Chapter 051: Envy or Resentment
Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing appeared together for the first time to greet Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing smiled and praised repeatedly, and several pieces of close-fitting jewelry were rewarded, which made Bai Qige feel very guilty.
The former favorite concubine who has experienced ups and downs is not greedy for glory and grace, and her only wish is to hug her grandson as soon as possible. Seeing that the relationship between the two has changed from the initial estrangement and coldness to the current harmony and peace, the happiest person in the entire Qichen Xuan is Concubine Jing.
Su Yan is graceful and generous, although he also regrets that he is not loved, but he sincerely cares for Bai Qige everywhere, and Su Rao, who has the same father and mother, is diametrically opposed, seeing that Concubine Jing loves Bai Qige more than herself, even Yi Chenjing's eyes when she looks at Bai Qige are unprecedentedly gentle, and her disgust is increasing day by day.
Su Rao lied that she was unwell and left Concubine Jing's bedroom first, and everyone's attention was focused on Bai Qige and didn't care too much, which made the young Seventh Prince Concubine even more resentful. Passing by Huixi Residence, he happened to see the clothes that Bai Qige often wore drying in the courtyard, and he was furious for a while, picked up the stones at his feet and threw them over, leaving a dirty trace.
"Good jealousy is the sin of the seven, as a concubine, not only secretly resents the princess, but also disrespects it in private, if it is found by the seventh prince, I don't know what it will be like."
Ciya's voice was soft and charming, but the tone was chilling and ruthless, Su Rao was frightened by the sudden male voice, her feet slipped, and she fell to the ground with a bang.
Gold silk embroidered edges, delicate handicraft, gorgeous and extravagant corners appear in sight. Su Rao endured the pain in her ankle and raised her head, facing the sun, and was instantly stunned by the exquisitely carved and beautiful face like a picture scroll of the gods. The soft contours are clear, the two long eyebrows are slender, the eyelashes are slightly curled, the slanting phoenix eyes are shining, and the thin lip flaps evoke a bewildering arc.
The most addictive and amazing thing is the eyes, which are clear, pure, and mild blue without impurities.
"Who are you? I've never seen you in the Dust Pavilion. Curiosity overcame fear, Su Rao stood up against the wall, the man with one hand behind his back, without the slightest intention of helping.
Su Rao is young, and Concubine Jing is worried that she doesn't understand the world and indiscriminately opens sinners, but she is rarely allowed to go to banquets attended by female dependents, so many people in the palace don't know her. The man in front of her was so beautiful that she forgot her jealousy and only sighed, and her wariness of suspicious people was also reduced by half, and she was actually interrogated without fear.
"You don't have to know who I am, see you sooner or later." The man was still lukewarm, but the words he said made Su Rao instantly shocked, "I only ask if you want to be the princess, if you want to make Bai Qige disappear, if you want, I can help you." ”
Just after standing firm and almost falling again, Su Rao swallowed her saliva and turned blue: "Who are you?" I just accidentally soiled the princess's clothes just now, and I didn't mean to-"
"Do you know it in your heart?" Impatiently interrupted the defense, the man's temper was obviously not as good as his face.
Su Rao took a deep breath, looked around in fear, and lowered her voice as much as possible so that the other party could hear: "How can you help me?" ”
The world is sinister, and the deep palace is even worse, this truth is not that Su Rao does not understand, but she really wants to make Bai Qige disappear too much, with Bai Qige, she can't get everything she wants. It seems that she and Su Yan are both deeply loved by Concubine Jing, and Yi Chenjing treats the two of them well, but the young concubine knows better than anyone that her sister Su Yan is too cowardly and not worth looking forward to at all, and what she wants can only be fought for by herself.
No matter who the stunning man in front of him is, one thing is certain, he wants Bai Qige to disappear for the same purpose as himself, and that's enough.
"Don't be afraid, what you need to do is simple, just a few words. Take it, what you want to do is written on it - once Bai Qige disappears, the position of the princess must belong to the two of you, you can think carefully about it or not. If you have anything to ask, go to the back garden and put the river lantern, and I will come back to you if necessary. ”
Holding the letterhead handed over by the man, Su Rao was slightly stunned, and when she looked up again, she couldn't find the tall figure, and the mysterious and beautiful man disappeared like air.
Yi Chenjing ordered someone to clean up a spare room for Mrs. Qi, right next to Huixi Residence, Bai Qige still felt tired and sleepy, and went back to rest after asking Concubine Jing to say goodbye, and did not show up until noon, in order to discuss how to deal with Mrs. Qi as soon as possible, Yi Chenjing had no choice but to go in person.
The door of the room was closed, and there were three knocks, but the person who opened the door was Yuche.
"She's still sleeping?" Yi Chenjing was a little surprised.
"Probably too tired, Miss has always been very tired in the past two days, and she has been sleeping since she came back this morning." Yu Che didn't dare to let go of the volume in a soft voice, the look of worry on his face was amazing, and there seemed to be a few complaints, "Your Highness too, Miss is not in good health, you don't know, you were tired from taking care of Mrs. Qi yesterday, and you are still ......"
Yi Chenjing didn't understand what Yu Che said at all, only saw that the little girl's face was red, and the thief glanced at the house.
