The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night
Chapter 68 One word becomes a prophecy
In the palace, the ninth princess sat in front of the dressing table.
Outside the window, it is raining heavily.
Just like her mood at the moment.
Wine is a good thing.
When I was drunk, I didn't remember anything. Tan Tai Ting and Nie Yunrou all disappeared into thin air.
But alcohol can also cause problems.
She was drunk just once in her life, and yet she did something so earth-shattering.
The emperor came to see her and angrily scolded Pei Yan, that brat. But now that things have come to this, there is no other choice.
So many people saw it with their own eyes.
She forced them.
What the eldest princess said that day came true!
She really endured all the sufferings that the imperial sister had endured.
"Wei'er, the Marquis's wife is easy to get along with. She wouldn't and wouldn't dare to embarrass you. Pei Yan is also very handsome, so it's not that you're being wronged. However, now that you're married, you need to control your temper a little. You can't be so willful and capricious anymore."
Concubine Li spoke earnestly.
"Where is Tantai Ting?"
The Ninth Princess turned a deaf ear to Concubine Li's advice.
The emperor had already issued an edict granting the marriage, but she wasn't willing at all. Who the heck was Pei Yan! Was he even worthy of being her consort?
Upon hearing this, Concubine Li stood up and said angrily:
"Why are you still thinking about him? If it weren't for him, would you be in this situation now? Wei'er, just treat him as if he's dead!"
"Mother, I won't accept this! Why? Why does he treat me like this?"
The ninth princess burst into tears.
She also wanted to forget Tan Tai Ting, but she couldn't do it!
How could she forget the childhood sweetheart's affection completely overnight?!
"Your Majesty, Master Tantai is outside requesting an audience."
The palace maid reported.
"No! Tell him to get out!" Concubine Li roared.
But the Ninth Princess had already rushed out in the heavy rain. The moment she saw Dan Tai Ting, she was so happy that she couldn't help but rush up and hugged him tightly.
"Brother Ting, you came to see me, right? You came to tell me that you were wrong, right? I forgive you! Brother Ting, you want to take Nie Yunrou as your concubine, I agree, and I won't stop you!"
But Tan Tai Ting pulled her away and said calmly:
"Princess, you're mistaken."
The Ninth Princess shrank back, but still held on to a glimmer of hope.
"Brother Ting, I... I don't like that Pei Yan. I only like you. I was drunk and thought he was you... Brother Ting, you are the only one in my heart. Don't ignore me!"
Tan Tai Ting sighed and said to the crying princess:
"Princess, change your temper after you get married. Not everyone can tolerate you forever."
The Ninth Princess' heart sank when she heard this. She slapped Tan Tai Ting in the face and cursed:
"Dan Tai Ting, who do you think you are? Is it your turn to teach me a lesson?"
Tan Tai Ting touched his aching cheek with his tongue, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly:
"Yes, I am nothing. So I am not worthy of the princess. Princess, I came here to tell you that I have proposed to Rouer and she has agreed. The wedding will be on the eighth day of next month."
The Ninth Princess stayed where she was, and it took her a while to react.
She was stunned for a moment, then she pounded Tan Taiting's chest like a madman, cursing as she beat him:
"Why! Why! Tan Tai Ting! Why are you doing this to me! You clearly love me! It was that bitch who seduced you! I'm going to kill her! I'm going to ask my father to kill that bitch!!!"
"enough!"
Tan Tai Ting let her go crazy for a while, then grabbed the Ninth Princess's hands, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said through gritted teeth:
"Princess, I have never loved you. Like Prince Jing, I only regard you as a younger sister. Princess, you have always been wishful thinking and have misinterpreted my meaning. Princess, please wake up!"
Tan Tai Ting sighed deeply. The heavy rain had already drenched them through and through.
"Princess, your love is too overbearing and suffocating. Forget me and don't make the same mistake again."
The Ninth Princess looked at Tan Tai Ting in disbelief, as if she was meeting him for the first time. After a long moment, she fiercely shouted,
"roll!"
"I resign!"
After Tan Tai Ting finished speaking, he picked up the umbrella and stuffed it into the Ninth Princess's hand, then walked into the rain without hesitation.
The ninth princess threw the umbrella to the ground.
"what!"
She knelt in the rain and let out a shrill roar.
Concubine Li, the palace maids and the maids rushed forward and surrounded her.
"Weier! Weier, you can't scare Mother!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The ninth princess burst into tears. The heavy rain soaked her clothes and splashed her body with mud.
