85. The emperor refers to people
"Referring to people?" There was still some reaction on the side of his eyebrows, "Who are you referring to?" ”
Yuan Ziqing gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Referring to the side concubine." ”
He froze for a moment before he understood what he meant. The emperor wants to give Yuan Ziqing a person. "Why?" She asked. Why would a good person suddenly talk about such a topic?
Yuan Ziqing sneered, "It is said that you are pregnant, and it is inconvenient, and you are considerate that there is no one around me to serve you, so you have to point me out." ”
I couldn't speak. Although the emperor's words were offensive, they stood up to the truth. As an elder, he cares that Yuan Ziqing has no one around him to serve him, even if he says that he will break the sky, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just disgusting to do that.
"And what do you say?" He hesitated and asked.
Yuan Ziqing let go of her at this time, fell on the couch, and sighed, "I naturally refused." But looking at the emperor, he didn't seem to be very happy. I'm worried about ......"
"It's not over yet?"
Yuan Ziqing was silent for a moment, "After all, he is the emperor, and today he is just asking for my opinion, if he is really annoyed and makes a will, can he still refuse?" That's the rebellion. ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw a frowning brow with a deep thinking face, and said, "Don't worry, I only have you in my heart, and I can't accommodate anyone else around me." ”
But in this matter, it can no longer just depend on Yuan Ziqing's own wishes.
But why did the emperor do this? Considerate Yuan Ziqing is not served, but it is just a reason, I am afraid that he will not believe it himself. But the Fu Wangfu is still very honest for the time being, and there should be no need for the emperor to interfere. Yuan Ziqing's attention to the eyebrows, the emperor would not be unaware, so directly pointing people over, but it made both sides unhappy.
So I can't figure out why he would do this.
couldn't figure it out, so she turned to ask Yuan Ziqing, "What good is the emperor's will for him?" ”
"What's so strange about that?" Yuan Ziqing leaned over, lay down close to her eyebrows, put her hands around her lower abdomen, and said in a deep voice, "He doesn't want me to have a queen." ”
Eyebrows were startled, and they almost stood up. Yuan Ziqing hurriedly patted her and asked her to sit down again, "Don't worry, I will protect you and the child." ”
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be dangerous to let people in?" Said worriedly on the side of his eyebrows. The emperor didn't want Yuan Ziqing to have any thoughts about the future, he had said before, she just didn't think of it for a while.
When Yuan Ziqing said that he was referring to the side concubine, there was still something wrong with his eyebrows. Although she believed in Yuan Ziqing's feelings for herself, the man hugged her left and right, and Yuan Ziqing was still the blood of the heavenly family. She felt awkward, and she couldn't say anything about not letting people in.
But now that it's for children, those messy thoughts have to go backwards.
Yuan Ziqing thought for a while and said, "It's not enough to let these people do it directly, after all, he should know that we will be on guard." Most of the time it is to control me and separate the feelings of our husband and wife. If I really have someone else, even if you give birth to a child, you will have a dislike for me in your heart. If another woman gives birth to a child, maybe the Fu Wangfu will fall into the battle between the concubines. ”
At that time, the Fu Wangfu Mansion will naturally fall apart and will no longer become a major problem for the royal family.
Hearing Yuan Ziqing's analysis, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. She looked down at Yuan Ziqing, but saw that he had a faint expression on his face, and he didn't seem to care at all. It's just that...... It was too calm.
She knew he didn't really care. Yuan Ziqing was once poisoned in place of the emperor and almost died. In the end, although he did not die, he was also tortured for more than ten years. If it weren't for Yuan Ziqing, he would have to bear these sins, not to mention, a sick man, of course, would never be able to sit on the throne.
He owes Fu Wangfu and Yuan Ziqing.
And over the years, he has indeed attached great importance to Fuwangfu and favored Yuan Ziqing. Therefore, when Meibian first married in, he always felt that even if he was on guard out of caution for the monarch, the emperor had feelings for the Fu Wangfu and could not really do it.
So she wanted Yuan Ziqing to take precautions before, but she was actually worried that the emperor was not in good health, and if he died, the Fuwang Mansion would be targeted by the next king. But I didn't expect it...... The emperor couldn't help it now.
There was no such thing in his previous life, of course not, because Yuan Ziqing never married a wife, and even his body never improved...... So the emperor is not worried, Yuan Ziqing can't do anything big, and it is impossible to leave descendants. Although Yuan Zifang is not bad, but after all, he is a young son, and the title is passed to him, not for granted, but for the emperor's grace, and the meaning is different.
