As the female emperor of 95, I am pregnant, but I don’t know who the father of the child is,
which is outrageous! The late prince, who has been dead for three years, told me in a dream that the child was his.
Are you polite!
Yesterday was the Flower Festival, the birthday of a hundred flowers. I had a big banquet in the palace. Many royal relatives and noble
children came, and all the families with heads and faces came. I
am a female emperor. I am young, and I don’t even have a serious attendant around me. All the young
people are staring at the golden curtain in front of me hungrily, as if they want to see through the thin
layer of gold gauze.
I have no interest in these hot eyes, and even some anger.
They look at me like they’re looking at prey.
I think they got one thing wrong, and I’m not going to lie flat under them and toss
and turn, and then hand over the power.
As a king and an emperor, I will make them dare not even look up at me.
Then choose a few submissive attendants and make them obedient to me. However, even if I have no interest, some social activities can not be avoided.
My mother’s surname is Xie. Her mother’s family is very powerful. I can’t count how many
cousins I have. My mother asked them to toast me one by one.
I drank a lot of Yutangchun, and I was a little drunk.
My mother sat beside me, squinting at my cousin Hsieh Lung. “Why don’t you take Your Majesty back
to the palace?”
“That won’t be necessary.” I rubbed my forehead and got up without giving him a chance to get close.
My mother hopes to add another queen named Xie to the palace.
But I, thank not sensitive. When I returned to
the Weiyang Palace, I took a bath and went to sleep. The maid of honor gently lit the incense of tranquilization, and then
retreated in unison.
Because of the ferocity of the wine, I soon fell asleep, but someone disturbed my sleep. I
dreamed that I had sexual intercourse with a man whose gestures were rude, who did not know what it meant to take pity on a beautiful woman or
to serve a king, and whose pain made me seem to be tortured.
I woke up crying and sweating and being ravaged.
The bedside soothes the nerves, the incense is red and the light is extinguished, and there is no one in the bedroom, as if nothing had
happened.
But I saw the blood on the dragon bed by the light of the sky. It was dawn outside.
This fact is absurd, and I dare not say it, because it is a great shame. Under the pretext that I had lost something in the palace,
I closed the palace door at the first time, but no suspicious
person was found, and the guards said that there were no outsiders in and out that night.
I can’t help suspecting my cousin, Xie Long.
My mother is very resourceful. It’s not difficult to put a few insiders in my palace. She
may have bribed my palace people, let Xie Long in, and then let people perjure themselves.
I asked the imperial guards to check Xie Long secretly.
Xie Long does have a problem. After he
left the palace banquet, he went straight to Yuxiaolou to drink and go whoring. He stayed there all night. At noon
, he entered the palace and was abused by my mother.
I If it’s
not Xie Long, it must be that person. With a
cold look on my face, I said, “Drive in the Mirror Pavilion.”
As the old saying goes, it’s lonely at the top.
I guard against young men, but I am also afraid of loneliness, I am not around no one.
I raised a noodle in the Mirror Pavilion. As soon as he saw me, he knelt meekly and said, “See Your Majesty.” Instead of letting him get up as usual,
I rubbed my luxurious skirt against his high nose
. “Was it you last night?”
He lowered his head and said, “I don’t know what your majesty is asking.”
“I’ve given you a token of access to the Weiyang Palace, so that you can go in and out through the back door at any time, and
the ladies around me won’t check you or stop you. Even if they see you, they won’t see anyone else besides you
.”
I sat down, folded my left leg on my right, and rubbed the tip of my shoe against his white face. “Tell me,
was it you last night?”. You want to play a joke on me.
He lowered his head even lower and lay on the ground. I don’t know. “Your Majesty is spoiling you so much,” said the maid of honor
beside me, “and you have lost something
. What are you afraid of?”
He said with trepidation, I watched the fireworks by the Taiye Pool yesterday. When I came back, I heard that Your Majesty
had returned to the Weiyang Palace after drinking, so I turned off the lights and went to sleep. All the people in my court can testify.
I was furious. I put my foot on his shoulder and said angrily, “It’s a lie.” Trembling,
he leaned aside, then crawled back and knelt before me. “Your Majesty
, calm down.”. If your majesty is upset, think that I stole it.
He raised his head. He has a handsome face, and when his dark eyes look at me gently,
they remind me of another person in a trance. But he soon lowered his head again, as if he were willing to be beaten
.
I sneered-the man would not have looked so humble and frightened. I
didn’t press him again because I knew he wasn’t lying.
He is weak and quiet, and he never has the courage to do violence to me. I know only too well what
he looks like in bed.
He’s not very good.
I gave him some deer’s penis tonic, and he finally trembled less, but when
I left, he didn’t dare to hug me.
My face is like a hamster, once frightened, it takes a long time to recover. There is nothing
but a face.
I checked for two or three days, but I didn’t find anything, and I didn’t dare to make a big noise, so I had to strengthen
the guard near the bedroom to see if I could catch the fanatic. A
few days later, when I was writing a memorial to the throne in my study, Sui-hsi, the maid of
honor beside me, suddenly ran in and said to me, “this is not good. Cen Sheng has been stabbed by an assassin in Imperial Garden
.”
Cen Sheng is my face. My
heart tightened and I hurried over.
I forbid Cen Sheng to walk, his existence is a secret, I do not want to let others know that I raised him, it will be very troublesome, I do not know how he ran out. When
I arrived, the Imperial Physician was stopping Cen Sheng’s bleeding. He was hit by a sword in the chest. His face was pale and his breath was gossamer. The Imperial Physician said that if he deviated half an inch, he would lose his life.
I took hold of his hand and said, “Who hurt you?”
Cen Sheng said intermittently, “a..” A man in a ghost mask.. As soon as
the voice fell, my mother arrived. She was well informed. She could not hide such a big thing from her.
She frowned at me and said, “Your Majesty has not yet set up his queen, but he has raised his head.”. If you raise them, you raise them, and then you let them be jealous and kill people. Is it good to spread the word?
She thought my two sides were jealous of each other.
I did not dare to argue, between the mother and Cen Sheng, for fear that the mother would see his face.
But Cen Sheng did not know my good intentions, and the boy beside him was also very stupid: “Report to the queen mother, the assassin of our son is not a person, but a ghost!”! The ghost rushed into the Sword Pavilion in broad daylight and tried to kill our son. Our son fled to the Imperial Garden, but he still hurt him!
“What gods and ghosts?” Holding the beads in her hands, she raised her eyebrows and said, “Come on, drag it down.” It is taboo to talk about ghosts and gods in the
palace. The mother was worried that she could not find an opportunity, so she would kill people on the spot. Although Cen Sheng was weak, he was very emotional. When he saw that his boy was going to be dragged away,
he grabbed my sleeve and begged me.
The scene was in a mess, and the mother saw Cen Sheng’s face clearly. Pale as a flash,
she suddenly turned to look at me, raised her hand and slapped me in the face:
“You know..” Do you know what you are doing?!
I got a slap in the face, but I wasn’t afraid. “Does my mother know what she
‘s doing?”
I took out my handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood from the corners of my mouth.
“I’m just raising a head. Why does the queen mother panic?”
Mother’s lips trembled, but she could not speak.
When Cen Sheng was assassinated, our mother and daughter gave tit for tat, and the people around us knelt together.
The queen mother started to hit the emperor, who dare not look up, look at will die. Suddenly, in the
silence, there was a song. An
unexpected person crooned and pushed aside the tender buds of the willow.
It’s your toffee.
Your toffee and my mother were once implacable. When
the father emperor was alive, the mother queen was the queen, but the imperial concubine favored the crown of the six palaces.
She was not only favored, but also gave birth to a son, who was made crown prince at birth and lived in the East Palace.
Unlike my mother, I am the only daughter who can only be raised in the boudoir.
But who knows, in the end, my daughter got Dabao and ascended the throne.
But your toffee has become a crazy woman without a son.
She was crazy and pathetic, and I provided for her. She also knew that her mother hated her deeply, and even if she was delirious and crazy, she seldom left her Liuli Palace. Apart from me, almost no one in the palace remembers her any more.
But today she is dressed in the court dress of a noble imperial concubine, singing the songs of her youth, and coming with flowers and willows.
Her mother looked at her coldly, but she didn’t care at all. Staring at Cen Sheng on the ground, she stopped and then burst into a scream: “My son!”
