After entering June, the weather is really getting hotter day by day. After a rain, the temperature rises sharply. On days when the sun shines brightly, it can make people's heads burn.
There is a basin of ice cubes placed in Yun Zishu's bedroom.
Her princess palace did not have such conditions, so Sicang managed to get the ice cubes from the palace.
The weather in June is indeed hot, but Yun Zishu is a martial arts practitioner after all, and her tolerance to cold and heat is better than that of ordinary people. There are ice cubes in the hall to cool down, and she sits in front of the window drinking herbal tea, eating iced fruits, and occasionally reading a book
, playing chess with Sicang, or planning the next plan.
The days passed really leisurely.
However, in such leisurely days, uninvited guests still occasionally visit.
Yunchi, the seventh prince of the current dynasty, was named King Li, the son of Su Zhaoyi, and the cousin of Su Muchen.
His mother's low status meant that this prince was destined to miss the throne, and he was even shorter than the other princes. Fortunately, Yunchi was a low-key person who did not cause trouble. He did not fight for anything on weekdays, and he was appointed to the Ministry of War.
He was in a casual position and did not hold any great power. The old men in the military department did not make things difficult for him, so he lived a comfortable life.
Yun Zishu recalled that when she died in her previous life, the prince had not yet ascended the throne, but the seventh emperor brother actually died earlier than her because he was implicated by Su Muchen. He wanted to keep a low profile and protect himself, but he failed to die a good death.
She couldn't help but think, don't keep a low profile in this life, you may be hit by a disaster from heaven at some point.
The weather was very hot, so when Yunchi came, he was brought some fresh fruits, which was barely considered a meeting gift. Yunzishu was taken to the garden, which had a beautiful scenery and was suitable for enjoying flowers and chatting.
Yun Zishu changed her clothes and walked out of Qifeng Hall.
"What do you think of King Li, Your Highness?" Sicang's voice sounded in his ears, with a calm and calm determination, "He is currently serving in the Ministry of War. If His Highness wants to use him for his own purposes..."
"I have no idea about him." Yun Zishu walked slowly on the corridor and shook her head casually, "He is a prince and his status is sensitive. Even if he has no qualifications or ideas to compete for the throne, once he develops a desire for power,
, it will still attract suspicion."
After turning slightly beforehand, the sun outside the corridor was very bright and the light was too dazzling. Fortunately, there were vines that blocked some of the scorching sunlight.
Yun Zishu raised her hand to block it and said in a calm voice: "Besides, Su Muchen is now in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. When he truly holds the real power of the Ministry of Personnel in the future, he will definitely be one of the most powerful humerus ministers in the court. He is a young upstart promoted by the prince.
Others will only think that he belongs to the prince, but once Yunchi also has power, the nature will be different."
Sicang's eyes fell on her fair profile, and his eyes dropped as soon as they touched her, "Your Highness analyzed it very thoroughly."
Yun Zishu smiled: "Actually, I'm not necessarily that smart, but now that I can't help myself, I inevitably have to think more."
Analyze the situation, plan and make plans, step by step, think about what you should think about, and think carefully about what you shouldn't think about, otherwise your life will be at risk at any time.
Sicang said: "Your Highness's wisdom is beyond the reach of ordinary women." Even many men cannot compare with it.
Yun Zishu glanced at him, a smile flashed across her lips, and without saying anything else, she walked along the corridor to the garden. From a distance, she saw Su Chi standing at the end of the corridor, looking towards the lake, as if admiring the koi carp.
play.
Hearing the footsteps, Yunchi turned his head: "Jiu Mei."
"Brother Seventh Emperor, why are you free to come here today?"
Yunchi smiled and said: "I am a free man, I am free any day."
Yun Zishu also smiled, walked to the stone table in the flower hall, sat down, and asked the maid to serve tea, "Brother Seven Emperors, please have a seat."
"Jiu Mei has been so majestic these days." Yunchi sat down, his gaze fell on Yun Zishu's face, with a hint of probing in his eyes, "Jiu Mei seems to have suddenly changed, unlike you in the past.
The behavior seems very different."
Yun Zishu picked up the tea cup and said calmly: "People change, it's not surprising."
"There must be a reason."
"Reason?" Yun Zishu smiled lightly, "Does being bullied count? Does facing death threats count? When people are in danger, if they don't seek change, they can only wait for death. So I believe that most people
Everyone will have the courage to make a desperate attempt to survive in danger."
Since not fighting means death, why not fight to the end?
Yunchi frowned: "I don't understand."
"Of course you won't understand."
"What Jiumei means is that the Xiao family bullied you and wanted to kill you?"
"It doesn't matter what I mean. You probably won't believe it if I say it." Yun Zishu said calmly, "In other words, even if you believe it, it won't change anything. In this case, why do you ask so many questions?"
Hearing this, Yunchi was silent for a long time: "Jiu Mei's temper has also improved a lot."
"really."
"I don't even understand it yet, how do you know that I can't change anything even if I believe it?" Yunchi was puzzled, "Jiu Mei doesn't believe that us brothers will help you stand up?"
Yun Zishu's tone was cold: "I really don't believe it."
After all, she was not able to see a so-called relative until her death in her previous life, but it was meaningless to talk about it now, and Yun Zishu didn't want to argue with him too much.
Yunchi frowned.
Okay, Jiumei must have been wronged, otherwise she wouldn't be so full of thorns. Besides, he didn't come here today to find out what happened before.
He came here for his cousin from the Su family.
"There are rumors outside that Ninth Sister has fallen in love with Su Muchen, the newly promoted Minister of Civil Affairs." Yunchi looked at her seriously, "Is this true or false?"
"So what if it's true?" Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows, "Are you going to stand up for Su Muchen?"
"Jiu Mei, you are a princess, and you represent the face of the royal family." Yunchi seemed unable to understand her thoughts, "Why do you have such unrealistic ideas? A daughter's family should obey the three virtues and four virtues, and should cultivate their moral character.
, pay attention to your own reputation, how can you..."
"It turns out that Brother Seventh Emperor is not here to stand up for Su Muchen." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "You are here to preach to me."
"...No." Yunchi took a moment to deny, "I just can't understand it."
"You don't need to understand my behavior."
Yunchi was silent: "I still hope you can give up that idea."
"Why?"
She asked "why" instead of "why". The difference in one word represents completely different meanings and attitudes.
Yunchi frowned: "Su Muchen is an official of the imperial court. He studied hard for ten years in Hanchuang and was admitted to the official career with his own knowledge. The ambition of a scholar is to honor the ancestors, be loyal to the emperor and love the people, not to serve as the princess's wife or husband, but also to hope for nine.
I understand."
Yun Zishu laughed: "Brother Seventh Emperor is indeed here to preach."
Yunchi looked a little embarrassed: "That's not what I meant."
"No matter what you mean, you are not qualified to dictate to my princess's residence." Yun Zishu took a sip of tea, her expression became more relaxed, "No one has the right to interfere with what I want to do."
Yunchi looked at her in shock: "No one has the right to interfere?"
"Yes, anyone." Yun Zishu spoke calmly, looking at him with a bit of sarcasm in her eyes, "Do you want to use your father to suppress me?"
