Chapter 200 The World of Two Women
Out of the emperor's bedroom, the red sandalwood stood at the door for a while, and then honestly returned to his residence. If she wants to go out, no one can stop her, but she doesn't want to go out yet.
There are people leading the way in front of you, and there are people following behind you. This is the royal style. When he arrived at the bedroom, there was another person kneeling on his knees.
"Get up." She walked between them and said lightly.
As soon as she sat down a few times after the gilded case, a maid of honor came and asked, "Your Highness, the eldest princess has arrived."
The eldest princess, the red sandalwood searched around in his mind, but there was no impression of this person. I don't know what's the so-called thing for this nominal sister? Please."
The maid of honor bowed down and retreated, and a palace woman soon appeared in the hall. The woman was dressed in a hollowed-out robe made of golden silk thread, a long skirt, and her head was swaying step by step.
The woman is slightly rich, dignified and comfortable, and her smiling face is very close to people.
Red sandalwood did not get up to greet each other, and the woman did not blame. She raised a smiling face, saw a slight salute, and said with a smile, "Thirteenth sister, my sister is polite."
"Princess, please sit down." Red sandalwood did not call his sister. He politely put people in position, and then went straight to the point, "I don't know what the eldest princess is doing?"
Although she was light and polite on her face, she didn't have the intimacy of her own sisters. The eldest princess smiled and whispered, "Can you ask my sister to back?"
Sure enough, there is nothing to do in the Three Treasures Hall. The red sandalwood waved his hand, and the people in the hall retreated very sensively, and even the door of the hall was thoughtfully closed.
The eldest princess was relieved, and her whole body seemed to be much more relaxed. She stood up and approached the red sandalwood, stared at her for a while, stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch her, but smiled and put it down. Her eyes were very soft, and she recalled, "You and Aunt Su are really similar. They all have a feeling of being far away. Sometimes, it makes people feel unbearable."
Red Sandalwood didn't know what she wanted to do, but the eldest princess gave her a good feeling. If she remembers correctly, the eldest princess is twenty-five but still unmarried, which has always been very thought-inducing in leaving the country. Women in this world usually get married at the age of 16, 25 years old, and they are really not young. Even if she is a princess, she should be worried about getting married, but her face doesn't seem to care about it.
"Aunt Su was very kind to me when I was a child." She smiled and seemed to feel that it was too close to each other, so she changed the topic and said, "I've also heard about the emperor's marriage."
It's finally on the right track, and the red sandalwood sounded faintly.
She doesn't have a hot pillow, and she doesn't care. She just looked at her and said seriously, "Although I don't have much ability, if Mu'er wants to go to the palace, I will definitely see you off safely."
"Can you help me?" Her quiet eyes were on her. Seeing that there was nothing unnatural about her, she couldn't help but be a little curious: "Why do you help me?"
Red sandalwood originally thought that she was going to talk about Concubine Su, but her dignified and graceful face glowed faintly, and her eyes said firmly, "Cang Guo bullied me too much. I was forced to marry as soon as the end of the war, and I didn't pay attention to my departure. If you really use a princess to reconcile this hegemony, leaving the country will be temporarily peaceful, but the dignity of this country has also been completely trampled on, and there is no way to stand on the mainland and live secretly!"
These words gave Red Sandalwood a new understanding of the eldest princess. In her opinion, a woman can have such a understanding, but it is much better than those men who are harmonious and friendly.
"I appreciate the kindness of the eldest sister." She smiled faintly and said, "Sister, don't worry. I'll figure it out."
The eldest princess looked at her for a while, and suddenly laughed at herself and said, "How can I forget that the thirteenth sister is the leader of a young man who fights in the battlefield? My strength is really insignificant."
"I didn't mean that." Red sandalwood thought for a moment and lightly reminded, "The royal sister misunderstood. It must be not easy for the royal sister to cultivate her own power. If it is used for me, it would be too bad at this juncture. The time is not right. I hope the royal sister won't let Bing Yiyin know too early.
Red sandalwood now knows why a princess is not married and stays in the palace. Suddenly, I admired her courage and used her life to shoulder the burden of a country, and she was so conscientious. This is different from her. She took responsibility for the country because of her mother's will when she left, but the eldest princess, as a princess of a country, wholeheartedly provoked her responsibility as a royal princess.
"Do you regret it?" She suddenly asked, "If you choose this road, you will be destined to be lonely all your life."
The eldest princess was stared at first. I don't know why she suddenly said such a sentence. However, under those thorough eyes, she gradually knew that the person in front of her knew everything. She smiled gently and said, "My birth determines the path of this life. The father had no children under his knees, and he fought openly and secretly in the court for the throne. How can the inheritance of the red sandalwood family be handed over to these ulgar-minded people at ease? Whether I want to or not, I have been told to work hard for this identity since I was a child.
