Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 36 The Mother and Princess
The imperial court specially built the Four Seas Mansion for the envoys of the shark tribe.
Yu Yao looked at the newly handed prayer note from the subordinates, bowed her head and read it in contemplation.
This is the invitation letter issued by the crown prince Gu Cang in his personal name, three days later, he will hold a grand winter poetry meeting in the prince's mansion in Dongcheng, the nobles and celebrities in the entire Liang country in the capital, the poets and the Confucian writers have received his invitation, and even some of the princes and princesses in the palace are invited.
"This party is really one after another, I can't imagine that this human race and my shark clan really have something in common. Bei Chu sighed.
The Shark Clan occupies a huge sea area, which is very rich in products, except for those Shark warriors who are fighting outside, the atmosphere within the Shark Clan can be called extravagant to the extreme, there are not a few people who live in drunken dreams and death every day, he Beichu is one of them, so not only will he not think much about this kind of banquet invitation one after another, but he is eager to try, very excited.
Yu Yao is not such a brainless commodity as Bei Chu, and can only sigh at the moment: "Prince Gu Cang's invitation, I have to go, besides, regardless of the rest, this Gu Cang's poems and essays should be a must, all kinds of styles are familiar with it, and it covers a wide range, from the style of Saibei, to the small scenery of Jiangzhou, the family and the country, and the friendship is lingering, but it can be worthy of the name of the poet saint, it belongs to his poetry collection in the most widely spread in the clan, and there are not a few people who love him. β
"As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world, if the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight. Fu Yin whispered the verses in Gu Cang's poetry collection, and nodded thoughtfully, " This second prince is indeed a poet holy hand, this Cowherd and Weaver Girl is a legend in the sea world, it is said that an ancestor of my shark clan fell in love with a scholar of the human race, but was not allowed by the sea emperor at that time, with a great spell to separate the two, love across the mountains and seas, mountains and seas can not be flattened, and later the two died after the rise into the sky, become the stars, throughout the ages, originally chanted this story, most of the attention will be on the sympathy for the two and the resentment of the sea emperor, only this second son is ingenious, written is the happiness of the two people meeting, the finishing touch at the end, but also woke up countless people in their dreamsγγγγγγγ β
When Fuyin said this, he suddenly stopped, closed his mouth and said no more, Bei Chu didn't understand, but he didn't notice anything, but Yuyao, who had taken care of Fuyin since he was a child, frowned slightly, as if he noticed something, but he didn't ask after all.
Yongle Palace.
Gu Xuan just returned home and sat down, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then carefully recalled Gu Cang's words, only to feel even more shocked.
The system of the human race for thousands of years, that is etiquette, is an invisible rule that lies between heaven and earth, the status of the king of heaven and earth is even in front of the relatives who are connected by blood and the teacher who preaches and solves doubts, it can be seen that the weight of the king, and Gu Cang's so-called change, to put it bluntly, is to be the enemy of the middle and upper class people of the entire human race, and to change the whole world with his own strength, how arrogant this is, not to mention that the low-level people he wants to fight for the interests of him may not necessarily understand and fight for him, this kind of battle, Gu Xuan only felt a sense of loneliness that overwhelmed peopleγ
But in all fairness, he really wanted to try.
Gu Cang is right, born in the aristocracy, it is natural to safeguard the interests of the nobles, because it is also the aristocracy who supports them to ascend, which no one can break free, the innate shackles, those who can really care about the people, must be born among the people.
However, he is that special case, although he is the prince of Liangguo, but his mother is an ordinary commoner, he himself has been bullied by his brothers since he was a child, and he has seen too many examples of people being oppressed by the government, he has seen too many inequality, so he is a person who is eager for change from the bottom of his bones.
It is the shark clan that has changed his life, and one of his best friends is the earth clan, all the creatures in this sea realm, everyone should be equal, and everyone should seek each other's well-being together.
He finally figured it out, and made a plan for himself from the bottom of his heart, he put down the teacup and got up and walked out.
"Mother, I want to leave the capital. β
Gu Xuan said bluntly.
