After waiting for a whole day in anxiety, the person who came was unexpectedly Princess Kejing. She came right after dinner, still smiling."I'm here again! There was no need to bow. I'm here to ask if you've thought of what you're going to perform?”
" Princess," I replied calmly,""I've already thought about it. I plan to start rehearsing in two days.”
"Looks like I have good taste!" She sat down and picked up a piece of the dessert I had just made."Not only me, even Old Eighth and Old Ninth have taken a fancy to you and said that they want to invite you to perform for the Emperor's Ma's longevity. Fortunately, I beat them to it, otherwise, the first prize would have been snatched by them, haha!”
Old Eighth and Old Ninth also want me to perform in the palace? I frowned, things were getting more and more complicated! It seems that I was wrong to stay back then. What was even more wrong was to open Rouge Restaurant and even perform. The ancients were indeed not easy to fool! Yin? Ah Yin? You're really harmful! I really don't know what's wrong with me. After you hurt me like that, I still can't get rid of you. It seems that I'm really a bit of a spatter!
"…The Zither!" Princess Kejing's face suddenly came in front of me and gave me a fright. I came back to my senses and looked at her. She smiled faintly."What are you thinking about? I called you a few times, but you didn't hear me!"
"I'm fine." I took a step back." Princess, please forgive me. I was distracted just now and didn't hear what you said."”
"I mean, Fourth Brother's Fujin was really unlucky. He just said to be careful and the baby fell.”
"Is that so? That's a pity." I answered absent-mindedly.
"Do you know how she lost her baby?”She had a mysterious look on her face.
"How would I know?" I looked at her warily.
She took a sip of tea casually." That's true. She doesn't even know herself. How would you know?"”She looked at me slyly.”
"Princess, you don't have to worry." I didn't understand her more and more, so I could only reluctantly reply,"I'm not interested. Princess, are you eating here?"
"I've eaten." She pointed at the desserts on the table." These desserts are delicious. Help me bring some back."”
"Yes." I motioned for Siyue to get it. Princess Kejing smiled at me. He had been quite busy recently with the matter of the emperor's longevity. Fourth Brother was so busy that he didn't even have the time to go back and see the Fujin. Thirteen's leg is acting up again. He's lying on the bed. I need to go see him.”
I don't know why she especially mentioned Yin. And Yinxiang, I just heard that Yinxiang was bedridden, I was also anxious, but it was inconvenient to speak. Just as she was sweating anxiously, Princess Kejing suddenly said,"I see that you're fine too. Why don't you accompany me to see Thirteen?”
"Alright!" I blurted out and couldn't help but regret it. Just as she was feeling awkward, Si Yue came over with some snacks. Princess Kejing took it with one hand and pulled me out with the other. I had no choice but to follow her.
When we arrived at the entrance of Yinxiang Mansion, I was reluctant to get out of the car. Princess Ke Jing smiled and said,"Forget it! She wasn't even a bride, what was there to be embarrassed about!”"Thirteen's illness is indeed very serious. Today, the emperor sent a doctor to see him. It's hard to say when we go back." I already came by this morning. He said that he had no taste in his mouth after taking the medicine. I thought that he would definitely like the snacks you made, so I went to Rouge Restaurant to get them. You must want to meet him too, right?"
" I..." I heard that Yinxiang was seriously ill. I was uneasy and let her drag me in.
Yinxiang's Baylor Mansion isn't big, just a little bigger than my Wangchen Residence. Princess Kejing probably came here often, so she walked straight in as if there was no one around. The servants were very respectful to her, and only a few people were curious about the masked me and secretly stole glances at me. After entering the inner room, she finally knew how to knock on the door. A female voice replied,"Come in!" I followed him in and saw a large bedroom with a large bed on the south side. There was a curtain in front of the bed to hide it from view. There is a woman in front of the bed who is opening the curtain and sticking her head out. I know that woman. She is Yinxiang's wife, Jiazhao. Her eyes were red as she walked out and bowed to Princess Kejing. She was a little surprised when she saw me behind her. I didn't say anything, and she didn't ask much. She only said to Princess Kejing,"Princess, what a coincidence. Thirteenth Master has just woken up.”
As he spoke, Yinxiang's voice sounded from inside."Who is it?"
"It's me!" "Didn't you say you had no appetite?" Princess Kejing said happily. I went to find your favorite snacks and brought the chef who made them!”
"What did you say?" Yinxiang shouted angrily,"She…really came?"”
"When has Sixth Sister ever lied to you?" She handed me the snacks and pushed me inside."Why aren't you bringing it in for the Thirteenth Prince?”While I was still hesitating, she pulled on Jia Zhaoshi and said,"Look at what you've become. She didn't wash her hair or comb her face. How ugly!”
"Is that so?" Jia Zhaoshi was shocked and hurriedly walked past Princess Kejing. I looked awkwardly at Princess Kejing who was leaning against the door. She winked at me."Go! I'll help you get rid of the Fujin. If you have anything to say, go in and talk slowly.”
I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It seemed that she really regarded me as Yinxiang's confidante! Seeing her walk out and close the door, I gritted my teeth and walked towards the bed. When I reached the bed, I took a deep breath, took off my veil, and lifted the curtains. I saw Yinxiang half lying on the bed, a pair of black eyes as deep as the sea, looking at me. I was at a loss. In the end, I stuffed the snacks in my hand into his hand."You eat!"
