Chapter 237: Survival in the Wild (Part II)

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yan asked a little strangely, Yelusi took advantage of Su Shi's sleep before he spoke, and what he said was not Zhang Renxian's business, which made him feel a little curious. {3.

I saw Yelusi stand up at this time, walked to Zhao Yan and sat down and said: "Actually, this matter is just a gesture for the county king, that is, when I return to Shangjing, I want to ask the county king to help me paint a portrait!" ”

"That's it...... That's it? Zhao Yan was even more surprised when he heard this, if he only painted a portrait, Yelusi didn't seem to need to put it up so solemnly, and deliberately waited until Su Shi fell asleep before saying?

Seeing Zhao Yan's surprised look, Yelusi said a little embarrassed: "Actually, I found the county king when I was hunting before, and then waited at the place where you lived, in order to use Zhang Renxian's words before his death as a condition to ask the county king to help me draw a portrait, to be precise, for my mother." ”

"Your mother?" Zhao Yan finally understood when he heard this, it turned out that Yelusi had found himself twice, and he actually wanted to exchange those paintings of Zhang Renxian before his death for one of his paintings, but this is a bit of a fuss, right?

I saw that at this time, Yelusi sighed lightly, and his face also showed a bit of longing, and after a while, he spoke: "Although the Great Song Dynasty is different from the Liao Kingdom, since the prince of the county is the prince, he must also know the filth in the palace, since I was sensible, all I saw was the intrigue in the palace, and the man I called my father and emperor could not see anyone all the year round, and only from my mother could I feel the rare family affection in the palace, but unfortunately my mother was from a humble background and was often bullied by other concubines. But at all times, my mother would protect me tightly behind me, and no one would want to hurt me. ”

When he said this, Yelusi's eyes were also overflowing with tears, and after sobbing a few times, he continued to speak: "It's a pity that my mother has been weak and sickly since she gave birth to me, and she died when I was nine years old, and since then, there is no one in the palace who can protect me, every time I am bullied. I could only hide myself under the covers and cry secretly. At that time, I wanted my mother to be by my side, even if it was a portrait, so that I could tell her my grievances, and I had asked the painters in the court to paint my mother's portrait. But I was very dissatisfied. Later, I heard that my father had invited the prince of the county to come and paint a portrait of him. I wanted to have the prince paint a portrait of my mother, but when I told my father about it, he didn't agree. Because in his opinion, my mother's identity is not worthy of the county king's portrait of her. ”

"So when you heard about the incident that Zhang Renxian told you before he died, you thought of using this incident in exchange for my portrait of your mother." Zhao Yan sighed at this time and continued.

"Yes, Zhang Ren sued me before he died, he was probably plotted by the Great Song Dynasty, but these are his speculations without evidence, and I'm afraid not many people believe it, in this case, it is better for me to use it to make an exchange with the county king, as long as the county king helps my mother paint a portrait, I will never tell the second person those words, but now that I think about it, what I thought before was a little too simple." Jeruth lowered his head at this time and said while weeping.

"Your idea is indeed a bit naΓ―ve, if you really used Zhang Renxian's words to make a deal with me before, I'm afraid I will never agree, because if I agree, it shows that our Great Song is empty-hearted, and it also indirectly proves that Zhang Renxian was indeed plotted by our Great Song." Zhao Yan said angrily at this time, but then he saw Yelusi's pitiful appearance, and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and then continued, "But even if we are fated, we can share weal and bene, if we can return to Shangjing safely in the future, I can help you draw a portrait of your mother, but I haven't seen your mother, so it may be a little difficult to draw." ”

Hearing that Zhao Yan finally agreed to his request, Yelusi also raised his head in surprise, and rushed to say without even wiping away his tears: "I look seven or eight points similar to my mother, and I also clearly remember my mother's appearance, when the time comes, you just need to draw according to my appearance, and then make some small modifications." ”

"Then there will be no problem, I will definitely help you draw a satisfactory portrait then!" Zhao Yan nodded immediately when he heard this.

"Thank you...... Thank you! Yelusi couldn't help herself with excitement at this time, tears poured out again, and even in the end, she couldn't cry, which made Zhao Yan a little helpless, in case Su Shi woke up at this time, I am afraid that he would think that he was bullying the other party.

"Ahem~, in fact, what happened to you, princess, is nothing, at least you have been with your biological mother since you were a child, but I am different, I didn't even know who my biological mother was since I was a child, and it wasn't until last winter that I accidentally learned the news of my mother." Zhao Yan said at this time, if you want to comfort someone, the best way is to find someone who is worse than the other party, such as himself.

