Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

Li Chengzhen said nothing.

The Queen Mother said: "Eunuchs are also human beings. They also have parents and relatives. You killed them cruelly. Have you ever thought about their relatives?"

Li Chengzhen raised his head, his pupils dark, "Eunuchs are slaves. My mother said that slaves will always be slaves, and they are born to be lowly."

It's not a big deal if he kills a few servants.

The Queen Mother sighed deeply and said sadly, "Do you know that the world of Daqing is made up of countless slaves whom you look down upon? Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

Li Chengzhen looked confused.

When the Queen Mother saw his innocent and evil appearance, the last bit of warmth in her heart gradually faded away - this child would never have a chance to be crowned emperor.

It was late at night, and the palace servants cleaned the bloody bedroom and replaced the bed with new bedding and curtains. Li Chengzhen lay back on the bed, and the palace lanterns in the room emitted a faint cold light.

The Queen Mother sat beside the bed and patted Li Chengzhen's hand: "You go to sleep first. The Royal Grandmother will wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

Li Chengzhen looked at the Queen Mother eagerly, his eyes red and unhappy: "Grandmother, you haven't been with your grandchildren for a long time... You always accompany Chengtai and Chengyou."

"I don't like Chengtai and Chengyou. They took away my father and grandmother, and they want to take away my grandson's throne..."

The Queen Mother said nothing.

The room was quiet, with the sound of rain hitting the window frames. Li Chengzhen's eyelids gradually closed and he fell asleep.

Li Chengzhen fell asleep, his sleeping face was innocent, without any trace of his bloody and perverted nature.

The Queen Mother left Li Chengzhen's bedroom, sent people to bury the dead eunuchs, and sent generous pensions to the eunuchs' relatives. The old nanny and guards who took care of Li Chengzhen were all executed.

The next morning, the Queen Mother sent someone to invite Li Yuanjing and briefly informed him of Li Chengzhen's affairs.

The child's mentality was already distorted and it was difficult to correct it. Li Yuanjing discussed with the Queen Mother and decided to let Li Chengzhen rest for a while and stop studying and archery.

...

Time flies, and another five or six days pass. Li Chengzhen lives alone in the spacious courtyard, feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Without the heavy schoolwork, the heavy shackles on him seemed to have disappeared. But he felt depressed because he drank meditation medicine all day and was trapped in the yard without freedom.

That afternoon, Li Chengzhen was sitting alone on the stone steps in the courtyard. He raised his head and looked at the square sky surrounded by the palace wall. Two wild geese flew by.

Li Chengzhen stared blankly at the sky, his heart seemed to be filled with bitterness.

puff-

A small stone rolled down and hit Li Chengzhen's feet. Li Chengzhen looked around in confusion and saw the grass in the corner of the yard move and two figures emerged.

It's Lee Yo and Lee Seung Woo.

The two were covered in dirt and their hair was messy. Li Yao brushed off the dirt on her body and saw Li Chengzhen sitting on the stone steps. She hurried over stealthily and said, "Brother..."

Li Chengzhen looked confused.

Li Yao lowered her voice and said, "Father sent people to guard the door and not allow outsiders to enter. Chengyou was the one who found a way to dig a dog hole in the corner of the backyard. I have never been through a dog hole before."

Li Chengyou also ran over, his dark and strong body circled around Li Chengzhen, muttering: "Second brother, did you make father unhappy? Don't be sad, Sister Yao and I will bring you some delicious food."

As he spoke, Li Chengyou lifted up his clothes and took out a fragrant oil-paper bag.

Inside is golden fried crab.

Li Chengzhen snorted coldly and turned his head away: "I don't want to eat."

Li Chengyou snorted: "It must be because of your bad temper that father is unhappy! This bag of fried crabs is delicious, try it."

Li Chengzhen doesn't like this stupid brother.

He also refused to eat the food his younger brother sent him.

Li Chengyou pouted, sat down on the stone steps next to him, and started eating. Li Yao worriedly pulled Li Chengzhen's hand and comforted him, "Father is still angry. When he calms down, you can go back to the Imperial College to study."

The news of the torture and killing of eunuchs did not spread. Li Yao thought that his brother had done something wrong and was therefore placed under house arrest.

Li Chengzhen looked up at the wild geese flying across the sky: "Sister... I don't like reading, and I don't like archery."

He really doesn't like reading at all.

But since he learned to walk, he was forced to read and learn horse riding and archery every day when he opened his eyes. He didn't get enough sleep every day, and his mother's voice seemed to be a curse lingering in his ears.

Li Yao said gently: "Then don't study, don't shoot archery, do what you like."

Li Chengzhen lowered his head silently. Li Yao didn't know how to comfort her brother, so she could only sit next to Li Chengzhen and look at the square sky with him.

Li Chengyou handed over two golden and crispy fried crabs and waved them in front of Li Chengzhen: "They smell really good, you really don't want to eat them?"

Li Chengzhen snorted coldly: "I won't eat it!"

He hated Lee Seung-tae and Lee Seung-woo. Besides being jealous of the brothers' talents, he was more envious - jealous that they had time to play and fight, and jealous that their childhood was colorful.

For the next few evenings, Li Yao and Li Chengyou would quietly come in through the dog hole in the corner to chat with Li Chengzhen.

Li Chengyou brought crispy biscuits, lotus cakes, sesame milk balls, and roast duck one after another. Finally, Li Chengzhen had no choice but to taste the crispy roast duck.

"Is it delicious?" Li Chengyou's eyes sparkled.

Li Chengzhen was chewing roast duck and glanced at his fat and dark ninth brother out of the corner of his eye.

Suddenly I felt that my ninth brother was not so annoying after all.

Suddenly I felt that the night was not so scary.

The childhood that was missing for many years was briefly made up in these few days.

After dark, Li Yao and Li Chengyou crawled out of the dog hole, thinking that no one noticed them, and ran back to the Cining Palace in a hurry.

After the brother and sister left, the young eunuch standing in the corner of the palace gate breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to Yongning Palace to report to Shen Wei.

Shen Wei was reading under the lamp. After listening to the eunuch's report, she smiled and told Cai Lian beside her: "They go through dog holes every day, so their clothes are worn out. Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a few more sets of clothes for the two children."

Cai Lian gladly accepted the order, but couldn't help wondering: "Master, the Second Prince is cruel and vicious. How do you know he won't hurt Princess Yao and His Highness Chengyou?"

Shen Wei turned a page of the book: "No matter how evil a person is, there is always a little good in his heart."

What's more, Shen Wei sent people to keep an eye on them. If Li Chengzhen hurt Li Chengyou, someone would rush out to intercept him immediately.

...

...

Kunning Palace.

There have been rumors in the palace for the past few days, saying that Li Chengzhen has offended the emperor and the empress dowager, and that is why she is under house arrest. The queen was so angry that she tore the Buddhist beads in her hand.

What a useless thing!

The entire Tan Tai family hoped that Li Chengzhen would achieve great success in his career, but he just didn't live up to the expectations.

The queen couldn't sleep, and always felt that Li Chengzhen had become stupid without her supervision. So the queen took a lantern at night and quietly left Kunning Palace.

She wanted to meet Li Chengzhen, give him a good scolding, and guide the child back on the right track.
