[Tess of the D'Urbervilles] Concubine Wan Gui counterattacks the doormat

When he was six years old, he entered the palace as the son of a sinful slave because of the rebellion of Yao people in Guangxi's Dayeng Gorge, and became a little father-in-law of Zhaode Palace.

At that time, his heart was full of resentment, but anyone in the palace had bigger fists than him, and if he was a little careless, he would lose his life and become the manure of the peony flowers in the palace.

He has a delicate face, which is particularly eye-catching, especially for those old eunuchs who are dirty-hearted.Therefore, although he has hatred in his heart, on the surface he lives cautiously. He is a cowardly and timid little father-in-law in the eyes of others. Everyone thinks he is easy to bully, and even the newcomers who have just entered the palace dare to boss him around.But the fact is that his obedience did not calm down the situation, but became a punching bag for other colleagues, and everyone came to bully him.

The hatred in his heart was getting bigger and bigger, he hated the father who got involved in the matter beyond his control, he hated himself who was powerless and powerless to resist, he hated everyone here, and even, he even hated this incompetent... - Public world!Even though the immature him consciously concealed it, he couldn't completely hide the hatred in his eyes, which made the person who beat him even more excited. It's rare that this little bastard dared to raise his eyes and stare at him!As a result, he suffered more injuries.

He remembered that afternoon, under the willow tree in the lotus pond of Zhaode Palace, those people thought that Concubine Wan was taking a nap at noon, so they punched and kicked him recklessly. He was powerless to resist, so he could only hold his head and let them beat him.At this time, he always thought that he would die, but his life lingered time and time again.His consciousness gradually blurred, and the pain on his body was not so painful.

"Stop!" In a trance, he seemed to hear Wu Yong, the eunuch next to Concubine Wan, shout sharply.Hearing the sound, the people around immediately bowed their heads and knelt down in fear.

At that moment, he finally let go of the dignity he had been holding on to all along. He hooked the corners of his mouth, then put on a cute and pitiful look, and raised his head to expose his entire face to others.

But through his swollen eyelids, what he saw was Concubine Wan's slender lake green figure.

He froze for a moment, and immediately realized, "Your maidservant sees your mother." He struggled to get up and knelt.

Hearing his words, the people around trembled even more, "Your servant sees your mother..." The voices came and went, all revealing fear and uneasiness.

Concubine Wan didn't seem to care about their affairs, she said lightly: "I don't want to see similar things happen again." As she spoke, her eyes glanced at his face inadvertently, and she paused for a moment, but But she didn't say anything, and walked straight past the kneeling servants, followed by the palace servants who served her.

He kowtowed and prostrated his forehead, only to see her skirt embroidered with gold thread fluttering gently, carrying a faint fragrance that seemed to be absent, and slowly disappeared from sight.He thought, in the eyes of Concubine Wan, his life was no more than a thread on the hem of her skirt.

When Wu Yong passed between them, he kicked the person who was kneeling beside him and took the lead in beating him. Only then did he suddenly remember that this person was Wu Yong's little apprentice.Maybe, his life is tonight...

"Your Majesty!" He turned around and knelt, and suddenly shouted loudly at Concubine Wan who hadn't gone far, "Your Majesty, please stay."

The team in front of him slowly stopped. He raised his head and looked forward firmly.

The palace people stepped aside one after another, and the lake-green figure of Concubine Wan came into his eyes again.

She walked back slowly, stood in front of him condescendingly, looked at him silently, and did not speak.

He knew that his last chance to survive was coming, and he didn't want to die, so he gave Concubine Wan a hard nod, then raised his head and looked into her slightly raised phoenix eyes, "Slave, Xiao Wangzi, I beg your mother to appreciate it." . " After he finished speaking, he kowtowed his head again and made a "bang" sound to show his firm determination.

The woman standing in front of her who was already thirty years old but still had a peachy face let out a "huh" before slowly asking: "I appreciate you, and you will gain glory and wealth in the future, so what can I get?" ?”

He was still lying on the ground, speaking with a trace of ruthlessness that he himself could not control, and said, "Mother, my life, all of me belong to you, including my heart."

The woman in front of him paused, then turned around suddenly and left. He watched the skirt rippling again and disappeared before his eyes, his heart gradually turned cold.

"Aren't you following?" the woman said suddenly.

Hearing this sound-like sentence, he seemed to see the dead end in front of him become bright again. He raised his head, with a smile that made the people around him feel cold when they saw it.

