Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 51

The temperature in Shengchun is not considered cold, and the night wind blows gently, blowing a field of apricot blossoms one after another.Those withered petals didn't fly high, they just spun around on the ground, dancing around the front yard of the side hall where the two of them were.

Chu Yan stood on tiptoe cooperatively, responded to him tenderly, and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, as if giving herself to him without any scruples.

Complete trust, no reservations.

Gu Qi tasted the smell of rouge on her lips, with a faint floral fragrance and a slight bitterness, just like the feeling this quiet spring day brings to people.

He kissed her so that her cheeks were bright red, her eyes were watery, and finally she slightly left her red lips, and reached out to caress her cheeks.

"Have you had a good day?"

Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and said honestly, "I'm too slow, and when ordering operas, I ordered the wrong one, which angered Concubine Mu."

Gu Qi was startled, "What's going on?"

Chu Yan then told him everything that happened, and finally lowered her head to look at her own shadow, and said in a low voice, "This is the first time I participated in this kind of activity, except for a big mistake, and I have caused trouble for Your Highness..."

Gu Qi knew well that she was not such an obedient person, and now he was just pretending to be pitiful and coquettish to admit his mistake, so he lifted her chin and squinted at her, "Do you want to pretend to be pitiful and get away with it?"

Chu Yan sighed at him, "It's not all my fault, Concubine Mu stepped on the empress's mother's family to ascend to the throne, she was the one who was called a temptress, and she was the one who caused the emperor to disappoint his poor wife." Well, she was the one who fought openly and secretly with the empress to seize power. Now I just ordered an opera at random, and she took the right seat and took her anger out on me, is that fair?"

Gu Qi didn't have much contact with the empress, especially after the emperor left the palace, the empress simply stayed behind closed doors, burning incense and praying to Buddha all day long, and spending the rest of her life peacefully, Gu Qi rarely saw her a few times throughout the year.

But compared to the tolerant and magnanimous queen, he would definitely not like the fierce Concubine Mu more.

After all, Concubine Mu Gui had accumulated prestige for a long time, apart from the queen, which concubine was not respectful in front of her?Zhao Ronghua also suffered from her, more than once or twice. Although Gu Qi didn't have a good relationship with his mother, he would never like someone who bullied his mother.

He also didn't feel that Chu Yan made a big mistake in this matter, at most it was not thoughtful enough and inappropriate.

But he didn't say any comforting words. Instead, he looked a little colder, looked at Chu Yan silently for a while, and then said, "In the palace, who wants to be superior, which one is not like this? When Concubine Mu came to the throne, she seized Because of the empress's natal family, the father was forced by the situation and was unwilling to change the establishment of the middle palace, so he compromised."

He asked Chu Yan back, "Have you ever thought about how you are superior in the eyes of others?"

Chu Yan didn't speak.

She naturally knew that in the eyes of others, her method of ascending to power was exactly the same as Concubine Mu's, but the reason for coercing the prince was different from the reason why the Mu family coerced the emperor that day.

The courtiers and the emperor have never simply obeyed and obeyed orders, and are always in a state of constantly taking what they need and using each other.

The harem is a place where courtiers try their best to stuff their own people in.

The topic is a little heavy here.

Chu Yan just kept her eyes on Gu Qi's skirt, and murmured calmly, "What does it matter in the eyes of others? At least I will work harder than her, and the ending will be different from hers."

Gu Qi stared at her, "What is the ending you want?"

Only then did Chu Yan slowly raise her head to look at him, her eyes reflected his appearance very clearly.

In the hazy moonlight, Gu Qi heard her say firmly and clearly, "Whether Your Highness is today's prince or tomorrow's emperor, I hope that I can always stand beside His Highness like today, and be a unique moon."

She was so unabashed about the ending she wanted, as if she would confess whenever he asked.

What kind of trust and bravery is this?

Gu Qi was silent for a moment before looking up at the silent night sky, "But you know, there are not only the moon in the night sky, but also many stars. It's just that the moonlight is too bright to cover up their existence , but it is undeniable that they may never disappear, and may become brighter than the moon on certain days."

Just like Chu Yan is not the only crown princess in this palace, even if she is unique today, who knows how many women will step into the harem one by one in the future?

Gu Qi is the crown prince and the future emperor, not to mention that there has never been an emperor with only one central palace in the history of the Xuan Dynasty, and it is impossible for Gu Qi to never accept concubines in terms of the emperor's skills alone.

To put it succinctly, the art of the emperor is nothing more than two words: balance.

The balance between the people and politics, the balance between the height of the temple and the distance between the rivers and lakes, the balance between civil and military officials above the court, and the balance between the concubines in the harem.

