"Princess, how can you sleep like this? You must keep your demeanor when sleeping."
I woke up in a daze and saw my mother standing on one side, looking at me with a grudge.
This is the seventh time I have been woken up by her tonight.
I sighed and reluctantly straightened my limbs: "Okay, okay, I understand."
My mother left reluctantly, but I looked at the tent gauze that was as thin as a cicada's wings on the couch and couldn't sleep.
I was originally a beggar.
Three days ago, the emperor gave alms of porridge, food and clothing in Guiyuan Temple. When I was fighting with other beggars, I accidentally fell on the emperor. The jade pendant I carried since childhood accidentally hit the emperor's face.
I thought it would be a dead end, but I didn’t expect that the emperor would pick me up into the palace immediately.
Although I long for wealth and honor, the emperor is old and disabled, so it is uncomfortable to be a concubine for him.
But unexpectedly, the emperor wanted me to be his daughter.
says I am the descendant of Taizu of Lao Shizi.
I became a princess for no reason, but I really feel that there are too many troubles in the palace.
In the past, I only had to worry about food, but now I have to maintain a princess demeanor even when I sleep.
How can I sleep well?

At the time, I stuck my head out of the window coffin. There was no one outside the hall, only the clear moon shadow.
I had a good kung fu, so I slipped into the yard and stepped onto the palace wall in just a few steps.
I went over the courtyard halls and finally stopped on the top of the eaves of a side hall. This side palace looks dilapidated, maybe it is a cold palace, but it is a good place to sleep peacefully.
I leaned against the glazed ridge beast on the eaves, raised my legs and squinted my eyes, and heard a "crackling" sound coming from the yard. Immediately afterwards, there were sounds of several palace maids running around.
I looked down and saw several palace maids in the back hall talking, "Why is our highness over the meal?"
"It's not because your Majesty has recovered the descendants of Taizu."
"But what's the use of your Highness being angry like this? If Your Majesty values him, how can you recover the descendants of Taizu?"
"That's right, our sick highness hasn't been long."
With these words, another sound of brokenness came from the front yard.
I turned to the front hall and saw a man slamming a meal in a celadon cup under the cypress in the courtyard.
All kinds of delicious dishes are everywhere, and I feel a pity.
The maids in the backyard started to talk again, the voice was not loud, but it was harsh enough.
The man immediately rushed to the chest and wanted to smash a bowl of hot Batange porridge.
I quickly jumped down from the eaves, and in a flash, I took the bowl of porridge: "Don't smash it. There are many people in the world, there is no food to eat. Why can you do this?"
The man heard the sound and turned to look at me.
His eyes were like cold stars, his chin was sharp, his hair was scattered, and he was wearing a white robe, like a snowman who could break into pieces with one touch. However, although he was thin, he could not hide his beautiful appearance and luxury.
When he saw me, his eyes darkened, as if he was trying hard to restrain his anger: "Okay, you Hu slaves are just talking about me secretly. Do you dare to be arrogant now?"
I don't understand where a person wasted food got angry. He gave him a blank look, then smelled the bowl of Eight Treasures porridge, couldn't help but smell it, and took a sip of the porridge.
was shocked. The porridge was not the expected taste.
The next moment, he tucked my neck: "Rareless! You Hu slave dares to ruin royal meals. Do you really don't know who I am?"
I was shocked and didn't hold any of them firmly. The bowl of porridge fell to the ground and splashed all over the ground.
What a pity!
I gasped: "I haven't drunk this yet. Anyway, you won't drink it.Why, I can't? ”
He hooked a waist card from his waist with his tender index finger, and lit it slowly in front of me, glanced at me sideways: "Now do you know who I am? Do you dare to take a second sip of this porridge?"
I looked at the waist card blankly and whispered, "This token is not good-looking."
His face suddenly turned red, as if the blood vessels in his body burst out with anger.
But what I said is true. The Golden Crow Token given to me by the emperor is much more exquisite than his wooden card.
He let go of my neck: "I am King Yi, don't kneel down yet!"
When I heard him, I opened my eyes wide: "You are, the fifth prince?"
He raised his chin, as if he was very satisfied with my reaction, raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Now do you know you are afraid?"
I hugged Tang Zhou's arm and raised my tone: "The emperor said, you are my brother. Hurry up, call me sister."
Tang Zhou's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he impatiently shook my hand: "Bold!"
I didn't stand firm and fell to the ground. The next moment, footsteps came from behind me.
It turned out that the two ladies were carrying a group of palace mermaids in a row and kneeling in front of me in one after another.
The two mothers quickly helped me up: "Your Highness, you make it easy for us to find! Why did you fall to the ground?"
Tang Zhou saw this, and his contemptuous expression became more and more obvious: "You may have admitted your mistake. How can this Hu Nu be called Your Highness? How can this Hu Nu be worthy of being searched by you?"
