Looking back, things are right and wrong
"General." I asked softly and called him tentatively. He suddenly turned around and took off the black cloth covering his face. It was really him. He looked more mature than before.
"Why don't you want to sleep with me?" He still lowered his head to get angry and never looked at me.
"I don't, the emperor is just busy with government affairs." I don't know how to answer this question. How can I say this kind of thing? Why would he ask me this kind of thing?
"You don't have to lie to me. I know everything that happened in the past few nights. Xin'er, why didn't you tell me earlier?" He suddenly turned around. He walked up to me and clamped his hands firmly on me, shaking me.
.
"General, please also note that I am the emperor's woman. My heart has never been with you." I still said that, hoping that he would give up. But he seemed unmoved.
"You lied to me, Xin'er, why did you torture yourself? I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I already know it. Why are you so stupid and using yourself as a bargaining chip in exchange?"
He seems to know everything, and I know that I really can't hide anything at this moment. Everything has been revealed. But this will only make me more sad. It was my poor acting skills that made him notice the clues.
"But if I don't do this, you won't appear in front of me." I smiled bitterly.
"Xin'er, I promised you that I would bring you home and make you the most beautiful bride. Mingyin is given this life by you, and I should help you fulfill your wish. Can we leave here?"
"No, this goes against the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Permanent principles. I cannot betray my husband. Besides, a woman cannot serve two husbands."
"But you said you would wait for me. But why do you want to marry someone else now? Do you still care about those rules?"
"I'm sorry for you. It's just that you and I are not who we were back then. I am the mother of the world, and you are the general who is responsible for the stability of the country. We all have the responsibility of the country on our shoulders."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Since you have so many reasons, I won't force you. I respect you. But just wait. One day, I will definitely let you be my wife."
I smiled and left.
He is still the same in that cave, and the bonfire is still that warm, but everything no longer belongs to me. I know that we can't let go of each other in our hearts. But this is our fate. We are too humble in front of fate. What we can do
Just accept it.
The harem is where I should be.
Maybe I felt a little sorry for the Emperor, so I cooked a dinner myself that night and waited for the Emperor to come.
I was much more humble that night. Maybe I figured it out, maybe I felt relieved when the truth became clear.
Now that I'm married to him, a woman should follow her husband when she gets married. I should devote myself to my husband wholeheartedly and not think about anyone else. He smiled happily and asked me happily.
"Xin'er, you were so kind to me today. What do you want?"
"I don't want anything. I just hope that your Majesty will be diligent in government affairs and give the people a stable life so that they can have enough food and clothing."
"It is a great blessing for me and a great blessing for our country to have such a virtuous queen." He looked at my inexplicable feelings and put his arms around my waist.
I smiled and leaned into his arms. Although he is not as solid and reliable as the general, he is my husband and my support throughout my life. Now this should be my home.
"Your Majesty, I will be loyal to you and make him happy every day." I said gently.
"That's good, my beloved concubine really understands justice."
He kissed me gently on my forehead, as softly as a dragonfly touching water. That night, he hugged me quietly like this.
Although we were in the same room that night, nothing out of the ordinary happened.
As soon as Dongfang Yubaibai appeared, the emperor went to the morning court. I helped the emperor get dressed. Logically speaking, after the emperor accepted the queen, he had to select beautiful girls to fill the harem.
Since ancient times, emperors have been very unlucky. Once there are groups of wives and concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, the emperor will be intoxicated in the gentle countryside, doting on his concubines and forgetting his wife. If he falls out of favor in the harem, his life will be worrying. There are too many women who have lost their beauty in the harem.
Amid conspiracies and intrigues, he became a victim of history.
