Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 325 The Emperor's Daughter

"A shipbuilding plan can drag you down, and Meiji will drag you into the quagmire sooner or later. Hmph!" On the way to Zhongcui Palace, Guan Xuqing heard that Mingzhi even saved food in order to mobilize people to save money, so he couldn't help but look up to the sky Laugh out loud.Wang Shang watched from the sidelines again, feeling furious in his heart: "The emperor's slaves often think that if the emperor continues to work so diligently, China will surely revitalize, but the emperor, you should also cherish the dragon's body." Wang Shang thought that the emperor was overworked and lost his mind. blurred.

Guan Xuqing smiled and kicked Wang Shang: "You bastard, this is Longyan Dayue, what are you thinking, kid?"

"Good Joy, good Joy." Wang Shang wiped the sweat off his brow and grinned.

Guan Xuqing smiled and stopped talking, only waved for him to lead the way.While walking, I looked around, and if I didn’t pay attention, it was already the tip of the willow on the moon. It was the moment when the crescent moon was just like a hook. A silver hook hung high in the sky, a little elegant and a little lonely.

When he arrived at the Zhongcui Palace, Guan Xuqing suddenly felt a sense of peace and warmth in his heart. He couldn't explain why, but it was that feeling.Until Wang Shangxuan drove, many women came out to greet him, Guan Xuqing's eyes lit up, and the blue concubine who was the leader was full of blessings.

"It's so late, I woke you up when I came here." Guan Xuqing helped Concubine Lan look around at the women present, and said with a smile: "Get up. I really want to thank you for being with my concubine." .”

Guan Xuqing saw a teenage girl shyly hiding behind Concubine Lan, occasionally glanced at the emperor, but kept her head down most of the time.

A middle-aged woman thanked her for her kindness and got up, standing beside Concubine Lan, she kept wrapping her skirt around Youlan.

Concubine Lan invited the emperor to enter, and said: "This is Ronglu's Fujin clan, and this little girl is their daughter, named Youlan. We hit each other very well, and we often talk about family affairs together and become female celebrities."

Guan Xuqing looked Youlan up and down, and couldn't help nodding: "Well, there is a spirit of water in his bones, Ronglu is blessed." Back then, Ronglu joined Prince Li's rebel gang and was sentenced to death by Guan Xuqing, but the disaster was not as good as his family. The Zong family said: "Rong Lu was blinded by his profit and wisdom, and he did great treason and injustice. I won't mention it. Is the sympathy given to you by the court enough?"

The Zong family lowered their heads and said: "Thanks to the blessings of the emperor and the empress, both of us are fine."

Concubine Lan also explained: "The mother and daughter were originally accompanying the concubine. Today, the concubine knew that the emperor was coming back, so she didn't want to stay, but she felt that the emperor might go to see Concubine Zhen, so she stayed. Gossip."

"Oh? Do you have any gossip?" Guan Xuqing sat down and asked casually.

Concubine Lan replied: "I don't have any gossip when I go back to the emperor. On the contrary." She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The clan clan has some gossip."

"Your Majesty just made a joke about your servant." The Zong Shi twisted his waist, pretended to be embarrassed and raised his hand to cover his chest and smiled dryly a few times, but it was not a bit coquettish, and said separately: "The servant dare not say that."

Guan Xuqing asked curiously, "Tell me, I'm here, why don't you dare?"

"Hey, it's better for the concubine to say it. The clan said, there are rumors outside that the emperor looks like Emperor Gaozong." Lan Fei said.

"Oh?" Guan Xuqing frowned, a little confused, why did he look like Qianlong.

"It's about that kind of flair. Everyone says that Emperor Gaozong hooked up with the Guerjia clan of Fu Heng's family, but you, the emperor, hooked up with the clan clan of the Ronglu family of the Guerjia clan." Lan Fei said Then, noticing that the emperor's face was not good-looking, his voice gradually became quieter.But the Zongshi's eyes fluttered, even though he lowered his head and blushed, he was still amorous.

The Zongshi knelt down and said to Concubine Lan: "Even if the slave has eaten the heart of a leopard, I don't dare to be wronged by the slave. Queen, you must say again, the appearance of the slave is so old." After all, the clan's voice is embarrassing. Gradually got smaller.

Guan Xuqing's face suddenly became gloomy and cold, and the original good mood was swept away. Rumors, rumors again?Rumors about the Bannerman have been flying all over the sky in the capital recently, and now there are rumors even in the harem.He stared at Concubine Lan and said word by word: "You are my beloved concubine who wants to be my mother, and you can enjoy gossip like this. Could it be that your face is radiant?"

Concubine Lan didn't expect the emperor to be angry about this trivial matter. It's common to have a romantic affair in the harem, and sometimes it will come true after a long holiday. She has a good relationship with the Zong family, and seeing that she is young, beautiful and widowed for many years, Therefore, if such a rumor is made up, maybe the emperor has no intention but becomes intentional, maybe the Zong family will be sent to the palace that day, and I have many sisters to take care of me.Immediately her face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground: "The emperor's concubines and concubines know they are wrong, and the concubines must never dare to spread this rumor, yes..." Concubine Lan looked at the maids beside her, thinking that this matter must be resolved. On one of the servants, he suddenly pointed to a court lady who was kneeling against the wall: "It was her, it was Ling'er who told me."