The two mothers then looked up at Tang Zhou and glanced at him: "See King Yi... I hope King Yi will be cautious in his words and actions. We Princess Yongning is naturally worthy of being called Your Highness."
The two mothers bit the words "Princess Yongning" very heavily, and there seemed to be smoke in the air that I could not see.
In a moment, Tang Zhou's face changed.
He looked at me, his eyes turned and his lips curled up, as if he was mocking himself: "So you are Princess Yongning... It turns out that in the heart of my father, I am not as good as you, a barbaric woman who can't speak clearly."
The two girls said coldly: "I hope King Yi will respect himself. Princess Yongning was previously wandering among the people, and almost no one talked to her, so she spoke only after a while."
Tang Zhou raised his sleeves and turned back to the hall angrily. The snow on the cypress was blown down by his movements.
Snow falls along with the moonlight and falls on the python pattern in his robe, adding a bit of loneliness to his back.
I asked my mother inexplicably, "My brother, why are you unhappy?"
My mother didn't respond to me, so she just held my hand and took me back to the princess's palace.
After entering the palace, the two ladies closed the doors and windows before whispering to me: "Your Highness, the princess, now the prince has not been appointed in the palace, and you are the only bloodline of Taizu of Tang. When you returned to the palace, a minister reported that Your Majesty should be in the Taizu lineage and made you the prince's daughter. Although Your Majesty has not agreed to be the crown prince, this crown prince will eventually be born among you and King Yi... In the past, King Yi was the most unpopular, and he must have a grudge and wanted to take the crown prince. The position of the king. So now, he will definitely regard you as a thorn in his eyes."
After hearing these words, looking at the sad eyes of both girls, I felt confused: "I, beggar, can I still be a beggar, the princess?"
Becoming a princess for nothing, it actually involves so many things. These things are like the imperial road in the palace, and are extremely troublesome.
"I don't understand, it's very troublesome," I supported my head with my hands: "What a mother, I want to drink, Bazhen Porridge."
My mother sighed helplessly: "It turns out that you went to find King Yi for this, and I will order my servants to do it for you. In short, the palace is cruel and bizarre, Princess, you are too simple, so you should not have to interact with King Yi who is scheming."
I nodded, and before I went to prepare the porridge, my mother handed me a copybook: "Princess, it's not good to not know big words, so learn to write if you can't sleep."
I smiled obediently and nodded.
After my mother left, I put away my smile, threw the copybook aside with cold eyes, took out the dense paper that would only appear after roasting it after it was roasted, and took the pen to write on the dense paper: "Uncle, King Yi is really cautious, the porridge is no longer poisonous."
I blew the dense paper, and the handwriting on it gradually disappeared. I tied the secret letter to the claws of the dove, opened the window, and carefully released the pigeon in the night: "Go back to where you should go."
Unexpectedly, the next day, my mother told me that she picked up a dead pigeon with white paper tied to the claws in the yard, probably because she was poisoned to death.
I was shocked and pretended to be ignorant on my face: "So cruel, I don't know what's going on."
Damn Yi Wang.

I didn’t leave the house for a few days and learned the female etiquette that my two mothers taught me in randomly.
A few days later, the emperor issued an order to ask me to study books in Shangshu Academy.
I stepped into Shangshu Academy and saw many wealthy faces, probably all the children of ministers who were accompanying them.
Although my mother asked me to avoid contact with Tang Zhou, I still walked straight to Tang Zhou sitting in the back row.
Tang Zhou immediately changed his seat after seeing me, and I quickly called him: "Tang Zhou! Brother!"
He looked up at me, his eyes full of disdain: "I thought you could only speak in three words, but I didn't expect that you could say two words now. You are really smart."
"Thank you, praise me," I smiled and pulled Tang Zhou back: "Your name, I have practiced it for many days."
Tang Zhou sat next to me impatiently: "Oh? What are you practicing this?"
"You are me, brother. Of course, I have to learn your name."
Tang Zhou snorted coldly: "The father is not here, who do you pretend to be in love with brotherly?"
"What are you pretending to be deep, I think you are..." I was just defending myself, and the Grand Tutor had already walked into the yard, so I had to shut up embarrassedly.
Taifu started his lecture, and Tang Zhou listened very seriously, but unfortunately I couldn't understand.
Fortunately, there were some jade buckle paper on the table, so I folded the jade buckle paper to pass the time.
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally stacked a little rabbit with paper, and Taifu finally talked about governing the country from the wind and snow and put it on the hall.
I handed the paper rabbit in front of Tang Zhou and smiled and said, "Brother, I always mess with you, you are not happy. So I'm sorry. I'll give this paper rabbit to you."
Tang Zhou was stunned, and then he threw his hand impatiently: "My Prince Yi's mansion has even rabbits made of jade beads. Do you want to humiliate me if you give it to me? "Have a paper rabbit?"
