Lock Qianqiu
Fanghua Complaint: Fireworks are easy to be cold. For whom do I bow
? When I entered the palace, I was only 14 years old. The person who
should have entered the palace was not me, but my elder sister. Unfortunately, the elder sister accidentally fell into the water, caught a cold and fell ill in bed.
My father and the eldest lady loved my sister dearly, so they sent me, the second young lady in the unloved aunt’s room, to the palace. Before
entering the palace, Mammy taught me a lot of rules after entering the palace, and I wrote them down by heart. I remember
one thing very clearly. Mammy said that if you want to live safely in the harem, you should put away your crooked mind and not compete for favor, let alone try to figure out the holy will easily. If you live in a muddle, don’t take everything seriously. My aunt, who
taught me etiquette, told me, “When you enter the palace, you are the emperor’s people. You have to follow the wishes of the emperor and the empress. When you see a high-ranking empress, you have to bow your head and salute first.” On the day of the
draft, I only had a somewhat dilapidated carriage to use, and a few servants around the girl came to see me off.
I lifted the curtain and looked at the gate of the house. I wanted to see more. Maybe I remembered it in my heart. On the day of the
draft, the sun was just right.
I met Qi Wutong, a sister who grew up together. She recommended herself to enter the palace. She was afraid that I would be too lonely to enter the palace alone. I
was chosen by the emperor to be a talented person. I was given to live in Jiangxuexuan, Changxin Palace. Ning Guifei lived in the main hall. Before entering the palace, I heard Mammy say that Ning Guifei was arrogant and difficult to get along with. On the first day of
moving into the Bower of Crimson Snow, I made some cakes and took the initiative to visit Ning Guifei.
Outside the door, she announced to Aunt Sun, who was in charge. She nodded and said indifferently, “Who is this talented person? Just wait a moment.”
After that, Aunt Sun turned to tell Concubine Ning. As I waited, I felt a little ill at ease outside the door. I was weighing what I should say after I went in when a soft and lazy voice came from the room. “Tell her to come in.” I
kept my head down as I walked forward. When I got to Concubine Ning, I made a formal salute and said, “I made some cakes for the empress. I wonder if they will suit her appetite.”
Ning Guifei looked up and down at me and glanced at Aunt Sun, who came forward to take the food box from my maid. After
opening the food box, Ning Guifei broke off a small piece in her mouth and tasted it carefully for a long time. When
Ning finished, she took a sip from her cup and put it down gently. “It tastes pretty good,” she said. “It melts in your mouth and still has a hint of sweetness, but at the end of the meal you can taste the bitter taste of almonds. Are almonds a little superfluous?”. Just as
I was about to speak, Ning Guifei held up the cake on her plate and squinted at me. “The people in this palace come and go in different shapes and colors. They are often beautiful at the beginning, but then they are in decline.” After
saying this, Ning added some tea leaves to her tea. “It’s a pleasure to be able to enjoy tea. Don’t you think so? What kind of talent is there?”
I seemed to understand the implication of Ning Guifei’s words, and I replied, “Yes, I understand.”
“My concubine has retired first.”
Ning Guifei waved her hand, and as I turned to leave, Ning Guifei’s voice came from behind me, “Eat more sweet food, don’t put almonds in it.”
“Yes.” I turned back. On the way
back to the Bower of Crimson Snow, Chih-lan, the maid beside me, couldn’t help but ask me, “talented people, what did the imperial concubine just say?” Without stopping,
I said in a deep voice, “Let me..” Don’t make trouble.
As early as before entering the palace, I had heard that the relationship between the emperor and the queen had been as good as a day for ten years. The emperor was dignified to outsiders, but always gentle to his queen. The empress was also decent and generous. The empress never participated in the struggle of the harem, nor did she care how many concubines the emperor had accepted. She always chose herself clean, teased the birds in her spare time, and went to the palaces to enjoy the flowers and scenery when she was interested. There was never a quarrel between
them.
Even if the emperor snubbed which concubine, the empress would find time to ask the emperor, and bluntly asked the emperor to share the rain and dew.
Of course, these are just the rumors I have heard. Tomorrow, the new concubines will pay their respects to the empress together. As soon as
I had settled down in my own place, the figure of a maid of honor appeared faintly outside the Bower of Crimson Snow. With the introduction of the palace maid, my sister Qi Wutong came into view. She had a good appearance, willow leaves and curved eyebrows, and her facial features were exquisite and exquisite. Her father was Taichang Shaoqing Qi Guoguang, who was given the title of beauty as soon as she entered the palace.
Qi Wutong, as free and easy as ever, stepped directly into the house, looked around, saw me, and said, “Is your yard so deserted?”
I thought about it, including the yard and the house, a total of five maids, in addition to two small eunuchs. Too many
people but upset, Zhilan is to follow me into the palace, can be regarded as a close available person, no matter how many people beside it is useless, enough to command.
I put down the book in my hand and got up to meet her. There was a gentle smile on his lips. “There are already enough people. Is everything all right?”? Are you used to moving to the palace?
Qi Wutong naturally found a place to sit down and said with a smile, “Everything is fine, but I’m worried about you.” Then Qi Wutong lowered his voice again.
“Did she embarrass you?”
I shook my head and Qi Wutong breathed a sigh of relief. Come to think of it, the emperor is also concerned about Qi Wutong, not only let her live alone in the Zhaoyang Palace, large and small rewards are constantly.
It makes me a little envious. The
next day, I went to Palace of Earthly Tranquility to pay my respects to the empress. Along the way, I saw many strange faces. Except for a few old people introduced by Mammy, the rest were all new people who had been selected to enter the palace together a year after the emperor ascended the throne. After
arriving at the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, Ning Guifei sat aside, next to her was Chunfei Empress, sitting in front of the empress was Rongfei Empress, sitting beside Rongfei Empress was Lu Zhaoyi.
The empress looked kind and kind, and after we saluted, she quickly let us sit down. It is also said that after arriving at the palace, we are all sisters, so that we can support each other, respect and love each other and so on. As I
listened to the empress, I tried not to yawn. I was so sleepy. Did the concubines in the palace get up so early every day to pay their respects? Every day.
Ning Guifei couldn’t help staring at me, and I immediately lost my sleepiness and sat up upright. I also listened without a word to what
the empress said later, and finally I heard, “There’s nothing to do, so let’s all disperse.” On the way
back, although Qi Wutong was not on the way, he still insisted on accompanying me back to the Bower of Crimson Snow. I
had not gone far when a figure dressed in light green flashed before my eyes. Before I could get a clear picture of her appearance, Chi Wutong opened his mouth and said, “That’s Wanmei. I met her on the day of the talent show. I wanted to talk to her, but she didn’t even pay attention to me.” After
returning to the Bower of Crimson Snow, I happened to hear the ladies of the court mention that the beauty was living with the Empress Rong in the Huaqing Palace.
Rong Fei Empress is a person who is at peace with the world. In the originally quiet palace, an arrogant and rude person was born. Rong Fei Empress also mentioned some beautiful women in her words, but all of them had no effect. A few days after
Wan Meiren was summoned to bed, the emperor promoted her to Wan Jieyu.
The only thing that could make her feel some awe in the whole six palaces was the empress and the emperor? My heart is full of doubts about this person, only sighing that death is not long-term.
A few days later, Qi Wutong and I went to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility to pay our respects. I accidentally saw Wan Jieyu. Her dress was different from the past. She wore a pale yellow dress, embroidered with pear flowers at the neckline, embroidered with patterns of different sizes on her body, and several silver hairpins on her head. It turned out to be more gorgeous than imperial concubine beside her.
The empress does not change the gentle face of the past, reminding us to serve the emperor wholeheartedly and spread branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible.
Speaking of it, there were only two princes among the emperor’s children. The eldest prince was born to Chun Fei, the second prince was born to Lu Zhaoyi, and there was only one princess, who was born to the empress. She was only six years old.
Today’s emperor is only twenty-seven years old, and he is in his prime. On the way
back to the bedroom, I was with Ning Guifei, and Qi Wutong followed me. “There was a stage set up in the palace a few days ago,” Ning said. “When I’m free, I can take you two to see a play.” Together with Qi Wutong,
I said, “Yes, Empress.”
Not surprisingly, Wan Jieyu would still walk in front of us. I glanced at the imperial concubine and felt her face change slightly, as if she was a little unhappy. Holding me by the side,
Ning Guifei raised her voice and said, “You tell me that the pear blossoms in the palace have all withered overnight before they have been appreciated for a few days. It’s a pity that they have gone for nothing.”
Wan Jieyu stopped, looked down at the embroidery on her clothes, looked back at Ning Guifei, and turned to Ning Guifei.
She made a slight salute to Concubine Ning and said, “The empress doesn’t know that although the flowering period of pear blossoms is short, it is a thousand times better than that of pear blossoms without flowering period.”. Pear blossoms are a delight to the eye, don’t you think, Empress?
Ning Guifei pulled the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with displeasure, showing some sympathy. “When a hundred flowers blossom, who will be the winner?”. I think it’s better not to have a flowering period. In
my heart can not help but sigh Wan Jieyu temperament is too strong, just that words openly and secretly said that Ning Guifei old pearl yellow.
But it’s never good to be too strong.
Soon after, my idea was confirmed. But I didn’t expect Wan Jieyu’s disposal to come so soon.
According to what the imperial concubine said, Wan Jieyu’s father, Zhongshu Shilang, Lord Yan, was found to have committed many crimes of colluding with foreign parties. This was strange, but it was also expected.
Rong Fei looks like a weak role, but her father is not. Her father has been an official for more than 20 years as an imperial censor. Wan Jieyu’s father had just been promoted. Concu
bine Ning invited me to have tea with her, thinking it was just a way to pass the time while chatting. Wan Jieyu’s father was imprisoned, and the whole family did not come to a good end. Wan Jieyu was also demoted to a commoner. Some people can’t be offended, and the emperor doesn’t like people who are too aggressive. He likes everyone by his own interest.
I nodded in ignorance, and for the first time I felt that the former court and the harem were closely related. The emperor did not like too much publicity of the concubines, and naturally did not like publicity of the officials.
