Chapter 295: Two Ways
The nature of human beings is to constantly find their own advantages, to show their value in the world, to be praised and admired by the world, to seek the pleasure of being recognized and noble, and finally to get it, then they will feel satisfied.
Therefore, all people are born with one thing - to cover up ugliness. Desire, viciousness, selfishness and other inferior natures that run counter to nobility do exist in everyone, but people can never learn to take the initiative to face these things, in order to be a noble and virtuous person, these instincts are the ugliness they want to hide in every possible way, not only from others, but also from themselves.
Yu Zhao has never been too lazy to do this, she always knows what kind of person she is in her heart, good and bad are clearly distinguished, she will not easily belittle and ridicule herself, nor will she put gold on her face bluntly, she will often put her shortcomings on the bright side to recognize clearly, and if she is too lazy to correct, she will face it calmly, among which selfishness and indifference are the one she recognizes the most.
Often the more real and thorough he knows, in this flashy and hypocritical world, facing these people who try his best to disguise himself every day, Yu Zhao feels more and more unconfident, as if he is a retrograde antelope, only going in which direction he wants, and gradually leaving the group, in fact, he is not sure whether the road he insists on going his own way is the right way.
So Yu Zhao, who was confused, looked around at the palace, and could no longer find Mrs. Nanrong to pour, so he could only ask Chu Zikai: "Your Majesty, my selfish nature is always getting into trouble, and I can't be generous from the bottom of my heart, and it is the opposite of the overall situation, is it right or wrong?" ”
"Selfish? Where did Zhao Zhao say this? ”
Obviously, Chu Zikai has never noticed Yu Zhao's selfishness so far, and when he heard her question, he turned his head to look at her without knowing it, and said with a smile:
"Why do you love to think cranky every time something happens? It was my negligence this time that gave the villains a chance to calculate Concubine Ling, you didn't do anything obediently, how can you say that you are in trouble? ”
Yu Zhao explained:
"Since ancient times, the harem of the Great Chu Emperor will not be as imaginary as it is now, Your Majesty loves me very much, and it has broken the rules that have been passed down for a hundred years. That's why the concubines are unconvinced, no matter how you look at me, you don't feel pleasing to the eye. ”
As he spoke, Yu Zhao raised his eyes and looked at the witch box placed in the center of the courtyard, raised his hand to smooth his inexplicably flustered heart, and cut to the point.
"Sun Fangyi seems to be an example, but I know that she just hated me for a while, and she was bold enough to do this vicious thing than the rest of the concubines, and I have you to protect me at all times, so I can't hurt it at all, but Concubine Ling ...... And that child is indeed a disaster from heaven and suffers for no reason. Who can guarantee that there will not be the next Sun Fangyi in the future, and whether there will be another person who is innocent like Concubine Ling, it is unknown. ”
After silently listening to Yu Zhao's concerns, Chu Zikai smiled and bowed his head and touched her forehead, hugged her lightly, and replied softly:
"If you think that these incidents are caused by my exclusive favor of you, you don't have to think that you are selfish first, the main reason is that I can't control it and only want to stay with you, you just happen to be willing to dominate me alone. Selfishness mixed with selfishness, that is, two loves, since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone criticize the love between two lovers and husbands, and to admire the half-hearted. ”
Having said that, Chu Zikai's special identity is here, how can she and Yu Zhao compare them with ordinary couples. Yu Zhao said in a sullen voice: "But you are Your Majesty, the huge harem is restless because of me, I am afraid that it will be criticized by the world." ”
Chu Zikai sighed helplessly: "There will be no end to such annoying things of right and wrong, and think about the time when you didn't come, my father and emperor were also able to restrain themselves to achieve even rain and dew, and the harem was still a miasma, and there was no day of peace in the open and secret battles." ”
"From this, we can understand that it is not that whoever gets my love alone is wrong, but because some people's hearts are inherently unkind, even if they give her a little face, it will only encourage her viciousness."
"And my Zhaozhao has never thought of pampering others to satisfy his own desires, so I love you willingly and feel down-to-earth, and I feel that as long as you are happy, I am willing to give you my whole heart."
"It's me who is willing to let only you and me fall in love today, and the rest of the concubines, in the final analysis, are all outsiders, I can't force myself to love them, at least I gave them a peaceful life, it's they who are uneasy and want to hurt people and make trouble, I can't blame Zhaozhao for being too good to provoke my love."
These words sound really familiar, Yu Zhao suddenly, his thoughts gradually drifted away, and finally remembered that before he left that day, Mrs. Nanrong also taught herself like this, and today she was so confused by this thing that she forgot all those words, and now she remembered it again from these words Chu Zikai, and finally suddenly became enlightened, so she put down her heart and hugged Chu Zikai, and then pasted it into his warm embrace, and murmured:
"It's mine, it's not selfish to ask for it, so you don't have to let it."
Sensing the careful thinking that his beloved wanted to completely possess himself, Chu Zikai's mood gradually improved, and he really didn't want to be bothered by today's matter anymore, he looked at the sky, and then looked at the people in the garden who were still busy searching for a long time without success, and decided: "Today, you will go back to the Son of Heaven with me to live, make room for them to investigate thoroughly, let's go over and wait for the news first, if you blow the wind and cold, your husband will be distressed." ”
Physically and mentally exhausted today, Yu Zhao wanted to rest for a long time, and felt that Chu Zikai's idea was very good, nodded and agreed, turned to the concubines inside, and ordered: "It's getting late today, everyone go back to their respective palaces to sleep, Chaohui Palace will thoroughly investigate the criminals, and the palace will also leave with Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to leave you for tea." ”
After that, I saw Feng Yun hurriedly come out when he heard the sound, and quickly Zhang Luo came to someone, wanting to protect Chu Zikai and Yu Zhao to go out, and seeing that the light rain did not stop, Lang Sheng ordered the people outside to bring Luo umbrella and cover the two of them tightly, and then announced the drive.
The concubines came out after him, and there was a large line of people who followed the royal car far away from Yu Zhao and Chu Zikai, and when they saw the backs of the two of them under the Naluo umbrella, they were jealous, Liu Zhaorong helped Concubine Ling, who was too sad, to walk slowly, and suddenly reminded her loudly. "Sister Yifei, the concubine should uphold the virtue of resignation, under the umbrella of Luo in the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, it is not a place where we can stand."
This voice successfully caused Yu Zhao to stop, turned his head to look at Liu Zhaorong, Chu Zikai also stopped, and was about to refute Liu Zhaorong's theory, but saw that the box that had been placed next to him suddenly opened, and a cloak came out in a flash, stabbed Yu Zhao with a hairpin, and screamed with a hideous face: "You slut, go to death!" ”
