Throwing down the bear child of the Flower God[Comprehensive]

Chapter 43 ◇ People are not grass and trees

It was still in the small courtyard where he first met Prince Zhu Youtang.

The eldest princess stood in front of the window, caressing a piece of jade pendant in the sunlight.

The gentle breeze gently blew the hair hanging by the princess' ears. She tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes and enjoyed the breeze, raised her head for a while, raised her lips, and stretched out her hand to pin the hair by her ears.

When Lingbi arrived, she saw the eldest princess looking softly and intently at the jade pendant in her hand.

"Sister!" Lingbi rushed forward to hug the eldest princess, "It's Sister who came to see me!"

At the end, she cautiously raised her head again, and said to the eldest princess, "Brother, is he... okay?"

The eldest princess smiled and said: "He is very good." While speaking, her fingers unconsciously rubbed the jade pendant a few more times.

Lingbi poked her head to look at the jade pendant, suddenly smirked and stretched out her hand to grab it, and said: "This jade pendant is so beautiful, sister, give it to me!"

The eldest princess avoided Lingbi with one hand, put the jade pendant in her sleeve, touched Lingbi's forehead with the other hand, and scolded with a smile: "Now that I have grown up, even elder sister dares to make trouble."

Lingbi giggled, and rubbed the eldest princess's shoulder flatteringly.

"This is a gift from my future brother-in-law." After rubbing, Lingbi still did not forget to ask.

The eldest princess nodded, put her hands in her sleeves, and put the jade pendant in her palm.

As early as half a year ago, the emperor made a marriage arrangement for the eldest princess Renhe.For this engagement, the emperor did not choose a folk man as the son-in-law according to the usual practice, but chose Qi Shimei, the son of Qi You, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

Except for the period of Tai and Zu, most of the princesses of the Ming Dynasty had to follow the ancestral system and marry to folk men, and few of them married into decent families.This time the eldest princess Renhe was able to marry into the official family, not only behind the prince's means, but also Qi Shimei's own struggle.

Earlier, Yueniang had told Lingbi that it was Qi Shimei who secretly fell in love with the eldest princess and tried her best to win her favor.Apart from being sick and weak, this Qi Shimei has the best appearance and talent, so she is worthy of the Eldest Princess.

Seeing the gentleness of the Eldest Princess, Lingbi was very envious, so she took the Eldest Princess's arm and said, "Brother-in-law likes Elder Sister, and Elder Sister also likes Brother-in-law, it's really good."

The eldest princess paused, then turned her head to look out the window, and sighed for a while: "The person your elder sister likes is not him."

Lingbi's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked: "Then why did you marry him?!"

"Because he is very good." Speaking of this, the Eldest Princess looked softer, "I don't want to miss him."

Ling Bi frowned, lowered her head and fiddled with the belt on her body, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you marry someone you like?"

Hearing this, the Eldest Princess raised the corners of her lips, "It's not always possible to be with someone you liked when you were young."

Lingbi's heart skipped a beat, and he tensed his face and asked, "Do I know the person my sister likes?"

The eldest princess leaned over and pinched Lingbi's pink cheeks, and said with a smile: "The first time I saw him, he was standing in front of the emperor, talking and laughing calmly. At that time, I was a little girl, about the same height as you , I thought, if I marry someone in the future, I should marry such a person."

"What happened next?" Ling Bi asked curiously.

"Later," the eldest princess smiled, as if lost in memory, "later he was ordered to teach me to read, it was a very good time, after that I grew up gradually, but that person fell from the peak into the dust , never recovered.”

After Lingbi heard this, she was startled and doubtful, so she kept silent.

The eldest princess said again: "Later he left the capital, but I kept asking for news about him. I went to him quietly, and summoned up the courage to say that I wanted to marry him, but he said that the national crisis was a crisis, and the princess shouldn't just want to marry him." To get married..."

Speaking of this, the eldest princess smiled slightly, then patted Lingbi's head, and said softly: "I have learned a lot and done a lot in these years, and I have finally lived up to his teachings. As for the marriage, I have never done it again. I mentioned to him that the person he likes is not me, so why should I force it."