The truth is interlinked. Imperial grace is the dream of many people, but it is also a hot potato. It was three months later that
the emperor called me to bed. It was the first time I saw him. I shrank in the quilt with only my eyes exposed. When I heard footsteps, I slowly pulled down the quilt.
The emperor, however, looked very calm. He sat down on the edge of the bed, spread his hands on his knees, and said indifferently, “What’s your name?”
Perhaps out of fear, I whispered back, “Your Majesty, my name is Ho Chih-rou.”
He is not quite the same as I imagined, he is not as dignified as described, he speaks very easy-going, for a moment I seem to feel that the person in front of me is not the emperor. But the husband who can sleep with me and spend my whole life with me.
Of course, this is just a delusion. The emperor has the empress and the concubines of the six palaces of the East and the West. The number of times I have seen the emperor since
that bedtime can be counted on one’s fingers. The emperor has just ascended the throne and has to deal with many government affairs. Occasionally, when she was free, she would go to see the empress and accompany her to the Imperial Garden to enjoy flowers and fish.
With the presence of the empress, each palace would not have the idea of competing for favor, because the number of times the emperor went to summon someone to sleep was almost the same. In our
spare time, most of our concubines in the harem spent their time playing cards and watching plays.
Lu Zhaoyi and Ning Guifei have been like sisters since they were in the palace. When they arrived at the palace, Lu Zhaoyi would come to the Changxin Palace every three or five times.
Said to see Ning Guifei, actually called the imperial concubine and me, and Qi Wutong just four people together a table to play cards.
Lu Chao-yi also brought the second prince with him, and would tease him by saying, “When Ah Niang is old, why don’t you take over her class and come here to play cards?”
The second prince doesn’t understand. He’s only two years old.
Ning Guifei is a craftsman. In the past, the clothes and trousers of the two princes were sewn by herself. Every time I went to the main hall to see the imperial concubine, she was either drinking tea or making children’s clothes.
Most of the time, I saw her sew so carefully that I thought she had a child in a trance.
Ning Guifei is just twenty-five years old this year. She was married to the imperial concubine when the emperor was still a prince. Her father was not in the capital all the year round. He was a general who assisted the emperor all the way. He was in a high position.
Ning Guifei’s favor was inferior to that of the empress, and the emperor often called Ning Guifei to accompany her. She has been serving the emperor for eight years since she entered the palace at the age of seventeen.
But she’s never been pregnant. After getting familiar
with Ning Guifei, she would talk about the past in the palace. Then I thought, this is the friendship between women playing cards.
Chih-rou, I had a miscarriage when I was in the palace. Every day I drank the tocolytic medicine that the emperor had ordered people to prepare. At that time, ah, my belly was already five months old. I waited and waited and waited for this child to be born safely, but he and I have only been in love for six months.
“From then on, I had already figured it out. I knew the truth about the tocolytic medicine, and I understood what the emperor was thinking.” Ning Guifei’s eyes were red, but the stitches in her hands did not stop. “The emperor still has some affection for me, mostly because he feels guilty.”
I stared blankly at Ning Guifei and murmured, “Empress, your eyes are sore..” Don’t sew it, or you’ll hurt your eyes. Concu
bine Ning raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile. “I learned this craft in the palace.”. Lu Yin-mei is a girl who loves people. Ever since her baby was born, she has been carrying it to my room all day, saying that she will recognize me as her godmother.
I whispered to the imperial concubine, “Empress, have you ever blamed the emperor?”
Ning Guifei shook her head. She put down her work and looked at the swaying apricot trees outside. “It’s been so long, it’s been forgotten.”
Gradually, playing cards can no longer satisfy us women in the palace. Lu Zhaoyi brought the talented people in her palace to play with us. The talented people can make up stories and sing songs.
In a flash, I felt that I had found a treasure. Talented people put our small characters into the script to play the leading role. In the script, “we” will all find a good husband. In the
script, I met a swordsman, a Tong met a talented student, the small print of the imperial concubine was Yunyun, and the talented person arranged her to be the embroidery lady of the first embroidery workshop in the world, and married the businessman of the shop next door.
Lu Chao-yi was a little worried. “Hurry up and write. There’s still me. There’s still me.”
The talented man opened a new story-telling book. The heroine in the new story-telling book was Meier. Meier in the story-telling book was a flower-picking girl. On her way to sell flowers, she met a white-faced and handsome herbalist in a medicine shop. The flower-picking girl sent flowers to the herbalist every day. The herbalist took a look at Meier on the pretext of seeing a doctor for the villagers. The two of them looked at each other.
Lu Zhaoyi held her own words and did not let go, threatening that the words written to her by a talented person were happier than ours, and that she would even dream of sleeping at night. Qi Wutong and
I were a little unwilling, dragging the talented person to ask her to write a better story for us. The talented man rubbed his fingers, and we had to give all the beautiful jewelry to the talented man, so that I could meet a better husband in the next script. The script in
the Changxin Palace had been passed on to the Rong Fei Niangniang Palace. The Rong Fei Niangniang specially chose beautiful hairpins and snacks to please the talented people and asked them to make up a good story for her. In a
short period of one month, Liangcai became a celebrity in the harem. After Ning Guifei became familiar with everyone, she would not only embroider some clothes worn by the two princes, but also make handkerchiefs and dresses for us.
I think there should be two shops in the palace, the tailor shop of the imperial concubine and the shop of the talented people. The days in
the harem passed quickly. In a twinkling of an eye, Qi Wutong and I were pregnant together for more than a year.
I have been in the palace for nearly two years, and the emperor made me a beauty, and the beauty of Jin Qi was Qi Jieyu. It was rare for two concubines in the palace to be pregnant together, which was a great joy.
Ning Guifei touched my stomach every day and couldn’t help looking at Qi Wutong’s stomach, saying, “When your children are born, I won’t be able to do this needlework.”
I coaxed the imperial concubine with sweet words: “The empress’s craftsmanship is several times better than embroidery lady in the palace. Even if the empress makes a pair of socks for my child, I like it.”
The imperial concubine did not smile on her face, but she was happy in her heart. Unable to resist my sweet words, she said, “Where is Zhi Rou who just entered the palace?”? How come you’ve become such a wrangler now? You’re going to be a woman.
Qi Wutong sat aside and laughed at me. I grabbed the cakes on the plate and stuffed them into her mouth so that she could not laugh at me. Ten months
passed in a twinkling of an eye. Qi Wutong and I had children one after another. I gave birth to a princess, and Qi Wutong gave birth to a prince.
A month later, the emperor ordered a full moon banquet for the two children and invited the concubines to attend.
The emperor drank a lot of wine and said, “There hasn’t been such a happy event in the palace for a long time. I have a pair of children.” After the
full moon banquet, the emperor rewarded the concubines of each palace with many jewels and ornaments. Besides, he gave me a hairpin with jade and willow leaves, and Qi Wutong a rose hairpin. Ning Guifei and
I thought about the name for almost a night, and finally decided to name the second princess Heyan, who was happy and intelligent. The name of the
third prince was set by the emperor himself, and he was named Runxi.
Since Qi Wutong gave birth to the third prince, the number of times she came to Changxin Palace became less and less. I thought that she needed to take care of the child inside and outside, so she didn’t come.
The talented man took the place of Qi Wutong to play cards. On the first day of playing cards, he won a lot of money. I cried that I would not play with you, and my family belongings were almost lost.
Talented people still have a conscience! She handed back the money she had won, leaving only a little for herself.
The second prince, Runze, likes Princess Heyan very much, but when he is only four years old, he speaks like an adult: “When my sister grows up, I will take her to fly kites and teach her to read and write.”
Lu Chao-yi knocked him on the head. “In the future, you must protect your sister Heyan.”
Runze said with a straight face, “Don’t worry, Mother Ho.” There were few children in the
palace, and the empress would bring Princess Duanyi to see us. Princess Duanyi was already eight years old, and her appearance followed that of the empress. Her eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful.
Apart from Chunfei, I was already familiar with all the concubines in the palace. Ning Guifei said that when she first met Chunfei, she didn’t like to talk, and she didn’t like to communicate with others. She didn’t have much to say to the emperor. Ning Guifei mocked the emperor for marrying Chunfei. It was because Chunfei gave birth to a beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River. When Ning Guifei and I were the only ones
left, Ning Guifei occasionally talked about Chun Fei and frowned. I didn’t have many people in the palace who could talk to me before. At that time, there were only me, the empress and the imperial concubine. The empress was accompanied by the emperor, so I had to find a reliable sister to talk to? I asked her three questions, but it took me a long time to answer. Tell me, how come she didn’t make the emperor so angry?
I thought about it and said, “Is it because Princess Chunfei is good-looking?”
Ning Guifei gave me a white look and ignored me, and continued to embroider Heyan’s small clothes.
After a while, Concubine Ning said to herself, “I didn’t have a sister in the palace to talk to me before. Somehow I became aloof and arrogant. I must have been influenced by Concubine Chun.”. If it weren’t for Lu Yin-mei constantly coming over to talk to me, I’d be suffocating to death. Holding Concubine Ning’s arm,
I whispered, “Empress, I have one more to accompany you.”
Ning Guifei felt much more comfortable and made beautiful clothes for my Heyan for several days in a row.
After a few months, Qi Wutong finally remembered our sister group. The talented person arranged a new script for her. When it was handed to her, Qi Wutong did not look very happy, but smiled faintly.
Liangcai people took the initiative to give up their positions, and Qi Wutong was absent-minded when he played cards with us. After
she left, I heard Ning Guifei say that Qi Wutong’s father had been promoted, and his wife had also been given a life. After all, the emperor values the three princes, and the mother depends on the son. I understand this truth. After five years of
such dull days, the talented man gave birth to three princesses last year, and Lu Zhaoyi added four princes, who were named Concubine Lu. Runze ran after Heyan in the
yard. Lu Fei and I sat watching them. But Runze’s brother kept his word. He took Heyan to fly kites and told stories to Heyan.
Tell a story that is more vivid than a beautiful woman.
