The emperor's eyes were gloomy in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and his tone was as cold as ice, making people shudder. He slowly spit out two words: "Poisonous woman!"
Xi Yue gasped for breath. It swayed like an old bellows, huffing and trembling. She laughed loudly and said: "The emperor is right. The concubine is naturally a poisonous woman, and the queen is the most poisonous woman among poisonous women. But Your Majesty, you married two of us poisonous women, how can you be any better? Your Majesty You and the queen are naturally a match made in heaven, and they couldn't be more perfect, don't you think?"
"The Legend of Ruyi in the Harem"
Concubine Hui's smile faded. He said coldly: "Don't think that with a promise, your favor will last forever. With your pipa, the emperor will listen to it like a sparrow chirping when he listens to a joke. He really thinks that he has become a phoenix. "Mei promised not to be humble or arrogant, but with a faint smile, she looked at the sky leisurely and said: "I know that my pipa is not as good as the imperial concubine, and my appearance is not as good as the imperial concubine, but have you ever thought about it? Why does the emperor not listen to the empress's pipa skills, but only likes the concubine's inferior skills?"
Concubine Hui's expression turned cold, and before she could reply, Mei agreed with her eyes lingering on her face? Turning around, she looked at the blooming wintersweet trees nearby as if by accident, and said leisurely: "Time flies so fast, so it is not forgiving!"
Concubine Hui's face changed drastically, and all she could see was a pink face. Gradually, he became pale, as white as snow on the branches. He stumbled slightly, and the palace attendants around him hurriedly held him firmly.
Ruyi heard something wrong and immediately scolded: "How impudent! How can I allow you to talk nonsense and do anything wantonly in front of the imperial concubine and me!"
Mei promised not to be afraid and smiled. The sound fell in the snowy field as clear and ringing as a wind chime under the eaves: "Don't worry, Concubine Xian. Your Majesty is only two years older than my concubine. How can you be so unkind to your concubine over time? Who is that concubine talking about?" Naturally, I know it in my heart!"
"Nine-layered Phoenix Palace" Su Mi's thoughts finally returned to her normal sense. In confusion, she looked around.
It is already March, spring has returned to the earth, and everything is recovering.
It turned out that the cold white color that had just occupied her entire sight was just the white flags used in mourning, and the snowflakes scattered in the sky were just paper money.
It turns out that all the gardens in the palace are blooming with little green and goose-yellow colors. Under these layers of white, their heads are faintly sticking out, and they are stubbornly insisting on climbing up.
She originally thought that this deep pavilion and numerous cornices would never see an end; she originally thought that such a long cold winter and the continuous snowflakes would never see an end.
But everything has passed, all the love and hatred, all the prosperity and desolation, everything has left her.
Spring has arrived, before she knew it.
The old pattern has passed, and a new moment has arrived. A new world, a new Qi, stand in front of thousands of people, and an era has arrived for the people of the world.
She finally laughed softly.
It turns out that everything is really over and everything has to start again.
The Queen Mother...
The 21-year-old Queen Mother...
Who knows, she is only 21 years old!
She buried her head in Chen Lie's chest, as if absorbing the last ray of warmth. No one saw her expression at that moment, and no one saw the hem of his clothes after she left. The little water stain left on it.
Everyone only saw her raising her head, her tone was calm, her eyes were strong, and she said: "Let me down, I will walk on my own in the future."
There was a glimmer of light on the horizon, and at her feet, the crystal dewdrops on the branches reflected the morning sun, trembling gently on the freshly green leaves
and shaking.
The newly bloomed flowers below were white and tender. A gust of wind blew by, and the dewdrops fell down and fell into the stamens. The flower was overwhelmed and tilted its body. Water droplets overflowed, like a teardrop, sliding over the tender petals and falling to the ground silently.
"The Imperial Palace Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" After the imperial doctor continued to pour in the decoction, the queen finally woke up at Haishi. The queen's face was no longer as pale as it had been in despair, but instead had a little more coral-colored blush. She also gained strength and could speak slowly.
