CHAPTER XXV

Of course, Ruyi will not dismantle Liuli's origin.

But the malice from her sister still made her feel a little breathless.

It seems that no matter what she says or does, the relatives on her father's side, whether it is the Son of Heaven himself or this half-sister, will always give her the blame and accuse her of being unreasonable.

And her aunt never seemed to see this, and always told her - stay away from them, don't worry about them. In particular, don't clash head-on.

When she was young, she didn't notice anything unusual.

But since she entered the kindergarten, she has had more contact with her peers, and she has seen more about how the contradictions between her peers are resolved, and she has heard many words that she can't hear in the Ciqiu Palace, and gradually realized that maybe the problem really lies with her.

Maybe she is the one who is abnormal in this "family", which is why she is treated so abnormally.

This anxiety of knowing that she had a problem, but not knowing what was wrong, combined with the reproaches that came from time to time like a sword and a sword, made her feel breathless.

But at least in one thing, she and Ruri are sisters.

- Stubborn.

The more sad you are, the more breathless you are, the more you have to make yourself bright and fresh, be flawless where you know the advantages and disadvantages, and live a vivid and hearty life faster than others. At least let those who love her and treat her well not be sad and depressed because of her. At least don't make yourself look pathetic.

The two sisters competed in their own styles.

However, Liuli is obviously more difficult to think - after all, Ruyi is more about competing with herself, but Liuli is openly competing with almost all of her classmates.

She let out the words "I have the ability to debunk me", and everyone naturally realized that her identity was hidden.

Although she didn't dare to guess that she was the princess of the dynasty for a while, who would dare to declare "Look at your dignity or my honor"? What's more, she is also related to Zhang Ben.

It's just enough to openly make fun of Zhang Hua -- first, Zhang Hua did do ugly things that were ridiculous and generous, and second, they were still children, and they couldn't seriously deal with them. What's more, Zhang Hua is just the elder brother of the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven after all, and the Son of Heaven has always not listened to the wind on the pillow and lifted up his relatives.

But offending a genuine royal family, especially someone who has been canonized, is another matter.

The so-called bullying of the soft and fear of the hard, everyone does not dare to have any excessive behavior.

But after all, they are all arrogant people, and it is impossible to stop like this. He began to deliberately avoid and isolate them, not to speak to them, to turn a blind eye to them, to hear them.

At first, Liuli was still proud, thinking that these people really didn't have the courage to fight her head-on.

But Zhang Ben only smiled wryly - he couldn't explain to this pampered little cousin that there was a kind of bullying among children, called "not taking you to play". Compared with mutual bullying, this kind of cold violence is more ruthless, because you can at least resist the former, and you can let others understand your character in resistance.

But now, he is afraid that he will not be able to change the situation.

And as time goes on, even Ruri begins to realize that she's made their situation worse.

Instead of correcting them, those people have intensified them. It's just that they changed their methods, so that she couldn't use her strength.

When the doctors talked about the chapter on Shao Gong's admonition to King Li's slander, when she read the words "The people of the country dare not speak, and the road is eye-catching", she suddenly thought irritably, King Li was so complacent about this, could it be that he didn't know that he had cut himself off from the people?

But even killing and slander can't stop slander, and what can she do to change the status quo.

Ruri became more and more disgusted with going to school, and refused to give in with a sigh of relief.

On this day, Xu Yi finally found the opportunity and asked his father about Liuli's life experience.

Xu Mao was originally dealing with letters sent from various places, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but stop for a while. After a while, he threw away all the rest of the chores and raised his hand to signal Xu Yi to sit down and speak.

"I originally planned to tell you about this matter in a few years, but since you asked, I can't hide it from you anymore."

Xu Mao's tone was quite stern, but it made Xu Yi a little nervous - he thought, it seems that Ruyi's life experience is more heavy than he imagined, but he is afraid that it is not only those he heard when he was a child.

Sure enough, Xu Mao didn't cut to the chase directly, but asked first, "Do you know Li Hu?" ”

Xu Yi shook his head at first, and then suddenly remembered something, "King of Henan...... Li Hu? ”

Xu Mao said, "That's him." After a moment, he sighed, "...... Unexpectedly, ten years after the defeat, there are still children who know his name as the king of Henan. ”

Xu Yi knew that something was wrong - since he knew Li Hu, the king of Henan, of course he knew that this person was a traitor.

Li Hu was originally an important minister of the Northern Dynasty, started with military merits, and sealed the history of Yuzhou. Later, somehow he fell out with the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, and then led his troops to surrender to the country. He has been running Henan for a long time, and he has a strong generation in Runan and Yingchuan, and is known as the king of Henan. The Son of Heaven also named him the king of Henan. Li Hu's subordinates have a tiger and wolf journey, fierce and brave, once slaughtered tens of thousands of people in a war, even the ordinary people did not let go. Runan children cry at night, and the adults threaten "the king of Henan will come to take you". The reason why Xu Yi knew such a person was precisely because there was a Runan person in her classmate when she was studying in Xiangxian.

