eldest princess mansion

The little princess put on a little makeup, half-lying on a recliner, and concentrated on painting.

"Don't make trouble, Xiaoyun." The little princess was blindfolded by a pair of hands. The person who usually made trouble with the little princess was her personal maid Xiaoyun. The little princess stretched out her hand to push her.

The little princess pushed her, but she still didn't move, so she pretended to be angry and said: "Oh, I guessed it was you, but you still make trouble, be careful I will complain to my mother and slap you."

The little princess pushed the hand covering her away with all her strength, and when she saw it, she saw that it was her mother, the eldest princess.

It turned out that it was my mother who came to play with me. The little princess was startled, and then she bowed her head in a low bun and saluted her: "It turns out that my mother is here!"

"You little guy, you are so polite when you see my mother." The eldest princess stretched out her finger and touched the little princess's forehead.

"Mom, it hurts." The little princess pursed her lips and rubbed her forehead.

"You little guy, I didn't even use any force, so why does it hurt?" the eldest princess said, pretending to be angry.

"Mom, I'm kidding you." The little princess stepped forward and took her arm.

The eldest princess couldn't help but smile when she saw the little princess's appearance. She sat on the side of the little princess and looked at the little princess's painting. The painting showed a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, vivid and intimate, with their necks wrapped around each other.

Looking at the painting, the eldest princess sighed: "You still haven't let go."

As she said that, her expression showed some loneliness. The little princess tried to persuade her many times, but she didn't want to think about it anymore. The eldest princess looked at the painting and seemed to see through the little princess's heart.

"Mom, no, you always think too much when I draw a picture of a mandarin duck. Since that day he left by boat, I haven't thought about him anymore. Why do you still come to persuade me." The little princess refused.

"I gave birth to you and raised you with one hand, and I don't know you yet?" The eldest princess came closer and gently stretched out her hand to caress the thin face of the little princess and said.

"Look at you, you have lost so much weight in the past few months, and my mother feels sad." The eldest princess looked at the little princess and said in a daze.

"Mom, please stop talking." The little princess felt a little sad after hearing what the eldest princess said and said quickly.

"Mom got another poem recently, written by that person." The eldest princess took out a sheet of poems.

"Mom, show it to me." After listening to the eldest princess's words, the little princess's eyes brightened, and she stretched out her hand to take the paper with the poems written on it.

Holding the poem in her hand, the little princess read it from top to bottom.

When I cried while reading "Moon Pearl in the Sea," I choked up, as if she was the mermaid who turned into drops of pearls while crying.

"Can this feeling be remembered in retrospect? It was just that I was at a loss at the time."

"Did he write it for his childhood sweetheart? Does it mean never to see her again?" the little princess asked, looking at her mother. There seemed to be some hope in her eyes. There was sadness and regret in the poem, which seemed to be telling about missing her for a long time and missing her again. Sigh as a future sad person.

The eldest princess looked at the little princess: "I know what you are thinking, but the poem is not for the sweetheart, but for his sweetheart's aunt. It is said that this woman's aunt is picky and doesn't want Pei Ziyun to make poems that satirize people. "

"Hmph, he is so good, why should he be picky?" After hearing the news, the little princess stood up from the eldest princess's arms, with a look of injustice on her face.

"You said you didn't forget. I told you to be stubborn, so you lied out." The eldest princess said, with worry in her eyes. She had only met her daughter a few times, but she still had a deep love for her. What should she do

"Mom, what happened next? Tell me." The little princess reached out to push the eldest princess to act coquettishly.

"Later, his sweetheart's aunt agreed and didn't criticize her again. It was very sad!" The eldest princess sighed and said.

"The emperor was speechless for a long time after hearing this." The eldest princess said. Listening to her words, the little princess also laughed.

The little princess laughed for a while, then she suddenly realized what she was doing and stared at her mother: "Mom, are you here to deceive me today? Originally, you didn't allow me to let my servants inquire about his information, so why did you tell me this information today? Do you want me to stop thinking about you?"

"You lose weight every day, and the weight is on you, and it hurts in mother's heart." The eldest princess gently held the little princess in her arms: "He has his sweetheart and his life. You have never really entered his heart." World, no matter how much you miss me, he will never know."

"Mom, stop talking. I'm so sad what you said." The little princess leaned in the arms of the eldest princess and cried. The tears she couldn't stop were either because she hadn't slept well for many days, or she was overjoyed and sad after hearing the news. Crying, he gradually fell asleep.

Seeing that the little princess fell asleep in her arms, the eldest princess and the serving nun carried the little princess to bed.

"These days, I have been preparing food to replenish the blood and qi of the little princess. Talk to the little princess more, do you hear me?" After leaving the small building, the eldest princess's face changed and she loudly scolded the serving maid.

"Yes, Your Highness the Princess." The maidservants all knelt on the ground, trembling, and responded loudly.

In the small building, the little princess opened her eyes, got up from the bed, and gently painted Pei Ziyun's face with a paintbrush. With tears, a drop of tears fell from her eyelashes and dripped on the scroll. , blurred the painting, covered his face again, and cried silently.

