I am the eldest son of my late father, the Marquis of Wei, and my mother is his original wife. After my mother gave birth to me and my younger brother, she was nearly thirty years old, and she was gradually getting old, and she could not be favored by my father. At this time, in order to show the sincerity of the alliance with the country, the Kui Rong Ministry offered the princess as my father as the second concubine.

This alien princess is known as the "first beauty of the grassland", because she was born like a flower like jade since she was a child, the tribesmen call her Jade Kui. Since she entered the palace, my father has been very fond of me, leaving my mother and son behind. I was not convinced, so I often thought about taking revenge on this woman.

Once in the autumn hunt, the father wanted to take Yukui and the sons to go together. I used some tricks in advance, and before I went out hunting, I sent someone to the stable to feed Yu Kui's mount with croton flour. When the time comes, I will lead her a foal that I have been conditioning since childhood, and then the horse will only need to listen to my whistle, and it will definitely throw Yu Kui to the back. If she doesn't die, she will also get a serious injury, so it's better to make her lame.

On the day of the safari, I still remember that it was a sunny day with a beautiful breeze. That was the first time I had seen Yu Kui, and with just one glance, I understood why my father loved her so much, and I would do the same.

She is really beautiful, and the Guard Palace is also a place where beauties gather, but the beauty of this woman is not in the women I have ever seen. Thinking about it, her facial features and figure are not so shocking, but she is beautiful------ this beauty is not a reluctant thing that wants a man to press her down her body, in fact, there is no such thought at all, but - distressed. Looking at her, I forgot who I was, I just wanted to become the wind, to become the air, to surround her, to relieve her happiness, to soothe her sorrows------

I was a fifteen-year-old boy at the time, and I was just beginning to fall in love. I still remember Yu Kui's outfit that day, she wore a narrow-sleeved shirt, covered with a gold armor, a colorful silk embroidered belt around her waist, and a dark light silk on her head. Hanging a quiver at the waist, holding a red bow in his hand, and wearing a dress that is not neat, it is not a style, which is different from the women of the Central Plains. Wherever she galloped, the eyes of the crowd followed.

So, until the end of the hunt, my whistle never sounded. After returning to the palace, I couldn't sleep night after night, although I knew that Yukui was the second concubine of my father, and she was a woman I couldn't peep at, but ------ I just couldn't help it. My father is nearly forty years old, and I am really the same age as her! Maybe ------ how do you know if you don't give it a try?

There is a maid by Yukui's side, who was originally a maidservant in my mother's palace, and was specially arranged to be by her side to be her eyes and ears. I thought that the person who was my mother would not say anything about it. So, I deliberately wrote a "poem" in silk and asked this maid to pass it on my behalf. I didn't know Yukui's intentions, and I didn't dare to write too explicitly, so I only recorded a song "Bamboo Pole" that was circulated in our country to comfort her homesickness.

"Bamboo poles to catch Yu Qi. Don't you think? Far from it. The fountain is on the left, and the water is on the right. The woman has a line, far from the brothers and parents. The water is on the right, and the fountain is on the left. The clever laughter, the princess of Peiyu. Qi water is long, pine pine boat. Travel with words to write about my worries. ”

After the maid took the silk book away, I sat on pins and needles day and night, waiting for the echo of Yukui. But three days have passed, and there is still no news. I was very frustrated, so I went to the back garden for a walk. As I was walking, I suddenly saw a flyless finch fall from the big tree beside the road, and I was about to climb the tree to send the bird back to the nest, when I suddenly heard a crisp female voice behind me say: "Shizi, don't!" ”

When I turned around, I only felt that my eyes lit up, it was her, it was Yukui! She hurried over and said, "Son, if you climb the tree, the finches will think that you are trying to do them badly, and they will peck at you desperately!" ”

"What then?" I asked.

Yu Kui smiled, she smiled very beautifully, as soft as the moon rising from the clouds: "You just need to put this suckling finch under the tree, let's go farther, and the big birds will pick up their children with their beaks." ”

"Really?" I will be skeptical.

"Really."

We retreated a few feet away and hid in the grass, and after a while, sure enough, we saw two big finches flying down from the tree, flapping their wings and taking the little finch up.

I was very happy and was about to say something to Yu Kui, but when I turned around, I saw that she was far away. That chance encounter gave me hope, maybe ------ Yukui had received my "poem", and she ----- or maybe she was also interested?

Unexpectedly, after this chance encounter, things suddenly took a turn for the better. The maid brought a message from Yu Kui, and asked me to meet him in the back garden of the palace the next day. I was so overjoyed by the news that I couldn't sleep at night, and my heart was like a deer all day.

