Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 77
The mountain wind was about to come, the dark clouds rolled, the sky seemed to be soaked in ink, and a heavy rain came unexpectedly.

On the high platform, Pei Shixi straightened his back and knelt motionless in the pouring rain. Even though there were blood stains on his knees, he gritted his teeth and held back without humming.

Emperor Yun deliberately humiliated him in front of everyone, but it was all in his expectation, under his calm face, there was only endless sneering——

What is this little pain, his flesh and blood body no longer belongs to him!

In the tent, green smoke was lingering in the stove, Emperor Yun leaned on the rug, Concubine Rou pressed his shoulders and neck for him, and at the same time hummed a melodious tune for him.

But Emperor Yun was inexplicably upset when he heard the sound of the torrential rain outside, so he spoke abruptly, interrupting Concubine Rou's singing.

"My concubine, do you think...is it too heartless for me to treat Master Pei like this?"

Concubine Rou's face was pale, she didn't even lift her eyelids, she just whispered softly: "The courtiers and concubines don't understand the affairs of the court, and they don't dare to speak rashly, they just do their errands and fulfill their duties. As the king of a country, there are too many things to worry about. It is normal for His Majesty to be angry, and it is even more understandable to punish the slaves under his command."

After a pause, she pressed her white and slender hands to Emperor Yun's forehead again, as if she felt sorry for Emperor Yun very much, and sighed: "This country is guarded by His Majesty, and all the hardships and hardships are seen by my concubines. All I know is that Your Majesty Tianwei is doing everything for the common people, so how can we talk about the word 'unfeeling'?"

After listening to Concubine Rou's words, Emperor Yun held her hand for a long time, patted it lightly, and said with emotion: "There are so many women around me, only you can understand my difficulties, and you are the only one who can understand my difficulties." With you, you treat me sincerely, and don't seek any false fame, glory and wealth. It is considered God's pity for me to be with you in this life..."

"Your Majesty's saying this is a disgrace to the concubine. It should be the concubine who is grateful to God. It is the blessing of the concubine III to be able to receive His Majesty's love and to give birth to such a smart and caring child for His Majesty. "

Concubine Rou said this, but she already felt disgusted in her heart, but she mentioned the twelve princes in her words, and Emperor Yun followed the words:
"By the way, where's Yi'er? Where did that kid go?"

"Yi'er should be studying in the tent. Although His Majesty brought him to the hunting ground this time, he didn't want to miss his homework. Last time His Majesty praised him a few words, he was so happy like something, and kept saying that he would Study hard and live up to His Majesty's expectations."

After all, Concubine Rou hesitated to speak: "It's just..."

"Just what?" Emperor Yun really asked.

Concubine Rou also went on to say: "It's just that Mr. Pei hurt his leg this time, and I don't know how long he will have to recuperate. Mr. Pei has been teaching Yi'er's swordsmanship class. Under the current situation, I don't know if... I want to change Yi'er. Where is Master?"

"Change master?"

Emperor Yun was a little surprised, but he really thought about it, and slowly said: "That's not the case, there is one thing to say, as Yi'er's master, Pei Shixi did his best, and there is no one to criticize. Apart from him, I also I can't think of anyone who is more suitable..."

Although Concubine Rou publicly proposed to replace Pei Shixi, it actually made Emperor Yun think of Pei Shixi's goodness. This is a step of retreat. Emperor Yun didn't notice anything, but just thought about it in his heart——

Apart from teaching the Twelve Princes, Pei Shixi has also worked hard in the Zhenfu Division these years, leading the Zhenfu Division and doing a lot of things for the royal family. Should all the hard work be erased?

It was raining heavily outside and the wind biting the bone. If Pei Shixi was punished to kneel down like this all the time, it would really hurt his muscles and bones. What would be the sequelae in the future? That's really not worth it.

After all, Pei Shixi is still very useful. Over the years, he has been loyal and has done a lot of dirty work, both openly and secretly, but these work are all for the royal family.

Emperor Yun naturally knew well how feared and loathed this "Living Yama" was by the government and the common people.

But what is loyalty and what is treachery?
From different standpoints, there will be different judgments. If some famous and loyal ministers disobey the royal family and challenge the authority of the emperor, it will be very annoying. At this time, they have to use Pei Shixi's good knife.

Anyway, the stigma of verbal criticism and cruelty to Zhongliang was entirely borne by him. Without him, a bloody living Yan Luo, how could Emperor Yun sit on the dragon chair and be a sage and Mingjun with a flawless reputation and no blame?

Such a good knife must not be discarded, otherwise who will do those bloody things for him?
Emperor Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, he had already thought about it thoroughly in his heart, he finally made a decision, turned his head and said to Concubine Rou: "Go, pass on my oral order, let Yi'er take an umbrella, and go His master helped him up, after all, master and apprentice, for Yi'er's sake, I will spare Pei Shouzun this time."

Concubine Rou's goal was achieved, and Emperor Yun finally pardoned Pei Shixi, but she pretended to be surprised and took a breath of cold air, and even knelt down instantly in fear.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. How many pairs of eyes are staring at the hunting ground in Yanqiu Mountain? If Yi'er took the lead this time and saved Mr. Pei, he would be the target of public criticism, and some rumors should spread in the palace." Gossip..."

Concubine Rou's shoulders trembled slightly, and she looked extremely cautious: "Your Majesty has already given too much favor to my concubines and Yi'er, if His Majesty pardoned Mr. Pei again because of Yi'er, I'm afraid that people will Floating, there will be many suspicion thoughts that shouldn't be there, and these resentment and jealousy will all gather on Yi'er..."

