2, Concubine You

Woke up in a daze, Zhao Yuli reacted for a while before remembering that she was in her sister's hall, she was waited by the maid to put on her shoes, at this time her sister had already dressed and finished grooming, Zhao Yuzhen turned her head to look at her, did not speak, and left angrily. Zhu Zi, who was standing on the side, covered his mouth and smiled, gently pulled down the hair that was attached to Zhao Yuli's cheek, and began to serve her to freshen up. When Zhao Yuli came to the table, Zhao Mu had already finished breakfast and went to school, Zhao Yuzhen pestered Queen Wang and Duan Shunrong to talk, the faces of the three were obviously not very good, Zhao Yuli listened for a while, and probably understood the origin of Concubine You and the reason why they were worried.

Concubine You's original name was Youmin, the youngest daughter of a noble merchant on the Qiantang River, and when King Zhao was still Prince Zhao, he went to Jiangnan with his father to inspect and lived in their family's courtyard by the North and South Lake, and the two also met at that time. The high mountains by the north and south lakes can see the sea, it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival at that time, and the gentle and affectionate Prince Zhao did not like to be peaceful, so he took a waiter to hide out, and this dodge hid in the mountain pavilion where you can enjoy the bright moon and see the deep blue sea. Walking slowly up the stone steps, the bright moon is getting rounder and fuller, more and more beautiful, just when he sighed, the independent figure of a slender woman in a plain dark silk dress came into his eyes, and it made Prince Zhao stay in place, the woman seemed to be thinking, until the sea breeze ruffled her hair, and she did not notice the existence of Prince Zhao. Today's King Zhao explained to the queen why he wanted to be named a concubine, sighed: "Until this year, I was able to welcome her and the second son in the womb into the palace, I am ashamed and sorry", it turned out that when they met, Prince Zhao had a deep love for him, but after experiencing the king, the queen, and calming the turmoil caused by the change of regime in the palace, it has been several years, until the two of them were secretly knotted, King Zhao finally took the prince as the crown prince, the court was stable, and the royal heirs should not be left out of the name of the court controversy, Na Youmin entered the palace. I thought it was just an ordinary concubine, but who knew that there was still nearly ten years of affection among them, and Queen Wang and Duan Shunrong were speechless about this situation. Uneasiness was put into practice, but Zhao Yuli quieted down, but he was very unconvinced: "No matter how affectionate my father is, my mother and queen mother always marry my father first, we have always lived like this, how can you take away the husband of your mother and queen mother, our father and king!" At this time, Zhao Yuli didn't know that this loss was only the beginning of countless losses in her life, and her unconvincing was also waiting for countless huo huo not far away.

Concubine You was pregnant with twin sons, and King Zhao took pity on her, exempting her from countless rules, so that she could stay in his simple and heavy sea viewing pavilion with peace of mind, and she was accompanied by each other every day, just like ordinary couples in the streets, there was no day without returning. On the other hand, the splendid middle palace is like a superfluous carving in the palace, with too much deliberateness and incompatibility, at the end of the summer sunset, Zhao Yuli, who has not been intimate with her father for several months, sighed, and the grapes in her mouth seem to have lost their sweet and sour taste, not only that, but the resentment in her heart has also been shaken. In the past few months, in addition to the eldest brother Zhao Mu, she and the second sister have felt their excess, and this apprehension even appeared on her mother's face. Zhao Yuli threw down the grapes in her hand and clapped her hands, as if trying to pat away the discomfort, she thought that she should do something.

