Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

I avoided Lin Chongtan's sight and looked to the side. When I heard Lin Chongtan say the first word, I quickly walked around him and walked forward.

When I brushed against his shoulder, I paused a little.

I didn't continue to attend the rest of the class, and found an excuse that I was not feeling well, and went back to the palace early, but I didn't expect the twelve princesses to be there.

When she saw me, her eyes became extremely bright, she lifted her skirt and ran to my side, "Brother Jiuhuang, you are finally back."

Concubine Zhuang was sitting on the chair under the window, and smiled gently when she saw this, "Princess Twelve has been talking about why you haven't come back."

Since the discovery of my kidnapping last time, I couldn't help being a bit colder towards Princess Twelve. I don't know if she was involved in my kidnapping, but she is the prince's younger sister after all.

I gave a slight nod to Princess Twelve, and walked to the side of Concubine Zhuang. She was copying Buddhist scriptures recently, and her neck often ached. I had learned to press the stilts at home, but I hadn't had time to do it for my mother.

Concubine Zhuang noticed that I was massaging her shoulders, and turned her head to smile at me.The twelve princesses looked at me, then at Concubine Zhuang Gui, and then they also came over, "Madam Zhuang Gui, I will press it for you too."

"This is not good, my daughter is tender, so I don't want to do these jobs." Concubine Zhuang said to the twelve princesses with a smile.The twelve princesses nodded slowly, then looked at my face again, seeing that I was only concentrating on pressing Concubine Zhuang, so she sat down beside her.

The smoke from the incense burner was lingering, I was only serious about massaging Concubine Zhuang, but I heard a soft sob.Concubine Zhuang put down her pen first, and wiped away the tears of the twelve princesses with a handkerchief, "Little ancestor, why are you crying so well?"

The twelve princesses looked at me while weeping, without saying a word.I frowned and pursed my lower lip, and could only put my hands down, "My concubine wants to copy Buddhist scriptures, maybe the twelve emperors are bored, I'll take her to drink fruit tea."

"Okay, you two go play." Before I left, Concubine Zhuang patted my hand. I knew what she meant and gave her a comforting smile.

I am not a young child, how can I let her protect everything, and Princess Twelve is just a little girl.

I took the twelve princesses to the South Pavilion and ordered the palace servants to bring fruit tea and snacks. The twelve princesses were really greedy, even though they were still crying, they still wanted to eat the snacks with clean hands, and looked at me after taking a bite.After eating, she came over aggrieved, "Brother Jiuhuang, why are you so indifferent to me?"

My temper has dissipated a lot because of her gluttony. It turned out that I also wanted to be a good brother, "No, it's just hot."

Hearing what I said, Princess Twelve breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately hugged my arm affectionately. I couldn't help but froze, "Sister Twelve Emperor, you...you are too old now, you shouldn't..."

"No, I'm still young." The twelve princesses puffed up her cheeks unhappily. She grew up in a honey pot, and her every move was innocent, "Besides, even if I am eighteen, I can still hug you like this." Brother Nine Emperors."

I was choked by her absurd words, and I didn't know what to say for a moment.She hugged me with one arm, and stared at me with her chin resting on the other hand.I held back for a while, but I couldn't hold it back anymore, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

The twelve princesses shook their heads like a rattle, but continued to stare at me after shaking their heads.I asked helplessly, "Then why do you keep staring at me?"

"I..." Princess Twelve bit her lower lip, "If I'm telling the truth, Brother Ninth Emperor, don't be angry with me."

"You say it."

"I think Brother Nine Emperors looks a bit like my elder sister who married Mongolia far away from the palace."

The twelve princesses refer to the eldest princess, who has been married for six years and was 20 years old when she left the palace.

I couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then thought that the Ninth Prince's face was exactly the same as mine, and that the eldest princess is the emperor's daughter, so it's normal for me to be somewhat similar to her.

After the twelve princesses mentioned the Eldest Princess, they were quite depressed, "I miss Eldest Sister a little bit, when will Father take Eldest Sister back?"

The eldest princess married far away to Mongolia, and under normal circumstances, she would not be able to return to her homeland.But I didn't want to make Twelve Princesses sadder, so I asked Niu Xi who was next to me to bring some more snacks.

"Actually, the elder brother and I miss the elder sister very much. The elder brother told me that he will definitely bring the elder sister back. When the time comes, the elder sister will not have to go anywhere, and will stay in the palace for the rest of her life."

The words of the twelve princesses didn't catch my attention until she murmured in a low voice behind her, "Brother Prince can definitely do it, he misses Eldest Sister so much, he takes the little portrait of Eldest Sister with him."

I couldn't help but startled.

Take the portrait of the eldest lady with you?If the age is still young, you can still use the excuse of missing, but the crown prince has already reached the crown, no matter how good the relationship with brothers and sisters is, it seems that ordinary people will not reach this point.

For some reason, my heart beat faster for a moment.I turned my head to stare at Princess Twelve, wondering if she was lying, but she didn't look at me at this moment, she was downcast like a puppy, with her chin on the table.

