Chapter 428: The Traitor: Bright Moon, Drinking Alone in the Autumn
The little princess giggled and quietly glanced at Tang Ran who was standing not far away. Li Jinyu did not miss her little action. She gently tapped her forehead with her slender white fingers and said unhappily, "You heartless little brat."
Li Jinyu held the little princess in her arms and left without looking back.
Seeing the little princess holding the rabbit lantern and waving at her, Tang Ran's eyes curved slightly, with a tenderness that could make one drown. Like a moth to a flame, three feet of gorgeous blood splashed out.
Tang Ran also quietly left the palace.
I’m afraid it will be even more difficult to see the little princess in the future.
Don't look at Li Jinyu saying that, she is just kidding.
He knew that Li Jinyu hated him very much. He knew that Li Jinyu was proud and stubborn, and had lost all her martial arts skills, but he took advantage of her weakness and forced her to drink medicine. This was a great shame for the princess Li Jinyu.
Tang Ran also felt that women must be careful when looking for a husband and should never look for someone like herself. If they want to find a husband, they should look for men who are willing to respect their wives and are emotionally stable. Especially, they should never believe the words "I'm doing this for your own good."
Those who bully you regardless of your wishes under the banner of doing good for you are simply the most disgusting people in the world.
But Tang Ran had no choice, as his identity was that of a traitor, which made him suitable for committing crimes against his superiors.
This is the reason why he deliberately avoided Li Jinyu many times.
He knew what kind of harm his actions would bring to Li Jinyu, and he also knew that according to Li Jinyu's character, he would rather die than suffer such a great humiliation.
Li Jinyu, lying on the bed, was very confused.
The boy from back then and the Tang Ran of now seemed to be separated, making it difficult for her to tell them apart.
What kind of person is Tang Ran?
Li Jinyu asked herself this. After knowing Tang Ran for more than ten years, she found that she seemed to have never seen him clearly.
Suddenly, a white and tender little hand slapped her on the face, bringing her back to her senses. She looked at the little princess who was sleeping soundly beside her but in an extremely indecent posture with a frown on her face.
She took the hand away and patiently put the little chubby foot back into the quilt.
It was midsummer now, and even at night it was very hot. The little princess, covered with the quilt, felt extremely uncomfortable. After a while, she kicked the quilt aside.
After a while, Li Jinyu gave up.
I don’t know how my sister learned this sleeping position, but it can’t be described as indecent.
No wonder after the Tenth Prince took her to bed for a few days, he would rather go to his mother's palace to sleep than to be alone with the little crybaby.
In the eyes of all the princesses and princes, the Sixteenth Princess, the youngest sister, is crybaby but easy to coax, naive but also pitiful.
It was not until last night that Li Jinyu realized that their little crybaby had grown up.
Although the little crybaby still cries a lot, he has become sensible when they are not around.
The little princess knew that her older brothers and sisters were very busy and had a lot of things to do, and that their health was not very good and they could not overwork themselves, so she kept many things to herself and did not tell her older brothers and sisters for fear of making them angry.
Just like the palace maids and nannies who served her before did not try their best and made up stories about her behind her back, she just found a place to hide and never thought of disturbing her brother and sister with these things.
Because Tang Ran helped her vent her anger and was in great health, the little princess didn't worry about him overworked and was willing to talk to Tang Ran about many of her troubles.
This is of course what the little princess said to Li Jinyu.
Why did she tell Tang Ran? Of course it was because Tang Ran was pretty and kind to her. She never thought her ideas were childish and always encouraged her with a smile, letting her know that she was actually a very great child.
Her sisters would encourage her, but most of the time they would criticize and educate her.
There are always many things hidden in their eyes. They look at me with worry and always tell me that I have to study hard so that I can understand the truth, know etiquette, and protect myself well.
Especially the tenth sister, who always told her: "Little Sixteen is a princess of Northern Qi. Some things are doomed to be beyond your control. Whether it is your father or your brothers and sisters, they cannot accompany you forever. What you need to do is to live hard."
The silly little princess didn't understand, but the tenth princess didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and told her various stories.
It’s not that the little princess didn’t want to learn, but she was always confused when listening to the teacher’s lectures. After a while, she fell asleep on the table.
She was also very distressed and often hit her head, wishing she could knock a hole in her head and stuff all the knowledge into it.
"Xiao Shiliu, tomorrow is your birthday."
Li Jinyu was extremely satisfied as she looked at the little princess whom she had dressed up herself.
She had loved martial arts since she was a child, and was not good at needlework. However, she had always loved dressing up as a man to go out and play, so she had naturally seen many different palaces.
The dress the little princess is wearing was designed by her herself.
Later, the eldest princess Li Limu and the tenth princess Li Wenqing paid for the purchase of Qianyun brocade from Suzhou. This fabric was extremely precious, and the two princesses almost used up all their private money to buy this piece.
The little princess was also very happy, especially when she thought that tomorrow was her birthday, her eyes were full of anticipation.
Since she was born, she has celebrated her birthday every year with her mother, and her brothers and sisters have given her some birthday gifts.
My mother said that only after she was introduced to the clan relatives would she be truly considered my father's child, and her identity as a princess would be recognized by the royal family to the world.
Although the little princess didn't understand, when she saw her mother crying with joy, she knew that this was a good thing.
There hadn't been any happy events in the palace for a long time, and because Tang Ran had made a lot of money recently, some money was secretly spent, so the Sixteenth Princess' birthday was particularly lively this time.
The old emperor seemed indifferent on the surface, but secretly reminded Li Zhong several times that no mistakes could be made at the birthday banquet.
Li Zhong naturally knew that he had run several times without even having a chance to drink water.
On the Sixteenth Princess' birthday, the old emperor held her in his arms for the first time.
It's an amazing feeling.
The little princess felt that she could not express it because she had not been educated enough. Anyway, when her father's beard pricked her little face, she felt very happy. She thought it was sweeter than her favorite chestnut blossom cake, and the smile on her face never disappeared.
She carefully reached out and hugged the old emperor's neck, her eyes wide open, looking at the old emperor's eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and the beard that pricked her little face.
This was the first time she was so close to her father.
The old emperor looked at her lovingly, his eyes slightly moist. When no one was paying attention, he said in a voice that only the little princess could hear: "My little sixteenth, I'm sorry for wronging you."
The little princess didn't understand why the old emperor said that, and just shook her head firmly.
She is not wronged!
Her mother, the queen, and her mother's concubine loved her very much, and her brothers and sisters were also very kind to her.
Now that her father loved her, she felt that she would be willing to go without chestnut cake for a year.
She kissed the old emperor on the face, and her laughter spread far and wide.
The old emperor was in poor health and could not hold the little princess for a while. Li Zhong came up to remind him. The emperor looked at the little princess in his arms and shook his head.
He had less time to spend with Chang'an, so he took this opportunity to hug her more.
When he got there, he couldn't hold her anymore.
The old emperor held the little princess in his arms and released a Kongming lantern, on which he had written in large letters: "Live a long life and be safe."
The little princess gently loosened her hands, and the lamp swayed and floated into the air.
"Chang'an, Chang'an, Daddy's Chang'an, you must grow up safely and live a long life."
The old emperor held her in his arms and watched. At this moment, he was no longer an emperor, but an ordinary father, praying to the gods to protect his little daughter for safety and health.
The little princess also put her hands together and said, "I hope my father, mother, empress, and concubine will be healthy and live a long life, and my brothers and sisters will be happy and safe."
