White Hedge Dream

Chapter 117 The Old Man

The gorgeous hall was warm as spring and brightly lit, with beautiful attendants singing, dancing or serving wine.

Princess Jinyu sat on the soft couch, her eyes dim and drunk.

"If you come and commit suicide in front of me."

She looked at the young man standing in the hall.

Before entering, the attendants took off Shangguan Yue's cloak and searched her clothes, even her hair.

At this time, Shangguan Yue's robes were messy, her bun was scattered, and she was in a miserable state.

But this did not affect his beauty.

More beautiful than Shangguan's consort.

Princess Jinyu smiled.

"I can put you in a fine coffin."

Shangguan Yue knelt down and pulled out a red rope from his collar, with an ordinary-looking jade piece tied to it.

"Princess, please identify this object," he said, raising his hand in the air.

What? Princess Jinyu took a lazy look, and since the person was let in, the things didn't matter anymore, and she waved to the attendant.

The attendant quickly stepped forward to take it and hold it over.

Princess Jinyu didn't answer, and glanced at the attendant's hand. Her originally casual expression was suddenly startled, and she sat upright.

"You." She looked at Shangguan Yue and shouted, "Where did this thing come from!"

The music, singing and dancing in the hall stopped, and there was an instant silence.

Shangguan Yue raised her head and looked at Princess Jinyu: "Princess, please allow me to report in private."

Princess Jinyu has nothing to be afraid of. The servants and maids who played music, danced, served tea and poured wine in the room all retreated, leaving only the guards holding swords around her.

Princess Jinyu turned the jade piece in her hand, and her fingers brushed a word carved on it under the light of the lamp.

This word has long since become taboo, and she has almost forgotten it.

"Princess, do you still have this jade piece?" Shangguan Yue knelt down a few steps away and said softly.

Princess Jinyu reached out to her neck and pulled out a red rope from the accessories surrounded by pearls, gold and jade.

There is also a jade piece hanging on it.

She held the two pieces of jade in front of her eyes, looking here and there, with a smile on her lips.

This smile seems to be ridiculing and reminiscing at the same time.

"When I was very young, about four or five years old, someone offered me a piece of jade from heaven as an auspicious gift. My father made it into two jade pendants and gave them to the eldest brother and me, one for each of us. One has it, but no one else has.”

Princess Jinyu said this with a bit of pride, and then a bit of sadness.

That was also the moment when my father was most like his father in my memory. Later, as they grew up and their father got older, the way their father looked at them became alienated, and in the end they looked like enemies.

The eldest son of the emperor who once wore this jade pendant, and the prince who did not get the jade pendant, all died, leaving only her and the sixth emperor's brother.

present.

Princess Jinyu touched the words on the jade piece in her right hand.

The emperor's eldest son, Li Li, was granted the title of crown prince at the age of eighteen.

He was once the late emperor's favorite son.

The killing between the emperor and his son also started with him.

The emperor scolded the prince for secretly hiding weapons, raising soldiers, and colluding with courtiers in an attempt to seize the palace and usurp the throne. The prince was not a prince, nor a minister, nor a minister. He first deprived the prince of his title, then condemned him, imprisoned him, demoted him to a commoner, and gave him poisonous wine and white silk.

The prince scolded the emperor for being suspicious, tyrannical, unethical, unwise, and unworthy of being a father. He disdained being the emperor's son, threw poisoned wine, tore the white silk, and set himself on fire in the East Palace.

The fire burned for three days.

At that time, she was hiding in the Xishan Villa, and she seemed to be able to smell the smell of burning fire late at night.

How scary.

Princess Jinyu reached out and grasped the jade piece, closed her eyes, everything passed, everything passed.

"How bold." She opened her eyes, looked at Shangguan Yue, and said slowly, "You dare to steal the relics of the deposed prince. You can't say that I won't tolerate you. You will be punished by death."

Following her words, the soldiers on both sides were eager to kill Shangguan Yue on the spot.

Shangguan Yue bowed her head to Princess Jinyu: "I am guilty, but I am not guilty of stealing the relics." At this point, her voice seemed to be laughing and choking, "Burn them all and bury them on the spot. The East Palace has been rebuilt, how can there be any relics?" Steal."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Princess Jinyu, tears falling down.

"Aunt." He called in a low voice.

Princess Jinyu was startled and shouted angrily: "What are you shouting for!"

Shangguan Yue looked at her: "I am Li Yu, I should call you aunt."

Li Yu? Princess Jinyu was confused for a moment and couldn't remember who the name was when the voice heard in her ears.

"I was born on the 15th day of the eighth month. My imperial grandfather gave me the nickname Yue. My mother said that when the moon is full, it will be waning, so she named me Yu."

"Every year on my birthday, my aunt would give me a red gold moon disk, until I was four years old..."

The prince has a child.

The emperor also liked this eldest grandson very much and gave him a nickname.

The prince is very powerful, so she must treat this child with care on his birthday, and give him a gold moon plate every year that is enough to show sincerity and please his father.

Until something happened to the prince.

The prince was no longer a prince, and his whole family was dead, so she no longer had to wish a child a happy birthday.

Remain.

Li Yu.

Princess Jinyu felt her ears buzzing and pointed at Shangguan Yue.

"Nonsense." "Bold, bold, dare to pretend to be the royal family!"

"Where is the Prince Consort? Is this a new trick that the Prince Consort has come up with?"

"Bring Shangguan Xue to me!"

"You two are really tired of living!"

