The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 508: The Princess Who Was Widowed Early (1)
In March in Yangzhou, the spring scenery was charming. But what attracted everyone's attention on the street was not the beautiful scenery, but the beauty standing under the willow tree
with an umbrella. The beauty was wearing a scarlet dress, her back was as slender as a willow, her skirt dragged on the ground and covered the green grass, her long black hair like a waterfall was gently tied up with a wooden hairpin, and only two thin strands hung down by her ears, fresh and elegant.
Yangzhou has always been a place of beauties, but this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful and refined beauty on the street.
At this time, Shi Yi, who was standing under the tree, did not know that she was being watched. She was still thinking about her current situation.
Her current identity was the princess whose husband died just after her wedding. She came to Yangzhou to relax because she was in a bad mood. But it was because of her action that she later attracted the disaster of her death.
The emperor was weak and sick, and the princes from all directions were ready to make a move. In order to enter the capital as soon as possible, the ambitious Mingji Hou had a beautiful man plot against her. Without knowing the inside story, she took Mingji Hou's people back to Donghua City, and inadvertently helped Mingji Hou usurp the throne. Mingji Hou was short-lived. Less than two months after taking the throne, he was exhausted by beauty. The Minister of War Wang Zhi joined forces with the previous emperor's people to regain the throne and welcomed her fifth brother to the throne. And she, naturally, was not tolerated by these old ministers and became the first whetstone for the fifth brother to ascend the throne.
She had just lost her husband and came to Yangzhou to relax for the second day. It seemed not good to return to Kyoto now, after all, her dead husband and she had been in love since their youth. She fell into Mingji Hou's beauty trap later because the boy looked almost exactly like her dead husband.
"May I ask if you are enjoying the scenery?" While she was still thinking, a young man as gentle as jade stopped in front of her.
Shi Yi's scattered eyes focused on his face. If she hadn't really confirmed that her dead husband died in front of her, she might have doubted whether the boy standing in front of her was her husband. However, the young man standing in front of her was much younger than her late husband.
She was now a 20-year-old young woman, and her late husband was five years older than her, but the young man in front of her looked only 17 or 18 years old, but he was more than a head taller than her.
Seeing her stunned expression, Lan Yu felt relieved.
Because of a meal, he asked to be a spy beside the princess to facilitate the transmission of information. Although he learned a lot of skills to please women, he had never really come into contact with women, especially a beauty like the princess.
"Who are you?" Shi Yi raised his hand and covered his eyes with a round fan, hiding the sadness in his eyes. Since it was not her late husband, there was no need to look at him anymore.
The man told him that the princess was just arrogant, but actually stupid and without temperament, but the look she gave him just now was faintly sharp, as if she had seen through his purpose and plan. Lan Yu was a little flustered, with a thin layer of sweat on his palms, but his face was not showing it.
He bowed calmly and apologized, saying, "I did such an inappropriate thing because I admire you. If I have annoyed you, I will leave now." He waited for her to keep him. However, he miscalculated.
"It's good to know that you are rude." The princess glared at him in front of him and left, shaking her round fan.
It can only be called a beauty trap if she is willing to fall for it. Reputation is worthless compared to life. She made up her mind to leave here tomorrow and return to Kyoto to curry favor with her.
Lan Yu was dumbfounded. The image of the princess that person told him was completely different from this. That person said that the princess was the most polite and chaste, so she did things in a rigid and stiff manner. Well... it seemed that the princess would treat herself like this in line with her original image.
"Girl...wait...wait..." He came to his senses and hurriedly chased after her. He didn't expect that she had walked so far in such a short time. In order to catch up quickly, he didn't even have time to fix his hair crown. He didn't look like a gentleman at all, but more like a lecher chasing a beauty.
Hearing that he was running out of breath, Shi Yi deliberately stopped and shouted to him, "No need to chase."
In public, Lan Yu was afraid that if he ran into her, he would really give himself a false reputation as a lecher. He hurriedly stopped, but he didn't expect that there was a fish slaughter shop next to him. He slipped on the fish scales and fell directly on the street, causing everyone to laugh.
"Girl...Girl...Don't misunderstand. I really don't have bad intentions...I just admire you..." He stood up with his waist, wanting to explain himself, but he didn't expect that the back of his long gown was stained with blood. From a distance, it looked like a woman's menstruation. The young girls on the street, the women with their hair tied up, and the old ladies with gray hair all covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
"Your clothes are dirty, go back and clean them up." Although Shi Yi didn't laugh out loud, he still felt a little comfortable seeing him in such an embarrassing state.
This Lan Yu really hurt the original owner in his previous life. It's only right for him to make a fool of himself now.
"Girl...Girl..." Lan Yu wanted to keep her for a while, but the laughter coming from the roadside and the looks from men, women, young and old made him feel embarrassed to stand here. He almost ran away from here.
After everyone dispersed, the attic that had been closed for a long time was opened. Two handsome men looked at the alley where Shi Yi disappeared at the same time, their eyes full of meaning.
"I think this eldest princess is not as stupid as the rumors say."
"Brother Weicheng, you'd better not overestimate my royal sister." The fifth prince shook the folding fan in his hand and closed the attic window himself.
"I think you underestimated the princess." Song Weicheng walked to the chess game that had not yet been finished, holding the black chess piece in his hand, and was stopped by the fifth prince.
"Brother Weicheng may have been fascinated by the beauty of my sister, and even took the wrong chess piece." The fifth prince's words were thorny. Although he always protected himself, he claimed that he had a very accurate eye for people, and it was inevitable that he would be unhappy when he was refuted.
"You can set off to return to Kyoto." Song Weicheng smiled suddenly, and the black chess piece fell into the chessboard, and it immediately became a killing game.
The fifth prince was stunned. The situation that was difficult to determine the outcome just now was actually determined by a chess piece. Song Weicheng can win with black chess, and he may not be unable to win with white chess. He is now on his side to support him, but if he doesn't listen, will he choose someone else? The more he thought about it, the more cold sweat he got, and his back was actually a little cold.
After a moment, he whispered, "Okay."
When I looked up again, I found that the man had gone downstairs without knowing when.
