The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 223 The Story of Concubine Hui

After going to see the owner of the medicine king and confirming that Ruan Fu was fine, Yu Wujue was also relieved. However, knowing that the anti-controlling Gu worms would be depleted, Yu Wujue didn't like the existence of such things. On Ruan Fu's body, it's just that it's beyond the control of manpower, but Ruan Fu probably won't use these things in the future, even if he is upset, he can be regarded as appeased by Ruan Fu.

On the second day, the owner of Yaowang Valley did leave Yongjia with Mr. Gongyang, and Mr. Gongyang did lose his hands.

Ruan Fu has never seen Mr. Gongyang since the night of the palace change, and has no plans to see him again. Even though she vaguely knew from the mouth of the hidden guard that Mr. Gongyang wanted to see her, she felt that It is no longer necessary.

And in the next few days, the days gradually calmed down. That event became the weirdest palace change in the history of Chen Kingdom because of the Gaoche people, and it became a mark in history after all.

Thousands of years later, no matter how heavy history is, because of the legend of dragons singing and tigers roaring, and because of that extremely weird Gu worm, it has become the most difficult problem in history. A wave in the long river merges into the vast ocean.

It's just that during this palace change, praise and criticism are fair, but everyone seems to have forgotten one person, and that is the only concubine Hui who can still speak in front of Emperor Yuanchang in the current harem.

Yuxiu Palace is still the same as before, but the people inside have changed by a third.

The small Buddhist hall of Yuxiu Palace remains unchanged.

After waking up every morning, Concubine Hui sat quietly in the Buddhist hall for an hour or two as usual, either copying Buddhist scriptures, or sitting in meditation, and reciting a section of Buddhist scriptures. What happened, nothing has changed in recent years.

Today, she had just recited Buddhist scriptures for an hour in the Buddha Hall, and as soon as she came out of the small Buddhist hall, the nanny greeted her, "Madam, His Royal Highness King Ji has been waiting for Madam outside the hall for an hour."

Concubine Hui froze for a moment, "Fan'er is here."

After all, she seemed to react immediately, "These two sons are all like this. They clearly know that I will have morning classes for one or two hours every day, but they can't change to come to see you at this time. Because of my nature, I didn’t let you guys come to inform me, so I waited outside the hall for a long time.”

After finishing speaking, Concubine Qi said to the maid at the door, "Quickly go and ask King Ji to come in."

Nanny helped Concubine Hui to sit on the soft couch beside her, and said with a smile, "My lord is also very filial, I don't want to disturb my mother's morning class."

Concubine Hui smiled, "That's all..."

Just as he was talking, Yu Wufan's voice came from outside, "Mother Concubine, don't blame Nanny, it is the son who doesn't let Nanny disturb Mother Concubine, if he disturbs Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine will definitely extend the time for morning class tomorrow , wouldn’t it be a waste of time.”

As he spoke, he strode in and knelt down towards Concubine Hui, "I have seen Concubine Mother."

Concubine Hui hurriedly said, "Okay, get up quickly, I finally came to see Concubine Mother, between us mother and son, why do you have to perform those vain rituals."

Yu Wufan stood up with a smile, and sat on the couch opposite Concubine Hui as usual.

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "It's good now, I have learned how to protect my mother, do you think Concubine Mother is someone who punishes the palace people at will?"

The nanny also smiled and said, "My lord, don't misunderstand your mother, your mother has never blamed this old slave."

Yu Wufan rubbed his nose and said awkwardly, "What did the concubine mother say?"

Concubine Hui didn't expose him, but said, "Look at you, you've been too busy these days? I looked at you and looked haggard. How's the wound on your arm? The things your father entrusted to you are not good. Are you done?"

Yu Wufan patted his arm and smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, my concubine, my son is fine, that little injury is nothing, the task entrusted to me by my father has already been done, and my son is free. Spend more time with my concubine."

Concubine Hui sighed, and looked at his arm with some distress, "Then you have to be more careful."

Yu Wufan grinned and said without arguing, "I know."

The mother and son chatted a few more words, but Yu Wufan gradually became absent-minded, looked at Concubine Hui with a slightly strange expression, seemed to hesitate to speak, and seemed to be hesitating whether to say something or not.

