There was no hatred or resentment in the queen's eyes. Because what she did was really what she wanted, she just wanted to make the man in front of her happy, so now she doesn't hate or resent it.

She just doesn't understand that the two have been together for so many years, even Ah Feng has grown up, and so many ditches and bumps have passed: she has only been away for a few months, and the emperor has accepted a new love?

Why? She didn't understand, she really didn't understand, and suddenly the man in front of her was no longer familiar, she really didn't understand him anymore. Perhaps, the man she thought she knew in the past was not the person in front of her, but her self-righteousness, right?

The queen knows that she is the head of the six palaces, and knows that if she is the only one in the palace, the emperor will be criticized by hundreds of officials, criticized by the world, and will be written by the historian: It is not good to let the emperor fall into a reputation of fear.

So she didn't stop the emperor from taking concubines, the concubines who entered the palace before her are still living well in the palace, she became the queen and accepted several concubines for the emperor, and they all gave birth to children for the emperor: she really did her best.

As long as it is good for the emperor, she always wants to do it to the extreme. Among the palace concubines she selected, there was not a single beauty who was not charming: in addition to her appearance, she paid more attention to virtue, and only women with excellent conduct and good looks could enter her eyes.

In addition, the concubines who were accepted in order to balance the forces of the DPRK and China, such as Han Guifei; It wasn't the queen's choice, but she did her best to take care of it.

The emperor said to her more than once: Empress, what if I don't have you?

Now the queen knows that if the emperor doesn't have her, he will quickly accept a beauty he likes and spoil him to the sky.

Why? She doesn't understand, she really doesn't understand, the emperor is a man of great talent in her eyes, how can he be obsessed with women at such a time?

The emperor looked at the empress's clear gaze, and finally only spit out one sentence: "I'm sorry." But Liu'er is a good woman. After he finished his sentence, he reached out again to shake the queen's hand.

He was suddenly a little frightened, afraid that the queen would leave him. He hadn't thought about it before, because the queen was his virtuous queen, and she had taken excellent care of him and his concubines for many years.

He thinks that at most, as long as he coaxes the queen, he has been warm for a while, and the queen is still his virtuous queen; And he will be the happiest man in the world, but he will have two of the best women in the world: one is his queen and the other is his imperial concubine.

The Empress took two steps back and looked at the Emperor earnestly, and did not withdraw her gaze until the Emperor coughed and lowered her head; The queen did not have a seizure, nor did she cry, she turned away gently, and the sunset was gone.

All you can see is the glow of the sky. It's going to be dark.

The queen's heart is cold, not because the emperor said sorry, but because of the sentence "Liu'er is a good woman" - if the queen says anything more, will she no longer be a good woman in the emperor's heart?!

Whether Liu Er is a good woman or not, the queen does not know, but she knows very well that Liu Er is a blessed woman: the queen has endured humiliation for many years, and she broke with her family to protect Emperor Chu's world, and in the end Emperor Chu succeeded.

But it was that Liu Er who stood with Emperor Chu and enjoyed this qiē. Liu Er didn't do anything, just accompanied the emperor for a few months, and then the emperor's mind was on par with the queen, or slightly better.

Smart people, sometimes you really don't have to say much, one sentence is enough. The emperor is also a man, his heart has been placed in front of the queen, and the queen has only one way to go.

After many years of husband and wife, the emperor has not given the queen a choice: she can't say anything more than accept it. It can only be accepted, and it must be accepted.

The queen looked at the glow in the sky: "I remember that on my birthday when I was pregnant with Ah Feng, the emperor and I held hands to watch the sunset. Stroking Ah Feng in the abdomen and holding the emperor's hand, I think I have the whole world. ”

When the emperor heard this, he looked at the queen's back, opened his mouth twice and didn't say a word, he didn't know what to say; Also, there was a trace of unhappiness in his heart--he thought that the empress was trying to remember the bittersweet memories and use this to hint at his unkindness as an emperor.

"The sunset is going to disappear, and the sky is really going to be dark." The queen turned around, her eyes were calm, and her face was also calm: "The imperial banquet should be arranged, and the concubine wants to change her clothes before going over to show her respect for the hundred officials." ”

She didn't mention the past, nor did she cry as the emperor expected, and calmly talked about the things in front of her, as if she hadn't asked why just now.

The emperor looked at the empress and his heart softened, but in the end, he was disappointed by her: "Empress, I ......"

The queen shook her head: "The emperor has already apologized, and if there are no concubines in this palace, wouldn't the head of the six palaces of concubines just bear a false name?" This truth was understood when the concubine entered the palace. Your Majesty, the hour is not early, and the concubine has to change her clothes first. ”

She curtsied: "Concubine, retire." ”

The queen's hair was still jet black, the queen's body was still slender, and in the soft glow, her movements were like a dance, and her clothes fluttered as if she was about to turn into a butterfly and flutter away.

What else did the emperor say, the empress had already taken a few steps back, and once again owed, turned around and stepped out of the hall; Outside the hall, someone came up to serve, the queen took someone to the side hall to change clothes and freshen up, and the emperor in the hall stood for a long time and sighed gently.

He looked around, even if Zhang Youde brought someone in to serve, he still felt that the main hall of Fengxiang Palace was so empty, the space was empty, and the emptiness made his heart empty.

The emperor raised his foot and took a step, and suddenly retracted his foot and looked at Zhang Youde: "You say, did I really do something wrong?" I am also a human being, and sometimes I need someone who can make me laugh. ”

"Queen, are you angry?" He frowned: "Perhaps, tonight is not a good time to feast on the ministers. He didn't want to go to the royal banquet anymore, and his heart was very confused at this time.

Zhang Youde bent down: "The Holy Lord is clearly decided, the emperor has the answer to what the emperor asks, where is the need for me to talk nonsense." ”

The emperor looked at him deeply, turned around and sat down again: "I don't change my clothes, I'll wait for the queen here." Let people prepare, and I will go to the royal banquet with the queen. ”

Zhang Youde didn't say anything more, and respectfully agreed to go out, but he stayed outside for a long time in a word; And the emperor in the palace didn't even have a cup of tea in front of him - Zhang Youde was an old man in the palace, and he never said anything about negligence.

In the inner hall, the imperial concubine's eyes were shining, staring closely at the sweaty imperial doctor: what she had to do was not unsuccessful.

And the royal banquet was about to start, and she didn't have much time to delay, so she gave Yu Deshui a look; Yu Deshui took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and put them in front of the imperial doctor: "You, you should know what to say, right?" ”
