The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 814 Extra Story: Xuanye II
On the day of the enthronement ceremony, I was dragged by the queen mother, the emperor's grandmother and the mother, and went through the cumbersome process step by step.

I was so tired that I almost fell asleep when the servants waited for me to change the dragon robe.

I was in a daze until the ministers knelt all over the ground and shouted 'Long live my emperor, long live, long live' to me, and then I woke up with a shiver.

From that moment on, I wasn't the same person I used to be.

Aixinjueluo Xuanye is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

That year, I was eight years old.

When I was in charge at the beginning, I couldn't even recognize the words, so how could I handle state affairs well?
At that time, Sony and Obai almost became my most trusted people.Regarding matters of civil and military matters, the two of them are divided into courts and they deal with it in an orderly manner for me.

I don't think it is difficult to be an emperor, but I get up earlier every morning, and I spend more time listening to the old officials read about things I don't understand, and the rest seems to be the same as before.

I have lived such a carefree life for two years.

I still remember one day when I got up in the morning and went to pay my respects to Er Niang's Palace, I saw her wiping away tears by herself.

She is my biological mother. After I ascended the throne, I enshrined her as the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, and honored her in the same palace as the Empress Dowager.

But she is not as happy as I imagined, she still has a sad face every day, and she doesn't often go out of the palace.

I asked her why she was crying, and she took my hand and asked me to sit beside her.

She looked at the bright sun outside the window and was silent for a long time before she said to me: "Er Niang has been harmed by your Huang Ama in her whole life. She has been completely harmed. Even though she has become a queen mother of thousands, Er My mother can no longer find the happiness of the past. Er Niang has been with you Huang Ama since she was a child, and loves you Huang Ama wholeheartedly, but your Huang Ama has almost never looked at Er Niang. You know Is my mother in so much pain?"

"You are still young, so you can't understand this. Love is always very painful."

I didn't understand at the time, but I just advised Er Niang not to think too much.

I didn't expect that that day was the last time I saw the Queen Mother.

That night, Er Niang committed suicide in her own palace.

At that time, I hugged Er Niang's cold body and wept bitterly. I kept asking myself in my heart, why did Huang Ama and Er Niang have to be trapped by love until they passed away?

Huang Ama fell in love with Dong E's family all her life, and Er Niang fell in love with Huang Ama all her life.

After all, it was a foolish mistake.

At that time, I secretly made up my mind that I never want to live such a hard life in my life. Loving someone and being loved are both extremely bitter things, and I am terribly afraid.

Therefore, I only want to wrap myself up and love myself selfishly.

That night, I seemed to grow up overnight.

In the days to come, I will no longer be indulging in pleasure, but become diligent and eager to learn.

I gradually learned how to deal with simple government affairs, gradually learned to read and write, and gradually began to understand the weight of the burden on my shoulders.

But I'm still young, and I can't do many things.

The emperor's grandmother told me that Huang Ama came to the throne at the age of six and took office at the age of 14, which is almost the same age as me.

If he can do it, I will definitely be able to do it, and I have to do better and better than him so that I can live up to his expectations of me.

It was also that year that the imperial grandmother chose a concubine for me.

I'm finally going to face the thing I don't want to face the most, but I know that as the emperor, I can't help myself in the matter of marriage.

Even if I can have no wife, but in this world of Qing Dynasty, I cannot have no offspring.

The girls chosen by the imperial grandmother for me are all from excellent backgrounds.

I still remember that day when the court came down, the emperor's grandmother was waiting for me in Qianqing Palace.She ordered Su Mala to take many picture scrolls and spread them out in front of me. She asked me who I like.

I flipped through a few volumes at random, and the more I read, the more frightened I became, my mind was filled with the images of Huang Ama and Erniang before they died.

I was terrified, I pushed the scroll on the ground, and got angry with the imperial grandmother for the first time.

But the emperor's grandmother didn't know what was going on in my heart. She had gone through several dynasties and witnessed with her own eyes how the ancestors conquered the country and how the throne was passed on to me.

In her eyes, my thoughts are nothing at all.

She waited for two days, and took the picture scroll to force me.

In desperation, I had no choice but to randomly choose a few portraits and throw them to her.

She was not very satisfied with the person I chose, so she deliberately picked out two people from the pile of scrolls, pointed to me one by one and said: "This is Sonny's granddaughter, and this is Ye Bilong's eldest daughter. The two of them You have made great contributions in assisting the government in the former dynasty, and the former court and the rear palace are connected as one, so your grandson also has to take care of these old ministers who work hard to help you, don't they?"

I didn't argue with her. Since childhood, my grandmother has been the elder who loves me the most. The person she chooses will definitely not be wrong.

In a few days it will be the day of my big wedding, and the Ministry of Rituals has already drawn up the position of the beautiful girl in the palace early in the morning.

Everyone in the palace knows who is the queen and who is the concubine, but I don't know.

On the day of our wedding, I entered the Kunning Palace, and worshiped heaven and earth with a woman with a phoenix crown and a xipa covering her head. She was my wife.

The funny thing is, I haven't even seen what she looks like when she was born.

It was night, and I stayed in Kunning Palace.I lifted her happy handkerchief, reflected the candlelight, and saw my queen clearly for the first time.

She was not outstanding in appearance, she was extremely ashamed when she saw me, she blushed and called me the emperor.

At that time, we were still young, even if there were slaves in the palace who taught us how to have intercourse, they couldn't do it because of nervousness.

Therefore, that night, even though I and Shuyu had the name of husband and wife, they were not actually husband and wife.

She shyly looked at Zhen's eyes, and her appearance when she was calling the Emperor Jiao Didi, very much like the former imperial concubine Dong E.

For a moment, such tenderness made my hair stand on end.

Will I become like Huang Ama?Falling into it because of a woman, unable to extricate himself, and even risking his own life, just to fulfill the four characters of 'deep affection and righteousness'?

I deliberately wanted to alienate her, so I stayed in Kunning Palace for a few days, and then stopped looking for her.

I know that Ye Bilong's eldest daughter also entered the palace. She was born in a very high family, and the emperor's grandmother bestowed on her the concubine title alone.

When the emperor's grandmother saw that I stayed at Shuyu's place every day, she thought that Shuyu was very suitable for me, so that I ignored Yide.

So she called me here, and told me a lot of truth, nothing more than asking me to go and see Yide too.

I have to face this day, so I mustered up the courage and went.

The first time I saw Yide, my eyes fell on her face, and I couldn't bear to look away.

She is different from Shuyu, she is very beautiful.

Although she is also shy, I see her frown, frown, joy and smile, and I don't feel so scared anymore.

What I can't do with Shuyu, I can do with her.

Only then did I realize that it was not because I had a demon in my heart that I alienated Shuyu.

It's because she doesn't suit me, she's not the one I love.

When I get along with Yide, even if I am tired for a day, my body can relax instantly.

It seems that he can also understand how Huang Ama felt when he was facing the imperial concubine Dong E.

It turns out that the matter of love is not as painful and annoying as I thought.
