Since I was a child, I have known very well that in this palace, if you are crowned with the words "not favored", then any slave and maid around the mother will be nobler than you.

When Jiang Zitang was kicked to the ground by the eldest princess, I knew that he was not doing well in the palace.

The eldest princess was born to the queen's mother, and she was used to being domineering in the palace, and Ah Niang and my brother both warned me to stay away from the eldest princess, and I couldn't afford to hide it.

"It's just a concubine, and I dare not listen to the words of this princess!" The eldest princess looked disdainful, she used her nostrils as her eyes, and her words were even more domineering: "Don't think that being the companion of the fourth child is noble, my grandfather wants you, that is to look up to you!" ”

Just when the eldest princess was about to kick down again, I ran out from behind the rockery, I'm sorry, Auntie, brother, this is full of dangers, if you come back intact as you wish, you will study hard every day.

I pretended to stumble and fall at the feet of the eldest princess, that kick on the body really hurt, I guess it was going to be bruised, this eldest princess must have eaten several bowls of rice every day, otherwise how strong would it be.

I was kicked to the ground with a deliberately surprised face, and crawled to the side two steps without a trace, just blocking Jiang Zitang behind, and then I looked up at the eldest princess with a look of surprise: "Ah, it's big sister!" ”

The eldest princess frowned and took two steps back, with a look of disgust: "Where did you get out of?" ”

I pointed to the back of the rockery, "There, that's there, I was catching insects to play, and when I heard the voice of the big sister, I immediately ran over, big sister big sister, do you want to see the insects, it's very fun." ”

Hearing the insects, the eldest princess's face immediately changed, she took several steps back, and dragged the maidservant girl next to her to block her, and shouted loudly: "Where, where are the insects!" Throw it away for me! ”

"That's it."

I spread out my palm, and a small cricket was lying on my palm with the tentacles on the top of my head, and suddenly I saw the light, and the cricket immediately jumped out of my hand, and it happened to jump on the upper of the eldest princess's shoes.

"Ahhh

The screams of the eldest princess can really be described as breaking through the sky, the eldest princess is afraid of insects, especially the insects that can jump and fly, she is even more afraid, which is well known in the palace.

Taking advantage of the palace maid's mess to grab the crickets, I quietly turned my head to look at Jiang Zitang, who had just been kicked to the ground by the eldest princess, and now he was still kneeling, but his face was very pale, and he couldn't even speak.

"You shouldn't have come, you should go."

"Shh," I made a silent gesture with my index finger, and slowly helped him up with Jiang Zitang's arm.

Crickets are the most jumping, and when I saw it in the crack of the rockery, I immediately came up with a good way to get out, and now the eldest princess is being made by the worm to cry wolf, and she runs away regardless of the hem of her skirt, how can you notice that we have stolen away.

I helped Jiang Zitang to the corner of an uninhabited side hall, and there was some light sweat on his forehead, and he didn't look very good.

Isn't it that the kick of the eldest princess was too heavy? So I sat down on the floor and asked him, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Jiang Zitang shook his head, holding his hands and trying to stand up, but as soon as his hand touched the ground, he gasped, and his brows furrowed more and more, "......"

"What's wrong?" I immediately approached, and saw Jiang Zitang raise his palm, and a long blood mark could be seen on the palm, Xu was kicked to the ground just now, and then his hand was scratched by the stones on the ground.

Jiang Zitang's face showed a wry smile, and his arms were placed on both sides, but I didn't just see the wound on the palm, the moment he raised his hand, the sleeve slipped off his elbow, and several bruised whip marks were clearly visible on his arm.

I suddenly found that my voice was a little shaky: "Brother Jiang, those hurt ......"

Jiang Zitang raised his arm and put it on his eyes, he looked tired, because he was tired, he didn't even speak as cold and alienated as before, and it seemed that a gust of wind could blow it away.

"The Grand Duke asked me to be his companion, but I didn't agree."

Don't think about it, the eldest princess must have fallen in love with Jiang Zitang's beauty, she is the best and loves to rob other people's things, a wooden dragonfly made for me by my brother in the past was robbed by her, and now she is going to rob people again, it is really too much, I opened my mouth and wanted to say a few words, but Jiang Zitang continued to talk to himself.

"When I was six years old, my mother died, they wanted to throw my mother in a mass grave, I didn't agree, and then I set fire to my mother's house, my mother slept in it, the house was gone, my mother was gone, but at least my mother didn't have to go to the mass grave to be bullied by lonely souls and ghosts, I was punished and beaten 30 boards, kneeling outside the ancestral hall, I am not qualified to kneel inside."

"At the age of twelve, Concubine De took a fancy to me and asked me to be the companion of the four princes, Jiang Chenyu was very angry, and let people put laxatives in my meals, and the doctor was not allowed to treat me, my life could not match the joy and anger of the eldest young master of the Jiang family."

