Chapter 13: Storytelling

Chapter 13 tells the story

Shi Qi suddenly knelt down and jumped off He Chang'an. Hurriedly stretched out his hand and took Shi Qi's hand: "Cousin Qi, don't be like this, anything can be said well, I am a cousin, Cousin Qi kneels down for me like this, if someone with a heart spreads it, what will it be?"

As soon as Shi Qi heard what He Changan said was so serious, she quickly stood up, but she still held He Changan's hand and didn't let go: "Cousin, although I am a little older than you in age, but after all, I have lived in Jiangyin since I was born, and I have never seen any big world, and I am not as good as my cousin, and my cousin must save my cousin's life." ”

He Changan quietly brushed away Shi Qi's hand: "Cousin, tell me, why don't you want to be drafted?"

Shi Qi stubbornly shook his head: "Cousin, do you know what the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion is like now?"

He Changan really didn't know this, shook his head, and just waited for Shi Qi to continue.

"My grandfather, the Marquis of Jiangyin, was the overlord of Jiangyin in his early years, and later took refuge in the imperial court, because he did well in Jiangyin, he had the title of marquis. But after all, he is a marquis who has been released, where can he get in touch with the core forces in Beijing? Except for the annual Yulu, which is almost forgotten by the imperial court. ”

What Shi Qi said, He Changan knew it in his heart. In the previous life, she gathered forces from all sides for Lu Yuan, but she never cared about this Jiangyin Marquis. For Lu Yuan, a prince whose own strength is not very strong, he doesn't take the Marquis of Jiangyin in his eyes, let alone the emperor and the court.

"Although my father is not my grandfather's eldest son, but I am my grandfather's first granddaughter, if the Marquis of Jiangyin wants to regain the emperor's attention, my grandfather feels that there must be a mother or a princess, but my grandfather and father they think too simply, which can be a mother? Not to mention anything else, I think so many people in history can only sit idle and talk about Xuanzong, if I can't be favored when I enter the palace, won't I fail my own life in vain?"

Shi Qi twisted the handkerchief, and saw that Chang An didn't speak for a long time, so he said again: "What's more, cousin, don't you want to marry someone else as a wife, and you will be a couple for the rest of your life?"

A lifetime of a couple......

Chang'an was stunned when she heard this, in the last life, she willingly gave everything she had to Lu Yuan, but she herself knew that her identity would never match Lu Yuan, so she never had a delusional position as a wife, but Lu Yuan let her die, and this matter hurt her a lot.

After being reborn, what she faced was the current mess of the He family, He Changan was still young, and she didn't have the heart to think about what kind of person she would marry in the future, but it was her cousin Shi Qi's words that woke her up.

Shi Qi just wants to be a couple for the rest of his life, the idea is not wrong, but it is difficult to achieve.

If Shi Qi insists on having such an idea, then during the draft, it is likely that someone will be caught and put on small shoes.

You must know that in her previous life, she also served in Yanqing Palace, and she witnessed how many show girls she had, just in order to compete for the top position, all kinds of subordinate means were used.

Compared with those who have been exposed to the deep mansion compound in Beijing for many years, and for those show girls who are well versed in selfish methods, people like Shi Qi may not really be their opponents.

If someone fabricates something, it is possible to say that the Marquis of Jiangyin resents the imperial court and sends a person who is not right-hearted at all to participate in the draft.

The best state is to let her naturally show her best side, but she is not eye-catching in the draft crowd, that is the best!

Suddenly, a thought arose in my heart: "Cousin Qi, have you heard the story of the concubine of the Li family of the Chengwu Marquis during the draft?"

Shi Qi shook her head blankly, she didn't even know who Chengwuhou was!

What's more, a concubine of the Marquis of Chengwu?

Chang'an saw that she didn't know, so he put his heart down: "Cousin Qi, this matter, I also heard the elders talk about it by chance, even if Cousin Qi has heard it, even if I have heard it, don't say it to my aunt or my mother, otherwise I am still young now, and if I say such a thing, I will definitely be punished by my mother." ”

Driven by curiosity, Shi Qi naturally nodded busily: "That's it, am I such a mouthless person?" ”

"Hmm. Chang'an nodded and continued to speak: "During the draft three years ago, the eldest daughter of the Li family of Chengwu Hou was also in the draft, and I heard that the girl seemed to be called Li Xuan. This Chengwu Hou was originally the queen mother's family, because he respected the queen mother today, so he also had a lot of care for the Chengwu Hou family. It's just this, Li Xuan is a little bit unaware of the sky, there have been rumors early on that she is not the palace concubine and the princess will not do it, this tone is really too big, so some people are secretly worried about it, and they want to use some small means to push her on the prince, so that she and the prince can do something indecent. ”

"And what happened later?" Shi Qi's eyes lit up as she listened.

Chang'an couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the girls' families really like to listen to gossip......

Later, someone told this girl of the Li family, saying that it was what kind of girl the prince liked, and when it would appear in the garden, so the girl of the Li family pretended to accidentally lose the hairpin ring in the imperial garden to look for it, and met the prince by chance, and then whether it was what happened or not, they all insisted that the prince was inferior to her, and the emperor would definitely refer to her as the princess for the sake of the prince's reputation. ”

Shi Qi secretly stomped his feet when he heard this: "Who is this person who secretly instigates the girl of the Li family, he definitely doesn't want the prince to ...... Oh no, the second prince, he must be someone who doesn't want the second prince to be good, if the girl of the Li family really believes this person, then this girl of the Li family is a big fool!"

