The male concubine of the violent son
Chapter 33 Go, Sailor Moon
——Beicheng can't go back, and staying in it will only make Yu'er homesick, so it's better to burn it and stop thinking about it.
Shang Rong rubbed the small piece of paper with his thumb and index finger.
The little piece of paper was quickly rubbed away by him without a trace.
Have you lost your mind?
What did you think?
Is it the thought of staying and flying away with my cousin?
Ran Qinggu saw Shang Rong and his eyes burst into a cold light, when he raised his eyebrows and looked at him, he looked like a beast that had been robbed of its prey, its sharp teeth were biting.
He didn't understand where he had provoked this person again.
Shang Rongyu sneered: "Stop thinking about it, Shi Zifei, you'd better stop thinking about what you shouldn't."
Ran Qinggu: "..."
Why is it so strange?Could it be that Shang Rong and found something?
Could it be that Shang Rongyu sent the first batch of people to investigate?
On weekdays, the wounds on his hands were covered up with powder and long-sleeved jade bracelets, and he never showed them, and no one would notice his wrists...
Only Shang Rong and lay with him day and night.
Ran Qinggu suddenly remembered that day when Shang Rongyu forced him to change clothes in front of him.
Could it be that something was discovered that day?
Shang Rongyu walked to the bed and spread his hands: "Come here, change clothes."
Ran Qinggu walked over, reached out and slowly untied Shang Rongyu's belt.
Shang Rongyu suddenly pressed Ran Qinggu's hand: "Concubine Shizi, I have made too many enemies, in case someone takes revenge on you, Concubine Shizi, next time the family letter should be sent to me first. I will give it to you after I have checked the letter from the family to be non-toxic. If you want to write a letter from home, you have to read it first, in case someone tampers with it on the way to deliver the letter."
Isn't it obvious that he wants to read the contents of his family book?
Shang Rongyu really doubted him.
Ran Qinggu lowered his eyes and nodded meekly: "Yes."
Shang Rong and Yiyi smiled: "Taozi seems to be very ignorant of palace etiquette, she is too wild, why don't you send her to my mother and concubine, learn the rules, and then send her back to Shizi Concubine?"
Ran Qinggu was puzzled: "Huh? Why? She didn't make a mistake..."
Shangrong and the smile in his eyes cooled down a little bit, replaced by an endless cold light with a dangerous aura.
"Why? Are you reluctant? Because she is your cousin's maid?"
He really doubted him.
Ran Qinggu was thinking in his heart.
If Taozi is sent to the princess, Taozi will definitely have a hard time with Taozi's character and the princess's strict etiquette.
But he couldn't refuse.
He still can't tell.
Hesitated?
This is what's left.
You are the concubine of this prince, lying on the bed of this prince, but thinking of other men in your heart.Do you know that an unruly woman like you will be immersed in a pig cage?
Shang Rongyu suddenly pressed Ran Qinggu's head, and bit his lip until the corner of Ran Qinggu's mouth was bleeding.
"Does it hurt?" Shang Rongyu asked.
"It hurts." Ran Qinggu replied.
Shang Rongyu: "If it hurts, you will have a long memory. This son is your husband. You can only say yes to my request."
Ran Qinggu: "Taozi has followed me since childhood..."
Shang Rongyu said coldly: "I'm following your cousin."
Ran Qinggu Khan.
This man was really checking him out.
He really suspected him, and even found out who Tao Zi followed.
But why did he grit his teeth when he mentioned "cousin"?
Could it be that he has already doubted his identity?
In order to eliminate the flaws and suspicions in his words, Ran Qinggu said: "I grew up with my cousin, and Tao Zi followed my cousin, and also followed me."
Shang Rong and his tone became a little colder: "Why, you are so close to your cousin, you and I are no longer separated?"
Ran Qinggu: "..."
Can't communicate anymore.
Shang Rong didn't fight with Qi, he pushed Ran Qinggu to the side of the bed, took off his clothes and covered him.
He didn't do anything unruly, he just bit on the lips of Ran Qinggu's collarbone.
Every bite is hard.
Ran Qinggu cried out in pain several times, but held back.
A few bites are better than tearing his clothes.
"If the prince doesn't like that girl, I can transfer her outside the house to take care of the grocery store. Otherwise, I'm afraid that she will be too wild and make the princess angry."
Only then did Shang Rongyu raise his head, he saw that the collarbone of Ran Qinggu's neck was covered with red bloodstains from his bite, and felt distressed for a moment.
Since the concubine concubine Shi Zi gave in, he can't be too forceful, after all, he can't make his concubine Shi Zi feel that she is inferior to his cousin, so he said: "It's up to you."
After finishing speaking, he lay on the bed and asked like a good friend chatting: "What kind of person is your cousin?"
If there was no marriage bestowed by the emperor, the current concubine would have already lived together with that mediocre cousin and lived an ordinary life, instead of intriguing in this huge mansion, fighting with her dislike The men collapsed and slept together.
He thought he was pretty good to the concubine.
His family background and appearance did not shake the weight of that cousin in the heart of the imperial concubine.
Then how much does she love her cousin?What kind of person is that cousin?
He didn't believe that the imperial concubine would never forget a mediocre and ineffective sick child.
Ran Qinggu lay down with his clothes on, and said lightly: "He is not in good health."
Shang Rongyu became irritable when he heard his concubine talk about his cousin's situation, but he had no choice but to listen: "I know, let's talk about something else."
Ran Qinggu could only say: "His life is very boring, eating, dressing, keeping fit and reading..."
There is also calculation and planning.
Shangrong and surprise: "It's gone?"
Ran Qinggu nodded: "No more."
His life is very boring, repeating these boring things day after day.
Shang Rongyu asked in a different way: "Then what about him attracts you the most?"
Ran Qinggu thought for a while: "There is nothing about him that attracts me."
If he was a woman, he would never fall in love with someone like himself, just like a walking dead.
To be alive is to be dead.
If he had a choice, he would never be like himself again.
In the endless life, it is all black.
Shang Rongyu was a little confused about his concubine.
That cousin sounded very dull and uninteresting, mediocre without any sparkle.
Then why does the princess concubine defend herself like a jade for such a person?
Could it be that the sentence was true...
He just missed the time - he met the imperial concubine later than that cousin, and he and the imperial concubine did not have a good past...
==
The Double Ninth Festival is also known as "Ciqing" and "Treading Autumn".
On this day, the wives and ladies in each mansion will go to the temple to worship, pray for longevity, and climb high to "avoid disaster".
At the hour of Chen, the chariots and horses of the palace are all prepared with the best sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, rice wine and incense, and head to the Zhongming Temple in the suburbs.
Zhongming Temple is located in Shannan Mountain, the highest mountain in the suburbs of Kyoto. Every autumn, the chrysanthemums on the mountain are incomparably gorgeous and colorful. The dogwood on the mountain also grows very densely, and the fruits are red and glistening.Therefore, many ladies and wives will pick dogwood to make sachets and give them to close people to ward off evil spirits and disasters.
It was already noon when we arrived at Zhongming Temple, the temple was full of incense, and there were countless families of officials coming and going.
Ran Qinggu followed the princess to eat some vegetarian dishes and some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the temple. The cakes in this temple were not delicious, so he only ate a few symbolic mouthfuls.
The concubine smiled: "I know you young people like to climb high and look far away, appreciate chrysanthemums and sweet-scented osmanthus, and finally come out, you don't have to stay by my side, go find Rong Yu, he followed the emperor to Nanshan autumn a few days ago. Lie is still in this temple."
