Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

I didn't rush to reply, but took a look inside the sachet first.

There is something else in it besides spices.

The twelve princesses did not lie to me.

I raised my eyes to look at the prince, his face was expressionless, his brown eyes were staring at me motionlessly.I took a deep breath before speaking the following words.

"I was told that you carry a miniature of a person with you."

The prince's eyes suddenly became sharper, he pulled his lips, but his tone was still unhurried, "What do you want to say?"

"You...you treat me well because I look like, like, the eldest sister?" I stammered out this sentence on purpose.

I admit that I am betting, betting on the prince's heart, betting how much sincerity he treats me, and how much is because of the eldest princess.Lin Chongtan is going to Lingnan soon, I don't have much time.

I deliberately opened the sachet in front of the prince. If he can tolerate my behavior, tolerate me mentioning the eldest princess, or even change his attitude towards me, then I can use the prince as my knife for revenge on Lin Chongtan.

Without the crown prince, Lin Chongtan would not be so prosperous in the capital.The aristocratic children held Lin Chongtan, mostly because of the prince.

When I was Lin Chundi, I was a little bitch who the prince said was a butcher, and Lin Chongtan was a distinguished guest at the prince's banquet.

The prince gave me a statue of Jai Zi, mocking me that I will get revenge.I really want revenge, I just want to see the two of them fight.

If one day, Lin Chongtan finds out that the prince can destroy him for me, how interesting it will be.

Of course, this gamble is very likely to fail. If I fail, I can only exchange the sword of the prince for the emperor, but that is the next best thing to do, but I can't care less about it anymore.

Hearing what I said, the prince reached out and took out the contents of the sachet.I looked along his hand, and it turned out to be a small portrait of the eldest princess.He caressed the little portrait that looked old with his fingertips, and there seemed to be nostalgia in his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the crown prince spoke in a low voice, his words were unprecedentedly serious, "You are not like her, elder sister is soft but tough, although she is a daughter, she is not inferior to any man in the world."

I can hear his admiration for the eldest princess from the prince's mouth, the prince continued.

"When I was seven years old, I went to Luanbai hunting ground to hunt. I was so playful until dark that I met a black bear who had just given birth. At that time, all the guards were dead, and only Gu and elder sister were left. Elder sister hid me In the cave, I went to lure the black bear away by myself. If the Imperial Forest Army hadn’t arrived in time, the elder sister would have died, but she was attacked by a black bear on her back, and the wound that went deep into the bone left her with a scar on her back for the rest of her life.”

Because of the prince's description, I gradually developed a heart of admiration for this eldest princess who had never masked her face.When the prince was seven years old, she was just a teenage girl.

And within a few years, she made diplomatic relations for the two countries, went to a foreign country to make peace, and married a man who had never been masked.

I couldn't help but become silent, for my own tricks.

Should I not take advantage of the prince's feelings for the eldest princess?

When I was struggling, the prince put the small portrait back into the sachet and handed it to me.

I was stunned for a moment, and returned the sachet, "I can't take this, it's very precious, you can keep it for yourself."

At the same time, I wanted to get out of bed and leave, but I was pushed back before my feet touched the ground.The prince clasped my shoulders with his big hands, the palms were scorching hot, and the heat spread to the skin through the clothes on my body.I felt like that piece of skin was going to be burned.

"Since it is given to you, this is yours." The prince said.

I still want to refuse, after all, there is a small portrait of the eldest princess in the sachet, but the crown prince pinched my chin, "With your temperament, do you still want to say that you look like the elder sister? Gu has never seen you like this, squeamish Messy and timid..." He also said a few words, but those words were indistinct, I couldn't hear them clearly, I only knew that he was belittling me.

In normal times, I might get angry with him, but today I feel ashamed because of the eldest princess. I don't think that if I were the eldest princess, I would be half as good as her.

People in the palace are all boasting when they mention the eldest princess.

I bit my lower lip, tacitly acquiesced to the prince's words, rubbed my chin fingers a few times, and the prince's voice followed.