"Sister..." Lingbi called out to the eldest princess softly, only to feel her chest churning, apart from sadness, there was also anger.

In fact, after hearing it now, she has guessed in her mind about the person the eldest princess likes.She only felt that the eldest princess told her the old things on purpose to persuade her to let go of her obsession.

"Sister," Lingbi looked up, with a hint of stubbornness in her dim eyes, "Sister said this, is she trying to persuade me to let Brother Seven go?"

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows slightly, and said lazily: "It's funny, why should I advise you to do this?"

Lingbi was stunned.She had already prepared thousands of words to argue with the eldest princess, but who knew that the eldest princess did not play cards according to common sense, and for a while she was blocked by thousands of words, and she couldn't breathe.

"If you really like Huamanlou, when you grow up, take him down." The eldest princess gave Lingbi a look, and wrote lightly, "If you can't catch him in the future, I can only blame you for being useless. Can you still lose your temper at others?"

Lingbi choked, and said for a long while: "I, I, I will work hard..." After finishing speaking, she took the initiative to change the subject, "Sister came to see me, what's the matter?"

The eldest princess seemed to have just remembered her reason for coming, she turned around and stroked her sleeves and said, "Sister is here to discuss with you about going back to the palace."

"I won't go back, I want to guard Seventh Brother." Lingbi subconsciously retorted, "If I and I go back, Seventh Brother will be snatched away by a bad woman."

The eldest princess was silent for a moment, and said leisurely: "But you are always by Huamanlou's side, and he will always only think of you as a child."

Hearing this, Lingbi frowned, folded her arms and fell into deep thought.

The eldest princess continued to insist: "If you can leave him for a while, and then secretly grow up to be an adult and come back to see him, wouldn't you be able to fascinate him all at once? Why bother to guard him all day? I'm afraid others will rob you! Besides, if you don't return to the palace, how sad your biological brother will be."

Lingbi suddenly felt that what the eldest princess said made sense, and when she repeatedly nodded in agreement, there was a burst of piercing sound outside the door, and a sharp arrow shot into the room, brushing Lingbi's shoulder, Nail it to the wall.

Immediately afterwards, Yue Niang with a pale face and an arrow shaft on her shoulder rushed in with several subordinates.

"What's going on outside?" the eldest princess said in a deep voice.

Yueniang's hands and feet were weak, and just as she was about to force herself to answer, Gao Zhuang's subordinate who was supporting her spoke first: "It's Jin Yiwei, that commander surnamed Yang has defected to Concubine Wan Gui! There is a traitor among our people. The news was leaked to him. Now the surname Yang brings people here, and wants to capture the two princesses to claim credit for Concubine Wan Gui!"

When Gao Zhuang's subordinate wanted to say more, Yueniang struggled and raised her hand to pat his chest, and said anxiously: "No time... I said it... Hurry up!"

Gao Zhuang's subordinates woke up, hurriedly made arrangements, and left with the protection of the princess and Lingbi.A group of people hurriedly left through the secret passage, but when they reached the exit, they were ambushed by Jin Yiwei.

Although Yueniang's subordinates are all good players, they gradually fall into the inferior position when the few are against the many.The old eunuch concentrated on protecting the eldest princess and Lingbi all the way, and was really unable to withdraw to help.At the critical juncture, he saw the right time to disperse the opponent's archery team, and led the crowd into the deep mountains.After several times of hiding, they finally got rid of the pursuers and temporarily hid in the cave.

In the cold and damp cave, Gao Zhuang's subordinates were nervously treating Yueniang's wound.The barbed arrow was carefully taken out, and Yueniang was almost unconscious, leaning weakly in the arms of Gao Zhuang's subordinates.

Lingbi was lying on the side, holding Yueniang's hand with a desolate expression.Yueniang sensed the existence of Lingbi in pain, forced herself to smile at her, and patted the back of her hand.

At this time, the old eunuch who went out to investigate came back. He looked around the crowd, and his coffin face became more gloomy.