"I am the son of the drama in the Jiang family, a humiliation, a cheap seed who can't be on the stage, a thorn in the heart of Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, and the pain can't be pulled out." Jiang Zitang put down his arms, his eyes were as calm as waves, he seemed to be telling the stories of others, but his hands were desperately clenched into fists.

"Brother Jiang......"

"Princess," Jiang Zitang looked at me, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, shallow and faint, gentle and gentle, and whispered to me: "Do you know now?" I don't have anything to like, I hope the princess stops. ”

My heart suddenly hurt, I know that Jiang Zitang is not the Jiang prince that everyone envies, to outsiders, the Jiang family is the top of the powerful family, but he is the only one who thinks about how to escape all the time.

There are so many banquets in the palace, although I am an unfavored princess, in the end I can go because of my identity, but back to the banquet, I have never seen him, and the one who follows Jiang Guogong will always be the arrogant Jiang Dagongzi, only the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet some time ago, he was brought by the four princes, but anyone can see that Jiang Guogong is very displeased with this Jiang Ergongzi, he can scold Jiang Zitang in front of the courtiers' families for not knowing the rules, and he can also scold him for not being as good as his eldest brother at all, Even the fourth prince regretted that he had known that he would not bring him to the banquet.

However, Jiang Zitang is Jiang Zitang, and there are clouds in the book: there is jade in the stones, and the pines are like emeralds. Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world.

He is the only one in my heart.

The first time, I hated my clumsy mouth, I didn't know how to comfort Jiang Zitang, but I was clumsy and bold, and actually grabbed his hand, the scars on the palm were stuck with some gravel and dust, I opened my mouth to ask him if it hurt, but found that his mouth was salty, and he was crying for Jiang Zitang.

"A-Niang said, if it hurts, it won't hurt, I'll help you breathe."

I wiped away my tears with the back of my hand, pouted and slowly blew on Jiang Zitang's palm, a small amount of sand and dust was blown away, I could feel the person in front of me froze, but the more I blew the tears, they kept falling, flowing through my cheeks and falling straight on Jiang Zitang's palm.

His fingers shrunk, and for a long time I heard a sigh above me, and he said, "Princess, why be so stupid." ”

At the age of fourteen, I didn't do it because I was stupid, I liked him and wanted to blow away all the pain for him.

When I was nineteen years old, he asked me if it hurt, and when he squatted in front of me to blow away the pain for me, I retreated.

The chess pieces fell to the ground with a clatter, and if there was a hole in the ground at this moment, I would definitely not hesitate to get into it.

"I'm sorry, Prime Minister Jiang, I just wanted to stand up......" However, his hand accidentally propped up on the chessboard and slipped a chess piece.

A black chess piece rolled to my feet, and Jiang Zitang stretched out his foot and kicked it aside.

"Princess, the minister said, don't say sorry to the minister anymore."

Jiang Zitang's eyes were clear, I looked at him, and I wanted to ask why, there was no longer even an excuse entanglement between the two, was everything clear.

Suddenly there were two light coughs from behind, and I turned my head to see that it was Zhu Yanhe and Aya who had returned.

Aya ran to me with the ice cube and asked, "Princess, are you better?" You may be better with a Xiaoice cube. ”

I nodded, the cold ice cube was in my mouth, and the feeling of pain and numbness seemed to have really subsided a lot, but I saw Zhu Yanhe winking at Jiang Zitang, and Jiang Zitang showed a little temperament that only young people have, and touched his nose and turned his back.

I couldn't say how bored I was, Aya took a small jar, I spit out the ice, and it was time to go back.

"Xiangye, someone in the front hall came to report, and the squire of the military department came, saying that he had something important to discuss with Xiangye."

The housekeeper suddenly came to report, Jiang Zitang hummed lightly, and turned his head to look at me, "Princess, it is inconvenient for the minister to accompany me more." ”

"It's okay, Prime Minister Jiang should go quickly, the affairs of the DPRK and China are important, and I am also planning to return home."

"It's okay," Jiang Zitang pondered for a while, and then said to Zhu Yanhe: "Zhu girl, then you can help me send the princess back." ”

Zhu Yanhe smiled, "The princess's mansion is next to you, you are still afraid that people will disappear." ”

There are more than 20 begonia trees in the begonia forest, but along the way, I didn't see the one that probed into my yard, and I guess it was at the very edge.

"It's not easy to raise these begonia trees." Zhu Yanhe said and suddenly stopped at the edge of a begonia tree, "Three years ago, Jiang Zitang bought this piece of land and sent someone to transport these begonia trees from Huailai to Chang'an overnight, watering and pruning them every day, taking care of them carefully, never pretending to be in the hands of others, it can be said that he is careless." ”

The capital is a new green between the branches, Xiaolei is deep in a few reds, these begonia flowers are really beautiful, but in the end they are not as good as the begonia by the pond, because there was a gentle fairy sleeping underneath.

