Chapter 1: Nightmares
"Jiajia, come here."
The man sitting on the bed was wearing a bright yellow straight court dress, with a gold silk hook and python belt of the same color tied around his waist, his body was long, and his handsome facial features could not see his expression clearly in the flickering candlelight.
Li Baojia bit her lower lip lightly and slowly walked in front of the man.
The man's big hand caressed her bitten and somewhat polished lips, rubbing it gently, obviously looking intimate, but she shrank back a little frightened.
He chuckled and seemed extremely pleasant: "Now you know that you are afraid? Why do you do this when you know I'm going to punish you? Well? ”
His last word dragged on a bit long, and he seemed to be quite interested in the next "punishment".
His hand rested on her waist, tightening little by little, as if the hunter had finally caught his favorite prey.
Li Baojia's hand was on his chest, and his eyelashes trembled slightly with his closed eyes: "I.... It's not ......"
The man's hand clamped her chin roughly, holding her head and slowly approaching her......
Ah———
Li Baojia opened her eyes suddenly, her white face was already covered with cold sweat, her body trembled slightly, and her face turned pale.
There was a creak, and the door opened.
A maid in a green cardigan dress walked in with a night lamp and lit the candle.
Helped Li Baojia up, and probed her forehead with his hand: "Miss has a nightmare again?" ”
Li Baojia seemed to be still immersed in the nightmare just now, panting slightly with his eyes closed.
The maid lovingly wiped her sweaty forehead with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Miss, Xiao Tao is here, you can sleep, I will accompany you by the side." ”
Li Baojia lay down as he said, closed his eyes but didn't feel sleepy.
It's been days since she's been reborn, and every night for those days, I've had nightmares about my past life.
Sometimes it's his posture of being high up and looking down on all beings, sometimes it's the way he drunkens and circles her and forcibly kisses her.
She is the youngest lady in the Taifu Mansion, and in her last life, she was given a marriage letter to the prince to be the crown princess.
The prince is not as gentle as jade as rumored by the outside world, humble and gentlemanly, even... It's even a little ridiculous. At first, she thought that the prince didn't like her, but she was favored almost every night, and everyone in the house said that she was very favored, and gradually she herself believed it.
It wasn't until later, by chance, that she knew that she was just a shield, and the transparent Concubine Su in the palace was his white moonlight.
What he did was just paving the way for Concubine Su.
About when he ascends the throne and no longer needs her as a shield, and can pamper Su Ruhui openly, her good days will come to an end.
As a result, before her good days came to an end, the night before she ascended the throne, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep, and she slipped and went down while feeding the fish by the river... This is probably one of the funniest ways to die in the last dynasty.
It is estimated that she is dead, and he is very happy, and before he can solve it, this trouble will be gone by himself.
It is ridiculous to say that this marriage decree was personally begged by her father, the crown prince and concubine, in front of the emperor.
What the prince himself thinks of this marriage, she doesn't know at all.
Her father needed her to strengthen the connection between the Li Mansion and the East Palace, and her mother wanted her mother to be the most noble woman in the world, thinking that in this way she could overwhelm Mrs. Qin, who was favored by her father.
But no one asked her, no one cared if she wanted to marry or not, whether she liked the prince or not.
Because they think that if she resists, she is shocking and rebellious, and she is in the midst of blessings and does not know blessings.
Now that I think about it, the prince should also be dissatisfied with such an imposed marriage.
Li Baojia was confused and cranky, and gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, she was woken up by Xiao Tao.
"Miss, don't sleep, get up quickly."
Li Baojia opened his eyes in a daze, and was pushed up by several maids, cleaning his hands and face.
Then he asked her to come to the dresser, and wanted to dress her up.
She finally sobered up a little, and asked a little ignorantly: "What's the matter, what's going on today, so anxious?" ”
Xiao Tao smiled: "Miss, you forgot, today is the day you go to the Prince's Mansion to deliver soup." It's not grand. ”
She remembered.
In the past, her mother always asked her to be close to the prince, and asked her to send him some angelica wolfberry soup every few days. Said she made it herself.
What soup doesn't have in the East Palace?
It's just an excuse to get close to the prince on the grounds of sending soup, so that he can accept her as soon as possible.
She always told her mother that the prince never let her in, but only handed it over to Huang Gonggong.
I don't know if he drank such a soup, he didn't see anyone, and he let others see the jokes, why bother?
But my mother is very persistent on this matter, believing that the prince will always be moved in the long run.
Li Baojia can't deny this, who is the prince?
He has been in this honorable position since he was born, his mother is Empress Deming, who is in charge of the Sixth Palace, his maternal grandfather's family is the prestigious Jing'an Houfu, and his father is the emperor of the dynasty.
As for himself, he was able to write at the age of six and martial arts at the age of nine.
At the age of fourteen, he participated in the Confucianism debate in a white body, and argued with a young man from all directions.
Now in the year of the weak crown, he is already a man who governs the country in a way, and it can be said that he is a brilliant figure.
The person who wants to please him is not like a carp crossing the river, how could he be moved by her because he sent two bowls of soup?
This is not to be laughed at.
Having made up her mind not to deliver the soup, Li Baojia stopped the maids' hurried movements: "No need, don't go today." ”
Xiao Tao was a little surprised: "But the soup in the kitchen has already been delivered, don't go at this time, Madame's ......"
