Episode 36 of "East Palace": Wen Qin breaks up with the immortal couple, but can't keep Luo Yi after breaking it off (3)

A palace maid told Shi En, "It is now being spread in the East Palace that the Crown Princess even made a wristband for General Pei! Moreover, they often meet and chat privately at night... "

Shi En shouted, "Nonsense!" Everyone present was stunned, and Shi En continued to yell, "What are you talking about? If you keep talking about this, be careful!" After Shi En said this, the maids did not dare to speak.

1. If there are rumors about Pei Zhao and Xiao Feng in the East Palace, they must be spread by Zhao Liangdi. The reason is very simple. She annoyed the prince and was afraid that the prince would go to the princess again, so she wanted to first To drive a wedge between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, the ready-made handle was the "private meeting and chat" between Xiao Feng and Pei Zhao at night that Jin'er accidentally bumped into.

2. Zhao Liangdi should have just released the news that the Crown Princess and Pei Zhao had a "private meeting and chat" in the middle of the night, but because Xiaofeng did not avoid others when he gave Pei Zhao a protective bracelet, many people in the palace were I saw it, so this rumor was exaggerated in the process of spreading. "A private meeting and chatting in the middle of the night" became "often private meeting and chatting at night". Xiaofeng gave Pei Zhao a gift in order to thank him for saving him outside the palace. The protective bracelet he knitted was also rumored to be "given and received in private". Everyone went back further to deduce when Pei Zhao and the Crown Princess met. Even Pei Zhao's words about escorting Xiao Feng to the Central Plains were added. He came in, completely ignoring the fact that the prince was the one who escorted Xiao Feng to the Central Plains, and Pei Zhao was just the prince's bodyguard.

3. Shi En has a good relationship with these little palace ladies, so they are willing to tell Shi En. But after hearing this, Shi En, out of the desire to protect these little palace maids, immediately ordered them not to speak any more, otherwise they would be punished or even beheaded, so no one dared to speak out.

4. Shi En did not allow the maids to spread such rumors, and also wanted to protect the prince's dignity. After all, if the prince was involved with another man, the prince's majesty would be offended, and he was How could the prince of the Toyo dynasty, a person who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, endure this? ! This was also Zhao Liangdi's motive for deliberately spreading such rumors.

The reason why I emphasize this plot is because it mirrors the plot later in which Li Chengyin shot Gu Jian in front of everyone in the East Palace. The fact is that compared to Xiao Feng's safety, Li Chengyin's own dignity is not worth mentioning. Why did Li Chengyin insist on shooting Gu Jian openly? Why do you insist on pressing Xiao Feng's head and ask her to watch it with her own eyes? Why do you also want Xiao Feng to hold Gu Jian's body and cry bitterly in front of all the Yulin Langs? A very important reason is that Li Chengyin was deliberately giving his biggest political rival, the Emperor, some secrecy. He told his father that Xiaofeng was in love with this assassin from Xizhou and could not elope, but I had already killed him, so Xiaofeng broke up with me. Li Chengyin actually let Xiaofeng's words of protecting the assassin in front of the emperor go over the emperor's path. He hoped that his father could let go of the princess who had deceived him and focus all his anger and attention on This happened to him, the prince who sent assassins to pretend to assassinate the emperor.

Because the maids were cleaning, so from the timeline, it should be morning at this time. Li Chengyin had just left the morning court, changed into the prince's regular clothes, and was reading in his study room in the east palace. And because it would take several days for rumors to spread in the East Palace, this day should have been some time away from the day when Zhao Liangdi and Li Chengyin had a falling out and the Queen scolded Xiao Feng for going to appease Zhao Liangdi. .

It is easy to explain that Li Chengyin ignored Zhao Liangdi for several days. But why did he ignore Xiao Feng? Doesn't he like to go to the Cheng'en Palace under various pretexts to see his true love? There is only one explanation, that is, Li Chengyin is very afraid of Xiao Feng. On his birthday, he saw with his own eyes that Xiao Feng's expression was unhesitant, and he even flew out of his mind several times. Xiaofeng scolded Li Chengyin for being a heartless bastard, but he was targeting A'du. Li Chengyin's spy buried in Chengen Palace didn't know about it, so at this time, Li Chengyin thought that Xiaofeng was because of Xu. He was not happy about his mother's pregnancy. He didn't dare to go to Cheng'en Hall to look at Xiaofeng. Wasn't this looking for scolding? !

