I am a fake princess, after the new king forced the palace to rebel successfully.
The nine-thousand-year-old beside the new king of the dynasty was red through half the sky, and Ji Hanlan showed his intentions.
But he said that he was in love with Miss Liu and wanted to marry her.
I refused, so he knelt in the snow all night and almost froze to death.
That's it, in that case, I won't force it anymore, anyway, I'm going to be the queen.
But later, I learned in the letter that there was something else going on in this matter......
1
My acquaintance with Ji Handeng was in the cold palace after the abolition.
At that time, he was not the nine-thousand-year-old that everyone feared, and I was not the emperor's favored concubine.
The palace maid and the guards gave birth to me by fornication, and I have stayed in the cold palace since I was born.
There was no life in the cold palace, and the only three living creatures were me, Hongling, and the madman in the courtyard who was holding the swaddling clothes and muttering every day.
It was the wife who was abandoned by the current saint, the former queen mother, and now the poor person who went crazy because of the miscarriage and lost her child.
In the winter of the year I was eight years old, on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, the only lord in the courtyard, the queen who was abolished, contracted tuberculosis and died.
Hongling painted the only two remaining red candles in the room with white powder on the wall and lit them, which was regarded as a tribute to the main priest in the courtyard.
I was ignorant, and bowed my head like Hongling, but my hand restlessly walked along with a small piece of pastry on the table.
It was at this time that Ji Handeng broke in.
冷风呼啸，他衣上沾着血，双目赤红犹如罗刹。
"Where's my sister?!"
I remember him screaming like this, hoarse, and stunned at the sight of the white candle altar in the room.
No one in the cold room dared to answer him.
I was still holding the pastry in my hand, and fear made my hands tremble, and the pastry was crumbled.
I think this man is crazy, or else he would be so sad to cry at a dead body.
Hongling's mission pressed me not to raise my head.
But curiosity is greater than fear, nature dictates it, I raised my eyes and crashed into Ji Handeng's eyes.
There is no sadness, only great ambition.
I was with him all the way.
2
On the second day after the abolition of the queen's death, someone came to the palace of Yongning County.
The county king's mansion is the mother's house after the abolition, and when the emperor was still the prince in the early years, the king of Yongning County has always been interested in the prince's party.
But the old county king calculated for half his life, but he never thought that today's majesty, the prince he assisted, would be able to ruthlessly give up more than ten years of husband and wife love and force his daughter to a dead end.
The servants carried the coffin all the way out of the palace, and Hongling also pulled me out of the cold palace step by step.
It stands to reason that the child born of the guard and the palace maid was supposed to sink into the pond, but Hongling was kind-hearted and saved me who should have drowned at the bottom of the pond.
I'm just one of the lonely souls in the palace.
But now that the abolished righteous brother broke into the palace at night to see my sister-in-law, my existence was singled out.
There is no other reason.
Just because the abolition queen was already pregnant when she was knocked out of the cold palace by the current emperor, it is rumored that the child slipped in less than a month, and the abolition queen became a madman.
But it was something that happened in a deserted and cold palace, only anecdotes, and no one had really seen it.
I was led to the residence of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother twisted the Buddha beads and looked at my face for a long time, "How old are you?"
"Five. 」
At the age of eight years old, because of perennial hunger, yellow muscles and thin muscles, it is not surprising to say that he is four years old.
"...... Raw Dragon"
I raised my eyes and looked at her timidly, "Sister Ling said yes...... The first month has not yet passed. 」
The Queen Mother finally sighed and told the palace maid to bring me food.
"The emperor didn't want to admit it, so the mourning family admitted it, Chang Chun, the purpose of the mourning family, Princess Anhua. 」
3
My title as a princess was deceitful.
When I was four years old, I saw Hongling bury the bones of a child who died early after the abolition under the peach tree in the cold palace courtyard.
Hongling said that she didn't have a sister, and I was her sister.
After the abolition died, there was no one in the cold palace, and the young man who broke into the palace day and night to rescue his sister-in-law had been pressed by the emperor in the Shen Punishment Division waiting to be beheaded.
