Chapter Eighty-Four: When the Greetings Begin
No one can resist watching a good show in a place where there is absolutely no need to pay a substantial price. Violence doesn't hurt at all, because the people who watch the play know that they are not involved in the scene at all, they are complete outsiders.
It's like an immersive game, watching, evaluating, and participating in it, changing some of the storyline – oh, and the premise that you can't deviate too far from the main story and not let the world collapse, but as long as you keep everyone's sanity on the edge of what this worldview requires, it's only going to get better.
Murong Yuhua's excitement came from this. Breaking away from the original programmed embedding mode, he now looked like a tourist sightseeing around, curious about almost everything, eager to see what kind of surprises such an old civilization would bring back after breaking away from the original world.
I have to say that even if it is Murong Yuhua's soul that occupies the body of the third princess at the moment, she seems to be a member of this world, the heir of the emperor and the concubine, but she can still inevitably sense the arrogance in her bones. The arrogance of a man from the high-tech age that is completely impossible to hide.
Even if she didn't put these things in her mouth, Gu San could feel it sometimes. This was given to him by the times, by the electronic components, the program data, and the ability to build the whole world on his own. He is even the God of this world if he wants to, everything is based on the programs he has written, and everything can be destroyed if he wants to.
Such thoughts are like seeds, even if he doesn't pay much attention to them, but this is an objective fact, even if he tries not to mention it, these cannot be changed. Such power, such existence, if it is not clear that everything is just a dream, if it is not clear that these existences will eventually become bubbles and cease to exist, a person will inevitably fall into expansion, like falling into bottomless desires, and it is difficult to escape from one's own arrogance.
Gu San was glad that Murong Yuhua was a smart person, a smart person who might seem stupid occasionally, but had a pure heart. They obviously hold the unimaginable "divine power" in their hands, but they restrain everything as always, and the joys and sorrows of the people around them are pleasant.
When they came to Fengqing Garden, they were surrounded by guards brought by the emperor. There was a cry in the house, it was An Guiren. This time, Mama Zhang didn't come with her, and when Concubine De sent someone to inform her, she specially told that unrelated people did not need to enter.
Therefore, in the end, Gu San brought Murong Yuhua over. Murong Yuhua looked at the battle in front of her, she raised her head and looked at Gu San, "Do you think the plot will progress faster than we imagined today?" ”
"If it progresses too fast, it's not fun, and when you reach the pinnacle of power, what do you want the protagonist to continue to work on? A book shouldn't be written like this. ”
"You haven't read it much, how do you know how it's written?"
"I haven't seen it, but I know what most people think — they want to see how a protagonist who is in the same difficult situation as themselves changes her fate step by step, not how she stands at the top of her destiny not long after she starts. If so, it would be nice for them to see how those who are better than them live. ”
Murong Yuhua said, "This is strange. Obviously, in the end, the protagonists live a life that is not at all what they can live. ”
"Yes, but at least they can see some shadows of themselves in the process, suggesting that maybe one day they will be able to climb up step by step with the same good fortune."
Murong Yuhua looked at the courtyard surrounded by layers in front of him, smiled and shook his head, "Then it seems that I can't see the drama I want to see today." I thought I could beat the queen out with a little stimulation. ”
Gu San is not a person who is too conformist, shrugged his shoulders and walked in, while saying, "I didn't say that you can't stimulate them. It's just up to you to see for yourself what kind of drama is more exciting. ”
"I don't like to watch women fight. Especially for men, even though I'm a man, it's still boring to me. They gracefully and insidiously spend their efforts to lay traps, trap others, and at the same time, it is difficult for them to get out at all. ”
"And what do you like to watch?"
"I like to see you shoot, how you take out all those enemies, how you step through the corpses of idiots to the top, and tell everyone — including me — that you're fighting for all the bullshit." Murong Yuhua smiled brightly, "This is so cool, Gu San." Exciting and blood-driven, this is what I like to watch! ”
"You like to watch violence."
"People love violence. Because only violence really doesn't need to be whitewashed and shown. The moment everyone chooses violence, they choose to expose themselves. She said, her eyes seemed to penetrate the high walls, and she saw the man sitting inside, the only man among the women, the creator of this good show, "But some people are very stupid to think that the violent instinct belongs to men, and that genes and hormones determine male aggression, but they are wrong, which lioness have you ever seen that does not hunt?" A woman can become violent as well, as long as she is willing to admit this true self. ”
"Then what do you think of Concubine Kang and Concubine De?"
