Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 27 Does Your Majesty know?
Not only the observers, but also Wu Rou was shocked by the beginning of Concubine Wei.

Concubine Wei was actually a widow, something she had never heard mentioned before.

"At that time, I was very melancholy every day. Because my father passed away when I was an infant, and it was my uncle who succeeded the Duke of Yun in the Sui Dynasty.

I was raised by my uncle and aunt since I was a child. Although they treated me very well, they were still separated by a layer, and I always felt that I was dependent on others.

Later, they finally got married and felt like they had their own family. However, within a few years, the husband died again, leaving behind an infant daughter.

I couldn't help but wonder if I was a lone evil star, always trying to kill my loved ones and having bad luck in my life. "

When Wu Rou heard this, she looked at her graceful demeanor and said to herself: Looking at it now, who can say that Concubine Wei is not blessed?

Concubine Wei took another sip of wine, and her eyes seemed to reflect the sea of ​​flowers in the garden, returning to the days when she was young.

She was only seventeen at that time. Although her life had just begun, she already felt that her life was dull.

It was at this time that she met Queen Changsun.

"The queen at that time was still Princess Qin, and she was 20 years old. She was dressed in a blue robe with wide sleeves, elegant and elegant, and wore a shawl. She seemed to have the appearance of Guanyin, and she appeared at my uncle's house.

It was also autumn at that time, and I was taking care of the children indoors, with the door and windows wide open..."

Wei Gui, who was 17 years old at the time, was sitting on his knees in front of the window, looking at the sleeping child. His eyes were dull and lifeless, and he heard a soft noise of orioles outside.

She turned around and saw several of her cousins ​​entering the backyard toward a strange woman.

The woman was dressed very simply. At first glance, she looked like a Taoist nun, especially because she had a small hairpin on her head and covered her hair with a blue shawl.

But looking at her back, she looks very dignified and elegant, and her cousins ​​treat her respectfully, so she doesn't feel like an ordinary Taoist nun.

While they were trying to figure out who she was, the group of people turned around the corridor and their eyes happened to fall on her, so she saw the woman's face.

The woman also saw her, and seemed to feel sorry for accidentally spying on the people in the house, so she nodded slightly at her, lowered her eyes and smiled.

If Guanyin had an appearance in the human world, it would be like that.Wei Gui couldn't help but think to himself.

"That's my cousin Wei Gui. She is a widow at home with a young child. She cries and cries every day and can't live without people." The cousin introduced her.

The woman lowered her eyes and politely never looked inside the house again. She just smiled demurely and followed them inside.

I don't know how long it took, but the cousins ​​sent her out and passed her house again. Wei Gui couldn't help but look up at her again.

The woman smiled at her. On her face that looked similar to Guanyin, the smile seemed to contain compassion for all living beings.

Wei Gui was attracted to her, his heart was beating fast, he raised his hand to cover half of his face, his lifeless eyes suddenly became bright, and he looked at her in surprise and hope.

It was difficult for her to express her absurd thoughts at that time, but she really felt that Queen Changsun was Guanyin transformed into a female body, walking in the world, and had the destiny to relieve her misery.

As if Guanyin knew what she was thinking, she politely dismissed the company of her cousins, came to her door alone, and said softly:
"I am the eldest grandson of Princess Qin, Mingwu. I am twenty this year. How much older are you? Can I have a few words with Sister Wei?"

When Wei Gui heard this, his eyes swayed. He didn't know whether it was disappointment or surprise. He quickly stood up to greet him and saluted:
"I've met Princess Qin. I'm Wei Gui. I'm 17 years old this year...I don't know if I'm an honored guest. I'm sorry for neglecting you. Please come in."

The Queen, who was Princess Qin's eldest grandson, entered the room and took a general look around. She saw the child sleeping on a square couch on the ground, surrounded by a circle of books.

Wei Gui was a little embarrassed, so he quickly packed away the books and piled them to the other side to make room for Princess Qin, and said apologetically:
"The children cry a lot...and there is no time to clean up."

She had a tired look on her face, she was originally a pool of stagnant water, but she only managed to cheer up because of the arrival of this woman.

"Why not leave it to the nanny?" Princess Qin asked, her voice gentle and caring.

Wei Gui did not speak this time, but looked sideways at the sleeping child with a sad expression.

It's not that she doesn't want to answer, but she doesn't know where to start. At this time, she is doubting life and hating herself.

The child... seems to be a burden and a hindrance to her. It would be easier to live her life like this.

Princess Qin did not blame her for being rude, she just looked at her tenderly, as if she understood her sadness instantly, and was considerate enough not to ask more questions or poke her pain, but said directly:

"The Wei family is going to join forces with the Prince of Qin's Mansion. I am here to select someone for the marriage. If Sister Wei has no other choice, how about joining me in the Prince of Qin's Mansion?"

