Fragrance in the wind

The field of vision is hidden in the flickering of clouds and neon lights, and it spreads out suddenly, and the royal Mid-Autumn Festival feast is joyously kicked off under the clear light of the moonlight night.

The hustle and bustle of dignitaries and dignitaries came to the palace to participate in the grand banquet in various chariots. Its shape was like hemp, and its sound was like thunder and drums. What a dazzling, glorious, and captivating scene.

On the singing stage, the drums are bleak, the spring is glorious, and the dance hall is long; in the banquet, the lights are red and the wine is warm, the laughter is noisy, and the bamboo is intertwined.

And who would be scruples about living in the cold palace for many years, the son of a despised criminal——Chunyu Zizhou

At this moment, Zizhou shyly hid in the haystack of the artificial lake. He hadn't eaten for three days. He felt empty and his breathing was a little blocked. Often the food delivered was either sour or rotten.Maybe he should have adapted in the past eight years, but he has a stubborn personality, and the mid-autumn day is approaching, and the grievances in his heart are rising again. He is also the son of the father, why some people eat delicious delicacies from mountains and seas; Inlaid with jade and silk, but he is a son of criminals who were cast aside by the people and brought evil, filth, and darkness with him from birth. Even their leftovers are not his turn to eat.

A gust of cold wind passed by, stinging his skin, subconsciously embracing himself tightly, the half-foot-high grass beside him also caught the chill from his body, rustling and falling in the boundless twilight.

The clothes on her body can barely withstand the cold evening of late autumn under the careful mending of the nanny. With the afterglow of the stars and the moon, I can see what kind of grand scene is on the other side of the wall, and how many things are on the table? It was a delicacy that he had never heard of before. Thinking of sticking out his tongue to lick his chapped lips from time to time, he felt a salty taste.

Zizhou was originally the son of a noble empress, but due to the time gap, he fell from the most noble to the extremely cheap.

The empress's father is Prime Minister Zi who has great power in the court. Among the five major clans, the Zi family and the Huan family joined forces with the eunuchs in the palace to support the thirteenth prince who was supposed to be away from the throne indefinitely, that is, Chun Yufeng.

In a battle for succession without gunpowder, but with blood and corpses everywhere, Chun Yufeng ascended the throne at the age of 12 and married a queen. For seven years, he survived in the cracks between the forces of his relatives and eunuchs.On the outside, Chun Yufeng is dull and licentious, and willing to be a puppet emperor, but in fact he wants to catch him until he is caught. When the power of the eunuch was on the verge of dying, Chun Yufeng secretly supported him, causing the power of the eunuch to skyrocket. The purpose was to use the eunuch's knife to kill the heads of his relatives. This was "the disaster of the eunuch"

This incident involved a wide range of people. Those imprisoned imperial scholars bit the eunuch back during torture, and Chunyu Feng decisively wiped out the eunuch's influence without losing the opportunity.

Since then, the young emperor, who was only 20 years old, took the fragmented regime into his own hands, and changed the year name to the first year of Hanfeng, so that Chunyu, which had been in turmoil for many years, returned to the peace of the past. Its city, its cold blood, shocked the government and the public.

During the seven years, the empress was pregnant with a son by accident and suffered a miscarriage, but she was not pregnant. Due to "the misfortune of Qi Huan" after entering the palace, Prime Minister Zi was reported to have committed suicide in fear of crime. She was executed, but only the queen survived. Zizhou, who was conceived in fear in prison, gave birth to Zizhou with a bone-biting hatred. Before she died, her mother left the word "zhou" on the ground with her blood. The intention is obvious. One is that Chunyu State was originally named as a state at the beginning of its founding, and the other is to seize Kyushu to avenge the Zi family.

His mother's surname was Zi, and the Zi family was already a criminal minister. Chunyu's country was originally a state, and in order to avoid the word "Zizhou", his name was Chunyu Zizhou from then on.

Born in the filthiest and most evil place, he inherited his mother's bitter hatred. When the nanny held the newborn Zizhou and came to Chun Yufeng, he waved his hand and ordered the nanny to hug her.