"They are no exception, but the environment does not allow it. If the environment allows, they will definitely do no worse than us. By that time, they may realize how much time they have wasted in this slow effort to pull each other. The little princess raised her hand to aim inside, raised her wrist, and made a shooting pose, "Palace Battle Royale." It's cool. ”
"You'd better pray that this doesn't happen at your age, or you'll be the first to die, with your two little short legs, I promise."
"Then I'll be sure to find you right before I die." Murong Yuhua squeezed her palm, "I know you're here, so there's no need to be afraid of anything." ”
Gu San looked down at her, although the appearance was different, the gender was different, but the feeling revealed to him by those clear eyes was still the same, she was still him, and it was still that Murong Yuhua "Well, yes." That's the best thing you should do. Now let's get inside, you don't want to miss the show? ”
"Of course! That's what I'm here for! ”
The two of them entered like this.
Sure enough, before the show started, everyone should be in place, the emperor, Concubine Kang, Concubine De, and Xin Guiren all arrived, and the queen mother also sat on the emperor's right hand side. This An Guiren knelt on the ground, already crying pear blossoms and rain, his makeup was spent, and his hair bun was crooked to the side.
The palace concubine's tricks were exposed, generally speaking, there are no more than two sets of rhetoric, one is "I'm not, I really don't, the emperor, you want to investigate!" How dare a concubine do such a hurtful thing! When the evidence was conclusive and irrefutable, he began to scold again, "It's all this slut!" If she hadn't robbed the emperor of his favor, how could I have done such a thing? It's all her own favor, and she turned me into an ugly-looking jealous woman! ”
In fact, most of the dramas in the deep palace are like this, is Concubine Kang the protagonist, since she is a favored person, she naturally has to withstand so many resentments. An Guiren scolded and scolded, cried and cried, and was punished into the cold palace by the emperor with a word, and when he asked the eunuch to drag him out, he cried while dragging it back, "Your Majesty, the emperor's concubines are sincere to you, Your Majesty!" If it weren't for this, how could the concubine make a decision! Emperor! ”
In this way, it seems that everything has come to an end, and the matter of the attack on Concubine Kang has come to an end for the time being. But since Concubine De called the third princess, the matter didn't end so quickly.
Murong Yuhua originally came in, quietly pretending to be well-behaved, sitting next to Concubine De, and after watching An Guiren being dragged out, he suddenly heard Concubine De Niangniang say, "Hua'er, your father is here today, and you can finally talk to your father about the grievances you suffered a few days ago." ”
The emperor asked, "What grievances has Hua'er suffered?" ”
Murong Yuhua was stunned for a moment, and was thinking about how to speak, Concubine Kang sighed and said, "Your Majesty, don't you know, when we just arrived at the annex a few days ago, Hua'er was naughty and ran to the garden to play alone, and it was ...... was attacked by someone and hit the back of the head, fortunately she was sheltered by the dragon's breath, nothing happened, and she came back again, Sister Defei didn't know what happened at first, until she bathed her and found that the water was full of blood, so she was so frightened that she told me what happened. ”
Concubine De answered, "I feel very guilty in my heart, I feel guilty that Concubine Kang's sister handed over the child to me to raise but did not take good care of her, but I hate who in this palace would be so ruthless and actually attack an eight-year-old child!" ”
After Concubine De and Concubine Kang finished speaking, they both looked at Murong Yuhua, Murong Yuhua glanced at Gu San, Gu San was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth still raised a subtle arc slightly.
Then I heard the third princess cry out with a "wow-", turned her head and curled up in Concubine De's arms, "Mother, Hua'er will never run around in the future, Hua'er is really scared, that person...... The man was wearing a pair of black boots, and when he walked, he could still hear the movement of 'dangchang' and 'dangchang'. ”
Gu San also took over the words, "Third princess, dare to ask, this 'dangchang', 'dangchang', but this is like this?" ”
As she spoke, she demonstrated that she was striking the jade on the belt with her matching knife.
The third princess nodded at her with tears on her face, "Yes!" That's it. Mother and father, it's really scary, Hua'er doesn't dare to sleep at night now. ”
Looking at the emperor, he slapped the table angrily and said, "How can this be true!" Again, "Investigate it thoroughly!" It's not enough for someone to assassinate the palace concubine! There are still people who dare to harm my daughter! ”
Concubine Kang and Concubine De held the third princess in time and knelt forward, "Your Majesty!" You must make the decision for the third princess! ”