Ran Qinggu nodded: "Yes."
The Dasu Dynasty emphasized literature and martial arts.
During the spring hunting, princes, sons and daughters will accompany the king. Hunting is only one of the activities, and more family members of the court will go out together to enjoy flowers.
The autumn hunt can only be attended by the children of the nobles, it is a real effort on horseback and riding and shooting.
Because everything recovers in spring and animals mate|mate, it is a day to recuperate.
But if it's just going out for an outing, it's less interesting, so hunting is just one of the small activities, and the scope of hunting is extremely small, and it's more of a game-like lottery.
But Autumn Hunting is different.
Only aristocratic men can participate in the autumn hunt. It is a real fight on horseback.
The autumn hunting was just a few days ago, and it was also held in Nanshan.
After leaving the temple wing, Ran Qinggu walked towards the back mountain.
There are a lot of people there, many daughters' families are picking the bright red fruit of dogwood, and some are admiring the flowers and maple leaves in twos and threes.
Before taking two steps, Ran Qinggu met the third prince Shang Yuzhou.
Shang Yuzhou held a large plant of bright red dogwood fruit in his hand, and handed it to Ran Qinggu with a smile: "This thing wards off evil spirits and relieves bad luck. The concubine of the world should pick more, and the coming year will surely have a good weather."
Ran Qinggu didn't pick it up, and said lightly: "Thank you third prince, this thing should be kept by the third prince."
The sun is not strong now, but his forehead is soaked in sweat, even so, he is still wearing a white satin cloak to cover his neck tightly.
Shang Yuzhou said lightly: "It's really cool in the mountains at night, but it's hotter now, aren't you afraid of the heat?"
Ran Qinggu shook his head: "It's not hot."
Shang Yuzhou pretended to ask loudly: "Is the concubine Shizi here to look for the son? He is in the back mountain. I will take the concubine Shizi there."
Ran Qinggu saluted: "Third Prince, I'm sorry."
Walking to a place with few people, the two of them talked about business in a low voice while walking
Ran Qinggu: "The crown prince has lost power, and the second prince will surely ride the wind to rise. We must not act rashly, just watch the fire from the other side."
Shang Yuzhou was puzzled: "Since the prince has lost power, why don't we take action now?"
Ran Qinggu's eyebrows were light: "If you make a move at this moment, you will be the first to die."
Shang Yuzhou frowned, full of doubts.
Ran Qinggu: "The prince just looks at the loss of power, the emperor will definitely let him make a comeback, no matter how much the second prince fights with the prince, the emperor will turn a blind eye, because these are his two favorite sons, but you No, if you make a move at this moment, you will definitely show your feet, and your many years of disguise will fall short."
"At that time, in the eyes of the emperor, he will think that you are a wolfish ambition, and you are the chief culprit who provoked the dispute. At that time, it will not be the prince and the second prince who want you to die, but the emperor. If he takes into account the relationship between father and son, you Maybe you can still save your life, and you will spend your next life in Zongzheng Temple. If he is ruthless, your life will be over. So now we can only stand still, find the right time, and kill him with one blow."
Shang Yuzhou gritted his teeth, his expression darkened: "The royal family has no father-son relationship."
Ran Qinggu shook his head and sighed: "Yes, it's just not for you."
He was in the palace, and he was used to getting along with King Cheng, Shang Ronghe. Although Shang Ronghe often made King Cheng headache and annoyed, every time King Cheng scolded him, there was pampering in his tone, and no matter what Shang Ronghe did, They are all measured, and he has a good grasp of that degree.
Every time King Cheng scolded Shang Rongyu, even though he was furious, Ran Qinggu could tell that King Cheng really regarded Shang Rongyu as his pride.
His father treated his elder brother and him the same way.
It's just that he and his elder brother won't make his father half dead like Shang Rongyu did.
But Shang Yuzhou didn't have these.
The emperor treats him like a dog. If he stutters, he asks for sincerity. If he sees you unhappy, he beats you up without asking why.
Maybe sometimes, Shang Yuzhou is not as good as a dog.
After all, some dogs are sincere, wagging their tails to show off their cuteness, and the dog's owner can still look at the dog, but the emperor never glanced at Shang Yuzhou.
Shang Yuzhou said eagerly: "I know what you said, but I can't let you stay in the palace for too long, the longer the time, the more dangerous it will be."
He killed the prince earlier and replaced him, that way, he could get Ran Qinggu out of the current predicament earlier.
Ran Qinggu interrupted him: "So, you are too eager for quick success. There are some things that you only have one chance in a lifetime. If you want to do it, you must succeed. This point..."
His words came to his throat and he stopped.
Why did he think of Shang Rongyu at this time.
But it is true. In this regard, Shang Yuzhou is not comparable to Shang Rongyu, not even Shang Rongyu's eldest brother, Shang Rongque.
In terms of xinxing, Shangrongyu is indeed unique.
No matter who he faces, he can easily turn black and white right and wrong at will.
Shang Yuzhou was puzzled: "What?"
Ran Qinggu: "Nothing..."
As he was walking, the cloak hung on the wild thorn vines by the roadside, and when the vines pulled, the cloak fell off.
Ran Qinggu hurriedly bent down to pick it up, Shang Yuzhou was one step ahead of him and picked it up.
When he handed it to Ran Qinggu, he saw mottled bite marks on Ran Qinggu's neck and collarbone.
Some have faded, while others are still glowing red, and the shadows are scattered, dotted on the white skin in a patchwork manner.
Very extravagant, but also very fragrant, which makes people imagine.
That's what Shang Rongyu left behind because he didn't know what kind of nerves he had to catch him half a month ago.
His skin is very white and bloodless, and a bite will leave a mark, which cannot be removed for ten days and a half months.
Ran Qinggu quickly reached out to get the cloak, but Shang Yuzhou grabbed the cloak tightly and asked, "Shang Rongyu made it? He is a bastard, how could he treat you like this..."
Ran Qinggu pulled off his cloak: "Don't worry, he hasn't done anything to me yet, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here safe and sound."
Shang Yuzhou cursed bitterly: "You bastard, how dare you force you like this."
Ran Qinggu fastened his cloak: "Actually, have you ever thought about it? He is still a gentleman. I don't want to have sex, and he didn't insist on forcing me, but I am his concubine, and it is my duty to serve him." thing."
Shang Yuzhou was puzzled: "Why do you speak for him? Do you know what kind of person he is? He kills people without blinking an eye, does things with no regard for consequences, deviant, violent bastard, cuts off people's hands, feet and tongues... For thousands of years, it is estimated that There is only such a demon king in the world, and he was bumped into by you."
Ran Qinggu said lightly: "But I think he is very good like this. When I was young, my father and brother always taught me what kind of person to be, to be a pillar of the country, to be a literary hero, to be famous through the ages, to be a part of history Leave a name, want Wen Ke to rule the country and Wu Ke to be... But no one has ever told me to do what I want to do. He is the first person to tell me so."
Without waiting for Shang Yuzhou to be surprised, Ran Qinggu continued: "Like you, the edges and corners have been smoothed, like me, whose limbs have been mutilated, like those high-ranking officials of the imperial court, who have been pressed into a turtle shell, like the emperor, who has the pressure of the country. He is like a prince, bound by the imperial power... There is no one in the world like him, who lives as freely and unrestrainedly, doing whatever he wants... He has lived a life that many people want to have but can't, and he has lived a life like that. The way I want to live the most... If I can choose, I also want to live as much as I want. Sometimes I wonder whether the princes and grandchildren can live like him, and then I found out that I was wrong. The whole world seems to be the only one who can live like that, sometimes I really envy him, he is like a natural darling..."
