One hundred and sixty-three
At noon on this day, Chun Yu Zheng had just gotten up from the couch after the lunch break, and a temple man walked in and saluted Chun Yu Zheng, "Your Majesty, the twelve princesses have returned to the palace and are waiting outside the palace." ”
Under the service of all the maidservants, Chun Yuzheng quickly got dressed and washed up. Chun Yuzheng walked to the futon next to the low table and sat down, and quickly replaced it with fresh fruits and pastries, and made a pot of good tea.
Chun Yuzheng said: "Let her in!" ”
The temple people bowed and then withdrew. A moment later, Chun Yu Hanwei walked in, and he saluted Chun Yu Zheng, "Erchen greets his father!" ”
Chun Yuzheng smiled: "Sit down!" ”
Chun Yu Hanwei and Chun Yu Zheng sat down face to face. Chun Yuzheng said with concern: "Wei'er, why did you turn back again?" ”
Chun Yu Hanwei didn't want to say that Huaxuan rebelled, so she lied: "Xuzhou fell, and Hanwei's husband died in the war." ”
As soon as these words came out, Chun Yu Hanwei's tears flowed down in a stream. Chun Yu Hanwei only felt that her whole body was so cold and her heart was so cold, she stood up, walked to Chun Yuzheng's side and sat down, she stretched out her hands, hugged Chun Yuzheng, and cried: "Father, father, my son's heart hurts...... Father, I hate him so much......"
Hate him for lying to me!
I hate him for using me on my wedding day to slaughter my people. But I can't say a word to you about all this, because I love him, and I don't want him to die!
Chun Yuzheng reached out and gently stroked Chun Yu Hanwei's back to comfort her.
The more Chun Yu Hanwei cried, the more painful her heart became, until she finally cried until she coughed violently all over her body, and she couldn't breathe.
Hua Xuan is not only Chun Yu Hanwei's short-term happiness, but also her eternal pain. If you knew that the ending would be like this, how could you not know each other at the beginning!
Chun Yuzheng comforted Chun Yu Hanwei for a while, and Chun Yu Hanwei calmed down and wiped away her tears.
Chun Yu Hanwei didn't think at all that Hua Xuan's use of her to restore the country was just the beginning of pain, what really broke her heart was Chun Yudang's ruthlessness, which dragged her into the infernal hell.
After Chun Yu Hanwei's mood was completely stabilized, Chun Yu Zhengcai said heavily, "Wei'er, my father may have to be sorry for you once." ”
Looking at Chun Yuzheng's complicated look in his eyes, Chun Yu Hanwei's heart jumped, always feeling that something bad was about to happen, Chun Yu Hanwei called softly: "Father! ”
Chun Yuzheng hesitated in his heart for a while, and then sighed helplessly, "Han Wei, I have decided to send you to Ning Aoguo and his relatives!" ”
A sentence is like a slap in the head, making her lose her mind instantly, like five thunderbolts, making her heart ache, like a downpour, drenching her whole body stiff.
Chun Yu Hanwei was so frightened that even her breath began to tremble. She forced her emotions and forced a smile: "Father, father, you are joking with your sons, right?" ”
Although Chun Yuzheng was heartbroken, he was an emperor and should put the interests of the people first. Therefore, he still held back his emotions and said, "It's not a joke, it's a serious joke." ”
"Seriously?" This is undoubtedly a double blow to Chun Yu Hanwei, she has not yet come out of Hua Xuan's betrayal, and now she has to face peace again.
Chun Yu Hanwei's body was weak, she sat down on the ground, her tears fell quickly, and she begged silently: "Father, I don't want to be with you, father, I don't want to go to Ning Aoguo and relatives, beg my father, don't ...... Let me...... Go...... Ahhhh......h
Chun Yu Hanwei kept kowtowing as she spoke, "Father, son, please don't go...... I'm not going to ......."
Chun Yuzheng said solemnly: "Wei'er, since you were born in the royal family and became a princess of a country, then you should bear the responsibility that a princess of a country should bear, and harmony is your responsibility, Wei'er, in a few days, after the envoys sent by Yongchun Kingdom to Ning Aoguo come back, you should go and kiss!" ”
After Chun Yu finished speaking, he ignored Chun Yu Hanwei's sad pleading, and left resolutely.
Chun Yuzheng's departure made Chun Yu Hanwei disheartened, she closed her eyes, tears kept flowing, and there was only cold in her heart, and there was no warmth.
Maybe this is the life of a princess, throughout the ages, the use value of all princesses is political, without exception.
Chun Yudang came to the small courtyard where he lived when he was once demoted to a commoner. Gu Ling was drying clothes in the courtyard, and when she saw Chun Yudang's arrival, Gu Ling was ecstatic, she put down the work in her hand and ran over.
