Qing court ladies

Chapter 103
Su Yue listened to others whispering about the deposed prince, she was very sad, and she was absent-minded all day long.

"Suyue, what's the matter with you recently?" Zilu pulled the tub in front of Suyue and began to help with the washing.

Su Yue shook her head, not knowing where to start with what was on her mind.

"Suyue, you've been out of your mind ever since you heard the news about the prince. Are you worried about the prince?" Zilu looked around and asked Suyue quietly when she saw no one came.

Su Yue's face turned pale, "Shh, you can't talk about this kind of thing, besides, I'm not for this matter"

When Zilu heard this, she didn't dare to speak anymore, and concentrated on helping Suyue wash her clothes.

Suyue looked at Zilu, Zilu cared and Suyue understood, but how should she tell Zilu what she was thinking?What's more, can Zilu understand these words?
The prince was abolished, Su Yue thought of the arrogant prince, and felt sad, how could the prince bear such a gap, and after the prince was abolished, the affairs of Yinzhen and Yinhu also began to develop towards the historical records , How do they bear this gap in treatment.

After a few days of silence, Kangxi convened a court meeting with ministers, and then denounced Yinhu, the eighth son of the emperor, for seeking a reserve position, being disrespectful to his brother-in-law, committing the crime of enticing ministers, cutting him Baylor, and confining him to the mansion.

When Ye Suyue looked at the bright moon in the sky, tears streaming down her face, Yinhu finally went further and further on this road, and he still couldn't see clearly so far.

In November of the 47th year of Kangxi, Yinzhi, the third son of the emperor, told Yinti, the eldest son of the emperor, to curse the crown prince and cut him off as the prince of Zhijun.The vice capital censor, Laozhi, played a role in protecting and abolishing the prince, and seized his post.Calling the courtiers to discuss the establishment of the crown prince, Aling'a, Elundai, Wang Hongxu and other ministers asked the emperor's eighth son Yinhu, but Emperor Kangxi refused.Release the abolished prince Yinfeng.Minister Wang asked Yinreng to be crowned prince again.Fu Yin Hu Baylor.

From the time when the thirteenth elder brother was imprisoned, there was a lot of noise in the court, the crown prince was abolished, Yinhu was demoted, the elder brother was demoted, and all the princes were in danger.

In the first month of the 48th year of Kangxi, Kangxi summoned court officials to interrogate who was the first to advocate the establishment of Yinhu, and the officials were terrified.But he asked Zhang Tingyu, and said to him, "I heard about Ma Qi."Later, he found out that he had false accusations and released Ma Qi.

In March, Yinreng was reestablished as the prince, announced to the ancestral temple, and issued an imperial edict to the world.

In April, Yinti was banned in the public office, and officials and soldiers were sent to guard it.

In October, the third son of the emperor, Prince Yinzhicheng, the fourth son, Prince Yinzhenyong, the fifth son, Prince Yinqiheng, the seventh son, Prince Yinyouchun, the tenth son, Prince Yinyudun, the ninth son, Yinyu, Huang The twelve sons Yinzhen and the emperor's fourteenth son Yinzhen are both Baylor.The Old Summer Palace was built in the north of the Changchun Garden in the west of Beijing, where Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, lived.

After the crown prince came back to power, he became more arrogant and domineering, singing and dancing to promote peace, acting arrogantly, and blatantly drinking with ministers.

In September of the 51st year of Kangxi, the crown prince Yinfeng was deposed again for his crimes and imprisoned in Xian'an Palace.In November, Kangxi sued the temple by abolishing the prince, declaring the world.Since then, the prince has left the crown prince forever, and the court has become active again. The prince was abolished. The princeling party, led by the fourth son Yinzhen, appeared in front of everyone. A large network of officials.

Since the crown prince was abolished, the courtiers have repeatedly reported to Kangxi to establish the crown prince again. The minister Zhao Shenqiao said that the crown prince's country should be registered.It was rejected by Kangxi, and the court memorial was returned.Then the ministers again discussed the establishment of the reserve, but Kangxi rejected them one by one.

