Man, the more I sleep, the more I want to sleep.

I turned over lazily, and suddenly heard a crisp "bang dang", if I had fur on my body, I would definitely be shocked.

There is no fur to fry, only hair, which is dry and scratched on the face, making me itchy.I rubbed my nose and sneezed, a not-so-young maid opened the curtain and came in, looking at me with surprise and joy: "The princess is awake?!"

I sat up, touched my temple, which was still throbbing with pain, and asked, "What's going on outside?"

It seems that I haven't spoken for a long time, my voice is a little hoarse, and I coughed while pinching my throat.

The maid kept her eyes on me and saw that I was no longer coughing, so she replied: "It's nothing, the new palace servant is ignorant and knocked over the vase."

I pressed the sides of my head, closed my eyes and meditated for a while.The memory seems to have been gnawed away. Others have broken the whole line, but I am fragmented here and there.

That's all.I looked at the court lady who was slightly familiar but didn't know so well, and asked, "Are you new here too?"

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and replied, "Yes, the servant girl's name is Yong Niang."

I nodded: "Oh, are there any old people in the palace? I feel like I've lost my head from sleep, and I have something to ask."

Yong Niang's eyes were cautiously tentative: "Crown Princess...there are no old people in the palace, the servant girl knows something, just ask me directly."

I shook my head slightly, and didn't have the heart to pursue it: "Well, let the imperial doctor show me, I'm afraid I'm sick."

Yong Niang comforted her: "Crown Princess...it's okay, you fell into the lake a few days ago and hurt your head, you can't remember some things clearly, the imperial doctor said don't worry, take care of it slowly, you will recover one day."

Now that I have a definite conclusion, it is useless to search again, I nodded: "Then you wash me up, I want to go out for a walk."

Yong Niang took me through every plant and tree in the palace, I was not interested in it, and I came to an open space, I stopped, and touched the sweet-scented osmanthus tree with almost fallen flowers: "Yong Niang, This place is too empty, so we need to put something in it in the future.”

Yong Niang asked respectfully: "What does the Crown Princess want?"

I thought about it for a while, and suddenly got my attention, and I planned with great interest: "How about a swing? You see, there is a bridge over there. When I am tired from walking, I will come here to swing, enjoy the scenery, and have a drink."

"This... maidservant will try her best to do it."

Yong Niang's answer was very hesitant, but I was surprised: "In this palace...is it not allowed to change the furnishings casually? I don't know very well now, you have to mention some rules, lest I get confused."

Yong Niang nodded her head, it was her acceptance.

Even though I bear the name of the main concubine, there are no other side concubines who came to pay their respects, Yong Niang said, the one in the East Palace is indifferent and only married me as a main wife.

The imperial guards outside the house did not let me move around at will, so I could only sit by the window every day and hope that someone would come to talk to me. After two or three days, the first person to come was the eunuch from the emperor's palace.

However, he brought some benefits, saying that His Highness summoned me to meet the saint, so I could take this opportunity to go out for a while.

Yong Niang helped me change into court clothes, and did my makeup in front of the bronze mirror.I looked at the slightly distorted portrait in the mirror, stroking the long hair in my hands, and pulling with Yong Niang in miscellaneous things, when I suddenly thought of something, I stopped the movement of my hands: "Yong Niang, I don't seem to remember what the crown prince looks like." gone."

Yong Niang was not surprised, she brushed my hair gently with the comb: "Well, His Royal Highness knows about it, but His Highness has been ill recently, and he was afraid of getting sick, so he didn't come."

I suddenly became distressed: "Then if I meet him, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I don't recognize him?" Thinking of this scene, I buried my head in even more distress, "Is there any more failed princess than me? Getting married After a few years, I stumbled and forgot the face of my master, if I didn’t know him, I would be laughed to death.”

Yong Niang smiled gently: "Princess Concubine don't need to think too much, His Royal Highness will not blame you, and will never be ridiculed."

Hearing her affirmation, I breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you tell me the crown prince's name, and I need to know a little more."

Yong Niang put down the jade comb, wet her fingers, and wrote three unfamiliar characters stroke by stroke on the wooden table:

Li Chengyin

The rich dynasty is a big country in the Central Plains. The grandeur of the palace is indeed unmatched by Xizhou, but people are not as angry as Xizhou. When several palace people passed by me, they all bowed their bodies and dared not look directly. I began to miss Compared to the maids who ate and played with me in Xizhou Palace, only Yongniang here dared to straighten up and talk to me.

Those man-made beauties are far from the naturalness of the desert and wild smoke. They are restrained and pretend to be willful, which makes me lose my energy.

