Although there are many women around you, each with fat and thin, in the emperor's heart, if you really want to say who has the most weight, you still have to be the first queen.

She was his first wife. When he was an unknown prince, he was with him, sharing the joys and sorrows. They spent a long time together. The beautiful, painful, sad, and joyful experiences together. The queen was most worried about before her death was Prince Xiuwen. The emperor had countless beauties around her. When she died, other women would replace her position. The emperor would have many children, but she only had one Xiuwen. If she died, what should Xiuwen do?

Therefore, before her death, she did not forget to hold the emperor's hand and asked him to take good care of Xiuwen, and never forget that they were a family.

This is also why the deposed prince tried every means to deliver the last piece of mother's belonging to Eunuch Jiang. It was a string of Buddhist beads that had been around for a long time. It was a long time ago. When the queen was just pregnant, the emperor brought it back for her in a private visit. At the same time, he also brought it back, including King Cheng's biological mother, a beautiful man from Jiangnan who was both talented and beautiful.

This string of Buddhist beads is not precious, so it was preserved when the deposed prince was locked up in the alley of Xici. When the emperor saw this string of Buddhist beads, he remembered the former queen, and remembered that he was ashamed of her, and ignored her death and entrusted her orphan to imprison their only son into the alley of Xici.

Eunuch Jiang sighed at the right time again and said that it was the fifteenth day of the night, and it was soon the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This is what the deposed prince told him. The emperor's face was really moving after hearing this. Mid-Autumn Festival is also the birth date of the deposed prince. He still remembers how happy this child was when he was born. Prince Xiuwen has always been the emperor's pride. He has been generous and talented since childhood. The emperor has tried his best to teach him. However, this father-son relationship changed after the deposed prince became an adult. The older emperor began to fear the young prince, fearing that he would imitate his ancestors to force the palace to seize the throne, so he was wary of the prince.

This is also why the emperor ordered people to capture the deposed prince without even thinking about it. The fear in his heart was hooked up, so he forgot that Prince Xiuwen was his son and completely regarded him as an enemy to steal his throne.

Four years have passed. When she saw the relics of the Queen of the First Queen, she remembered her debt to the Queen of the First Queen. When she was about to give birth, she brought back a beauty, and was entrusted by her death to imprison Prince Xiuwen into Xici Lane. After all her thoughts, she ordered Eunuch Jiang to go to Xici Lane and bring the deposed prince.

But the deposed prince doesn't want to see him again!

He is the emperor and the father, a minister and a son, how dare Xiuwen not come?!

When Eunuch Jiang saw the emperor's anger, he hurriedly said, "Don't calm down. Your Highness, now... the old slave can't help crying when he sees it."

"Xu Wen... what's wrong with him?" the emperor couldn't help asking.

"Oh." Eunuch Jiang sighed. "Your Highness, your heart is dead. He is no longer the Prince Xiuwen of the past. His spirit and courage are all turned into ashes four years ago. His current highness is just a useless man. He cannot see things and cannot hold a pen in his hands. Your Highness said that the emperor no longer has to be afraid of his unfair intentions, because he is already a useless man. He will die in Xici Lane in this life and will never come out again."

Prince Xiuwen, what kind of person is that?

Everyone in the world knows that he is outstanding and amazing in his youth. He is the perfect man whom countless noble girls dream of. He has a noble status and is above. He was originally the bright moon in the sky for people to look up to, but now he has fallen into the world and no longer has that light. The pearls are covered with dust, the white jade is flawed, and it is hard to collect the water.

The emperor was full of anger, like a deflated ball, and there was no sound anymore. It was his most proud son, his first child, and there would be more children in the future, and none of them would ask him to work hard like Xiuwen.

But this child is useless.

I don’t know how long it took, but the emperor closed his eyes and sighed softly: “You…I’ll make arrangements tomorrow, I’m going to leave the palace.”

"emperor?"

"I am old." Even the emperor had to admit that he was getting older and older, and his sons were growing up, but he was no longer as young and strong as he used to be. Now that there has been no newborn in the harem for several years, he knows his own body better than anyone else, and he has already felt powerless. "Some people's hearts have begun to be active."

"emperor--"

"No need to say anything." The emperor waved his hand. "Since Xiuwen refused to come to see me, I went to see him in person. Back then... I didn't pay attention to it, and I didn't even give him a chance to defend myself. Now he is discouraged by me, which is natural. It is because I have lost his heart. When this person's heart is cold, he will never be able to warm up again."

