It happened that Duke Yun Guo returned to the palace after handling state affairs. Seeing Madam Yun Guo's face full of anger, he couldn't help but ask: "What is madam worried about?"
Mrs. Yun Guo said angrily: "I'm not angry because of your capable sister!" Then she told the story of how the two of them scolded Duke Yun at the gate of the palace in front of thousands of people.
Yun Guogong said: "Sister is right. At that time, my mother died early, my father was busy with state affairs all day long, and I relied on my sister to take care of me..." As he said this, the scene of the two siblings getting along in those days reappeared in front of his eyes. ...Then he added: "Didn't you invite the two of them into the palace?"
Mrs. Yun Guo said: "Haven't we suffered enough from those two mothers?"
Duke Yun had already seen some clues from her angry expression, so he said: "Did you drive them away? You!" Then he shouted: "Come on, hurry up and chase Princess Yunji and her mother back." !”
The attendants took the order and immediately led the people to chase them out of the city. Where could there be traces of Yun Ji and Dou Bobi, mother and son? The attendant had to come back quickly to resume his life.
Hearing that the mother and son had disappeared, Duke Yun felt very uneasy and said to Mrs. Yun: "The mother and son came here when they were in trouble. You actually drove them away without even caring about your flesh and blood. Others will How do you treat me? You, you, aren't you trapping me in injustice?"
After Yun Jiang was brought back to Yun Palace, Mrs. Yun Guo locked her in the room and sent someone to guard her day and night, fearing that she would escape. A loving couple was torn apart alive. Yun Jiang's heart was broken and she was in pain. She couldn't understand why her mother, who used to be so protective of her and so obedient, suddenly seemed to have changed into a domineering, cruel and ruthless person. She obviously didn't like the young master Sui Guo, so they forced her to marry him. And she loved her cousin Doubi deeply, but they had to break them up. Why on earth was this? Could it be that the children of the emperor's family were not born as human beings but as objects, dolls, and accessories between countries, and could be given to whomever they wanted?
Yun Jiang stopped eating. She wanted to die to maintain her loyalty to love, and used a hunger strike to resist the outdated and arbitrary marriage tyranny.
Mrs. Yun Guo was secretly worried when she saw her daughter crying all day long and refusing to eat. She came to Yun Jiang and persuaded her earnestly: "My daughter, it is a bit unkind for the mother to do this. But have you ever thought about it, Dou Bobi came here because he couldn't stay in Chu State any longer. He is just a mediocre person." Common people, if your father-in-law hadn't taken them in and supported them out of consideration for family ties, it would have been difficult for them to live a good life. With such a person, could you have a good life? If you marry the prince of the country, you will be the prince's concubine, and you will have endless silk scarves to wear. Luo silk and satin, endless delicacies from the mountains and seas, and endless glory and wealth. In the future, you will be the Duke and Marquis when you follow the young master, and you will be the Duke’s wife. What is not better than marrying Dou Bo? If your father and mother do this, It's all for your own good..."
Yun Jiang said: "Have you finished speaking? Please go out when you have finished speaking. I don't want to hear it, not even a word..." She covered her ears and stopped talking to her mother. Mrs. Yun Guo was so angry that she stamped her feet, maybe she was accusing, scolding, lecturing or even scolding, but Yun Jiang didn't hear a word.
In the evening, when the maid serving her brought the meal in, Yun Jiang said in a stern voice: "Take it away, take it away quickly!"
Seeing Yun Jiang's haggard appearance, the palace maid couldn't bear it and hurriedly advised her: "Princess, don't blame the slave for talking too much. Seeing the princess become thinner and haggard day by day, the slave will feel heartbroken when she sees the princess. People are like iron rice and steel. You'd better eat something. Even if you're fighting against the young master, you can't torture yourself like this. I think that as long as people live, there will always be hope..." After that, she wiped her tears and left. The palace maid didn't say much, but it caused ripples in Yun Jiang's heart. Yes, as long as people live, there will always be hope. How could I die for Brother Bobbie? The palace maid was so right, I must live, and live well... Thinking of this, Yun Jiang stopped being angry and picked up the food on the table to eat. As she ate, she pondered the words of the palace maid, thinking that if the palace maid could say such words, she might have had an unusual experience... Seeing that her daughter was finally willing to eat, Mrs. Yun Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
One day, when the palace maid delivered food again, Yun Jiang couldn't help but ask: "What is your name? How did you get to the palace?"
