Chapter 387: Faded away from youth and childishness
When Xu Ying entered the East Palace, Tao Lian was catching up on sleep.
Her body hurts, her heart hurts, and she sleeps very deeply.
It wasn't until the palace people came to pay their respects and Concubine Xu came to greet her that she got up to wash and change her clothes under the service of the palace people.
After cleaning up, she took the hands of the palace people and went to the palace to see Xu Ying.
Xu Ying was wearing a pink dress, although the dress was luxurious, it was a little less atmospheric.
Seeing Tao Lian come out, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "The concubine has seen the crown princess." ”
Tao Lian suppressed the complexity in her heart, walked over, and personally helped her up, "Concubine Xu is exempt." ”
"Thank you, Crown Princess." Xu Ying looked relieved.
"Concubine Xu, sit down." Tao Lian let go of her hand, sat down on the first place, and spoke.
Xu Ying paused and said softly: "Although you and I have different identities now, I still want to dare to ask the crown princess to call me by my original name." ”
Tao Lian was stunned.
She used to call her Sister Xu Ying, did she want her to continue to call like this?
Seeing that she was silent, Xu Ying seemed to notice something, and immediately said in panic: "The concubine is not sensible, please forgive the princess." ”
Tao Lian came back to her senses, although it was not appropriate for her to call her Sister Xu Ying now, but hearing Xu Ying say this, she was still a little uncomfortable.
"You're tired today, go back early and rest, and be ready to greet the prince in the evening." She said lightly.
Xu Ying blushed, lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "Yes." ”
Looking at the flush on her face, Tao Lian was stunned.
"The crown princess didn't give orders, and the concubine retreated first." Xu Ying said.
"Well, go ahead." Tao Lianqiang cheered up.
Xu Ying saluted, then held the hand of the palace man and withdrew.
As she crossed the threshold, she suddenly turned her head and glanced at Tao Lian.
Tao Lian was dressed in the palace dress of the crown princess, faded from her youth and childishness, and sat on the first seat, looking so noble and elegant.
Xu Ying pursed her lower lip, retracted her gaze, and followed the palace people.
As soon as she left, Tao Lian's shoulders collapsed.
Yun'er, the personal maid, whispered: "If the young lady is not feeling well, go back to the dormitory to rest for a while." ”
Tao Lian shook her head, "I just woke up, I don't want to rest, I want to go out for a walk." ”
Yun'er nodded, "The garden in the East Palace is very beautiful, the slave maid will accompany the young lady to go shopping?" ”
"Hmm." Tao Lian answered, took her hand, and went to the garden.
When she arrived in the garden, the depression she had accumulated in her heart dissipated a lot.
Yun'er saw that she finally had a smile on her face, and she was immediately relieved.
She took fish food, stuffed it into Tao Lian's hand, and said with a smile: "Miss, the fish in this pond are very beautiful, can you feed them a little?" ”
Tao Lian looked down at the fish in the pool, smiled, and sprinkled the fish food into it little by little.
Suddenly, the fish scrambled to swim over and scramble for food.
Soon, the fish food was snatched up by the fish.
Tao Lian was stunned.
Suddenly I felt that my future self was not a fish in this pond, and I was locked in a fish pond, waiting for the occasional handout from my master.
Looking at the reflection of herself in the pond, she suddenly became enlightened.
Even if she has no choice but to become a fish in this pond, she should not do her best for the owner's little fish food like this fish.
If she doesn't want fish food, she doesn't care what the owner wants.
Thinking of this, she threw all the remaining fish food into the pool.
Looking at the fish scrambling for food, a bright smile appeared on her little face again.
In the evening, Tao Lian finished her meal early, and then lay down on the soft couch, looking at the script with relish.
"Your Highness."
At this time, the sound of palace people saluting sounded in the hall.
Tao Lian paused, put down the book in his hand, and got up to salute, "The concubine has seen the prince." ”
Qi Yan stopped, looking at the smile on her face, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
When he came in, he could clearly see a happy smile on her face, and it was obvious that her smile disappeared when he came.
He felt bitter in his heart, and stepped forward to help her up, "Li'er, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to salute." ”
"Your Highness, the ceremony must not be abolished." Tao Lian broke away from his hand and took a step back.
Qi Yan was upset, "Li'er, do you have to see Gu like this?" ”
Tao Lian glanced at him and diverted the topic: "Your Highness's concubine's dormitory, is there something wrong?" ”
Qi Yan was defeated, sat down where she had just been lying, pursed her lips and said, "I'm hungry." ”
Tao Lian was stunned, "The concubine didn't know that you were coming, so she didn't leave a meal." ”
Qi Yan was a little annoyed, and suddenly reached out and pulled her to her lap and sat down, "You did it on purpose?" ”
"What?" Tao Lian struggled for a while, but did not struggle, so he had to sit obediently.
"You knew I was coming, but you deliberately ate early." Qi Yan frowned.
"The concubine didn't know you were coming." Tao Lian also frowned, and then reminded, "Concubine Xu has entered the palace today, you should go to her dormitory tonight." ”
"I didn't plan to go there." Qi Yan's brows furrowed even tighter, "I thought I had made it clear to you in the morning." ”
Hearing this, Tao Lian raised his eyes to look at his handsome face under the lamplight, paused, and said softly: "Your Highness's intentions, the concubines know and are very grateful, but the Xu family is the elder of the three dynasties, and now Xu Ying has succumbed to the position of the side concubine, and she is already a little wronged, if you snub her, I am afraid that it will make the Xu family unhappy and cause trouble."
Your Royal Highness, don't be presumptuous, how about tonight, you have to go to Concubine Xu's bedroom. ”
Qi Yan looked at her in surprise, as if she didn't expect that she would say such a big truth.
Seeing this, Tao Lian smiled bitterly, "Although the concubine is usually a little playful, she doesn't know anything.
What the emperor said in the palace today, your highness should not forget. ”
The Xu family is a veteran of the three dynasties, and even the emperor is a little jealous.
This time, Xu Yingqu made a side concubine, Xu Jiaming didn't say anything on his face, but he was afraid that he was already unhappy, so the emperor would remind the prince this morning.
"Li'er, what I said is not to coax you, I really think so. Now, I don't have absolute authority over me, but I'll give you an account one day. Qi Yan lowered his eyes and said.
"I believe in Your Highness." Tao Lian nodded, hoping that he would leave quickly.
Qi Yan paused, how could he not understand her perfunctory words?
But he didn't linger any longer, and after letting her rest early, he got up and left.
As soon as he left, Tao Lian picked up the notebook on the soft couch again as if nothing had happened, and looked at it.
Not long after, Yun'er hurriedly walked in.
Seeing that the young lady was reading the script, she was a little eager to speak.
Tao Lian caught a glimpse of it, so he asked, "Has the prince gone to Concubine Xu's bedroom?" ”
Yun'er sighed and stepped forward and said, "What the slave wants to say is exactly this matter, after His Royal Highness left here, he went to the study, and not long after, he came out of the study and went to Concubine Xu's bedroom.
After that, he didn't come out again. ”
