Chapter 299 No one wins
"However, you are so willing to follow that bitch, subdue her, and try to curry favor with her."

Gao Changxue stood where she was, and sighed in an insignificant way, "Sister Dahuang said, the autumn crabs that Chengyang paid tribute to this year are very good, let me bring you some too."

Gao Changyan choked back before she had a chance to continue the rest of the venomous words that were on her lips.

He looked at Gao Changxue in disbelief.

"You don't need to pretend to be a good person."

"It's strange that Gao Changle would be so kind!"

Gao Changyan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, "I don't need your pity."

In fact, if Gao Changxue hadn't been helping behind the scenes in the past few years, Gao Changyan's life would have been difficult for a long time.

People sometimes say a lot of vicious, sharp and hurtful things.

Sometimes they are really full of resentment, wishing that the person she spoke of would die immediately, but sometimes, they try their best to say those vicious words, just to attract the attention of others and make others pay attention to her, even if it is Whether it's resentment or blame, it's better than her aimlessly staying in this cold palace alone.

Loneliness really sucks.

It will destroy people's body and mind little by little, and swallow people up little by little.

As if Gao Changxue couldn't hear Gao Changyan's hurtful words, she placed the boiled autumn crabs and a few of Gao Changyan's favorite side dishes on the tidy table she had cleaned up just now, "I also brought your favorite Osmanthus cake."

"This autumn crab is good, but autumn crab is cold in nature, so you can't eat too much."

Gao Changxue sat down with familiar movements, spread a pair of chopsticks for Gao Changyan, and started to eat dinner. Looking at Gao Changyan who was standing not far away as if he was angry with him, "Really don't want to come and have a taste?"

"It's not easy to eat a meal of crabs in the palace. The eldest sister orders the whole palace to eat crabs, but you don't want to eat them?"

Gao Changyan bit her lip, thought for a while and sat opposite Gao Changxue angrily, "Why don't I eat it?"

Gao Changxue smiled and brought the hairy crabs he had just peeled to her, "Then let's take it while it's hot."

Looking at Gao Changyan who was gobbling it up, Gao Changxue only felt a little sad. In the past, when Concubine Ning Gui was still alive, the most proud and beautiful princess in the palace was Gao Changyan. At that time, even Gao Changle and Gao Changyu could not compare she.

But now it has fallen into such a miserable situation.

"This year, Xinke has selected a lot of students with noble character, talent and good looks to become officials. Among them, Mr. Wang, who is second in the list, is a leader of all kinds. The official order from the court has been issued, and he canonized as the fifth-rank magistrate of Yuzhou. I heard that That Lord Wang has not yet married a wife, and his family background is clean, only one mother from a scholarly family is alive, and there is no one else..."

Gao Changxue looked at Gao Changyan who was in a good mood, and opened her mouth tentatively.

Gao Changyan nodded, the corners of her lips were a little stained with crab roe, and she did not forget to smile contemptuously, "You really did not flatter her in vain."

"If you really follow what you said, that Mr. Wang is indeed a suitable husband candidate."

"Especially for someone like you who has no mother and concubine to rely on, that bitch is willing to propose marriage to you, which is considered right for you."

In the past few years, because of Gao Changle's decree to recruit disciples from poor families, many people's ideas of marrying daughters and choosing husbands have been changed. Although the status of students from poor families is temporarily down, as long as they have real talents, they will definitely have some achievements in the court in the future. Achievement, this is incomparable to those dudes who rely on their ancestors to protect them.

Gao Changxue's eyes flickered, "Sister Sanhuang, Sister Dahuang said, if you want, she will propose a marriage for you and marry Mrs. Wang as your wife."

blah-

The crab legs Gao Changyan was holding fell onto the table without warning, and she looked at Gao Changxue in shock.

"you……"

"What did you say?"

"Second Sister Huang is still alive."

Gao Changxue hesitated, but decided to tell Gao Changyan what Gao Changle had done silently, "The Duke of Qi's mansion was sentenced to ransacking and beheading. Before the execution, the elder sister ordered someone to bring her out."

"Elder Sister said that she loved the wrong person, and the Duke of Qi's conspiracy had nothing to do with her. She made mistakes and thought of harming others, but she was punished so that she would not be implicated by the Qi family. I even lost my life."

"If you go out of the palace to get married in the future, Second Sister Huang can also be by your side and be your companion. In the future, when the tenth emperor grows up, he will have his fiefdom."

