Chapter IV
"Originally, my father couldn't get out, who knew that Ye'er had to pull me to see you. said that someone buried Gu in the palace, and I thought something happened to you. The emperor coughed lightly, breaking the silence, but his gaze swept back and forth between Gan Shunhua and Chiba a few times.
"Sister, you are really, what can I do?" Gan Shunhua looked pitiful, knelt on the ground and said angrily: "My father is not in good health, and you let him come to see me, isn't it delaying my father's rest?"
That's a good thing to say. Cai Wei listened on the sidelines, and her impression of Gan Shunhua in her heart changed greatly. These words silently condemned the chilling father, and also unabashedly pointed out Chiba's intention to sow discord.
It's a pity that she doesn't understand how much His Majesty the Emperor dislikes Princess Chitaki and how eccentric she is.
"Chitaki." The emperor's face sank, and Gan Shunhua hurriedly lowered his head. An emperor's deterrent power did not come out angrily, and Gan Shunhua did not dare to come out. This feels like every time I faced the mother emperor in my previous life.
What a coward! Live again and be like that. Gan Shunhua scolded himself fiercely in his heart.
"Chitaki, Chiba is just worried about you too much......" The emperor felt that the Chitaki in front of him seemed to be different from the past. But it's still habitually biased in favor of Chiba.
Gan Shunhua is chest tightness, she has seen eccentricity, and her mother is counted as one. But such blatant partiality, this is the first time she has seen it.
"Yes." Although Gan Shunhua's heart was full of knots, he still looked deferential on his face.
"Then I'll go first, you can take care of your illness." The emperor didn't seem to want to stay for a moment, so he threw up his sleeves and left immediately, and Chiba and the palace maids and eunuchs had to follow quickly.
Gan Shunhua watched the emperor leave, stood for a while, and then returned to his room.
"Well done." Cai Wei sat on the Taishi chair, took a sip of tea, and praised Gan Shunhua.
Gan Shunhua experienced the scene just now, and was connected with all kinds of injustices he suffered in his previous life, and the whole person was completely in a state of rage, and there was no longer the previous submissiveness to Cai Wei.
"Cai Wei, let's not talk about your identity, even if it is a superficial identity, I am also your master, you are sitting in my place now and talking to me like this, not afraid - does the wall have ears?" Gan Shunhua sneered, just wanting to vent the resentment she had just accumulated, and Cai Wei was this substitute for the dead.
Cai Wei's domineering expression seemed to coincide with Gan Xinyi, who poisoned her in her previous life, and without thinking about it, she rushed forward with an arrow step, gave Cai Wei a slap, and pulled her off the Taishi chair.
When these things happened, Gan Shunhua came to his senses, and his face turned half white.
The previous life hit her hard, she really hated it, she hated it so much that she dreamed of cutting those people with a thousand knives, but she was clear about priorities, and she wanted to live well more than revenge. And inadvertently angering Cai Wei is obviously not conducive to the realization of this goal.
Not to mention...... If it weren't for her just now, she wouldn't have been able to pass that level at all, and she would have been caught by Chiba and didn't know where it was, let alone sit well in the Autumn Palace.
"Yes, yes, it's good......" Cai Wei had a smile on the corner of her mouth, with the fresh palm print, it looked very weird, and these words of praise spit out of her mouth, which made Gan Shunhua even more afraid.
"From today on, you are Princess Chitaki, remember your identity." Cai Wei got up from the ground, pressed Gan Shunhua on the Taishi chair, and stepped aside to remind: "I don't care about your previous identity, you just remember your current identity." β
Gan Shunhua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and changed the topic: "What about Chiba?"
She thought that Chiba should not give up, and wanted to discuss countermeasures with Cai Wei.
"Hmm! It seems that it was planned in advance. Cai Wei whispered to herself, and then said loudly: "You also saw how the emperor treated Princess Chitaki today, even if Chiba didn't catch you, if she wanted to do anything to harm you, the emperor wouldn't care!" β
"I know."
"For today's plan, the only way is to let the third prince come back first." Cai Wei suddenly raised her head with a solemn expression: "The princess has had a deep relationship with the prince since she was a child, and at this critical juncture, it is safer to let him come back." β
After Cai Wei said this, she didn't care about Gan Shunhua, and went to the study by herself to prepare for repairing the book. Gan Shunhua hurriedly followed.
She is not a Qianlong, so naturally she can't write exactly the same words, so when she is bored, she rolls up her sleeves and grinds ink for Cai Wei. Looking at Cai Wei's focused appearance, Gan Shunhua suddenly felt that this guy was not bad except for looking down on people and having a bad temper. Especially saved myself...... When Gan Shunhua thought of this, he regretted very much that he had just beaten Caiwei.
"Send this letter to Aunt Li, she will think of it for the prince." Cai Wei interrupted Gan Shunhua's cycle of guilt and handed her the envelope.
"Is that safe?" Gan Shunhua asked uneasily, she had seen a lot of this kind of interception in her previous life, and she had done it herself.