She rushed up and hugged my face, crying, holding him in her arms, and asked sincerely who had hurt him.
Mother looked at me indifferently.
I turned my face, with a burning half of my face, and looked stubbornly at the Taiye Pool.
Yes, my face head Cen Sheng, and my dead prince brother, look like eight points. In the bitter cry of your toffee, my mother and I tacitly did not mention the first thing again.
We speak with one voice. Cen Sheng is a doctor who went to the palace to repair ancient books. Unfortunately, he was assassinated.
The crazy imperial concubine did not pursue him. She now only regards Cen Sheng as her son.
Whenever someone tried to take Cen Sheng away, she would cry and make trouble. My mother
and I both had ghosts in our hearts, so we let her take Cen Sheng away to recover.
We looked at each other and tacitly returned to the Penglai Palace.
It was the bedroom of the empress Dowager. With a
bang, the white porcelain teacup broke on the ground, and the fox slave was startled. What do
you think! Do you still want propriety, righteousness, honesty, and shame?! Behind closed doors, the queen mother
was furious. “Do you want everyone in the world to know that today’s emperor is a slut
who doesn’t care about human relations?”
“Shouldn’t my mother know better than anyone whether I’m a slut who doesn’t care about human relations?” I lowered
my eyes and picked up the fox slave, who meowed and bit my hand. “If
I were you, I don’t know who is living in the Penglai Palace today.”
Perhaps my voice was too cold, and my mother’s anger slowly dissipated.
She still twisted her eyebrows. “Even so, it’s too much for you to have a face
exactly like that of the late prince.” Seeing that I was just teasing the cat,
she made a decision: “You’d better hurry up.”. You’re no better than
a man. If you want to hold the throne, you have to give birth to an heir quickly. The fox slave ate the pain and bit me, and my fingertips oozed blood beads.
That night, I went back to my bedroom, and after all the ladies had retired, I pushed open the door of the
darkroom. There was only one shrine in the darkroom, with a spirit tablet and red candles and melons
and fruits in front of the spirit, all of which were fresh.
I looked at the portrait of the prince’s brother for a while and said, “My mother forced me to become queen.”. My years are here
, and I can’t escape this time.
I offered a stick of incense, and the ashes of the incense fell on the wound, burning it painfully.
I have the world now, but there is no one to hold my hand and wrap my wound gently
. The day after the
election is coming soon.
I sat in the Palace of Gathered Elegance bored, because the bottom down, and I
can not count the number of Xie cousin.
My mother sat beside me and bragged about them all.
I am indifferent, just bow my head and peel the fresh grapes offered by the western regions.
“Next, the Number One Scholar, Song Tiao, has an audience.”
I yawned in the middle and went back, finally letting me wait for someone with a different surname.
“No need to kneel.” Before the graceful Number One Scholar saluted, I threw the silk ball at
his feet and said, “Just you.”
The eunuch asked me carefully, “What kind of concubine?” Before
I could open my mouth, my mother said, “Song Lang’s character and appearance are all excellent, but he was born a little humble. Let’s make him a sixth-grade talent first.”
I shut my mouth and looked at the number one man. I wanted to make him a queen.
My mother added, “You and your cousin grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. He hasn’t married for you yet. What did you give him?”
“He likes to go to brothels to pick flowers so much, so let’s make him a picker.” I looked at my mother, who was so angry with me that she could not speak. She stood up lightly and said, “That’s all for today.” Two more people lived in
my harem that night.
One is Song Tiao, the new Number One Scholar who won three yuan in a row, and the other is my cousin Xie Long, who likes to linger in brothels.
My mother was very cruel to me when I was a child.
Because she failed to give birth to a son, the East Palace was occupied by others, and she often vented at me in no place.
No one knew that the only apple of the late emperor’s eye was covered with bruises under his beautiful robe.
Even though I am now the son of heaven, she tries to control me and control me. I didn’t comply with her wishes in the matter of Li Hou, so she used an excuse to welcome Xie Long and hold a big banquet. In the middle of the banquet, the rest of the people retired, leaving only me and Xie Long in the hall.
At this time, my body is also hot and dry. I looked at the wine in my glass and snorted. My mother really did everything she could to use such
a trick.
I threw away Hsieh Lung, who was trying to put his arm around my waist, and said, “Send Song Tiao.”
She wanted me to visit Xie Long, but I wanted to visit Song Tiao.
Song Tiao will be here soon.
He was still dressed in his daytime robes, as if he were going to court, and of all the handsome men who came to the talent show
, he was the most simply dressed.
“Don’t you want to be elected to the palace?” I fell fatigue on the couch.
“It used to be, but now it’s not.” Song Tiao’s eyes are thin and long, and there is a shrewdness
hidden in his elegance. “Your Majesty is in a dangerous situation. If I can come to the harem to serve Your Majesty, I will be able to fulfill my heart
.”
“Heartfelt?” My mother’s aphrodisiac was so poisonous that my head was about to turn into a pile
of paste. I glanced at the dragon bed next to it.
Song Tiao, however, took out a memorial to the throne from his bosom and said, “I have a plan for your majesty to get rid of the disaster of consorts
.”
I
In the middle of the night, in the bedroom, in the fragrance of joy. My face was flushed and my heart was pounding.
And Song Tiao, holding the memorial to the throne, read his reform plan in my ear.
“Don’t read it.” Feeling bored, I peeled a grape and looked up at him. “Have you ever served
a woman?”
Song Tiao quieted down.
I sat and he stood, and he was in the shadow of the lamp, and his face was not clear.
He looked at me for a moment, then knelt down and caught my fingers hanging by my side.
Grape juice trickled down my fingertips.
His eyes were long and burning.
“Very good.” I pulled my hand out of his mouth and looked down at him. “Now
, take a shower.” When
Song Tiao left, his clothes were in the wind and his footsteps were fast.
I looked at his back, took out my handkerchief and wiped my fingers
carefully.
Song Tiao is a smart man, and it is a good choice to help him ascend. I
took the medicine and became more and more delirious. I waited for Song Tiao on the dragon bed.
He came back soon, blew out the lights, and we had sex. But I soon realized that this man was not Song Tiao.
Because he treated me very roughly, I was woken up by the pain in the gentle village again!
This time I’m not drunk: “Dare!” When
I opened my eyes, it was late and dark. I looked out of the moonlit window, where the silhouette of Song Wang
Qingjun paced back and forth.
“Song..” I opened my mouth to scream, and a big hand covered my mouth.
I looked up in horror, and a ferocious ghost mask appeared in the darkness, with blue face and fangs,
angry and crazy.
The fanatic then blindfolded me and then tied my hands. I felt the
cold dragon embroidery. He pressed my hands on the top of my head.
I was kissed on the mouth by him, my whole body was weak, and I was subjected to violence, and such love was like
a storm.
I woke up and fainted again. I don’t know how many times. The morning bell rang in the distance.
I.. I’ll kill you.. I gnash my teeth.
“Oh.” I heard a sniff in my ear.
The next day, I was awakened by a scream. The big maid beside
me shook me awake and put on my clothes in a panic: “Your Majesty,
it’s not good, Xie Tainan.” He’s dead! I didn’t
care to catch the fanatic, so I put on my clothes and rushed outside. Xie Long died in the unobtrusive bushes outside the bedroom hall, and his throat was cut cleanly. His eyes were wide, as if he had seen something terrible before he died. It was the Hsieh family that
died, and her mother was furious: “Well, the first day I went to the palace, I was killed.”
She cast her eyes on Song Tiao.
Song Tiao took one look at me and immediately knelt down. “I want to report to the Empress Dowager that I was with the emperor last night.”
I don’t know why Song Tiao lied. Did he kill Xie Long?
Song Tiao is one of mine, and naturally I want to protect him. “Yes, I was lucky to see Song Tiao last night. He spent the night in my bedroom.” Everyone
knew that I had passed on Song Tiao. Everyone knew that I couldn’t get up this morning. My mother was unwilling and unable to do so. She only ordered me to find out the murderer quickly and give an explanation to my uncle’s family. After
she left, I asked Song Tiao, “Why did you kill Hsieh Lung?”
Song Tiao was greatly surprised. “Isn’t the murderer the head of the emperor?”
It turned out that last night, Song Tiao came back from the bath and found someone in my bedroom.
