After all, that's the Crown Princess, a woman who is better than me and can stand side by side with the Crown Prince. Although they have been married for three years, the two of them are not even close to each other.
Suddenly, one day, the people I sent beside the Crown Princess quietly came to report, saying that the Crown Princess was sleeping in the hall at noon, and His Royal Highness suddenly went away, and even backed away, even the Crown Princess, the Xiliang maid was expelled.
She thought it was a great event, so she came to report me urgently.
I was still very calm and said with a smile: "What can happen, His Highness is playing with the Crown Princess, and it is possible to scare her."
Towards the evening, the prince came to my palace. He was here with me all the time, and accompany me to have dinner. I was doing evening makeup in front of the dressing table, so he picked up the scroll and looked at it. For a long time, it was still the same page, which was not turned. I glanced at him quietly in the mirror, and said unintentionally, "What troubles did Your Highness encounter today?"
The prince was very surprised, stunned for a moment, then asked me with a smile: "Why do you say that?"
I said casually: "The book in His Highness's hand has been read for a long time."
He looked down at the pages of the book, put the scroll aside, but smiled and said casually to me, "I thought that King Wu would invite me to kick the juju tomorrow, how could I beat him."
I suddenly became sad.
There was no wind at noon, and the curtains hung down. I looked at the prince from a distance through the heavy curtains.
In fact, he was sitting in front of the Crown Princess's bed and didn't do anything. The Crown Princess slept soundly, ignorant and ignorant like a baby. He sat beside her for a while, suddenly looked around, then reached out and gently picked up her long hair scattered on the pillow. The belt is tied and tied in a knot.
He snickered and laughed happily while doing such a thing.
Just like an urchin.
If the princess wakes up with her hair tied to the post, if she gets up without precaution, her scalp will definitely hurt.
This kind of prank and trickery doesn't look like the simple and calm prince did.
But the Crown Princess was used to making a fool of herself, so let her suffer a little.
I was about to turn around and leave quietly when suddenly the princess on the bed moved and woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the prince. She was obviously startled, and she was about to sit up when she screamed.
She was so violent that even I was taken aback. I suddenly thought that she was afraid that half of her hair would be ripped off. It was too late and the prince didn't seem to be wary of her waking up suddenly, he suddenly reached out his hand to block her, and pressed her back on the bed with his arms.
The crown princess slammed her head against the wooden pillow, and she shouted angrily, "What are you doing, Li Chengyin?"
She was jumping around on the bed like a fish, and the prince almost couldn't hold her down. In the end, he suddenly said angrily: "If you jump around again, I will kiss you."
The Crown Princess was also so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, and immediately stopped struggling, looking at him with big black eyes. I suddenly thought that her eyes are always moist, like a cat, clear enough to see people.
The room fell silent, only the two of them looked at each other, the prince was still leaning over there, putting his hand on her shoulder, her eyes didn't blink for a moment, she just looked at him like that. I hid behind Pingshan, and I could only see the profile of the prince, and I had no idea what he looked like.
It was as if the two of them had been immobilized, and a moment passed without moving at all.
My heart suddenly hangs.
Just when I was feeling uneasy, the prince suddenly got up, and without saying a word, untied the hair band tied to the pillar.
The crown princess' hair was untied, like a scattered cloud, the black spread on the pillow.
The prince turned around and left.
The Crown Princess sat there, and after a while, she muttered to herself, "It's so fierce all day, what's so great."
She got up and tidied up her clothes, got out of bed and sat in front of the mirror, combing her hair one by one in front of the mirror.
Her hair was tangled and knotted, making it very difficult to comb. But after brushing and combing, she suddenly stopped again, holding her cheeks, staring at the mirror in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
I quietly exited.
Because I was afraid that people would see it, I walked down the aisle, bypassed the Qingliang Temple, and went back to the yard where I lived. As soon as he came out of the small door on the side of the passage, he suddenly saw the prince standing alone by the covered bridge. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he stood there quietly, looking up at the sky.
I looked up and saw that there was nothing in the sky, just a few wisps of pale white clouds.
He looked at the sky, I looked at him, he didn't move for more than half an hour, and I didn't move either.
I think of the princess sitting in a daze in front of the mirror, unable to tell how I feel in my heart.
He didn't do anything like this, just stood here in silence, which made me more sad than killing me.
I deeply regret that I looked down on the Crown Princess at the beginning, she turned out to be a big worry for her confidant.
I kept silent and carefully hid this thought.
