Chapter 401 Past events (1)
After hearing what Chen Lingyi said, Emperor Tianqi's mood, which had finally calmed down, was instantly stirred up!
He couldn't help but point his finger at Chen Lingyi, his eyes cold and he said with regret:
"You are hopeless!"
Chen Lingyi felt full of grievances, she didn't understand why Emperor Tianqi scolded her!
"younger brother!"
Chen Lingyi crawled to Emperor Tianqi on her knees, reached out and grabbed the hem of his dragon robe, and called him as if she were a child.
"Sister, please don't let my uncle marry Luo Xiaoran, okay?"
What responded to Chen Lingyi was a deathly silence and Emperor Tianqi's eyes that were both numb and heartbroken.
"Royal sister, how long are you going to make trouble?"
Amid Emperor Tianqi's questioning, Chen Lingyi slowly loosened her dragon robe and let it fall to the ground.
She lowered her head and stopped talking.
A kingfisher-emerald phoenix hairpin was inserted diagonally on Chen Lingyi's bun. The phoenix eyes dotted with rubies seemed to follow the owner's emotions, flashing with tears.
Intense pain and struggle suddenly surged in Emperor Tianqi's eyes, and his head began to ache.
……
seven years ago.
Emperor Tianqi was still an unknown prince who was even bullied by palace servants on a daily basis.
The thirteen-year-old Chen Lingyi had grown into a flower, about to bloom, but she was like a fly, trying every means to hang around the favored princes all day long, but she was rarely seen.
Lin Yuanfang was the commander of the Imperial Guard at the time. The commander of the Imperial Guard at that time was a disciple of the Lin family. When he met Lin Yuanfang, who was of the same rank, while on duty in the palace, he openly treated him as a subordinate.
One night, after being deprived of food again, Chen Lingyi, who was furious, planned to severely punish the palace servants who had caused trouble.
But the palace where she lived was so remote that it was no different from a cold palace.
A few scattered palace servants colluded with each other and became increasingly lazy and fearless in their job of serving the royal bloodline.
The palace servant retorted and said some sarcastic words. Chen Lingyi felt humiliated and couldn't hold back her pride, so she ran out in anger.
Apart from the palace where she lived and the vacant Fukang Palace, Chen Lingyi had nowhere else to go.
……
When she was seven years old, Chen Lingyi was told by a nanny that there was also a royal descendant living in Fukang Palace who was forgotten by everyone, just like them.
The nanny also told her that if she approached the royal blood who lived in Fukang Palace and secretly told the nanny what he did every day, her brother would be able to study in the Shangshufang.
Her younger brother Chen Xuanrui still hadn't started to learn. Chen Lingyi saw it and was worried, so she agreed to the nanny's request without any hesitation.
As a result, Fukang Palace became the place Chen Lingyi went to every day. She would go there even if she was turned away, and she would go there shamelessly!
Finally, the door of Fukang Palace was opened to her, and sometimes, she would bring Chen Xuanrui with her.
Gradually, she discovered that the person living in Fukang Palace was actually Prince Yan of Daliang, her younger uncle!
My uncle is a very special person. Although he did not go to Shangshufang to study, he can read. Whenever he has free time, he will study books. When he gets tired of reading, he will practice boxing and martial arts to keep fit.
Chen Lingyi found it very strange that her uncle did not have the resentment and fear of a lurking dragon. Because she had the same experience, she was full of resentment and hatred.
Her uncle was made a king at a young age, but was forgotten in the deep palace and sometimes bullied by the palace servants around him. This was another thing that Chen Lingyi found strange.
Chen Lingyi felt that her uncle was full of mysteries, but so what? She loved being with him!
Because her uncle would teach her to read and write, would give her and her brother cakes to eat, and would help her teach the palace servants who bullied her a lesson...
In this way, Chen Lingyi reached the age of ten.
For three years, her younger brother studied hard in the Shangshufang, and she could also follow her younger uncle, read and learn words, and learn skills from books together.
Although she was still living a life like in the cold palace, with her younger brother and uncle by her side, she felt that she had spent the happiest three years since she was born.
Her happiness came to an abrupt end when her royal grandfather passed away and her frail father ascended the throne.
Because her uncle had left, gone to the far north, to fight the northern barbarians and to guard the border, and maybe he would never come back!
When she first learned that her father had ascended the throne, Chen Lingyi was very happy because her status changed from the emperor's grandson to the emperor's daughter.
Not only did her status become more honorable, she could also live in the palace with full legitimacy and visit her uncle at any time.
According to etiquette, these children should follow their father and live in the Prince's Mansion outside the palace.
But the Empress Dowager only had one son, the King, who was frail and sickly. The Empress Dowager was worried that it would take a lot of energy for the King to raise the children himself, so she simply left all the children in the palace.
Before meeting her uncle, Chen Lingyi prayed every day that her father would take her and her brother out of the palace. The palace was a place where people were eaten and the people inside were all monsters!
After meeting her uncle, she changed her mind.
Their father hated their mother, so he would not pay attention to them. Even if they returned to the Prince's Mansion, their life would not be much better than in the palace.
In the palace, she can stay with her uncle every day, and she has become accustomed to such a life!
But now, Chen Ji has left, and Chen Lingyi has become a princess, just like three years ago, and the world has fallen into darkness again.
……
After the thirteen-year-old Chen Lingyi ran out of her own palace in anger, she went straight to the Fukang Palace, the place she wanted to go and could only go to.
"Squeak-"
Pushing open the door of Fukang Palace, Chen Lingyi walked in under the frosty moonlight.
After Chen Ji left, this place became a completely abandoned cold palace. No one would come here on weekdays, which gave Chen Lingyi a place to lick her wounds alone.
She walked towards her secret base, which was Chen Ji's bedroom.
When Chen Ji was alive, he never let Chen Lingyi enter his bedroom.
After Chen Ji left, Chen Lingyi often came here to hang out as a revenge.
A more contradictory point is that Chen Lingyi, who seemed to have a vengeful mentality, felt uneasy because she had disobeyed Chen Ji's wishes, so she always walked on tiptoe.
As usual, she wandered to the bedroom like a ghost. Just as she was about to push open the red door of the bedroom, Chen Lingyi paused with her raised hand and a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes.
What's that sound inside?
Moaning, panting...
Although Chen Lingyi has not yet reached the age of marriage, it does not mean that she does not know how the sound inside is made!
After being shocked, Chen Lingyi felt a strong rage in her heart.
Which palace's maid dared to mess around in my uncle's bedroom? How audacious!
She was so angry that she pushed open the door of the bedroom and shouted at the people inside:
"Which palace's maid is committing adultery in the harem? Are they trying to kill themselves?"
The two people inside the bed curtains immediately fell silent. Chen Lingyi's chest heaved violently with anger, and she waited quietly for the adulterous couple on the bed to roll off.
But she never expected that the first person to come down was not the one who walked down, but was thrown off the bed.
It was a naked woman.
