Chapter 209: Beauty Chasing the Moon

In the distance, the mountains are undulating and the clouds are entwined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNearby, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the purple and red, and the pink butterfly flies. Dozens of fast horses surrounded an ordinary mule cart and were galloping in the direction of Xinye City.

In the rickety mule cart, Yu Xi was lying in a state of unconsciousness with a thick strip of cloth wrapped around his head.

He was hot, his cheeks were red as drunk, and fine beads of sweat were constantly coming out of his forehead, and he looked rather haggard. Despite this, it is still difficult to hide his beautiful and romantic appearance.

Hua Liyue rode to the mule cart and lifted the curtain to take a look. Dashuang, who was taking care of Yu Xi, raised his eyes when he heard the movement, and shook his head at her silently, indicating that he still showed no signs of soberness.

Hua Lianyue sighed slightly, and had to put down the curtain helplessly.

Liu Hui rode side by side with her, leaving nothing to do, so she asked out loud: "I think that although this Seventh Prince is a little more outstanding, he has a soft temperament and has no quarrel with the world. is not the son of the old Northern Hades King, and it is said that he has no interests with his royal brothers. Why did this Hahiro go to such great lengths to build such a hidden place and imprison him?"

Liu Hui smiled lightly and said, "This Seventh Prince is ruined by his appearance that is more beautiful than a woman, because he wants to hide him as a forbidden body, except for Yu Guang and Yu Yuan." ”

Hua Lianyue sighed in her heart, and she said incredulously: "Could it be that Yu Guang and Yu Yuan have such dirty thoughts about him?"

"It's not just filthy, it's ridiculous. It's not so much that this civil war in the North Underworld is for Ulolan, it's for the throne. It's better to compete for this handsome and innocent Seventh Prince!" Liu Hui hooked his lips and sneered, but the words that came out of his mouth made Hua Lianyue feel a chill.

Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue talked about this long-standing secret in the royal family of the Northern Underworld, and the rush was the most boring, but now that there is a story to hear, Hua Lianyue naturally can't ask for it.

In fact, it is said to be a secret, but it can't escape the eyes of people with a heart. came and went, watched coldly, and there were many people who tasted the taste. However, in view of the fact that the protagonist is a royal heir with a valuable status, most of them are secretly spread in private, but they are not put on the surface, so there are more apocryphal elements.

However, Ji Huang has a team of secret agents who are responsible for exploring the privacy of various prefectures, so eighty percent of the first-hand information he got is the truth of the matter.

This secret story has been traced back to more than 20 years ago, starting with Yu Xi's biological mother.

According to the news from the secret agent, Yu Xi's biological mother's surname is Zheng. The Zheng family is not a lonely and nameless common person in the Northern Underworld, but a dignified county lord and the daughter of the Hou Mansion of Eastern Qin.

It is said that the Zheng family is both talented and beautiful, and at the age of thirteen, he moved the world with his piano and dance skills. At that time, there were countless kings and grandsons who worshiped under her pomegranate skirt, and even the old king of the North Hades, who was in the prime of life at the time, was also amazed and moved after seeing her a moon-chasing dance at the palace banquet.

It's a pity that the Zheng family made a marriage contract with Li Heng, the prince of Wei at that time, although there are countless young talents who secretly love her, they can only watch her being carried into the big red sedan chair of the Wei State Mansion lively.

is a pair of talented men and women, but Li Heng is a blessed one. Only three days after they got married, they fell off a frightened horse during a wild hunt. His lower back hit a hard rock, and he was unconscious in the lower half of his body and never stood up again.

At that time, Zheng's was sixteen years old, which was the age of youth and young flowers. Before tasting the taste of being newly married, he lived a life of widowhood. Not only did she have to serve the decoction and scrub her body every day, but even her clothes were cut off from bright colors, and she blindly showed people in plain clothes and plain faces. Otherwise, they will be labeled as not abiding by women's morals by the Wei family.

Although he was widowed, Zheng had a good relationship with his husband. Her husband could not walk, but he had hands and a nimble brain. The two played chess, painted, recited poetry, and even went on an outing together in a carriage.

Zheng originally thought that he would be able to accompany his husband until he grew old, but he didn't expect Li Heng's younger brother Li Xiu to think about this sister-in-law who was wearing plain clothes, but was becoming more and more glamorous.

I thought that the Zheng family had been guarding Li Heng, a living dead man, for five years, and he would be lonely and unbearable, and he could take the bait as long as he hooked his fingers. Who knew that Zheng not only refused, but also angrily reprimanded him, and scratched his face in the entanglement before forcing him back.

It's a pity that the Zheng family is thin-skinned, and for the sake of the face of the Guogong Mansion, he didn't make a public announcement of this matter, and he secretly swallowed it.

