It was March, the spring was melting, and the peach blossoms were burning.
Lanterns and festoons are everywhere in Chang'an City, and brocade banners are flying. Both sides of Suzaku Avenue are brightly lit, and the common people are rubbing shoulders, crowded, watching the bustle, and whispering to each other——
"The prince's marriage is too grand!"
"Nonsense, the crown prince's marriage is not a big deal. Besides, maybe the prince will have such a happy event in his life, so it must be more grand."
"Oh, our prince is really pitiful, what a wise and gentle person, but he is weak and sick..."
"The crown prince is pitiful, and the crown princess who married is also pitiful. She is a good daughter of the Hou family, but she wants to give joy to a sick young man who is dying. If the crown prince passes away, wouldn't she be a widow at a young age?"
Between you and me, the gorgeous sedan chair entered the East Palace with a long guard of honor.
The prince was weak and unable to welcome his relatives in person. So the sedan chair went all the way to the gate of the East Palace, and the prince stepped forward to kick the sedan chair to pick up the bride.
Xi Po smiled and said to the sedan chair, "Crown Princess, we have arrived at the East Palace, you are ready, Your Highness is coming to pick you up!"
There was silence in the sedan chair.
Xi Po called again, but there was still no sound. Could it be that the bride fell asleep all the way
She vaguely felt something was wrong in her heart, and lifted the corner of the curtain to take a look.
Seeing this, Xi Po's complexion changed drastically, her legs became weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
In the bridal sedan chair, the bride in a bright red wedding dress was leaning limply in the sedan chair, her eyes were tightly closed, and a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of her bright red mouth.
Beside the hand that hangs feebly, is a small white porcelain bottle.
The bride who wanted to celebrate the crown prince committed suicide by taking poison before she could congratulate the prince!
—
When Tao Ti opened her eyes, what she saw was a large expanse of warm red.
Dahong's wedding tent, Dahong's pillow brocade quilt, Dahong's wedding dress, Dahong's double happiness paper-cut... What's the situation
As if answering her question, countless memories flooded into her mind the next moment.
The owner of this body, also named Tao Ti, is the prostitute daughter of Dayuan Chaoyongweihou. She is sixteen years old this year. Mrs. Yongwei Hou's wife, Mrs. Zhang, and Queen Gu were handkerchiefs, and later gave birth to their young daughter Tao Ti, and the two good sisters became relatives of their sons and daughters.
Kissing with dolls was very common in ancient times. But in the second year of the agreed marriage, Empress Gu died of illness.
Not long after, the five-year-old little prince also fell into the icy lake. Since then, his roots have been damaged. He has a cold every three days and a high fever every five days. He has been hanging his life on the soup. Half a year ago, Qin Tianjian calculated that the prince was destined to die, and he might not live to be twenty-three years old.
This year, the prince is twenty-one.
The emperor loved the prince very much, so he adopted the suggestion of his successor, Zhou, and hurriedly held a wedding for the prince, so as to avoid this catastrophe.
She never thought that the bride's heart belonged to her, and she was unwilling to marry a sick and weak prince who was dying, so she chose to end her life on a sedan chair.
By accident, Tao Ti, who was belching from food poisoning, walked over.
After figuring out the situation, Tao Ti just wanted to rant about her bad friend, that poor IQ degenerated into a husky—
This guy came back from a trip to Yunnan and brought her a bunch of mushrooms. After she finished eating happily, she discovered that the scientific name of the mushroom is Daqing Shimura, also known as ICU mushroom, and the whole village eats mushroom.
Thinking of her, Tao Ti, as the 99th generation cub of the Taotie clan, eating everywhere with her big mouth, she actually planted on a plate of mushrooms!
The most absurd thing is that their gluttonous clan is invulnerable to all poisons, but the underworld system malfunctioned, and she was also hooked out of nowhere. Before she could appeal to the Hades, she was bumped into the reincarnation platform by an evil ghost.
When she opened her eyes again, she became the happy princess.
Tao Ti comforted herself that "it is also destined to be worn by someone with the same name and surname, and if you come, you will be safe", while propping up her body and sitting up. Probably because the poison has not been completely removed, her chest is still aching, and her throat is also very dry.
The wedding room was empty, there was no one there, and the door was closed tightly.
Tao Ti walked to the table and wanted to pour a glass of water, but the teapot was empty. She licked her lips and called out, "Is anyone there?"
No one answered her.
Tao Ti pursed her lips, and just as she walked to the door, there was a conversation outside:
"She didn't want to marry, so she said it earlier. Who did she want to disgust by committing suicide in the sedan chair? Now that the joy has not rushed, the bad luck has found a lot."
"Oh, our Highness is so kind-hearted, and asked the imperial doctor to detoxify her. Let me tell you, such a woman dies as soon as she dies. She just entered the door and made such a fuss. Doesn't our East Palace want to kill her in the future? I was made to fly by her, and I couldn't be safe anymore!"
"Who said no, the prince is really unlucky. Such a joke happened on a happy day, and now he is still struggling to socialize outside... Hey, do you think the prince will come over tonight?"
"Probably not coming, who wants to have a bridal chamber with such a woman? Besides, she deserves to stay in the empty room alone for doing such a thing!"