"Yes, my master."

After that day, he replaced Wu Yong as Concubine Wan's accompanying eunuch.

Thanks to his dead parents for giving him a good skin. After serving Concubine Wan, not only the big court ladies beside her treated him differently because of his young age and appearance, but even the emperor who lived in Zhaode Palace every day He also loves him very much, and often rewards him with imperial objects.Soon, because of his cleverness and ability to handle affairs, and more importantly, the emperor who was forced by the queen mother to accept his concubine, in order to show his unique love for Concubine Wan, he moved to the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor, and was in charge of the imperial horse and all the tributes. The matter of collecting horses and mules, and commanding the emperor's pro-army commander Shi Twelve Guards.At that time, he was only 11 years old.

When Concubine Wan was with the emperor, she did not shy away from his presence.

He always stands on one side with his eyes downcast, listening to the sweet laughter of Concubine Wan, who is usually not interested in anything, in front of His Majesty who is 17 years younger than her. His Majesty named himself "Wang Zhi" in a leisurely manner, and ridiculously gave him the mission of "upright, loyal, honest and upright"; watching her carefully cut cloth and embroider clothes for the people she cared about under the lamp, she even went hunting It is walking shoulder to shoulder with His Majesty in armor.He has been able to hide his ridicule and sarcasm well under the loyal appearance, he thought, soon, His Majesty's favor for Concubine Wan has made the Queen Mother and even the officials panic, and the situation that Concubine Wan is the only favorite It's almost over.

Sure enough, Concubine Wan's eldest prince died, and the young His Majesty could no longer withstand the pressure exerted by the previous dynasty and the Queen Mother, and finally stepped into the harem that he had neglected for a long time.

That night, Wang Zhi saw Concubine Wan for the first time, no, she was already honored as Concubine Wan Gui at that time, that woman who had always been calm and self-sufficient looked crazy about love.She cried hoarsely, called His Majesty's baby name, and called him back, but the man who had already grown into a real emperor never softened his heart to the woman he loved so much this time, and still left without looking back.

The palace people stepped forward to comfort her, but before they got close, they were hit by the hairpin jewelry on her head. For a while, no one dared to approach her. Everyone looked at this noble woman with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. Weeping on the ground.

For some reason, Wang Zhi felt an emotion called sympathy for the first time in his cold heart.

Should have expected it, shouldn't it?

He walked forward slowly, bent over and stretched out his arms, glanced at him as usual, and said calmly, "Niang Niang, it's time to go to bed."

The woman looked up at him with teary eyes.

Obviously she was many years older than him, but at that time, he actually saw the fear and helplessness of a child from her tearful pupils.

With a heartbeat, he whispered again: "Your Majesty..."

She suddenly laughed maniacally, and shouted while laughing: "Okay! Zhu Jianshen! You are so kind!" After she finished speaking, she cried and repeated these words several times.

The surrounding palace people and the guards guarding the gate all lowered their heads, pretending not to hear anything.

Wang Zhi still stared at her, not speaking.

Concubine Wan Gui seemed to have run out of strength, she lay down on the carpet, weeping silently.

Wang Zhi cast a glance at the palace people, they understood immediately, one left and one right stepped forward to help her up, she was like a wooden figure who had lost her soul, letting the palace people play with her.

The palace people helped her change into clean clothes, wiped her hands and helped her lie down on the bed, before Wang Zhi turned around and walked to her bed.

"Your Majesty, please sleep peacefully. The servants are waiting outside." He whispered, seeing her dull eyes through the gauze curtain, bowed his head, waved his hands behind his back, and the palace people went out one after another. up.

He made a salute, waved his whisk and went out.

Outside, the heavy snow began to fall all over the sky, and Wang Zhi stood at the door of the bedroom as usual, even though there was no need for eunuchs to pass the water at night tonight.

But in the middle of the night, she was sick, had a bad fever, and kept talking nonsense.

"Jun'er... are you back? Jun'er?"

"Our emperor is gone, it's all my fault, I didn't take good care of him... I know I was wrong, don't go looking for someone else!"

"Jun'er, Jun'er! Where are you going, Jun'er!"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Wang Zhi grabbed her hand and found that her skin was burning hot. He just wanted to go out to call someone, but the woman grabbed her hand tightly, and she leaned forward spontaneously, "Jun'er, You don't go."

Wang Zhishun went to bed according to her wishes, and mercilessly hit him: "Your Majesty, your servant is not your Majesty."

