Chapter 118: The Past Is Like Smoke

After Shi Zhiyi came out of the imperial study, he left with Concubine Fu's mother and son under the guidance of the little eunuch. Yi Ning and Concubine Fu walked in front, whispering their lovesickness after parting, while Yu Zhongqian and Shi Zhiyi followed them silently.

Taking advantage of the gap between their mother and daughter talking, Yu Zhongqian finally found an opportunity to speak: "Mother, this is the little righteousness that the child mentioned to you, Shi Zhiyi, the young city lord of Yunqi City. Along the way, Yi Ning was taken care of by him to return safely. ”

Shi Zhiyi stopped and saluted Concubine Fu: "Shi Zhiyi has seen Concubine Fu. I and the county lord of Yining supported each other, so that we had a chance to escape, and I can't say who took care of whom. ”

Concubine Fu took a deep look at Shi Zhiyi, looking at his face that was very similar to his father, and was a little distracted for a while. But she reacted immediately, nodded to Shi Zhiyi, and said, "I still have to thank Shi Shao City Lord for taking care of him, otherwise Yi Ning alone will definitely not be able to survive." If you need anything in the future, you can go directly to Zhong Qian. ”

After speaking, Concubine Fu took Yi Ning's little hand and turned to leave.

Yi Ning was dragged away by her mother, and she only had time to look back, and she didn't know what she wanted to say.

Yu Zhongqian didn't expect his mother's reaction to be so simple, and even a little cold, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Xiaoyi, my mother is not like this on weekdays, maybe when she saw Yi Ning come back today, she was so excited that she looked a little trance......

Shi Zhiyi interrupted him with a smile and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhongqian, why do you want to see the outside world like this, I understand." It's not necessarily good for me to do this. ”

Among the many concubines of Emperor Jingchang, if you talk about appearance, Concubine Fu is a well-deserved first. Emperor Jingchang, who was still the eldest prince at the beginning, pursued her with great effort, and even chased her from Kyoto to Puzhou repeatedly, most of the reasons were also attracted by her sunken appearance.

But Fu Qinghan at that time already had a marriage contract, so it was naturally impossible to agree to him. After repeatedly hitting a wall, Emperor Jingchang almost gave up.

Later, due to Shi Huaichuan's repentance, Fu Qinghan was disheartened and agreed to Emperor Jingchang's pursuit, which made Emperor Jingchang ecstatic, and held the wedding with the most grand etiquette to pick her up. In the days of the wedding, almost all the fireworks and firecrackers in Kyoto were purchased by Emperor Jingchang.

In the first few years after the wedding, Emperor Jingchang favored Fu Qinghan very much, and it can be said that he regarded him as a treasure and responded to his requests.

At the beginning, he knew that there was a marriage contract between Fu Qinghan and Shi Huaichuan, but he still chased after him, and he may not have the idea of competing with Shi Huaichuan in the love field. But after a long time, the marriage contract between the two, which had long been invalidated, became a thorn in the heart of Emperor Jingchang.

Because of this thorn in the heart, a few years later, Emperor Jingchang gradually became indifferent to Fu Qinghan, plus he finally ascended the throne as the emperor, and his affairs were busy, and sometimes, Fu Qinghan couldn't even see Emperor Jingchang for a month.

Fu Qinghan Bingxue is smart, and she can see this little bit of her husband's thoughts very clearly. But she is already a wife, and her husband is the king of a country, so all the previous children and daughters naturally have to be put away, even if there are thousands of grievances, they are buried in the bottom of their hearts.

Until Yu Zhongqian and Yu Yining's two children grew up, one was a graceful and humble gentleman, and the other was innocent, lively and intelligent, all of whom were quite pleasing to Emperor Jingchang; moreover, the Fu family had never regarded themselves as relatives of the emperor because of this family matter, Fu Tianru sometimes came to Kyoto to visit his sister, and when he met Emperor Jingchang, he would also pay homage as a monarch and minister, and compared with several other trivial troubles, it seemed outstanding, and Emperor Jingchang's attitude towards Concubine Fu gradually improved.

After Yu Zhongqian returned from Puzhou, although both of them were immersed in the grief caused by Yi Ning's disappearance, Yu Zhongqian occasionally mentioned to her his new friend. Thinking that the person who thought he would spend his life with also had his own children, Fu Qinghan couldn't help but feel a trace of amazement and curiosity about Shi Zhiyi in his heart.

The moment she stepped into the imperial study today, she saw Shi Zhiyi's back, and knew that it must be Shi Huaichuan's son. Although Shi Zhiyi was bowing down to thank him at that time, his posture was as tall as a pine, and his arrogance was hidden but not obvious, and Shi Huaichuan was like a mold carved out of the same mold.

However, no one in the world understands his husband's mind better than him, and she knows that if she pays even the slightest more attention to Shi Zhiyi, it will probably be a blessing or a curse to bring to this child.

Therefore, although she was extremely grateful to Shi Zhiyi for saving her daughter, and marveled at the arrangement of fate in the dark, so that the younger generation could meet strangely in the vast sea of people, she could only bury her curiosity, gratitude and stomach problems deep in her heart, and did not dare to show any traces.

Fortunately, Shi Zhiyi's mind was clear, after Prince Rui's mention and Emperor Jingchang's attitude towards him in the imperial study, combined with what Old Man Fu had said to him before, he could see Concubine Fu's kindness at a glance, and when he saw Yu Zhongqian's guilty look, he had to say something thoroughly.

Yu Zhongqian is naturally not a fool, he understands it at one point, and suddenly understands in his heart, pats Shi Zhiyi's shoulder, and the two continue to move forward.

"Xiaoyi, where are you going to live during your time in Kyoto?" asked Yu Zhongqian.

"Our family has a house in Kyoto, located at No. 7 A on Heian Street, which was purchased by our ancestors, and we would live there whenever someone in the family came to participate in the Spring Festival. Our family can't come to Kyoto once in ten or eight years, so we will be taken care of by a trustworthy old housekeeper on weekdays. ”

Yu Zhongqian wrote it down in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Today in the imperial study, although my father is silent, this matter must be very important, and in the near future, I am afraid that there will be a storm." We are in the game, naturally it is impossible to hide, you are out these days, you have to be more careful. ”

Seeing Yu Zhongqian put his heart to himself like a brother, and explained everything in detail, Shi Zhiyi was moved in his heart and responded one by one.

During the conversation, the two had already arrived at the gate of the palace, and Yu Zhongqian, as the prince, was inconvenient to leave the palace at will without an edict, so he stopped there. After the two said goodbye, Yu Zhongqian wandered around alone, asked for directions, and walked in the direction of Ping'an Street.

Heian Street is located in the best part of Kyoto, less than a cup of tea away from the Imperial Palace. On both sides of the street, there are high-rise mansions and courtyards, with ancient trees towering to the sky, and it is obvious that the people who live here are either rich or expensive.

The house with the number A belongs to the top in the entire Ping'an Street, but I don't know how much silver the ancestors of the Shi family spent to put a house here.

When I found No. 7, I saw that the vermilion gate was light, and a pair of jade unicorns made of pure white Xiuyu in front of the door were abnormal, and it was obvious that someone often maintained them carefully. Above the eaves, a pair of big red lanterns are hung high, illuminating the door with bright lights.

Shi Zhiyi praised in his heart, and was about to step forward and knock on the door, when he suddenly looked up, but saw two big golden characters clearly written on the plaque on a black background: "Zhu Mansion".
