The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 77 Reset
"Just in order not to hurt my relationship with the Queen Mother, I have one thing I want to hear from you."

The emperor lightly supported the queen's shoulders to let her lean on the goose feather cushion at the head of the bed, then got up by himself, and murmured behind his hands: "The empress mentioned that the concubines in the palace haven't seen their mother's relatives for a long time, thinking about the early April , When the spring is in full bloom, ordering women to go to the inner court to meet the Empress Dowager, can also take this opportunity to temporarily reunite with flesh and blood, and show the royal family's benevolence to the world. What does the empress think of this?"

The empress looked sideways at the emperor's bright eyes, and said lightly: "Everything the empress dowager thinks and says is for the emperor's sake. Although concubines and concubines are only allowed to enter the palace when their daughters are giving birth to princes, there are still rules outside the rules. If there is a favor, the Empress Dowager is sympathetic, if all the sisters in the harem get this happy event, they will naturally be happy."

"That's it." The emperor nodded, and after a moment of silence he whispered: "It's just that Concubine Yi and Wanyue are from the same lineage, and their biological mothers entered the palace. Seeing that Wanyue's status is so low is always inappropriate."

The queen felt sour in her heart, and her brows knit into a ball unconsciously.

I originally wanted to persuade the emperor to know the rules to advance and retreat, but I only said half of the words, the emperor just turned a deaf ear to it, but wanted to restore Wan Lai's position.

And just now I said the outdated words 'beyond the rules, there are human feelings', now if I want to use the rules of my ancestors to suppress the emperor, it will be impossible.

A little helplessness floated in her eyes, and the color of her pupils gradually dimmed like shattered ice floating on a clear spring: "Does the emperor want to regain his position as a nobleman who has been graciously promised?"

The emperor nodded and said nothing, the queen said again: "You can be safe about the miscarriage of your nobleman."

"I asked the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. Although I don't know who is behind it, they can all prove that Wan'er did not do this." The emperor was eager to argue for Wan'er, so he interrupted the queen: "This matter has wronged her. You can't ask Wan'er to bear the responsibility for the foolish things you committed. It will be a matter of time before the left and right sides are restored, why don't you take advantage of the happy event that the empress is pregnant with a son-in-law, speak up in person and forgive her altogether."

The queen rubbed her stomach and was slightly dazed.

Waner?

When did the emperor call his boudoir name so intimately?

The joy of her own pregnancy can also become an opportunity for Wan Lai to be exonerated and resettled. She doesn't know what expression she should make with the emperor's arrangement.

Her eyes were extremely sour, but she held on and rubbed them to keep the tears from gushing out.

He is the Son of Heaven, the Lord of the world.

What can he do with the people he cares about?
She glanced at the shadow reflected on the curtain by the wind blowing trees outside the window, and said with a wry smile: "The emperor didn't suspect her in his heart, did he? It has nothing to do with the secret investigation of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. Thousands of criminal evidences point to her. You are not with her day and night. She is your concubine, how you want to deal with it is up to you, the concubine dare not say too much. It's just that nobleman An lost his son, if the emperor wants to regain the position that he promised, You have to calm her down first."

"I've been with her for so many days, and I've given her a status reward, that's enough." The emperor's tone was clearly displeased: "Everyone in the palace mentioned to me that Mrs. An lost her child, so I want you to comfort her more. But why isn't that my own flesh and blood? I can comfort Mrs. An, but who has ever comforted me?"

The queen sighed: "I think Wan promised to comfort the emperor, otherwise, why would you insist on seeing her every day despite the rumors all over the palace? I have never seen you like this before, and I am really scared when I look at you. "

The emperor looked a little embarrassed, and deliberately turned his back to the queen: "Queen, I don't like you like this. You are my first wife. She is just a woman who can't even be mentioned as a concubine. Do you really want to marry me?" Do you care about this much for her and me?"

The queen shrugged her shoulders and sneered, not feeling a chill coming over her: "Where is the concubine caring about the emperor? The concubine is just caring about himself. The concubine confides, and the concubine is more and more unable to understand the mind of the husband. The concubine also does not know that the concubine is pregnant with the emperor's descendant, why can it become a happy event for others, so that the emperor wants the concubine to forgive me?"

Seeing that the emperor's broad back remained motionless, the queen's heart tightened, and she said mockingly: "Have you forgotten, your majesty? You personally made the decree of the demotion, and you also said it yourself when you promised to be confined in the Yanxi Palace. How can you You were so decisive when you punished, but now when you want to forgive your sins, you have to shirk this matter on your concubine? With all the criticisms in the palace, is the emperor planning to let your concubine bear it for you?"

The emperor shook his head, biting every word seriously: "The empress is so worried during pregnancy, when will I treat you so coldly as you said? This matter is also due to my lack of thoughtfulness, which makes you overwhelmed."

He turned around, kissed the queen's forehead lightly, and said softly: "You can rest assured to raise your baby, I will come to see you tomorrow."

The queen watched him leave without saying a word of congratulations, and only when the emperor lifted the curtain and walked away, she closed her eyes deeply, and two lines of hot tears poured down her eyelids.

During the four years in the palace, she never argued with the emperor.But he didn't want to argue for the first time, but it was when he was pregnant with the dragon heir.

Many images flashed through her mind, grandfather Sony's entrustment before his death, the empress dowager's instructions for many years, the emperor's growing friendship, and the glory of the whole Hesheli family, all of which seemed to be under pressure. The boulder on her chest.

It was extremely difficult for her to sit on this seemingly shining phoenix seat.

The warm sunlight in the hall gently shone on her quilt, and the quiet time of early spring diffused wantonly in the Forbidden City.

All of these seemed to be so perfect, but this perfection gradually had nothing to do with her.

The will of Wan Lai's restoration was finally issued by the emperor's imperial decree to Chengqian Palace, but contrary to the queen's expectation, Mrs. An did not make a fuss.

The palace was completely quiet, as if this matter had already become an inevitable and common thing in everyone's mind.

In the next month, the empress said that she wanted to raise her baby with peace of mind, so she was exempted from the matter of asking for peace in the sixth palace. Later, I learned from Concubine Yi that the empress had a very close relationship with her mother's family these days, so I don't know what she was plotting .

Since the queen became pregnant, the emperor often went to Kunning Palace to accompany her, and spent much less time with Wanyu.

In fact, it is more than just Wannai, the previous court was busy, there was a joy in the middle palace, and it was extremely difficult for the other concubines to see the emperor.

Later that day, the eunuch in the respect room spread the word that the emperor had turned over the sign of Wan Lai.

Rong Yue was happier than her, and when the 'Luanming Cheng'en Sedan' came in the evening, she personally escorted her into the sedan chair. The nobleman who lived with her always complained when she saw her, but no one paid attention to her for a long time, and she also took care of herself. It's less boring to say.

This day was different from the usual bedtime, the emperor was waiting in the side hall of Qianqing Palace early in the morning.

When Wan Lai was carried into the palace by the eunuch, the emperor was sitting on the warm seat, flipping through a book of war and watching with great interest.
