Chapter 27 The Past of Beichen Yeli
"Then please pay attention to this matter and don't forget it." The Empress Dowager said.
"I know, mother, don't worry." Beichen Yeli put down the teacup, stood up, arched her hand to the Empress Dowager, and said modestly and politely, "Mother, it's getting late. I'm going back to the bedroom without disturbing your rest."
"Well, go back." What should be said has been said, and the Empress Dowager did not force Beichen Yeli. She waved to Beichen Yeli with a tired face and said, "Go back, little Hezi, you send the emperor for your family."
"Your Majesty, please." Eou-in-law said to Beichen Yeli with a flattering smile.
Beichen Yeli still had a gentle smile on his face. He took his father-in-law out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom and walked back.
As it became farther and farther away from the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the smile on Beichen Yeli's face became lighter and lighter, and finally there was only apathy left.
He strode into his bedroom and saw his favorite little white fox lying leisurely on the wide dragon** dozed off.
At the thought of being invited to dinner by the Empress Dowager for a purpose, the nerves of his whole body were tight, but the little fox could leisurely eat and drink here leisurely, and leisurely dozed off, Beichen Yeli felt discouraged.
He waved his hand blankly and withdrew all the eunuchs and maids in the bedroom.
went to the bed and sat down by the bed. He gently stroked Hu Yimeng's fur, raised a smile on the corners of his mouth, and said slightly self-deprecatingly, "Compared with your little fox, my life is not as comfortable as yours."
Hearing Beichen Yeli's words, Hu Yimeng was shocked and suddenly fell asleep and ran away. She looked up and looked at Beichen Yeli.
Although the emperor smiled with an evil and seductive face, his eyes were very bitter.
Please, you are all emperors, okay? What else is there to be unhappy about? Hu Yi's dream is not clear.
"Well, is it happier to be a fox?" Beichen Yeli sighed, and a tired look appeared on his face.
Hu Yimeng tilted her head and looked at him. It was the first time she saw this cold-blooded and powerful scheming man showing such a tired look.
Beichen Yeli held Hu Yimeng into his arms, stroked her smooth fur and said, "Little fox, do you know? When I was young, I always hated why I was born in an imperial family, not in a civilian family. At that time, I was just an unnoticed prince. My mother is just a maid of honor who was in a low position and was accidentally spoiled by the late emperor after getting drunk. The drunken mistake of the late emperor unexpectedly made my mother have me. The late emperor originally planned to give her a noble or something after she gave birth to me, but unfortunately she died when she gave birth to me. With so many concubines and concubines in the former emperor's harem, how could they care about a maid who died in childbirth and her son? At that time, Empress Xiaocheng, who was in charge of the harem, only divided a remote and narrow yard and several old matan to raise me. From my birth to my six years old, I had never seen the legendary father or come out of that small yard. Later, Empress Xiaocheng was born, and I saw the late emperor for the first time.
Speaking of this, Beichen Yeli smiled sarcastically, "The former emperor also remembered that he still had ten princes who had never met before. However, I think so. The former emperor has 14 sons in his life, and I am only the most humble and inconspicuous one of them. Of course, he can't remember.
While listening to Beichen Yeli talk about her background, Hu Yimeng sighed in her heart that the most ruthless imperial family was the family. Unexpectedly, Beichen Yeli still had such a bitter childhood. She can imagine that she hasn't been out of that small yard since she was six years old, and she hasn't seen her father, let alone enjoying a trace of family affection. Although Beichen Yeli didn't mention it, his life must have been very hard at that time. Those old maids who served him must have given him this unfavorable. Look at the prince's face.
"After the emperor remembered that there was still me as a prince, he might be out of guilt and wanted to compensate me, so he asked me to move from the small yard where I lived to a small building called Tingxuelou next to the prince's bedroom. He told the prince to take more care of me and sent another steward named Lan Xiao to take care of me. Aunt Lan Xiao treated me very well, but unfortunately, these actions of the former emperor made my eldest brother, His Royal Highness, feel a sense of crisis. My eldest brother did come to 'take care of' me every day according to the instructions of the previous emperor.
When it comes to "care", Beichen Yeli smiled again with a sarcastic smile: "Their 'care' let me know that there is a more painful experience in the world than the indifferent treatment of the old matan who served me before. When my dignity as a human being is trampled under my feet, I really hate myself extremely much. Why were you born in the emperor's family? Why were you born in this emperor's family without any warmth!"
A very vivid picture flashed in Hu Yimeng's mind, a six- or seven-year-old thin child who had no ability to resist was bullied by other teenagers. The difference is that people will never accuse those teenagers who bully the small and bully the weak. On the contrary, they will also help those noble teenagers bully the child together.
Is this the childhood of Beichen Yeli? There is no trace of warmth, but the coldness of the world...
"This kind of day lasted until I was ten years old." Beichen Yeli's eyebrows frowned tightly, and a painful and violent light flashed in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "That day, my eldest brother brought a group of angry lackeys to listen to Xuelou bully me. As soon as they entered the building, they beat and smashed me. Aunt Lan Xiao protected me behind me, and I smelled a strong smell of wine. , I think the prince must have drunk a lot of wine that day, and by the way, he took advantage of the 'wine boom' to visit my listening snow building. I originally thought that the prince and the others would probably leave today after listening to the snow building and bullying me as usual. Unfortunately, what I didn't expect was that they actually put their bad thoughts on Aunt Lan Xiao!"
Beichen Yeli clenched his fists, his eyes were round, and his expression was very ferocious. He continued to say with difficulty, "Prince, they are not even as good as beasts. He ordered his men to close the door, look at everyone in the snow building, tie my hands and feet, and then take my face to give Aunt Lan Xiao, who usually cares about me most... ... Aunt Lan Xiao couldn't bear the humiliation. She hit her head on the pillar and disappeared. The prince and the others knew that the matter was a big deal this time, so they hurriedly left the snow tower, found the first emperor, and raked them first. They said that their evil deeds to Aunt Lan Xiao had seduced the prince, so they were ashamed and angry! But do you know how my father handled this matter?
Hu Yimeng suddenly felt in his heart. I'm afraid that the old emperor would not punish the prince for a maid beside his unfavored son.
"My father believed the prince's nonsense, but sent someone to quietly deal with Aunt Lan Xiao's afterthought, so lightly to turn over the matter!"
Hu Yimeng sighed. This is a society without the rule of law, and human life is like grass.
She gently arched to Beichen Yeli's arms and silently comforted him.
Beichen Yeli felt that the little fox in his arms was close to his body, and the hand he had been holding slowly opened. As he calmed down his excitement, he stroked the fur of the little fox in his arms.
After a long time, he opened his mouth a little stuffy, "Since then, I understand that there is no warmth in this palace. Here, whoever has the right has absolute power and execution! You can kill people at will, and you can easily cover up all crimes! From then on, I made up my mind to have great rights to avenge Aunt Lan Xiao and protect myself and the people around me from being hurt!"
Hu Yimeng quietly listened to Beichen Yeli tell her story. She was a good listener. She could feel Beichen Yeli's unwillingness and desire for rights and protection of herself and the people around her.
This is the beginning of Beichenye's step-by-step whirlpool of the power struggle of Dayu and victory...