In Chunyufeng's mind, this child is the symbol of the queen's crimes and also the carrier of the queen's hatred for Chunyufeng.However, his fate was already decided, a palace revolution brought too many murders, but this child's life was left alone. Perhaps it was destined to be a disaster in his life long ago, and this child came to collect debts from him.At that time, Chun Yufeng never imagined that the infant baby in the nurse's hands would have such a shocking love entanglement with him.

All Zizhou knew was what the nanny told him, but he only missed who his biological father was. If he had known earlier that he was not Chunyufeng's biological child, he would not have complained so much.The eight years of life in the cold palace depended entirely on the care of the nanny, and a small nanny could help him live healthy and healthy for eight years. The more reason was that the nanny made counterfeits with the eunuch for him.The eunuchs were infertile and unable to do the bed work. Although the ability in this aspect was weakened, they tortured people in endless ways, which caused the early death of the nanny later.

In the midst of his longing, his ears were suddenly picked up, and he screamed and cursed while holding his ears.

The eunuch slapped him with his hands, making Zizhou dizzy for a while, staring at his eyes and buzzing in his ears.

The eunuch spat while tugging at his ear: "You little bastard's mouth isn't clean! You're such a rascal, who told you to come out to scare people!"

"If I want to come out, I will come out. I am the son of my father, and I have the blood of the royal family on my body. You slave dare to treat me like this. Be careful that I will sue you to my father." As he spoke, he kicked the eunuch from time to time. .

After the wife listened in, she sneered for a while, seeing how funny Zizhou was being grabbed by one ear, and satirized: "A downcast phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and you are not as good as a chicken after returning the prince!" After finishing speaking, he tugged Holding one of Zizhou's ears, he pulled it straight to the cold palace.

"Let go! Let go! Let me go!" Regardless of the pain, Zi Zhou pulled off the eunuch's hand abruptly. There was burning pain in his ears, and he tried his best to hold back the soreness in his eyes. He brushed the weeds on his body and tidied up the mess The long-haired man raised his chin: "I can walk by myself!"

"Hey... you are tough enough, let me see how tough you are!"

As soon as the words fell, he raised his foot and kicked Zizhou's back fiercely. Zizhou staggered and lay on the ground, coughing uncontrollably from the dust, and his chest hurt.

After a long time, the blood-soaked hands suddenly clenched the weeds on the ground, and the knuckles turned white. Whoever said that the child born to the queen must be the prince, he is not even as good as a beast, the difference in time, he was late One step after birth but even missed the qualifications to be a human being.

On a moonlit night, Zizhou's eyes were full of bloodthirsty hatred, staring at the eunuch like a wolf that has been hungry for a long time, locking on to the prey in front of it, wanting to have a full meal, the eunuch shivered coldly, faltering Said: "Wild... wild cub..." Before he finished speaking, he retreated tremblingly and ran away.

Zizhou lay on the spot for a long time in a daze, if it wasn't for the growling in his stomach, he might have been lying there all night.

He was very hungry, and after all the tossing and tossing just now, he was even hungrier. The feeling of hunger was like a beast devouring his reason, and his desire filled him up. He fell on the ground trembling, looking around for something to eat.At this moment, the delicious delicacies from the banquet in the distance were lingering in his nostrils, and the smell seemed to stretch out tens of thousands of arms, firmly pulling his entire consciousness, and he couldn't help swallowing.

Seeing under the lights in the distance, a row of tableware removed by the palace people towards the direction of the imperial dining room, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and a crazy thought rose in my heart,

'Explore the imperial dining room at night! '

All the way hidden in the night, he came to the door of the imperial dining room familiarly. The reason why he knew the way was because he had come here once before but failed. That time he came too late. The door of the imperial dining room was tightly closed. I had no choice but to return with my head bowed and my head shoved.

But this time, it was completely different from the last time, when the imperial dining room was busy and flustered, no one cared about his existence, and I didn't know where the courage came from. He is not afraid of death, he is not afraid of persecution in the crack of the door, looking at the hot scene inside, the table is full of seasonings, all kinds of dishes are dazzling, his eyes stopped at the alluring roast goose, and he swallowed again , Glancing at the chefs coming and going, his heart beat like a drum, flustered.

