III Jiangshan

"Mother and concubine, there is still one thing I don't know about my child." Yuan Youqi said.

"What's the matter? Let's hear it." Wei Xianfei said.

But she thought to herself, you don't mean to ask me who is that Taoist nun?This, I can't tell you!

Yuan Youqi didn't mean to embarrass her, but asked: "The child is very curious, why was the child brought up by the mother and concubine?"

She was afraid that Concubine Wei Xian would be overwhelmed, so she hurriedly said: "I don't mean anything else, I just think it's weird. There were already several concubines in the harem at that time, right? Since Hai'er was regarded as a prince, and his background was like this, could it be that he Are you not afraid that those shady things will be leaked out one day? After all, mother concubine, your surname is Wei..."

This "he" naturally refers to Emperor Wei.

After hearing Yuan Youqi's words, Concubine Wei Xian was not upset, but rather relieved.

If the child only knows how to listen but doesn't know how to ask, then he can be regarded as obedient at best.Now that the child can think of these things, it shows that she not only listens attentively, but also is intelligent and knows how to use her brain.

Right now the mother and daughter are talking about everything, as long as it doesn't involve Gu Heng, Concubine Wei Xian doesn't feel any taboo.

She then smiled and replied: "You can think of this, and the concubine mother feels very relieved. In fact, there were indeed several concubines who had no children in the palace at that time. According to the thinking of ordinary people, I found someone who had nothing to do with you at that time. A foster mother with no background, this is the most appropriate."

Yuan Youqi listened carefully to Concubine Wei Xian's analysis.

Concubine Wei Xian said again: "But what the faint-hearted gentleman thinks is very unpredictable. According to the analysis of the mother and concubine later, there must be at least two reasons for this. First, he is still worried about the Gu family, especially the Wei family. Although Hou Yongyi had passed away at that time, your grandfather quietly ordered you... Uncle Wei Zhouyang pretended to be revenge for his younger brother, and bloodbathed the Ule envoy in the posthouse, so as to confuse the public and make the stupid king think that the Wei family did not know The inside story is that your grandfather is a fool, and your uncle is just a warrior. Later, your uncle was transferred to northern Xinjiang to deal with the Ule people. This is one of the temptations of the Hunjun. The Hunjun brought you to me to raise you , This is his second temptation. He wants to observe my attitude and the attitude of the Wei family through this incident. If we are a little bit out of the ordinary, the Wei family will be in danger, and your life may be too. Worrying."

Yuan Youqi listened, imagining what the concubine mother and the Wei family were facing at that time, and felt terrified.

She grew up in Tian's family since she was a child, and now she is the prince. She knows very well that as an emperor, the relationship between husband and wife is nothing in front of Jiangshan Sheji!

"There's another thing?" Yuan Youqi asked again.

"That's right," Concubine Wei Xian nodded, "The second is...you."

"Me?" Yuan Youqi was stunned.

"You are the Great Luo Jinxian descending to earth!" Concubine Wei Xian said helplessly.

"..." Yuan Youqi was speechless, and thought to himself, is this a reason?

"Don't underestimate such nonsense, that foolish monarch just believes it. Otherwise, even if Yuan Chengyin was at fault, how could you sit in the position of prince so smoothly?" Wei Xianfei said.

Yuan Youqi was stunned, and secretly thought that the one he should be most grateful to was the Taoist nun who delivered his baby back then, right?

Concubine Wei Xian did not allow her to continue thinking, and said solemnly: "At that time, the crown prince had the Ding family as his backing, especially Ding Feng, the patriarch of the Ding family, was a diehard loyalist of the crown prince's family; the birth mother of the third son was also from the Ding family; Behind the son is the Li family. Concubine Li De raised the prince from an early age, and his love is as close as a mother and son; behind the emperor's seventh son is the Zhao family. From this point of view, only you, the youngest prince, have the least background to rely on."

"The Hunjun has coveted your biological mother for many years, so it's natural to treat her child differently. Besides, when you were born, your eyes were exactly the same as your biological mother's, and your facial features were very similar to that Hunjun. How could he not look at you every time he looked at you?" care?"

Yuan Youqi listened to Concubine Wei Xian's analysis, nodded silently in his heart, and said to himself: There is also the Taoist nun's so-called "Da Luo Jinxian descends to earth", and "he is the most anticipated prince".

Hey!She really wanted to know more and more who this Taoist nun was.

Concubine Wei Xian said again: "No matter how much the Wei family is feared, it is also a family of military generals for several generations. It is not just to follow the century-old foundation laid by the previous emperors. In terms of the real family of military generals in the Great Wei, apart from the Wei family and the Qi family, everyone You can't find a third family. The Hunjun entrusted you to your mother and concubine to raise you. Your maternal ancestor's family is the Wei family. With this kind of support, when you grow up in the future, the Wei family will open the way for you to stand in the corner , you will be well protected by the Wei family when you retire. No matter which aspect you look at, you will be safe and sound, and you will have few worries in your life."

Listening to these words, Yuan Youqi was already bewildered——

Putting aside the feud between the mother and everything related to the family, the country, the country, the suspicion and calculations, the person who is her father by blood has really considered her very carefully since she was born .

No wonder!

Yuan Youqi sighed, no wonder the concubine mother didn't let her get involved in the matter of revenge.Otherwise, her situation would be too embarrassing.

Even if she killed her biological father herself as she wished and avenged her mother, she would be charged with "father killing" for the rest of her life, and she would never be able to get out of that shadow.

When Yuan Youqi left Fengyi Palace, it was already dark, except for the guards on duty who occasionally passed by and saw her salute to her, he hardly met anyone.

Therefore, almost no one noticed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was clearly following Tang Xi, but he was holding a wooden box one and a half feet square tightly like a baby.