He told Gao Changyan what he wanted to say in one breath, Gao Changxue sent the peeled crab meat to Gao Changyan, and slowly got up, she had already said what should be said, and the rest was up to Gao Changyan herself Can't figure it out.

"Actually, what I miss the most is when we were young. At that time, the empress of the Yuan Dynasty had not passed away. The sisters talked, laughed and had fun together. I don't know when it started. The ladies in the palace fought to the death. Even our biological sisters and brothers are incompatible."

"I have to go."

"Third Sister."

Gao Changxue, who was about to step out of the palace gate, hesitated for a while and took it back, pursed her lips and looked at Gao Changyan with complicated eyes, "Don't hate."

"In the past few years, you have been not letting yourself go."

The voice fell.

Gao Changxue stopped looking into Gao Changyan's eyes, and holding an oil-paper umbrella, his figure gradually disappeared from Gao Changyan's sight.

Hot tears rolled down Gao Changyan's eyes, and dripped down on the freshly peeled autumn crabs. Together with the autumn rain that was gradually falling outside, this night, I am afraid that it will be completely difficult to sleep peacefully!

"Don't hate it?"

Gao Changyan's eyes were slightly red, and she murmured softly, "She killed my mother and concubine, and caused my sister and me to come down here,—"

If it weren't for Gao Changle's many calculations, her concubine mother and concubine would have been in charge of the harem long ago, and she would have become the most honorable princess of Great Wei, and her imperial brother would also have become the monarch of Great Wei. All the best men in the world would do their best. She chooses, He Chou marriage will be reduced to the point where she is rewarded.

"But my concubine mother also caused her mother to die early, and I also caused her life to hang by a thread..."

The tears in Gao Changyan's eyes flowed more and more fiercely. The Ning family rebelled, and her mother and concubine were dead. With her status as a descendant of a criminal minister, she might die in the palace all her life and no one would pay attention to her, let alone marrying a new dignitary. , got a marriage from the regent princess.

Her elder sister, after all, gave her and her siblings a face.

"No one is wrong, and—"

"No one wins."

Autumn crabs are the most plump, and the craftsmanship of the Royal Kitchen is the best, but the moment they are eaten, they feel bitter and hard to swallow.

-

The autumn rain did not stop at night.

Raindrops trickled down the glazed tiles, forming puddles on the marble steps.

Gao Changle coaxed Gao Changming to sleep before carefully coming out of Xianyun Palace. He walked around Gongdaochang Street and looked at Qionghua Palace not far away, but he was lingering outside the palace, hesitating.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"The Seventh Prince's bedroom is right in front of you, why don't you go and see him?"

"At this moment, the Seventh Prince should have not rested yet."

Zhucui thought for a while, and decided to persuade Gao Changle, lest His Highness regret it in the future, "There is also the fifth princess's marriage, the third princess, you have made plans for her, what about the fifth princess—"

Gao Changle has already made a decision to go to Snake Flower Village in person to find the antidote to Gu poison. The fifth princess and the seventh prince who are close to her have not made a decision for a long time, and even now——

Even when she went to meet Gao Changchen, she was so embarrassed.

Zhu Cui really couldn't figure out what Gao Changle was worrying about.

No, not right.

It should be that Zhucui really doesn't understand what Gao Changle is afraid of.

"Father passed away, and he had to observe a three-year national funeral, which delayed the marriage of the princess and prince in the palace. Now that the snow has grown heavily, and he has his own opinions, the palace has already asked several respected and respected veterans in the court to help choose the one for him. For reference, in the future she will marry whomever she likes."

"As for Chen'er—"

I saw Gao Changle's willow eyebrows tightly twisted, through the rain curtain outside the oil-paper umbrella, looking at the three words Qionghua Temple, a little lost in thought.

In her previous life, she had a great prejudice against Gao Changchen because of her stubbornness. She felt that his appearance killed her mother. It was because she wanted to save his life that her mother died on the delivery bed. Later, Gao Changle didn't hate Gao Changchen anymore, but Always because of face, I don't know how to get close to Gao Changchen...

Siblings are estranged.

Although Gao Changle took Gao Changchen to take care of him in this life, he also tried his best to care for Gao Changchen and wanted to make up for what he owed him.

But time flies so fast.

For more than four years, Gao Changle felt as if it was flowing in the blink of an eye.

Yin Mingzhe came prepared. This trip to Jiangguo's Snake Flower Village is unpredictable. If he doesn't come back, Gao Changchen will experience the pain of losing her again.

Maybe it's because the more you care about it, the more difficult it is to talk about it.