Seeing his expression, Concubine Hui knew what he wanted to say.

On that day of the palace change, she played the flute on the city gate, disturbing the sound of Concubine Qi's flute, causing a moment of relaxation. After returning to Yuxiu Palace, he didn't have time to greet her again, he only asked someone to come over to inquire about her situation, now that everything is settled, there must be more hesitation and questions in his heart, seeing that everything is settled, but she is as usual Staying out of the matter, even Emperor Yuanchang failed to mention this matter. It can be seen that Emperor Yuanchang already knew some of these things, but as his son, he didn't know. He must be anxious, and he has never been able to hide his thoughts in front of himself. .

Concubine Hui took a sip of tea, smiled lightly, "If you want to ask me anything, just ask, you can't hide things from your face."

Yu Wufan scratched his head embarrassingly, "Mother Concubine, at the Suzaku Gate that day, why did you interrupt Concubine Qi's flute sound, besides, your jade flute... I have never seen it before."

Concubine Hui sighed lightly, but stretched out her hand and pulled out a short jade flute from her sleeve. The jade flute usually used is usually one foot and eight inches, but this one of Concubine Hui's is only half of it. I don't feel any inconvenience at all.

Concubine Hui handed the jade flute in her hand to Yu Wufan, "It's this one. Although your third brother likes the rhythm, he has never seen this flute before. If it didn't happen suddenly that night, I'm afraid you wouldn't either. I have a chance to see this flute."

Yu Wufan took it over and looked at it carefully. Except that this flute was half shorter than the usual flute, there was no change in the rest. However, the surface of the jade flute was extremely smooth. It can be seen that the person who collected it was It is often taken out and stroked.

Yu Wufan looked at it, and handed it back to Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui took it, but held it in her hand and stroked it gently, with a look of nostalgia in her expression.

Yu Wufan asked cautiously, "Concubine Mu, what's so special about this jade flute?"

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "This is a relic left to me by your grandmother."

"Grandmother?" For this term, Yu Wufan is indeed unfamiliar. Since he was born, he has never heard anything about Concubine Hui's mother clan, and because there is no one, Concubine Hui has never taken the initiative to mention it. , he never thought anything of it, but now that it was mentioned suddenly, he was immediately taken aback.

Concubine Hui smiled, put the jade flute back in her hand, and said, "I have never mentioned anything about your grandparents' family to you, and most of them are because there is no one in your grandparents' house now. And, for you brothers, it's just an old past, which is of no benefit."

"But now... why is the concubine mother willing to mention it?"

Concubine Hui shook her head, and said, "Since you have doubts in your heart, I will tell you now." She paused, "Do you know, Shang Yaosu's house?"

"The Su family in Shangyao was a literati family in Shangyao more than 30 years ago. Its status is the same as that of the Dongfang family in Ganzhou and the Yun family in Yunzhou in Chen State. Known as the head of Chen Guo literati."

Speaking of this, Yu Wufan suddenly paused, "The concubine's mother's surname is Su..."

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "That's right, I am the only blood of the Su family that still exists in the world."

Yu Wufan was shocked for a long time, looked at Concubine Hui in surprise, but was speechless for a long time.

Concubine Hui sighed softly, "Yunzhou and Ganzhou are both in the south of Chen Kingdom, and they are the most affluent places in Chen Kingdom. They have a strong academic style and have had good conditions to maintain their family's survival since the previous dynasty. However, Shang Yao is in the northwest of Chen Kingdom, where the northwest is cold and cold. It is difficult to maintain a family of literati, and it shows that he has paid more. Back then, the Su family was the only family of literati in the northwest, but... Back then , There is constant fighting between Beiyan and Chen Kingdom, and war between the two countries is a common occurrence. When the Central Plains was not divided, the Su family was the Su family of the Central Plains. After the establishment of the Chen Kingdom, the Su family became the Su family of the Chen Kingdom. Beiyan didn't have any other intentions at the beginning, but Beiyan lacked cultural background. If they want to enter the Central Plains, they must have a literati clan with enough influence as the pioneers to open up mountains and roads. Beiyan has taken a fancy to the Su family .”

