Ever since Zhu Dai could remember, he had no mother.

All the other children in the palace have mothers, even the most unfavored stupid tenth prince also has a mother, even if his mother is a court lady.

He knew that the queen was his aunt, and he also called him mother, but who was his biological mother?

He asked the old eunuch sent by his father to serve him: "Zhang De, who is Gu's mother?"

But Zhang De just said respectfully: "Your Highness's mother is naturally the queen."

He asked again: "Gu is talking about Gu's biological mother." But Zhang De still said: "Of course it is the former queen." He asked again: "Then where did she go? Why didn't she stay by Gu's side?"

Zhang De was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Highness, what did someone say in front of you? Telling the truth?" He didn't understand why Zhang De thought so, but from Zhang De's attitude, he knew that he shouldn't ask any more questions.

After some time, his father demoted a group of concubines in the palace.He knew that he had asked the wrong question.

He became more and more silent, and he was afraid of the power of words.Although his father loves him, his father's love is too overbearing and domineering, and he is a little afraid of his father's love.

He still remembered that there was a little palace lady who probably just entered the palace, didn't know that he was the prince, and thought he was a little eunuch.

At that time, he was fined by his father to write a hundred large characters because of his poor handwriting.His father almost sighed and said: "She has such good handwriting, why don't you look like her?" Only at this time, his father would reveal his mother's appearance from a few words.

Feeling aggrieved, he shook off the little eunuch and cried secretly behind the rockery in the imperial garden where there were not many people.The little palace lady happened to be slacking off here too, she seemed to be weeding the imperial garden.

Seeing him cry, she teased him with a smile, and gave him candy she secretly brought in from outside the palace to persuade him not to cry.He remembered the candy, although it was not as delicate as the candy that the palace used to eat, but it was sweeter.

Later, he asked his father to ask for the little maid, but his father just looked at him with a half-smile: "Oh? Why do you only want this maid?"

He talked about what happened that day, and looked at his father expectantly, but his father just said slowly: "Sometimes, people approach you with ulterior motives." His heart gradually cooled down.

The next day, he knew that the little maid had been beaten to death, and she died after being beaten with 66 sticks.This is naturally his good father who wanted him to know on purpose.

He imagined her blood on the cold ground.For a while, I wondered if she would blame him; for a while, I wondered if she would be in pain; for a while, I wondered if she would feel cold. . . . . .He thought about it, and he became a bit possessed, and fell ill at night. The imperial doctor said that he had wind evil entering his body, and only he knew that it was a heart disease.

From then on, he knew that like and love can sometimes kill people, and like and love are not good things.

He became more silent.

He no longer asks for anything, only accepts what his father gives.

His concubine, his concubine, his crown prince, his power, everything he had was given by his father.

He knew that he was not suitable to be an emperor, but he was silent because his father wanted to train him to be a qualified prince.

He knew that he was not a qualified husband, but he was silent because his father felt that he should be a father.

. . . . . .

He thought he would spend this life in silence, but he met her.

At that time, he was sent by his father to inspect Huangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing.

He saw her in Huangzhuang, she was washing her hair in the sun, humming while washing, her hair was long, black and shiny.Her eyes are bright, and her skin is a little dark, but she can't hide her beauty.

She seemed to be the light shining into his heart.

For a long time, he knew that there was a hole in his heart.But seeing her, he suddenly felt complete.

He approached her pretending to be a merchant, and chatted with her. She was completely different from the ladies in the capital. She would laugh loudly, work in the fields, and answer his questions openly. . . .

The more I get to know her, the more I feel that she is precious, but she is not self-deprecating, her father does not love her mother, but her love for everything in the world cannot be dispelled.

Later, he couldn't suppress his desire to possess her, but he couldn't tell his father because he was afraid that she would wither in the palace like that maid.

He used his identity as a merchant to propose marriage to her parents.Giving 500 taels of dowry, this is the first time in Zhuangzi.Her parents agreed without even thinking about it.He thought: Fortunately, I want to marry her.

He placed her in a small second courtyard in the capital that was not known to others. When he returned to the East Palace, he lied to her that she was going out to do business. She never complained about anything, she just did her duty as a wife.

Only in that small second courtyard did he feel that he was still alive and his blood was still hot.

Later she gave birth to a daughter for herself, Ke Qing.Holding his little daughter in his arms, he felt like a father for the first time, and suddenly tears welled up in his eyes.

But there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and his father finally knew about it.

His father forced him to bring her into the harem, but he refused, how could he?She is in the palace, and soon she will wither like a flower without sunlight.

