When the fifth prince returned to his palace, he always felt that many eyes were falling on him intentionally or unintentionally. When he looked over, those palace people looked away again.
The fifth prince didn't think much about it.
At night, when he returned to his dormitory, he smelled a faint fragrance.
It is a powdery fragrance unique to women.
The fifth prince opened the bed curtain and saw a thinly dressed palace maid kneeling on the bed.
The fifth prince's expression changed and he said, "Who are you! What are you doing here?"
The palace maid raised her head and said with a flustered look on her face: "Your Highness, Fifth Highness, this servant is the palace maid who is here to guide you on bed matters."
The fifth prince said angrily: "Someone, drag her out!"
A nun and a eunuch came in.
The nanny is the old nun who serves in the palace of the fifth prince, and the eunuch is the eunuch in charge of this matter in the respect room.
Mammy explained in a low voice: "Fifth prince, you are about to choose a prince and concubine. These are all human affairs that you should learn."
The fifth prince glanced at the maid on the bed with disgust and said, "Let her go."
Mammy said: "Your Highness, this is what the Holy Father ordered."
When the Holy Emperor was mentioned, the fifth prince was more like a hedgehog with explosive hair. He picked up the incense burner at hand and threw it at the maid on the bed.
"roll!"
The ashes in the incense burner were not extinguished yet, and they were sprinkled on the body of the palace maid. The palace maid screamed in pain, and a scar was burned on her graceful back.
She quickly climbed down from the bed, cried and kowtowed: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die!"
When he raised his head, he could see the beautiful face of the palace maid.
The fifth prince's temper has always been unstable, and the nanny did not dare to persuade him when she saw this.
But the eunuch in the respect room came with a mission and said bravely: "Your Highness, is this the palace maid you don't like? I will give you another palace maid."
The fifth prince stared at the eunuch and said angrily: "I don't need the maids in the bedchamber, you all should get out."
The eunuch of the Jingshi Room flattered and said with a smile: "Don't be shy, this is one of the great pleasures in the world. You will know after you try it."
The eunuch's lewd expression made the fifth prince sick.
He stepped forward, pressed the head of the eunuch in the service room and slammed it on the table, and roared: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Get out of here!"
The eunuch of the Jingsi Room had always known that the fifth prince had a violent temper and would beat and scold the palace attendants when he was slightly dissatisfied, but he was not the fifth prince's palace attendant.
He came here with good intentions, but the fifth prince didn't appreciate it and beat him like this.
The eunuch in the respect room fell to the ground with blood all over his face, feeling extremely hateful in his heart.
Hearing the roar of the fifth prince, he didn't dare to delay any longer and ran out crawling.
Mammy also trembled to leave, but was stopped by the fifth prince.
The fifth prince's tone was filled with anxiety: "Peony Banquet chose a concubine for me, who else knows?"
Mammy said: "Choosing the prince's concubine is a big deal. Now everyone in Kyoto has heard about it."
The fifth prince's eyes widened and he said, "Do the people in the palace know about it too?"
Mammy didn't know why, so she said: "The Holy One has given the order, and everyone in the palace must have known about it, so I have to prepare it for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fifth prince rushed out of the palace.
But the locks on the palace doors fell off one by one. He walked out of the prince's residence, but could not reach the Shangshan prison at all.
Even if he goes to Shangshan Prison and makes such a big noise, he cannot see Derong, otherwise he will be forced to die.
what to do?
The fifth prince panicked.
Will Derong also know?
The palace attendants in the fifth prince's palace chased him out and said, "Fifth prince, it's so late, where are you going?"
The fifth prince did not answer them.
Surrounded by palace people, he was still lonely.
The fifth prince returned to the palace in despair. The bedding covered with incense ash had been replaced by the palace servants who were quick and agile.
But he still felt sick and would rather sleep on the soft couch than go to bed.
The palace garden is silent.
The fifth prince stayed up all night.
My Derong.
How sad you must be right now...
----------------------------------------
The prince's homework is very intense.
As a young bailo, Junze doesn't come here every day.
Junze also had some thoughts of deliberately avoiding it.
It was not until five days later that the fifth prince met Junze.
The first thing the fifth prince said was: "Cousin, let me meet Derong."
Junze's face was stern and he said, "What did you see him do?"
The fifth prince was asked.
He didn't know what to do when he saw Derong.
But he couldn't help but see it.
The fifth prince's always arrogant tone was filled with pleading, "I must see him, cousin, please help me."
Junze said coldly: "I can't let you see him before the Peony Banquet."
Monsters and ghosts from all sides were hiding in the dark, just waiting for the fifth prince to reveal his flaws and bite him severely.
If at this time it is discovered that the fifth prince is having an affair with a eunuch, they will go to hell.
The fifth prince said anxiously: "I don't want to attend the Peony Banquet, let alone marry the prince's concubine. Derong will be sad."
Junze's peach blossom eyes were full of horror, and he said in a cold tone: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
When the fifth prince saw Junze like this, he couldn't help but be afraid.
Junze's eyes were too sharp, as if they contained millions of knives that could kill him at any time.
But when he thought of Derong, he was no longer afraid.
Great courage arose in my heart.
The fifth prince collapsed and said, "I know what I'm talking about."
"None of this was what I wanted!"
"It's you! It's you! It's you who forced me to please my father. It's you who forced me to snatch the position of prince. It's you who snatched Derong away from me."
Junze was so angry that he grabbed the fifth prince by his collar and dragged him to a deserted corner.
Junze pushed the fifth prince against the wall and said angrily: "Everyone is planning for you, how dare you say such things!"
The fifth prince's usually domineering features were now so fragile that he was vulnerable to a blow.
He swallowed hard: "Cousin, I don't want anything, I just want Derong."
Junze raised his hand, wanting to slap the fifth prince.
But his rationality was still there, and he clenched his hands into fists in the air and smashed them against the wall against which the fifth prince was leaning.
Junze was so angry that his breathing was trembling, and it took him a long time to say:
"It's not something you want or don't want, it's something you have to do."
The fifth prince said: "Why do I have to do all this?"
"I'm in so much pain. I'm in pain all the time in the palace."
"Father indulges me and hates me even more."
"Everyone is afraid of me on the surface, but scolds me behind my back."
"Only Derong is wholeheartedly good for me."
"Only when I'm with De Rong, I feel like I'm still a human being."
Finally, the fifth prince burst into tears and said:
