Sizhen was escorted by Mama Qin and others that day, although she arrived in the Forbidden City, she had nightmares and couldn't afford to be sick, and the imperial doctor said that in front of a familiar environment and familiar people, it was conducive to her recovery, and Huang Ying and others were sent back from Guilin by Fulin.

Therefore, although they are both big girls, the relationship between Sizhen and Thrush is unusual, not just a simple master and servant.

Thrush, who is five years older than Sizhen, is more like one of her sisters.

With the thrush's encouragement, Sizhen instantly felt more assured, she laughed, and took the thrush's hand again: "Okay, let's ride a horse." ”

The thrush held Sizhen's hand instead, but said in a low voice: "The slave maid is not afraid of Mama Du, what the slave maid is worried about is the temperament of Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

"It's okay, Her Royal Highness the princess is a temperamental person, this time is quite good to me, don't worry, at most it's a horse race with her, it doesn't matter."

Thrush is still worried that Jianning will not be good for Sizhen.

After all, Princess Jianning is self-willed and spoiled, in the palace, she has always been held and protected, and now although she and Gege don't know each other, the relationship has improved, but if Gege wins her in front of everyone's eyes, I don't know how to be ashamed!

There are also twelve Gege, although she is the daughter of Emperor Taizong and the twelfth sister of the current emperor, but because her biological mother is Taizong's concubine Saiyin Nuoyan, she only has the title of a township monarch, not to mention the emperor's other concubine Thirteen Gege, so far there is not even a title.

Not long after Gege entered the palace, he was named Heshuo Gege, and he was listed as the county lord, which is equivalent to a much more noble identity than the twelve and thirteenth Gege.

Those two Gege are not only three or four years older than Gege, but also a royal girl who is a serious child, and she is born with a lower title than Gege, and her identity is not as respectful as Gege.

In addition, there is also an emperor's niece, Jin Ruigege-Talma is in it, but I am afraid that they will provoke Princess Jianning to embarrass Gege.

"Or—" Thrush stumbled to persuade Sizhen, "Or, Gege, you will lose to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and save them from always staring at you." ”

"Nope." Sizhen categorically refused, "Her Royal Highness the princess is not such a small-bellied person, even if she will be jealous, at most she will fight with me twice, and she will not really treat me badly, otherwise, last time in the garden, she could have called the people below to help." Think about it, if my dignified daughter of the king of Dingnan, who was born in martial arts, lost to the delicate Geges in the imperial city, wouldn't it be a joke? Dishonoring my father's prestige? ”

"That's true, but—what if those Geges are annoyed and make you even more embarrassed?!" On the one hand, Thrush felt that what Sizhen said was reasonable, but on the other hand, he was still worried that Sizhen was too flamboyant, after all, in this imperial city, Gege was an outsider, and the better his performance, the more he drove those full of Gege.

At that time, although there were many Han ministers in the court of the Qing Dynasty, in the eyes of many Manchus, they looked down on the Han people, and felt that they did not even keep the Ming Dynasty, so they had to beg for food in the hands of the Manchus, so from the bones, the Manchus felt superior to others.

Except for some self-esteem, most of the Hanchens will learn Manchu in order to seek a better future, and even a few vassal kings, the palace has specially invited Manchu people to teach, like Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, in order to integrate into the Manchu culture, in addition to their daily homework, they also learn Manchu since childhood, and understand the etiquette of the Manchus.

Under such circumstances, if Sizhen compares all these Manchu qualifications, although he will grow his own ambition, he will also establish many enemies because he has destroyed the prestige of too many people.

"Thrush, do you remember what my father once said?" Seeing that the thrush was worried about himself, Sizhen said, "The respect that others have for you stems from your own respect for yourself." If I deliberately let Talma, Ayunduo and Her Royal Highness the Princess, although I can please them for a while, I will be despised by them, thinking that we Han people are soft bones. ”

"When I win them in the open, even if they may be jealous or stumbling, they will no longer think that my father is a wasted name. Only then will the people in this palace understand that the defeat of the father and the king is due to the defeat of the power and not to his own weakness......"

The thrush choked there for a moment, staring at Sizhen with wide eyes and being speechless.

The people in this harem are accustomed to making hearts, but Gege has always made efforts, listening to the way the prince led the troops to fight, thinking that one force will drop ten times, and in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies will be crushed...... These ideas are completely different from the women in the palace, can they do it in the face of the crooked bowels of the harem women?

Thrush was silent, she knew that although Gege didn't say anything, the gossip in the palace was still listened to by Gege and remembered in her heart.

Those who chew the root of their tongues, saying that the king of Dingnan was born just a miner in Tieling, Liaodong, because he was named a so-called prince because he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and he committed suicide in defeat without any real ability, and was burned by Li Dingguo of the Southern Ming Dynasty, saying that the reason why the emperor and the queen mother were so polite was to show those vassal kings and vassal soldiers in the southwest.

But he never thought that the prince of the prince was fought with a knife and a gun, and if Guilin City was not for the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, it might not be broken by the elephant array of Li thieves, so that it would fall and be lost!

Gege is young and vigorous, he has never suffered such grievances, and when he heard the slander of the prince, he naturally wanted to find an opportunity to use his strength to prove that the king of Dingnan was indeed a hero, and he should not be underestimated!

Seeing that the thrush was silent, Sizhen laughed at herself: "They humiliated my father like that, but I couldn't rush out to theorize, because I know that not only the Manchurians look down on us Han, but even the Han people have always had grievances between the north and the south, and the words they said were not passed on from the outside court." Those Hanchens who boast that they are loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty on the one hand, and are shameless officials in the court, are the ones who scolded my father the most fiercely......"

The thrush hurriedly said: "Gege, don't listen to those personal nonsense, the prince is a loyal and righteous person, the emperor and the queen mother have already told the world, how can those people reverse black and white!" ”

"Of course!" Sizhen's eyes showed a look of perseverance: "Of course, my father is worthy of the name of loyalty and righteousness, he had many military exploits in the previous dynasty, and even if he betrayed later, it was because the previous dynasty forced him to a dead end, he couldn't help it, but he was infamous all his life, and he was ...... by Li Thief"

Sizhen paused, and endured the sour feeling in his nose: "The soldier dies for his confidant, and now the Qing Dynasty treats my father well, and my father swears allegiance to the death, he can die for the country, and he is also the virtue of a warrior, I don't know how many times stronger than those cowardly and timid poor sour literati, just by virtue of them, they are also worthy of speaking ill of their father?" Phew! It's just that although I don't bother to reason with them, I want them to know what it means to have no dog girls in Jiangmen, and that King Dingnan is good, and his children are also good! ”