She looked at the red sandalwood with complicated eyes and said, "To be honest, I have paid no less than you over the years. I haven't lost everything that the crown prince has learned, and even worked harder. Because she is a woman, she needs to pay more to get the recognition of others. I don't even know if these efforts can help me succeed in the end. Ha ha, in fact, sometimes, I prefer not to succeed. In this way, it's really easy. I've worked hard. Should I live up to my ancestors?
Red sandalwood listened quietly, listening to the contradictory story of this blood-related woman. She thought that she understood how she felt. There are so many things in the world that you can't help. A person's birth is not a choice, and the so-called envy is superfluous. She thought that the eldest princess must envy the children of ordinary families. Living so relaxed and freely is far more happy than facing the shadow of a whole country day and night.
The most helpless thing is that you can't help yourself.
"I know." Red sandalwood's eyes looked straight into her eyes. She understood why she came and gave her answer.
"Do you believe it? Before I came, I felt that this time, I would succeed. The eldest princess's eyes are full of love. This is an indiscriminate love. It falls gently, silent but warms people's hearts. In some ways, we are the same kind of people.
Red sandalwood did not object and promised to help her because no one was more suitable than her. Even if there had never been an empress in the history of leaving the country, as a woman, she did not think it was impossible.
"Actually, we are not the same kind of person." Red Sandalwood suddenly blinked and smiled and said, "Because I always think about how to escape responsibility."
The eldest princess seemed to be a little surprised, but then smiled and shook her head with a smile, "You."
Compared with her biological father, Zi Tanyu, Red Sandalwood feels that this half-sister is more kind. Although the relationship is not strong, the two are quite harmonious. The shallow laughter falls in the hall from time to time, but it seems that the large empty palace is not so lonely.
The two said without saying a word at noon. Red Sandalwood's words today were surprisingly much. The eldest princess stayed for lunch before leaving. No one came back all afternoon. It was not until the evening that an uninvited guest came.
Bing Yiyin did not come in alone. Behind him was a row of maids of honor with trays.
"Does Xiao Tiange want to see me?" The red sandalwood sat like a wooden stake and asked faintly.
Bing Yiyin said rudely, "Yes, the emperor's instructions."
Looking at the things presented by the maids, she slowly got up and walked over. Her thin fingers picked up the exquisite beads, casually touched the golden clothes, pulled the corners of her mouth lightly, and looked at Bingyi and said, "Your Majesty is really thoughtful."
Bingyi and Yin just showed her complacency, and she added without hurry: "Unfortunately, the leader doesn't like these colors."
Bing Yiyin's face darkened, and the red sandalwood unconsciously added, "I always thought that I had attracted the attention of the prince, but it turned out that the prince didn't even know what color of clothes I often wear."
Everyone knows what the so-called attention means.
"This is the formal dress of the princess who left the country." Bing Yiyin's tone is almost stern, but it's a pity that red sandalwood doesn't like this. Your Highness has been picky many times, but he is not satisfied with my departure from the court?
"That's not so much." Red sandalwood said lightly, "I'm afraid that someone will be dissatisfied with me."
She doesn't care whether she loves to see or not, whether she goes or not.
Bing Yiyin can also guess some of the idea of red sandalwood. He endured, waved his hand and said to the maid of honor, "Go and get that cold cicada dress."
"No." The maid of honor retreated in turn when she heard the words.
Red sandalwood doesn't care about the cold cicada's clothes. After finding faults for a while, she walked calmly in the hall, sweeping around, as if she were sightseeing.
When the cold cicada Tianyi was sent, Bing Yiyin threw his sleeves out. When the cold cicada Tianyi was put on his body, the red sandalwood opened his eyes and looked at it.
The upper body is cool, which is extremely comfortable and cool, like the ice dew in summer. The ice-blue robe is as light as smoke, as if it can be blown away with a gentle blow. The ice phoenix inserted diagonally on the bun was filled with a few wisps of tassels, which fluttered softly with her movements. The finishing touch is the foggy flower on the forehead. The ice-blue petals are looming, as if they are blooming from the skin, and are surrounded by light green smoke. This made her light face almost clear to another world.
Red Sandalwood felt that the woman in the mirror was not real to the extreme, and even she seemed to be unable to grasp it.
She doesn't like this feeling very much.
There was an undisguised exclamation in the eyes of the maid of honor who took care of her. She bowed her head respectfully and said, "Your Highness, all right."
"Hmm." He answered faintly, got up and walked slowly to the door of the hall.
It's really slow, it can't slow down any longer. It's not that she doesn't want to speed up, but that the inner knee of the skirt is too tight to stride at all. She finally understood why ancient women were all small steps. Even if they were not dignified, they could not be vulgar under such shackles.
Bingyi Yin was a little impatient to wait outside. At this moment, when he saw the woman coming out, she was stared, and then snorted coldly and led the way in front of him.
Out of the palace, but not out of Tandu, the carriage parked outside a villa in the western suburbs.
Bing Yiyin did not go in. After getting off the carriage, he was very polite and close to the red sandalwood and said, "It's not convenient for the emperor to accompany him. May Your Highness and His Majesty get along well with the emperor."
