CHAPTER XXXI

Zhang Guifei entered the palace at the age of thirteen and gave birth to Vimo at the age of fourteen. How much she suffered when she conceived this child, only she knows. But before she could take a look at Vimo, Vimo was taken away. Even she herself was almost one step away from being left by the Shen family. If it weren't for the careful care of the Son of Heaven, the trees on her grave would be hugged now. Her brother said that the Shen family was kind to her - the Shen family may indeed be kind to the Zhang family, but they can only be mean to her.

However, she never showed any resentment and disrespect to the Shen family, the queen and even the little Shen family because of this. For what? It's not because Vimo is raised under their knees, she is afraid that Vimo will be wronged because of this!

Over the years, everyone in the palace thought she was stupid and easy to provoke. can be her life experience, even if her qualifications are poor, how stupid can she be? What's more, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, would he really favor her as a stupid person? She's not really stupid, she's just selling stupidity to protect herself.

Under the seemingly beautiful circumstances, only she knows how difficult and careful she is to live.

But in the end, Vimo still couldn't understand her painstaking efforts.

But Zhang Guifei knew that she couldn't hate him—because she really didn't raise him, and she couldn't even make him understand that she loved him. Who made her come from a humble background!

has such a biological mother as him, but she has been raised to be a pure child of a family, and she has to gain fame and recognition in Shilin. Vimo probably felt a lot more grievances than her...... Others may not understand Vimo's grievances, but where would Zhang Guifei and Zhang Hua not understand. After all, what the Zhang family has been striving for in the past ten years is only the word "origin".

This time, she was slapped in the face by her own son, and Zhang Guifei would not be slumped, but for a while, she was indeed shocked and disheartened.

She knew that after this day, she was afraid that this joke would spread all over the palace again.

However, he didn't want to be entangled for a while, so he only said to Liu, "Since he said so, my sister-in-law should not have such a nephew...... I don't have the face to keep you anymore. He immediately ordered someone to send Liu out of the palace, and he also turned around and left.

Although Liu said for her husband that "it doesn't matter if your family suffers some grievances", she was so disgusted, of course, she couldn't help but feel cold and annoyed. He had nothing to say, and only quietly obediently arranged to leave.

In a moment, there were only four juniors left in the empty imperial garden.

――It's not that you have to stay and join in the fun.

It's just that she came late, and she didn't understand the cause and effect, and she didn't even hear what Vimo said, so she saw her eldest brother lose his temper inexplicably. After greeting Vimo, before he could ask or explain anything, Vimo said goodbye and left.

When she turned around to say goodbye to Zhang Ben, she saw Zhang Ben's eyes full of anger and seemed to be a little dazed. I was stunned for a moment.

Xu Yi is also in a similar situation to her.

After all, they didn't even recognize Liu, and Xu Yi didn't even recognize Zhang Guifei. They stood a little farther away, and of course could not guess anything from that few words.

Therefore, the time to leave was delayed.

Zhang Ben understood everything - he was not as focused on each other as Ruyi and Xu Yi, and when he saw his aunt in front of him from a distance, he had already paid attention. Naturally, I heard the eldest prince's sentence "My uncle's family is Wuxing Shen's family, and I don't know anything else" clearly.

He was furious when he saw his mother being despised in person. But thinking of the efforts made by the family to support the eldest prince, Zhang Ben felt at a loss.

-- Even if the eldest prince said so, his family would naturally stand on the side of the eldest prince. Because they think they are the maternal uncle of the eldest prince.

But in fact, even if the eldest prince is canonized as the crown prince, and even ascends the throne in the future, what good will it be for his family?

Although the eldest prince was born to his aunt, he was the nephew of Wu Xing Shen in his bones. He relied on the family, and naturally he would only support the family in the future. He looks down on the Shu clan, how can he change the fate of his family? On the contrary, it is the second prince, the real nephew of the family, who can treat him politely.

In this case, why should he continue to stand on the side of the Great Prince? After all, even the eldest prince himself said that the Zhang family was not his relatives at all.

After all, Zhang Ben is young, and he is proud to have such a noble and outstanding cousin since he was a child, and he is always self-motivated. Therefore, he couldn't figure out these thoughts for a while, so he just stood there stunned.

When Liu saw him and sent the maid next to him to call him, he finally came back to his senses. glanced at Liuli in a complicated mood, said goodbye to Ruyi and Xu Yi, and left in a hurry.

Liuli's mind is much simpler and more direct than his.

