Although the original plot did not focus too much on the deposed crown prince, Rong Si still learned about his past and even his personality from some minor details.
For a long period of time when he was young, he was really stupid because of the poisoning. The occasional lucid moments were only for a very short time. That was why he was able to live intact for so many years in front of the two ruthless brothers of the Mu family.
Later, he was lucky. He foolishly followed Mu Yuanxiu to offer sacrifices to the sky. An old monk who was good friends with the late queen saw him like this and softened his heart for a moment. He secretly asked his friend to detoxify him. But at that time, the nine-year-old Mu Yichen had lost many opportunities. The military power had nothing to do with him, and the government affairs had nothing to do with him. Because he was poisoned and stupid at the age of seven, he didn't even read much, and he still carried a deep blood feud.
It can be said that the old monk was not only his savior, but also his mentor, and he even resolved a lot of the hostility in this man.
After that, he pretended to be crazy and stupid in the palace while studying and learning literature with an old monk. He even took advantage of his stupidity and followed Mu Yuanxiu, who was studying various courses at the time, every day. While the other party was studying in the house, he was outside watching ants moving. If he was not digging earthworms, his ears were completely listening to the various theories of the tutor, trying hard to absorb them.
As soon as Mu Yuanxiu finished his lessons, he immediately rushed up with the bug in his hand, and called him with a smile to play with him, because he was a fool, which had been verified by countless people long ago, and not many people cared about him. He always followed Mu Yuanxiu and called him "Brother, Brother" every day.
Even the only tutor who noticed something was wrong remained silent.
He is old and can't care so much anymore.
When the Grand Tutor died, Mu Yichen kowtowed three times in his direction.
Apart from the old monk, this old master taught him the most, so he had to kowtow to them these three times.
Then he continued his life of pretending to be crazy and stupid, but privately he had already begun to recruit his own talents. Often, the Canghai Building that the students visited the most was managed by his people.
Shao Qingwei's poem "Qingyu'an" made her famous in Canghai Tower.
Rong Si looked at the silly smile, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the pink and white corners of a piece of clothing in front of the courtyard gate on one side.
"What are you doing?"
She asked softly.
Who knew that the eunuchs would wave their hands without even turning their heads, "It's none of your business."
"presumptuous!"
Before Rong Si could say anything, a row of young eunuchs behind her immediately rushed forward. It seemed that each of them knew a little bit of martial arts. They took two steps forward and kicked the young eunuchs who had gathered together and had not yet reacted to the ground. It was not known whether they were insidious or whether this was just the way everyone in this world was, but those people actually kicked each other three inches below the navel, causing those young eunuchs to lie on the ground one by one with pale faces, covering their lower bodies. When they saw Rong Si standing aside and sniffing the plum blossoms, they did not even dare to say a word or cry out in pain. They immediately knelt down one by one and started slapping Rong Si in the face.
"This slave deserves death, this slave deserves death..."
Repeated continuously.
How could they not deserve to die? She actually said "you have no control" in front of the Imperial Concubine. This is not only because she is dissatisfied with her own life, but also with the lives of her family. There is no place in the harem that she cannot control, except for His Majesty. She can control everything. She can control everything. Even taking your life is a grace for you, and you still have to thank her.
They really lost their minds from bullying the deposed crown prince. No matter how much fun it was to bully him, it was not as fun as being alive. It was all over now, all over!
The more the young eunuchs thought so, the more fiercely they slapped themselves. Soon the corners of their mouths and noses were bleeding, but they still slapped themselves numbly and admitted their mistakes numbly. As long as they could survive, nothing else mattered.
Behind them, Mu Yichen, who was holding a cake, sat on the ground, staring blankly in the direction of Rong Si, as if he was frightened.
Rong Si turned her head and glanced at him, then plucked off a plum blossom that was in full bloom in front of her and played with it for a while. "Okay, stop fighting. You haven't answered my question just now. What are you doing? You seem very happy..."
As soon as Rong Si spoke, the whole row of people stopped almost at the same time. The one kneeling in the middle quickly walked forward on his knees, "Your Majesty, we were just playing with Prince Rui. We didn't expect to disturb your majesty. Please forgive us, Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Rong Si glanced at the white cake in Mu Yichen's hand that was covered with dirt and snow, "Hehe, this is a very unique way to play."
"This slave deserves death, this slave deserves death..."
