Taoti, “???”
For a moment, she wondered if there was something wrong with her ear.
But the next moment, she knew that it wasn't that there was something wrong with her ear, but that the second princess had a disease in her head.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Pei Lingbi snorted coldly, "I didn't expect you to be such a fickle and beautiful woman. She said she admired my brother and wouldn't marry him. She had only married the prince for a day, so she forgot what you said before."
Tao Ti's mouth twitched, and she was about to ask "Who is your brother?" The next moment, a messy memory poured into her mind-
The brother that Pei Lingbi mentioned refers to the third prince Pei Changzhou who was with her mother.
A brief summary of the story of the original owner and Pei Changzhou getting to know each other is the story of a little girl who lacks love being pua by a scumbag.
Originally, the original owner accepted his fate and planned to marry to the East Palace peacefully, but Pei Changzhou has been brainwashing her with pua language and manipulating her mental state.
Pei Changzhou said to the original owner, "Actually, I like you too, but my father loves the prince. How can I compete with the prince for women? If you want to blame him, blame the prince. He broke us apart."
"Ati, if you marry him, you will no longer be the pure and flawless girl in my mind. If you love me, you must keep your chastity and purity for me!"
"Didn't you say you are willing to give everything for me? Then are you willing to die for me? If you can do this for me, I will believe in your will. Ati, go die."
The sentences "Go to die" kept echoing in my mind, and Tao Ti couldn't help but clench his fists.
What kind of bastard is Pei Changzhou?!
The original owner and the prince were engaged since childhood. Pei Changzhou should have known that he was his future sister-in-law and had to keep a distance. But not only did he not keep a distance, he also deliberately approached him. Pua's future sister-in-law, vilified the prince's image, and instigated the original owner to commit suicide before the wedding... It was a terrifying thought about it!
"Hey, I'm talking to you, have you heard?" Pei Lingbi shouted angrily.
Tao Ti came to her senses and looked at the second princess in front of her. She was not a good thing like her brother.
Pei Lingbi has always been jealous of the original owner's appearance, so she has long verbally bullied the original owner. Every time she sees the original owner's inferiority and frustration, she will gain a sense of mystery.
This brother and sister are really poisonous.
Tao Ti said indifferently, "I am the princess now and your nominal sister-in-law. You have learned all the etiquette and rules when you speak to me like this? If the second sister has a bad memory, I don't mind taking you to the Queen to tell me about it."
Pei Lingbi's expression froze and said unbelievably, "You, how dare you threaten me!"
In the past, no matter how she scolded or how fierce she was, Tao Ti could only bear it honestly. Now she dares to talk back?
Taoti sneered and said happily, "I threaten you? If I tell the queen what your brother and sister have done to me, oh no, the queen is your mother, it will inevitably be partial to the shelter. Then I will tell Your Majesty, what will you do if you think Your Majesty knows?"
Sure enough, when the emperor was mentioned, Pei Lingbi was obviously panicked, but he was still stubborn, "You dare! If you say it out, you will have no shame to see others! Besides, you are obviously a fool, so you are rushing to pester my brother..."
Taoti glanced at her coldly.
This glance was full of momentum, and Pei Lingbi's back spine felt chill.
Tao Ti thought that the emperor and prince were still waiting for her to go over, and no longer bothered her. She threw down her sleeves and left.
Looking at the pink back of the smoke that was leaving, Pei Lingbi's face turned blue and white.
It's really a hell, why did Tao Ti look like a different person? Didn't the poison poison her to death but instead made her smarter?
No, I have to discuss with the emperor's brother quickly, so I can't let this woman talk nonsense outside.
****
The Hall of Qinzheng is magnificent and grand.
As soon as Tao Ti arrived at the door, she saw the chubby eunuch standing on the side with the whisk in her arms. When she saw her coming, the eunuch smiled and said respectfully, "Prince Princess, please, Your Majesty and His Highness are talking inside."
This eunuch should be the chief supervisor in front of the emperor, right? Tao Ti's black eyes moved slightly and asked politely, "I don't know what my father-in-law calls me?"
The eunuch obviously didn't expect that she would talk to him on his own initiative. The smile on his face did not change, but his tone became more respectful, "Go back to the Crown Princess, Li Gui, the chief supervisor of the slave emperor."
"Mr. Li, please." Tao Ti nodded with a smile and guessed correctly.
The hall was very empty, and Tao Ti lowered her head and followed Li Gui steadily.
She was not very nervous when she saw the queen, but now she was about to see the emperor, so she became nervous inexplicably. Perhaps the hall was too quiet, which made people feel awe for no reason.
I heard that the prince was raised by the emperor himself. The prince is so gentle and gentle, so the emperor's personality should not be bad, right?
Not long after, Li Gui stopped, "Crown Princess, here."
Tao Ti came to her senses in a daze and raised her eyes a little. She saw the emperor and the prince sitting opposite each other on the long bed beside the window, with a leisurely posture as if they were ordinary father and son.
She didn't dare to look closely, but just lowered her head and walked forward respectfully, "My daughter-in-law Tao greets His Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with you."
Emperor Zhao Kang put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the little girl with her legs bent, and his voice was like a bell, "Get up."
Tao Ti said no, stood up straight, and subconsciously looked at Prince Pei Yan.
The clear sunlight leaked from the cliff window and sprinkled on his angular face, as if a layer of holy light was coated. He smiled at her gently, indicating that she could feel at ease.
At the warning of Emperor Zhaokang, Li Gui moved Zhang Yueya stool and asked Tao Ti to sit on it.
Tao Ti sat down properly, raised her eyes slightly, and just met Zhao Kangdi's sharp scrutiny gaze.
