The sorceress died at the
age of beauty: I still remember that the emperors of today were weak and could be bullied when
they were in love with the thrush. The government and the public were all the henchmen of the sorceress Yang at the age of beauty.
It is said that the witch Yang Shisui is sinister and vicious, with a heart of snakes and scorpions, and is a murderous devil.
Ridiculous. That’s because I want power to be handed down from generation to generation, always in the hands of women.
At night, Yin Cheng entered my bedroom in silence. He leaned against the bedpost and asked me, “Will you abandon your little lover like this?”
I lay there half with a copy of The Art of War in my arms. When I heard this, I put down the book and lifted his chin with my toes wrapped in white satin stockings. “Isn’t that what you want to see, Your Majesty?”. I came back to you.
He did not speak, but grabbed my ankle and went up to me.
But I turned it over and pressed it under me.
Then there is the smell of blue musk deer panting, and the phoenix screen Mandarin pillow sleeping in the gold shop. It’s
a long night. When he woke up
the next morning, he saw that I was in a good mood and asked if he could go with me to the Imperial Study to correct the memorial today.
I shrugged my shoulders. “Of course, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Besides, I have to be taught by Your Majesty.”
I know what he’s thinking.
But I’m not afraid.
In fact, the relationship between us at that time was not so good. When I
was young, Yin Cheng always chased after me and called my little aunt.
I was not his real aunt, but the young daughter of Yang Taifu, who happened to save the life of the late emperor while burning incense at the Lantai Temple. The late emperor was grateful, and thinking of my family, he made Princess Jou-chia princess with a different surname, and accompanied the empress Dowager at that time, my cousin’s grandmother.
Titles, treasures, positions, endless honors.
At that time, I should be the envy of the world.
I am as old as Yin Cheng, and he is not the legitimate son of the empress, but a humble little prince. The meeting between the
two of us was also a bit dramatic-
at the full moon banquet of the seven princesses, I thought the congratulations were too long and boring, so I asked for leave and slipped out to play with my aunt. But somehow, he lost his way and walked into a dense bamboo forest.
The wind rustled the branches and leaves, but I heard a few screams and cries from the wind. With
fear and curiosity, I followed the sound to the corner, and then pushed aside the grass to see that
a woman who looked like a palace concubine was being bullied by a rough man dressed as a bodyguard.
I had never seen such a battle, but the fire still came from it and threw stones directly!
That stone is not small, and the fore sight is good, just hit the back of the man’s head.
The man staggered to look back and see what the uninvited guest was. I was afraid that he would get up, so I threw the stones again and again.
As the bodyguard finally fell to the ground, the trembling woman just showed her pitiful face.
I have been in the harem for a period of time, and I vaguely recognize that this should be Zhou Guiren.
And Zhou Guiren is Yin Cheng’s mother and concubine. With a lingering fear,
I went over and took off my cloak to cover her exposed body.
Zhou Guiren said thank you, and as soon as I helped her up, Yin Cheng came over.
His eyes were full of anger, but he suppressed it and thanked me modestly and politely.
My first impression of him is not bad.
At that time, I only told him that I would report this matter to the emperor, so that he could punish the wicked and not let the bullies of Empress Zhou go unpunished.
Zhou Guiren begged me not to. I was still young
at that time, and I didn’t know why.
Later, I realized that the most important thing for the royal family was face, and this was just because King An had taken a fancy to Zhou Guiren and wanted to make peace with her occasionally. In fact, even if the old emperor knew, he would turn a blind eye, but Zhou Guiren would rather die than follow.
So the despicable man wanted to take revenge in this way, to dirty her body.
Buy off a greedy bodyguard and give some benefits. Once seen by the emperor, Zhou Guiren and Yin Cheng should both end their lives.
Ruined the lives of two people, just because of an evil thought.
But he only needs to feed a poison to the bodyguard in advance, then he can escape easily.
He did not regard Zhou Guiren as a human being at all, and even if he was an imperial concubine, he was just his plaything.
Even though many years have passed, when Yin Cheng told me about this matter, he still gnashed his teeth and burned with anger.
I touched his head and held him in my arms. “Ah Cheng is doing a good job, isn’t he?” I asked. “If you follow the example of your superiors and subordinates, this kind of person will disappear.”
His body stiffened slightly in my arms.
I know that this has touched his bad luck, and he should be uncomfortable to hear it.
But I don’t care.
It was just an episode in my girlhood, and I soon forgot it.
I still fantasized that I could get married with the honor of a princess and have many choices. I even discussed with Yin Cheng which family was the most handsome and which one was more talented. Since Zhou Guiren’s incident, we have been getting closer and closer, and he has become half of my little sidekick.
And it wasn’t until the year I died that time went by and everything changed. When
my father died, my two brothers had not yet made a career, and the Yang family gradually declined. The death of
my aunt was the last straw to protect me.
I never dreamed that the old emperor would enter my bedroom late at night and want to untie my clothes. When I finally gave up
because I was coming to Kuishui, I knew that
the dog emperor wanted to play with me.
And he is forty years older than me. I am the proudest daughter since I was a child. I want to commit myself to such a man. Like those concubines I have seen, I wait for luck every day, count the floor tiles in the palace, and wait for him to be buried ten or twenty years later.
I definitely don’t want to live like this.
He looked at me with a gloomy expression.