Shang Yuzhou sneered: "You are the first person to say that about him."
Ran Qinggu was noncommittal. "Rong Yu, isn't that the concubine?" Lu Yunshen shouted, "Look at the third prince, Zhilan Yushu is very personable, and he still picks such a big handful of red beans, which is at least a circle bigger than the average person. The concubine is holding it, afraid of pressing her... look at you again..."
Lu Yunshen glanced up and down, his eyes full of disgust: "If I were the concubine of the world, I would immediately get out of the wall, even if I was soaked in a pig cage, I would not look back."
"Are you blind? That's obviously cornel fruit, red beans, red your uncle." Shang Rongyu folded his arms, staring fiercely at the two beautiful figures in the distance.
This woman really attracts bees and attracts butterflies, and her morality is quite deep...
Eating what was in the pot, thinking about what was in the previous pot, and now I found another pot outside.
Feelings, he grew up eating a lot of food, whoever wants to provoke him?
Are you really treating him as a decoration?
Could it be that he was too kind to her and made her so arrogant that he dared to dye his hat green?It's not just ordinary green, it's already two!
Lu Yunshen clicked his tongue twice: "It's still the third prince who is sympathetic. He knows that red beans are poisonous, and wearing them can easily hurt his body, so he used cornel fruit."
He randomly picked up a wild|chrysanthemum|flower from the side of the road, and stuffed it in Shang Rongyu's hands: "Brother can only help you so far, go, Sailor Moon!"
Shang Rong and Jiang Ye|chrysanthemum|flowers threw him in the face: "Go to hell with you."
He strode down the steps, walked up to Ran Qinggu and Shang Yuzhou, pulled Ran Qinggu over and kissed him in front of Shang Yuzhou.
Lu Yun was speechless.
Why hasn't the crown prince reconciled with Shang Rong yet?
If his brother dared to kiss his sister-in-law like this outside, his sister-in-law would have lost her temper.
It takes a long time for my daughter to put on makeup when she goes out.
Among them, lip makeup is the most difficult to apply, and it is also the easiest to be rubbed off. Once it is rubbed off, the whole makeup will look old-fashioned.
Therefore, when his sister-in-law is a guest outside, she basically doesn't move her chopsticks very much.
This business face is good, he kisses and licks directly outside, not tender and considerate at all.
Ran Qinggu's lips were moistened by Shang Ronghe's kiss. After the kiss was over, Shang Ronghe asked with a smile, "Don't ask the servants to notify me when you're here, so I can pick you up."
Ran Qinggu smiled: "The concubine is going to find the prince."
Shang Rongyu looked at Shang Yuzhou holding a large handful of red dogwood fruits in his hands, and smiled very ambiguously: "Yu'er, if you want to give me a sachet, you can give it. How dare you ask the third prince to pick the dogwood for you? One point My son is not good either."
As he spoke, he snatched the dogwood fruit from Shang Yuzhou's hand: "Thank you, Third Prince."
Shang Yuzhou: "..." Is it okay for you to pretend to be a bit of a motherfucker?
Ran Qinggu: "..."
He doesn't know how to embroider purses at all, when did he say he would send a sachet?
Shang Rongyu took Ran Qinggu to walk two steps, thought of something, and took out an oiled paper bag from his arms.
The inside of the oil paper bag is soft, and it sags when you pinch it lightly.
He glanced at it, and it was a piece of glutinous rice cake.
It should be an improved glutinous rice cake.
Ordinary glutinous rice cakes are much harder than this one, but this one is soft and glutinous, with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus and honey.
The chef should have asked the cook to grind rice flour and glutinous rice flour into powder, mix it with sweet-scented osmanthus honey and steam it on the stove overnight.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so soft at all.
Shang Rongyu smiled: "The vegetarian food on this mountain is not delicious, you must not eat much, so I sent someone to go down the mountain to buy you a rice cake, your stomach is not good recently, it is easier to digest if it is softer. When I go home at night, I'll ask someone to cook something delicious for you."
Ran Qinggu was stunned, his eyelashes trembled, his lips trembled slightly, and he asked subconsciously.
——"Where are you going?"
"Go home, what's the matter with you? Wangfu, home. Why have you been so stupid recently?" Shang Rong and funny went to hold Ran Qinggu's hand, "I'll take you to eat delicious food when I go home tonight. Almost all of the food you eat is for pigs, and I don’t know how the concubine mother eats it, and she will drag you up to the mountain to suffer.”
It seemed that Shang Rongyu's words in the East Palace that day sounded in Ran Qinggu's ears.
- "I'll take you home."
A very ordinary sentence.
But it's tricky for him.
A person like him came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, his feet were covered with bones, and his hands were stained with endless blood...
Suddenly someone said to take him home, he was not used to it.
"The prince is really kind to Yu'er." Ran Qinggu replied politely.
Shang Rong raised his eyebrows: "Nonsense, you are the concubine of this prince, and you should be nice to you. The most you say to this prince seems to be that I am so kind to you. You have nothing else to say to this prince, such as ' Husband loves Yu'er?"
Ran Qinggu lowered his head in embarrassment.
He didn't know what happened to Shang Rongyu recently, and he kept saying strange things to him.
Shang Yuzhou seemed to see a smile in Ran Qinggu's eyes.
It's a heartfelt laugh.
He had never seen Ran Qinggu like this.
The most common sentence Ran Qinggu said to Shang Rongyu was - "You are so kind to me."
But what Ran Qinggu said to him the most was - "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will pay back the life I owe you, and the life of the prince will be given before I die."
——Don't worry, Your Highness, I owe you my life, and I will pay it back.
——The prince’s life must be given before I die.
Shang Yuzhou's ears were filled with this clear and faint voice.
From the very beginning, he and Ran Qinggu were just a deal, he saved Ran Qinggu's life, and Ran Qinggu returned his life.
He said that he wanted the prince's life, but Ran Qinggu didn't ask how difficult it was, and agreed without hesitation.
But he was trading and trading, and he suddenly didn't want to trade.
When did this thing start?
Shang Yuzhou recalled fondly.
Like when he was very young.
His mother is a singer of a folk acrobatic troupe. She sang on the street and was favored by the emperor Shang Qianxian who was secretly visited by Weifu. included in the harem.
After she entered the palace, she was left out by Shang Qianxian within a few days.
How could a common woman understand the treacherous situation in the harem, and she didn't have a strong mother's family to rely on, nor did she find a stable backer in the harem, and she didn't even have the emperor's favor.
After being framed, her status dropped again and again, from a fifth-rank talented person to a seventh-rank Baolin.
Later, the emperor never asked them again, and their place of residence was moved from Cheng'an Palace to a courtyard not far from Lenggong.
There is only a garden away from the cold palace, which is actually equivalent to entering the cold palace.
The two eunuchs and maids who served them felt that they had no future, so they searched for various ways and were transferred away.
From then on, only their mother and son depended on each other in the remote and cold little courtyard of the imperial palace.
The eunuchs and maids of the Shang Palace Bureau knew that his mother was not favored, and every time they either withdrew food or money for charcoal fire.
Later, even the monthly allowance was gone, and the food for the mother and son was not as good as that of the lowest eunuch and court lady.
Eunuchs and court ladies also have a monthly rule that they can work harder in exchange for money, but they don't.
