His Highness the Crown Prince, who was regarded as a fool, gradually approached. The ladies in the flower hall stood up to greet him, and then left wisely: "Let's go to the garden first and talk to the Crown Princess later."
Wang Anxian and the Xi sisters all left with them.
Situ Wan stood up, lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, and saluted softly: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Sicang's expression was indifferent and he didn't even look at her.
"My daughter is not aware of what happened in the palace yesterday." Situ Wan's eyes were slightly red, as if he was explaining, and there was a sense of grievance in his tone, "I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will be aware of it."
Sicang walked directly to Yun Zishu: "Are you happy?"
Yun Zishu nodded and said in a leisurely tone: "I like this feeling of stars holding the moon."
Situ Wan froze, and the hands hanging by his sides clenched tightly.
"His Royal Highness." She raised her eyes, and at a close distance, she noticed that the prince's face was angular and handsome, "I..."
Sicang frowned and looked at her impatiently: "You can go."
Situ Wan's pretty face turned pale: "His Royal Highness?"
"You don't understand what I'm saying?" Sicang's eyebrows became more and more indifferent, "How can the eldest daughter of the Situ family be so indifferent?"
Situ Wan's face turned pale. She felt aggrieved and embarrassed for a moment. Tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her hand to wipe them away as if to cover up: "I will not disturb the conversation between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Please leave first."
After speaking in a low voice and choking with sobs, she knelt down and saluted again, her movements were standard, just like a lady who had been taught good rules, "I will host a banquet at home to entertain the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and also invite the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to show their respect.
"
Before Yun Zishu could speak, Si Cang said coldly: "The Crown Princess takes care of the internal affairs alone every day. She is so busy that she has no time to go out to visit guests recently."
Too busy to keep your feet off the ground?
Situ Wan narrowed her eyes, there was no concubine, no concubine, no concubine in the prince's palace, how busy could she be?
Busy about summoning noble ladies from aristocratic families to show off their power? Busy about showing off her status as the crown prince's exclusive favor?
Situ Wan's eyes were dark and cold. He bowed his head and saluted, but there was a forbearing look on his face: "My maid, please retire."
Yun Zishu stared at her back expressionlessly. Situ Wan did not go to the garden, but left the house directly.
"What are you looking at?" Sicang raised his hand and straightened her face, "What's so good about her?"
"She's not much to look at, but she was so badly injured yesterday that she still came to visit her today, which is really beyond my expectation." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "She seems to be a flexible and flexible woman."
Sicang had no interest in Situ Wan and did not even have the desire to discuss it. His eyes were locked on Yun Zishu's face: "Your Highness is really happy?"
"Yeah." Yun Zishu nodded slowly, turned around and walked onto the lake corridor, "How should I put it? It's a very wonderful feeling, truly condescending, and the stars are holding the moon... But I know in my heart that what they are holding is not
As a Crown Princess, I am not going to get dizzy just because of their flattering words."
After experiencing the past and present life, and experiencing the cynicism and ridicule of everyone, Yun Zishu has long developed a calm attitude. After all, she has experienced life and death, and the favor and humiliation in front of her is nothing.
But she also really felt the temptation of power.
"Don't blame Situ Wan for being so obsessed with the position of Crown Princess. She probably clearly saw her aunt's majesty as a queen over the years." Yun Zishu's voice was calm, "Mother is honored by the world, honored and favored, under the same decree.
, no matter you are a princess or a royal wife, you must obey them respectfully. The people who serve around you are all flattering you, and you enjoy a sense of superiority that no one can match. If you show the slightest hint of displeasure, the people who serve around you will be frightened.
… This feeling should be addictive.”
Si Cang tilted his head to look at her, with a smile in his eyes: "Is Your Highness going to be addicted?"
"Addiction shouldn't be a problem, but who doesn't like power?" Yun Zishu raised her hand and brushed the flower branches, "With power in hand, all hostility, jealousy, dissatisfaction and resentment have to be hidden, and no one dares to curse.
No one dares to be sarcastic or sarcastic, even their expressions must be very well groomed, respectful and docile."
Ask anyone in this world, they should be more willing to face kindness, smiles, humility and gentleness, even if it is just a kind mask, it is more comfortable than outright hostility.
"I will make Your Highness the most noble woman in the world." Sicang promised, his voice was steady and powerful, "The most noble - no one can match, let alone no one can surpass."
Yun Zishu smiled casually, "Sicang."
"Um."
"It is true that the high power makes people want to stop, but there are some things that are more cherished than power." Yun Zishu held his long and powerful hand, "I wish to have the person of my heart, and we will never be apart forever."
When Si Cang heard this, his heart suddenly became soft and tender, and even his eyes could not hide the deep emotion: "There is no conflict between the love of a husband and wife and the pursuit of the peak of power. You can have both."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "What if after experiencing the ultimate prosperity, she realizes the splendor of power and no longer clings to the promise of being together for the rest of her life?"
"No." Sicang's voice was low, "The position of emperor is not as important as His Highness in my heart."
"What if I change my mind?" Yun Zishu raised her lips slightly and turned to look at him with interest, "What will you do?"
Sicang pursed his lips: "Your Highness will not do that."
"I'm talking about just in case."
"Then I will build a cage made of black iron and imprison His Highness." Sicang said, "Let Your Highness belong to me alone."
Yun Zishu's expression was slight: "Insolent."
"Yes." Sicang admitted his mistake with a very obedient attitude, "After living in the cage, if His Highness is unhappy, you can beat me and punish me. I promise that I will not resist."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "Don't think that if you behave so well, I will forgive your presumption."
The corners of Sicang's lips raised: "Your Highness is wise, mighty, magnanimous, and the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly."
Yun Zishu's mouth twitched.
"Feng Ci has left the imperial city." Sicang quickly got down to business, "King Jing sent someone to send a message early in the morning, saying that he wanted to see us."
"I don't have time to see him." Yun Zishu said with an indifferent expression, "Let him stay in Guanyi for a few more days, and then go back after attending your enthronement ceremony."
"Your Highness, Crown Princess." The girl's calm voice sounded from behind, "I want to go back to the palace first."
Yun Zishu turned around and saw Dong Lingyan standing alone behind her, "Where is your maid?"
"I asked her to wait for me outside." Dong Lingyan lowered her eyebrows and whispered, "When you come here today, the queen actually wants me to tell you that there is a hidden reason for abandoning the prince back then, and Concubine Gua is the biggest instigator."