I thought the quiet life would go on until the battle report came from the front, and the Khitan man named the emperor’s princess to marry. My
heart tightened and I looked at Heyan, who was only five years old now, and the princess who was the most suitable age to marry in the palace. Only the princess Duanyichang of the empress.
I have always believed that only an incompetent monarch would use women to quell wars.
I bet that the emperor will not take Princess Duanyi as a bargaining chip in exchange for peace, because I have seen the eyes of the emperor looking at the empress, which is the eyes of my husband looking at his wife that I dream of.
The beauty wrote our love story into the script, only the love of emperors and empresses is a true portrayal of reality.
But I bet wrong, and soon the order to send Princess Duanyi to marry was issued.
Princess Duanyi hugged the empress and cried into a ball. Her face was full of girlhood, and the empress seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
The empress has been ill for dozens of days, and I and the imperial concubine, Lu Zhaoyi also went to see the empress, but the empress did not see us. After
returning to Changxin Palace, Ning Guifei straightened the thread in her hand and sighed, “The emperor is a cruel man, but that’s his own princess.”
I asked, “After the princess is married, will there be no war?”
Ning Guifei said bluntly, “How can it be so easy? Now marriage is a delaying tactic. Besides, the treasury is empty now, and the soldiers are not enough. We can’t fight.”. In fact, the emperor is also in a dilemma. He doesn’t want to send Princess Duanyi to marry her. That’s something that can’t be helped.
I heard.. The Great Khan of Khitan is over forty years old. He is older than emperor. I frowned.
Ning Guifei threw the embroidered handkerchief to me and turned to pick up the teacup. “This is her destiny as a princess,” she sighed. On the wedding day of the
princess, there was a long line in the palace, with the emperor and the empress standing in the front. The princess’s dowry will only be more, not less, the empress from the Palace of Earthly Tranquility to transfer half of the palace people to accompany the princess to marry.
I am holding and Yan standing in the distance, there is a kind of indescribable taste in my heart.
Princess Duanyi’s carriage went farther and farther until she left the imperial city and could not see any shadow.
The emperor put his arm around the empress’s shoulder, and the empress cried into tears.
Half a month later, the empress fell ill, and the emperor sent a lot of supplements to the best doctor in the hospital to treat her. At that time, Ning Guifei and I went to visit the empress secretly. Her temples had a lot of white hair, and her eyes were sunken and red. Holding the empress by the hand,
Ning said, “Ah Yan, there is still a long way to go in the palace. The days will pass quickly. We will be with you, and so will the emperor.” The maid of honor who
served him decocted the soup and sent it over, and the empress gently pushed it away. With a smile on his face, he said, “I have taken more medicine than food this day.”
The medicine is too bitter.. I don’t like bitter. I want some sugar, Ah Yun. The empress held Ning Guifei’s hand like a child.
Ning Guifei has the habit of carrying sugar with her, and it is estimated that she is as afraid of hardship as the empress.
After tossing and turning for a long time, the empress gradually fell asleep. Ning Guifei pinched the bag of sugar and finally put a piece of sugar in her own mouth. On the way
back, I faintly heard Ning Guifei saying, “The days in the palace are very bitter, so I’d better eat more sweet food in my mouth.” What if the heart is sweet, too?
After three months, the empress’s condition still did not improve, and the emperor seldom went to the harem. When the emperor was free, he went to accompany the empress. The empress was afraid that the emperor would get sick, so she would drive the emperor away every time.
But I know that the empress is a heart disease. After Princess Duanyi gets married, the empress will not be well.
I suddenly remembered that when my mother sent me to the palace, I thought that I might never see her again. Would I be so sad. In the
spring of April, the empress was gone.
I heard the maid in charge of the empress mention that before she left, the empress always said, “She’s only thirteen.” Repeatedly said the same sentence, woke up to look at Duanyi’s portrait, tired to hold Duanyi’s clothes to sleep. The posthumous title of
the empress was Ming yuan, and she was buried in the imperial mausoleum three days later. The day of
the empress’s funeral was as luxurious as the day of Princess Duanyichang’s marriage. The emperor seems to have given them the best. Matters in
the harem, big or small, are temporarily handled by Ning Guifei, who is not allowed to eat meat or fish in the palace for one year, and will not be selected again for three years. The Palace of Earthly Tranquility became a place where only the emperor could go, and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility was locked up and down, as if to lock the emperor’s heart in.
From then on, there was something missing in the emperor’s eyes after all. The empress had told the emperor to share the rain and dew, and the children were continuous. In the third month of the empress’s life, the emperor was finally willing to step into the harem.
The three princes were born intelligent and inquisitive, and won the favor of the emperor. Together with Qi Jieyu, the mother of the three princes, they were also promoted to Xiuyi.
The big prince is lazy, the second prince is funny, and the fourth prince is still young. When
Ning Guifei was chatting with me, she happened to talk about Qi Xiuyi and the three princes. She said, “The harem is very deep. There is no need to talk about sisterhood. You are an honest man who doesn’t know how to compete for favor, but some people know how to play tricks and how to win the favor of the emperor.”. Some people, ah, are eager to climb up to the rear now.
“How much does the emperor like Runxi? You saw it with your own eyes. How long has it been since the emperor came to see you two?” After
listening to what the imperial concubine said, there was no wave on her face, but it was very dull. “Qi..” Qi Xiuyi has the emperor, but I have the imperial concubine, who will always be my backer.
On that day, it rained heavily, and the dark clouds that had accumulated for a long time covered the whole palace. The thunder was interlaced among the dark clouds, and the sharp raindrops hit the bluestone road, crackling. It was also such a thunderstorm that Ning Guifei lost her only child.
From then on, Ning Guifei was afraid of rain and thunder. Ning Guifei hugged me tightly and could not help trembling slightly. Her cold hands and feet had fallen since the miscarriage.
I put the heater in the hands of the imperial concubine, wrapped the quilt tightly for her, closed the doors and windows, and I took Heyan to sleep in Ning’s room. The
imperial concubine’s bed is not small, the bed is enough to accommodate the three of us, and Yan told interesting stories to make the empress happy, the beauty is really teaching by words and deeds! Runze can tell stories, and so can Heyan. Liang Meiren also said that both of them were the materials for writing scripts in the future.
The imperial concubine took Heyan into her arms, and her soft little hands stroked Ning’s face. At night, the empress slept soundly, because I was there, and Yan was there.
On the second day, Ning Guifei’s spirit was much better. She invited me to go to the theatre with Lu Fei and Liang Meiren.
Passing by the Imperial Garden, I happened to see two familiar figures, bright yellow figures superimposed on the lake-blue dress, for a moment, I almost thought it was the empress coming back.
Because the emperor likes the empress to wear blue. I was a little absent-minded when I
saw the play. Concubine Ning laughed heartily. The empress pointed at the people on the stage and said to me with her arm, “Ah Rou, look, look.”
I looked in the direction of the imperial concubine, and the people on the stage sang together, as if all the joys and sorrows of life were performed on the stage. The four of
us were close together, and the beauty could not help crying when she saw the sensationalism. She is a sentimental person, with many delicate emotions, will write many stories that can move people.
I once asked the beautiful woman, “Why is it that in all the stories you write, you are the only one without yourself?”
The beautiful woman seemed to be stunned for a moment. She lifted her broken hair behind her ear. “I can’t write myself into the story. I can’t deceive myself into capturing some illusory happiness.”. If you wake up and find that you are still alive, you will be disappointed.
Dream or reality, after all, still can not tell. All the love between Qi Xiuyi
and me broke down when I was pregnant again.
The emperor was so concerned about my weakness that he could not help visiting me at Changxin Palace. In his spare time, the emperor would sit beside me with a book to read, while I sat beside him pruning and arranging flowers.
The emperor took one look at the emerald green hairpin in my bun. “I gave it to you a long time ago. Why are you still wearing it?”
I turned to look at him and said with a smile, “I am a nostalgic person. I remember the emperor’s kindness to me in the past, and naturally I will remember anything the emperor has given me.”
When she saw the emperor coming, she got into the emperor’s arms and took out the story she had written for the emperor. In the story, her emperor Ama took her to ride a horse. Her mother prepared snacks in the tent. Ning Niangniang, Lu Niangniang and Liang Niangniang rested in the tent. Runze brother took her off the horse.
The emperor listened patiently, and Yan was tired of talking and slept in the emperor’s arms. The emperor hugged Heyan and said to me, “I didn’t take good care of you. I neglected you and Yanyan too much.”
I replied, “Your Majesty has something to do. As a concubine, I should do my duty and take good care of my children.” Before he left, the
emperor pulled out the hairpin from my head. He said he would give me a better one another day.
“My concubine will see you off.” At the beginning,
the emperor rewarded me with green leaves and Qi Xiuyi with roses. Of course, I understand the obvious implication that the love for my daughter should be above that for my son.
And the emperor’s only cherished princess has gone away and marriage, no matter how good the princess is only a concubine, how to compare it. When I was six months
pregnant with a dragon, the emperor granted me the title of Jieyu.
Ning Guifei asked me to walk around more all day, so that I wouldn’t suffer too much when I gave birth. Ning Guifei took care of me very closely, and she had to check the cakes and supplements sent by others one by one. Concu
bine Ning touched my tummy and said, “If only I were a prince.” After a while she said, “The princess, the princess.” In
summer, the weather is hot. I’m lazy again. I can’t eat greasy food, and I can’t eat meat and fish. The food cooked by the cook in the palace doesn’t seem to be to my taste.
Think of when Huai and Yan, the mouth is not so tricky.
During the day, Ning Guifei pulled me to the Imperial Garden for a few laps. I watched her sitting on the couch all the year round, but I didn’t expect her physique to be better than mine. I cried and couldn’t walk any more. Ning Guifei pulled and dragged me to the end.
Lu Fei asked the small kitchen in her palace to cook a lot of light dishes and sent them to Changxin Palace.
After the nausea, I began to think about eating spicy food, and after eating spicy food, I wanted to eat sour food. For a while, Ning Guifei couldn’t figure out whether I was pregnant with a son or a daughter.
Less than a month later, the emperor rewarded me with a white jade hairpin with apricot blossoms, which was white and pink, and looked very beautiful on my head.
