Volume 1 Floating Life Chapter 45 Fengyue (1)
After she left, Jing Tan and Ah Heng paced back one after the other.
"Ah Heng, you said that my big sister, how could she suddenly give me this good thing."
Ah Heng thought for a moment, and then said: "Could it be that I think back to the love between sisters over the years, and suddenly want to make up for it?" β
Jing Tan rolled his eyes and said, "Look at your tone, you don't even believe in this statement." β
Speaking of which, when did the two sisters, Lan Qing and Yabai, tear their faces with her, she tried to recall that the time actually went back to ten years ago.
I heard Aunt Hongyu say that when she was born, Yabai often held her in her arms and teased, because she was so young, she couldn't remember that memory clearly. Later, when they grew up to six years old, the two sisters were fourteen and ten.
That year, when Li Changdi died, Chen Niangzi cried and fainted in Zhaorong Pavilion all day long, and then was rescued, and then cried and fainted again, and so on, and the emperor saw her depressed appearance, and no longer went to Zhaorong Pavilion. Later, one day as if I figured it out, I stepped out of Zhaorong Pavilion, and the gods sent ghosts to go to the three princesses who usually practiced martial arts, and when they took advantage of the master to change their clothes, they played hide and seek, Jingtan is often the one who catches, there are many rockeries in Long Live Mountain, which is easy to hide, and she ran on her short legs for a long time before she found Yabai.
"Second sister, my feet hurt~" She was so tired that she lay down under the porch to rest, and the sugar lotus seeds in Yabai's hand hinted that she accompanied herself to find someone.
Yabai chuckled twice, and said while eating sugar lotus seeds: "I hid over there for a long time and you didn't find me, I was uncomfortable in the scorching sun, how could I still walk~"
As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of sugar lotus seeds in his arms and gave them to her, and said: "The queen mother doesn't allow me to eat sugar lotus seeds, this is still one of my few treasures, I'll give you this to eat, you go find someone yourself!" β
She grabbed one and put it in her mouth, "Then why don't you remind me of the second sister, where is the eldest sister hiding?" β
"I don't know about this, I won't get out of this mountain after all, you can find it yourself slowly!" So saying, he reclined on the edge of the porch and fell asleep, ignoring her.
Seeing this, Jing Tan had no choice but to walk on her little short legs to find someone, and finally the emperor lived up to her little short legs, and before she finished chewing the last sugar lotus seed, she heard Lan Qing's voice on the top of the mountain.
"Impossible! You crazy woman is lying to me! The sound was almost roaring, and if it weren't for the fact that there was no one at the top of the mountain, it might have attracted a group of guards.
It just so happened that as soon as Jing Tan heard this, she retracted the idea of moving forward in fright, and shrank behind the rocks, the big sister in her memory has always been gentle and submissive, how could there be such a rude voice....
"What do I have to deceive you, you don't want to think about why your black-hearted father loves that silly third princess, obviously you are excellent in everything, your sister is smart and cute, why didn't your father even look at you?" Jing Tan was a little familiar with this voice, and she couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"The queen mother said that it was my father who thought we were not good enough, and we were not a decent princess, so that's whyβ" At the end of the sentence, her voice weakened significantly.
"Your mother just can't bear to be sad! Don't you look at the third princess, she's decent? She is not as good as you in anything, she is not pampered by the emperor, his heart is biased to nine miles, and you still deceive yourself and say that it is because you are not good enough? β
"I....Iβ" She seemed to be frightened, and "I" didn't say a reason for a long time.
"To the point of difference, do you want any other reason than the reason I just said? If you don't believe me, when it's time to ask for a night feast, see for yourself! β
Some of those words she didn't really hear, she heard her in a fog, she chewed those words repeatedly, the woman said that she was silly and stupid, and said that her father's heart was biased to nine miles, and what kind of banquet... Is there anything to eat at the banquet?
"How long have you been here?"
Jing Tan looked up again, only to see Lan Qing looking down at her, her eyes not as soft as before.
She was stunned. replied dumbly: "I just came to you, who is the big sister talking to?" β
"No one, let's go...."
Suddenly walked in front of her, and didn't pay attention to her all day, Yabai was also confused, thinking that Jing Tan had made her angry, and went to ask Lan Qing, Lan Qing didn't say a word, Jing Tan had to secretly poke and poke to ask Lan Qing's close servant Ji Yue.
"Did the third princess just make the eldest princess wait too long, so the eldest princess annoyed you?" Ji Yue crouched down and answered her.
Ji Yueqi is a little whiter than Ah Heng, whether it is the master or the inferior palace people, they are all smiling and opposite, warm as the spring breeze in March, but they are a little shy. Jing Tan guessed that it might be because of his mistakes in the past, he used to serve in the Cuiwen Palace, and then accidentally knocked over his father's ink, and was punished by his father to the criminal division for a few days, and then let him serve the eldest sister, and gave the palace people who made mistakes to a princess, and often people laughed at the eldest sister with this, Jing Tan didn't understand at the time, and later learned that his father was slapping the queen's face.