Li Baojia said resolutely: "If I don't go, I won't go." ”
The maids all stopped, and Xiao Tao was really surprised.
The young lady is usually soft and glutinous, and she does not dare to disobey her wife's orders, and she has never seen such a tough time.
Li Baojia originally wanted to go to bed and sleep again, but now it is only three o'clock, and only the diligent Royal Highness the Crown Prince will get up so early.
Her eyes swept over the sewing basket next to the collapsed chair, which contained a few bright yellow rags, which were obviously also very lustrous.
She suddenly remembered that during this period, she seemed to have embroidered a mandarin duck double-buckle purse and gave it to the prince, but he just threw it aside at will, and was taken by his white moonlight Su Ruhui later.
Xiao Tao tilted her head and said, "Miss, what are you looking for?" ”
Li Baojia was a little anxious: "That, what about the purse inside?" ”
Xiao Tao breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be the one, scared the slave to death, I thought you were looking for something, you can rest assured, that one was sent to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago, and it may be hanging on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time." ”
Li Baojia is a little loveless.
In her previous life, she made this purse for the prince, and at that time she was sure that she would marry the prince.
Now she must not want to enter the wolf's den again, since she has decided not to marry the prince, how can the embroidered purse be in the prince's hands!
No, this thing must come back.
Li Baojia thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of any good way.
Or... Just go and ask for it, right?
With the prince's temperament, he may not remember who she is, and he won't care about that little purse if she wants to come back, right?
Besides, the prince's external image has always been gentle and polite, except for her in his previous life, few people seem to know his true face, and if he wants to maintain this image, it is expected that he will not embarrass her in this matter.
It's just that she has to face him again, and she is a little stunned.
Not everyone can enter the East Palace, and she only occupies the convenient status of the daughter of the prince's teacher, so that she can occasionally meet the prince.
So if you want to get it back, she has to go there herself.
Li Baojia didn't expect that he would have to face the prince after coming back for so long.
But the longer that purse stays there, the worse it will be for her.
The matter cannot be postponed any longer.
After making up her mind, she said to Xiao Tao: "Dress up, I'm going to the East Palace." ”
Xiao Tao's happiness was overflowing: "Miss! You've finally figured it out! ”
Turning around, the maids began to be busy again.
Li Baojia rejected the complicated bun that Xiao Tao wanted to comb for her, and only said that it would be good to comb a simple one at will.
Xiao Tao smiled: "Miss, I didn't want to go just now, would this be so anxious?" It's better to dress up and go again, so that the prince will forget about the vulgarity. ”
Li Baojia glared at her, and said in her heart that if she wanted to live for a few more years, she wouldn't dare to provoke him, so she let him and Concubine Su fly away.
Xiao Tao stuck out her tongue: "Just listen to Miss, just comb a simple one." ”
After changing her skirt, Li Baojia hurriedly boarded the carriage to the East Palace.
East Palace.
The crown prince Zhao Yi was handling government affairs in the palace, Huang Gonggong was waiting outside the door, and the two palace maids behind the palace were whispering.
"Today is not the day when the young lady of Mrs. Li's family sends soup to His Royal Highness the Prince, why is it that the sun is three poles today, and he hasn't come yet?"
"Who knows, it's best not to come, I didn't see that our prince was annoyed, then the young lady of the Li Mansion just has a good background, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't look down on such people who take the initiative to send them to the door." The palace maid who said this was obviously a bit of a posture and looked arrogant.
The round-faced palace maid next to her should be in harmony, but she didn't think so.
After all, in her opinion, the young lady of the Li Mansion is the most worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince, she is cute and beautiful, and kind-hearted.
is discussing here, and Li Baojia has arrived over there.
When Huang Gonggong saw her coming, he subconsciously wanted to go and take the food box and send her away.
When I got closer, I saw that the girl and her girls had empty hands.
He was stunned for a moment, and secretly wondered in his heart what new tricks Miss Li was going to send today?
Li Baojia gave Huang Gonggong a blessing: "Huang Gonggong... May I see Your Highness? I... I have something to say to Your Highness. ”
It turned out that he wanted to see His Royal Highness, and Gonggong Huang was a little embarrassed: "This... Your Highness is no one now, what do you have, the old slave will bring it to you. ”
Li Baojia was a little relieved, and quietly attached himself to Huang Gonggong's ear and said what he meant.
Huang Gonggong's eyes widened, this girl is a novelty, she has never seen someone send something, and she has to go back.
What's more, it was sent to the crown prince.
He thought for a while and said, "Then you wait here for a while, and the old slave will go in and report it." ”
When Huang Gonggong entered the hall, Zhao Yi was approving the excerpt of the draft girl, and when he saw him come in, he said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”
Gonggong Huang bent down respectfully and said, "Then Miss Li wants to see you outside the door." ”
He glanced up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again and said carefully: "Say... He said he wanted to get back the purse he gave you a few days ago. ”
He was stunned for a moment and chuckled, "Let her in." ”
Apparently he didn't think she was trying to get the purse back, but just a trick to see him.
Since she wanted to see him so much, and made up such a reason, he let her in and see what she wanted to do.