No matter whether it is above the court or in the harem, it is impossible to have a unique situation. If you want to pay attention to balance, there must be multiple forces restricting each other, and the king is the one who can't figure it out. Give you glory, then you will have supreme glory; and if he wants to suppress your power, you can only submit and surrender.

Chu Yan knew that Gu Qi's greatest wish since he was a child was to become an emperor who could act alone, and he would never give up this long-cherished wish just for a woman.

So his harem will one day be like the night sky tonight, where the stars and the moon coexist, and both are indispensable.

He will have many concubines from different forces, representing different noble families.

At that time, the harem was the place where courtiers gained power, but it was also a place where he could use it to influence the government and change the situation in the court.

She smiled, and casually looked up at the stars in the misty night that had been robbed of their brilliance by the bright moonlight.

"So what? Even if it is occasionally covered by stars, it is the moon that catches the eye in the end. There can be countless stars, but there is only one moon. No matter how dim it becomes in a certain period of time, In the end, it will still shine brightly."

In such a late night, she smiled confidently and calmly at Gu Qi, "Your Highness, I only want to be that moon."

Gu Qi heard his own heavy heartbeat, which spread all the way through the seemingly boundless light in her eyes, scalding his entire chest.

She is so ambitious, so determined.

Smiling as firmly as that day, she said to him, "Your Highness is as proud as a green bamboo, and his wish will surely come true in the future, so Chu Yan will first wish His Royal Highness the grand plan and his wish will come true."

This brave and seemingly fearless girl always seemed to give him infinite power from it, and then he couldn't help believing what she believed, believing what he had always expected.

Gu Qi suddenly realized that such a Chu Yan seemed to have a stronger heart than himself, but he seemed small and fragile in front of her.

He suddenly pushed Chu Yan to the gate of the side hall, and then kissed her again, this time was much stronger than the previous kiss, full of unpredictable power.

Chu Yan responded to him not to be outdone, biting each other's lips in an astonishingly fanatical gesture like him, and refused to show weakness first until she was out of breath.

Gu Qi stretched out his hand and pushed open the door on the left, pushed Chu Yan into the door slightly roughly, closed the door again, pressed her against the side cabinet again, and kissed her heavily.

Both of them heard the clashing sound of their teeth, their mouths hurt slightly, and then there seemed to be a bloody smell, and it was unknown who bit their lips.

There was fire in Gu Qi's eyes, as if the power deep in his heart had been stimulated. He was eager to grow up, and he desperately hoped that one day he would be really strong enough to walk firmly and clearly without relying on her trust and encouragement. go down.

He needs her to look up to, needs her to rely on.

And Chu Yan also seemed to be infected by his emotions, so she responded to him recklessly, without any weakness.

But at the moment when his hands touched her clothes for the last time, he suddenly hesitated.

Chu Yan's eyes were terribly bright, looking at him with a sense of water, slightly hazy.

Gu Qi seemed to be struggling fiercely, looking at her slightly messy clothes and beautiful undulating curves, he remembered the lingering moment last time in his mind.

At that time, she was full of coquettishness, weak and lovely, and he still remembered how happy he was, as if the universe had disappeared.

A few short seconds seemed like a century. In the end, he didn't pull off her clothes, but suddenly turned over and lay flat beside her.

The weight on Chu Yan's body suddenly disappeared, her face was stunned for a moment, then she turned her head and looked at Gu Qi's side face by the moonlight outside the window.

His eyelashes were trembling slightly, as if resisting such a great temptation.

... But in the end, he didn't take half a step.

Gu Qi just looked straight at the bedcover above his head, the complicated patterns seemed to be able to effectively divert his attention, so that he would not be too focused on a certain place with a strong sense of presence.

He didn't even dare to turn his head to meet those beautiful and dazzling eyes like peach blossoms.

Because he was afraid that he couldn't help but want her, over and over again, like an insatiable beast.

After a long time, he slowly sat up, ignoring the abnormality of her body, turned to take off her shoes and socks clumsily, and then pulled the brocade quilt to cover her up.

"I'm tired today, go to bed early."

He didn't look her in the eyes, just said something softly, then touched her cheek, turned and walked out the door.

Received a letter from Xijiang today, all the battles are almost over, the rebels in Xijiang have been repelled to [-] miles outside the border, and their vitality has been severely injured, and they have no power to fight back.

He knew that when the army returned to the capital, the wedding between him and the princess should be held, and one mistake was enough, he would not make a second mistake before then.

On the day of the wedding, she will completely belong to him.

As the crown prince, Gu Qi's thoughts naturally cannot be compared with Chu Yan's. No matter how you say it, he is still an ancient man, and his old ideas have not changed.

XXOO before marriage, our conservative Crown Prince will still feel guilty, so we have no choice but to hold back for now, get ready to go, hide our strengths and bide our time, so that we can make good use of it in the near future and enjoy the joy of the spring night.