She coughed slightly, and saw a bright yellow shadow outside through the thin plain gauze screen. She knew that the emperor was guarding outside, and her heart, which was as cold as powder, warmed slightly, and she said with difficulty. : "Your Majesty..."
Qi Lu heard the words and came out: "Your Majesty, the Queen is awake. You..."
The Emperor's expression was painful and tired, and he finished drinking the strong tea in his hand. Added again, several times already. When he heard Qi Lu's invitation, he stood up and said, "I'm going to see the queen."
There was a strong smell of herbs in the queen's palace, mixed with the decadent smell of a woman who was about to die. The smell was like a rotten flower that bloomed deep in the ground. The bright petals and abundant juice were still there, but they were already showing signs of black rot and wilting.
The emperor suddenly felt a sense of pity and regret, but he also couldn't help but think of the way Xi Yue looked before she died when he went to visit her. Xi Yue's dying face gradually overlapped with that of the queen. The emperor frowned, with a hint of coldness in the corner of his mouth, but he still sat in front of the queen's bed and said gently: "Queen, are you awake?"
Two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of the queen's eyes, sliding feebly across her pale and wrinkled face, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have been married to you for many years. After this calamity, even if Even if the imperial doctor didn't tell me, I knew that I didn't have long to live. But I never thought that I would see you next to me when I opened my eyes. Your Majesty... I am really happy." /p>
The emperor's tone was as gentle as the March wind, ironing and warm: "Queen, don't say such depressing words. Have a good rest. You were just frightened after falling into the water. You will be fine after a while." "
The queen wanted to shake her head, but at this moment, shaking her head was already very tiring for her. After spending a long time, she just tilted her head slightly: "Your Majesty, my lord. I know my own body. I am not blessed to be able to keep my legitimate brother for you. Now at least Jingse has a good home. I ask the emperor not to let Jingse mourn for three years because of my death. Get married again. Next year will be a good year. Otherwise, it will be assumed that she has already married in Mongolia and will just make up for the wedding ceremony next year. She is already seventeen. In the past, she was reluctant to marry, but now she can't delay it. Get up."
The emperor nodded, with tears shining in the corners of his eyes: "Jingse is my and the queen's only legitimate daughter, I will definitely cherish her, the queen will be happy." He said. After pondering for a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind, "If not, I will make an exception and allow Jingse to build another mansion after she gets married, and stay in the capital with her consort."
The queen's eyes lit up, and she was quite happy. : "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask for. I know that I am not blessed, and God is not willing to love me. I am afraid that my time is running out." She struggled to hold herself up, but she couldn't. There is really nothing you can do. The emperor stretched out his hand to support half of her body, and wanted to give some words to persuade her, but saw her persistence, so he could only say: "Whatever the queen has to say, just say it."
The queen leaned on the emperor's arm and clearly understood I felt that his hands were not very strong. Although they were supporting me, they had restrained distance and strength. Over the years, he and she have become husband and wife by name, but isn't this love for each other not the same? Such a strong and warm body has never belonged only to him. The queen felt infinite sorrow, and felt that all her strong ambition for half her life had been turned into ashes. Countless words struggled to escape from her tongue, and she took a moment to breathe. Only then could she calm down and say: "Your Majesty, I know that I will die soon. Although I can't let go of my long-term friendship with the Emperor, I also know that the sky cannot be without the moon and the harem cannot be without the master." She raised her head and kept the last trace of the Queen. With dignity, he solemnly said, "As the master of the Sixth Palace in charge of Feng Yin, I recommend you a successor.
The pure noble concubine Su gave birth to a prince and made great contributions to the country. Careful in her service, gentle and kind, her virtue is enough to take charge of the harem after her concubine's death and succeed her as queen. "
There was a chill in the emperor's eyes, like the last clear frost at the end of autumn, covering the boundless wilderness. He still had the most gentle and decent smile, making people unconsciously feel close to him: " Queen, don't worry too much, you will be fine. "
The queen bit her dark purple lower lip and shook her head with all her strength: "I know that I can't do it anymore. My concubine’s second princess, second elder brother and seventh elder brother are all waiting for me below. Your Majesty, Concubine Chun..."