The woman seemed to be sluggish for a moment, her eyes met his cold eyes, she closed her eyes, and tears slid down.

"I know, but I'm cold, hold me tight." It was the first time she didn't call herself "Ben Gong" in front of him, looking extremely vulnerable.

Wang Zhi obeyed.

"Your Majesty, you are sick, and you need Imperial Physician Xuan to check your pulse."

The woman just hugged his thin waist tightly and didn't speak.

Her hot temperature spread into his body through the clothes, which touched the heart that had always only had resentment and hatred.

"This is the first time a servant has been hugged by someone." He let her hold her and said honestly.

The woman buried her face on his thin shoulder, "You said that everything you have belongs to me, will you betray me?"

"No." Wang Zhi replied expressionlessly.No matter how many concubines Your Majesty has in the future, he believes that she will always be the one who hurts His Majesty the most, and he has no reason to betray her.

But Concubine Wan Gui no longer believed the man's words, she smiled with tears in her eyes, "Don't promise, I don't want to hear promises again."

Wang Zhi stretched out his hand hesitantly, and hugged her back.

It wasn't until she fell into a drowsy sleep again that Wang Zhi went out of the bedroom and walked to the palace where His Majesty was lucky enough tonight.

He's not her Jun'er, so he shouldn't soften his heart.He thought so.

After that night, she was ill for a long time and refused to meet with His Majesty all the time. He looked at His Majesty with red eyes, stood at her door and waited for an afternoon, and then continued to rain and dew in the harem.And she, her temperament changed drastically.

She never liked gorgeous but arrogant makeup before, but now with such a face, she coldly ordered someone to kill His Majesty's first concubine who served her bed. Even if His Majesty arrived later, she couldn't stop this girl who was much younger than her The ending of the woman Xiang Xiao Hun San.

And it was he who executed the stick execution.

His Majesty couldn't bear to turn his face away, looked at her, and hugged her helplessly, "Zhen'er, have you calmed down?"

He knew she didn't, because he saw that there was not a trace of fluctuation in her enchanting phoenix eyes drawn with a paintbrush.

Seeing him looking at her, the corners of her mouth gradually curved.

That night, His Majesty returned to Zhaode Palace again, but was rejected again.He waited outside the door with His Majesty, and after an unknown amount of time, the door was reopened by her.

"Go take a shower, and you'll have to wash clean inside and out!" She seemed arrogant, but her eyes were no longer as close as they used to be.

His Majesty, who had been with her for 20 years, didn't notice anything wrong with the woman he loved. Maybe he didn't notice it, but he just couldn't accept it.At this moment, he was so happy because of her words, "Zhen'er, you forgive me!" He didn't have the majesty of an emperor in front of her, "I'm going to wash now, you wait for me!"

After His Majesty left, she could no longer maintain her arrogant expression, and just stared blankly at the corner where His Majesty left.

"Is this interesting?" She murmured, but he lowered his head and remained silent.

His Majesty pampered her for a while, but not long after, without the empress dowager's forcing, he spontaneously went to the harem to spread rain and dew.When he dutifully told her about it, she froze for a moment and stopped talking.

For some reason, he was disappointed by her calm reaction.

His Majesty knew that he was indebted to her, and rewarded her with many things. He tried his best to satisfy all her demands, but at night, he stayed less and less in Zhaode Palace. For a while, the harem was full of beauties, and there were voices everywhere. Ying language.

Her reaction has always been very calm, except for her sarcastic "men have tasted the sweetness" because of his high martial arts.

He glanced back at her at that time and found that her face was the same as before.

Until the news of Concubine Bai's pregnancy came, her calm mask was shattered again.

She cried, "How dare he? How dare he impregnate another woman?! I hate him, I hate him..."

He listened silently, wondering whether she was not worth it for the emperor who had been away for less than three months, or for herself.

He looked at her crying alone and no one dared to come forward, his heart became a little strange, sour and astringent, he didn't like such emotions.

It happened that a person presented a beautiful Persian cat, which has been kept by the Department of Animal Censorship. He happened to see the little eunuch feeding it, and his heart skipped a beat. By the time he realized it, he had already returned to Zhaode with this little cat. palace.

Maybe, with the cat by her side, she wouldn't have time to shed the tears that always frustrate him.

Strange, he longed for her tears, but was afraid of her tears.

A few days later, he personally took the life of the unborn little prince.Since she hates her, she is loyal to her self and naturally needs to relieve her master's worries.