Mu Yichen's title of King Rui was given to him by the late emperor because he felt sorry for him. But it was just an empty title. Everyone knew that this King Rui was a person who stepped on everyone in the harem. If you gave him some food, he would follow you like a dog and let you play with him as you pleased. They were really stupid before. They knew clearly that the imperial concubine had given orders to all palaces and princes yesterday that she would appreciate the plum blossoms tomorrow and all outsiders should leave. How could they have been so lucky as to think that this place was too remote and the imperial concubine would not come at all? Now, everything is over for a moment of happiness!
"come here… "
Rong Si stretched out the plum branch in her hand and pointed it in the direction of Mu Yichen. When the other party saw that something was wrong, he stuffed the cake into his mouth and tried to escape, but he was still caught and brought in front of Rong Si. He screamed like a pig being slaughtered almost the entire way, and when he reached Rong Si, the residue in his mouth almost sprayed all over her skirt.
Is this retaliation? This is definitely retaliation!
Her current father is the murderer of her mother, so he also resents and hates her. But it’s okay. The -0 favorability rating means that the man has his own thoughts in his mind. He probably thinks that his children should not be blamed for the crime.
Mu Yichen was almost pressed down and lay at her feet. He tried to struggle but couldn't get free. Rong Si squatted down and looked at him.
There was a faint scar on the man's face, and it was impossible to tell what had caused it. He was wearing extremely thin clothes, and his hands were already covered with frostbite. For a prince to have frostbite on his hands, it was obvious what kind of life he led. One of his shoes was lost when the little eunuchs teased him, and the other was lost when she was dragged over by her men, revealing a pair of red, frozen feet with several scars on them as well.
With round eyes, he looked at Rong Si's direction fiercely, "Go ahead..."
Because there was something in his mouth, the sound of "let go" was unclear. Rong Si smiled and gently stroked his face with the plum branch, and then stroked it again.
The other person just stared at her, mumbling something in his mouth.
At this moment, the woman who had been standing behind the gate finally frowned, thought about it, and walked out.
"I pay my respects to your Majesty."
The woman was standing there in a half-bowed posture, and her whole body looked like a tall and straight cedar.
Rong Si continued to tease Mu Yichen, her subordinate, and had no intention of answering. She just kept smiling.
Seeing that Rong Si did not answer her woman, she frowned again, thought for a long time, and finally looked up, "My Lady, as the saying goes, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Although His Royal Highness Prince Rui is mentally handicapped, he has a pitiful life experience and a pure heart. He has suffered humiliation from these eunuchs. Why do you..."
Shao Qingwei revealed her innocent little face, which was completely different from Rong Si's enchanting beauty. The determination in her eyes and brows gave her pitiful figure something else.
The heroine, as a creature, always has a wonderful magnetic field different from ordinary people. She can always discover countless excellent or excellent men, lend a helping hand to them, and even say a few good words, beg for a few favors, or accidentally save them and care for them, so that she can eventually develop them into various male supporting roles, or even the male protagonist.
I remember that in the original plot, Shao Qingwei saved the three brothers of the Mu family more than once, including Mu Yichen. Even when she met him in the palace, she would give him some food and two sets of warm clothes.
You asked her if she knew that Mu Yichen was pretending to be stupid. Of course she didn’t know.
But the heroine does have this kind of magical power. Any person she shows favor to plays a crucial role in the development of the plot. Otherwise, why would she turn a blind eye to the young eunuchs over there whose noses were bleeding? Otherwise, why would she not pay attention to the palace maids who were about to freeze to death, killed by others, beaten to death, or died in various ways? It's because they are all background boards. The heroine's magnetic field tells her that it would be useless to save them, so it is better to protect herself.
"What's wrong with me? Let go of my hands..."
Rong Si puffed up her cheeks, looking a little unhappy. She then helped Mu Yichen up from the ground and wiped the corners of her mouth with her personal handkerchief. "We are just joking, don't you think? Is it fun?"
"Is not fun… "
Mu Yichen stretched out his hand to push her away, but Rong Si grabbed his waist before he could, "It's fun!"
"It's not fun, it's not fun, Ah Chen doesn't want to play with you!"
"Xiao Luzi, where are my pastries?"
"Here it is, Madam..."
"I'll give you all of this to eat, and you play with me."
Hearing this, Mu Yichen glanced at the pastries in Rong Si's hand, then looked at her smiling face.
"Give me all... all?"
He seemed a little unconvinced.
"Of course, try one, it's delicious, they are my favorite!"
