The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 197 The Phoenix Falls ([-])

There was a bleak cool wind coming from nowhere, the candle shadows in the Fengming Palace Lantern flickered and flickered, the air was as silent as a dead pool, as if it was about to condense into ice, trying to freeze everything around it.

The queen took the emperor's hand, pressed it lightly, shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine is fine."

The emperor raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and nodded heavily: "You are fine, I will not let you be fine!"

The smile on the queen's face was like splashing ink on the rice paper, it was so pure and unrestrained.She turned her head and looked at the three concubines Yi who were waiting on the side. A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes as usual, and she called softly: "This palace and the emperor have something to say about themselves, so you all stand down." Bar."

Concubine Yi took two steps back, brought Wanyan and Rong Yue to kneel down, and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the queen.

After the ceremony was completed, the three of them withdrew from the dormitory together with Qingyue and the wet nurse.

The queen shook her head with a wry smile, and sighed slightly: "Concubine Yi has been with my concubine for several years, and it's been a long time since I have performed such a grand gift. This bow now is regarded as my last farewell to my concubine."

The emperor stroked the queen's scattered forehead hair, and comforted him softly: "Shuyu, don't say such bad words, you will get better."

The queen sighed briefly, as if vomited out all the grievances and grievances accumulated in her heart for many years.She was exhausted due to dystocia, and her breath became weaker and weaker, but she looked at the emperor with tenderness in her eyes, and said with a meaningless smile: "Your Majesty, I know my own body well. I know that my life is going to be found." It's Cheng Hu." There were crystal tears in her eyes: "Leaving him alone, how can a mother feel at ease?"

This is the first time since the empress has been in the middle palace, she does not call herself a concubine or a concubine. This time, I seem to have let go of many external affairs. Now I am just an ordinary wife talking to her husband, and I don't care about the many rules Etiquette: "Fortunately, I gave birth to a safe and healthy elder brother for the emperor. In this way, I have no regrets in my life."

The emperor couldn't bear his emotions any longer, and wept unceasingly: "Shuyu, you have paid too much for Zhen and Qing Dynasty in this life."

The queen's expression was obviously stagnant, and she said with a smile for a while: "The emperor said that, the concubine should be happy in her heart. However, the concubine is for the emperor's friendship from the beginning to the end. The concubine is the phoenix in the palace. It looks like a treasure snatched from others. If it wasn't for the turmoil in the previous dynasty, the empress dowager would never let Chen Qie become the queen of the Qing Dynasty. Chen Qie is sitting on pins and needles in this post. Things that should not belong to the concubine suddenly came into the concubine's hands, it would be better if the concubine never had them. The concubine is extremely terrified, afraid that this honor and favor will be blown away with the wind one day, and will never be found again."

The queen's complexion became paler due to excessive blood loss.

The emperor shook his head lightly, and said with extreme reluctance in his eyes: "Shuyu is virtuous and virtuous, this Empress of the Qing Dynasty deserves nothing for you."

"If the concubines are not as virtuous and virtuous as the emperor thinks, will the emperor detest them?"

The emperor stared at the queen and shook his head in silence. The queen's eyes were covered with a layer of morning mist, and she lightly swept the warm jade bracelet on her wrist, thinking: "This is when the concubines first met the emperor. The things that the emperor bestowed on the courtiers and concubines. Although they are not considered expensive, the ministers and concubines carry them with them every day. Even if they later become queens and enjoy all the honor and favor, the ministers and concubines are unwilling to lose their original intentions. Ministers A concubine does not have the beauty of a concubine Yi, nor does the concubine Wan concubine have the intelligence and intelligence, even the concubine Xian is not as gentle as water, and the concubine feels ashamed of being loved by the emperor for so many years."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "You are different from others, no matter how good others are, in my heart, they are just the light of a candle, but you are the bright moon in my heart, the first wife of my bright matchmaker, who will drink together , is the queen of the Aixinjueluo family, and the mother of the Qing Dynasty. My previous dynasty was stable, and the Hesheli family contributed a lot. The harem has been well-organized these years, and it is also you who have managed it well, which has saved me a lot of effort."

He said, holding the queen's hand, stroking the warm jade bracelet worn on it: "Even if you are wrong, your position in my heart is unmatched by anyone."

"The emperor knows?" The queen took a deep breath, showing a relieved smile: "The concubine has been with the emperor for nearly ten years, and she has worked hard for the posthumous position, and thought a lot about the honor and favor. In the end, it seems that she has everything. In fact, nothing is enough. The concubine is pregnant with this child, because of what Qin Tianjian said, she is really afraid. The concubine is afraid that she will be like a noble person, and she will die within a day after giving birth to the prince. I am even more afraid that my child will be a princess, which will make the emperor happy. Fortunately, the emperor's thoughts and the obsessions of the concubines have been fulfilled now. If there is any retribution, it will be directed at the concubines Come on, as long as the emperor and the child are healthy, the concubines have nothing to fear."

The queen's lower body kept gushing warm blood, and at this time half of the bed was already stained red.The hem of the emperor's bright yellow court clothes was also completely dyed a bright red.

He is still holding the queen's hand, but the temperature of that hand is getting colder and the light in his eyes is gradually dimming, just like the few sticks of benzoin that are burning in the palace, they are consumed by the fire light by bit, until they become dead ashes and fall powerlessly onto the incense burner Inside.

"There is nothing wrong with you. I know in my heart that you have done many things according to the will of the emperor's grandmother. The former court and the harem are all connected with each other. Even me, I have also changed from an ignorant boy in the past to a Now kill the decisive king. How can I expect you to be as ignorant of the world as when you first entered the palace?"

He leaned over and kissed the queen lightly on the forehead, and hot tears flowed down his clear and distinct jaw line onto the queen's cold cheeks.

The queen suddenly felt a warm feeling welling up from the bottom of her heart, and smiled with tears in her eyes: "Your majesty, I still remember the day you and I got married, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the teaching nuns guided you and me to complete the wedding ceremony. At that time, the minister My concubine asked you something, do you remember?"

The emperor nodded, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked haggard and sad: "That day you asked, 'Why do I want to call you the emperor but not your name, if I swear to the Tianmeng like this, how can God know who you are'. I will remember every word you say."

The queen's body became more and more tired, and there was more emptiness and hope in her eyes.

She looked at the half-hanging moon shadow veil beside the bed, and a drop of tears fell sadly: "The mother admonished the concubine that day, saying that you are the emperor, so you are naturally different from ordinary people. Now, the concubine wants to pay the respects to the emperor." , just treat yourself as a woman from an ordinary family, marrying the emperor, how good is that?"

The emperor nodded gently, with a warm smile on his face, and said softly: "Aixinjue Luo Xuanye, today we are married with Hesheli Shuyu, and I hope that we will always be together year after year, and our love will never be abandoned."
