Volume 1: Huatangchun Chapter 11: King Heng's life experience
After saying this, the two of them never exchanged anything again. They each found a piece of land and sat on the ground. Qingxi kept her eyes closed, but she always stayed awake. She desperately thought about weird things all over the world.
To downplay the existence of the person next to me, and temporarily escape from tonight's unexpected adventure.
However, Xiao Yizheng kept his eyes open. He didn't know how long it had been before he heard the even breathing of the people around him and turned his head slightly. It was obvious that the young lady of the Ling family still couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep unwillingly.
Yes. He squinted his eyes slightly, sighed softly, raised the corners of his mouth in an arc, and closed his eyes gently.
"Your Majesty?" A soft call woke up Qingxi. She opened her eyes suddenly, and it took her some time to understand where she was and her current situation. As soon as she got up, she saw Xiao Yizheng had already walked over.
In front of the door.
"I'm here," he replied in a low voice. "Go and find a way to open this lock, and open it intact."
"yes"
There was no sound outside the door immediately. Xiao Yizheng turned around and looked at Qingxi and said, "You can go out soon."
Qingxi nodded.
He said it would be quick, and indeed it was quick. The door opened. Xiao Yizheng stepped out and said to the visitor: "Please clean up the aftermath and leave no trace."
The other party nodded, turned his head to look at Qing Xi who was following him, and suddenly showed surprise: "Your Majesty, this?"
Xiao Yizheng stared at him and said calmly: "Pretend you didn't see anything!"
As if he didn't see anything? Qingxi felt dissatisfied in his heart again. How could someone like him not see him? What's annoying is that there is nothing wrong with him saying this, and he should even say it. It's just that
Couldn't the tone be gentler? She curled her lips and felt that she really shouldn't care, so she lowered her head slightly and followed his footsteps.
After returning to the residence of the prince and the princess, Qingxi was arranged in a wing room. Xiao Yizheng only left one sentence: "Miss Ling, have a good rest. When the sun rises, forget everything about the night."
Turn around and leave.
Forgot? It’s so easy to say.
She was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She was shocked when she remembered that she had fallen asleep in the library just now.
Go inside.
When the sun had just risen, there was a knock on her door.
Ling Qingxi opened the door and was slightly startled when she saw Shen Tong standing at the door.
Shen Tong greeted him with a smile: "I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Qingxi looked confused. After she ordered her entourage to wait outside, she went in alone and continued: "You said you got lost last night when you went back and met King Heng, so you were sent to my place to rest?"
Shen Tong looked at her confused face as if she hadn't woken up. He thought she was embarrassed by getting lost, so he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, only me and the people around me know that the people around me will not be confused."
I said, I won't let you lose face because of getting lost!" After saying that, he pulled her to sit down and pushed the food he brought in front of her: "The prince didn't come back last night, I woke up early, and I listened when I woke up.
He said that the Sixth Emperor's Brother came here last night, saying that he came to apologize in person, and made his brother the Crown Prince drunk and could not come back. I never thought that I would meet you crying in a hurry on the way."
Only then did Qingxi understand that the rhetoric arranged by His Highness the Sixth Prince was to portray her as a timid and stupid person, but she couldn't refute it yet.
"I'm quite surprised that you actually cried because you got lost?" Shen Tong frowned slightly, with both confusion and teasing.
She quickly put away her anger and lowered her head and said, "Thanks to His Highness Prince Heng." She really didn't want to deceive Shen Tong, so she could only be vague. "Sister Tong, I think I'll hurry up later. It’s good to go back.”
Shen Tong thought she was really embarrassed, so he didn't ask any more questions about the matter, and said gently: "It's still early, let's have something to eat first. I'll go to pay my respects to the queen mother later, and then I'll take you back."
Qingxi nodded, but she was really not in the mood to have breakfast. She bit her lips, frowned and asked, "His Royal Highness, he seems to have a good relationship with the prince brother?"
Shen Tong stopped moving his chopsticks, and then looked at Qing Xi with a smile: "What? He sent you back, are you curious about him?"
Qingxi was stunned by this sentence. She really didn't mean it this way!
"Heng'er, Prince Heng is not a good match!" Shen Tong said leisurely.
Prince Heng is not a good match. This was the second time Shen Tong mentioned this.
"What do I mean? It's just that I heard a lot about His Highness Prince Heng's deeds in Mei Jing Tower. It's normal to be a little curious!" She smiled and said calmly.
"Oh? Just listen to those deeds." Shen Tong thought for a moment, thinking that the King Heng mentioned by the storyteller was probably the man in the dreams of countless girls. "Do you know his life experience?" Shen Tong's face became serious.