As she spoke, Rong Si reached out, picked up a piece, and stuffed it into Mu Yichen's mouth without saying a word.
The slightly cool fingers directly brushed across the other's soft lips. Rong Si didn't react at all, but Mu Yichen on the other side couldn't help but shudder in his heart. However, he quickly reacted, smacked his lips, and immediately began to devour the food happily.
This Prince Rui likes to eat desserts, and almost no one in the harem doesn't know it.
Seeing him eating so happily, Rong Si smiled at him, then turned to look in the direction of Shao Qingwei, "I haven't asked you yet. I said I was going to enjoy the plum blossoms in the plum garden. Who are you and why are you here? No, who are you? How come I have never seen you before? Are you a maid from which palace? You are dressed so poorly. Doesn't the emperor allocate money to your palace? Why do you go out in such a mourning dress? There is also an ugly girl behind you. I have to say that you are quite scheming. There are so many girls in the palace, and you picked such an ugly one. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the emperor will fall in love with your maid? Forget it, I think it is difficult for the emperor to even fall in love with you. What are you worried about? Okay, okay, I will count to three, and you little eunuchs, and your two little maids, disappear from my sight immediately, one!"
As soon as Rong Si finished her words, the young eunuchs over there rushed out immediately, completely ignoring Shao Qingwei and her maid who were half-crouching at the gate of the courtyard. They rushed forward so quickly that they almost knocked her to the ground.
"two!"
"Master, let's go!"
When the little palace maid behind Shao Qingwei heard this, her face turned pale and she pulled her.
She closed her eyes, stood up and ran out with the little palace maid.
Seeing this, Rong Si smiled and stuck out her tongue in the direction the two men left.
However, she didn't expect that her appearance would directly fall into the eyes of Mu Yichen who was beside her, and he was stunned.
Feeling the gazes beside her, Rong Si turned her head and said, "Eat it. Don't you like it? I still have some. I don't know what's so good about this kind of cake? It's hard and has no taste except sweetness."
Rong Si waved her hand nonchalantly.
Then she watched the man in front of her running out with the pastries in his arms. When he ran to the gate of the yard, he actually stuck out his tongue at her.
Rong Si was stunned for a moment, then she started laughing, and her bright laughter almost spread throughout the entire plum garden.
Mu Yichen, holding the pastries, paused and continued to run forward. Shao Qingwei, who had not walked away for long, turned her head and looked in the direction of the plum garden.
She was just a spoiled little girl. With this kind of mind, who knows how she will die after her father falls? Why should she bother with her? Just live her own life. Who will have the last laugh in the future is still uncertain!
But who would have thought that when she returned to her palace, she found that the only wintersweet in her yard had been dug up by the roots and no one knew where it had been thrown away.
After asking, I found out that the plum blossoms were actually planted by Concubine Rong when she was passing outside the wall. She saw plum branches sticking out and thought they were an eyesore so she dug them up. She also said that they were not allowed to plant plum blossoms in their yard anymore.
After hearing what the palace maid said, the young palace maid who had just followed Shao Qingwei for a short time couldn't help but say that it was too much.
"Green Fu, that's enough..."
"Master, I've always heard from the palace servants that the Imperial Concubine is overbearing. Who knew she was so overbearing? Not only did she say you were a little maid who wasn't favored by the Emperor in the Plum Garden, but she even dug up our plum tree. You and her have no grudges, so how could she do this to you? Obviously, the Emperor comes to see you every day. I think that even though the Imperial Concubine is favored, she must also..."
"Green Fu!"
Shao Qingwei shouted.
The little palace maid then covered her mouth in fear.
In fact, the fact that the emperor came to see his master every day was known to the entire Cuiwei Palace, but it was kept secret from the outside world. In fact, this was also the emperor's intention, wanting to protect his master, but now she actually said it so carelessly, if there were ears on the other side of the wall, then...
"Master, Lu Fu knows she is wrong and asks for your punishment."
"Go to the side hall and reflect on yourself. You are not allowed to eat at night."
"yes."
"You all go out, I want to sit by myself for a while."
"yes."
But after a while, the door was pushed open from the outside. There was no charcoal fire in the room, so Shao Qingwei directly felt a cold wind blowing towards her through the crack in the door.
"I told you I want to be alone, don't you understand?"
Shao Qingwei was a little annoyed.
"What's wrong? Qingwei."
