My name is Duanmu Yu Ling, and I'm the son of the Great Zhou Country's Tian Zi. I don't even know how I got the title of Tian Zi.
royal father doesn't love me, and even though mother is a noble concubine, she still can't win over royal father's love for me. Not long after I was born, royal father threw me over to grandfather to raise.
At first, I didn't hate anyone because my grandfather was very good to me. Apart from the love and care of my royal father, my grandfather also had good things that he could place in front of me for me to choose from.
In those days, apart from the occasional scolding as a wild child, everything else went well. It could be said that those were the happiest and most unforgettable days of my life.
But then, my beloved grandfather passed away and I was taken back to the palace. When I heard that my royal father wanted to take me back, I thought that even if my royal father wasn't as fond of me as my grandfather was, at least he still loved me. Moreover, there was still my mother in the palace.
Even though royal father took me back, he didn't do anything to me. Even if I met other princes who bullied me, he never stopped bullying them, he only looked at me with guilt in his eyes from afar.
I didn't understand that even though royal father clearly felt guilty towards me, he still ignored me that much.
Afterwards, I ran in front of mufei and asked her why her royal father didn't like me. At the time, she had sighed and quietly bandaged his wound, but she had not answered his question.
It was also during that time that I first had feelings for a girl. That girl was very beautiful and gentle, but also very weak. She would come and bandage my wounds after I had been bullied, play the piano to dispel the haze in my heart, and sometimes lie down with her frail body in front of my bullies. I was grateful to her, and little by little I seemed to have reached the point where I had to.
I ran up to my father and begged him to give me the girl, but my father, who had always been indifferent to me, objected strongly. The reason was that I was a prince of the Great Zhou, and the daughter of a fifth-rank official was not worthy of me." For such a reason, I am extremely disdainful. I am only a royal clan that has only the name of a prince but no actual prince.
In the end, there was no difference between me and that woman. I was very sad, but the imperial power was above all else, so I couldn't resist. However, after this, I remembered royal father's throne. Only by ascending that throne would I no longer be bullied or humiliated by others.
Of course, I also thought of snatching that girl back after ascending to the throne, but when he actually ascended to that throne, that thought faded away, and some things happened afterwards, letting me know that the person this woman liked wasn't him, but my seventh brother, Duanmu Yuming. The reason she was so nice to me back then was only because she was ordered to do so by Duanmu Yuming.
I am not sorry to know this, I already have another love, and I did not think that I would fall in love with my dignified and virtuous queen. In my heart, the empress is my first wife, and that will never change, not even for the woman I once loved. At that time, I thought I wouldn't have given anything else except the position of queen.
But slowly, I discovered that the queen was not as dignified and virtuous as she seemed. She would also extend her claws towards him, and she would not treat him as she used to regard him as a heaven, but instead she would focus on me wholeheartedly.
At one point, I thought that her change was a trick to subdue, a trick I had already witnessed before when there were many women in the harem, but it was rare for the queen to be different from what he remembered, and he played along with her for a few days.
I really fell in love with her during an assassination attempt. That assassination almost cost me my life, but I am still grateful to the king for allowing me to find the love I've had all my life.
There weren't many days of love between her and me, only half a year in total. But then I thought about it and realized that maybe those days at the bottom of the abyss were just a few days of love. The rest of the time, she was just playing with me like a snake.
But I didn't care about her attitude. As long as she was by my side, everything was fine. It's just that my little wish was ruthlessly rejected by the heavens for my mistakes.
The day she died, I sat with her all day long. I couldn't believe that she was already dead, even though those people had said that she and her son were safe.
The servants at my side tried to persuade me countless times, but I was able to kick them out. The bunch of presumptuous women from the harem shamelessly ran over to me and cried, but their makeup were still there. They must have thought that if she went, they would have a chance to emerge from the throne.
I wanted to kick them out, but when I looked up and saw their faces, my anger flared up and brought them down several levels.
I held the empress's body for a whole night, and no matter how much my mother disagreed, it still reached her ears.
The empress did not persuade him to bury the empress in peace like other people. She just hugged him like she did when he was young, and told him about her and her father.
The empress didn't want to marry into this palace from the start because her father fell in love with her at first sight. She forcefully broke up the marriage between her mother and her cousin, forcing her to become a good concubine.
At the beginning, royal father truly treated his mother very well, and wished that he could pass all the treasures in the world to her. However, the emperor's love came and went quickly, just because a few people instigated him, he suspected that my mother and her cousin were innocent, and even suspected that I was his biological son.
From then on, royal father will no longer have any good intentions towards me, it was also royal mother's intention to send me out of the palace, royal father has already suspected me, and is staying in the palace, I wonder how royal father will treat me?
When I was brought back to the palace, my royal father knew that he had misunderstood my mother when he saw that I looked very similar to her. It was just that he and his mother had been separated for a long time, and my mother had no wish to see him again. royal father is also a person who loves face, so he doesn't come to Mother's place to run into trouble, he only sent people to protect us, mother and son's, in secret, and didn't care about anything else.
Only then did I understand why royal father passed the throne down to me. He felt guilty towards me, and I was so much more outstanding than the other princes.
I just listened to all this quietly, and sat there for another two days, and the Queen Mother also sat there with him, without eating or drinking. In the end, the Queen Mother even brought the children of me and the Queen to accompany us, and in the end, I couldn't bear for the Queen Mother and Xiao Budian to accompany me like this. I left a kiss on the Queen's forehead before fainting.
