Chapter 423 Qin Palace
She seemed to have always been like this, never hiding her ambitions.
The world praises being indifferent to fame and fortune, and requires women not to fight or compete for them.
She was born with a natural desire for power and also likes ambitious people.
"Rather than living a carefree but ignorant life, I would rather suffer the pain that comes with imperial power."
"I just want power, influence, and the throne."
It was natural to say that. Her undisguised ambition gave her a radiant brilliance and deeply attracted his attention.
From the first sight, he knew that they were the same person.
No matter how hard it is, we must climb higher.
As he thought about it, his focus shifted a little.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "Your Highness, do you consider me as one of your own?"
Bei Jingchu:?
"......"
He was very slow to react.
There is a feeling of helplessness, as if I have to explain a topic a hundred times before students can grasp the knowledge point.
Because of the order of seniority, Bei Jingyu's throne and Bei Yanyu's title of princess were decided at the same time.
Bei Yanyu was named Princess Xiangrou.
This title made Bei Jingchu want to laugh. She wondered if the emperor hoped that the title could moderate Bei Yanyu's temperament when he chose her.
Look at her ugly face. She can't be any softer.
But Bei Yanyu had no self-awareness at all. She thought she was very gentle and the title suited her very well.
The prince's palace and the princess's palace were planned when the capital was moved, and they can move out once they are built.
Every time Bei Yanyu met Bei Jingchu, she would talk about her fantasy of life outside the palace.
The carefree children chattered: "When the time comes, I will imitate the Hanliang Palace and build a big pavilion to escape the summer heat."
Bei Yanyu stretched out her arms and gestured, as if she felt her hands were not long enough and couldn't figure out how big the "big" she was talking about was.
"I reserved several guest rooms in the mansion and invited my little sisters to come and play with me."
Bei Jingchu tapped her head with a fan and reminded her: "Then you won't be able to see your elder sister often~"
It is still very troublesome to go into the palace.
This question was not a problem at all for this clever little girl. Bei Yanyu raised her head as if she was impressed by her own intelligence.
She explained her solution: "So before I leave the palace, I often come to see my elder sister."
"I often go to see my grandmother, my mother, and my father."
"I'm sorry to find you bothering me. I hope we can see each other less often in the future~"
Bei Jingchu: ...Thank you. I'm already starting to get annoyed.
She was still planning: "There's no need to look for brothers and sisters, they will set up their own families sooner or later anyway."
"The residences of the royal heirs are all in the same neighborhood, so we can visit them often."
Bei Jingchu waved her fan and warned the child of his naive idea: "If everyone has opened their homes, then visiting each other at that time will just be a greeting."
“It’s different from the way we play now.”
"You should go and play with them more often now."
Bei Yanyu didn't understand: "Why is it different?"
"Aren't we all playing together?"
The two sisters, one is scheming and the other naive, have such a big age difference that you can't even tell they are only seven months apart.
It was at moments like this that Bei Jingchu felt a little envious of her.
She asked the innocent little princess, "Have you ever seen Aye playing with the aunts?"
Bei Yanyu opened her mouth blankly, "No, no..."
"I thought Aye didn't like playing with others."
After all, Aye was the emperor. In her memory, he was a man who buried his head in his desk all day, dealing with a bunch of things that gave her a headache just by hearing about them.
The most common activity was to practice archery in the Forbidden Garden, also for the purpose of strengthening the body.
Why does Aye like to play?
Bei Jingchu sighed: "Before Aye became Aye, he was also someone else's younger brother or elder brother."
Bei Yanyu then realized that Aye was not Aye from birth, he was also a child.
Maybe she was like a mistress or a sixth grader before?
Or maybe like my eldest sister?
Bei Yanyu suddenly became melancholy. The child already had troubles. She held her cheek and said worriedly, "So, what the eldest sister means is that when we grow up and have our own houses, brothers and sisters will no longer play together?"
Bei Jingchu smiled and said, "Not necessarily."
"If you keep being a little idiot, people will still come to play with you."
"oh......"
Bei Yanyu realized something was wrong: "Huh???"
But the poor child did not dare to protest and could only accept his elder sister's evaluation.
She didn't worry for too long, and said positively: "Anyway, I don't know if I will become unfamiliar with you in the future, so I should cherish the present."
She held out her hand, and the palace maid helped her up. The little princess waved goodbye and said, "Eldest sister, I'm going to look for Xiao San and the others!"
Bei Jingchu: "... Can't I really call you the Third Brother?"
As a result, Bei Yanyu's good mood did not last for a few days, and she came to Bei Jingchu to complain with an angry face.
"On what basis?"
"I was born before him, and I am his elder sister. I should be the first one to live in the renovated mansion. Why should Father give it to him first?"
Bei Jingchu had already received the news that a mansion had been built after the Ministry of Works worked day and night to repair it. The emperor gave it to the third son as a prince's palace and it would be open soon.
