Volume 1: Born of Revenge Chapter 30: The Scenery in Front of People, the Sadness Behind (II)
"The prince is the queen's concubine, does the emperor let the imperial concubine torture him like this?" In the past, Ning Zhixuan lost her biological mother, although her life was not good, she never lacked food and clothing, but she didn't expect that Shangguan Hanyue, who respected her a hundred times as much, would let the imperial doctors destroy his body for a little money.
"My father has a lot of opportunities, where can I take care of such trivial things as the harem." The ninth princess explained, "What's more, in those years, the queen left the palace willfully, and my father was already choked in his heart, so he let Xiao Niangniang torture Brother Yue for so many years." ”
The Xiao Niangniang in the mouth of the ninth princess is Xiao Wenyuan, the imperial concubine of the dynasty, and the ninth princess is willing to call her Xiao Niangniang, even if she has never been embarrassed by the ninth princess over the years. Ning Zhiwen knew that she was not embarrassed by the ninth princess not because she was a good person, but because the ninth princess was just a princess even if she was favored by Emperor Qi, and it would only be used for marriage in the future, but Shangguan Hanyue was different, he was the son of the queen, the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that was Prince Heng's number one rival for the supreme position in the future.
"The emperor let the imperial concubine oppress him for so many years?" Ning Zhixuan really didn't expect that the imperial capital was so noble, and the suave Prince Yu actually lived a difficult life with no food and scars when he was young.
"Although this king is not a woman, this king has a mother who regards him as a treasure and is willing to defend it with his life." Ning Zhixuan's mind suddenly flashed the words that Shangguan Hanyue said before, and unconsciously a shocking thought floated in his heart, maybe Emperor Qi simply acquiesced to the approach of the imperial concubine, if Emperor Qi really cherished the queen so much, why would he ignore their only son, but if Emperor Qi did not cherish the queen, Shangguan Hanyue also had high hopes since he grew up, not only made the prince but also entrusted him with important tasks, and his status was not inferior to Prince Heng Shangguan Qingyu, who was supported by the Xiao and Bai families.
Ning Zhiyun's thoughts were chaotic with Emperor Qi's unfathomable profundity, Rao was she reincarnated as a human being, but she still couldn't guess what a ruthless emperor was planning in his heart?
"Sister Ning, do you know where Brother Yue is the most valuable?" Ning Zhiyun listened to the question of the ninth princess, and the blue shirt with clear eyebrows and handsome eyes came to mind, but he always showed a bit of scoundrel and a bit of banter like a cynical merry prince.
Seeing that she couldn't think of it, the ninth princess smiled and said, "At that time, I felt lonely, and it was even more uncomfortable to see other princesses having their biological mothers with them." ”
That time coincided with the ninth birthday of Shangguan Fengming, the seventh prince, and Emperor Qi specially took him back to the palace to celebrate his birthday. It is said that Shangguan Fengming is a special existence of the Great Zhou royal family, although he is neither a grandson nor a long, but because Fu Wanyi blocked a sword for Emperor Qi and ruined his appearance, he was quite loved by Emperor Qi.
Today's harem should be the biological mother of the fifth prince Shangguan Jiuxiao, but the rumors say that her beauty is not as good as one-ten-thousandth of the Fu beauty back then, of course, the rumors will be exaggerated, but it also shows that the Fu beauty of the year did have the appearance of a captivating city. It's just that Ning Zhiyun doesn't know now that Fu Meiren could have saved the sword without scratching her face, and she chose to self-destruct her appearance naturally so that Shangguan Fengming could grow up safely.
"That day, I saw that the princes and princesses in the hall who were the same age as me were accompanied by their mothers, so I wanted to go out for a walk alone, but I didn't want to see the Fifth Emperor Brother Shangguan Jiuxiao bullying the Seventh Emperor Brother with a group of children from the family."
At that time, although Emperor Qi loved Shangguan Fengming, he was also raised in the palace in the end, and he was not allowed to enter the palace unless it was a big festival.
Since ancient times, the emperor was lucky, although Emperor Qi pitied Shangguan Fengming's mother and son, but also favored Shangguan Jiuxiao's mother and son, and at that time, Shangguan Jiuxiao's biological mother Xu Nianjun was born beautiful and moving, and was just given the title "Li" by Emperor Qi, one is the son of the palace concubine who is not favored from the sixth grade, and the other is the son of the palace concubine who is from the fifth grade of the holy family is long and strong, the most in the palace is to worship the high and step on the low, those sons of the family see that the biological mother of the five princes is favored, and they naturally want to follow him to practice Shangguan Fengming.
"In the end, Shangguan Hanyue relieved the siege for the Seventh Prince?" Although Ning Zhixuan guessed that it should be Shangguan Hanyue who appeared to relieve Shangguan Fengming, she muttered in her heart how he, a down-and-out prince, could help others.
The ninth princess couldn't help but ask Ning Zhiyun whenever she talked about Shangguan Hanyue, and when she heard that Shangguan Hanyue was bullied, she looked angry, thinking in her heart that what her brother Yue asked for was not hopeless.
In the reminiscence of the Ninth Princess, Ning Zhixuan knew that it was the Ninth Princess who rushed out first to argue with Shangguan Jiuxiao that day.
That Shangguan Jiuxiao was afraid of Emperor Qi, and he didn't dare to embarrass the ninth princess too much, so he kicked Shangguan Fengming in the chest in anger, Shangguan Jiuxiao was eleven years old that year, and Shangguan Fengming was nine years old.