Lu Fei specially asked the small kitchen to make hot and sour fish and sent it over. It was sour and spicy, and it really suited my appetite.
Ning Guifei embroidered many small clothes for babies, both blue and pink.
I couldn’t help but say to her, “Heyan had a pile of clothes left over from her childhood. After wearing them for a few days, she had to throw them away. It was a waste. I put them all away.”. The empress’s craftsmanship is naturally the best. Just don’t tire yourself. There are a lot of embroidery women in the palace..
I leaned on the empress’s shoulder and said, “My child is the empress’s child, and the empress will like it no matter whether it is a son or a daughter.”
Ning Guifei raised her eyes and looked at me. “You, you, don’t always be reluctant to part with this and that. Children’s clothes and toys should be the best.”. I really hope you get a prince, so that you can secure your position in the palace.
I touched my stomach and patted it lightly. “If the emperor really loves me, how can he value me because I gave birth to a prince, and how can he look down on me because I gave birth to a daughter?”
Near the birth of the two months, Ning Fei and Lu Fei, good beauty with me to the Imperial Garden to walk. Unlike a few months ago, my belly is much bigger than before, but after months of exercise, I feel stronger and stronger.
Walking to the end in a twinkling of an eye, I looked up and saw a woman in blue standing in front of me, whose face was very familiar. When I got closer, it was Qi Xiuyi.
Qi Xiuyi took the three princes to play in Imperial Garden, although the three princes were diligent and studious, but they were always lonely, he seldom played with other princes, and when he saw strangers, he always hid behind Qi Xiuyi and dared not make a sound.
Qi Xiuyi led Runxi to take the initiative to salute and say hello, Ning Guifei and Lu Fei nodded.
According to my position, I should salute and say hello to Qi Xiuyi. Qi Xiuyi immediately supported me and said flatly, “My sister is pregnant now, so I don’t have to be polite.”. When you have a baby, if you are free, you can come to my palace more often.
Qi Xiuyi looked me up and down with a smile on his face, as if he wanted to tell me something else. The third prince took Qi Xiuyi by the hand and whispered, “Mother, let’s go back to the palace.”
I grabbed Qi Xiuyi and said slowly, “It just so happens that we’re going back too. Shall we go back together?”
“Zhaoyang Temple is quite remote, and it may not be on the way with you. I’ll just take Runxi back.”
Yes, Qi Xiuyi lives in Zhaoyang Palace, which is different from me.
I was in the same place for a long time, Ning Guifei pulled me and asked me if I was tired and wanted to rest for a while?
I nodded and rested on the stone bench, watching Qi Xiuyi’s back farther and farther away.
Ning Guifei packed up all the things I needed to give birth in advance, and arranged them properly. With her, I felt at ease for no reason.
Ning Guifei took me by the hand and said, “I’ve found you an experienced and steady woman in the palace, and the imperial physician has taken care of it. Don’t blame me for dragging you around all day. I’m doing it for your own good, and I’m afraid you’ll suffer when you give birth.”
My nose was sour for a moment. I didn’t know what the feelings between me and Ning Guifei were. She seemed to think about me everywhere and worry about me. I took her hand instead. “Thank you, Ah Yun.” There was going to be a war outside the
pass again. The emperor was on a personal expedition. Before he left, I stood in the palace wall. He was outside the palace wall. I looked at him for a long time. The emperor also promised me that he would go back quickly. On the way
back to Changxin Palace, I felt more and more stomachache and my pace became heavy.
Ning Guifei saw that my face was pale and asked anxiously, “Ah Rou, what’s wrong with you?”
I bit my lip and said, “I have a stomachache.”
Ning Guifei saw a lot of transparent liquid flowing out of my crotch, ticking on the ground.
Hurry! Pass on the Imperial Physician!
Ning Guifei passed the sedan chair, and several palace maids helped me into the sedan chair in a panic. It was a bumpy ride, and labor pains didn’t stop. Ning Guifei grabbed my arm and said, “We’re almost there, we’re almost there.”
Suddenly, Mingming Taiyi said that there was still some time to go before the birth. When I lay back in bed, I felt that I could not exert my strength all over and could not make a sound.
I faintly heard the voice of Ning Guifei, very hurried.
“What do you mean doctor of the Imperial Hospital can’t come?”? Where is Zhang Taiyi! Where has Mammy Li gone?
Several little ladies of honor were lying on the ground. One of them said timidly, “Doctor Zhang’s sudden illness has been taken to the palace for treatment, and the rest of the doctors have been locked up quarantine..” Wang Taiyi just came back from the palace yesterday, and he..
“What happened to him?” Ning Guifei asked impatiently.
“The third prince has suddenly become seriously ill, and Wang Taiyi has been called to treat him.” The maid lowered her head and dared not look at Ning Guifei.
I lay in bed with a sharp pain in my crotch, and the sheets were soaked with sweat and wet.
I was set up. And it was set up by my good sister, who wanted to kill me. I suddenly understood before I fainted. After asking several palace maids to take good care of me,
Ning Guifei ran straight out of the door without returning.
The maid wiped the sweat on my body with hot water, looking at their flustered appearance, I would like to comfort them a few words, just give birth to a child, I can not die.
After that, I slept for a long time, maybe because it hurt so much that I felt pain even in my dreams.
I dreamed that I was immersed in a pan of boiling oil, covered with the pain of being scalded, and someone kept dragging me, as if to pull me into the bottom of the pan. I don’t know how long I struggled to wake up. When I
finally woke up, I saw a lot of people standing beside the bed, and they all looked anxious. The woman who
delivered the baby arrived and looked very strange. When she saw me awake, she immediately surrounded me.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ning Guifei, Liangmei and Lu Fei, and even Rong Fei came.
After a day and a night of tossing and turning, the child finally landed.
And a prince. I pulled the corners of my mouth, but I couldn’t laugh, because I almost died.
The child was carried out by the nurse, and Ning Guifei came to my bed. Several of them felt that I had saved my life. I tried to squeeze out a word to comfort them: “Don’t worry about me. I’m all right.”
Ning Guifei could not control her emotions, and her eyes were filled with tears. Said in a trembling voice, “Even the doctor of the Imperial Hospital can’t be invited..” I don’t know where the steady mother-in-law arranged beforehand has gone. I was so worried that I ran outside and met Concubine Lu, who knew someone outside the palace, so I asked someone to send her to the palace. Concu
bine Lu said, “It’s a good thing I’m all right. It’s all right..” “Do you know how long you’ve been in a coma?”
Ning continued? It was a whole night before you woke up! I almost thought you were going to end up here, and I would suffer for the rest of my life.
Rong Fei also came over and patted Ning Guifei on the back, and the sisters sat together.
“Ah Yun, thank you.”
Thank you.. Thank you. I said thank you three times.
Thank me for what? I’ve always treated you like a sister. Ning Guifei came over and covered the quilt for me.
Rong Fei interjected, “It was made by Qi Xiuyi.”
Rong Fei did not ask a question, but said it directly and positively, because it was too obvious that Qi Xiuyi had been alienated from me before, Zhang Taiyi, who had a sudden illness, and the three princes were suddenly seriously ill, and even the steady mother-in-law who had been arranged beforehand had disappeared.
It’s such a coincidence that everything comes together only to think of her.
But why? Qi Wutong. Why would you want me dead?
Rong Fei sighed. “Have you ever offended her?”? Or do you have a grudge?
Ning Guifei immediately defended me. “I know Ah Rou’s temper. She’s usually as quiet as a kitten.”. Besides accompanying me to embroidery, I just play cards and go to the theatre with us. How could she have offended Chi Hsiu-yi? “But that’s the truth,” said
Rong Fei. “From now on, you must be on your guard against her. You can’t have the intention to harm others, and you can’t have the intention to prevent others.
For a moment, as if there was a needle in my heart. When did it start.. She has nothing to say since she saw me? Still won’t come to Changxin Palace to play cards again? Or since I got pregnant again.
Within a month, the emperor came back. After dealing with the turmoil on the border, he heard the news that I had given birth to a prince and rushed back happily.
The emperor held the child in his arms and was too happy to let go. It was not until the nurse came that the emperor carefully handed over the child.
“I thought about it on the way back. Ah Rou, our son’s name is Run Cheng.”
“Those who achieve great things must not only have extraordinary talent, but also perseverance and perseverance.” The emperor’s eyes were much brighter.
After giving birth, I lay in bed for almost a month. I nodded, “The emperor’s name is naturally very good. I thanked the emperor for his son.”
The emperor saw that my face was much more haggard, and his face was a little more worried. After Ning Guifei told the emperor the cause and effect again, the emperor frowned and his eyes were a little more indifferent.
He seemed to know who did it, and I expected the emperor to give me a result, but I was afraid that the emperor would be unfavorable to Qi Xiuyi.
“I know.” The emperor turned to the gentle tone he had just spoken.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
Emperor Jin I why Zhaoyi, the original intention wants me to move to Huayang Palace, but so far away from Ning Guifei, I insist on staying in Changxin Palace, I can’t bear to part with the imperial concubine, also can’t bear to Bower of Crimson Snow.
The emperor could only comply with me and sent a lot of jewelry and supplements. When
I saw the emperor again, I saw that he had a sullen face and did not speak for a long time after he entered the room.
“Why do you force me?”
I looked up at him, and I had to say something, but the man in front of me had known me for eight years, but I still couldn’t recognize him.
Sometimes I think he is a husband and a king.
The emperor sighed and said in a gentle tone, “Ah Rou, who do you think I should appoint as my successor?” How could
the emperor ask me that.
“In fact, the emperor already had a choice in mind, didn’t he?” I responded with a smile.
Indeed, the emperor already had a choice, but not who was made queen, but executed a group of officials of the former Dynasty.
Including. Qi Xiuyi’s father.
I learned the cause and effect from Ning Guifei. Qi Xiuyi’s father was an official in the court and formed a clique. He had a lot of lawsuits in private, but they were all suppressed. A few days ago, Qi Guoguang again dreamed of interfering in the establishment of the queen, and the emperor Longyan was furious. Although
the emperor previously loved the three princes, but in the end also did not make him the meaning of the crown prince, the meaning of charity and seizure of course is very different, slowly the emperor’s love for the three princes and Qi Xiuyi changed.