He had heard the rumor that I had raised the head of the face in the palace. “So when I heard the noise inside, I thought it was the head of the face before me, and I didn’t know whether I should join in or not.” I thought Song Tiao was a serious man, but I didn’t expect him to walk up and down outside the window yesterday for
this, so I couldn’t help coughing twice.
He looked at me and said, “I’m new here. I thought I’d better not join you
, so I went to the side hall to sleep for a night.”
He thought that the real murderer was my face, so he covered up for him the truth that “a man other
than him came to the Weiyang Palace last night.” However, my face is still lying in your imperial concubine’s
Liuli Palace, unable to climb up at all!
“The man who killed Hsieh Lung climbed into my bed.” I told him with a cold face.
Song’s face sank inch by inch.
He is too clever not to understand what it means.
He witnessed my rape, but missed the real killer for stupid reasons.
“Pull him out, or wash the bucket.” I was so upset that I left.
Song Tiao is a very capable person, and he pulled out a maid from my palace that day. When
I went over, Song Tiao, holding a whip in his hand, reported, “a ghost mask
was found in her room.” Then
he went to the bloody maid on the chair and raised her chin
with the handle of his whip. “Speak to Your Majesty yourself.” There was a strong smell of blood in the
courtyard. I tell you that it was the late Crown Princess who ordered me.. She, she gave me a sum of money
to put on this ghost mask to frighten the emperor. The maid
with blood all over her face said in a gossamer tone.
I clenched the veil in my hand. “Did you kill Hsieh Lung?”
She knelt down and kept kowtowing to me, “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me. I didn’t kill
Hsieh’s little Marquis. I haven’t used that mask yet..” Your Majesty’s warning!
Song Wang stood in front of me, blocking her outstretched hand and keeping her blood from touching my
skirt.
“She should not be lying. She is not the murderer.” Later, when we went to Linzhi
Palace by car, Song said to me in a low voice.
He thought the same thing as me: it couldn’t have been a woman who raped me. It is not a woman who can wipe
Xie Long’s neck with a knife.
But we all know that this matter is probably related to the first Crown Princess.
The imperial chariot passed by in the corridor, and we each meditated and had nothing to say for a moment.
Song Tiao is still a plain white dress today, with a faint fragrance of ink on his body, but
I always vaguely smell the strong smell of blood in the backyard.
It made me feel restless, thinking of the punishments I received when I was a child. The
whip is very painful. The first time I was seen strange by the prince’s brother, it was because
the archery class could not catch up with those accompanying students in the school, and my mother beat me severely with
a whip. I was wounded and had a strange gait. The prince’s brother called me to the porch and asked me what was
going on.
I am not familiar with him, and I suffered because of him, I am a woman, he
is a man, so simple, so I hate him from an early age, do not want to say a word to him
.
Always gentle as jade, he took my arm and peeled off my
collar when I passed by.
I gave him a slap in the face, and he dragged me into the East Palace and found a doctor to give me
medicine.
At that time, I was fourteen years old, which was the most hated age, and he must hate me very much.
But his eyes were red that day.
My prince brother was born with a heart of mercy.
I looked at Song’s hand. His hands are clean, but they are not as beautiful
as my brother’s.
The first imperial concubine was surnamed Wang. After the elder brother of the crown prince passed away, she lived in the Linzhi Palace as a widow. When
we went in, she was stuffing books into the brazier and seemed to be in a hurry. When she saw
me, she rushed out to hit me like she used to: “You bitch!”! You killed
him! And tried to take him away!
Her appearance today is particularly ferocious.
Song Tiao looked thin, but his strength was really not small. He held her down and said, “Your Highness, please respect yourself.”
“What a crazy thing to say in broad daylight.” I stepped over the brazier and picked up the half of the book that had been burned to pieces. “The whole world knows that the late prince died on the wedding night. How dare you, the woman who ordered Rickoff, blame me for being a murderer?”
“I see..” My widowed sister-in-law stared at her almond eyes, which were bloodshot. You came to the East Palace that night, you came to the East Palace! You killed him!
I raised the corner of my eye.
“The emperor is the younger sister of the late prince, and naturally the emperor will go to his wedding.” Song Tiao answered her calmly, his tone somewhat soothing. Then
he turned to me and asked, “Would you like to ask the Imperial Physician to see the madness of the late Crown Princess?”
“She has been mad for many years.” I shook the ashes, only half of the book was left, and the cover was faintly visible. “Fang Lu” two words.
I was just going to ask my widowed sister-in-law why she was in the mood to play with me recently, when your toffee came in hurriedly.
“Your Majesty.” She also looks very good today, and treats me very kindly. “Your Majesty, Cen Sheng has woken up and is saying that he wants to see Your Majesty.” When she had
finished, she seemed to have just seen her daughter-in-law’s shamefully disheveled hairpin. “Is Waner sick again?” She cried? Where’s her medicine? Don’t you minions see that she’s young and widowed, so you don’t care about yourself?
She was lecturing people, taking medicine, and pouring it down to Wang herself.
I watched with interest.
Your imperial concubine is also surnamed Wang, and Wang is her own niece. When she failed to become the queen, she
wanted to hold a queen surnamed Wang out, did not expect that no matter the queen mother or the queen, the Wang family
did not get. The first prince passed away just a few years ago. In order to survive, the Wangs have
been fighting in front of me.
I wonder if she now regrets that she had to choose her own niece to enter the palace.
Wang cried and vomited all the juice. She pointed her finger at me and cursed me. The imperial concubine looked at my
face and smiled. “Your Majesty, it’s getting late. Cen Sheng is still waiting for Your Majesty
.”. Your Majesty hasn’t been to the Liuli Palace for a long time. I’ve prepared some food and wine. Why don’t you..
She hadn’t been so nice to me for a long time, and I was very pleased. “It’s natural to go to my mother’s concubine
to show filial piety. Let’s go.”
I picked up the expensive toffee and left, talking and laughing.
Before I left, I suddenly remembered something. I turned to Wang and said, “You haven’t gone through the wedding
candles, and you haven’t offered sacrifices to the ancestral temple. When you die, you can’t go to the imperial mausoleum to be buried with the late prince
.”. There is no place for you in the ancestral temple.
So he was never yours.
Naturally, there is no such thing as grabbing or not. I haven’t been to
the Liuli Palace for a long time. In the past, when the prince’s brother was still alive, I often followed
him here to eat. At that time, I felt that your imperial concubine was the most gentle mother in the world. The almond dew she boiled with her own hands was very sweet, and she also took pity
on me, the only imperial concubine. I was taught to
dress up and draw my eyebrows by your toffee, and my mother wished she could let me go to war.
Probably because of the bloodline, the prince’s brother thrush is also better than me.
But that was a long time ago.
Your toffee has been crazy for many years, and her condition is the same as Wang’s. It’s just right recently.
I looked at the way she treated Cen Sheng courteously, presumably because Cen Sheng looked like him
.
He sat on the left hand side of the noble toffee, and I sat on the right hand side of the noble toffee. What
a scene of family happiness.
Cen Sheng got a sword, and now he can get up, but he looks even thinner. “Did Your Majesty catch the assassin?” He asked me with a pale face
. The maid at
your imperial concubine’s side served me almond dew, and I tasted it. It was the taste of
my childhood: “I will give you an explanation.”
“Then who is he?” Cen Sheng looked at Song Tiao, who was eating quietly.
“Oh, let me introduce you.” I picked up my handkerchief and wiped the corners of my lips. Song
Tiao was the second Number One Scholar in my Dynasty to win three yuan in a row, and now he is a talented person of the sixth grade. The matter
of the assassin has been handed over to him.
Song Chengchong Cen Sheng nodded slightly. Cen Sheng turned his face and left soon after.
I went in to look for him after dinner. He was painting at his desk, and I put my arms around his
waist from behind.
“Your Majesty..”
“Don’t talk.” I pressed my face against his back. The sunshine
outside the window was just right, and the magpie fell on the plum tree. There are many magpies in
the Liuli Palace. I don’t know if it is the one that my brother and I fed
. When
I led Cen Sheng out, your imperial concubine was talking to Song Tiao, with two
cups of tea in front of her. When they
saw me, they stood up in unison. “Cen has almost recovered
from his illness,” the imperial concubine said with a smile. “It’s time to go back to the Mirror Pavilion to serve the emperor.”
“No, he lives here.” The corners of my mouth turned up and I said, “It’s just right for him to live here, so he can
spend more time with his mother.”
