Chapter 41 The Brook Breeze Bathes in Late Autumn

"Your Majesty, what should this newborn little prince give him a name?"

"Poor and lowly and sorrowful, mediocre and jade are also successful. My first emperor named him Yucheng, and I hope he can inherit my throne and bring the Great Song Dynasty to prosperity....."

When the Song and Yuan Dynasty ascended the throne, it was the time of the Great Song Dynasty's troubles, although he was weak, he was very selfish and untrustworthy, and at the instigation of the ministers around him, he was all focused on crusading against Xiang and Hua, so that he had time to manage the harem, and Bai Yucheng's mother was also framed and hanged.

Although Bai Yucheng's mother's background is ordinary, he is the eldest son of Song Yuangong, and Song Yuangong at that time has not yet established a queen, so this child has become the eldest son of the Great Song Dynasty and the future prince.

When he was born, it snowed heavily, and the waters of the Yellow River were frozen for three days, and the annual growth plummeted. It is inevitable that there will be people in the palace who say that this son is probably the reincarnation of a bad star. Over time, even the nurse who was responsible for taking care of the child abandoned Bai Yucheng, who was only one year old, in the deep palace. His father, who was "busy with government affairs", naturally did not come to inquire about this son's life.

Born in the emperor's family, the fatherly love of ordinary people has become a luxury for the prince.

Without the protection of his parents and the care of his nurse, Bai Yucheng could only eat the pulp of grass and drink the water of dew to continue his life.

This life lasted for five years. The concubines of each palace also gave birth to princes, but the addition of brothers did not bring him happiness, but another layer of pain.

"How can you, a wild boy who is not loved by his father and the emperor, and who is not loved by his mother, be my royal brother, a person like you is only worthy of begging for food from us like a wild dog. If you want to live, you better hand over the crown prince as soon as possible, otherwise in the future, we will beat you up like we are now. ”

Three-year-old Bai Yuxin climbed on the small jade boots, stepped on Bai Yucheng's head, and said while slapping mud on his face: "Just your female doll's general face, I don't want to call you Brother Wang, you, you are only worthy of licking your shoes for this prince." ”

Bai Yucheng let him behave like this, didn't speak, didn't resist, and didn't even give him a look of disgust. was bullied, patted the dust, and went back to the old bedroom of the concubine to rest, take a good bath, wipe the blood marks off his face, and act as if nothing had happened.

Don't cry, don't make trouble, don't talk about grievances, and it's strong and distressing.

Once, Bai Yuxin and a little prince caught him, dragged him to a bamboo forest where few people went, tied dog chains to him, locked him under a thick green bamboo and teased him, and when they had had enough, they laughed and left.

The rain that night was dripping, but it was cold to the bone. Bai Yucheng's small body was soaked in muddy water, his wounds were also soaked in muddy water, and his clean white shirt was already stained with blood and mud, but even though he was dying, he still knelt like a kaolin flower, letting the rain wash his young cheeks.

What exactly is life? The master of the school said, "In the dark, everything has its variables, is this my life?" Sadness, pain, shame, is this what I was born to experience. Because I'm a sinister body, I have to accept all this with peace of mind? No, what will make me ruthless and unrighteous is never this fate, but the human heart.

But what do I care about? What do those people say and do, and what do they have to do with me? Now that you have recognized my temperament, when I have the ability to swing my army south, you will not blame me, and you will not be merciful when you take your life.

Originally, after that night, Bai Yucheng didn't want to endure it anymore. He will try his best to show in front of Song Yuangong to take back the power and favor that originally belonged to him from Bai Yuxin, so that he can feel the taste of being trampled underfoot. If necessary, for this brother, he will choose to kill him as soon as possible.

However, he met her.

"Hey, kid, who are you? What are you sitting here for? ”

The crisp sound like a stream breeze made Bai Yucheng slowly open his tired eyes. The girl in front of him is as old as him, her long black hair is curled into two small balls, the bun is tied with golden bells, the emerald green smoke yarn scattered flower skirt, the pale green paper umbrella, by the candlelight of the night light, the girl's eyes are as bright as stars.

"You speak. You won't be dumb, will you? Well...... It doesn't matter, the county lord won't dislike you, you go with me, I will treat you well. The girl untied the rope from the bamboo for him, and at once took his hand.

Looking at the girl's eyes, there was a faint light in Bai Yucheng's indifferent eyes.

Is this the temperature of a person? It was as if there had never been a hand, as warm as hers. Bai Yucheng didn't know why, at that time, without a trace of scruples and suspicions, he let the girl take his hand like this and take him out of this darkness.

The girl took his hand all the way and chattered like a little sparrow. Until her maid ran over in a panic and slapped the hands of the two together.

"County Lord, how can you play with him." The maidservant said to Xi Wan.

"He? He was a friend I made on the road. Xi Wan's face was full of joy, and she didn't seem to notice the disgusted look on her maid's face when she looked at Bai Yucheng.

"County Lord, you are a high-ranking county lord, how can you be friends with an alien like him, let's go quickly." The maidservant pushed Xi Wan.