The emperor seems to hate the deposed queen very much, along with anyone who has anything to do with the abolition.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, we are all just cheap.
But I don't want to die, I don't want me to die, and I don't want Hongling to die.
Being a fake princess is like being a corpse.
So I panicked.
The queen mother's princess Anwar soon became a part of the harem.
The thirteenth day of the first lunar month is the birthday I told the Queen Mother.
The only daughter of the first queen, the granddaughter of the king of Yongning County, the emperor didn't want to give face, but the queen mother insisted on holding a beautiful birthday banquet for me.
Many delicacies from the mountains and seas that I have never seen are even better than the food of the gods in the sky.
It's wonderful to be a princess.
Towards the end of the feast, I filled my sleeve pocket with shrimp and crab snacks and sneaked out into the back garden.
I specifically instructed Hongling to wait there for me after I was done.
But halfway through, he was stopped by Yuehua.
Yuehua is the daughter of the emperor's new concubine, who has only turned nine years old this year, and is an arrogant and domineering lord with her mother.
"You are the one who was sealed by the Queen Mother...... Anwar?"
The little princess was half a head taller than me, and when she looked down at me, she looked down at me like a poor animal on the ground.
And she said the same, "Anwar, you also have a Chinese character in your name, but how is it like the dog that the royal brother gave to the princess last year?"
4
"Sister Anwar is from the cold palace, and she may often play with wild dogs, so she is naturally close to Zhu Zhe Chibei. 」
The children of the family behind the little princess followed the doglegs.
I stood in front of them, like a puppy.
"The Emperor...... Sister Huang......"
I was so scared that I stumbled even to speak.
Yuehua laughed out loud, "Why are you so cute?
I lowered my head and stopped daring to speak.
Here is far from the back garden, rockery and green bamboo, but the pool in early spring is cold to the bone, swimming a time will definitely be a serious illness.
No one can save me, I clenched my palms and waited for the little overlord to leave when he got tired of it.
But she seemed interested, "Jump down, the royal sister will reward you." 」
I turned and ran.
but was dragged back. The water in the pool is cold, and the gushing of mouth and nose is extremely uncomfortable.
I swam to the other side of the rockery, tripped over something, and when I looked up, I realized that there was another person in the water.
Fifteen-year-old Ji Handeng was not killed by the emperor's order for trespassing into the palace, but was humiliated in every way, sentenced to palace punishment, and became a low-level eunuch who brushed the toilet in Xinzheku.
And because of his identity as the son of Wang Yizi of Yongning County, he was excluded everywhere in the palace.
No, the others made mistakes, but he was used as a gunman, and he was punished by the nobles who ordered them to be chained to the pool.
I felt curious, shook the chain, and Ji Hanlan opened his eyes.
"Xiao Xuan's daughter?" he said, his face turned pale and angry, and he laughed, "You deceived the Queen Mother?"
I froze for a moment.
Bai Yuyu Pei's fingers hurt, this was just from Yuehua, in fact, I also took the opportunity to sprinkle some itchy powder on her, but I don't know how effective it is.
5
"Are you stupid?" I pretended not to understand Ji Handeng's words, and slowly crawled out of the pool shaking the water stains on my body, "Then how did you get locked up here, what you said definitely won't work." 」
"I, what about me, but a dog raised in the palace of Yongning County," Ji Handeng said indifferently, "Just like you." 」
I didn't like his nonchalant tone, wondering what it would take to make the biggest hole in his head.
Before he could figure it out, Ji Handeng spoke again, "Come here." 」
He asked me to go over and untie his chains.
The chains were sunk in the flesh, and when I opened them with the key, the man grinned in pain, but never screamed.
It's kind of a man.
"If you want to live in this palace, I'll help you. 」
He leaned against the rockery and exhaled slowly, looking embarrassed and funny, but he spoke to me like this.
I think he should take care of his own life and death first.
So I said, "This princess has the pity of her own imperial grandmother, so you don't have to worry about it. 」
"Grandmother?" Ji Handeng smiled even lower, "Little girl, look, even though it's your birthday banquet, can't you also be bullied by Yuehua openly?"