Eunuch Jiang looked at the emperor's still tall back. The emperor's hair had already grown on his temples, but there was no one around him who could speak his heart. After the Empress left, the emperor became even more lonely. Prince Xiuwen was deposed, and he became a lonely man. Now, no one can be trusted by the emperor except himself.

Is this the emperor?

He lives in the country, but he is only a single figure.

The next day, the emperor took off his dragon robe and did not alarm anyone. He only brought two guards and Eunuch Jiang out of the palace and headed straight to Xici Lane.

Xici Lane has always been a place where people from the royal family are forbidden. The emperor has never gone there, so he doesn't know how this place is so desolate and dilapidated. The outsiders don't know how the people inside live, but the imperial guards stayed here and would not give anyone a chance to come out. Those who entered died inside, and they didn't even have the qualifications to move into the imperial tomb. They were buried on the spot, with a piece of yellow soil and a white bone, and disappeared in this life and no one remembered it.

There are not many palace people here, most of them are thin, blue, white, and numb. Even when they see the emperor, they don’t look much afraid. People living here are walking corpses, so why are they afraid of not dying? Living here is harder than dying.

Under the guidance of Eunuch Jiang, the emperor arrived at the broken courtyard where the deposed prince lived. He was timid in his hometown, so he did not dare to step in.

After standing at the door for a long time, the emperor took a step and entered the yard. The green vegetable field was in the green vegetable field. A man in a coarse cloth dress with white hair was watering the vegetables with patches. He came up from the well and brought it to the vegetable field. He bent over and didn't care much about the soil on his hands, and did his own work quietly.

There is no trace of nobility, and there is no trace of popularity.

Hearing the footsteps, the man who was watering the vegetables turned around. From his back, he could see that the man was very thin, with a coarse linen on his body, and there was only a shelf left. But no matter how mentally prepared, when he saw the deposed prince's skinny face, the emperor could not withstand the blow, and took a few steps back, his eyes warmed up.

Four years have passed, and no matter how much anger he has, the crime of "rebellion" of the deposed prince was gradually washed away in the emperor's heart. During these four years, he would always wake up from his dream, wonder if he was too arbitrary at the beginning? If he gave Xiuwen a chance to explain, did he misunderstand him? What if someone framed him? He always remembered the goodness of the deposed prince. Xiuwen was smart since childhood, and he was faster than ordinary children. He was filial and sensible, and he was respectful and admirable to himself and the queen. The emperor had a problem with cervical pain, so Xiuwen tried every means to find a prescription for conditioning. During festivals and the emperor's birthday, Xiuwen always gave Xiuwen the most attentive and precious gifts.

When Xiuwen was abolished, would he resent his father and convicted him without even giving him any chance?

Before coming to Xici Lane, the emperor was most afraid of Xiuwen resenting himself. But now he realized that what was scary was not the resentment of the children, but the children saw him as if they saw a tree and a tree. "The Emperor."

His son, not called him father, but called him the emperor.

"Xiuwen--"

"I am just a sinner. Four years ago, the emperor deprived me of my name and title." The deposed prince stood up lightly. "Now I am a person without a name, and there is no one here called Xiuwen."

"You are hating your father--"

"This place is simple, the emperor is really the dragon emperor, so don't set foot on it." The deposed prince didn't care at all what the emperor said. He continued to water his own vegetables, and he struggled to carry a big bucket to the well. The emperor scolded the guards beside him: "What are you still doing in a stand-alone manner! Do you want the prince to do such rough work!"

The guard was stunned by the "prince" he said, and hurriedly went to grab the deposed prince's bucket. At this time, the curtain of the house was lifted, and a slender woman walked out. When she saw someone robbing the deposed prince's bucket, she immediately grabbed the broom at the door and rushed over, aimed at the group of people and beat them up. Even the emperor was accidentally beaten several times, and he grinned. "What are you doing! Let my husband go! Otherwise, don't blame me for beating you to death!"

My husband?????

Eunuch Jiang quietly attached to the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, I forgot to say that this woman is the wife of His Highness Cheng, who married His Highness Xiuwen, and was the concubine of Duke Jing's mansion."

What?

His Xiuwen married a illegitimate girl?!

Where did King Cheng get this courage?!

The women in this world should have been chosen by Xiuwen, but now he is married to such a woman who is extremely vulgar with a broom?! The emperor looked carefully and found that although the woman had a graceful figure, her face and body had done a lot of dust. She was very sloppy and crude, which made him feel even more heartbroken. He selected the daughter of Duke Jing, the number one beauty known as a talented woman, but now Xiuwen is surrounded by such a woman. What kind of decent is it?