"Is that really the case...."She muttered suspiciously, suddenly remembered the words she heard on the mountain, and asked: "By the way, I just seem to have heard someone talking to the eldest sister on the top of the mountain, saying that my father is partial to me, but the eldest sister is annoyed with me because of this?" β
Ji Yue was obviously shocked, and then returned to normal, comforting: "It's nothing, don't think too much about it, the third princess has been a little uncomfortable since this morning, and there are people who are in a bad mood today, and it will be fine in two days." β
Seeing him say this, Jing Tan didn't think much about it, after all, Ji Yue is the person who knows the big sister best, and Ji Yue said that if there is no, it must be gone.
In the evening, when he returned to Chenghuan Hall to say goodbye, the emperor was talking to his mother, Jing Tan first saw the salute, then knelt on the emperor's knees, and said what he heard today, not noticing that the smile on the faces of the emperor and Mei Guifei gradually receded.
She scratched her head and asked puzzledly: "Although I am young, I have a separate palace to live in, how old are my two sisters and I are, but there is no separate palace, is this partiality of my father?" β
Hearing these words, Concubine Mei could still sit still, and before the emperor could speak, she hurriedly interrupted what she was about to say: "Where do you listen to nonsense and don't say or listen, do you remember, is this what a princess should do?" β
Jing Tan looked aggrieved: "Mother concubine...."
Seeing that the emperor's face was getting worse and worse, Concubine Mei hurriedly knelt on the ground and said nervously: "Your Majesty, the child is not sensible, Your Majesty should not worry about her..."
The emperor took a sip of tea, his face finally recovered, and he said, "It's not Tan'er's fault. With that, he touched Jingtan's head and went out.
Jing Tan looked at Mei Guifei with a blank face and asked, "Mother, did I say something wrong just now?" β
She looked at the door and sighed, and said to her, "This is not good, don't remember this kind of thing when you hear it in the future, and don't take it out and tell anyone." β
Jing Tan was puzzled: "But why?" β
"Don't ask, you remember what I said." As she spoke, she coughed again, Jing Tan hurriedly went to give her a good breath, and swallowed back the words of rebuttal when she reached her mouth.
After the anger came over, he said solemnly: "And remember, no matter what, don't argue with your two sisters, and let your two sisters do everything, but remember what I said before?" β
"I remember, the mother concubine said that the mother concubine did something when she was young, and she couldn't live with the queen mother, so she couldn't hurt the queen mother, and she couldn't hurt the two sisters." Jing Tan lowered her head a little aggrieved, and she was puzzled in her heart, but she couldn't get an answer.
Seeing this, Concubine Mei hugged her into her arms and sobbed slightly.
That night, the emperor went to Zhaorong Pavilion, as soon as he stepped into the door, Mrs. Chen greeted her with a smile, who knew that the emperor raised his hand was a loud slap, how would the palace people expect this meeting, shocked, a person with strong eyes immediately signaled everyone to go out, and closed the door with interest.
Chen Niangzi seemed to have expected this for a long time, covered her face and smiled twice: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Is this because she was angry with the queen and took her concubines to vent her anger? β
The emperor stared at her coldly: "You yourself know why I beat you!" Have you ever been to Banzai Mountain today? β
"It turns out that Your Majesty is angry about this, the concubine has been there, and the concubine just told what she knows, so Your Majesty will also be afraid that others will know these things." She laughed twice, her face a little hideous.
The emperor was enraged by her and reached out to grab her neck, "Are you crazy? β
She struggled and said, "Your Majesty is afraid of what....daughter is older....she should also know what her father is biased for to this extent...."
"Have you forgotten that you have a son? Tearing your face with me won't do you any good! β
"Really...," her voice grew faint.
Seeing this, the emperor snorted coldly and let go of her, her feet softened, and she fell to the ground and coughed heavily, her cheeks crimson.
The emperor turned his back and didn't look at her, and said coldly: "I know that you have lost your own daughter, and you are still worried about Chang Di's inability to go to the genealogy, but Chang Di has that strange disease, obviously she is a woman, but she gave birth to the characteristics of a man, the Li family's ancestral system, she can't go to the genealogy..."
The emperor collected his emotions, sighed and said, "But you can't say some crazy words and filthy wordsβ"
Before he finished speaking, there was a stinging pain in his back, and he turned around and reflexively kicked her forward, Gao Cheng outside the door heard the movement, and hurriedly pushed the door in, only to see Chen Niangzi sitting on the ground, still holding a short knife with blood in her hand, he immediately understood.
"Bold! Dare to assassinate the emperor! β
Hearing this, a few more attendants rushed in and immediately held her.
Gao Cheng was busy checking the emperor's wounds, and there was a big hole on his back! Nervously shouted outward: "Pass on the Imperial Doctor!" Tell the Imperial Doctor! β
Mrs. Chen was framed, but she laughed loudly, her face hideous.
