Although Du Mingxin didn't understand the intention of Anping's words, he still listened quietly.

"At that time, my father had a place north of Shaanxi, which was far away from Xi'an. We hid in horror day by day, but someone still came to the door to search. The queen mother first hid King Yu, and then the eagle dog of the Zhou Dynasty came. ”

An Ping spoke quietly, with no expression on his face. "After escaping that catastrophe, life gradually got better, but I often think about that day. At that time, King Yu was the only son of his father, so it was naturally right to hide him first. But is it my fault to be born a woman? ”

"I am a woman, the daughter of the world's number one thief. At that time, I often thought about what would happen to me if my father was defeated. If my father had won the world, what would I do? Zuo is just an insignificant princess. ”

"My mother was not liked by my father, and when she was alive, the two of them did not have much affection, and my mother was not blessed to enjoy the most noble days in this world. Since God asked my father to be the son of heaven, I don't want to be like thousands of women in the world, compromise, resigned to fate and live a lifetime. ”

"Since I like Lin Lang, I want him to be my husband." An Ping turned his head to look at Du Mingxin, "I know your original situation, and I know that maybe the marriage with the Lin family is like a life-saving straw for you." However, if I had known about your marriage contract beforehand, I would probably have done the same thing. ”

Du Mingxin nodded, still silent, but understood the intention of An Ping's words that seemed to be heart-wrenching. The meaning of the princess is very simple, I suffered at the beginning, and now I am willing to suffer, so I naturally want to enjoy life. And because he is not a prince, he has no family and country responsibilities, although he is depressed, he can live freely.

Maybe this is an explanation for yourself? Du Mingxin chuckled, Princess Anping was probably just asking for peace of mind, otherwise what would she do if she said what she was suffering in the first place?

"Since the princess is so frank, then I will also be honest." Du Mingxin smiled, "I never thought of marrying Cheng Anhou. At that time, my greatest wish was to be able to live on the Zhuangzi of Songshan for the rest of my life, and I had nothing else to ask for. ”

"Don't you disdain to marry Lin Lang?" An Ping looked at Du Mingxin inquiringly, "You believe the rumors on the streets, you don't understand him." ”

Du Mingxin smiled and said: "Whether I understand or not, Cheng Anhou is really an inconsequential matter. ”

Princess Anping ignored her words and continued to speak: "The outside world only says that he is a disloyal and unrighteous minister, so if you say this, what is the father?" What are your uncles, Chen Xi, and Dingguo Gong who followed their father? Just look at the results, regardless of the reason, then what is the difference between you and those foolish people on the street? ”

This princess is really unforgiving when she speaks...... Du Ming smiled bitterly, but seeing that she wanted to say it very much, she had to let her continue.

"Lin Lang has a sister who used to be the concubine of Emperor Changqing of the Zhou Dynasty, do you know this?"

Du Mingxin shook his head: "It's the first time I've heard of it." ”

"Lin Bi had already married the son of the world's best friend, and he was a match made in heaven. But Emperor Changqing had a habit of snatching the wives and daughters of his ministers, and he was deceived into the palace after just over a month of marriage, and then there was no news. ”

"It wasn't until Lin Lang passed sixteen and entered the palace as a guard that there was news of my sister again. Everyone knows that the concubines in the palace are brocade clothes and jade food, and they are extremely noble, but they can be concubines for people like Emperor Changqing. ”

Du Mingxin was silent, it turned out that Lin Lang took refuge in Chen Yuantai and shot Emperor Changqing, but there was such a reason behind it.

"Then where is the sister of the Lin family now?" Du Mingxin hoped that this hard-working woman would have a less bitter ending.

"In the Hou Mansion, I was originally going to become a monk, but I was desperately persuaded by Mrs. Tai to go back. Now as a layman at home, it is easy not to associate with others. ”

This can be regarded as a good ending......

"I'm not talking to you about anything else, I just really can't see that anyone thinks Lin Lang is bad." Princess Anping turned around and beckoned to her people, and said to Du Mingxin, "I'm tired, I have to go back first." ”

Du Mingxin squatted down and saluted, sent the princess away, and when he came back, he stood on the edge of the racecourse, stunned by the bloody remnant sun.

The remaining two days in Taiping Yuan were very relaxed, Deng Wenjiao seemed to have been detained by the queen, and she was never seen coming out again. The emperor and a group of important ministers were nowhere to be seen, and they probably stayed in the western guard of the capital camp to rectify military affairs.

Mrs. Yuan didn't know what method she used to impress the queen, and even asked her to be the master, so that Deng Wenjiao's mother, Mrs. An Guogong, recognized Yuan Rong as her goddaughter. The day before leaving, Mrs. Yuan took Yuan Rong to find Mrs. Xu, and the smugness on the faces of the mother and daughter couldn't be hidden.

Xu Yuan snickered at Du Mingxin: "If it weren't for the fact that my three brothers were married, I would have suspected that they came to our family to say goodbye!" ”

Du Ming thought about Yuan Ying's words when he came, and he was worried. If Yuan Rong was her little aunt, would her little uncle like her temperament? If you have children in the future, I'm afraid that they will all be raised upside down one by one!

After returning to Beijing, he has been very calm, but suddenly heard that Deng Wenjiao was sick. Du Mingxin sent someone to send the post over, but when he came back, no one could tell the reason.

"The people in the Guogong Mansion are very strict and don't say anything. The little one wanted to ask about the eldest lady's illness, but he refused to say anything. ”

Du Ming thought about it, but he couldn't guess what kind of illness Deng Wenjiao would have. But since the Anguo Mansion is secretive, it is unusual for the illness to come.

In the Qianqing Palace, Chen Yuantai was laughing and talking with Chen Xi: "You are getting more and more promising!" In this way, a girl who has not been out of the cabinet has been discovered, and even my face has been lost by you! ”

Chen Xi said with a smile: "Erchen thinks that things are done secretly, and if my father doesn't say it, no one else will know." ”

"Stinky boy!" Chen Yuantai stretched out his hand and flicked Chen Xi's head, "It's going to be on me!" ”

"Father," Chen Xi said, "Miss Deng has embarrassed Miss Du many times, and last time, because my father had already punished her, I didn't bother with her about whipping again." Unexpectedly, this time she intensified her efforts and actually drugged her diet! ”

"So you will treat others the way they do?" Chen Yuantai smiled, "How many days are you going to prepare for this croton powder?" ”

"Until she thinks she's wrong."

Chen Yuantai smiled: "Looking for Deng Wenjiao's temper, I'm afraid this croton powder will have to be eaten for some more time!" ”
