Chapter Twenty-Three: The Past of Fuliu
The bright moon hung high, and the slave sat on the Luohan Collapse thoughtfully, and an emerald wrench was lying quietly in the palm of his hand. The scene of Lu Zhi handing this thing into his own hands kept coming to mind. She was puzzled, and always felt that this wrench was strange.
And Lu Zhi's words confused her even more, and he exuded a resolute and unspeakable sadness and shame. He didn't say much, but Nu'er vaguely felt like a suicide note.
"Isn't the county lord resting so late?" Fang Gu slowly walked to her side and wrapped the thick blanket around her.
"Can you send someone to pick up Bai Shuang?"
"The girl is only the county lord today, and Bai Shuangxu will not be able to enter the palace in a few days. Moreover, this internal affairs office still needs to do something to facilitate Bai Shuang's registration in the palace. ”
"I remember that today the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent some jewelry and clothes, and 500 taels of silver. Thirty taels of you go and take care of it. As he spoke, the slave found a red thread, tied the wrench around his neck, and put it in his shirt. Then she looked up at Aunt Fang, "You used to serve by the Queen Mother's side, you should know my mother, right?" ”
Fang Gu nodded, "Yes." Speaking of which, Aunt Wei is also a slave and grew up. ”
"In that case, can you tell me about my mother's past? It's ridiculous to say, although I am my mother's daughter, I haven't mentioned a word about her in the palace since I was a child. A lot of things I heard from other people's mouths and guessed them myself. The slave sighed slightly. My mother loves her very much and loves Wei Yi very much. She was weak, but for them she could show her last remaining majesty like a lioness, just so that her children could have a hot meal. But what about other than that? She didn't know anything.
Fang Gu slowly walked to the window, she looked at the round moon, and couldn't help but feel in her heart. Remembering the past, she spoke quietly.
"Miss Fuliu was born into a family of generals, and later her father, brother and relatives died on the battlefield. The first emperor was merciful and put the only remaining daughter of the Wei family into the palace and handed over to the queen mother, who was the concubine at that time. Shengshang is the same age as Miss Fuliu, and they grew up together since childhood, and they are childhood sweethearts. ”
And Miss Fuliu gradually grew up, she was born extremely beautiful, and she was familiar with poetry and books, and she was a famous talented woman at that time. Later, the first emperor allowed her to be the female official of the harem, and Miss Fuliu walked into the eyes of the world from the harem. She is very capable and has single-handedly organized many major banquets. is the dream lover of many princes and nobles, and the perfect woman in the eyes of many people. At that time, the number of people who proposed to her was innumerable. Just ......"
"Just what?" Nu'er asked.
She rejected them. I don't know the reason, but I heard that Miss Fuliu is engaged to the saint for life, and she is no longer married to the saint in this life. But at that time, the saint was not a saint, just an ordinary prince, he was sent by the first emperor to quell the chaos, and he was gone for several years. Miss Fuliu has never been married, but she is just busy with the chores of the harem as usual. Until one day, the first emperor suddenly ordered Miss Fuliu to be given to General Lu Zhi as his wife. ”
The slave held his cheeks and asked, "Why did the first emperor suddenly make an order?" ”
"Xu is because Miss Fuliu is old, and Xu is because of General Lu Zhi's heroic posture at that time. Just when everyone thought that Miss Fuliu would make a big fuss, she quietly resigned from the Shanggong and married General Lu Zhi in a sedan chair. Later, the saint was victorious, the class teacher returned to the court, and then he also married the grassland princess Namu Zhong, and was made the crown prince a year later. ”
Nu'er fell into deep thought, it stands to reason that Yi Niang's stubborn nature should have been waiting for the return of the saint, but why did she marry Lu Zhi willingly and quietly, but she was just a flat wife. At that time, she obviously had so many choices......
Mother, what were you thinking at the time?
Miss Fuliu got married, and the slave maid was then sent to the Lu Mansion. When he first got married, General Lu was actually very good to Miss. How indifferent Miss Rao is is to him, he will also come to eat and chat with Miss every day. He didn't care about the mood of the young lady's mood of joy and anger, but was willing to try all kinds of ways to please her. Then there was a girl, you. ”
"Once the general was sent out to fight, and it was only two months after the general left that the young lady found out that she was pregnant. This is the later Wei Yi Gongzi. Later, when the general returned from the battle, he was very happy to see Childe. It is also doubly good to Miss, the slave maid once heard the general talk about turning Miss into the only lady of the Lu Mansion. But it didn't take long for the Jade Pendant Incident to happen. ”
The eldest lady took someone out of a piece of jade pendant from under the lady's pillow and handed it to the general, and the general rushed out of the door without even giving the lady a chance to explain when he saw the jade pendant. The young lady begged to see the general many times, but the general didn't seem to believe in the young lady anymore. He changed, became cold and cruel, no longer good to Miss, and no longer tolerated Miss's bad temper. He ignored the young lady, and turned a blind eye to the eldest lady's embarrassment. ”
"You don't have to say it again. I know what happened next. The slave's heart was heavy, she didn't know what to say, she just felt panicked. Only she knows how much her mother has been wronged. It's that she can't protect her mother and brother. The slave's hand gripped the corner of the blanket as she struggled to restrain the anger, unwillingness, and grievances that welled up in her heart.
Is this your life? Mother.
Why would you be willing to abandon your childhood sweetheart and marry your father?
Why would my father conclude that you are out of the wall based on just a piece of jade pendant? He didn't even believe that Wei Yi was his own son.
Why don't you resist? Don't want to clear your name?
There are too many questions that cannot be answered in the slave's heart, and she firmly believes that what Aunt Fang said is only partial, and the answer to the question can only be known when Bai Shuang, the only one who knows her mother's past, enters the palace.