"Just say a few words about you, and you're so coquettish again."

I couldn't help raising my eyelashes to look at the prince, "I, I didn't..."

I couldn't finish the sentence because his fingers touched my lips. If I hadn't closed my mouth in time, I would have almost swallowed his fingers.

The prince's eyes became dark at that moment, and I felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, so I shrank back into the bed.

Fortunately, the prince didn't do anything else, he just stood up and said to me: "It's getting dark, if you don't go back today, your mother and concubine will come to look for someone."

—

It gets dark early in winter, when I go back, Concubine Zhuang Guizhen has been waiting for me for a long time.She is extremely worried about me now, when I returned to Huayang Palace, she looked all over my body, seeing that I was not injured, she was relieved.

After having dinner with Concubine Zhuang, I took out the sachet again. The spice in this sachet is ambergris, and only the emperor and the prince are eligible to use it.

I deliberately mentioned the eldest princess in front of the prince. Not only did he not get angry with me, he even gave me the sachet.

Does this mean that I can use the crown prince to take revenge on Lin Chongtan?

For the next ten days, I will go to the East Palace every day.Concubine Zhuang saw that I was in good spirits every day and I was not sick, so she agreed with me to go to the East Palace.

On this day, the timing of my visit was unlucky, the prince was still on his lunch break.I asked the palace servants not to report, and walked into the prince's bedroom alone.

The prince was lying on the bed, and he looked much more approachable when he was asleep than when he was awake. The hostility in his eyebrows and eyes was gone, and he was only beautiful.

I stared at him for a while, turned around and was about to leave when my wrist was grabbed.

The prince didn't know when he woke up, and suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me, "When did you come?"

There was sleepiness in his voice.

"Just here." I wanted to pull out my hand, "Go on to sleep, I won't disturb you, I'll go out."

As soon as the word "go" was said, one arm wrapped around my waist and dragged me onto the bed.

While taking off my shoes, the prince stuffed me under the quilt, "Sleep with Gu Gu for a while."

He took off his shoes and came to take off my coat again.I felt strange and couldn't help holding his hand, "I'm not sleepy."

"But Gupin, Gu will give you lessons every day, and you can take a nap with Gu, can't you?" He squinted at me, his upturned eyes were inexplicably charming.

I pursed my lips, and finally compromised: "Then, then I will undress myself."

Hearing this, the prince let go of me, I sat up on the bed, and started to take off my robe.I could feel his eyes on me, but I just pretended not to notice, and after I lowered my head and took off my coat, I slowly crawled into the quilt with the idea that I could store it up for a moment.

I only took off my outer robe, and there were several other clothes besides my pajamas.

The ground dragon was burning in the hall, and a few Tang women were placed in the soft quilt. I was hot and sweated soon, and my temples were a little wet.The prince next to him suddenly said, "Isn't it hot?"

I didn't speak, I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.After a while, I felt the person next to me move. I waited for a long time before the prince said anything else, so I quietly opened my eyes.And as soon as I opened my eyes, I met the prince's gaze.

He was standing up and looking at me. Seeing me open my eyes, he touched my temples with his fingers, "Does my brother wear so much to heat himself up? Or is it because my brother is afraid of being alone, so he wears so much?"

He spoke so bluntly that I couldn't continue to wear so much, so I could only say no in a low voice, and then took off the extra clothes on my body.

Lying in the Prince's bed again, I didn't feel sleepy at all, so I couldn't help tossing and turning.When I turned over again and wanted to face the outside, a hand behind me pulled me into an embrace.I froze all over, but the man behind me was extremely calm, I could even feel his warm breath on the back of my neck.

The prince only made this one movement, and didn't move any more.Gradually, he seemed to be fast asleep, and his breathing became more stable, while I was more awake than before. It was obviously the time when I was sleepy at noon, and even for me, being hugged by the prince became extremely long, and I felt extremely uncomfortable .