Who knew that Li Xiu was a person who would repay him, and he lost face in front of the Zheng family, and he already held a grudge. Coupled with Li Heng's position as the son, he carefully planned a shocking conspiracy.

Later, in time for the festival, the Wei Mansion set up a stage according to the usual practice, and invited the famous opera troupe in the capital to sing in the mansion. Although Boss Ye of the troupe is a man, he is deeply liked by the masters of various prefectures in the capital because of his extremely beautiful appearance, profound singing skills, and extraordinary skills.

Zheng is also a fan of his opera, when he was in the Hou Mansion before, he often went to the restaurant with his little sister to listen to Boss Ye sing, and he was also familiar with Boss Ye.

So Li Xiu secretly designed to lead Boss Ye to Zheng's bedroom, and let the maids in the family bump into him, so the news of Zheng's adultery with Boss Ye soon spread in the house.

Although the elders in the mansion had a slight remark, Li Heng believed in the chastity of the Zheng family and scoffed at such rumors. In order to confirm his innocence, the Zheng family simply didn't even go out of the courtyard gate, and only accompanied Li Heng every day, never leaving half a step.

Who knew that after this incident, Li Heng's health became worse and worse, and he even vomited blood and fainted. I don't know how many doctors I have seen, but there is no improvement at all.

Wei Guogong still felt sorry for his hard-working eldest son, so he secretly invited a witch doctor to enter the mansion in order to find out the truth. As a result, the witch doctor found that Li Heng was poisoned by chronic poison, and he would gradually decline.

As a result, Zheng, who was with Li Heng day and night, but was unclear with Boss Ye, became the biggest suspect.

After a large search led by Li Xiu, the unused poison was found from under Zheng's box. Wei Guogong was furious and imprisoned Zheng. Who knew that night, Li Heng died because he was poisoned too deeply, and he was convicted of Zheng's murder of his husband.

If such an ugly thing is publicized, Wei Guogong's face will be lost. In the midst of intense grief, Wei Guogong actually planned to use the Zheng family for burial. Of course, Li Xiu, who had been spying on the Zheng family for a long time, secretly played the trick of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix into a phoenix, and secretly exchanged the Zheng family.

Li Xiu thought that he could be beautiful this time, and the rights were both in his pocket, but who knew that the Zheng family was waiting for an opportunity to escape from him. Zheng, who was originally like a frightened bird, wanted to go back to his mother's house for help, only to know that Wei Guogong actually wrote to the imperial court and specially asked for the title of festival woman for her.

The Zheng family was proud of having such a festival woman in the family, how could they accept the fact that she was still alive. Not only did he refuse to help her, but he almost caught her and sent her back to the Wei Mansion.

It was also a coincidence that the Zheng family met Boss Ye who was invited to go to Xinye City in the North Hell to beg for a life in another escape. Boss Ye was soft-hearted and took in the Zheng family, letting her stay incognito in the troupe to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Zheng is a master of piano and dance, and he likes to listen to operas. So under the influence of the ears and eyes, they slowly became the pillar of the troupe, and they fell in love with Boss Ye for a long time, and under the witness of the entire troupe, they really became a couple.

Of course, Zheng only dared to sing on stage in the North Underworld.

Dongqin! and Beijing have become a lingering nightmare in her heart.

Originally, the couple hid in the North and lived a quiet life for two years, but unfortunately their identity as a drama was too lowly, and their appearance was too good, which still brought them a catastrophe after all.

Under the persecution of those powerful people, the troupe collapsed, and Boss Ye's life and death were unknown. Zheng was sent to the old North Hades King by mistake.

At that time, Zheng had just become pregnant with Boss Ye's child.

Folklore has it that the old North Hades King, who has always been deserted, is a holy favor to this lowly actor from Eastern Qin. Even if the woman is depressed and unhappy all day long, even if the woman is pregnant with someone else's child, she still can't stop the sudden enthusiasm of the old North Hades.

Because of the world-famous moon-chasing dance, the old king of the North personally gave the title of Mrs. Zheng's moon-chasing lady, and changed the palace where she lived to the moon-chasing palace.

The Old Northern Hades King even issued a ridiculous order, no matter who it was, as long as he could make the Lady of the Moon Chasing smile, he would be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. So the maids and eunuchs in the palace racked their brains and made a lot of jokes in order to get a reward of one hundred taels of gold.

It is said that there was once an imperial chef who made a dish of Eastern Qin cuisine and let Mrs. Chasing the Moon eat an extra bite, so this imperial chef not only received a reward of 1,000 taels of gold, but also became the head of the entire imperial kitchen. Even the kitchen eunuch who helped wash the vegetables at that time was promoted to the third level. As a joke, this incident was in the Northern Underworld, and even the people were in an uproar.

