A'Du suddenly jumped up, and when she jumped, I was also startled. At this time, the surroundings suddenly became bright, some people lit candles, and a group of people came in with lanterns, and it was Yong Niang who was the first. Across the distance, she knelt down with tears in her eyes: "Prince Concubine, please grant slaves and servants the crime of death."
I hate people kneeling, I hate Yong Niang, I hate people calling me Crown Princess, and I hate being guilty at all times.
"Oh, I came back well, didn't I?"
Every time I come back to Yongniang, I have to do this. She doesn't get tired of me and I get tired of it. Sure enough, Yong Niang immediately stopped her tears, and immediately ordered Gong E to come forward to wash for me, took off my men's clothes, and put on my least favorite clothes, wearing three layers inside and three layers outside, one layer Layer after layer of mixed joys and sorrows, like a thousand-layer cake, peeled for a long time and still can't see peanuts.
Yong Niang said to me: "Tomorrow is Zhao Liangdi's birthday, don't forget the princess, it's better to say something false."
I was so sleepy that the palace maids were still washing my face. I was wearing a large handkerchief in front of me, and the hair on the back was loose. They were carefully combing it with their teeth, which made me even more drowsy. I felt like a puppet, and at their mercy, Yong Niang said a lot to me, but I didn't hear a word because I finally fell asleep.
This time, I slept very sweetly, I had enough food, and I was chased by people in the middle of the night. It was too hard to run around. When I was sleeping soundly, I suddenly heard a loud "bang", and I woke up as soon as I opened my eyes, only to find that it was already bright. I saw Li Cheng Yin walked in angrily, Yong Niang and Gong E knelt down in panic to meet him.
I had a disheveled face and didn't do any laundry, but I had to get up from the bed, not because I was afraid of Li Cheng Yin, but if I quarreled with him in bed, it would be too disadvantageous and imposing.
He obviously came to Xing Shi to ask his guilt, and looked at me coldly: "Can you still sleep?"
I gave a big yawn before saying, "What can't I sleep for?"
"Why are you such a vicious woman?" He frowned and looked at me, his eyes were like two cold arrows, as if he was going to drill two holes in me, "Don't be pretentious!"
This is not his usual way of arguing with me. I feel inexplicable: "What's wrong?"
"What's the matter?" He said to me gritted his teeth, "Zhao Liangdi ate the birthday noodles you sent and vomited and diarrhoea. How could you be so poisonous?"
I rolled my eyes at him, "I didn't give birthday noodles to anyone, and it's none of my business who has diarrhea!"
"Don't dare to admit it?" He said contemptuously, "It turns out that all the women in Xiliang are so skinless and shameless!"
I was furious, Li Chengyin had been arguing with me for three years, and knew how to provoke me best, so I jumped up: "Women in Xiliang don't dare to admit, why should I admit things I haven't done? We women in Xiliang have always acted lightly, talking about a Zhao Liangdi, if I want to hurt someone, I will only take a knife and fight her hard, so I won't be such a small child who is poisoned behind the back! Man, what kind of man are you in the capital?"
Li Chengyin said angrily, "Don't think that I dare not abolish you! After all this was done, I can't bear you, a snake and scorpion!"
I threw out four words: "Listen and respect."
Li Cheng Yin was so angry that he walked away, and I was so angry that I couldn't sleep, and my stomach hurt, so A'Du rubbed it for me. Yong Niang was still kneeling there, she was obviously frightened, her whole body was shaking like a sieve. I said, "Let him go. He threatens to abolish me every year, and he hasn't said that yet this year."
Yong Niang had tears in her eyes again: "Prince Concubine forgive me... The birthday noodles were sent by slaves..."
I was taken aback, Yong Niang said: "But the servant girl really didn't do anything in it, the servant girl just thought, today is Zhao Liangdi's birthday, if the crown princess doesn't reward me with something, it seems a little... a little... The crown prince is lying on the bed and not awake, the servant girl She decided without authorization and ordered someone to send some birthday noodles to her. I didn’t expect that Zhao Liangdi would vomit and diarrhoea when she ate it... Please ask the Crown Princess to punish the slaves and servants for the crime of death...”
I said nonchalantly, "Since we didn't do anything, it's none of our business for her to have diarrhea. It's a death penalty. Get up quickly, you'll get tired of kneeling there."
Yong Niang stood up, but she was still tearful: "Prince Concubine, that word is taboo and cannot be said."