Shi En came to pour tea for the prince, but all the tea was poured outside. This made Li Chengyin very strange. Li Chengyin asked, "Shi En, why are you absent-minded today?" Shi En hesitated. He said, "Your Highness... Recently... there are people in the palace who are gossiping."

Li Chengyin sneered and continued to pick up the book to read. He said leisurely, "When others are gossiping, you panic. What?" Shi En asked anxiously, "Your Highness, you don't know what they are talking about!"

Shi En's attitude needs to be analyzed. On the one hand, he does not want the rumors to spread to the prince. This caused the maids to be punished; but on the other hand, Shi En was very loyal. He valued the prince's dignity more and felt that he should tell the prince if he heard such rumors.

A detail appears here. When Shi En was pouring tea, the director of photography deliberately placed the tea cup in the same frame as the book the prince opened, telling the audience that what the prince was reading was "Book of Han: Biography of the Western Region".

This "Hanshu: Biography of the Western Region" appeared in the 25th episode. At that time, Li Chengyin had not yet been crowned prince, but King Xuande had been overthrown, and Xiaofeng thought she could After returning to Xizhou, she wrote a letter to her father. While she was waiting for her father to send someone to pick her up, she read the obscure and difficult "Hanshu: Biography of the Western Region" to express her longing for Xizhou. After Li Chengyin finished playing chess with the emperor, he came to Shouren Palace to take a peek at Xiao Feng. He happened to bump into Xiao Feng reading this article loudly, shaking his head and making him sleepy.

So, this is a standard corresponding joke. Just before Shi En came in, when Li Chengyin read this article, he shook his stiff neck. However, he has been studying since he was a child. Okay, not just drowsy. The screenwriter reminded the audience all the time about Li Chengyin's affection for Xiao Feng (Li Chengyin was afraid of Xiao Feng and did not dare to see her, so he could only read the "Book of Han: Biography of the West" that she had read 11 episodes ago. Expressing my love for Xiao Feng), and the fact that Li Chengyin and Xiao Feng are really similar (they both shook their heads in the same way when reading this article).

Li Chengyin continued to read, without raising his head, and said, "Does what they said have anything to do with me? Why should I know?" Li Chengyin didn't care about the world of the servants serving him in the East Palace. He had been accustomed to being arrogant since he was a child because of the rumors that spread around him. He felt that he and the palace servants who served him were basically two different people.

Shi En said in a panic, "It has something to do with you!" Li Chengyin then raised his head and glanced at Shi En. Shi En said anxiously, "They said... the Crown Princess is not good..."

When Li Chengyin heard that it was Xiao Feng's business, of course it had something to do with him, and he immediately ignored it After reading the book, he asked, "What bad things did they say about the Crown Princess?!"

There is a detail here, that is, when Li Chengyin heard that the palace people dared to say bad things about Xiao Feng, he was annoyed He started to stare. Li Chengyin had always had red eyes, and when he heard someone dared to say something bad about his dearest love, his eyes immediately widened.

The reason why Li Chengyin asked, "What bad things do they say about the Crown Princess?" was of course to protect his beloved's reputation. Li Chengyin never took his servants seriously, and he always put Xiao Feng higher than himself. If the servants dared to say bad things about Xiao Feng behind his back, or talk about Xiao Feng's right and wrong, he would definitely deal with it to the end.

Shi En could only tell the truth. He wanted to protect the reputation of the prince, so he continued intermittently, "They... they said... that the princess... was very close to General Pei..."< /p>

When Li Chengyin heard the palace people say something bad about Xiao Feng, he was just a little annoyed and stared. But after hearing that his true love was involved with Pei Zhao, he immediately took a stab at it. He didn't deserve Xiao Feng's affection, but Pei Zhao was even more concerned about Xiao Feng's preference. Li Chengyin was completely angry. He gritted his teeth, glared, and suddenly put away the book in his hand.

The director of photography once again gave a frontal shot of the book in Li Chengyin’s hand. What Li Chengyin was reading was the "Book of Han: Biography of the Western Region" that Xiaofeng had read.

Shi En had been serving Li Chengyin since he was a child. Of course he knew what Li Chengyin looked like when he was angry, so he quickly knelt down and confessed, "Your Highness, calm down!"

Li Chengyin He said angrily, "Who did you hear this from?!" Li Chengyin subconsciously felt that someone wanted to harm Xiao Feng, so he pressed Shi En on the origin of his words.