Qi Xiuyi was not spared, and she seemed to have known her end long ago.
Only a few days later, the Zhaoyang Palace where Qi Xiuyi lived was locked up and down, and she could not go out unless she died. This was what the emperor meant. She was a royal person in life and a royal ghost in death. And the three princes were also adopted by Rong Fei. When the
third prince was taken away, there was no expression on his face. Ning Guifei said that Runxi was a strange child, sometimes terribly quiet and sometimes very torturous.
I don’t know what Qi Xiuyi said to Runxi. When the mother and son were separated, Runxi didn’t cry or speak. Before
the Zhaoyang Palace was locked up, I quietly arranged the guards and sneaked in. At least, to see her for the last time, some things still want to ask face to face.
Walking into the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace, Qi Wutong knelt down in front of the statue of Guanyin, worshipping piously and holding Buddha beads in his hand. She turned her head slowly when she heard someone coming. After
half a ring, Qi Wutong said, “It’s you, Zhi Rou.” “Why are you trying to hurt me?”
I asked without any unnecessary nonsense. When
Chi Wutong heard this, he laughed a few times and pointed at me and said, “So you’re not so stupid. You’ll still see through such a mean trick.”
My heart seemed to be pierced by ice thorns, and my fingers trembled slightly as I pinched my handkerchief. Why must it be me? I thought you were a sister, but you..
Qi Wutong interrupted me, “Sister?”? What sister? How naive you are to believe that there will be good sisters after you enter the palace.
Qi Wutong’s expression was gradually ferocious. She knelt on the ground and grabbed my dress.
Why.. Why should the emperor take me as a substitute for the queen? Why did the emperor turn a blind eye to me when you were pregnant? Why should I walk on thin ice in this palace, but you can talk and laugh with your sisters? I have to endure the pressure of my family and try my best to climb up. Ho Chih-rou, I knew I couldn’t kill you, but why should you live better than me? Obviously you’re not as good as me everywhere!
Qi Wutong said a lot in a row. Suddenly she pulled hard and the beads in her hand fell to the ground. There was no sound in the main hall except the sound of falling beads.
I didn’t know she hated me so much. But does she hate me or herself?
Qi Wutong tore the blue dress on her body, and the louder she tore, the happier she seemed. She repeated, “The phoenix perches on the Chinese parasol tree..” Fengqi Wutong.. Father and mother.. What am I? When I
walked out of Zhaoyang Palace, I looked at the rising sun in the sky, gentle as before, so beautiful. Just like when I first entered the palace.
The emperor retained Qi Wutong’s position, and she will always be Qi Xiuyi in the harem. After another year
of tossing and turning, after autumn, Ning Guifei had a cough. In the past, she could always smell a trace of sweetness on her body, because Ning Guifei liked to eat sweets, even if she had a toothache, the doctor said many times that she still could not change her love of sweets.
Now her body is mostly a strong smell of medicine, she was originally the most afraid of suffering.
Her eyes were not as bright as they used to be, and she always asked me to help her when she was threading the needle.
“Ah Rou, don’t think I’m stupid. My craft..” Maybe it’s not as good as it used to be, but I want to embroider a few more handkerchiefs, and you can change one every year in the future.
Rou, today I embroidered a koi to play in the water, just like you and me. This koi is me, and you are the water. I used to think I could leave anyone, but I can’t leave you.
Rou, you see how fast Ruyan and Runcheng are growing up. Last year’s clothes can’t be put on this year. I have to make their clothes quickly. You always can’t remember these little things. Remind me to make more of their clothes, or I’ll always be sleepy these days.
Ning Yun so sick year after year, she is the same as before, afraid of hardship, afraid of rain and thunder, afraid of taking medicine, but not afraid of tired themselves.
She made a lot of clothes for the two children, including my handkerchief, each handkerchief is a pair of patterns, moon and clouds, fish and water, apricot blossoms and fallen leaves..
Ning Guifei often said, don’t think too highly of yourself, don’t put your posture too low, don’t put a good Yangguan road, think of some bumpy detours, and break yourself in vain.
She went her own way all her life, until she could no longer pick up the needle and thread.
Ning Guifei never thought that Chun Fei would come to visit her. Chun Fei went to her bed and only said, “You are a good man.”
Ning Guifei never resented anyone, did not blame the emperor, did not blame his family, and did not blame himself. She spent the best years of her life in this harem.
Because all the concubines in the palace came to see her, except the emperor. If Ning Yun knew, would he sit up happily and say a few words to them? It rained heavily
that day. I closed the doors and windows as usual. Ning Guifei heard the voice and asked me, Ah Rou.. Is it raining outside?
“There are a lot of people standing outside, all of whom have come to see you.”
Ning Guifei nodded her head. Seeing the beautiful woman beside her, she couldn’t help scolding her: “You haven’t finished the ending of the new script you wrote for me last time.” Did I end up with my husband? With tears in her eyes,
the beautiful woman said in a trembling voice, “Together, the ending is very good, and the house is full of children and grandchildren.”
“Let this be my expectation for the next life.”
Ning Guifei’s face was flushed and her mouth was smiling. When Concu
bine Ning was dying, she said, Ah Niang, Yunyun wants to go home. Ah Niang.
Finally, Ning Yun took my hand and asked me to give her a candy. She took the sugar in her mouth, nodded with satisfaction, and left with a smile.
Ning Guifei left at the age of thirty-five, leaving the palace where she had been trapped for half her life. After the imperial concubine Ning left, the emperor gave her the posthumous title of Hui Zhong and buried her in the imperial concubine’s mausoleum with the ceremony of the imperial concubine.
I suddenly understood why the emperor locked the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, even he seldom went to see it again, he was afraid of seeing things and missing people, afraid that he could not come out. And I don’t want to come out.
Changxin Palace has no main seat, I should live in the main hall, I did not touch all the things Ning Yun liked before, she liked to drink tea, like embroidery, like seats. I don’t know when
she came into my heart, and it was so painful when she pulled it out. In September of
the same year, a new batch of beautiful girls entered the palace. The emperor gave me the title of Xian, Jin as a virtuous concubine, acting for the six palaces.
The first queen has been gone for three years, the emperor has never mentioned the establishment of the queen, may be in addition to the first queen, any woman can not match her half. Among
the newlyweds, I met a beautiful girl named Jiang Caiyun, who was petite and exquisite, with a pure heart.
In her body, I seem to find the shadow of the former Ning Guifei, Jiang Caiyun temper, and I also have what to say, she lived with me in Changxin Palace, lived in the Bower of Crimson Snow where I used to live. On the day of entering the
palace, she was sealed by the emperor and happily lived in the Bower of Crimson Snow with her personal maid and luggage. On the first day of
her stay, she came to see me. She was not as timid as I used to see Ning Guifei. She gave me all the delicious and interesting things she thought.
My eyes finally focused on the glutinous rice cake, which was mixed with peanuts, sesame seeds, and almonds.
I smiled and said to her, “Caiyun, almonds are too bitter. I like sweet ones.”
“Uh-huh, Caiyun wrote it down.” Before
Jiang Caiyun entered the palace, I don’t know who said that I like drinking tea, so I specially found the best tea and brought it with me. I am a child with a heart.
Watching Jiang Caiyun jump and run back to the Bower of Crimson Snow, as if the days in the palace had gone back to the past.
Soon, Jiang Caiyun and Lu Fei, good beauty also mix familiar, she said, the days in the palace are really happy ah, can see the play, can play cards, can play all kinds of fun, happy do not want to go home.
In a twinkling of an eye and five years later, Jiang Caiyun gave birth to four princesses Jin as beauty, and good beauty gave birth to six princes Jin as Zhaoyi.
The emperor finally could not resist the persuasion of the civil and military officials, what country can not be a day without a monarch, the harem can not be a day without a master. But these ministers are very clever, do not nominate the name to say, just who in the harem when the queen has no effect on them.
Weighing the pros and cons, the emperor chose me as his successor. I was twenty-nine years old when I was appointed queen.
He stood on a high place, and I went to him step by step, receiving three bows and nine kowtows from the civil and military officials and the concubines in the harem.
It was only later that the emperor found some excuses not to let me live in Palace of Earthly Tranquility, saying that the Palace of Earthly Tranquility was already a little old and that it was too troublesome to clean it, and I listened without a word. Of course I know the
reason, so many years, the emperor still did not put her down. But so what.. Just like I haven’t forgotten the old people I used to live with day and night. After
entering the Weiyang Palace, I happened to see a letter hidden in some painted drawers. There are only two short sentences on the
letter.
“Long live the mountain,” he said. “It is sincere and sincere. It is no longer a matter of a thousand years.” The days in
the harem go round and round without end.
Qi Wutong was just fifteen years old when he entered the palace. She is the youngest daughter of the family, her father originally did not intend to let her into the palace, just find a concubine in the clan to replace her, but Qi Wutong heard that he Zhirou was going to the talent show, said what also want to accompany her into the palace. Lady
Qi especially loved the little daughter, afraid that her daughter would be wronged after entering the palace, specially let her personal maid Yang Chengyu accompany her daughter into the palace.
Qi Wutong was born good-looking, no accident she will be chosen by the emperor, and she was born to be a bold, many beautiful girls only she is not afraid of the emperor. On her first day
in the palace, she went to see He Zhirou with what the emperor had given her. After stepping into the Changxin Palace, he went to the innermost part of the west side before entering the Bower of Crimson Snow.
She glanced around, but there were only a few palace attendants. Qi Wutong frowned and said bluntly, “How can it be so lonely?”
He Zhirou did not seem to care. She knew that he Zhirou was a concubine, and after entering the palace, she had to live the same life as before. Qi Wutong felt bad in her heart.
“It’s just that I’m worried about you. She’s not giving you a hard time, is she?”
Qi Wutong clenched He Zhirou’s hand. Ning Guifei lived in the main hall. Aunt Yang said that Ning Guifei did not like to talk to people in the palace before, and her temper was very tricky.
Seeing that he Zhirou was all right, she was a little relieved, thinking that one day she must be favored by the emperor, so that the emperor could let he Zhirou move to his own palace.
