The nine princesses of the East Palace

I slept for a long time as soon as I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, it was dark.

"Li Chengyin... Li Chengyin..." Where did Li Chengyin go?When I got up, the quilt I was covering fell to the ground.

I just realized that I was lying on the desk that Li Chengyin used to look up the scrolls before, he didn't know where he got these pads and covers.

I put on my shoes and went outside.The foot that I fell on didn't hurt anymore, probably Li Chengyin rubbed the medicine on me, when I fell asleep, my feet felt cool.

The lights in the library were still on, but it seemed even more empty. Those who repaired the books had all gone back.

"Princess Jiu, are you awake?" Shi En was walking towards me with something in his hand.

"Shi En, where is Li Chengyin?" I asked.

Shi En said: "Your Highness was summoned by His Majesty, and he returned soon. When His Highness left, he ordered his servants to go to the imperial dining room to find some food. The princess is mainly hungry, so she will eat dinner first."

I'm not too hungry, but I'm a little worried, the emperor won't beat Li Chengyin again, right?

Shi En is Li Chengyin's closest servant, he is always with him, he should know a lot, right?So I asked: "Shi En, why did Your Majesty beat Li Chengyin last time?"

There was a smile on Shi En's face, but now he froze completely, and said again and again: "Princess Jiu, this slave doesn't know."

"Didn't you follow Li Chengyin all day? How could you not know?" I didn't believe it.

Shi En said: "Your Majesty said, this is a family matter, if no one is present, the slave will naturally not know."

What he said seemed to make sense, "You really don't know anything? You should be able to find out something, right?" I asked again.

Shi En hesitated for a long time before he said vaguely: "My servant got a word or two from Eunuch Cao who is beside His Majesty. It probably has something to do with the deceased Second Prince and Shuo Bo. It seems that His Majesty didn't intend to attack Shuo Bo. but..."

"And what?" I asked.

But Shi En refused to speak any more, and just said: "Princess, don't ask, these things have already passed, and the servants dare not talk nonsense, if it spreads, it will cause trouble, and they will lose their heads. "

He said so, I can't continue to ask, I just walked around holding the cold hand stove.

Shi En saw that I was walking all the time, and said: "Princess has an injury on her leg, so don't leave like this. If His Highness finds out, it's time to reprimand the slave again."

"It's because I can't sit still and want to move around. Why did he scold you?" Shi En always spoke strangely.

Shi En said: "It's probably because the slave didn't like the princess."

I said, "He is a real murderer, no wonder you are all afraid of him!"

Shi En didn't answer.

I said again: "It's his business that he is fierce. I am much more talkative than him, so you don't have to be so afraid of me."

Shi En still didn't answer.

I looked around and saw no one, so I whispered: "Actually, I also think he is very fierce, but I am not afraid of him. At worst, I will fight with him. It doesn't matter if I can't fight. If I can't fight, I will quarrel. He will definitely not be able to fight." I."

"Grand...princess, you should eat something first, the slave brought your favorite mandarin duck." Shi En said with a trembling voice.

"You don't believe me? What I said is true, I'm really not afraid of Li Chengyin."

"So?" I heard a voice behind me.This voice is a bit cold, it belongs to Li Chengyin.

Why is he here now?

I tried to think about what I just said. I seemed to say that I wanted to fight him, and that he couldn't quarrel with me when he quarreled.

"So... so, have you had dinner? Let's eat together." I smiled at him and said flatteringly.

He didn't seem to be very angry, he didn't care about me, he just walked around me and told Shi En, "Let's set the meal."

I followed, sat down around the round table, and asked, "What did His Majesty ask you for just now? Did he not hit you?" I looked at him carefully as I spoke.

I didn't see anything wrong, but why is he still wearing this dress?He doesn't dislike the big lumps of ink on it?He usually likes to be clean the most. If Xiaoxue's body gets dirty, he will never hug her. He will only care if she has to wash it clean.

Li Cheng Yin looked at me for a while, then said with a smile: "So you are worried about me? Don't worry, Father doesn't hit people casually, he is shrewd."

What does it have to do with whether the emperor is smart or not and whether he beats people?However, I don't dare to comment on the emperor's affairs. After all, my life is the most important thing. Since he was not beaten, I'd better wait for dinner.

Shi En set out a meal, but in fact there were not many dishes, Li Chengyin didn't eat much, I was eating alone.

After eating, Li Chengyin sent me back to Yufu Palace, while walking, he suddenly asked me: "In a few days, there will be a Cuju competition, and all the princes of aristocratic families will participate, do you want to watch it?"

"Cuju? Does it look good? Will you go?" I asked curiously.

He said, "If you don't go, I'll ask you what to do?"

I asked, "Can I go if I want?"

Li Chengyin said: "Just tell grandma, you are bored in Yufu Palace, and if you want to learn more, she will definitely not stop you, maybe she will let Yongning and Luoxi come together, Aren't you getting closer to them? After the Cuju competition is over, you can still walk around together."

Hearing what he said, I really wanted to go. "Then I'll talk to grandma tomorrow."

"Well, then don't forget." He seemed to want me to go, and reminded me several times along the way.

He said it so many times, I naturally remembered it, and after I went back and fell asleep, I still remembered it, so I went to the Empress Dowager to greet him the next day.

"Xiaofeng, how did you go to study yesterday?" The Empress Dowager enthusiastically pulled me to sit down, and asked Aunt Ying to bring up a lot of pastries, telling me to eat more.

I actually just looked at a map yesterday, and I couldn’t recognize all the words on those books, but I couldn’t tell the Empress Dowager like this, I just said: “It’s very interesting to repair books.”

The Empress Dowager said: "That's good. I'm worried that you will find it boring to deal with these books."

"How could it be, grandma, I like to study in the library very much." I said.Going to the library to study books is indeed more comfortable than staying in Yufu Palace to learn "Women's Precepts" and "Women's Training" with Fang Shangyi.Moreover, I learned several words yesterday.

I talked with the Empress Dowager for a while, and before I mentioned the Cuju match, Yongning and Luo Xi came in, Yongning sat for a while and then said to the Empress Dowager: "Grandma, Xiaofeng came to the Central Plains for more than one It's been a month, and I've stayed in the palace every day, and haven't been out much, us? The princess of the N dynasty can't even go to the capital without visiting the capital, right?"

"Girl Yongning, do you want to take Xiaofeng out of the palace?" The Empress Dowager looked at Yongning.

Yongning said: "Grandma Tai is wise, you can understand what I mean when you hear it. Grandma, please give us a grace, let us go out and have fun."

The Empress Dowager said: "The affairs of the palace are not in the hands of an old woman like me."

Yong Ning said: "As long as the grandma nods, let alone the queen mother, even the emperor father will not have any objections."

The Empress Dowager glanced back and forth among us, and finally nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll let Yingniang take you out of the palace and take a stroll around carefully."

As soon as I heard that I could go out to visit the palace openly, I had already forgotten about the Cuju competition.