Of course Shi En wanted to protect the palace maid with whom he got along well. He quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "No one! No one! It was Shi En who was talking nonsense, Shi En was talking nonsense himself!"

After hearing Shi En say that he was talking nonsense, Li Chengyin fell into deep thought. Of course, Li Chengyin didn't believe Shi En's words, because Shi En had clearly said before that it was someone else's fault, because he remembered that Shi En had told him that he had a good relationship with the little maids in the palace, and they would not worry about anything. I am willing to tell Shi En, so it is absolutely impossible that this is what Shi En said himself, it is just a rumor in the East Palace.

But at the same time, Li Chengyin also immediately figured out that even if someone wanted this rumor to spread to my ears to harm Xiaofeng, even if the person who had the most motive to harm Xiaofeng was Zhao Liangdi, Zhao Liangdi Always smart, she would not leave any clues in the hands of others. He could not trace the origin of this rumor, so he could only let the person who harmed Xiaofeng go. So, with a livid face, Li Chengyin said, "I understand, let's get down."

Shi En responded in a panic, stood up again, and was about to retreat, when Shi En saw his The master was so angry that his face changed, and he asked again, "Your Highness, you won't go to the Crown Princess to quarrel, will you?" Shi En wondered if the Crown Prince was so angry that he would go to Cheng'en Palace again to find the Crown Prince. Concubine, are you quarreling? They quarreled so much that it was no surprise.

When Li Chengyin heard these words, he immediately raised his head and glared at him. He was so frightened that he said "Shi En, please retire" and ran out quickly. Even though Shi En has been serving Li Chengyin since childhood, he also has a heartfelt fear of Li Chengyin.

Perhaps, there is only one Xiao Feng in the world who is not afraid of Li Cheng Yin. This is the result of Li Cheng Yin's deliberate creation. But at the end of the story, Xiao Feng goes crazy because Xiao Feng may leave him forever. Li Chengyin was completely destroyed.

However, Shi En's words reminded Li Chengyin, and he fell into deep thought again - by the way, those who spread such rumors not only wanted to destroy Xiaofeng's reputation, but also wanted to provoke My relationship with Xiaofeng. Therefore, Li Chengyin immediately calmed down the anger in his heart a little bit, I will not be fooled by that person!

Li Chengyin picked up the book again and continued to read the "Book of Han: Biography of the Western Region". However, this rumor really hurt Li Chengyin. He was completely annoyed. No longer reading, he was so angry that he suddenly threw the book in his hand on the desk.

What was Li Chengyin thinking at this time? He refused to be fooled by the person who spread the rumors and went to question the Crown Princess. In addition, Xiao Feng and Pei Zhao were indeed close, and Li Chengyin had already determined that Xiao Feng did prefer Pei Zhao. , otherwise, she who doesn’t know how to act shouldn’t have just glared at Xu Niang hatefully for a few times after knowing that she was pregnant, and would only occasionally have a moment of excitement. She should be like Zhao Liangdi and couldn’t hold back her crying, and even hit him. Just come to your door. Li Chengyin would think, if Pei Zhao gets involved with another woman, can Xiaofeng endure it? (Later, Li Chengyin asked his father to grant Pei Zhao a marriage, and even went to peek at Xiaofeng's reaction, which was the foreshadowing.)

Li Chengyin and Sesu are the same. After thinking that he had clearly recognized who his true love preferred, he refused to admit the truth at all, for fear of pushing his true love further away. In addition, because of this recognition, Li Chengyin's inner insecurity reached its peak, so he decided to The opposite was true - the people who spread the rumors wanted me to break up with the Crown Princess, but I wanted to get close to the Crown Princess. Therefore, Li Chengyin's idea of ??sleeping in Cheng'en Palace was formed at the right time.

However, Li Chengyin is also very afraid of Xiaofeng, not only because he is afraid that Xiaofeng will be angry with him because of Xu Niang’s pregnancy, but also because Li Chengyin has always regarded Xiaofeng as his biological mother. He admires Xiaofeng enough and worships Xiaofeng. He knows that Xiaofeng is not allowed to touch him. If he goes to Cheng'en Palace, he may be kicked out by Xiaofeng like he did on his wedding night. So after some thought, Li Chengyin determined the two principles for him to go to Cheng'en Palace to sleep for a night: 1. He is shameless and refuses to leave, and wants to make a scene known to everyone; 2. He will not coerce him. Xiaofeng, he will calm Xiaofeng's heart. I just want to sleep with you for a night, nothing else.