But things have changed in this life, Yuan Ziqing has recovered from his illness, married a wife, and now has children, so the emperor tore off the veil of warmth and affection, and did not hesitate to provoke Yuan Ziqing's disgust and wanted to stuff people around him.
Things in this world are truly wonderful, and many feelings really can't stand the test.
He stroked Yuan Ziqing's hair and comforted him, "Maybe it's not as bad as you think?" Maybe I really just care about you, after all, your body ......"
"You are kind enough to comfort me, but unfortunately you still think too well of people's hearts." Yuan Ziqing turned his head to look at each other with his eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "The emperor is afraid of the Fu Wangfu, it's not a matter of a day or two. "It's something that the whole family knows about it, so they're already very careful about what they do on a daily basis. It's a pity that in the end, the emperor still can't be reassured.
"But you're ...... for him after all"
Yuan Ziqing was silent for a while this time, and then said with a bit of self-deprecation, "Meibian, have you heard the story of 'Shengmi Endou Mi Hatred'?" Kindness and righteousness are the most difficult things in the world to measure. Too little will make people resentful, too much will not necessarily make people like. ”
In the emperor's opinion, all over the world, except for himself, everyone else is his courtier. King Fu is no exception, first of all, a courtier, and then a brother. Yuan Ziqing is first a courtier, and then a nephew.
Even if it is a folk, the nephew saved the uncle's life, and the uncle may be grateful at first and take care of him everywhere, but after a long time, he will be imprisoned by this kindness. He was impatient to continue to take care of his nephew, but he was afraid that others would say that he was ungrateful, so he still took care of it on his face, but in fact, he was afraid that he would have longed for his nephew to die. This kind of thought can't be expressed yet, so it can only be suppressed, suppressed and suppressed, and when it finally erupts, maybe he will kill his nephew directly with a knife.
Besides, this is in the royal family?
In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor's status is all thanks to Yuan Ziqing's earning for him. But would the emperor himself think so? He was afraid that he would think that this was what he deserved, and Yuan Ziqing, as a courtier, took it for granted that he would contribute to himself.
Of course, he will not be ungrateful in his heart, so he has favored Fuwangfu all these years. But after so many years, Enyi is about to turn into a coercion of Entu, binding his hands and feet, and the emperor is unwilling to endure it anymore.
"The most taboo thing in this world is the kindness owed to the servant, especially the great grace of life and death. It's the same for a monarch and a minister. Yuan Ziqing finally said, "Lady, think about it, if Xingyun saved your life, so you want to be treated special everywhere, put her in front of all the subordinates, and even faintly use this kindness to hold you hostage, asking you to do what she wants, after a long time, can you still tolerate it?" ”
"Xingyun won't ......"
"Neither will we." Yuan Ziqing laughed at himself, "But as long as the emperor thinks that we will, it will be enough." ”
Is it possible to go to him and defend himself? Even if it is said, I am afraid it will only be regarded as strong words. Would the Emperor really believe it?
Success is also kindness, and defeat is also kindness. Yuan Ziqing's existence is probably almost a knot in the emperor's heart. Of course, if he follows the track set by everyone, he can't be cured, and finally dies at a young age. Then even if he still marries and has children, the emperor will continue to be kind to his wife and children out of guilt.
But he was cured.
I'm afraid that the emperor is also annoyed by his ignorance, right?
But no one wants to die if they can live. Yuan Ziqing had already expected it from the day he was cured.
"Don't worry." He assured Meibian again, "I will protect you and the child in my belly." You just have to take care of it and give birth to the child in good health. ”
He hesitated for a moment and said, "If the emperor really has a tough attitude and wants to give people, you ...... You don't have to resist either. I always believe in you. ”
Disrespect is a capital offense.
Besides, when people enter the door, can the emperor still come to investigate how they lived? At that time, in the palace, it is not up to Yuan Ziqing to make her own decisions, as long as she is optimistic about the other party, there are no accidents, and after she gives birth, she will come to cook.
"I know what I know." Yuan Ziqing said.
Even if he said so, he would never agree to let people in. There is only one by his side, this is the promise he made to her before he got married, even if it is just to let other women occupy a position without any substantive relationship, that will not work.
Besides, Mei Bian is now talking so generously, but seeing how she acted in the past, it is clear that she can't rub sand in her eyes. If you really want to do this, sooner or later it will still become a knot between husband and wife, and that will be more than worth the loss.
"Do you have to discuss this matter with your father and grandmother?" He thought for a moment and asked.
Yuan Ziqing said, "I want to say it." But I'll go over it myself, you're heavy, and you're resting here. You don't have to go back and forth. ”
As he spoke, he was about to get up.