She can make good arrangements for Gao Changze, and even Gao Changyan and Gao Changyu's whereabouts, but she hasn't thought about how she will say goodbye to Gao Changchen.

Gao Changle took a deep breath, and finally, under Zhucui's expectant eyes, he started to walk towards Qionghua Hall. The bright yellow candlelight illuminated the long corridor through the hollow carved window, and he could vaguely In the reflection, Gao Changchen was sitting tall and straight at the rosewood desk, practicing calligraphy and painting carefully and attentively.

Compared with the previous dynasty that was full of plots, calculations and debates, Gao Changchen's personality is very similar to her mother's, gentle and elegant, generous and friendly, more suitable for a idle prince, with excellent leisure and elegance, only talking about romance.

Hearing the movement outside the hall, Gao Changchen in the reflection put down his pen, and the little eunuch Wang Lu bowed all the way, and humbly came to Gao Changle to pay his respects, "Your Highness, my servant, I will go to inform His Highness the Seventh Prince."

"No need."

"I will go by myself."

Gao Changle flicked his sleeves and strode into the dormitory. At that time, Gao Changchen also heard the sound and greeted him at the door. He was extremely excited and happy to see Gao Changle's figure appearing in his sight, "Elder Sister, why are you here at this time."

"It's still raining outside!"

Gao Changchen carefully took Gao Changle's cold hands and warmed her up.

Gao Changle smiled softly, "I just came out of Xianyun Palace and coaxed Ming'er to sleep, so I stopped by to see you."

"Sister Huang is too eccentric. She has to coax Minger every day. When I was young, Sister Huang rarely coaxed me to sleep." Gao Changchen pretended to be jealous, and looked at Gao Changle with a very sour tone, which made Zhu Cui not happy. Holding back, he burst out laughing.

"Seventh prince, your highness loves you the most. You see which princes in the palace stayed with my sister, but you moved to this Qionghua hall after you turned ten years old."

"Sister Zhucui is the smartest!"

Gao Changchen laughed and joked, and the bedroom seemed to be much warmer in an instant.

"Changchen, sister Huang came here and said she wanted to tell you something." Gao Changle slowly stretched out her hand, and gently stroked Gao Changchen's green cheeks that resembled her father's. big.

Unknowingly, she was already a head taller than herself, and she was no longer that little dumpling who followed her and only acted coquettishly.

Gao Changchen listened carefully.

"Sister Huang wants... wants you to go to the Qinzhou fief after you become an adult."

Gao Changle's voice hesitated, "Are you willing?"

If the prince does not stay in the palace after he becomes an adult, but directly entrusts the land to be the king, he will completely lose the opportunity to compete for the throne. Just like Gao Changyuan, he may not be allowed to enter Beijing without a call in his life.

"of course."

Gao Changle originally thought that Gao Changchen would at least think about it, and then give himself an answer after careful consideration, but he didn't expect Gao Changchen to directly nod his head straightforwardly in front of his own face.

"I know that Sister Huang loves me the most in her heart, and the place that Sister Huang arranged for me must be the best." Gao Changchen smiled sincerely, "Actually, Sister Huang, I didn't plan to compete with other imperial brothers and brothers for anything. , I didn’t dare to tell you all this time because I was afraid of disappointing you.”

"When I get older, I want to travel around the world, and I want to see the geomantic omens of Wei and other countries."

In order to fight for power, many people would not hesitate to kill each other and betray their relatives, but in the end they really ascended to the throne but still fell into intrigues. I don't know if it was the endless schemes of the previous dynasty, and even the people next to the harem had other secrets. thought.

In recent years, Gao Changchen has also watched the many concubines in Emperor Jiayuan's harem fighting openly and secretly. No one is really happy from the bottom of his heart. miserable.

If possible, he just wants to be an idle prince, find a real person to accompany him, and feel lost in the mountains and rivers.

Looking at Gao Changchen with bright eyes, Gao Changle also heaved a sigh of relief.

"If you think so, Sister Huang is really happy from the bottom of her heart. From now on, I don't have to worry about you anymore!" Gao Changle's voice was full of relief, and he looked at him reluctantly.

"Then Miss Huang will not delay your calligraphy practice."

"It's late at night, take care of your body, don't tire your eyes."

Gao Changchen smiled gently all the time, when he saw Gao Changle's figure was about to step out of the dormitory, he suddenly stopped her.

"Sister Huang, Chen'er is waiting for Sister Huang to come back, and personally canonize the imperial decree for Chen'er!"
