The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 370 Brothers
The wars of the former dynasty were victorious again and again, and the emperor took care of all kinds of opportunities every day, and he didn't feel tired because of the joy of the battle. He often discussed with the military officials about the formation of troops to advance and retreat until midnight.

On November 25th, the troops were divided into three armies to raid the Wu army, and they were defeated again and again. The emperor was overjoyed and ordered Concubine Wan, the "lucky star", to enter the Qianqing Palace at night.

This night Wanyu stayed in the Qianqing Palace, and she was confused when she heard the emperor's talk about the war in the previous dynasty for a long time, but she only felt that the emperor was happy, it must be a very good thing, so she often smiled at her side.

The emperor closed his eyes comfortably, and breathed out slowly, seemingly a bit tired: "Wan'er, after a while, the war will settle down, and I always want to advance to your position."

Wan Lai curled up a bunch of black and blue silk, and gently twitched between the emperor's arms, Qianqian said with a smile: "False things are not rare for concubines, if the emperor wants to be promoted, it is better to be promoted by Jin Yi and concubines on the apex of the emperor's heart." position."

The emperor pinched his finger on her ear and abdomen, and joked: "Then there is no way to advance."

Wan Yu said angrily: "The emperor only wants to give the ministers and concubines status, and he doesn't want to love them more?"

The emperor said in a somewhat joking tone: "There is no way to advance, because Wan'er's position in my heart is already the top one. Nizi couldn't understand what I said, so she still quarreled with me on purpose." ?”

As he said, he twisted the tip of Wanyu's nose, and looked sideways at her with fixed eyebrows: "I'm not joking with you, the emperor's grandmother mentioned to me a few days ago that the concubine's position in the harem is empty, and the concubine's mother's family is in the front court. Contributors, after the war in the previous dynasty has been settled, the concubine position must be completed. I thought, if you want to stand side by side with Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui, you will always be wronged. Besides, you It is the one that is most in line with my heart, and can be worthy of the status of noble concubine."

When it comes to this matter, even though Wan Lai is grateful for the emperor's affection, she still feels depressed.

Her frail and boneless fingers moved gently in the quilt of Shuanglong Xizhu, subconsciously protecting her lower abdomen, then sighed silently, shook her head and said: "I have no blessings, I am ashamed of loving the emperor for a long time, and I can't be the emperor. Adding a son and a half daughter will open up branches and leaves for the Qing Dynasty. Now it is an unexpected happy event to have no son and become a concubine, so how dare you demand so many other things?"

The emperor saw her sad, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then hugged her tightly: "I always say such sad things, I feel sorry for you. It doesn't matter if you have children or not? You are the one I dote on, don't you?" As a side matter, it’s fine if it’s you. Besides, isn’t the imperial concubine conferred the title of imperial concubine without a son? She has Yinti and Yinzhi under her knees. Now that Yinzhen is about to be full moon, you and Lan Changzai have a deep friendship. I think about it , if you don’t raise the child under your knees, so as to conform to the rules of the ancestors, when you are enshrined as a noble concubine in the future, you can make the previous court less resigned."

Wan Lai crouched in the arms of the emperor, and the emperor still had a fiery temperature, which was the most comforting in this cold winter day.She didn't feel closer to him, as if this person was her only reliance, she just wanted to get closer so that she could feel more at ease.

"Everything is up to the emperor."

The emperor scratched her chin and smiled heartily.But the laughter lasted for more than a moment, and then heard him sigh again.

Wan Yu quietly glanced at the emperor, seeing that his brows were worried, so she asked: "What's wrong with the emperor?"

The emperor's voice was full of deep worry: "There is one thing, the imperial concubine has kept it from me, and Yinti has also kept it from me. This is why I am afraid."

Wan Lai stretched out her hand to caress the thin layer of beard growing on the emperor's upper lip, feeling a little prickly.

She understood what the emperor said, probably because Yinreng beat Yinti that day for no reason.

But she can only pretend not to know about such things, and wait for the emperor to say something.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then he really said: "Yinfeng didn't recite the book with all his heart, and seeing that Yinzhen was praised by the Taifu, he beat Yinzhen. No one will stop such a thing, and the palace servants who serve Yinfeng will not come Yinti didn't say a word, and the imperial concubine even smiled when she saw me, just as if she didn't know about it. If it wasn't for the fact that Shen Ye happened to bump into it that day and brought it up while chatting with me, I would still be ignorant, I'm an idiot man of!"

Shen Ye?

Wanyu was taken aback when she heard that, this person who even the palace would not want to offend, but he dared to speak out, no wonder the emperor valued him.

"There is such a thing?" Wanyu pretended to be surprised, and sighed leisurely: "I am a child and a boy at the same time, it is normal to play and fight. But because the master praised the big brother, he wanted to fight , the prince's temperament is too strong."

"That's why I punished him." The emperor shook his head, with a bit of hatred for iron and steel in his words: "I want him to think about it in the side hall tonight, kneel down and sing Dongpo's " "Third Watch Rain on the Leaves of Indus Trees"①Recite it for me."

Wanyu was silent for a moment, then pondered and recited: "'It rains on the leaves of the phoenix tree at three o'clock. There is no place to find the soul of the dream. The pillow is known to be autumn in the cool night, and I listen to the cold gnats to promote the opportunity. The dream has a history. Still Drunk singing and dancing in the Jiangting Pavilion. There must be someone who asked the king in front of you to say goodbye.'" After reciting this poem, it was meaningful and whispered in the emperor's ear: "This poem originally said that Su Dongpo was in a rainy autumn. At night, he dreamed of his younger brother in his dream, creating a dream of relatives reunited. This way of expressing his thoughts and emotions also brought out the deep friendship between his brothers. The emperor did this to let the prince understand brothers and friends Brother Gong's reasoning?"

The emperor looked at Wanyu quite approvingly, nodded his head and said: ""The Book of Five Emperors"② once said: "Make Bu Li teach in all directions, father and mother are kind, brothers and friends are respectful, sons are filial, internal peace and external success." Yin Yin Reng dares to beat his elder brother without reason today, and if he fails to keep it all right tomorrow, he will lose sight of his elders. He is so arrogant at such an age, I am afraid that because of Empress Renxiao, I spoil him too much and drown him. "

"Having said that, he is still a child. He has made mistakes, and he must always be guided. The emperor punished him to kneel in the hall. It would take him two hours to kneel. If he hurt his knee, it is not us who are distressed." ?”

The emperor was already a little sleepy, his eyes were lightly closed, and he replied vaguely: "When I was young, the late emperor punished me a lot. Why didn't you see that I was injured half a point? He is precious."

At the end of the last few sentences, the emperor's words were already somewhat vague.Wanyu gently tucked the quilt up for him, and when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard rustling voices coming from outside the hall.

The hall was already silent, but the sudden movement was like dense needles piercing the eardrums of people, causing people to be bored.

The emperor opened his eyes annoyed, lifted the quilt and shouted outside the room: "What's the trouble?"

Behind the door, the sound of a person's knees slamming on the ground was faintly heard, and then trembling words came out: "The emperor. The prince. He passed out!"

At midnight, the rain hit the phoenix trees, and the sound of the pattering rain awakened the author's dream.In reality, he is still separated from his relatives.With infinite melancholy, he wanted to find the dream again, but there was "nowhere to look".