After some time, the prince finally woke up.The first thing he did when he woke up was to hug me tighter. Just as I was about to struggle, he took a deep breath, let me go, and got up and got out of bed.

The palace people outside heard the sound of the prince getting up, and hurried into the inner hall to wait on him.I also hurriedly got up, and when the palace servants were serving me to dress, the crown prince asked beside me, "Why didn't you wear the sachet that I gave you?"

"You're ambergris, I can't wear it casually." When I said this, I glanced at the prince's waist. He was wearing my sachet.

The prince snorted, "It's just wearing a sachet, who dares to tell you, let him come to see Gu."

I thought about it, and finally chose a compromise.I replaced the spices in the prince's sachet with those I used in the past, and I also packed the little portrait of the eldest princess in a box.

While I was going to the East Palace for more than ten consecutive days, Lin Chongtan also gave me more and more envelopes, and in the end, it was almost a day.

Seeing that the day when Lin Chongtan went to Lingnan was getting closer, I finally went to see him.On the day I met him, I didn't go to the East Palace.

I haven't been to Zangshuge for nearly a month. Near the end of the year, Zangshuge without a carbon stove is getting colder.I asked Niu Xi to wait in the side room of Zangshu Pavilion, and went up the steps by myself.As soon as I reached the seventh floor, I saw Lin Chongtan.

He was wearing a dark blue crane cloak today, with a red top and white crane pattern on his fine clothes.When he saw me, his handsome eyebrows and eyes fluctuated slightly, and then he looked behind me, and when he saw no one, he held my hand, "Xiaodi, let's talk inside."

Lin Chongtan wants to take me to the rest pavilion on the seventh floor.The Xiaoxi Pavilion was temporarily arranged because Lin Chongtan always stayed in the Library Pavilion.

I was pulled forward by Lin Chongtan for a few steps, and I couldn't help but want to pull my hand back, but when I pulled my hand, Lin Chongtan used even more strength.

"Lin Chongtan!" I yelled in pain.

He paused, and his hand let out a little strength, I quickly withdrew my hand, but the next moment he actually picked me up and walked into the nap pavilion.

As soon as he entered the Rest Pavilion, Lin Chongtan closed the small door.I was carried to the beauty's couch and put down. Immediately afterwards, he took out a booklet from the mezzanine of the desk next to the couch.

I don't understand why I watched Lin Chongtan open the booklet in front of me.

"This is my summary of everything about Lingnan. Although it is rumored that Lingnan is poor, in fact Lingnan is far underestimated by the world. In time, the life of the people there may not be worse than that of people in Jinling, Gusu and other places." I said.

He told me a lot about Lingnan, took out a map, and pointed to a place next to Lingnan——Yu Ling.

I listened with disinterest, and when I heard the latter, I was really impatient, "Why are you telling me this?"

Lin Chongtan fixed his eyes on me, "Xiaodi, follow me to Lingnan."

When I heard this sentence, I immediately knocked the brochure in front of him, "I don't want to go to Lingnan with you, and... and I'm the prince now, I can't go to Lingnan with you."

"Yes, Xiaodi, you have reached the age to ask the emperor to give you a fief. Of course, the fief you asked for cannot be Lingnan. Yuling, not far from Lingnan, is a good fief." Lin Chongtan paused, "I'm really worried about keeping you in the capital, Xiaodi, come with me."

"There is nothing to worry about. I have a mother and concubine and a father in the capital. I am the ninth prince." I lowered my head, "The prince is also very kind to me now. You have only been to Lingnan for three or five years. In three or five years, you Come back again, I will wait for you in the capital."

After hearing what I said, Lin Chongtan's tone suddenly became serious, "Do you think the prince is a good person, he..."

He stopped suddenly in the middle of his words, and reached for the sachet on my waist.He recognized that the sachet belonged to the crown prince, I watched Lin Chongtan's fingers tremble slightly.

"What happened to him?" I asked.

Lin Chongtan didn't continue what he said just now, and I seemed to hear his gnashing of teeth at that moment.