As night falls, Xiaofeng has taken off her makeup, loosened her hair, and is playing leaf cards with A'Du. However, in the Cheng'en Hall, there is no one around Xiaofeng except A'Du, and Yong Niang is also there. The absence meant that Xiao Feng had asked the maids who were waiting for her to go down to rest. She planned to play cards with A'Du for a while before falling asleep.

Details appear here. 1. The dress Xiaofeng is wearing is the dress Xiaofeng wore when he and Li Chengyin went to the crab banquet together. It represents that Xiaofeng and Li Chengyin at this time still continued the sweetness after the crab banquet. ; Later, when Xiaofeng deliberately stunned Li Chengyin and escaped from the East Palace, he wore this dress, which echoes the plot at the end of the story.

2. Next to A'Du is a square table with various snacks. This is A'du's usual appearance in the East Palace. She has been eating snacks. On the other hand, Xiaofeng, after marrying Li Chengyin , but she didn’t eat or drink much anymore. It was very different from when she lived in Lanyue Pavilion. She had really grown up. Later, Li Chengyin had a high fever and fainted. Yong Niang came to Xiaofeng and told her to go and see Li Chengyin. Adu still didn't take Li Chengyin to heart at all and kept eating.

A'Du is so smart, so naturally Xiaofeng can't win in a card game with her. She started to calculate the cards with a frown on her face, but at this moment, Li Chengyin walked in in a hurry.

Li Chengyin originally ran straight towards Xiao Feng's bedroom, but halfway through, he heard Xiao Feng's voice and immediately stopped. Xiao Feng also heard the footsteps and turned around. He turned around to see who had come in.

The director of photography gave Li Chengyin a frontal shot, and the audience can clearly see Li Chengyin's face. He is just a child, looking at his biological mother with no sexual desire.

The detail here is that Li Chengyin changed clothes again. He changed out of the beige prince's uniform that he was wearing when he threw the book and put on a dark green prince's uniform embroidered with gold thread pine branches. , this of course means that after Li Chengyin got angry because of the rumors about Pei Zhao and Xiao Feng, he hesitated for at least one day before coming to Cheng'en Palace. Because he was really afraid of Xiaofeng, he was afraid that Xiaofeng would be angry with him because of Xu Niang's matter, and he was even more afraid that Xiaofeng would refuse to cooperate and drive him out of Cheng'en Hall.

However, even though Li Chengyin was so scared, he still came. In Li Chengyin's eyes, regarding Xu Niang, if he extended his head, it would be a knife, and if he retracted, he would be a knife. It is better to take the initiative to ask When asked about Xiao Feng's attitude, he explained it to himself; as for the situation where Xiao Feng kicked him out of Cheng'en Hall again, he had already planned how to deal with it.

Xiaofeng felt strange when she saw that the person who came in was Li Chengyin. She asked, "Li Chengyin?" When Adu saw that it was Li Chengyin coming, he immediately thought that Li Chengyin was coming again. Wanting to bully the princess, Xiao Feng suddenly ran away. Xiao Feng glanced at A'Du, who was on guard, and asked, "Why are you here so late?"

This was Li Cheng Yin's plan. The first condition for him to be able to stay overnight in Cheng'en Hall was that he first knew from Cheng'en Hall's informant what time Xiao Feng usually went to bed, and then specially selected a time when Xiao Feng was about to go to bed to catch Xiao Feng off guard. ——I don’t ask to eat with you, lest you kick me out again, I’m just here to sleep with you.

Li Chengyin was afraid that he would be kicked out by Xiao Feng, so of course he had to walk to Xiao Feng first, so he looked leisurely and peaceful, and slowly walked to Xiao Feng and A'Du to beat the leaves. The card room came.

Here are the details. When Li Chengyin walked in, he looked calm and composed on the surface, but in fact he was very nervous inside. The expression was that he pursed his lips tightly and spoke softly. He frowned - he was afraid that Xiaofeng would immediately be furious with him after knowing why he came.

The lens language in this section is also very interesting. The director of photography placed Li Chengyin in the same frame as the bed in Xiaofeng's dormitory. Moreover, the director of photography deliberately fixed the camera lens to allow Li Chengyin, this athletic figure, to stand in the same frame. The scene moves slowly across the screen, giving the audience a unique feeling of a ship entering a deep harbor.