Princess Jinyu’s angry voice echoed in the hall.

After saying the name Li Yu, although Shangguan Yue was still kneeling, she was not as humble as before.

Looking at the angry Princess Jinyu, he did not panic, but gave a wry smile: "Princess, it doesn't matter if you pretend to be a relative of other royal families, who would pretend to be a deposed prince, demote him to a commoner, break his bones and spread ashes, and end up with a dead end? ”

"It's hard to say that you and your son are crazy for wanting to get married to me." Princess Jinyu sneered, "Even if it means death, you still have to get involved with me."

Shangguan Yue said nothing, took off the silk handkerchief that had been wetted in advance from her waist, and wiped her face.

What are you doing to wipe your face? Is this face disguised? It doesn't look like Shangguan's consort, but looks like her or the royal children?

Princess Jinyu sneered and said: "The world is so big, it is inevitable that there will be similarities in appearance. Don't think you can become someone just by looking at your face."

"Yes, the world is so big, it's not difficult to find someone with similar looks." Shangguan Yue said, smiling bitterly again, "But the prince-in-law didn't need to go out of his way to find a child like this to raise."

The prince has become a taboo, whoever touches him will die. The prince-in-law has no need to touch this brow, and specially adopts a similar child, just to come to the princess today to call his aunt for marriage.

That's ridiculous.

As he spoke, Shangguan Yue's face was wiped bit by bit with a wet cloth dipped in potion, wiping off the disguise smeared on it. It was like another layer of film was peeled off the originally white and flawless face.

Under the bright lights, his jade face, almond-shaped eyes, and radiant skin seemed to be the same, but he seemed to be a different person.

He looked at Princess Jinyu.

"My aunt probably doesn't remember what I looked like when I was a child, and I don't look much like my father, more like my mother."

"My aunt should still remember my mother's appearance."

He looked up at Princess Jinyu and smiled.

"After all, my aunt brought my mother and the prince together."

Princess Jinyu looked at this face and was in a trance for a moment.

"Princess, the slaves have found out that Shangguanxue does have a sweetheart."

"This is Mrs. Du Sanniang, the daughter of the Du family, the young prince of the palace."

The voices of the attendants echoed in her ears.

"Princess, look, that is the third wife of the Du family."

Princess Jinyu seemed to see a group of young women playing and playing by the Jinshui River. One of them was taking off her silk hat, revealing peach cheeks, almond-shaped eyes, and radiant jade skin.

Even though she was born in the palace and saw many beauties, Princess Jinyu was still stunned at that moment.

She smashed the fishing rod into the water.

The splashing water blurred the reflected face.

"Let the mother-in-law invite her into the palace." She looked at the pool where the fish were swimming, and told the palace maid, "Let her fall into the lake in the imperial garden and drown."

She is a princess, and if she wants to live happily, the people she hates must die.

She stood on the high balcony and looked at the girl with a peach-cheeked face and a begonia flower skirt being knocked into the lake by the palace maids, rising and falling like a flower.

If you die in the imperial city, you can only blame yourself for your bad fate. You can't blame the imperial concubine. At most, two maids can be buried with her.

But it was a pity that the delicate flower of Mrs. Du Sanni did not wither, and was rescued by the prince who happened to be passing by.

The prince adhered to the etiquette and made skin-to-skin contact with the girl, so he took the initiative to propose marriage.

No girl or girl's family can refuse the prince's marriage proposal.

She didn't need to do anything next. Shangguanxue no longer had a sweetheart, so she took over Princess Shang's imperial edict before the third wife of the Du family got married to the prince.

The third wife of the Du family became the crown princess and will become the queen in the future.

What a lucky fate.

At a family banquet, Princess Jinyu finally couldn't help being jealous and maliciously told Madam Du San, "You have to thank me for today."

When she learned that there was such a reason, Mrs. Du Sanni looked surprised and continued to claim innocence, explaining that she had no personal relationship with Shangguan's consort.

Princess Jinyu was too lazy to believe it, but she did not dwell on the old story, because although Lady Du Sanni explained that she had no affair with Shangguan's consort, her acceptance of today's status was due to Princess Jinyu. She diligently gave Princess Jinyu many gifts, and often interacted with Princess Jinyu. When going back and forth, treat Princess Jinyu as a distinguished guest.

Princess Jinyu was very satisfied with the Crown Princess's attitude, and she was also proud that she had such a handle. In the future, when the Crown Princess became a queen, she would have to be courteous to her.

Otherwise, all she needs to do is provoke the emperor's brother, and Mrs. Du Sanni will not have a good life.

At that time, she felt that it was good that Mrs. Du San was not dead. They were both in her hands, and she should be grateful to her.

Unexpectedly…..

When the prince began to be questioned by his father, he asked other princes and princesses for help in explaining to his father.

But the princes and princesses avoided it for fear of getting into trouble.

The aristocratic families in the capital also avoided it.

Until the emperor punished him again and again, each time the crime became more serious, the prince was like a trapped animal and finally went crazy.

It turns out not everyone avoided it.

Shangguanxue actually dared to take away the little grandson under the emperor's order to kill the prince's family!

Is this for the prince?

Of course not!

This is for Mrs. Du San!

Princess Jinyu looked at Shangguan Yue's face in front of her, as if she saw Lady Du Sanni sitting in front of her and smiling gently at her.

This smile poured over her body like burning oil, burning her whole body.

It turns out that the person who makes Shangguan Xue work hard is his sweetheart.

It turns out that in front of the deep love between these two people, she is a joke!
