Chapter 199: The Queen Arrives (16)

The realization that "she was right" almost destroyed the self-confidence and pride he had built up for a long time. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info her words, stripped Zhou Cong of all the gorgeous and dazzling coats, and let him see the truest, ugliest, and most unwilling to accept himself.

What saddened him the most was that she hated him so much that she even felt uncomfortable seeing him. How else could he get her back?

The fact that he has lost the queen forever, as long as he thinks about it, his heart hurts like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

Zhou Cong curled up in a ball, sat in the darkest corner of the study, and silently shed tears. It was probably the most helpless and saddest moment of his life. He is not only a failed emperor, but also a failed husband. He lost the wife who loved him the most.

Sadly, after losing her, he realized that he couldn't do without her at all. However, she never looked back.

He doesn't know what he has to do? What should I do?

Zhou Cong was both sad and confused.

……

Following the conversation in the study, Zhou Cong never deliberately made any moths to lead the scene to Yazhai. He suddenly became a lot more calm and sensible, more attentive and diligent, applied what he had learned, and made rapid progress.

In just two months, he finished the course arranged for him by Jing Lin and Taifu and others.

Jing Lin did not love power, and directly retreated to the harem, and lived a leisurely life of admiring beautiful women, tasting food, listening to stories and watching acrobatics all day long.

ZHOU Cong. After the throne, there were indeed many ministers in the DPRK who were not at ease. began to secretly stumble on him, and at the same time instigated his relationship with Jing Lin with clever words, and asked him to deal with Jing Shan.

The officials who did this have not yet called Jing Lonely to rectify, and to everyone's surprise, they all asked Zhou Cong to clean up one by one.

Zhou Cong learned from the pain, feeling that he still couldn't let go of his queen, and still had the idea of getting back together with the queen, how could he tolerate others to destroy their already precarious relationship.

Zhou Cong was a very persistent and dedicated person to the things he loved, in the past, he could focus on retreat and study, and as an emperor, he was willful and did not care about the world. Now he puts Jing Lin in the first place, and he goes to Fengluan Palace every day to have three meals with her.

Sometimes, the fold will be taken to Fengluan Palace for review. In the name of consulting the queen, he actually brushed Jing Lian's favor very diligently, sending flowers, poems, songs, paintings, jewelry, and so on to Jing Lian.

The poems, paintings, lyrics and songs were all made by Zhou Cong himself for Jing Lian, all of which are rare masterpieces of the same kind, but Jing Lin couldn't appreciate it, so they all returned to him. The various flowers and jewelry he sent were liked by the palace maids of Fengluan Palace, and they were distributed to them for them to play.

Zhou Cong sent it for a month, and found that Jing Lin didn't like what he sent at all, so he either returned it to him or gave it to the little palace maid, so he didn't send it frequently. He was cold about this, he was indignant, but he didn't dare to find her to reason.

Because she had told him clearly that she was completely dead to him. He was afraid that he would anger her again, so she wouldn't even let him enter Fengluan Palace.

Zhou Cong regrouped and silently cheered himself up: although the Qi family did not accept him, she was always his queen, and she was dignified and polite, and would not leave him to find another man. He still has a chance. As long as he doesn't give up, even if she is solid ice, he can cover her up.

Zhou Cong slowly built up self-confidence for himself: Even if he became a general, Yin Hanlin was cited three times and five times. seduced her, but she was unmoved and took the initiative to dissociate herself from them. General Cheng asked her to personally send her to the northern frontier; Since he left the school, Yin Hanlin was transferred out of Beijing by her and sent to Suzhou and Hangzhou as governors.

These two people will not want to return to Beijing for three to five years.

As for the other courtiers of the queen who secretly admired him, they didn't even dare to show their hearts to her, and they were not his opponents at all. Especially now that the queen has retired to the harem and is not in court, they have no chance.

After thinking about it, Zhou Cong still felt that he had the greatest possibility of reconciling with the queen. All he needs is patience and persistence.

