Seventh Pagoda

"The red lotus is just waking up, the night is dewy, swaying in the wind, the shadow of the fish..."

The old man's deep voice was like a broken winter wind, rough and hoarse, which made the young man impatient. He lowered his voice and said, "... Father-in-law, how many times have I told you, old man, don't sing anymore, can you?"

The old man muttered, with some grievances: "Yes, little master...but you can't sleep, little master..."

"I can't sleep, I have Yu'er singing to me." Speaking of the word "Yu'er", he smiled unconsciously.

Yu'er couldn't help laughing "puchi" when he heard this, the young man was already squatting nearby and staring at Yu'er's small face without taking his eyes off, now seeing him awake, he gently pulled him into his arms: "Yu'er , bothering you, right?"

Yu'er habitually put her arms around the boy's neck, buried her little head in the crescent of his neck, and shook gently: "Not at all. Yu'er slept well, what good scene did Brother Zhuer see today?"

Tang Youzhu hugged Yu'er and happily talked about the outside world.

The sparkling lake surface reflects the moon in the sky, the fish jump up from the water, the ripples break apart, and the moonlight ripples in a pool, the wind blows the leaves rustling, the tip of the nose smells cinnamon, and the insects in the grass are haunting, quietly jumping A big grasshopper came out...

At the end, Tang Youzhu held up Yu'er's little head and looked into those beautiful eyes: "Yu'er, your eyes are so beautiful, and there are so many interesting things outside, I really want to take you out to have a look."

Eunuch Zhang was on the side, sighing silently.

Right now, the most favored person in the palace is Wanshi, the noble concubine of Emperor Zhaorui of Qingde Palace.

Wan entered the palace as a maidservant at the age of four. Because of her cleverness and beautiful appearance, she had to accompany the queen mother at the age of 19. The queen mother thought of her kindness and bestowed it on the East Palace to take care of the two-year-old crown prince.

Seventeen years later, the crown prince ascended the throne as emperor, named Wan's family a concubine, favored the harem, and no one surpassed him. Under such great favor, he still had no heirs. Since he had nothing to produce, he naturally could not tolerate other people's heirs.

In just seven years, countless unborn or just-born babies died in the hands of Concubine Wan Gui in the palace.

On this day, the emperor passed by the warehouse, and the lady in charge, Ji, was beautiful. The emperor fell in love with her at first sight, and stayed overnight. Ji was pregnant with a dragon vein. Concubine Wan Gui was furious when she heard about it, and sent the palace servants to have an abortion.

The palace people couldn't bear it, and lied that Mrs. Ji was suffering from a serious illness and was not pregnant. Concubine Wan Gui found an excuse to put Mrs. Ji into the cold palace.A few months later, the news that the prince was quietly born in the cold palace spread like wildfire, and the Wan family sent Eunuch Zhang to poison the prince.

Eunuch Zhang followed the late emperor in the palace when he was young, and entered the palace with the late emperor, and watched the current emperor grow up. His loyalty to the royal family made him willing to risk his life at the age of 60 to save the little prince. Keep in a secret room.

There are not a few women who lost their children in the palace. Concubine Wan Gui searched the palace several times to check for fish that slipped through the net. He was named "Tang Youzhu".

I hope that God has eyes to bless this unique bead safe and smooth, and let's see what will happen to the Wan family in the future.

Tang Youzhu was raised by Zhang's father-in-law with rice noodles. The little doll carved in powder and jade was trapped in a secret room where there was no skylight.Eunuch Zhang worried about this day and night.

On that day, Concubine Wan Gui lost her temper because the head of the Jiaofang Kabuki Lou Xinyue was having trouble with the guards and gave birth to a pink baby.

The head of the teaching workshop was kind, and quietly fed the little baby. Unexpectedly, Concubine Wan Gui, who had always been indifferent to music and dancing, suddenly came to visit.

Concubine Wan Gui grabbed the baby and lifted it up, her long armor almost cut the baby's cheek, she raised her hand to throw him to death in front of Lou Xinyue.