After he came back, she looked at him with complicated expressions, but she didn't speak after all, but just reached out and hugged him.

His Majesty was really furious, but in the face of the aggressive courtiers who wanted to execute the prince who murdered the prince, he chose to stand by her side and blocked all the open and hidden arrows for her.In His Majesty's heart, the friendship of more than 20 years is more important than that lump of blood that has not yet been born.

His Majesty never expected that with this retreat, he would have to retreat step by step.Her resentment towards His Majesty gradually piled up as more and more concubines became pregnant in the harem.No concubine in the harem could give birth smoothly, he looked at her increasingly ruthless face, and felt more and more pitiful for her.

She became a loner, and even His Majesty dared not approach her anymore.

Even so, His Majesty still protects her habitually.In order to let her have something to rely on and prevent concubines and ministers from plotting, His Majesty promoted him again and again.When he was 16 years old, he was already the famous governor of Xichang.

The chief assistant, Shang Ren, once impeached him because of his age, "Wang Zhi is young now, and he is ignorant of world affairs, so he can only rely on Wei Ying and other envoys." But even though he was young, he did a lot for His Majesty. In Xichang, he dutifully spied on the people's sentiments and military affairs for His Majesty, and solved many anecdotes and strange cases, otherwise, no matter how much His Majesty loves Concubine Wan Gui, he would not bother to protect her.

He knew that he and her had already become one body, he would be good only if she was good, and vice versa.

No matter how beautiful he is outside, when he comes back to her, he is still just a servant serving her.

He likes to comb her hair slowly, staying by her side all these years, as long as he is in the palace, her makeup will only come from his hands.

"Am I old?" She faced the bronze mirror and gently stroked the corners of her eyes.

He put down the comb, "Let the maid take a look." He turned her around, and stroked the corners of her eyes with his cold fingers. Sure enough, only the temperature of her body could warm his heart a little.

"No, empress, these are just laugh lines. In the heart of this servant, you will always be the youngest."

She smiled, different from the sneer she gave to other people, she smiled warmly at the moment, he looked at her fascinated, intoxicated by the difference she made to him, only to him, not even His Majesty.

"Slick tongue." She said angrily.

He picked up the Jiangnan flower tin in the box that he took time to buy during his business trip, carefully picked it up, and carefully stuck it to the corner of her eyes. The delicate and beautiful six-petal red flowers made her charming. It's like sending glances secretly.

He caressed the corners of her eyes back and forth in a daze, then picked up the mirror and put it in front of her, "Young lady, look."

She seemed to like it very much, took the mirror, and slowly stroked the corners of her eyes with her slender fingers.

Before His Majesty praised him for his ability to handle errands, he didn't feel the slightest bit, but now he just saw her happy, but his heart was extremely satisfied.

"Your Majesty, if you like it, I am willing to find more beautiful flowers for you."

She smiled, but her expression gradually became lonely, "Young women look good even with a plain face, and only when they are old will they use these things to cover up."

He didn't speak, just continued to comb her long hair slowly.

No matter how indifferent she was, she still couldn't let go of the majesty who hurt her so much.

Thinking of this, he felt unhappy.

That matter should come to the surface.

He swept his eyes and saw his confidant standing at the door of the sleeping hall, so he whispered to her: "Your Majesty, I will return as soon as I go."

She was still holding the mirror, looking up at herself in the mirror with her chin up.

When he came to the door, his confidant bowed to him, "I tell the Governor, Your Majesty is going to be the crown prince." He didn't deliberately control the volume.

"Kang Dang!" There was a sound of a mirror falling from the bedroom, and then Concubine Wan Gui with her long hair untidy appeared in front of them, and her confidants quickly lowered their heads not daring to look at her.

"What prince? Where did the prince come from?" Her eyes were fixed on Wang Zhi.

He said softly: "Your Majesty, this servant just found out..."

"Slap!" She shook his hand and slapped him like crazy, "Joke! Who can hide what you Wang Zhi wanted to know?! You betrayed me too, didn't you?! Why didn't you say anything?" ?say!"

His confidant had already left in fear, and with a burning right cheek, he gently closed the door.

"Niang Niang, I will never betray you until I die!" He looked at her fixedly, without calling himself a slave.

But she couldn't feel his sincerity, she pointed to the door, "Then you go and kill that bastard for me, kill him!"

Before he could speak, she turned her head to the door. She thought he was unwilling, so she raised her voice and said, "Did you hear that? I told you to kill him!"

