Chapter 059: The Past
Remember [Qianqian] in one second, and provide you with wonderful reading.
Qi Yunyi lit a fire, and the firelight illuminated this ruined temple, and also illuminated Ruyi's bright eyes.
Thinking of this way of sleeping in the open, Qi Yunyi looked at his wife's emaciated little face, and sighed in his heart, he hugged Ruyi's body, and constantly warmed the villain in his arms with the warmth of his chest.
Ruyi was indeed tired, she snuggled in her husband's arms, looking at the fire.
Qi Yunyi lowered his eyes, tightened Ruyi's thin shoulders slightly, and asked softly, "What are you thinking?" ”
"I'm thinking about ....." Ruyi raised her eyes in her husband's arms and asked in a low voice: "Since my husband is the eldest son of the emperor, at that time.... Why did you leave the palace, and why did we avoid people all the way and take the path now? ”
Qi Yunyi stroked his wife's delicate cheeks, listening to her words, a faint bitter smile appeared between the man's eyebrows.
"Ruyi, do you think that the eldest son of the emperor should be very powerful, right?"
Ruyi nodded, looking at her husband with puzzlement.
Although she has never seen the world, she also knows that the prince is a great figure, why should she live such a life incognito and flee?
"Ruyi, remember what I told you that my mother was from a humble background, and my father has always been ashamed of me, and he ..... Don't want me at all. ”
"But you're his child." Ruyi doesn't understand, even if the child's mother is from a humble background, the child is always his own flesh and blood!
Qi Yunyi smiled slightly, but there was a faint bitterness in his eyes, he hugged Ruyi, and only patiently explained to her, "Ruyi, Taizu once set the rules, if the queen of the middle palace has a son-in-law, then she will make the princess the prince, if there is no child in the middle palace, then the eldest son will inherit the unification, and the Great Qi has been established for hundreds of years. ”
Ruyi didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he asked, "That.... Does the queen have no sons? ”
Qi Yunyi's eyes were deep, and he only whispered as if talking to himself: "If there is a son in the middle palace, why is it like this." ”
After speaking, Qi Yunyi closed his eyes and continued to speak to his wife in his arms: "The queen has been in the palace for many years, and her knees have been empty, when her father favored Zheng Guifei and wanted her to give birth to her eldest son, but Zheng Guifei gave birth to two daughters one after another. ”
Speaking of this, Qi Yunyi paused before saying, "No one expected that the most humble palace maid who swept the court would just give birth to the emperor's eldest son. ”
"So.... Zheng Guifei is jealous of her mother-in-law? Ruyi asked.
Qi Yunyi bowed his head, "Although my mother was made a concubine, she was not as good as a slave, and the palace people bullied her everywhere in order to tie up with Concubine Zheng Guifei, and they didn't even give her enough food. ”
When Qi Yunyi said this, his voice became deeper and deeper, his pupils were deep, and there seemed to be flames in the depths of his eyes.
"Once, I sneaked away to see her, she saw me go, she liked it very much, quietly took out a few pieces of snacks from a small box, I don't know how long they were kept, her eyes couldn't see things clearly at that time, she didn't know that those snacks were moldy, she was reluctant to eat them, and when she saw me, she kept stuffing them into my mouth."
When Qi Yunyi said this, there was still no expression on his face, but his hands were involuntarily clenched secretly, and his eyes were even more crimson.
He couldn't tell what it was like. When he was young, he watched his mother being bullied, but he had no way, that kind of powerlessness was deeply imprinted in his heart, and he wanted to follow him for the rest of his life.
Ruyi on the side only felt that her heart was also hurting, she didn't know what to do, she only wrapped her husband's body, thinking of the sin suffered by Qiyunyi's mother and son, Ruyi's eyes couldn't stand the red, and she couldn't help asking: "What about the emperor?" Does the emperor care about you? ”
Hearing this, Qi Yunyi shook his head and said, "He never cares, he ..... And never wanted to see me. ”
Perhaps, he has always hoped that his eldest son can die quietly.
Qi Yunyi was silent and continued: "Before the third brother was born, Zheng Guifei also gave birth to a boy, but the child died before the full moon, so when Zheng Guifei gave birth to the third brother, his father always held him in the palm of his hand. ”
"Husband, were you very sad at that time?" Ruyi looked at her husband's side face, she didn't know how Qi Yunyi spent those days, watching her father love her younger brother very much, but turning a blind eye to him, that kind of feeling, it must be very uncomfortable, right?