Tang Xi followed closely behind Yuan Youqi, and whenever he saw someone passing by, he felt like he was on his back.

As a personal servant, he let his master carry and look at such a heavy thing. This is simply disrespectful!

If the steward in charge of the Criminal Division saw this, wouldn't he drag him to interrogation?Tang Xi silently wiped off a drop of cold sweat from his forehead.

The conscience of heaven and earth!He is really not disrespectful to the master!It was this little ancestor, he was not allowed to touch the wooden box at all.

I don't know what kind of treasure is in that wooden box...

As soon as this thought crossed Tang Xi's mind, he shook his head vigorously, quickly making this terrible thought disappear.

The less you know, the more secure your head will be on your neck!Tang Xi told himself in his heart, so he continued to follow behind Yuan Youqi with a low eyebrow.

Yuan Youqi's footsteps were fast, and his mind didn't stop spinning along the way.

【Baoxiang, you have to remember that concubine mother is the only person in this world who won't harm you. 】

[The Tian family has always been like this, and the succession of children is the greatest guarantee for an heir. 】

【Rou'er is a good girl, you have to treat her well! 】

Concubine Wei Xian's words were still ringing in her ears, dispelling most of Yuan Youqi's agitated emotions when she just learned about her biological mother's past.

She admitted that the concubine mother often thinks about herself, or in other words, all the concubine mother's considerations are based on what the concubine mother thinks is for her own good.

However, it is undeniable that the concubine mother has been a concubine in the palace for too long after all, and has been contaminated too much by the vulgarity of the harem.Yuan Youqi didn't feel at all that for an heir of the Tian family, inheritance is the most important thing.

The world belongs to the people of the world, as long as they are virtuous people who can seek the greatest benefits for the people of the world, what does it matter who sits on the dragon chair?

Thinking of this, the words "The world is for the public" jumped into Yuan Youqi's mind.

She couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Gu Heng never looked down on the "Book of Rites", and ridiculed it as "a stuff of rotten scholars to deceive the world", but he only admired a sentence in the "Book of Rites", which is this sentence: "The journey of the great way, the world is for the public" .

It is said that the ancient kings never passed on the throne to their descendants, but chose people with high prestige and outstanding ability as their successors according to their virtues, which was for abdication.

However, later on, after Xia Qi, the world changed, and the position would only be passed on to one's own children and grandchildren, no matter whether the successor or the assistant's subordinates, no one really cared about whether the person who was passed on was really worthy or not.

Yuan Youqi sighed deeply, Gu Heng taught her too much, not just the simple principles of life?

Thinking of Gu Heng, an hour ago, the charming breath on Gu Heng's chest is still in front of his eyes.Yuan Youqi blushed so hopelessly.

Fortunately, the night was dark and no one saw her glowing red face.

That flower is really beautiful...

Yuan Youqi thought foolishly, and couldn't help clenching the handle of the wooden box in his hand.

She suddenly realized something, and stopped suddenly.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Tang Xi asked curiously.

Yuan Youqi didn't say anything, but stood where he was, and touched his waist with his other free hand.There is the royal blue purse that she hangs on her belt every day, embroidered by Gu Heng himself.

The silky material is just like Gu Heng's silky and delicate skin...

Yuan Youqi suddenly widened his eyes——

She got it!

She knows how to verify the thing that bothers her the most right now!

The moon hangs in the sky, and the night wind is cool.

Yan Lai Palace is comfortable and warm.

In the dormitory, Gu Heng closed the brocade quilt covering his body again, confused that he felt cold in such a cool weather.

Since she was born as Gu Heng, she has been short of Qi, and her health has become worse and worse as she got older.This is all within her expectation, after all, she only has 18 years to live in this life.

Later, half begging and half coaxing, she let her junior sister Yuanling Daoist practice the method of burning the life essence for her, condensing the remaining two years of life into half a year of healthy people like ordinary people.From then on, Gu Heng thought that before she died, she would not suffer any more frailty and sickness.

However, less than two months have passed, and this body seems to be declining again. Is there something wrong?

If I can't survive that stupid king's death, then all the past actions will be in vain!

Gu Heng suddenly felt heart palpitations.

She thought of the soul seal left by her master on her chest, which was given by that little careless Yuan Youqi today...

Gu Heng's body trembled, feeling that something was wrong——

That fuchsia symbolizes the existence of Master, and being treated like that by that little careless person is simply disrespectful to Master!

Apart from his grandmother and father, the only person Gu Heng admired and loved in his life was his master.Thinking of Master, Gu Heng felt even more uneasy.

She hastily waved away the maids serving in the bedroom, and ordered them to close the door of the bedroom.

These maids are all under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Palace, and according to Yuan Youqi's instructions, only Gu Heng is the one to follow.Gu Heng ordered them to retreat, and they obediently retreated outside the hall, waiting for Gu Heng to order again.

Gu Heng was the only one left in the huge dormitory.

Sitting on the couch, she took a deep breath, and carefully opened the left half of her pajamas with the help of the bright lights in the hall.

Just when most of her shoulders were exposed, Gu Heng felt a dark shadow flicker in front of her eyes, and a person had quickly come to her bedside.

The bed curtain was pulled down very quickly, separating the inside and the outside of the couch into two worlds.

"what--"

Gu Heng's exclamation only went out for a little while before someone covered his mouth.

"It's me!" Yuan Youqi's breath immediately burned Gu Heng's ears red.

The author has something to say: Xiao Gu has a great influence on Xiao Yuan. It can be said that because of Xiao Gu, the trajectory of Xiao Yuan's life has changed.

That's right, from birth to growing up to growing old together, it is Xiao Gu's third life, Xiao Yuan's life.

Among them, the biggest bond between the two is Jiangshan Sheji.

Ah so, am I paraphrasing the title?
