The Times Spent in Pretense

Chapter 11: Look at the next dish

Views:

Hua Liuli, surrounded by sympathetic eyes, adapts well. She has long been used to how many people have seen her like this since she was a child.

Before coming to the capital, she heard her mother mention some court rumors. Twenty-one years ago, the three concubines in the palace were pregnant in the same month. I don't know when rumors suddenly spread from the harem that if anyone gave birth to the eldest son, the sage would consecrate him as the prince.

I don't know if the three concubines believed such unreliable rumors. Anyway, King Ying and King Ning were born on the same day and at the same hour, and the prince was born seven days later.

Hua Liuli felt that this kind of rumor was unreliable, but no one with a brain would believe it. Today's sage is not a faint and incompetent person, how can he make a newborn baby a prince.

It took less than half a cup of tea for the King of England and the Crown Prince to sit together, and she could see that the two brothers were not very harmonious. The King of England was unwilling and patient, like a sparrow who wanted to fight an eagle.

Ambitious, but lacking in ability, but always thinking about when the eagle can be scratched off with one claw.

She stopped holding the snack and ate two more pieces, a little tired.

In the eyes of others, it was the Crown Prince who stopped Queen Ying, and the Hua County Lord was finally not so afraid, so he stopped eating snacks.

"County Lord, drink some water." Iris handed a cup of warm water to Hua Liuli worriedly. The two masters and servants were like pitiful bullies who dared not speak out.

King of England: "..."

He obviously didn't do anything, how could he act like an unpardonable wicked man in front of the master and servant

"Please don't misunderstand the county magistrate. This king is here today, and he has nothing to do but apologize to you." King Ying was born with a bad temper, but when he met Shang Hua Liuli's timid eyes, his temper disappeared without a trace. "Please take care of your health, the county head. After Dali Temple brings the murderer to justice, this king will come to visit you again."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the prince: "Prince, I still have something to do, farewell."

The prince didn't mean to keep him: "Oh, walk slowly."

"Where are you going?" The Queen Mother came in from outside the door, followed by a few palace maids holding trays, "Everyone has come, and they all stay at Ai's house for dinner."

Hua Liuli stood up, stepped forward and helped the Queen Mother to go inside.

"Aijia just wanted to have someone go to the side hall to call you, but I didn't expect you to be here." The queen mother took Hua Liuli's hand, "I just sent the clothes made by Xiu Niang, all of them are yours, go and pick them from the back. One to try."

The King of England felt an inexplicable headache when he looked at the colorful clothes held by the maids. But in front of the Queen Mother, he had to be careful to please, so he stood beside him with a smile on his face, pretending that he was not impatient.

"This set of light water pink is good, and with a white cloak, the county lord Hua is the most beautiful little girl in the entire harem." The prince glanced at the pile of clothes, "Grandma, why didn't you have me this time?"

"Is there anything in your East Palace?" The Queen Mother held Hua Liuli in her arms, "Besides, how can you stinky little girls like you, these fabrics are a waste for you to use."

"Liu Li, don't you think so?" After burying her grandson, the queen mother did not forget to find an ally.

"You're right." Hua Liuli stood in line quickly and joined the Queen Mother League without hesitation.

Turning her head, she saw a plate of desserts on the coffee table, and she ate more than half of the desserts.

In the blink of an eye, she covered her stomach, making her smile paler and weaker. Although I am very weak, the momentum that I will try to be strong is very important.

King Ying noticed Hua Liuli's actions, and his heart suddenly softened, feeling a little regretful.

If she is not Hua Yingting's daughter, it seems that there is nothing wrong with marrying her.

"Come on, pick one and put it on first, and I'll ask the maid to take the rest to your room." The Queen Mother was so persistent in dressing up Hua Liuli that she changed two sets of clothes every day in Shoukang Palace, and the Queen Mother still felt that she Not enough clothes.

Hua Liuli was also willing to accompany the queen mother to toss and began to pick up clothes.

After reading all the clothes, she picked out the one the prince said. Although she doesn't have much hope for men's aesthetics, she still has to give the prince face at this time.

Probably because she doesn't like the King of England very much, and the King of England is not very good at dealing with the prince. The enemy of this kind of enemy is my friend's mentality, and it does not need rationality to measure.

Seeing Hua Liuli picking and choosing, and finally choosing the one she just mentioned, the prince has a subtle sense of accomplishment. This little girl in the flower family is really lovable.

The King of England felt that the ugliest thing in the pile of clothes was the gouache pink skirt. It is neither embroidered with beautiful flowers, nor embellished with pearls and jewels, and even the colors are not bright enough.

He glanced at the prince, and if his vision is not good, don't make up his mind.

But after Hua Liuli changed her clothes and came out, King Ying felt that the daughter of the Hua family was really beautiful, and she could wear such an ugly skirt so well.

But if you can change to an embroidered flower skirt, it will definitely be more beautiful.

In terms of aesthetics, the King of England has always insisted on his own pride.

With the Queen Mother, King Ying and Prince Ying finally maintained their friendship and brotherhood after a meal, but from that day on, Hua Liuli never saw the Prince and Prince Ying again.

The princes would come to the court every three to five to greet the queen mother, and she was still lying in bed "recuperating". When she got up, the princes had already gone to court.

She felt that the reason why the queen mother had to go to bed every afternoon was that she woke up too early in the morning.

It is not easy to be the queen mother, even the most respected woman in the palace, the rules that should be followed cannot be violated.

In the blink of an eye, she stayed in Shoukang Palace for more than ten days. The queen mother was worried that she would be bored in Shoukang Palace every day, and her body would get bored. Taking advantage of the sun on this day, she let her go out for a walk.