His angry hands were trembling. After Linglong beat them up, she quickly threw the broom aside and asked the deposed prince about his well-being: "Are you okay, my husband? Are you injured?"

Although her face was dirty and she could not see her careful appearance, her voice was sweet and she called him her husband. During this period, the deposed prince, who was deliberately thin and deformed, her cheeks were red. Although she was acting, she really made him feel extremely happy to call him like this.

"Husband must not remember me. At that time, you were the crown prince of the Eastern Palace who was sought after by tens of thousands of people. How could I, a little concubine, get into your eyes?" Linglong touched the deposed prince's face. In the original owner's memory, this face was very handsome. Although it looked a little ugly now, Linglong thought that feeding more food would make her fatten. Only after she was fattened would she be able to speak. Otherwise, the food would be too ugly and would make her feel unhappy.

Just as it was fulfilling the original owner who had eaten, the deposed prince also made the deposed prince know that there was a person in this world who loved him like the bright moon in the sky, which was out of reach, and did not dare to touch, nor did he have the courage to approach. Her beautiful fingers whirled the deposed prince's skinny face. When she sighed softly, she also felt a little sad and sad: "Seven years ago, His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince celebrated her birthday on the Empress, wearing auspicious clouds and brocade clothes, and walked from afar. All the women couldn't help but look over, marveling at the world that there were such handsome and outstanding people. They were gentle and elegant, unattainable, and the green bamboos in the hall had lost some color."

"So many people love Your Highness, but only walk forward, and Your Highness can only see her in her eyes." Linglong was immersed in the original owner's memory. She liked these beautiful memories very much, which made her feel that human beings are not really useless. "That lady is naturally the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Jing's Mansion, the one who has a engagement with Your Highness. When Your Highness has an engagement with her, she can no longer see other women. Because in this world, she is the only one who can match you."

So the original owner at that time looked over quietly and carefully. She was originally beautiful in color, but she was inevitably inferior to her legitimate sister. In fact, there were countless beauties in the hall at that time, who could compete with her legitimate sister? Her legitimate sister walked over and the prince came over. She was really an unparalleled couple, which was enviable.

She humbly concealed her love and hid all her emotions under her heavy thoughts. She loved the prince who was so gorgeous that she was weak and incompetent, compared with him.

But, later on.

The Empress died of illness, and the prince was framed and banned. He had a blind eye and cut off his hand. He was trapped in the alley of Xici. The bright moon that he had once looked up fell to the world, so when the legitimate sister turned to marry the King Cheng who was in full swing and wanted to send herself in to the deposed prince, the original owner's heart was filled with joy.

She was not good at Jing Duke's Mansion, nor was she bad. No one valued her or cared about her. Her biological father, Duke Jing's wife and concubines, didn't even know her name when he saw her. He just randomly picked an unpopular concubine and sent it to Xici Alley, and never cared about her life or death again.

The original owner cherished and valued it and entered Xici Alley, but what can we do after that? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer the same as before. He is no longer the Prince who was so energetic that year, but has become like a walking corpse, his heart is ashes, numb and pessimistic.

But even so, the original owner wanted to stay.

She never hoped that the prince could see her. She just lived quietly in the corner, trying every means to give the deposed prince some food, wash clothes for him, and then racked her brains to make a piece of cloth for him to make new clothes for him. The beauty of the original owner gradually faded day after day, year after year, but the deposed prince did not last long. King Cheng ascended the throne and pardoned the world, and he would not let the deposed prince go out alive. Even if the prince became a deposed man, he still made him afraid. Therefore, the day he ascended the throne was the time when the deposed prince was poisoned to death.

The one who poisoned the deposed prince was the few inferior mung bean cakes that the original owner tried every means to buy from outside. She felt guilty and died after she died. After her death, her soul drifted and floated to the desolate sea. She was swallowed by Linglong and turned into her nutrients, which also made Linglong full of covetousness for the deposed prince.

This person's love is very clean and pure.

"It's just your highness." Linglong smiled at him. "When you were still the prince, you were naturally compatible with her. Now you are not the prince, so you are not worthy of her."

These words are both honest and cruel.

The deposed prince was the crown prince at the beginning, and the most beautiful woman worthy of him was naturally the best and most beautiful woman. In his heart, he naturally ranked himself with his fiancée and no longer looked at others. But later he became the deposed prince, but his fiancée was still the same fiancée, so he was about to replace him and become the crown prince, and eventually he would marry someone who should be matched with him.