Your toffee is still smiling, but her smile is not in her eyes. When she saw me looking at her, her eyes
drifted to one side.
“Yes, Cen Sheng has suffered so much, and he should be rewarded. Let me think about it.” How many grades
of Shijun can be blackened? The imperial concubine was an old lady in the palace, but she still looked away and did not answer me.
Song Tiao reminded me, “Your Majesty, you can wear court clothes if you are above the fourth rank.”
“Your honor, then.”
Song Tiao nodded to Cen Sheng and said, “Congratulations.”
Cen Sheng was very happy and refused to let go of my hand. “When will the emperor come?”
“I will come here often.” I patted his hand.
My court is still black, black is respected, all the court clothes are black, even I am also a black
dress.
I have hardly seen the prince’s brother wearing clothes of other colors. On the way
back to the palace, I asked Song Tiao, “Your imperial concubine and you seem to be very congenial.”
“The imperial concubine was afraid that the minister would be left out in the cold, so she chatted with him about her daily life.”
“Oh, did I snub you?” I turned around slightly and looked at the number
one man with the jade bone. “Then I’ll also chat with you about your daily life.”
Sung Tiao was not impressed, and his expression was as light as ever: “Your imperial concubine asked me where I was from
, how many people were in the family, but they were from the imperial capital. Were there any sisters or brothers in the family who were married
?”
“Well..” Do you have any sisters or brothers? I can give them a marriage. Today, in the presence of your imperial concubine,
I sealed the fourth grade of Cen Sheng. It’s
not too much to get married with a few more fingers. Song Tiao shook his head and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty!”! No need. My sisters and brothers are all poor and humble
. I,
the Number One Scholar, am really a man who can achieve great things. I don’t look like a poor boy at all.
I saw him at a glance in the palace examination, and it was inevitable. When
we went back to the Weiyang Palace, many people came to the queen mother.
Vermilion boxes, like running water, were given to Song Tiao.
“It seems that your mother also thinks you are a rare talent.” I raised the corners of my mouth.
“I dare not.” Song Wang bowed his head.
As a suspect in the murder of Xie Long, he really dared not.
We are very careful. That night, Song Tiao dined in my palace, and I let him stay with me
temporarily. He was a wise man, and I didn’t have to remind him that he didn’t
touch anything that his mother sent him.
But even so, before going to bed, Song Tiao fell down.
I watched Song Tiao, delirious and bleeding from his seven orifices, anxiously
pacing up and down behind the group of imperial physicians: “I want to live.”
His pale face overlapped with that of the prince’s brother.
I don’t want to lose anyone else in this palace. The diagnosis of the doctors is not optimistic, Song Tiao is indeed poisoned, it is difficult to pull out, he woke up for a short time in the middle
.
“Your Majesty.” He called me to him and took out a jade pendant from his bosom.
No matter what he encounters, he is indifferent, cold and rational, but at this time
he bends his eyes slightly and smiles a little.
“I have nothing but this jade pendant, which is more valuable.”
“I want you to live.”
“That’s what Your Majesty wants.” He stretched out his hand and hung the jade pendant on my waist. “That
‘s what I want.”
He looked up into my eyes. “I want Your Majesty to remember me.”
Even I have a touch of emotion: “I naturally remember you.”. There were more than ten people in the imperial examination, but I only
remember you.
“So is my minister.” Blood welled up from the corners of his mouth when
he finished. “It’s a pity I was born poor and humble. It’s too late. Your Majesty
already has someone in mind.”
He shook his head in self-mockery and closed his eyes. The doctors
rushed over and surrounded him. I was silent for a while and drew out
my sword.
Amid the screams of the palace maids and guards, I rushed into the Penglai Hall.
This Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, but I aimed my sword at my mother: “You vicious woman!”! I have never seen anyone more cold-hearted and cold-blooded than you!
The guards rushed in and surrounded me, and I kicked over two or three of them, with dishevelled hair, while my mother was like a God sitting in the shadow of a lamp, gloomy and solemn.
I paced up and down in the same place, raising my sword: “From childhood to adulthood, I have done everything according to your will. I have done what I can do, and I have done what I can’t do, but you are still not satisfied with me.”. Today Xie Long even alive, I will not marry him, you clearly know this matter, why take Song Tiao to operate? What did Sung Tiao do wrong?!
Mother sat upright in the back seat, gazed at my waist, and did not speak.
My anger is burning: “Ha ha, I understand.”. They did not do anything wrong, just fell in love with me, the mother will feel dazzling, must break up all the lovers in the world to feel comfortable and happy! First. My sweetheart is now Song Tiao. When the
queen mother heard this, she raised her eyes and forced out an impenetrable smile. “What’s the matter with Your Majesty?”
I threw the jade pendant with blood at her feet.
Her mother picked up the jade carefully and played with it. “Is it because of Song Tsai?” She asked.
She had never been so careful with me, even weak, and I snorted, suppressing my anger.
“It’s not a big deal.” She summoned Mammy to her side and said, “Follow the emperor to the Weiyang Palace.” Mammy has been in the palace for decades. She took care of me when I was a child. I know that she studied medical books and was more skilled in medicine than ordinary doctors.
Sung Tiao was killed today as soon as he found out about Hsieh Lung. I’m afraid someone in the Hsieh family deliberately retaliated. If anything happens to Song Tiao, I will bring Hsieh Lung’s family to trial. My reason has returned, and I mention my mother coldly. If she lets Mammy run wild again, I’m going to go after the family she values most.
The mother was silent. She is silent too much today.
Before I left, I heard a sigh from behind me: “Although the Ai family is a vicious woman, the Ai family never plots against the people they love. The emperor himself knows best how the emperor’s sweetheart died. Instead, he blames the Ai family for being the most cold-blooded and cold-hearted person in the harem..” Ha-ha
I tripped over the threshold, but fortunately Mammy held my arm.
With Mammy’s miraculous cure, Song Tiao had a near miss. When he opened his eyes, I named him Shaoqing. There was no movement from the mother’s side, but Mammy asked me to take the eight characters of Song Tiao’s birthday to Qin Tianjian to ask. Qin Tianjian thought it was auspicious, so it was logical. But Cen Sheng refused to pay attention to me from then on, and gave me a look back. I felt bored, and gradually stopped going to him. After two months of
this, one day I took a walk in the Imperial Garden and slipped down carelessly. I used to be in good health, not to mention wrestling, falling off the horse is also common, but this time the abdominal pain is unbearable, people are also a little fainting. At this time, I felt someone picked me up from behind, and the smell on his body was very good, which was the ambergris commonly used by Prince’s brother. No one in the palace dares to use ambergris except him and me!
I woke up with a start. I was already in the Weiyang Palace. The Imperial Physician felt my pulse. When I woke up, he
knelt down and kowtowed, saying, “Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Song Shaoqing. Your Majesty is
happy.” Song Wang, who
accompanied me, trembled and then lowered his eyebrows.
“It was a bit bumpy, but fortunately it wasn’t a big problem.” The Imperial Physician gave me some tocolytics
and told me some important things. I asked him to go down first and keep his mouth shut. At
the same time, this sentence was also told to Song Tiao. A few days later,
I took the lead in going to the Imperial Concubine’s Liuli Palace. I went straight to Cen Sheng and said,
“I’m pregnant, and the baby is yours.” The teacup
in Cen Sheng’s hand broke to the ground.
I had not spent the night with Cen Sheng for a long time, and I had never spent the night with Song Tiao.
That night I went to the Empress Dowager’s Palace to ask for an explanation for him. What my mother said made me
uneasy, and I stayed away from Song Tiao. Although I am the emperor of the real dragon, my desire is
shallow.
Counting the days, this child can only be.
My first child was a bastard.
But he can’t be a bastard.
He needs a father. I looked at Cen Sheng, whose eyes collided with mine in midair, and then he moved
the corners of his mouth with an expressionless face: “I am too humble to be the father of the eldest son of the emperor.”
I picked up the teacup and threw it in front of him. “How dare you!”
“I have to take medicine every time I serve your majesty, and your majesty never allows me to leave anything in it
..” Cen Sheng’s face was pale, but he was very stubborn. “I’m just a plaything after all, and I can’t take on
such a heavy responsibility.”
I was so angry that I had abdominal pain. When I came out, I ordered someone to put him into the cold palace.
