On October 14th, the third prince Xue Ming had a quarrel with the emperor's nephew, King Xue Xu of Dingnan, over trivial matters.
On October 15th, Xue Ming led a young eunuch who was well versed in martial arts to break the left leg of King Dingnan Xue Xu, leaving King Dingnan disabled for life.
On October 16th, the Holy Emperor was furious and ordered Xue Ming to be sent to Gyeonggi Prefecture Prison to serve one year in prison.
On October 17th, the unworthy prince Xue Min disobeyed the holy will and left the palace.
Since then, the position of the prince seems to have been no longer controversial.
[The lady is coming]
In the blink of an eye, it’s autumn again, the autumn of Tiande’s thirteenth year.
On the day I received the order, I had been ill for more than a year.
Alas, for more than a year, I have been sleeping most of the time. In the past two months, the weather has become cooler, and I feel a little energetic. At this time, looking at the sparse tree shadows on the window lattice, I suddenly felt a "Chinese prescription for illness"
One day, a year has passed in this world.”
There is still no news about my fiancée, the third prince Xue Ming.
The drizzle continued, tapping the banana leaves, and the little girl Qingqing was quietly sewing at the table. In the dim light of the candlelight, her delicate eyebrows seemed to be gleaming with a hint of joy.
I smiled secretly and said jokingly: "Ah, Qingqing, look at the two branches on your purse that are so delicately embroidered. If you give it to your handsome little lover tomorrow, he will definitely be very happy!"
Hee, it’s boring on a rainy day, so it’s good to tease the little girl.
I smiled secretly: "Qingqing, your skills at embroidering purses are really excellent. When I have a lover, young lady, you have to help me embroider one..."
The girl Qingqing finally regained her eloquence: "Qingqing doesn't have a lover. Qingqing is not Yingying, but you, miss, should think about embroidering one for the third prince!"
Suddenly, I felt a chill all over my body, and a drop of cold sweat from my forehead snaked down my temples.
Qingqing fell to her knees with a bang, "Qingqing, Qingqing said the wrong thing..."
Alas, an imperial edict and a long-lost stranger not only made me sick for more than a year, but also made Qingqing tremble all day long. It was really powerful!
I pulled off the veil and wiped my face, "Qingqing, you're stuck on the ground like a wooden stake. It's really an eyesore. Get up quickly!"
Qingqing lowered her head and said timidly: "Qingqing doesn't dare..."
I had no choice but to say: "Get up, I have something to ask you."
Qingqing stood up hesitantly, "Miss?"
I straightened my slightly wrinkled clothes and said, "Just now you said 'Yingying', who is 'Yingying'?"
Qingqing said mysteriously: "Miss, how could you forget? Last year you loved reading a book called What's the Wing..."
Wing room?
"The West Chamber"!
Maybe I was sick and confused, how could I forget such a wonderful book?
I became more energetic and said, "Qingqing, hurry up and get that copy of "The Romance of the West Chamber"!"
Qingqing stamped her feet, "Miss, Qingqing doesn't dare! When the young lady fell ill, the prince ordered people to move all the playbooks in the young lady's room to the library, and also ordered that if anyone dared to read such a book to the young lady in the future,
, his legs will be broken and he will be kicked out of the house..."
When I'm bored in my boudoir, I even like to read some plays and unofficial histories to pass the time. These books tell nothing more than stories about talented men and beauties flirting with each other and making private plans for life.
My mother passed away early, my father had not remarried, and there was no older woman in the family who was interested in my love affairs. Therefore, when I read these books, my father and eldest brother always turned a blind eye.
This time, my eldest brother may have felt that I had been taught bad things by these playbooks. I was thinking about finding a mutually agreeable person all day long, and I was depressed, which made me ill for a long time. In a fit of anger, I took away my playbooks. Alas, in fact,
It's not all because of these books that I got sick...
I gathered my thoughts and ordered seriously: "Qingqing, go to the library quickly and get "The Romance of the West Chamber"!"
Qingqing lowered her head and said cowardly: "Miss, Qingqing doesn't dare, if the prince finds out..."
I took over what she said: "So what if big brother knows?"
Qingqing whispered back: "The prince will break Qingqing's legs..."
I took half a cup of herbal tea on the small table and took a sip carelessly, saying with a bad heart: "Qingqing, if you don't listen to me, aren't you afraid that I will order someone to break your legs and drive you out of the house?"
Qingqing was startled, looking like a dumb goose.
I laughed out loud: "Stupid girl! I'll just go with you. Big brother will definitely not blame you."
As soon as the door curtain was opened, the cool breeze rushed in, and the little girl Feng'er happened to come in with medicine.
Qingqing hurriedly said: "Miss, if you want to go, you have to drink medicine before you go!"
