Chapter 81: The World Is Too Bitter She's Too Lonely
The word Zhu Yan was given to himself by Chu Qingci after he faked his death. From the Southern Tang Dynasty's poem "Yu Beauty", "The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed", which is appropriate for her.
She has read a lot of books, and she is also quite literate, and the word "Yu" in Yu Xi is also from the word plate of this poem.
Zhu Yan's Fuchunju Tavern is very large, and there are several rooms that are very tastefully furnished, one of which is for Gong Xun to live in.
Gong Xun looks at such a beautiful and cold person every day, and it has been imprinted in his heart for a long time.
Gong Xun looked at the sadness and heart in her peach blossom eyes, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt pity, and the more she looked at it, the more she loved it. I just feel like I want to be close to her and want to hear her story. But she was just the kind of person who refused to be thousands of miles away, and she didn't tell him anything.
"And then?" Yu Xi couldn't help but ask.
One day, a woman wearing a hat came to Zhu Yan, I don't know what she said to make her sad, Gong Xun only knew that after the person left, Zhu Yan was very sad. drank alone in the middle of the night, and then she pushed open the door of Gong Xun's room, climbed into his bed, and begged him to ask for her.
The cold beauty on weekdays rarely speaks a few words a day, so she pounces directly, without the shyness of a woman, only sadness and sadness.
She said that all her loved ones were gone and that she wanted a child of her own. She said that the world was too bitter, she was too lonely, and she wanted to have a child to depend on her.
Beauty is current, and you can't ask for it. Of course, Gong Xun did not refuse. It was also that night that Chu Qingci became pregnant with Yu Xi.
"Later, after I settled in Beijing, I wanted to marry her into the house, look for her once, and hide her once. After giving birth to you, I wanted to see my daughter, but she didn't want to, just ran away with you. ”
She has always wanted children, not Gong Xun.
Gong Xun sighed. Yu Xi was even more emotional.
She thought that she was the product of her father's mother's one-night affair, and thought that her father did not marry her mother because he minded that she was a tavernkeeper. How could she not think that her mother wanted to have a spring breeze with her father in such a situation.
That day, she learned about her family's death. She thought that her identity was exposed to be "given to death" by the former emperor, and the royal family would treat her family well, after all, the outside world did not know that she was exposed on her own, thinking that the former emperor was wise and recognized her.
Who knows, he was afraid that Feng Guo would find out about the Chu family, so he took the first step to destroy his own people.
How desperate did she have to be? It must have been enough courage to not cut himself, right? In this way, when Chu Qingci followed the emperor to fight against Tanran, he was already pregnant in his belly!
Her family died because of her, and she had a bitter hatred with her! And the former emperor Feng Yichen, although she saved her, but this disaster was also caused by her love for him, and she could no longer continue to love him.
The Empress Dowager, the first emperor, also had a particularly complicated relationship with Chu Qingci. On the one hand, they know that they have done nothing wrong, and on the other hand, they feel guilty.
Yu Xi straightened out the ins and outs, only to feel stuffy. Mother, a breezy person, has experienced such great pain and change!
"I was a household servant at the time, how easy it is to check a person's household registration, but what if I find that her heart is not here."
The look on Gong Xun's face, Yu Xi had seen it on Situ Nanfeng's face. That's asking for nothing, and there is nothing you can do.
The biggest regret in his life is that this woman never loved him. She rejoiced with him, conceived his flesh and bone, and raised his flesh and blood. It's not out of love for him, it's just that I want a child and a relative.
Gong Xun is a young man with ambition and high spirits. He has never suffered such ignorance and neglect, which is a thorn in his heart.
As for the matter of Chu Qingci and the former emperor Feng Yichen, it was still after he took office for a period of time, and the first emperor told him in the imperial study.
"Gong Xun, my woman, don't touch it."
When Chu Qingci came back from the army, his stomach was gradually showing his arms, and after knowing this, Feng Yichen was so angry that he became seriously ill, and asked Gong Xun to go to the imperial study and was angry with him.
Gong Xun was not to be outdone: "You said she was your woman?" Since it's your woman, why did you take the initiative to climb into my bed and say that you want to have a child and have a relative of your own! ”
It was also on that day that Gong Xun knew that Chu Qingci was originally a concubine in the palace. Feng Yichen is the Son of Heaven and kneels under her pomegranate skirt, so she naturally looks down on those ordinary people, and it makes sense to refuse people for thousands of miles.
Feng Yichen didn't put on an imperial shelf, he was just an ordinary person who was jealous that day. Feng Yichen and Gong Xun fought in the imperial study, and later had a fight.
Feng Yichen is a Ming Jun, and he pities that Gong Xun is the father of the child in Chu Qingci's womb, and he did not punish the palace for this reason.
It's just that when he thought that the child in Qingci's womb was his, his heart was like a knife, and he didn't even let him go to the morning court when he had nothing important to do.
"In this case, the emperor can still let you be the face of a country, which is also a generosity that ordinary people can't do."
The love between the emperor and Chu Qingci is so tragic, even if he dismisses his father's official or kills his father because of this, Yu Xi can understand it. But I didn't expect him to make him the most powerful courtier.
Gong Xun denied her claim.
"Of course not, I was proud of my talent, but I was not promoted in the past few years after I was promoted to the head of the household, and even slowly became a marginal position in the imperial court. No matter how wise and generous the emperor is, after all, he is also a mortal, and sometimes I think that if I were in the position of the emperor, I would choose to do this. ”
"As for being reused, it was a decision after the death of the first emperor and the regent of Prince Jing."
Feng Yiyang Qingjun side, exterminated many opposing voices in the government and the opposition to set an example, and also marginalized many officials who relied on the old and sold the old. In less than a year, he has cultivated many people he can trust, and Gong Xun was a very distinctive leader at that time.
The daughter has one more question. No matter how bad the daughter of the royal family is, she will marry a first-class official, you were just a third-grade waiter at the time, why is the eldest lady the county lord, the cousin of the emperor who did not have five suits, will marry you? Yu Xi asked as he pondered his words.
Feng is the daughter of Rong Wangye Feng Qishan, Rong Wangye and the previous emperor's father Chongdi is a half-brother, although Rong Wangye was born to a maid, after all, he was also crowned king later. The Feng family can marry a third-grade official as the county lord, not to mention that he still fills the house. This marriage was given by the emperor who was jealous of Gong Xun, and it didn't make sense.
"I've thought about these doubts of yours. The biggest possibility is that the emperor was afraid that I would pester Zhu Yan again, and wanted to marry a county lord to appease me, and secondly, the Feng family was jealous, which could also play a deterrent role. Gong Xun said, although he respected each other on the surface, he did not protect the shortcomings of the Feng family.
Yu Xi didn't think so. After a period of contact, she knew that Lord Feng was not a person who was at the mercy of others, if she was unwilling, even if the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, she would not marry so happily. Only, why would she want to?