"Who dares?!" Emperor Yun raised his hand and patted it, sat up straight, looked at Concubine Rou and said in a deep voice, "What are you afraid of? Who dares to say a word about my orders?"

Emperor Yun naturally knew what Concubine Rou was worried about, and snorted coldly: "You mother and son are too careful, so you let people ride on your head to bully you, with me protecting you, why should you be timid? I just want to flatter you Yi'er, let those eyes in the dark take a good look and see how much I love the Twelfth Prince, this time I just want to give him this face and let him take the lead, why not?"

Concubine Rou still lowered her head, her docile and humble appearance aroused Emperor Yun's affection, and she couldn't help comforting her: "Go, Yi'er is sensible, his master made a mistake, he never came to beg for mercy, I didn't even say a word in front of me, but I can't wrong him, after all, Pei Shouzun is his master, you just said, there are so many eyes staring at the hunting ground in Yanqiu Mountain, if I punish Mr. Pei It's too hard, isn't it also slapping Yi'er in the face, isn't it?"

Emperor Yun gave a long sigh: "There are some dogs in the palace who are the most sensitive to the wind. If the master loses power for a moment, they will bark and bow down. If you don't let Yi'er get out of the way, do you want them to think Yi'er has fallen out of favor with me, can he bully him at will?"

Emperor Yun didn't make his words so clear, it sounded like he was just reprimanding some snobbish servants in the palace, but in reality, who could bully the Twelfth Prince the hardest, and who was the most likely to make trouble?

Emperor Yun had known about the conflict between Prince Lianjin and the Twelve Princes in the forest, but he didn't show the slightest bit in front of Concubine Rou.

"Go, don't always swallow your anger and wrong yourself and Yi'er. You mother and son have always been cautious and never begged for anything in front of me, but don't you know your suffering? If you don't open your mouth, you can only let it go. I have taken the trouble to think about it for you, after all, your mother and child are single and weak, besides me, what else can you rely on in the palace?"

These earnest words almost expressed a hot heart, Concubine Rou also raised her head, tears flickered in her light-colored eyes, she seemed extremely moved:

"Your Majesty is very considerate, my concubine, I don't know what to do... After all, my concubine is stupid and can't speak, so I can only thank Your Majesty for Yi'er. Yi'er has a father like His Majesty, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Concubine Rou kowtowed again, and her sincere words echoed in the tent: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the god in the hearts of all the people, but in the hearts of my concubines, Your Majesty has a more important identity, that is, the minister The concubine's husband is Yi'er's father, Your Majesty, my concubine and Yi'er are inseparable, and our hearts are always linked together."

As soon as the word "family" came out, Emperor Yun's breathing trembled, his eyes flushed faintly, he finally got up and walked to Concubine Rou, helped her up, and said emotionally:
"Why are you crying so well? I understand what you mean. As you said, I am your husband and Yi'er's father. I will protect you. You don't have to be afraid of anything. If you suffer any grievances in the future, Don't hold back in your heart, tell me everything, let me decide for your mother and child, did you hear me?"

*
In the hunting ground of Yanqiu Mountain, the two orders of Emperor Yun spread quickly——

Prince Lian Jin acted arbitrarily, broke the hunting rules in private, punished him for thinking about his mistakes and repenting, and was not allowed to step out of the camp until the hunting was over.

This slapped the prince and queen in the face, and another decree made them furious and jealous!
Because of the twelve princes, Emperor Yun actually pardoned Pei Shixi. Isn't this clearly telling everyone how important the twelve princes are in Emperor Yun's heart?

No one knew how the situation turned around, let alone how crucial a person played in it. She didn't plead for Pei Shixi from head to toe, but still made Emperor Yun pardon him.

When it comes to insight into the Sacred Heart, or even playing with it, no one can beat her.

When a woman doesn't love that man, she can be a victorious general in the midst of it, and she will be invincible everywhere.

In the heavy rain that was flying all over the sky, Concubine Rou stood in front of the tent, straightened her slender back, and looked at the kneeling figure on the high platform from a distance.

Holding an umbrella, the Twelve Princes couldn't restrain their inner excitement, and almost ran all the way to the high platform.

He couldn't wait to put the umbrella on Pei Shixi's head, and stretched out his hand to support him, his childish voice was full of distress: "Master, you have suffered, I will help you up, the emperor has forgiven you ..."

Pei Shixi raised his head, the Twelve Princes lowered their heads, and the two looked at each other. At this moment, it was not the relationship between a courtier and a prince, but a special relationship between a master and a father, the most intimate and intimate.

The two of them didn't know what they said, Pei Shixi raised his eyes, and looked at Concubine Rou standing in front of the tent——

She stood motionless like that, her figure was slender and weak, but she carried an aura that could shake the heavens and the earth, silently and majestic.

Pei Shixi's throat moved, forcing back the heat in his eyes, he held the hand of the twelve princes, and stood up tremblingly.

"Master, you have been kneeling for so long, your leg injury must be more serious, Yi'er will ask the imperial doctor to show you..."

There was some crying in the child's voice, but Pei Shixi had a pale face, and said softly with a smile:
"Yi'er, don't cry. It's okay to kneel for a while, but people can't kneel forever. Master's leg injury doesn't matter, but it can get more people not to kneel again. Isn't it worth it?"

The words came inexplicably and abruptly. The Twelfth Prince was stunned, obviously not understanding, but Pei Shixi touched his head, looked at the continuous rain, and sighed faintly:
"Chasing the wind and the moon, don't stay. There are spring mountains at the end of Pingwu. One day, you will understand..."