Although Zhaoyang Palace is not as grand as Changxin Palace, she should have the same thing, and then choose the biggest one for He Zhirou to live in. On the way
back to Zhaoyang Palace, Qi Wutong’s face was full of smiles. She had already begun to look forward to the life of two people with He Zhirou. As long as she was spoiled, she still wanted meat and money?
Yang Cheng-yu followed her silently, saying out of the blue, “Master, when you get to the palace, it’s better to have less contact with talented people.”
Chi Wu-tung stopped smiling and turned to ask, “Why?”
“The young lady is no longer the young lady she used to be in the cabinet. The master and his wife take you very seriously. Naturally, when you go to the palace, you can’t waste time all day.”
Yang Cheng-yu added, “The master wants to be favored, and he must have a prince. The master should understand that the mother depends on the son.”. Like Ho Tsai-jen, who can’t wait to be seen, the maidservant feels that she will hold her master back.
Qi Wutong stood there for a long time. “Aunt Yang, you can’t say that about her. She’s me.”
“The people of the past, the things of the past, are not as important as the honor and favor of the present master.” Yang Chengyu’s tone is somewhat critical.
Yang Cheng-yu is an old woman who grew up with her mother. Chi Wutong didn’t want to say anything more to her, but replied, “Yes, I know.” On
the second day, when she went to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility to pay her respects, Qi Wutong did not let Aunt Yang follow her. If she saw herself walking with He Zhirou, she would inevitably nag her again on the way back.
Qi Wutong took He Zhirou’s arm and they walked very slowly. Qi Wutong felt that the way back to Changxin Palace with He Zhirou was so far away that he could say a few more words by walking more. While chatting
with Ho Chih-rou, a pale green figure flashed past Chi Wu-tung. She said to Ho Chih-rou, “That’s Wan Mei-mei. I said hello to her on the day of the talent show, but she ignored me.”
Ho Chih-rou whispered in her ear, “It’s better to keep a low profile in the palace.”
After all, he didn’t even have a firm foothold in the harem, and he would suffer if he was too domineering.
Ning Guifei won’t spoil Wan Meiren. She doesn’t care what kind of beauty and ugly person she is. If she doesn’t like her heart, she must say a few words. While paying her respects
at the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, Ning Guifei looked at Wan Meiren as if she were dressed up like something and said sarcastically, “I’ve heard people say that the more delicate and beautiful the flowers are, the more they need fresh muck to look good.” Among the concubines who
came to the Palace of Earthly Tranquillity to pay their respects, only Wan Meiren wore an embroidered skirt in the style of pear flowers and a few small flower hairpins on her head.
Qi Wutong almost couldn’t help laughing until the empress broke up.
Wan Meiren did not know whether she was angry or what, and her pace was much faster than before, and she walked directly in front of Ning Guifei.
Ning gave her a white look and shouted, “It’s a pity that all the pear blossoms in the palace have withered overnight.”
Wanmeiren finally didn’t want to be a “fool.” She was so angry that she turned around and said angrily, “Although the flowering period of pear blossoms is short, it’s better than no flowering period. Don’t you think so, Empress?
Qi Wutong pursed his lips and dared not speak. After looking at He Zhirou, they nodded together. Well, he’s a tough guy.
He Zhirou later told her that Ning Guifei could not bear to see Wan Meiren always bullying Rong Fei Empress. Rong Fei Empress was an honest person. She did not like to compete for favor and did not like to communicate with other palaces. She only wanted to have a quiet place for herself.
Later, Qi Wutong understood that as long as Ning Guifei looked down on people, most of them would not be liked by the emperor, who did not like people who were too domineering. When
Wan Meiren was disposed of, Qi Wutong was not surprised, after all, Wan Meiren was very stupid, the emperor had chosen her to enter the palace mostly because of her handsome face, but a good-looking fool. Most of
the emperors were very tolerant towards their own women. After Wan Meiren was demoted to a commoner, the emperor quietly sent her out of the palace, which could be regarded as saving her. Although Wan Meiren is stupid but not bad, she is also an unlucky person who has been involved by her father who does not live up to expectations.
Every time the emperor went to Zhaoyang Palace, Qi Wutong would play a song “Sky Light and Cloud Shadow” to relax the emperor. Qi Wutong can not only play the piano, but also write poems and songs, and she is also proficient in needlework. When he
was free, Qi Wutong would be dragged to the Changxin Palace to play cards with them, and he became familiar with them.
It turned out that Ning Guifei was not as arrogant as the rumor, Lu Zhaoyi was the most talkative, her eyes were always smiling when she spoke, and she was a talented person who could write a script, and they all took turns to read the script she had written.
After that, under the guidance of Yang Chengyu, Qi Wutong quickly won the honor and gave birth to three princes.
The emperor named him Runxi. Qi Wutong finally can put down the heart to come, gave birth to the prince, the father and mother will be relieved, oneself is not need to think about how to please the emperor?
Yang Chengyu asked someone to bring a letter back from outside the palace. The letter was written by Lord Qi, but there was no word of concern about Qi Wutong in the letter.
“Auntie, burn the letter.” Everyone
is teaching Qi Wutong how to compete for favor in the harem. Is it not enough to have a prince now. When
taking care of Runxi, Qi Wutong always felt physically and mentally exhausted. When he held the child in his arms, he looked so small that he dared not hold him hard for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.
After almost a month, Qi Wutong adapted to the identity of his mother.
The emperor gave her a rose hairpin, she looked at it lightly, put it away, put it in a wooden box, if the emperor did not mention it, it is estimated that he will not take it with him in his life.
Emperor Jin Qi Wutong held a full moon banquet for two children at the same time at the end of the month for Jieyu. The
eastern row is He Zhirou and Ning Guifei, Liangcai Ren, Lu Zhaoyi.
To the west are Qi Wutong, Chun Fei and Rong Fei. Yang Chengyu said that the queen had only one daughter and no son. As long as the queen could not give birth to a prince, the crown prince would sooner or later fall on other princes.
The eldest prince was born to Chun Fei. The premature baby was congenitally slow and did not begin to speak until he was five years old. The second prince was born to Lu Zhaoyi. He was fond of playing and was still young.
Qi Wutong clenched her handkerchief. She understood why her father wanted her to compete for favor. His father’s idea was to push her to a high position.
Qi Wutong glanced at the empress who was still sitting beside the emperor. Her heart was full of fear and uneasiness. How dare she think? How can you think.
Qi Guoguang was promoted twice in the former Dynasty, and together with Lady Qi, he got the third grade of life.
“It’s a letter from my father.” Qi Wutong said without changing his face.
Yang Chengyu nodded slightly. There were only two of them in the room. Yang Cheng-yu stared at the letter in Chi Wu-tung’s hand and said indifferently, “It’s the master’s idea.” The candle on
the mahogany table was beating with flames, and the dark yellow light shone on one side of Qi Wutong’s face, but the other side was a dim shadow.
She understood that as a palace woman, she could not control her father’s mind, but he moved the country, he should not collude with foreign ministers to deal with the emperor. Did he calculate that the emperor did not dare to send troops to fight and did not dare to fight against foreign enemies with the strength of the whole country?
“The maidservant went to burn the letter.” Yang Chengyu’s words broke Qi Wutong’s thoughts.
The next day, Qi Wutong dressed up. When she stepped into the gate of Changxin Palace again, she felt very strange both inside and outside the palace. The people of the past, the things of the past, seem to have nothing to do with her.
And the road he wants to take is bound to be extremely dangerous, looking at He Zhirou or so innocent, the slightest bit can not see that she is a person who has given birth to a child.
So, so, it’s all right. Qi Wutong sat in the former position to play cards with them, the last time, let them.
She lost several times in a row, and listening to them talk was also absent-minded. She almost lost all the money in her pocket, until Yang Cheng-yu stood behind her and said, “Master, it’s getting late and it’s time to go back to the palace.”
“I’m going back.” When Qi Wutong came out, he stepped over the threshold and couldn’t help looking at them a few more times.
Ho Chih-rou came to see her off as before. “Ah Tung wants to come and play often.”
Qi Wutong nodded and did not answer her again. For the first time, Qi Wutong felt that the way back to Zhaoyang Palace was so long.
The emperor was very fond of Qi Wutong. When he was only three years old, Runxi could recite many poems, and when he talked with the emperor, he answered them fluently. The emperor liked it very much and said, “You teach your children well.” After
the emperor left, Qi Wutong was Jin Xiuyi.
In the past two years, Qi Wutong has not said a few words with He Zhirou for a long time, even He Zhirou sent her hand-made cakes, also thrown by Qi Wutong.
Yang Chengyu thought that Qi Wutong had completely cut off contact with that person, only Qi Wutong knew that eating that cake would remind him of the past, and he could not help looking for her again. At that time, how can I let go of this sisterhood.
Even when he Zhirou arrived outside the Zhaoyang Palace and stood for an hour, Qi Wutong did not want to see her. She didn’t let the palace people drive her away, just let her wait. When she’s disappointed in herself, she won’t wait any longer.
“Auntie, is she gone?” Qi Wutong glanced outside the door. “Let’s go,” said
Yang Cheng-yu coldly. “Let’s go and clean up the palace gate and get rid of the bad luck.”
Yang Chengyu walked very fast, only Qi Wutong himself sat on the couch, she said she was too tired, to rest. Let all the palace people step down, finally can not help but red eyes.
She’s gone, and she won’t come back. If I had known this, I would not have been in the palace at the beginning. What kind of young talent I had never seen, why bother to come here for a lifetime.
Chi Wu-tung wiped away a handful of tears. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have come with you. Is it too late for me to regret?” After two years in
a row, Qi Wutong had not received any letters from home in the past few months, and she thought to herself that her father was already going to start, and soon.
As my father expected, the emperor did not have enough troops to fight against the foreign enemy, and the treasury was still empty. The only way to break the deadlock is to marry, and the emperor finally came down to send Princess Duanyichang to marry. On the day of the
princess’s marriage, Qi Wutong and Chun Fei stood together and dared not go to see the princess or the queen again. She
heard Chun Fei talking beside her and saying, “Poor thing.” On the way
back to Zhaoyang Palace, Qi Wutong felt as if there were thorns in her heart, which hurt her heart a little bit. She knew that she could not wash away her sins in her life. She had harmed the princess and the queen.
