Volume 1 The Wind Rises and the Clouds Fly Chapter 20 The Aftermath of the Wind Timei
In the harem harem, the queen's guard of honor had just returned to the palace, and the queen sent her maid to find a man in gray.
The queen mother is also a stunning woman, but at the age of thirty, because of proper maintenance, she still looks very young, especially with the unique genes of the Gale family, her appearance is quite exotic, and her facial features are very exquisite, but there is a sense of arrogance and domineering between her eyebrows and eyes.
She leaned back on the bed and squinted at the man in gray, soft as boneless.
The man was burly, wearing a tight gray long suit, his face was cold and gloomy, his head was bowed and his face was expressionless, and there was a kind of coldness in his aura.
"Have you been free lately?" asked the Queen Mother, her voice changing from daytime indifference.
"Weekdays are just trivial matters, although the mother commands. The man in gray still stood with his eyebrows lowered, his face indifferent, and he did not squint. It's only thirty years old, but it has a composure that is not commensurate with it.
The queen sighed softly, sat up from the bed, gently touched the vermilion bracelet on her wrist, and said, "Help me find out the background of the righteous girl newly recognized by the emperor, I always have a bad feeling when I see her." ”。
The man in gray raised his eyebrows and glanced at the queen mother, as if unintentionally, he glanced at the beads that her fingertips were playing, and said, "The minister understands." ”
The queen stopped talking, just looked at him silently.
The gray robe bowed, then got up and retreated.
The queen mother watched the gray-clothed man walk out of the room, and it took a while to come back to her senses, still gently stroking the red beads on her wrist, sighing softly, and whispering with some loss: "For me, what kind of adventure in life is just a torrent that cannot be resisted. ”
The queen mother is the youngest daughter of the head of the Gale family, named Dafeng Timei, and there is a secret here about how she married the emperor back then.
It all started fifteen years ago.
When the first emperor also Xun Kun was in power, there were three princes, except for the little prince who was still young and ignorant of the world, the eldest prince and the second prince were all adults, all of them were resourceful, had a ravine, a dragon among people, and had developed their own forces, both of them were strong contenders for the throne.
However, the rule of the Holy Ancient Xuanguo is to establish a virtuous person but not a long one.
The eldest prince is also looking for the sky, and he is inclined to the Daomen faction, so he is naturally supported by the Daomen.
As the head of the Daomen, the Zhang family naturally fully supported the eldest prince to inherit the throne.
The Bai family has always been low-key, and although there are many people in the clan, there are few people in power, so they remain neutral on the surface. But secretly he has already formed an alliance with the Zhang family, and of course he is also an ally of the eldest prince.
The Si family has always stayed out of the matter, not participating in the struggle for royal power, remaining neutral, and has no tendency to express their position.
In the spirit master family, the patriarch of the water dragon clan once had a good relationship with the eldest prince, and because he trusted the character of the eldest prince, he expressed his willingness to follow the eldest prince. However, due to the fact that some of the elders in the family were divided by the second prince, the wishes of the family were divided.
The second prince also looked for Menda, and since he was a child, he was close to the spirit master, and was deeply favored by some spirit master families.
And the water dragon clan and the fire dragon clan, which are the most powerful in the spirit master family, have been waiting and seeing.
At this time, the fire dragon clan received a dowry for the marriage of the two princes, and asked to marry the daughter of the clan master, Gu Ziyue, as the princess.
After family discussion, in the end, the scale of the fire dragon clan was still biased towards the second prince, so the fire dragon clan secretly agreed to this family affair, wanting to consolidate the future status of the fire dragon clan through marriage.
However, Gu Ziyue and the Water Dragon Clan's World Walking Dragon Seal have long been happy with each other and entrusted for life.
After Gu Ziyue heard the news, she was filled with grief and indignation, as the world of the fire dragon clan, she naturally had a decisive right to speak, so she questioned the elders of the clan in the lobby, but in the end, she was powerless to change.
