034: Who failed whom
Although it was a question for her, it was in an affirmative tone.
In fact, he didn't want to hide this matter from her, nor did he specifically tell her the truth about the edict of the first emperor, the less people know about it, the better, after all, it is about the community, once more people know, it will be out of control.
Looking at his reaction and attitude, it has been confirmed, but she can't figure it out......
Biting her lip slightly, she asked, "Why?"
Even though her heart was no longer what it used to be, and the truth of the year was no longer so important, she still wanted to know why she was treated like this......
Isn't she good enough? That's why he would rather not have the throne than marry her......
Rong Zhi frowned slightly, but he didn't know how to answer, why......
For this marriage contract, before going to Liguo, he actually did not object, because for him at that time, whoever he married was the same, and the wife set by his father was all in consideration of his situation to seek the greatest benefit for him, although the Qin family is not more powerful than the Yuan family, but Qin Youxiang has a great influence, and Qin Minying was calculated that although the phoenix life was intentionally done by his father, it also existed, he did not object to being the emperor, and naturally he did not object to marrying a woman with advantages and disadvantages.
However, after returning from Liguo, he knew that the emperor was not important to him at all, so he made it clear that he would not marry her, because he already had the person he wanted to have for the rest of his life, that person, just like the warm sun in winter, illuminated his world, and also warmed his heart, although it was not tempting, but he was willing to spend his life to protect her, even if that person was no longer the original in his mind, even if he knew that it was no longer possible for him and that person, what he wanted to keep, after all, he couldn't keep it, but he always remembered, if it wasn't for the carefree heart, perhaps, he would keep the promise he made when he was young, but, he is still moved by worry-free.
For Qin Minying, he has never had any thoughts, or rather, in addition to worry-free, he has never had a man-to-woman affection for any woman, even if it is a girl who he promised to marry her as a princess, it is only because he wants to keep such a pure and clean person by his side, but he is not tempted......
Seeing that he was still silent, she smiled bitterly, slowly stepped forward, looked at his calm face, she bit her lip, and asked sadly, "Just because you don't want to marry me, you give up the throne at your fingertips...... Hehe, in your eyes, I am so unbearable? Rong Zhi, you and I have had a marriage contract since childhood, what do I think about you, don't you know, you tell me, what is it for, why do you treat me like this? You know how reluctant I was to marry the emperor at that time, why did you treat me so cruelly?"
Since she was a child, she knew that she was going to marry him in the future, and she never objected to this marriage contract, and she was bent on making herself better, just so that she could match him, as her father said, and become his queen......
Her affection is deep, why does he never care......
At that time, Chu Jing, so many famous ladies, no one could compare to her appearance and talent, everyone said that the eldest lady of the Qin family was stunning, how talented she was, and there were countless men who admired her, but she was only tempted by him, so she would not participate in the occasion when she was not going to go to the door, and she was only looking forward to growing up, looking forward to marrying him as soon as she was old, even if he was sent to Liguo for two years, she secretly swore that no matter whether he could come back or not, she would wait for him, and he would not marry in this life……
She remembered that when she was sixteen years old, her father told her that the first emperor had already said that when he returned to Beijing, he would decree that they would get married, and she couldn't sleep happily because of this, but not long after the first emperor died, Rong Yan ascended the throne naturally, and then, it was the holy decree to make her a concubine.
She has always hated Rong Yan because of this, hated Rong Yan for taking away his throne, hated Rong Yan for forcibly letting her enter the palace with the life of the Qin family, and hated Rong Yan for making her love all these years, but in the end, it turned out that all her hatred was just a joke......
Now, her mind, she has understood that after so many years, in fact, she has unconsciously changed her mind, but forced herself not to admit it, and now, she admits that she is in love with the man who has been infatuated with her all these years, but she still can't let go, she wants to know why.
Rong Zhi looked at her with a sad face, his heart did not fluctuate, but he couldn't turn a blind eye, so he simply didn't be silent, he looked at her calmly, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he said lightly: "Gu told you when he came back from Liguo, Gu will not marry you, let you stop thinking about Gu, what you said at that time was true, but you didn't take it to heart, Brother Huang treats you sincerely, you marry him, it's much better than marrying Gu who has no thoughts about you!"