“All the women in the world belong to me. If you are willing, the Yang family will be revitalized. If you are not willing, don’t blame me for being rude.”
I didn’t have any chips to refuse. He just reminded me not to toast without eating. It took
me a long time to wake up and realize that I had to find a new backer.
I have a crush on Princess Dachang of Deyang.
Princess Dachang was the real elder sister of the dog emperor. She took care of him a lot since childhood, and helped him a lot when he seized the throne later. Heard that the original chip is to allow her to rule from behind the curtain, but did not expect the dog emperor after he ascended the throne, but has been reducing the power of Deyang.
This made her very dissatisfied, but helpless. One of the
most important reasons is that she is a woman with a bad name.
And when I went to Fengyi Palace uneasily to show my intention to seek refuge with her, she only sat upright in the main seat, grinding her gorgeous nails, and did not give me a straight eye.
“What can Sister Jou-chia do when she’s so delicate?”
I was determined: “I can help you kill the emperor.”
She probably thought I was being boastful. She just raised an eyebrow and let out a sneer: “You?” She
lowered her head and seemed to think for a moment. “Why don’t you commit yourself to my younger brother?” She expostulated. “If you get two or three years of honor and favor, it will be good for your Yang family in the former court.” “That’s what the emperor thinks,”
I said stubbornly, choking my neck.
She is very clever, naturally understand what I mean, since I have to ask the dog emperor, there must be no outside heart, so he will not be too defensive against me.
Princess Deyang looked into my eyes with a complicated look in her pupils.
She took me into the inner room and gave me a small sachet with the words “scattered with acacia” written on it. “Put it in an incense burner and use it for sex,”
she said. “It will gradually shorten his life, and maybe he will die suddenly.”
Princess Deyang’s eyes were sharp: “You know, even if this matter is exposed, he can’t do anything to me, but you will probably lose your life.”
When she had finished, she gave me another piece of candy. “If you can do this, Jou-chia, I’ll grant you anything you want. You can marry any man you want, or whatever ostentation you want.”
I interrupted. “I want to enter the Imperial College, not just to study the virtues of women and the Four Books and Five Classics, but the art of riding and shooting. You can touch everything. I want to learn what
the princes learned.
She froze for a moment, then laughed out loud and touched the top of my head. “Little girl, it’s a bit like me in those days.”. If I see your sincerity, you will be rewarded.
One month later, I still entered Taixue as a princess.
But I know that I am no longer the person I used to be.
The old emperor didn’t care what I learned in Taixue, and I thought that a little girl like me who was willing to be wronged and seek perfection could not make any splash in his eyes.
He only knows how to sleep in my embroidery bed every night, and I can only endure the nausea while nestling in his arms and pleading:
“My only pleasure is to study. If you give me a position, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get into this school.” Naturally,
he was bewildered by me and said, “What reward should I give Jou-chia for being so obedient?”
I pretended to be hesitant and said, “You know, the Yang family.”
He stretched his eyebrows and eyes, laughed a few times, and pinched my jaw with his big palm. “It’s all up to you.” In the days that
followed, my elder brother, who loved me the most since I was a child, was promoted to the rank of nobility, and even half of the imperial army in the imperial city was in his charge.
In fact, we all know that the ability of the elder brother is only one aspect, and this is not without my pillow wind. Naturally,
my notoriety spread through the palace, and Princess Jou-chia, disregarding the customs, climbed onto the dragon bed.
People think it’s reasonable, but they think I’m shameful.
As a result, I also suffered a lot of cold treatment in Taixue.
I didn’t study hard before, but I started from the foundation at this time. I was out of place among a group of children because of my long age.
Not to mention a lot of rumors about me.
Classmate princes and princesses and aristocratic children, dare not say anything openly, but secretly the words to pickle more will be how pickled.
At this moment, Yin Cheng always protects me a lot.
He had no power and only a false reputation. Naturally, he was bullied miserably. Even in Taixue, there was an absurd remark that father and son shared a wife. I didn’t care about it
from the moment I crossed the Rubicon and promised the old emperor, but I didn’t want to involve him.
During that time, they simply avoided it in public and in private.
And Deyang really did what he said, arranging the only one-to-one teaching for me-those princes can learn the martial arts of riding and shooting, deploying troops. I
still have a lot of struggle and pain in my heart, so I can only resolve it by studying crazily.
One day, when I was reading on a soft couch in the bedroom hall, the old emperor came again.
As he grew older, he always loved my plump figure. Today he sat down next to me and held me in his arms. He pinched my arm and frowned and asked, “Jou-chia seems to have lost some weight.” It is
clear that it is not thin, but the tendons that have been honed in these days. I
didn’t dare to expose it, so I just found an excuse: “I probably water the peach tree in the yard every day.” When he heard this, he was
even more displeased: “You have been pampered since you were a child. How can you do such a thing?” As soon as
a word was spoken, my palace people came forward to ask questions. Dai Dai, the maid in
my palace, has been with me since I was a child, and she is as close as a sister. She has a gentle character and is as beautiful as flowers and jade. I had planned to get through this year or two, so I gave her some silver to go out of the palace.
So seeing that she might be punished today, I could only try my best to stop and persuade her. Unexpectedly,
the dissolute dog emperor took a fancy to her.
But I can not refuse, my plan has been completed more than half, if offended the emperor lost favor, everything will stop halfway, there is no hope.