Yu Wufan was startled when he heard this, "It is said in the world that more than 30 years ago, the Su family was martyred collectively because they did not want to submit to Beiyan. Could it be that there is something else hidden?"

This is the most common saying in the world today.

A mocking smile rose from the corner of Concubine Hui's lips, and this was the first time Yu Wufan saw such a smile on Concubine Hui's face in so many years, only to hear Concubine Hui say, "This is naturally The world spread rumors that His Majesty had not ascended the throne back then, and the fierce battle between Chen Kingdom and Beiyan was imminent. When the two sides handed over soldiers and horses, Beiyan had an evil heart, threatened the lives of the Su family, and wanted His Majesty to abandon him. The city surrendered. At that time, His Majesty was tied up because he was concerned about the lives of the entire Su family. He was almost out of ammunition and food in the city. He was forced to retreat by Bei Yan. The situation was extremely critical, but the Su family was a literati. How could he do such a thing that was threatened as a hostage? A literati is full of pride. Even if he has no strength to restrain a chicken, his backbone is still standing upright. The family committed suicide, and created the greatest momentum so that His Majesty would have no scruples. In the end, when he learned that the Su family had died for the country, he fought with his back and beheaded several Beiyan generals. situation……"

Yu Wufan listened to this past event in shock.

These have not become the history engraved in the history books. The events of the previous generation have passed for more than 30 years, and they have not become the past events passed down by word of mouth. He does not know much. Now he suddenly knows, leaving only There was a slight shock in the chest, which lasted for a long time.

"The concubine..."

Concubine Hui said, "Although the Su family was martyred by a group back then, your grandmother still kept her last selfish intentions and gave me only a small portion of the poison, causing a fake death... Later, it was the empress... At that time, it was still Your Majesty's mother." The concubine's empress, who saved me when His Majesty attacked the city, was also the empress at that time, who comforted and enlightened me when all my thoughts were lost. Otherwise, the concubine mother would not be the concubine mother today. Whether there is still you, I can’t say.”

The shock in Yu Wufan's heart lingered for a long time, and he said in a low voice, "So this is why the concubine has always respected the empress more than others?"

Concubine Hui nodded and said with a smile, "The empress is indeed a good empress..."

Yu Wufan sighed softly, "So that's how it is..."

Concubine Hui lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "Your grandfather learned five chariots and was proficient in five elements and eight trigrams. This half-shortened jade flute is the result of another research on the five elements and eight trigrams of the Su family. Back then, I was young, but my impression But Zhong also remembered that your grandmother and your grandfather used the melody and added the five elements and gossip to make the melody disturb people's hearts. On that day, when I learned that Concubine Qi used the melody to control the Gu insects, I thought of this One layer, therefore, there is what you saw that day."

Speaking of this, Yu Wufan finally understood the whole story, and couldn't help apologizing, "Mother and concubine, it's my son's unfilial piety, he has never understood these past events, and cannot share those painful things with mother and concubine."

Concubine Qi shook her head and said with a smile, "Those things are already in the past. It has been more than 30 years. No matter how much pain you have suffered, it has turned into scabbed wounds. The pain has long since disappeared. Now, you are in the court, doing things with all your heart, Your third brother has also gone to the grassland now, and everything is planned slowly. The concubine does not ask you what you can do in the future, but I only hope that you can study hard, work hard, and do your duty well. After all, one person's power is limited. But the power of the whole country should not be underestimated, one day, the royal family of Beiyan will eventually become the ministers under the knife of our Chen Kingdom, and the map of Beiyan will also become a part of our map of Chen Kingdom Wanli."

Yu Wufan nodded, as if to promise, "When my son never knew the past, he never had such a firm determination. Now that he knows it, he will definitely not let his grandfather's family die in vain!"

Concubine Hui nodded, with a smile on her lips, "Good son..."

Yu Wufan said, "So, is this also the reason why the concubine mother agreed with the third brother to leave Yongjia?"

Concubine Hui smiled, her expression had regained her composure, and she couldn't see the painful past that happened to her at all. She said earnestly, "Your third brother has your own plans, I won't force you He, your third brother's temperament is very similar to your grandfather, he knows what he should do."