I thought he was a gentle and sensible man, and I gave him the chance to raise the eldest
son of the emperor, but he refused to admit it. When
the imperial concubine saw me coming out, she quickly took up a bowl of eight-treasure soup and said, “Your Majesty, why are you so angry with Cen Sheng
?”
She saw me with a sullen face and kind and gentle eyes.
I collected myself and said, “Nothing.”
“Then your Majesty will have lunch before leaving.” She pulled me to sit down.
She is a good cook. Although I have severe morning sickness these days, I still use a lot. I recognize
that many of them are tocolytic medicated diets. I use a lot these days, so I am familiar with them. I
just don’t know how your toffee knows I’m pregnant. There’s really no
impermeable wall in this palace. As
we were eating, Song Tiao came over and said, “I heard that Your Majesty has come to the Liuli Palace, and I can’t rest assured
.” He sat down and gave me a bowl of sour soup. With Cen Sheng in front, the more quietly he is, the more I feel he is gentle and considerate. “What do you have to worry about?”
The imperial concubine said discontentedly. “I’m going to
eat your majesty.” She didn’t seem to be very satisfied with Song Tiao. When I
got back, I asked Song Tiao tentatively, “Do you know who this child belongs to?”
Song Tiao knelt down and said, “Your Majesty, it’s mine.”
“Very good.”
He is so obedient that I don’t have to waste my time to find a strange man to fill the palace and
confuse the real with the fake.
But then he looked up and kissed me, and he had the audacity to clasp the back of my
neck.
His fingers were slightly cold, and he held them on the back of my neck, impulsively and forcefully, which was not my favorite feeling
.
“You are out of line.” I warned him.
“I have transgressed the rules.” Song Tiao’s arm was wrapped around my lips and he chuckled
. “But for the father of the emperor’s eldest son, is this out of line?”
I can read his eyes, and I have looked at a person with this kind of love.
So I broke away and said coldly, “This is your blessing, and you should not ask for
more.” Song Tiao lost his temper with me all night, and then it was the same as usual.
I tested him several times, but he kept his mouth shut, so I made it public.
Your toffee was busy congratulating me and sending the tocolytic medicine to my palace. I asked the Imperial Physician to examine it, and there was no
problem. I can’t figure out the intention of this noble imperial concubine. Although I like to be close to her,
she hates me deeply after the death of the prince’s brother. This period of time is too abnormal,
as if there has been no unhappiness between us.
My mother finally did not become a demon this time. She called me over with joy and said that she could
seal Song Tiao a little higher.
“The one in the cold palace who faced the capital has been given the title of minister. Now that Song Tiao has given you the eldest son, you should be given the throne anyway
.”
The monarch is equal to the imperial concubine.
I gave it on the spot. Song Tiao received the reward neither too salty nor too light, and his mother gave him the four treasures of the study and
left him to have a meal at the Penglai Palace that day.
When I sat with Song Tiao and the Empress Dowager, I could not help feeling that the prince’s brother had never enjoyed such
treatment. When he was alive, his mother rejected him and forbade him to come to the palace to pay his respects.
Even if I know what happened between me and him later, I will not see him.
“The Queen Mother loves you very much.” Later, I mentioned Song Tiao on the imperial chariot.
“All by the grace of His Majesty.”
“It’s good that you know.” I put my hand on his palm and got off the chariot. “I have something important to tell you,” said Dr. Chin Tien-chien, who was waiting at the foot of the steps.
The last time I captured half a book from the first Crown Princess, I thought it was a record of the book, so I gave it to
Qin Tianjian for identification. I turned around and said, “Go ahead.” The full name of
this ancient book is Sui Shi Fang Lu, which is said to have been written by Prince Qiao of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Wang
Ziqiao was originally the crown prince of King Ling of Zhou, but he became an immortal under Fuqiu Gong. He has been gone for thirty
years, but when he comes back, his appearance is not old. Later, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, someone saw him and got
this book from him. A bolt from the blue in
my head. Prince. Cultivate immortals.
What do you mean? Prince. Is the prince not dead? I blinked my eyes
quickly. Dr.
Chin Tien-chien said with a smile, To cultivate an immortal body is naturally immortal. The Sui Shi Fang Lu
also records many methods of cultivating immortals by inhaling and guiding. But this book is famous all
over the world because even if you are not an immortal, you can use its magic array to summon the spirits of the dead.
“Summon the dead!” I thought to myself, “Can you bring people back from the dead?” “I haven’t tried it, and I don’t know,” said Dr.
Chin Tien-chien.
“How?” I snatched the books, but they were all damaged, and the handwriting was not very clear.
“Your Majesty, please atone for your sins, because there is only half a copy left, and I have been reading it day and night, but I
haven’t found a complete pithy formula.”
I told the maid, “Prepare the palanquin.” “Where is Your Majesty going?”
“Linzhi Palace.”
I didn’t expect my widowed sister-in-law to give me such a big surprise! When
I rushed into the Linzhi Palace, Wang was already asleep, but I heard the sound
of vomiting, and the maid of honor was serving her bedside with a basin. With a crash,
I lifted the curtain and held up half a copy of Sui Shi Fang Lu. “Have you ever
used the magic to summon..” Summoned a man.
The woman laughed viciously, “Do you dare to call his name, huh?”! You keep
saying that you didn’t do it. Do you dare to call out his name, Your Majesty? The word “
Your Majesty” was so harsh in her mouth that I took a step back: “That is to say, the prince’s
brother really came..”
“He was more than here.” She put her hand on her stomach and looked at me viciously.
“He left me a child.” There was a buzz in
my head, and I almost fainted on the spot. The maid of honor was busy serving me and sitting on the
couch. After a
while, everyone came, the queen mother, Song Tiao, and then a few doctors. As soon as they
got in, the toffee came.
Wang burst out laughing and announced to the world, “I am pregnant. I am the child of the first prince and
the heir to the throne. None of you can touch me!”
The Empress Dowager frowned and scolded, “What are you talking about?”! It’s been three years since the late prince passed away. Where did you get such a child? Then she
asked the doctor to feel her pulse. “Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager,” said
several imperial physicians after they had examined her, “Your Highness, the late Crown Princess, has no happy pulse.”
“Hum, the Ai family is really crazy to see her.” The Empress Dowager asked the palace people to bring her the medicinal soup and pour it down. As she struggled, the pillow hidden in her stomach slipped down and fell to the ground.
Your toffee said, “This child..” I can’t bear to see it.
But she was Wang’s own aunt, so she came forward and patted her softly: “Your Majesty, Waner is like this now. I want to take her to the Liuli Palace to take care of her. It’s better than her staying alone in the palace and continuing to say some crazy words about heresy.”
The Empress Dowager looked down at her and said, “Why, are you still afraid that the Ai family can’t take good care of her?”? Even if the mourning family can’t take care of the golden branches and jade leaves of your royal family, can’t Song Jun take care of them and ask you, the noble imperial concubine, to work hard in person? Then what does Your Majesty do with these juniors? The last time
I sealed the throne of Song, he is now the highest position in the harem, nominally he is in charge of the harem, although he is in charge of Cen Sheng alone.
Wang Shi this woman I can’t let her die for the time being, she has to hold in my hand, if you give the imperial concubine to pick up, I’m afraid beyond reach, and give the mother to take away, this person is gone directly, only to Song Tiao can let me have a good interrogation.
I looked at Song Tiao and said, “Did you hear what my mother said?” “Yes,” Sung said.
After seeing the two princes off, I asked Song to examine Wang for a while. Wang only looked at me faintly and said, “I’m pregnant with the child of the first prince, and I’m going to be the emperor in the future.”
Her eyes were so sarcastic and condescending that I couldn’t tell for a moment whether it was true or not.
If what she said were all lies, she would never have “Sui Shi Fang Lu” and tried every means to burn it. If she was telling the truth, she kept saying that she was pregnant with the child of the first prince. The doctor said that she was not pregnant.
My thoughts drifted away in a trance, leaving first on the pretext of a headache, and then entering the darkroom in the bedroom, holding a candlestick and looking at the small statue of the prince.
Is that you? Did you come back? It must be you.. I wiped away my tears, and my eyes gradually cleared. “You hate me, so you torture me, and she knows that, so she said last time that I killed you and took you away!”! Yes A normal person wouldn’t say that. If she hasn’t seen you recently, she should reverse the order. My
heart was filled with great joy, and I looked at his soft eyes and said, “You must, must still be alive!”
