Alien love

In the imperial study room of Xuanguo Tianyi City, Emperor Ling Yan, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was concentrating on reviewing the memorial at his desk.The plague in Yancheng was well controlled before, and he somewhat understood the reason why the source of the disease was found and the antidote was developed.Is it Zhong Helan?How many years have they not met?

In the memorial presented today, there is praise for the eldest son of the emperor, Ling You. It is undeniable that Ling You was responsible for the plague in Yancheng. What surprised him this time was that Youer would take the initiative to invite Ying to go to the epidemic area to learn about the epidemic, and to support the people who were affected by the disaster. common people.It seems that I should also give You'er more opportunities for him to practice well.

Ling Yan put down the book of memorials in his hand, and picked up a new book of notes from the other end.After just taking a look, his brows could not help but wrinkle. Even the four memorials were requested to be sealed for Youer, which made him a little annoyed for a while. I don't know when he quietly concealed the affection he had just had for Youer. go.

"Hehe, I didn't expect You'er to have a good relationship in the court. Lin Bo from the Ministry of Rites and Huang Qisheng from the Ministry of Households both submitted petitions to praise the eldest son of the emperor." Ling Yan put down her vermilion imperial pen and smiled coldly.

With a squeak, the eunuch in purple eunuch's palace attire pushed open the vermilion door of the imperial study, and the person who came was Yanxi, the chief eunuch beside the emperor.I saw him walking forward with small steps and bowing quietly to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Mo is asking to see you outside the palace!"

"Let him in!" The voice was dull and majestic.

"Yes!" Eunuch Yanxi took the order to leave the hall.After a while, Mo Haoran, dressed in casual clothes, went into the imperial study to meet the emperor in good spirits.

The emperor waved his hand to avoid the politeness, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Returning to the emperor, I just got the news that Li Zixin, the emperor of Li Kingdom, is going to be engaged to the princess of Nanding Kingdom. The engagement ceremony is scheduled for three days later. The second son of Prince Nan died in the battle, and the heir to the throne has been announced. It is Princess Yusi." Mo Haoran Report the truth with a straight face.

The emperor stood up from the throne with slightly squinted eyes, stepped down from the imperial case, came to Haoran's side, put his big hand on Haoran's shoulder, making him tremble slightly.Then he smiled and said, "Li Zixin is taking Nanding Kingdom as his own in a disguised form! Haha, who said he is an idiot? He is an out-and-out politician with strategy. Send troops at the right time to relieve the siege. Propose a marriage at the right time, so that even Nanwang can't say no. The whole Nanding Kingdom is grateful for Li Zixin's righteous deed. The marriage will only make the people of Nanding Kingdom feel that their lives are guaranteed from now on, and they have the protection of Li Kingdom If the country is small and weak, it will not suffer from the war. And Li Zixin has also obtained the rich iron ore resources of Nanding Kingdom, which Xiyue is also coveting, and expanded the territory of Li Kingdom. You said that it is not he who has benefited the most from this. Who is it again?"

Listening to his master's analysis, Mo Haoran couldn't help nodding his head in agreement: "Your Majesty, Li Zixin seems to be quite scheming. I, Xuanguo, must take more precautions in the future."

"Well, now that we have formed an alliance with Li Guo, we must prepare a generous gift for the engagement ceremony. Ye'er..."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness has left Nanding Country and returned to Xuan Country, but he didn't go back to the palace, but brought Wei Feng, the girl from before, and a maid like that girl to settle in Crescent City." Hao But when he heard his master talk about His Highness the Third Highness, he hurriedly told his master what he had learned.

Ling Yan's expression turned ugly instantly. Ye'er didn't come back to the palace to see his father, not even a single letter. If he wanted to get any news about him, he had to ask Haoran to look it up, which really disappointed him. ah.

"Since you know where he is, go and find him. If he refuses to come back with you, you can ask him for me if he has even forgotten the anniversary of his concubine's death." Ling Yan ordered angrily. He and Piaoxue's son is the most beloved of all his children, but he just doesn't want to see him, and even refuses his own love and care for him.It's been so long, hasn't he let go?Are you still resenting him?Ling Yan couldn't help shouting silently in his heart.

"The subordinates know. The Emperor Li's generous gift will be arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before ordering someone to send it over." Mo Haoran looked at the emperor's tired and old Long Yan, feeling a little sad in his heart.I have followed my master for nearly ten years. During these ten years, my master has been in a high position, the supreme ruler of the imperial power, with the power of life and death in his hands, and has three thousand beauties, but he is so lonely.As the saying goes, it's too cold to be at a high place. In a high position, he has no one who can really confide his thoughts, not even the queen. He chooses to bear all the helplessness and troubles by himself.Since the death of Concubine Lian, the sense of loneliness conveyed by the master has become even worse.

"Well, the courtiers in the early court wrote letters to praise You'er, saying that as a prince, he was able to go deep into the epidemic area, took the lead in dealing with the plague epidemic in Yancheng, and cared for the people. Let me give encouragement and praise as appropriate. Haoran, tell me, what should I do? What's good about rewarding You'er?" Ling Yan snorted coldly, then asked in a flat tone, but his eyes were so sharp.