Qingxi's eyes narrowed. She knew a little bit about King Heng's life experience.
The biological mother of King Heng Xiao Yizheng was Queen Xiaoyi. The life of Queen Xiaoyi was also quite mysterious and legendary.
She had never set foot in the palace, her background was unknown, and her maiden name was unknown. Although everyone had their own guesses, most of them did not dare to discuss it. What was known for sure was that Xiao Zhe, who was still the crown prince at that time, went to Jiangnan incognito and brought her back to her. From then on, she was the all-consuming heart of the charming and charming Crown Prince. And the Crown Princess at that time was none other than the current Queen Yuan Shi.
Later, Xiao Che ascended the throne and became the emperor, but it was very strange that this beautiful lady did not enter the palace or receive a title, but had been living in a large villa on the outskirts of Shangdu, called Liuxin Garden. This is Chubieyuan has now been given to Prince Heng. Although he is busy with government affairs, the emperor still goes to and fro to visit her every now and then. The officials in the court are quite critical, but the emperor's attitude on this matter is extremely tough.
In the sixth year of Yongning, this beautiful lady died. The emperor was so sad that he defied all opinions and posthumously named her Queen Xiaoyi. After the death of his biological mother, King Heng was taken back to the palace by the emperor and personally taught him how to behave in daily life. The queen takes care of her daily life.
"The prince once warned me that Prince Heng's biological mother was a taboo in the palace. Since her death, no one dared to mention it easily. It is said that she abandoned her family parents and followed her father back to Shangdu, that is, among the people The elopement. But think about what status my father had back then. He was a prince! Why did he elope? There must be a story in it. King Heng’s life experience would be somewhat embarrassing."
"Is there such a thing?" Qing Xi frowned slightly.
"I am telling you to listen to this because our friendship cannot be spread outside this door."
"That's natural. I know the importance. So, the grace he and his mother received will make the people in the harem uncomfortable to some extent, right?"
"There are not many mistresses in the harem, and almost all of them were taken in by the emperor when he was hiding in the palace. In fact, since the death of Queen Xiaoyi, the one who has caught the eye of the emperor is the seventh prince's biological mother, Concubine Nian." Shen Tong said this. , with deep emotion in his eyes, he said affectionately with a hint of envy: "It is said that Concubine Nian looks like Queen Xiaoyi. You said it is rare for the emperor to have such affection."
Qingxi curled her lips, as if she disagreed: "It's not a blessing for the Concubine Nian!" She raised her eyes and saw that Shen Tong didn't seem to hear her words, and was still immersed in his own emotions. , then said in a harmonious voice: "Sister Tong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also be a person who values affection and righteousness. You, too, will be so affectionate!"
Only then did Shen Tong calm down, with a faint smile on his lips, "If you marry into an emperor's family and expect such deep affection, you will be in trouble with yourself. You are right, my father's deep affection for Empress Xiaoyi is the same as for his mother. It is a kind of harm to Concubine Nian."
"So what about the Queen and King Heng?" Qingxi's question arose again.
"He also grew up by his mother's side. In my opinion, she treated him very well. Several times, when I was waiting in front of my mother, I could hear her mentioning King Heng, and I was always worried about him traveling alone in the mountains. You can't take care of yourself while playing in the water. His Royal Highness the Prince also has a close brotherly relationship with this younger brother, and he often talks about him to me." Shen Tong saw Qingxi nodding her head after listening, and held her chin, as if thinking about some important issue. Then he continued: "King Heng has been traveling abroad in the past few years. I still saw him on his wedding day, and then this time when he came back, we met twice. I know that his appearance and demeanor are... It is extremely attracting the attention of girls. However, Heng'er, I can tell you that back then, my father promised his mother that he would have to make the final decision on his marriage. But in recent years, he has been traveling freely, in my opinion , there may be confidantes everywhere in this world. Even if there is a female official in this palace, whenever he returns to the palace, he will find an opportunity to look at him more and say a few more words." She sighed softly: "I always think of you. Maybe you can find something unique."
Qingxi looked up and saw Shen Tong's expression of hesitation, and immediately understood what she was thinking. It would be difficult for Shen Tong to achieve that kind of single-mindedness in her own life, but she hoped that she could have it. Qingxi's heart was full of warmth He smiled, shook Shen Tong's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Tong, do you really think I would have that idea?"
Shen Tong also laughed. Yes, she knew that Qingxi was a big-minded person, so she thought she had to worry too much.
"Don't worry! I don't get along with that King Heng!" She thought of what happened last night, and felt even more so, and nodded heavily subconsciously.