When the palace maid asked, her eyes turned red. It turns out that her name is Yujie, and she comes from Danyang in the Chu State. Her parents were slaves in the prince's house. A few years ago, she fell in love with a Dou slave in her house, and Dou Nu also loved her deeply. However, slaves had no control over their marriages. Later, Prince Chu used her as a bet when he was gambling with others, but he lost to the other party. That family was a businessman who went to Yun State to do business and brought her over. Since the business was losing money and he had no money to return to Chu State, he sold her to a local businessman. The palace wanted to select a businessman's daughter, so the businessman asked her to replace his daughter and become a palace maid... In the blink of an eye, a few years passed, and she didn't know where her beloved was now. Sometimes she also thought about death. . Later she finally figured it out. Although the day of reunion is far away, there is always hope as long as you are alive... After listening to Yujie's story, Yun Jiang couldn't help but said: "'As long as you are alive, there is always hope.' How good it is to say it! How can you say it without personal experience? You say such a thing? Miss Yujie, your words have made me give up the idea of fighting with death. Since there is hope in life, let us live well together and wait together for the day when we can reunite with the one we love!"
A few months passed in the blink of an eye. What Mrs. Yun Guo didn't expect was that her daughter was pregnant. Mrs. Yun Guo was so angry that she beat her daughter with all her family skills. While beating her, she cursed: "You shameless thing, I will be so angry to death." No! Tell me, where did the child come from?"
Yun Jiang said: "It belongs to Brother Bobi, what do you think?"
Mrs. Yun Guo said: "A girl who is not yet married is actually pregnant with a child, and she is so brazen about it. It really embarrasses my concubine's family. You are so bold that you dare to have an affair behind your parents' back. I will beat you to death, you bitch." I'll beat you to death, you bitch!" The sticks hit Yun Jiang like raindrops.
The palace maid Yujie couldn't stand it any longer. She hurriedly grabbed the stick in Mrs. Yun's hand, knelt on the ground and begged: "Mrs. Jun, the princess is so pitiful. The matter has come to this point. No matter what you do, it will not help. You can Spare her this time..."
Mrs. Yun Guo was probably tired of the beating, so she angrily scolded Yun Jiang again, locked him in the back room, and guarded him even tighter. Yun Jiang is like a little bird imprisoned in a cage. He doesn't know if there will ever be a day when he will meet his brother Bobi again... Yun Jiang is imprisoned in a room, and he can only face the high wall and red candle in secret all day long. shed tears.
The summer wind roars in with thunderstorms from the south. This is the spark when the essence of heaven and earth collide, constantly blending, gestating, and rising in the wonderful interweaving. In the end, it finally turns into a shocking thunderstorm and explodes in the sky. After a long drought, the rain fell from the sky, and the cracked earth finally felt the comfort brought by the moisture after the rain. This is an extraordinary fifth day of May in the lunar calendar during the Spring and Autumn Period. This morning, a tenacious life was born in the ancient city of Yundu. The loud cries dispersed the dark clouds in the sky, causing cranes to dance and hundreds of birds to sing in unison. Even Chao Dun, who had just risen, smiled with joy. After the rain, the sky cleared, and a brilliant rainbow streaked across the sky, making the southeastern mountains and rivers even more beautiful. The birth of a new life makes the young mother sweat and exhausted. Looking at her newborn son, the mother's face showed a smile of contentment and happiness. This child later became Dou Ziwen, the famous "Qiang Chu Ling Yin" of Chu State. Legend has it that when he was born, rain fell from the sky, indicating that he would bring blessings to the dry land. The rainbow appearing in the sky indicated that he would bring hope for the future Chu State to compete with the Zhou Dynasty and dominate one side... When Yujie brought her son to Princess Yunjiang, Yunjiang saw that her son had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tiger-like head. His father Doubi looks so much like him that he finally gets some comfort in his heart.
At this moment, lying on a chair in the harem hall was a middle-aged woman with gorgeous clothes. She was slightly slender and had an indifferent expression. She was Mrs. Yun Guo, the ruler of the harem. Several maids were beating her legs and rubbing her shoulders. . At this moment, a palace maid ran in with a happy face and happily reported: "Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam, the princess has given birth to a white and fat little boy. You will become a grandma..."