The eyebrows tugged at his sleeve, "Qinglang, don't fight against Your Majesty, saving your body is the most important thing." Remember what Yingyue said? It's a big deal to stabilize the emperor first, and then let's flee to Haizhou, and let Yingyue arrange for ships to go to sea and find an island to settle in. At that time, even the emperor couldn't control us. ”
Is it not the king's land under the whole world? The world is so big, and the person who said this is really a mouse-eyed and ridiculous.
Yuan Ziqing couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and pinched her nose, "Don't worry." Not to that point. ”
Regarding this matter, King Fu and Princess Fu have completely different views.
King Fu believes that this is a signal for the emperor to install people in King Fu's mansion, and he must not retreat at this time, take a step back, and if he wants to go back in the future, it will not be so easy. Sooner or later, the Fu Wangfu Mansion will be completely controlled by the emperor, and they will have no freedom at all. On the contrary, if the attitude is tough, this is a private matter after all, and the emperor is not good at forcing Yuan Ziqing, even if he is afraid in his heart, he will definitely not have a seizure because of this, and there is still time to turn around.
And Princess Fu believes that the emperor definitely doesn't want the child to be born. She suggested that Yuan Ziqing accept the emperor's opinion, and said that a few people would be accepted, and the emperor was temporarily appeased, making him feel that Yuan Ziqing didn't care so much about the eyebrows and the child in her belly. When the child is born, we will talk about anything else.
"Knowing that you are close to your daughter-in-law, those people have entered the mansion, even if you don't touch it, no one can say anything." Finally she said.
"Confused!" King Fu said, "Those women really entered the mansion, can they still stay in peace?" When the time comes, the chickens and dogs will jump at home, how will life be lived? If the daughter-in-law is frightened or depressed, is it good for the child in the womb? ”
"Having said that, but after entering the mansion, can't we still look at a few women? If the emperor is really annoyed by Meibian and the child, there are many ways to toss her, who can guarantee that the child will be able to keep it at that time? Princess Fu insisted on her opinion.
King Fu didn't want to talk to her, so he turned to the concubine, "Mother, what do you see?" ”
The concubine looked at Yuan Ziqing, "Boss, this is your own business, you can make up your mind." ”
"Grandmother, I won't let any woman have anything to do with me except her, even if it's just a superficial name." Motoko Qingdao.
Princess Fu frowned, "You all of you, why do you seem to have discussed it?" Don't you think about the safety of your daughter-in-law? Needless to say, as long as the queen sends her into the palace every day, she can still bear it for three or five days? ”
There are too many ways for women to toss women, and Princess Fu herself has not experienced much, but after all, her age is there, and she doesn't know how many she has seen and heard, and sometimes just thinking about it makes people shudder.
As soon as she said this, others were okay, but the concubine's face was really not good-looking. When she was in the palace, she had seen and even experienced these things with her own eyes, not too much. Even if she was protected by the Queen Mother later, the concubines who had children but were not in a high position were always taboo and hated by others, and they didn't know how many stumbling blocks there were in the open and in the dark.
So when she heard Princess Fu say this, she couldn't help but worry.
Yuan Ziqing said lightly, "When the time comes, as long as she says that she is not in good health, has a fetal gas, and wants to recuperate in bed, can the emperor still let people carry her into the palace?" ”
"Now that you've figured it out, do what you want." King Fu stood up as he spoke, said goodbye to the concubine, and left.
Princess Fu followed behind him, seeing that he never spoke, knowing that he had touched his heart again, she couldn't help but sigh, "Although I knew that there would be such a day, I really didn't expect it to come so soon." ”
"You didn't expect that? I've thought of it a long time ago. King Fu said lightly, "I know his character better than anyone else." ”
This "he" refers to the emperor.
He has been intelligent and stoic since he was a child, and no matter what he thinks in his heart, his face will never show it, even the people closest to him may not be able to guess it. And this qiē is all for that position, for this thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains.
So whether it is King Fu or the emperor, there is always a knot in the depths of his heart - if it wasn't for Yuan Ziqing who inadvertently ate something poisonous, if it was indeed the emperor who was poisoned in the first place, then, who is the most likely person to succeed him as the emperor?
- King Fu.
So will King Fu poison his brother for the sake of the throne? The emperor was never clear. But the last person who was poisoned was Yuan Ziqing, if it wasn't for King Fu, it would be a disaster. If so, he had already received retribution, so the emperor acted as if he had never thought about it from beginning to end.
But really haven't thought about it?
Even King Fu himself, when he knelt down in front of the emperor many times, didn't he think about that possibility - the emperor was poisoned, so maybe the person who became the emperor was himself?
