Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 14 Prince's life experience

"He is already a prince, and the throne will definitely belong to him in the future, so why make things difficult for you?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

After the emperor and empress left, Su Xiaoxiao and Sima Yue sat in the gazebo looking at the sparkling lake, both a little absent-minded. After going through the dangerous situation just now, both of them felt a little dignified at this moment.Su Xiaoxiao was really puzzled, how could someone with Sima Yue's character have enemies?
"Being in the royal family, there is no 'certainty'. Even if you really sit on the throne of the emperor, you must always worry that someone will drive you down from that position." Sima Yue said lightly, "I understand him. I have nothing like him..."

"Sima Yue, are you stupid!" Su Xiaoxiao jumped off the stool and interrupted him, "They have treated you like that, and you still speak for him? He still has nothing? He has the crown prince! "

"Is power everything in a person's life?" Sima Yue looked up at her with rare seriousness, "I have a mother who loves me, and a sister who respects me." He paused for a moment, then said: "I still have have you……"

Su Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear and asked, "Then... where is his mother?"

"It is said that his biological mother, Concubine Hui, is a beautiful woman who can overwhelm the country. She was very affectionate with her father in her early years. At one point, her father wanted to dismiss the harem for her. The ministers insisted that the ancestral system should not be broken, so they gave up. It's a pity that Concubine Hui died. Bo, when she was pregnant with her second child, she had a miscarriage for some reason. After that, she became thinner and bedridden. The imperial doctors were helpless, and she went there when she was only in her twenties. At that time, the emperor was only three years old. Before she passed away, she was worried about the emperor. He was bullied at a young age, so he asked his father to swear a heavy oath to make his brother the crown prince, and his father was too sad to agree to everything, but..."

"But the emperor quickly established a queen, with you and Princess Wan. As for you, you can't do anything else. You can fight wars and perform military exploits. So Sima Yu understands very well that the reason why he can still be the prince is because The emperor's partiality for his biological mother, once the remaining love is exhausted, it will be hard to claim the crown prince's position, right?" Su Xiaoxiaomao said suddenly.

"Yes, so I understand that he is in constant anxiety. In this palace, he has no one to rely on, and the crown prince's position is in jeopardy. He has no choice but to be indifferent to anyone, and he will definitely regard me as a thorn in his side." Sima Yue smiled wryly.

"In this way, he is really pitiful..." Su Xiaoxiao thought of Sima Yu's frowning all the time. This man probably rarely had moments of joy. The Queen's concern, Princess Wan's intimacy, and the Emperor's unattainable paternal love all did not belong to him. He only worked hard in his own corner, hoping to survive in this treacherous palace.

"Let's not talk about these things. Generally speaking, thank you today." Sima Yue smiled, "I, Sima Yue, really saw the right person."

Su Xiaoxiao patted Sima Yue's shoulder carelessly.The sudden thunderclap startled the two of them.There are still a lot of thunderstorms in autumn in the south. The weather was fine just now, but suddenly dark clouds covered and thunder broke out. It rained in a short while, and the lake outside the gazebo was rippling.From afar, I saw Chen Tingqiu coming over with an umbrella, entered the gazebo to shake off the rainwater from his body, and saluted Sima Yue: "Sixth Prince, it's raining, Boss Zhen asked me to take Xiaoxiao back."

"Sure, take good care of Xiaoxiao." Sima Yue took off his cloak and put it on Xiaoxiao, telling Xiaoxiao to go back to rest.

Chen Tingqiu hesitated to speak, but finally saluted and pulled Xiaoxiao into his umbrella, turned around and left.Xiao Xiao felt that his pace was very fast today, unlike in the past, and she couldn't keep up with her own strides, so she stood still and shouted loudly: "Chen Tingqiu! Are you angry? Can you explain clearly if you have something to say? "

Chen Tingqiu also stood still and turned around, approaching step by step: "Why am I angry? Don't you know?"

"I... How would I know? You men have a needle in the bottom of your heart!" Although Xiao Xiao was stubborn, she was a little guilty after all, but after a while she felt guilty for no reason.

"You said before that you have nothing to do with the prince, so you didn't break your promise. But why do you have a close relationship with the sixth prince? How long are you going to let me worry about you? I was just outside, watching you in the Dangerous situation, I wish I could rush in and take you away, but I can't!"

"Sima is more straightforward and easy to get close to. It doesn't matter if we have a better relationship. He's not like that cold prince who might want my head at any time!" Su Xiaoxiao muttered.

"The sixth prince is simple and frank? I think you are the only one who is innocent in this huge palace. You almost lost your life today, don't you understand? This battle for the throne, what are we opera actors getting involved in? They are just using you and taking you Use it as a tool to criticize each other!" Chen Tingqiu's lips trembled slightly, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the umbrella turned white.

This sentence was so enlightening that Su Xiaoxin's head shook, and he lowered his head without saying a word.

Chen Tingqiu saw that Xiaoxiao looked a little gloomy, so he slowed down his tone and said: "The sixth prince has no intention of marrying you, but he made no secret of his interest in you, and let everyone know that you are his weakness, which is harming you. "

Su Xiaoxiao saw that Chen Tingqiu had put the umbrella on top of her head, and his shoulders were covered with wet water stains, and she felt a dull pain in her heart. "Okay, I see. I'll take care of it," she replied.

"What to deal with?" Chen Tingqiu smiled bitterly, "Is it your love?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked up in surprise.

"Xiao Xiao, you're really emotional this time."