It was not until the Crown Princess was kidnapped that I felt that the opportunity had come.
Of course I hope she dies outside and never returns to the East Palace.
The father sent the most trusted rangers and swordsmen. As soon as they found an opportunity, they would kill the crown princess outside the East Palace to solve the problem of this trusted friend.
What's more, she was kidnapped by the assassins, and she was more fortunate than her.
I thought, this nasty stupid woman will never show up to me again.
On the night of the first yuan, the prince asked me to accompany him to Chengtianmen to appreciate the lanterns and have fun with the people.
I was surprised and delighted.
That was the prerogative of the Crown Princess.
Although the crown prince favored me, he never took me to Chengtianmen. After all, he wanted to save some face for the royal family. Rules are always to be followed.
Although he did not take the Crown Princess to Chengtianmen.
I am overjoyed.
She put on makeup early and waited for the prince.
It was a very confidential matter that the princess was kidnapped by the assassin, and the prince didn't seem to be anxious, but the emperor did not control the Chengtianmen because of the wind and cold. However, the emperor specially ordered to give the prince a full set of luan drivers tonight, and the people outside could not tell them apart.
I got off the chariot in front of Chengtianmen, and the prince had already arrived. The servant next to him came down to pick me up, and carefully held the lamp to illuminate my feet.
I walked up to the Chengtian Gate Tower step by step. Although I was still wearing a good-looking Zhai robe, I couldn't help but feel a little turbulent. Because the prince used the emperor's luan to drive the honor guard, there were forbidden troops holding Jinwu everywhere in the building.
The prince stood alone on the Chengtian Gate, looking out of sight and looking at the sea of lights, wondering what he was thinking.
He has often been like this recently, which makes me feel that the three-year-old pillow-side person, who should have been intimate, is getting farther and farther away from me.
The waiter stood aside holding the golden plate, and I saw the cloaks stacked on the golden plate. I took the cloak in my hand and walked to the front of the building. The lights reflect my silhouette, swaying with golden hairpins, and with flowers on my temples. I walked slowly behind him and put the clothes on for him.
He turned his head to look at me and said nothing.
Alleys and neighborhoods are like a chessboard. In the east wind night, thousands of trees are blooming, and the stars are like rain.
I heard the clamor of gongs and drums, and it was a dragon dancing in the distance, spewing out balls of fireworks. There are countless lights hanging from the top of the tree, like thousands of stars falling down and sinking into this mortal world.
The bundles of Taiping money were carried to the front of the building. Gong E's servant grabbed the money and threw it downstairs. Everyone was rushing to pick it up. The people downstairs thought that the Son of Heaven was upstairs, and suddenly the mountain shouted long live the dance.
I think that although this is the first time, in many years to come, it will be like this year. I will stand here with him, standing above this prosperity, overlooking this dreamy Chang'an, overlooking this beautiful river and mountains.
The world belongs to him, and I will stand by his side.
The prince stood upstairs for a while, and said to me, "I'll go into the palace to see the emperor. You can take care of me here."
I said, "Don't worry."
I know that there are no ceremonies, but it is just a wave of hands to the people below from the curtain, and then from time to time people are ordered to dump money to add excitement to this prosperous scene.
The prince brought people downstairs, and the Jinwu Imperial Army in the building all followed him, and most of the time was empty.
I turned around and ordered Gong E to go get some more money.
I don't know why, but as soon as the prince left, I felt that the Chengtian Gate became silent in an instant, and it was terribly silent. The lively and noisy voices in the distance can still be heard, and nearby the people downstairs are still shouting long live. The money poured down from the tower, making a loud noise, like a torrential rain.
But these voices, how lonely.
I suddenly wanted to drink a glass of wine.
A Wu ordered the waiter to bring the crystal cup, and then he carried the pot and filled me with a glass of wine. I took a sip, remembering that the wine was originally from the Western Regions, and I couldn't help but lose my interest.
I was waiting for someone to change the shochu wine when I suddenly heard a scream from the palace e in the building. I looked back and I didn't know when, maybe the lamp oil was overturned, and it was roaring. The fire ran along the curtain, but after a short while, it quickly ignited.
I was still very calm. I ordered someone to notify General Jin Wu, and another person to send Pegasus to report to the palace. I just said a few words, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
A Wu supported me and wanted to go downstairs in a hurry, but who knew that the corridor was already full of smoke, so choked that people couldn't open their eyes. Someone next to him was so frightened that he cried, it was a little Huangmen who had just tied his hair. I scolded and said, "What are you panicking!" Before I could finish my words, a huge fire suddenly burst into flames with a bang, blocking the way.