She resisted desperately, and vowed to only allow the dragon seal of the water dragon clan for the rest of her life.
Finally, after learning of the final decision of the elders of the clan, Gu Ziyue left the clan and eloped with Long Xi.
After Gu Ziyue left, the patriarch of the Fire Dragon Clan thought about it for a long time, and in order to protect the interests of the family, he had no choice but to declare to the outside world that he had severed the father-daughter relationship with Ye Gu Ziyue and never interacted with each other again.
So the marriage between the second prince and Yegu Ziyue ended without a problem. Maybe everyone regarded this matter as a means for the second prince, but in fact, Ye Xun Menda had already fallen in love with Gu Ziyue at first sight.
Regarding the marriage between Gu Ziyue and the dragon seal, the elders of the water dragon clan resolutely opposed it for three reasons.
First, the Water Dragon Clan and the Fire Dragon Clan have never intermarried for generations, because it is rumored that the descendants of the Water Dragon Clan and the Fire Dragon Clan will not be able to survive after intermarriage, or even if they do, they will be a waste person who cannot cultivate.
Second, the union of the two is bound to damage the interests of the family by offending the second prince.
Third, the water dragon clan and the fire dragon clan have always been at the tip of the needle, and they have been enemies for many years.
Therefore, even if the patriarch of the water dragon clan, that is, Long Xi's father, supported the two of them to be together, he still couldn't resist the decision of the elder group.
Eventually, the Elders decided to expel Long Xi from the family.
Long Changqing, the head of the water clan, couldn't change the situation, and took the initiative to abdicate with self-blame and guilt.
The Gale family has always been an important supporting force for the royal family, and its strength is even above the other two factions.
After the Gale family learned that this marriage ended without a problem, in order to further consolidate their position in the court, they tried their best to promote the marriage with the second prince.
As a result, the second prince also found a way to get in the way, so he was forced to marry the Gale family and marry Dafeng Timei, the daughter of the patriarch of the Gale family.
Later, the emperor of the previous dynasty was critically ill, and the battle for power broke out.
The open and secret struggle lasted for three years, although both sides won and lost, but in the end, the second prince succeeded in seizing power and ascending the throne, and the eldest prince was defeated.
The Zhang family was wiped out, the eldest prince was exiled to the west, Long Xi and Yegu Ziyue were seriously injured and hidden, Long Changqing took Long Xiao and Long Nian to live in seclusion in Longji Mountain, and Dafeng Timei became the queen of the dynasty, and the situation in the world gradually stabilized.
Empress Dafeng Timei knew that the success of the throne was only due to the situation, and the emperor was only forced to do so, so she became more cautious.
Fortunately, since the emperor ascended the throne for more than ten years, he has never been busy with state affairs, and he does not care much about the affairs of the harem, and he has never been obsessed with beauty.
But Gaze Timi knew that the emperor had always had a woman living in his heart, and even though he didn't know whether she was alive or dead now, he still put her in the deepest part of his heart.
This is a thorn in the heart of the queen mother, she can't wait to search the whole world to find Gu Ziyue, but in the past twelve years, she has sent people to search everywhere countless times, wanting to see people alive and corpses dead, but the search is still fruitless.
And now that a little girl who looks like Gu Ziyue suddenly appeared, the queen felt that this was an extremely bad omen, she had to wake up from the comfortable and comfortable environment before, cheer up, and be more careful to protect this queen throne that could preserve the glory of the Gale family.
Moreover, Xun Chong is the biological son of the queen's mother, she naturally wants her child to become the emperor, for the benefit of the family, it is necessary to let the people of the Dafeng family be the queen, so she found a princess for the prince early - Dafeng Hongyu.
Twelve years ago, Gu Ziyue gave birth to a boy, this is a well-known thing in the world, even many seniors of the Dafeng family are seeing is believing, and this Long Nian is just twelve years old, and he looks a little similar, there must be a demon when the teacher is nameless, no matter what, it doesn't seem like a good sign.
