Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 31

She has not seen the emperor for a long time.Seeing Xuan Ye again at this moment, Hesheli couldn't stop feeling filled with grief.This kind of grievance melted into his mouth, and it became a delicate voice: "The emperor—"

But before she finished speaking, Xuan Ye pushed her aside with disgust.If it wasn't for his inability to easily attack a woman, Xuan Ye really wanted to give her a few slaps.Just now he got off the morning court and went to Yikun Palace impatiently, but unexpectedly, he was in vain.Just as she was about to ask someone to inquire, she caught up with Ru Lan, the eldest court lady next to Rong Huang, who came back to rescue the soldiers, and said that Concubine Zhao was summoned by the Queen to Changchun Palace...

Xuan Ye has no other feelings for the current Hesheli except a little disgust, and Rong Huang and they are newlyweds. When Yaner was sweetly dating, when he heard the news, his brain exploded, and he rushed to the Changchun Palace with everyone in a hurry , "Coincidentally" watched this scene.Almost without thinking about it, he concluded that Hershey was just playing a show, and he didn't care about dealing with her at the moment, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help the pale-faced Ronghuang.

Almost at the moment when he saw Rong Huang's face, Xuan Ye panicked.He personally picked her up and placed her on the phoenix floor, which was not enough, suddenly bent down and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Seeing this, several servants rushed over to help, Kangxi was disturbed by their surroundings, and yelled impatiently: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and pass on to the imperial physician!"

"Yes yes yes..." Wei Xi, who was closest, replied repeatedly, and ran out while wiping his cold sweat.

Xuan Ye flusteredly wiped the remaining tears on her face with his hands, and as he wiped, the circles of his eyes suddenly turned red.For some reason, he suddenly remembered that winter—he didn't know when he was six or seven years old, and he contracted smallpox out of nowhere.At that time, he was still an unfavored prince, and few people in the palace really cared about his life except his concubine Tong.He was ignorant at that time, seeing that he was seriously ill and no one came to visit him, he thought he might just die like this, if he died, someone would shed a tear.

But at that time, Xiao Roujia bribed the nanny who guarded the fourth Ganxi Institute, and sneaked in with a lot of Xuan Ye's favorite snacks.

Roujia was timid, and when she saw Xuan Ye dying, she cried uncontrollably.Xuan Ye laughed at her and said, "Are you afraid of death? What are you doing here if you are afraid of death!"

After hearing this, Roujia's face turned pale instantly, and she shouted at him out of breath: "What are you talking about? Don't say anything unlucky!" After a few words, he began to sob again: "I...Of course I'm afraid of death! But...I'm sure I'll be afraid when I think of you staying in this dark room alone, so I'm here."

Xuan Ye was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to wipe Rou Jia's tears.But he suddenly remembered that he was still infected, so he retracted his little hand all of a sudden.The boy was thin-skinned, and he was moved in his heart, but he still said stubbornly: "You are so stupid. I have nothing, and I don't want to live anymore! God is going to take my life and go back."

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense..." Roujia stomped her feet anxiously, but couldn't think of anything to refute him for a while, she bit her lip in anxiety.After a while, when Xuan Ye was impatiently trying to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Rou Jia softly whispering in his ear: "Who said you have nothing? You, and me. I ...and you..."

Everything suddenly seemed like a dream.

How many years ago was that?Too long too long.It's been so long that he can't remember Roujia's expression at that time, whether she is soft and helpless like Ronghuang now.

Xuan Ye swore that he had already lost Rou Jia, and he would never lose Rong Huang in his arms again.So no matter who is right or wrong in today's dispute, he will unconditionally stand by Rong Huang's side.After all, the opposite of Rong Huang was just a Hesheli whom he didn't care about, and his own interests had not been touched yet.Therefore, within his ability, Xuan Ye was willing to give Rong Huang all the pampering.

"emperor?"

Rong Huang called softly.She had deliberately asked Rulan to inform her before, so she had roughly expected that the emperor would choose to defend her.But what Rong Huang never expected was that Kangxi would lose his composure in this way - for a moment Rong Huang panicked and couldn't help calling him.

"Shh..." Xuan Ye stretched out a finger and shook in front of her, "Little Phoenix, your lips are bleeding, so don't speak yet."

Rong Huang nodded obediently, and just swallowed the words that came to her lips, when Xuan Ye's eyes widened suddenly, as if thinking of something.Before Rong Huang could open his mouth to ask, Xuan Ye had already slapped the table and said: "Master Hesheli, you forced Concubine Zhao to bite her lip?"

Hesheli was pushed violently by Xuan Ye just now, and his stomach hit the head of the kang fiercely. It took a long time to recover, and with tears on his face, he said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, my concubine was wronged, that's Zhao The concubine bit it herself!"

