Rebirth after waste

Chapter 34

It's Haishi, but there are still people coming and going in Cheng'an Hall.Two gold-plated multi-branch lamps are placed on both sides of the bedroom, and dozens of candles on them illuminate the room as if it were daytime.

The emperor sat by the window, squinting his eyes slightly, wondering what he was thinking.A younger Gong'e couldn't control her eyes, seeing that he hadn't opened her eyes, she boldly peeked at him.In the candlelight, the emperor's already outstanding facial features seemed to be coated with a layer of soft light. His eyebrows were black and high, his nose was straight and straight, and his lips were thin, which was an unforgettable appearance.

Everyone in the palace of the Linqing Dynasty knew that the first emperor loved people with outstanding appearance, whether it was for concubines or children.Because of this face, the emperor has received countless praises since he was a child, and the noble ladies of Yudu are also flocking to him, admiring him.Since the emperor was 15 years old, whenever he travels, he will attract girls from Yudu to watch, and the excitement is no less than that of a driver.His Majesty also laughed and praised in front of everyone: "Da Lang is extraordinary, he is a fairy!"

However, not everyone buys his account.It is said that back then, the first emperor had intended to appoint Jin Yang Wengzhu, the daughter of the eldest princess Ningping, as the crown prince, but the eldest princess declined.

Afterwards, the queen asked in a joking tone, "Ah Xun is your sister's student, so it's possible that you don't like him? You don't even want to marry your daughter."

Princess Ningping just smiled at that time, "My daughter is simple-minded, and she can't stay in a place like the harem." Eyes, those lips, everywhere reveals a look of indifference, which is definitely not a good destination for a woman."

This is considered very rude, if it weren't for the close personal relationship between the Elder Master and the Empress, I am afraid that he would not have said it.

Somehow, this comment got out later, and all the noble ladies in Yudu heard about it. Combined with the innumerable romantic affairs of His Highness the Crown Prince, I couldn't help sighing, the eldest princess really has a vicious vision!
However, no matter how much praise or criticism, it is a thing of the past.The young man who was once talked about by people has now become the young king of this country.The girl who once used rouge to write his name on the silk quietly burned it, because those two words had become the biggest taboo in the world.

If you mention it, you will be convicted, and you must lack a pen.

Gong'e looked at the king sitting in the light and shadow, wearing black clothes and jade crowns, as if sitting in a bright moon, like an immortal on Yaotai.

There was a slight sound beside her, she turned her head, only to see Niang Jieyu supported by Miss Bai Yu, standing there without saying a word.Her eyes have been staring at the emperor by the window, and there are struggling pains and inexplicable infatuation inside.

The emperor opened his eyes, and met Zhen Jieyu with calm eyes.After a while, he smiled softly and said lazily, "Why did you get up? Don't lie down on the couch, you want to make me worry."

Zhang Xian, the imperial physician of the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, came to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Lady Jieyu was just a little frightened, and there is nothing serious about it."

Zhen Jieyu smiled, "Your Majesty, you heard that too, my concubine is fine."

The emperor laughed lowly, "So, it's better for me to pick it up. The emperor sent me to the Yulin camp to practice in the past. It seems that there is no mistake in sending me."

The emperor got up and walked slowly in front of her, "Although there is nothing serious, I think you should take care of her."

Zhen Jieyu nodded, "No."

Physician Zhang withdrew.Zhen Jieyu raised her eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "After tossing and tossing for so long, is Your Majesty hungry? Why don't you ask the cook to cook something for you?"

The emperor lowered his eyelids when he heard the words, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "No, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Zhen Jieyu didn't expect him to say that at all, and she couldn't control the change of expression in an instant.After a full five breaths of effort, she said: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

This is presumptuous, not to mention the expression on her face is so unnatural.However, the emperor only glanced at her, and his tone was still gentle: "You fell off the horse, why don't you go and find out the reason? My good third brother is still waiting in the Dazheng Palace. We have something to talk tonight."

She knew that such an explanation was already the emperor's limit, and if she continued to ask, he would only dislike him, so she forced herself to remain silent.

The emperor no longer looked at her, turned and left, and Hulala's followers followed closely behind him.She stood there, looking at his back surrounded by the crowd, she felt that she had returned to four years ago for a moment.

At that time, she was like this, she could only watch him from a distance.Whether it is hunting or traveling, in the past, everyone was guarding him, and he was a natural master in it.

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Bai Yu said with concern, "Your Majesty, you've been frightened, you should rest earlier."

Zhen Jieyu looked at the direction he left, and after a long time said softly: "He left."

Bai Yu naturally understood what she meant, and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty has business to deal with, and it's for your majesty's sake."

She shook her head: "No, in the past, he would have stayed." Her voice dropped, "In the past, he would not have left me alone at this time."

He said so on the lips, but he knew clearly in his heart that even in the past, he never really loved her.But at that time, no matter what, he was still willing to spoil her, no matter what, she was still the woman he liked the most in the palace.

But now...

She recalled that a moment ago, when he said he was going to leave, her first thought was, is he going to Gu Yunxian's place?

But after hearing that it wasn't, she was actually greatly relieved.

This kind of pathetic fear reminded her of the past, when she was married as a woman, she thought that there was no hope of getting along with Tan Lang for the rest of her life, so she woke up crying from her dreams for countless nights.