I ordered a few trusted followers and went out of the palace to the imperial mausoleum overnight. I was very tired, but the sky was full of morning stars. Tonight I had to examine the coffin in person so that I could feel at ease.
But when they finally broke down the imperial mausoleum and opened the coffin, all I saw was a pair of.. Dry bones. I knelt down and picked up the bones, and soon made sure that they did belong to the late prince
.
Because my brother jumped down from the high platform of the East Palace on the wedding day.
My brother, the emperor of Jiyue, had broken bones all over his body after he died.
I let out a wail and fainted beside his dry bones. I didn’t dare to cry when he passed away,
as if I wanted to return his tears three years ago.
The guards stood in silence beside me like an iron tower, and when I was tired of crying, one of them came
forward and carried me back into the carriage. I dreamed of the ghost face man again
that night.
He finally lifted his mask, and I stroked his face in disbelief, but dared
not touch it-I had just seen his remains. But he grasped my hand and pressed it against the side of
his face, and his skin was warm and moist, with the coolness of a cold night.
He was the same man he had been three years ago, young and raw, when he was twenty years old, just the age of a weak champion
.
He married his cousin Wang in the year of the weak crown.
“And you have a child with her..” In the dream, I just said the jealousy that I never
dared to show.
“Her children have nothing to do with me.” The prince’s brother held my wrist and
kissed it inch by inch. His eyes were gentle and quiet. “Your child is mine.” I gave a little sob and he soothed me with his lips.
Finally, he put his hand on my lips and whispered, “Beware of Song Tiao.”
I opened my eyes slowly, and there was a smell of ambergris hovering in the carriage. More distant leak ring
, the sky has turned white, Song Wang lifted the curtain of the car.
“Where did Your Majesty go?” He seemed calm, but his tone was more anxious than usual.
“Go out for a walk.” I want to stand up, but I have no strength at all.
Song Tiao came in and wrapped me in my cloak and carried me back to my bedroom. “Your Majesty is
pregnant. You can’t run around like this any more, do you know?”
He put me on the dragon bed and rubbed the tip of my nose when he lowered his head. His face was
cold, as if he had been outside all night, but his breath was hot. He tried to
kiss me with his head down, but I dodged. After
that day, I gave Song a palace somewhere else, claiming that I wanted to raise
the fetus alone, but in fact I couldn’t stand other men.
If there is a glimmer of hope that my brother is still here, I don’t want to settle for it.
He’s been here three times. It
‘s funny to say that I never enjoyed such tenderness before he died.
No matter how much we admire each other, we have not crossed the line, in love,
in courtesy, because we are brother and sister. But the throb was stronger because it was secret.
At that time, he was willing to give me anything in the East Palace as long as I wanted. My father wouldn’t let
me go to Taixue, so he argued strongly that I should be enrolled in school, ignoring that I was two years
younger than him and let me go to the same class with him, just to see each other day and night. Xie Lang gave me the marriage
certificate. He blocked Xie Lang in the stable and beat him half to death in the hunting ground. I followed my mother
to Taihang Mountain to worship Buddha, and he ran more than a thousand miles to see me for a short time. After all, I am a
girl, and my father can’t spoil me more than he dotes on me, and my mother hates me.
I have only tasted what it is to be favored in the hands of my brother.
The world says that we have a good relationship between brother and sister, and we have a tacit understanding because we can’t
see the light.
“Give me a baby..” He kissed me.
I think we are all crazy, as if there is no life and death between us.
I also suffered retribution. Before I
was about to give birth, I asked the Imperial Physician, “a mother in the palace who had given birth said that the baby was restless in the belly
and often moved. Why does my baby never move?” Sweating profusely,
the Imperial Physician knelt down in front of me and said, “I’m afraid it’s because
the eldest son of the emperor sympathizes with the dragon’s body.”
“It must be so.” I swear to say. On the day of the
birth, I was in pain for ten hours. I was in great pain and exhausted. But I didn’t
dare to close my eyes. I had to look at it before I dared to sleep. But I didn’t hear the baby crying. All
they gave me was a stillborn fetus.
I had a serious illness. “You and Sung Jun are still young,” said the
queen mother in the tone of an experienced person. “There will be more
.” That’s very easy to say.
Song Tiao stood behind her with a bandage, while the imperial concubine sat beside her crying bitterly.
“Why are you crying?” Mother asked, neither salty nor light.
The imperial concubine wiped away her tears and said, “The palace has not been peaceful recently. On the day Your Majesty gave birth, someone
assassinated Song Jun..”
“What time is it for you to talk to Your Majesty about this?” Her mother gave her a sidelong glance.
The toffee closed her mouth. “Then I’ll go and cook porridge for Your Majesty.”
The mother’s face was cold and thoughtful.
They urged me to give the little princess a decent burial, and I called Qin Tianjian: “What kind of coffin
can keep the body from decaying?”
Qin Tianjian tried again and again to dissuade me, but I told him, “I’m just a child who loves me.”
They built an ice coffin and buried the little princess in the ice cellar under the bedroom
.
I told half the truth.
The other half was that since her father was a dead man, it was possible for her to wake up one day.
A few days later, while I was looking at my children in the Weiyang Palace, I suddenly heard an angry shout from behind me: “Are you crazy?!”
When I turned around, it was Song Tiao.
He grabbed my wrist and pulled me out. “How could you do this to the body of the princess?” Then
he saw the little statue of the emperor’s elder brother in the Chamber of Secrets. He looked at me with inexplicable pity and said, “a dead man cannot be brought back to life.”. I don’t know why your majesty thinks this is an adventure, but your majesty was only raped by a wicked man and gave birth to an evil seed, that’s all.
I slapped him in the face. “Get out of here.” Instead of bowing his head humbly
as usual, he untied his collar one by one: “Your Majesty is obsessed with an assassin, but I, a serious servant, have not been able to get close to your Majesty so far, so that now your Majesty is too sad and delirious, and I am guilty.”
He put his arms around my waist and took me into his arms. I will give you another child. When
he kissed me, I grabbed the candle on the table.
“I have given you a high position, incalculable wealth, fame and honor, and even made you the nominal father of the eldest daughter of the emperor. What are you not satisfied with?”
The candle was only an inch away from his eyes, and his eyes burned like sparks. What am
I not satisfied with? Ha ha! Does Your Majesty think it’s enough to give me some empty honor? With a sarcastic laugh, he went into the Chamber of Secrets and tore the statue of his brother apart in front of me.
“I don’t want those empty things. I want you.” He held me in his bosom in the fury of my wrath, and brought me up from behind. I smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
I relegated him to the doghouse.
Song Tiao has never lost his temper like this, and I think he was inexplicably terrible that night. When I
put Song Tiao in the cold palace, I remembered how strange he was on the day I gave birth. Your toffee said he had been assassinated, and I interrogated the guards at that time.
“Sung Jun was stabbed by a man with a ghost face. When we rushed over, he fainted because he was bleeding too much. There was a child with him at the time.”
“Children?” I put down the teacup. What child? Where are you now?
“Sung Chun didn’t say.”
I also asked the people at Sung Tiao’s palace. Sung Tiao did bring back a child around the time I gave birth, but the child died a few days later: “Because it was a premature baby, it was congenitally deficient. The Imperial Physician said it was only eight months old.” At first,
I thought that Song Tiao had changed my baby, causing me to see a stillbirth, but I thought that the time was not right. I was pregnant for 10 months, and it was absolutely impossible to give birth to a premature baby who was only eight months old. Besides, I was on guard against this kind of thing. I didn’t sleep after giving birth. I took a look at it. My little princess really died at birth.
But the matter is still full of fog: Where did Song Tiao get the child? This is a harem. Why did the ghost of the emperor’s brother attack him? He said he had to be careful. What about Song Tiao?
I asked my trusted followers to continue to investigate, but I didn’t expect that one wave after another, the bad news came from Linzhi Palace, and the first Crown Princess threw herself into the lake! By the time
I got there, she had been salvaged and placed on the shore, dressed in her wedding red clothes, wet and dripping.
“This is really bad luck.” My mother covered her nose with a handkerchief.
Your toffee did not speak, I did not see sadness in her face, but saw some relief.
“Why did she suddenly take things too hard?” I asked the weeping maid of Linzhi Palace.