The housekeeper said that Jiang Zitang took these begonias very seriously, so when Zhu Yanhe reached out to fold the flowers, I hurriedly tried to stop her, but I was still a step too slow.

"I wish the girl, this flower, this flower can't be broken."

"How can it not be broken, since this flower is planted for others to see, it will naturally have to be worn by others."

Zhu Yanhe smiled brightly, raised his hand and inserted the red begonia flower in my hair, and praised at the end: "The real person is more delicate than the flower." ”

"I wish the girl, this is not good......"

I said that I was going to take down the begonia, but I didn't let Yanhe, and asked Aya: "Look at it, is your princess very good-looking?" ”

Aya looked left and right, very happy: "Princess, it's really good-looking!" ”

No matter how good-looking it is, this flower doesn't belong to me, and this person is not as good as the talented girl of Chang'an, who is only sixteen years old and famous in all directions.

In Chang'an City, who does not know Zhu Yanhe, since she thirteen to participate in the Liuyu banquet, in one fell swoop for three consecutive years, 16 o'clock is to a song "Chang'an Fu" stunning four, everyone praises, many Chang'an geniuses to copy the girl's poems as proud, for a while it is not an exaggeration to say that Luoyang paper is expensive.

Three years ago, Zhu Yanhe stood at the head of Chang'an's ladies in the name of a talented woman, that is, in that year, she refused to marry the four princes, and the four were in an uproar, and it was also in that year that I was accused of going to the Southern Dynasty and relatives, and Jiang Zitang personally admitted that he liked Zhu Yanhe.

"Princess."

In front of the mansion, Zhu Yanhe suddenly stopped me, took out an invitation from his sleeve, and handed it to me with both hands, "I forgot to say that the Liuyu banquet will be held in Qushui in January, and many young ladies in Chang'an will participate, if the princess can appreciate it, it will be excellent." ”

Liuzhen feast, every spring will be held in Chang'an's Qushui Pavilion, it is said that it was originally held by a Queen Derong of the Northern Dynasty, its purpose is to choose a concubine for the prince, then invite Chang'an famous lady to hold a banquet, in the banquet, with the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on talent, the queen mother personally looked at each other's comments.

Since there is a prince to choose a concubine, there is a princess to choose a son-in-law, so the Liuyu banquet will also invite the sons of the family, so that in the future, it will slowly form a banquet for the young ladies of the rich and noble families in Chang'an, but there are still young ladies in the banquet to say that if you can shine in the Liuzhen banquet, it is the best for the ladies of the family.

But when it comes to talent, I can barely take out the book and talk about it, and this little talent is thanks to Jiang Zitang.

At that time, I followed him all day long, in order not to let me disturb him, he gave me books to learn, first "Three Hundred Poems", and then "Historical Records of the Northern Dynasties", "Ruo Shen Fu", "Confucius", in short, it became more and more difficult to learn, and the books given to me by Jiang Zitang became thicker and thicker.

Several times I secretly put the notebook in the book, and I don't know if he had a pair of eyes in the back, and he knew that I was not reading, so he quietly walked up to me and took my notebook away.

"Hey, me, I'll just watch for a while."

"Not really."

"Then can you give me back the notebook?"

"No, I won't pay it back."

I wanted to try to persuade him again, but Jiang Zitang swept over with a cold eye, so I obediently lowered my head and stared at the words in the book.

Now that I think about it, I can have such a little talent, and I still have to thank him, otherwise I would be speechless for being a princess who can't read big words, and others are speechless.

But to go to the feast, this is something I never thought, the girl sitting there is more talented than the other, this piano is good, the painting is excellent, if it is compared, I must be the last.

Xu I have been hesitant, and Zhu Yanhe said again: "If the princess comes, it will be a good guest for our feast, and it is better to enjoy the flowers and listen to the music than to be bored in the house, isn't it?" ”

I took the invitation and smiled at Zhu Yanhe: "Thank you Zhu girl, I will definitely go then." ”

The octagonal palace lamp swayed gently in front of the house with the wind, and the blue skirt of Zhu Yanhe Lake rippled on the steps, fluttering like a shock, often saying that people rely on clothes, and sometimes they are not clothes to lining, I retracted my gaze, raised my feet and was just about to enter the house, but I heard Zhu Yanhe turn around and call me.

"Princess, by the way, the courtiers forgot to say, Prime Minister Jiang will also go to this Liuyu banquet."

I stumbled and almost didn't trip over the steps, Aya hurriedly helped me, I turned back to look at Zhu Yanhe, but all I was left with was the sound of the carriage clattering, this is really afraid of something, is the prime minister so idle?