Before leaving, she glanced back at Bai Yucheng and asked her maid curiously, "Sister Luoxia, what do you mean by being different?" ”

"Alien is a bad thing, it will bring bad luck to the people around him, so ah, the county wants to stay away from him, do you know?"

When he said this, the two of them were already some distance away from Bai Yucheng, but he could hear every word clearly.

Bai Yucheng's heart was not shocked.

I'm used to it, and everyone who hears the word heterogeneous wants to be alienated.

He silently returned to the palace alone, changed into a clean set of clothes, and began to practice swords.

The other princes went to the academy early to learn martial arts, but Bai Yucheng was self-taught whether it was knowledge or martial arts, because no master was willing to teach him, for fear of being infected by bad luck, even if he was the eldest son of a noble person. He is extremely talented, he can learn everything at once, and in terms of talent, he is better than all princes, but because of that ridiculous fate, he has fallen into such a field.

Bai Yucheng's anger is never written on his face, only through sword dancing can he vent the resentment in his heart, and the longer the sword dance, the deeper the resentment in his heart.

This time, he danced for a day and night.

When he came back to his senses, he found a small figure hidden behind the vermilion pillars, and the golden bells sparkled with the subtle swings of her body.

Bai Yucheng pretended not to see it and walked straight past her.

"Hey, hey, you wait." Xi Wan followed up from behind, panting and said, "Your name is Gongzi Yucheng, you are the future crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty." From today onwards, shall we be friends? ”

Bai Yucheng turned around and said to her, "Don't call it by this name, I don't like it." ”

"And what am I going to call you?"

"You don't have to call me, I don't need friends. In the future, there is no need to run again, didn't your handmaid tell you? I'm born with a bad body, and I'm going to bring disaster to you. ”

When Xi Wan heard this, she stepped forward and grabbed Bai Yucheng's hand, put it on her soft little face, and said with a smile: "Look, I met you, and it doesn't seem that there was a disaster." ”

"You ......" Bai Yucheng's face turned slightly red, and she shook off her hand.

"So whether it's Luoxia or those adults, they're all lying to us, how can there be any heavenly evil, it's just that you don't happen to be there when these bad things happen." The girl said with a smile, shining like a star in the sky.

"Can I come to see you practice swords often in the future?"

Bai Yucheng hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"We'll be friends from then on, my name is Feng Xiwan, what's your name?"

“....... Bai Yucheng. ”

Gongzi is the surname of Song Yuangong before he ascended the throne, so it stands to reason that his original surname Gongzi Bai is the surname of his mother's concubine. But he didn't want to admit that his father, who gave birth to him but didn't care about him, so he changed his surname.

"Bai Yucheng, I wrote it down. I am the daughter of King Anan, the righteous daughter of Your Majesty, and you must remember me. ”

Since then, Xiwan has been here every day to accompany Bai Yucheng and tell him the scenery, anecdotes and interesting facts she has seen. The originally monotonous and gloomy life seems to have become vivid and colorful because of Xi Wan's joining.

Bai Yucheng's blocked heart gradually opened to one person, and the smile on his face also bloomed for one person.

"Brother Yucheng, when I grow up, will you marry me?"

"Silly girl, I'm my brother, you're my sister, brother and sister can't get married."

"I don't care, I just want to marry you."

"Why?"

"I heard that as long as you become the wife of the prince's brother, you can have a lot of treasures."

"Well, when your hair reaches your waist, I'll marry you, okay?"

In the seventh year of Emperor Song and Yuan, the barbarians suddenly led their troops south, and the leader of the rebels was King Aguo.

At that time, Xi Wan was frolicking with Bai Yucheng in the county lord's mansion. The officers and soldiers broke in and took Xiwan away without saying a word.

"Why are you arresting me?" Xi Wan screamed and struggled.

"Who are you, this is the county lord's mansion!" Bai Yucheng was relatively calm, and took Xi Wan's hand and glared at the group of officers and soldiers.

"County Lord, Great Prince, we are just acting on orders, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Two children who have just turned seven years old, how can they compare their strength to a group of adults. The two small hands that were clasped together were forcibly pulled apart, and they called each other's names, but the distance between the two became farther and farther apart, until finally, life and death were separated.

Hearing the news that Xiwan was executed, Bai Yucheng ignored the guards and broke into the bedroom of Emperor Song Yuan late at night. He didn't even take the initiative to come to him when he was bullied, and this time he broke through for the sake of others.

"Father, why, why did you execute Xi Wan! King Ago led his troops south, what did she do! Bai Yucheng questioned him.

"Are you...... Yucheng bar. I heard that you have a good relationship with King Ago's daughter. My father will tell you today that her biggest mistake is that she is the daughter of a rebel leader, and her father, who has a lot of dealings with Fahrenheit, now wants to invade our country. When his daughter dies, he will suffer, he will suffer, and this will give vent to my anger. The corners of Emperor Song Yuan's mouth were slightly bloodthirsty smiles, like killing a red-eyed beast.