The maid glanced fearfully at the Empress Dowager, then bowed her head and said to me, “Since the emperor was happy, the first Crown Princess has always been angry..”
I discussed the funeral with my mother: “The first Crown Princess was not a member of the heavenly family and could not enter the imperial mausoleum, so she was buried at the foot of the North Mangshan Mountain with the ceremony of a princess.”
“That’s very good.” Her mother turned to the imperial concubine and said, “Madam Wang is your niece, so you should go to the palace on North Mangshan and recite the Buddha’s name to her, and then come back after the summer.” The imperial concubine nodded. “Thank you for your kindness.”
The first Crown Princess was buried with a lot of mysteries. I was already busy, and this special funeral was even worse. My mother helped me, and at the same time reminded me: The harem can’t be without an owner for a day, and the mourning family is old. I just want to worship the Buddha sincerely, and I don’t want to care about these trifles. Since you like Song Jun, it’s not a good idea to keep him in the cold all the time. If he were here today, the emperor and the Ai family would not be in such a situation.
“Anyway, when we’re done, let him stay inside for a few more days to reflect.” I scooped up the almond juice and didn’t care.
I found that Song Tiao paid his respects to his mother every day.
As the head of the harem, I can’t find anything wrong, but I expect my mother to be a strict person. Sometimes I don’t even see her. It seems incredible that Song Tiao, who is suspected of killing her baby Xie Lang, is so popular with her.
And with that weird kid, I suspect they’re behind my back.
After finishing the funeral of the first Crown Princess, it is a suburban sacrifice.
This is a major event of the year. I will lead the civil and military officials, clansmen and nobles to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the Emperor of Heaven, followed by the Spring Hunting Ceremony.
In order to prove that I am the same as a man, I will hunt wild animals myself and send them to the ancestral temple as sacrifices.
The imperial concubine was worshipping Buddha in the palace at the foot of the North Mangshan Mountain. She also came this time, but she sat far away. Before
I set out, a little eunuch waited for me to get on the horse and stuffed a bag of tricks into my sleeve. I looked at him strangely. He lowered his head and could not see his face clearly. Although
we did it secretly, the Mammy, who was good at medicine, noticed something strange and returned to the queen mother to whisper a few words. My mother looked at me with cold eyes. When
the auspicious time came, Qin Tianjian urged me to get on the horse. Under the pretext of chasing prey, I rode in the front, leaving all my cousins behind, and then opened the bag of tricks. There is only one sentence in the
bag of tricks, which seems to be written in a hurry: “Song Tiao is the prince, go to the foot of the mountain!”
My heart pounded, but I soon realized something was wrong.
I don’t understand.
First of all, my brother is clearly dead. I saw him jump down from the high platform and fall into a mess, and I witnessed his bones. I believe that the dead will return, but I don’t believe that he is the same as the living.
Secondly, Song Tiao and I used to face each other day and night, and we also expected to find the shadow of the emperor’s brother from Song Tiao. But Song Tiao’s appearance is quite different from that of my brother, with only a high nose bridge similar. I heard that Koryo has the art of transfiguration, which can change people beyond recognition, but not without leaving any scars.
Moreover, the ghost of the emperor’s brother once warned me to “be careful of Song Tiao.”. If Song Tiao is my brother, why should he defend himself? So what exactly does that mean? Who gave it to me? What is the intention? What’s at
the foot of the mountain?
I was puzzled by this trick when suddenly there were cold arrows around me, and the imperial guards around me fell off their horses one
by one. I reined in my horse and drew my sword, facing the man who was dedicated
in the grass. It was Song Tiao.
I raised an eyebrow. “Who the hell are you?”
“Don’t you know everything?” Song Tiao’s eyes moved from the bag of tricks in my hand to my face
. “I am the prince, and you are just a civet cat.”
At that time, your imperial concubine gave birth to a prince before the empress Dowager, but at that time the empress Dowager was already pregnant
. No matter how much the late emperor doted on the imperial concubine, he had to consider the possibility of the empress Dowager giving birth to a legitimate son,
so the head of the Eastern Palace was still up in the air.
「…… Until the queen mother gave birth to you.
“You are a girl, and the prince of your imperial concubine has just been made crown prince.” When
the wind blows and the grass is low, Song Tiao’s words are low and calm. In my mind, I finally
see a line:
the precious jade pendant owned by the poor and humble Song Tiao;
as soon as Song Tiao saw the noble imperial concubine, he was poisoned that night, and I mistakenly thought it was the mother who did it;
Her mother’s cautious silence when confronting me;
her mother’s change of attitude towards Song Tiao.
At that time, your imperial concubine switched the newborn Song Tiao with me in order for her brother to enter the East Palace!
“The child of the late Crown Princess is yours.” I immediately figured it out. “After you and your mother recognize each other, you also want to take advantage of my pregnancy to play another game of stealing beams and changing pillars.”
I have proclaimed myself emperor for three years. Even if the queen mother and Song Wang knew the truth at that time, they could not declare that I, the emperor, was a fake. It was hard to convince the public.
So they settled for the next best thing: Song could not be the emperor, but he could be the overlord.
If their stratagem succeeds, and my child is successfully switched to his, then they will kill me again, and Song will not only be able to face the court, but also guarantee the royal blood.
“Your calculations are clear.” I couldn’t help clapping my hands at him. “It’s just a pity that my baby was stillborn, and even if you coaxed the first Crown Princess to take the baby by caesarean section, she won’t live long.”
“It’s really a lot of trouble. You have to put her body on ice to make it look like she threw herself into the river.” Sung Tiao is indeed the biological son of his mother, and their courage and ruthlessness are beyond the reach of ordinary people. But this is not without room for manoeuvre. After all, the noble little princess was buried in the ice cellar by you, and no one knew that you had given birth to a stillborn child. If you die now, I will be able to bring a child to the court immediately, so you are in danger now, not me.
Song Tiao opened his bow to me and said, “So I hope you can cooperate with me.”. My mother wants to kill you, but I think it would be nice to have a cat!
He touched his fingertips on his bow arm, his movements inexplicably frivolous, and his slender phoenix eyes lifted: “The throne can be given to you, but you have to come with me. How about that?”
I rode on horseback, looked around, here is the depths of the hunting ground, the imperial guards were already ambushed here Xie Qinbing shot, I alone.
I told Song Tiao about the past: When I was 16 years old, I followed the late emperor to take part in the field hunting in the suburbs. My brother and his bodyguards disappeared in the hunting ground for a whole day. When they came back, they didn’t find anything, but they were covered with blood. When the late emperor asked him where he was going, he smiled without saying a word, and never told me what he had experienced in the hunting ground.
Song Wang frowned, wondering why I was discussing the story of the first prince with him at this time.
Song Tiao, when you first entered the palace, I ordered you to thoroughly investigate the Ghost Face Man. He stabbed you with a sword on the day I gave birth. Have you found out who he was? Didn’t the late Crown Princess tell you when she was enjoying herself under you? I mentioned him in a gentle voice.
I took a step back, and a red light appeared in the depths of the grass. In the
harsh red light, dozens of young knights dressed in luxurious clothes appeared in front of me. They breathed and heard each other, the horses breathed and breathed, and the leader was dressed in black and wore a golden crown, and there was no noble horse.
“Hello, brother.” My seventeen-year-old prince brother played with a ghost mask and said hello to his half-brother. The appearance of the
prince’s brother surprised Song Tiao, who rushed forward while distracted on the opposite side and killed two groups of people.
Song Tiao brought with him all the good hands of the Hsieh family, and the prince’s brother brought with him a boy who was 17 or 18 years old in the Imperial College. The two sides were in a state of chaos, and he shouted at me, “Go back to the East Palace!” For the first time,
I was conscious enough to meet him back from the dead. I didn’t dare to blink or walk. According to reason, he is already dead, but what if he is beheaded by Song Tiao here? Do you die more thoroughly?
I saw a familiar young man was cut a knife, the emperor brother called him back, he rushed into the red light disappeared, and Song Tiao people want to follow up but can not!
“Go!” The prince’s brother shouted at me as he fought hand to hand with Song Tiao.
I was sure he had a place to retreat, so I pulled the horse back with a full heart. But I saw from a distance that the camp had been controlled by my mother’s people, so I gave up the plan of calling people to capture Song Tiao and rode back to the palace directly.