The eldest princess turned around a corridor outside, took out a letter from her arms and handed it to the female officer beside her, and said: "Give the poem to Uncle Zhongqin and let him read it to see what he thinks and reads."

"Yes, Your Highness Princess." The female officer took the poem and turned around to deliver the letter to the uncle's house.

"Eldest Princess, why do you have to make things clear today? The little princess is already haggard, so being sad like this is not good for her health." The old lady who followed the eldest princess said.

The little princess was brought up by her old nanny. Before she conquered the world, she was a familiar neighbor and had a close relationship with her. Seeing the little princess at this moment made her feel sad.

Listening to the words of the old nanny, a flash of helplessness and regret flashed in the eyes of the eldest princess: "The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. The prince's reward is a good thing, but it may not be a good thing for Pei Ziyun. Everyone will be dead. Wait for that day, she suddenly heard As for the news, it’s better to expose it now and make her give up, otherwise I don’t know how she will survive when the day comes.”

"If Pei Ziyun doesn't die this time, when the prince ascends the throne, he can be granted a title based on his great achievements. Then he might be able to be with her."

“Whether it’s good or bad, it has to be revealed.”

"Oh, so what if you see through the royal affairs sometimes? You just can't help yourself, so don't tell anyone." The eldest princess sighed and walked forward.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, I know." The old nanny responded.

Zhongqinbo Mansion

"Is Uncle Zhongqin here?" The female official's ox cart stopped at the door of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion.

"Who are you?" The inner door of the uncle's residence opened, and a man came out and saluted the female official.

"I am the female officer in the eldest princess's mansion. The eldest princess ordered me to deliver the letter to your mansion." The female officer stepped forward and showed her waist badge in front of the uncle's mansion, and then handed over the letter. The man quickly stepped forward to check his waist. Card, took the letter, and sent it in again.

Entering the uncle's house, there was a faint sound of sheng, Xiao, Qin and Se. This man seemed to know the location of Uncle Zhongqin and ran directly to the garden. He turned around a few corridors and looked from a distance. He saw a waterside pavilion with white marble railings built in the garden. The stone bridge twists and turns, and stone tables and bamboo chairs are placed under the weeping willows.

"Uncle, just now a female official from the eldest princess's residence came over with a letter." The man stepped forward and handed over the letter.

Uncle Zhongqin, who was feeding the goldfish in the pond, raised his eyebrows with some curiosity in his expression: "What kind of letter did the eldest princess send you?"

Uncle Zhongqin took the letter, took it out and took a look.

"There are fifty strings of brocade strings for no reason, each string and column reminds me of my time."

What comes to mind is a poem. Reading below, Uncle Zhongqin, who originally raised his eyebrows, seemed to be savoring the letter. He read the letter. It said that the master of the Suyue Sect was in trouble for Pei Ziyun, and Pei Ziyun took several steps to write this poem. After reading "Zhongqin Bo", I sighed: "I miss my years every time. I don't miss the past, but I feel sorry for Su Yue."

This statement is incomprehensible and confusing.

"Sir? Did the eldest princess write something important in her letter? What do you look like?" Seeing his uncle's appearance, the housekeeper stepped forward and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that the eldest princess sent me a poem, which was a bit sentimental to read." Uncle Zhongqin said after listening to the words of the person beside him.

"Uncle, who wrote the poem? I just listened to a few lines. It is indeed exquisite. Uncle, don't you comment?" The butler beside him flattered him.

"It's not necessary." Uncle Zhongqin said this in a calm tone. The housekeeper heard it inexplicably. Uncle Zhongqin always loved poems the most. He had collected many poems by Pei Ziyun, who was famous recently. But this time he looked at this poem. Looks like this

The housekeeper followed, a little worried, but didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"King Lu was furious and sent a special envoy to lead the soldiers out. This person is already destined to die and there is no need to comment. What does the eldest princess want to do when she handed over this matter?" Uncle Zhongqin thought to himself.

"You're not just teasing me?"

"Wait, is it possible that the eldest princess still has a glimmer of hope? Do you think Pei Ziyun can survive King Lu's strangulation until the crown prince ascends the throne?"

Uncle Zhongqin had a flash of inspiration, and if he understood something, he couldn't help but laugh. As an uncle who had participated in the founding of the country, he had seen a lot of wars and military affairs. He naturally understood that in this situation, King Lu would get angry and kill Pei Ziyun. No one will stop it—not the emperor, not the prince, not the eldest princess, not even anyone else, even if Pei Ziyun is famous for his poems all over the world!

Pei Ziyun's only hope is to survive the many strangulations until the crown prince ascends to the throne. At that time, the crown prince will give him a grand reward, and then he will be barely qualified to marry the little princess - weird

No, this is politics.

"The eldest princess is a woman after all. She still has a glimmer of hope and has softened her heart towards her daughter."

"However, if Pei Ziyun really survives, what if I give him a recommendation? He can also win the favor of the eldest princess, the prince, Liang Di, and even the emperor's grandson."

"Then, now, just struggle to survive!"

Uncle Zhongqin thought about it and stretched out his hand to throw the letter into the pond. The goldfish in the pond thought it was delicious, so they all came and pecked at the letter. The letter was picked up by the goldfish and floated around, gradually sinking. Go down.
