Xuanrao thought that the emperor was cold-blooded and heartless.
Unexpectedly, one day, I will see the emperor's sincerity with my own eyes.
It turns out that emperors are just like ordinary men.
When he falls in love with someone, he will also worry about gains and losses. If he can't see it at a glance, he will feel anxious and uneasy.
"Then I'm leaving. Xuanrao, good night."
"OK, good night."
Xuanrao came to his senses and sent Sang Yan out of the palace.
She watched her figure walking away from a distance. While envious of her loneliness, she also prayed that she would have a good outcome with the emperor and that she would be safe and happy for the rest of her life.
"Empress, tell me, the emperor likes Master Sang so much, why doesn't he make her his concubine?"
Yun Qiao followed her, still eating French fries, and asked the confusion that had been buried in her heart for a long time: "Is the emperor really afraid of her life as a concubine? He doesn't want to stay with her for a long time?"
Xuanrao frowned when he heard this: "Why do you say that?"
Yun Qiao explained: "People in the palace say this privately. Master Sang is beautiful, but if you use sex to meddle with others, you won't get good results for a long time."
"That's because they are stupid."
Xuanrao turned around and walked into the palace. As he walked, he said: "In this palace, status and titles are all false. Only the emperor's love is real. Look at the queen, even if she has the title of queen, so what?"
She stays in the Qifeng Palace all day like a decoration. Who goes to see her? She can still live like a human being because the Queen Mother is still there. When the Queen Mother is gone, she may not be as lucky as me. And Na Lan, do you?
How many days have you been a concubine? Whether you are high or low is a matter of a word from the emperor."
At this point, she smiled with relief: "Well, what are you talking about? It has nothing to do with us. We...should be leaving this prison soon."
Yun Qiao was stunned: "Leave this prison?"
Xuanrao nodded and looked at her, eyes sparkling with sparks: "Yes. Leave. We want to leave this palace and start a new life."
*
Sang Yan returned to the side hall of Qingning Hall.
The palace was very quiet.
The palace maid and eunuch were kneeling, their bodies trembling.
Even Pei Muyang looked solemn and waited quietly.
No one dared to speak.
Until she showed up.
Pei Muyang breathed a sigh of relief and came forward with a smile: "My master, you are finally back. Please persuade the emperor. Tell me, why is he angry with a minister? If he is unhappy, kill him.
If you are demoted, there are plenty of ways to vent your anger, so why bother yourself?"
Sang Yan didn't know what was going on, so she frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Pei Muyang explained: "It's not those local officials who were included in the memorial -"
"Pei Muyang, get out!"
He Ying shouted sharply.
Pei Muyang shut his mouth, smiled bitterly, and exited the hall.
Before he left, he called away all the maids and eunuchs.
The hall became quiet again.
Sang Yan walked up to him, looked at the piles of memorials, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the memorials?"
"nothing."
He Ying picked up a memorial and continued reading, as if he had forgotten the purpose of reviewing the memorial here.
Sang Yan knew that he was just showing off when he read the memorial. Looking at his face, which was cold and smelly, he was obviously waiting for her to coax him.
That's right, she didn't come back until now. He sent people to urge her and even moved the memorial here to read. She must have been waiting for her for a long time.
Like her clingy cat.
"Meow-"
Thinking of the cat, the cat jumped out of He Ying's lap and pounced on her.
Hey, maybe he really got the clingy nature of cats.
Sang Yan stroked her cat and sighed in a pretentious manner: "Well, I didn't want to read the memorial before, but the emperor kept showing it to me. Now I want to read it, but the emperor doesn't want to show it to me. As expected, the king's heart is unpredictable.
, whether you love or not love, it’s all in one thought——”
Before she could finish her words, the memorial came before her.
"If you keep saying that, I will become a mean and unkind person."
He Ying looked at her helplessly, with a hint of resentment in his tone: "Obviously it was you who found a new love and left me far away."
Sang Yan laughed at this: "What about finding a new love? The emperor used the wrong idiom."
She and Xuanrao were best friends at best, and the word "taking a new love" was too ambiguous.
Although she wants to be a man, her sexuality/orientation is still very normal.
He Ying didn't know what she was thinking, and the sourness spread again: "I have used her correctly, and I know it in my heart. You are more interested in that Xuan family than me. What is so good about her? Is it worth your lingering?"
"How can I forget to leave?"
Sang Yan argued: "I was very busy today, so I only stayed there for two hours. The rest of the time, please stay in the side hall, okay? The emperor is busy with official duties every day, and is so busy that it is difficult to see anyone. I have nothing to do, so I can't have some fun."
Companion, are you passing the time? The days in the palace are already lonely. If I don’t learn to pass the time, I will die in depression sooner or later. Your Majesty doesn’t want me to be beautiful and miserable, right?"
"Stop saying unlucky words."
He Ying couldn't hear her say words like "death".
Sang Yan muttered softly: "The emperor said it first."
He Ying sighed: "I can't help you."
"Then let's not talk about it."
Sang Yan reached out and took the memorial with eyes full of interest: "Let me see what is written in this memorial. It makes the emperor so angry."
a moment later
He covered his mouth and smiled unkindly: "Hahaha, this official is really——"
Tiger!
It actually came into being in the memorial.
He also said that it would not be fatal for the emperor to be unwell if he was close to women. No need for ink marks, just close your eyes and go in. If you tremble, you can have an heir to the emperor.
This is similar to the modern saying that men are seconds away.
No wonder the emperor was so angry.
At the end of the key, some yang-enhancing medicines are also mentioned.
Apparently, I was more worried about the Emperor being ill than worrying about the Emperor being ill.
"Hahaha, what a talent!"
"Stop laughing!"
He Ying's face turned black with anger, and he threatened: "If you laugh again, I will favor you and let you give birth to an heir to me."
Sang Yan: "..."
Scared.
Scared.
Decisive to hold back laughter.
"Cough cough cough——"
She cleared her throat and said seriously: "Looking at it from another perspective, Your Majesty, they also want to congratulate their successors. They are all loyal and patriotic people. Your Majesty should be happy, not angry."
This is a nice thing to say.
He Yingxiao looked at her and asked directly: "They gave birth to children because they were loyal to the emperor and patriotic. What about you? Aren't you the most kind and selfless? Are you willing to give birth to an heir for me and fulfill your responsibilities of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?"
Sang Yan: "..."
Numb.
Too careless.
Digging a hole and burying yourself.
"Your Majesty, I'm sleepy and want to take a shower."
She found an excuse, threw the memorial into his arms, turned around and ran away.
He Ying watched her escape and smiled helplessly: "You are smart in small things, but you are confused in big things."
He put the memorial back on the desk, picked up a new memorial, and continued reading.
After Sang Yan washed up and came out, she saw that he hadn't left yet, so she tactfully chased him away: "Your Majesty, it's getting dark, so you'd better rest early. Your health is important."
"You go to sleep. I'll watch it for a while. I still haven't finished it."
He made it clear that he didn't want to move anyone away.
Sang Yan didn't have much to say, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
I couldn't sleep with the emperor beside me.
She tossed and turned for a while before finally speaking out: "Your Majesty, I really don't want to have children."
In ancient times, the medical conditions were backward, and giving birth to a child was beyond the gate of hell. It was terrible.
He Ying didn't know that she was afraid of having children, so he said, "I will make you want to have children."
He felt that she just didn't love him enough.
When she loves him enough, she will naturally be willing to have children for him.
Listening to his answer, Sang Yan felt that she had not made it clear, so she added, "What if I can't give birth to a child?"
