Chapter 216: The Storyteller

The group walked into the restaurant.

Princess Yuqing has always dressed up as a man for the convenience of travel.

In addition, she is a child of the grassland, and her body is already taller than that of women in other places, and her body and face are more contoured, so she looks no different from men.

She shook a fan to make a jade-faced gentleman, and led people into the store, and saw the old storyteller sitting on a high stool, talking with spittle, while the rest of the tea customers listened with relish, staring at the storyteller without blinking.

They tell the story of the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

What do people like to hear?

The stories of the people, who are watching them every day, are not unusual, but they are easy to make people feel heavy.

And the affairs of the family of the merchant and the eunuch, to put it mildly, are just beautiful talents, or bullies and rich people, no matter how bad they are, they will punish corrupt officials, and there is nothing new in hearing about it.

On the contrary, it is a matter of the royal family, which has been kept secret.

Human nature is full of curiosity, and the more secretive things they are, the more they want to know.

But they don't dare to talk about their own country's affairs, for fear that they will be killed.

On the contrary, it is the royal family of other countries, they can ridicule as much as they want, and the government will not punish them for not saying it, if they say it well, maybe there will be a reward.

It is because the people of Yaozhou like to listen to the story of the emperors of the Southern Tang Dynasty or the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, the storyteller on the stool was talking about the current Northern Zhou Emperor Zhou Qi, that is, Princess Yuqing's father's affair.

"If you want to say that this emperor surnamed Zhou, when he was young, he was really an infatuated species, but it's a pity that the object of infatuation was wrong, obviously he had married the queen, but he wanted to love the concubine more, and even killed the queen's son with his own hands for the concubine, just to let the concubine's son succeed to the throne."

"But the result? This concubine's son was born and died, and he was born and died, and he gave birth to three in a row, and none of them survived, who can blame him? Is it to blame the queen? The queen didn't do anything, it's all retribution, you can remember clearly, if you spoil your concubine and kill your wife, sooner or later you will be retributed. ”

"Princess ......"

The entourage around him was angry, and he subconsciously stepped forward.

was stopped by Princess Yuqing.

The retinue couldn't believe it.

"Princess, they insulted Your Majesty so much......"

"Isn't what they're saying true?"

Although Princess Yuqing was the favorite child of the Northern Zhou Emperor, it was because he only had one daughter, her.

She was not born to the empress, nor to a concubine, but the emperor pampered a palace maid after a drunken time, and the palace girl gave birth to her.

After the palace maid found out that she was pregnant, because she was afraid of the fight between the queen and the concubine, she was afraid that her child would become a victim in this battle, so she fought for her own position, and did not dare to say the fact that she was fortunate by the emperor, and quietly raised Princess Yuqing until she was five years old, the concubine died of illness, and the queen was abolished because of the emperor's suspicion, and slaughtered the whole door, the palace maid dared to let her come out, and told the emperor of her existence.

The emperor was overjoyed.

But at that time, the emperor didn't favor her so much.

At most, I feel that I have lost so many children, and now that I finally have a child alive, I feel happy.

The reason why she is valued so much is after the emperor blessed many concubines, but for some reason, none of those concubines were pregnant.

At first, they thought it was a concubine's problem, and kept asking the imperial doctor for consultation.

But later, one couldn't conceive, and neither could the two, and when they couldn't conceive, the truth came out, in fact, the emperor had a problem.

The emperor couldn't believe it.

I used to be in good health, and the queen and the concubine had given birth to so many sons, and besides, didn't the palace maid also conceive Princess Yuqing? How could there be something wrong with his body?

So, the emperor sent someone to investigate thoroughly.

After checking, it turned out that after the concubine gave birth to her third child, she heard that other concubines were also pregnant, and in anger, she drugged the emperor.

She felt that it was enough for the emperor to have her own son.

The more brothers she had, the more competitive she would be in the future, and the more dangerous her son would be.

So, the emperor became extinct.

But the concubine's son didn't survive in the end, and the eldest died when he was five years old.

The reason why the concubine died of illness was actually a big reason, and it was also because of the death of her son and the fact that she had done bad things, so she didn't dare to face the emperor, and she didn't dare to imagine what would happen to herself and her family if the emperor knew that the reason why he had no queen was because she had poisoned him.

Therefore, under the worry, he became seriously ill, and since then he has been ill and died.

The emperor knew this truth and was completely unacceptable.

But whether he accepts it or not, that's the truth.

The facts are in front of him, and even if the emperor is unwilling, he can only accept it.

In the end, it was Princess Yuqing's mother and daughter, because they were the only bloodline of the emperor, and they became the biggest winners.

These things were not a secret in the royal family of the Northern Zhou Kingdom.

Therefore, it is not so surprising that it can be spread to the Great Abyss Country.

The entourage listened to Princess Yuqing's words, gritted their teeth secretly, but in the end they were unwilling to retreat.

On the side, Yun Tianrou raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

I was a little surprised.

This Yuqing princess is so enduring.

Let's not talk about whether the emperor of the Northern Zhou Kingdom is to blame for such an ending, let's just say that she can swallow this breath when she hears the common people of another country slander her father like this.

Oh, what a coward.

Yun Tianrou gave Princess Yuqing a cowardly definition in her heart.

But in fact, only Princess Yuqing herself knew that she was not cowardly, but found this matter very interesting.

She is a member of the royal family, and who knows the details better than her in the original turmoil?

She respects and loves her father, but she does not approve of her father's behavior and attitude in matters between men and women.

Therefore, she agrees with the words of this storyteller.

Princess Yuqing looked left and right.

Soon, a shopkeeper ran over and greeted, "What do you want from a few distinguished guests?" ”

Princess Yuqing shook her fan and asked, "Is there a private room?" I don't want to sit on the first floor, it's noisy. ”

The shopkeeper smiled clearly, "Of course there is, it's upstairs, I'll take you up." ”

"Hmm."

So, the group followed upstairs.

The upstairs is said to be a private room, but in fact, it is just a bamboo curtain to separate one seat after another.

Sitting in a seat, the person next to you can still hear what is talking.

That said, it's much better than downstairs.

Princess Yuqing immediately nodded, handed the shopkeeper a silver ingot, and said, "Bring up the signature dishes and signature wine of your restaurant, and I will entertain my friend well." ”

The shopkeeper held the ingot of silver, his eyes lit up, and he responded again and again: "Yes, the guest officer will wait a minute, and the little one will serve the wine and food immediately." ”
