long live the queen

Chapter 69

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you should be more careful, the wind is chilly, what should you do if you get caught in the wind and cold! The old slave can't afford it, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please run slowly, Your Majesty!"

The old eunuch in his forties led a large group of palace people to chase after the little boy in bright yellow clothes, and all the adults were running out of breath.

The little boy suddenly stopped and turned around. He squinted his eyes for a while, and recognized that it was Wu Youde, the chief eunuch and admiral.He frowned subconsciously, and suddenly felt that he hated the old eunuch, but when he thought about it carefully, he could only think of the picture of Wu Youde playing with him. In those memories, he had a lot of fun, so why would he hate it? What about Wu Youde?
"Your Majesty, you can be considered to have stopped, but you ran away to death, this old slave!" Wu Youde finally caught up with the little emperor, heaved a long sigh, and turned back to ask the palace people to put on the little emperor's cloak.

The little emperor no longer thought about the strange feeling he had towards Wu Youde before, reluctantly put on the obstructive cloak, and said angrily, "I'm not cold at all!"

"Your majesty, it's true that you don't feel cold, but the day is changing so fast, you have to be careful of the dragon body." Wu Youde said naggingly, "Have you forgotten? Last year, when you first ascended the throne, the emperor , Didn’t you also catch a cold? It was so dangerous at that time, but this old slave was terrified. Your Majesty, this old slave has no other wishes. I just hope that you will grow up in peace, the Emperor, and revitalize my beam. You are worthy of the emperor, you are worthy of the ancestors!"

"You are so wordy!" The little emperor frowned impatiently, turned around and ran forward again.

Wu Youde followed quickly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please slow down! Don't fall!"

The little emperor suddenly stopped, and Wu Youde almost ran into him, he hurriedly stabilized his body and said, "Oh my little ancestor, you scared the old slave to death when you stopped suddenly..."

Wu Youde was about to continue complaining, when he saw the little emperor looking in one direction, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was looking at.He followed the little emperor's line of sight, but only saw the empty rockery.

He couldn't help frowning and said strangely: "Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"

The little emperor frowned delicately, pointed in one direction and said, "Have you seen a woman? It seems to be a woman in white. Her black hair is long and straight, and she looks very good-looking."

Wu Youde followed his directions and looked over, but he still didn't see anything after looking for a long time, so he told the people around him: "Go over and have a look, hurry up!"

The palace people almost overturned the rockery, but they still couldn't find the woman in white that the little emperor was talking about.

"Your Majesty, maybe your eyes are dazzled..." Wu Youde wiped the cold sweat off his face. He vaguely remembered that a concubine of the former Emperor who liked white clothes died by drowning near this rockery. Could it be...

"I didn't have a blind eye! I just saw a woman in white, she was so beautiful, like a fairy in the sky!" The little emperor hated Wu Youde for not believing what he said, and said angrily.

To Wu Youde's ears, the so-called fairies in the sky mean that their feet don't touch the ground, and their figure is erratic. He broke out in a cold sweat, ignored the little emperor's struggle, and hurriedly took him away from here.

Later, rituals were held in the palace for several days.

On the tenth birthday of the little emperor, he gave amnesty to the world.That day, he was hosting a banquet for the officials in the Fengtian Hall. His small figure was oppressed by the heavy crown, and he seemed to fall down at any moment. He looked at Sun Chengji with a look of grievance on his face.That was the chief assistant of the cabinet and Minister Gu Ming, the person he feared most.Because Wu Youde told him that if he made Sun Chengji unhappy, Sun Chengji could make him an emperor at any time.Without the throne, he has nothing to eat or wear, and he can't even go out of his room. He suffers from hunger and cold, it's really miserable.

The little emperor was frightened by Wu Youde's words, every time he saw Sun Chengji, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, wishing to find a place to hide.This heavy crown made him uncomfortable, he wanted to take them off and throw them away, but Wu Youde said that if he ruined the banquet, he might make Sun Chengji angry.His heart was just as wronged as his face—even though today was his birthday, why did he have to suffer this?

Amid all the grievances, the little emperor suddenly looked to his side.

Empty.

That is the seat that his future queen should sit in, and there is currently no one.He didn't quite know what the empress meant, nor did he have any expectations.He clenched the handle of the dragon chair so tightly that the veins on his hands burst out.This is his throne, without the throne, he is nothing, he cannot lose this throne.

"Let someone like you be the emperor, it's no wonder Daliang doesn't perish!"

Suddenly a female voice scolded him, and the little emperor turned his head suddenly, but a light seemed to flash in front of his eyes. A slim figure loomed in his hazy vision, but the scolding came into his mind like a snake.

She said he was not worthy to be emperor.

No, I am the emperor of this beam, I am the emperor, no one can sit here except me!
The little emperor screamed in his heart, eager and wronged, he was almost sure that this figure was the woman in white that he saw by the rockery that time.At that time, he was sure that he had seen it, but Wu Youde asked him not to mention it again in the future with a face of fear. He didn't understand why, so he could only bury it in his heart and never mention it again.

But today, he saw her again.And she, this woman whom he seemed to have a crush on, actually scolded him.What's even more strange is that he wasn't angry at all, only unwilling and full of grievances.

Don't say that to me, don't say that to me!I can be a good emperor, you trust me, trust me, Yun...

He suddenly stopped, she... who is she?what?What was the title he blurted out?
When the little emperor was 12 years old.

Under the management of the cabinet headed by Sun Chengji, Daliang is in order.The little emperor studied under Sun Chengji's supervision and was repeatedly reprimanded.Among Sun Chengji's students were many geniuses, and the little emperor was able to become the emperor because of his good reincarnation, and he really didn't have any talent in the way of learning, so he was naturally completely inferior to Sun Chengji's students.

