My name is Qi Hongrui, I am the fourth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I have lived in the East Four Institutes since I was a child, and there are groups of slaves around me, and I am protected by my grandmother and inner supervisors when I go in and out. But I slowly found out that the second brother, the third brother, the fifth brother and the sixth brother are all the same, and it turns out that my father doesn't just take care of my son like this.

Once when the second brother showed off the beautiful clothes and shoes made for him by his mother and a box of beautiful and attractive snacks in front of me, I looked at it in a daze, and I also thought of my own mother. So he secretly went to the palace of the concubine at night when no one was paying attention. Many years have passed, I still remember the look of my mother when she saw me, the surprise only appeared for a moment and even didn't have time to unfold, it turned into a panic, I only had time to call someone and was secretly sent back to the East Fourth Institute by the people around my mother, and when I came back, I saw a room of minions all with white faces, empty like a death row about to be executed.

The next day, my father's men took them away, and I was replaced by a new group of minions, and from then on, no matter where I went, there would never be less than two people, until a long, long time later, I understood why my father did not let me come into contact with my mother, or rather, not let all the princes come into contact with their own mothers.

Since that time, I have become sensible, listening to my grandmother's words, and listening to my grandmother say how prosperous our Great Zhou is, and how wise and powerful my father is. But every time I saw my father, my father just looked at me, his eyes were dark, like the dark well in the cold palace, so I didn't dare to look at it for a long time. My father didn't like to talk, and he didn't like to laugh, I hadn't seen my father laugh until I was four years old, and I thought my father couldn't laugh.

But in the summer when I was four years old, my second brother, third brother and fifth brother and sixth brother followed my father to a village, which was a very delicate manor, where I saw the carefully served gentleman's orchid in the imperial garden, as well as the lotus flowers in the imperial garden, the brilliant oleander, and the dazzling canna, although not as neat as the imperial garden, but it made people more comfortable, in his opinion, this garden is better than the imperial garden, at least there is no need to worry about hiding something in a dark corner. There, I saw my father's smile, faint, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked but a smile from the heart.

I thought that Zhuangzi was his father's emperor, but after seeing the master, I realized that the Chaoyang County Lord who was circulating in the palace really had a person, and it turned out that the Chaoyang County Lord who was beautiful was not a vain exaggeration. I thought that the concubines of my father and emperor in the palace were already the most beautiful, just like the mother concubine, gentle and beautiful, and soft concubines, gorgeous and flamboyant.

After seeing the county lord of Chaoyang, he didn't know how to describe it, just thinking that the Nine Heavens Xuannu was nothing more than that. Since that year, the five brothers and I have gone to the county lord's mansion every summer to play and read with the county lord's four children.

The county lord has a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, their names were taken by their father, one is called Jiang Tianlin, and the other is called Jiang Tianfeng, although these two names are not quoted from the scriptures, but they are the only names taken by the father, their brothers and sisters are all taken by the Ministry of Rites, and then the father and the emperor order one at will, so their brothers know that several children of the county lord's family are not to be provoked.

The third brother was uncomfortable, he had a fight with Jiang Tianxing, and was taken back to the palace by his father the next day, I heard that the third brother didn't get out of bed for a month, and then our brother began to get along with the Jiang brothers from a distance.

Only Sister Xiaofeng is different, we have so many boys, just a girl, her brother lets her everywhere, that is, Jiang Tianxing is naughty and teasing, she is just pouting and coquettish, I watched from afar, I was very envious, and often took advantage of them not paying attention to tease Sister Feng, and slowly Sister Feng recognized me, and when I saw that I would grin with a mouth that had not yet grown teeth, silver threads hung down from my mouth.

Later, when I grew up, my father told us very clearly that Sister Feng would be the future crown princess. However, the father obviously did not appoint a prince, so who will Sister Feng marry. I still remember the fiery light that flashed in the eyes of the second brother after my father finished speaking, and the instant brightness in the eyes of the sixth brother.

Then, I began to worry, every time I went to see the county lord and Mr. Jiang, I didn't dare to look up at them, and I didn't know what I was hiding? Later, when I accidentally bumped into the second brother who gave Sister Feng a hairpin, I was so frightened that I hid behind the rockery, sweating all over, fortunately, Sister Feng didn't take the hairpin, and my heart was relieved.

