As the scroll slowly unfolded, a pair of ink paintings immediately came into view. Before leaving the pavilion, the empress was also a well-known talented woman in Beijing. Naturally, she had studied calligraphy and painting. When her eyes touched each frame of the painting, her eyes More and more amazing.
After a long time, she gradually came back to her senses, and looked at the woman opposite with a complicated face. This picture of Spring Mountain was bestowed by the emperor on the day of the crown prince and the crown. Naturally, it has a meaning. She had always suspected that the prince's favor for his niece was only superficial, but now her mood became complicated.
Why did the prince suddenly treat his niece so well, and even promised to help her? Since he opened his mouth, the other party must not just talk casually. From this point of view, Concubine Li's actions today are not groundless.
"It's a good thing that the prince treats you well, but you have to understand that he is the prince, the future emperor, and the country and the country are the first in his heart. Don't be dazzled by that little tenderness."
The queen held her hand with a complicated expression, and said meaningfully: "In this world, even the person next to the pillow cannot be trusted."
Looking at each other, Liu Yin just nodded seriously, feeling that this should be what the empress thinks in her heart. As an empress, if she can't even see this clearly, she won't sit firmly in the middle palace for so many years.
But of course she knew that the prince couldn't be trusted, it was just a play on the occasion, and there was a limit to how the other party could help her. Although she didn't know why this man wanted to help her, there must be other reasons.
"However, since the crown prince said to help you, he will definitely not lie. Let's see what's going on with Concubine Li. If necessary, I will let people spread rumors. Since that scumbag doesn't care about my daughter's reputation, I will naturally I will also push the boat along the way, and wait until the fifth princess's reputation is ruined, and see how the emperor will marry her into the Liu family." The queen's eyes sharpened.
Hearing this, Liu Yin didn't express any opinion, but just put away the scroll painting, "Then I'll put this here with my aunt, and you can take it away with my mother when you have time, and I can't leave the palace either, although the prince He talked about asking me to leave the palace, and if I really leave the palace, he will definitely say that I am restless again, and it will be difficult to serve him."
After finishing speaking, Liu Yin paused for a moment, and slowly raised her gaze, only to see the queen looking at this side quietly, she immediately blushed and lowered her head, she was really outspoken, she should have a deep-rooted affection for the prince now , How can you complain about the other party!
Looking at this delicate and pretty woman in front of her, the queen was in a daze. She didn't know when that rude and reckless niece gradually became more sensible. Although her temper seemed to be the same as usual, her heart was quite different. Did she know this girl too little, or did she grow up too fast
"The most important thing for you now is the child. You don't need to think about other things. Only when you have a child will your position be considered stable. Don't feel like your aunt is nagging. Everything my aunt does is for you and for the Liu family." The Queen Said earnestly.
Seeing that the other party brought up this matter again, Liu Yin quickly got up and nodded as if begging for mercy, "Okay, okay, I listen to my aunt in everything, but I don't have the final say on this child, how long do you think it will be?"
As she said that, she blushed and left the inner hall without turning her head. The queen left behind and shook her head helplessly. She still had some doubts in her heart. No one knew the prince better than her. Although she was raised under her knees since childhood, the other party She has always been cold-tempered, even she only respects her mother, but she has never really had a heart-to-heart relationship, and the other party does not like to play on the occasion, otherwise she would not be so alienated from her niece in the past, but why is she so nice to her now
One favor was to give the Liu family face, but what does it mean to stay in Yin'er at this time, and also gave her the Spring Mountain Map, took her out of the palace, and promised to help, the queen dared not think deeply, but if she really wanted to As she said, God bless her Liu family.
Hurrying out of the inner hall, Liu Yin felt that it would be better for her to visit the queen less in the future, so as not to be rushed here and there every day. She is not a sow, so how can she give birth as soon as she says she is born.
It's just that when she came to the corridor outside, she saw that it was raining heavily, and it was accompanied by thunder and lightning, which was very scary. I didn't expect it to rain. Will she go down after she goes back
"Princess, why don't you go inside to talk to your mother, it's raining so heavily, what if you catch a cold?" Hong Xing said with a worried face.
Xiyun on the side also echoed, "Yes, miss, you will definitely get wet if you go out like this."