6
When the news of the death of the second son of the Xiao family on the battlefield spread all the way from the frontier to the palace of Yongning County, the old county king was immediately anxious and could not afford to fall ill.
The emperor was probably crazy with joy.
I was taking a nap in the yard, thinking about whether the plum blossom cake was delicious or the poria cake was delicious.
The third princess bullied Hongling yesterday, should I let her accidentally fall into the lake, or should I put poisonous insects under her bed.
Before I could make up my mind, my father came.
This is the first time I have come to the palace to see him in two years, not to show concern for my own daughter, but to tell me with a smile that my grandfather is dying.
It doesn't really have anything to do with me.
But I was still called to the Yongning County Palace.
The old county king was indeed dying, lying on the bed and shouting "Wanwan", "Wanwan".
Xiao Xuan, the deceased queen of the abolition.
The old lady took my hand and handed it to the old county king, "Look who is coming, this is Wanwan's own daughter, look at it." 」
But another hand stopped my hand.
Ji Handeng is the most unpopular outsider in the county king's mansion, and now he has been deposed as a eunuch, which has become a shame in the huge mansion.
But the old county king is critically ill, but he is here today. He didn't come as the son of the king of the county.
The little eunuch who washed the toilet in Xin's library has only been in the Internal Affairs Office for two years, and has become the person who sends the verdict to the Xiao family today.
The splendid red robe made his complexion extremely fair and bewitching.
but they are a great match for me.
Ji Handeng asked me to retreat behind him, and then I began to count the unknown past.
In the tenth winter of Layue, the old county king, who was still young at the time, killed one of his subordinates while marching.
This subordinate is Ji Handeng's father, who has just written a letter of peace to his wife and children at home.
turned his head but accidentally heard the conspiracy of the old county king and the prince, and was picked out of his tongue and died of pain.
Ji Handeng's mother, not long after that, hanged herself in a depressed mood.
Therefore, after more than ten years of forbearance in the county king's mansion, even if he has been abolished as a eunuch, Ji Handeng is here to avenge his father today.
7
Today's saint's dislike of the Xiao family is a well-known thing.
When Xiao Juan married the emperor who was still the crown prince, the emperor was actually already entangled with a foreign woman.
But the Xiao family is strong, and Xiao Juan is an arrogant and noble daughter, so the old county king became the princess in order to let his daughter worry about the future.
He killed the foreign woman and pretended to be someone else who had eloped.
For so many years, he thought that he was deeply hidden, and thought that the emperor would scruple about many years of friendship after all. But I don't know that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, how can the emperor keep such a knife by his side.
Ji Handeng said to cooperate with me.
And I was just asking others to offer a plan to kill two birds with one stone for the emperor.
It's a little more vicious, but it needs a sharp blade that has just been opened.
Not dangerous, but deadly enough.
Children who have grown up in the cold since childhood are always precocious.
Ji Han's lamp is that sharp blade.
He had a grudge against the Xiao family, and rose all the way to the head of internal affairs, and finally killed the Xiao family personally with the holy decree, and did not even let go of a dog in the courtyard.
The holy decree is the emperor's will, but the person was killed by him Ji Handeng, and the cruelty of the method is unheard of.
So the spearhead of the ministers of the court was pointed at the young and bloodthirsty head of the internal affairs department.
There are countless excerpts of the cold lanterns in the season, and all of them have been beaten down without exception.
As we expected.
8
A few days later is the annual Flower Dynasty Festival of the Sui Dynasty.
The joy of the festival preparations soon covered the matter of Ji Handeng's slaughter of Xiao Mansion that day.
This is an inevitable thing, and His Majesty will do it sooner or later, but it just happens to be in advance.
The life of a prince is nothing more than that.
And because of the Flower Dynasty Festival, Yuehua specially asked her mother to ask the emperor for the best jade silk and made a colorful dress.
I know what she wants to do, Yuehua likes the second son of Shangshufu, others don't know, but I know.
