Chapter 50: Telling

So at this moment, the emperor was very happy to see Empress Chen. Empress Chen smiled gently at the emperor and said, "The biggest thing in this palace is the emperor's business." What can be bigger than the emperor's affairs? How could the concubines not come to see the emperor? ”

The Emperor was very satisfied. In the interval between the emperor and the empress saying these two words, all the palace maids and eunuchs, and the people who were waiting, had already left the palace automatically. When the queen mother came to visit the emperor, most of the time in front of many people. Sometimes, the empress wants to discuss military affairs with the emperor, and at this time, the people who have to serve are gone. Generally, the great eunuch Huang Chun will be by his side. However, today, the prince called Huang Chun to ask about the matter.

In advance, the first-class palace maids in Empress Chen's palace came to inform the queen that the queen had something to tell the emperor, so after the queen arrived, these palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly retreated.

Empress Chen remained silent, pretending not to see this scene, and continued: "Princess Huichuan has just been here before, right? ”

The emperor couldn't help but be full of joy at the mention of this daughter, and he said a few interesting things about Princess Huichuan. The queen laughed too. also praised Princess Huichuan a few words. The emperor liked to be praised by others most of all, and when he heard it, he fell into a trance, and did not notice that the people around him had gone down.

The queen said as she looked at the side door of the palace, and after a while, a pretty figure stood there, her face was calm, and this person was the palace maid Yu'er, she nodded slightly.

Empress Chen nodded slightly to Yu'er while talking to the emperor.

Yu'er immediately understood. A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed on his calm face, both frightened and excited. However, many years of career in the palace have already trained her. She quickly suppressed the love in her heart, turned around, and quietly walked out of the dormitory. Waiting vigilantly outside the door.

At present, it seems that the situation is very good, the imperial doctor has fallen asleep in the side hall, and the most loyal Huang Chun is still in the prince's east palace. The palace maids and eunuchs who served the emperor and the palace maids and eunuchs who came with the queen were all standing ten zhang away from the main hall. Such a distance. The doors and windows of the dormitory are closed. They won't hear a sound.

This moment is the most critical moment, Yu'er couldn't help but be a little excited, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked around vigilantly. Years of preparation are just for this day, and there can be no problems. She is the most trusted person of Empress Chen. She is here to guard the door for Queen Chen. It is the most reassuring for Queen Chen.

There was no sound in the side hall. Want. The queen is still talking to the emperor. As long as their volume is not loud, it cannot be heard outside. Yu'er was very relieved.

At this moment, in the Qinzheng Palace, Empress Chen was saying what the emperor liked to hear. While paying attention to Yu'er's movements, seeing Yu'er go out of the door, he also closed the door carefully, leaving no gaps, in the Qinzheng Palace, there were already people sent by Yu'er who closed the windows, and now as long as it is not too loud, it should not be heard outside.

At this time, the emperor and her were left in the entire Qinzheng Palace.

Thinking of this, Empress Chen's face couldn't help but flush a little.

Empress Chen slowly stood up, smelled the smell of spices burning in the palace, and smiled slightly. Because the emperor was sick, there was a great smell in the palace, there was a sick person's body odor, and there was a medicinal smell, so incense should be burned to dispel those smells.

Empress Chen suddenly turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember what happened when I first entered the Prince's East Palace?" ”

Empress Chen rarely mentioned this in front of the emperor, so the emperor was stunned. Just now I was talking about the emperor's favorite princess Huichuan, how did it happen that in a blink of an eye, the queen talked about what happened decades ago.

However, the emperor glanced at Empress Chen, who looked extraordinarily beautiful today, and said, "I am already old, and I am dying, but the empress is still as beautiful as when she first entered the East Palace." The plum blossom dress that the queen is wearing today is very good-looking. I didn't know that you were so suitable for plum blossoms. I always thought you were a good fit for Peony. Graceful and luxurious, the pearl of wisdom is in hand. I remember that when you first entered the East Palace, you were wearing a dress with a rich peony blooming pattern, which was very beautiful. ”

Empress Chen smiled and said, "Yes, the emperor still remembers the clothes that his concubines wore back then. That dress was made for me by my family in order to please me and hope that I would continue to be rich and noble in the palace. When the emperor saw it, he praised the concubine, saying that the clothes were very suitable for the concubine, and the concubine was like a peony flower, graceful and luxurious. From that time on, in order to cater to the emperor's interest, I always wore clothes with big flowers such as peonies and peonies. Actually, my favorite is plum blossoms. ”

The emperor couldn't help but be stunned, after so many years, he really didn't know that what Queen Chen liked was plum blossoms. He said: "It turns out that the queen likes plum blossoms, why don't you tell me?" I thought that only Concubine Qian liked plum blossoms. ”

Empress Chen didn't care and said: "I like plum blossoms the most, not only plum blossoms, but also small and fragrant flowers, especially white fragrant flowers, such as jasmine and nightshade." However, the emperor thought that I was most suitable for those large and gorgeous flowers, such as peonies, peonies, and roses. I can only like these peonies and other flowers. One qiē is all to cater to the emperor. ”

Hearing this, the emperor was a little surprised, what's wrong with the empress today? How can such a thing be said?