"Why, do you think I want to say that you are not the prince, so you just match me?" Linglong raised her eyebrows and laughed at him, "Even the Nine Five Supremes in the world, the so-called True Dragon Emperor, is not worthy of me. So if you want to match me, you must become more handsome and powerful."

She patted the deposed prince's face again and sighed: "Do you know how ugly you are now? There is a word called eye-catching, I think you can feel it."

The deposed prince had never seen such a strange woman. She was choked by her and could not say a word. Linglong turned over from him, turned around and wrapped the heavy quilt and walked around for a few times, and sighed again, "My skin is hard to find even if I traveled all over the world. I don't care about how many people contributed their souls to my look back. Now I want to live this life with you in this ghost place." It's not that I have never suffered, but most of the suffering is not proportional to human happiness. In Linglong's memory, most of the suffering experienced is meaningless, but it just forces them to become stronger and continue to suffer.

So if you can avoid suffering, it is better not to suffer.

After she said that, she fell asleep, leaving the deposed prince alone to look at the dilapidated roof with his eyes open. He was not completely silenced, but Linglong said it reasonably. Everyone has a heart of love for beauty. When encountering something particularly beautiful, they can't help but pity. A woman with her appearance is like a priceless treasure. She should be carefully kept and put on the shelf. There is absolutely no reason why she calls beautiful jade dust.

But now he is just a useless person and it is difficult for him to take care of himself on a daily basis. How can he take care of this peerless beauty?

Of course, Linglong just said that she didn't think the deposed prince could figure it out overnight. Anyway, she had beaten those palace ladies. Although she had poor food, accommodation, clothing, and everything was bad, but she was much more comfortable than doing it herself. Once, she was hungry and her chest was pressed against her back, and she finally swallowed her soul, and she could only save her memory and go to a primitive jungle where she knew what was going on.

Brocade clothes and jade food? Shades and satin? Mountains and sea delicacies and delicacies? No, no, no, no, no, no.

With her weak body, she had to build a house to catch fish and hunt herself before she could have a meal. After several months of such hard life, she finally got rid of it. In short, for Linglong, a patient with late-stage lazy cancer, she would never want to try it for the second time! It was not the first time she returned to the human world, so she didn't want to be tired of herself.

She just wanted to wear clothes and reach out to eat. There were still handsome men to hold at night, and she would be happier if she could eat enough. But she had to work harder for such a small wish, and it was really difficult to live.

I really envy humans. They are small and short. They only have a few decades of eyes closed and stretched their legs. They have forgotten all kinds of happiness and sorrow in the world. Ordinary people are reincarnated, extraordinary people go to Naihe Bridge, and some people related to water will come to the deserted sea. In short, there are short-term goodness, eternal beauty and eternal wonders. Linglong enjoys her eternity. Apart from being unable to eat enough, she feels that her dragon life has no regrets or defects.

After sleeping until noon the next day, the sun finally came out without wind and snow. The palace servants surrendered to Linglong's power and prepared hot water and wall-fixing equipment early. However, although Xici Alley is called an alley, it is actually a huge abandoned house. The grass grows taller than a person, like a tomb of a living dead person. People living here are basically completely desperate. Linglong's appearance is simply a huge splash of water aroused by a pool of stagnant water, which makes everyone unable to rest, but they have to move.

Cooking without good rice and flour? It doesn’t matter, she can get it;

Don’t have exquisite fabric to make clothes? It doesn’t matter, she can also get it.

Linglong entered and exited the Xici Alley, which was guarded by the tight guard, as casually as going to the cottage. Every time she came back, she brought a lot of things, so there was no need to mention the food. She only had her own clothes, and she was comfortable and luxuriously lying on the broken bed and basking in the sun. She sighed. The feeling of holding her hands was very bad, although she was the one who was in the Chengwang Mansion. The precious brocade Yunxiao was kept by her sister who was secretly kept by her sister. She heard that King Cheng collected the treasures of the world and sent them to please her sister. As a result, because it was too precious, the sister was reluctant to use it, so Linglong used it to sew it casually as a shirt.

She is not afraid of hot and cold, and she can even show her arms and legs when it is snowing outside, as long as she is happy.

It’s hard to buy Linglong’s happiness.

The deposed prince was getting plump. He was too thin and he was so skinny that he was covered with bones. Now he was a little fat, but it was still not enough. Linglong wanted to get him some weight pills to eat. That face was far from what the original owner remembered, and she was the peerless beautiful man!