"Well, is Concubine Zhao doing this for no reason? Do you know what it means for Phoenix to cry blood! You clearly want to kill Concubine Zhao!"

Being reminded by the emperor, Rong Huang vaguely remembered the legend.

According to legend, the phoenix is ​​a bird of wealth and immortality, which can be reborn after ashes and nirvana.But as long as the phoenix sheds blood and tears, he will lose the chance of rebirth, and can only endure the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation in the world.

So the phoenix weeping blood is a very unlucky symbol.Rong Huang was called Fenghuang since she was a child, and now her face is full of blood and tears, so it's no wonder that Kangxi would think of this particularity.

Hesheli was not stupid, and immediately understood what Kangxi meant.The emperor even compared Concubine Zhao to a phoenix, so what is she, what is she, a queen?She has already lost the power of queen, the support of her family, and the favor of her husband. Does she still want to lose her status as queen now?

Some things Hesheli can tolerate, but there are some things - such as matters related to the queen's status, Hesheli can't bear it absolutely: "Your Majesty, the concubines are the real phoenixes. Niu Hulu's name Phoenix, already has a heart of disobedience—"

Before she finished speaking, Kangxi slapped her unbearably, and said angrily: "You are not worthy to be the mother of a country at all!"

This slap not only stunned Hesheli, even Rong Huang felt a little terrified when he saw it.It can be seen that Kangxi really used his strength, beating Hesheli for a long time without recovering.

It's normal for men to teach women a lesson in this era, but Rong Huang has been influenced by "Sassy Girl" for many years, so he couldn't strongly agree with Kangxi's way of venting for a while.Just when she was hesitating whether to pretend to be the Holy Mother to persuade Xuan Ye, Hesheli suddenly raised her head and said sadly: "The concubine has been reduced to today's world, all thanks to sister Niu Hulu. But the concubine has no No complaints, because as long as I can see the emperor from a distance in the palace, the concubines are already satisfied."

It seems that Hesheli has figured it out, Kangxi is a man who is soft but not hard, and he must not be against him when dealing with him.Sure enough, as soon as Hesheli took the gentle offensive, Kangxi's vanity was greatly inflated, and his heart softened all of a sudden.He withdrew his hand and sat back beside Ronghuang, ignoring Hesheli who was beside him.

"Does it hurt?" Xuan Ye blinked vigorously, trying to drive away the soreness in his eyes. "There was a lot of blood..."

How could Rong Huang bypass Hesheli so easily, she purposely glanced at Hesheli timidly, and said softly: "The concubine does not hurt... Your Majesty, please let the concubine go back to the palace? , the concubine dare not and is not worthy to sit..."

What Rong Huang said was hypocritical, but Kangxi obviously didn't think so.The pity in his eyes grew stronger, he suddenly embraced Ronghuang, and gently kissed her lips.

The kiss was not deep, he just licked the blood on her lips lightly, extremely gentle.

After the kiss, Kangxi supported Rong Huang to stand up, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go back to the palace! Is there anything worthy or not? Changchun Palace is such a dirty place, it doesn't matter if you don't stay!"

Seeing them making out just now, all the palace people consciously turned their heads away, only Hesheli stared at Rong Huang, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.Seeing that the emperor was about to leave like this, of course she would not be reconciled, she rushed over and hugged Xuan Ye's leg and shouted: "Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged! Concubine Zhao just said that Qianyi, who is next to her servant, sent her here Yes, but Qianyi has been staying with the concubine and never went to see Concubine Zhao!"

"Go away! Do you think I will believe your words?" Kangxi snorted coldly, and was about to leave when Rong Huang suddenly shook his arm lightly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, since the empress empress said so Why don't you call Aunt Qianyi to ask?"

Hesheli's heart sank when he heard the words, and he had a bad premonition.She originally mentioned Qianyi because she wanted to stand up, but she didn't expect Concubine Zhao to ask Qianyi to come and confront her. Could it be that Qianyi has been bought by her?No, it's impossible, Qianyi is her confidant, and her family is still in her hands, so it's impossible to betray her!

Not only Hesheli felt that the big thing was not good, but Kangxi also felt that it was inappropriate, and looked at Ronghuang hesitantly: "Since this Qianyi is someone close to the queen, how can she tell the truth at this time? Sigh, little Fenghuang, you just entered the palace , you still don't understand the affairs of the palace..."

Rong Huang didn't expect her to be quite successful in pretending to be a fool, so she couldn't help but smile and said: "Then the emperor will let my concubine see it with her own eyes, and after seeing it a lot, she will understand in the future."