Empress Chen continued: "Although I have changed a lot for the sake of the emperor. However, I still really changed. Because the emperor is so heroic, wise, and pampered me. I feel very happy. With such a good husband. The emperor is the best man in the world for his concubines. How obsessed I am with the emperor. ”

Listening to Empress Chen's explicit confession, the emperor was even more shocked, he said: "The empress's heart is understood. ”

Empress Chen did not answer the emperor's words, but continued: "Of course, such a good man is not an ordinary man, he is the crown prince of the East Palace, there is the first emperor above to govern, and the harem also has Empress Li intervening, the previous dynasty has family constraints, and there are a bunch of brothers below who are eyeing his position." In order to keep the man I love the most, I accept that he has other women, such as his original partner Lee. That's the daughter of the Li family. For example, Wang Liangdi, Bai Liangdi. ”

Although these words made the emperor strange, they also brought the emperor to those days in the East Palace. It was a difficult time, and there were crises all the time. At any time, his position as prince will be lost. He can only be cautious and carefully maintain all aspects of the relationship. At that time, Empress Chen really gave him a lot of help. In addition to giving him the full support of the Chen family, he also gave him wisdom and helped him through every difficulty.

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes couldn't help but warm up a lot when he looked at Empress Chen.

Empress Chen didn't notice the emperor's affectionate gaze. In fact, even if she noticed, she would not be moved by the emperor's affection.

She just continued: "At that time, the emperor encountered many problems, and I did my best to help the emperor solve them. Because of my wisdom, the emperor has always favored me. I gave birth to Princess Lichuan, the eldest daughter of the emperor. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Lichuan is my favorite princess. She is the pride of Da Chu. ”

Empress Chen said: "At that time, everyone thought that in the future, I would threaten the position of the crown princess Li. Because the Li family has never had children, and I have Lichuan. Other Wang Liangdi, Bai Liangdi and others have no way to compare with me. I'm smarter than them all, and I'm better looking than them. None of them have children, and I already have Lichuan. It's just a pity, Lichuan is a princess. If I were a prince, I would definitely be able to use this to become the queen in the future. I'm confident. My family, the Chen family, is also very confident. Because the Li family is not favored, everyone knows it. Since I can give birth to a daughter and my health is good, I will definitely be able to give birth to a son in the future. ”

The emperor listened, and did not make a sound, but felt very strange.

Empress Chen said: "Later, I really gave birth to the emperor. How good-looking, how cute, and so obedient he is. It has the noble bloodline of the Li family, the royal Liu family, and the Chen family. How good my emperor is. He was very smart at a very young age, he learned to speak, and he was very early. Less than a year old can speak. At that time, the emperor loved the emperor so much. ”

When she said this, Empress Chen's face was full of happy memories, and the emperor also remembered his first son, but unfortunately, he died too early, and the emperor couldn't remember the appearance of that little face. Seeing the queen like this, the emperor also felt a little pity for the queen, and said: "The emperor is very good, but he has already gone to the ancestors, so the queen should not forget it." ”

Empress Chen smiled sadly and said, "The emperor has so many children, of course he will forget my emperor?" However, I only have this one emperor, how can I forget jì? How proud I was when I first gave birth to the emperor. I'm the luckiest man in the world. I was born in a noble family, and when I entered the East Palace, I was favored by the prince. gave birth to a daughter and a son successively, and I was the only one in the entire East Palace who had children, or two. In the future, I must be the queen of Da Chu. Both the government and the opposition think so. ”

The Emperor did not say anything.

Empress Chen said: "At that time, looking at my emperor's little face, I was imagining that my emperor will grow up in the future, and when the emperor succeeds to the throne, I will definitely be able to become the queen with the emperor. My emperor will become the crown prince, and my Lichuan will become the eldest princess. The two of them work together for the future of Da Chu. It's like the current eldest princess and the emperor. ”

The Emperor frowned. (To be continued......)
