Chapter 5 Asking for but Not Wanting
The next day, Mama Lin and I left the palace.
I sat in the carriage and walked slowly on the official road, lifted the curtains, and looked at the people on both sides.
They laughed and laughed, and they were happy, changing the sadness and despair of four years ago.
I suddenly felt like I had made the right decision.
Even if I lose too much.
At that time, I felt very lonely, even though I was in the middle of the city now.
The coachman then led the carriage to his feet.
I decided to go down and take a walk.
"Mama Lin, come down and walk with me!"
"Yes."
I unconsciously walked to the front of the teahouse, and randomly found a place by the window, enjoying the snow scene while sipping tea.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of storytelling downstairs.
* Okay, today's story is told.
*Let's talk about the secret story between the eldest princess and the general Bai Yu.
My hands shook suddenly, and the tea in my cup spilled half.
* You dare to say this, be careful to lose your life.
* No, His Majesty is merciful today!
Mama asked worriedly, "Princess? ”
"I'm fine."
The gentleman downstairs talked eloquently about my first acquaintance with him.
*It is said that it was a spring March.
* The first acquaintance of the young and beautiful little princess and the little son.
I turned my head to look out the window and asked, "Mama, look, isn't this snow beautiful?" ”

March?
Actually, my first acquaintance with him was not in March.
It was the first month of the sixteenth year of my father's reign.
I was sixteen and he was seventeen.
We met on a night, under a palace wall, under a fireworks.
It was a light snowfall that day, just like now.
I still remember that I overheard the minister who entered the palace saying that today the common people would gather on the Tongxin Bridge to set off fireworks.
I have rarely left the palace since I was a child, and I have never seen people gathered.
So I decided to sneak out of the palace at night to see the pomp.
But I didn't expect that I would say goodbye to my father, and my mother was almost the time to be a son after the New Year.
I hurried to the outer palace wall, and asked people to prepare a ladder and plan to jump down to have a look.
But the moment I climbed the palace wall, fireworks burst into the sky.
I looked up and saw the beautiful scenery that I was going to enjoy out of the palace, but when I looked down, I met a "unique surprise" in this life.
I'm lying on the wall, I'm inside, he's outside.
I can't get out, he can't get in.
Because of this "unique accident", I met him.
They got acquainted with each other and exchanged names.
I only learned that he was the prime minister's son, Lin Jue.
My mother was handkerchief with his mother.
Since then, we have been exchanging letters.
He told me about the food outside the palace, the beautiful scenery.
I don't know what to say to him, because my life is so boring, I can only tell him about my daily life.
It wasn't until March of the same year that I begged my father for a long time and finally left the palace.
At the moment when I left the palace, I didn't expect my brother to follow.
In order to avoid trouble, I hid my early acquaintance with him.
The three of us ate past the stalls and walked through the downtown area.
I have enjoyed the flowers and tasted the tea.
Later, Ah Di fell asleep tired, and we had no choice but to be guests at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The lady is very gentle, and the prime minister is also very kind and elegant.
As we chatted, my wife pulled me to tell me about her past with my mother.
It was getting late, and I went back to the courtyard where I had stayed, and met him again.
I think we're very similar.
has its own desires but can't.
In the future, I want to be a free chivalrous woman, punishing evil and promoting good.
He wants to be an excellent gentleman, who can teach the poor and become an emperor.
We all have our own desires.
But we're all stuck.
Imprisoned in an invisible cage.
And our struggle only makes it tighter and tighter.
So you can only be forced to go in a fixed direction, even if the road is not very good.