……
"Your Highness, the wind is strong and the rain is heavy. Please go in quickly."
The palace maid reminded.
The eldest princess watched the heavy rain wash away everything, drowning out the Ninth Princess's shrill cries. She sighed and said:
"She is experiencing the pain I went through back then. Why must every daughter of my Li family endure such pain? Perhaps this is the retribution for all the evil she has done!"
The palace maid said distressedly:
"Your Highness, you worry too much!"
"Hmph! Who the hell is Tan Tai Ting! How dare he treat this princess's sister so badly! He and Nie Yunrou got pregnant before marriage, his private morality is corrupt! Tell the people below to report him!"
"Yes. Your Highness, please return quickly. The imperial physician said that you are too weak to be exposed to the wind and rain. The Ninth Princess will be well cared for by Concubine Li."
The princess glanced at the palace in the heavy rain and suddenly said sadly:
"Pei Heng is about to die, what's the point of this princess living? I might as well die with him. If we can't share the same path in life, at least we can walk together in death."
The palace maid behind him burst into tears when she heard this.
Ever since General Pei rejected her marriage proposal, the princess has been suffering. Even after marrying her husband, she never slept with him.
After her husband died of depression, the princess summoned numerous aides to her palace, where she lived in peace and prosperity every day. Outsiders believed that the eldest princess was extremely promiscuous, but in fact, she remained a virgin.
……
The heavy rain made the air extremely humid and stuffy, and Concubine Jiang was also depressed.
She was staring at the tiger-head shoes in her hands in a daze.
Several palace maids were carrying buckets and basins to collect water everywhere. Whenever it rained heavily, it would rain everywhere in Tangli Palace.
Nine years ago, Concubine Jiang was implicated in a conspiracy by the Empress's family, and Tangli Palace became a cold palace. The palace fell into disrepair, and Concubine Jiang became a forgotten figure in the palace.
"My lord, you have been looking at it all day. It's dark and you've damaged your eyes."
The nanny felt sorry for Concubine Jiang and took the tiger-head shoes from her and put them aside.
Lady Jiang sighed and said:
"Am I really getting old? Am I seeing things? How can there be two people who look so much alike? They're exactly the same."
"Don't think about it, my dear. The eldest prince has been gone for nine years."
"So, could this be Qian'er's reincarnation? The age seems to match."
"Oh!" The nanny looked at the dazed Concubine Jiang and sighed.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Prince Su hurried in holding an umbrella. His pink clothes were soaked, and strands of hair stuck to his face.
He saw that the palace was flooded with leaks and said:
"Mom, I'll climb up and repair the roof someday when it's sunny."
Lady Jiang smiled when she saw her son. She pulled her son over and wiped his wet hair.
"I didn't see you at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet. Why are you here today when it's raining so heavily?"
"What's so fun about a palace banquet? I'm too lazy to join in the fun. It's raining and windy today, so I came here because I was worried about my mother."
Seeing the tiger-head shoes beside him, he grabbed them and fumbled with them, saying:
"Why did mother take out my eldest brother's things?"
Concubine Jiang sighed:
"On the Dragon Boat Festival, I was weeding in the medicinal field and saw a child who looked exactly like your eldest brother when he was a child."
Prince Su was taken aback and asked:
"But is it Pei Huan, the eldest son of General Pei of the Jinyuan Marquisate?"
Concubine Jiang was stunned and asked what was going on.
When Prince Su finished speaking, she couldn't help but burst into tears and said with trembling lips:
"So, he... he's not?"
Prince Su shook his head. "Mother, Madam Pei has said so, so it shouldn't be the case. Why? Mother also suspects that Huan Ge'er is the eldest prince's child?"
"Likely! Really alike! The age is right too."
Concubine Jiang recalled that shortly before the rebellion broke out, the eldest prince Li Qian wrote to her and said that the princess was pregnant and the doctor's pulse showed that it was most likely a boy.
She and the queen were happy for a long time at that time.
"But I've tried it, and it's really not the case. The Emperor's wife and the eldest brother were burned to death in the sea of fire. The child should not have been born."
Prince Su also hoped that Huan Ge'er was his eldest brother's child, but the facts proved that he was not. He was upset for a long time!
Lady Jiang pondered for a moment and said:
"But I still think they are similar. By the way, you brothers all inherited your father's legacy: a black heart-shaped birthmark on your butt. Why don't you try it out some other day?"
After hearing this, Prince Su rekindled his hope.