That night, I served him with Dai Dai.
The next day was a rainy day, and the emperor left the court early.
I didn’t sleep all night, and Dai Dai looked tired, but still did not forget to comfort me.
And my heart is buried with ten thousand anger and disgust.
I gently let Dai Dai go down to rest first, and for the first time I sat on the stone steps in front of the palace gate with my knees in my arms and cried out. The sound of the
rain was so loud that it dripped on the stone slab and made a loud noise, which also gave me a chance to be presumptuous.
I was drenched until an umbrella appeared over my head to shelter me from the rain.
I looked all the way up along the brocade boots, and it was Yin Cheng, dressed in black clothes, with a worried face. I
guess I haven’t seen him for a long time.
He handed me his handkerchief, crouched beside me, patted me on the back, and tried to hold me in his arms. When I
saw him, I was so full of grievance that it overflowed.
But I know we have different identities.
I can’t hurt him.
I pushed him away and entered the palace door without looking back. The moment the palace door was closed.
I clearly heard a sigh.
Grief was not allowed, and I soon swallowed all the bitterness into my throat.
As time went by, I tried my best to absorb knowledge, and at the same time, I tried my best to be tactful, while my brothers were very good, and my second brother also won several battles in the frontier.
Dad has students all over the world, and the Yang family has students everywhere. Now that the trend is getting better, many people have come to win them over.
Imperial Study, I poured a cup of tea for the old emperor, and as he read over the memorial, he said to me in an ambiguous way,
“Jou-chia, now I can directly promote you as an imperial concubine.”
I did not answer, but lay on his shoulder and read his comments.
He is indeed a wise king in political affairs, and when he sees me interested, he occasionally gives me some advice.
He added, “Jou-chia’s interest in these things makes me look at her differently.”
The last sentence is: “Even if I don’t give you a place, you’ll be a princess all your life, and you won’t be able to marry his son again.”
I know that in his eyes, I am just a pet that can be handled at will.
Because of me, the old emperor’s body is indeed getting weaker and weaker, but it is slower than Deyang imagined.
She was a little dissatisfied, but there were many variables, so she was not sure what the reason was.
She didn’t ask much, just gave me more medicine again and again.
And I did not touch the old emperor according to the dosage Deyang said.
If my foundation is not stable, the old emperor will die early.
In such an era of orthodoxy, Deyang is such a woman who cares about orthodoxy. I
‘m afraid I’ll be dismembered by five horses.
I’m not stupid. The only one who can be trusted in
this palace is himself.
But I know that Deyang has no patience.
So in other ways, I should also take action. After my second brother returned to Beijing, I interceded with the old emperor, hoping to see my brother in the palace.
The old emperor agreed.
I thought everything was going my way.
But suddenly there was something that made me almost collapse.
I found out that I was pregnant.
I hid the fact for the time being.
Two brothers, only the second brother is willing to come to see me.
When I first saw my second brother in the palace, the old emperor was suspicious. I didn’t dare to take up too much time to express my feelings and complain to him.
He talked directly about the current situation and the transaction between me and Deyang.
And how I was going to kill the emperor-that very unseemly way.
On that day, I will probably fall into a situation beyond redemption.
If you want the Jedi to survive, you can only be reborn with another identity. This is what I have discussed with Deyang, but I don’t know if she will burn the bridge.
Second brother is a wise man, from the sudden surprise, soon understand, why I am like this, why the Yang family is like this. All he said to me was, “Sui Sui, the eldest princess of Deyang has just asked for a marriage decree, and the husband chosen is the eldest brother.”
But my eldest brother never told me about it in his letters home-what he was selling in his heart.
But I also vaguely guessed the meaning of the long princess.
She needs the help of the Yang family, and this war is a win-win for us.
She saw through my mind. The last card she wanted to hold me was the Yang family. If I didn’t die generously, the whole Yang family would be involved by me.
And I was the only one who sacrificed the chess pieces from beginning to end. With tears in my eyes,
I told him that my second brother had been a military general, and that he had never been worldly. When he heard about my experiences during this time, his heart and eyes were filled with distress: “I won’t let you die like this.”
I nodded.
This is my first life amulet, and the second life amulet is Yin Cheng. After the sudden death of
the old emperor, with the current situation, Deyang can not be in place in one step, it is necessary to support a puppet, and among the princes of the right age, the best control is Yin Cheng, who has no family power.
It’s just a puppet, but it’s better than nothing. I wasn’t sure what he meant to me
at the time.
But at least, I saved their lives. On the night of the
fifteenth, the dog emperor slept in the queen’s palace, while I went to Yin Cheng’s bedroom. On a
cold spring night, I took apart my hair on my temples, and my clothes were only covered with a thin layer.
I knew it was about this time when he came back from sword practice every day, so I pinched the right time and pretended to faint in front of his door.
He had always been left out in the cold in front of the door, but he was not afraid of being seen.
He carried me into the palace.
I didn’t want him to call the Imperial Physician, so I straightened up on the bed and pretended to struggle. I coughed softly in his arms and then hesitated to say, “Ah Cheng.”
He is also a clever, I think Deyang also has ahead of time, he easily guessed the meaning of my coming here this time.
He hesitated for a moment and then said to me, “My little aunt saved my life last year, and naturally I will respond to her.”
But when I looked up at him, there was something in his eyes that I couldn’t understand.