After saying that, Liu Yin just glanced at her, did she stay here and continue to give birth to the queen
Looking at the rain, she gritted her teeth, suddenly took the umbrella in Hongxing's hand, propped it on top of her head, and immediately stepped down the steps, her whole body was immersed in the downpour, and the fine cloud behind her was so frightened that she hurriedly followed .
Changle Palace.
Bean-sized raindrops hit the window one after another. Hearing the sound of rain outside, the atmosphere in the inner hall was somewhat solemn. A wisp of white smoke rose slowly from the incense burner, which made people feel soothed unconsciously. Be calm.
The fifth princess knelt in front of the soft couch, her pretty face was full of tears, and her eyes were red and swollen. She didn't know how long she had been crying, but now she was kneeling straight on the ground, and the tears were still falling straight down. .
"Concubine Mu...is there no other way?" She cried hoarsely.
There were only two people in the hall. Concubine Li was leaning halfway in front of the soft couch, she kept rubbing her forehead with her eyes closed, her face was tired, she seemed unwilling to see her daughter like this, she couldn't help but sighed deeply, "Is your grandfather The pillar of the family, if he falls, the whole family will lose its backbone. Your grandfather is also involved in this private salt case. Although the case has been closed, the prince still has your grandfather's handle. You have to know, empress It's the queen, but we must not offend the prince, otherwise not only your grandfather, but our entire Fang family will not have a good life."
"Then do you want me to sacrifice?"
The fifth princess looked at the charming woman in front of her in disbelief. She never thought that such a thing would happen to her. In one night, her relatives abandoned her mercilessly. This person was still her concubine mother. .
Lifting her eyes, Concubine Li also looked at her with displeasure and said, "You have to understand the overall situation, we are all for the good of the Fang family, what do you think the mother and concubine entered the palace for? Not for the Fang family, personally The honor and disgrace of the Liu family is nothing, everyone in this palace can't help themselves, you should be sensible, the concubine mother has reminded you long ago, telling you not to mess with that girl of the Liu family, you must listen, this is good, The Liu family doesn't want to marry you. If Liu Yin hadn't been fanning the prince, how could the prince persecute our Fang family like this? The mother and concubine would not abandon your reputation. The only plan for now is to be patient. The queen will definitely use every stitch to destroy you Fame, the emperor will naturally cancel the engagement at that time, you are still a princess, the emperor will only be angry for a while, and will definitely find you a good family in the end."
Listening to each other's words, the fifth princess clenched her palms tightly, tears fell one drop after another, and finally closed her eyes suddenly, and smiled mockingly, "Good man? Are you going to Turkic to get married?"
The sad voice moved Concubine Li's heart, and she could only turn her head away cruelly, not to look at her, "Don't be thinking wildly, how could the mother and concubine let you go to Turkic to get married, you just need to wait patiently."
wait
Waiting for her to be discredited
Waiting for her to become the laughing stock of the whole capital
Standing up suddenly, she turned around and rushed out. The maid at the door didn't stop shouting, she could only look at the concubine inside, who waved her hand wearily. Seeing this, the maid hurriedly followed.
The heavy rain fell on her crazily, and the fifth princess ran forward staggeringly. She couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain on her face. She just ran forward aimlessly. The person fell to the ground suddenly, and the icy rain fell mercilessly.
She was crying and laughing, and suddenly a figure with hurried steps appeared in her sight, she clenched her five fingers, and her eyes were filled with monstrous hatred.
Even though the umbrella was big, Liu Yin was still drenched a lot, but even so, she still didn't want to listen to the queen talking about the child, until when she passed by a corner of the imperial garden, there seemed to be a familiar figure in her peripheral vision .
She paused, and through the rainy sky, her gaze fell on the woman not far away who fell in the rain in a panic. The two just looked at each other from the air, until Xiyun caught up with her, and followed her. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the fifth princess.
Liu Yin didn't know if this was done by the crown prince. Although she felt that the imperial concubine's actions were very abrupt, she still didn't want the fifth princess to marry her brother. If she had the ability, she was willing to fulfill the happiness of others, but the premise was the happiness of others. Can't build on her pain.
"Miss... Isn't that the fifth princess? Why doesn't she bring a palace attendant?" Xiyun couldn't help but look over there curiously.
The cold rain slid down her cheeks, the fifth princess watched the woman over there slowly close her eyes, suddenly supported the ground, stood up staggeringly, and walked towards her palace step by step.