What are the things and what are these!
The two nun said that Tang Zhou was very good at writing, but I felt that his understanding ability was obviously problematic.
I quickly explained: "If you don't like it, forget it. If you don't want it, you're unhappy."
Tang Zhou turned around and left, the paper rabbit floated on the ground, and he stepped by, leaving a black mark.
I bent down helplessly, wanting to pick up the paper rabbit, but one hand picked it up first.
I looked up and saw a man in a blue shirt. He held the paper rabbit in his hand, lowered his head and bowed: "I'm going to see Princess Yongning."
I waved my hand in a panic: "Not much polite."
Cheng Yanhe looked up and was a face that made people feel like spring breeze. He whispered, "Wang Yi looked down on this paper rabbit, but I think this paper rabbit is quite exquisite. How about the princess giving me this paper rabbit?" Not far away, Tang Zhou's back froze.
"You have a good vision. But that one is dirty," I took out another paper rabbit that had been folded from my cuffs, and the ink traces in it were vaguely visible in the sunlight.
Cheng Yanhe and I exchanged glances: "This one is for you. If you like it, I will give it to you every day."
Cheng Yanhe took the new paper rabbit and smiled meaningfully: "That's thank you for your hard work, Your Highness Princess.”
It’s like this. Every day in Shangshu Academy, the Taifu chattered endlessly and Tang Zhou studied hard, but I secretly folded a lot of paper rabbits, paper foxes, and paper birds for Cheng Yan and.
Although I have not made any progress in studying books, Cheng Yanhe often talks to me, and my stuttering has improved a lot.
More than ten days later, a spring rain quietly arrived.
I looked out the window, and the fine raindrops as thin as silver hair fell one after another, gathered on the fresh green bamboo leaves into beads, and then slid down the elegant tail of the leaves, falling into the small puddle with a "click".
Accompanied by the spring rain, the Grand Tutor said seriously, "The arrival of spring rain indicates that the spring banquet is coming, everyone must be prepared for it."
I gave Cheng Yanhe the newly stacked paper umbrella and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yanhe, what is the spring banquet? What should I prepare?"
Cheng Yanhe said warmly, "The spring banquet is the annual emperor of the year" The family feast will be attended by royal relatives and nobles. The least thing at the banquet is to let us children write poems improvise."
"What?" I looked surprised: "I want... to write poems improvise?"
Cheng Yanhe nodded: "The princess naturally needs it."
I was dumbfounded, and Tang Zhou chuckled next to me.
When the Taifu was released, I hurriedly chased Tang Zhou: "Brother, brother!"
Tang Zhou did not stop and did not look at me.
"Brother, the spring banquet is on, can you help me?"
Tang Zhou finally turned around and raised his lips as if he was watching the fun: "Why don't you let Cheng Yanhe help you?"
I lowered my head: "After all, I'm half a princess. If I want him to help, I'm afraid those ministers will make fun of me. If I ask my mother to help, it will damage the royal face."
"You barbaric woman now understand what the royal face is," Tang Zhou smiled and raised his eyebrows: "But why don't you be innovative and stack paper rabbits on the spring banquet?"
I ignored Tang Zhou's sarcasm and grabbed his cuff and shook it: "Brother, your homework is most appreciated by the Grand Tutor, so teach me how to write poetry."
Tang Zhou raised his chin and I whispered: "Brother, I heard that you are not good at riding and shooting. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to ride and shoot on the hunting day like this? I can ride and shoot on the hunting day. We help each other. This time you help me. When it comes to hunting day, I will give you all my prey."
Tang Zhou's face turned from white to red, and then from red to white. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will help you this time, see you tomorrow."
The next morning, I just woke up, and Tang Zhou really came with a few poem books.
He threw the poem book in front of me casually: "These miscellaneous books are poems written by my disciples. Although these poems are not guilty or reputation, they are comparable to your level. If you recite a few words at the spring banquet, I believe my father will not blame you."
"Great! Thank you!" I jumped up from the couch, hugged Tang Zhou, and said, "The smell on you is so good, like the cold smell after the rain."
Tang Zhou was stunned, his ears were red, and his expression pushed me away unnaturally: "Why don't you recite the poem quickly."
I nodded quickly, took a poem book, and opened it happily.
But I looked at the words in the poem book and searched for a long time without knowing how to pronounce it.
I had to bury my head into the poem book, and the old man said, "The insects... are in the east, and the moon... are in the west."
"What are you thinking about?" Tang Zhou frowned and grabbed the poem book and sat beside me: "This is obviously a song in the east, and he is in the west."
"Oh, y..." I said tremblingly: "This is too difficult to remember."
Tang Zhou sighed helplessly, and seemed to accidentally pick up another poem book: "Then memorize this book, there are no uncommon words."
I took the poem book and glanced over a small symbol in the corner of the cover of the book.
That is the sign of banned books.
