Donggong: If Li Chengyin remembered first

The East Palace has been turned upside down by me and has nowhere to go.It happened to be the Yuanchen Grand Ceremony in a few days, so I simply entered the fasting palace and prepared with all my heart.

Not wanting to be called by the Empress Dowager in a hurry, she threw me and Xiaofeng into Qingyun Palace and locked them up.The two of us looked at each other in the hall, our expressions were a little cold.

I planned to ease the relationship with her, but she sat down at the table, fiddled with her fingers boringly, and didn't bother to answer me with a word.

I'm a little annoyed.Why is it that she can drink and eat meat with Pei Zhao, but it is difficult for her to talk to me?

But no matter how angry he is, as long as he thinks of Xiliang, the blood rushing to his forehead will instantly cool down, turning into a pool of stagnant water without any waves.Xiaofeng's expression when she saw me for the first time while sitting on the sand dune was entangled with her calm expression after despair when she jumped the river of forgetfulness.

"Xiaofeng? Sing a song for me."

She raised her head to look at me, was taken aback for a moment and said, "I don't know how to sing."

"You sang it to Pei Zhao, just sing that one, I want to hear it."

"Li Chengyin, go to sleep if you have nothing to do!" She was unwilling to sing.

As if I wanted her to do something, she always jumped up and refused me without hesitation.

I sighed and said, "Then I'll tell you a story, will you listen to it?" I don't care if she listens or not, I've already started talking.

"A long time ago, there was a young girl in Zixu Kingdom."

I started, stopped deliberately, and waited for her to ask me if this girl was pretty, as I remembered.

But she didn't make a sound, just looked at me quietly, as if she was waiting for the next story, and she seemed to have no interest in the story.

I had no choice but to continue talking: "She was born very beautiful, and she can also ride a horse. But girls in Zixu country must wear a veil to ride a horse. The veil is..."

She interrupted me and said, "I know, I've seen Zhao Sese wear it before."

"One day, the girl was riding on the street, and the wind blew her hat off. It happened that a gentleman picked up the veiled hat and returned it to the girl. Although the gentleman only met the girl once, But they have already made a promise with each other and agreed to marry."

She interrupted me again and said, "This son is you, and that girl is Zhao Sesur? Who wants to hear your story?"

"Aren't you jealous?" I laughed, and continued the story without waiting for her to refute me.

"This son is the son of a general. He is very brave and good at fighting. Not long after the two agreed to live forever, the son led the army to fight. The girl waited at home. After waiting for many years, the son did not come back. The girl's family is worried. They tried to persuade the girl to marry someone else, but the girl insisted on refusing, and waited stubbornly, but who knows, the young master still didn’t come back, and the young lady waited for the funeral document from the border. The young master died in battle.”

When I said this, I stopped. This is the second time I have told the story of my mother with others, and the audience is always only her.Unlike last time, this time I was much calmer.

Seeing me stop, she immediately became anxious, forgetting the pretended disinterest just now, she came up to me and asked me: "Young master is dead, what will the girl do? She must be very sad."

"She was indeed very sad, but doubts arose in her heart. The son is superb in martial arts, good at using the art of war, and has been fighting all year round. How could he break into an ambush without knowing it, and be easily killed by the enemy, and die in one day? The girl made up her mind to Find out the truth of the matter. But she is a girl, weak and powerless, what should I do? It happened that the king of Zixu Kingdom ordered the selection of concubines, so the girl went to the palace. The girl is beautiful, and she became the king smoothly She is a concubine. She has a gentle temperament and a quick mind. The king loves her very much. The girl took advantage of the king's favor to make friends with officials, and finally got some clues. It turned out that the son was not ambushed by the enemy, but was actually killed by his own people. "

"who is it?"

"It's the queen. Since the girl entered the palace, the queen has been very afraid of the girl's favor, and she also learned about the girl's investigation of the son. It just so happened that the girl gave birth to a prince for the king. So the queen ordered someone to put a drug in the soup. Girl I don’t know. After drinking this medicine, she slowly became weak and died. Before she died, the girl finally found out the cause of the son’s death. She wanted to announce it to the world, but it was too late. The queen put him under house arrest and said that the girl was infected. consumption, and took the prince away."

"Is the girl dead?"

"The girl is dead."

"What about the little prince?"

"The queen doesn't have any children of her own. She took the little prince away and brought him up. The little prince was still young at the time and didn't understand what happened. He regarded the queen as his own mother. But later..."

"Did the little prince know all this afterwards?"

"Yes, he knows. But the little prince is weak, and he can't fight the queen. And the king has many sons. The king is always hesitant to choose among these sons. There are very few princes in Zixu Kingdom. They can live past the age of 30, because once they become crown princes, they will immediately attract the hatred of others, and they will either be assassinated or be suspected by the king, deposed and died in confinement. The East Palace... every inch of the ground is soaked in blood..."

She suddenly changed her face and shivered.I realize I've gone too far.Immediately changed his tone and said: "Guess, can the little prince become the crown prince?"

She didn't speak, she frowned slightly, and looked at me hesitantly.

Did she understand the story?I am not sure.But I breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "Actually, before this, the little prince had an elder brother who took good care of him, and the two had a deep friendship. This elder brother later became the crown prince, and was framed and killed. From then on, the little prince vowed to become the crown prince, to avenge all those who died unjustly. Among these people, there are his mother, his elder brother, and maybe that son."

I said, with bitterness in my chest, I actually laughed, "It's ridiculous that his enemy is also his 'mother', his 'brother', or other people's 'son'."

"But revenge is not so easy. After the little prince became the crown prince, half of his life was in the hands of Hades. The queen began to be wary of him, and the king also challenged him from time to time. The king said, since you are the crown prince, it is natural to have Convinced by his merits, he sent the little prince to a place and asked him to complete a task that was almost impossible to complete."

"What does the king want him to do?"

I laughed, and there was a touch of softness in my tone, "I want him to marry the princess of the neighboring country."

"What's so hard about this?"

"The little prince went. But he didn't seek to marry the princess, he actually went for revenge."

"Revenge?" She seemed confused, and asked, "Didn't the queen kill that girl? What does it have to do with this princess?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter, but the little prince's elder brother was killed by someone who colludes with the princess' father in collusion with the princess's father. So the little prince never wanted to marry the princess from the beginning. It's just that he didn't expect that, He went, and the first time he saw the princess, he couldn't help falling in love with the princess. But he didn't know that it was love. You can't live in the court... He didn't know it was love, so he still disrupted the princess's country for revenge, almost causing her to perish."

"The princess is too pitiful."

"What's even more pitiful is that the princess didn't know anything. She also fell in love with the little prince. Just when the two were about to get married, the princess learned everything. The army besieged the city, and the princess saw her parents being taken away by the little prince. The rebels who come in will kill you." I stopped suddenly and turned to ask her, "If you were this princess, what would you do?"

She was engrossed in listening, and was stunned by my question. After a while, she said softly: "It will be fine if the princess doesn't know anything all the time."
