Chapter 238: A Rebellious Past
I remember that Zhao Ziyi had just turned sixteen that year, and he had lost his parents since he was a child, and he always liked to take his mother's jade flute with him.
He thought that he was an adult and could make his own decisions, so he became very rebellious, and in order to get rid of Cheng Bo's nagging all day long, he often slipped out of the palace alone.
In the morning, I went to the noodle stall in the West Market to order two bowls of Yangchun noodles, ate one bowl and gave one bowl to the little beggar on the roadside, and then wandered around the street like a gangster.
In the evening, he would come to the edge of the Ping Lake, sit on the stone steps and play the jade flute, quietly recalling the peerless face of his mother.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these things are nothing more ordinary, but for Zhao Ziyi, it is against his identity and is not allowed by the royal family.
For him, who has been suppressed for a long time, this is a willful behavior, and he likes this kind of rebellious taste.
In the middle of the market, he actually envied those ordinary people, although sometimes the family could not even afford to eat, but their faces were always filled with happy smiles.
Because as long as the family is together, no matter what they do, they are happy, and these are exactly the things he lacks the most.
Once, on the edge of Pinghu Lake, Zhao Ziyi saw a group of people beating a teenager, and after the beating, they snatched an object from the boy's body, and then threw a silver ingot and walked away.
He thought that the behavior of those people was very strange, and when he stepped forward to inquire, he learned that the young man had a jade pendant on him, which was the only thing his mother left him.
But he was favored by the master of that group of people, and he had to force him to sell the jade pendant, he didn't do it, and finally he was beaten up and bought the jade pendant.
Zhao Ziyi didn't like to meddle with other people's affairs, but when he heard the young man's narration, he knew the meaning of the jade pendant to the young man, just like his jade flute, so he went to the family and helped the child "take" the jade pendant back.
That was the first time he had stolen!
The boy kept kowtowing to him with gratitude, and for the first time he felt that it was actually an exciting thing to help the weak, but it turned out that he was not so useless.
So, he went further and further on this "rebellious" road.
Because Zhao Ziyi slipped out of the palace at that time, he didn't dare to expose himself at all, so he refused to tell the young man his name, so the young man called him to be a jade flute.
Whenever people hear the mournful sound of the flute at night, they will always get an unexpected harvest during the day, and they will know that it is the jade flute that has come.
The only person who has really seen the jade flute may be the young man back then, but the matter of the jade flute is widely known.
The hero respected by others is actually just a rebellious teenager who pursues excitement.
And he also enjoys the conflict between this identity and his real identity.
But just three years ago, when he went to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to steal, he seemed to have found some secrets, and he originally planned to take a good look, but unexpectedly alarmed the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In his haste to escape, he lost the most important jade flute.
Zuo Xiang handed over the jade flute to the emperor, and when the emperor sent the jade flute to his mansion, it also meant that his jade flute life ended.
Although he pretended to be stupid and didn't admit it, he was still suspicious by the emperor, so much so that he sent people to monitor his every move all day long.
The emperor named him "King Yong'an" at that time, and he instantly understood the emperor's mind.
Since then, his life has not only been depressed when he was young, but also not as simple as not causing trouble.
In order to let the emperor let down his guard, he also had to wear a mask, pretend to be cowardly, and pretend to be romantic, so that people look like a bloodless man, so that he would not get involved with the jade flute.
Originally, for a peaceful prince, these wayward pasts would be buried forever with his cover-up.
But now, Zhao Ziyi must regain that identity!
