Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 21 King Jin’s Dream

Chapter 21 King Jin’s Dream

Wu Rou keenly received her changes, her hair stood up and said:

"...Arou loves the Queen more than Your Majesty."

When Xu Hui heard this, she relaxed and smiled sincerely, laughing at her and saying:
"I admire the Queen...Have you ever seen her? You admire her. Little girl, do you know what admiration is?"

At that moment, King Jin appeared in Wu Rou's mind.

She had never met the queen, but she heard that His Highness King Jin was most like her, so in her heart, Queen Changsun was a hundred times more lovely and respectable than King Jin.

Especially today I heard the words in "The Rules for Women", which are really admirable.

"I have never seen her... but I long for her. What kind of person is your empress, Queen Wende?" Wu Rou asked coquettishly.

Xu Hui put down her fan, looked at the sky through the gap in the shade of the trees, and said in an ethereal voice:

"She... is a person who makes people jealous, but cannot hate her no matter what."

……

……

Wude Hall.

Night had fallen. In the emperor's chamber, several palace maids filed in. With gentle steps, they quietly lit up the lamps everywhere. The somewhat dim interior suddenly became brightly lit, with various gold and copper objects. Wares and porcelain objects all reflect light, making the interior more prosperous and dazzling.

The emperor sat cross-legged on the low couch, pushed aside the memorial in his hand, and stretched out one stiff leg to move.

Then he saw Jin Wang Li Shan doing his homework next to him.

This is the youngest son between him and the queen, and he is the most like her.

Everyone said that he took the children by his side to raise them because he loved them. In fact, he just wanted to see them all the time to give him some comfort in his empty heart.

"Xiao Jiu, haven't you finished yet? Write quickly and go to bed as soon as you finish writing." The emperor urged him with a smile.

When Li Shan, who was sitting in front of the desk and writing furiously, heard this, the pen in his hand immediately shook faster, and he responded:

"It's almost finished, Father."

Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, he put down the pen, blew on the wet ink, raised his hand and pulled out three arm-long pages, sorted them out, and delivered them to the emperor.

After the emperor took it in his hand and unfolded it, he turned sideways and looked at the light, glanced from beginning to end, then looked at the end, nodded and said:

"This time Bingzhou's tax calculation is good. It's much more organized than last time. At least it can't be deceived by retainers."

As he spoke, he lifted the piece of paper, put it aside, and then took a rough look at the second and third pages.

The second page is today’s editorial title, and the third page is today’s reading experience.

I haven't even finished half of the editorial, but I'm quite satisfied with the reading experience.

The emperor frowned, glanced at his youngest son, and said:

"Xiaojiu, do you know what Aye does when he comes up with editorial topics for you?"

Jin Wang Li Shan replied respectfully:
"It is for the purpose of admonishing the prince's brother and assisting him in governing the government in the future."

"Well, aren't you very clear about this? Then your editorial is so clumsy that it seems to say, oh, I said it, do you want to hear it or not? How can it be considered advice?"

The emperor retracted his legs again, stretched out his hand to pull Prince Jin to sit beside him, shook his arm and said:
"You have to have a desire to win when writing advice. Didn't Aye read Wei Zheng's advice book to you? That good guy wants to spit on my face. You are not active yourself, how can you convince the people who read it?"

The emperor was very anxious and wished he could change his personality directly.

But Jin King Li Shan lowered his eyes and occasionally raised his eyes to look at his father. His eyes were still calm and full of grievances, as if he was helpless.

It seemed like he, an adult, was making trouble unreasonably.

The emperor was speechless, raised his eagle eyebrows sharply, and became more majestic, but his tone was helpless, and he said:

"Forget it, if you don't have the desire to win, then you don't have it. From now on, it's good to guard your own fiefdom, keep one party safe, and live in peace and contentment for the rest of your life."

Prince Jin didn't have a big reaction, but one could feel that he was relieved.

At this time, the nanny who was taking care of Princess Jinyang came over, stood far away by the door of the cubicle corridor, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, the princess suddenly woke up again. She couldn't sleep and said she wanted to talk to His Highness Prince Jin."

The emperor waved his hand helplessly and said:

"Go."

King Jin stood up politely, bowed to the emperor and left, then followed the nanny.

After passing through the corridor, three or four inner rooms, and arriving at Princess Jin's bedroom, he saw his sister lying on the bed, waiting for him with her big eyes open.

He naturally walked to the bed and sat down, his demeanor was dignified and quiet, and he didn't look like a child at all.

He has the stature of a young man, but has the same sense of responsibility as an adult, which makes him always have a strong and stable aura in the eyes of others.

Princess Jinyang is no exception.

She reached out and took her brother's hand and said:
"Brother Ninth, I dreamed about my mother. Like before, she held my hand, sat by the bed and told me stories."

In the light, King Jin's eyebrows looked sad for a moment, his pupils seemed to be shining, but he asked with a gentle smile:
"Do you remember?"

"...It seems just like the real thing." Princess Jinyang said softly, her expression seemed to be very magical.