From that time to the present, the most common way he used to deal with Lu Cheng was always women, from Li Xuan at that time, and then to himself later.

Chang'an pulled Shi Qi's hand, and the look on his face was unpredictable: "Cousin Qi, don't worry, listen to me finish the story first." This girl from the Li family is really a fool, because according to her family, if she wants to be the crown princess, there are still many people who can match her in the same draft, she is not sure in her heart, and she thinks that what the person said is a feasible way, so she simply did it. ”

Shi Qi opened her mouth widely: "Ah...... There are such stupid girls. ”

Chang'an suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, Cousin Qi, I suddenly remembered one thing, I have a way to help you escape the draft, escape the fate of entering the palace as a concubine, and the three thousand beauties will not see the eye of the sky." ”

Originally, Chang'an was holding Shi Qi's hand, but now Shi Qi squeezed Chang'an's hand tighter, as if Chang'an was her only life-saving straw: "Cousin Chang, what's the solution, you say it quickly, you say it quickly......"

There was a little crying in her voice, she was so anxious that she couldn't do it, it seemed that Shi Qi really didn't want to enter the palace as a concubine!

Chang'an lowered his face: "Cousin, what is the difference between you now and the girl of the Li family three years ago?"

Shi Qi didn't understand a word, and listened to Chang'an continue: "The girl of the Li family three years ago, before the draft, her mind was full of thoughts about being the crown princess, and now Cousin Qi's mind is full of thoughts about how to not participate in the draft and not enter the palace today's concubine." When people are thinking about something in their hearts, they are all confused, and they are the easiest to be taken advantage of. Just like I said just now, I have a way to let my cousin escape this fate, doesn't my cousin really believe it? My cousin doesn't think about it, Chang'an is only twelve years old, even if Chang'an is a girl who grew up in the capital, how can I have room to speak in such a big matter related to the royal family. ”

The hope on Shi Qi's face was also transformed into disappointment: "Co-authoring my cousin is the one who is teasing me." ”

Chang An shook his head: "Cousin, I'll continue to tell you about the girl from the Li family." ”

Shi Qi nodded, but he really lost his enthusiasm for this gossip just now, and his expression was sad: "Say it." ”

But the eyes are looking out of the window, consciously or unconsciously, as if they are thinking about something.

Chang'an knew that Shi Qi would have such a reaction, and she didn't care too much, anyway, her purpose was just to hope that Shi Qi wouldn't make a mistake in the draft, as for whether she appreciated it or not, Chang'an was a human being, and she really didn't care too much about this: "Later, the girl of the Li family really did what the man said, and planned it carefully, and really saw the second prince who was still the prince at the time in the imperial garden, and when she just approached, she pretended to twist her ankle and was about to pounce on the second prince, but the second prince avoided it." Immediately, someone around pretended not to know what was going on and rushed up, and the girl of the Li family kept saying that she wanted the prince to be light, and she also pulled her sleeves. This matter was all caused by the saint's side, but when it came to the saint's side, the second prince defended himself. ”

Shi Qi asked with a match: "The matter of the girl of the light family, the second prince still has a defense?"

Chang'an looked at his palm, and carefully recalled the scene she witnessed with her own eyes, at that time, Lu Cheng stretched out his hands and said: "Father, the son just went to the queen mother with the best rouge that he had worked so hard to find, and he originally wanted to show his filial piety, but who knew that the son was too careless, and he actually beat the porcelain rouge box in front of the queen mother, and the rouge was also all over his hands." If the son really lightened the Li family, then the Li family's clothes would definitely have the rouge marks left on the son's hands. So whether the son is light or not, you will know at a glance Father. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the emperor and showed his rouge-stained palm.

Shi Qi finally came back to her senses: "This Miss Li is really unlucky." ”

Chang'an clapped his palms and said with a sigh: "That's right, if the girl of the Li family honestly participates in the draft, she may not be able to choose the crown princess, but she refuses to live in peace, so she has to think about other ways." It's good now, the girl of the Li family was put off the brand, and this matter also caused a storm in the city, all said that the girl of the Li family was a shameless person, and it was rumored that she had a disease and died violently every few days, but everyone understands in their hearts that this is just that the Chengwu Hou family endured the pain of this daughter's life in order to keep the reputation of the daughters in the future!"

"The Emperor's family is really cruel. Shi Qi sighed with palpitations.

Chang'an looked solemn: "Cousin, you listen to my advice, even if you don't want to enter the palace as a concubine, don't show it, if you let anyone catch and use it, you will look back like the girl of the Li family, and you don't know how to die." Besides, my cousin is not the best among these show girls, who said that she will definitely be selected?"

Shi Qi was indeed frightened by Chang'an's fear, and stroked his chest and said: "Cousin, what you said is that even if I don't want to be drafted, I can't show it, the matter of the Li family's girl is really too scary." I can't think of a draft, and there are so many twists and turns. ”

Chang'an's hanging heart finally let go of a little: "Then you will face the draft with a smile, even if the eldest aunt invites you to the draft, you will not show your face, if the eldest aunt can't see that you don't want to draft the idea, who else can see it?"

Shi Qi nodded: "Well, that's what I said." ”

immediately showed a smile, Chang'an also smiled when he saw it, this cousin Shi Qi, it is better to smile and look better!
