Chapter 43: The Queen's Memories
When the queen heard that the emperor was so angry that she vomited blood, she loved her son, for fear that the emperor would punish her child. Hearing the news, she also rushed over as soon as possible, and came with her, as well as Qingtao's most beloved little daughter Xiaoqing.
She gently pushed the prince, half-sat at the head of the bed, and looked at the only man she had ever loved in her life, his face was full of vicissitudes, and a few gray hairs were visible from time to time on his forehead. But when she heard that he seemed to be calling a person's name in his dream, she listened softly with her ear, and only a "Xiaoya" sounded in her ears.
"Emperor, who is Xiao Ya?" said to herself.
The crown prince Batian, who was on the side, looked at her alone, and replied: "That's the woman that Jun's father liked when he was young, the two of them were childhood sweethearts, and Jun's father said that Xiaoya was the woman he loved the most in his life." ”
The clever and clever Yu Pian suddenly remembered that in the days when he had accompanied Qingtao, he had seen a painting in his study, and the woman in the painting looked like her, and she had always mistakenly thought that she was painted by the emperor. At this moment, she suddenly realized that the woman in the painting was Xiaoya, and she was just a substitute for the woman named Xiaoya, and she was the queen in Qingtao's mind.
Although the queen and Qingtao have been together for seventeen years, he has never told her the reason for marrying her in person------ the year after he took the throne, that is, the second year of Xiaoya's death, on the way out of the palace while he was sitting on the road, he accidentally saw a woman in the market with a face very similar to Xiaoya, she is now the dark blue queen Youpian.
It turned out that on that day, when the emperor's chariot passed by the market, the subjects on both sides of the road knelt down to greet him, and they could only get up when the chariot was far away. During this period, no one dared to raise their heads easily, for fear of angering Qingtao's majesty. Only a young woman probably looked up out of curiosity, and it was that glance that she and Qingtao looked at each other, leaving an extremely deep impression on Qingtao.
On weekdays, he is just playing with the women in the harem, but he has always been in love with Xiaoya, and he is tempted by a folk woman for the first time. Looking at her delicate watery face, as well as the faint flush on her face, and then looking at her beautiful eyes and thick and slender eyelashes, her every move really looks like her cousin Xiaoya, whom she once loved.
Suffering from the fact that his subordinates have been persuading him to canonize a new queen, he has always wanted to find someone who is exactly like his cousin, even if he looks like a god, to be the queen, because in his heart he always thinks that the position belongs only to his beloved.
That trip happened to be accompanied by Jiuchuan, so he ordered Jiuchuan to follow the woman all the way, find her residence, inquire about her residence and marriage matching, and report it to him truthfully. After some inquiry, Jiuchuan found out that her father's name was Si Nanfeng, and he was also a well-off family, with no background in the capital, and he had never had much contact with the official family. After inquiring again, I learned that this woman is the only daughter in the family, and she is now of marriageable age. Five years ago, he signed a marriage contract with a family surnamed Wang in the capital, but because he was still young a few years ago, the two families had not arranged a marriage for a long time.
After Jiuchuan inquired about everything, he reported the situation to his lord Qingtao. Qingtao immediately decided to send Jiuchuan to the Sifu to propose marriage, and by the way, he issued a strict order to force Si Nanfeng to find a way to withdraw the marriage contract.
Jiuchuan brought the bride price, lit the people, and went straight to the Sifu. When he arrived outside the mansion, Jiuchuan ordered several of his subordinates to carry the bride price into the mansion, sorted out the majestic military uniform on his body, and then left a large team of men and horses to surround the mansion.
Hearing that many officials and soldiers surrounded their homes, ordinary people had seen this formation, and the old lady of the Sifu fainted on the spot. Only Si Nanfeng, who was in charge, pretended to be calm, but his legs and feet were a little trembling, trembling and standing in the hall of his home, he looked at Jiuchuan who was walking towards him step by step, Jiuchuan touched his sexy mustache, and motioned to his subordinates to put the bride price aside, and he stepped forward first to give Si Nanfeng a kneeling salute.
This can make Sinan Feng stunned, on the one hand, he sent people to surround him, and on the other hand, the official knelt down for himself. He doesn't understand the kneeling people who are officials, and this is probably the first time in Deep Blue. In fact, it is not difficult to understand at all, Jiuchuan ostensibly asked his subordinates to surround the Si Mansion, but he wanted to shake off his prestige, so that the Si family could obediently help him to withdraw from the marriage contract. Because the emperor fell in love with the daughter of this guy named Sinan Feng, that is to say, her daughter is most likely the queen of the future dark blue, and she wants to talk to this future ruler in advance to pave the way for her future.
Before Sinan Feng could speak, Jiuchuan got up and said: This general is here to congratulate Master Si, Emperor Qingtao traveled yesterday to see Miss Youpian, the daughter of your house, and today he specially ordered the officials to come to propose marriage. If you agree, you will be the ruler of our navy in the future, a veritable royal relative, and the young lady will also become our master mother, that is, the queen of the entire navy. Today, the villain is not only here to propose, but also to say goodbye. I wonder what you think?
Sinan Feng looked embarrassed, spread his hands and said: "The little girl is humble, it is a great grace to be favored by the emperor and accepted as the queen, but the little girl and the king of the Wang family had a marriage contract a few years ago, and I can't refuse him this matter." Look, what should be done about it?"
