Chapter 587: The First Person
"Your Highness, I will help you to rest!" Concubine Jin held Shen Yiyu's arm and seemed to act coquettishly.
"I haven't finished listening to the show yet, why are you going to rest?" Shen Yiyu filled the wine again and prepared to continue watching the show.
"Your Highness, I've drunk you so much." Concubine Jin snatched Shen Yiyu's wine glass.
"How do you know I don't have much now?" Shen Yiyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Concubine Jin.
"I know a little bit about your highness!" Concubine Jin had seen Shen Yiyu not drunk for thousands of cups at the banquet.
"I just annoyed that old guy and kept nagging. You didn't see his face flushed just now, haha~" Shen Yiyu was as happy as a naughty little devil at this moment.
"Your Highness is still a childish character~hehehe~" Concubine Jin couldn't help laughing. She had already seen that Shen Yiyu was pretending to be unreasonable.
"Child? Do you... look down on me?" Shen Yiyu pinched Jin Fei's chin and questioned.
"How dare I? I just think your highness is a little... cute." Concubine Jin approached Shen Yiyu's ear charmingly and whispered.
"Don't the Empress feel sorry for my father?" Shen Yiyu pulled Concubine Jin in front of him, his eyes curled up to see through the secret in his heart.
"I have been staying alone in the empty room for decades. I am tired... and I am tired. What else can I be afraid of?" Jin Fei frowned and looked sad.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Shen Yiyu became serious and looked a little heroic.
"I? What else can I do if a weak woman?" Jin Fei's tears started to roll in her eyes, feeling pitiful.
"Why didn't you approach me sooner or later, but you kept showing kindness to me recently? You also wanted to borrow my mother's affairs to make me curious!" Shen Yiyu's drunkenness was just pretending to be for Eunuch Su to see. With just this little wine, he would be fine if he drank a few more jars.
"Concubine Yi is really my old acquaintance." In order to make Shen Yiyu trust him, Concubine Jin quickly raised her hand and sweared.
"Does the Empress want to swear with the peace and stability of Xu'er?" Shen Yiyu was full of doubts.
"Your Highness, have you seen Wu'er?" Jin Fei asked back.
"I found some clues and am still investigating them." Shen Yiyu thought about it. He wanted to find his fifth brother quickly so that his father's desire to lose his son in his later years can be comforted.
"Is Wu'er safe? Don't worry about food and drink?" Jin Fei asked.
"I have told my elder brother to look for it, don't worry!" Shen Yiyu had to deal with too many things at the moment and could not take time to find his fifth brother himself.
"Oh, it turns out that what the prince said is true." Jin Fei murmured to herself, she had a little doubt about Shen Yihuan's words.
"What did he say?" Shen Yiyu asked.
"He said that Your Highness is kind-hearted and attaches great importance to brotherhood." Concubine Jin returned to her charming smile. She smiled very charmingly, but the late emperor never gave her a chance to smile like a flower.
"My elder brother is deeply in love with me, and we are not only connected by blood." Shen Yiyu trusted Shen Yihuan from the bottom of his heart.
"Did Your Highness know that Concubine Yi has taken care of Prince Huanyi? That's why he is so close to him?" Concubine Jin has never taken the initiative to mention Concubine Yi to anyone for so many years.
"Well... do you know this too?" Shen Yiyu narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person's appearance very much like his father.
"This happened before the previous emperor ascended the throne, and I only heard of it." Concubine Jin seemed to be trying hard to recall the past, avoiding similar eyes.
"Then tell me, what have you heard of?" Shen Yiyu stopped all the performers on the stage. He wanted to listen quietly to Concubine Jin telling the past.
"Your father gave Prince Huanyi, who was still a baby, to Concubine Yi for a long time. Concubine Yi was just a princess at that time." Concubine Jin tried hard to recall every bit of the past, "Your Highness didn't know anything about Concubine Yi?"
"No one has ever told me that you are the first person." Shen Yiyu knew very little about his mother's past.
"Then I'm quite honored to say that." Concubine Jin was very coquettish, "I thought Concubine Xuan would not want to mention it, but at least the late emperor would tell His Highness about Concubine Yi's goodness."
"You have heard from Mother Xuan about my mother?" Shen Yiyu confirmed again. Not only did the people in Yongyan Palace refuse to say anything about Concubine Yi, but no one in Tianfu City dared to mention Concubine Yi in front of him.
"Empress Yi is not only an old acquaintance of this palace. If I hadn't met this noble person, I guess there wouldn't be a concubine in the harem." Celebrity shook her head and sighed.
"My mother was just a noble person at that time?" Shen Yiyu always called Concubine Xuan as his mother when he was a child. It was not until he learned that his biological mother was Concubine Yi that he changed his words to Concubine Xuan.
"No, Concubine Yi was the quasi-eminine known to everyone at that time, but she had never waited for the title of the late emperor." Concubine Jin said sadly. If Concubine Yi was successfully awarded the title of the queen, perhaps she is still a small palace maid now. Even if she is deeply loved by the master, she is still a slave.
"Didn't you wait for the enthronement of Wenzong or Wuzong?" Shen Yiyu was a little confused for a moment. Because there were too many ancestors belonging to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he could only distinguish them by the emperor's temple name. Besides, his father could also confer his mother's empress when he held the throne ceremony.
"It was your father's enthronement. At that time, Emperor Wenzong had abdicated." Concubine Jin had never seen the reign of Emperor Wen, Shen Yikun, but she was very clear about the clan relationship of the royal family and specially remembered the temple name of each of the previous emperors.
"After Emperor Wen's abdication, did he also occasionally participate in politics? Why are you sure that it was not him who obstructed my mother's title of queen?" Shen Yiyu questioned that there were many versions of the story about his father's succession. Some said that he was usurping the throne, some said that he was coercive of Emperor Wen's abdication, and some said that he had long been the intention of killing his father, but he never dared to verify with his father's emperor for the specific reason.
"Then... I don't know about it anymore. Anyway, Concubine Yi is obviously the best candidate, but she has never been named the queen!" Concubine Jin nodded confidently.
"Is it related to my mother Xuan who always wants to be the queen?" Shen Yiyu never dared to think about this.
"If you want to say that you have a relationship, you can have some relationship. After all, it involves competition from their respective clans. But I think the imperial concubine recognizes Concubine Yi from the bottom of her heart, and the two sisters get along very well." Concubine Jin said in a look of her expression.
"Then why did my mother Xuan never let me know about my mother?" Shen Yiyu clenched his hands tightly, and even his fingernails were tucked into his flesh without any pain.
"It is your father who prohibits talking about things related to Concubine Yi, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Xuan." Concubine Jin still spoke to Concubine Xuan.
"Why don't you let the conversation be? Are you afraid of being sad?" Shen Yiyu's biggest wish is to clarify the grievances of the previous generation.
"Maybe there is still guilt, after all, Concubine Yi could have been safe and sound." Concubine Jin said with a long meaning.