Isn't it a dead word? Who in this world will not die? These rules of the East Palace are the most annoying. I can't say that or do that. I'm about to be suffocated to death.
Because Zhao Liangdi vomited and had diarrhea in this game, her birthday naturally did not go well. Li Cheng Yin finally couldn't hold his breath and made a scene. It is impossible for him to abolish me, and even the masters will stop him without his father's words. But I was still unlucky, because Li Chengyin sued me in front of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager sent someone to send several books such as "Nv Xun" and "Nv Admonishment", and fined me to copy ten copies of each volume. all over. I was locked in the room, called Tian Yingying, and I was not working.
When I copied all the books for the fifth time, Yong Niang told me that one of Li Cheng Yin’s palace nurses, Xu Niang, was happy, and now Zhao Liangdi was slumped.
I asked her inexplicably, "What is Yuxi?"
Yong Niang almost recited it in one breath. She talked to me in circles for a long time, and then I suddenly realized that it turned out that Yuxi had a baby.
I was so excited to watch the fun. In the past few years in Beijing, I have not seen anyone around me who wants to give birth to a baby. Of course I have to intervene in such a rare thing. In the end, Yong Niang held him tightly: "Prince Concubine, you can't go! It is said that His Royal Highness once promised Zhao Liangdi that he would never have two hearts. That day, His Royal Highness was also drunk, so he would spoil Xu Niang. Now Zhao Liangdi is crying. Tears, I'm not happy. If the Crown Princess went to visit Xu Niang at this time, Zhao Liangdi would think that the Crown Princess was deliberately demonstrating..."
I really don't understand why Yong Niang thinks this way, everyone in the East Palace is weird, they think things always go round and round. I sighed, Yong Niang said that Zhao Liangdi would do that, maybe she would really think that way, I don’t want to quarrel with Li Chengyin anymore, he wants to sue me in front of the Empress Dowager again, and he will not punish me for copying The book is dead.
At night, the queen called me into the palace.
I rarely see the queen alone, but always with Li Chengyin. What the queen said to me was limited to "flat body", "give a seat" and "go down and rest." This time, when she summoned me alone, Yong Niang seemed very uneasy, and she personally accompanied me to see the queen.
A'Du was waiting for us outside Yong'an Hall, because she neither wanted to take off the golden knife on her body, nor was she too far away from me.
In fact, the queen is quite beautiful. She is not Li Chengyin's biological mother, Li Chengyin's biological mother is Concubine Shu. Legend has it that she is a beauty with unparalleled talent and beauty, and she is deeply favored by the emperor. Unfortunately, Li Chengyin died shortly after giving birth. . The queen never gave birth, so she took Li Chengyin to the Central Palace to raise him, and then Li Chengyin became a righteous prince.
The queen said a lot to me, and to be honest, I didn’t understand it very well, because it was too scrawled… The queen may have seen my expression like falling into a cloud, and finally sighed: “You are still too young after all. "Why don't you care about the things in the East Palace? Forget it, I ordered someone to clean up a secluded palace, and ordered Na Xu Niang to enter the palace to wait for delivery. As for Zhao Liangdi, you need to comfort me a lot, and don't make Yin'er troubled."
I finally understood these idioms. The queen said something to Yongniang again, and she still spoke in a succinct manner. I probably guessed that she was criticizing Yongniang for not teaching me well, because Yongniang knelt there with a face ashes and kept repeating: "Slaves and maids are guilty of death."
Seeing the queen is boring, and being disciplined is even more boring. I secretly used the tip of my toes to draw circles on the carpet. The carpets here are all tributes from Toho Lu. As soon as I stepped on the long fluff, it was as soft as snow. When I drew a circle, the flowers on the carpet turned white. When I drew the direction, the flowers on the carpet returned to their original colors... Then I drew with my toes, and the flowers turned white again... I was having a good time when I heard the Queen cough suddenly and looked up and saw that she was staring at me.
I quickly sat up and tucked my feet into my skirt.
When I came out of Yong'an Hall, Yong Niang said to me: "Prince Concubine, you should be sympathetic to your servants. If you make trouble again, it will not be a pity for the servants to die..."
I said impatiently: "I know, I have been locked in the house for so many days copying books, how can I get into trouble!"
Yong Niang reassured me and said, "Prince Concubine has been very obedient these days, but the Queen asked the Concubine to comfort Zhao Liangdi, and the Concubine must go to see her."