"What's wrong with me? It's just to talk to her about something......" Halfway through the words, Yi Chenjing reacted suddenly, and dropped his finger and tapped on the top of Yu Che's head, "Yu Che, don't say these words again in the future, she doesn't like to hear them." ”
"How does Your Highness know that Miss doesn't like it? Miss thinks about everything for you, and her tone is a little colder, but isn't everything that Miss does for you, Your Highness? If it was because I wouldn't be bullied, I still worked so hard, and I felt distressed when I looked scarred all over my body, so His Royal Highness's heart was made of stone, and I didn't have any pity. ”
Unexpectedly, a personal maid was so sharp and sharp-toothed that Yi Chenjing was reprimanded so powerless that she almost ran away.
"It's not enough to say enough to chant for Concubine Jing, what kind of tongue is chewing behind your back?" There was a sound in the room, and Bai Qige's slightly annoyed voice sounded low.
Although the words are ugly, they are more or less out of the siege. Yi Chenjing hurriedly pushed open the door and hid in the room, and closed Yu Che, who was not convinced and wanted to say more, outside the door, with a miserable face: "It's more powerful than your mouth, blue out of blue." ”
Bai Qige didn't bother to pay attention to him, he was most uncomfortable when he was tired and half-relieved, and he didn't want to say more than half a word.
Sitting carelessly on the edge of the bed, Yi Chenjing stretched out his hand and put it on his smooth forehead, and after a while, he shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not a fever." Is the wound on your shoulder getting better? ”
Turning over and facing the bed, Bai Qige still didn't speak, closed his eyes and listened to Yi Chenjing talking to himself beside him, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly. Putting aside the real purpose of burying it, to be fair, Yi Chenjing, who took off his disguise, can be regarded as a gentle man, whether it is for her or Su Yan, he will never get angry for no reason and beat and scold at every turn, although she knows what the reason why Yi Chenjing has always refused to touch Su Yan Surao - Bai Qige heard the words he said when he pretended to be asleep.
For a lonely widow for life, unswerving.
I have to admit that Yi Chenjing's loyalty to her feelings moved Bai Qige, because she loved Hongxuan too much, so she longed for her to die, this complicated mood can be understood even if she doesn't understand, and it is this that makes her more and more unable to hate him. No one is wrong, it's fate that is wrong, turning two people who could have talked happily into enemies who can't meet at both ends of the love-hate entanglement.
"Let's go see Li'er together if we have time, Zhan Ting doesn't say it, but I'm still very worried about it." Tummed the corners of the quilt casually, Yi Chenjing said, "I won't coax people, last time you went to see Li'er I was happier than usual, if you can, I hope you can go with me to see her in the future." ”
Li'er's topic finally caused Bai Qige to open her eyes and look sideways at Yi Chenjing slightly: "Can't you take her out?" That kind of place shouldn't be too strict, and it won't be okay for Li'er and Zhan Ting to meet each other? ”
"Nope." Yi Chenjing replied categorically, "I said that the Zhan Ting is the orphan of the old minister, and the reason why he was forced to separate from Li'er was because the Zhan family was implicated and regarded as a rebel courtier. The father wanted to kill them, but it was Li'er who knelt in the heavy rain for four days and four nights to impress the queen to avoid the death penalty. At that time, she was only eleven years old, and the war court had been hiding behind her back for eight years, and for Li'er, her brother was everything, and she would rather be tortured to the point of not being human than to protect the war court......"
Recalling the scenes of the brothers and sisters of the Zhan family relying on each other for life and death, the old scene is still in front of me. Yi Chenjing let out a long breath, and his gaze softened.
"The felony of the Nine Clans, if it weren't for Uncle Zhan's subordinates desperately saving him, I'm afraid that their brother and sister would have died more than ten years ago. When I returned to Zhaoguo and learned everything, the war court that had just been captured was covered with scars and his life hung by a thread, no matter how I pleaded with my father, it was Li'er who knelt down in the rain and begged that the queen couldn't bear to take her to meet her father. And after that...... Later, Li'er was poisoned with her legs broken and voluntarily imprisoned in the palace as a condition for blackmailing the war court. Until now, I didn't dare to tell the truth to the war court, so I could only lie to him and say that my father had taken a fancy to Li'er and wanted to accept her as a concubine, so I couldn't see each other, but because Li'er was sick and still young, I would put it off for the time being, and wait for her to get better before the canonization. I don't know how long this lie can last, Li'er grows up day by day, sooner or later the court will be suspicious, I don't ask him for forgiveness, I just hope that then I can have the power to return their freedom and reunite their brother and sister. ”
Such a secret thing was actually told according to the truth, and it stands to reason that Bai Qige shouldn't believe what Yi Chenjing said, but she chose to believe it, believing in the gentle gaze in his eyes when she saw Li'er that day, believing in the general pity of his biological brother, and believing that he is not a cruel and cold-blooded bad person.
Standing up, Bai Qige said in a calm tone: "I'll go see Li'er with you." But you have to tell me first, where did your apology to the court come from, it wasn't just as simple as lying to him, right? ”
"I can't escape your eyes." Yi Chenjing smiled bitterly, his expression could not hide the hardship, "The Zhan family was convicted because he helped my uncle back then, just like my mother was sent to the cold palace because of this incident, and my father punished everyone involved in the rebellion very severely. ”
"That's all?"
Avoiding Bai Qige's sharp gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Yi Chenjing stood up and walked to the window, his fingers on the window lattice trembled slightly.
"You wouldn't have thought of it...... Li'er's leg was broken by my own hands. ”