Lou Xinyue was eager to protect her child, she rushed forward to catch her child, but was pushed to the ground by the palace servants, she slammed her head on the stone while struggling, blood splashed all over Concubine Wan Gui, concubine Wan Gui felt disgusted, and threw the doll to the side The palace man ordered him to be thrown into the moat and drowned.

The milk doll didn't know his fate yet, so he smiled happily at the palace man. The palace man softened his heart for a moment, packed the doll in a small basket, and floated it out along the river, just looking at his good fortune.

Whether it was to pity the doll, or to find a companion for the little prince, no matter what, when Eunuch Zhang picked up the basket, he finally saved the doll's life. Call him "Yu'er".

At that time, Tang Youzhu was only three years old. Seeing her father-in-law brought back a little baby, she was so happy that she refused to let go for a moment. Seeing that his father-in-law was happy, he just let him go. Seven years passed in the blink of an eye.

Eunuch Zhang has been in this palace for more than 40 years. He already knows the corners and corners the size of sesame seeds. Suddenly refused to go.

Eunuch Zhang thought it was because the young man was bored, so he coaxed him and said: "Little master, but the view of the garden is boring? After a few days, the old slave will take the young master farther away."

Tang Youzhu shook her head, watching Yu'er who was asleep, not speaking.After a long time, he asked in a muffled voice: "Why can't Yu'er go out? How long is he going to stay in this dark room?"

Eunuch Zhang was speechless for a moment, and after making up his mind, Eunuch Zhang knelt in front of Tang Youzhu, no matter how much the little boy supported him, he refused to get up: "Would you like to be the emperor, little master?"

Tang Youzhu couldn't understand at all: "What is an emperor?"

"The emperor is a person. No matter what the emperor says, people in the world will listen to him. No matter what the emperor wants to do, people in the world will help him. Will my little master be willing?"

Tang Youzhu thought over and over again, but still asked the question he was most concerned about right now: "Can I take Yu'er out to play after becoming the emperor?"

Eunuch Zhang's eyes were a bit obscure, but he still nodded firmly: "Yes, the little master has become the emperor, and he can do whatever he wants."

Tang Youzhu was very happy: "That's great, I want to be the emperor and take Yu'er out to play."

"Okay, little master, you must keep in mind that the first thing you need to do when you become an emperor is never tell anyone that you want to be emperor. Can little master do it?"

Tang Youzhu looked at Yu'er: "Can Yu'er do it too?"

"No. Neither can Yu'er. If the little master can't do it, don't even think about taking Yu'er out in this life. Yu'er will stay in this dark room for the rest of his life."

Tang Youzhu was very embarrassed.

Yu'er was raised by himself with a mouthful of rice noodles. He also taught Yu'er the first sentence he said, and he helped Yu'er take the first step when he walked out. He felt that there was nothing on his body. You can't tell Yu'er.

But now the father-in-law said that you can't tell anyone that you are going to be the emperor, and you can't tell Yu'er, why is this?

Looking up at the dark room, the square inch is pitch black, and the big candlelight is all the light. Does Yu'er really want to stay in this dark room for the rest of her life?

don't want!Absolutely not!

"Eunuch, I promise you, I will listen to everything Eunuch says."

Eunuch Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "Little master, there are a lot of things to learn in the future, don't disturb Yu'er to sleep, and go out and listen to the old slave slowly."

Eunuch Zhang was a student of the late emperor when he was young, and he was immersed in the palace for many years. Everything he saw and thought in his life, he spared no effort to give it to Tang Youzhu. What they were waiting for was just a chance. The chance of the Pearl being born.

As for Yu'er, Eunuch Zhang couldn't help but sighed again, thinking about the child's future fate.

Tang Youzhu danced, talked and gestured, and couldn't stop yawning at the end, Yulang patted him on the back obediently: "Brother Zhu'er is tired? Take a rest, Yu'er will sing for you."