It's just that this second son Gu has always been cold, and I'm afraid that he won't be interested in Yuehua's swagger.
I have to think of something to help Yuehua. But there's no rush on this matter, because I have more important things to do.
The House of Internal Affairs is not far from my residence, and there is a laurel tree in front of the wing house on the east side of the courtyard.
When I went, Ji Handeng was in the house, served by four maids, wearing outer robes.
The robe is made of Luo brocade yarn and embroidered with auspicious patterns, which is very flattering to him.
"What's the matter? There are two more hairpins on my head today?"
When Ji Handeng saw me coming, he couldn't help but laugh.
I like his quips, not hurried, just right. Not as annoying as I was when I first met him.
Ji Handeng waved his hand to order the maids to retreat.
I crossed my legs, and sat down on the stool where he had just finished dressing.
The pomegranate gilt hairpin is a good thing, and the important thing is that the ruby embedded in it was given to me by Ji Hanlan himself.
I looked at Jin Hai for a long time and said, "Thank you for that day. 」
The emperor provoked me to go to the county king's mansion, with the intention of killing me, the remnant of the sin.
But Ji Handeng saved me.
Maybe it's the same bad past, or maybe he's just boring.
But he saved me, and I can't thank me enough.
9
"But with a gesture, the princess is polite. Ji Handeng said.
"You're welcome! I pressed down his hand to tie the jade pendant around his waist, "Tomorrow's Flower Festival, this is beautiful, wear it." 」
The peach pit that I went to the temple to ask for, hung under the jade pendant as a pendant, I was not willing to use it myself.
"What you asked for me?" Ji Handeng sneered.
For a moment, I seemed to see the tips of his ears red.
But for a moment, Ji Handeng accepted it as a matter of course, checked it, and then complained shamelessly, "The carving is so thick, I gave the old bald donkey money for nothing." 」
I thought about what I should do to beat him.
The Flower Dynasty Festival is a big festival of the Sui Dynasty, on this day, both the officials and the common people will gather together to enjoy the flowers and watch the show.
The emperor set up the Hundred Flowers Banquet next to Jiayu Taihu Lake.
There was a repertoire at the banquet, and Yuehua originally wanted to perform a jade dance at the banquet to show off her style.
But God didn't like it, and her glittering dress was thrown away in a pinch.
I searched all over the palace where people slept, but I still couldn't see it.
Yuehua naturally lost her temper.
Before I led the palace maid to Ruyue Palace, I heard the sound of things being broken inside.
"The dog stole something from this princess, if the Godfather Emperor knows, how many of you think will survive?"
In the courtyard, a palace eunuch knelt down, and Yuehua stood in the middle of them, her face flushed.
"Imperial Sister," I said, smiling, "why are you so angry?
Yuehua came to disagree with me, and immediately fought back, "What does this princess have to do with you when she loses something!"
"That's wrong," the embroidered fan shook tiredly, and I left it to the palace maid on the side, before whispering to Yuehua, "Sister's business is my sister's business, my sister wants to get Gu Jiaerlang's heart, and my sister can help you." 」
10
Yuehua doesn't believe that I have such a good heart.
Indeed, I don't have such good intentions.
The emperor has many children, although I am obviously from the first queen, I am a princess.
But the emperor was disgusted with succession, and now the Xiao family, the mother family of succession, has completely collapsed, and I am really alone in this huge palace.
Ji Handeng and I are of the same heart.
But after all, we are weak, so we need to think more long-term than others think.
I chose another set of blue-pink dresses for Yuehua, and then added some white jade hairpins on my head, which was smart and noble.
Yuehua said very awkwardly, my aesthetics are not bad.
This is natural, what this princess does, which is not carefully planned and step-by-step.
And the person chosen by this princess must be the most special one in the world.
The carriage that Gu Ergongzi was riding alone broke down on the way to the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
The bad location is impartial, and it is not far from the meditation temple on the outskirts.
I led Yuehua to wait in the temple for a long time.
