Chapter 191: The Past Is Like Blood

(Cat pounces on Chinese) The five princes looked at the five boxes placed on the kang table, followed Li Tian's fingers and introduced the five boxes one by one, his brows wrinkled more and more, and Li Tian said very quickly in one breath: "...... Mr. Shui only remembers the silk in this box, she didn't say that she hadn't seen it, you see, although these things are different, but these lanyards, cushions, and patterns on the box, at first glance, are from the hands of one person, Mama Wen has been waiting by the grandmother's side since the grandmother married, she said that the person who gave this immortal fruit was a well-dressed and very delicate little guy, and the grandmother only said that it must be sent by one person, but I don't know who the person who sent the thing is. Please use this site to access. ”

The fifth prince held the square inkstone, looked at it carefully, and then carefully looked at the Huanghuali box, pointed at the bottom of the grinding money, looked at Li Tian and said: "This inkstone and this box are indeed things in the palace, according to the convention, the prince who has the most red in the window class in a year, will be rewarded at the end of the year with a high-grade inkstone, I have seen it in the eldest brother, it is such a box." ”

"Then this is an official thing? Who is Aunt Yao? Li Tian motioned to the five princes to show the abrasion marks on the bottom of the inkstone, and the five princes touched it absentmindedly, and then whispered after a while: "I moved into the palace when I was seven years old, and I was still young when I was in the palace, and I didn't know many things and didn't remember them. ”

Li Tian looked at the five princes expectantly, the five princes frowned, and said: "The Huang family and Daddy have been in contact for a long time," the five princes started with the Huang family, Li Tian moved and sat down, listening carefully to every word: "When Daddy opened the mansion, he led an envoy to the northwest to inspect the military horses, this is a drudgery, the Huang family's business was good at that time, but it was not a big business, even in Taiyuan Mansion, listening to the meaning of the Huang shopkeeper, it was the Huang family that Daddy was looking for, from that time on, the Huang family was secretly at first, Later, Akari helped Daddy do a lot of things. ”

The way of the world's major merchants is one of the favorite topics to talk to her when my grandmother was alive, and my grandmother said that the Huang family must have exchanged money with the official family before Aunt Huang entered the hidden mansion, which turned out to be the case.

"Mother into the palace was not yet sixteen years old, when the old lady Huang sent someone to send his mother to leave for Beijing, he was transferred back to the Huang shopkeeper, ready to let him enter the capital scheduling, before and after the mother entered the house, the Huang shopkeeper was very clear, he said that the mother into the hidden mansion is the meaning of the father, originally according to the plan of the old lady of the Huang family, and was not ready to send the mother into the house so early, the old lady Huang has extraordinary vision, according to his plan, is to let the mother enter the house two years late, enter the house for a year or two to have children, if it is good luck, when the father is sixty years old, I am just in my early twenties," The corners of the fifth prince's mouth showed a slight sneer: "People who think they are smart are like this, thinking that the world is in his calculations." ”

Li Tian saw that the fifth prince did not answer, only made a cup of tea and pushed it to him, and the fifth prince took a few sips of tea before continuing: "Mother was sick on the road, and she arrived in the capital two months late, otherwise, she would enter the house at the same time as Concubine Ye." Li Tian was stunned for a moment, and entered the mansion at the same time as Concubine Ye! The second master and the third master are only half a year apart, and Concubine Sun and Concubine Liu entered the mansion at the same time, and this is the same time to enter the mansion!

The fifth prince pinched the cup and shook it slowly, lowered his eyelids and looked at the green and yellow tea, and then continued: "My mother became pregnant not long after she entered the house, saying that she died in childbirth. ”

Li Tian trembled slightly, back then, there was a constant killing outside the submerged mansion, and he was afraid that the killing inside the submerged mansion would be just as thrilling.

"When my aunt entered the palace, she brought four girls and a grandmother, the four girls died and scattered, only Han Mama has been staying by Aniang's side, after A-Niang died, she followed me to wait, until I was ten years old, said that there was an epidemic into the palace, Han Mama was also infected, and was sent to the well to wait for death, Huang Da shopkeeper tried his best to take her out, did not dare to let her stay in the capital, and quietly sent back to Taiyuan Mansion to be raised, Han Mama is honest, very few words, from childhood to adulthood, she only told me one word, said that my aunt repeatedly confessed to her before she died, so that she must teach me to love my eldest brother as a father and treat Aunt Yao as a mother. ”

The fifth prince met Li Tian's shocked gaze, and said with a wry smile in his eyes: "Mother's words must not be said casually, Huang shopkeeper said that mother is extremely smart, if you follow the old lady Huang's wishes, let her enter the mansion in two years, she will definitely be able to live well, she was too young when she entered the mansion." ”

"Doesn't it mean that the Qiandi has always been in charge of Aunt Yao, and after Concubine Ye entered the mansion, it was taken care of by Concubine Ye and Aunt Yao?" Li Tian had something to say, and the fifth prince understood what she meant: "Because of my mother's words, I have always paid attention to Aunt Yao's affairs, but Aunt Yao seems to be a taboo, people like Zheng Daguan who are sure to know, they never mention her, and there are very few letters that can be heard, Aunt Yao entered the palace at the age of eight or nine, and was assigned to Daddy's side to serve back then, when Daddy became a family and opened the house, she was the head of the outer court, and later was accepted as an aunt, and the outer courtyard has always been in charge of her, before Ye Guifei, the inner courtyard was first in charge of the queen, Later, it was Concubine Sun and Concubine Liu who were in charge, and then Concubine Ye Guifei, if I heard it, she should not have been in charge of the inner courtyard. ”

v Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, probably because of these gifts, she couldn't help but stand in Aunt Yao's position first, afraid that she would have anything to do with the death of the mother of the fifth prince.