Chun Yudang smiled softly: "Ah Ling, how are you doing?" ”
Gu Ling smiled: "It's good!" ”
Chun Yudang stretched out his hand and stroked Gu Ling's head dotingly, "Ah Ling, are the things I send every day enough?" ”
Gu Ling nodded, "Enough, not only enough, but more!" ”
"If you are not afraid of too many things, you are afraid that you will not have enough. If only you think enough is enough! Chun Yudang took out a folded paper from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Ling, after Gu Ling took it, Chun Yudang explained: "There is a tiger-shaped rune painted on this piece of paper, and it will be hard for Ah Ling to help me take it to the place where the iron is struck, and make a piece, I will come to pick it up early tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay, I got it."
"Okay, then I'll go first, you take good care of yourself, wait a few days, I'll finish all the things in the palace, and I'll pick you up again."
Gu Ling responded obediently: "Well, good! ”
After finishing his words, he turned and left.
In the Meteorite Pavilion, Sui An sat alone in front of the bed, crying and crying. Yueqing walked in, now Sui'an is the thirteenth princess, Yueqing must have saluted when she saw Sui'an, after all, the identity is different.
Yueqing saluted to Sui An, "The maid has seen the princess!" ”
Sui An hurriedly helped Sui An up while crying, "You can get even!" Don't salute me! ”
Yueqing stood up straight and comforted: "Princess, don't cry, Niangniang died for you, she doesn't regret it, and she won't blame you." Yueqing sighed lightly and said sadly: "It's just that she didn't hear you call her the queen mother when she was dying, I guess this is her biggest regret." ”
Before Sui An could speak, a temple man's voice came from outside the door, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Sui An wiped away his tears, Sui An has been a servant for many years and has become accustomed to kneeling.
After Chun Yuzheng walked in, Sui An and Yue Qing knelt down and saluted, and said in unison: "Son, meet the emperor!" ”
"Get up!"
After Sui An and Yueqing got up, Chun Yuzheng ordered: "Sui An stays, and the rest of the people retreat!" ”
Everyone said in unison, "Wow! ”
After speaking, everyone came out.
Chun Yuzheng approached Sui An, and Sui An took two steps back in fear. Chun Yuzheng no longer approached.
"Sui An, how old are you this year?" Chun Yuzheng asked
"Your Majesty, the servant is sixteen years old this year!"
"Sixteen!" Chun Yuzheng smiled bitterly, and then sighed lightly, "Yes, if the queen's child is born, it will be sixteen by now." ”
Chun Yuzheng looked at Sui An quietly, Sui An's facial features were much similar to Ning Xuan, and Chun Yuzheng seemed to be able to see Ning Xuan's figure from Sui An's body.
Chun Yuzheng smiled and said casually: "Sui An, if the queen didn't hide you sixteen years ago, you should enjoy all the treatment of the princess." Sui An, I owe the queen, so, I will make up for it, the queen hopes that you can go out of the palace as a commoner, and I respect your choice, do you want to be a princess in the palace and enjoy glory and wealth, or do you want to go outside the palace to be a commoner? ”
If you are a princess, you will not be free. The palace is a cage, and although there is glory and wealth, there is no freedom. Born as a human being, who wants to be trapped in one place all their lives, the world is so big, if you don't go around to see it, wouldn't you live in vain?
Besides, if I am really the emperor's daughter, then wouldn't it be impossible for me and King An?
Sui An unconsciously shed tears, how much she liked Chun Yuzhao, but at the most critical time, Chun Yuzhao never appeared. The people of the emperor's family are all sweet-mouthed and hard-hearted, without the slightest human touch, without the slightest warmth, how can such a cold-blooded and ruthless palace be the best destination?
Chun Yuzheng saw her crying, so he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Sui An, after Sui An took it, Chun Yuzheng said again: "Sui An, you are my daughter, even if you go to the people, I will not treat you badly." I will build you a mansion and give you a lot of money, enough to feed you for the rest of your life. ”
Sui An wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Emperor Xie, the emperor has arranged it so well for me, of course I want to choose to go to the people." ”
"I, although there are many heirs, but there are not many daughters, before, I only had two daughters, Hanwei and Hanshuang, Hanshuang, I raised her in the people, so when it comes to you, there is only one daughter who is really raised by her side, she is Hanwei. But in the blink of an eye, I was about to personally send her to Ning Aoguo and kiss. Chun Yuzheng said, and couldn't help shedding tears.
When Sui An saw it, he was particularly shocked in his heart, and the emperor would actually cry?
In Sui An's eyes, shouldn't the emperor be high and domineering? How could he cry too?
But when I think about it, yes, the emperor is also a human being. As long as it is a human being, it cannot escape the seven emotions and six desires, greed, hatred and resentment, birth, old age, sickness and death, love and hate.