It is rumored that the biological mother of this second son of Gu is a disciple of Qing Xiu, and Gu Yanbai has been influenced by Buddhism since he was a child, and he must visit every temple.
When the time came, the handkerchief that Yuehua had thrown away was picked up by Gu Yanbai.
I hid behind the rockery, and looked at Yuehua, who was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, as if she had changed someone.
Gently and softly talked to Gu Yanbai, and carefully took the handkerchief from the young man's hand.
Tsk, I really didn't see it.
Sure enough, this chance encounter at the temple left a deep impression on Gu Yanbai.
After a few months, Yuehua would definitely meet Gu Yanbai when she went to the temple.
And the marriage between the two of them was finally proposed to the emperor by Lao Shangshu in March of the following year.
It's not a waste of my hard work in the past few months.
11
The engagement banquet is held in April, and in three years, Yue Hua and Lu will be married.
She can marry out of the palace as soon as possible, which has a lot of benefits for me.
The princes in the palace are all young except for the crown prince, and the eldest of the princesses who can speak is me except for Yuehua.
When Yuehua leaves, I will naturally be the most noble princess of Dasui.
The emperor had to admit it if he didn't want to.
On the day Yuehua got married, she came to give me a wedding with red makeup.
It's just that she doesn't drink well, she is drunk, and her mouth full of compliments has become accusations and complaints in the end.
She said that I was a sinister and cunning person, and that I was the least of them.
I laughed dumbly and asked, "The first time you see your friend, you take a cold shower, is that a thing?"
Yuehua said that we are not things.
We're not things, that's true.
In the summer of this year, Ji Handeng was transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the celebrant supervisor, in charge of the review and seal of all the approvals of the imperial court, and it can be said that he is only one step away from reaching the status of one person and ten thousand people.
The little prince of the Guogong Mansion openly impeached Ji Handeng in the court, and the next day, his body was hung in front of the Guogong Mansion.
The new waiter of the Ministry of Rites only told his friend about Ji Handeng's fault on the front foot, and His Majesty's rebellious decree on the back foot had already arrived at his house.
All opponents should be killed, and those who should be surrendered will be surrendered, and there are a large number of people who are temporarily banned from the court.
I've heard those people's comments on Ji Handeng, "The eyes will be rewarded, the ambition of the villain." 」
Not a good word.
But long after that, I also learned another thing that these so-called ministers had to say about him—"both good and evil." 」
12
Xu Wei was the first customer I recruited after the ceremony.
Before he came to Kyoto, he had actually been working under King Yan.
The king of Yan is located in the northern land and holds a male army.
The emperor's health has deteriorated in recent years, and he wants to pass on the throne to his own crown prince, so he always wants to cut the military power of King Yan.
Ji Handeng is the new chief eunuch, and he has a deep connection with the eldest princess, so he is also worried.
He was worried that his crown prince would be framed by other sons, so he didn't think that his prince would frame others.
It's ridiculous to look at.
This is my ninth birthday gift to Ji Handeng.
A kitsch windmill, rotatable and detachable, but a folk trick, but I had a whole box of halva in a box under the windmill.
Ji Hanlan loves to eat.
July was already in the scorching heat, and I was not too hot to take a carriage to his house to give gifts, but I was shut down.
The little maid at the door bowed his hand respectfully and replied to me, "The palm print has rested, and I hope the princess will come back to visit another day." 」
What kind of sleep did he sleep in the early morning, he was simply pulling a calf, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
"Princess Ben, wait here, it's not too late for the palm print to wake up and go in. I'm not annoyed, I'm still willing to wait for the cold light.
The little guy is very embarrassed.
I told him not to be embarrassed.
Shouldn't the grumpy one in the door be the one who should be embarrassed?
Ji Handeng's temper was troubled for a moment.
I went into the courtyard, and sure enough, I saw someone sitting at a stone table drinking tea.
"What's the matter? I've been busy with official business lately, and I'm emotionally upset, and you're thinking of looking for me to get into a temper?" I teased, pouring myself a cup of tea.
Ji Handeng just ignored it.