Their wives split a steamed bun into two halves, and you take a bite of a bowl of clear soup.
In the cold winter, the two of them leaned on each other wrapped in a thin blanket, shivering with cold and watching the snow falling outside the broken window.
When midsummer came, the two of them lay in the yard to sleep and enjoy the shade.
They have no incense, and the summer yard is full of mosquitos that suck one dry.
His mother stayed up all night to help him slap mosquitoes and fans, but even so, he was still covered with bites all over his body, and the skin would break when scratched, and then it would become inflamed and fester, with sores and pus.
Later, when he was four years old, he was pale and emaciated from hunger, and he was not tall. His mother gave him all the food in order to make him full.
At that time, he was most envious of the eunuchs in the palace. The eunuchs could eat whole steamed buns, but he had never eaten them before.
He even told his mother that he would become a eunuch when he grew up, so that their mothers could have enough to eat.
His mother told him that he was a prince and a prince could not be a eunuch.
He also felt sad for a long time because of this, lamenting the injustice of fate, why other people can be eunuchs, but he can't.
After that, his mother went to help the eunuchs and maids do laundry, sweep the yard and trim the flowers and branches in the palace in order to let him eat hot steamed buns in exchange for some money.
Every time his mother finds a job, she is very happy, even though the money in exchange is not much.
He is also very happy because they can finally have a full meal.
At that time, his mother was the only one in his whole world.
He didn't know his identity, and he didn't know what the prince was doing. Even if he ran out to play, he would surround the small courtyard, because if he ran too far, he would provoke the eunuchs and maids to come to the door, and when those people came, they would bully him With his mother two people.
The winter when he was five years old was extremely cold.
The goose feathers and heavy snow were falling one after another, and the trees on the ground of the houses were covered with ice edges. It is said that countless people froze to death outside the palace.
In the past, their mother and son could still cuddle up to each other for warmth, but this winter, it was obviously difficult to survive.
His mother said to go to the Shang Palace Bureau for some charcoal fire, after all he is a prince.
These years, when his mother often said that he was the prince, her expression was extremely relaxed and proud, as if he was a great hero who saved the world.
He watched his mother go out in the wind and snow wrapped in old-fashioned thin clothes. When she came back, she was covered in wind and snow and her hands were empty.
After nightfall, his mother fell ill. She was covered in cold sweat, her teeth chattered, and her body temperature was frighteningly high.
He called her, but she shouldn't, her eyes were closed tightly, her face was ashen.
If she hadn't been shivering from the cold, he would have thought his mother was dead.
He couldn't let her die like this.
He ran out to find someone outside to rescue her.
That was the first time in his life to see his father.
It was also the first time he knew what a prince was.
When he ran out, he saw a man in a yellow robe, brocade clothes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He stopped his way, prostrated himself on the ground, and begged him to save his mother.
The man frowned, and beside him were two or three children dressed in brocade clothes and robes who looked like jade carvings. Compared with them, he was sallow and emaciated like an ant.
He saw that the maids and eunuchs who were serving them were respectful to those children, calling them "Prince", "Second Prince" and "Sixth Prince".
His mother told him that he was the third prince.
The stalwart, tall, handsome man with sword-brows and star-eyed eyes cast a glance at him, and asked displeasedly, "Where did this kid come from? How could he be in the palace?"
The palace people looked at each other, and he said tremblingly: "My name is Shang Yuzhou, my mother said that I am the third prince, I beg your benefactor to save my mother."
The emperor was shocked and dissatisfied, and kicked him: "You bastard, you are a prince, how can you dress like this, it really insults the face of my royal family."
He looked angrily at the palace maid and eunuch: "Which palace raised the third prince? How did you raise him like this?"
The palace maid and eunuch were terrified, and did not dare to say that they bullied Wang Baolin when she saw that she was not favored, so they buried their heads and said: "The third prince is Wang Baolin's son, Wang Baolin was reluctant to give his son to others, so he raised him himself, but he didn't want to... "
Then a graceful woman said something, and the emperor asked Concubine Mei to take him back.
Concubine Mei gently took his hand, and gave him all the hand warmer armholes. She didn't dislike him for being dirty and hugged him and called him Zhouer. Passed melons and fruits.
That night, he was brought back to the bedroom by Concubine Mei. She changed him into beautiful and expensive clothes, gave him a hot bath, and prepared a lot of delicious food for him.
Here, all the eunuchs and court ladies respectfully address him as the third prince.
No one is bullying him.
However, they didn't let him mention his mother, and they didn't let him go back to find her. They asked him to call Concubine Mei mother.
No one helped him, and they even watched him, for fear that he would run out again.
In the middle of the night, he stole all the food in Concubine Mei's bedroom, and he wanted to bring it back for his mother to eat.
His mother will get better when she is full.
But when he ran back to the small courtyard, he didn't see his mother at all, the cold wind howled in from the window like a sharp knife.
He hid the food in the dark under the bed of his mother and his wife, and then went to several places his mother often visited.
He searched for a long time, and the thick snow illuminated his way.
Finally, he found his mother by the Yuhua Pond.
The water droplets all over the woman's body had already frozen, and she fell into the snow with a pale face. A thick layer of snow had fallen on her body, and the snow covered her like a quilt.
In the thick snow, a small jade pendant looms.
He grabbed it and looked at it.
It was the jade pendant worn around the waist of the man honored as the prince during the day.
He clutched the jade pendant tightly, knelt by the Yuhua Pond and wailed for her, but she couldn't hear her anymore.
In the middle of the night, he dragged his mother's body in the snow. At the age of five, he couldn't even catch a chicken, but he dragged a person for most of the night until he passed out in the snow.
It wasn't until he grew up that he found out. That night, his mother didn't see him going back, and she dragged her sick body out to look for him in a moment of anxiety.
His mother called him "Fatty."
Because she is from the folk, there are rumors among the folks, if you want something, just shout a few times, and it will come.
His mother thought he was sallow and thin, too thin, and wanted him to gain weight, so she called him "Fatty".
But he didn't want the prince to be obese since he was a child, he had a low self-esteem, and the most taboo for others to say fat-related words in front of him.
And when his mother called "Fatty" to look for him by the Yuhua Pond, she met the prince.
The prince became furious and felt that his mother was mocking him, so he ordered someone to push her into the Yuhua Pond.
The day he met Ran Qinggu, it was snowing heavily, as big as the night his mother died.
The second prince slaughtered someone and asked him to clean up the aftermath.
There are only two colors for the whole hill - the red of blood and the white of snow.
There are broken corpses and limbs all over the mountains and plains, and there is heavy snow, pure white, clean, spotless...
In the midst of the heavy snow, he saw him, just like his mother at that time, lying on the snow, his face was pale, and his eyebrows and hair were covered with snow on his fingertips...
He stared in astonishment, not daring to approach.
When the guard said he was still alive, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look up at the sky.
This is God finally ashamed, seeing him suffering for so many years, and giving it back to him in the way of robbing his dearest relatives?Or did his mother let another person accompany him instead of her in the way she left?
With such overlapping scenes, he suddenly felt that fate was really wonderful.
He lost one in the snow, and met another in the snow, lying on the snow like his mother, with thick snow on his body...
Shang Yuzhou was confused.
Looking at the backs of Ran Qinggu and Shang Rongyu, he felt an indescribable fear in his heart.
He always felt that he couldn't even keep this one.
This person should be with him!
He suddenly didn't want the prince to die.
The prince is not dead, there are still many bonds between him and Ran Qinggu.
As long as the crown prince is alive, then Ran Qinggu owes him his life.