He is very handsome, if he is eight points similar to Zhou Guiren, he is only two points similar to the old emperor, but his eyes are familiar to me.
I don’t know what a normal relationship should be.
But I guess, does he want more?
I sighed, and a white wrist stretched out from my sleeve and gently stroked his face.
I leaned out and kissed him on the lips. He left
at a touch, leaving his face full of shock.
And I went on to the next step-when I was about to untie my coat, he suddenly grabbed my wrist.
I looked up at him, and for some reason, the warmth in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by a deep anger.
He said, “I will keep all my promises. Go away. I don’t want to see you again.”
I froze in place, and my head was a little confused.
But now that the goal has been achieved, I am very obedient, and I am happy not to serve him.
Quickly and neatly, he took to his heels, not forgetting to smile at him and say, “You keep your word.”
His eyes are darker.
The reason why I say it is not decent is that the old emperor will die in my bed. During
this time, the imperial physicians could not find out why the emperor’s pulse condition was weak, so they more strictly controlled his food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and managed every minute and every inch very well.
In order to avoid complications, he gradually did not come to my palace.
In other words, he seldom stepped out of his bedroom. On the day I
made the final decision, I covered myself with the maximum dose of medicine and covered it with one or two layers of his favorite osmanthus fragrance, which contained extremely strong aphrodisiac ingredients.
I took a deep breath and went to the emperor’s bedroom. The big eunuch at the
gate saluted me and said, “Princess, Your Majesty is not feeling well. He won’t see anyone lately.”
The old emperor cherishes his life, even if he has more love, it is difficult to break his psychological defense, but I did not expect that the accident became my last card.
I looked at him calmly and handed him a piece of paper from the Imperial Physician, then dropped a sentence:
“I am pregnant with Your Majesty’s child.”
Since the emperor was old, there had been no happy events in the palace for many years. I also heard that the old emperor was not satisfied with his sons.
“I asked my father-in-law to accommodate me,” I said.
Come to think of it, he did not expect this matter, in the same place in a daze for a moment, or go in to pass.
I finally made it in. When
the old emperor saw me, he was so excited that he got up from his bed and waved to me, “Jou-chia, you come.” “I haven’t had a child for a long time,”
he said, stroking my stomach through his skirt.
I smiled softly. “I hope it’s a princess.”
He said, “Well, all good, all good.”
“If she were a princess,” he murmured, “I think she would have seven points.”
I didn’t know what he meant, and when I questioned him, he just waved his hand and avoided the topic. Soon these are no longer important, in the warm bedroom hall, my body’s aphrodisiac fragrance to play a role, low eyebrows pleasing to the eye, color to the soul, was turned red waves.
Towards the end, he suddenly fell on the bed, I deliberately waited for a wick of incense time, and then test his breath.
It’s over. When
the news came out, the palace was in a mess, and Yin Cheng and Deyang were the first to arrive.
Deyang’s face was full of joy, but when Yin Cheng saw me, his face was very gloomy.
Naturally, I was detained and interrogated by the imperial guards, and I was asked to be beheaded at a later date.
I fell asleep black and blue in the dark dungeon and suffered a lot.
When I woke up again, I found myself sitting in a swaying carriage, next to my second brother.
Opening the curtain of the car, there is an endless spring scenery outside, which I haven’t seen for ten years.
My second brother bought me a small courtyard in a remote part of Kyoto. He said, “Sui Sui, this child..”
I sighed and said, “Keep her.”
Perhaps in the days of crisis for too long, I always find it difficult to relax, some frightened birds, feel that the present short calm will soon be broken.
This child may still have a role.
Besides, even if I want to, when I do not want to be close to the past life, I do not want to marry again, with a child to accompany, at least not lonely. After
settling down, I can still hear the news of some “noble people” occasionally. It is said that under the operation of Deyang, Yin Cheng successfully proclaimed herself emperor, and she also realized her wish to rule from behind the curtain every day.
The Yang family also has the right.
But Big Brother never came to me. The
clouds drifted farther and farther away, and the past slowly pulled away from me like a gust of wind.
But after all, it’s only been two or three months, and I still have palpitations when I dream in the middle of the night.
When Deyang appeared in my residence again, I was not very shocked, but I regretted why she came so early, and I had not lived a quiet life enough.
She said, “I still need you.”
Actually, I need my child. As
I looked at her, the corners of my mouth twitched slightly: “Is it Yin Cheng who is not obedient?”
She smiled, then came over and touched the top of my head. “Jou-chia is really clever.”. To tell you the truth, I’m a little reluctant to touch you. Help me once more, and this time I will not harm you.
I shook off her hand. “My name is Yang Shi-sui.”
Jou-chia has been gathering dust for a long time, and I hate this title.
She was not angry, and knowing that I could not resist, she took me back to the palace.
I became the woman of the new emperor, the concubine.
Yin Cheng probably also knew about this. The first night I entered the palace, he came to my room with a sullen face. I
still gave him a good-looking smile as I had done in the past.
He said, “Yang Shi-sui, you are mine.”
I looked at him with innocent eyes and said, “What woman in the world is not your Majesty’s?” Instead of undressing me,
he kissed me like a storm.
Until I suffocated, until some blood oozed from the corners of my lips.
He said, “Don’t play dumb.” The way
he looks at me, he still looks at everything.
I hate that look.