Qi Yunyi held his daughter-in-law's hand, he remembered a few years ago, when he was just a seven or eight-year-old child, he had watched his father hold his younger brother in the imperial garden to play, and he had also watched his father teach his younger brother to practice calligraphy in the upper study, he had watched his father and Zheng Guifei Qin Se and Ming, while his mother lived in a dark and damp palace, eating leftovers and cold rice, and himself, although he was a prince, because of the prestige of Zheng Guifei, he had to live in obscurity and walk on thin ice.
"When I was a child, I was really sad." Qi Yunyi's voice was steady, looking at the little daughter-in-law in his arms, but there was a gentleness between his eyebrows, "Later, I got used to it." ”
He didn't tell Ruyi that when the third brother was born, his father wanted to grant amnesty to the world and make this son the crown prince, but he was opposed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
Emperor Honghua Longyan was furious, only said that his mother was from a humble background, and it was difficult to take on the responsibility for the reason that he refused, the stalemate between the monarch and the ministers for several years, Emperor Honghua favored Zheng Guifei, and for many years he did not establish the prince, but anyone among the ministers mentioned the establishment of the emperor's eldest son as the heir, they were all reprimanded by Emperor Honghua, over the years, there were countless officials who were degraded, and even the first assistant of the cabinet was not spared.
"Why did the husband go to the north later?" Ruyi remembered that when he was in the noodle shop that day, he met those merchants from the north, and Ruyi still remembers that when they mentioned the emperor's eldest son, they were all reverent.
Hearing Ruyi's question, Qi Yunyi never concealed it, but said: "That year, the Motuo people came to attack, and the defenders in the north were defeated and retreated. ”
After speaking, Qi Yunyi laughed at himself and said: "Actually, it was I who struggled in the palace and went to the frontier, maybe there will be a way to live." ”
"My husband won the battle in the North, didn't he?" Ruyi's eyes seemed to have light, she looked at her husband, remembering the words of those merchants, they had said that Qi Yunyi had made great contributions in the frontier, and beat those Hu people to the point that they did not dare to attack.
Qi Yunyi noticed the admiration in her eyes, and his heart softened, he nodded, and said, "Your husband is in the north and has fought countless victories. ”
Ruyi's heart was shocked, her eyes were as bright as stars, she looked at her husband in a daze, both excited and happy, a little face was just red, and she only whispered from the bottom of her heart: "Husband, you are so amazing." ”
Qi Yunyi snorted slightly and rubbed the top of her hair, but soon, the smile on the corner of his lips disappeared, and Ruyi saw it in his eyes, so he called him softly, "Husband, what's wrong?" ”
Qi Yunyi looked at the fire, and after a while, he said slowly: "Ruyi, I have charged into battle countless times on the battlefield, not only have I made great achievements, but at the same time, I have also established prestige, even my father.... Nor did he have the prestige he had. ”
"Isn't that good?" Ruyi doesn't understand.
"Not good." Qi Yunyi opened his mouth lightly, he took a deep breath, and saw the boundless dark night outside the window, just like his situation at this time.
"Concubine Zheng has always regarded me as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, after I was on the border, she slandered me in front of my father many times, slandered me, and after I made war exploits and won the support of the frontier soldiers, my father," Speaking of this, Qi Yunyi's eyes were sneering: "He was also afraid." ”
"What is he afraid of?" Ruyi was very ignorant, "Your Majesty.... Will you be scared too? ”
Qi Yunyi looked at his wife's clear eyes, his eyes were soft, he held Ruyi's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it gently, before saying: "The emperor will naturally be afraid, he is far more afraid than ordinary people." ”
。 ”
"Then he, will he also be afraid of his husband?" Ruyi asked.
"Ruyi, there is a fierce beast on the grassland, and when the cubs are not grown, it will bite all the cubs to death." Qi Yunyi's eyes were dark, and he looked at Ruyi.
"Why do you want to bite your own child?" Ruyi listened to the shock.
"It's afraid that the cub will grow up and one day replace it." Qi Yunyi's voice was low, and as soon as his words fell, Ruyi seemed to be blessed to his heart, and he understood in an instant.
"The husband is saying that the emperor is like a beast on the grassland, and he is afraid that the husband will rob him of the throne?" Ruyi blinked his eyes and spoke cautiously.
"The stupid daughter-in-law is not stupid this time." Qi Yunyi smiled at the corner of his lips and pinched Ruyi's little face.