I have been thinking about why the prince hates me as soon as he sees me, and what he said——

"Gu hates people who imitate others, and doves occupy magpies' nests."

I thought he was saying that I followed Lin Chongtan and occupied Lin Chongtan's land, but it didn't seem to be the case.I tried my best to make myself look the same as before, and casually asked, "Is the eldest sister and the prince on good terms?"

"Okay, very good, the elder brother of the crown prince used to call the elder sister the eldest sister. At that time, the elder sister married far away in Mongolia, and the elder brother of the crown prince was ill for seven days. The whole imperial hospital was at a loss. Finally, the national teacher came , he cured the illness of the elder brother of the prince." The twelve princesses also said to me, "The elder brother of the prince was not so bad-tempered before, but now he is necrotic, and occasionally even bullies me."

I thought for a while, "Is there a portrait of Eldest Sister in the palace?"

The Twelve Princesses thought for a while, "I also have a small portrait of Elder Sister."

She took the portrait of the eldest princess the next day. I saw the woman on the portrait and found that the twelve princesses were not lying. My eyebrows and eyes were indeed somewhat similar to the eldest princess.

I tried to cover the lower half of my face, and Princess Twelve let out an ah in surprise.

"Like it?" I asked her.

She nodded hurriedly.

I looked at the small portrait for a while before returning it to the twelve princesses, and said carefully: "You should not tell me about the portrait of Miss Dahuang. The crown prince respects Miss Dahuang. If you know us Discussing in private whether Elder Sister looks like a big man like me will probably blame us."

The twelve princesses seemed to be imagining the prince losing his temper, and after a few breaths, she nodded in agreement, "I won't say anything." She stared at me for a while, and then said, "Brother Nine Emperors, then there is something wrong between us." It's a little secret, others say that two people with a little secret have a good relationship, I will come to you in the future, you won't ignore me, will you?"

"No." I paused, and said two words, "Song Song."

At night, I lay in bed thinking about things.

Is it possible that the crown prince's targeting of me has nothing to do with Lin Zhongtan, but the eldest princess.He called me a little butcher, maybe because he thought I had ruined the image of the eldest princess in his heart, even though I have nothing to do with the eldest princess, only the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar.

The prince may have feelings for sister.

Because of this guess, I myself was so astonished that I couldn't fall asleep for half a night. I only read this kind of absurd and unethical thing in Liangji's storybook.

Does the prince really have other thoughts about his own sister?

If there is, this may become the key to my separation between him and Lin Chongtan.

I turned over again on the bed, looking at the lotus flower hollowed out and twisted branch incense ball hanging down from the bed tent, my mind gradually settled.

I want to try the prince.

In order to avenge Lin Chongtan, I am willing to risk anything.A few days later is an opportunity -

The birthday of the Ninth Prince.

Ninth Prince's birthday is one month earlier than mine.

As early as a few days ago, Concubine Zhuang Guifei told me that she and the emperor wanted to celebrate my birthday, and asked me if I made any friends in Taixue, and if I had a good time, please come to the palace to have fun.

I thought about it and said, "There are a few."

"Which family are they sons of?" Zhuang Guifei asked.

After I reported my family name, she asked me if I knew my friend's preferences so that she could make arrangements.

"I know one, he likes to eat sweets, and he likes lotus soup the most." I said to Concubine Zhuang.

Ever since I bumped into Lin Chongtan and came back that day, I didn't go to Taixue again, I just read books in the palace, and the invitation to the palace banquet was sent out two days in advance.As a token of respect, the invitations sent to Taixue were written by myself.

On the day of my birthday, the prince came to my palace ahead of schedule, "Brother, happy birthday."

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and someone from the palace brought in the things covered in red cloth.

"See if Xi likes Gu's gift." The prince signaled me to tear off the red cloth myself.

I glanced at him before walking slowly to the red cloth and tearing it off.The thing behind the red cloth made me startled. It was the statue of Yazi, the second son of the dragon.Yazi has the head of a leopard and the body of a dragon. It is recorded in ancient books that he is bloodthirsty and has a fierce and aggressive nature.

"Do you like it?" the prince asked again.

I stretched out my hand to lightly touch Yazi's head, then withdrew my hand, "I don't like it."

The prince seemed a little surprised, "My younger brother doesn't like it. When I saw this statue of Yazi, I thought of my younger brother and bought it back."

I looked up at him, and he blinked at me lightly, telling me clearly that he did it on purpose.I was silent for a while, then changed my words, "I didn't like it at first, but since it was given by the prince brother, then I like it."

I turned my head and told the palace servants behind me, "Put this in my bedroom."

When the prince heard me calling him brother prince, his expression was a little unclear, and when he heard that I was going to put the statue of Yazi in the bedroom, he looked at me with deep meaning.I just pretended I didn't see it, and went back to the original position to pick up the book on the desk.

"I don't understand one thing, I wonder if the prince brother can explain one or two for me."

The prince stared at me for a while before walking to my side, "Where?"