She closed the door these days, once again received a letter from the father, do not want to know, the father will bribe the palace doctor to the queen.
In the past, she rarely replied to letters, but this time, Qi Wutong wrote in most of her letters that the empress was good, and hoped that her father could let the empress go.
But she knew that even if the father did not lay hands on the empress, the empress did not have much to live, the empress was already weak, after the princess and kiss this toss and turn, the body can not endure again will run out of oil.
The empress never recovered from her illness. Qi Wutong went to see her, and when she sat in front of her bed, she felt that she was a murderer. She looked at the empress with tears in her eyes and could not say a word for a long time.
Wutong, don’t cry. You’re a good boy. The palace knows it, and so does the emperor. Take good care of yourself in the future.
The empress thought that she was going to die, which made Qi Wutong so sad that she could not help frowning.
Qi Wutong nodded hurriedly and fell in front of the empress’s bed, repenting in his heart. Empress, I hurt you. I’m sorry for you and the princess. If I exchange my life for yours.
God is fair and unfair, Qi Wutong silently prayed all night, the next day the empress or left. Leave her alone in this palace to repent. She really hoped that the empress could take her with her. It was too hard to live like this.
The emperor ordered the palace not to eat meat and fish for one year, and not to draft for three years. After the empress left, the emperor seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
The emperor has not been to the harem for a long time.
Qi Wutong sat in front of the palace gate, watching the apricot petals falling one by one, she could not help reaching out to pick up, but not a flower fell in the palm of her hand.
“Chih-rou, the apricot blossoms have fallen.”
Qi Wutong’s voice was so light that it dispersed when a gust of wind blew. The
first time the emperor went to the harem was to the Zhaoyang Palace. Behind Qi Wutong, Yang Cheng-yu was dressing her, saying silently, “Your Majesty, there is a master in your heart, and the master must seize the opportunity.”
Qi Wutong’s eyes were dull and he looked at himself in the mirror. After several years in the palace, his face had not changed much. A few white hairs were faintly exposed in his hair, which was also hidden in Aunt Yang’s hair. When
the emperor went to Zhaoyang Palace, he almost always asked about the recent situation of the three princes. Qi Wutong, dressed in a light blue dress, sat aside.
“I still have some memorials to read. I’ll see you another day.”
Qi Wutong stood up and saluted, saying, “My concubine will see you off.” When
the emperor came to the door, he stood sideways for a moment. Squinting his eyes, he looked at Chi Wutong’s dress. “You look good in blue.” Then
left, Qi Wutong got up and looked at the clothes, this is what Aunt Yang told her, she wants to bet once, if the emperor is tired of her wearing a blue dress, if the emperor likes, why not follow the trend?
Qi Wutong happened to ask, “Auntie, what am I doing now?”
Yang Cheng-yu patted her on the shoulder and said, “As long as you can get the holy favor, you can do anything. The master’s heart must be in the rear seat. Only by being patient for a while can you protect the glory of the rest of your life.”
Since then, the emperor looked at Qi Wutong’s eyes always hidden another person, no matter how affectionately the emperor looked at her, she knew that she was just a body.
The emperor’s sweetheart will always live in the emperor’s heart, since the empress has gone, no one can live in it.
Qi Wutong only felt a little sad, she was sad for the empress, sad for herself. When he had
nothing to do, Qi Wutong pruned the flowers to pass the time, and Yang Chengyu’s face was not very good after he entered the door. Just as
Qi Wutong was about to ask what was wrong, Yang Chengyu said directly, “He Meiren is pregnant.”
Qi Wutong said lightly, oh, and continued to cut flowers by himself.
“Master, now is a good time for you. Don’t let others take the limelight.” What is
my aunt worried about? Lu Fei gave birth to two princes in a row, so wouldn’t she have a better chance of becoming empress?
Yang Cheng-yu tugged at the corners of his mouth? Does her family have a backer?
“She came from a small family and gave birth to two princes, but it doesn’t necessarily follow that the emperor will favor her much.”
Ho Chih-rou, isn’t she? Aunt, don’t beat her mind.
Yang Cheng-yu repeated the instructions of Lord Qi and his wife, and before he left, he reminded Qi Wutong, “Your Majesty, you haven’t looked at your master since she was pregnant.” After
closing the door, the room was very quiet again, except for the sound of pruning. In these days when
he Zhirou was pregnant, Qi Wutong almost stayed in his palace to embroider and play the piano, and the days were very uncomfortable. When he is free, he will take Runxi to Imperial Garden for a walk.
The emperor did not come to see her, and she felt much more relaxed. But Yang Chengyu always told her, in the palace also just, to the outside must wear a blue dress, the emperor will like to see.
The emperor misses people when he sees things, but he is not an object. Qi Wutong doesn’t want to argue with the old man. Just wear it.
That day Qi Wutong took Runxi to walk on the gravel road in the Imperial Garden, and far away he heard the voices of several people.
Turning around, it was He Zhirou and her card sisters. When
they met, it was probably a little awkward. But you can’t say nothing.
“If you have time, go to my palace and sit more.” Qi Wutong had a smile on his face and his heart twisted into a ball.
He Zhirou wanted Qi Wutong to walk back with them, Qi Wutong refused, after all, Zhaoyang Palace and Changxin Palace are in the opposite direction, not on the way.
It’s just that I didn’t have such an idea before.
Yang Chengyu often came back at night, Qi Wutong asked her, she only said that something happened in her hometown, always to ask someone to take care of it. It is unavoidable to go outside the palace. For the
rest, Qi Wutong did not ask any more questions. Every night before going to bed,
Qi Wutong knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva statue and prayed in his heart.
Yang Chengyu thought that Qi Wutong was praying for the emperor to come every day, but in fact, Qi Wutong was only thinking in his heart.
May those who are in your thoughts have peace every year. The apricot blossoms of
that day did not fall into her hands. She grabbed a lot of apricot petals on the ground. The petals were dried and ground into fragrant powder, which she carried around her waist every day. Chanting and praying
at night, faintly accompanied by the fragrance of apricot flowers, is also like meeting each other year after year in my heart. For some reason
, Runxi suddenly had a high fever in the night. The fever lasted for two days in a row, but it did not subside.
Qi Wutong hurried to the hospital, but it was empty.
She grabbed the medicine boy who was sorting out the herbs and asked, “Where is the Imperial Physician?”! Is there anyone who can cure the disease! Save my child.
The medicine boy said that Wang Taiyi would come back from outside the palace today. Without waiting for the medicine fairy tale to finish, Qi Wutong rushed out again. But
Yang Cheng-yu grabbed her and said, “Master, you can’t be stupid at this time!” What are
you talking about? I want to save my son’s life, aunt. The
master is now going to see Imperial Physician Wang, but he’s just going to prove his guilt! Master, the old slave is going to find a doctor outside the palace to cure the young master. Master, don’t go.
Qi Wutong’s mind is blank. What’s the charge? What crime? What did you do? She stared at Yang Chengyu kneeling on the ground.
After half a ring, Qi Wutong sighed, “Auntie, you are so stupid.”
Qi Wutong ordered Yang Chengyu to buckle it and went to find Wang Taiyi without looking back.
What are the consequences? Just bear it yourself.
Qi Wutong stayed up for three days and three nights and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news that Changxin Palace had given birth to a prince safely. And Runxi also had a fever.
She knew that the emperor had detained Yang Chengyu and tortured him for a long time. Yang Chengyu only admitted that he was confused and wanted to murder He Zhaoyi.
Even if she refused to admit it, the emperor’s heart was suspicious.
Not only for Qi Wutong, but also for Qi Guoguang. The emperor wanted to collect the evidence of Qi Guoguang’s crime for many years, some of which were dead without proof. If Qi Guoguang had not offended some officials in the former Dynasty, the emperor would not have found the evidence of Qi Guoguang’s collusion with foreign ministers so smoothly.
Qi Wutong still sat on the couch, embroidered with patterns. She had expected such a day, no surprise.
Thinking that the emperor might kill her together, Qi Wutong felt as if he had put down the huge stone that had been accumulated for a long time.
She knew she couldn’t keep Runxi. That night, she pulled Runxi and said, Ah Niang likes Xi’er to study hard. She likes Xi’er to be independent. Ah Niang has something very important to do tomorrow. When Ah Niang is done, she will go to pick up Xi’er. You are a good child. Ah Niang doesn’t like crying children. My Yun-hee is the most promising child.
Runxi nodded. “Mother must come back for me soon.”
The emperor asked Rong Fei to adopt Runxi. But she did not expect that the emperor would trap her in the palace. It’s more like a living torture than a gift. When
he Zhirou came to see her, she knew that it was useless for her to explain anything, and she said a lot of harsh words. Like how much I hate her.
In fact, otherwise, she knew that he Zhirou was too soft-hearted, even if she made up a little lie, she would believe it. After all, I didn’t help her, but in the end I hurt her.
He Zhirou was about to leave. Qi Wutong looked at the Buddha beads falling all over the ground and couldn’t help saying, “The phoenix perches on the Chinese parasol tree..” The phoenix perches on the Chinese parasol tree. Father and mother, what am I?
Qi Wutong counted the days in the Zhaoyang Palace, and every few days the palace people would come and pass on some news to her. Yang Chengyu bit his tongue and committed suicide. Runxi was crying for his mother at the Empress Rong Fei. The Qi family was chopped all over the house.
I don’t know how many years have passed, but the apricot blossoms at the door are still so beautiful. The maid who was cleaning outside the palace said to her, “Today is the day of the queen.”
Qi Wutong stretched out his hand to touch the apricot blossom branch in the palace gate, and she should get what she wanted.
Ning Yun and the emperor can be regarded as a dew-water marriage. When
the emperor was still the king of Huai, he followed the first emperor’s southern tour. Encountered bandits
on the road, highway robbery, bandits rely on the backing of local officials, wantonly surrounded the Huai Wang and the emperor’s carriage.
