Chapter 884 Wang Zhi who wants to be famous behind him (33)
(33)

"The imperial concubine has already started arranging the palace banquet, and I will wait for you to return to the palace."

Zhu Jianshen covered the astringency in his eyes, and said gently.

At the palace banquet, Zhu Jianshen and Concubine Wan Gui appeared together. After careful dressing, Concubine Wan Gui was still graceful and luxurious.

But how could the weakness in his foundation be hidden from Shengge.

She knew that Concubine Wan Gui's time was approaching, at most two years away.

After drinking for three rounds, the guests had a good time, Sheng Ge dissipated the smell of alcohol, and took Wang Qu to Zhaode Palace to meet Concubine Wan Gui.

"Your Majesty, this is Wang Qu, who was rescued the year I left Beijing."

While helping Concubine Wan Gui remove the beaded hairpins, Sheng Ge introduced Wang Qu to Concubine Wan Gui.

"Ma'am, he called me brother."

Under Shengge's gesture, Wang Qu paid respects to Concubine Wan Gui seriously.

In Wang Qu's heart, Concubine Wan Gui is also a recognized family member.

"Get up, let Bengong take a look."

Concubine Wan Gui bent down to help Wang Qu up, her eyebrows and eyes were soft, and her voice was kind.

"A good boy."

Concubine Wan Gui rubbed Wang Qu's little head.

Really, very good.

Wang Zhi is a descendant of the Yao people in the Dateng Gorge rebellion, and he has been alone since entering the palace.

Now that someone is with her, she can rest assured.

"Wang Zhi, what are your plans when you return to Beijing now?"

"Your Majesty, I don't plan to leave Beijing in the near future. It's been a bit hard for me to be away for the past few years. I want to enjoy happiness by my Majesty's side. I don't know if your Majesty will take me in?"

Concubine Wan Gui has raised her, so she has to stay here to fulfill her filial piety.

Besides, she really couldn't bear Concubine Wan Gui to worry about her.

The white hair on her head softened her heart.

"speak politely."

"You are all legitimate officials, and it's shameful to stay by Bengong's side."

It was hard for Wang Zhi to come to this step, and she couldn't hold back.

"But, I want to stay by my mother's side."

"There's also Wang Qu, he can't be cleansed, or the empress can just point him out to any prince as a companion."

"In this way, he can stay with me in the palace to accompany the empress."

Regardless of Concubine Wan Gui's refusal, Sheng Ge begged again.

She knew that Concubine Wan Gui had a soft heart and had never been able to do anything to her. She was a typical example of being spoiled and arrogant.

"Companion reading?"

"Forget it, I'm the one who decides to adopt him as a foster son, you two just stay with me, an old woman, and do some work to serve others."

It is not appropriate to point out the people around Wang Zhi to any prince.

Today's Wang Zhi holds real power and is well-known, if he gets close to any prince, his heart will be easily disturbed.

Your Majesty has established a crown prince, so there is no need to encourage other people's ambitions that they shouldn't have.

As for the prince, it's even more inappropriate.

"Thank you, ma'am?"

Shengge reached out and poked Wang Qu, he was so angry.

Back then, she had worked so hard to get into the Zhaode Palace, but now Xiao Wang Qu has transformed into Concubine Wan Gui's adoptive son, her legitimate little master.

Sheng Ge said that she was a little jealous.

Not long after, the Holy Majesty rewarded Shengge for his meritorious deeds, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded Shengge with the title of Marquis. It's not that no one objected, but the objection was invalid.

After all, in terms of merit, let alone a Marquis, Sheng Ge can afford even the title of Duke.

So, Shengge accepted the seal with peace of mind, and then lived in Zhaode Palace with peace of mind, serving Concubine Wan Gui's food and daily life as she did many years ago, witnessing Concubine Wan Gui and Zhu Jianshen's close relationship for decades.

Time flies, and those who want to leave will eventually leave.

"Since the imperial concubine is gone, I will also go."

Before the sick bed, Zhu Jianshen tightly held Concubine Wan Gui's hand, as if he could forcefully keep her in this way.