Listening to the ladies' words, Tao Ti had mixed feelings in her heart, even if she said she was angry, she wouldn't be able to get angry, after all, what the original owner did was really bad. Don't be angry, she felt aggrieved to accept such a mess as soon as she passed through!
Sighing, she quickly adjusted her mentality, and said to the door in a hoarse voice, "Can you pour me a glass of water? The pot in the room is out of water."
As soon as she finished speaking, the voices outside also stopped abruptly.
After waiting for a while, there was neither a response nor a word from outside.
Are they going to just leave her alone like this? Or is it that although she was rescued, she is no longer the crown princess? Has even been reduced to... a prisoner
Just when Tao Ti was not sure about the situation, there was finally a sound at the door.
Tao Ti subconsciously took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance.
The door was pushed open, and a palace maid with triangular eyes in a blue dress came in with a pot of water. She put the teapot heavily on the table, with a cold face, and her tone was even less polite, "Drink."
this attitude...
Tao Ti frowned slightly, feeling uneasy, thinking of her own confused future, she held back in the end.
She said "thank you" in a low voice, and poured a glass of water on her own. But as soon as he took a sip of the tea, there was an old sour taste on the tip of his tongue.
The water is not drinkable at all, not to mention cold, it is not clean.
Seeing the undisguised disgust in the maid's eyes, Tao Ti pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "Please change a pot of water for me."
She added emphatically, "Clean, drinkable water."
The maid gave her a sideways glance impatiently, and muttered, "Water is good, but I'm picky. I don't want to be a princess, why are you showing off the prince's spectrum now..."
Tao Ti's expression froze, and just as she was about to say something, she heard another urging voice from outside, "Gui Rong, what are you dawdling about inside?"
The palace man called Gui Rong responded to the outside of the house with a shrill voice, "Hey, it's not our princess, who is rich in gold and jade. People look down on our East Palace. They dislike this and that, and now they still dislike us. The water in the Eastern Palace is not clean... Let me tell you, even the empresses in the Imperial Palace are not as delicate as her."
How could Tao Ti not see such obvious accusations against Huai? If she had to bear it any longer, she would be a glutton, she would just be a turtle.
"You said I dislike the water in the East Palace? Okay..." Tao Ti poured another glass of water with a sullen face, took a big step forward, and directly raised the teacup in front of the maid, "If you don't dislike it, just take this cup Drink the water!"
Seeing the cup that was about to stick to her lips, the goddess of the palace changed her expression, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, "What are you doing?"
"Why don't you drink it? Could it be that you also dislike Donggong?" Tao Ti sneered, her red lips slightly raised, making her charming face more and more radiant.
The maid's cheeks turned red and turned white, and she wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say for a while.
Sure enough, they are all bullying and fearing hard.
Thinking like this, Tao Ti put the water glass back on the table, and stared at the court lady calmly with her beautiful eyes, "I am the princess of the East Palace. Even if there is a fault, it will be dealt with by the emperor, queen and prince. When is it your turn, a little maidservant, to sneer at me and point fingers at me?"
The door was open, and her voice was not too loud, just enough for the palace people inside and outside the room to hear clearly.
Tao Ti didn't know what the expressions of the palace people outside were, but the arrogance of the palace lady in front of her was obviously weakened. She lowered her head, and she didn't dare to look into Tao Ti's eyes any more, but said in a low voice, "Yes, the servant has violated the rules, and I hope the princess will forgive me."
That's what he said, but his tone was still a little unconvinced.
Tao Ti didn't expect these two words to change the palace people's view of her. She didn't want to lose her temper or use her status to pressure others. At first, she just wanted to drink a glass of water.
She withdrew her expression, and said in a low voice, "Go and change a pot of clean water for me, and I won't care about you."
The palace maid hurriedly lowered her head and replied, "Yes, servant girl is going right now."
After that, he quickly turned around and left with the kettle in hand.
Tao Ti's ears twitched, confirming that after the person walked out of the room, the fierce aura just now was broken in a second. She raised her little hand and patted her chest, sighing with emotion in a low voice, "Phew, it's really not easy to put on airs..."
Just now she acted in the tone of the vicious female supporting role in the TV series, so she should be able to act well, right
She was thinking like this, and while looking at the wedding room, she was thinking about a serious question - will her husband, the prince, come over tonight
Even if the clay figurine has three points of anger, even if the prince who is rumored to be dead soon has a good temper, if the bride takes poison on the big day, he will probably be very angry, right
Alas, if I were the groom's official, I would definitely not talk to her again if the bride made such a fuss. In modern times, I went directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce certificate.
Although there was such a saying about Heli in ancient times, but... has there ever been a prince and concubine divorced in history? Conspiracy theories, will the royal family directly find an opportunity to "forcibly die of illness" in order to save face
Crane crest red, white silk, dagger, promotion to rank, hacked into pieces, quartered by five horses...
Tao Ti was thinking about the various ways of death in ancient times, when a long and thin "squeak" suddenly sounded behind her.
In the dead of night, there was bright red everywhere again, this movement comparable to the sound effects of a horror movie made her tremble with fright.
It should be the maid who fetched water is back? She comforted herself like this, but her hands were nervously pinching the big red wedding dress.
When she turned around and saw the person standing at the door, Tao Ti froze as if she had been cast with a body spell—
Mom, I saw a fairy! ! !