It was night, the queen's palace was brightly lit, a boiling sound, King Zhao, who had not appeared for many months, sat angrily in the middle palace, Queen Wang sat beside him, drinking tea with a faint expression, Zhao Mu stood aside, his hands tied in his sleeves, expressionless, he couldn't see what he was thinking, Zhao Yuzhen stood under Zhao Mu, his expression was cold, revealing a little resentment, a little ridicule. Standing at the bottom of Duan Shunrong's face nervous, from time to time to look outside the hall, at this time, Tong Zi stood anxiously outside the hall, quickly said something to Duan Shunrong's personal maid Dan Niang, after saying that, Dan Niang turned around and walked in quickly, and shook his head to Duan Shunrong slightly. Duan Shunrong was a little disappointed, couldn't help clenching his fists, lowered his head and thought a little, turned around and walked quickly to King Zhao, and knelt down instantly: "The concubine is guilty, Yuli has not returned for a long time, it is really a poor upbringing of the concubine, but what Your Majesty said is tortuous and unclear, please wait for Yuli to come back and then discuss, there may be reasons that are not known......", "Bang la la", the fragments of the cup were scattered on the ground, and King Zhao was furious: "Or is there a reason?" What is the reason to make this evil girl do this, it is really the most poisonous woman's heart, you are a mother, and you have a face and twists and turns! You know what right and wrong are! Duan Shunrong shrank in fright, her head hung lower, this was the first time she had seen King Zhao so angry, and her words were sharper than a needle in her heart, which made her hurt.

Zhao Yuli happily stepped into the palace gate with his skirt, and curiously looked at the Wei Zi who was kneeling outside the hall and crying and a group of servants, and stepped into the hall for some reason. On your knees! She froze in place. Zhu Zi stepped forward quickly, grabbed her arm and said hurriedly: "When Concubine You's garden was enjoying the coolness, a golden arrow shot on the fruit plate in the pavilion, the concubine was frightened, her stomach suddenly fell and burst several purple lines, quite terrifying, when the palace people chased after her, they saw that her figure was slender and small, and she was like ...... Princess, your figure, the emperor is furious, princess, you go forward and kneel, quickly! Zhao Yuli followed Zhu Zi to kneel on the ground in ignorance, King Zhao saw that her expression was stupid, and he was so angry that he wanted to step forward and slap him, Zhao Mu quickly stepped forward and stopped in front of King Zhao, shouting: "Father! Be careful! King Zhao looked at the eight-year-old eldest son in front of him, gritted his back molars, withdrew his palm with hatred, and turned to sit back on his seat.

"Daughter, you own this arrow?" King Zhao threw a golden arrow in front of Zhao Yuli's eyes.

Zhao Yuli forced himself to hold back the horror in his heart, and looked closely, isn't it his little golden arrow? This was a gift from his father on his fifth birthday, a small bow and a quiver and ten arrows, all of which were made of gold, and came as a tribute from the Northwest Fanbang, when my father laughed and said: "If my little Yuli was born in the Western Regions, she must be a heroine who can ride a horse and shoot arrows, and this bow and arrow is really suitable for you." Zhao Yuli was anxious to argue, when he suddenly saw Zhao Yuzhen's sudden look, bit his lip, and understood what was going on. She looked at her mother lying on the ground, lowered her head, and raised her head as if determined: "What about me?!" After Concubine You comes to the palace, you don't care about me anymore, I don't like Concubine You, and I don't like my father anymore! Saying that, Zhao Yuli couldn't help but shed tears: "You haven't been here for a long time, and you will murder me as soon as you come, it's really the most annoying!" "You didn't give me a paper kite this spring, you didn't give me a fresh lotus pod in summer, and you didn't say that you wanted to take me to escape the summer, just caring about the younger brothers and sisters in Concubine You's belly, woo woo woo woo ......"

Looking at Zhao Yuli with tears on his face, King Zhao was so angry that he raised and put down his hand, "Just because I didn't take you to put paper kites and didn't take you to the summer, you want to kill people!" You little brute! ”

"I didn't kill anyone! I just want to scare her and tell her not to think that I, Zhao Yuli, am a bully! Zhao Yuli stubbornly cocked his little face. King Zhao was so angry that he fell back, "Then what are you running!" ”

"I ...... I was found out, so of course I ran! Zhao Yuli said confidently.

The blue tendons on King Zhao's forehead burst out, and he said continuously: "Good, good, good ......", he walked up to Duan Shunrong's eyes and said angrily: "Look at the good daughter you taught, what a stingy obstacle!" King Zhao walked briskly two or three times with the corner of his forehead: "Xuan, from today onwards, remove Duan Shunrong's title, enter the cold palace, if Concubine You has any problems, take her life to compensate!" The queen is also not strict in discipline, from now on, confined to the palace, two months later, and then make plans, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the queen presided over the inappropriate, the court and the central government will discuss again."