Yin Cheng came to see me from time to time and left in a strange mood. Later, when
I was in the palace, I often accompanied the Empress Dowager Zhou. She was generous and had an old friend with me, so she loved me very much.
But the enemy road is narrow, even if I am in the Zhou Empress Dowager’s place, also often can see him. At
first it was a little puzzling, but later, when he realized what he was thinking, he felt a little cute again.
In winter, on the second day of the New Year’s Day, I still dined at the Empress Dowager’s Palace. In the middle of the
meal, he came in without giving me a look, so he lifted his robe and sat down beside me. My
heart was calm and I continued to eat.
Seeing me react in this way, he was a little unhappy. He smiled and said, “Concubine Shi has a good plan. She stays with her mother all day. She wants to attract more of my attention in this way, but it makes me upset for no reason.”
I stood up and said, “Shall I go?”
He: “Sit down. Who let you go?”
I There was some awkwardness at the
scene. He coughed once or twice and then explained, “What’s it like to kick you out on New Year’s Day? Besides, my mother likes to be lively, so she allowed you to be so careful.” I don’t know
whose mind it is, and I’m a little speechless. Empress Dowager
Zhou saw through the undercurrent between us, laughed twice on the side, called the servant to bring some wine, and made the scene for him. Yin Cheng drank a lot
that day, but when we left side by side, he uncharacteristically wanted to stay in my palace.
As the baby in my belly grew bigger and bigger, my body became more and more inconvenient, and it was not comfortable to lie flat on the small bed with him.
Perhaps it was the wine, perhaps the night was too quiet, or perhaps the atmosphere at the banquet today was too much like that of an ordinary family. We all relaxed a little, and I complained to him, “If you weren’t here, it wouldn’t be so crowded.”
He turned to look at me, his eyes burning like obsidian in the dark night. “If only I didn’t have this child, little aunt.”
I chuckled and answered, “Ah Cheng, without this child, I wouldn’t be alive today, and you wouldn’t have had more time to prepare.”
Yes, everything is wrong, but everything is just right.
His eyes were clear, and it was clear that he was not very drunk: “What benefits did Deyang give you? Did it make you the queen mother?”
I shook my head.
He put his arm around my shoulder. “If you had given birth to a princess, she wouldn’t have kept you.”. She’s been in contact with the Thirteen Emperor’s younger brother recently, and I’m afraid that’s another target for her. “If I had given birth to a prince, she wouldn’t have kept me,”
I said lightly.
He fixed his eyes on me and said, “My little aunt is really clever, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to kill my father all by herself.”
It was not my honor, but the process made me feel very humiliated. I fought back the feeling of nausea and said to him, “So it’s time for me to surrender to Your Majesty.”
In fact, I didn’t do nothing during this period.
Deyang has been watching me for fear that I will get rid of the baby in my stomach, so only in the queen mother here, the surveillance can be relaxed.
In fact, before my second brother left, I had already written a letter with him about what might happen later. In
about half a month, he will be back with the troops on the border.
Yin Cheng looked a little surprised. He asked me what I wanted.
I said, “I want to keep the baby.”
She is five or six months old, and I went to see the doctor specially. She is a girl.
I have a lot of affection for this daughter.
I want her to be born safe.
And the reason why the second brother is willing to come back to participate in the palace change is not all because of me.
Since Deyang married his eldest brother, he wanted to break up the Yang family and seize all the power to his eldest brother.
As a result, he had less and less food and subsidies at the border, and the soldiers did not have enough to eat and wear warm clothes.
He doesn’t care who the head of the country is, but he cares about the lives of his men and the country.
And his teacher is famous, come back with is Yin Cheng’s secret order, this also thanks to the queen mother of Zhou bridge pull strings.
Deyang’s forces have not yet penetrated the place, so it is also very hidden along the way, and has not been discovered by his minions. There must be a bloody battle
this time.
Yin Cheng smiled, “My secret order?”? You will act first and ask questions later.
He hugged me. “Go to sleep.” On the day of the
07
Palace Change, I was taken into the Empress Dowager’s Palace early and protected by a good guard.
Outside came the sound of fighting through the sky, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
It’s just that these small soldiers who are used to being idle on weekdays in the capital of the country can’t compare with the border soldiers who have been fighting all the year round.
The result is naturally Yin Chengsheng.
I waited anxiously in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, but did not wait for Yin Cheng’s people to come over, but first saw the blood-stained Deyang with many imperial guards.
Deyang laughed wildly. “As long as we catch you and Yin Cheng still has something in our hands, we haven’t lost yet.” The
two groups of people fought equally, and neither of them gained the upper hand.
Taking advantage of the chaos, I saw Deyang coming towards me. I was a little nervous and took out the dagger from my waist.
I didn’t learn martial arts in vain for so long, and I’m waiting for such an opportunity today.
But when I restrained her with two or three strokes, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.
Blood oozed from under the skirt.
I let go of her and took two steps back. For the first time in my life, I was afraid. “Te-yang, what have you done to my child?”
She seemed to be stupefied for a moment, and then she looked up to the sky and laughed. “It’s all God’s will, Yang Shi-sui. You’ve done a lot of evil, and you’re doomed to be punished by God.”. Your children will go with you to hell.
I can’t believe it. Seeing that
she wanted to take advantage of the situation and attack again, I tried my last bit of strength to stab the dagger into Deyang’s chest.