Cai Wei groaned slightly, maybe she also felt that it was inappropriate, she let Gan Shunhua stay in the house and went out alone. But after a while, he came back and told her: "I have something to go out of the palace now Distract some of my eyeliner, and if Aunt Li comes at dinner, you must hand over the letter to her personally." β
After speaking, he didn't forget to add: "If you can't even do this little thing and kill yourself, then you can only blame us for our bad luck." β
"It's really long-winded, you can go quickly!" Gan Shunhua patted his chest and smiled and pushed out this Cai Wei, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
"Princess......" After Cai Wei left, a palace maid said outside the door: "Aunt Li asked a maid to send some supplements first, one of which is a bowl of bird's nest porridge, Aunt Li said to let you drink it while it is hot......"
The palace maid pondered the words, as if she were some kind of man-eating tiger.
"Princess Ben knows, you go and reward the maid first, and then bring the porridge over," Gan Shunhua instructed the palace maid, and then sat in place thinking about how to explain the matter to Aunt Li.
After this contemplative effort, the bird's nest porridge was also served, Gan Shunhua took a bite, and felt that the taste was no different from the memory of it, and was immediately disappointed, but he still finished eating.
"When is Aunt Li coming?" Gan Shunhua asked the little palace maid.
"Forehead......" The little palace maid was a little confused, and asked suspiciously: "Aunt Li...... Do you want to come?"
"That's it, you can step back first." Gan Shunhua suddenly missed Cai Wei a little, and waved her hand to retreat.
The palace maid thought that she had said something wrong, which angered the princess, and she looked extremely uncomfortable when she left.
Gan Shunhua is very distressed now, first, she doesn't know the situation in this palace at all, there are a lot of eyeliner in Chiba in this palace, and there must be one around her and Aunt Li, but how many eyeliners there are and who they are. Gan Shunhua himself did not know.
There is no distinction between the enemy and our camp, so I only know that Cai Wei, the prince and Aunt Li are their own people. The purpose of sending the letter is not very clear, but Cai Wei ordered someone who can save her life.
Now I am like being in a fog, confused and moving forward. It seems that I have to find a chance to ask Cai Wei. Gan Shunhua made up his mind and began to deliver the letter.
The most dangerous is the safest. I had to give the letter to Aunt Li in front of everyone, but I also had to cover it up and have an important name. Gan Shunhua's eyes rolled, and he had an idea in an instant.
Things were going well, and when it was close to evening, Aunt Li really came.
I met Aunt Li in the front hall, the maid and the grandmother were there, and Aunt Li also brought a few maids, and the one on her left seemed to be her personal maid, who looked delicate, but there was a pair of sharp Danfeng eyes on the goose egg face, staring at my and Aunt Li's every move.
"See the princess." Aunt Li saluted slowly.
"Auntie, get up." I raised my chin and asked the maid on the side to put a futon for her: "Aunt Li, please take a seat." β
Aunt Li immediately sat down on the futon and said with a smile: "The princess is separated from the old slave." β
"There's no such thing." Gan Shunhua blurted out.
"You used to call me Xiao Li." Aunt Li muttered to herself. But this "whisper" was still heard by Gan Shunhua, thinking that Aunt Li had also mentioned this matter when she woke up last time, Gan Shunhua's heart trembled.
Aunt Li's voice was not big, it was not small, Gan Shunhua didn't find a better explanation for this problem for a while, so she pretended not to hear it.
"Caisang, go and bring me that dress." Gan Shunhua rubbed his head lightly, and when he came to him with the dress in Gan Shunhua's mouth, Gan Shunhua had not yet spoken, and Aunt Li was already looking at it with sharp eyes, and she didn't even care about the number of courtesies, so she rushed to Gan Shunhua and snatched the dress.
It's just an ordinary light blue brocade coat, embroidered with a golden phoenix, although it is embroidered with hundreds of different threads with the famous gold beads and twelve methods, but for Gan Shunhua, a person who was obsessed with female workers in his previous life, this golden phoenix is definitely not a famous artist in the embroidery industry from the details, and the lame position is obviously a novice's showmanship.
"Princessβthisβ" Aunt Li asked as she looked at Gan Shunhua with a reproachful look and pointed to the jagged notches in her clothes.
"A few days ago, the sun was just right, and I was going to take out a few clothes in the box to dry, but I didn't expect the clothes to be eaten by insects in the box." Gan Shunhua heard Caiwei mention that there is a box dedicated to the old things of Princess Chitaki's mother. And this coat must also be Chitaki's mother's clothes.
"This princess is very distressed, but unfortunately this princess is not good at being a good woman, so she can't do anything about it. And you are a skillful hand in this palace, presumably this repair will not be difficult for you. Gan Shunhua covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a clever smile.
"Slave maid-" Aunt Li was a little stunned, it seemed to be incredulous, she didn't dare to look at Gan Shunhua, she just clenched her fists, pinched the coat, suddenly raised her head and looked around, and stayed on the face of the maid and grandmother in the hall for a while, before she lowered her head, kowtowed to Gan Shunhua, and responded: "Obey the will of His Highness." β
"Get up. Thank you very much. Gan Shunhua doesn't plan to call "aunt" or "Xiao Li" today. As weird as it may be.
"Then the slave and maid will retire first." Aunt Li said goodbye and withdrew from the hall.