The long-term inferiority complex, fear and despair finally turned into practical actions. The little emperor was no longer willing to listen to Sun Chengji's lectures, but locked himself in the Qianqing Palace and refused anyone to enter.Although Sun Chengji is the chief assistant of the cabinet, he is a foreign minister after all, and he cannot enter the harem without being summoned.The little emperor took advantage of this and successfully got rid of Sun Chengji's nagging and reprimanding.

Without Sun Chengji's persecution, it seems that even the air has become fresh.The heavy pressure on his body in the past disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the little emperor was so happy that he almost wanted to announce it to the world.He started to play in various ways, and with Wu Youde's company, time always passed so happily.

What reading, what Mingjun, let them go to hell!He is the emperor, what have those things to do with him?Doesn't Sun Chengji like to be in charge?Let Sun Chengji take care of it!As long as his throne is still there, Sun Chengji can take care of those things as he likes, he doesn't care!
But Wu Youde said that if he didn't pay attention to the affairs of the previous dynasty, he would be in bad luck sooner or later.The little emperor was a little scared, so he listened to Wu Youde's suggestion and made Wu Youde's apprentice the governor of the East Factory.He thought, with Wu Youde helping him watch over the former dynasty, he would be the first to know when those people wanted to rebel.

The little emperor trusts Wu Youde who grew up with him, and spends most of his time playing, and rarely pays attention to the previous court—he knows that if something happens, Wu Youde will come to report to him.He wasn't paying attention to Wu Youde, so he naturally didn't realize that after he really came to power, his most trustworthy childhood playmate had gradually changed.The power of power can sometimes trump time.

With Wu Youde's "help", the little emperor got rid of Sun Chengji's entanglement smoothly, and An Anxin became a faint king who didn't hear anything outside the window.Playing every day is naturally much more interesting than studying diligently, and the days of drunkenness and dreams are the happiest for him.

However, amidst that happiness, he seemed to feel a little bit of uneasiness.It's just singing and dancing, beauty comes first, he didn't think much about it, it was just an illusion.

The little emperor gradually grew up. At that time, his favorite concubine Zhuang wanted to be the queen. In his opinion, it didn't matter who the queen was. If the concubine Zhuang wanted to be the queen, he let her be.But this matter was obstructed by Sun Chengji.

Sun Chengji said that with Concubine Zhuang's virtue, talent and character, it is really difficult to be the mother of a country.The little emperor didn't have the determination to let Concubine Zhuang become emperor. He still remembered the thoughts Wu Youde instilled in him when he was a child, and he had natural fear and resentment towards Sun Chengji, so he didn't dare to quarrel with Sun Chengji.Therefore, after a period of time, under the strong request of Concubine Zhuang, he would have no choice but to mention this matter to Sun Chengji again, and then Sun Chengji would beat him back mercilessly.Then, this back and forth tug of war almost became a habit.

When the little emperor was 17 years old, Wu Youde fell in love with leading soldiers to fight, and believed that he had the ability to lead soldiers to victory.At that time, when the Great Song Dynasty came to attack, Wu Youde was extremely excited, and spent many days persuading the little emperor to march in person, exaggerating his great honor after victory.

The little emperor was soon moved, and regardless of the objections of his ministers, he resolutely embarked on the road of no return by the imperial conquest.

What can two people lead troops with who have never received formal military education and have almost zero military literacy?No matter how many people they lead, they are as vulnerable as a pile of loose sand in front of the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Song Dynasty.

Wu Youde, who was once loyal to himself, took the lead in fleeing at the moment of defeat in the war, leaving the little emperor in the middle of the chaotic battlefield.But Wu Youde couldn't run far, and was hacked to death under the butcher knife of the Song army.

The little emperor was flustered and his heart was beating wildly. He changed into the servant's clothes and fled in a hurry under the guard of the guards.The guards around him died one after another under the long swords of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. He was almost numb from running, thinking that this was the most terrifying dream.

Then, he was chased into the woods, and the two Song soldiers didn't know his true identity, so they grinned grinningly and raised their knives to kill him.

Even though it was the most dangerous moment, the little emperor didn't seem to panic at all.He knows, he'll be fine, because... because of what?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he knew it, because at this moment, his fairy sister, who fell from the sky, saved him!

He suddenly looked up into the sky, his face full of joy.

The two Da Song soldiers laughed like they were looking at a fool, and one of them laughed: "Are you scared stupid by us? Oh my God, do you think someone will come to save you from the sky? Fool!"

The other grinned grimly, echoed his companion's words, and then raised his long knife.

The little emperor turned a deaf ear and just stared at the sky. He knew that his fairy sister would definitely come to save him!

The light of the saber flashed, and the little emperor felt a pain in his neck, and his body collapsed.

The two Song soldiers squatted down and groped the little emperor, while the little emperor, who was only breathless, still stubbornly looked at the sky, and the look in his eyes gradually disappeared.

No, no... why is that?Where is his fairy sister?
why!
"call……"

Yang Yi woke up from the dream, sat up straight suddenly, covered with cold sweat from steamed buns, subconsciously looked to the side.

Under the brocade quilt with auspicious cloud patterns, a woman with loose black hair was sleeping soundly, with a peaceful expression.

His tense expression relaxed, and he pressed his right hand to his chest, soothing his beating heart.

It was a dream, a wild and uninhibited nightmare. On that day, his fairy sister did appear and saved his life, his whole life.

He leaned over and gently pressed a kiss on her forehead, the corners of his mouth curved with fear and joy.

Yun Qing, you are still here.

very nice.