Haoran couldn't figure out the emperor's intentions for a moment. Indeed, the plague in Yancheng was able to be brought under control, and the Eldest Prince was indispensible in finding a cure for the plague. He not only disregarded his own danger and visited the epidemic area in person, but also made a contribution to the royal family of Xuanguo. A good example.But, looking at the emperor's expression, but. . .

It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and the emperor's mind is the most unpredictable.After thinking for a moment, Haoran said seriously: "Back to the emperor, the eldest prince has indeed contributed a lot to the Yancheng plague this time. The prince not only won the support of the people, but also set a good example for the royal family of Xuan Kingdom. The subordinates think that Certain rewards and commendations should be given. The eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor and the empress, and his age has also been changed to the age of the king. Why don't the emperor make him a prince and reward the eldest prince with the mansion, so that the courtiers will inevitably have no You can talk. The people of the world will also appreciate the kindness of the emperor!"

"Hmph, I'm afraid the courtiers are asking for more than just the position of a prince for You'er. Forget it, let's make Youer the Prince of Yan. The mansion has not been built yet, so let's separate the drinking spring in the south of Tianyi City first." Please give it to him." Ling Yan sighed helplessly.

Are you really old?Even his son and courtiers couldn't wait to set up his own reserve, power is really a fascinating thing!

"Your majesty is wise!" Mo Haoran looked at the melancholy emperor, knowing that every decision he made was deliberate. The emperor's reluctance to pass the position of crown prince to the eldest prince may have something to do with the eldest prince's aptitude, but more Most of them are worried about the forces behind him.The Lian family has held power since the reign of the first emperor, and Lian Guodong was the prime minister. The lower-born emperor was able to get the appreciation and recognition of the first emperor, which is inseparable from the help of Lian Guodong.The emperor fell in love with Lian Yunrou, Lian Guodong's daughter-in-law. Of course, Lian Guodong would spare no effort to help the emperor ascend the throne for his daughter's future.After the emperor ascended the throne, to express his gratitude, he vigorously promoted the Lian family. Therefore, through the accumulation of many years, the Lian family has already been deeply rooted in the court.In recent years, some people in the Lian family's family have become more and more unscrupulous, perverse and deceitful by relying on their power.This made the emperor gradually become wary and disgusted with him.Although half of the Lian family's blood flowed on the third prince, the prince's biological mother was the concubine daughter of Lian Guodong and his concubine, and she didn't receive much protection from the Lian family, and she didn't have much status in the Lian family.Since the third prince was born, he has never interacted with the Lian family.The empress hated the concubine Lian for her younger sister who had taken her love, so the Lian family had no contact with the concubine Lian and the third prince.

******

In Zhaoyang Palace, Lingxue stood at the door of the bedroom in a light blue brocade skirt with tiny white flowers, looking at the dark night sky without a single star.Guqing's back is like her state of mind at this moment, does the warm embrace that she feels she can rely on in this life still belong to her?It's not that she doesn't understand that since ancient times, emperors have been unlucky, and it is impossible to have long-term love in the deep palace, but they have been married for less than half a year, and the past love and affection are still vivid, why is it just a moment of prosperity?The happiness that she had not yet come and touched gently slipped away like this.The confidante cut off her kindness before she was old, she never thought that this day would come so soon!

The palace lanterns swayed in the wind, and the jasper beads falling from the lanterns made a small sound in the wind.Ling Xue's expression was desolate, just like the night sky at this moment, without a single ray of light, she was so oppressed that her heart and lungs would burst.She didn't cry, but just stared blankly at the square sky. At this moment, he is a beauty in his arms, and the red tent is fragrant, right?

Recalling the anticipation for his return these days, the soreness in my heart couldn't help throbbing again.How could he be so cruel?She waited obsessively in the boudoir, looking through the autumn water, but what he brought her was a new love.I was wrong from the very beginning, as Princess Xuan, she should not have invested in this political marriage from the beginning, and she should not have any expectations for him who was born as an emperor. In the end, she was only scarred and sad. lungs.

When Zi'er entered the palace with a cup of Ningshen tea from the imperial dining room, she happened to see Ling Xue standing alone at the door of the bedroom, and seeing her master's desolate expression made her feel sore.

"Mother, why did you come out? I didn't ask Xiang'er to help you put on a cloak. You are so thin, you can catch cold easily." She nervously placed the tray on the edge of the corridor, holding Ling Xue's hand and exclaimed .

Ling Xue shook her head in a daze, Zi'er brought the teacup into the dormitory, came out from the room holding a white cloak, put the cloak on Ling Xue, and cursed: "I really don't know how these palaces are What are the maidservants and eunuchs doing for food, the empress is blowing the wind here alone, and she doesn't try to persuade her, if the empress is sick, I will never spare you poor sons of mine."