Although the crown prince attends classes in Taixue, his literary classes are all taught by Taifu himself, so he can be regarded as a real talent.I asked him all the things I couldn't understand, and he was dry at the end of the talk, and when he saw that I still wanted to ask, he said a little speechless: "I've been here talking to you all morning, and you didn't even give me a cup of tea. drink?"

I heard that I poured him a cup of tea with my own hands, the crown prince glanced at me before taking the tea, but I didn't let him take a few sips, and continued to ask him.

Until noon, I felt that the question was almost done, so I closed the book, "I'm going to have lunch, brother Prince, go back on your own."

The prince held back his temper for a long time and finally couldn't hold it back. He sneered, "Kill the donkey?"

"No, it's just that I didn't prepare my bones today." After I finished speaking, I left, not giving the prince a chance to reply.

When I returned to the side hall, the crown prince had already left.I pretended that I hadn't intended to break the teacup used by the prince, and the palace servants came to clean it up immediately.

The palace banquet is held in the Xiangqu Hall, which is named after the Fuqu. A pond of Fuqu meets the lotus leaves in the sky. The fragrance fills the sleeves without taking a deep breath. The clear brilliance is reflected in the water, and the water surface is reflected.The palace lanterns that are lit at night sway gently with the wind, like a pen on a fairy's ear.

Today was supposed to be the coronation ceremony of the nine princes, but the national teacher said that I was weak and needed to hold the coronation ceremony a year later in order to keep my lifespan down.

This is the first time I participated in a banquet where I was the main character. The civil and military officials attending the banquet, regardless of whether they knew me before or what they were thinking, would come over with wine to toast me, respectfully call me Nine Princes, and say something flattering Scene talk.

There is fruit wine mixed with a lot of water in my wine glass, even if it is like this, after a round of wine, my face can't help but get hot.

Niu Xi prepared anti-alcohol medicine early in the morning, and I took half of it under the cover of my sleeve.Just after eating, Nie Wenle came over with a wine glass.

He seems to have dressed up specially today, with blue underwear and gauze jacket, his face is handsome, when toasting me, he whispered to me: "Don't drink too much, be careful of headache tomorrow."

I smiled at him, and took a sip of the fruit wine in front of me.

His eyes are even hotter, but because this is the palace, he can only lower his eyes and walk away from me.

I breathed a sigh of relief and gritted my teeth in annoyance.

Another quarter of an hour later, I got up and went to Concubine Zhuang.Concubine Zhuang also attended tonight, but because she was a concubine in the harem, a screen was placed in her seat to cover her face.

"Concubine Mu, it's so boring here." I told her.

Concubine Zhuang Gui laughed, "Do you want to play with your little friends?" She turned her eyes to look at the nearby emperor, "Go, your father and mother will tell you for you."

I nodded, got up and went out through the side door of Xiangqu Palace.Niu Xi followed me with a palace lantern, and scattered to a pavilion in the Xiangyu Temple. I said something to Niu Xi, and Niu Xi nodded and left, while I sat crookedly on the pavilion pillar with the palace lantern .

Not long after, I heard someone calling me.

"Nine princes."

I looked sideways at the sound. Today's banquet not only invited Nie Wenle, but also all the students in the same class, including Lin Chongtan.

Lin Chongtan was dressed in a frost-colored cloud brocade dress, with long hair hanging from his waist, which was shimmered by the palace lanterns hanging in the corridor.He has a good face, even on today's occasion, I noticed that many people looked sideways at him.

Without mentioning the palace lantern, he walked up to me and took out a brocade box from his sleeve, "Today is the Ninth Prince's birthday, I have something I want to give to the Ninth Prince, this thing is warm in winter and cool in summer, you can take it with you."

Inside the brocade box is a jade stone.

I have heard that the best fisherman in the world is not the one with the best fishing skills, but the one who is the most patient and can afford to waste time with the fish.

I didn't reach out, just stared at the jade.

Seeing my reaction, Lin Chongtan said in a lower voice, "I have no other intentions, I just want you to accept this."

He should also see my habit of being afraid of heat, even now, I can't help but shake the wind with a fan.I slowly moved my eyes away, and the movement of fanning gradually slowed down, as if I was drinking.

Not long after, I felt a hand caress my face with a silk handkerchief, and that hand carefully wiped the fine sweat from my temples. After I let him wipe it twice, I resisted and turned my face away.

Lin Chongtan withdrew his hand and sat opposite me without saying a word.The sound of cicadas kept ringing in my ears, and my hand that was not holding the palace lantern curled up slightly, and after a while, I turned my eyes to look at Lin Chongtan.

He was staring at me all the time, and when he saw me looking over, his eyes seemed to darken a bit, and then he slowly leaned over.

The scent of medicine on Lin Chongtan's body hugged me, his kiss first landed on my cheek, and then on the corner of my lips, when I was about to kiss my lips, I suddenly struggled, the palace lantern and fan in my hand fell to the ground , but because of drinking and the weakness of the body itself, the strength of the struggle is weak and weak.

I noticed that Lin Chongtan's breathing became heavier, and when he was about to kiss my lips again, I pretended to be drunk and scared but said disgustedly: "No, don't...Brother Prince..."

Lin Chongtan's body froze immediately.
