Li Yi was born in the spring when the grass grew and the warbler flew, full of the expectations of his mother's true concubine. Before Li Yi, Concubine Zhen had a miscarriage, died a child, and later gave birth to a daughter, and she was extremely looking forward to giving birth to an heir again.

It is conceivable how Li Yi's birth made Concubine Zhen ecstatic, the point is that he is a male baby. Similarly, His Majesty, the Emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, looked very happy, and at the full moon ceremony of his son, Chrysostom Yuyan gave the seventh son the name "Yi".

Yi, the meaning of beauty, but, refers to the woman's moral words and deeds.

So the real concubine was unhappy, she was obviously born a boy, why did Her Majesty point to such a name? Look, it's really a good word, but why is it like a stone pressing on her heart? She was worried, thinking about everything, pondering His Majesty's mind all day long.

Li Yi looked at Zong Zhengke and said lightly: "Because my father doesn't want my mother to conceive a male fetus at all!" The mother concubine is a personal disciple of Tianyi Zhenzong, and she has a grandfather with such a respected status as Tianyi Zhenren. The father and emperor originally took advantage of the power of Tianyi Zhenzong to ascend the throne as the emperor, so he naturally didn't want his son to use the power of Tianyi Zhenzong to compete with him for power in the future. ”

Zong Zhengke sighed faintly and said in a low voice: "Tianyi True Sect is not as transcendent as the Buddha Kingdom of the East China Sea, but has many layouts in secular countries. As far as I know, many powerful people in Great Qi and Great Wei had a close relationship with the Tianyi True Sect, worshipping Taoist masters at home and performing very respectful manners. ”

Li Yi smiled, after all, he was the teacher who raised him, and there were some things that he knew, but it was hard to criticize. He continued to tell about his life experience: "The mother concubine saw that my father seemed to like me, but in fact he was not close. Before me. My mother once gave birth to my sister to my father, and my father really hurt my sister in his bones. ”

He paused, stared down at his own reflection in the spiritual spring, and only after a moment did he whisper: "When I was four years old, I had a strange poison in my body. My mother invited my maternal great-grandfather, Tianyi Zhenren, and took me to Tianyi Zhenzong. ”

Zong Zhengke was taken aback, because Li Yi lowered his head. She couldn't see his expression. But from his suddenly somewhat shrunken figure, I guessed that there was a deep inside story about his poisoning. Li Yi ...... Don't be upset. She could only comfort him dryly.

Li Yi raised his head, although there was a faint smile on his face. But the smile was full of sadness. He took a deep breath and said sadly, "How can you not be sad? Although I have parents, I have never been loved by them wholeheartedly. I'm just an ordinary man, not a ruthless immortal. I have a heart made of flesh, and of course I will be sad and sad. ”

"The person who poisoned me was the palace concubine who hated her mother's favor. Afterwards, the palace concubine was beaten into the cold palace, and the mother concubine called her henchman to strangle her. But I still know that this palace concubine is going to give me poison. The mother knew in advance. His tone became indifferent, "Father and Emperor have always boasted of being wise and martial, and nothing in the huge country of the Eastern Tang Dynasty could escape his eyes. He also knew about it! ”

"It's just because I'm afraid that my storage will make my father dislike it from now on, and it's just because I'm afraid that my storage will give Tianyi Zhenzong more opportunities to interfere in the political situation of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and threaten his rule. The mother and father both acquiesced that I could die, I should die! Li Yi smiled sadly and asked Zong Zhengke, "Ah Ke, you say, should I be sad?" ”

Zong Zhengke got up, waded to Li Yi in the spiritual spring, put his head into his arms, gently patted his back, and said in a low voice: "Li Yi, you don't have to take the past to heart anymore, it will make you sad." You just laugh it off as if they were inconsequential strangers. ”

Li Yi silently hugged Zong Zhengke, the girl's body was warm and sweet, comforting his heart that was slightly cold because of the gloomy past. In fact, they are all poor people, they don't have the same fate, but they have the same fortune.

"Later, I stayed in Tianyi True Sect and was accepted as a closed disciple by my maternal great-grandfather." Li Yi's voice became brisk, obviously his life in Tianyi True Sect was quite pleasant.

"There are many great sects, and there are many people with extraordinary backgrounds. Several of my senior brothers and sisters are from the big countries in the world, and although they treat me fairly well in the face of the master, they are also wary of me, for fear that the master will hand over the inheritance of the Tianyi True Palace to me. Li Yi smiled helplessly.

"The reason why I don't care about cultivation is also because I can reassure a few senior brothers. Master always hated me because he really wanted to hand over the inheritance of Tianyi True Palace to me. Li Yi sighed, hugged Zong Zhengke tighter, and muttered, "But in addition to a few senior brothers, Master also has many blood juniors, and I am just one of his many great-grandchildren. ”

"I don't want to embarrass Master, and I don't want to embarrass myself!" Li Yi suddenly sneered and said mockingly, "But at this moment, the concubine sent me a message again, asking me to go home!" ”

Lest it be detrimental to Li Yi's wounds, Zong Zhengke let go of him, sat down next to him, reached over and held his hand tightly. Li Yi looked at her sideways, her expression was calm, as if she had returned to the past.

"Home? Is that my home? Li Yi said with a smile, "From the time I went to Tianyi Zhenzong when I was more than four years old, until the letter from my mother, for ten years in between, my mother didn't say a word, and suddenly remembered me and told me to go home." ”

"Are you back?" Despite asking so, Zong Zhengke knew that Li Yi must have gone back.

Li Yi nodded and said sadly: "It's better not to go back!" It turned out that my father was forty years old, and my mother said that the family was reunited, but in fact," he said gloomily, "I want other palace concubines to know that her youngest son Li Xin and I, the elder brother of the Tianyi True Sect's personal disciple, should not be underestimated." ”

"Presumably, after your father is really in power, he will allow your mother to give birth to your younger brother, right?" Zong Zhengke guessed that she had seen this kind of thing more than once when she traveled to the mainland.

"Yes! Therefore, Li Xin is the real son of his father and mother, and I, the son who is deeply involved with Tianyi Zhenzong, has been abandoned. Li Yi said indifferently, "The mother concubine has been in the palace for many years, and she is only focused on her father, and she even forgot that she was also a disciple of Tianyi Zhenzong, and she was deeply nurtured and taught by her master!" After so many years, she is now just the true concubine of the Eastern Tang Emperor. ”

"Oh no, I heard that at the end of this year, my father will seal the six palaces, and she may be promoted again. And her ambitions are far more than that, she also thinks that I can help Li Xin win the throne, and she can become the queen mother! Li Yi suddenly laughed, leaning back and forth with a smile, repeating while laughing, "Emperor...... Dowager! Emperor...... Queen Mother, haha! (To be continued.) )