The thick smoke grew thicker and thicker, attacking from all directions like a black dragon, the fire was burning from everywhere, and there were scorching flames everywhere. Everyone screamed and ran away. I never expected such a change in an instant. I watched the fire burn in front of my eyes. When I was walking, someone suddenly grabbed me. It turned out that the man actually picked me up. He carried me with one hand and A Wu with the other, pulling us downstairs from the fire.
I don't know how I got through the thick smoke and flames, but I just felt that the fire was scorching, and my hair was scorched in front of my forehead. I don't know how long it took for the mouth and nose to realize that he was already under the Chengtianmen, and the entire Chengtianmen had been caged in raging flames.
I was put down in shock, and the person who saved me called me anxiously, "Little lady."
Chengtianmen became a huge fire, and the flames lit up half the night sky. I recognized it by the fire, and it was the servant my father arranged by my side who saved me. All I remember is that his surname is Lu, Xing Er, everyone calls him Lu Erlang, and he is usually a person who doesn't like to talk much.
People kept escaping from the Chengtian Gate, and the maids Gong'e also escaped from the fire. The thick smoke blackened their faces. Many people cried when they saw me, especially the valet who recognized me. Everyone was in a panic, and they surrounded me and Awu tightly, like a flock of frightened birds.
There was a rumble of hoofs behind him, and the street was in chaos. In fact, every year, when looking at the lights, there were preparations in Beijing. I was afraid that there would be a fire in the water.
Sure enough, a decree soon came out of the palace, and General Longwu personally led the army, while sealing the nine gates of the inner city, while fighting the fire to save people.
The curfew was soon reinstated on the streets, and I was sent back to the East Palace.
Although I was in a state of embarrassment, there was no danger, but I quickly calmed down in the chariot.
Lu Erlang, on the other hand, whispered a few words to A Wu through the car window, and A Wu came back and told me that the fire at Chengtianmen was strange, and the little lady should be careful.
I nodded.
After I settled down, I also felt that the fire was very strange. The fire came too fast and fierce, but it was Chengtianmen, who would dare to set such a fire under the eyes of the emperor.
It's almost treason.
I think that this fire is probably aimed at the prince. After all, the emperor is slightly ill, and although there are not many people who know it, there are not many people. Everyone in the palace knows that the imperial car never left the palace tonight, and the prince who succeeded the emperor on behalf of the emperor was the prince.
When I think of the prince, my heart suddenly twitches. Fortunately, the prince entered the palace earlier, otherwise, what a thrill.
After a long time, every time I thought about this night, I felt stupid and ridiculous.
Who else has the ability to set a fire at Chengtianmen, and immediately mobilize General Longwu to seal the gate of Jiucheng, of course, there is only one person.
He did such a thing with His Majesty's tacit approval, but in order to save the Crown Princess.
As for me, I finally figured out later that he actually wanted to burn me to death at Chengtianmen by the way.
Otherwise, why is the fire burning right in front of my eyes.
I had no idea he was such a cruel man until I saw that cat.
That cat was given to the Crown Princess by General Pei.
She was ill for a long time after returning to the East Palace. Perhaps to please her, General Pei specially sent a cat to the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess named the cat Xiaoxue, and she loved it very much at ordinary times.
Even though I like cats, I don't like that cat because it is the princess' cat.
But I didn't expect that someone would hate that cat more than I did.
Xiaoxue died and was drowned in the pool.
The princess was heartbroken.
After she returned to the East Palace, she was already sick to the bone, but now she was more like a candle in the wind, as if a gust of wind would blow her away.
The prince specially went to find a cat, a kitten that looked exactly like Xiaoxue, and he didn't know where to get it. I stood in the aisle and watched him carefully hold the cat like a treasure. When he walked to the front of the hall, he suddenly changed his mind and only ordered someone to bring it in to the Crown Princess, while he stood outside the door. wait.
I suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he also stood on the edge of the covered bridge, like this trance.
At that time, I actually knew that he was thinking of her.
Lovesickness and no blind date, just because of love, but will stand here silently and alone.
I think I'm just a joke.
So when it happened, I wasn't actually panicking.
I know that there will be such a day, he has already planned it, the prince is a person who takes every step forward, even if I am a bit smart, where is his opponent.
A crushing defeat.