The court lady named Ling'er was only fourteen or fifteen years old, she never expected that her master would actually point at her, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled, she couldn't even speak.

Guan Xuqing stood up, looked around at the women present, and said, "I don't want to hear any more rumors in the future!" After that, he flicked his sleeves and took Wang Shang out of Zhongcui Palace.

Ling'er knelt and crawled in front of Concubine Lan, and kept shouting: "Ma'am, please forgive me, Ling'er never said such a thing."

Concubine Lan looked at Xiao Suo's back outside the door, and gradually became infatuated.

The night wind was cold, Guan Xuqing was still angry, striding forward, Wang Shang asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, which empress are we going to now? Or?"

Guan Xuqing was stunned for a moment, didn't speak, and continued to walk forward, but his pace was much slower. Wang Shang didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he had to light a lantern in front of him.

There are still traces of yesterday's snow on the narrow flower path, gusts of north wind blew, and sprinkled fine snow dust from the Qiongzhi Yushu, and got into Guan Xuqing's collar. It was cold and numb. After two sneezes, Wang Shang hurriedly said, "Why don't we go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first."

Guan Xuqing waved his hand, raised his head and suddenly saw a figure shaking on a water pavilion not far away, the figure looked so desolate in the icy and snowy world, Guan Xuqing looked down at his clear shadow under the moonlight, smiled wryly, Why not yourself?

The moonlight slanted behind the person, and the light breeze blew up the corners of her clothes slightly.

Wang Shang approached the emperor and whispered: "Maybe you don't know yet, this is a woman from Dongying. She just entered the palace not long ago. She is called Changzi. It is said that she is the youngest princess of Emperor Meiji."

"Oh? Meiji sent his princess to me? What does he want to do?" Guan Xuqing immediately became vigilant.

"A while ago, you have been busy with the Sino-Russian war. The slave has never had time to tell you about it. It was the princess who insisted on coming, and it has nothing to do with Meiji."

"Oh? Interesting." Guan Xuqing immediately became very interested in this woman.

When they came to Shuixieli, before Wang Shangxuan drove, Guan Xuqing spoke first: "It seems that I am not the only one who has no sleep tonight."

The woman turned around slowly and approached slowly from the light and shadow, Guan Xuqing gradually saw her face clearly.A face that was paler than the moonlight, with hints of sadness and sadness in the brows, Guan Xuqing's heart trembled, but there was still a smile on his face.He frowned slightly and said, "Let me see, is this the princess from Japan?" As he spoke, he lifted up his robe and sat on the opposite side, his eyes playfully sweeping the delicate cup of tea on the stone table , and turned his head to look at Changzi carefully.

For Guan Xuqing's sudden appearance, Changzi didn't show much surprise, but bowed gracefully, and said softly: "My majesty is auspicious!" Ruo Xingchen: "It's rare for the emperor to be free today. It's better to meet him by chance than to invite you. Changzi is lucky to be your host. Please sit down and have a cup of tea."

Guan Xuqing was stunned for a moment, but didn't come back to his senses for a moment, and Changzi didn't wait for him to answer, and turned to the maid beside him, "Qingfeng, bring me a cup of tea."

At this time, Guan Xuqing's mind had been freed from the troubles and worries just now. He watched with great interest as Chang Zi personally ordered a cup of tea for himself, and then sat back to his original position and looked at him quietly, with a faint expression on his face. expression, but the eyes are brighter.

Finally, the corners of Guan Xuqing's mouth slowly rose, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud, but Changzi still sat there quietly, like a wave of peaceful autumn water.There is water vapor rising from the teacup, and there is silence in the water pavilion.

Guan Xuqing picked up the teacup and smelled a faint fragrance of orchid before he took it in, which was refreshing. He took a sip and nodded: "I heard that you are the princess of Emperor Meiji?"

"Yes."

"You insisted on coming to my palace, right?"

"Yes."

"Why?" Guan Xuqing put down the teacup and stared closely at the other person's eyes.

Changzi did not avoid the emperor's gaze at all, but said flatly: "Because I like you, you are a man who can be entrusted to you for life."

Guan Xuqing was stunned again. It was the first time he had heard a woman say such a thing to himself since he became the throne, "I like you" is enough reason, any explanation would be superfluous and pale in front of this sentence.His eyebrows were raised, and he couldn't stop laughing.Changzi didn't smile at all, his eyes were shining with a captivating light.

Guan Xuqing went to Changzi's side, held her soft and boneless little hand, and said softly: "I like you very much too." After saying this, he suddenly raised his voice: "I want to ask you something, You come to China, does Meiji agree?"

"I don't agree. He is afraid that if there is a war between the two countries one day, I will be executed by you." When Changzi said this, it seemed that he was describing a matter that had nothing to do with him.

"If that day really comes, will you be afraid? Will you regret it?" Guan Xuqing has already restrained his smile.

Changzi didn't speak, but shook his head slowly.

"If one day I killed your royal father, what would you do?" Guan Xuqing suddenly asked such a dilemma, his face was covered with a layer of icy frost!

"I would die for him, but I still like you." Masako replied calmly.

Looking at this obsessive and ignorant woman, Guan Xuqing didn't know what to say for a while, only the words kept echoing in his heart, "I like you"