I have studied medicine, and I know where the fatal point of human beings is. If this knife goes down, she will probably be at the end of the road.
My child is going to hell, so join me.
Consciousness was pulled away a little bit, and at the last moment before I fainted, the hazy scene in front of me was the soldiers covered with blood, the figure of Yin Cheng running over, and his anxious eyes.
He shouted in my ear, “Yang Shi-sui!”
It’s noisy. When I woke up
again, I did not know how many days had passed, and after experiencing the pain of losing my daughter, many memories were somewhat blurred.
I only remember my eldest brother kneeling in the hall, but still gnashing his teeth, calling me a temptress, two generations of emperors and concubines, shaking the foundation of the country. Pointing at my nose,
he cursed: “The Yang family has been noble for generations. How come you are the only daughter?”
But if it wasn’t for me, how could he be what he is today.
But my mind is also different, and it seems that these gossip and abuse can no longer affect me.
In fact, think carefully, if I am not what I am today, what can I do, marry a dignitary, or be buried for the first emperor?
Women in this age, can only be like this. After the
second brother slapped the eldest brother, he did not hand in the tiger amulet, but solemnly put it in my hand. Now the situation is not stable. I begged him not to go back to the border for the time being, but to stay in the capital. The moment I held the
tiger charm in my hand, I suddenly felt the joy of power.
I can achieve anything I want to achieve, I want all the daughters in the world can do like me, can control their own destiny.
Yin Cheng said that night, “If this is done, I will make you queen.”
He probably didn’t think that after thousands of sails, what I want to be is not a queen, but a queen.
08
There are jackals and wolves before and tigers and leopards after. I
didn’t ask for the position of queen, I just asked for the title of Chen.
Back to Luanzhuancui, Fujing Xiangchen, I hope to let the world understand who is the master of the world now. The art of war
I learned in primary school and the way of governing the country I learned from the old emperor finally came in handy.
I assisted the government for three years and opened the civil and military imperial examinations for women. The law was also amended to double the penalty for any act of insulting a woman.
Women do not have to live in purdah, do not have to do anything in public, can also be in business.
People all say that I am disorderly, but the second brother supports me, the world’s military power in hand, they can’t help me.
And Yin Cheng himself did not refuse, did not have any strange ideas about me, but more and more like to stick to me.
But I don’t like this, because I find that I am also interested in him.
But who knows what the emperor’s mind is like.
I can’t bet. I can’t get emotional.
Perhaps every day in the operation of these conspiracies, the daily spirit is tense, I feel a little tired.
Years of double ten, is already two imperial concubines, and killed two masters of the world, want to put in any place, can be regarded as ruthless. It’s the memorial day of my unborn daughter
again, and I suddenly want to take a break for a while.
I said to Yin Cheng, “I want to go out of the palace to have a rest and change my mood.” There was an unspeakable look in
Yin Cheng’s eyes, and he said earnestly, “Sui Sui, I’m afraid you won’t be safe outside.”
I buried it in his chest and said to him, “Ah Cheng, isn’t this a good time to kill me?”
Yin Cheng sighed, “I’ve never thought of that before.”
I looked up at him, and his eyes were so sincere that he seemed to have nothing to hide.
I twirled my fingers around the broken hair on his chest. “You are the emperor, and you are pressed by me every day. What’s the matter?”
He said, “I am only Ah Cheng to my little aunt.”
I still went out of the palace, set up a shop in the downtown area, opened a teahouse, and let Dai Dai be the shopkeeper.
I am a rich and idle man. That’s how Gu Yu and
I got to know each other.
At that time, it was a hot summer, and I sat down at a table with a big pot of herbal tea on it. After I
lost my son, I practiced martial arts a lot less in order to raise my body. I was already weak and soft. At this time, I leaned there more like a charming woman.
Naturally, some undiscerning Dengtuzi came to molest him.
The man said something that was not clean, and when I reached out my hand, I turned the handle of the fan and said
, “What are you doing? How can you do this at the foot of the emperor?” Half of
my hand hanging in the air was lowered, and both I and the disciple looked in the direction of the source of the sound. There stood a commoner scholar, who was not very old, but very comely.
There are three or four points like Yin Cheng.
In fact, I am not afraid, Yin Chengzao in the surrounding a lot of dark guard layout to protect me, I simply do not need to make a move.
And just as I was about to say something, the scholar continued to be righteous and awe-inspiring: “I go to the law. Those who insult women will be punished twice as much as usual. I will report directly to the officials and send you to prison.”
I’m a little surprised.
I know that everyone rejects these laws, but I didn’t expect that there are such supportive supporters among the people.
This ordinary man suddenly became a little more interesting in my eyes.
At this time, Dai Dai came out from the back kitchen, waved her hand, and many guards came out to carry the disciples away.
I got up and went to the scholar. “My little girl,” I said with a slight salute.
The scholar looked at my face and blushed. He returned a salute: “Young man, Gu Yu.”
09
The man’s mind is actually very obvious can be seen through-the
drunken man’s intention is not wine, from his repeated visits to the teahouse will know. There are so many people who love me in
this world. He is not the first one, and he will certainly not be the last one.
But he looked like Yin Cheng and could coax people, so I was happy to play some romantic tricks with him and help him with some things from time to time-from tea in the shop, to cakes and meals on the street, to some money.
