Chapter 495: The Past
"If it weren't for them, I don't think I would have been able to hold on to it now, but I just don't feel like it in my heart, Gonggong Xue, what was my father and mother like at that time?" Qi You, who was in his forties, suddenly became interested in the early years of Emperor Xian and Concubine Chen like a child.
Gonggong Xue was slightly stunned and said, "Why does the emperor ask that?" ”
"I just want to know what my father and mother looked like back then, and what they looked like when they were in love." Qi You seemed to be looking for something.
Xue Gonggong frowned slightly, as if he was caught in a memory, and after a long time, Xue Gonggong spoke: "Actually, the emperor and Concubine Chen were indeed a couple who loved each other very much, but it's a pity that the emperor was too careless and failed to protect Concubine Chen, so after Concubine Chen passed away, the emperor has been living in deep remorse and longing, and has suffered for twenty years, fortunately, there is still your existence, you are the only bit of light in the emperor's life." ”
"Father is too careless?" Qi You seems to have heard a different version today.
"Yes, in fact, Concubine Chen entered the palace a little later than the Queen Mother, and at that time, it had not yet been established, and everyone coveted the highest position in the harem, the Queen Mother at that time...... Profound...... It is not accurate to say that the Liu family and your mother Concubine Chen Niangniang were the two hottest candidates at that time, and your father actually had a fixed number in his heart, because he especially loved and cherished your mother Concubine Chen, so he had already decided that Concubine Chen was the queen, and the holy decree at that time had already been drafted, and it was only stamped and announced, thinking ...... "Xue Gonggong paused for a moment.
"Thinking about what?" Qi You asked.
"Thinking about it, after Concubine Chen gave birth to Lin'er. It was canonized directly, but I didn't expect that the Liu family at that time had such evil intentions in order to fight for power and power, and wanted to harm you and Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen took a sip and realized that something was wrong. Therefore, the poison did not endanger you, but unfortunately this poison still caused Concubine Chen's dystocia and hemorrhage, although it saved your life, but Concubine Chen died shortly after giving birth to you. Then. Liu was also about to give birth because of inner fear. It's a pity that I don't know if it's heaven or man, she killed her own child because she accidentally inhaled poison in herself, and Qi Shen was born like a dead baby. Or the ...... who came back from the first aid rescue in turns"
"So, the Queen Mother has always been ashamed?" Qi You asked.
Xue Gonggong said: "If it is for you, for the emperor, for Concubine Chen, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not slowly regret it until you grow up, if it is Qi Shen, the Queen Mother will indeed regret beating him as soon as he was born." ”
"Hehe, I naturally mean her guilt for Qi Shen, as for her father, mother, and me, I don't care at all." Qi You smiled slightly.
"Actually, the first emperor was already aware of Concubine Chen's violent death, and later found conclusive evidence, but the first emperor did not directly execute them, but took the most torturous way, raised Qi Shen to Concubine Taide, and put you under the name of the queen mother, not only let the queen mother taste the pain of being close to the flesh and blood but not recognizing, but also let her raise you, bear all the suffering after the victim, but the person who hates the most has to take care of it with heart, and even the old slave can feel the sense of grievance." Xue Gonggong commented truthfully.
"Even so, he can't be happier anymore, Father, hasn't he?" Qi You could understand the feeling of losing his beloved, because he had almost followed in the footsteps of his father, but fortunately, God treated him well, and still let his beloved survive well.
"Hey...... The emperor has always felt it, right? Xue Gonggong asked.
Hearing this, Qi You glanced at Gonggong Xue curiously, and then said with a smile: "You have seen it all?" ”
Gonggong Xue also smiled and said: "The old slave has been serving the first emperor all the time, and you are by your side, and the old slave will know something after watching it for a long time." ”
Qi You smiled helplessly: "Hey...... I really can't hide your eyes! ”
Gonggong Xue smiled and said: "That's because the first emperor and you both have special trust in the old slave, so they are willing to reveal the truest emotions in front of the old slave, just like the emperor's face is full of sorrow now." ”
Qi You said helplessly: "Hey...... How can I not worry, although the matter of Qi Zhe and the second prince has been dealt with, but they are the royal heirs, and they are of a very high rank, although the courtiers don't seem to have any big opinions, but it is not difficult to ensure that they will have any discussions and ideas in private, besides, you have also seen that this queen and the queen mother are not people who can be quiet, I am not afraid of them making trouble, I just don't want to trouble anymore. ”
Gonggong Xue bowed and said slightly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's actions just now can be understood, after all, she owes a lot to Qi Shen in her heart, and now Qi Shen is imprisoned and deposed because of her previous misdeeds, how can she be at ease." ”
"In the heart of the Queen Mother, I can understand, it's just that I don't want to make an irreparable situation, since my father doesn't want the world to know about the past, then I naturally have to follow my father's wishes, in fact, I don't want to make that past public anymore, now that the affairs of the dynasty have stabilized, I don't want to have other things interfere with the process in the future, let alone affect Yue'er and their generation." Qi You thinks about it for the long term.
