"Yu'er has decided to listen to the story of that year?" Lei Tianyi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Why don't you go back to the guest room with me and sit down, make a pot of tea and let's chat slowly, how about that?"
"You are stalling for time, my king..."
Lei Tianyi knew that he was impatient, but he still stroked his beard unhurriedly. In just five words, he successfully extinguished Ye Yu's dissatisfaction and anxiety, and replaced it with disbelief. He said: "Xiao Yu
Son, you are not the son of Emperor Yehu."
"You... don't talk nonsense. I am not my father's son, am I still your son?" After a brief hesitation, Ye Yu only regarded his words as ridiculous nonsense.
Lei Tianyi looked ashamed, then sighed heavily and said sincerely: "Yu'er, if you want to blame me, you have no complaints..."
"What do you mean? I don't know what you are talking about!" Ye Yu's eyes were slightly red, and his hands were clenched into fists with prominent veins.
"Your Highness, you are not the son of Emperor Yewen. Your biological father is none other than Master." Sikong, who had always seemed to be just a bystander, said calmly, handing over half of the jade ring, "This is a rare blood jade, the one you gave me back then.
It was a love object between my mother and my master. Your birthday was engraved on the inner wall. After the two of them separated, the jade was split into two. Your mother still has the other half in her hand. I wonder if your highness has seen it at Concubine Lan."
Ye Yu stretched out his hand, but did not dare to pick up the half of the blood-colored jade ring. He had indeed met his other half at his mother's place, and it was just by chance that day. Concubine Lan cherished him very much, and hurriedly put it away when she saw him. There seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes.
...Could it be that everything they said is true?
"No, it's impossible, I don't believe it!"
"If your highness doesn't believe it, you can take this jade ring and see clearly whether it is your birth date or not." Sikong said.
Ye Yu quickly glanced at the beautiful piece of crystal-clear jade, and could faintly see the small characters as thin as mosquitoes' feet on it. He suddenly shook off Sikong's hand like crazy, and the jade ring flew out.
With quick hands and quick eyes, Lei Tianyi caught the jade ring that almost fell to the ground. He held it in his hands like a treasure. He took a deep breath with lingering fear and said slowly: "Yu'er, what's the point of lying to you? I've been alone for dozens of years.
Zai, all I’m looking forward to is getting to know your father and son..."
"Stop talking! These are just excuses for you to prevent me from returning to the palace for Emperor Ye Yu and Ye Huang to ascend the throne. Do you think I will be so stupid as to believe you?" Ye Yu's eyes were a little surprised, Lei Tianyi said this
There is no need to tell such a lie to him as a worldly expert. If you really want to keep him, you can be tough. He knows that it is almost impossible for his small team of secret guards to leave Qirui Villa smoothly.
"Yu'er..." Lei Tianyi stared at the jade ring in his hand and said, "I think I chose your name myself..."
"Master Lei, if you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being disrespectful." Ye Yu felt overwhelmed with emotion, but on the surface he still looked like he didn't believe it. In fact, he believed it three-thirds of the time.
"Your Highness, why don't you listen to Master? Since you have determined that he is nonsense, why don't you dare to listen to what happened back then?" Sikong just stood aside, with a green bamboo stick in his hand, and the red tassels on the white jade gently moved in the wind.
Dancing lightly, the light-hearted person seemed like an immortal from the outside world who was not stained by the dust.
Ye Yu looked at Lei Tianyi who was full of earnest eyes, nodded slightly, and said: "Master Lei, just say what you want, but I also made it clear that as long as you fail to convince me, you are not allowed to stop me from going down the mountain.
,how?"
"This..." Lei Tianyi hesitated.
Sikong smiled and said: "Master, just follow His Highness' wishes. The facts are facts. Whether he can be convinced or not is his own business. You and I have nothing to do with the affairs of the world. It was not our intention to get involved in the battle for the throne.
, we have not promised His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince anything. If His Highness Prince Ranrui does not believe you and does not want to recognize you, there is no need for us to make it more difficult. It would be better to just let him go."
"That's fine," Lei Tianyi agreed, tightened the jade ring in his hand, and said slowly, "Yu'er, the matter starts from more than twenty years ago. At that time, Emperor Ye Xun had not yet ascended the throne. Just like today
You, majestic and heroic, are full of hope for the future, but he is just a young prince, not a prince. In order to make himself stronger, he secretly came to the private sector to seek out masters to learn skills."
Ye Yu was a little surprised. Most of the deeds of kings in the past were relatively obscure, so even though he was a prince, he knew very little about Emperor Ye Yu's youth. He only knew that he had a heavy army at a young age, and that his eldest brother and the then Prince Ye Yu were
After his death from illness, he ascended the throne as expected, but he had no idea how far he had gained in martial arts.
"I feel ashamed to say that I was just a fledgling at that time. I thought I was noble after learning some kung fu. In addition, my ancestors had been doing business in Kyoto for generations, and my family was rich and well-off. At such a young age, I became known as an ignorant and ignorant playboy."
Lei Tianyi's old face showed embarrassment, but there was also no lack of nostalgia for his youthful and frivolous days. His eyes were very gentle, not as kind as usual, but more affectionate. Then he said, "Back then, your mother
She is a famous beauty in Beijing, and is known as "amazingly talented" together with the deceased queen Hongnu. Hongnu is a talented woman famous throughout the country, so called "amazingly talented"; and your mother Lan Feiyan is because of her stunning beauty.
She has become the object of many men's desires and is called "extremely beautiful". Although the Lei family is somewhat famous in the capital, the Lan family is a famous official family, so your mother and I had no chance of meeting each other."