I finally saw a vast lake, but the prince ordered a solid but ugly fence to surround the shore. Such superfluous actions made me doubt the aesthetics of the prince Toyoto.

The emperor's palace is much bigger than other places, I stopped at the door and wandered timidly.

Anyway, those are the emperors with the most vast territory, I have no impression of him at all, how to face him is really worrying.

Yong Niang urged: "Crown Princess, Your Majesty is still waiting."

I gritted my teeth, pumped myself up from the bottom of my heart, and stepped forward to the threshold, just as I saw two young men come out in a hurry.

The face at the head was thin and narrow, and the heavy long crown on the top of the head made it look weaker. The bruises under the eyes were visible, but it had to be said that it was a good skin.

I looked at the embroidery pattern on his chest calmly, the golden silk thread hooked the four-clawed python, and its pair of small eyes stared blankly at me, its appearance was very funny.

His eyes gradually moved up, and the scorching sun in the near noon passed through the palace lanterns and shone on his face, the clearness in his eyes trembled at me.

I looked over his shoulder, glanced at the eunuch bowing to me behind him, came to a conclusion, and asked tentatively: "His Royal Highness?"

His lips parted slightly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a low voice, "Xiaofeng?"

It seems that it is Li Chengyin and his entourage Shi En, I am not mistaken.I was so happy that I bowed my body substandardly: "Xiaofeng has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengyin's outstretched hand paused in mid-air, his spread fingertips slowly closed, and he withdrew his arm: "Did you come here for something?"

I replied truthfully: "Your Highness asked me to come."

Li Chengyin frowned, seeing me enter the palace gate, he followed me.

The emperor was very old, leaning on the dragon chair exhaustedly, looking at Li Chengyin and me behind him, his face was slightly dark: "Why are you here?"

Li Cheng Yin bowed his hands and said, "The Crown Princess is also my wife, and I should have the right to intervene."

The tone didn't seem to be respectful, I couldn't understand the relationship between them, I stole a glance at Shi En who was kneeling, Shi En immediately gave me a wink, I understood it, and respectfully bowed to the old emperor.

The old emperor waved his hand to signal us to flatten our bodies, and smiled kindly at me: "Has your health improved recently?"

He had a good attitude, and I relaxed my nervousness: "It's fine, but it's just about to take root and sprout in the house."

The old emperor smiled happily, but his eyes were always sizing up at us below the steps, making me feel that he had some evil intentions in his heart, and there was a knife edge buried in his smile.

Sure enough, he cleared his throat and put down the notebook, and looked at me with a half-smile: "Since the crown princess is bored, I will let the crown prince accept another concubine, how about chatting with you?"

This is obviously a trick for me to get into. What I just said was boring. If I said there was something to talk about, he would definitely say that since I like excitement, let's add a few more people to be lively.

The emperor's will has always been determined to force others, and I am not good at resisting. On the bright side, it is good for multiple people to play the leaf card, so I am ready to respond with a bow.

Li Chengyin blocked me with one hand, motioning for me to stand back.

I didn't know why, so I could only take half a step back obediently.

Li Chengyin bowed again: "Father, Nan Yan's country is a tiny place, all they want is to ask for the blessing of the rich dynasty, and enjoy the shade under the big tree. Nan Yan and Tu Yu have had a deep conflict, rather than begging us Let them marry Duomi, who is also a small country, and the two form an alliance to fight against Tu Yu, but it is a method of check and balance. Father, the king must not forget the overall situation in order to win the hearts of the small country."

His tone is calm, but with an undeniable sense of oppression, I can feel it, let alone the emperor who has seen countless people.

The old emperor was really angry, he got up and scolded: "The princess concubine has been married to my court for so many years, and she has no heirs below her knees. Even if she doesn't marry the princess Nan Yan, she must have an heir from a side concubine!"

"Father!" Li Chengyin spoke again, "Xiaofeng and I are still in our prime, and we will live a long time, so there is no need to worry about children..."

He slightly raised his head to look at the person seated, and said in a strange tone, "Father is old and has no energy left to deal with court affairs, so Mo Yan'er is in charge of court affairs."

His figure was calm and dignified, and he seemed extremely respectful, but his words concealed the contempt of the superiors.

The old emperor pointed at him, but couldn't say a word, and finally gave up.He slowly sat back on the chair, coughed a few times, and sighed: "I exhausted half of my body, but in the end I left a white-eyed wolf, whatever..."

He waved his hand: "Retire, I'm tired."

Li Chengyin lowered his head, buried deeply in his arched arms: "My son...resign."
