Chapter 8 Charming Woman
At night, a cold moon hangs high in the sky, quietly blooming its thousand years of luxury.
The Taizi is second only to the place where Emperor Xia lived in the Qinglong Palace. Since ancient times, many princes have been able to live in it and meet each other. That not only knows a gorgeous palace, but also represents the qualification to sit on the dragon chair with the power of life and death in the future. The imperial family has no family affection, only power and ambition.
"It's so hateful that I didn't expect that my father would believe Lao San and that woman, as well as Lao Qi. What medicine did he take wrong today? Whose brother is he to help Lao San speak? Xia Yan threw the teacup to the ground fiercely, and the hot tea splashed on the ground.
"Prince, why do you need to be angry?" The speaker is a woman who is good enough to be charming, and her eyes are enchanting.
"Lan'er, why don't you tell me not to be angry? The father inexplicably transferred Lao San back to the court, which was obviously dissatisfied with me. He wanted to take this opportunity to suppress his arrogance, but he didn't expect it to be this situation, and the mirror around him was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Since it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, let's wait slowly until the lamp is dry." Dugulan returned to a cup of tea and did not hand it to Xia Yan, but drank it himself. "The third prince has no connections in the court, and he only has 100,000 military power of the emperor in his hand. Why should you suppress him, prince? What's more, the emperor clearly intends to help him. If you suppress him openly at this time, isn't it equivalent to disobeying the emperor? So at this time, we should wait and see what happens and do nothing.
"Then wait like this?"
"Wait, acting recklessly when the situation is not yet clear will only benefit others. Judging from today's events, Murong Lingyue is not a simple role. I heard that even Li Jinglue was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Xia Yan sat on the mahogany carved chair and motioned Dugulan to pour a cup of tea for him: "No, to be honest, I really admired her at that time. Even a man may not have that courage."
Dugulan handed the celadon teacup to Xia Kang and suddenly smiled charmingly: "So, do you like her?"
"Listen to what you said, I really have an evil idea. I really want to see what such an arrogant woman looks like."
"Then why don't you go to the Qinghe Hall to taste the princess of Cang Kingdom?"
"Ha ha, don't I have you?" Xia Yan put down the teacup, dragged Dugulan into his arms, put his hands into the thin clothes, and slowly walked up along his thin waist, causing Dugulan to tremble slightly.
"I'm not feeling well." Dugulan's face was blushed, and she was as delicate as an orchid blooming at midnight under the orange candlelight, and this look made Xia Yan's evil fire burn more vigorously.
"Your uncomfortable days have been too long. Don't you have other men?" Xia Kang lowered his head and kissed the beebe in his arms.
"I'm serious." Dugulan broke free from Xia Yan's arms, "I'm pregnant."
"What? Are you pregnant? Xia Yan immediately stood up from the chair and walked over to hug Dugulan, "So I'm going to be a father?"
Dugulan nodded and said happily, "I hope to have a daughter for you."
Why is it a daughter? You should have a son for me."
"It's better to have a smart daughter than to have a stupid son." Dugulan's eyes were full of tears, and she cried pitifully.
"It's my fault that I didn't protect our son well. Don't worry, I will never let our child suffer any more this time."
Three years ago, Dugulan became the emperor's ceremonial, and then gave birth to a baby boy for the prince. Named Xia Zhi, he died in less than 100 days. In the court full of conspiracy and tricks, the birth of every royal bloodline must be baptized with blood, and only those who are lucky enough can survive. And in that conspiracy, the figure that appeared was Xia Yan's main room, Ke Ruyan.
If it hadn't been for Ke Ruyan's crown princess, and her brother Ke Chengyang's prestige in the world, Xia Yan would have deposed or beheaded him. Of course, what made Xia Yan most afraid was Ke Wu, the Marquis of Ning, who still held 500,000 military power behind Ke Ruyan.
I thought that the daughter of the Marquis of Ning could take some military power, but the Marquis of Ning did not buy his account as a prince at all and showed no mercy. And Ke Ruyan didn't look like a wife at all. Although there was a fact of husband and wife, Xia Yan couldn't stand Ke Ruyan's cold appearance for a long time, and then took Dugulan, the common daughter of the general of Zhenguo, Dugulan, as Fengyi.
It may not be believed by ordinary people that Xia Yan fell in love with the beautiful Dugulan at first sight, and after that, he only spoiled Dugulan. At that time, the historian only used four words to comment on Dugulan: a charming woman.
No one knows how miserable Dugulan lived when she was young, which originated from her mother, the famous prostitute in the State of Chu.
It's hard for a daughter to laugh, and it's a pity to read it all my life. Countless princes and nobles who asked for a smile could not understand why the beautiful shadows never smiled, until the domineering man in silver armor appeared and never smiled.
With a smile, Duguba took the world-famous geisha as his concubine. However, later, Duguba knew that the shadow he loved was made by the State of Chu. In the will of Emperor Xia, he personally wrapped Bai Ling around her neck and watched the woman he once loved die.
That was Dugulan, who was only nine years old. She couldn't stop her mother from falling.
Duguba could not face Dugulan, who looked like a shadow, and then asked Emperor Xia to go to the western frontier. At that time, Xia Kang, the third prince who was tired of the struggle of the court, also took the initiative to ask Emperor Xia to go to the battlefield with Duguba.
Since then, Dugulan has lived a life that is not as good as a beast. She has been severely beaten by Duguba's main room every day, and she has been bullied by her brother and sister. When she was young, she also asked her brother and sister why she treated her like that.
The answer is that because your mother is a sinner and a dirty prostitute, the daughter of a prostitute should live a life worse than a pig or a dog.
Just because of the humble status, will you suffer from being treated worse than animals?
When Duguba returned to the court, 14-year-old Dugulan told him that she wanted to become the most famous geisha in Xia. She wanted to shame the Dugu family and let the world know that Duguba's daughter was a geisha.
Dugu Ba fiercely beat his daughter, who used to be regarded as a treasure. He clearly remembered what Du Gulan said: Dugu, the general of Zhenguo, who frightened the enemy on the battlefield in the past, can only punch and kick his daughter now.
After breaking Dugulan's four ribs and two leg bones, Dugu's heart softened. In the following days, Duguba tried his best to compensate for the daughter he tried his best to escape, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not save Dugulan's already dead heart.
When Dugulan was 15 years old, she broke off her relationship with Duguba and left home.
At that time, Dugulan knew that the palace was recruiting maids. Through bribery, Dugulan, who was beautiful, successfully entered the palace and was even divided into the uterus. A few days, the prince fell in love with this maid who smiled like a famous prostitute in those years and named her Fengyi.
That is, from then on, Dugulan knew that if she wanted not to be bullied, she must hold power, so she must catch the prince, the man second only to the emperor.