I am no longer a young girl in love, but he seems to be a young man in love.
So to deal with him, they only use a few casual eyes, if there is no, suddenly warm and cold.
He had probably never seen a girl like me, and finally he couldn’t help it. One day, while there were few people in the shop, he approached me.
Then he bowed to me and said, “The young man has been in love with his mother for a long time.”
And I was looking through the letters sent by Yin Cheng. Recently, Northern Xinjiang had lost several games in a row, and I was a little anxious.
I raised my eyelids and asked with a half-smile, “So?”
His face turned red. “When you’re in high school, you must ask for a wife.”
I nodded to show that I knew, but I wondered, “Why wait for the day of high school?”
A lot of things, waiting and waiting will be gone, young people probably do not know, timing is the most important.
I followed him home.
But even if we were alone, nothing happened to us.
Gu Yu, observing the Confucian etiquette of the scholar, said that the ceremony of the same room must wait until the wedding day. I
don’t care. I just read in a quiet place.
He was slightly embarrassed, as if he was afraid that I would care about the house.
I smiled and told him that everything was only temporary and that it was not important to be trapped by you now.
He nodded vaguely, and his eyes were more infatuated with me.
I stayed at Gu Yu’s house these days. Although I didn’t have a maid, I was carefree.
He was busy with the exam, but he always helped me with tea and books, and often looked at my eyes in order to make me happy.
Time is also quiet.
Only one day, when the informant in the palace passed the memorial, he told me that Your Majesty seemed to want to accept the harem. My hand as I
took the memorial stood in the air for a moment, and my heart beat a little. But then it was as usual. I laughed and said, “It really should be like this. As the ruler of the world, there is no reason not to have children.”
I told her that if there was any new news, she would pass it on to me and let me check which family it was.
After a few days of new news has come, Yin Cheng then sealed Zhang Taiwei eldest daughter Zhang Qingyi for Shu Fei, accompanied by around every day.
He does things neatly. I couldn’t
tell what it was like in my heart, so I just let her not communicate these trifles in the future, but just give me the business she was going to deal with. I
soon lost interest in Gu Yu.
In other words, I have little interest in the affairs of the world.
With the word “love”, whether it is family or love, I have lost what I have, and I can’t get what I want, so I gradually look more open.
It’s better to shift all your thoughts to a place where you can control them and help a group of people like me.
So on the day Gu Yu went to see the list, I left him a lot of gold and silver in advance, and when I packed up my things and planned to leave,
I heard a message from my neighbor’s aunt.
Boy, you’re one step ahead of me! After
returning to the palace, life is the same as before.
Although I don’t know whether it’s true or not, Yin Cheng always has to take care of me, so at night, he spends half of his time here and half of his time at Shufei’s place. I’ve seen
the princess a few times.
At that time, she and Yin Cheng were enjoying flowers in the Imperial Garden.
The little girl was dressed in yellow, her face was innocent and lovely, and her smile was very innocent, which matched the flowers very well. It’s a huge contrast to
me.
I turned a corner and met the two of them head-on. Yin Cheng looked at me with a little interest in his expression.
Qingyi, on the other hand, froze for a moment. When I didn’t know whether her attitude was enemy or friend, she trotted first, with a happy look on her face. She said that she had admired me for a long time, and that she really lived up to her imagination when she saw her true face today.
Yin Cheng is full of question marks.
Later, when the little girl came to my palace for tea, she told me secretly, Your Majesty said that the Empress Chen was very fierce and vicious, and would eat people. So try not to touch me, and be very careful when you see me.
She murmured to herself, “But I have also heard of the deeds of the Empress. She is obviously very powerful. She should be a model for our generation.” What is
Yin Cheng’s plan to smear me like this and expect me to fight with her?
When Yin Cheng comes over next time, I will sell Qingyi clean and return the original words to him intact.
Yin Cheng’s face was livid. “Why does she tell you everything?”
I laughed. Ah Cheng, are you so afraid of me bullying her? You know, I’ve always been the best to a girl.
He didn’t speak.
I gently stroked his tightly pressed lips. “Ah Cheng, I want to have a baby.”
His gloomy eyes suddenly rippled with a touch of joy, and then he wanted to hold me down and do that romantic thing.
I said, “You and Shu Fei.” The flame in
his eyes went out in an instant, and he shook off my hand and left.
I sighed in the same place.
As the affairs of the DPRK and China have been on the right track, after the peace of the four seas, in fact, I don’t need to worry about many things any more.
But I know that this is only a short buffer period, but many reforms have not been promoted, or they are contrary to each other. And this resistance can not be overcome overnight, but after all, it has injected most of my efforts, and I do not want it to end like this. After
the Qionglin banquet, I still went to see Gu Yu once. He told me that the reason why he abandoned his wife at that time was that he did not want to live a life of looking up to me any more. He needed a wife who could run the house for him and add fragrance to his red sleeves.
So, in fact, Gu Yu is still a traditional man in his bones. How can it be so easy to change the set of our ancestors for so many years.
He could never understand the law, but felt that those in power were like this, so he had to cater to it.
The method doesn’t matter, the result is the most important.
So I want power to be handed down from generation to generation, and I want power to be in the hands of girls forever.
So I need a child to succeed me, and I need a child to succeed me who is raised by me.
But after the last abortion, I had no fertility and could only hope that a little princess would come to me from other ways.