Yu Wufan said expectantly, "What about me?"

Concubine Hui smiled, as if she had thought about it, "You...maybe more like your great-uncle..."

Yu Wufan had heard about the old man and brother of the Su family back then, and even though he didn't know much about them, he had formed some impressions. He was also a well-educated person, but he was unrestrained and bold. Hearing this, he couldn't help grinning.

Concubine Hui couldn't help shaking her head and laughing when she saw his appearance.

During the conversation between mother and son, they gradually uncovered the past of the Su family that had been buried for a long time. Concubine Hui and Yu Wufan talked about the past that was misunderstood by the world. experience.

It wasn't until after noon that Yu Wufan had eaten in Yuxiu Palace, and considering that Concubine Hui needed to take a nap in the afternoon, he planned to leave.

However, before leaving, Concubine Hui suddenly said, "Fan'er, is the girl in Tsing Yi who saved me at the city gate last time the woman you like?"

Yu Wufan's expression suddenly froze when he heard the words, probably because he didn't expect Concubine Hui to suddenly ask him this question.

Seeing his expression, Concubine Hui understood in her heart.

It's just that Yu Wufan didn't say a word, so she didn't say a word.

After a long time, Yu Wufan's ears turned red, and he asked cautiously, "What does Concubine Mu think of her?"

Concubine Hui glanced at her son, "If I say I don't like it, what will you do?"

Her face was dark and serious, and Yu Wufan didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly said, "Concubine Mu, Tsing Yi is really a good girl. She has saved my children many times. She is the master behind our Chen Kingdom's business. Trustee, not only has outstanding ability, but also is a very intelligent person with a high quality and a heart, and his martial arts are strong. On that day, didn't he protect the safety of his mother and concubine in the city gate regardless of the danger..."

The more he talked about it, the more anxious Yu Wufan's voice became, as if he was eager to prove that Tsing Yi was an excellent girl, so that Concubine Hui could immediately fall in love with Tsing Yi in just a few words.

Seeing this, Concubine Hui finally couldn't help but chuckle.

This smile also made Yu Wufan stop his voice, seeing the gentle smile on Concubine Hui's face, he also knew that he was too anxious, and Concubine Mu obviously only said yes.

Concubine Hui smiled, "Even if I say I don't like it, I'm afraid you still won't listen to my opinion and run after other girls all day long, right?"

Yu Wufan glanced at Concubine Hui rather dejectedly and sadly, "Why does Concubine Mother make fun of her son?"

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "Okay, concubine mother can tell with just one glance that she is a good girl and concubine mother likes her very much."

Yu Wufan's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Concubine Hui nodded and didn't say anything else, didn't say whether she really knew this girl, but when she saw her at the city gate that night, after she saved herself, she immediately flew towards Yu Wufan without saying a word. Go, block the enemy for him, even leave the safest area to Yu Wufan regardless of her own safety, she already knows.

Yu Wufan is delighted with Concubine Hui's love for Tsing Yi, "I know that such a good girl, my concubine will definitely like it." Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned again, "It's just that she doesn't seem to be interested in Erchen. Not particularly concerned about…”

Not particularly caring?Concubine Hui shook her head and laughed, her silly son, how could he understand the girl's family's intentions? After just a few glances, she could see that the girl didn't care about him anymore, so she just said, "Since you want to let him If the girl is satisfied, you must be very sincere, and you must also understand the girl's family's thoughts and worries, and be more considerate of others."

Yu Wufan wondered if he had understood the essence of Concubine Hui's words, but Concubine Hui was unwilling to say any more, so she sent Yu Wufan away.

After Yu Wufan left, Nanny and Concubine Hui smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, this time I finally moved my heart."

Concubine Hui smiled, "That girl, it is said that when she returned to Beijing that year, she came back as someone close to Princess Jin. I don't think, everyone around Princess Jin is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... She, At any rate, she once saved my life in times of crisis, so I should see her, and you will bring my oral order to ask His Majesty later, I want her to enter the palace to see her."

Mammy smiled and said, "Don't worry about this old slave, don't worry, empress."
