Chapter 119 The Emperor's Secret

Not knowing that he was being missed by Yun Roujia, after returning to the palace, the sixth prince neither visited his residence, nor went to Qinzheng Hall to find the emperor, but went directly to Yikun Palace where his mother concubine Xi Guifei lived.

As the palace where the most favored imperial concubine lived, the interior layout should naturally be very luxurious.

However, as the noble concubine Xi who is favored not by her gorgeous appearance, but by her understanding and considerateness, coupled with Daqing's fashion of making women beautiful and elegant, the entire Yikun Palace is decorated with low-key luxury.

As the son of a favorite concubine, the sixth prince lived here until he was seven years old. Even after he was seven years old, he often came to this Yikun Palace to live a family life with his father and sister, so for Yikun He is very familiar with every decoration of the palace.

Facing the window in the south is a bright but not gaudy translucent curtain embroidered with flowers and butterflies. Under the window is a couch with auspicious and wishful patterns. On the couch are a pair of autumn-colored pillows. I like playing on it the most; there is a famille rose porcelain bottle in the corner of the collapsed wall, and a few flowers are inserted in the bottle, exuding a faint fragrance.

The flowers are also constantly changing with the changes of the seasons, but without exception, these flowers are very elegant.

Among the several calligraphy and paintings on the north wall, the one in the middle is the most powerful and magnificent. It says "It is meaningless and secluded, and it is like a group of people. It is always as deep as it is deep, and it is pure from the beginning." The entrance ceremony given by the Seventh Princess when she went to school on the first day was also his admonition to the Seventh Princess.

There is a large calligraphy table under the calligraphy and painting, with several precious inkstones on the table, forest-like brushes inserted in the pen holder and pen sea, and two large porcelain vats on the left side of the table, inside which are rolled calligraphy paper and scrolls.

This is what the emperor used to talk about poetry and painting with Concubine Xi every time he came here, and then Concubine Xi used it when she added fragrance to the red sleeves beside the emperor.

It's just that over the years, the emperor's mind is no longer on this, so these decorations are just decorations.

There are also many books on the bookshelf, ranging from the Four Books and Five Classics to local geography and anecdotes, but all of them are brand new and neat, only one "Baopuzi" has been turned over from time to time.

Although Concubine Xi was favored because of her elegance and gentleness, in fact, this deep palace woman did not need much literary talent.

In particular, the emperor himself was not from a scholarly family. He likes these poems and songs, and he also got them from horseback. But since ancient times, he has valued literature over martial arts. Therefore, efforts have been made to promote the status of literati.

But in fact, the ink in his stomach...although there is, it is not much.

Let Concubine Xi suit his literary and martial arts perfectly.

Apart from these pens, ink, paper and inkstones, there are naturally other more precious things in Concubine Xi's palace, and now these things are shrouded in clouds and mist, as if in a fairyland.

But the sixth prince didn't feel the slightest bit of happiness, but restrained the gentle smile on his face, and asked the palace daughter beside him in a low voice: "Where are the concubine mother and the emperor?"

The eldest maid serving here is Concubine Xi's confidant maid, who is three or four years older than the sixth prince. Even so, facing the handsome and compelling sixth prince, she still couldn't help but feel a little heartbeat, but she didn't show it on her face. Half-hanging her head, she replied respectfully: "Responding to the sixth prince, the empress is accompanying the emperor to ask."

asked.

A stream of light flashed quickly in the sixth prince's black eyes.

Ever since a certain emperor in history sent hundreds of boys and girls to the sea to obtain the elixir of immortality, many emperors of all dynasties have more or less pursued in this regard.

But the reason why it is an elixir is that it is almost impossible for ordinary people to touch this kind of thing, even if it is an emperor in the world, the same is true for the existence who claims to be the son of heaven.

Before Daqing, many emperors pursued alchemy and longevity, but unfortunately, none of them got the desired effect.

Before the founding of Daqing, the former emperors were fatuous, extravagant, and obsessed with alchemy. At that time, Wu Gaozu, the current emperor, was not very enthusiastic about seeking immortality, and even felt disgusted. Laughed at the former emperor's pursuit of immortality.

But as he ascended to the throne, as he became emperor for longer and longer, as his age grew and his body weakened, the current emperor gradually became obsessed with the art of alchemy and prolonging life, especially in his own life. He hadn't had a son for a long time, and the old injuries and hidden diseases of his youth slowly accumulated and relapsed, which caused his own health to deteriorate rapidly. Even the imperial doctor said that he could only keep it but not cure it, so he began to try Taoist elixirs from then on.However, the emperor did not hope to become a fairy, but to prolong his life.

Of course, the emperor felt that such a thing could not be publicized—in the final analysis, it was the fact that the former emperor was obsessed with alchemy and ignored the government, and was finally replaced by himself, which made him brood.In addition, one of the reasons why the former emperor crusaded the former emperor was that the other party's stupidity and pursuit of immortality and other ethereal things made it difficult for the courtiers to live as Taoists. Therefore, when he asked about alchemy, he specially opened up a forbidden area in the harem. Approve alchemists and summon warlocks to refine elixir day and night.

Holding a big secret in his heart for a long time, the emperor is also a human being, so he would naturally feel bored, and then he accidentally discovered that Concubine Xi - who was just a noble person at the time - seemed to be quite interested in this aspect.After quietly knocking around and observing for a while, although Mr. Xi Gui was careful, the emperor noticed the clue.

So the emperor soon had someone to confide in.

Coupled with the fact that nobleman Xi was good-looking and well-informed, the emperor ignored the sourness of the harem and promoted nobleman Xi to the position of noble concubine in just a few years.

Especially after Concubine Xi gave birth to him the sixth prince who was excellent in literature and martial arts, she doted on him to such an extent that even the queen shunned him.

However, Concubine Xi is not a person who is proud of favors, she is as light as a chrysanthemum and has a gentle personality, otherwise, she would have become one of those demon concubines who disturbed the court around the former emperor, rather than being praised by the courtiers in private Concubine Xian.

The sixth prince was inquiring about the stalls of the grand lady, only to hear a slight "click" turning, the sixth prince looked up, and saw the emperor and concubine Xi walking out in ordinary clothes.

Both of them carried a unique aura of clouds and smoke, and they went to the forbidden place where alchemists made alchemy without asking.