If the crown prince dies, what will he do to keep Ran Qinggu?
Shang Rong rubbed the small piece of paper with his thumb and index finger.
The little piece of paper was quickly rubbed away by him without a trace.
Have you lost your mind?
What did you think?
Is it the thought of staying and flying away with my cousin?
Ran Qinggu saw Shang Rong and his eyes burst into a cold light, when he raised his eyebrows and looked at him, he looked like a beast that had been robbed of its prey, its sharp teeth were biting.
He didn't understand where he had provoked this person again.
Shang Rongyu sneered: "Stop thinking about it, Shi Zifei, you'd better stop thinking about what you shouldn't."
Ran Qinggu: "..."
Why is it so strange?Could it be that Shang Rong and found something?
Could it be that Shang Rongyu sent the first batch of people to investigate?
On weekdays, the wounds on his hands were covered up with powder and long-sleeved jade bracelets, and he never showed them, and no one would notice his wrists...
Only Shang Rong and lay with him day and night.
Ran Qinggu suddenly remembered that day when Shang Rongyu forced him to change clothes in front of him.
Could it be that something was discovered that day?
Shang Rongyu walked to the bed and spread his hands: "Come here, change clothes."
Ran Qinggu walked over, reached out and slowly untied Shang Rongyu's belt.
Shang Rongyu suddenly pressed Ran Qinggu's hand: "Concubine Shizi, I have made too many enemies, in case someone takes revenge on you, Concubine Shizi, next time the family letter should be sent to me first. I will give it to you after I have checked the letter from the family to be non-toxic. If you want to write a letter from home, you have to read it first, in case someone tampers with it on the way to deliver the letter."
Isn't it obvious that he wants to read the contents of his family book?
Shang Rongyu really doubted him.
Ran Qinggu lowered his eyes and nodded meekly: "Yes."
Shang Rong and Yiyi smiled: "Taozi seems to be very ignorant of palace etiquette, she is too wild, why don't you send her to my mother and concubine, learn the rules, and then send her back to Shizi Concubine?"
Ran Qinggu was puzzled: "Huh? Why? She didn't make a mistake..."
Shangrong and the smile in his eyes cooled down a little bit, replaced by an endless cold light with a dangerous aura.
"Why? Are you reluctant? Because she is your cousin's maid?"
He really doubted him.
Ran Qinggu was thinking in his heart.
If Taozi is sent to the princess, Taozi will definitely have a hard time with Taozi's character and the princess's strict etiquette.
But he couldn't refuse.
He still can't tell.
Hesitated?
This is what's left.
You are the concubine of this prince, lying on the bed of this prince, but thinking of other men in your heart.Do you know that an unruly woman like you will be immersed in a pig cage?
Shang Rongyu suddenly pressed Ran Qinggu's head, and bit his lip until the corner of Ran Qinggu's mouth was bleeding.
"Does it hurt?" Shang Rongyu asked.
"It hurts." Ran Qinggu replied.
Shang Rongyu: "If it hurts, you will have a long memory. This son is your husband. You can only say yes to my request."
Ran Qinggu: "Taozi has followed me since childhood..."
Shang Rongyu said coldly: "I'm following your cousin."
Ran Qinggu Khan.
This man was really checking him out.
He really suspected him, and even found out who Tao Zi followed.
But why did he grit his teeth when he mentioned "cousin"?
Could it be that he has already doubted his identity?
In order to eliminate the flaws and suspicions in his words, Ran Qinggu said: "I grew up with my cousin, and Tao Zi followed my cousin, and also followed me."
Shang Rong and his tone became a little colder: "Why, you are so close to your cousin, you and I are no longer separated?"
Ran Qinggu: "..."
Can't communicate anymore.
Shang Rong didn't fight with Qi, he pushed Ran Qinggu to the side of the bed, took off his clothes and covered him.
He didn't do anything unruly, he just bit on the lips of Ran Qinggu's collarbone.
Every bite is hard.
Ran Qinggu cried out in pain several times, but held back.
A few bites are better than tearing his clothes.
"If the prince doesn't like that girl, I can transfer her outside the house to take care of the grocery store. Otherwise, I'm afraid that she will be too wild and make the princess angry."
Only then did Shang Rongyu raise his head, he saw that the collarbone of Ran Qinggu's neck was covered with red bloodstains from his bite, and felt distressed for a moment.
Since the concubine concubine Shi Zi gave in, he can't be too forceful, after all, he can't make his concubine Shi Zi feel that she is inferior to his cousin, so he said: "It's up to you."
After finishing speaking, he lay on the bed and asked like a good friend chatting: "What kind of person is your cousin?"
If there was no marriage bestowed by the emperor, the current concubine would have already lived together with that mediocre cousin and lived an ordinary life, instead of intriguing in this huge mansion, fighting with her dislike The men collapsed and slept together.
He thought he was pretty good to the concubine.
His family background and appearance did not shake the weight of that cousin in the heart of the imperial concubine.
Then how much does she love her cousin?What kind of person is that cousin?
He didn't believe that the imperial concubine would never forget a mediocre and ineffective sick child.
Ran Qinggu lay down with his clothes on, and said lightly: "He is not in good health."
Shang Rongyu became irritable when he heard his concubine talk about his cousin's situation, but he had no choice but to listen: "I know, let's talk about something else."
Ran Qinggu could only say: "His life is very boring, eating, dressing, keeping fit and reading..."
There is also calculation and planning.
Shangrong and surprise: "It's gone?"
Ran Qinggu nodded: "No more."
His life is very boring, repeating these boring things day after day.
Shang Rongyu asked in a different way: "Then what about him attracts you the most?"
Ran Qinggu thought for a while: "There is nothing about him that attracts me."
If he was a woman, he would never fall in love with someone like himself, just like a walking dead.
To be alive is to be dead.
If he had a choice, he would never be like himself again.
In the endless life, it is all black.
Shang Rongyu was a little confused about his concubine.
That cousin sounded very dull and uninteresting, mediocre without any sparkle.
Then why does the princess concubine defend herself like a jade for such a person?
Could it be that the sentence was true...
He just missed the time - he met the imperial concubine later than that cousin, and he and the imperial concubine did not have a good past...
==
The Double Ninth Festival is also known as "Ciqing" and "Treading Autumn".
On this day, the wives and ladies in each mansion will go to the temple to worship, pray for longevity, and climb high to "avoid disaster".
At the hour of Chen, the chariots and horses of the palace are all prepared with the best sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, rice wine and incense, and head to the Zhongming Temple in the suburbs.
Zhongming Temple is located in Shannan Mountain, the highest mountain in the suburbs of Kyoto. Every autumn, the chrysanthemums on the mountain are incomparably gorgeous and colorful. The dogwood on the mountain also grows very densely, and the fruits are red and glistening.Therefore, many ladies and wives will pick dogwood to make sachets and give them to close people to ward off evil spirits and disasters.
It was already noon when we arrived at Zhongming Temple, the temple was full of incense, and there were countless families of officials coming and going.
Ran Qinggu followed the princess to eat some vegetarian dishes and some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the temple. The cakes in this temple were not delicious, so he only ate a few symbolic mouthfuls.
The concubine smiled: "I know you young people like to climb high and look far away, appreciate chrysanthemums and sweet-scented osmanthus, and finally come out, you don't have to stay by my side, go find Rong Yu, he followed the emperor to Nanshan autumn a few days ago. Lie is still in this temple."
Ran Qinggu nodded: "Yes."
