The Second Marriage of a Passionate Monarch: Princess Chongxi

Chapter 46 Suspicion
"It was our family who decided to ask you to present flowers that day because we saw that you were from Yanjing."

"But, didn't the father-in-law mean the master?"

"What master? Miss Tong, you heard me wrong!"

Eunuch Zhang refused to admit it until death, and Wei Young couldn't find out why, so he had to go back to the car and sit down obediently, without further words.

Soon after entering the palace, it's not the first time for Wei Young to come here, nor is it the first time to meet the emperor, so she shouldn't be panicked, but being reminded by Eunuch Zhang, she became more and more uneasy.

Fortunately, the meeting place is not in the palace, the scenery in the imperial garden is pleasant, and Wei Young's high-hanging heart is gradually let go.

The emperor sat at the stone table with a tired face, as if he had waited for a long time, Wei Young hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Wei Young has met the emperor, the emperor is auspicious."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Young just stood up, but heard the Emperor say again, "Play a piece of "Mo Xin" for me!"

Compared with the Hundred Flowers Festival, his voice is more vicissitudes and burnout.

Wei Young was terrified, "The women don't dare, the Queen Mother has repeated orders, if the women dare to play "Mo Xin" again, they will have to"

"She doesn't dare!" The emperor interrupted, "With me here, no one can touch you. Now, right now!"

"Yes."

Wei Young dared not refuse, when she entered the garden, she had already caught a glimpse of Guqin.Sitting on the edge of the piano stage now, the jade fingers are nimble, playing the piano sound, familiar with the melodious rhythm, it bursts from the fingertips.

The emperor propped his forehead with one hand, he was fascinated by the sound, and gradually closed his eyes, looking intoxicated.

That was many years ago, she played the piano like this, and he listened quietly, everything was as beautiful as a dream.Thinking about it now, it was really like a dream, as long as she opened her eyes, she would disappear.

A lingering and pathetic song, even though it is nostalgic, there will be a moment when the song is finished.

Unexpectedly, the emperor chose her to enter the palace to play the qin. Wei Young's hand injury has not healed, and she dared not touch the strings for a long time. Today, after playing like this, the wound has already opened, and blood is oozing quietly.

Seeing the emperor's high spirits, Wei Young dared not disappoint, so she could only grit her teeth and endure the pain.

Fortunately, soon, the song was over.

She hid her hands in her sleeves, got up and wanted to speak, but saw that the emperor had his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep.

Eunuch Zhang is also not there, Wei Young is so embarrassed, she doesn't know whether she should stay or go.

After standing like this for a while, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, "Are you finished?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I haven't slept so peacefully for a long time." The emperor rubbed his face, although it was only for a short while, but he was really content to let him dream of her.

"If the emperor doesn't sleep well, you can soak your feet with lavender before going to bed. It's very effective."

The emperor smiled bitterly, "It's useless, these are useless to me."

"It would be great if my sister was still here. She will always have a way to make the emperor smile." Concubine Li did not know when she came in, she did not salute the emperor, but sat down beside him naturally, holding his hand comfortingly .

In this palace, there are too many taboos and too many rules, only Concubine Li dares to recall that person with the emperor and bring up that taboo.Only she is like a real wife or concubine, not the emperor's concubine.

In front of Concubine Li, the emperor seemed much more relaxed, and said softly, "You are here."

Concubine Li smiled and nodded, "How is Wei Young playing, isn't it good? Why does the concubine look unhappy seeing the emperor?"

"She plays very well, exactly the same as before." The emperor said, and couldn't help asking Wei Young, "How old is this year?"

Wei Young respectfully said, "Return to the emperor, the girl is 16 years old."

"Sixteen."

The emperor sighed inaudibly, "If there was no such thing, if she was still alive, my child should be at this age. Sometimes when I watch her play the piano, I will really think unconsciously, this is the relationship between me and her." child."

Wei Young stood on one side in an orderly manner, and really didn't know what they were talking about.How to go around and get involved in her again.

Concubine Li smiled, "The emperor has many sons and daughters, and all of them have the heart to respect you. Even Zi Wan, the most ignorant girl, is practicing piano skills diligently, trying to make her father happy!"

"Aster?"

When mentioning her, Wei Young clearly saw the emperor smiling, and he said helplessly and dotingly, "This child just has no talent, and you taught him the same thing, how could Wei Young play the charm of "Meditation", but Aster I can't learn."

Wei Young felt guilty, her "Meditation" was not taught by Concubine Li.If the emperor finds out, will they blame them for deceiving the emperor?

Concubine Li glanced at Weiyang, leaned close to the emperor's ear, and smiled like a flower, "If the emperor wants to listen to "Meditation" every day, it is not easy, let Weiyang enter the palace to play for you every day, or, simply play for her among the princes. Find a home, become the emperor's daughter-in-law, live in the palace, and want to listen to her play the piano, isn't it just a matter of time?"

"Daughter-in-law?"