As soon as she said this, Wei Gui was shocked. He turned to look at the Guanyin-like person in front of him and couldn't think of where to start.

Seeing that she still didn't speak, Princess Qin continued:

"I know that Sister Wei is quite talented and well-known, and she is the direct descendant of the last Duke of Yun. She has a distinguished status, so being a concubine feels a little unfair to you. But since it is a marriage, I tell you the truth. My husband is now granted the title of Heavenly Emperor by Your Majesty. His Majesty came up with the title General Ce and General Tiance because he is already unrivaled and his achievements are unmatched.

He threatened the status of the prince. The prince regarded him as a thorn in his flesh. One day, he would be judged. By then, even if he is a concubine, he would be noble and noble that no one can match. Do you understand what I mean? "

Wei Gui blushed when he heard this, lowered his head and said slowly:
"Princess Qin shames me. I am a widow. Others say that I am determined to deny my family. How can I despise others, let alone Prince Qin. I am curious, why me? My cousins ​​are young and good-looking. beautiful……"

Princess Qin interrupted her and asked gently:

"Do you think Sister Wei really has no other role for women in the back house besides carrying on the family line?"

Wei Gui looked at her blankly and said nothing.

Princess Qin then said:

"Being someone else's concubine may only be used to carry on the family line, but being the concubine of King Qin can have a greater effect. In the future, the marriage between the Wei family and the Prince of Qin's palace will require you to roam around the back house as a relative of the Wei family. Winning people's hearts for the King of Qin and spying on their voices.

The Wei family has extensive connections in Luoyang City, and its prestige in both civil and military circles is unmatched by me. And there are times when it is inconvenient for the King of Qin to come forward, so he needs you.

As for why it is you...you have a noble status and a talented reputation. As a lobbyist, you are naturally more convincing than a younger one, and there is..."

Princess Qin gently took Wei Gui's hand and said with a smile:
"Just think that we have hit it off. He asked me to choose a suitable candidate for him, and it's up to me to make the decision, so I will naturally choose the one I like."

Her smile still had a gentleness that could heal pain, and her eyes showed compassion that could see through everything.

Wei Gui felt at that time that she was really the Bodhisattva sent by God to save her, but she had just secretly transformed into a human body.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that someone needs her and someone doesn't despise her fate at all?
"You... aren't you... sad for your husband to take a concubine?" Wei Gui felt that everything was unreal, so he asked.

When Princess Qin heard this, her eyes flashed for a moment, as if the calm lake suddenly stirred up waves, but soon the waves calmed down. She smiled calmly and said:
"When have you ever seen men sad about love? They are busy fighting for the world and power, and women are just a footnote in the fight.

In this case, women can also learn from them.He focused on helping them fight for power in the world, putting all their love and love aside.How could this be sad? "

Wei Gui looked at her, his eyebrows drooped, and said:

"How can it be so simple? A woman's honor and wealth all come from her husband's favor. If he doesn't value you but values ​​others, then you will have nothing. Are you really not afraid at all?"

Princess Qin let go of her hand and placed it in front of her. She spoke dignifiedly and elegantly, gently but firmly:

"It doesn't matter if that day comes, at least until that day comes, I live with peace of mind and have never been worried or anxious about it.

In other words, are you worried that if you feel sad, this kind of thing won't happen?

The human heart is the most unpredictable. It is the most natural thing to place your hope on a man's love for you...the love will wax and wane.In this case, why not let yourself go? "

……

It was obviously a very ordinary afternoon. The first time I saw Empress Changsun, I just looked up unintentionally and happened to see her.

But many years later, she became the noble Concubine Wei of the Tang Dynasty, and the queen also passed away, but she often thought of that scene at that time:
The 20-year-old Empress Changsun, wearing a shawl and a blue robe with wide sleeves, turned slightly sideways and looked over, giving her a gentle and compassionate smile.

Concubine Wei looked at the sea of ​​flowers with tears in her drunken eyes and recalled:

"...She saved me. At that time, I was thinking about how to die cleanly. She suddenly appeared and said those words. The tip of the horn that I was hiding suddenly broke and the light came out.

It was she who gave me a way to survive and a future..."

Wu Rou was fascinated, especially when she heard Queen Changsun's words, she was even more shocked.

What kind of clear and powerful mind is that?

In the past, she heard rumors and only knew that Empress Changsun was of noble character and had a deep love for His Majesty the Emperor and his wife. Now she heard the inside story told by Concubine Wei.

It simply overturned her affectionate impression of the queen...

Wu Rou took advantage of Concubine Wei's drunkenness and gently asked the question in her heart:
"Your Majesty...does he know what Queen Wende has in mind?"

Concubine Wei smiled softly, as if she was enjoying watching the excitement, and said:

"He knows... Our Majesty is so wise and powerful, how could he not even notice her thoughts. So when she was alive, he followed her thoughts, for fear that she would be disappointed and unhappy... When she left, he was even more It’s a great chase.”
