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 510 The Princess Who Was Widowed Early (3)
"The mangy dog, here he comes again, the mangy dog, here he comes again." The children sang and danced, and those who didn't know the situation thought they were playing with a puppy.
"The mangy dog is so ugly, let's give him a good beating." The little girl rubbed her chin like a little bully, ready to come up with some new tricks to deal with this sloppy and annoying guy.
Got it, her eyes lit up, and she began to command, "You guys hit his eyes, you guys kick his legs."
Gu Changfeng looked up at her, then lowered his head resignedly. To these children of the same age, the more he resisted, the more excited they became. He was like dead water, and they would leave soon after beating him.
Several children followed the arrangement and beat him up. The little girl who led the group picked up stones from the roadside and threw them at his festering wounds, cursing as she did so: "You scabby dog, you're so annoying. I feel bad when I see you."
Gu Changfeng thought that he would be numb to the pain after being beaten so many times, but the pain from every part of his body was very clear. It was not until the pain became unbearable that he hugged his head and avoided the most festering part of his body.
Fortunately, these children wanted to play more today, so they chased him away after beating him for half a quarter of an hour.
He looked up and saw that the woman dressed in palace clothes had not left yet, looking at him with an expression he couldn't describe. He pulled the corner of his mouth in self-mockery and dragged his heavy body to another path. It
was also his bad luck today. He thought that no one would walk in the Imperial Garden during dinner time, so he chose this shortcut to the abandoned palace.
Shi Yi stood there, watching him walk into the depths of the flowers step by step, but his memory was full of people and things.
Gu Ni, the daughter of the Lord of Donghua City, was once famous for her beauty. Later, because the Lord of Donghua City was shameless and offended Emperor Rui, Emperor Rui personally conquered Donghua City, destroyed all the people in Donghua City, and brought her back alone.
It's a pity that Gu Ni died less than a year after entering the palace, leaving behind a weak little prince. According to the seniority, he should be the seventh prince. But Emperor Rui's attitude towards this prince is hard to understand. He almost doesn't care about the seventh prince, and there is no official jade disc to recognize the identity of this prince. The seventh prince seems to have become a superfluous person in the palace.
Also because of Emperor Rui's attitude, most people in the palace believe that the seventh prince is not the real heir of Emperor Rui. So in the original owner's memory, the seventh prince didn't make any splash at all. Shi
Yi walked towards the Queen Mother's bedroom with a heavy heart, but was told by the palace that the Queen Mother had taken medicine and went to bed, so she had to come to pay her respects tomorrow.
Walking on the road out of the palace, she met Song Weicheng who was about to leave the palace.
Song Weicheng is a man of superior ability, skill and character. What is precious is that he is gentle and not arrogant, and treats ordinary people equally. He is also one of the capable people who finally put things right and assisted the fifth prince to ascend the throne.
"Meet the princess." Song Weicheng
bowed. "It's rare to meet you in the palace." Shi Yi greeted her politely.
Song Weicheng stood up and looked her in the eyes. He did not hide his purpose at all and said bluntly: "This meeting between me and the princess is not an accidental encounter, but I calculated the time for you to leave the palace and waited here deliberately."
"Oh~" Shi Yi stretched out his voice. Since he could wait, there must be something else. Sure enough, Song Weicheng handed her something and said politely: "I have a humble request, I hope the princess can lend a hand."
"Why are you so sure that I will help you?" Shi Yi did not take his thing, but looked at him leisurely for a moment, "I have never had any relationship with Lord Song."
"I believe that the princess will not ignore it after opening it." Song Weicheng handed the brocade bag to her again.
"It seems that Lord Song is really sure that I will lend a helping hand." Shi Yi sighed lightly, and his eyes wandered around the brocade bag, and his eyes suddenly became alert, "Is it embroidered with willow branches?"
"The eldest princess is really discerning." Song held her wrist without breaking the rules, opened her palm, placed the brocade bag in her palm, and then clenched it, with a bright and clear look in his eyes, "I believe I will not disappoint the eldest princess. This is just a small initial reward. And what you need to do is very simple, just go around the harem more often."
The moment his skin touched hers, he strangely thought of agar.
Shi Yi said "Puh" in his heart.
It is well known in Kyoto that the prince consort loves willow branches. Needless to say, everyone guessed that the brocade bag contained the prince consort's relics. After all, she has established the image of a deeply affectionate princess, so she should be more passionate about her late husband's relics and hobbies. So she was silent for a while and whispered, "Okay."
Song Weicheng was confident that she would agree to this, but she was surprised that he agreed so readily. It seemed that he had to break the stereotype that the princess was rigid in her work.
"Now that the matter has been settled, I will see the princess off." He took a half step back and waited for Shi Yi to leave first, completely unaware of his previous transgression.
Shi Yi thought of his previous transgression and wanted to return the favor, so he deliberately asked, "Could it be that Lord Song despises my status as a new widow and refuses to accompany me?"
If Song Weicheng refused, then he would be disrespectful and committing a crime.
If Song Weicheng agreed, then his innocent image would be tarnished by this when he left the palace today.
But who would have thought that Song Weicheng shook his sleeves calmly, walked to the other side and stood side by side with her, but his steps were actually a little behind her.
"Princess, please go first."
Shi Yi didn't expect that his mind would turn so quickly, and walked forward angrily. Therefore, she missed Song Weicheng's scrutiny of her.
Seeing that she did not put the brocade bag into her sleeve but held it directly in her palm, Song Weicheng's eyes flickered and changed, and finally he chuckled but did not say anything.
This princess seemed to be more interesting than what he felt in Yangzhou.
This palace road was not very short, but because Song Weicheng was behind him, Shi Yi actually walked to the exit in a short while. The carriage of the princess's mansion had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time. She didn't want to fight with Song Weicheng and got into the carriage directly.
She only felt that she seemed to have been calculated by him now. The resourceful Song Weicheng couldn't solve the problem, so what could she, a princess, do to help! In the end, she might have to get herself involved!
"Farewell, princess." Song Weicheng saluted and watched the carriage go away. I think she should have felt that he had calculated it, so she was suddenly so angry.
He was supposed to go back home, but for the first time he did not take a carriage and chose to walk.