The emperor's smile sank, then reluctantly rose up again: "Queen, you shouldn't be thinking about these things. Queen is not only a title and an identity, but also my pillow. That's something I should measure, not you. "
The queen's complexion gradually turned blue, like a piece of deep green jade, but without any moist brilliance. Her smile was as miserable as a broken leaf: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much. Pure noble concubine, Shu concubine, even if you want to choose another woman to be the middle palace, I will not worry about it. But there is one person who can never do it. A cruel and malicious light flashed in her eyes, "Concubine Xian was born in the Uranala clan. You know how vicious the late Emperor's Queen Jingren Palace was." The descendants of such a woman will never be able to enter the middle palace.
The emperor still had the same calm tone, but with an obvious hint of indifference: "Queen, I told you that you are too worried." I won't listen to you if you worry too much. "
There was uncontrollable pain in the queen's eyes, and sparks of blue were almost jumping out of her eyes: "Your Majesty, since I married into Qianman, you will only call me Fujin. My concubine is loved by the emperor and is in the middle of the palace, but you only call me queen. Fujin and the Queen are nothing more than an identity and a title. She gasped, "Your Majesty, you haven't called me by my name for a long time. Do you... do you remember my concubine's name?" "
The emperor sat on the edge of the bed and patted the queen's hand comfortingly: "Queen, you are not in good health, so don't worry about it anymore. ”
Wherever the emperor’s fingertips passed, there was a warmth unique to men, which made the queen, whose body gradually became cold, feel endless lust. Once upon a time, these hands were what she longed for. But there has never been a day when these hands truly belonged to her. On this day, they brushed against someone's rosy and delicate cheeks; on that day, they may have stayed on someone's plump and fluffy black hair like this. As I thought about it, a hint of heartache and unwillingness flashed in my eyes, like a shooting star across the sky, but it lost its luster in just a moment. "Your Majesty, my concubine's name is...Langhua, which means 'Langmei Blessed Land. The meaning of "women's glory". "
The emperor nodded, with some warmth in his eyes, and said softly: "Your name. Much like a queen. ”
“Your Majesty! "The queen was lying on the bed, suddenly raised her body, and shouted fiercely. The voice was too hasty and sharp, with the crisp sound of broken jade.
A palace maid came in immediately outside, and she called out carefully. : "Your Majesty, what are your orders from the Queen? "
The emperor waved his hand gently: "Go down. The Queen just called me. He paused and then ordered, "No one is allowed to come in and disturb my conversation with the queen without my summons." ”
The palace people respectfully withdrew, and the queen’s expression weakened. Half of her thin shoulders were leaning against the green tent inlaid with five bats’ golden thread. Her whole body seemed like a shadow, vaguely imprinted there. There was a silent and broken sob in her throat: "Your Majesty, why do I want you to call me by your name like your wife? Is it so difficult? Sometimes I am really unwilling and really scared. "
The emperor sneered slightly, as if he couldn't believe it: "Afraid? You are the eldest daughter of the Fucha family and the direct descendant of the former Prince Bao. My queen, what do you have to fear? The so-called unwillingness is just that you are too greedy and unwilling to be satisfied. ”
The candlelight brightly illuminated the dimness of the room, but it seemed that it could not illuminate her dark mood. At this moment, she did not look like a noble daughter whose mother cared about the world, but rather like someone huddled in a corner. The dank plant that cannot see the sun is weak and humble. Her mind wanders to nowhere, and she says foolishly: "I have been taught how to be a proper wife since I was in the boudoir. Husband and son.
As a queen, you have given birth to children for me. You are frugal and modest, and you are not jealous or bitter towards the concubines. You are gentle and gentle, and you have never allowed the people of the world to comment.
If I expose you, it will only make you a stain in my history and make the royal family the laughing stock of the world. "Just like a gorgeous robe, even if it's worm-eaten and dilapidated underneath, he still has to retain the gold and jade beauty on the outside. Although they have been married for many years, they have a lot of kindness, but she kept pushing forward and never understood his suggestions. , and eventually the friendship over the years turned into unspeakable boredom. Only when he thought of their identical children, such innocent smiles made him feel slightly relieved. He knew that her nature was not as gentle as it was later. He was known to be so fierce, and he also knew that she would try her best to maintain such a gentle life, but in the future, she would gradually become distant, leaving only the politeness that should be expected of etiquette.
