Unfortunately, the first time he entered the cold palace, after introducing himself, he suffered the first great humiliation of his life! Those women laughed and pointed at him, then directly snatched all the valuables from him and kicked him out.
Lu Anyuan returned to the palace wearing his inner clothes and never thought of looking for his mother again.
Why! Shouldn't they also laugh at Xu Yixing, strip her naked and kick her out? Why?
Seeing Xu Yixing was about to come out, Lu Anyuan hurriedly withdrew his hand and pretended to run over breathlessly.
"Sister Yixing, you're out? How are they? Are they good people?" Lu Anyuan said this almost gritting his teeth.
"Well, thank you for bringing me here, but I didn't find the person I was looking for. I'm leaving now."
no!
"Sister Yixing, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for my mother."
Huh? Lu Anyuan frowned. Why is your mother in the palace?
"She... isn't she at your house?"
"No. My father said my mother went to a very far place, and I have been looking for her."
Oh! Lu Anyuan understood immediately. Her mother must be dead. This was General Xu's fabrication. Humph, little girl, don't blame me for this.
"Yixing, your mother is dead." Lu Anyuan said this loudly, stopped, and saw Xu Yixing looking back in disbelief, his eyes wide open like purple grapes.
"Your mother is dead." After being shocked, Xu Yixing walked away very unhappily, taking small steps and walking very fast.
"I'm telling the truth. Think about it, you've never seen your mother before, and the old general only lets you pay your respects to her during festivals. How can you burn incense and offer sacrifices to a living person?"
Lu Anyuan's mother is gone, and he is very familiar with these procedures. Now they are most effective in persuading the little girl.
Sure enough, Xu Yixing walked slower and slower, and finally stopped beside a dry well.
Lu Anyuan thought Xu Yixing knew the truth and was about to break down and cry, and was ready to listen to her sweet voice, but Xu Yixing became even calmer.
"Sun Ziyou, it's better for someone like you to have no mother at all."
"What?" Lu Anyuan didn't understand, but his intuition told him that this kid was planning a big move.
"Your evilness is so obvious, it's written all over your face. I don't bother with you because I'm disdainful. You tricked me into going to the cold palace just to vent your disgusting thoughts. Seeing that I'm fine, you're trying to provoke me like this. You really have no manners."
Lu Anyuan felt helpless and suffocated. What? I have no upbringing, am I bad? Fine, then I'll show you how bad I am!
Lu Anyuan suddenly pulled out the branch he'd used to poke the earthworms and stabbed it into Xu Yixing's eyes. "You said I'm disgusting? Then go to hell!"
What Lu Anyuan didn't expect was that Xu Yixing dodged the attack easily. He even used the force to grab the branch and stepped on it.
"You're truly unpresentable, resorting to such despicable sneak attacks. Sun Ziyou, you might as well change your name to Sun Zi."
Lu Anyuan's eyes were red and his whole body was trembling, as if he had been exposed and seen through. Damn it!
Xu Yixing didn't want to get entangled with her, so he turned and left.
I can't let her go! If she leaves, I'll be exposed. What if she goes to confront the real Sun Ziyou? That would be the end of me!
Lu Anyuan was anxious for a moment, grabbed her hair from behind and pulled her back hard. Xu Yixing fell right into a dry well several meters deep.
"Yixing...Xu Yixing!" Lu Anyuan was extremely panicked. He didn't want to kill anyone... What should he do?
run!
He quickly cleaned up the scene and hurried back to the party, pretending he had never left.
It was after that day that Lu Anyuan developed a problem. His hands would tremble whenever he got excited, reminding him all the time that someone had almost died at the hands of these hands.
The next few days were very peaceful. Lu Anyuan asked around about Xu Yixing, fearing that she was dead, and even more afraid that she was alive and would come back to find him.
Fortunately, I heard that the eldest daughter of the Xu family had fallen seriously ill and had lost her memory. She could not remember what happened that day and let Lu Anyuan go in vain.
Lu Anyuan sighed to the sky, and from then on he never dared to do anything bad openly, and his thoughts gradually became hidden.
After meeting Xu Yixing a few times, he discovered that she really didn't remember him, which was great... Until he realized that he had fallen in love with Xu Yixing, he was hopelessly distressed and repented.
After that day, Xu Yixing also developed a bad habit. She would often look for a person named Sun Ziyou in the crowd. Whenever she saw him, she would scold, criticize and isolate him. In fact, she herself didn't understand why.
Anyway, I seem to remember that Sun Ziyou was a real jerk. Later, he was sent to the border to hone his skills, and when he returned, he became her fiancé. Xu Yixing had long forgotten all the unpleasantness and was completely absorbed in following Sun Ziyou's horse racing competitions, watching him become more and more outstanding.
Lu Anyuan took Xu Yixing to the Empress' Zhaoren Palace at a leisurely pace. Seeing that she seemed in a good mood, he thought, "That's good. I hope she won't remember the dry well for the rest of her life."
Although the Empress was not as kind as the Empress Dowager, she was still friendly to Xu Yixing. She just followed the examples of the previous princes' wives, gave them some ordinary rewards, and let them go.
Next was the most favored Concubine Ying. She lived in the most magnificent Zhaode Hall among the six southern palaces, and had to travel from the east to the south, which was really hard.
"Can't these ladies live together? My back is wet from walking into the palace." Xu Yixing complained a lot, but to Lu Anyuan, this complaint sounded like a act of coquettishness.
"That's a good idea. Why didn't you bring it up with the Queen? Maybe she'd think you were being thrifty and just make you a court lady."
"Hmph, even if I enter the palace, I will be the emperor's concubine. How about you call me mother first?"
Xu Yixing is just like that. She won't say a word to people she doesn't want to pay attention to. Whenever she meets someone who is more despicable than herself, she wants to be even more despicable. Now that Lu Anyuan is choked, Xu Yixing is very satisfied.
Lu Anyuan wasn't really angry, he was just secretly glad. Their wedding was in September, which was also the time of the emperor's triennial election, when all unmarried young ladies of marriageable age from official families had to participate.
Fortunately, Yixing pointed her out to me first. Otherwise, if I participated in the selection, my father might really choose her as one of his many concubines. Who would I go to cry to then?
"The Queen seems to be very distant from you and me. Doesn't she like you?"
"She treats everyone the same way. The Eastern Palace is without a master, and all her biological children died young, so she can't show any affection towards any of them, otherwise she will be criticized and people will be suspicious."
"But if that's the case, and none of you seven are close to her, then no matter who ascends the throne in the future, won't that be bad for her?"