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard for the four princes." Grandpa Xue said with sincere admiration.
"Hey...... Yue'er is the son of me and the concubine, although the concubine has never wanted Yue'er to get involved in court affairs, but now it seems that it was indeed a good choice to choose Yue'er at the beginning. When Qi You talked about Qi Huanyue's son, there was obviously a little more praise and love in his eyes.
Gonggong Xue waved the dust and said: "The four princes are wise and loyal, and they are really a good choice, but this is also inseparable from the deliberate cultivation of the emperor!" ”
"He has to be a seedling, just like the eldest prince and the second prince, in terms of intelligence and intelligence, they are indeed not bad with Yue'er, but in terms of temperament, only Yue'er is a child who is open-minded and can calm down, which may be related to the teaching of the concubine, he is more stable and resilient than others, after all, the emperor is not something that everyone can do, without this endurance, this throne may not be able to sit safely." Qi You has an indescribable favor for Qi Huanyue.
"This is also, looking at the concubine Niangniang, although she is a delicate woman, but she is not stunned at all when she really encounters a big event, she has the style of behind the door, and this is dressed up seriously, and there is some shocking and frightening aura, not afraid of the emperor's jokes, that night terror palace, the old slave is not afraid of anything else, except that he suddenly saw the majestic concubine, this heart is really shocked, the heroic posture and domineering between the eyebrows, it can really be called a woman who does not let the eyebrows, now in retrospect, there is still a little chill." Father-in-law Xue also appreciates and respects Xibao very much.
"It was really embarrassing for her that night, such a little woman had to shoulder such a heavy responsibility and bear such pressure, it was indeed a little wronged by her." Qi You felt a little remorseful when he thought of that night.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the concubine again?" Gonggong Xue knew that this concubine was the biggest calamity in Qi You's life, and he couldn't escape and was reluctant to escape, although he scratched his heart and lungs, he was also willing.
"It's been three days, but that girl is still ...... Ay...... I'm not good and pretending to be sick to deceive her. "Qi You really doesn't treat Grandpa Xue as an outsider.
"Uh......" Xue Gonggong heard this, the corners of his mouth were really twitching, this dignified Ninety-Five, in order to make his beloved woman happy, he did not hesitate to lie and pretend to be sick, and this is not once or twice, and now he wants to repeat his old tricks, hey...... Having said that, this concubine is so smart and icy, if she didn't really care, how could she be deceived and frightened, but this time I'm afraid it's difficult, because the concubine didn't plan to deal with the emperor at all, this is obviously a cold treatment, hey...... This is really the most troublesome, especially for a minion like them who is extremely worried about the master's mood, it is indeed very troublesome.
Seeing that Gonggong Xue didn't respond, Qi You was a little embarrassed and said: "Hehe, forget about this, it is estimated that this time it is really sick, and she will not believe it, so let's think of other ways." ”
Gonggong Xue looked at Qi You's worried appearance and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't think about going around in circles, no matter how much you describe this matter, you can't cover up the facts, now the most important thing is the thoughts in the heart of the concubine, instead of worrying and anxious here, it is really better to go to the concubine to explain well, even if it is a big quarrel, at least it will break the situation, right?" ”
"I hope she can quarrel with me and make trouble with me, but Yun Tilt doesn't, I don't worry about anything else, I'm afraid that if she holds it in her heart for a long time, she will hold back something wrong, and then it will be troublesome." Qi You is most worried about Xibao's body.
Gonggong Xue could only smile and said: "Actually, the emperor really doesn't have to worry, there are many people who are more anxious about this matter than you, let them go to you first, maybe the situation will be much better if you go again." ”
"Hey...... I've thought about it too, but it's a pity that this girl is very stubborn once she has a temperament, and no persuasion will be in vain, unless she thinks it out in her own heart. "Qi You knows Xibao's temperament very well.
"In that case, what else is the emperor worried about?" Xue Gonggong didn't understand.
"I'm worried that this time it's too big, and this girl will have to take a long time to digest, hey...... I can afford to wait, but I'm afraid the girl's body can't stand it! Qi You frowned distressedly.
"Hey...... Your Majesty, if the concubine knew that you were so affectionate, she would not have been angry a long time ago. Father-in-law Xue said with some emotion.
"Hey...... Let's hope. Qi You is still a little weak-hearted.
Xue Gonggong didn't answer again, this master and servant, a young man and an old man were full of tacit understanding, and they all naturally quieted down, and the slight cool breeze in the hall was blowing as usual, Qi You and Xue Gonggong seemed to be in their own contemplation.
The night was still deep, and the entire palace was quiet, and those who should have rested fell asleep one after another, but the queen of the Kunning Palace had just woken up.
Hit last night back to late this night, a whole day has passed, the queen has been in a state of confusion, has been waiting for the doctor to come to diagnose and treat, to determine that it is excessive sadness, exhaustion, physical exhaustion not long after, the queen will fall asleep, during the red note has been feeding the queen to take medicine, the end of the day, the queen finally woke up.