Perhaps this is the most fundamental reason why their brothers are extremely close to outsiders, but they have always been estranged from each other.
The scenery of King Fu's Mansion is all for outsiders to see. The emperor needs such a person to show his benevolence and generosity, is there a more suitable object than the Fu Wangfu? But this is just a horse bone that he put out and bought with his daughter, whether he likes it in his heart, who knows?
This question is too complicated for even those in the middle of it to be clear. Just like the emperor, for so many years of favoritism and care for the Fuwang Mansion, is it really not a point of affection? But when it's time to start, it's just as resolute and leaves no room for it.
After thinking about it, no one did anything wrong, as if no one could blame it.
So King Fu didn't have too many thoughts over the years, as long as the family was smooth and smooth, he was satisfied. He didn't mind being a little low in front of the emperor.
But after all, it still came to this day.
Although Princess Fu doesn't know the emperor as well as King Fu, she still knows a little, "Several princes of Ziqing's generation, except for the prince's two daughters and one son, none of them have children. Even the prince's one didn't crawl out of the crown princess's belly. If Meibian gives birth to a son, he can be regarded as the first person in this generation. ”
Is it any wonder that the emperor was taboo?
Although it may be difficult for King Fu to rebel today, the precautions that should be taken will not be reduced in the slightest.
Sometimes...... It doesn't have to be a rebellion to get there. If there is no virtuous person among the princes who can take on the big responsibility, or if something happens to them, when the time comes, the clan will nominate him, and King Fu will definitely be the first candidate. Besides, no matter his reputation among the people, maybe when the time comes, who will remember him as the emperor?
King Fu was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay for a gentleman to have a daughter." ”
Princess Fu was a little unhappy, "Giving birth to a daughter, the emperor can certainly explain the past temporarily, but won't he give birth in the future?" Besides, Ziqing is already twenty-three years old this year, if it drags on any longer, how long will it last? ”
"Let's talk about it. Giving birth to a boy or a girl is not something we can decide with our mouths. "Fu Wang said.
Compared with the entanglement between King Fu and Princess Fu, Yuan Ziqing has a lot less distractions in his heart. His wife and children, he must protect them, and he doesn't want any of the people given by the emperor, just these two points.
After returning to the Hidden Bamboo Garden and falling asleep beside his eyebrows, Yuan Ziqing went to the study for a busy night. So the next day, when he appeared in front of his colleagues with a haggard face, everyone was taken aback. The size of the Shushu Academy has expanded a lot, and the number of people has also increased a lot. So the news that Yuan Ziqing accompanied and took care of him all night quickly spread and then entered the palace.
The emperor called Yuan Ziqing again, and then called out the four maidservants, "I heard that the princess is not in good health and has fetal gas, you take care of it personally?" If you stay up like this, your body won't be able to stand it. These four palace maids have all been trained/trained in the palace, and they are quick with their hands and feet, and they are the most able to serve people. Take it back and serve your daughter-in-law, and take care of your own body. Then he was rewarded with a bunch of medicinal herbs.
Because this time it was a servant girl, and the name was to be given to Meibian, Yuan Ziqing couldn't refuse. Can you still say clearly, "I'm afraid that your people will harm my daughter-in-law, so I don't dare to ask for it"? Besides, since the emperor is giving people openly, it seems that he doesn't seem to have any intention of doing anything to the eyebrows, otherwise it would be too obvious, after all, everyone is not blind.
So Yuan Ziqing had no choice but to lead the person back. But she didn't let them go to King Fu's mansion, but brought them back to the courtyard where the book was repaired, and let the four of them sit here to serve tea and water. - Now that I am busy with work, I am very busy with miscellaneous work, and I would have to do these things myself, but now that I have a handmaid, I have saved a lot of trouble.
Worried that these maidservants are taking advantage of the terrain to seduce Yuan Ziqing? His Royal Highness the Prince of the World now works in the hall, and there are old adults with gray hair and beards on the front and back, and even if they want to seduce, they can't do it.
Besides, by Yuan Ziqing's side, there is Qingyun who is specially serving, even if it is a matter of serving tea and pouring water, it will not be the turn of these maids.
After solving this matter, Yuan Ziqing went back to the palace to see Meibian and talk to her about this matter. Although he has already arranged it, and has a clear conscience, there are countless witnesses, and he does not have to worry about what will happen, but he should also explain it, so as not to hear it from others in the future, maybe add fuel and vinegar, and make trouble for himself.
After hearing about his arrangement, Meibian couldn't help but quip, "Four girls who are like flowers and jade, go to accompany those old men to repair books, it's too beautiful." ”