The next day, before the hour came, I arrived there half an hour early. It's autumn, and the chrysanthemums in the garden are in full bloom, and the dark fragrance is fragrant. In the distance, a woman's soft chant was heard: "Picking, picking, picking, picking ears, less than a small basket for half a day." I miss my sweetheart, and the vegetable basket is abandoned by the side of the road. Climbing the high earth and rocky mountain, the horses are tired and depressed. And first pour a full bottle of gold wine to comfort me from my thoughts and sorrows. Climbing the high mountain ridge, the horses are weak and confused. Fill a large glass of wine first, so that my heart does not grow sad-------"

It is Yukui's singing voice, singing the ballad "Curly Ear" that is circulated among the people of the country, but the words are not quite the same, and they are more slangy. The lyrics are lingering and easy to understand, as if to say that a woman misses her sweetheart, looks sideways, and wants to follow him for a long time, but she is blocked by the wind and snow of the world and cannot do so. The thoughts are deep and resentful, the love is obsessed and the songs are sung, and the wandering melancholy contains infinite fascination. The song was ethereal, dissolving, like in my ears for a while, and difficult to find for a while, I didn't know that Yu Kui had such a beautiful singing voice.

Is this a song for me? We are open to the people, and it is a custom for men and women to sing love songs, and since Yu Kui has made his words clear, I should also be more straightforward with a song. So, I cleared my throat and sang a song that my mother taught me, "Chen Feng. The Pool of the East Gate: "The Pool of the East Gate can be soaked in hemp." Bi Mei Shuji, can meet with the song. The pool of the east gate can be soaked. Bi Mei Shuji, can talk to each other. The pond of the east gate can be soaked. Bi Mei Shuji, can talk to you. ”

But as soon as I finished singing, I heard a broken shout: "Rebel! How dare you do such a rebellious thing! ”

At some point, my father was standing behind me, and on one side was my mother, who looked terrified and disbelieving. Yu Kui rushed over, and he didn't know what was going on, so he was slapped to the ground by his father, and scolded angrily: "The Rong Di woman really doesn't abide by the way of women, and she hooks up with the son of the world, such an unchaste woman, what does the widow want you to do?" ”

Yu Kui repeatedly defended: "The concubine just came to the back garden to practice a new song, ready to sing it on the occasion of the prince's longevity, I don't know why the prince is here, please check it out!" ”

My father was so angry that he refused to listen to anything, and only ordered me and Yu Kui to be taken into custody separately.

"I was locked up in the row house used by the Wei Palace to guard the slaves for two whole months before I was released, and at that time Yu Kui had been betrothed by my late father to a distant branch of the clan as a wife."

Speaking of this, Wei Boyu let out a long sigh from the darkness, mixed with a little resentment: "That Ji Zheng, that is, your adoptive father, his father is my father's concubine brother, and he has a distant relationship with the Gong family. The family usually has a difficult life, and he relied on being a guest to Shijiao and got a relationship, so he got the position of a palace guard. Yu Kui married him, and fell from the first favorite concubine of the Wei Palace to a commoner woman of Chaoge, which really wronged her. Father, looking at your face, asked Yukui to take away all the dowries, and your adoptive father's family set up a house and slaves, but he ------ unwilling to treat your mother and son lightly------"

When Kui Duoyou heard this, he couldn't help but reply: "This is not thanks to you!" ”

"Do you blame me for not telling my father about Yukui's grievances?" Wei Boyu's words were bleak: "Do you think I don't want to? But after I was released, although the position of the son is still the same, my father has become more and more estranged from my mother and son, and often I can't see each other two or three times a year, and it's only at the time of sacrifice. Besides------ wood is already in the boat, and it's too late for me to say anything. ”

"Anyway, the first marquis still values you as a sister-in-law." Kui Duoyou said sarcastically, and the next sentence he wanted to say, "Compared to me, what do you have to complain about?" Thinking that this was too hypocritical, I endured it and didn't say it.

Wei Boyu couldn't hear such an off-string sound, and he laughed back: "Do you think that my father values my son?" Wrong. My mother was originally the princess of Chen Guo, and for my business, my maternal uncle Chen Hou repeatedly sent envoys to the court to intercede for me. In addition, in order to protect my position as the son of the world, my mother set the eldest daughter of Shijiao as my wife early on, and my father saw that Chen Guo and Doctor Shi were planning for the stability of the defense of the country, so he spared me.

As for Yu Kui, I heard that her father was going to execute her. However, if he had just made friends with Kui Rong, if he acted like this, the alliance would not be fulfilled, and it might lead to military disasters. In addition, Yu Kui is already pregnant, so this is how it is handled. ”

Kui Duoyou was a little puzzled: "Then why do you have to remarry my mother?" The ancestor knew that I was his son, but he insisted on banishing me? Why is that? ”

"The events of the year were in an uproar, if Yukui was left in the palace, my father and son would always be criticized, and there would be a gap for a long time. Besides------" He swallowed: "My mother is also afraid that Yu Kui will stay in the palace, and I will not give up and cause trouble again." I want to remarry her to someone else, and I will never miss her. ”

"As a result, it was your wish." Kui Duoyou's tone was cold.

The tomb suddenly lit up, and it turned out that Wei Boyu trembled and lit a candlestick at the entrance of the underground palace with a flint. The dim light shone on his pale face, bloodless, and even the tip of his nose sank. Kui Duoyou has been fighting on the battlefield for several years, and he knows very well in his heart that this is a sign of excessive blood loss and is about to die of blood.