Until the 53rd year of Kangxi, Kangxi called a group of ministers and courts to discuss the establishment of the crown prince, and the ministers of the court headed by Tong Guowei recommended Yinhu, the eighth son of the emperor. Kangxi was furious, and reprimanded Yinhu as the son of a bitch who was born in Xin. for storage.

After this, Yinhu completely withdrew from the stage of the crown prince competition.

Every year is similar, every year is different, Yinhu looks up at the bright moon in the sky, blood and tears in his heart, Su Yue's words are still in his ears, but now they are all facts, do you regret it or not?

"Master, someone wants to see you." Gao Ming looked at Yinhu with distress, and handed the jade pendant in his hand to Yinhu.

Yinhu didn't want to see anyone at first, but when he saw the jade pendant handed over by Gao Ming, he changed his appearance and ordered in a low voice, "Go and bring him quietly, no one is around here, you stay at the gate of the courtyard"

Gao Ming should be so, quickly went to lead the person, dismissed all the others, and brought the person to the small courtyard.

Yinhu looked at the man in a black cloak with a hat covering his face, and his heart was extremely complicated, "Now, everything is as you said, are you here to ask me the answer?"

The black cloak and hat were put away, and the woman in old palace attire smiled bitterly, "These things are meaningless now, I didn't come here to ask anything, I just wanted to say something"

Yinhu filled the wine glass placed in the yard and handed it to the woman, "This is the wine I brewed in the year you entered Xinzheku. It would be nice for you to taste it with me now, isn't it, Su Yue?"

Su Yue picked up the wine glass and drank it down, "Don't take his words to heart, he just doesn't like people threatening his imperial power"

"Suyue, do you still remember the story you told when we were in the cave?" Yinhu seemed not to care what Suyue said, and asked a long-awaited question. Suyue thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't remember, so she just shook her head.

"You said that the scholar who loves butterflies hates that butterflies used to be cicada chrysalis." Yinhu laughed at himself a little bit, the smile on his face was extremely bitter "At the beginning, I thought that no matter what it was, as long as I successfully quit the cicada chrysalis, I would be able to be loved by everyone. Butterflies, soaring in the sky, turned out to be all wrong, as long as you were a cicada chrysalis, you will never be the butterfly that everyone loves"

Su Yue remembered that story, it was a story where she compared the emperor and the good concubine, and satirized Kangxi.

"So it's not the wine of victory, it's so bitter." Yinhu sipped cup after cup, and tasted cup after cup. It turned out that the wine of that year was doomed to today's ending. That's because he naively thought that this cup of wine must be let When he and Su Yue celebrated, he also told Su Yue that what she said back then, Su Yue was wrong.

"Yinhu, I can't empathize with the pain in your heart, but seeing you like this, my pain will not be less, Yinhu, you..." Kangxi's words completely broke all the foundations of Yinhu, self-confidence , for Concubine Liang, the deceased is already dead, and Kangxi said such words, it is really sad.

"When Erniang passed away, she told me that her identity was my pain, and she didn't want to live to remind him of my birth. Suyue, Erniang left, and left for me. Suyue, I wanted to cherish everything All of them were lost along the way." Yinhu said very calmly, with almost no ups and downs in tone, but with such hopeless sadness.

"Yinhu, let yourself go. If you have lost something, then cherish what you have now and live well. I think this is what Liangfei Empress wants to see most." Su Yue walked up to Yinhu and held him tightly. Hugged tightly in my arms.

"Suyue, don't leave me." Yinhu buried her face in Suyue's waist, praying heavily.

"Yinhu, no matter what happens, I will always be with you. Please live well for your concubine, me, and those you love or love you." Su Yue looked down at Yinhu's head, crystal clear Tears fell down the cheeks.If you can't cry, then I will help you cry, if you can't hurt, then I will help you hurt.

It was already three o'clock when Suyue returned to the palace, Zilu was guarding the door, looking at Suyue, busy pulling her into the house.The two exchanged glances and quickly went to bed and fell asleep.

In November of the 55th year of Kangxi, Kangxi did not hesitate to stay in Changchun Garden.On the night of the twelfth day, Li Dequan returned to the palace from the Changchun Garden, and rushed to Xinzheku. From time to time, all the lamps in Xinzheku were lit, and Li Dequan went outside to invite Suyue.