Today, he only had a jade jade pendant on his waist, and his clothes were plain, in short, different from usual.
But that's not the most important thing. What matters is the only falling object around his waist.
Yuheng was given by me, so I squinted and looked at it for a long time, and my heart became extremely magnanimous, and I felt much more interesting to play Tai Chi with Ji Handeng.
"I heard that you have recently recruited a guest?" Ji Handeng finally spoke, "Xu Wei under King Yan?"
13
"Hmm. I was bored and perfunctory, "But the doorman, when I get close to King Yan, I always feel that the emperor wants to cut off my head. 」
Ji Handeng smiled helplessly, "Just a doorman?"
"What, you're jealous?" I looked at him with my head propped up.
"I'm just worried about the princess......
I didn't bother to listen to him say nice things again, so I put the wooden box on the table and left, "Happy birthday, gift." 」
Due to the major change of blood in the court in recent months, the dissatisfaction of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government with Ji Handeng has almost disappeared.
But the rumors about me and Ji Handeng in the neighborhood gradually spread.
The eldest princess and the palm seal eunuch became friends, and word of mouth passed on for several rounds.
One day, Hongling came back from buying cow cheese from Ma Ji Shop and told me that it had been rumored that I had raised Ji Hanlan as a noodle head.
It's ridiculous.
But I'm glad they did.
But I was not glad in the future, because the words reached the ears of the emperor.
Ji Handeng and I are going to unite to rebel - these are the original words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to remind the emperor.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother pretended to be sick the next day and asked me to go to her Cining Palace.
It's not a shame to raise a face, it's just that the celebrant is bloodthirsty and kills too much.
is still a child and grandchild, although he looks better, but he can't get along for a long time after all.
The Queen Mother nagged a lot, just wanting me to stay away from Ji Handeng.
It is impossible to stay away from the seasonal cold lantern.
It was only when I came out of the Cining Hall that I met the emperor.
The old guy of the Queen Mother is immoral, and I raised my eyes to see a touch of bright yellow and knew that this was the Queen Mother and the Emperor who were waiting for me to enter the palace together.
14
I saluted the Emperor.
The emperor's expression seemed to be in a trance.
"Not like your mother. He stared at me carefully.
I smiled and listened to him continue, "Your queen mother loved to wear bright red riding clothes in her life, and she could hold a carved bow, which was not very popular with the palace people. 」
"I want to please everyone in the palace. I quietly bypassed the subject.
She had been dead for ten years, and on the day she died, she was covered by nothing more than a coarse linen garment.
But the emperor now came to me and pretended to be affectionate.
"Come to my study to catch up. After this nostalgia was over, the emperor finally told the true purpose of his trip.
So after the three of us had dinner together, I accompanied the emperor to the study.
"Someone told me that you and Ji Handeng have joined forces to rebel?"
Halfway through the heart-to-heart conversation between father and daughter, the emperor went straight to the point.
Like many years ago, when he bluntly told me that my grandfather was dying.
I was busy prostrate on my knees, and the porcelain plate hurt my knees.
"Anwar doesn't dare. 」
15
In the end, the emperor just wants to warn me that I am a princess of a country, and I am in charge of such a big day as a sacrifice, and I am also friendly with many people in the court and in the locality, and he can't kill me immediately.
But for many months since this day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was always thinking of a way to fight against Ji Handeng, stopped.
Very unusual.
There is always a faint feeling that something big is going to happen.
The first winter snow of the year came very late, and on the night when the snow finally fell, I sat in front of the window with the stove in front of the window for a long time.
Hongling went to bed early, and she was awakened by the chaotic shouting outside the princess's mansion.
"Princess!" she rushed into my room as soon as she woke up, "Your Majesty's Imperial Guards have surrounded the Princess's Mansion, we are really in danger this time, the princess will follow the slave ......
"Sister Ling," I stopped Hongling, "Your Majesty can't kill me. 」
After months of dormancy and months of planning, the emperor is really old, and he doesn't know that he is acting, and others may be acting with him?
I put on a fox coat and went out, and the Emperor's guards had already broken through the door.
