"Concubine Su. ”

The remnants of the wind lotus garden are also piled with snow, leaving a little arrogance, but it also has a unique flavor.

Concubine Su sat in the pavilion by the lake, holding a soup woman in her hand, and a pot of charcoal fire on the side, she turned her head to look at the lotus flowers, the north wind was blowing, and her hair was gently raised.

"Sit down. ”

She turned around, smiled faintly, and said softly, "You can sit down." ”

Mo Ziyu sat down, also raised his eyes to look at the lotus pond, and said, "In the summer of next year, this place will be full of life again." ”

"Yes, the flowers bloom and fall, year after year, they are all there, no matter what the world is, they are all open. Concubine Su said a little sadly, "Do you know? Actually, I don't like lotus flowers, and this lotus pond was not built for me by the prince." ”

"That?"

"I used to have an older sister who grew up with. She was born very beautiful, and this beauty is a blessing, which can make her easily favored by the best men in the world, and this beauty is also a disaster, so that she is always coveted. Concubine Su said, "She is like the most beautiful flower in the world, and any woman in front of her is like a green leaf." But I'm willing to be that green leaf and stay by her side, because I know how good she is. I know that she can be loved deeply and passionately, not only because of her country, but also because of her talent, but also because of her understanding, or because of her kindness, it is not an exaggeration to apply all the beautiful words in the world to her. ”

"Where is she now?" asked Mo Ziyu.

Concubine Su picked up the handkerchief, wrapped the teapot handle, poured a cup of hot tea for Mo Ziyu, and also poured herself a cup.

She held the small teacup in her hand, lowered her eyes to look at the few tea leaves floating inside, and said lightly: "Dead, died ten years ago." ”

"She likes lotus flowers, and this lotus pond was built for her by the prince?" asked Mo Ziyu.

Concubine Su didn't raise her eyes, just nodded, and then sighed: "She is such a beautiful person, she should have become the most noble woman in the world, she is so good, there is only one thing that is not good, her background is not good, she is a foreign race." ”

"Interracial?"

"When the country of Mulan was broken, many women of Mulan were dedicated to the imperial capital, and she was one of them. After she came to the imperial capital, she was supposed to be reduced to a dancing queen, but a general who escorted her on the way rescued her and adopted her as a righteous daughter. However, this general is not a good person, but he took a fancy to her beauty, cultivated chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and wanted to use her to consolidate his power. This general my father. ”

After taking a sip of hot tea, Concubine Su continued: "Ten years ago, a young son with his fifteen-year-old brother Weifu met my sister by chance, and the two fell in love at first sight. By that time, my sister had already become a slim woman, and my father wanted to sacrifice her to a prince in power in order to have a good future. I overheard it and told my sister about it, after which she ran away from home, but came back half a month later. I asked my sister why she went and returned, and she told me that the young prince turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Mo Ziyu was shocked: "Former prince?"

"Although the prince is in love with his sister, he also wants to propose to His Majesty and make her the crown princess, but my sister is such a calm person, she knows her origin, if the prince insists on this, she will only become the weakness of the prince and the handle of the prince's attack, so she left the prince and went home. Soon after, my sister was diagnosed as pregnant and severely beaten by her angry father. ”

Concubine Su's voice was slightly choked, and she sniffed and continued: "Later, the prince's rebellion broke out, and in less than half a month, because of the death of the people involved in this matter, the exiled person was exiled, although my sister was worried about the prince, but she was just a weak woman, what ability did she have? Before she had time to think of a way, the prince had already been executed. My father forced her to beat the child, but my sister didn't allow it, so I fled with her overnight, went to the border pass, found the prince's younger brother, who is now King Qi, and told him about the child. King Qi secretly hid his sister at the border pass, and I was always with me, and then my sister died in childbirth. ”

She wiped a tear from her cheek, and then said: "King Qi wants to raise the child by his side, give the child the identity of the royal family, he doesn't want the blood of the royal family to be buried, he doesn't want the prince's child to be left behind, he wants to give this child all the glory." But the child needs a mother, a mother with a clean background, and I became the best candidate. But at that time, I already had a childhood sweetheart's lover, for my sister, for this child, I promised King Qi and became his golden house at the border. ”

"So, the prince is actually the child of the former prince. Mo Ziyu swallowed in surprise, her fingers trembled slightly, "Why did you tell me such an important thing?"

"I know you have a lot of doubts in your mind. Concubine Su said, "I don't plan to hide it from you today, because I can see that you really want to protect the prince and hand him over to you, I can rest assured." ”

"But what happened?"

"At that time, the prince was implicated in the prince's affairs, and was assigned to the frontier by His Majesty, he was born and died at the border pass, and repeatedly made military exploits, and after the prince's turmoil passed, he was transferred back to the capital, and the prince was almost half a year old at that time. Concubine Su said, "But my humble background, coupled with the fact that I had a child out of wedlock with the prince, the queen mother does not like me very much, and the prince is not trusted by His Majesty, so he can't give me the identity and the identity of the prince." Later, the prince married the princess, the second lady, and the third lady in one go, and stabilized his position in the capital, and the prince was born cute, and the queen mother gradually liked it, so she allowed me to get started. The princess and the two ladies were infertile for three years, and the prince was able to become the prince. ”

"The three ladies are infertile, I'm afraid it's also your handiwork, right?" asked Mo Ziyu.

"I've been a doctor since I was a child, and it's not hard to drug them. Concubine Su said, "The heart is unpredictable, now the prince can regard the prince as his own, if he has flesh and blood, can he still love the prince so much, and is willing to give him everything? If my sister's children can't become the most noble and brilliant person, what is the point of sacrificing my own happiness and planning all this?"