It seemed to be the reward of my miserable life. After I prayed and offered incense for half a year, Shu Fei was pregnant with an heir.
I was overjoyed. Order someone to take good care of it.
A few months later, I was even happier to learn that it was a girl. I am concerned about her day by day, and Shufei is more and more dependent on me. Inseparable
, Yin Cheng was even more jealous.
This is probably contrary to what he thought at first, but Yin Cheng still doesn’t understand me. Even if he discovers my affection, jealousy and backyard fire will never happen to me.
The eldest princess was named Yin Ziwei.
Ziwei is Sanyuan Emperor Star.
The eldest princess was named Yin Ziwei. I forced Yin Cheng to make Qingyi the queen and Ziwei the empress Dowager.
Then according to the training of that year, I copied it to Ziwei bit by bit. I
even let her get involved in some dangerous incidents, such as the suppression of mountain bandits, such as the handling of cases. Indeed,
she lived up to my careful instruction, and gradually grew up to be a valiant girl, not inferior to a man, and in some political views, she even had more ideas than I and Yin Cheng.
But my health is getting worse and worse. After more than
30 years of hard work, I was once swept by illness, and I also vaguely felt that my time was coming.
In those last days, I picked a time when I was most awake. Redeploy the forces of the imperial army, and then solemnly hand over the tiger amulet to Ziwei, hoping that she can inherit my legacy.
The power to turn the world around was transferred to her again.
She knelt down and bowed to me for a long time. Although Yin Cheng and
I had been at loggerheads for many years, this was the first time we had broken up with him, and the first time he had pointed a sword at me.
He asked me, “Yang Shi-sui, what on earth are you going to do?”.
I had long expected this day, and my voice was calm: “You have no other children, so what if I give Ziwei?”? Besides, it’s not like I didn’t give in. Ziwei’s name is Yin, isn’t it? His
eyes were full of love and hate, and he finally put down his sword and tried to play the emotional card with me: “Women can’t bear the burden. Once I protect you, when you and I are 100 years old, how will Ziwei go for the rest of her life? Who can protect her? You’ve seen her grow up, and don’t you feel bad at all?”.
I laughed. “Why do you want someone to protect you? If she can’t afford it, I’ll accept it.”
“If there is such a day, I will pretend that I have never lived, but as long as there is the Yang family, you will never be able to attack Ziwei.”
He threw his sword in front of me and left angrily.
This is probably the last time I see Yin Cheng in my life. In the
last days, I could not get up from the bed, only the queen sat beside my bed every day, holding my weak hand, tears streaming down her face. A smile appeared on
my pale face. “Why is Qingyi still like a child?”
She said, “My -year-old sister has been working too hard these years.”
She told me that your majesty was not a cruel man. I was getting worse and worse, and I was bedridden. He often came to see me these days, but he didn’t want to face me directly. He stood outside the door for a long time every day.
She sobbed and asked me, “Actually, my sister likes Your Majesty, too.”
I gave a wry smile. I have deep feelings for Yin Cheng naturally, but I can’t cross that knot all my life.
People are dying, many things look light, they always want to talk about it.
I asked her, “Do you know why I did this to him?”
She nodded.
I think it’s just because of the power dispute.
I said, “Actually, I had a child at first, the same as the first emperor’s. If she could be born, I think she would be like Ziwei, a beautiful little princess.”
My voice trailed off. “But she was killed by Your Majesty.”
Her eyes were full of surprise.
In fact, I found out early that the child’s death had nothing to do with Deyang, but Yin Cheng sent Dai Dai to do it on that day, trying to get rid of the relationship, so that I would not think much about it.
Even if I put all my eggs in one basket to support him, even if I only have a princess in my belly. But
he still couldn’t let it go.
It was probably because the baby kept my blood, and he was worried about another witch who would bring disaster to the country and the people.
Or did he feel that this was evidence of my affair with his father, that it was dirty, that it was contrary to royal orthodoxy.
I don’t know, and I’m too lazy to argue with him. How can I do more after the theory.
My heart died at that moment.
From now on, no one will be with me.
The stargazer said, “On the day of my death, the emperor star fell from the sky.”. On the last night before I
died, I seemed to return to the light, but I was very energetic and walked out of the door with my sick body. The willow tree in the
yard was swaying in the wind, and beside it was a banyan tree planted by Ziwei for me.
It’s a pity that I have to leave before I can rest in the shade.
The figure under the banyan tree is also very familiar to me. It is Yin Cheng.
He refused to say another word to me until he died.
I sit on the stone steps, looking up at the sky, in fact, if you ask me how my life is, do I regret or not.
Maybe at every turn before, I could choose to marry my sweetheart like an ordinary little girl, and my sweetheart was close at hand at that time, and it was Yin Cheng who was in love with me. I have been in love with him for more than thirty years
from the beginning of love to not seeing each other.
But after all, there is a deep gap between us. I didn’t tell him my mind
until I died.
All right, people come to this world once, but break off for decades, do not have to stick to love, if you can do this, probably not in vain this life.
And every difficult road always needs a pathfinder in the front, with her sacrifice in exchange for a breath of fire. It’s me
on this road.
I hope that from generation to generation, after a hundred or a thousand years, the wildfire will start a prairie fire and eventually become a new atmosphere.
All women can stand up, all women can walk out of the boudoir.
This wider world is your arena.