He knelt at the door of his father's bedroom for a whole night. That was the first time he felt that he had openly rebelled against his father. He had always accepted it silently before.

A few days later, when the crime of his mother's family happened, his father ordered him to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors. He knew that his father's anger was aimed at him.Because he is no longer an obedient child.

He didn't want to rebel, he was just his concubine, his staff, and his friend. . . . . .Everyone pushed him forward, and he couldn't help it.When his subordinates were urging him to make a decision, the last image that flashed in his mind was that of her humming softly in the shabby, dilapidated, mud house, but full of sunshine in the yard, Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her hands were combing her long hair.

He couldn't help thinking how surprised everyone would be if they found out that the last thing he thought about was a woman before rebelling against him.Thinking of this, he felt a little funny, but he didn't laugh because he was always expressionless.

The seventh prince also rebelled after him, he didn't expect it, but he didn't care.

After knowing that the seventh prince was jealous of his father's love, he felt like laughing. You know, he was once jealous that the seventh prince could also get the love of his mother and concubine.He can't forget the eyes of the seventh prince's mother and concubine looking at the seventh prince every time: proud, proud, but also worried.

Later, he blocked the seventh prince's sword for his father, and he felt that he was getting lighter little by little. He begged for grace for his concubine and concubines in the back house, but that was all.

In a daze, he thought: What is the song she is humming?

Then he didn't die, he came back to life.General Zhenxi's golden sore medicine is very useful.

The emperor asked him: "Do you want the throne? I have been the emperor for too long, and I am a little tired."

He replied: "I don't want the throne. In the past, I wanted what you gave me, my father. This time, I want to choose what I really want." He changed his name from solitary to me. What has been realized.

His answer made the father seem a little surprised, but what followed was a kind of sadness.

For the first time, he discovered that his father was also old.

His tone softened: "I just want to be more comfortable. I want to see the sky other than Kyoto."

In the end, his father did what he wanted, and this was the only time his father did what he wanted and gave him what he asked for.

After he healed his wounds, he left the palace. Before leaving, he kowtowed three times with his father.He saw his father's mouth wriggling, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only said one sentence: "Be safe."

He thought: After so many years, we are most like father and son at this moment.

After exhorting a few words to take care of the dragon body, he left.

His father gave him a silver note of 5000 taels of silver and the land deed of a restaurant, and he will make a living on this in the days to come.He didn't go to get something from the East Palace, it belonged to the prince Zhu Dai, not the merchant Zhu Dai.

He thought that maybe he would not be able to spend money lavishly in the future, and maybe he would have to worry about money in the future. . . .Thinking about it, he showed a smile that he had never had before.

As a merchant, he lived an ordinary life.

He has no other children with her, only one daughter Zhu Keqing, although she was born beautiful, she also married an ordinary well-off family.

Sometimes he also wondered what would happen if he chose the throne instead of her that day.He didn't dare to think about it, life without her seemed like a long and icy cold night, and he felt that he must be the loneliest emperor in the world.

He thought many times whether his wife liked him or not, but he didn't dare to ask, he was afraid of the answer.He felt like a thief and bought her from her parents for 500 taels.With 500 taels, I bought the most precious thing in the world.Thinking about it, he felt that he was sinful, and he often felt guilty towards his wife.

And his wife, when he was dying, finally spoke out, the question he had always wanted to ask but was afraid to ask.

"I was washing my hair in the yard that day. When I saw you, I felt that you looked like a green bamboo growing behind a mountain, but you were serious. You were not very big, but you looked like an old man. I thought you were a real person. Interesting." As she spoke, she began to cry, "But now, you are leaving me alone."

He wanted to raise his hand to help her wipe away the tears, but he couldn't.

He looked at her, held his wife's hand, and felt very peaceful in his heart. He felt that even death was not so terrible, and his heart was calm.

The author has something to say:

The reason why the next few chapters are locked is because I applied for the list after signing the contract, and then I read that it was suggested that each chapter should be 2000+ to 3000, so I merged some chapters with a relatively small number of words, and the next few chapters are empty chapters.So it's locked up and it will all be filled in by the end of the week.

This chapter doesn't have much to do with the Red Mansion, the main thing is that I feel sorry for the prince when I wrote it, so I gave him a side story, which is not the previous style, so if you don't like it, you can skip it.

Then Qin Keqing dropped the butterfly.

I saw before that Qin Keqing was the daughter of the crown prince (Prince Yizhong, Qin Keqing used his board when he died), but because something bad happened later (rebellion), Qin Keqing was adopted by Master Qin as an illegitimate daughter.
