The nine princesses of the East Palace

What I said was righteous and passionate, but as soon as I finished speaking, Li Chengyin rolled his eyes, "It's a bunch of nonsense! Let me hear your nonsense in the future, and I will punish you to copy "The Commandments of Women" ", copy it ten times!"

"I'm telling the truth..."

"Say it again, just thirty times."

"Li Chengyin..."

"do you have any opinion?"

I nodded wildly, nonsense, of course I have an opinion.

He got closer and said word by word: "Then fifty times."

"Bah!" I was so angry that my hands trembled a little, and I stared at him and said, "I'll copy it once... no, I won't copy a single word." I can't hold it anymore.

"Then don't talk nonsense, look at what you just said, what kind of nonsense?"

"What you said is just a mess, I obviously have reasons and evidence!" Hmph, domineering and ruthless, unreasonable, unreasonable, confusing black and white, causing trouble out of nothing, bullying others!I kept scolding him in my heart.

"If your justification is to push your husband to others? Then I would rather you be arrogant and unreasonable."

"Who is arrogant and unreasonable? If you have the ability, you can say it again!"

"Say it once, say it again!" He seemed to be fighting with me, and he didn't back down for half a step.

"Then you say it!" I "thumped" and stood up.

Li Chengyin also stood up, he was much taller than me, once he stood there, he immediately felt condescending.However, I am not afraid of him, I straightened my back and stared at him, waiting for him to speak.

After being stared at by me like this, his momentum weakened a bit, and he said after a while: "I just like to see you being unreasonable."

"Uh..." I was ready to say something back and curse back, but who knows, he actually said such a sentence, how should I respond now?I was a little at a loss, and snorted, "I...I won't tell you anymore. I'm hungry, and I want to eat."

"I'm hungry too, let's eat with you." Li Chengyin said.

"Who wants to eat with you?" I was unhappy, so I didn't want to eat with him.

"I haven't used breakfast yet, and I haven't asked anyone to prepare lunch. If I don't eat with you, I will have to wait for half an hour."

As soon as I heard it, I was impatient: "Why don't you eat breakfast? What can I do if I'm hungry?" Saying this, I hurriedly called Yong Niang outside, and Yong Niang came in immediately when she heard the call.

"Yong Niang, is lunch ready? Hurry up and remind me." Before Yong Niang could make a sound, I said.

"Yes, maidservant is going now."

After Yong Niang went to urge, the food came soon, I thought that Li Cheng Yin hadn't eaten yet, so I handed him a bowl of soup, "Drink a bowl of soup first, to get rid of the cold, to warm up the stomach."

He looked at me, picked up the spoon in a daze, and took a few mouthfuls of soup.

"Not good?" I saw that he had only had a few sips, so I asked.What I asked someone to prepare today is pigeon soup, which is obviously very fragrant.

"It's delicious." After he said that, he took a few sips and drank it all in one go.

The soup was hot and warm, and I thought of Xu Niang again, so I asked, "What are you going to do about Xu Niang's matter?"

"Send it away." Li Chengyin replied two words without thinking.

"Didn't you say last time that staying in the East Palace is the safest for her?" I was a little puzzled.

Li Cheng Yin didn't explain, just said: "Last time was last time, this time is this time."

"Where should I send it? How?" I asked again.

Li Chengyin put a bowl full of vegetables in front of me, and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll figure out a way."

"Then you must ensure Xu Niang's safety."

"I know. Eat it." Li Chengyin seemed unwilling to mention more about Xu Niang, and didn't want me to take care of it.I couldn't think of a good way, so I had no choice but to keep silent.

The news of Xu Niang's pregnancy quickly spread in the palace, and the emperor and the empress dowager ordered people to give gifts to her so that she could have a safe pregnancy.I also went to see her a few times, but she still didn't look well.

In the second half of the first lunar month, it is misty and rainy, extremely cold and humid, and there is no sunshine for several days. Such weather always makes people feel uneasy and worried that something bad will happen.

"Princess Concubine, something serious happened." I was reading the book, when Yong Niang pushed the door open and came in, before the door was knocked, and the ceremony was not performed, she, who has always been the most respectful of rules, was so anxious that she forgot the most basic rules. The seriousness of this matter can be seen.

"Yong Niang, what happened? You are in such a hurry."

"Xu Niang, she...she was murdered..."

"What!" I exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on?"

Yong Niang said: "Xu Niang felt very bored today, so she took the two maids and said that she wanted to go outside for a walk. On the way, she was knocked down by a servant, and shed a lot of blood. Not only did the baby in her womb fail Keep it safe, he is also dying, and the imperial doctor said that he cannot be rescued."

"Xu Niang... is she gone?" I murmured.

Yong Niang nodded slightly, but did not speak.

I couldn't believe that Xu Niang passed away like this. Two days ago, I went to see her and chatted with her for more than half an hour. The child is a daughter, she thinks her son is too naughty and difficult to control...

"What about the boy who hit her? Did you catch him?" I asked.If it is said that the boy was careless, I don't quite believe it.

Yong Niang said: "I caught him, but he suddenly bit his tongue and committed suicide."

Suicide?That is someone instigated.But, Xu Niang is just a little palace lady with an easy-going temperament, who has such a big hatred against her?Moreover, why was everything fine before, but after it was reported in the palace that she had a child, something happened?

I went outside Xu Niang's house and wanted to go in, but those maids stopped me, saying that Xu Niang had aborted her child and lost her life, it would be unlucky for me to go in, afraid of getting bad luck, so they wouldn't let me in.I don't know what is auspicious or unlucky, bad luck or bad luck.All I know is that Xu Niang is my friend, I failed to protect her well, now that she is gone, I have to see her one last time, find out whoever killed her, and avenge her.

But I couldn't enter the house after all, the maids who stopped me were all trained in martial arts, stronger than me, no matter what they said they wouldn't listen, I brought out my identity as the princess, they said it was Li Chengyin Let me stop you, although I am a crown princess, but my status is not higher than that of Li Chengyin, so I had to retreat and go to Li Chengyin.

Li Chengyin just went out for a while, but he couldn't find anyone, so I waited for him to come back.After waiting for half a day, he didn't come back until dinner time.During this period, I thought about a lot of things, such as how to deal with Xu Niang's funeral, how to tell her family about this...

When Li Chengyin came in, I was standing in the yard waiting, he frowned when he saw me, "It's cold, and it's raining lightly, what are you doing standing here if you don't come in?" He touched my hand It was cold, and his face sank even more.