The queen was quiet. Listening, all her emotions gradually subsided under her restraint, and she finally returned to her usual grace and tranquility. She struggled and struggled again, and finally leaned down and said coldly: "The emperor cares so much about the royal family's face and himself. His face-saving concubine is truly a blessing from heaven. She raised her face and looked at the emperor, "Since it is a favor from the emperor, I have to repay it, so I will forgive you and speak frankly." Although I, my concubine, have devoted all my efforts to the Fucha clan, how can you not do anything for your own wishes? Although you are wise and intelligent with your temperament, everyone close to you will be hurt by it. Now that the matter has come to an end, I have to bear the consequences of what I have done. But no matter who will succeed me, as long as you are here, I am afraid that the end will not be as good as my concubine today! I just open my eyes and watch from the sky! "
Emperor Shi Shiran stood up, completely unconcerned. He walked to the round table with red sandalwood and peony carvings, glanced at the refreshments on the table, and said in a deep voice: "The affairs of this life are not yet certain. The Queen is still here. Are you thinking about the cause and effect behind you? The Queen should take good care of herself. My life with you is still long. "
As the emperor walked outside the palace, a gust of cold night wind blew over his face, clinging to his body silently, like an unintentional invasion. He shuddered unconsciously Han Qi, the anger that had been suppressed in her heart burst into dense tongues of fire, and along with the burning smell of her flesh being licked, there was a hint of compassion for such an upright and solemn woman. He would be so sad and sad at this time. He never thought that a daughter of a noble family like her would be as eager for his tenderness as his concubines from humble backgrounds.
At that moment, a thought almost shook his mind like a thunder. What if what Lang Hua said was true? What if, she had not actually done so many wrong things and caused all kinds of frustrations to Ruyi and the harem. It was really just Ah Ruo's ignorance and cruelty.
Did he also miss a lot about this woman?
In a moment of confusion, he suddenly remembered the past. , the moment when the red candles swayed in pairs, he had sincerely expected to get a virtuous and gentle lady from a famous family to be his wife for the rest of his life.
Although Langhua was not his own choice, it was not his choice. It was also a good choice. When he lifted up the golden silk silk and red cover, she said sincerely and expectantly: "I am willing to accompany my husband with the hundred-year glory of the Fucha family. She will bear children and be a good wife. ”
Perhaps they had all sincerely hoped that the future would be bright and beautiful and never dangerous.
But in the end, he and she lost themselves one by one. The eldest daughter, the second son, and the seventh son are all the same. The only one left is Jingse, who is now married to a woman and cannot bear the blessings of a marriage that lasted for decades. Is this all that can be left?
The emperor shook his head vigorously, as if to get rid of this unpleasant mood, and simply walked forward. Li Yu had already led others to wait outside, and saw the emperor alone. He came out with his hands behind his back, looked at the emperor's expression, and asked obediently: "The emperor's face doesn't look good, is he worried about the queen's condition? The Emperor is truly affectionate and loyal, and has always been with the Queen. "
The emperor did not answer. Li Yu quickly stopped talking and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is late at night.
Please tell me where to go? "
The emperor raised his face and said without thinking: "Go to Concubine Xian. "
Li Yu agreed resoundingly, supported the emperor and said: "Hey. The emperor takes off. "
The group of people walked in a meandering way, but after only a few steps, they heard loud wailing behind them, and the palace people burst into tears. Zhao Yitai ran out quickly and knelt down outside the Queen's Qingque Fang, crying loudly. Call: "The Queen passed away——"
The emperor was startled. A cold wind rushed into his eyes unexpectedly and pulled his eyelashes. The pain was so subtle and almost imperceptible, like tiny cracks. , gradually spread. His voice suddenly seemed a bit sad, scattered like broken beads in the deep night: "Yonglian, Yongcong, don't be afraid underground, your mother-in-law is here to accompany you. ”
