Chapter 55: The Princess's Heart
Qin Tao's letter to Princess Yunyang.
It was already nine days before I reached Kyoto by messenger.
In the Daqian Dynasty, where transportation was not yet developed.
From a remote place, it can be reached in nine days, which is considered a god speed.
On this day, the clouds were light and the wind was light.
The sun is blazing.
In the Imperial Garden.
Princess Yunyang sat in the pavilion, a little depressed.
Everyone envies the princess, but a few people know the pain of being in the palace.
Princess Yunyang didn't have many friends.
I can't leave the palace a few times a year.
Most of his life is spent in this deep palace compound.
She is her father's favorite princess.
But she longed for freedom even more.
I want to go out shopping, I want to buy something I like to eat, I want to smile when I look at the sun every day.
It's just that everything that seems ordinary has nothing to do with her.
Because she's a princess.
The colt was killed in battle.
Her mood was even worse.
Sometimes they don't say a word all day.
It's not that I have nothing to say, I just don't know where to speak.
Among the peony flowers, butterflies and bees flutter.
Princess Yunyang turned a blind eye to this.
She was immersed in her own world and couldn't help herself.
Even the palace maids who served her only stood outside the pavilion, because without her orders, even the personal maids could not get too close.
Alas!
Princess Yunyang sighed lightly.
Preoccupied.
She had seen the pony she had died on the battlefield once or twice, and she was not particularly impressed by him, except that she knew that he was quite tall.
Despite this, Princess Yunyang still has some regrets.
An hour passed.
She barely changed her sitting position.
The inexplicable sadness made her a little selfless.
I can't tell you how I'm feeling.
Everything is inexplicable.
The happiest time was when I went out of Beijing with Zhu Wenzheng.
Endless idyllic scenery along the way.
Every time the sun sets, you can see one or two farmers driving their cattle to plough the fields.
I met Qin Tao again.
Qin Tao has a beautiful wife.
And Qin Tao is also her biggest gain from going to Beijing this time.
regarded Qin Tao as his best friend.
Wrote him a letter.
Princess Yunyang clearly remembered that when she was writing a letter, a tear fell on the corner of the letter.
She herself couldn't explain why.
In ten days, Qin Tao's letter should have arrived!
At this moment, Princess Guanping, the sister of Princess Yunyang, who was the same mother and father, walked into the imperial garden.
Princess Yunyang had sixteen brothers and twenty-three sisters, and she was the youngest.
Only Princess Yunyang and Princess Guanping are siblings.
So in this house, the relationship between the two people is the best.
However, my sister married the champion of that year the year before last.
So Princess Yunyang doesn't have any friends.
Princess Guanping made a gesture to the palace maid and told her not to make a sound.
Then, she walked in softly.
She didn't notice until her sister was behind her.
So, Princess Guanping covered her sister's eyes from behind, and deliberately asked her in a humble voice: "Guess who I am?" ”
"You ......"
Princess Yunyang didn't guess for a while.
Although her sister is also a princess, she is already married, so she can't go back to the palace often.
In addition to the festivals of several provincial relatives in a year, and then the great joy and sacrifice in the palace, as well as the call of the father, the princess who marries at other times cannot enter the palace.
So Princess Yunyang didn't guess it.
"It's me!"
Princess Tatehira let go of her hand.
As soon as Princess Yunyang turned around and saw her sister, her mood instantly improved a lot.
"Sister, it's you!"
Princess Yunyang jumped up like a child, grabbed her sister with both hands, and asked her sister to sit down quickly.
There are a lot of things that I want to talk to someone.
My sister is not here, and Princess Yunyang doesn't even know who to talk to.
"Why are you here?" Princess Yunyang pulled her sister tightly, for fear that it would be a dream.
"I missed you, so I'm here!" Princess Guanping said with a smile.
"No, it's not a holiday today, you can't enter the palace." Princess Yunyang knows the rules of the palace.
In this palace compound, the rules are greater than the sky.
Even if it's a princess, it's no exception.
"It's not because you're unhappy." Princess Tatehira replied.
"Because of me?" Princess Yunyang was slightly stunned.
Princess Guanping withdrew her hand, gently tucked the lock of long hair hanging down from her sister's forehead behind her ear, and said, "Father saw that you were soulless all day, so let me go into the palace to see you." ”
It makes sense.
"I'm not unhappy, it's just that the whole day isn't interesting." Princess Yunyang was deflated again.
Princess Guanping looked at her sister like this, as if she saw herself back then.
Born in the palace, there are too many things that I can't help myself.
I can feel the feelings of my sister.
Although Princess Guanping is not in the palace, she has also heard that since her sister went out with Mr. Zhu once, she came back like this.
Therefore, Princess Guanping concluded that the reason why her sister was in a bad mood was not because of the death of the horse.
A girl who has not been out of the cabinet has a lot of worries all day long, and most of them have only one reason, that is, their hearts belong.
There is no other reason for this.
"Sister, I brought you something, I promise you will be in a good mood after reading it." Princess Guanping said a little mysteriously.
Princess Yunyang was interested.
In fact, life in the palace is very monotonous.
Sisters come and go just to send some snacks and food and stuff like that.
Like gold, silver and jade, everyone doesn't care at all.
"No appetite." Princess Yunyang said lazily.
Princess Guanping smiled and said, "You don't want to see it?" ”
Seeing that her sister was so mysterious, Princess Yunyang didn't want to ruin her interest, so she said, "Then let's take a look." ”
Princess Tatehira asked her maid to bring something.
Sure enough, just like Princess Yunyang's material, it is a delicate box.
"Sister, I really don't want to eat."
Princess Yunyang was not squirming in front of her sister.
I couldn't lift my spirits for a while.
I don't know if I have any disease?
Seeing her like this, Princess Guanping didn't force her, but just pressed one hand on the box and said to her quite solemnly: "Sister, there are only two of us here, and if you want to say that in this huge palace, there are only the two of us who are the closest." ”
Telling the truth is often more impressive.
There is no need for flowery vocabulary and no need for deliberate sensationalism.
Blood affection is worth a thousand words.
Princess Yunyang's heart moved slightly.
I couldn't help but nod my head.
"yes, we're all lonely." Princess Yunyang's heartfelt words.
However, in comparison, my sister is much happier than herself.
Although his father was also in charge and married his sister to the champion of the year, that champion was capable, and now he is also a big official in the court.
His sister bore him another daughter.
With her daughter by her side every day, she is not lonely at all.
"Sister!"
Princess Tatehira became a little serious for a moment.
