Chapter 445: The Most Gentle and Thoughtful
Liang Chongyue was too lazy to give Liang Kuan any more face and said directly to Li Jin:
"I broke into the Yikun Palace early this morning. If my Ninth Prince has something important he doesn't want to tell me, then you should go talk to my father. Li Jin, send him out so as not to disturb my mother's rest."
Liang Kuan was naturally unwilling to do so after hearing this. He had been waiting for so many days and finally managed to catch the pigeon. If someone had not secretly hit his hand with a stone, the pigeon would definitely not have been able to escape.
He didn't sleep all night just to wait for the pigeon to fly back. He saw with his own eyes that the pigeon flew towards the Yikun Palace, flew over the Yikun Palace, and then disappeared. It must have landed in the Yikun Palace.
"Fifth Sister, don't be anxious. Are you feeling guilty and rushing to send your younger brother away?"
The more Liang Kuan spoke, the more he felt it made sense. The Northern Territory must have some ulterior motive for wanting Liang Chongyue to marry them.
An ordinary princess would definitely retreat if faced with such a situation, but Liang Chongyue did not refuse and spoke so righteously in front of her father. Perhaps Liang Chongyue had already colluded with the Northern Territory when she was at the border.
It was still unknown who the flying pigeon was looking for. He must catch the pigeon today and expose Liang Chongyue's trick so that his father would understand that women and villains were the only difficult people to raise in this world.
Liang Kuan was about to say something else when a pigeon flew in from somewhere and landed on the wall of Yiku Palace, making a cooing sound, which immediately attracted Liang Kuan's attention.
"Pigeon!"
Liang Kuan cried out in surprise. Seeing the bloodstains on the pigeon from last night's shooting, he looked at Liang Chongyue with a smug look and said with disdain:
"The Fifth Princess will soon understand what is important."
After saying that, Liang Kuan pulled the crossbow and prepared to shoot the pigeon down again. Liang Chongyue kicked the crossbow arrow out of his hand.
"what are you doing?"
Liang Kuan watched the pigeon fly away in fright, and felt a sharp pain in his hand where he was kicked. He looked at Liang Chongyue with anger, wishing he could expose all of this woman's tricks right now.
"Except for my father's imperial guards, no one inside or outside the palace is allowed to shoot pigeons. Don't you even know this, Ninth Prince?"
Liang Chongyue's voice was colder than the wind blowing in the early winter morning. Liang Kuan was stunned by her question. He really didn't know this.
Looking at the crossbow that was kicked away by Liang Chongyue, Liang Kuan felt a little panic in his heart.
"My younger brother wasn't brought up by our father, so naturally he doesn't know as much as my older sister."
People like Liang Kuan, once they feel guilty, start to put themselves in the position of a weaker party, with an attitude of "I am weak, so I am right."
"Really? I remember the general would teach the riding and archery lessons in the palace, but my royal brother didn't take them seriously?"
The emperor usually only asks the tutor how they are doing with their studies. As for riding and archery, apart from a few demonstrations during the autumn hunting, the emperor usually doesn't ask much. He really doesn't remember the general teaching these things.
However, Liang Kuan has always been the most stubborn person in the world. Even if he knows he is in the wrong, he will never admit defeat.
"That's because the general was more attentive in teaching the imperial sister than the imperial brothers. He even told the imperial sister about these things in the palace."
Liang Chongyue felt annoyed when listening to Liang Kuan's unreasonable arguments. She wondered if his scumbag father had given birth to so many useless children who stayed in the palace every day. Would he be as annoyed as she was when he saw them?
"My sister has the Emperor's personal instruction, so my brothers can't compare. But my sister is a woman after all. What's the point of a woman learning so much? In the end, she still has to marry and obey her husband. If she meets a tyrannical husband, the rest of her life won't be smooth sailing."
Liang Kuan was referring to something, namely the Northern Territory Royal Family. Liang Chongyue heard it but didn't care much.
"My brother advises you to change your temper before you get married. After all, men like gentle and considerate women. And you don't have to take the imperial examinations, so why do you lock yourself up in the Yikun Palace and read so many books every day?"
In response to Liang Kuan's verbal provocation, Liang Chongyue simply turned her gaze towards him slightly and looked into his eyes. Seeing his eyes subconsciously avoiding her, she knew that he was a coward and was not even worthy of being her opponent.
"Did Feng promise her to be gentle and considerate?"
Liang Kuan couldn't stand hearing the three words "Feng Da Ying" the most recently. His mother Concubine Xian turned into Feng Da Ying, a corpse in the cold palace overnight. If anyone dared to mention these three words in front of him, he would immediately turn hostile. Even if it was to Liang Chongyue, the fear in his heart just now disappeared.
"My mother is the most gentle woman in this palace. She would never do such a thing as poisoning someone. She must have been framed by a villain."
When Liang Kuan said the word "villain", he emphasized his accent and looked directly at Liang Chongyue, his eyes revealing who this villain was.
"She was so gentle and considerate, how could she die? Did the emperor dislike her and distrust her? Or was she so stupid that she couldn't even assassinate someone, and yet she wanted to help you with your future?"
When Liang Chongyue doesn't want to give someone face, he will naturally poke them where it hurts the most.
Seeing Liang Kuan's face turn red and white, Liang Chongyue covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed lightly and added:
"This generation of princes uses the generation name Cong Chong. Feng promised such a gentle gesture. How come the Ninth Prince is so old and doesn't even use the generation name?"
Liang Chongyue naturally didn't understand why Liang Kuan's name was so special, but there must be a reason for it.
There are many women and children in the harem, but there are few princes like Liang Kuan who are not born with the character "Chong" in their names.
Liang Kuan was ignited twice in one day and was about to explode. The veins on his clenched fists hanging at his sides were bulging, and his jaw angle twitched from time to time. It was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
"You are lying. My mother is not that kind of person. She is the most gentle woman in the palace. What right do you have to say that about her?"
Liang Kuan was so angry that he wanted to attack Liang Chongyue, but was scared back by Liang Chongyue's glare.
Liang Chongyue rarely loses her temper in front of others, and is usually kind and easy to talk to the palace maids, but when she gets angry, blood is always drawn.
Liang Kuan recalled everything he had secretly witnessed outside the gate of the Yangxin Palace yesterday. Liang Chongyue had directly kicked the imperial official to death, and his father did not care at all. He even tacitly allowed Liang Chongyue to let those kneeling ministers serve as dowry and go to the northern border together.
Liang Kuan began to feel guilty and regretted rushing into Yikun Palace without caring about anything else today.
Liang Chongyue is a man who will take revenge on the spot. Now that he has lost his mother, his mother's family is not as important to Liang Chongyue as the Guanglu Doctor whom she kicked to death yesterday.
"Important matters should be discussed with important people. This princess was frightened sick by the poison Feng promised last time, and she hasn't fully recovered yet. Ninth brother, do you still need me to send someone to escort you out?"
Liang Chongyue once again shouted to drive them away, and verbally attacked Liang Kuan twice. Liang Kuan was just a child, and he could not bear such continuous blows. He was afraid and angry, and his eyes turned red and he turned and left.