Hearing Zi'er's yelling and cursing, Xiang'er, Yue'er, Xiao Xiazi and Xiao Luzi, who were in charge of serving in Zhaoyang Palace, knelt down to plead guilty to the queen. Lingxue came back to her senses and looked at Zi'er with a serious face. He smiled wryly with a nervous expression: "Zi'er, what are you doing? I didn't let them serve by my side, so don't blame them." After speaking, he turned to the kneeling servants and said, "Get up, all of you, stay behind." Those who keep vigil tonight, everyone else should go down and rest."

Xiao Xiazi was in charge of the night watch tonight, and the other three were ordered to retreat.Zi'er pouted and said aggrievedly: "Why doesn't your mother take care of your body? The Ningshen tea has just been brewed, and this servant will help you use it!"

Lingxue nodded, holding Zi'er's hand, turned around and approached the bedroom.The night was completely dark, leaving only the dim light of the palace lanterns in the corridor.Lingxue took the Ningshen tea handed over by Zi'er, and drank it in one gulp, the bitter taste flooded her whole mouth, making her frown slightly.Zi'er handed over a box of candied fruit, hoping to relieve the bitterness from her master, but Ling Xue refused: "Just pour me a glass of water, this tea is not bitter."

Zi'er put away the candied fruit and said nothing, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Ling Xue as she said.

"Your Majesty, are you going to rest? It's getting late, and I have to go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow morning!" Zi'er persuaded softly.

"I'm not sleepy, Zi'er, bring my Yanyuqin, I want to play a piece!" Ling Xue raised her head and ordered.

"Mother, it's late at night, I'm afraid playing the piano at this moment..." Zi'er could not help persuading worriedly. At this moment, all the empresses and young masters in the six palaces have already rested. inappropriate.

"You just bring it. Heh, the news from Nanting today, I'm afraid tonight's bedtime is destined to be a sleepless night. Both the palace and sisters are looking forward to the emperor's return, but they are looking forward to such news. Tell me, can the sisters still sleep peacefully?" Ling Xue didn't care about Zi'er's advice, and said lazily with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth.

Zi'er saw that her master had made up her mind, and knowing his temper well, she knew it would be useless to talk too much, so she nodded and went down to fetch the piano.

Ling Xue came to the edge of the piano stand and sat down, adjusted her posture, gently stroked the pattern engraved on the citron with her white fingers like jade, and the two carved lifelike birds whispered to each other, Like glue like paint.Next to it is engraved with the word Yanyu in official script, which was written by the emperor himself and asked the carpenter to engrave it in the same way. Now things are different and people are different.

Fingers dexterously plucked the strings, and the beautiful and mournful melody was extraordinarily clear in this silent night.Between the opening and closing of the bright red lips and teeth, there was a melodious singing: "The winter snow is bleak and the weather is cold, and the white plum blossoms are better than the snow fragrance at the beginning. The gulls and swallows return to Nanxiang, thinking of the king's personal conquest, and heartbroken. I miss my hometown, Jun Why do you love to stay elsewhere? The humble concubine stays alone in the empty room, worrying about you and thinking about you. I dare not forget. I don’t feel my tears stain my clothes, and I help the harpsichord to send Qingshang. Short songs can’t be long. The moon shines brightly on my bed. .Holding hands and hair and carrying frost, how can you live up to Bing Xin?"

The tune is sad and tactful, and there is nowhere to say it is bleak.Zi'er stood by, watching her master's full of sorrow, her eyes felt cold. The empresses of the various palaces in the ** are really just as Ling Xue expected, it is a sleepless night.When they heard the sound of the piano and singing from Zhaoyang Palace, they all listened attentively.Some sad, some indifferent. . .

The most taboo thing in the palace is for concubines to show mournful emotions. The queen mother, Lan Mengjiao, who was about to go to bed at the moment, just lay down under the service of her maid, when she heard the sound of the piano and the rather sad song carried by the wind.Listening to the deep love and longing, as well as the trace of resentment, Lan Mengjiao had mixed feelings, how similar she was when she was young.But how can you wantonly express your dissatisfaction in front of others?She frowned slightly, and asked aloud, "Jiaqi, who is playing the piano?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the sound of the piano seems to be coming from Zhaoyang Palace." Jiaqi is the Empress Dowager's personal maid. She is covering the Empress Dowager. When she heard this song, she was also moved by the beautiful and cold melody Deeply moved, if the Queen Mother hadn't asked, she would have continued to indulge in it.

"It's the queen playing the piano. This child, it's no wonder that she is always arrogant. She and Xin'er have been married for less than half a year, and she heard such news. Hey, this is the girl. She has never been incapable. It's up to you. Forget it, let her vent a bit." The queen mother smiled wryly with a look of pity.

In fact, for the queen, a woman from the same country as herself, and Ling Yan's niece, she likes her from the bottom of her heart, and because of these reasons, she will be more partial and loving among the many concubines.But as Xin'er's mother, she understands that her son's concubine of Nanan Township must be for the sake of Li Guo's country, and she also understands her son's decision and actions. As an emperor, love cannot be the first consideration. In front of Jiangshan Sheji, it is simply insignificant.Therefore, for women who are married, emperors have been ungrateful since ancient times, and this is also the helplessness of women who are married.