Fortunately, Mrs. Chasing the Moon doesn't like to smile, and it is more difficult for her to show a smile than to ascend to the sky. If it weren't for that, with the crazy nature of the old Northern Hades King, I was afraid that the entire treasury silver of the Northern Hades would be rewarded.

It's a pity that when the moon is full, it will be lost, and this lady who doesn't like to smile despite the favor of the deep Northern Hades King died of blood during childbirth.

Of course, the cause of Lady Moonchaser's death has always been a mystery. Some people say that God can't get used to her being too beautiful and flamboyant, so he accepted her life early.

Some people also say that it was because other wives couldn't get used to her getting this holy favor, so they secretly did something when she gave birth.

Some people also say that it is because she eats too well and has been pampered by the old Northern Hades King, resulting in the fetus in her belly being too big to be unable to give birth.

No matter what the reason is, after the mysterious and glamorous Lady Chasing the Moon passed away, it seems that the smile of the old Northern Hades King was also taken away. And the son born to Mrs. Chasing the Moon, because of his appearance of knowing her ninety percent, became the only consolation when the old Northern Hades King missed her.

It is said that before the age of ten, Yuxi dressed up as a girl. At that time, he often accompanied the old Northern Hades King, wearing a gorgeous long skirt woven of colorful silk threads, or a pink floor-length skirt that flowed like a fairy. Her inky hair was combed into a cute double bun. Even the ears are pierced and he wears glittering crystal earrings.

Whoever saw it at first sight would never have thought that under such a beautiful and luxurious dress, it was actually a thin body of a boy.

Those maids who served him, in order to cater to the old North Hades King's deformed heart, also taught him as a girl, and also painted him with grease and powder, eyebrows and eyes.

Until he was ten years old, he only rode sideways because he had always worn a long and complicated dress. On the other hand, he once accompanied the old North Hades King out hunting, and the horse raised its two front hooves to neigh because it was frightened, and easily threw Yu Xi off the horse.

At that time, Yu Xi would only sit on the ground and twist Xiao Man's waist and cry like a girl. And cocked his tail fingers, pinched his handkerchief to wipe away his tears. It also made his beautiful face, which was originally painted snow-white, mottled and dirty.

It is said that seeing this situation, the old North Hades King was stunned for a long time, and said to himself: "What kind of evil am I doing!"

In the days that followed, Yu Xi reverted to the boy's dress and took more riding and archery lessons. And after the old Northern Hades King replaced all the people who served in the Moon Chasing Palace, except for the death day of Mrs. Moon Chasing, he never asked Yu Xi to accompany him.

Hearing this, Hua Lianyue was a little embarrassed and a little confused: "It seems that it may not be a matter of pride if the complexion is too good, if you don't have enough strength to protect yourself, maybe you will become someone else's plaything, or even a ban." But these are the lives of Mrs. Chasing the Moon, what does it have to do with Yu Guang and Yu Yuan?"

Liu Hui sneered and said, "When Mrs. Chasing the Moon died, Yu Guang was already twelve. In the North Underworld, a thirteen-year-old boy can get married. The boy in the palace was already precocious, and it was not surprising that he had a secret affection for Mrs. Chasing the Moon, and finally spread this affection to Yu Xi. ”

The corners of Hua Lianyue's eyes twitched when she heard this, and she said with a smile: "Daring to spy on my father's wife at the age of twelve is really precocious." That Yu Yuan ......"

Liu Hui glanced at her: "Yu Yuan originally likes men, but he conceals it very well, and the entire Northern Underworld Court and the people all think that he is the most clean of all the princes." It is also because his backyard is very quiet, and there is no official lady, so Princess Wuluo Lan will be very satisfied with him. ”

Hua Lianyue covered her mouth violently and laughed: "If you wait until Wu Luolan really marries Yu Yuan, you will find that the men in his backyard are all his 'ladies' as long as they have a little appearance." And she has to compete with a group of men for favor every day, and I don't know what she will regret. ”

I can't think about it, I feel disgusting and ridiculous when I think about it. I also felt that Yu Xi's mother and son were too pitiful, and because of their excellent appearance, they suffered undeservedly.

Liu Hui couldn't help but lightly hit her head with a horsewhip, and said with a smile: "Nonsense again!"

He looked at the surging Xinye River in the distance, and said lightly: "Actually, the appearance is given by my father, no matter how beautiful or ugly, I have no right to complain." However, when appearance becomes a burden, you still have to work hard to make yourself strong in order to ensure that you will not be swayed by your appearance. ”

Hua Lianyue thought for a while and said, "That being said, everyone in the world wants to be as beautiful as possible, and no one wants to be ugly." After all, beauty is more likely to be a weapon, or a means, than ugliness. ”