The door was kicked open, and His Majesty stood outside the door and looked at her coldly.

"Who dares!"

He knelt down straight, listening to her quarrel with His Majesty, her refusal, and the harsh words she threw when His Majesty turned around.

She said that she wanted to close the gate of the palace by herself, and she also wished His Majesty a hundred sons and grandchildren.Finally, she gave up on His Majesty.

But... His heart flustered for some reason, isn't this the result he always wanted?But why is he so disturbed?

His Majesty suppressed his anger and said: "Wang Zhi acted appropriately. Now I order you to lead a hundred households of Wang Ying to Liaodong to handle border affairs. I will give you a special gift to do things cheaply and leave the next day!" I didn't go back and left.

His heart was flustered all of a sudden, and he looked up at her, but she didn't even give him the slightest look, turned around and entered the room.

She thought he betrayed her, and she didn't want him anymore...

Suddenly realizing this, he couldn't be sure anymore.

He stood up and patted her closed palace door, "Your Majesty, servant girl..." He usually knows how to say sweet words, and he had a thousand ways to make her laugh, but at this moment he couldn't say anything, he asked softly : "Your Majesty, do you still want my life?"

There was still no sound from inside.

After waiting for a while, he touched the carving on the door and chuckled, slowly said: "Zhen'er, do you know how much I want to call you that? I never want to call myself a slave, because this reminds me all the time, My appearance is not only a royal dog, but also a castrated dog!" As soon as he finished speaking, the carving in his hand turned into powder and slowly scattered.

There seemed to be a slight sigh coming from inside, but nothing was said.

He stood quietly for a long time, his fists clenched "clucking".Even if he has fallen into the current situation, he doesn't want her to make things difficult.

After a long time, he finally spoke, "Your Majesty, please let this servant repay your bole's love."

He knelt straight at her door.

That night, he didn't speak again, and he knew that the person inside hadn't slept all the time, she was crying silently, only occasionally there was a slight cry of her, but he didn't know that he could easily catch her with his ears the sound of.

The next day, he left the palace and set off for Liaodong with the army.

He wasn't worried that she would be framed, and His Majesty would never treat her badly. All he thought about was, without him, who would help her comb her hair and make-up, and who would help her collect beautiful flowers everywhere?

He turned his head, glanced at the palace again, stepped on his horse and set off.

They should never meet again.

In the 16th year of Chenghua, Wang Zhi rode straight to Weining Sea at night, attacked the Tatar army, and won a big victory. Wang Zhi added 48 shi of rice, and was the governor of the [-]th Regiment Battalion. He became the first minister in charge of the forbidden army in the Ming Dynasty. ;

In the 17th year of Chenghua, Wang Zhi led his troops to intercept the Tatar army who entered Datong, and chased Heishiya to win. Because the eunuch had no rank and could be promoted, Emperor Xianzong gave him three hundred stones at once, setting a record in the Ming Dynasty;

In the 19th year of Chenghua, because Wang Zhi was at odds with the general army, Emperor Xianzong was afraid of being exposed, so he specially transferred Wang Zhi to Nanjing. In August of that year, Wang Zhi was convicted and demoted to the sixth rank. imprison.So far, Wang Zhi's power-power-group has completely collapsed.

In the spring of the 23rd year of Chenghua, Concubine Wan Gui died.

In August of that year, Wang Zhi was recalled to the capital. Standing in the palace he was familiar with, he saw through the bright yellow bed curtain that the emperor, who was only in his early forties, was already in decline.

"I, every night... hold her portrait in my arms to fall asleep, ahem, what do you think, why is she, ahem, so cruel, she didn't fall into my dreams once?"

"I regret it so much, cough, I dragged her to stay with me in the palace, cough cough...but I failed her, she must hate me..."

"Will she forgive me? Say, will she wait for me?"

"..."

His Majesty kept rambling on, and he knew that His Majesty didn't need him to say anything. His Majesty just wanted to find someone to share his regret and pain. In the end, his voice gradually weakened and he fell into a deep sleep.

He slowly exited the bedroom, walked in the familiar palace, and returned to the gate of Zhaode Palace, which had been dusty for a long time.

He lightly jumped up the wall, entered the empty palace, opened the door of her bedroom, walked in slowly, and stood in front of her bed.

"Your Majesty, this servant is not Your Majesty."

"I know, but I'm cold, hold me tight."

"Ma'am, I'm back..." He sat on her bed, reaching out and gently stroking the sheets.