Kangxi has been lingering in bed recently, and Su Yue has a bad feeling in her heart, but thinking that it is only 55 years of Kangxi, and there are still six years left in Kangxi, she didn't take the rumors outside seriously, but now she looks at Li Dequan anxious and worried , Su Yue's heart still throbbed hard.

"Suyue, Lord Long Live invites you, come with me." Li Dequan bowed his hands to Suyue, and made a gesture of invitation.

Suyue followed closely behind. On a day in November, the night was already chilly. Suyue came out in a hurry. She would walk in the corridors of the palace. The cold wind was blowing. A cloak of white fox fur was draped around him.It was actually covered by Li Dequan.

"Thank you, Manager Li." Su Yue lamented Li Dequan's carefulness.Then he couldn't stop the doubts in his heart, and asked, "Director Li came here late at night, what's the matter in such a hurry?"

Li Dequan sighed quietly, his eyes were red, "Long Live Lord is not in good health recently, I want to see you"

Su Yue didn't dare to ask any more questions, but she felt more panic in her heart, and her bad premonition gradually expanded.The palace is not far from Changchun Garden, but Suyue came here for the first time, but she lost the mood to watch and walked briskly all the way.

As soon as Su Yue arrived in front of the palace, she saw the ministers in court uniforms, and Li Dequan led Su Yue directly into the bedroom, but there was a prince standing outside, entering the inner hall, Su Yue almost burst into tears.

Not seen for many years, Kangxi has gray hair, leaning on the cushion, watching Suyue enter the door, smiling slightly.

"You all go down, you are not allowed to come in without my summons." Kangxi sent people to leave, only said one sentence, and coughed for a long time, Su Yue stepped forward to give Kangxi a favor, and Li Dequan led the people out.

"Suyue, you still haven't changed, but I'm old, and now I'm approaching my birthday, do I cough...cough." Before Kangxi finished speaking, he coughed so hard that his lungs were piercing.

Suyue's tears could no longer be held back, "What did Lord Long Live say? Lord Long Live is Long Live, how can he be old, Lord Long Live will live forever"

"Cough, don't comfort me." Kangxi pulled down Shunqi's hand on his chest, held it in his hand, felt the roughness of Suyue's hand, and felt a pain in his heart, "Suyue, you hate me." Without waiting for Suyue's answer, he said, " you should hate"

Su Yue wanted to say that she didn't hate, but she couldn't say such words against her will, even if it was to comfort the old man, Su Yue still had a lump in her throat and couldn't say it.

"I remember that back then, Huang Ama doted on Concubine E, saying that Concubine E's child was the first child, and she loved her so much that she couldn't be more fond of her. However, she was true to me and my brothers. After Concubine E's death, Huang Ama even abandoned her. Grandmother and her parents became monks. The emperor's grandmother was distraught, and she asked me to swear that she would never repeat the same mistakes. It was because I hated Concubine E to the core, and I also had resentment towards Huang Ama. I didn't understand Huang's love until I met you. Ama's mood, Su Yuezhen said these things, do you think I am making excuses?" Kangxi asked Suyue while looking at Suyue.

Su Yue shook her head, Su Yue could naturally understand Kangxi's mood at that time, as a son, who doesn't want to be loved by his parents.

"Suyue, in my life, I ascended the throne at the age of eight, and took charge of the government at the age of 14. I have been trembling for many years. I feel that I am worthy of my ancestors and the people of the people. I met you again. I have to taste sex. I have no regrets in this life, but I am ashamed of you. "Kangxi said a lot of words in one breath, and he was a little out of breath.

"Long Live Lord never owed me anything, so I don't need to be ashamed." Kangxi had given her enough, and indeed he never owed me anything.

"Su Yue, have you ever loved me?" Kangxi suddenly said such a sentence, as if he had no intention of doing so.

But Su Yue didn't know, did she love Kangxi?She once asked herself, but there was no answer.Back then when Kangxi was in full swing and proud of his domineering aura, Su Yue was not indifferent. He was an emperor through the ages, he was domineering and arrogant, coupled with his handsome appearance, no woman could resist.But that was just liking, and everything after that was always wrong, as if the gears of fate were geared wrongly, always missing, gradually Su Yue's heart became cold.