He didn't like her, he couldn't give her the sincerity she wanted, and he couldn't go against his heart to marry a woman who didn't have half of his affection, so he said that he wouldn't marry, he really wouldn't marry her, no matter what, he wouldn't marry her, but at that time, she didn't take it seriously, and his thoughts about him did not decrease but increased, and he had always been silent, and he didn't like to explain, because she refused to give up, and his father turned a deaf ear to his refusal to marry her, so he deliberately left Beijing for a few years, and did not return to Beijing until his father died, thinking that she had died of heart, but he underestimated this woman's obsession。
For the affairs of men and women, before encountering worry-free, he actually didn't know much, so he wouldn't deal with it, he thought that as long as he explicitly refused, she would also know the difficulties and give up, but she was too persistent.
Although he didn't have a heart for her, he would never be as indifferent to her as other women, he didn't want to delay her, but he didn't want her to marry a man casually, and he saw the emperor's thoughts, so he left the capital with confidence.
Hearing this, Qin Guifei's eyes flashed slightly, looking at his eyes, it was complicated and difficult to distinguish, for a moment, she smiled bitterly, and said astringently: "I thought it was ...... How could I forget what you said, but I thought that as long as I insisted, you would always be tempted by me, at that time, the first emperor Zeng Chrysostom said, as long as you ascend the throne, I will be your queen, even if you don't want to, you can't change it, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect you to even give up the throne, should I laugh at me for being worthy of giving up the throne at your fingertips, or should I cry that you would rather lose the country than marry me?"
She really doesn't know how to face it, all the persistence over the years is very obsessive, all her hatred is wishful thinking, for this reason, she has been trampling on that sincere love for eight years, not hesitating to make a big mistake, and now it is too late to regret it......
She hates, but she doesn't hate Rong Zhi, to put it simply, it's actually her own fault, Rong Zhi never gave her any hope, she didn't want to face it, she was too self-righteous, and now, all the coldness and indifference she suffered are all her own fault.
Rong Zhi's thin lips pursed slightly, looking at the bitterness, self-deprecation, grief, and sadness on her face, frowning slightly, but she didn't know how to speak.
At this time, he didn't know what to say to ease her mood, he was used to being silent and silent, not good at words, except for Lou Yueqing, he had no experience in talking to the woman next to him, even if he had known Qin Minying for many years, he had something to say, and he was silent without words, so at the moment, Qin Guifei's appearance was embarrassing for him.
Simply, he was silent.
His silence also made her understand his attitude, suppressed the feelings of remorse in her heart, she looked at him fixedly, wanted to say something but choked in her throat, after all, she didn't say much, her eyes moved slightly, lowered her eyes, as if laughing at herself, and then slowly turned around......
What else could she say?
At this point, no matter how much she said, it only made her regret more, she didn't hate Rong Zhi, but she didn't want to see him again, from now on, she could only atone for the mistakes she had committed, and she didn't dare to hope for anything else.
Seeing Qin Minying staggering and turning away, as if he had lost his soul, he frowned, but he didn't say much......
Standing still in contemplation for a moment, he stepped away......
Zhao'er came up, helped Qin Minying, who was trembling slightly, and looked at her with some concern: "Niangniang, you can't be too sad, beware of the child in your belly ......"
Qin Minying suddenly came back to her senses, covered her abdomen with her hands, lowered her eyes to look at her flat belly, bit her lip slightly, and did not speak.
She also has children......
This is the emperor's first child and her first child, no matter what, she has to take good care of this child, give birth to him, and do everything to protect him to grow up, and the rest is not important.
Pursing her lips slightly, she whispered, "Go back!"
Zhao'er helped her to get on the chariot, and Feng drove back in the direction of Hehuan Palace.
However, she didn't expect that not long after leaving, she arrived outside the Xuanwen Palace, she asked people to stop and look at the Xuanwen Hall quietly, her eyes seemed to have passed through the palace wall, looking inside......
Outside the Xuanwen Palace, there are still guards of the Imperial Forest Army, guarding layer by layer, she never thought of going in, now she is no longer the one who can enter and exit at will before, he will no longer let her in at will.
However, it didn't take long for me to run into someone.
Concubine Xue, who was sitting on the road to the gate of the Xuanwen Palace.
