Chapter 147: The Prince and the King of Prayer
"Second cousin, if you don't say it, I'll ignore you!"
Lin Xiaojin deliberately made an angry look, twisted sideways, and turned his back with a bow and arrow.
"Sister Xiaojin..."
"It's useless to call grandma!"
"Grandpa Xiaojin?"
"Second cousin ???, can you be more serious!"
"Hey, tell me, what do you want to hear?"
A trace of helplessness flashed on Song Ziyu's face, and he raised his head and took a sip of clear wine.
Such an elegant wine is not enough to get drunk, but it makes him see the woman in front of him, which is even more moving.
"I want to hear about the crown prince and King Qi back then!"
Lin Xiaojin immediately turned around obediently, pursed his lips and smiled sweetly, like a begonia under the moon, beautiful and beautiful.
"This matter is complicated, and it has to start from the palace. The crown prince and the king were not born of the same mother. However, because of his mother, the queen died early. So he was raised under the name of His Majesty's favorite concubine and lived in Concubine Shu's Jade Xuan. And Concubine Shu is the biological mother of King Qi, so the prince and King Qi ate and lived together when they were young, and their relationship was closer than that of all princes. ”
"Then why did the crown prince and the king of prayer develop like that?"
"I heard that Concubine Shu is gentle and kind, and her love for the prince is far better than that of King Qi, and as King Qi gets older, he has a gap in his heart for the prince. Originally, it was nothing, but something happened later. is Liu Guifei, who often bullied Concubine Shu in the palace, and suddenly was extremely cruelly disfigured overnight. At that time, this incident shook the palace, and His Majesty was furious and ordered a strict investigation. No one expected that King Qi would come out and identify the prince as the prince. ”
"It's... And then did you punish the prince?"
The prince cried to Concubine Shu, trying his best to prove his innocence, but the evidence was insufficient. Concubine Shu was in front of His Majesty at that time, trying to protect the prince's innocence, and punished King Qi to be grounded in Cuiyuxuan and not allowed to go out. Unexpectedly, a month later, the investigation of this matter was fruitless, Liu Guifei moved to the cold palace because of her ruined appearance, and His Majesty's anger also subsided, and the matter was almost over. I never thought that Concubine Shu would ask His Majesty at this time to let King Qi move out of the imperial city. ”
"Why, why did Concubine Shu let King Qi move out of the imperial city?
"Who knows, probably Concubine Shu found something. His Majesty did not hesitate at all in this request, and directly approved it. Therefore, when King Qi was only twelve years old, he was crowned a prince and given a Kyoto mansion, and the palace of King Qi lived alone. This is an honor that all princes envy, but it also means that King Qi can no longer enter and leave the imperial city at will. He prematurely broke away from the status of the prince and became a minister. ”
"So King Qi has a grudge against the prince because of this incident? It sounds more like King Qi was kicked out of the palace, but it's actually quite pitiful. ”
"Whether King Qi hated the prince at that time, I don't know. I only heard that on the day when the king prayed for the king to leave the palace, Liu Guifei committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam in the cold palace. Therefore, it is difficult for outsiders to tell whether King Qi ruined Concubine Liu Guifei's appearance and blamed the prince, or whether the prince did this and pushed it on King Qi's head. With King Qi leaving the imperial city and Liu Guifei's death, this matter was no longer talked about, and few people knew about it. ”
"Second cousin, how do you know about such a secret thing?"
"Xiaojin, there are many things in this palace that you don't know. As for the dead, they die with secrets, and the living have to cover their mouths and keep the secrets in order to continue to live. Do you understand?"
A touch of desolation flashed in Song Ziyu's eyes, and he took a sip of sake, only to feel that his heart was dull.
