The nine princesses of the East Palace

There were unknown insects calling nearby, and birds singing in the distance, it sounded a bit sad, Gu Xiaowu was sitting there, I actually felt a kind of sadness from him, what was he thinking?

I heard that people in Zhongyuan are very good at telling stories, and their poems contain stories, so I said to him, "Since you can't sing, tell me a story."

Who knows, he actually refused: "I won't."

I looked at him and was a little angry for a moment: "How can you not?"

"I'm trying to tell a story you might not like to hear," he said.

"If you don't talk, how can I love to hear it?"

He was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Then you can't keep asking 'why' for a while, or I won't talk about it."

I quickly said, "Isn't it okay if I don't ask?"

I just heard him say: "A long time ago, there was a country called Zixu, and there was a very young girl in the country of Zixu."

"Girl? How is she born? Is she pretty? Can she ride a horse?" I asked curiously.

He smiled at me: "She is very beautiful and can ride a horse. However, in Zixu country, girls must wear a veiled hat when riding a horse. It is a hat with a veil on it that can cover the face. One day, when the girl is riding a horse, the veiled hat It was blown away by the wind, and a passing son picked it up for her. Although the two of them only met once, they both fell in love with each other and agreed to get married."

"How about this young man? Is he handsome? Is he good at martial arts? Can he shoot arrows? Is he worthy of this girl?"

"It should be handsome." He said, "This son is the son of a great general. He is brave and good at fighting. He is very skilled. Of course he can also shoot arrows."

"Then are they married?"

"No." He shook his head, "The young man received an order to lead the army to fight before the wedding date of the two of them arrived. The girl was waiting for him at home, waiting, waiting, waiting for several years, the young man did not Come back. The girl's family all advised the girl not to wait, if she delays any longer, she will pass the age of marriage. The girl didn't listen, and continued to wait. Finally, the young master has news."

I suddenly felt a little excited: "Is he finally coming back?"

"He's dead. He was ambushed and killed on the battlefield." He stopped as he spoke.

"Ah! What about the girl?" I asked anxiously.

"The girl is very sad, but she also suspects that something is wrong with the son's death. The master's martial arts is so high, and he is also very smart, how could he die so easily? She is determined to find out the real reason for the son's death. However, she has no power and power, The family members don't have that much ability to reverse the case for the young master."

"Then what should we do? Let the son die in vain?"

"The king of Zixu Kingdom is about to choose a concubine right now. This beautiful girl voluntarily enters the palace and becomes the king's concubine. She is beautiful, gentle, witty and intelligent. The king loves her very much. Li's status is also getting higher and higher, and finally he has the ability to find out the real cause of the son's death. It turns out that the son was not ambushed to death, but was killed by his own people. This matter is also related to the queen. The queen originally Just be afraid of the girl, because she is too much favored by the king, and she is investigating the cause of the son's death, if she announces it, the queen's status will be lost."

"Oh, the queen won't kill her, will she?"

"At this time, the girl gave birth to a little prince for the king. The queen made a plan and asked people to inject meth into the soup she drank every day. Slowly, her body became weaker and weaker. The queen said , the girl is sick, she will get angry with the little prince, so she takes the little prince away and doesn't let her see the little prince. The girl never saw the little prince again until she died, and the cause of the son's death was not announced in the end world."

"What about the little prince? Did the queen kill the little prince too?" I was so nervous when I heard this.

Gu Xiaowu shook his head: "The queen didn't kill him, because she had no children, so she raised the little prince as her child, made him obedient, taught him skills, and the little prince also regarded the queen as his own biological mother. The prince's aunt told the little prince the truth, and the little prince knew that he had been taking the thief as his mother. But he couldn't beat the queen, so he could only pretend not to know, otherwise, the queen would kill him. The little prince was at that age Small and weak, if he wants to avenge his biological mother, he must become the prince of Zixu Kingdom. However, the king has many sons, and the little prince is not loved by the king. In order to become the prince, he must do something that is almost impossible done."

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Forgot." He said flatly.

"Impossible, how could I forget."

Gu Xiaowu said: "If you forget, you just forget. There is no reason."

"Then, has the little prince become the crown prince?"

He seemed to be a little interested again, and continued: "The little prince went to a country, met the princess there, and fell in love with the princess."

"Is the princess beautiful? Is she gentle?"

Gu Xiaowu looked at me for a while, and said: "Very beautiful, but she is not close to gentleness. She is innocent and kind, especially when she smiles. She has the kind of purity that the little prince has never felt in her body. He really wants to be with her forever." Together, let her be so happy forever." He stopped again, looking up at the sky, not knowing what he was looking at.

"What about the princess? Does the princess like the little prince?" I asked after not hearing him continue for a long time.

"I like it." He said, his voice was suddenly a little hoarse, "However, the little prince did something that the princess will never forgive. She hates him very much and doesn't want to be with him anymore."

"What did the little prince do?"

"forget."

"Why did you forget again?" It was so tiring to listen to his story, and he forgot as soon as he got to the important place.

He ignored me and continued: "The little prince finally overthrew the queen and became king, but the princess is no longer by his side."

"Where did the princess go?" I asked.

"died."

"Why did you die again?" In his story, several people have already died.

"She slayed herself, the blood was splashed on the spot, there was no cure, even the corpse was taken away by her brother... The little prince is alone again, no one dares to quarrel with him anymore, he won't be heartbroken anymore, he Became a cold-blooded and ruthless emperor, no one can hurt him anymore."

I sniffed, why did I have the urge to cry?His story is really ugly.

"He manages the country very well. He is very busy every day, but when he dreams back at midnight, he often dreams of the princess, who is wearing red makeup and smiling at him. He knows it is a dream, but he doesn't want to wake up. Come on, when I wake up, I won't see her." He said, "In a flash, decades have passed, and the little prince is getting old. He can finally leave the state affairs to find the princess, and he died in the princess' country. Before he died, he prayed to the gods that if everything could happen again, and he could see her again, he would never do anything to hurt her again, but he didn’t know if the princess would still be with him.”

I sniffed and said, "Of course I would. The little prince is so pitiful."

"Really?" he pressed.The question was a little eager.

"Fake. I'm not her, how do I know?" I said.

He turned his head away and stopped looking at me. He just shrugged his shoulders and looked at the river in front of him. He looked a little pitiful. He said that he had no mother since he was a child, so of course he was pitiful.He is so pitiful, I'll treat him better in the future.