Gu Yunxian didn't sleep well that night, and woke up several times after tossing and turning.In the middle of the night, she woke up from the dream again, and simply put on her clothes and got out of bed to blow the air.

The moon is very bright tonight, hanging in the air like a jade plate, exuding a bright brilliance.Gu Yunxian stood by the window, looking at the bright moon, thinking that only half a year ago, she had accompanied the queen mother to enjoy the moon together.There is a lotus pond behind the Changle Palace. They sat by the pond, talking and laughing while throwing fish food into it, watching the golden carp scrambling to get together.Liu Shanggong sometimes makes fragrant lotus seed porridge, which is served in a small blue bowl, and she holds it in the palm of her hand, as if holding a lotus leaf.

That kind of happiness and leisure was the only good time she had this year.

Thinking about it now, it's like a dream.

"The bright moon is bright, and I followed the trail. I never saw Chang'e in the moon, but I found Diaochan worshiping the moon."

The sudden sound made her almost cry out in fright, and she turned her head quickly, only to see the emperor standing on one side, watching her indifferently.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty." She had lingering fears in her heart, "Your Majesty is here, how can you not know how to meet your concubines, and stay in a dark place like this..."

She held back the latter words.He came without making a sound, hiding there to frighten people, what a lunatic.

As if knowing her slander, the emperor smiled slightly, "I just came here, I knew you must be asleep, so I didn't call you, so as not to disturb your sweet dreams."

Knowing that she was asleep, she ran over.This person is really crazy, so he won't make others feel better.

After thinking about it, she sensibly avoided this topic, "Your Majesty, something happened at the racecourse today, and sister Zhen was shocked. How are you doing now?"

Unexpectedly, she would ask this in person, the emperor was a little surprised, "She? It's fine." He casually glanced at her, "You care about her very much. If you don't ask me when you see me, ask her first."

Gu Yunxian didn't understand what he meant and didn't reply.

Seeing her tepid look, the emperor felt irritable for no reason, as if there was an unknown fire running around, but he didn't know why.

Gu Yunxian saw that his expression was getting worse and worse. Although he was puzzled, he still felt that he could not continue to remain silent, so he said casually: "Your Majesty came here at night, but what happened?"

It took a long time to wait for his answer.She looked at him, but saw that under the white moonlight, the face she had seen for five years was still surprisingly handsome, but there was a trace of trance in the corners of her eyes and brows, as if she had fallen into boundless thoughts.

"I went to see my third brother tonight." He said softly, "He kept saying that he was wronged, but the more he said that, the more loopholes there would be."

He sat down on a cushion on one side, and Gu Yunxian was next to him.The two leaned together, just snuggling in the cold night.

"In fact, in the past two years, I have been able to feel that he has resentment towards me. For the sake of brotherhood, I am too lazy to bother with him, so I simply sent him far away to the fief. Presenting a BMW to me, I thought he had figured it out. But who knows..." He laughed at himself, "He actually wanted to take my life."

It turned out to be like this.He thought that presenting the horse was King Ning's favor, that's why he saved face so much, and picked a special time to take them to try the horse together.Unexpectedly, it was such a result.

"Ning Wang, why do you hate His Majesty?"

The emperor looked at the smooth mirror-like gold brick floor with a calm expression, "It's nothing more than an old incident, and it's no secret in the palace. His mother, my concubine, Jing Chongyi, was bestowed to death by the queen mother. "

Gu Yunxian's expression changed slightly.

"Are you surprised?"

No, she wasn't surprised at all.She has always known that her aunt's killing was decisive.She was surprised only because she wanted to make him feel that she doesn't like these bloody killings now.

She lowered her voice, "Ah Yun feels that my aunt is a kind person. If she kills someone, it must be that the other party has committed some unforgivable crime."

The emperor looked at her, "You're right. It's true that Jing Chong and Yi Kuang rebelled first, and the queen mother was not at fault." After a pause, "King Ning can't understand this, he always feels that the queen mother has failed him, I have failed him. What's more, when the father and king divided the kings, the fief he got was the worst, and he felt that it was me and the queen mother who couldn't tolerate him."

"King Ning is too narrow-minded, and it was a waste of all the painstaking efforts of His Majesty and the Queen Mother. This is something he can't think about, and he is no different from others." Gu Yunxian said, "This time he committed such a serious crime, what is His Majesty going to do?" ?”

The emperor seemed to be feeling very tired. He leaned his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes, "What can I do? He is my brother, and we are both descendants of Emperor Taizu. I can't take his life. "

Gu Yunxian didn't know what to say, so he could only stretch out his arms and hug this man who was a bit unusual tonight.

He felt her soft arms, smelled the fragrance of her body, and felt inexplicably peaceful in his heart.

He didn't intend to come over tonight, but when King Ning couldn't argue with anything, and finally knelt down in front of him, confessing his mistakes and begging his forgiveness, he just felt tired for a while.

Knowing that he wanted to harm him, he was not so surprised.This is not the first time this has happened.From childhood to adulthood, he did not know how many assassinations he encountered.Those swords came from his concubine, his younger brother, and the treacherous and unpredictable forces behind them.

The queen mother told him that he was the prince and the future king of this country, and he should not trust anyone easily in this life.He didn't believe it.He felt that the queen mother had been in the harem for a long time, and she thought everything was too bad.

Young and reckless, he paid the price in the end.