Chun Yuzheng wiped away his tears, "Child, the palace is a place of right and wrong, and you have made a right choice. It's just, child, can you call me Father? ”
Although Chun Yuzheng's face was kind, when Sui An thought that he was the emperor, he was afraid, and Sui An didn't dare to call, because she had been a maid for sixteen years, and when she saw her master, she was used to going forward to serve, and she was used to talking in a low voice in front of people of honorable status.
She didn't dare, it was from the cowardice of her heart, because she had heard the queen mother say since she was a child, how terrible the emperor was, how ruthless he was, these words were firmly engraved in her bones, and she didn't dare to forget.
Looking at Sui An's hesitant appearance, Chun Yuzheng thought that Sui An was resentful because of the queen's affairs, so he didn't call him.
Chun Yuzheng shook his head and sighed meaningfully, "That's it!" If you don't call it, you won't call it, after all, I haven't raised you either. You don't recognize me, and you should be. ”
When Chun Yuzheng said this, he didn't have the emperor's arrogance and courage, but just a father's helplessness to his children and self-blame.
At first, he couldn't understand why Ning Xuan would rather die than expose Sui An's identity, but now he understands that it was Ning Xuan who blamed himself for his incompetence. When Chun Yuzheng personally abolished Chun Yudang as a prince and became a commoner, when Chun Yuzheng personally sent Chun Yuhao to Xuzhou and died heroically, when Pengcheng County was captured and Chun Yuxuan was martyred, when Chun Yu Hanwei was personally sent to Ning Aoguo by her to be friendly, he knew how incompetent he was.
What about being a benevolent monarch who thinks about the people of the world? He protects the people of the world, but he can't protect his own children. He is so incompetent, no wonder Ning Xuan is reluctant to let Sui An recognize her.
Chun Yuzheng is not only recalling, where did the heroic spirit of his destruction of Yuxuan Kingdom and galloping on the battlefield go? When did he become so incompetent? Could it be that he is really old?
Chun Yuzheng smiled bitterly, he is getting old, and the older he gets, the more useless he becomes. It seems that this throne really has to be relinquished.
Chun Yuzheng suppressed all his sad emotions, he looked at Sui An, and smiled like a kind old father, "Sui An, tomorrow, you will pack up your things and go to the people." Live the life you want. Once you're away from the palace, don't come back. ”
When Chun Yuzheng and Sui An were talking, Sui An saw through Chun Yuzheng's eyes that the years had left endless vicissitudes and desolation in Chun Yuzheng's eyes.
Chun Yu Zheng finished speaking, then turned around and left, in the reflection of Sui An, every time she saw Chun Yu Zheng, Chun Yu Zheng would give him a feeling of being above 10,000 people under one person, this is the first time Sui An saw Chun Yu Zheng's back, lonely, lonely, helpless! It seems that at this moment, he is not the emperor, but the most ordinary, most ordinary and most eager father of the thousands of ordinary people.
Seeing Chun Yuzheng walking forward step by step, getting farther and farther away from Sui An, Sui An's heart felt a little sad. Although Chun Yuzheng is the emperor, he is also her father whose blood is thicker than water. Although, she spent a short time with Chun Yuzheng and was shocked when she learned that she was Chun Yuzheng's daughter, but the blood relationship could not be changed.
Sui An knew very well that once he left the palace, he would never have a chance to return to the palace in the future. Ning Xuan, as her mother, didn't hear Sui An call her mother in person until she died, the same misalignment, do you have to do it a second time?
No matter how timid she is today, no matter how dare she be, she still has the courage to take this step. Chun Yuzheng's footsteps had already reached the door of the Meteoric Phoenix Pavilion.
Sui An, you can't hesitate any longer, he is your father, and if you leave the palace in this life, you will never see him again, in order not to leave regrets for yourself and him!
"Father!"
With a sound of father, Chun Yuzheng just raised his feet that were about to step out of the threshold and filled them in the air and hesitated. Sui An's voice echoed in the empty palace. Chun Yuzheng was sluggish for a moment before he withdrew his feet, and responded with joy: "Alas, alas! The father is here, the father is here! ”
This is the joy of a father after hearing his daughter's recognition of himself, Chun Yuzheng turned around and looked at Sui An with tears in his eyes.
Sui An knelt on the ground and bowed three times, "Father, these three bows will be a farewell to your daughter, after leaving the palace, your daughter and you will never see you again, father, you have to take care of yourself." ”
Chun Yuzheng wiped away his tears and smiled helplessly, but he still nodded gently, "Okay, good!" Father will take care of your health, and you have to take care of yourself! ”
Love, this thing is really weird! You can't see it, you can't touch it, but it's everywhere. When people are young, they long for love, and when they are old, they crave family affection.
"My daughter will take good care of herself."
"Well, just take care of yourself, then my father will leave first!"
Sui An saluted respectfully, "Daughter sends her father to the emperor!" ”
Chun Yuzheng turned and left.