Especially when I heard that the relationship between the prince and Nian'er was very close recently, the queen was even more annoyed.
The queen said to the maid beside her: "Arrange someone to give me a good life to watch this princess, and report any abnormal situation immediately." Also, let my son come to me. ”
Xun Chong also knew that today he was seen by his mother and Nian'er had a close relationship, and he would definitely send someone to find him, and sure enough, before he could think of any way to convince his mother, the person had already arrived.
"Second Highness, the queen mother sent me to invite you to the apse. The maid saluted the prince and said.
"Got it, Aunt Gino, I'll go with you. ”
The prince changed his clothes and was about to leave, so he casually instructed the little servant next to him: "Remember to send the things I brought back from outside the palace during the day to the princess." ”
Aunt Gino looked up at the table in the inner hall, and there was a pile of strange folk knick-knacks on the table.
The prince walked straight into the apse, and when he saw that the queen mother was eating the fruit, he went over to say goodbye.
"Didn't the queen mother come back a few days earlier when she went to worship the Buddha this time?"
"When the Buddha came back, he felt a cold wind and delayed some time in the outskirts of Dafeng's house. ”
"Is the queen mother in good health?"
"It's okay, it's not that serious. As soon as I came back today, the big wind red fish of the big wind family outside the palace came to greet me and brought me some fresh fruits, I ate it well, so I asked you to come and taste it. ”
Hearing the strong wind red fish, Xun Chong felt irritated for a while, sat down at the table, took a fruit and took a bite, and pretended to be okay and said: "Her garden is close to the evergreen pool, and naturally the fruit can be stained with some aura." ”
"The Windy Red Fish is becoming more and more iconic now, have you seen her in recent days?"
"It seems like we haven't seen each other in months, and the last time we saw each other was at your birthday party. ”
"Don't forget, she's the princess I carefully selected for you, and you have to walk around with her on weekdays, and you will fall in love with her for a long time. ”
"Queen Mother, my son is still young, I think this family should be counted in advance, wait for two years, and besides, my son has no other thoughts about his cultivation. ”
"Feelings are cultivated little by little, it's okay, take your time. I'll ask her to come over in two days, and we'll get together. ”
Ye Xunchong frowned, picked up a handful of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, but he choked and coughed constantly, tears flowed out, and he hurriedly spit it out, and said angrily: "This fruit is not very good." ”
The queen patted Ye Xunchong's back and blamed: "No one is robbing you again, how old is it, or is it so urgent?"
Seeing that she was also respected, the queen said: "I heard you say on the long street today that the princess has awakened, what's going on?"
"Ao, the day before yesterday, you haven't come back yet, and your father awakened when she took the princess to worship the sky, but today her father checked her, saying that her five elements are not pure, and I am afraid that she will not be able to cultivate. ”
"Attributes are not pure, can't cultivate?" The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the prince say this, and a big stone in her heart fell to the ground, and replied: "It's good not to cultivate, are you still afraid of any danger in our royal family, and you don't expect our Xuanguo princess to go to the front line to kill the enemy." ”
She looked a little lost, and I thought about taking her to the other garden someday to see if there was anything I could do to help her. ”
"Those old monsters in the other garden, it's better to provoke less, the poison master in the other garden poisoned all his maids a few days ago, and there is no explanation yet. ”
"The son will be careful, and the queen mother will not have to worry. ”
"Okay, just stay safe. ”
"Erchen will still practice for a while, the master should have waited for a long time, if the queen mother has nothing to do, then Erchen will go back. ”
"Well, I will often come here to see in the future, and the queen mother is also idle and boring. ”
"Yes, Queen Mother. He also stood up and said goodbye to the queen.
As soon as he left the apse, a waitress came out with a basket of fruit.
"What are you doing with the fruit?"
"Second Highness, the queen mother said that she can't finish eating the fruit, bring you some, and I will send it to your palace. ”
also Xun Chong glanced at it with disgust, pursed his lips, and brushed his sleeves away.