The Dasu Dynasty emphasized literature and martial arts.
During the spring hunting, princes, sons and daughters will accompany the king. Hunting is only one of the activities, and more family members of the court will go out together to enjoy flowers.
The autumn hunt can only be attended by the children of the nobles, it is a real effort on horseback and riding and shooting.
Because everything recovers in spring and animals mate|mate, it is a day to recuperate.
But if it's just going out for an outing, it's less interesting, so hunting is just one of the small activities, and the scope of hunting is extremely small, and it's more of a game-like lottery.
But Autumn Hunting is different.
Only aristocratic men can participate in the autumn hunt. It is a real fight on horseback.
The autumn hunting was just a few days ago, and it was also held in Nanshan.
After leaving the temple wing, Ran Qinggu walked towards the back mountain.
There are a lot of people there, many daughters' families are picking the bright red fruit of dogwood, and some are admiring the flowers and maple leaves in twos and threes.
Before taking two steps, Ran Qinggu met the third prince Shang Yuzhou.
Shang Yuzhou held a large plant of bright red dogwood fruit in his hand, and handed it to Ran Qinggu with a smile: "This thing wards off evil spirits and relieves bad luck. The concubine of the world should pick more, and the coming year will surely have a good weather."
Ran Qinggu didn't pick it up, and said lightly: "Thank you third prince, this thing should be kept by the third prince."
The sun is not strong now, but his forehead is soaked in sweat, even so, he is still wearing a white satin cloak to cover his neck tightly.
Shang Yuzhou said lightly: "It's really cool in the mountains at night, but it's hotter now, aren't you afraid of the heat?"
Ran Qinggu shook his head: "It's not hot."
Shang Yuzhou pretended to ask loudly: "Is the concubine Shizi here to look for the son? He is in the back mountain. I will take the concubine Shizi there."
Ran Qinggu saluted: "Third Prince, I'm sorry."
Walking to a place with few people, the two of them talked about business in a low voice while walking
Ran Qinggu: "The crown prince has lost power, and the second prince will surely ride the wind to rise. We must not act rashly, just watch the fire from the other side."
Shang Yuzhou was puzzled: "Since the prince has lost power, why don't we take action now?"
Ran Qinggu's eyebrows were light: "If you make a move at this moment, you will be the first to die."
Shang Yuzhou frowned, full of doubts.
Ran Qinggu: "The prince just looks at the loss of power, the emperor will definitely let him make a comeback, no matter how much the second prince fights with the prince, the emperor will turn a blind eye, because these are his two favorite sons, but you No, if you make a move at this moment, you will definitely show your feet, and your many years of disguise will fall short."
"At that time, in the eyes of the emperor, he will think that you are a wolfish ambition, and you are the chief culprit who provoked the dispute. At that time, it will not be the prince and the second prince who want you to die, but the emperor. If he takes into account the relationship between father and son, you Maybe you can still save your life, and you will spend your next life in Zongzheng Temple. If he is ruthless, your life will be over. So now we can only stand still, find the right time, and kill him with one blow."
Shang Yuzhou gritted his teeth, his expression darkened: "The royal family has no father-son relationship."
Ran Qinggu shook his head and sighed: "Yes, it's just not for you."
He was in the palace, and he was used to getting along with King Cheng, Shang Ronghe. Although Shang Ronghe often made King Cheng headache and annoyed, every time King Cheng scolded him, there was pampering in his tone, and no matter what Shang Ronghe did, They are all measured, and he has a good grasp of that degree.
Every time King Cheng scolded Shang Rongyu, even though he was furious, Ran Qinggu could tell that King Cheng really regarded Shang Rongyu as his pride.
His father treated his elder brother and him the same way.
It's just that he and his elder brother won't make his father half dead like Shang Rongyu did.
But Shang Yuzhou didn't have these.
The emperor treats him like a dog. If he stutters, he asks for sincerity. If he sees you unhappy, he beats you up without asking why.
Maybe sometimes, Shang Yuzhou is not as good as a dog.
After all, some dogs are sincere, wagging their tails to show off their cuteness, and the dog's owner can still look at the dog, but the emperor never glanced at Shang Yuzhou.
Shang Yuzhou said eagerly: "I know what you said, but I can't let you stay in the palace for too long, the longer the time, the more dangerous it will be."
He killed the prince earlier and replaced him, that way, he could get Ran Qinggu out of the current predicament earlier.
Ran Qinggu interrupted him: "So, you are too eager for quick success. There are some things that you only have one chance in a lifetime. If you want to do it, you must succeed. This point..."
His words came to his throat and he stopped.
Why did he think of Shang Rongyu at this time.
But it is true. In this regard, Shang Yuzhou is not comparable to Shang Rongyu, not even Shang Rongyu's eldest brother, Shang Rongque.
In terms of xinxing, Shangrongyu is indeed unique.
No matter who he faces, he can easily turn black and white right and wrong at will.
Shang Yuzhou was puzzled: "What?"
Ran Qinggu: "Nothing..."
As he was walking, the cloak hung on the wild thorn vines by the roadside, and when the vines pulled, the cloak fell off.
Ran Qinggu hurriedly bent down to pick it up, Shang Yuzhou was one step ahead of him and picked it up.
When he handed it to Ran Qinggu, he saw mottled bite marks on Ran Qinggu's neck and collarbone.
Some have faded, while others are still glowing red, and the shadows are scattered, dotted on the white skin in a patchwork manner.
Very extravagant, but also very fragrant, which makes people imagine.
That's what Shang Rongyu left behind because he didn't know what kind of nerves he had to catch him half a month ago.
His skin is very white and bloodless, and a bite will leave a mark, which cannot be removed for ten days and a half months.
Ran Qinggu quickly reached out to get the cloak, but Shang Yuzhou grabbed the cloak tightly and asked, "Shang Rongyu made it? He is a bastard, how could he treat you like this..."
Ran Qinggu pulled off his cloak: "Don't worry, he hasn't done anything to me yet, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here safe and sound."
Shang Yuzhou cursed bitterly: "You bastard, how dare you force you like this."
Ran Qinggu fastened his cloak: "Actually, have you ever thought about it? He is still a gentleman. I don't want to have sex, and he didn't insist on forcing me, but I am his concubine, and it is my duty to serve him." thing."
Shang Yuzhou was puzzled: "Why do you speak for him? Do you know what kind of person he is? He kills people without blinking an eye, does things with no regard for consequences, deviant, violent bastard, cuts off people's hands, feet and tongues... For thousands of years, it is estimated that There is only such a demon king in the world, and he was bumped into by you."
Ran Qinggu said lightly: "But I think he is very good like this. When I was young, my father and brother always taught me what kind of person to be, to be a pillar of the country, to be a literary hero, to be famous through the ages, to be a part of history Leave a name, want Wen Ke to rule the country and Wu Ke to be... But no one has ever told me to do what I want to do. He is the first person to tell me so."
Without waiting for Shang Yuzhou to be surprised, Ran Qinggu continued: "Like you, the edges and corners have been smoothed, like me, whose limbs have been mutilated, like those high-ranking officials of the imperial court, who have been pressed into a turtle shell, like the emperor, who has the pressure of the country. He is like a prince, bound by the imperial power... There is no one in the world like him, who lives as freely and unrestrainedly, doing whatever he wants... He has lived a life that many people want to have but can't, and he has lived a life like that. The way I want to live the most... If I can choose, I also want to live as much as I want. Sometimes I wonder whether the princes and grandchildren can live like him, and then I found out that I was wrong. The whole world seems to be the only one who can live like that, sometimes I really envy him, he is like a natural darling..."