There is a lyric in "Love", "The ship passes by the airport and feeds the loneliness, and the frost in the wilderness sheds tears." In my eyes, this sentence describes Li Chengyin's state of mind. Li Chengyin has always regarded the Cheng'en Palace where Xiaofeng is as the harbor of his love. This small boat sailing in the stormy waves can, after overcoming all the twists and turns, return to the place where Xiaofeng gave him the same love as his biological mother. In the arms, rest quietly. As long as I have you, I have nothing to fear, and I am willing to fight for everything in this world for you.

However, Xiaofeng died. For Li Chengyin, Cheng'en Palace became an airport of love. His little boat rode the wind and waves and returned home with great honors. What greeted me was only eternal support. I remember my loneliness; in the vast wilderness of Xizhou, with frost and cold weather, and scattered grass and trees, these are the clear tears flowing down my face after the uncertainty of life and death between you and me!

When A'Du saw Li Chengyin walking in, she quickly stood in front of the princess. She was afraid that Li Chengyin would do something to the princess again. Xiaofeng also pouted aggrievedly, stood up, and asked, "Aren't you here to quarrel with me again, are you?"

In Xiaofeng's eyes, this is the point, Li Cheng When Yin comes back, he always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, and there must be no good things happening when he comes. Maybe he will not let me go after dark and insists on having a big quarrel with me like he did during the last Buddha Bathing Festival. , Xiaofeng asked this question.

Xiaofeng was still a little aggrieved at this time, because she had just been scolded by the queen! The queen asked her to comfort the crying Zhao Liangdi. Although Xiaofeng did not go to comfort Zhao Liangdi, Zhao Liangdi stopped crying and making trouble. However, as long as Zhao Liangdi was wronged (being grounded on the second day of the wedding and forced to kneel to pray on the Buddha Bathing Day), The prince would come to my door and have a big quarrel with me. Xiaofeng immediately used Zhao Liangdi's situation as a basis to figure out the purpose of Li Chengyin's coming - you must have come to quarrel with me, but it was you who provoked her. I didn't harm her, I was wronged!

Li Chengyin started to act rogue. He was enlightened and said lazily, "I'm not here to quarrel with you, I'm here to sleep with you!"

This is Li Chengyin Cheng Yin had already planned the second condition for him to stay overnight in Cheng'en Hall - he was shameless and wanted to pester Xiao Feng's attitude. Moreover, judging from the frontal shot when Li Chengyin said the line "I came to sleep with you", Li Chengyin really showed his elementary school chicken nature - I will do this, you What can you do to me?

So, this is a standard corresponding plot, which corresponds to Xiao Feng being dragged into the hot spring pool by Li Cheng Yin. Xiao Feng said to Li Cheng Yin in a sullen tone, "I won't leave yet, you What can you do to me?" plot.

There is another detail here. At this time, Li Chengyin still had no sexual desire. He was just a child. He had to sleep with his biological mother for one night. I just didn’t want to sleep alone. You can't ignore me!

Xiaofeng originally thought that Li Chengyin would be up to no good, but when she heard what Li Chengyin said, she was stunned. She widened her deer-like eyes and looked at Li Chengyin in confusion. Cheng Yin——This, this, this, what do you mean?

A'Du reacted faster. She immediately opened her arms and blocked the princess behind her like an old hen protecting her chicks. A'Du subconsciously felt that Li Chengyin wanted to bully the princess. You are a grown man and you have so many concubines. You have nowhere to go. Why did you go to Cheng'en Palace to cause trouble for the princess? The princess has a noble status, and if she doesn't want to, she just won't!

As soon as Adu stopped him, Li Chengyin immediately realized that if he wanted to sleep next to Xiaofeng for a night, he had to climb the mountain of Adu first, so Li Chengyin looked disgusted on the surface. , but in fact, he was still sullen, and ordered A'du, "You have nothing to do here, get out.

”

A’Du will immediately pull out the golden knife she has been wearing and use force with Li Chengyin. What do you want to do to the princess? You must first ask me about the golden knife in my hand. No answer!

Seeing A'Du's fierce reaction, Li Chengyin immediately continued to play off his shameless nature and said shamelessly, "What's wrong with the prince sleeping in the prince's palace? ! ”

This is the third condition that Li Chengyin had planned long ago for him to stay in Chengen Palace. He emphasized that I am the prince and Xiaofeng is the princess. We are a legitimate couple. What's wrong with me sleeping here? You are the Crown Princess's maid, but you can't stop me, the Crown Prince.