King Jin became even more sad. Tears finally fell from his eyes, but without making any sound, he asked, "Do you want me to tell Xizi a story?"

Princess Jinyang shook her head and said:

"Brother kissed my forehead and I fell asleep."

When King Jin heard about it, he imitated what his mother had done before, and leaned down and kissed the young child's forehead gently, then took her hand and stopped talking.

The bedroom was very quiet. The wet nurse and the maid keeping watch were standing in the room, waiting for Princess Jinyang to fall asleep.

It wasn't until the sound of the child's shallow breathing came from the room that he carefully pulled his hand back and waited quietly for a while before getting up and leaving.

……

That night, the sleeping King Jin's eyelashes were shaking gently, and his thick black hair was spread on the pillow. He had a quiet and beautiful feeling, which made people feel more and more distressed.

An illusory light spot flickered around his face, as if caressing him.

Suddenly light point 2 appeared and said:
"Why are you here? We have already watched the last Gaozong line. Because it was too sad, didn't we agree that this time we will only watch the line involving Sister Wu?"

light spot 1 said:
"Oh, I really feel sorry for him, so I couldn't help but take a look. He seems to be having a nightmare. Should we go and take a look?"

"Having a nightmare?" Light Point 2 was also curious. They had never seen Gaozong's dream in the previous episode.

So he said:

"Okay, but dreams are usually chaotic, so you shouldn't be able to tell anything."

As soon as the scene changed, they had entered a chaotic darkness.

In the darkness, it seemed to be the Lizheng Palace where Empress Changsun lived during her lifetime, but there was no light, and there was a smell of decoction everywhere.

A woman was sitting in front of the dressing table, her disheveled hair tied softly behind her head, and she was wearing white pajamas. The white was so dazzling in the dark, as if it was glowing coldly.

During the last period of her life, Empress Changsun was unable to get out of bed due to illness, so she almost always dressed like this.

I just don’t know why it feels so cold and eerie when the person I’m dreaming about is obviously my mother.

Just as the two light spots were astonished by the picture, I heard the hopeful cry of a child behind me:
"Aniang...mother?"

The light spot changed the angle of view, only to find Jin Wang Li Shan standing next to the screen. He was less than half the height of the screen. He had big eyes and was as young as Princess Jinyang.

Light Spot 1 was surprised and asked:
"What's going on? He was already eight years old when Queen Changsun fell ill, so why is he so young? Did we make a mistake? Was it an earlier time when the Queen was sick?"

light spot 2 said:
"No, this scene seems familiar. It obviously happened later. It may have been distorted by the dream."

As soon as Guangdian 2 finished speaking, the queen turned her head when she heard the cry.

The cheeks reddened by makeup, the dark eyebrows painted, and the pale face with scarlet lips looked like an evil ghost in the darkness.

"Fuck! I remembered, this is not the queen!" Spot 1 suddenly screamed.

The whole dream shook, like an earthquake, and the scene shook.

The young child standing there tilted his head slightly, his pupils dull as if he had lost his soul due to excessive shock.

He couldn't understand the scene before him and couldn't accept why his mother became like this.

The ghost-like woman looked at King Jin with a springy look on her face, her face became as red as a monkey's butt, and she said shyly:

"His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, also thinks that this slave is like the Queen, right? Can I be your mother from now on?"

Prince Jin was still there, silent, as if he was in a nightmare.

The image of the woman became clearer and weirder, the darkness around her became thicker and thicker, and the air became a bit colder, like hell.

Light Spot 2 also cursed:
"Fuck, I remembered it too. This is what really happened. Not long after the Queen's death, he was still crying all day long. A palace maid dressed in the Queen's clothes was here to seduce the Emperor. She was He met.

I knew this incident had a big impact on him, but I didn't expect it to be so big.How long is this scene going to last? I’m so scared. "

Suddenly, a majestic shout sounded:

"Drag out! Stick to death!"

This voice was too familiar. It was the voice of Emperor Li Shimin, but there was no trace of him in the picture.

Only in the darkness, the exaggeratedly painted palace maid knelt on the ground with a twisted expression, struggling and saying:

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that I look a bit like the Queen?! Look at me, you can't kill me! You can't kill me!

Ahhhh! ...I haven’t become a queen yet, I haven’t become the most noble woman in the world!You can't touch me before I gain His Majesty's favor! ...Your Majesty, this slave is wrong!The slave is wrong!For the sake of the Queen, please spare me! "

The makeup on the woman's face, in a flattering and crazy mood, was magnified to the extreme in the dark background, giving it an unreal and absurd feeling that was disgusting.

The picture finally faded and disappeared.

The two light spots returned to their positions outside the dreamland.

Jin Wang Li Shan woke up. He slowly opened his eyes. His dark pupils were not bright. After being silent for a while, he finally turned over like a child, curled up, and softly uttered three words:

"...that's disgusting."

The voice did not rise and fall, but it could not conceal the deepest disgust.
