Chapter 51: The eldest brother should be like a father

Queen Renyi has been dead for nearly four years, and Princess Yecheng has been bullied a lot, but it is the first time that she feels so wronged.

If nothing else, just because this is the first time, when someone verbally bumped into my aunt, my uncle did nothing.

"I just came from the Xiancui Palace, and I heard from the eldest sister that Meng Jieyu and the others have been in the limelight recently, and the emperor has been worried about the affairs of the court for a while, and he doesn't want the harem to have more turmoil." Pei Yao pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and said with relief: "The princess doesn't have to take it to heart, you see, the emperor is jealous for Queen Renyi, and ordered the harem concubines to copy the scriptures and pray for it, even the pregnant Concubine Pan Guifei and Concubine Yuwende are not exempt, so I know that the emperor still cares about the queen in his heart." ”

Qing Tan lowered her head and listened, pursed her lips silently, paused, and then listened to her sigh, and then said: "The princess respects the queen, if you tell me, you know in your heart what kind of person she is, and there is no need to fight with those people." If you are involved in the turmoil, wouldn't the queen be even more at ease when she is under the Nine Springs? ”

Qingtan frowned and said, "Sister, I know what you said is reasonable, but this time it'......"

She prepared her words for a long time before she sighed: "I don't really want to see my uncle Meng Jieyu and them, it's just that the words in their mouths are really ugly, I don't want to hear people say that, aunt ......" As she spoke, she lowered her head again, twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and said softly: "My aunt is the best person in the world." My mother went early, and my father is the most polite and law-abiding person, and I can't even smile on weekdays, and I would cry when I saw him when I was a child......"

But isn't it, Pei Yaowei had a faint smile on her face, thinking that when Qingtan was just born, she was a small lump, she didn't recognize her life at all, and everyone could hold it, but when she fell into her father's arms, she cried like a wolf. The poor big brother's hands that can hold a gun and a pen can't do anything about it just with such a little white ball. Lying on the side of his daughter's small bed, with a look of bitterness and hatred, he had a headache a hundred times more than when he played against the enemy.

Qingtan said and wanted to cry again: "Since I was a child, my aunt and second uncle have loved me the most, especially my aunt, she ......"

She wanted to say that her aunt had borne all the hardships alone, protected herself to grow up smoothly, and never showed any hatred in front of her.

But these words are too light to say, and a word of gratitude is difficult to express her feelings.

For example, in today's Description Fang Pavilion, the things that Meng Shi said in the mouths of the Meng family were all gradually learned from Su Xue's mouth in the past two years. Everything in the past, even the entanglement between Pei and Pan, when my aunt was there, she would never talk to her.

At that time, Su Xue said that the master wanted her to grow up happily, and when she became an adult, he would tell her everything frankly. After all, these things can't be left there, but the happy childhood is only a few years, and once it is ruined, it will be a lifetime thing. She didn't want her niece to be like herself, bound by hatred and bent her heart.

However, people are not as good as heaven, Queen Renyi died suddenly, and the pattern in the palace changed suddenly, in order to let Qingtan know how to protect herself, Su Xue had no choice but to inform her of the past in advance.

"I want to tell my aunt that I live according to her wishes, I don't hate much, I just ......" Dou Da's tears snapped and broke on his hand, Qingtan sniffed, and her voice became softer: "I just miss her very much, I don't want anyone to say bad things about her." They hadn't seen my aunt at all, so how could they talk so nonsense and spread falsehoods? ”

Pei Yaowei gently stroked her hair, and said in her heart, those who will spread falsehoods will spread falsehoods no matter what, maybe, if they have seen themselves, now that their mouths are arranged, they will not be clean.

"It's because they haven't seen Queen Renyi, so what they say doesn't have to be taken seriously." She smiled faintly, thought about it, and boasted shamelessly: "Not everyone is like a princess, there is an aunt who loves you so much, and she will teach you to only remember the kindness and benefits of others, and not slander or resent." ”

Qingtan nodded vigorously, and eased up for a while, finally feeling a little more comfortable.

"By the way, sister," the maid came to serve tea, Qingtan's mood calmed down, and asked: "When I came back, I heard Jiaran say that you have been here once before, but what is the important thing to find me?" ”

Pei Yaowei nodded, followed, and told her about entrusting her to go to the Shou Palace to accompany her mother and queen mother in her free time.

"That's it?" Qingtan smiled happily: "Sister, don't worry, I will go to the Queen Mother every day to say goodbye, just talk to her!" As she spoke, she thought of Aunt Song coming, and she couldn't help but sigh sadly, "I also heard about Aunt Song before, Aunt Song is pitiful, and the Queen Mother is afraid that it is not comfortable." It is inconvenient for my sister to enter the palace every day, so she can rest assured that she will leave this matter to me. Speaking of which, in the past few years, the Queen Mother has also taken care of me, which is what I should do! ”

One thing hanging in his heart came to an end, Pei Yao smiled lightly, looking at Qingtan's gaze, very pleased.