Could it be that wishful thinking has something to do with this person?

Xu Mao recalled, "Back then, Li Hu led his troops to surrender, and the four counties of Henan returned. The Son of Heaven was Yuzhou, and because he was motivated to be the vanguard of the Northern Expedition, he treated him very favorably. He didn't know from whom he heard about your aunt's reputation, and he insisted on marrying your aunt, and the Son of Heaven ordered your aunt to marry......"

Xu Yi didn't say a word, just listened quietly.

Xu Mao continued, "But the Northern Expedition failed one after another, and soon after, the Son of Heaven negotiated peace with the Northern Dynasty and ordered Li Hu to return to the Dynasty. He is ruthless by nature, and he has the appearance of a hawk and a wolf, and he is not a safe person. The Son of Heaven moved his people, changed his army, and tried to overthrow him. Before long, Li Hu took the opportunity to leave Chang'an under the pretext of hunting, and rebelled. ”

Xu Yi's throat tightened a little, "That aunt, she-"

"Naturally, he was left in Chang'an, not only your aunt, but also the old and young families of the Li family were all left in Chang'an, so the Son of Heaven did not notice his rebellion in time." Xu Mao said, "...... By that time, your aunt was pregnant. ”

"Ruyi She ......"

"-- it's the widow." After explaining clearly, Xu Mao rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Fortunately, it's a girl, and the Son of Heaven can still tolerate her." and knew that he had treated your aunt badly, so he regarded Ruyi as his own child, and was named a princess at birth. ”

Xu Yi thought to herself, if she is biological, she is naturally non-biological. No matter how good it is, it's another thing to do.

But no matter how bad it is, it is better than her biological father, who is ruthless and cold by nature, and actually discarded his wife and children to death-this girl's father-daughter relationship is really unlucky.

Xu Mao said, "It is impossible for the Son of Heaven to expose these things himself, so I have never sued you." This incident does not affect Ruyi's identity. You-"

Xu Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "Whether she is born to the Son of Heaven or not, she is my aunt's daughter and my cousin." However, for his former uncle and real father-in-law, whom he had never met, Xu Yi did not hide his intention of fearing his immortality, "Has Li Hu been ambushed?" The son heard the Runan people mention him as if he were still alive. ”

Xu Mao smiled and sighed, "Naturally, he is dead - but he is famous, so the rebellions in Henan in the early years were all under his name." However, in recent years, the world has become more and more stable and prosperous, and the generation of Runan and Yingchuan has long been dissenting. In the past, Li Hu's subordinates were also divided. Even if Li Hu is reborn, it will be difficult to make any noise. How much more are the fakes. ”

Xu Yi nodded slowly.

He saw that Xu Yi had already started to browse the letters again, so he turned to ask, "This time the Confucian debate, will Daddy go?" ”

Xu Mao read the letter with ten lines at a glance and two hearts, and sighed casually, "It's just to marry someone...... but after a while, he still said, "I still have to go." ”

Xu Yi soon understood why his father wanted to sigh that the "Confucian Debate" was to marry others.

In the winter solstice month of this year, the eldest prince sent a letter to the Son of Heaven, requesting that the Confucian Temple be rebuilt in front of the palace, and at the same time recruiting Confucian students from all over the world to give lectures in Beijing to inherit the classics.

Gathering Confucianism and Debate - It is actually another initiative of the great prince to fight for his own fame after the construction of Linggu Temple.

The Son of Heaven couldn't help but complain to Xu Si, "This is forcing me to give way!" ”

Although he hated it, the Son of Heaven was not unaware of who was forcing whomβ€”he was close to knowing the Mandate of Heaven, and the eldest prince was fifteen years old and had presided over many affairs...... Isn't it extremely cruel to his son?

In the wax moon, the eldest prince had a cold again-originally he wanted to get through it, so as not to be truthful again. However, in the past six months, I have been exhausted, no matter how tired my mind is, I still showed my deeds in front of the Son of Heaven.

When the Son of Heaven saw that his face was pale and crumbling, but he refused to show weakness, he somehow felt a little guilty in his heart, and forced him to go back and rest earlier.

At night, he suddenly remembered the look he had looked back at before leaving, and he couldn't sleep again.

He asked Xu Si, "Are I really too cruel to Vimo?" ”

Xu Si was silent for a moment, put a quilt on him, and said, "What do you say?" ”

The Son of Heaven sighed, "Some people say that I am delaying my decision because I am waiting for Vimo to die of illness himself, so that I can be canonized as I wishβ€”"

Xu Si hugged him into his arms and said, "Don't say it." ”

The Son of Heaven turned his back and said, "I don't know if Vimo has listened to these nonsense......

But whether this is nonsense or not, even the Son of Heaven himself cannot justify itβ€”because he is weak and sickly, so he delays the canonization, is not waiting for him to die on his own so that he can make way out?

As the Son of Heaven, he knows that he is not optimistic about Erlang just because of his personal love.

But in the long-term mistreatment of Vimotian, his side as a father finally woke up.
