Final Chapter 1
He hadn't been to Changxin Palace for a long time.
Since the selection of young and beautiful women in the palace one after another, he does not want to see the old people again. Because every time he sees them, Yu Hao will clearly realize that he is aging. The harem has not had a concubine for several years, and Xu did a lot of sins when he was young, so he was destined to be alone when he was old.
Especially De Shunyi, she has always been good friends with the Empress Beigong clan in the past, and as soon as Yu Hao saw her, he couldn't help but think of the stubborn and arrogant woman in Jing'an Palace. In the past three years, she has never had a word of repentance, as if the farewell of that day was really never to see each other again.
However, today, in order to make peace with the Goryeo Kingdom, he had to meet Princess Rujing's biological mother, De Shunyi. Yu Hao has a total of three daughters under his knees, namely Mrs. Yunping's Furui, the queen's Princess Ziyang, and Deshunyi's Ruyi. Princess Ziyang is still young, and she is a concubine, so naturally she can't be wronged and kissed. As for Furong, Yu Hao couldn't bear to see her mother and daughter separated because poor Mrs. Yunping was lonely. And De Shunyi is the sister of Concubine Ning today, and her two sisters enjoy honors in the palace, and now it is time to serve the imperial court.
Before the emperor came to Changxin Palace, no one sent a message. He wanted to see Rujing's ordinary life, but before he entered the palace, he heard a woman crying. The cry was extremely terrible, and during the process, you could hear the sound of a sharp weapon like a wattle pulling on the skin of the body. Yu Hao was suspicious for a while, stopped Dong Bi, who was about to come forward to report, and walked straight into the palace gate.
In the courtyard in early autumn, the subordinates were bustling and kneeling on the ground. In the middle, De Shunyi was holding a long whip and mercilessly beating a palace maid who was kneeling and crying. There was a poisonous look between her eyebrows and eyes, and she didn't care about the woman's skin and flesh, and begged for mercy again and again, and swung one whip higher than the other. Behind her, dressed in a pink embroidered silk satin robe with a double fish tail pattern, and a pink and white tourmaline beaded gold silk necklace, she sat on the banana chair and watched the scene with relish, with a look of arrogance on her face.
Seeing that the palace maid almost fainted, Yu Hao hurriedly shouted, "Stop!" This sound shocked De Shunyi, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Emperor Jin'an." You, how did you get here. ”
Seeing that her mouth was weak, Yu Hao snatched the thorn whip from her hand and asked, "What mistake did she make, and I want you to lynch her severely." ”
"Father, don't blame your mother." Rujing made a steady salute, with a coquettish smile on her face, she stepped forward and grabbed the man's sleeve, and whispered softly, "Erchen originally asked her to teach her to play the piano from the Caile room, but who knew that this hoof was very lazy and didn't care about Erchen at all." ”
Yu Hao frowned slightly, and quietly shook off her hand. "I remember that this is the third teaching master, and your female celebrity and word fu can grow."
Ru Jiao hung her head, kicked a green chrysanthemum at her feet, and was faintly unhappy: "Erchen hasn't learned it yet." ”
"That's because you are stubborn and unwilling to work hard, how can you blame her." Yu Hao's face was slightly angry, and he turned to look at De Shunyi, who was speechless, "When I was away, did you teach the princess like this." ”
Seeing him blaming his mother, Rujing became more and more unhappy and said: "If you are a princess, how can the princess be wrong." If there is something wrong, it is also the inferior's fault. ”
Seeing her so rude and willful, Yu Hao was disappointed in his heart, and shook his head gloomily and said: "You don't distinguish between right and wrong, but I didn't teach you well." How can you be the princess of Da Wei like this, if you are seen by outsiders, wouldn't you be smiling and generous. He said that, regardless of De Shunyi's busy explanation, he left Changxin Palace angrily.
As soon as the emperor left, Ru Jing changed her arrogance and bent down to help De Shunyi. There was shallow horror in her eyes, and she said again and again: "Mother, after my father saw us do that, wouldn't he really marry his daughter to a remote place?" ”
De Shunyi slowly straightened her waist, and followed the back of the Son of Heaven with a pair of eyes, as if she had something else to think about: "Although that person is grounded in Jing'an Palace now, after all, he has climbed to the queen's seat step by step, since she said so, there must be no mistake." ”
Ru Jing nodded incomprehensibly, and her gaze leisurely cast to the undulating sky.
A few days later, Yu Hao decided to marry the virtuous and dignified Princess Fuhui to Goryeo in the name of harmony, as a sign of the great imperial grace of the Great Wei. At the same time, in order to appease Mrs. Yunping, she was promoted to a noble concubine and restored to the title of Xian. However, no matter how many honors she had, since the princess got married, the woman still blindly disappeared, and did not want to eat all day long, but after a few months of hard work, she was already dying, and she was in danger.
The virtuous concubine has long ceased to be favored because she can't have children, and her glamorous appearance over the years is just the end of a strong crossbow, only because of Princess Furui that she has not lost the courage to live. Now that the princess is married, she is alone and has no one to rely on, and it is only a matter of time before the lamp runs out.
When Su E got the news that day, Yuyan was standing under the eaves teasing a parrot with green feathers and red beaks. Under the window of Jing'an Palace, there was a slip of cosmos in full bloom, which she planted one by one when she had nothing to do. The color of the petals is bright and dripping, bright but not demonic, comparable to the cultivation of the flower house. Yu Yan stood in it, wearing a long dress with light color, and at that time, the golden light of the morning sun outside the hall hit her body, and the aperture was deep and shallow, broken and confused, and she was extremely bright.
Su E's eyes clearly showed a hint of joy, and he chuckled: "Just now Dong Bi sent someone here, and everything was as Niangniang expected. ”
Yu Yan only smiled calmly, and stroked the parrot's bright feathers: "That's fine." ”
"It's just that the slave doesn't know anything." Su E paused, looked at her and said, "Niangniang was originally on ground, why did she do everything to help De Shunyi survive this catastrophe." ”
"I'm not helping her, I'm just borrowing her to fulfill her last wish." Yu Yan's tone was calm and gentle, and she spread out a small handful of finely chopped millet in her palm, teasing the birds to peck lightly, "Do you remember the last time I saw the emperor, he told me that he knew that I had a personal affair with my ministers?" ”
"Prince Jia......" seems to be a very distant thing, Su E narrowed his eyes slightly.
"At first, I thought it was Yan Cheng, a close confidant of the emperor, who told him, but Yan Cheng came late, and the emperor should not have suddenly become suspicious at that time. I even suspected Chengying, so I sent Xiaofuzi to investigate secretly, but I didn't expect that the informant was actually a virtuous concubine. "Yu Yan's slender nails gently brushed the birdcage made of fine rattan flowers, and after stopping for a long time, his hands were stained with a quiet fragrance." She'd known it a long time ago, but she'd always held it in my hand as a handle. It wasn't until a few years ago that she broke up with me because of the county lord's ordination, and she informed the emperor. Since then, the emperor has had the heart to get rid of his ministers, and all kinds of tragedies have been caused by her. At that time, she had not expected that one day she would cling to me, but she had caused all the evils to come. ”