Because of saying such a thing to Qingtan, on the way home, Pei Yaowei suddenly remembered her eldest brother again.

I still remember that year, before the eldest brother set out on the expedition, he had a long talk with himself about his conspiracy with King Qin.

The brothers and sisters who grew up under the same roof, when it comes to temperament, Shungong Pei Changge, compared to the second brother Pei Yaoge and the younger sister Pei Yao, it is not like being fed with rice in a pot.

Shun Gong is a rigid and polite person, and the stone friend who voted for his score is also known for his rigorous and solemn cousin, Yasukuni Gong Zhao Zhi. Pei Yaowei and her eldest brother are twelve years apart, although she was not like Qingtan when she was a child, she cried when she saw him, but she was not much better than her, every time she saw her, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, and she couldn't wait to raise her claws and run.

In her memory, the eldest brother has been with her heart to heart twice in her life, both times, all for the same two people - Xiao Di and Xiao Zhu.

For the first time, after the prince repented of her marriage, she went out to live in Zhaoye Temple to meditate, and soon, Xiao Zhu came to the door and wanted to cooperate with her. When the eldest brother found out about this, he called himself to his side to talk. He didn't say much that time, and Pei Yaowei barely listened to it, but remembered that the main purpose of his words was to keep the rules, don't associate with the King of Qin, and don't compete with the prince.

Pei Yaowei naturally didn't listen to him.

The second time was the eve of the eldest brother's departure with the army.

It was a very ordinary night, in August, the weather was still a little hot, the moon struggled to climb high, she was worried about the next day, the eldest brother and the second brother were going to go on the expedition, she was uneasy, leaning on the beauty couch under the porch, holding the lantern in a daze, and pondering to herself.

When Pei Changge came over, she was inexplicably a little flustered. Since he and Lu, the eldest brother has kept the etiquette, and he rarely comes to his room on weekdays, not to mention that it is still in such a dark sky, suddenly.

"I'm going to go out in a few hours, why hasn't my eldest brother slept yet?" She gathered her cloak, sat up straight, sent the maid away, and personally poured a cup of nectar water for her brother, her eyebrows full of concern: "The march is already hard, if you hurt your spirit, it will be even more uncomfortable!" ”

Since he had the intention to go on the expedition, Pei Changge had been busy in the shogunate for several days, and it was not until the eve of his departure that he took time to return to the house and have a meal with his younger siblings. He thought about it for a long time in the bedroom, and finally decided to come, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be out on the expedition and his heart would not be at ease.

"This expedition, I don't know when I will be able to return, I think about it for my brother, there are some things, I don't want to explain it to you, I really can't rest assured."

When Pei Yao heard this, she understood seven or eight points in her heart.

She lowered her head slightly, pulled the corners of her mouth, and asked, "Big brother...... Is it for the business of King Qin? ”

Pei Changge was silent for a moment, and when he spoke, he didn't go straight in.

"Huh, do you think the eldest brother hurts Qingtan?"

Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, looked at him in a daze, and only said something after a while, naturally it hurt.

Pei Changge smiled, "You don't know, when you were young, your eldest brother loved you more." ”

This is the first time Pei Yaowei has heard such emotional words from her unsmiling eldest brother.

Pei Changge said: "Your second brother was too naughty when he was a child, and the family couldn't live in peace, and you also know your father's temperament, it's just a matter of not being a father and son together, let alone expecting his old man to restrain one or two." Yes, when my mother was pregnant with you, I secretly prayed that I was a younger sister, quiet and well-behaved, caring and sensible. ”

Hearing this, Pei Yao scratched her face, and her cheeks were a little red.

Pei Changge glanced at her meaningfully, but he didn't sigh twice in disappointment, but continued: "Although you have been a little unsatisfactory since you were born, but for so many years, the eldest brother's love for you is no less than that of Qingtan. ”

Pei Yao's nose was sour, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said, "Big brother loves me, I know." ”

Pei Changge stared at her for a moment, and continued: "Most of our daughters' lives have no choice. A few years after you were born, Your Majesty announced to the world that the third prince would be the crown prince, and at that time I knew that he was your future husband. ”

Hearing this, Pei Yao's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist, and he couldn't listen to it anymore.

She looked up at her brother and asked quite hurriedly: "What does the eldest brother want to say, you might as well just say it." ”

There's really no need to mention to me more people who shouldn't be mentioned. She said secretly.

Pei Changge's eyebrows moved slightly, and a vague sense of pity appeared, and after a while, he sighed, and continued: "Big brother wants to tell you that over the years, big brother has been silently observing the East Palace, for fear that my little sister will be entrusted to no one in the end. ”

Pei Yao was stunned.

"Big brother...... "She didn't know what her brother meant. Do you want to defend Xiao Di? Or did he want to tell himself that he was looking at the wrong person?

Pei Changge's next words became more and more unexpected to her: "Naturally, the matter above the prince's private inspection is not too much to take out and whip a hundred times. It's just that this country can't and will never be swayed by the love of children. Do you understand? ”