I didn't know how I came over in those two years, I wanted to go to the county lord's mansion or to Jiang's mansion every day, but when I went, I didn't dare to go to Sister Feng'er, so I had to think of all ways to drag the second brother and prevent him from finding a chance to see Sister Feng alone. Later, Sister Feng and Lu died, and the matter that I **** hung in my heart was about to come out.

It was a difficult time, but when I saw Jiang Tianen, Jiang Tianxing, and Jiang Tianlin coming to me together, I was relieved, for so many years, I got along well with their brothers, I think we should be friends, maybe they have something to tell me, and I am happy and worried in my heart. But they didn't say anything, they only said how bad Sister Feng'er's temper was, how picky Sister Feng'er's mouth was, how domineering Sister Feng'er was, I was furious when I heard it, I just thought that they must be Sister Feng's brother, and the patience was over, but I didn't expect that they were getting more and more excessive, and they actually said that Sister Feng couldn't even be a girl.

I was angry, "How can there be such a sister brother, Sister Feng embroidered a green bamboo royal blue purse to Mr. when she was just a girl, and also gave the county lord a silk handkerchief embroidered with begonias, and also embroidered a purse for a few of you, where will not be a female red, you are a brother like this exit is not covered up, carefully Sister Feng knows that she will be angry." ”

At that time, the Jiang brothers looked at me and smiled, but I didn't know my mind, and within three days, my father decreed that I should be canonized as the crown prince and promised Sister Feng to me. When I received the decree, I thought I was in the clouds and hadn't come back to my senses for a long time.

Later, when I got married, Sister Feng lived in the East Palace with me, and I often saw my father, and my father was different from Sister Feng, and I also had sisters, but I had never seen my father and emperor to any sister and Yan Yue. only asked Sister Feng if she was used to it, and often asked Sister Feng to go back to Jiang's Mansion to fulfill her filial piety.

After the death of the queen mother, the father directly handed over the harem lock to Sister Feng, until the eldest son of me and Sister Feng was born, and the father directly sealed the grandson, and did not let me accept the side concubine, so I didn't mention it, and naturally no one in the palace dared to mention it. There were two or three voices in the court, but they disappeared without making any splashes.

When the grandson was ten years old, his father abdicated, and he took the grandson, the county lord and a Muzi to go out to play. My father only has six princes, and the second brother with a cold temperament and the smart sixth brother were left in the imperial city, until Jiang Tianen, Mu Tianxing and Jiang Tianlin showed their talents in the court, and I didn't know what the purpose of the white father left the second brother and the sixth brother, the father wanted the court to balance, and only the second brother and the sixth brother could compete with the Jiang brothers.

I'm not smart enough, so when my father abdicated, he said, as long as I can keep his country, I can sit in this position because I can finish his dream.

It wasn't until a long, long time later that I didn't know what it was. When my father was dying, I understood that a person who gave up his lover for the sake of the country, but couldn't forget the pain, couldn't ask for it, so he repeatedly tortured himself and said that his father was like this.

No wonder we haven't let our brothers get close to their mother since we were young, no wonder there has been no queen in the palace, and we are not allowed to posthumously crown the queen mother, it turns out that it is because of her. Looking at the foundation that my father finally chose for himself, I only felt ridiculous, but no matter how ridiculous it was, I had to do it.

I finally watched the coffin full of gold, silver and jewels go to the imperial mausoleum, while my father went to a place called Deaf Son Mountain in a coffin full of paintings, and there was a place where I could look straight at her Shengji.

I really didn't hold back my curiosity, I opened the picture scroll, one two, three or four, full of coffins, all of them, the lord of Chaoyang, from the cardamom years to the beauty of the late curtain, or laughing or angry, or sitting on a chair, or standing in the corner of the rockery, or playing by the lake, there is only one person in the painting.

Through this painting, I can see that my father was tired and lonely for thousands of days, and he could only talk and masturbate with this brush. I couldn't understand my father's thoughts, but I listened to his old man's teachings, and always respected Sister Feng'er, so that my father could rest assured and the county lord of Chaoyang was relieved.
