- Chapter 293 Mentality
The eldest princess's face kept changing. She was silent for a while and said, "Do you want to tell me to cherish what I have now? If I continue to mess around, if one day my father no longer loves me, he will take me away casually. Is it right to get married? At that time, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t send someone to check the man¡¯s details first, right?¡±
Fang Jie quickly shook his head and said: "Of course Your Majesty will not be really bored. I can feel His Majesty's love for you. I just used a metaphor just now, but I didn't actually mean it. I just thought, Your Highness, you feel pitiful." At this time, most children in the world are actually more pitiful than you."
"how come?"
The eldest princess said: "You said just now that children from ordinary families can throw themselves into their mother's arms and act like a spoiled child, waiting to ride on their father's shoulders for fun. But I have forgotten what my mother looks like. As for my father, even more so We haven't been close to each other for a long time. You said that most children in the world are more pitiful than me, but I don't think Although ordinary families are poorer, their children can see their parents every day, and they can act coquettishly, play tricks, and cry. Noisy."
¡°Your Highness, that¡¯s because you don¡¯t understand ordinary people.¡±
Fang Jie said seriously: "When you envy them, they are envying you ten times a hundred times. Children of ordinary families have to work in the fields when they are very young. How can parents have so much time to love their children in order to make a living? ? They go out early and come back late, with blood blisters on their hands and feet, just to make ends meet. And the children have to learn to take care of themselves at a very young age, wash their own clothes and cook."
"They will treat the things your Highness doesn't like to eat as delicacies. The clothes your Highness doesn't like to wear, they will treat them as neon clothes. The toys your Highness doesn't like, they will treat them as treasures."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Your Highness envies that they can be with their parents all day long, but they are envious of His carefree life. It is true that they spend more time with their parents, which is worthy of envy." . But Your Highness, you have much more than them Your Highness, you said that you have forgotten what Queen Daxing looks like, but I can¡¯t even imagine what my mother should look like.¡±
"well¡¡"
The eldest princess let out a long sigh: "It turns out that this world is full of unhappiness."
"Your Highness is wrong again."
Fang explained: "There is still more happiness in this world."
"Your Highness feels unhappy because what I just said is pitiful. But think about it, Your Highness, if the children are not happy, then what are the parents fighting for? As parents, who are not here for their children? Struggle? Maybe they neglect their children, not to give them a better life? But happiness is actually very simpleas long as you reduce your greed, you will be much happier."
"His Highness just said that in order to see His Majesty more often, he would not hesitate to get into trouble I think this is indeed a good idea. However, this method cannot last long, because if it lasts for a long time, His Majesty will think that you will always be an ignorant child. ¡±
¡°You mean, I can¡¯t do that again?¡±
The eldest princess asked: "But how can I ask my father to spend more time with me?"
"First try to understand His Majesty's tiredness The Sui Dynasty was so big, with tens of thousands of people, and millions of territories. How hard did Your Majesty have to work every day to take care of such a large family business? If His Majesty can understand this, he can I appreciate His Majesty's hard work. Then as a daughter, if your father is tired, you should be nicer, hand him a cup of tea, rub his shoulders and hit his back I think it should make people feel better. "
"It turns out you are a good person."
The eldest princess glanced at Fang Jie, took a deep breath and said, "No one will talk to me about such a thing."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Because Your Highness, you make people feel the distance."
"distance?"
The eldest princess doesn¡¯t understand.
Fang Jie said: "Because Your Highness is always losing your temper, both the servants and your friends will be afraid They are afraid that they will accidentally offend His Highness and cause disaster. This is distance. , the distance that makes feelings become weak. In fact, the reason why Your Highness feels lonely is because you lack friends Your Majesty is indeed too busy, but if Your Highness can make some friends, you will experience another kind of happiness. "
"friend?"
The eldest princess shook her head: "I have no friends."
Fang explained: "That's because His Highness has isolated himself at a high place."
"Shut up!"
The eldest princess glared at Fang Jie and said angrily: "Don't think that just because I said you are a good person, you are qualified to criticize my life.Are you showing off that you have friends? If you say one more thing, I will have your tongue pulled out! "
Fang Jie was startled, thinking that His Highness would fall out of favor faster than turning the pages of a book. One second ago, he could chat calmly, and the next second, he seemed to be a different person. He was stunned for a moment, then simply closed his mouth and took a step back, saying no more words. The two fell into silence, and the atmosphere immediately became a little cold.
Seeing the solution, the eldest princess stopped talking and became even more angry: "Do you feel that talking to me is embarrassing for you?"
"I still want my tongue."
Fang Jie said seriously: "Just now, His Highness said that if I don't shut up, he will pull out my tongue. Has Your Highness ever seen a tongue pulled out? I have seen it When we were in the border town, we caught the Meng Yuan spies who were lurking in the city and interrogated them. After that, the person's tongue will be pulled out. The mouth will be opened with iron pliers, then the clamp will be inserted into the mouth, and the tongue will be clamped. The person behind will hold the spy's head, and the person in front will pull it out Sometimes the whole tongue can be pulled out, and sometimes it can be severed."
