"Wait a minute!" Hei Lu'er stopped Ah Piao, "First tell me what your name is and what kind of errand work you have with your highness."
"The villain's name is Ziyi. He is His Highness's personal servant. Apart from those gentlemen, he is one of the people His Highness trusts most."
"Ziyi..." Hei Lu'er looked at Ah Piao and then at Wu Shu Dan, "Aren't you from Jin? Are you from Xia?"
"Your Majesty, I know that I have been in the palace and with His Highness since I can remember. I have never seen my biological father and mother. What kind of people are they? Are they Jin people or Xia people? Where have they gone? The villain doesn’t know what the place is like now.”
"Have you never asked about your parents?"
"I have asked, but to no avail." Ziyi thought for a moment and shook his head towards Hei Lu'er, "I remember that when I was very young, about six or seven years old, I once asked His Highness about this matter. Your Highness He said that he was not very sure where the little man came from. His Highness’s wet nurse picked him up outside the corner gate of the backyard of the palace. I heard that when the wet nurse picked up the little man, he was only more than three months old. He was put in a bamboo basket and placed at the corner door of the palace. There was nothing in the bamboo basket that could prove the origin of the villain. It was winter and the weather was freezing. The wet nurse could not bear to leave such a small child behind. There, I asked for the consent of the old prince and His Highness, and brought the villain back. Therefore, the villain could be regarded as growing up by His Highness's side. His Highness also gave the villain the name Ziyi. .”
"So that's how it is." Hei Lu'er nodded, "You are also lucky, because you are the one whom His Highness watched you grow up with, and he knows that besides him, you cannot have a second master, and it is impossible for you to have a second master besides him. You have second thoughts, so, like this..." He raised his chin towards Yi Qianzhang, "You are responsible for handling such matters, right?"
"No, only this Mr. Yi is handled by a villain. Mr. Yi is still very special to His Highness."
"Special?" Ah Piao raised an eyebrow and took the stove handed over by Wu Shu Dan, "Why is it special?"
"His Highness loves and cherishes talents very much. When Mr. Yi was in high school, His Highness had already taken a fancy to him and wanted to recruit him under his banner. Therefore, he frequently sent invitations to Mr. Yi and invited him in various ways. Mr. Yi has come to the palace to discuss it in detail." Ziyi looked at the three people standing in front of him, "I just said that His Highness invited Mr. Yi three times, which is actually inaccurate. There were more than ten posts inviting him to the palace for a banquet. This Mr. Yi refused every time. Even so, His Highness was not annoyed or angry. He even advised the little people not to care. Most young talents are like this. If they are like those gentlemen, they will come to you as soon as they are called. , and then it goes away, then he is no longer the young talent he likes."
"Isn't this a very generous person?" Wu Shudan looked at Ziyi with great interest, "What happened next that made His Highness angry? Did he go to the door to invite him in person, but was rejected?"
"That's not true." Ziyi shook his head gently, "No matter how much His Highness cherishes his talents, he will never go to this extent. Besides, Mr. Yi is not the only one he likes. If he goes to Mr. Yi's door, and Isn’t it bad to ignore other people?”
"I didn't expect His Highness Aoki to be quite particular about this."
"With all due respect, I think some adults are biased against our Highness. Our Highness is indeed not very big-minded. When he was young, he did a lot of things that he shouldn't have done because of his small-mindedness, but that was also ignorant. Our Highness always thinks of the things we did when we were young, and regrets them very much. Just like what I just mentioned about the little companion, it is actually a knot in the heart of our Highness. Every year on the birthday and death anniversary of this little companion, Our Highnesses must pray for him to atone for the sins he committed when he was young and frivolous."
"But no matter how much you atone for your sins, the child is gone."
"But Sir, our Highnesses know that we always pay tribute to him at this time, but his parents..." Ziyi showed a sneer, "They have forgotten this child a long time ago."
"Oh?" Ah Piao looked at Hei Lu'er, then at Wu Shu Dan, and saw the same confusion on their faces, "Why do you say that?"
"Because every year, our Highness would send gifts and money. No matter what we gave, the family would accept it all. Then one year, our Highness went to deliver it in person. He came from outside the city and happened to be on the way. So he went by himself. The couple thanked them profusely and accepted the gift from His Highness, and then..." He sighed, "After the door was closed, before we could leave, we heard a quarrel inside."
"What's the noise about?"
"They want to divide all the gifts and money sent by His Highness, and then go back to their respective homes and live their own lives." Ziyi shrugged helplessly, "Until this time, we didn't know that they had already reconciled. , and we have been separated for many years, and every year we wait for this time to wait in that courtyard, share the gifts and money sent by His Highness, and then leave separately."
"It's unbelievable that this is the case." Ah Piao sighed, "Let's get back to the topic, why did His Highness Qingmu bother Yi Qianzhang? If it wasn't because Yi Qianzhang rejected him."
"When this matter is mentioned, all of you adults should be able to understand the mood of our Highnesses at that time. It is estimated that the reaction is the same as that of our Highnesses."
"Then just tell me and listen."
"yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Wu Shudan interrupted Ziyi, "How can you guarantee that what you are going to say next is true and not a lie to us?"
"You can swear, if you tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning!"
"No!" Wu Shudan shook his head gently, "Not cruel enough."
"In this way, if you tell a lie, you will be killed immediately." Hei Lu'er grinned at Zi Yiyi, "How about it? Do you dare?"
"Dare!" Ziyi stretched out two fingers and pointed to the sky, "If the villain tells a lie, he will die immediately."
"Okay, tell me!"
"Yes! Because he failed to recruit Mr. Yi many times, His Highness was about to give up, but he overheard Mr. Yi talking nonsense." Ziyi took a deep breath, "The villain just said that although our Highness is small-minded, It’s not like he’s going to shout and kill because the other party rejects him, and he has to torment the person to death to relieve his anger. To be honest, after so many years, there are so many people who have objections to our Highness, and it’s impossible for His Highness to take revenge on them all. , right? Let’s not talk about others, let’s just talk about the three of you. In all these years, when has our Highness ever had a good face? Our Highness didn’t treat the three of you well, right? But this Mr. Yi is not like this. , when we were having dinner at Zuixianju, we overheard the sound of laughter coming from the box next door, and heard Mr. Yi say that His Highness had fallen in love with him, which is why he recruited him so many times. But he He doesn’t like His Highness at all and feels that the royal family members are completely ignorant, so he doesn’t want to serve these brainless idiots.”