The bandits were so ruthless that several dark guards around the emperor could barely contend with them. The king of Huai was stabbed
several times and bled profusely. The knife of the bandit was about to fall on his neck. The sound of
the silverware being struck and falling came from the ear of the King of Huai.
Ning Yun rode a handsome horse, dressed in a royal blue robe and blended with the night. Ning Yunli fell to the ground and pulled out the knife from the bandit’s body and wiped the blood from the knife.
Ning Yun turned his face sideways and was somewhat unruly without losing the spirit of a delicate girl.
The moonlight mixed with silver powder fell on her body, and the king of Huai was so stunned that he forgot the pain on his body for a moment.
Ning Yun got off his horse and knelt on one knee. “Your Majesty, Lord,” he said in a deep voice, “I’m late. I hope Your Majesty and Lord will forgive me.”
A few years ago, Ning Yun, as the only daughter of General Zhenguo, not only inherited the position of General Shao, but also fought with General Ning in all directions.
But the more brilliant Ning Yun was, the more the King of Huai wanted her.
His momentary delusion locked her up for the rest of her life.
Ning Yun did not know what was love between men and women, and she thought that the King of Huai, who treated her gently to the bone, would marry her as a princess.
Love for a lifetime, accompany to old age.
She listened to the King of Huai’s soft words, and she fell into it. People who
have never eaten soft honey will certainly think that hard sugar cane is sweet.
Ning Yun’s love, which surged like the tide and retreated without reservation and without leaving a trace, was completely destroyed on the day when the King of Huai married the princess.
Ning Yun stroked the heavy hairpin on his head and talked to He Zhirou about what happened to him in the barracks. He Zhirou clapped her hands. With
her eyes wide open, she exclaimed, “The Empress is the most powerful person I’ve ever seen!”
Ning Yun, encouraged by He Zhirou, broke a branch on the trunk.
He Zhirou performed twelve sections of Ning’s swordsmanship.
Ning Yun was carefree and laughed a few times. My heart is much happier. Turn around and untie your armor.
As soon as he reached out his hand and touched the brocade clothes on his chest, Ning Yun’s smile on his face froze and his mouth closed into a slit.
Yeah, she doesn’t have any armor. The only thing
she could afford was a broken piece of wood and a few embroidery needles.
Ning Yun had a miscarriage in the palace and had not recovered for a long time. In winter, she ordered a pot full of red pineapple charcoal, which could not warm her body.
He Zhirou accompanied Ning Yun to take care of her in these days when she was ill.
Ning Yun had a high fever for many days, which made people confused.
“You’re wrong, Ah Niang. I should have listened to you.”
“He lied to me, he lied to me..”
Ah Niang.. Yunyun wants to go home, wants to..
Want to carry a sword, ride a horse, step across the grassland, drink the water flowing down the mountain, want to stand in the hot sun and run freely, want to wear armor and make a name for yourself.. In fact, the words of the
good beauty were not finished, because she did not know what kind of good man was worthy of such a good general Ning.
Wang Yirong was a former member of Prince Duanwang. After King Duanwang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Wang Yirong was granted the title of Zhaoyi and entered the Weiyang Palace. She used to live in the palace, but now it’s the same in the palace. The
palace is much bigger than palace, and you can walk around.
Wang Zhaoyi was not favored, and she had nothing to say when she saw the emperor, so the emperor didn’t want to go to her.
Wang Zhaoyi did not like the emperor, nor did he like the palace. Since she was sent to the palace by her father when she was fourteen years old, she had to give up something.
One day at noon, it was time for the guards to change shifts.
Wang Zhaoyi looked far away and saw the figure of the old friend. There is her sweetheart in the bodyguard team, whose name is Jiang Yuchen. The two of them grew up together, and when Wang Zhaoyi reached the age of marriage, her sweetheart would come to propose marriage. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable.
Jiang Yuchen did not put down Wang Yirong, at least to see her a few times, how can young emotions be taken up and put down. It’s good to be with her in the palace.
Every time they met, the time was very short. Wang Zhaoyi’s craftsmanship was very good. She quietly made a purse and gave it to Jiang Yuchen. Meet
every few days, although only a few words, two people are also very happy, as long as Wang Zhaoyi stay up to 25 years old, if no children do not want to stay in the palace, can also please go out of the palace to pray for the country.
Every time they met, Wang Zhaoyi would put the letter written to Jiang Yuchen in advance into his arms. Jiang Yuchen will also write to Wang Zhaoyi.
At night, when Wang Zhaoyi was alone, he would open it carefully. She is already twenty-three years old
this year, and she can leave the palace as long as she stays up for another two years. It is also a useless chess piece for the family to control themselves.
Wang Zhaoyi put the letters together, a total of forty-two.
“Yi-jung, although it’s already spring these days, the weather is still a little cool, and you still have to cover yourself with a thick quilt when you sleep.”
“Lord Yen says I can be the chief bodyguard next year. I’ve saved a lot of money recently. You have to tell me what you lack and leave it to you to spend..”
“Yirong, there are a lot of plum blossoms on the east wall of the back hill. It’s a big area. It’s very beautiful..” I saw you coughing a few days
ago. Are you wearing too thin clothes? But go and ask Dr. Wang of the Imperial Hospital to have a look and prescribe some medicine. Don’t eat too greasy food, and don’t stay in the palace without leaving the house.
……
Wang Zhaoyi looked through the letters of the past and unconsciously shed tears. She tidied up and put it back in the box.
But there is no impermeable wall in the palace. Although there are few palace people around Wang Zhaoyi, there are also insidious and cunning people who think that they can climb up the dragon bed by stepping on the master. When
Wang Zhaoyi’s maid Caiying presented the letters to the emperor, the emperor looked them up one by one without changing her color.
Wang Zhaoyi and Jiang Yuchen knelt upright in front of the hall and fornicated, which was a great sin.
The emperor hated it most when someone betrayed him, and it was his pillow. He looked at the couple in front of him and said leisurely, “I will give you a chance to live.”
Wang Zhaoyi looked up at him. “Kill him and you will live,” said the emperor.
Wang Chao-yi hung her head and looked at Chiang Yu-chen again after a while. Chiang Yu-chen seemed to understand what she meant. “A slave is willing to die..”
Jiang Yuchen drank the poisoned wine in one gulp in front of her and the emperor. He was willing to die as long as she lived.
The maid who accused Wang Zhaoyi of having an affair with the bodyguard was given the title of Baolin by the emperor. When
Wang Zhaoyi walked back to the Weiyang Palace, he was already cold and stiff. Of course, the letters were also burned by the emperor. There is nothing else about him in
the world.
Wang Zhaoyi skillfully spread out the paper and ground the ink. Only one sentence was written: “Long live the mountain. It is sincere and sincere. It is no longer the case to learn from it for a thousand years.”.
Things have changed. On the night of the death of
Jiang’s bodyguard, Wang Zhaoyi committed suicide by hanging a white silk in the Weiyang Palace. If you can’t work together in life, what’s the harm in death?
Wang Zhaoyi only became Wang Zhaoyi in the rumor, and no one in the palace mentioned her again.
Many years later, he Zhirou saw the letter again. After
reading it, she put the letter back in its place, perhaps because the former owner was upset.
At night, He Zhirou lit an ever-burning lantern in the back hill. Few people had been to the back hill, but when he thought about it, the ever-burning lantern should not be a lonely one.
It should be in pairs. In the second year after
he Zhirou became the heir, the emperor made the fifth prince Run the crown prince.
He Zhirou heard Sun Youde, the eunuch in charge, say, “Your Majesty has been working too hard these days. He only sleeps for less than two hours every day and has to get up. The slave is worried about the emperor’s health. The empress should go and persuade the emperor.”
Heart disease is the most difficult to cure, the emperor only hated why he did not discover the treacherous court officials of the former Dynasty earlier, so that his Princess Duanyi, his wife Ah Yan, are still around him.
He Zhirou took the decoction and sent it to the Imperial Study. The emperor did not look at her, but said, “Leave it.”
“This year is a talent show held every three years in the palace. Does the emperor want to take a look at the list of girls?”.
The emperor gazed at the memorial and said lightly, “There are already enough people. There will be no more talent shows.”
He Zhirou said yes and then stepped down. After
autumn, the emperor fell ill. The officials of the former Dynasty could not help sighing as soon as they could not see the emperor.
The emperor didn’t make it through the winter, so he left. A few days before the
emperor left, he ordered people to clean up the Palace of Earthly Tranquility in advance, and he wanted to go in and have a look. The emperor sat inside for a long time, and all the concubines in the palace waited outside.
It was not until Sun Youde knelt on the ground and cried, “Your Majesty, you are dead..” The concubines outside the
Palace of Earthly Tranquility knelt down neatly, some people were crying that they had never seen the emperor several times in their lives, some people were crying that they were only a teenager, but only Jiang Caiyun really loved the emperor and cried for him.
But he Zhirou knew that the emperor, ah, should have gone to heaven to meet the empress.
A month later, the new emperor ascended the throne.
He Zhirou became the queen mother, a flash in the past many years, the people around him were very few.
Some of the late imperial concubines, who had reached the age of twenty-five, were invited to leave the palace and go to the Taikang Temple to pray for the country. Others sealed the toffee and moved in with He Zhirou. Since the emperor left,
Jiang Caiyun asked himself to go out of the palace to pray for the country, and the four princesses were raised by Rong Taifei.
One day, Ho Chih-rou was passing by the gate of the Zhaoyang Palace when she saw that it was locked. She told the palace people, “There is no need to lock the Zhaoyang Palace anymore. Qi Xiuyi served the late emperor and gave birth to three princes. Let her leave the palace tomorrow and go to the Taikang Temple.”
“Yes, the Empress Dowager.” After saluting, the
palace people stepped down, and the heavy chains were bypassed in circles until the gate of Zhaoyang Palace was pushed open.
A ray of light at the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, He Zhirou saw the old friend she had been thinking about for a long time. Although the old friend’s appearance was old, his eyes seemed to have returned to his childhood.
He Zhirou left without saying a word, but when she turned around, her eyes were red. Because from the beginning.. He Zhirou never doubted her.
