"You never want to see me again in the next life. Did she ever say that to you?" Xuan Ye asked calmly. Lan Qi came back to her senses and realized that she finally said it.
It seems that she has hidden some big secret. This sentence has been pressed in her heart for more than ten years. This is the last wish of Empress Xiaozhao. The empress once asked her to convey it to the emperor. Just because she said not to force it, she was worried that Xuan Ye would be hurt for it.
, and because of the empress dowager’s obstruction, she has not spoken out for more than ten years.
I saw the Queen's letter tonight and thought about the possible easing of their relationship. If the Queen had put down her burdens and stayed with the Emperor like Queen Hesheli, how could things have happened in the future? Maybe after Queen Hesheli passed away, she
Naturally, she would become the new queen, but none of this happened. Maybe it was just because the former concubine Zhao did not send this letter.
She couldn't force Xuan Ye to love a woman he didn't like. The emperor at that time was young and vigorous. If Xuan Ye was cruel to Concubine Wen, then his only fault for the queen was probably that he didn't love her. But what was wrong with the queen?
?
Is the fault because of her noble birth? The fault is because of her strong character? Or is it because she fell in love with the emperor? Every word in this letter is her heartfelt love for the emperor, but if you look closely, you will see that the words are too cautious and solemn, even the invitation...
The emperor's visit to Yikun Palace seemed a bit like an invitation to favor, but it seemed so rigid and boring. Perhaps when Xuan Ye really received this letter, he would have had a serious talk with Concubine Zhao to resolve their misunderstanding, but the result might have been nothing more than that.
Concubine Zhao, she lost to herself after all.
"You see, she still carries her own dignity between the lines in this letter. I don't blame her for being self-respecting, but the tenderness and sweetness between men and women, even if I am an emperor, I will not always be superior in front of you. Otherwise,
How can I allow you to lose your temper, or even speak rudely and contradict me? Back then, I had the guidance of the emperor, the assistance of advisors, and the support of the imperial grandmother. I did not need a woman who was like a teacher, minister or even an elder to accompany me.
It's me, most men in the world don't have such needs. I see her dedication, and I give her all the praises, but whenever I want to get close to her and build a relationship with her, she lays down the layers.
There are layers of barriers, and I don’t know what kind of self-esteem and arrogance they have, but they keep me away thousands of miles away."
Xuan Ye said these words, held Lan Qi in his arms, and continued: "Back then, she spread rumors and made you the target of public criticism. I was so angry that I gritted my teeth. But when I calmed down and wanted to resolve the misunderstanding with her rationally, I played a good game of chess.
, but she suddenly assumed a condescending attitude, and made repeated instigations with her words, which made me so angry that she actually hit a pillar and sought death. Later, you were beaten severely by the imperial grandmother to calm down the public anger. Do you know that I am now
I will also think of the way you were beaten, and every time I think of it, I feel distressed and upset."
Lan Qi's heart felt soft, and she leaned against his chest and said: "I have long forgotten it. Why should the emperor remember it? You seem to be blaming the Empress Dowager. You know, it was my concubine who gave me the beating."
I went to beg for it, and because of this, I gained the trust of the Empress Dowager and was cared for by her for more than ten years."
Xuan Ye shook his head: "That's not what I think, that's all..." He sighed deeply and then said, "Tonight all my sons are gathered in front of me. Looking at them, big and small, high and low, my uneasiness about the passing of my years in the early years is gone.
, but the more satisfied I am, the more I reveal the missing piece in my heart. I miss Yinzuo."
Lan Qi raised her head and saw tears in the emperor's eyes. She couldn't hold back immediately. Yin Zuo was the deepest pain in her heart. Touching her at any time would make her miserable. Seeing Xuan Ye sad now, she couldn't hold it back anymore.
, choked and said: "Okay, why bother provoking me."
Xuan Ye hugged her tightly and said lazily: "Don't cry. I didn't let you cry. You are afraid of me anyway. The emperor doesn't allow you to cry, so you still dare to cry?"
The two of them cuddled tightly together, but a yellowed letter brought such gentle words. Lan Qi thought that Xuan Ye would be angry at the queen's "unfeeling", but now she realized that there was no emotion between them.
, since she is ruthless, how can she be ruthless? Maybe the queen does not want to meet the emperor in the next life, and Xuan Ye himself does not want to meet her again in the next life.
"Their sisters are actually very similar. It's just that the queen is reserved and keeps everything in her heart, while Concubine Wen would rather fly to a flame than to fight for everything at all costs. And she doesn't have that kind of wisdom. Her 'smartness' doesn't even apply to Yi."
Even worse than a concubine." Xuan Ye smiled bitterly, "More than ten or twenty years have passed like this. I have been the emperor for more than thirty years. Ming Shizong has been in power for forty-three years, and Shenzong has been in power for forty-eight years.
Since our Aisin Gioro family has taken away their empire, there should be an emperor who can live to be a hundred years old and reign longer than them. Forty-eight years is not a long time, and I don’t want to lose to them."
Lan Qi said with a smile: "By the forty-ninth year of Kangxi's reign, my concubine will be half a hundred, and she will be an old woman. Fortunately, the emperor is older, and it is more than enough to pretend to be young in front of you."
Xuan Ye felt happy in his heart and pecked her lips gently: "Forty-nine years, fifty-nine years, or even longer, how about we hug each other like this?"