The emperor was a little shocked, and Wei Young wanted to go crazy, what kind of mandarin ducks did Concubine Li mess up?
"That's right, look, Your Majesty, Wei Young and Xie are only a year old, they are in full bloom, and they are also beautiful and charming. There are many unmarried princes in the palace. The Empress devotes herself to the Buddha, and she is a little negligent, Your Majesty. Just not worrying about them at all?" Concubine Li complained a bit in her words, then looked at Wei Young and said, "This child, my concubine likes it very much, her father Tong Shen is also a well-known literati outside the Great Wall, a scholarly family, I can't humiliate those princes and princes."

Wei Young is dumbfounded, who is this Concubine Li, how can she know everything about her family?
She didn't want to marry those parasites, especially that bastard An Yunce, so she hurriedly knelt down and declined, "The civilian girl is still young, and her nature is rough and mischievous, she doesn't know how to behave, she looks forward to the emperor and the empress."

Before Wei Young could finish her sentence, Concubine Li gave her a hard look, and she was so frightened that she immediately shut up.

The emperor didn't speak, but he had his own plan in his heart.In fact, he listened to "Mu Xin" was a trivial matter, but if the prince married a woman from outside the Great Wall, it would be a good story.

The imperial capital and the outside of the Great Wall have never been united, and there are many soldiers outside the Great Wall, and it is a border. If there is no wooing and unity, how can the peace of the Imperial Capital be stabilized?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help nodding slightly, "I think what Ai Fei said is very true. The marriage between Beijing and Saipan is a big deal, Li Fei needs to worry a lot."

Concubine Li stood up, saluted, and replied solemnly, "Your Majesty, rest assured, my concubine will definitely live up to her trust."

Wei Yang has big heads, who are these people? Shouldn't you ask her first for such a big event as getting married?They are an emperor and a concubine, what does it have to do with her, they are neither her father nor her mother, so why should they decide for her? ?

"Emperor, daughter of the people"

"What reward do you want? I am happy today, so tell me!"

Wei Young was speechless, the emperor was really wrong, "The daughters of the people are not looking for rewards, but just thinking about the marriage."

"Are you dissatisfied with Zhen's decision, or dissatisfied with Li Fei's suggestion?"

The emperor frowned suddenly, with an autocratic and uncompromising attitude.

Wei Young bowed her head, she dared to say nothing, but shed all this blood, she couldn't do it in vain, "Since the emperor said rewards, forgive the girls for being bold, and now live in Yanjing, with all their money spent, I hope the emperor can give you 100 taels of silver. , please give Sanger a pot of flowers."

After finishing speaking, his face "swished" and turned red.It's not a good feeling to ask someone for money, and the object is still the monarch of a country, which is really embarrassing.

The emperor and Concubine Li looked at each other, were stunned for a long time, and then laughed "haha", which made Wei Young feel ashamed.

"Weiyang, Weiyang, you really dare to ask for a reward. I have been the emperor for so many years, and you are the first one who really asks for money."

Those officials in the past would only say that they should do things for the emperor, and they dared not ask for rewards.Unexpectedly, this girl Wei Young would really dare to ask for it.

The emperor kept laughing, "You girl, you have a cute and docile appearance. I don't think so! But you don't lose your temper. If you don't want much, I will give you 1000 taels!"

"Your Majesty, you made a mistake. Wei Young said 100 taels." Wei Young reminded timidly, the emperor's memory is really bad, could it be that he is old?

"You child, stupid!"

Concubine Li is coquettish, but she is indescribably spoiled.

The emperor happily left as if he had heard a big joke, leaving Concubine Li alone, she asked, "You heard the conversation with the emperor just now, think about it carefully, among these princes, have you ever met anyone before?" Who do you like? If you, a girl from outside the Great Wall, can marry into the palace, you will make the world envious!"

"As the empress said, Wei Young is just an outsider, lazy and rough by nature, and cannot be compared to the emperor's son."

Wei Young knelt down, sincerely.

If Concubine Li had asked her like this a few days ago, she would have said An Yunhao smugly.But now, she can be a dowry, so why sacrifice her own happiness to foolishly fight with Su Qingning?
"Now that the emperor likes you so much, it's not because you're admiring the prince, but because they all want to curry favor with you." Concubine Li softly helped Wei Young up, "In this imperial city, only the emperor can give you the best, you As long as you are liked by him, you will not be afraid of anyone, even the queen mother! Heh, this palace is not asking you to provoke the queen mother, making too many enemies in the palace is not a good thing."

"But empress, Wei Young doesn't intend to live in the palace, so she doesn't need to learn how to survive here."

Concubine Li's brows were slightly cold, "Are you so sure?"

"Yes!"

"Everything, it's too early to say!"

Concubine Li smiled charmingly, "Nothing in this world is certain, even if it is love, you can't guarantee that it will never change. It is even more impossible for you to know what will happen in the next moment, so, Wei Young, Never talk too much! Bengong and you are considered destined, and I will not marry you off casually. It is better if you have something you like, so as to save you from blaming me for the rest of your life!"

Concubine Li stroked her sleeves and wanted to leave, Wei Young hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what does that person, that person who can play "Mu Xin" have to do with the Emperor?"

"This is not what you should ask!" Li Fei's tone was cold.

"But the girl is curious, is she the emperor's lover?"

"In the palace, curiosity is the last thing to do!" Concubine Li walked away with a sullen expression on her face, "She is a disgrace to the emperor, you'd better shut up and stop asking!"