"Walk a hundred steps after dinner, and live to nine hundred and ninety-nine." The queen mother smiled and taught Hua Liuli, and then she turned to lie on Feng's bed with satisfaction and took a nap.

Hua Liuli: "..."

The Royals are not at all euphemistic when it comes to showing double standards.

The winter sun was not too warm on the body, Hua Liuli walked on the palace road, looked up at the high palace wall, and stopped.

"County Lord, what are you looking at?" Iris saw Hua Liuli stopped and rushed up.

"I'm looking at how high the wall is."

"It doesn't matter how high the wall inside is." Iris whispered in her ear, "The slave has already seen it. Although these walls look high, they are not thick enough, and they can be penetrated with a heavy ballista."

"The most sturdy wall is the outer wall of the palace. It cannot be penetrated by external force. If you want to attack, you must cooperate with the inside and the outside." Iris said seriously, "And it is useless to attack from the main gate. There is an escape channel at the northwest gate. The stakes are high, and whether things work or not, it's not good for your reputation."

Hua Liuli rubbed her chin thoughtfully, and turned her head to look at Iris after a long time: "If you say what we say is heard by outsiders, will you think that we are conspiring against the palace?"

Iris: "… "

Isn't this a habit of guarding the city and winning the gate with the lady.

"Oh." Hua Liuli coughed dryly, clutching her chest and said, "Today is still a weak day."

"County Lord, you are weak, and the servants will support you." The two masters and servants looked away from the city wall, pretending that the conversation just now had never happened.

"Hua Liuli, stop."

Hua Liuli looked at Iris: Does this sound sound familiar

Iris shook her head: When I heard this tone, it was not very friendly.

The two turned around in unison and looked at the Princess Jiamin who strode here.

"Jiamin County Lord is good." Hua Liuli smiled at the other party, "I wonder why the County Lord asked me to stay, why is it so expensive?"

Princess Jiamin: "..."

When did she say the word "please"

Jiamin County Master is good at riding and archery, and has a fiery personality. He came to Hua Liuli in a few steps, and took pity on the little maids behind her. In order to catch up with her, he was so tired that he was out of breath and didn't dare to complain at all.

"It's only a few steps?" Princess Jiamin heard the gasps of the maids, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so useless?"

Hua Liuli: Wow, this outspoken county master has learned to scold Sang and scolded Huai, and he has made progress!

The little girls didn't dare to speak, they lowered their heads and Ren Jiamin disliked them.

"Go back and practice riding and shooting for me. I'm angry when I see you like this." Jiamin finished scolding the maid, and turned to Hua Liuli, "Hua County Lord, I didn't say what you meant."

Hua Liuli showed a gentle smile of "I understand, I understand".

"I came to the county chief today to wake you up with a few words." The county chief Jiamin said straight to the point, "It is impossible for Concubine Xian to let you marry His Royal Highness King Ying. Don't be delusional."

The expression on Hua Liuli's face was dull for a moment: "What does the princess mean?"

Among the four princes she had met, the prince was unparalleled in beauty, and the fifth prince was as gentle as jade, but it turned out that the prince of this county was not the best-looking British king

Even radish and cabbage, each has their own love, and has little to do with others, and she doesn't like to meddle in her own business. But there is no sign of her marriage with the King of England at all. She just said that she wants to marry the King of England. Who is she insulting

She thought that the other party came to her to repay the shameful revenge on Mei Yan, but she didn't expect that it was to rob a man

What a pity, a beautiful girl, not only has a bad brain, but also has bad eyesight, it's really not easy to live.

"I am a straight person. If there is something I don't like to hide, I will say it directly." County Master Jiamin said, "A squeamish and useless woman like you is not worthy of His Royal Highness the King of England."

"Has the county master ever faced the saint?" Hua Liuli asked without answering.

"What do you mean by that? My mother is Princess Shun'an, and she is the younger sister of the Sage. Naturally, she often sees His Majesty." Princess Jiamin was a little proud.

"Then Your Majesty treats you very generously." Hua Liuli smiled sweetly, "The county master speaks so frankly and acts so ruthlessly, but he does not offend Longyan. Your Majesty is indeed a rare monarch who has never been seen in a thousand years."

"You talk nonsense, our whole family is loyal to His Majesty, how can there be any disrespect."

"I misunderstood." Hua Liuli smiled and rolled her eyes, "It turns out that the county master is not someone who doesn't understand etiquette." To say that he is straight is just looking at the dishes, beating the strong and bullying the weak.

How can a weak woman like her afford it

"Are you deliberately burying me?!" The Princess Jiamin was so angry that her eyebrows stood on end.

Hua Liuli opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe her: "Sister Princess, why do you think so?"

"I am young, and I have been in poor health since I was a child. I rarely have the chance to contact outsiders. If there is something wrong, don't take it to heart." Hua Liuli covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "I heard that King Ying Hearty and airy, you must also like girls who are hearty like him, right?"

"Hua Liuli, don't think I don't hit women!" Jiamin never liked women who were soft and weak when the wind blew, but she never imagined that there was such a disgusting existence in the world as Hua Liuli. A line or even a smile can step on her temper.

She felt that the words "Have the ability to hit me" were written all over the other party's body, which stimulated her brain to buzz.

"What are you doing?" The King walked in through the side door of the palace wall.

Jiamin, who had no time to put away her anger, saw King Ying appear, and then looked at Hua Liuli, who looked like "I'm wronged but I just won't say it". For the first time, she felt what a real slut was.

The author has something to say: Hua Liuli: You can scold me, but you can't insult my taste in men. The weak and helpless me is still so innocent and harmless today~

County Master Jiamin: Vomit, bah!