Looking at the figure that was drifting away, Liu Yin didn't express any emotion, but hurried to the East Palace, maybe she was already drenched, and she didn't care about it, she could only keep going forward, and finally her face was full It's all rain, and when she finally ran back to the East Palace, when Madam Liu saw her like this, she immediately put on a stern face and gave a burst of education, and then immediately asked someone to make ginger soup.
He hurriedly took a bath, and drank a bowl of ginger soup when he came out, but Madam Liu gave Xiyun a serious education, Liu Yinban didn't stop her, but she obviously overestimated her physical fitness, At night, I started to sneeze and my head became dizzy.
Grandma Liu hurriedly asked someone to go to the imperial physician, and finally got the result that she had contracted a cold, and then prescribed several medicines. In the past, she would not care about such a small cold at all, but she obviously overestimated it. Now this body's physique, even if she drank the medicine, she suddenly developed a fever in the middle of the night. In the past, if it wasn't a high fever, she wouldn't even take medicine, but now she doesn't dare, so she can only be honest. He asked someone to invite the imperial physician again.
"The princess is weak, don't take your body seriously in the future, you must take your medicine on time these few days, I'm on duty at the imperial hospital today, if your fever doesn't subside at night, I'll come back to give you some medicine Needle." The imperial doctor said, retracting his hand to feel the pulse.
On the bed, Liu Yin's head contracted dizzily in the quilt. The imperial doctor did whatever she wanted. She felt that she really needed to exercise, and she couldn't help but talk about her current state.
"I don't know how many times this old slave has said it. If the Empress asks about it tomorrow, it's up to you what to say." Liu Mama said with a serious face.
The person on the bed blushed, and murmured weakly, "You must not tell my aunt about this."
Seeing this, Nanny Liu frowned even more. Just as she was about to say something, she inadvertently glanced at the people outside the door from the corner of her eye, and immediately bowed and saluted, "This old slave has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
There were bursts of greetings outside the door, and the prince who hadn't left hurriedly knelt down, "My minister bows to His Royal Highness the prince."
The rain outside was much lighter, but it was still pattering down in front of the corridor. The man was wearing a black robe and did not see any raindrops. When he came in, his eyes swept over the person on the bed, and then he looked at the man on the bed. The imperial physician asked, "How is the princess?"
Seeing the person coming, Liu Yin shrank into the quilt silently again. Now that it's all over, the prince will definitely be able to unscrupulously mock her for being weak.
"Returning to Your Highness, the high fever of the Crown Princess has not subsided. If it does not subside tonight, I can only use acupuncture. However, the Crown Princess is weak, so it is best not to use this method." The imperial physician said respectfully.
Hearing this, the man frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the blanket on the bed, and the others quickly stepped back, leaving only two people in the room.
Liu Yin was a little out of breath, and finally poked his head out secretly, but suddenly saw a tall figure standing in front of the bed, who was staring at her condescendingly, although there was still no expression on his face, but Liu Yin was Inexplicably a little scared.
"Cousin... Cousin?" She quietly reached out and grabbed the man's robe.
Xu Shi had a severe fever, and her little face was full of rosy red. Qin Yan just stared at her slightly, with his thin lips slightly parted, "Let your father come over tomorrow."
Liu Yin: "!!!"
"Brother Prince..."
She couldn't help clutching the other man's robe tightly, looking up at the man, as if she was about to cry, "Everything is negotiable, it rained heavily when I was walking today, who would have thought that I would catch a cold just now, You don't need to tell my dad about such a trivial matter, do you?"
The man didn't speak, but stared at her without warmth, which made people feel flustered. Liu Yin didn't know why the other party was angry again. It seemed that she had a fever. Her mother would only feel distressed when she saw her have a fever. Are people still angry
If it is possible to coax the other party at ordinary times, it may be that her head is very dizzy. She is in a daze and does not speak. She simply shrinks back into the quilt again. She is a patient now, why do you want her? To coax others
Until the quilt was suddenly pulled away, and her whole body was immediately embraced in a warm embrace. Before she could recover, a big warm hand suddenly appeared on her forehead, and a sullen male voice suddenly sounded in her ears, " I like the rain so much, how about continuing to shower later?"
Liu Yin: "..."
She turned her head away, closed her eyes a little aggrieved, and gradually pushed away the person in front of her with her small hands.
The candlelight was faint, and the room was silent. Qin Yan frowned, raised his hand to caress the hot forehead, and said softly, "Is it still uncomfortable?"