This trick really worked, Yelusi immediately stopped crying when he heard Zhao Yan's words, and the tears on his face didn't have time to wipe away, so he asked curiously, "Oh?" Isn't the mother of the county king the Empress Gao of the Great Song Dynasty, how could she not know her mother? ”

"That's just on the surface, in fact, among our brothers and sisters, only the eldest brother and the second brother are the sons of the queen, and the others are all born to the concubines in the palace, but Queen Gao is domineering, as early as when the father did not ascend the throne, the family law has been formulated, so that all the sons of the father and the emperor are included in the name of the queen, but this kind of thing can only be deceived for a while, for example, I appeared last time, the birthday interval between me and the second brother was less than ten months, obviously not born by a mother, but it is a pity that such an obvious thing, I only appeared last year." Zhao Yan sighed at this time and said, this kind of thing is not a secret, as long as there is a heart, it can be revealed, so Zhao Yan did not keep it secret from Yelusi.

"That'...... What about your mother, was she killed by Queen Gao? Hearing this, Jeruth was also very sympathetic, and asked with concern at the moment.

"It's not so strict, although Queen Gao is a little domineering, but it's not enough to kill people, my mother still lives well in the palace, and she was named Guiyi, because in addition to Queen Gao, there is no concubine in the palace, so my mother's status in the palace is only below Queen Gao, last time on my mother's birthday, I also asked my two sisters to help me secretly send a special birthday gift, which can be regarded as a little filial piety." Zhao Yan said with a smile, until now he and Zhang Guiyi have not met a few times, and he is not the real Zhao Yan, so Zhao Yan has no special feelings for Zhang Guiyi, just a filial piety on behalf of the original Zhao Yan.

"I see, but although your mother and son can't recognize each other, it's better than me and my mother." Yeluth sighed again when she heard this, and when she thought of her mother's death, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

Seeing Yelu Si's crying appearance, Zhao Yan was also helpless, so he had to change the topic again: "Do you want to know what kind of birthday gift I gave my mother?" ”

"What gift?" Jerry was really fooled, and immediately asked curiously.

"Speaking of this gift, I felt a little hungry again, so I made a birthday cake with my own hands that day and asked my two sisters to help deliver it to the palace." Zhao Yan thought of the birthday cake, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, although he didn't like to eat cake very much, but now he was tired and hungry, if he could have a cake, it would definitely be a great enjoyment.

"Cake? Is it a pastry? Yelusi asked a little strangely, she couldn't figure out why Zhao Yan's identity would give such a gift, and it was made by Zhao Yan himself, but Zhao Yan is a man, and he is a prince, can he really make pastries?

"Yes, cake is also a pastry, but its origin is not ordinary, but a pastry specially prepared for birthdays......"

Zhao Yan said that he explained the meaning of the birthday cake, and then explained the process of making the birthday cake in detail, but Yelusi finally accompanied him to drool, the little wild fruit he ate today was not hungry at all, and when it came to eating, he immediately felt "cooing" in his stomach.

"I won't talk to you, I'm going to sleep, otherwise I'll have to die of hunger, I used to hate eating mutton the most, but now if there is a piece of mutton, I will definitely eat it clean!" After saying this, Jeruth ran back to the fire and lay down to sleep, as long as he fell asleep, he would not feel hungry.

Zhao Yan also felt uncomfortable with hunger in his stomach at this time, but compared to hunger, what made him more uncomfortable was thirst, he didn't drink a drop of water for more than a day, and spent two nights by the fire, which made him feel that the water in his body was lost quickly, and his mouth was so dry at this time, he really felt like he was going to smoke in his throat and eyes.

When it was almost midnight, Zhao Yan woke up Su Shi, and then he was on the second shift, and he was lying on the side of the fire and fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dark, Su Shi was lying next to him snoring, and Yelusi was gone, which made Zhao Yan startled, and hurriedly jumped up to observe around.

But soon Zhao Yan saw Yelusi picking wild fruits not far away, and when he looked at him, he immediately ran back with a smile and said, "You woke up, I went around to pick some wild fruits just now, although there are not many, but it is better than nothing." ”

Yelusi said, handing the wild fruits he had just picked to Zhao Yan, they were all green fruits, and the taste was very sour, but Zhao Yan couldn't care about these anymore, so he took a few and stuffed them into his mouth, and as a result, his tears were about to come out. Yelusi saw Zhao Yan's wolf appearance, but he smiled very happily, and Zhao Yan rolled his eyes at her.

At that moment, Zhao Yan woke up Su Shi again, and the three of them casually ate a few green fruits that were difficult to swallow, and then continued to hurry, originally they were heading southwest, in addition to wanting to avoid the Jurchens and Xi people, they also walked down the mountain, but when they finally came to the foot of the mountain, what they saw was a scene that made them a little desperate.