Shang Yuzhou sneered: "You are the first person to say that about him."
Ran Qinggu was noncommittal. "Rong Yu, isn't that the concubine?" Lu Yunshen shouted, "Look at the third prince, Zhilan Yushu is very personable, and he still picks such a big handful of red beans, which is at least a circle bigger than the average person. The concubine is holding it, afraid of pressing her... look at you again..."
Lu Yunshen glanced up and down, his eyes full of disgust: "If I were the concubine of the world, I would immediately get out of the wall, even if I was soaked in a pig cage, I would not look back."
"Are you blind? That's obviously cornel fruit, red beans, red your uncle." Shang Rongyu folded his arms, staring fiercely at the two beautiful figures in the distance.
This woman really attracts bees and attracts butterflies, and her morality is quite deep...
Eating what was in the pot, thinking about what was in the previous pot, and now I found another pot outside.
Feelings, he grew up eating a lot of food, whoever wants to provoke him?
Are you really treating him as a decoration?
Could it be that he was too kind to her and made her so arrogant that he dared to dye his hat green?It's not just ordinary green, it's already two!
Lu Yunshen clicked his tongue twice: "It's still the third prince who is sympathetic. He knows that red beans are poisonous, and wearing them can easily hurt his body, so he used cornel fruit."
He randomly picked up a wild|chrysanthemum|flower from the side of the road, and stuffed it in Shang Rongyu's hands: "Brother can only help you so far, go, Sailor Moon!"
Shang Rong and Jiang Ye|chrysanthemum|flowers threw him in the face: "Go to hell with you."
He strode down the steps, walked up to Ran Qinggu and Shang Yuzhou, pulled Ran Qinggu over and kissed him in front of Shang Yuzhou.
Lu Yun was speechless.
Why hasn't the crown prince reconciled with Shang Rong yet?
If his brother dared to kiss his sister-in-law like this outside, his sister-in-law would have lost her temper.
It takes a long time for my daughter to put on makeup when she goes out.
Among them, lip makeup is the most difficult to apply, and it is also the easiest to be rubbed off. Once it is rubbed off, the whole makeup will look old-fashioned.
Therefore, when his sister-in-law is a guest outside, she basically doesn't move her chopsticks very much.
This business face is good, he kisses and licks directly outside, not tender and considerate at all.
Ran Qinggu's lips were moistened by Shang Ronghe's kiss. After the kiss was over, Shang Ronghe asked with a smile, "Don't ask the servants to notify me when you're here, so I can pick you up."
Ran Qinggu smiled: "The concubine is going to find the prince."
Shang Rongyu looked at Shang Yuzhou holding a large handful of red dogwood fruits in his hands, and smiled very ambiguously: "Yu'er, if you want to give me a sachet, you can give it. How dare you ask the third prince to pick the dogwood for you? One point My son is not good either."
As he spoke, he snatched the dogwood fruit from Shang Yuzhou's hand: "Thank you, Third Prince."
Shang Yuzhou: "..." Is it okay for you to pretend to be a bit of a motherfucker?
Ran Qinggu: "..."
He doesn't know how to embroider purses at all, when did he say he would send a sachet?
Shang Rongyu took Ran Qinggu to walk two steps, thought of something, and took out an oiled paper bag from his arms.
The inside of the oil paper bag is soft, and it sags when you pinch it lightly.
He glanced at it, and it was a piece of glutinous rice cake.
It should be an improved glutinous rice cake.
Ordinary glutinous rice cakes are much harder than this one, but this one is soft and glutinous, with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus and honey.
The chef should have asked the cook to grind rice flour and glutinous rice flour into powder, mix it with sweet-scented osmanthus honey and steam it on the stove overnight.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so soft at all.
Shang Rongyu smiled: "The vegetarian food on this mountain is not delicious, you must not eat much, so I sent someone to go down the mountain to buy you a rice cake, your stomach is not good recently, it is easier to digest if it is softer. When I go home at night, I'll ask someone to cook something delicious for you."
Ran Qinggu was stunned, his eyelashes trembled, his lips trembled slightly, and he asked subconsciously.
——"Where are you going?"
"Go home, what's the matter with you? Wangfu, home. Why have you been so stupid recently?" Shang Rong and funny went to hold Ran Qinggu's hand, "I'll take you to eat delicious food when I go home tonight. Almost all of the food you eat is for pigs, and I don’t know how the concubine mother eats it, and she will drag you up to the mountain to suffer.”
It seemed that Shang Rongyu's words in the East Palace that day sounded in Ran Qinggu's ears.
- "I'll take you home."
A very ordinary sentence.
But it's tricky for him.
A person like him came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, his feet were covered with bones, and his hands were stained with endless blood...
Suddenly someone said to take him home, he was not used to it.
"The prince is really kind to Yu'er." Ran Qinggu replied politely.
Shang Rong raised his eyebrows: "Nonsense, you are the concubine of this prince, and you should be nice to you. The most you say to this prince seems to be that I am so kind to you. You have nothing else to say to this prince, such as ' Husband loves Yu'er?"
Ran Qinggu lowered his head in embarrassment.
He didn't know what happened to Shang Rongyu recently, and he kept saying strange things to him.
Shang Yuzhou seemed to see a smile in Ran Qinggu's eyes.
It's a heartfelt laugh.
He had never seen Ran Qinggu like this.
The most common sentence Ran Qinggu said to Shang Rongyu was - "You are so kind to me."
But what Ran Qinggu said to him the most was - "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will pay back the life I owe you, and the life of the prince will be given before I die."
——Don't worry, Your Highness, I owe you my life, and I will pay it back.
——The prince’s life must be given before I die.
Shang Yuzhou's ears were filled with this clear and faint voice.
From the very beginning, he and Ran Qinggu were just a deal, he saved Ran Qinggu's life, and Ran Qinggu returned his life.
He said that he wanted the prince's life, but Ran Qinggu didn't ask how difficult it was, and agreed without hesitation.
But he was trading and trading, and he suddenly didn't want to trade.
When did this thing start?
Shang Yuzhou recalled fondly.
Like when he was very young.
His mother is a singer of a folk acrobatic troupe. She sang on the street and was favored by the emperor Shang Qianxian who was secretly visited by Weifu. included in the harem.
After she entered the palace, she was left out by Shang Qianxian within a few days.
How could a common woman understand the treacherous situation in the harem, and she didn't have a strong mother's family to rely on, nor did she find a stable backer in the harem, and she didn't even have the emperor's favor.
After being framed, her status dropped again and again, from a fifth-rank talented person to a seventh-rank Baolin.
Later, the emperor never asked them again, and their place of residence was moved from Cheng'an Palace to a courtyard not far from Lenggong.
There is only a garden away from the cold palace, which is actually equivalent to entering the cold palace.
The two eunuchs and maids who served them felt that they had no future, so they searched for various ways and were transferred away.
From then on, only their mother and son depended on each other in the remote and cold little courtyard of the imperial palace.
The eunuchs and maids of the Shang Palace Bureau knew that his mother was not favored, and every time they either withdrew food or money for charcoal fire.
Later, even the monthly allowance was gone, and the food for the mother and son was not as good as that of the lowest eunuch and court lady.
Eunuchs and court ladies also have a monthly rule that they can work harder in exchange for money, but they don't.
Their wives split a steamed bun into two halves, and you take a bite of a bowl of clear soup.
