The nine princesses of the East Palace

I can barely accept learning etiquette. Although I broke a lot of bowls and dropped a lot of eggs, the most annoying thing is memorizing "The Commandments for Women". However, both Fang Shangyi and Yong Niang said that this is something that must be learned, and that I If you can't even memorize "The Commandments for Women", it will be difficult to convince people to manage the affairs of the East Palace in the future.I really don't know whether I can memorize "The Commandments for Women" has anything to do with whether I can manage the East Palace well.

Perhaps because of some resistance, I couldn't finish reading "The Commandments for Women" for several days, let alone memorize it.Fang Shangyi was very embarrassed by this, so she urged me to learn more strictly.The more she suppressed me, the more I couldn't learn well. We almost fought several times, but Yong Niang was very anxious.

As soon as I offend Fang Shangyi, Yong Niang would kneel down to me, telling me not to offend Fang Shangyi, and would always say "please give the maidservant a death penalty"!I really don't like to hear it at all.

Fang Shangyi, like other officials in the N Dynasty, took a bath once every ten days. After finally waiting for her to take a bath, I was finally free.

Fang Shangyi is taking a rest, I don’t know if Li Chengyin is also taking a rest, these days he seems to be so busy that he doesn’t come to me very often, the only time he brought the Seventh Princess Yongning and the Eighth Princess Luo Xi over to say that I If you are bored, you can talk to his two younger sisters, and then leave in a hurry.

Yong Ning is very talkative, Luo Xi is very gentle, they know a lot of interesting things, such as leaf cards, I also learned from them, at the beginning I always lose, if I lose, I have to eat sour oranges, but it makes me sour .After playing more than a dozen times, I finally didn't lose much. Yongning and Luoxi also ate sour oranges a few times.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng, something is wrong!" I was resting at noon, when Yongning and Luoxi rushed in.

"What's wrong?" Their faces were full of anxiety, and my original sleepiness was suddenly disturbed.

Yong Ning said: "The fifth brother and the father don't know what conflict happened, the father was furious, and used family law in the East Palace, beat the fifth brother half to death, and couldn't get out of bed. Luoxi and I want to go Visiting, the guards said that the emperor ordered no one to step into the East Palace."

Luo Xi also said with red eyes: "Yeah, Father hasn't been this angry for a long time, and even threatened to abolish Fifth Brother."

Yong Ning said: "Luoxi, the father is just talking about it, and the fifth brother will not be abolished. The eldest brother has gone to Jiangnan, the second brother is no longer there, and the fourth and sixth brothers are also embarrassing. Although the father is strict with the fifth brother, But it’s also about cultivating him sincerely.”

I only had a glimpse of the emperor from a distance, knowing that he is aloof and majestic, I don't know how his relationship with Li Chengyin is, but hearing what Yongning and Luoxi said, the relationship between their father and son seems to be very indifferent.

I also remembered that when we were still in Xizhou, Li Chengyin said that the emperor domesticated them as beasts and let them kill each other.

Thinking about it this way, Li Chengyin seems quite pitiful, I am much happier than him, although my father scolded me, he never beat me.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for the emperor to beat Li Chengyin for no reason, after all the emperor's affairs are watched by ministers, could it be that the last time Li Chengyin went out of the palace to play with me and was discovered by the emperor?

No, no, the emperor should not go to war for such a trivial matter.

I don't know what happened to Li Chengyin, did the imperial doctor look at his wounds, I haven't returned the golden sore medicine he gave me last time, if he didn't rub it, he would definitely be so painful that he couldn't sleep.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng! Don't be dazed, help me find a way." Yongning's voice pulled me back from my thoughts.I saw Yongning and Luoxi's anxious faces, and I was also anxious. With my current status, I can't ask the emperor, and the only ones who can intercede for Li Chengyin are the ministers, empresses or empress dowagers.

The one who has the most say in front of the emperor is the empress dowager. "Yongning, Luoxi, let's go find grandma together, she will definitely help." I said.

Yongning shook his head: "Grandma went out of the palace to worship the Buddha, and I don't know when she will come back."

I remembered that the day after tomorrow would be the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. She wanted to pick a date and said she would go to worship the Buddha, and it turned out to be today.What can I do now!

"Then, how about we go to the queen?" I said again.

Yong Ning said: "The fifth brother is not born to the queen, so she might not take this risk for the fifth brother, and the father never likes foreign relatives to interfere in politics, and the queen can't avoid suspicion now, even if she doesn't avoid suspicion, go beg Royal father, maybe it's just adding fuel to the fire."

Yongning's analysis is clear and logical, it seems that begging the queen is not enough, so can we just wait for the emperor to die?But who knows when his anger will dissipate, if it takes ten and a half months for him to dissipate his anger, and he won't let anyone treat Li Cheng Yin's injuries, wouldn't Li Cheng Yin die?If something goes wrong with him, what can I do?Although he is sometimes annoying and always makes me angry, but I never thought of marrying someone else, and he is still very good to me sometimes, he will play with me, and he is called Yongning and Luo Xilai Talk to me, send me delicious food...

I thought again, how about I go find Pei Zhao?But he is just one of Li Chengyin's subordinates, so he probably can't help much.Looking for master?Master didn't know where he was sent by Mr. Chai to handle errands, and the far water could not save the near fire.

After much deliberation, I had no choice but to let A'Du slip out of the palace quietly and go to Wanfo Temple to find the Empress Dowager. A'Du is good at horseback riding, and he should be able to leave the palace smoothly and bring the news to the Empress Dowager soon.

After A'Du left, I hugged Xiaoxue and waited outside the Empress Dowager's Shouning Palace.It's rare for Xiaoxue not to be noisy, but I waited for almost two hours, standing and sitting for a while, my legs and feet were numb, the Empress Dowager has not come back, and there is no news of A'Du.

After waiting for another hour, I saw Aunt Ying and A'Du who were beside the Empress Dowager hurrying over together. Aunt Ying said, "Princess Ninth, please don't worry. The Empress Dowager has persuaded His Majesty to find an imperial doctor to treat his wounds." It's okay, nothing will happen, the ninth princess should go back to Yufu Palace to rest."

But Li Chengyin has already lost half his life, how can I sleep if I don't go to see him? "Aunt Ying, can I go and see Li Chengyin? Just take a look."

Aunt Ying seemed a little embarrassed.

I said again: "I won't say anything. I'm pretending to be a palace lady, so no one will notice."

Aunt Ying looked at me for a while and said, "Then princess, hurry up and change your clothes, and follow the servant girl."

I hurried back to Yufu Palace and asked Dimo ​​to quickly find me a maid's clothes to change into, and then combed a maid's hair bun.

The East Palace and Yufu Palace are really far away, we all walked in stride, and it took more than half an hour to arrive.

The East Palace was heavily guarded, and there was a feeling of coldness. There were soldiers in armor standing everywhere. I kept my head down and followed Aunt Ying into the palace.

Unexpectedly, not only the empress dowager was there, but the emperor was also there.The atmosphere in the hall seemed to be very cold, neither the emperor nor the empress dowager spoke.
