Chapter 41: The Princess of the Light Pole (I)

What kind of woman is Empress Yuan? Let the top men in Quan Dayan fall in love, and it will definitely not be based on their looks alone. But such a smart and beautiful woman has character flaws, she did not resist her fate, but accepted the arrangement of her family and fate, knew what was waiting for her, and did not dare to face her sincerity, step by step towards a tragic life.

What she did was just to be passive and defensive, and try to spread an invisible protective net for her son.

From this point of view, she is not a brave woman, but a fearless mother.

"Old man Gan is the oldest, right?" Shi Zhongyu asked suddenly. Judging from the age of Gan's grandfather's son, when he met Chen Lihua, the queen of the Yuan, he should already be a married man. Is it for this that the Empress Yuan did not fight?

"When he met Empress Yuan, he had three sons, but Mrs. Yuan had already passed away." Xia Shixiong didn't know why Shi Zhongyu asked this, but he still replied.

Shi Zhongyu had never seen Gan Duo, but he heard that this person was brave and violent, jealous and hateful, and he was extremely incompatible with Murong Ke in the court. Now it seems that everything is his game, and with this kind of superficial conflict, he will confuse the eyes of the former emperor, so that at the most critical time, he will give Murong Ke the most powerful help. His thoughts, considering that he never married later, and did not hesitate to give up his reputation and status in the family to help Murong Ke flee south, it can be seen that Empress Yuan did not love the wrong person.

Such a weak, beautiful and extremely intelligent girl, compared to others, must be more likely to fall in love with a mature and stable man, rough on the outside but delicate on the inside, and brave in battle. Suddenly, Shi Zhongyu seemed to understand the heart of the Empress Yuan, the admiration for strength, the feeling of being cared for, and the unswerving loyalty to death. And their love was not discovered by the emperor, which shows that it was affectionate and polite. Their promise to each other rests only on two hearts, two poorly carved wooden hairpins.

This kind of love can only exist in ancient times. It is precisely because of the fire of love that this man has buried in his heart for decades that he can do without questioning or doubting each other.

"Does Empress Yuan ask you to protect His Royal Highness King Yu?" She asked with a sigh.

"She only said: Shixiong, can you help me watch Ke'er?" When Xia Shixiong recalled Empress Yuan's words, he was not jealous or unwilling at all because Empress Yuan loved Gan Duo but did not love him, but his expression was gentle and quiet, "At that time, His Royal Highness King Yu was only a little older, and she knew that her son was wildfire, and it was difficult for anyone to trap him. If you don't get it right, you burn others and burn yourself. So Xiaoyu, when I saw that His Royal Highness King Yu cared about you, I felt that you were the one who could trap his wildfire. I help you, in fact, I help myself, even if I train crickets and steamed buns, I also want you to enter the house in the future, and there are people around you to rely on. This palace is also a battlefield. ”

"You already knew I was a woman?" Shi Zhongyu was surprised, "Where did I show a flaw?" ”

Xia Shixiong smiled and nodded, "It's not that you have flaws, it's that I inadvertently took your pulse, and I often stay with the talented doctor, so I know some medical skills." ”

I see! Shi Zhongyu suddenly realized.

In the past, the godfather was so good to her, not because she was cute, but because the godfather wanted to protect Murong Ke. But she has nothing to be disappointed in, she likes people who are good to Murong Ke. Including King Ningshan. Murong Ke went all the way south because Mingjing, the fief of King Dingshan, was in the extreme south. It is a bit like the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if he is now a major soldier and a few generals, if he really nests in those 100,000 mountains, the Dayan Imperial Court will have nothing to do with him.

"You have fulfilled Empress Yuan's entrustment and lived up to her trust. I believe that the Empress Yuan will be pleased in the spirit of heaven. Shi Zhongyu grabbed Xia Shixiong's arm, "Besides, your goddaughter is going to continue the descendants of King Yu, you really have a great credit!" ”

Her words made Xia Shixiong laugh, and that was exactly what she was trying to do.

The godfather is very pitiful, he has lost his sweetheart, his limbs are disabled, and the evening scene is lonely. In view of his kindness to Murong Ke, she also wants to help him get out of his psychological predicament and live happily and easily, without having to struggle between imperial power and promise, the Xia family and the Murong family.

"You're going to protect your grandson from now on." She relieved Xia Shixiong again.

The two of them talked and laughed, and it was too late. Since she was pregnant, Shi Zhongyu was more sleepy than a pig, and fell asleep not long after returning to the house. I don't know if it's the relationship of revisiting the old land, this night, she dreamed of Murong Ke. He smiled at her, and she woke up crying.

I said...... Woke up or not. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard Ganquan talking outside, awkwardly, obviously not knowing how to get along with Shi Zhongyu.

Shi Zhongyu was not annoyed, and asked, "What are you looking for me?" "Presumably, the kind of eldest lady is good without being waited, and she is definitely not here to wait for her to get up.

"His Royal Highness King Ling has come down, waiting for you outside." Ganquan said loudly, "Hurry up, see that His Royal Highness King Ling is very anxious." ”

As soon as Shi Zhongyu heard it, he knew that it was Murong Chu who knew that the Queen Mother had sent someone to the Lingwang Mansion, so she made thirty-six plans. Now that he is willing to come in person, he must have thought of a solution, at least to protect her temporarily. So I didn't ask much, and I dressed and washed quickly. As a pregnant woman, you should stay away from all cosmetics, especially the ancient rouge gouache is said to still contain a lot of lead, so I came to the main house with a plain face and simple clothes.

Murong Chu was talking to Xia Shixiong, and when he saw Shi Zhongyu coming in, he felt that his eyes lit up. I don't know why, I always feel that she is getting more and more beautiful day by day, so that he can't let go of the heart he is trying to let go. She has a child of her seventh brother, what is he still worried about?

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Ling." The jade in the stone blessed the body.

Murong Chu couldn't help laughing, "I haven't seen how polite you are on weekdays, what's wrong today?" ”

"In front of the godfather, of course, everyone should show off a little bit." Shi Zhongyu smiled lightly, and his eyebrows seemed to flash.

Murong Chu hurriedly staggered his eyes and said to Xia Shixiong, "I didn't hear Xia Lao talk about it, and accepted Xiaoyu as his goddaughter." ”

"The old man is ashamed." Xia Shixiong said, the feeling of flying happiness has indeed not dissipated, but the eyes that looked at Shi Zhongyu were extremely spoiled and natural.

"So what did you just talk about?" Shi Zhongyu asked.

"You want to go back to the house as Princess Yu." Murong Chu said, his expression darkened. He appeared too late, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't be undone after all. Or, he and her are just a paper marriage. If you lose that piece of paper, you're nothing.

Shi Zhongyu didn't notice Murong Chu's expression, and only asked anxiously, "What does His Royal Highness the King of Ling think?" Is this possible? Will the emperor agree? ”

Murong Chu really wanted to keep Shi Zhongyu by his side, even if she didn't belong to him, it would be good to be able to watch it every day. But he had always been a sane man, and knew that it would not be beneficial to either of them, so although he was unwilling, he still nodded and said, "This plan is very good, it can isolate the external threat, and it is convenient for me to send people to strengthen protection." Second, it has the meaning of the court and the emperor's grace. Three, hope to move the world