Emperor Zhaokang is 49 years old this year, with sharp eyebrows and long cheeks. Even though he is no longer young, he can still see his handsomeness when he was young from his correct facial features. He wore a golden crown and a gazelle robe, and sat casually. Although his eyebrows and eyes were stretched, he exuded a kind of pressure from a superior person around him, which made people dare not underestimate him.
Tao Ti withdrew her gaze at the right time, looking like a decent little wife.
Emperor Zhao Kang looked at the daughter-in-law quietly. In his opinion, the girl of the Tao family was not worthy of her prince in terms of identity or appearance, not to mention that she was so ungrateful that she dared to commit suicide by taking poison.
If Yan'er hadn't repeatedly pleaded with mercy, more than 200 people from the Yongwei Marquis' Mansion would have been on the way to exile.
Emperor Zhao Kang's expression was very quiet and he said in a deep voice, "Since you have married Yan'er, you will take good care of his diet and daily life in the future. Don't cause trouble again, otherwise..."
Before he could say anything harsh, Pei Yan called out lightly, with a few requests, "Father."
Emperor Zhaokang's cheeks moved, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, and his tone eased a little, "Anyway, do you know if you and Yan'er live a good life?"
Taoti's scalp was numb by his sharp eyes and said dryly, "Yes, my daughter-in-law will keep in mind the teachings of Your Majesty and will serve His Highness diligently."
Seeing that her attitude was quite obedient, Emperor Zhao Kang said softly, and turned to Li Gui and said, "Go and bring all the meeting gifts I have prepared."
Li Gui went there and soon came out with six small eunuchs, each of whom was holding a heavy tray in his hand.
Gold, silver and jade, jewelry, silk and satin are dazzling.
Taoti hurriedly stood up and thanked her, "Thank you, daughter-in-law, for the reward."
Then, Emperor Zhaokang kindly reminded the prince that he should pay attention to his health.
Tao Ti'an sat quietly next to her listening. She knew very well that the emperor was telling the prince in public, but in fact he was hitting herself. The subtext was: If you dare to make my baby son unhappy, you can stretch your neck and wait for death.
After half a cup of tea, Emperor Zhao Kang looked at Pei Yan, "Yan'er, take your wife to bring incense sticks to your mother. This marriage was made by your mother when she was alive. If she knew you were married, she would definitely be happy."
When talking about the Empress, Emperor Zhao Kang's tone became particularly gentle.
Pei Yan stood up and bowed to Emperor Zhaokang, "Father, I will take my leave first."
Tao Ti was also hurriedly following the salute, "The daughter-in-law also surrendered."
Emperor Zhao Kang waved his hand, "Go and go."
When the couple left, Emperor Zhao Kang stroked the warm wall of the cup, and his eyebrows were a little old-fashioned, "Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, Yan'er got married."
Li Gui followed Emperor Zhaokang at the age of eight. After more than 40 years of getting along, he could see at a glance that His Majesty missed the Queen.
After considering for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty is relieved. I think the prince and the princess get along well. And the Imperial Heavenly Prison said that the princess’s horoscope is good for their husbands. With her by the prince's side, the prince's health will definitely get better."
Emperor Zhao Kang snorted, "I hope so."
He didn't expect that little girl to be of great use. If Yan'er really lived to be twenty-three years old, he would let the woman be buried with her. It would be considered a place to die if she could be a companion with Yan'er on the road to the underworld.
——
Fengyi Palace is the fixed residence of queens of all dynasties.
After Empress Gu passed away, Emperor Zhaokang was deeply saddened and ordered the tablets to be enshrined in Fengyi Palace. Even if Zhou became the follower, he was not qualified to move into Fengyi Palace, but to live in Ganquan Palace.
Based on this alone, we can see which of the two queens is more important in Emperor Zhaokang's mind.
When the sedan chair stopped in front of Fengyi Palace, Tao Ti couldn't help but look up at the plaque with flying dragons and phoenixes hanging at the entrance of the palace.
Pei Yan stopped beside her and said softly, "This is written by the emperor's emperor."
Tao Ti was slightly stunned, Pei Yan said lightly, "Go in."
Fengyi Palace is very large and gorgeous. Even though the owner of this palace has been dead for sixteen years, the palace is clean and tidy and spotless. Even the flowers, plants and trees in front of the courtyard are lush and lush, as if the owner of the palace has never left.
Pei Yan explained, "The father will come here to live for two days every month, so the palace people dare not slacken. They will come to organize and clean up every day."
"It seems that Your Majesty loves the Queen very much." Tao Ti said. People have been away for so many years and can still remember them like this. Perhaps for Emperor Zhaokang, Empress Gu is the white moonlight in his heart.
Love? Pei Yan narrowed his black eyes slightly, not saying anything.
The palace servants from Fengyi Palace saw that they were coming and quickly saluted.
After a while, an old nanny in her fifties walked out of the hall. She was wearing a navy blue palace uniform. When she saw Pei Yan, she smiled. When she saw Tao Ti beside Pei Yan, she was a little surprised, and soon came to her senses and said with a smile, "Your Highness, is this the Crown Princess?"
Pei Yan nodded and smiled gently, "Madam Lan, my father asked Gu to bring her to bring incense to his mother."
Tao Ti speculated that this Nanny Lan should be the old man who served the Queen before, and she also corrected her attitude and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Madam Lan."
"The Crown Princess is so polite, it's really a tragic slave." Madam Lan looked at Tao Ti up and down, and smiled. "When the master and Mrs. Yongweihou decided on this marriage, you were only half a year old. At that time, the master hugged you... In the blink of an eye, sixteen years passed, but I didn't expect the Crown Princess to be so beautiful."
Speaking of this, Madam Lan sighed a little, "If the master is still there..."
Pei Yan's slender eyelashes drooped, and he called out softly, "Madam Lan,"
To be continued...