I couldn't help but take another look, imagining the aroma and tenacity of the roast goose chewing in the mouth, regardless of the danger of being discovered, even a beating is worth it.

As soon as he thought about it, he couldn't control it anymore. He felt like a wolf who had been hungry for many days. When he saw the prey, his eyes turned red, he rushed up, picked up the roast goose, gnawed it, and swallowed it after a few chews.

Not long after, he raised his head again and the dark group of people around him had wiped him out. Zizhou was so frightened that he quickly took a few mouthfuls, threw away the roast goose in his hand, and swallowed the rest in his mouth, thinking about eating as much as he could. How many.

"He is the scourge in the cold palace!" Someone raised his voice and pointed out that it was him.

Seeing Zizhou's humble appearance, one of them said: "If you admit your mistake and kowtow three times to us, we will let you go!"

Zizhou snorted coldly, his phoenix eyes glanced at them disdainfully, and said, "Thinking well!"

Then the group of people got together and whispered for a while, and then they discussed a very interesting idea.

Zizhou screamed miserably and struggled desperately, to no avail. Those people wearing aprons, with sly laughter and insults, pressed on him, prying open his clenched teeth into a whole piece. Pieces of bloody fresh meat flowed into his mouth, and he couldn't chew the pieces of fresh meat, so he had to be forced to swallow it.The smell of blood and flesh made him retch again and again, one piece after another, until the esophagus was full, and there was a churning pain in his stomach, his painful facial features twisted, his lips turned blue, thinking that he was about to suffocate And at the time of death...

He began to vomit heart-poundingly, those people wearing aprons moved a little slowly, fearing that they would kill someone, they pulled Zizhou's sweat-soaked hair: "Knock or not?"

Zizhou opened his tear-smeared eyes, the only thing he could be sure of was that the tears shed were stimulated by vomiting, not begging for mercy, twisted his tongue a few times, and spit saliva with minced meat at the person in front of him, but Can't see if it spit on the man's face.

I just heard that angry roar, pulling Zizhou's hair all the way to the water tank where the meat was washed in the courtyard, and pressing his head in amidst Zizhou's miserable screams, there was sudden panic in all directions. Blood water invaded the brain and trachea from the nasal cavity.

Zizhou was frightened, panicked on the verge of death, he struggled desperately.

Then it was lifted unexpectedly, he took a few breaths, and was pushed in again.

Zizhou's heart was trembling, he had never longed for someone who could save him; he had never hoped so much for someone who could protect him; he had never begged so much as now There is someone who can love him; what he prays to be saved is his soul, which has been pierced by loneliness and abandonment, like a bottomless black hole, which needs a lot of love to fill.

In desperation, an immature boy's voice sounded: "What are you doing!"

Then he got out of the bloody water, and when he heard the sound of those people kneeling to say hello, Zizhou laughed and coughed, he was out of breath from laughing, which attracted everyone's attention.

God still treats him kindly, he has not been completely abandoned, he has been tossed and exhausted, he thought he would die, and wanted to take a look at the person who saved him before he died, even if there is no repayment in this life, he must repay it in the next life , he is not used to owe others.

But Zizhou couldn't see the benefactor's face clearly with his eyes full of mist, he closed his eyes and shook his head, the blood on his hair splashed all around, finally he saw the thin body with the hair tied up in the bun, the face Ru Meiyu, dressed in a luxurious dress, the jade on the belt around his waist hurt his eyes, the man walked towards him, with an anxiety he had never seen on his face, as if coming from a dream "Prince!"

Seeing him stretching out his hand to hug him, he pushed it away without hesitation, and at this moment another person came, his figure was tall and tall, no matter how difficult it was to see the other Zizhou, he felt that the light emitted from them made him look abnormal Fearing that his filth and lowliness would contaminate them, Zi Zhou pulled up his last bit of strength and fell on the ground, rubbing against the ground and retreating.

Then he heard someone calling him "Zhou'er...Zhou'er" in mournful voices, every sound was heavy and blunt, hitting his heart heavily, he didn't understand why the person called him in such a tone, but that kind of The feeling of being cared and loved is something he has never had before.