"Then how did you meet?" Ye Yu asked. He felt that the words were inappropriate, so he pretended to cough and said, "I just hope that you will finish speaking quickly so that I can let me go."
Lei Tianyi smiled, but did not point out anything, and continued: "It was the annual Yuelao Temple Fair. As usual, I called friends and wandered the streets thinking that I was a romantic, and I happened to meet someone who went to Yuelao Temple to offer incense.
Yan'er, although we are separated by a gauze curtain, I still clearly remember her wearing an orchid-colored dress in the soft sedan chair..."
"Ahem." Sikong clenched his fist to his lips and coughed, reminding Master to stay away.
Lei Tianyi smiled awkwardly, "It's really a bastard to say that I was young and ignorant at the time. I was shocked when I saw your mother's appearance. I couldn't stand the instigation of my companions and actually led someone to follow the Lan family's team. I have been accustomed to it since I was a child.
Wu and his entourage are all top-notch thugs, so they kidnapped Lan Feiyan easily."
Speaking of this, Lei Tianyi looked ashamed, but he had no regrets. Perhaps the so-called "bastard" period was actually his most unforgettable beauty.
"I intended to belittle her, but she was not frightened. Instead, she made me feel embarrassed. I didn't dare to do anything wrong to her. Then Emperor Ye Xun appeared. He was also young and energetic. He only wanted to be a hero to save the beauty, but he was helpless.
My opponent was captured by me." Lei Tianyi mentioned that part of the past, still feeling fresh in his memory, "I recognized the jade pendant he wore around his waist. I knew that he had a distinguished status, and I didn't want to cause trouble. At that time, my father and I
I had some friendship with the head of the Hong family, so I sent him to the Hong family where the head of the family was only a seventh-grade official at that time, that is, the Hong slave and Hong Fangsu, the father of the current Prime Minister Hong. It was at that time that Emperor Yehu just paid attention to that
My daughter, Hongnu, has deep roots in love."
Lei Tianyi looked deeply at the blood jade ring in his hand, and said with emotion: "It's really a trick of fate, and fate is really annoying. Originally, the Lei family and the Hong family had a marriage arrangement, and a baby marriage was arranged for me and the Hong slave, but...
Ever since he met Emperor Yehu, the old father of the Hong family has had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and he only wants to marry his daughter to Emperor Yehu."
"The Red Square Sculpture finally made a dream come true. The red slave went from being a daughter of a small family to becoming a princess. The story of the two getting married became a legend. But as the saying goes, some families are happy and some are sad. Hong Slave
We were lovers and finally got married. I was regretted by the Hong family and ended up with a pitiful reputation. But Lan Feiyan, who was secretly in love with Emperor Yewen who sacrificed her life to save her, could only hang her head secretly in the boudoir.
Tears."
After a long pause, Lei Tianyi said: "I was living in a haze in those days. You are young people, and you may know the kind of lovesickness that feels like a lump in your throat... Hey, it's really inappropriate for me, an old man, to say this.
,but……"
"Master, just say it directly, I think His Royal Highness Prince Rui will understand what you mean." Sikong said.
Ye Yu was startled, Lei Tianyi's words "like a stuck in his throat", he just thought about how Tianhua Yunshang felt like this when he was with the high priest these days... When his name was called by Sikong, his handsome face turned red instantly, as if he had been
Catch the troubled child.
Just as he was thinking about what to say, Lei Tianyi's next story quickly diverted his attention.
"In order to gain the throne, Emperor Yefu must win over the ministers of the court. At that time, the powerful elder of the three dynasties, Mr. Lan, was the minister whom the prince and Emperor Yefu competed to please. And Lan Feiyan was the granddaughter of Mr. Lan.
His love for the only eldest granddaughter of the Lan family has never been a secret in the capital, so as long as Lan Feiyan nodded, she could be the crown prince or any prince's concubine, but she was willing to surrender.
You are so noble that you are willing to be Ye Xun's concubine and be inferior to the red slave."
Ye Yu was quite surprised. He knew that his mother, who always dressed up noble and elegant, was never unkind and always acted aloof. Her status in the harem could be regarded as covering the sky with only one hand. He didn't expect that she
When he was young, he did this for Emperor Ye Xun.
"Yechun and I have never known each other, and we have become good friends who talk about everything. The day before the wedding, he invited me to drink, and the two of us got very drunk, so he promised me that even if Yaner marries
Give it to him, and he will never touch my beloved woman in this life." Lei Tianyi closed his eyes and shook his head, as if he had returned to that ridiculous night that year, "I was also drunk, and I just shouted like a good brother, and
Unexpectedly, what he said was true. Lan Feiyan had been married to him for a whole year, but he never married her and even ignored her."
"I have only loved one woman, Lan Feiyan, in my life. I have devoted all my passion and youth to her. Even if she marries someone else, I still risk my life and often sneak into the palace to visit her. She has always been indifferent to me, and I also
It doesn’t matter, just staying with her and looking at her is enough, and she is also minding her own business playing the piano and painting, so quiet and beautiful..."
"Until the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, I went to the palace to see her just like every festival. Emperor Ye Xun was accompanying his Red Slave Queen as before, but he was thoughtful enough to give her a pot of plum blossom wine. Then she and I both
After drinking the wine, she got drunk and cried to me about Emperor Ye Ku's neglect. But I discovered that there was something wrong with the wine after it was too late. The wine contained the unique night fragrance of the palace. The two of us spent the most ridiculous time together.