At the age of eleven, when he was a powerful young man, he kicked the corner of Shangguan Fengming's mouth and bleed.
Seeing that Shangguan Jiuxiao was so arrogant, the ninth princess was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, but she was a woman and had never practiced martial arts, otherwise she would have rushed up to fight with Shangguan Jiuxiao at the moment.
In the end, as Ning Zhixuan guessed, it was Shangguan Hanyue who beat Shangguan Jiuxiao all over the ground to find teeth, protecting Shangguan Fengming and the Ninth Princess.
Ning Zhixuan had seen Concubine Li's spicy spirit at the palace banquet last time, and she thought in her heart that Shangguan Hanyue had beaten Shangguan Jiuxiao, and Concubine Li was willing to give up.
The Ninth Princess then explained: "At that time, Brother Yue gave Brother Yue two heartwarming kicks to the Fifth Emperor Brother, and he was so hurt that he couldn't get up for a long time. The ninth princess immediately said: "Later, this matter was known by Concubine Li, and she led the five emperor brothers to cry to the front of the palace, but Brother Yue only said that he accidentally injured the five emperor brothers by mistake while learning kung fu." ”
Hearing what the Ninth Princess said, Ning Zhiyun felt that although Shangguan Hanyue did not have a biological mother to take care of her like her, she knew better than him how to protect herself in the Deep Palace.
Shangguan Hanyue knew that Emperor Qi didn't like his brothers to lose harmony the most, so he deliberately only said that he was learning martial arts, but his imperial brother naturally would not be willing, so he would inevitably pull out the cause and effect of the matter, with Shangguan Fengming's injury as evidence, and the testimony of the ninth princess, in the end, Shangguan Hanyue and Concubine Li could only lift a stone and hit their own feet.
But if Shangguan Hanyue exposed Shangguan Jiuxiao's crimes as soon as he saw Emperor Qi at that time, it would definitely make Emperor Qi think that Shangguan Hanyue deliberately provoked the incident, so that even if it turned out to be Shangguan Jiuxiao's fault in the end, he would each be hit with fifty boards because of Emperor Qi's suspicions. But Shangguan Hanyue broke off the suspicion of provoking trouble at the beginning, and then Shangguan Jiuxiao did not give up, but Shangguan Fengming and the Ninth Princess proved that he was at fault first, although Li Concubine was favored by Emperor Qi, but she was more than glamorous, and her strategy was insufficient.
"Sister Ning, I said so much just to tell you that the princess and princess in the palace seem to be noble, but in fact, they are just bright on the surface." The Ninth Princess looked at Ning Zhiyun with clear eyes and said, "All the people in this palace are either afraid of me or want to harm me, only Brother Yue treats me well, and he has also lost his mother's care since he was a child, so he has special pity on me." ”
Ning Zhiyun suddenly remembered that the biological mother of the Ninth Princess was also spilled in the palace for the Ninth Princess, no wonder the Ninth Princess treated her very kindly.
"Sister Ning, I helped you because of Brother Yue, and because you and I have similar backgrounds." The ninth princess heard Shangguan Hanyue mention Ning Zhiyun and wondered what kind of person she was, remembering that when she first saw Ning Zhiyun being framed at the palace banquet, her father and eldest sister were anxious to clear themselves, and at that time, the ninth princess thought of her own difficulties in the deep palace, and couldn't help but feel a little close to Ning Zhiyun.
"Princess, now in the palace we must abide by the rules, if the sun is out of this palace wall, the princess will be the courtier's confidant and friend."
The ninth princess treated Ning Zhiyun with a sincere heart, how could she not see it, how could the palace rules be strict, and they could not tolerate their wanton flying daughter's heart.
"Sister Ning, I'm happy to have your words!" The ninth princess, Shangguan Yunxin, is Emperor Qi's favorite princess, but she is also the loneliest princess in the eyes of everyone.
Ning Zhiwen accompanied the ninth princess to drink tea and talk, and in a blink of an eye, it was the moment of the unitary hour, seeing that the palace gate was about to be keyed, the ninth princess asked people to prepare a carriage to send Ning Zhixuan back to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.
On the carriage of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Xin picked up the curtain and observed the situation outside the car for a while, before approaching Ning Zhiyun and lowered her voice: "If it weren't for seeing the Ninth Princess with my own eyes today and listening to her heartfelt words, the slave really wouldn't believe that there are people with such simple minds in this deep palace." ”
"The ninth princess seems to be golden and noble, but who can understand the loneliness and loneliness in her heart." Ning Zhiyun's mother passed away when she was seven years old, she felt her mother's gentle care, compared with her own already worried life experience, Ning Zhiwen felt more and more pity for the ninth princess who lost her mother since childhood.
"Fortunately, God has mercy, although the ninth princess has lost her mother, she has a brother like the prince who protects her everywhere." Su Xin thought of the regret in Ning Zhiyun's eyes when she heard about the tribulations suffered by Shangguan Hanyue, and sighed deliberately, "It's not easy for the prince, who would have thought that the noble Prince Yu would suffer so much when he was young. ”
"People outside see that the children in the palace are born with gold, but how do they know that only those who can save their lives can enjoy such dignity." Ning Zhiyun deliberately restrained her emotions when she said this, "My life, my current dignity is not bought by my mother's desperate efforts." Ning Zhiyun said with bitter hatred in her tone: "Since God let me survive, I think I also acquiesced in the ending that those who harmed me will eventually have to pay for their blood debts." ”