"The blood spurted out like a waterfall. Your Highness may not know that the blood that just spurted out was warm and had a fishy smell. In addition to the fishy smell, the blood also has a little sweetness and is thicker than water. Many people have their tongues pulled out, and the blood flowing out of their mouths flows down their jaws, quickly soaking the front of their clothes. People who have no tongues often have two consequences. One is excessive bleeding. Died. Secondly, he was lucky enough to become mute."
"enough!"
The eldest princess covered her ears hard: "I don't want to hear it anymore."
Fang Jie sighed: "I just want to tell your highness that a person's tongue is not a gecko's tail. It can grow back if you pull it out You are your highness the princess. Sometimes a person's fate can be decided by just one sentence. You said let's Pulling out other people's tongues may be just a word to scare people, but the guards don't think so. The next time you see this person, he will open his mouth with a bloody black hole and no tongue. What will Your Highness think when I say hello?"
"ah!"
The eldest princess shouted, her face as white as paper: "Please don't say any more."
Fang Jie looked at the eldest princess expressionlessly, and after a moment of silence he said: "Your Highness, you just saw too little. You know that pulling out your tongue is a terrible thing, so you will use this thing To scare people, but you don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on. You are complaining that you don¡¯t get much fatherly love, but have you ever thought about it You have three sisters and three other princesses. , I can¡¯t see His Majesty for a whole year.¡±
Hearing these words, the eldest princess suddenly raised her head and opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Fang Jie said: "Your Highness, maybe you think so, because the status of the other three princesses is not as noble as yours, so it is natural for Your Majesty to be more indifferent to them. But how do you know, Your Highness, whether they are suffering in their hearts? What I said today The words have gone beyond the rules. But every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart. If I want to make the princess happy at this moment, I can at least tell a joke for an hour, but what about after the joke?"
"Let Your Highness see the suffering of others, and then think about your own suffering, it really doesn't matter."
Fang Jie thought for a moment and said, "I dare you to ask His Highness to leave the palace for a walk."
"Leaving the palace?"
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Where are you going?"
"Just take a walk."

Vegetable market
The old lame man led Fang Jie to find the ten vegetable markets outside the palace that housed elite service personnel.
Fang Jie walked in front, and the eldest princess, who had changed into ordinary clothes, followed closely behind. She looked at this dirty and chaotic place curiously, with surprise in her eyes. Her beautiful boots stepped on the dirty ground and soon they became very dirty. She carefully avoided passing pedestrians, fearing to dirty her clothes.
The two maids following her covered their noses, as if they couldn't stand the stench of this place.
The last time Fang Jie came here was in the middle of winter, and the dirty water on the ground was frozen. But now that the weather has warmed up, the place looks increasingly dirty.
"Chang'an Cityhow can there be a place like this?"
She couldn't help but ask.
"There are many places like this in Chang'an City."
Fang Jie said as he walked: "In the lives of ordinary people, where can there be so much silk, gold, silver and jewelry? Your Highness, a box of rouge is enough for an ordinary family to spend a month or even several months. Degree. Look the fish seller, he once had two children, one of whom died of smallpox.??The second child finally reached the age of ten, but he was too weak due to premature birth and had no money to buy ginseng supplements. He died after an illness when he was ten years old. "
"The salesman's wife was in poor health and could not get pregnant. But in order to continue his incense, she still had a child. As a result, she died during childbirth, but the child was saved. Therefore, the salesman tied the child to himself every day When they are hungry, they feed them some rice cereal, and when they are sleepy, they sleep in the basket. The child and his father are together all the time, despite the wind, sun, freezing rain, and so on. But are they happy? "
At this time, the cry of a child was heard in the distance. The eldest princess looked in the direction of the sound, only to find a skinny, middle-aged man in fairly well-dressed clothes slapping a child hard. The child was only six or seven years old, and soon his little face became red and swollen from being slapped.
The child who was beaten cried and shouted: "I never dare to ask for food again. Grandpa, please, don't hit me again."
Next to him, there was a boy who looked even younger, wearing beautiful new clothes, holding a candied haws in his hand and smiling proudly as he ate it.
A rather pretty woman knelt on the ground and begged the middle-aged man to stop beating her. Her shoulders twitched violently, looking so helpless.
"Why did that child offend him? He was so vicious!"
The eldest princess asked through gritted teeth.
Fang Jie shook his head: "That's his child too. That man is the owner of this vegetable market. This land belongs to him. The vendors have to pay him money to set up stalls here. The children who eat candied haws and the children who are beaten are both It belongs to him, but the difference is that the little boy eating the candied haws is the child of his first wife, while the little girl who was beaten is the child of a concubine. The one kneeling on the ground begging for mercy is his concubine, the child's mother. "
"ah!"
The eldest princess exclaimed, her face becoming particularly ugly.
"Your Highness, do you think that child is pitiful?"
Fang explained the question.
"Why didn't the woman resist?"
"Because he is a concubine."
Fang Jie said: "The child is also the boss's flesh and blood, and his biological son. But in his eyes, there is no difference from a slave. If the concubine gave birth to a son, then when he grows up, he will not inherit one from him. The property of copper coins may be ruined by your biological father when you grow up."
"Whywhy is this happening?"
The eldest princess murmured, her eyes full of sadness.
¡°There is nothing fair in this world.¡±
Fang Jie said calmly: "It just depends on how you look at it." - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