Since the death of the prince’s brother, the East Palace has been deserted. At this time, the people around the imperial concubine were walking up and down outside the door. When they saw me, they hurried up to meet me and said, “The prince said that he left you the way to solve the situation. Only you know.”
I untied my cloak, let him guard the door, and went straight into the study and the secret room. There was nothing else in the secret room except a small portrait of me, and under it was my dressing gown, which I had given him when he got married. I put a piece of paper in my toilet. I opened the second drawer, and there was a piece of parchment in it.
At the top was the handwriting of my prince’s brother, Ching-chun:
“The empress and Sung have been together for a long time. My mother and concubine are alone, and it is difficult for them to support themselves. I can’t stay here for a long time either.” “They will soon come back from the hunting ground to abdicate.”
I can already hear the hoofbeats outside.
“The only thing that can change the situation is for it not to happen.”
At the bottom is a symbol array, which looks familiar to me. It should be a page recorded
in Sui Shi Fang Lu. What I got is the half burned by the first Crown Princess. Now the original law array is
presented in front of me. It just indicates that you need to add the time
that the caster wants to go.
I bit my fingers, drew gourds on the ground with the blood of my fingertips, and finally filled in the eighth day of the third month three years ago
, which was the day when my brother committed suicide. A big fire broke out outside the
palace. On the window of the palace, the imperial guards ran past and were killed by the
imperial guards who rushed in. I heard the screams of the noble toffee before she died.
At the critical moment when Song Tiao pushed the door and entered, the red light of the law array engulfed me
. In his startled eyes,
I felt as if I no longer existed. After
a burst of splendor, I heard the sound of the clock in my ear. The fire, the imperial guards, and the blood
all disappeared. I ran to the window and saw the prince’s brother leading Wang up the steps.
Wang was shy and happy, while he looked dull.
The whole East Palace was red, together with their dazzling red auspicious clothes.
I looked back at the red array on the ground, and then looked at the complete
“Sui Shi Fang Lu” on the bookshelf of the East Palace, and finally understood how my long-dead brother could appear in the harem again and again, and give birth to a daughter with me. What is recorded
in Sui Shi Fang Lu is not the art of summoning the dead, but the art of
traveling through time!
My brother came here three years later!
My scalp is tingling. No wonder I always feel that the person I share a bed with is still young.
The scrolls say that I can’t stay in this time and space for too long. There are only two hours
at most. If I want to change the future, I have to change the past.
I went back to the secret room of the study, and the second drawer of the dressing box was opened, and the note
inside was gone.
My face turned white.
At that time, my mother was the first to know the feelings between me and my brother, but she did not beat me, nor did
she scold me. Instead, she gave me some new palace clothes and dressed me up.
She also feasted the guests uncharacteristically, matching the noble toffee sisters. I am the only one who knows that
in the shadows of those half-drunk lights, my brother and I whispered in whispers, hoping
that these long nights will never pass.
But this matter was eventually known by your toffee. Your imperial concubine flew into a rage, and then
quietly told his father that his brother had been weak this year and wanted to accept Wang as the crown
princess into the palace.
The father gave permission, and the request of the imperial concubine was reasonable. Before the big wedding, I cried my heart out. My mother just looked at me coldly and said, “So what’s the
use of having a daughter?”. I expected you to seduce him and kill him, but I didn’t know you were just a fool! What does a
man have to like?! If you still love him, he will still have a beautiful wife
and concubine today, and tomorrow he will have three thousand harems.
“And your father wants to marry you beyond the Great Wall.”
She grabbed my face and showed me how proud Wang was: Love is
the least valuable thing. You won’t have anything.
I looked at their uniform clothes and suddenly understood.
My mother was right all along.
I stuffed a farewell letter in my dressing gown, sent it to the East Palace, and then changed into a
white dress.
I told my brother, the prince, that he was in the bridal chamber today, and I was going to throw my body on the wall of the East
Palace. I wish him to have thousands of children and grandchildren in the world in the future, and I am doomed not to see this imperial
sister.
He read the letter and left his new wife to look for me.
When he saw a white dress falling at the gate, he jumped like crazy. I threw down
the white dress.
I didn’t know how much my brother loved me until then. But it’s too late.
…… Because I’m going to be the emperor.
The auspicious night drum interrupted my memory, and I saw a ghostly flash of white clothes, picked
up the dragon robe and ran out. The sky is wide and the moon is clear. In the brilliant candlelight, my prince brother
stands on the high platform. His back overlaps with my memory. Zhilan Yushu seems to be
waiting for someone. In spite of myself hiding in the shadows,
I cried and jumped on him and hugged his waist.
“Brother.”
This time, I don’t want the throne.
[Epilogue]
I saved my brother three years ago. I didn’t stay too long. I soon returned to the study
of the East Palace and returned to the present through the law array.
The night was as cool as water, and the moonlight cast a shadow in the study. The spring night was so deep that there was no
fire, swords, guns, blood and forced palace. I only went back for two hours, and the result was quite different
.
Sure enough, if the emperor’s brother ascended the throne, there would be no forced abdication by his mother and Song Tiao.
When Mammy saw that the study light was still on, she came in doubtfully. When she saw me, she knelt
down with a splash and said, “See Your Majesty.”
Your Majesty? I am still Your Majesty?
I looked at the bright yellow swaddling clothes in her arms. “This is..”
“Your Majesty, your daughter has gone to bed after nursing.” Carefully, she handed the baby
to me.
Carved jade pecks, pure ruddy, arms like lotus roots.
I hugged her in surprise: “She …” Is she my child?
Mammy gave me a strange look. “Of course.”
I’m not.. Had a stillbirth?
Mammy boldly touched my forehead. “Is the emperor on fire?”? When the Empress Dowager was born
, the umbilical cord was indeed wrapped around her neck. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager specially sent the old slave from Mount Wutai, so that Your Majesty did not
make any mistakes. In her words, she was quite proud of her medical skills, and she was
the master of medicine beside her mother.
I held the baby in my arms and nodded. If my baby were alive, he would be so old.
But who did I give birth to this child with?
Mammy saw me holding the baby in my arms and said, “Your Majesty is staying in the East Palace today.”? Won’t you go back to the queen
?
“Queen?” I even made a queen?! Seeing her expression getting more and more strange, I repeatedly answered, “Oh, oh..” Of course
I want to go back to him. You take good care of your wife.
Mammy hesitated to speak, her eyes were complicated, but in the end she said nothing.
Out of the East Palace, I ordered the imperial chariot to go to the Fengzao Palace. Fengzao Palace is the residence of the empress. I
didn’t set up a queen before. It was abandoned like the East Palace. At this time, it was also brightly lit like the East Palace
.
“Your Highness has been waiting for Your Majesty for a long time!”
I jumped out of the car, lifted the dragon robe and hurried into the door. Someone, dressed in black, was reading in the courtyard with the
lamp on. He turned around when he
heard my footsteps.
Jin Zun and Yu Gui, Long Zhang and Feng Zi.
“Brother!” I ran over and kissed his forehead, his eyes, his lips, and
I saw him for the first time as an adult.
“Brother..” I put my face in the palm of his hand and shed tears.
He probably guessed what I had gone through, and he stepped back and told me that after I left that day,
he still jumped off the building.
“But this time I faked my own death for someone else to see.” There was a sly
smile on his lips.
After that, the development of things was the same as the previous time: the prince passed away, and I succeeded to the throne, but the emperor’s brother has been hidden in my golden house. Two years later, the incident was exposed, and I made him queen. The imperial concubine and her mother were speechless and could not bear to see them. One went to Mount Wutai, the other to Mount Zhongnan, and they all recited the Buddha. Song Tiao was still the Number One Scholar, and I married the first Crown Princess to him, which was a complete marriage for them.
“There’s just one thing I don’t understand.” I took out the volume of Sui Shi Fang Lu. The first Crown Princess kept this volume and summoned my brother from the past. When I was young, I also remembered that my brother often disappeared, which showed that my brother had gone to the future a long time ago. In fact, my brother has always known that I will step on your bones and blood to ascend the throne in the future. When I received that unfeeling letter on the wedding day, I should have understood that I lied to you. If that’s the case, why did the elder brother jump with him the first time?
“Wan Wan didn’t lie to me. She was just waiting for a confession.” “And I’m also waiting for a confession,” said the prince’s brother, rubbing his hand against my nose.
Waiting for a confession from the future.