"Jin Yiwei surrounded the mountain." The old eunuch's weak voice added a bit of sharpness, "Group after group of people came up to search the mountain, and the old slave even saw a lot of Japanese pirates!"

As soon as the old eunuch's words fell, the atmosphere in the cave froze in an instant, and even the eldest princess, who had always remained calm, changed her expression.

The area in the south of the Yangtze River is rich and rich, and it has always attracted the jealousy of Japanese pirates. From time to time, a small group of people will come all the way to burn, kill and loot.Now the pirates and Jin Yiwei appear at the same time, this is definitely not a coincidence!

"It's Concubine Wan Gui." The eldest princess murmured, "Lying wolves into the house, this woman is crazy..."

In the eyes of the eldest princess, even if Concubine Wan Gui supported King Yong and wanted to remove the crown prince, it was nothing more than a court battle.But if she colludes with the Japanese pirates along the coast in order to realize her ambition, even if she succeeds, Daming will have a crazy family like her in the future, not to mention that the strength on the border is becoming stronger and stronger, and they are always coveting the Tartars and Oachers of Daming. The Japanese pirate gangs that have been brought into the country alone are enough to make the people of Ming Dynasty live in dire straits.

If the Ming Dynasty really fell into the hands of Concubine Wan Gui, then the emperor was captured, the officials guarded the capital, the country was at stake, and in the future, the tragedy of brothers killing each other and shaking the country's foundation would repeat itself!

Thinking of this, the eldest princess's face became solemn, and she turned her head to look at Lingbi who was still worried about Yueniang not far away.

"Abi, come here." The eldest princess said in a deep voice.

Lingbi looked terrified, and carefully moved to the side of the eldest princess.The eldest princess looked at Lingbi quietly for a while, her eyes seemed to be filled with a thousand words, then she took out a delicate dagger from her sleeve and handed it to Lingbi.

"Take this well." After a pause, the Eldest Princess continued, "Remember, if we fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei, you should hide the dagger close to your body, and sister will be there for everything. If we... fall into the In the hands of Japanese pirates..."

Hearing this, Lingbi's heart suddenly beat violently, as if she had realized that what the eldest princess was going to say next would be beyond her ability to bear.

Seeing that the eldest princess closed her eyes, her lips turned white and said: "If it falls into the hands of Japanese pirates, you can take this dagger and kill yourself together with sister."

In an instant, Lingbi felt a basin of cold water pouring her from head to toe, she limp on the ground, crying, "I don't want—I don't want to commit suicide, I don't want to die—"

The eldest princess said coldly: "You are Daming's princess, this is beyond your control!"

While sobbing, Lingbi said bitterly: "I'm not a princess, I don't want to be a princess!"

The eldest princess was unmoved, "It is destined that you will be born with the surname Zhu, and you will be honored and disgraced as Daming for the rest of your life! If you don't commit suicide, Elder Sister will personally send you off and go down to accompany you!"

"Who wants you to accompany me!" Lingbi's face was ferocious, and she almost died from crying, "What Daming, I don't want to die for this—"

Gao Zhuang's subordinates who were hugging Yueniang were annoyed by Lingbi's noise. At this time, they didn't care about etiquette, turned their heads and shouted at Lingbi in a rough voice: "What's the noise! ​​You can't do what the eldest princess can do? Why? , can we all die, but you are more expensive, can't you die?!"

When the cave was full of quarrels, a person rushed in with a panicked look and shouted loudly: "No, the Japanese pirates are here!"

The author has something to say: Note: The matter of colluding with Japanese pirates is completely out of the author's own imagination. Since Ming Xiaozong has given the golden finger, Wan Guifei should be more sturdy.

Lingbi: Sister, accidents happen every time you come here, I think there must be something wrong.

Eldest Princess: Oh, what's the problem?

Lingbi (serious): You definitely didn't give the author a gift.You see, you had a hard time playing puppy love back then, and the author failed.

The eldest princess (leisurely): You are her own daughter, and you are worse than anyone else.

Lingbi: ...