For Concubine Xue, she has seen it once, that is, the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet more than a month ago, but she didn't care too much, until the ban on Hehuan Hall was lifted in the past few days, she learned that Concubine Xue is quite favored now, and everything that happened during this time is also known, she is also a little curious about this Concubine Xue, but she has been raising a baby, so she has never seen it, only that Concubine Xue is now very favored, controls the harem, and looks like her......
The woman he loves looks similar to her, in fact, she is faintly a little lucky, but, more, it is heartache, after all, she pushed him to others.
Now seeing Concubine Xue's face, which was indeed somewhat similar to her, Qin Minying looked stunned, the steps over there had stopped, and Concubine Xue stood up calmly supported by the palace people and walked towards her.
Immediately, his face was calm and his tone was respectful: "The concubine sees the queen's mother!"
Yes, she is now the queen of the Chu State, even if she does not have the post-sealing ceremony, she is already the veritable queen of the Chu State by telling the world.
Her eyes moved slightly, and then she said lightly: "Sister doesn't have to be polite, get up!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Concubine Xue stood up and raised her eyes to look at Qin Minying, although her face was a little haggard and pale, she could clearly see that their faces were indeed similar, but she already knew that she was not too surprised, she just asked with concern: "The queen's face is not very good, but her body is not well?"
Qin Minying smiled faintly, "It's okay to have a body in this palace, Sister Lao cares!"
Concubine Xue was not in a hurry and said in a low voice: "Where is Niangniang, the concubine wanted to go to see Niangniang a few days ago, but the emperor told Niangniang to raise a baby, so let the concubine not bother first, plus several newly sealed sisters are also going to enter the palace in the past two days, and the harem is busy, so it will not be empty, it is the concubine's rudeness!"
Qin Minying's face froze, and she had heard about a few more concubines, she had also heard about it, she didn't care who he had sealed before, but now that she heard it, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
The hand placed on the armrest clenched slightly, her eyes moved slightly, she lowered her eyes to remove the pain under her eyes, and said with a far-fetched smile: "It's just a false courtesy, my sister is too busy now holding the phoenix seal in charge of the harem, so you don't have to care too much, the coming day will be long, and it will be the same in the future!"
Concubine Xue smiled and said softly: "The concubine understands, but the etiquette is not costly, the concubine still has to make a compensatory deal with the mother, look at the mother Haihan!"
After speaking, he really made a palace salute to Qin Minying, and the whole person was half-squatting there, with a very pious attitude.
May I ask if I can't see through this Concubine Xue, although I saw it once at the last Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, I didn't care too much, today is the first time they have met in theory, but I can faintly see that she seems to be sincere in what she says and does, and there is no fraud, no arrogance or rashness, but as if she has no desire and no desire.
I heard that Rong Yan doted on her very much and trusted her very much, and now in the Xuanwen Palace, she goes in and out at will, just like at the beginning, her own treatment.
All the things in the Hehuan Hall in the past few days have also been ordered by her, and everything is very proper, no matter how big or small.
There was silence for a moment, and I saw that Concubine Xue was still pausing there and maintaining a saluting posture, and there was no patience at all, as if if she didn't make a sound, Concubine Xue wouldn't get up.
Frowning, she said lightly: "Sister's gift, this palace has received it, get up!"
"Xie Niangniang!" Concubine Xue was helped up by the palace people behind her.
Looking at her, Qin Minying raised her eyebrows: "Sister, are you going to accompany the emperor?"
Concubine Xue bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Back to Niangniang's words, indeed, the emperor only ordered the palace people to pass on the message, saying that they were a little bored, and the concubine had the matter at hand, and came to accompany the emperor to relieve his boredom!"
As always, we are sincere and respectful.
When Qin Minying heard this, she looked at the heavily guarded Xuanwen Hall in front of her, and didn't say much, but said lightly: "In that case, my sister will go to accompany the emperor first!"
Concubine Xue was no longer polite, and curtsied her knees and said, "The concubine is retired!"
Immediately, she got up, turned around and walked towards the door of the Xuanwen Palace, Qin Minying watched her enter the gate of the Xuanwen Hall without being hindered like this, and a tingling pain flashed in her eyes......
For a moment, she didn't stay longer, and said lightly: "Go back!"
Hearing the sound, the chariot was carried up and went to the Hehuan Palace......
She didn't see that not far away, in the side hall of the Xuanwen Palace, a pair of eyes were looking at her tightly, obscure......