Jiuchuan smiled slyly and said slightly: "This matter is not difficult to do, my people are outside the mansion, and I will go to the Wang family with you." Both soft and hard, you go to the mansion to talk to them about the annulment of the marriage contract, if the Wang family follows this matter, the two families will be safe from now on. If you don't, my men will immediately enter the house and find out the marriage contract, and by the way, I will directly arrest people and put them in prison and detain them until death. I don't believe that his Wang family dares to go against the emperor, and he can't do it himself!"
The situation is stronger than people, Si Nanfeng was originally a good person, and he was often bullied on weekdays, but now there is such a good opportunity to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and he will never be bullied again, and the Si family can also raise his eyebrows in the capital, and he doesn't want to miss this opportunity. He thought for a while, stared at Jiuchuan, and echoed and said: "The little people are soft-spoken, just follow what the general said! It's just that the little girl is there, the general must not say that he has leaked his mouth, if the little girl asks in the future, the general only said yes: The Wang family is ruthless and unjust, and he took the initiative to abolish the marriage contract, so don't make trouble." ”
"Guozhang, don't worry, after the matter is completed, the small one will never miss a word. It's just that in the future, if the young lady becomes the queen of the dark blue, she hopes that the Guozhang family will say a few kind words in front of the emperor, and Jiuchuan will be grateful. For this Sinan Feng who knows how to see the wind and steer the rudder, Jiuchuan is naturally a good stutter, after all, his future still depends on the emperor's pillow person.
"General Jiuchuan, it's easy to say, then let's go, get down to business first, and then talk slowly. Sinan Feng's legs and feet, which had swelled all of a sudden, stopped trembling, and he instantly felt that his worth had increased a lot, and the set of routines in the officialdom that tended to be inflammatory, were instantly on the road.
"By the way, there is a little pre-processing in my mansion, and after a while outside the general's mansion, Si will come later. He suddenly remembered something, and asked Jiuchuan to go out of the house first to wait, and he told his family to accept the bride price first, and by the way, he woke up the old lady who had just fainted: "Mother, wake up, don't faint, our family has become a relative of the emperor, and your son is going to be the current abbot." ”
The old lady woke up slowly, she looked at her son talking wildly, what royal relatives for a while, what prince for a while, but looking at her son's madness, she gradually knew the intention of the wave of people just now.
"Feng'er, are you sure you want to marry Li'er to Qingtao, the thief who usurped the throne of the emperor?
"Mother, weren't you scared and fainted at that scene just now? If I don't obey, our Si family will have no good fruit to eat, Qingtao and his subordinates have already seen it, and Li'er married into the royal court, and the life must be glorious and rich. Sinan Feng knelt in front of the old lady and begged, crying as he spoke. The old lady was speechless when he said this.
"Mother, go and tell her over there, the child still wants to talk to the Jiuchuan general about the annulment of the marriage contract with the Wang family, so I won't accompany you. With that, Sinan Feng got up and walked out of the house.
Everything went well, and the Wang family was helpless, they were frightened by the formation of people and horses brought by Jiuchuan at the beginning, and they were so frightened that they took out the marriage contract on the spot and burned it in front of Jiuchuan and Sinan Feng.
Later, Si Youlian successfully married into the royal court and became Qingtao's princess. Because the family has become a relative of the emperor, since then, Sinan Feng has become the abbot, and outsiders have to call him the abbot of Nanfeng, or simply the abbot. And Si Youlian is also known as Queen Youlian, or simply Queen. This queen's throne has been sitting for seventeen years, and she has dedicated the best of a woman's youth to Qingtao, and she has always been stupid to think that Qingtao just fell in love with her at first sight, but as everyone knows, she is just a substitute for that person (Xiaoya).
Thinking back to the past seventeen years in her mind, tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of her eyes. That emotion is really complicated, there is not only the love for the man lying on the bed, but also his love for his children in the past seventeen years, and the pain of the man in front of him who treats himself as a substitute for other women, and these are all brought to him by Qingtao, whether it is love or pain.
From the day she chose to obey her father's words and marry into the royal court, she was ready to deal with everything that might happen, but what she didn't expect was that this day would come so suddenly.
"Queen Mother, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, the monarch will get better, it's all blame on the emperor, it's all bad to blame the emperor, make the monarch angry, if you feel uncomfortable, just scold the emperor, you are like this, I look uncomfortable" The prince thought that he was in trouble again, and suddenly knelt down in front of the queen, begging for her forgiveness.
Seeing his brother kneeling, Xiaoqing, who was his sister, also involuntarily knelt down.
"Emperor, it's not your fault, get up quickly, the queen mother just remembered some sad past, and couldn't help crying sadly!" You Lian wiped the tears on her face with the corner of her clothes, and then helped her son up.
"Huang'er, if you can't make your mother happy, you can only keep kneeling until your mother doesn't cry. Batian replied.
"Good boy, get up, you see, I don't cry anymore. Mercy forced herself to put on a smile.
Suddenly, Qingtao, who was lying on the bed, woke up, his eyes were half open, and he coughed twice, which suddenly drew the attention of the mother and son, and the prince and princess also hurriedly got up.
"Father, are you awake, are you okay?" asked the crown prince with concern.
"I'm fine, it just so happens that your queen mother is also here, come, help me up, I have something to say!" Qingtao said.