It's just that every time he goes to Fengluan Palace and sees that the queen doesn't say a superfluous word except for official business, he doesn't even bother to give him a look, he is anxious, unable to sit still, and unable to eat and sleep.

Zhou Cong, who had nothing to do, rushed to the doctor, and summoned his cronies and women outside the palace: Gonggong Lu, a number of Jin Wuwei who were born in a family, and those idle but very pleasing ladies in the clan to give him advice.

After everyone discussed it several times, Zhou Cong put pen to paper and listed a plan to reform the queen.

He plans to start with the dismissal of the harem first, and even deal with those who have no heirs. The concubines of the body of the son were sent home and allowed to marry freely. If he couldn't find a husband, he was also enthusiastic about marrying him.

This move was indeed approved by the queen.

It's just that the queen praised him for doing a good job with the front foot, and said to him with the back foot: "The emperor is so clean and self-conscious, although the palace is happy...... happy for those women who have been released from the palace and have been reborn, "It's just that the palace is even more sad." The emperor is not close to the concubines in the harem, what should the imperial heir do? ”

"Although there are now two princes and three princesses in the palace, it is still a little deserted in the end. Hongu is old, and he is injured and can't have a back...... I hope that the emperor will 'exchange' feelings with Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu. ”

"They are not very old, they are not yet 30, they are healthy, and they will definitely be able to give birth to healthier and more lovely children. The palace wants to ask the emperor for a promise, and when the little prince or princess is born, the palace wants to hold him (her) to his or her knees to raise, which can be regarded as making up for a regret of the palace. The emperor won't allow it, right? ”

In fact, it was Queen Qi's remnants who wanted to raise a child. The thing she cared about the most in her life was that she couldn't conceive an heir and didn't have children of her own. She begged Jing Lin to raise a child for her and put it in her name, and someone would burn paper money for her in the future.

“…… Good. Zhou Cong's eyes were astringent and his nose was very sour, of course he knew the queen's obsession with children.

Speaking of which, the queen can't have a son, and she can't get rid of him. Back then, an enemy spy infiltrated the palace to assassinate him, and she blocked a knife for him and injured his body. Later, he dragged the injury to deal with government affairs for him, so that he hurt the origin. Not only will they not be able to have children, but they may not live long.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Cong didn't dare to look at Jing Lian's eyes anymore, what he owed her was really a lifetime. It's just that he can't sleep with other women. There are already five children in the palace, and there is no need for more. The rest of his life should be used to make up for and love her.

"There are enough children in the palace, no more is needed. The eldest prince and the second prince are both well-behaved and sensible, which one does the queen prefer? I ......"

"The eldest prince and the second prince are the lives of Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui, the root, how can this palace win people's love? There are other children in the clan, so let's find them slowly. Find the right one and hold it under your knees. ”

Jing Xiao glanced at Zhou Cong in surprise, he was still young and strong, but he didn't want to sleep with a woman, could it be that there was something wrong with his body? I have to ask the Imperial Doctor to take a look at him. In case he dies early, Queen Qi feels that she didn't take good care of him and didn't give her soul silk, she would die at a loss.

"Your Majesty, have you been feeling unwell lately? Do you need a royal doctor for you? ”

"I'm fine." Zhou Cong felt guilty and couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly got up: "There are still important matters in the court that need to be dealt with, so I won't accompany the queen to dinner today." ”

"No matter how busy the emperor is, he must pay attention to his body."

"Hmm." She also cared about him. It shows that she is not completely disinterested in him. A warm joy rose from the bottom of Zhou Cong's heart, "The queen should pay more attention to her body." After a while, I will call a few imperial doctors to come over and take a closer look at you, prescribe some medicine to condition your body, and make sure to bring back all the deficits you have before. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jing Lin didn't expect Zhou Cong to say this, and gave him a bright smile.

Zhou Cong was instantly healed and walked away with brisk steps. (To be continued.) )