Sitting on the soft couch is doing some simple work to pass the time, Concubine Li was shocked, since entering the palace, she put all her hopes on this son, although the son was a little stupid when he was a child, but he has been well-behaved and sensible when he grew up, and he is filial to himself, which makes her feel lonely in the palace and she can't leave this son even more, and now she suddenly heard him say that he was leaving, which really shocked her.
Maybe at this time she suddenly woke up, it turned out that the child had grown up.
She looked at Gu Xuan's determined eyes, she swallowed the why she subconsciously wanted to ask and the words she wanted to stop, put it in her heart, and just held Gu Xuan's hand lovingly.
"No matter what Xuan'er wants to do, mother will support you!"
The only trace of worry and confusion in Gu Xuan's heart was melted away by a strong maternal love, he got up and walked in front of Concubine Li, knelt on the ground, and couldn't cry.
"Mother. β
Such a reasonable mother, but it makes it more difficult for him to let go, if he leaves, his mother will really be left alone, who will take care of her at that time, who will chat with her to relieve her boredom?
Concubine Li was teary-eyed, but she couldn't help but cry, but gently patted Gu Xuan's back, soothing his emotions with tenderness as if she were a baby.
After a while, Gu Xuancai finally stood up, but his eyes were still red and swollen.
It made my mother smile. Gu Xuan stretched out his hand and wiped it vigorously, a little embarrassed.
Concubine Li smiled: "Silly boy, what's embarrassing to me, I just don't know where you are going to leave the imperial city, how long you are going, can you ask your father's permission?"
Although the prince can enter and leave the palace at will, but without permission, he is not allowed to travel far, one is to protect the royal people, after all, you are the prince of a country, and it is a waste of people's fat and people to travel with great fanfare, but if you bring less guards, what if you are killed secretly by people from enemy countries or people who don't know what to do, the second is that the prince represents the face of the royal family, and every move must be in accordance with the rules, when the time comes, the rules will be broken, and it will be bad for him.
Gu Xuan heard his mother's inquiry, and only then did he begin to formally introduce it.
"As a prince, I should also worry about the country, I have asked for instructions before, this trip is to go to the border side of Liangzhou as an official, the place is not far away, I will be able to come back often to visit my mother. β
He deliberately lied, but also to not let his mother worry, after all, the words 'Youzhou border' are too dangerous, even if his mother still understands in the end and allows him to leave, but why let her worry in vain, and Liangzhou is the hinterland, wrapped in the rest of the five continents, and it is also the place where the capital is located, being an official in Liangzhou is the most leisurely, and my mother will not worry if I want to come.
"Liangzhouγγγγγγ Concubine Li was silent for a moment, and her eyes glanced away for a moment, but she immediately turned around again, and said with a smile, "Liangzhou is good, Liangzhou is good, I am relieved to go to Liangzhou." β
Gu Xuan hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you mother for your understanding, but I can't come to the hall every day to fulfill my filial piety, and I hope my mother will understand." β
"Silly child, which mother doesn't want her son to become a dragon, what you want to do, do it boldly, people live for a lifetime, some things might as well try, don't regret it at the age of your mother, you won't have the courage to change." β
Concubine Li said that in the end, she was obviously persuading with empathy, but Gu Xuan didn't know how to comfort her, and at this moment, a maid outside suddenly preached in a loud voice.
"Niangniang, Fifth Master, Lord Ye has arrived. β
The secretary of the ministry knows Huai at night, and here it is again.
Gu Xuan frowned, thinking that he knew what this person was doing again, and he was suddenly a little displeased.
Instead, Concubine Li patted Gu Xuan's shoulder in understanding.
"Xuan'er, Lord Night must have come to you again, hurry up. β
Yongle Palace is doing quite well now, this Lord Night has really contributed a lot, especially the Kaizhi Elixir back then, which makes her have a very good impression of Ye Zhihuai, at least she still thinks that her son's spiritual wisdom is opened because of the elixir, and she naturally urges her son to go at the moment, although she doesn't want her son to be involved in the royal dispute, but as she said, what mother doesn't want her son to be good?
Whether to fight or not is not what she wants to interfere with, but no matter what, the mother will always support her child.
