Harem Empress

Chapter 9 Provocation ([-])

Concubine He already had the idea of ​​committing suicide, she held her hand heavily and said, "Sister, this is not what Yafu wants to see, she will definitely not bear to see her mother so sad in heaven."

"Yafu's health has always been poor. The imperial physician once said that she would not live to be one year old, so I always carefully protect her, lest she make any mistakes. I thought she would be fine after one year old, but she She still left me, in such a hasty way, I knelt on the ground and begged God to let her go, but the Yafu in my arms was still breathless, I hate, I hate, why didn't I protect her well, why, This is God's punishment for me, punishment." After finishing speaking, Concubine He cried loudly in my arms, gently stroked Concubine He's back and said, "Cry, cry, just cry out gone."

After crying for an unknown amount of time, Su Xin knocked on the door and brought in a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and whispered, "Your Majesty, why don't you eat something, you haven't eaten a drop of water since last night!" Concubine He leaned on the bed again and shook With his head down, he took the bird's nest porridge from Su Xin's hand, gently scooped a small spoonful, and brought it to Hefei's lips, Hefei shook her head again and pushed it away with her hands, "Sister, you are so good Eat something, if you don't eat or drink like this, the emperor will definitely feel distressed when he sees it, and if you really want to commit suicide, isn't that just in line with others' wishes."

"Wouldn't it be better if I died?" Concubine He said coldly.He put down the bowl in his hand heavily with a sound of "dang", startled Su Xin and Ta Xue who were beside him, turned his head and said: "You guys go down first!" Su Xin and Ta Xue went out of the room.

"Sister, do you still remember Qin Xuan?" When hearing the word "Qin Xuan", Concubine He trembled suddenly, turned to look at me, and asked coldly: "How do you know Qin Xuan?" of."

He picked up the bowl on the table and said, "You eat this bowl of bird's nest porridge first, and my sister will tell you later." Concubine He looked at me suspiciously as I took the bowl in my hand, and saw her scoop up a spoonful of porridge and put it in her mouth A faint smile appeared on his nervous face. Qin Xuan is actually my elder brother. He once followed the Huwei General Wen Guanglu, that is, the father of Concubine He, to fight countless enemies on the battlefield, but he died young. Once again, in the battle with the North Kingdom, I was ambushed by the enemy and killed by them. If the eldest brother is still alive, Hefei may not be able to enter the palace. I told Hefei about the past, and Hefei's tears came again. It flowed down once, held my hand and said: "You are Qin Xuan's younger sister, no wonder I have a feeling of deja vu when I saw you for the first time, you have the shadow of Qin Xuan on your body."

"Sister, you are the emperor's concubine now. You are still young. My elder brother in heaven cannot bear to see you so sad."

At this time, I only heard a loud shout from outside: "The emperor is here." Hearing that the emperor came, he stood up quickly. Your Majesty please be well, Your Majesty is auspicious."

Emperor Jingyang, who had just entered the door, didn't even look at me who was saluting aside, and just said lightly: "Get up."

Standing up and standing aside, he secretly glanced sideways at Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing carefully sat beside Hefei's bed, gently looked at the fragile and helpless woman in front of him, and gently stroked Hefei with his hands. The concubine's pale face said: "You go back first, I want to stay alone with Ruolan for a while." She turned and left the bedroom.

Coming out of Lanxiang Palace, Emperor Jingyang's gentle eyes on Hefei have been lingering in my mind. Although I just glanced secretly just now, when I think of his tender eyes, the eyes It was full of tenacity and heartache, and I suddenly felt that he was not as majestic as I imagined. He was not only an emperor but also a father, and Yafu was also his child!Having lost his youngest son, he must feel very uncomfortable at this time, and he has to pretend to be strong to comfort his concubine. He has to take care of both the former court and the harem. Being an emperor is really tiring!Suddenly I felt sympathetic to him, but also a little curious. His heart is so tolerant and unfathomable, but his love is so unmatched. This is my beloved, who slammed the door on my bedtime night And the departed beloved, so bitter!

I don’t know how long I’ve been walking, a scent of flowers comes to my nostrils, and then I come back to my senses, a sea of ​​flowers comes into view, large tracts of rhododendrons bloom in clusters, like walking in the depths of a garden, but it doesn’t feel like a hundred flowers. In the garden, there is no lotus pond in the hundred gardens. He picked up a rhododendron and played with it in his hand and asked, "Where is this place? I don't think I have been here before." Taxue lowered his head and said, "My lord, This is the Royal Garden." Oh!It turns out that this is the legendary imperial garden, the place where the concubines of the harem are most willing to come. I heard that the concubine Yuan met the emperor here by chance, and she was promoted step by step. Soar into the sky.

Forget it, there are many concubines coming and going here, it's better to go back, it's better to stay away from this place of right and wrong.Turning around and just about to leave, I saw Concubine Jin in a silver pattern embroidered dress with hundreds of butterflies and Concubine Ling in a dress of butterfly playing with narcissus walking towards this side, accompanied by a few new dignitaries, but everywhere After looking around, there was no place to hide, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked over. Fu lowered his body and saluted, "Concubine concubine pays her respects to Concubine Jin, Concubine Ling, concubine concubine, your concubine is auspicious." Concubine Jin did not speak, she raised her head proudly, Gently stroking the golden silk inlaid with rubies on the head, the double luan touched the green step, proudly said: "You are Qin Guiren!"

"It's the concubine." At this time, the concubine Ling who was standing aside said flatteringly: "She is the nobleman Qin who served the bed last night." I have become the laughing stock of the entire harem, and today I cannot avoid being sarcastic. Concubine Jin said with a slightly mocking voice: "Oh! You are that noble Qin. Last night, 'cousin' slammed the door and left, right?" scare you."

It turns out that she also placed her internal support beside Emperor Jingyang, especially when I heard the word "cousin". He saluted and said: "Long live is the Ming emperor of my dynasty. Last night, Princess Yafu passed away. Long live heard that it hurt my heart. Long live is the king of a country in my Jing Dynasty, but he is also the father of Princess Yafu. When Long live heard that Yafu After the sad news of Fu’s death, how could he be in the mood to perform Zhou Gong’s ceremony with his concubine? What I, Jingchao Renjun, did, it is a great fortune for Jingchao to have such a Mingjun, how dare concubines have any complaints."

"I didn't expect Qin Gui to be plain-looking, but this sharp mouth can speak eloquently. Get up!" Stand up slowly, still keeping his head down and not speaking.

Concubine Ling gently covered her nose with the round fan in her hand and laughed "giggling", and said with a light smile: "My sister is only right. I think our sister Qin is not only sharp-mouthed, but also very courageous." Well. We all know that Lord Long Live likes to visit the Imperial Garden when he is tired of reviewing memorials, so it’s possible that Sister Qin also wants to follow the example of Concubine Yuan and dance in the Imperial Garden.” Looking up at Concubine Jin and Concubine Ling in front of them, they thought I was Here I am imitating the concubine Yuan's Hu Meizhu, I think they are the ones who want to be charming and seduce the Lord, and they are the ones who really have ulterior motives. How can I swallow this breath of slandering me like this.