I snapped my fingers in boredom, and said angrily, "Li Chengyin doesn't allow me to go near that woman's place, so I don't want to see her, or Li Chengyin will quarrel with me again."
"This time is different. This time, the Crown Princess has obeyed the Queen's will, and she can go to see Zhao Liangdi in a fair and honest way. And taking this opportunity, the Crown Princess should show her goodwill to Zhao Liangdi. Zhao Liangdi is worried about Xu Niang's affairs. If the Crown Princess reveals a little Zhao Liangdi will definitely feel very grateful for the meaning of the relationship. If the Crown Princess can repair with Zhao Liangdi at this time, even if Xu Niang gives birth to a baby boy, it will definitely not be a good climate... "
I don't know what Yong Niang is thinking about all day long, but she used to be the most trusted female official of the Empress Dowager. Before I was officially canonized as a princess, she was sent to my side to accompany me to study the canonization ceremony etiquette. Then she accompanied me through the most difficult years in the East Palace. At that time, Li Cheng Yin ignored me at all. The East Palace was a pair of snobbish eyes. I was a newcomer, and I was from Xiliang, and I was often laughed at. Even the internal official who was a handyman dared to bully me. I was so homesick that I only knew how to cry while holding A’Du all day long, crying and crying to get a serious illness. Li Cheng Yin even insisted that I was pretending to be ill and would not let anyone tell the imperial hospital or the palace. It was Yong Niang and A'Du who stayed in front of my bed, feeding me the soup and medicine spoon by spoon, and literally snatched me back from the Lord of Hell.
So even though she sometimes thinks very strangely, I will follow her a little bit. After all, besides A’Du in the East Palace, it is Yong Niang who is really kind to me.
"Alright then, I'll go see her."
"Not only do I have to visit, the Crown Princess should also give Zhao Liangdi a few rare gifts to win her over."
Rare gift, what is a rare gift
I thought hard.
In the end, I solemnly chose a pair of bows and arrows for Gaochang's tribute, two boxes of jade chess pieces, a few pairs of bone crutches for holding play, and passionflower wine for the tribute of barbarians. When Yong Niang saw these things, the expression on her face was very strange.
"Uh... These are all good things that I think are quite rare." I glanced at Yong Niang's face, "Do you feel bad?"
Yong Niang took a breath and said, "Let the servant choose some gifts for the Crown Princess."
I have also seen the last gift that Yong Niang chose, such as Hetian jade inlaid with gold jumping off, red gold dotted green step, ruby coral hairpin, Chilong beaded necklace... And then there is Yanzhi cream and jasmine powder, isn't it? Jin Cancan is fragrant. I really don't think these things are rare and good things, but Yong Niang said with confidence: "Zhao Liangdi will definitely understand the painstaking efforts of the Crown Princess."
However, I am looking forward to this meeting with Zhao Liangdi. I met Zhao Liangdi once, and it was the day after I was enshrined as the Crown Princess. She was promoted to Niangdi and came to pay homage to me as a gift. My whole impression of her is that of a woman in a Juyi, saluting to me surrounded by everyone, because it was too far away, and I couldn't see what she looked like.
But Li Cheng Yin really liked her. I heard that he originally refused to marry me, but it was the queen who promised him that he could appoint Zhao Liangdi as his concubine, so I became the most hated person. Li Chengyin was always worried that I would bully Zhao Liangdi, so he would not let her come to my palace on weekdays, let alone to the yard where she lived. I don't know who he heard from, saying that women in Xiliang are jealous by nature, and can use magic to harm others, so I usually quarrel with him. As long as I mention Zhao Liangdi, he jumps like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. Get up, lest I really harm Zhao Liangdi.
Sometimes I'm a little jealous of Zhao Liangdi, not because of her other things, but because someone treats her like this. I have no relatives in Shangjing, and I am lonely and lonely. Although Yong Niang is kind to me, I don't like talking to her, and even if she says some things, she will not understand.
For example, in the night of our Western Liang Dynasty, we ran horses into the depths of the desert in one breath, and the wind blew through Achnatherum splendens, making the sound of "Sa La Sa La". And the blue and purple night is so low, so clear, so moist, like grape jelly, sour and sour, you can sip it into the corner of your mouth. Yong Niang had never seen grapes, so how could she know what grape jelly looked like. Although A'Du understood what I said, but no matter how lively I was talking, at most she would just stare at me quietly. Whenever this time, I feel homesick especially, thinking of my bustling Xiliang. The more I get up in the West, the more I hate the deserted East Palace.