"Your Majesty, don't be self-willed."

"The concubine can't let you go, and I can't let go of Wang Zhi. You also know that the concubine has treated Wang Zhi like a son these years."

"Wang Zhi seems to be prominent now, but in fact he is like cooking oil in a raging fire. If he is not careful, he will be doomed."

"Leaving Wang Zhi to other people, the concubine is worried. So, can you take care of him for a few more years for the concubine?"

"Your Majesty, my concubine will wait for you for as long as you want, so just take your time."

"Wang Zhi, the concubine will be handed over to you."

Concubine Wan Gui knew that her existence was a spiritual pillar for Zhu Jianshen.

When she died of illness, Zhu Jianshen would surely fall too.

She couldn't bear to see that Zhu Jianshen was still an upright man.

Entrusting Wang Zhi to him can not only protect Wang Zhi's safety, but also allow him to have something to do so that he will not go away with her.

"The concubine has no regrets or complaints in this life."

After the words fell, Concubine Wan Gui closed her eyes forever.

Zhaode Palace is covered with plain onyx, Zhu Jianshen still holds Concubine Wan Gui's already cold hand and refuses to let go.

Shengge watched this scene silently, with thousands of emotions surging in his heart.

A drink and a peck are all cause and effect.

Concubine Wan Gui penetrated Zhu Jianshen's long voice, standing in his heart with an indestructible posture.

It is a spiritual pillar, an attachment since childhood, a habit accumulated over time, and a feeling carved into the bone marrow.

In many cases, whether it is love or not is not important at all.

Zhu Jianshen has withstood all the pressure and impeachment for more than 20 years, and gave Wan Zhen'er supreme power and favor.

Now, as soon as Wan Zhen'er left, Zhu Jianshen's vigor and spirit dimmed visibly to the naked eye.

"Your Majesty, let me change your clothes for your empress."

Shengge held back the tears in his eyes and said to Zhu Jianshen.

"and many more."

"Wang Zhi, I want to make her a queen after all."

Before his death, he was incompetent and unable to give her the position of queen.

After death, he wanted to be buried in the same cave as her.

Only the queen can live and die with him.

For so many years, he has long been inseparable from her.

"it is good."

Shengge replied softly.

Today's Concubine Wan Gui's reputation is very different from that in the plot, if the emperor insists on chasing her as empress, it is not impossible.

Zhu Jianshen gently put Wan Zhen'er's hand back on the brocade quilt, then got up and strode out.

It's useless for anyone to object, anyway, everyone knows that he has always been stubborn when it comes to Zhen'er.

To Zhu Jianshen's surprise, his proposal did not arouse much opposition.

Who told Concubine Wan Gui to manage the harem conscientiously and educate the emperor's heirs all these years, making the harem stable and harmonious.

And because of Wang Zhi's unparalleled achievements, Concubine Wan Gui has a very good reputation among the people, and it is reasonable to pursue Concubine Huang Gui as empress.

Regardless of etiquette and taboos, Zhu Jianshen personally changed Wan Zhen'er into the queen's court dress, and then ordered the painter to paint a portrait.

Wan Zhen'er on the portrait is already bright and vivid.

Wan Zhen'er was buried in the Emperor's Mausoleum, and Zhu Jianshen stopped for half a month.

When seeing Zhu Jianshen goodbye, the bird's nest had collapsed and his beard was unshaven, but he had already patted Shengge's shoulder lovingly.

It seemed that from this moment on, he would take on the responsibility of a father entrusted to him by Concubine Wan Gui.

He knows what Zhen'er intends.

"Wang Zhi, do whatever you want."

"Just, a little faster."

 There is no doubt that Zhu Jianshen's affection for Concubine Wan Gui is a preference recognized by history.

  "Wan Shichang is gone, and I will go too." (Volume [-] of "Wanli Ye Huo Bian")
  In September of the same year when Concubine Wan Gui died, Zhu Jianshen also passed away.

  So I'm not totally bullshitting...