Lan Qi smiled quietly, turned away from his arms, put the letter away, thought about it, turned around and threw it into the charcoal basin under the window. She watched the yellow paper burn into ashes, then turned to look at the emperor, and saw
He smiled quietly without any objection.
Lan Qi waddled back, her wicker-like body so soft that people couldn't take their eyes away. She stood in front of the dressing table and unbuttoned her collar slightly, looked back at Xuan Ye, and said with a sour tone: "Don't say more than ten
Twenty years later, you still miss me and my concubine hugging each other inappropriately, but now I am still young and can no longer compare to those teenage flowers, so I have been despised by others." As he spoke, a hint of light appeared on his neck.
Snow-white, but she did not continue to take off her clothes. Instead, she sat down and faced the mirror. She took a deep breath to wipe away the sadness and sadness just now. Her heart was beating warmly. Tonight, she wanted to melt herself into Xuan Ye.
body.
Her long black hair was let down, and all the pearls and hairpins on her bun were gone. She didn't do much makeup when she was resting in the room, and her face was fresh and refreshing, restoring her original softness. Xuan Ye moved behind her step by step, Lan
Qi's green hair was soft and smooth, winding around her fingers like silk and satin. She lifted up her long hair to reveal her snow-white pink neck. He leaned over and gently kissed her, and breathed softly into her ear: "Ask me to touch it."
Can you see if the place where you were beaten still hurts?"
The person in the mirror had eyes full of eyes and cheeks like clouds. She leaned back slightly and fell into his arms. She smiled delicately and said, "You should be gentler."
The newly renovated earth dragon in Yonghe Palace was warmer than in previous years. Concubine De asked the emperor to warm her body, but she melted herself. She was the same as every woman in this palace, she had lust and greed, and she fought for it.
Everything she wants, but she will not do anything like a moth flying into a flame, or do anything unscrupulous. What is mine will always be mine, not mine. If you spend your life pursuing it, what if you get it?
The Forbidden City was covered in snow despite the snowstorm in November. It finally cleared up for several consecutive days as we entered the twelfth lunar month. The palace also cleared away the haze of the death of Concubine Wen Xi. Laba is a good day, so the emperor chose that day to honor Tong.
The concubine performed the canonization ceremony, and there was another Concubine Tong in the palace.
Just over a month after the death of Concubine Wen Xi, the emperor promoted her to Concubine Tong. It was obvious who would occupy the highest position in the palace in the future. But even though everyone knew that Concubine Tong's future was destined to be noble because of her birth, many people still felt that,
The imperial concubines of Yonghe Palace will rise with the tide. Now that there is one more fourth concubine, perhaps one will become vacant in the near future.
That day, the concubines gathered in Jingyang Palace to gossip, and I don’t know who started it. They said that the premature death of Song Gege’s daughter in the fourth elder brother’s house was caused by man-made things. Now Li Fujin was also pregnant, and the fourth elder brother’s house
It is as guarded against people as it is guarded against thieves, and even the flies protected by Li Zifujin's Xiyuan cannot fly in.
The female relatives were chirping and telling jokes, and Duanbi sneered: "Have you seen it with your own eyes? It sounds like it is true. I am not afraid that the northwest wind will blow your mouths."
Concubine Yi snorted from the side: "Sisters are just joking, but you, concubine, take it too seriously."
Of course Duan Concubine could not be disrespectful to Concubine Yi, but Concubine Hui sat aside and said to Concubine Yi: "You should pay close attention to the fortune of the fifth elder brother. You will have endless worries in the future."
Concubine Yi glanced at her: "Fifth elder brother really doesn't have to worry about it. You are nothing like me. You just moved into the eldest elder brother's house. It's been almost a year since the Fujins came here, and the fourth elder brother's house is blooming."
As a result, why is there no movement at all from the eldest brother’s place?”
But the silence was not limited to the eldest brother's house. Those in the third elder brother's house were at peace if they were not tortured to death by San Fujin. This was a big pain point for Concubine Rong. Now that Concubine Yi was poking at Concubine Hui, she felt uncomfortable.
For a moment, he straightened his face and said coldly: "My back is sore, so I won't sit with you anymore."
It happened that someone came from Qianqing Palace, originally to report to Concubine Rong, but now he said to everyone: "Long live the pearls I have given to all my masters, and they have been distributed to each palace. Please go back to the palace to receive the reward."
At this time, the women all dispersed, and Concubine Yi could be heard muttering as she walked away: "Why are you so anxious? The good ones won't be your turn. They should have been picked out and sent to Yonghe Palace."
But at this moment, in the Yonghe Palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent two boxes of pearls, but Empress Dowager De was not seen to accept the rewards in person. Huanchun accepted them and said that the empress was talking to Sifujin. The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said attentively: "Long live the emperor to reward empress. It has always been the case."
Don't be grateful, a slave is just a preacher, how can I dare to work like a queen?"
Huan Chun smiled and stuffed two handfuls of copper coins to send them away. He then held the pearls and thought of an excuse to send something in to see the scene. However, before entering the ceremony gate, he saw Si Fujin still kneeling there. He couldn't help but feel nervous, so he still held the pearls and exited.
Coming.
Today, the wet nurse followed Fu Jin into the palace. When she saw Huan Chun exiting with a sullen face, she came up to him and asked, "How is it? Your Majesty still can't calm down your anger?"