But she didn't expect that the person who spoke was actually a man, so Shao Qingwei turned her head suddenly.
Just then she saw a man in a dark satin robe standing at the door, smiling at her.
"You... why are you here?"
"I just finished reviewing the memorials and had some free time, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect to see you and the palace servants waiting outside, so I came in to look for you. What's wrong? I saw that you were in a bad mood..."
"Nothing, I just ran into some troubles. Do you want to have dinner here tonight? I'll cook!"
"No, I have to go to the Imperial Concubine tonight. She has been making a lot of noise lately. I'm afraid she will make trouble for you sooner or later. I plan to go and comfort her tonight."
When Shao Qingwei heard the word "imperial concubine", her expression immediately froze.
Mu Yuanxiu was very observant. When he saw Shao Qingwei like this, he immediately stepped forward and held her arms. "Has she already found an excuse to attack you? Do you know that unruly woman..."
"No, it's not a big deal..."
At this time, Lu Fu, who had been standing outside, finally couldn't stand it anymore. She came out from the side hall after hearing people outside say that the emperor was coming. When she heard that her master was still prepared to swallow her suffering, she wanted to stand up for him.
"Master, please don't be so easy to bully. Lu Fu can't stand it anymore." After saying that, Lu Fu knelt in front of Mu Yuanxiu, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Lu Fu has no intention of offending you, but the master was really angry with the imperial concubine in the plum garden..."
The little girl might have a talent for storytelling. She told Mu Yuanxiu everything Rong Si had done with great enthusiasm, but she had no intention of exaggerating. Her master had suffered a loss, so why bother adding fuel to the fire
Or maybe my master is easy to bully and doesn't even complain to the emperor, but how can I accept this
Not having any competition in the harem is the biggest taboo, my silly master!
It would be a good idea to ask His Majesty to go to the Imperial Concubine to help you knock on the door!
After listening to the little palace maid's narration, Mu Yuanxiu looked outside and found that the plum tree outside the window that he had praised for its beautiful blooming yesterday had disappeared. Only petals were left on the ground. What a waste of natural resources.
Rong Si had to say that she was too presumptuous! Did she really think that she was the only one in charge of the harem
When Shao Qingwei saw that Mu Yuanxiu's face was not right, she immediately signaled Lu Fu to go out and reached out to hold Mu Yuanxiu's hand, "Yuanxiu, I'm fine, I just got hurt by what she said. It's a pity that the plum tree was dug up, but winter is almost over, and I just want to plant some orchids. It's nothing, don't get angry because of me. You are so busy on weekdays, and I don't want you to have to worry about these jealousies in the harem when I'm here."
Hearing this, Mu Yuanxiu turned his head and glanced at Shao Qingwei. The other person's eyes were full of seriousness. She really thought so.
In her opinion, Mu Yuanxiu's heart was with her, so there was no need for her to fuss over these little things. Anyway, I would not offend others unless they offended me. She was just scolded a few times today, but nothing happened to her. Being more magnanimous would make Mu Yuanxiu feel sorry for her even more.
When it comes to her real interests in the future, she will let that spoiled little girl see what her methods are.
"Qingwei..."
Mu Yuanxiu was quite moved and held her hand, then took her into his arms, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position, but don't worry, sooner or later I will..."
Before he could finish his words, Shao Qingwei reached out and covered his lips. "There are some things we don't have to think about all the time. I believe in you. I really believe in you. Our relationship is not so fragile, right?"
Hearing this, Mu Yuanxiu gently held her hand, brought it to his mouth, kissed it gently, and then put her hand against his chest, "How lucky am I to have met you in this life?"
Shao Qingwei smiled but didn't say anything.
At night, Mu Yuanxiu left to favor Rong Si.
Shields are treated as they should be.
In the evening, because there were only two meals a day in ancient times, Rong Si only drank some soup at night, and just when she felt a little sick of it.
The two voices rang out again.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Ding-
System prompt: Found the scum Mu Yuanxiu, system score 6, can be regarded as a general strategy target, do you want to enable the favorability query
…Mu Yuanxiu’s current favorability: -30.
Oh, it's even lower than Mu Yichen's revenge for killing his mother. What's wrong? Did Rong Si dig up his ancestral grave
Just as I was thinking this, I saw a man in dark black robes walking in with a cold aura.
The straight nose, narrow eyes and thin lips show a face that shows a mean and unfeeling person who is likely to die early.
Rong Si slandered in her heart.