He laughed silently. He opened the pastries and took one to eat slowly, still staring at me. I couldn't hold it in any longer under his gaze. Finally, I couldn't help but say,"What are you looking at? What's there to see?"
"Are you still angry?" "It was my fault that day. I shouldn't have said that to you," he said gently. Didn't you do anything wrong? You misled me like that!"
"You didn't believe me first!" I couldn't hold back my tears." I treated you as my confidant and thought that you understood me. I didn't expect you to doubt me too!”
"It's my fault." He pulled me to sit on the edge of the bed and handed me a handkerchief. I wiped my tears randomly."Actually, I didn't want you to be stuck between your fourth brother and me. I deliberately angered you so that you would treat your fourth brother wholeheartedly from now on.”
"You're so silly! Ling is such a smart person. How could he not know that you were lying?”
"Did he believe it?" I looked at him in confusion.
He sighed and said,"That's why I said that Fourth Brother really has feelings for you." In the past, no matter what he encountered, he could always think calmly, except for you. Back then, when you faked your death, I found it unbelievable, but he believed it. He believed you when you said we liked each other. He believed you about the Fujin, but the imperial physician diagnosed that the Fujin was weak and miscarried. I then realized that I had wrongly blamed you. That day, we talked for a long time. Fourth Brother finally understood and knew that you actually still care about him…"
"Nonsense!" I was furious." I already said that it has nothing to do with him. What right do you have to say that I still like him?"”
"You're like a little lioness now, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws.”He chuckled,"Unfortunately, I'm not afraid of you." Didn't you say that I'm your confidant? Actually, you've forgiven Fourth Brother since I told you about his difficulties that day, right? It's just that you still resent him for not explaining things to you clearly and accidentally injuring your child, so you're so cold to him..."
"You are wrong." "There are some things that you won't understand even if I tell you." It doesn't matter whether I resent him or not. It's impossible between us.”
"Why not?" He asked in confusion.
Because I didn't exist in Yongzheng's harem in history! Moreover, the Nian family was doted on for more than ten years until their death. Could it be that I told you that? Thinking of this, I said helplessly,"It's impossible anyway." Oh right, I saw Nian Gengyao yesterday.”
"Him? How do you know him?" Yinxiang was shocked. I told him what happened the day before yesterday and yesterday. His expression changed drastically."Things are not good!"
"How is it bad?" I became nervous too.
"He's not that kind of reckless person. There must be a reason for him to lift your veil! Perhaps there was even a problem with a chance encounter in the suburbs!”
"What do you mean?" I anxiously grabbed his sleeve.
"I suspect that he knows your identity.”" You asked him to ask Fourth Brother yesterday, intentionally or unintentionally. Maybe it's what he wants, and it made him even more certain that you're Sonya!" Fortunately, Ling was very busy these two days and probably did not have time to see him.”
"Then what should we do?" I couldn't help but feel vexed that my cleverness had been mistaken. He was silent for a long time before he said," Nian Liang is still loyal to Fourth Brother. However, this matter concerns his sister. For the sake of his and his sister's future, he might do anything. We have to get rid of this matter before he does."”
"How?" I bit my lower lip. He sat up and said,"I haven't thought about it yet." We have a plan in our hearts, so we won't be caught off guard. Now, he was worried about how Ling would deal with him.”
"Why don't we delay it for now?" "Don't see him for now. We'll talk about it after a while."”
"That's the only way." He comforted me,"I'll ask someone to send a message to Fourth Brother. Don't worry." If there's a chance, I'll send you out."
"I'm afraid that won't do." "I promised your sixth imperial sister to enter the palace to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. I can't leave anytime soon…" I smiled bitterly.
"You really agreed?" His eyes suddenly widened. I rebuked,"Why so loud? You scared me!"
"Aren't you afraid that the emperor will…"
"Why not?" I smiled." Now we'll see how much he loves my aunt." If he remembers our old friendship, he might spare my life.”
"What old relationship?" He looked at me suspiciously. I made a long story short." I have an aunt who used to be the emperor's benefactor.”
"Is that so?" "Who is it?" he asked curiously. Do I know him?"
"You haven't seen her," I said lightly."She died more than thirty years ago."”
"Ah!" "Is it Noble Qin?" he exclaimed.”
"You know about it?" I was shocked.
"Your aunt's surname is Qin. There's only one noble person with the surname Qin.”He looked at me and said,"Now I know why the Emperor is so obsessed with your aunt."”
"Why?" I asked foolishly.
"Because your aunt must be as beautiful and nice as you!”
"Nonsense!" I blushed.
He whispered,"After your aunt passed away, the Emperor took in Concubine Wei, the mother of Eighth Brother." The emperor's mother was not good to her, saying that the eighth brother was born of a woman. Later, there were rumors in the palace that Consort Liang was favored by the Emperor because she looked like Noble Qin. Unfortunately, he was never pleased by the emperor.”
"Is that Consort Liang really like my aunt?”I'm very curious. I really want to see her!
"Consort Liang died last year." "Eighth Brother hasn't eaten for three days and three nights because of this," he said lightly.”
"It's a pity that I can't see her anymore." I sighed." It must be very uncomfortable to be treated as another woman's shadow, right? It's really hard for her to live in someone else's shadow all these years…"
"Thirteen, are you there?" A calm male voice interrupted me from outside the door. My heart beat wildly. Was it Yin?