She only felt pain in her face, as if she had been slapped in the face by Vimo - her own brother, like the people who had bullied her in the kindergarten for months, looked down on her mother's mother, and must have looked down on her aunt and her.

What she had stubbornly resisted for so long was all slapped back by Vimo's words.

She has not reached the age of her mother, and she has not suffered from the hardships that her mother has suffered. She doesn't know how to put herself in her shoes, and she doesn't know how to be mellow and patient. She was just so angry that she couldn't catch up with Vimo and grab him and ask him who he thought he had born!

But no matter how delicate she is, she knows what she can and can't do.

She finally put down her temper and went back to the Chengxiang Hall first.

turned around and saw Ruyi and Xu Yi blocking the road, she seemed to be a little concerned about Shang Ruyi, and with innocent and incomprehensible eyes, the anger that she could barely suppress exploded again.

"Get out of here!"

She was annoyed with Ruyi, and Ruyi was not angry with her.

Ruyi felt that this sister simply didn't know how to do it - in the kindergarten she was often helping Liuli out of the siege a moment ago, and when she turned around, she was abused and questioned. That's it, when Ruyi helped her, she didn't expect her to repay the favor, just to do her sisterhood. But Liuli left that sentence before leaving, causing her to face the crisis of identity exposure, and it is likely that she will break the conditions agreed between the Son of Heaven and her, and she will not be able to continue studying. This one is not something that she can really let go of immediately if she doesn't care about it.

She's angry, too.

If Liuli said it a little politely, Ruyi must have complied. After all, the atmosphere is delicate at the moment, and Zhang Ben and Xu Yi are still here, so she doesn't want to quarrel with Liuli face to face.

But for the word "get out", it will be difficult to obey fate.

She simply ignored it.

If Ruyi jumps like thunder, Liuli may feel better in her heart, but she still looks too lazy to pay attention to her. The clarity in those peach blossom eyes is disdain.

…… Ruri only felt that a string in her brain was slamming and it was broken.

She was almost verbally abusive, "What are you proud of!" What do you think you are, and you come to make fun of me? You wild seed! ”

Bastard...... As expected, you said it.

This word has always lingered vaguely around her all year round. She can clearly hear people saying this, but when she cares and wants to find out, she always can't hear it accurately and can't find it.

But at this moment, Ruyi finally realized that the word that those people said was indeed her.

She suddenly understood why she was so angry with Zhang Ben in the first place - at that time, she clearly knew Zhang Ben's difficulties, understood that this was a helpless move, but why she was uncharacteristically unable to treat him with a normal heart.

Because she vaguely saw herself from Zhang Ben, she was actually anxious about her predicament and self-loathing.

It's just an unscrupulous insult under Liuli's anger, and obviously you don't have to take it seriously at all......

But Ruyi's eyes were red in an instant. The thorns in her body also opened, and almost immediately she stubbornly raised her head, looked directly at Liuli arrogantly, and retorted, "You can't compare to me everywhere." I'm a wild seed, aren't you even as good as a wild seed! ”

Both of these girls are extremely intelligent and perceptive in nature. Once there is a heart hurting someone, every sentence can poke at the most painful place of the person.

There was a buzz in Liuli's head, and almost before he could react, he slapped it.

Ruyi was defenseless, but after all, she had practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her reaction was extremely agile, and she even retreated to dodge. Liuli didn't fan it anymore, only her fingertips swept to the corners of her mouth. Ruyi's mouth was fishy, and the corners of her mouth had been broken, but she pursed her lips tightly and refused to reveal it. And Liuli had also gone crazy, seeing that Ruyi dared to dodge and really dodged, she became more and more angry, and immediately slapped again.

After all, she is a year older than Yiyi, and the road in the imperial garden is tortuous, the grass and trees are deep, and Ruyi finally can't avoid it.

Xu Yi stepped forward and grabbed Liuli's wrist, and said angrily, "Enough is enough!" ”

Liuli was angry at the moment, and gave Xu Yi a slap with her backhand, "Get out!" ”

Xu Yi didn't dodge.

Fortunately, when the glass fan passed, she finally realized that it was Xu Yi, and her previous anger was interrupted, and she suddenly came to her senses and retracted her strength in time. However, the castration was urgent, and the slap finally slapped up.

Obviously, the hand is very light, but Liuli only feels that the palm of his hand is burned. Realizing that she had shown such an unbearable side in front of Xu Yi, her tears immediately welled up.

