The step screen was quickly removed, and even though the palace people stepped forward to support the prince, who was already sweating profusely and exhausted. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The prince was trapped in the step screen to rest for a moment, and he had recovered some strength, and the instrument knife was picked up and held in his hand, and he turned his head to see Princess Xingnan sitting on the ground, covering her face with both hands as if she was sobbing, and her small eyes, which were not big, suddenly glared: "You dare to hurt my sister!" ”

"Aliu, I'm fine!"

Princess Xingnan wiped the tears on her face and spoke out to stop the prince who was about to rush to the palace to provoke.

She's never used to being timid in front of people, but she's been much more sensitive to a lot of things lately. In addition to helping the queen mother fight grievances this time, there are other meanings, but these feelings are mixed together in her heart, and she can't tell them at all at her age, but suddenly sadness arises from her heart, which makes her suddenly become sad and stubborn.

After hearing this, the prince stopped his movements, glared at the palace people angrily, and then walked in front of the princess, brandished a ceremonial knife to force back the palace people, and put on a posture of protecting his sister, but he didn't know that with his short and fat figure, there was really no deterrent power in the eyes of adults.

After a while, Song Ji walked out of the hall, stood sideways under the corridor and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty summoned the prince and princess into the palace to speak." ”

Hearing this, the prince's expression suddenly became nervous, and he looked at Princess Xingnan with a bitter face: "Sister, will my father blame us......

"What are you afraid of? I forced you to come this time, and I will bear all the blame! ”

Princess Xingnan stood up, patted the dust on her body, her little face was resolute, and tears were still rolling in her eyes: "I will be kicked out of the house by them, and what punishment is terrible!" ”

"Sister......

The prince could finally feel the princess's sadness, grabbed the corner of the princess's clothes with his little hand, followed the princess and walked towards the palace with his head down, only when he walked past Song Ji's side, he remembered today's business, pointed at Song Ji and scolded: "You woman, although you are born beautiful, but you do things wrong, why do you embarrass my mother and ask her to cry every day?" ”

Shouting in his mouth, he looked at the princess cautiously and then at the palace, worried that his sister would be dissatisfied if he said the wrong thing, and he was afraid that his father in the palace would hear and blame him.

"Aliu, don't talk nonsense with her!"

The princess glanced at Song Ji hatefully, she didn't know too much about people, she only knew that because Song Ji suddenly had a sense of existence in the garden, many things were completely different. The father who loved her in the past became more and more rare, and the queen mother treated her more and more harshly, until now both parents can't wait to push her out of the house.

Although she has a lot of strong words, and refuses to be looked down upon and ridiculed for showing disappointment and sadness, she has little affection and even hatred for Song Ji, the initiator who caused many changes in her life in her mind.

Song Ji saw the princess and the prince walking in front of her and walking into the palace, but there was a helpless wry smile on her delicate face. She is just a pitiful person in troubled times, she doesn't dare to do evil and is not worthy of evil, the emperor wants to use her to cover up some things, she doesn't even have the qualifications and courage to refuse. The princess resented her, and even though she was wronged in her heart, she did not dare to defend herself.

Although she was coldly regarded by the princess, Song Ji did not have too much resentment in her heart. Although this girl's identity has a judgment with her, when it comes to the sad and predicament she faces, although the circumstances are different, the meaning is always the same, and most of them are powerless and obedient. It's just that the princess is much luckier than her, and she can resist a little to vent, but she has no qualifications to be presumptuous.

Recently, in front of the king every day, I saw a respected person in the world continue his life like a fly and an insect, suffering hard, humble and tenacious, just to complete a duty he should fulfill, which made Song Ji feel that since people live in the world, they really don't have to complain about the heavens and others, as long as they can endure many hardships, they must work hard to live.

She raised her hand and stroked her eyebrows to drive away a trace of tiredness, put away many reveries in her heart, and then hurried into the temple. She knew the emperor's condition best, and she could faint at any time due to lack of energy, and if she didn't serve by her side, she might frighten the two princes and princesses.

Princess Xingnan lowered her head after entering the palace, she knew that she was really making too much trouble today, and she was afraid that she would inevitably be severely punished by her father. It's just that many feelings have been in my heart recently, even if I know that I have done something wrong, it is difficult to lower my head and admit my mistake at this time.

The emperor saw the princess marching into the hall with a calm face behind the screen, and the stubborn look between her eyebrows was the same as when she was young, and her face, which had been tormented by illness and lost her shape recently, had subconsciously revealed a hint of a smile. It wasn't until he saw the prince behind the princess that he was timid but strong, and the emperor's face was even more radiant.

It is true that he is the princess Xingnan who is more like him in his heart, but the crown prince is his successor to the throne, how can he not care, but the requirements are different, and the ways of attention are different. But for the prince, who usually had a cowardly temperament, dared to break into his bedroom with the princess today, the emperor was also a little relieved.

He didn't want the crown prince to be a rebellious tyrant, but he also didn't want to see his son cowardly and unassertive. Especially in today's world, he and the former emperor have suffered from the suppression and imprisonment of powerful ministers. If the prince blindly weakens and endures, it is not a blessing.

"Aliu, come here."

The emperor's heart moved, and he spoke behind the screen.

Hearing that his father only called his name, the prince's little face suddenly wrinkled, and he looked at Princess Xingnan and cried: "Sister, I ......"

"Don't be afraid, we didn't do anything wrong!"