In the cold winter, the two of them leaned on each other wrapped in a thin blanket, shivering with cold and watching the snow falling outside the broken window.
When midsummer came, the two of them lay in the yard to sleep and enjoy the shade.
They have no incense, and the summer yard is full of mosquitos that suck one dry.
His mother stayed up all night to help him slap mosquitoes and fans, but even so, he was still covered with bites all over his body, and the skin would break when scratched, and then it would become inflamed and fester, with sores and pus.
Later, when he was four years old, he was pale and emaciated from hunger, and he was not tall. His mother gave him all the food in order to make him full.
At that time, he was most envious of the eunuchs in the palace. The eunuchs could eat whole steamed buns, but he had never eaten them before.
He even told his mother that he would become a eunuch when he grew up, so that their mothers could have enough to eat.
His mother told him that he was a prince and a prince could not be a eunuch.
He also felt sad for a long time because of this, lamenting the injustice of fate, why other people can be eunuchs, but he can't.
After that, his mother went to help the eunuchs and maids do laundry, sweep the yard and trim the flowers and branches in the palace in order to let him eat hot steamed buns in exchange for some money.
Every time his mother finds a job, she is very happy, even though the money in exchange is not much.
He is also very happy because they can finally have a full meal.
At that time, his mother was the only one in his whole world.
He didn't know his identity, and he didn't know what the prince was doing. Even if he ran out to play, he would surround the small courtyard, because if he ran too far, he would provoke the eunuchs and maids to come to the door, and when those people came, they would bully him With his mother two people.
The winter when he was five years old was extremely cold.
The goose feathers and heavy snow were falling one after another, and the trees on the ground of the houses were covered with ice edges. It is said that countless people froze to death outside the palace.
In the past, their mother and son could still cuddle up to each other for warmth, but this winter, it was obviously difficult to survive.
His mother said to go to the Shang Palace Bureau for some charcoal fire, after all he is a prince.
These years, when his mother often said that he was the prince, her expression was extremely relaxed and proud, as if he was a great hero who saved the world.
He watched his mother go out in the wind and snow wrapped in old-fashioned thin clothes. When she came back, she was covered in wind and snow and her hands were empty.
After nightfall, his mother fell ill. She was covered in cold sweat, her teeth chattered, and her body temperature was frighteningly high.
He called her, but she shouldn't, her eyes were closed tightly, her face was ashen.
If she hadn't been shivering from the cold, he would have thought his mother was dead.
He couldn't let her die like this.
He ran out to find someone outside to rescue her.
That was the first time in his life to see his father.
It was also the first time he knew what a prince was.
When he ran out, he saw a man in a yellow robe, brocade clothes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He stopped his way, prostrated himself on the ground, and begged him to save his mother.
The man frowned, and beside him were two or three children dressed in brocade clothes and robes who looked like jade carvings. Compared with them, he was sallow and emaciated like an ant.
He saw that the maids and eunuchs who were serving them were respectful to those children, calling them "Prince", "Second Prince" and "Sixth Prince".
His mother told him that he was the third prince.
The stalwart, tall, handsome man with sword-brows and star-eyed eyes cast a glance at him, and asked displeasedly, "Where did this kid come from? How could he be in the palace?"
The palace people looked at each other, and he said tremblingly: "My name is Shang Yuzhou, my mother said that I am the third prince, I beg your benefactor to save my mother."
The emperor was shocked and dissatisfied, and kicked him: "You bastard, you are a prince, how can you dress like this, it really insults the face of my royal family."
He looked angrily at the palace maid and eunuch: "Which palace raised the third prince? How did you raise him like this?"
The palace maid and eunuch were terrified, and did not dare to say that they bullied Wang Baolin when she saw that she was not favored, so they buried their heads and said: "The third prince is Wang Baolin's son, Wang Baolin was reluctant to give his son to others, so he raised him himself, but he didn't want to... "
Then a graceful woman said something, and the emperor asked Concubine Mei to take him back.
Concubine Mei gently took his hand, and gave him all the hand warmer armholes. She didn't dislike him for being dirty and hugged him and called him Zhouer. Passed melons and fruits.
That night, he was brought back to the bedroom by Concubine Mei. She changed him into beautiful and expensive clothes, gave him a hot bath, and prepared a lot of delicious food for him.
Here, all the eunuchs and court ladies respectfully address him as the third prince.
No one is bullying him.
However, they didn't let him mention his mother, and they didn't let him go back to find her. They asked him to call Concubine Mei mother.
No one helped him, and they even watched him, for fear that he would run out again.
In the middle of the night, he stole all the food in Concubine Mei's bedroom, and he wanted to bring it back for his mother to eat.
His mother will get better when she is full.
But when he ran back to the small courtyard, he didn't see his mother at all, the cold wind howled in from the window like a sharp knife.
He hid the food in the dark under the bed of his mother and his wife, and then went to several places his mother often visited.
He searched for a long time, and the thick snow illuminated his way.
Finally, he found his mother by the Yuhua Pond.
The water droplets all over the woman's body had already frozen, and she fell into the snow with a pale face. A thick layer of snow had fallen on her body, and the snow covered her like a quilt.
In the thick snow, a small jade pendant looms.
He grabbed it and looked at it.
It was the jade pendant worn around the waist of the man honored as the prince during the day.
He clutched the jade pendant tightly, knelt by the Yuhua Pond and wailed for her, but she couldn't hear her anymore.
In the middle of the night, he dragged his mother's body in the snow. At the age of five, he couldn't even catch a chicken, but he dragged a person for most of the night until he passed out in the snow.
It wasn't until he grew up that he found out. That night, his mother didn't see him going back, and she dragged her sick body out to look for him in a moment of anxiety.
His mother called him "Fatty."
Because she is from the folk, there are rumors among the folks, if you want something, just shout a few times, and it will come.
His mother thought he was sallow and thin, too thin, and wanted him to gain weight, so she called him "Fatty".
But he didn't want the prince to be obese since he was a child, he had a low self-esteem, and the most taboo for others to say fat-related words in front of him.
And when his mother called "Fatty" to look for him by the Yuhua Pond, she met the prince.
The prince became furious and felt that his mother was mocking him, so he ordered someone to push her into the Yuhua Pond.
The day he met Ran Qinggu, it was snowing heavily, as big as the night his mother died.
The second prince slaughtered someone and asked him to clean up the aftermath.
There are only two colors for the whole hill - the red of blood and the white of snow.
There are broken corpses and limbs all over the mountains and plains, and there is heavy snow, pure white, clean, spotless...
In the midst of the heavy snow, he saw him, just like his mother at that time, lying on the snow, his face was pale, and his eyebrows and hair were covered with snow on his fingertips...
He stared in astonishment, not daring to approach.
When the guard said he was still alive, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look up at the sky.
This is God finally ashamed, seeing him suffering for so many years, and giving it back to him in the way of robbing his dearest relatives?Or did his mother let another person accompany him instead of her in the way she left?
With such overlapping scenes, he suddenly felt that fate was really wonderful.
He lost one in the snow, and met another in the snow, lying on the snow like his mother, with thick snow on his body...
Shang Yuzhou was confused.
Looking at the backs of Ran Qinggu and Shang Rongyu, he felt an indescribable fear in his heart.
He always felt that he couldn't even keep this one.
This person should be with him!
He suddenly didn't want the prince to die.
The prince is not dead, there are still many bonds between him and Ran Qinggu.
As long as the crown prince is alive, then Ran Qinggu owes him his life.
If the crown prince dies, what will he do to keep Ran Qinggu?