Xu Yi's eyes were cold, and there was clearly some ridicule - she was a princess, so he put up with her slap, but it was over.

When Liuli met his gaze, he realized that it was irretrievable.

- This person is real, and I don't like her from the bottom of my heart.

Tears rippled in her eyes, and she fell in love with someone for the first time after her love first opened, and she died so headless and tailless. She couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, she just wanted to cry.

But she is also a little ruthless in not doing anything, and she has already lost face in front of the person she likes, although she can't hold back her tears, she still has to be tough to the end, and reprimanded, "I'll teach my sister a lesson, what do you do!" ”

Xu Yi looked down at her and said slowly, "She's not just your sister. ”

He said it implicitly, and there seemed to be many meanings in his words, but the first thing that Liuli could think of was "he had a marriage contract with Ruyi". She was also acutely aware almost immediately—that perhaps this was what he was proclaiming.

Liuli was extremely ashamed and jealous, and snatched her wrist back and held it in her arms. It was too miserable to flee like this, so she gritted her teeth and cursed, "You may not be able to do it either!" ”

Then he turned around and ran away.

It happened too fast - and too unexpected. Since the founding of the dynasty, there have always been princes and princesses in the palace, but for more than 20 years, this is the first time that they have encountered quarrels and beatings.

The palace ladies were defenseless, and when they finally reacted, it seemed that Liuli beat Ruyi and Xu Yi one after another. They didn't dare to pull the glass, but they felt guilty about pulling Xu Yi and Ruyi, so they didn't contribute very much.

At this moment, the matter was finally over, and they each followed their masters, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yi turned around and looked at Ruyi.

He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

In the end, I could only say, "...... Go home. ”

Ruyi held back her tears and nodded, she was speechless, and she could only be silent.

Xu Yi sent her back to the Ciqiu Palace.

He knew that Ruyi must have a lot to ask Xu Si, so he stayed for a short time and left almost immediately.

However, after going out for a long time, I still can't feel at ease.

Fortunately, when Aunt Zhai came back, he met him on the way, so he told Aunt Zhai, "She was beaten by Princess Shuyang, and she was scolded as a ...... 'wild seed'." I don't think she will take the initiative to tell Sù Niangniang about this, but I am afraid that Niangniang will deal with it according to the earlier method, then she will be too ......" He paused, and for a moment he felt sorry for his powerlessness, and said, "Please also ask my aunt to tell Niangniang on my behalf." ”

Aunt Zhai was stunned for a moment, as if she was hesitating whether to respond. Xu Yi asked, "Is there any inconvenience for my aunt?" ”

Aunt Zhai immediately came back to her senses and finally nodded, "I wrote it down, and I will tell Sù Niangniang." ”

Ruyi really didn't say anything to Xu Si, returned to the hall to greet Xu Si, and silently went back to his room.

But she clearly looked like she had just cried, and her mood was unusually low, how could Xu Si not notice it? He questioned the maids beside Ruyi.

Where do the maids dare to say that Ruyi was scolded by Liuli as a "wild seed"? only elaborated on how Liuli almost exposed Ruyi's identity in public, and how Ruyi broke the eldest prince's rudeness to his biological mother and uncle, which made Liuli angry. He also said that the two sisters quarreled fiercely. As for the fact that Liuli was annoyed and angry and beat Ruyi - because Ruyi dodged in time, they felt that they should not have hit, so they also vaguely carried it. After all, it was their big fault that they really let their masters be big.

The cause and effect of what they said were clear, and Xu Si was not very confused. I just feel that I'm afraid that the two sisters said a lot of excessive things when they quarreled, maybe Liuli was almost going to do it.

―― How did Xu Si not know her temperament about her own daughter?

She thought that this quarrel was not a quarrel, but she was afraid that Ruyi was trying to reason again, but Liuli was just angry, and even scolded him arrogantly.

Xu Si's heart was also very heavy.

She raised Ruyi to be sensible and upright, but she couldn't give Ruyi a fair place. This is actually quite a cruel thing - she tells the child what is right, but she allows her to go around on the right path and live in a reversal of right and wrong.

But she still wants to send Ruyi to a normal environment. She doesn't want to live an easier life for Ruyi at the moment, and will raise Ruyi into a soft bone that does not distinguish between right and wrong, and forgets profit and righteousness.

So every time she tactfully asked for forgiveness, patience, evasion, and self-preservation, she felt extremely heavy and guilty. It's as if she's become the kind of person she hates.

But these words must be said by her to Ruyi.