Yu'er softly sang the songs that Eunuch Zhang secretly learned from the Jiaofang Division, "Pink Lotus", "Sexy Man", "Fish Water Ballad", "Four Zhang Ji"...

In the end, Lou Xinyue's blood was flowing, Zhang Gonggong sang a song without emotion, but Yu'er sang softly and affectionately, just like the touch of lake water under the moonlight tonight, Tang Youzhu's ears were soft when he heard it, and his whole body was ironed and comfortable. Cool.

He muttered indistinctly because of sleepiness: "Yu'er, you sing really well, if one day you stop singing, I will definitely not be able to fall asleep."

This day is coming soon.

When Xianzong got up in the morning, the palace servants waited on him to clean up and dress up as usual, but they accidentally pulled up a few strands of silver hair. The palace servants in the room were frightened and fell to their knees. Playing, half joking and half sad.

"Seeing that I am getting old, but I still have no children..."

Eunuch Zhang was kneeling far away, but this sentence hit his forehead like a thunderbolt. He knelt down in front of Xianzong in one go: "Your Majesty! You have children!"

Xianzong exhausted all his self-control in his life this day to successfully go to court, approve the papers, deal with political affairs, and dismiss the servants. At three o'clock, the little Tang Youzhu stepped into the palace for the first time. Minghua Palace.

He understood that the person who was hugging him with tears in his arms was his father, oh no, father, so even though he felt that this person didn't smell like Yuerxiang, he didn't break free. Tang Youzhu was a little dumbfounded, the little My heart is full of Yu'er.

Can Yu'er sleep peacefully at this moment?What song will Yu'er sing tonight?What gift do you want to bring Yu'er when you go back to the little black house next time?When can I be the emperor and bring Yu'er out to play?

Xianzong cried all night with Tang Youzhu in his arms, so Tang Youzhu couldn't get away for a moment.

In the early dynasty, Emperor Xianzong was still reluctant to let go, and ordered someone to clean up Tang Youzhu's good life. First, he announced to all civil and military officials that he would be merciful from heaven, and that he still had heirs in the world. Prince, enter the East Palace.

Like a thunderbolt blasting in the deep palace, Concubine Wan Gui first went crazy and almost demolished Qingde Palace, and then barged into Minghua Palace, almost tore down Xianzong's bones.

Regarding the other matters, Xianzong could bear with him because of his past affection, but regarding the matter of the crown prince, even if Wan Shi put a knife on his neck, he would not back down at all. Wan's hand, closed his eyes and waited for her to give him a knife.

Wan's anger went mad, and he led the palace people back to Qingde Palace like a wind blowing reeds.

Within half an hour, Eunuch Zhang committed suicide by swallowing gold, and the prince was dying of poisoning.

This matter finally alarmed the Queen Mother of Zhou, because Tang Youzhu's life was not to die, the poisonous king who lived in Zhufeng happened to be staying in the capital for a while, and the Queen Mother hurriedly invited the poisonous king to the East Palace.

Tang Youzhu woke up slowly, her lips were light blue.

Before recovering, she was hugged by the Empress Dowager Zhou, screaming "heart and soul", and the Empress Dowager Zhou became angry: "From today on, the prince lives in my Compassionate Ning Palace, but I want to see, who dares?" Move a hair of Aijia's virtuous grandson under the eyes of Aijia!"

With the protection of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Tang Youzhu saved her life. When she heard the news of Eunuch Zhang's death, Tang Youzhu didn't even lift her eyelids, but she shed tears silently.

Xianzong is his father, Queen Mother Zhou is his grandmother, Concubine Wan Gui wants to die by herself, and Prime Minister Li secretly supports the loyal king... Eunuch Zhang told Tang Youzhu many things, and he also told himself that he would definitely die.

The only thing Eunuch Zhang didn't tell him was that on the day Tang Youzhu left the secret room, every food that Eunuch Zhang left in the secret room was highly poisonous.
