Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 28 She Was Always a Shadow

Sure enough, Bo Zhe was beaten thirty times, and before the birthday banquet was over, he was carried out of the palace.

The instigator, Wuzhu, achieved his goal of venting his anger, but he was still unwilling.Because what she really wanted to take revenge was not Bo Zhe, but Ling Bo, so she told Concubine Rong Ma Jia about this matter, still indignant in her words.

Concubine Rong didn't talk to her this time, she didn't say a word, instead she seriously asked her to go back to her room to copy Buddhist scriptures.

Wuzhu didn't understand very much, but she had no choice but to go back to her room honestly.

That night, Kangxi came to Concubine Rong's palace.

"The emperor hasn't come to my concubine for a long time."

Concubine Rong put a cup of Biluochun by Kangxi's hand.

Kangxi felt a little guilt in his heart, this is his favorite tea, every time he came here before, Concubine Rong would brew a pot for him.Looking back, it really has been a long time since the last time I was here.

"Wu Zhu..." He held the lid of the tea bowl and gently rubbed the edge of the tea bowl, muttering, "The temperament is quite different from before."

Concubine Rong lowered her eyelashes, and said calmly: "The daughter of the royal family is always involuntary."

Kangxi was silent for a while.

"I know, you've been blaming me."

He didn't use "zhen" but "I", which shows that he and Concubine Rong are talking as ordinary couples.

Concubine Rong's eyes turned red involuntarily.

"The concubine has never complained to the emperor."

Kangxi sighed.If you don't complain, why would you call yourself a concubine?

"Lan Qi is my most beloved daughter, but since she is the princess of the Qing Dynasty, she has her due responsibilities."

Concubine Rong finally raised her eyes and looked directly at him: "So this is the fate of the royal daughter. Lan Qi's marriage cannot be decided by herself, and Wu Zhu can't marry whoever she wants to marry either."

Kangxi was silent again.Whether it was Lan Qi or Wu Zhu, he was ashamed of their marriage.

"Anyway, it's time for Wuzhu to be disciplined. The queen mother has always said that she wants to go back to Shengjing to have a look, so let Wuzhu take care of her."

Tears were already welling up in her eyes, but Concubine Rong blinked her eyes hard and forced them back.

"The concubine can't control her anymore."

Kangxi looked up at her with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Concubine Rong avoided his sight.

"Since Lan Qi died in Galdan, no one can control Wuzhu anymore. She is so similar to Lan Qi, every time I see her, I will think of our daughter Lan Qi... I can't bear to see her." She is not happy, and even more reluctant to see her cry."

Kangxi moved his lips, and his speech became difficult.

Concubine Rong gave birth to many children, but in the end there were only two left by her side, one was the third elder brother Yinzhi, and the other was Princess Heshuo Rongxian Lanqi.Lan Qi is also the princess he likes the most among Kangxi's many children, but he married her to Galdan for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.

She didn't look back when she left, and he knew that she hated him.

What she hates is not the king of the Qing Dynasty, but her father.

After marrying Galdan, she took in an orphan girl of the Borzigit family.This orphan girl originally looked very similar to her, and she used her living habits and hobbies to train her and guide her, as if she was cultivating another self.In the end, when the orphan girl inherited all her characteristics, she sent her to Beijing to be with Kangxi and Concubine Rong.

This orphan girl is Wuzhu.

Lan Qi said that she would let Wu Zhu replace her and be filial to Er Niang.Huang Ama took away Er Niang's most intimate little padded jacket, and she sent back an identical little padded jacket for Er Niang.

The first time she saw Wuzhu, Concubine Rong cried.

Even if you want to find a daughter for Er Niang to fulfill your filial piety, why not choose one from the clan?Why did it come all the way from Galdan?

She asked the envoy sent by Lan Qi like this.

The envoy conveyed Lan Qi's words, because only if her surname was not Aixinjueluo, Wuzhu could escape the fate of being accused of marrying far away like her.

Kangxi knew Lan Qi's true intentions, she raised Wu Zhu and sent her to him and Concubine Rong, firstly, to let her fulfill her filial piety to Concubine Rong on her behalf, and secondly, to make him, a father, always remember the crimes he committed against his daughter. She wanted him to remember his daughter's resentment towards him.

Lan Qi has another intention, which he also knows.

After she married Galdan, on the one hand, her resentment towards Kangxi did not disappear, but on the other hand, she fell in love with her husband.She knew in her heart that Kangxi married her only to paralyze Galdan, and it was inevitable that the imperial court and Galdan would eventually fight.

On one side is the father, on the other side is the husband and the child, she does not want to see the scene where both sides are dying.

So she sent a substitute of herself, and she hoped to use this substitute to remind her father and move him.

Please don't forget the sacrifice your daughter made!Please don't embarrass my husband and children!
So after Wu Zhu came to Beijing, with guilt towards Lan Qi, he devoted his father's love to this girl who was almost exactly like her.He recognized her as his daughter and bestowed upon her the title of Princess Heshuo Rongxian, which was exactly the same as Lan Qi's title before she got married.

But the war with Gerdan finally broke out.

Lan Qi, who became ill from anxiety, also died of a serious illness when she had difficulty choosing between her father and her husband.

Concubine Rong fainted on the spot when she heard the news.

Since then, the obstacle in the hearts of the husband and wife has become a gap.

As for Wu Zhu, when Lan Qi was alive, she was a shadow of Lan Qi, with a face very similar to hers, reading the books Lan Qi liked to read, eating the snacks Lan Qi liked to eat, and wearing the colors Lan Qi liked.She is a copy of Lan Qi.

However, after Lan Qi's death, slowly, she began to change, and she began to reveal her true nature.Zhang Yang's surly behavior was like weeds, unknowingly it became a plague on her body.

Lan Qi's well-behaved and caring, in her body has become a flattery; in her body, Lan Qi's eccentricity has become unreasonable;She also has desires and ambitions that Lan Qi doesn't have.

Concubine Rong can't see Taishan with a blind eye. She has completely regarded Wu Zhu as Lan Qi's substitute. She loves this daughter, so she can't see her changes.

But Kangxi saw it.He began to dislike this daughter, and gradually became indifferent to this daughter.

However, when she fell in love with Bo Zhe in the paddock, and when Concubine Rong proposed to him, the royal father, for her, he inevitably thought of Lan Qi's tragic marriage, and what Lan Qi once said about being a royal daughter Helpless and bitter, thinking of the guilt and self-blame that never disappeared in his heart.

So, he agreed.

If Wu Zhu could marry a good man as Lan Qi wished, and lead a safe and happy life, it would also reduce the guilt in his heart.

But I didn't expect that things would evolve into what they are now.

This marriage was ruined by her own hands.

A shadow is always a shadow, she can't replace Lan Qi, she has failed Lan Qi, she can't be what Lan Qi wants her to be.