"I still remember Aunt Yao, she smiled very beautifully, she was very warm, and she spoke very kindly, I liked to see her very much, but I didn't go there very often." The fifth prince lowered his head, for a while, did not look up, and said in a slightly vague voice: "The year Aunt Yao passed away, I had just turned six years old, I don't remember how I hid in the tent behind the coffin at that time, and saw Daddy come in, lying on Aunt Yao's coffin and crying, crying," The fifth prince seemed to be thinking about how to describe it: "It seems that Daddy is about to die, I have never dared to mention it to anyone, I have had nightmares for many years, and I seem to hear Daddy's cry again in my dream, and I feel that Daddy's crying will die as soon as the crying stops." ”

Li Tian looked at the five princes with pity, born in the royal family, they are all pitiful people, Li Tian reached over, gently pressed on the hands of the five princes, sighed but did not speak, the five princes looked down at Li Tian's hand, and said abruptly: "Aunt Yao may be related to you, you and her smile is very good-looking and warm." ”

"Oh," Li Tian was suddenly a little embarrassed, withdrew his hand suddenly, and hurriedly explained: "I checked, first from the mother-in-law, the Ning family has no close relatives surnamed Yao, the mother-in-law has no sisters, only one younger brother, that is, cousins, and she is not married to someone surnamed Yao's family, and neither is the Li family, I don't think Aunt Yao is related to the Li family," Li Tian's words were sentence after sentence, as if she kept saying so that she could not be embarrassed: "These gifts from Aunt Yao are all related to the mother-in-law, and there are also gifts for aunt's birth, first birthday, and Jilu, I asked my aunt to show me, and it was similar to these, but my uncle didn't have any, none of them. ”

"What about when my aunt gets married?" The fifth prince asked very unnaturally, Li Tian shook his head: "My aunt said that it was very chaotic at that time, and many of the makeup was put into the box without indicating who sent it, and there were several boxes of such things, and it was really impossible to tell the difference." Li Tian said as he stood up and lifted the boiling water from the kang stove and made two cups of tea.

"I'm looking for someone to find out how Aunt Yao entered the palace, and what people are in the family, it's not difficult to check." The fifth prince looked at Li Tian making tea unhurriedly, the fragrance of tea overflowed, his mood gradually calmed down, and he exhaled softly and said: "This won't be wrong, Daddy doesn't want me to stand up for myself at all, he knows mine, no wonder he will marry you to me, Aunt Yao sent these things, Daddy must know that the inkstone is the old inkstone, it is Daddy's thing." ”

"The official family is very unusual to Aunt Yao." Li Tian thought about it and said in a low voice, the fifth prince thought for a long time before shaking his head and said: "I don't know, if you say it well, firstly, Aunt Yao only gave birth to one eldest brother, and there is nothing to do after that, secondly, there are so many side concubines and aunts in the palace, and no one can guess the thoughts of the official family...... When Daddy ascended the throne, he was the only living son of Ong Weng. ”

Li Tian sighed softly, this tragic battle for the prince, she heard more about the past and all kinds of legends than the five princes, first the crown prince, it is said that it was poisoned in the palace of the first queen, his biological mother, the first queen saw her son bleed and die in front of him, the prince has been in chaos for many years after his death, and there are countless officials who have been implicated in the family, and the sin slaves who have not been released in the palace in those years are overcrowded, and even with the people of the capital, how good the female slaves are not sold for money, eight princes, one after another died seven, There are only five families that have been destroyed, is a new cycle about to begin? Li Tian shuddered lightly, sad with fear, looking at the five princes, not knowing what to say.

"Now it's not as good as before, Daddy is not Weng Weng, and among our brothers, there is no Daddy, and relax." The fifth prince comforted Li Tian in a low voice, and also comforted himself.

"What should I do about the Shangyuan Festival?" Li Tian raised his head and asked, the fifth prince took a deep breath: "Don't worry about anything else, just take care of two things, one is the meaning of Daddy, and the other is what the eldest brother means, look at Daddy's meaning, it is not allowed for me to live freely anymore, the eldest brother is more lenient than Daddy, but his mind is just as deep and he can't guess, no matter how deep his mind is, he must not want to let the fourth brother win the lottery of the Shangyuan Festival, and this lottery can only be fought for." ”

"It's hard for a good daughter-in-law to cook rice!" Li Tian spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"Let's think about it again, think about it again, you're so smart, I'm so smart, I can't believe I can't think of a way to win!" The fifth prince and Li Tian sat on each other's faces bitterly, Li Tian looked at him with his hands on his cheeks, and suddenly remembered Ye Twelve Niang. Cat flutter Chinese