"Tansheng." I called him again.

This sound finally woke Lin Chongtan from his silence. He took the booklet back and wanted to continue persuading me to go to Lingnan with him.

"Xiaodi, I guarantee that if you go to Lingnan with me, the life will not be worse than in the capital. There are endless fruits and animals we have never seen before. You are afraid of the cold since you were young. Lingnan is not cold, but it is warm in all seasons. We can live in a house on stilts, and when we are free, we can go to see the sea, or even go out to sea.”

Lin Chongtan took several more scrolls and spread them out in front of me one by one. The paintings should be made by him himself. The paintings are excellent and lifelike.

The first one is a picture of the spring scene, the brilliant yellow of the yellow bellwood, the light purple of the Bauhinia, and the pink of the green peach, etc. merge into a bright mountain scene, and a stream sparkling in the sunlight flows from top to bottom.There is a villain in the painting, but there is no face in the picture.Playfully, he soaked his feet in the water and let the silk shoes be washed away by the water.

The second picture is a picture of a summer night. The building in the painting is probably the stilted building mentioned by Lin Chongtan. Several tall pillars prop up the Daiwa wooden building built around the stone steps. The red lanterns are swaying with the night wind, and there are still A villain whose face cannot be seen clearly.He was like a cat, lying lazily on the floor, with rolled up wide sleeves revealing his white arms, with a basin full of melons and fruits in front of his arms.

The third picture is an autumn picture, with red maples and ginkgoes adorning the green landscape, egrets adorning the sky like stars, smoke from cooking in the distance, and willow garden flowers in the near.The peacocks roamed the back yard, and there was an animal I had never seen before in the painting.They had a pair of big ears like a cattail fan, unusually long noses, and white teeth growing out like fangs. They stepped on the mud happily. The little man not far away was peeking behind the tree. Sitting a little monkey with black hair and white face.

The last one is a picture of warm winter. The villain is lying on the window and looking out. There is no snow outside the window, and the green mountains are still green, just like another spring day. Only the little white cat curled up in the room and sleeping on the owner's clothes can vaguely reveal that it is winter.

Lin Chongtan's intentions can be seen in every painting. He tried his best to describe a beautiful Lingnan to me, and I couldn't help being moved by the scenery in the painting for a moment.But I quickly restrained my face and looked away.

Seeing my reaction, Lin Chongtan guessed that I would not be shaken just because of these paintings. He was silent for a while, and took the initiative to say something that I shouldn't know.

"I went to Lingnan not because I was demoted, but because I was ordered to go to Lingnan for training. After staying for a few years, I will return to the capital. When I really gain a foothold in the capital, then Xiaodi can come back."

Since ancient times, princes with fiefdoms have not been allowed to enter Beijing casually. Entering Beijing without authorization is to rebel. What kind of confidence does Lin Chongtan dare to say such a thing?

"Since you will come back in a few years, why should I go to Lingnan with you? The capital is pretty good, so you don't have to worry about me. No one dares to bully me now. I'm no longer Lin Chundi."

What I said made Lin Chongtan's eyes tremble. I saw pain, irritability and anxiety in his eyes. He pursed his lips, and even unconsciously squeezed the hand holding the painting.I have never seen Lin Chongtan like this.In front of me, most of the time he is considered exhaustive.

It seems that he really wanted to take me out of the capital, but this urgency made him lose his composure.

I admired Lin Chongtan's expression for a while, and then gently pulled down his sleeve, "However, my body is a bit strange recently, I dare not see the imperial doctor, Tansheng, can you help me have a look?"

The latter sentence, I whispered in his ear, "Sometimes there will be, there will be water running down there, so... strange."

Lin Chongtan and I were the only ones on the seventh floor of Zangshu Pavilion. The rest pavilion was not big, and the closed windows cut off the cold wind.After I finished that sentence, I quickly withdrew my hand and closed my lips, pretending that it wasn't me who said those bold words just now.