Princess Xingnan comforted the prince, but her eyes instantly turned red, and her father was really tired of seeing herself, so she only called Aliu in but didn't call her name. Sure enough, she is already a superfluous person in the garden, no wonder her father is in such a hurry to marry herself!

At her age, when the personnel first dawned, although the palace people didn't dare to say much in front of her, she also heard about the haste of this marriage behind her back, and then she was depressed in her heart. In today's big scene, there is no shortage of thoughts about seeing my father and asking what is going on, but my father doesn't want to see her at all......

After seeing the prince walk into the screen, Princess Xingnan turned to look at a carved wall, and couldn't help but stay in tears. She gritted her silver teeth and tried not to let herself sob, and when she heard Song Ji's footsteps entering the hall, she felt even more ashamed in her heart, and looked up at the beam, letting the tears drip down her chin.

After a while, feeling the corners of her clothes being pulled, the princess lowered her head and saw the prince standing behind her, with a hint of joy on her face, and whispered: "Sister, my father didn't blame me, but praised me......"

"Oh."

Princess Xingnan wiped the tears that had been dried, turned around and walked out of the hall.

"Sister, sister...... Father wants to see you again! ”

When the prince saw the princess turn around and leave, he hurriedly waved his hand and said loudly.

When the princess heard this, she paused, and then turned to look at the screen, but she did not hear her father's voice, and the disappointment in her eyes was even stronger. She groaned slightly, and then strode inside: "Aliu, you wait here for me for a moment. ”

She will definitely see her father today, and ask the questions that lie in her heart clearly!

The light behind the screen was slightly dim, and the princess walked in for a moment before her vision recovered, and then she saw several palace people gathered in front of the couch, and the hateful Song Ji was facing away from her, just blocking her father's face, and only a corner of the clothes could be seen.

Smelling the smell of the strong medicinal soup in the room, Princess Xingnan's heart sank, and she took a few steps forward, and saw her father leaning on the couch with his eyes closed and at the mercy of the palace people, and his pale and thin face was very different from what she remembered.

"Song Ji, you dare to harm my father!"

Seeing this scene, the princess's heartstrings were already tense, and in a hurry, she still remembered to pull out another hidden instrument knife from her boots, and rushed forward with a shout.

"Xingnan, stop!"

The emperor talked with the crown prince for a while, his spirit was already tired, and he was served by the palace people to drink the decoction, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that the princess looked a little hideous and rushed up with a knife, and hurriedly shouted.

Song Ji heard the emperor's shout, turned her head slightly and her face changed, and she hurriedly fell on the couch, and the knife fell to the ground with her back shirt. Princess Xingnan threw away the ritual knife and pushed Song Ji to the side with all her strength, her expression full of vigilance: "You quickly retreat from my father's side!" ”

The emperor reached out and grabbed the princess's wrist to pull her closer, then waved his hand to signal Song Ji and the palace people to retreat, and then squeezed out a smile on his face: "My little daughter already knows how to care about the safety of her father...... My Xingnan has grown up! ”

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Princess Xingnan grabbed the emperor's thin fingers, her expression was surprised, frightened, and sad, although she was young, she could also see that her father's situation was worrying.

The emperor raised his head with some difficulty, looked at his daughter's tear-stained little face, although there were many feelings of sadness in his heart, the corners of his mouth were still smiling: "My father and the emperor occasionally feel a little sick, slightly reduced, how can I bear not to see my girl, but this look is afraid that it will surprise you......"

"Father, you lie down."

The princess was a little clumsy and surrounded the brocade quilt around the emperor, but tears rolled down again, and she sobbed: "It's my mistake, father...... I shouldn't, I ...... I just miss my father, and I'm afraid I'll never see ...... again."

The emperor stretched out his hand and grabbed the princess, who was a little at a loss: "How can it be wrong for children to miss their parents?" It's just that my father didn't know how to take care of his body earlier, so he couldn't always accompany my little daughter. Xingnan, let my father take a closer look at you...... When you go to your husband's house in the future, remember not to do things willfully, but to know how to be gentle and gentle, so that you can not see your husband and get ......along in harmony."

"Father, I don't want to get married! I don't want to...... I want to guard you, I want to see my father every day, I, I don't quarrel with Aliu anymore...... Father, I know I'm wrong! Don't kick me out of the house, okay? ”

Even though the ten-year-old girl is stubborn, she can't hold on anymore at this time, and Princess Xingnan crouched in front of the couch with tears in her eyes, complaining sadly.

The emperor smiled bitterly, and gently rubbed his fingers against the tears on his daughter's delicate cheeks: "Don't say such stupid things, men should get married, women should marry, this is human ethics." Children love their parents, but it is difficult for parents to stay with their children all the time. My little daughter will have her own children one day, and by that time, you should understand that my father has never been tired of seeing my girl, but many things in the world are helpless and willful......"

"But, but my father is the king, and I can do whatever I want! Father, I really know that I am wrong...... Don't drive me away......"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes closed, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes: "I think about it too much...... Alas, Xingnan, although his father is a king, he is also a widow...... If there is a choice, I am willing to take my wife and children, take my girl, walk with Changganli, swim leisurely, boat Qinhuai lotus fishing, and do not return home at night......"

Princess Xingnan's crying stopped abruptly, she had never seen her father cry in front of her. At the moment, she didn't know the meaning of this scene, but her father's melancholy and yearning look was deeply imprinted in her heart.
