Volume 1: Painting Tang Chun Chapter 11: The Life of King Heng

After saying this, the two never communicated anything again, and each found a piece of land and sat on the ground. Qingxi kept her eyes closed, but she was always awake, she desperately thought about the strange things in Tiannan and Haibei, in order to dilute the existence of a person around her, and also temporarily escape from tonight's sudden adventure.

Xiao Yizheng kept his eyes open. I don't know how long it took, he heard the sound of even breathing of the people around him, and tilted his head slightly, it was obvious that this Miss Ling family still couldn't resist the sleepiness, and fell asleep unwillingly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed softly, raised the corners of his mouth by an arc, and closed his eyes slightly.

"Lord Wang?" A light call woke up Qingxi. She opened her eyes suddenly, and it took her some time to figure out where she was, and to understand her current situation. As soon as she got up, she saw that Xiao Yizheng had already walked to the door.

"I'm here." He whispered. "Go find a way to open this lock, and open it intact."

"Yes"

There was no sound outside the door immediately, Xiao Yizheng turned to look at Qingxi, and said, "I will be able to go out soon." ”

Qingxi nodded.

He said quickly, and sure enough, the door opened. Xiao Yizheng stepped out and explained to the visitor: "You take care of the aftermath, and you don't show any traces." ”

The other party nodded, tilted his head and looked at Qingxi who was following him, and was surprised: "Lord Wang, this?" ”

Xiao Yizheng stared at him and said lightly: "When you don't see anything!" ”

When you don't see anything? Qingxi's heart rose with displeasure again, how could he let others not see such a big living person? It's infuriating that there's nothing wrong with him saying this, and he should even say it, but can't he be more soothing in tone? She pursed her lips, realizing that she really shouldn't care, so she lowered her head slightly and followed his footsteps.

When he returned to the residence of the crown prince and the crown princess, Qingxi was arranged in a wing room, and Xiao Yizheng only left one sentence: "Miss Ling, rest well, when the sun rises, forget everything in this night." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Forget? It's so lightweight.

She was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. Thinking that I could fall asleep dimly in the library just now, I was shocked to feel incredible, and now I really don't feel sleepy at all. She was keeping her eyes wide open until a glimmer of light shone into the room.

As soon as the sun rose, there was a knock on her door.

Ling Qingxi opened the door and saw Shen Tong standing at the door, slightly stunned.

Shen Tong greeted him with a smile: "I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

Qingxi looked confused, only to see that after she ordered her entourage to wait outside the door, she entered the door alone, and continued: "Said that you went back last night and got lost, and ran into King Heng, so you sent you to rest with me again?" Shen Tong looked at her as if she didn't wake up, and privately thought that she was ashamed of getting lost, so she was relieved: "Don't worry, as far as I and the people around me know, the people around me won't talk nonsense, and they won't let you lose face because of getting lost!" As he spoke, he pulled her to sit down and pushed the food he brought to her: "The prince didn't come back last night, I woke up early, and when I woke up, I heard that the sixth emperor brother came last night, saying that he came to apologize in person, and his prince brother was drunk and couldn't come back. ”

Qingxi only realized at this time that the rhetoric arranged by the Sixth Highness was to arrange her as a cowardly and stupid person, but she couldn't refute it yet.

"I'm surprised that you're crying because you're lost?" Shen Tong frowned slightly, both puzzled and teasing.

She quickly put away her resentment, bowed her head and said, "It's still thanks to His Royal Highness King Heng." "She really didn't want to deceive Shen Tong, so she could only be so vague." Sister Tong, I think I'd better go back later. ”

Shen Tong thought that she was really embarrassed, so she didn't ask more about this matter, and said gently: "It's still early, let's eat something first." Later, I will go to greet the queen mother, and I will send you back. ”

Qingxi nodded, but he was really in no mood for breakfast. She bit her lip, locked her eyebrows and asked, "His Royal Highness King Heng, he seems to have a good relationship with the prince's brothers?"

Shen Tong's hand moving his chopsticks paused, and then looked at Qingxi with a smile: "What?" People sent you back, are you curious about him? ”

This sentence made Qingxi stunned, she really didn't mean that!

"Heng'er, King Heng is not a good match!" Shen Tong said leisurely.

King Heng is not a good match. This sentence is the second time that Shen Tong has mentioned it.

"What do I mean? It's just that the deeds of His Royal Highness King Heng, I have heard a lot in Meijinglou, and it is normal to be a little curious!" She pulled away her smile and said calmly.

"Oh? Just listen to those deeds. Shen Tong thought about it for a while, thinking that the King Heng in the storyteller's mouth was probably the person in the dreams of countless girls. Do you know his background? Shen Tong's face became solemn.

Qingxi's eyes froze, King Heng's life experience? She knows a thing or two.

Hengwang Xiao Yizheng's biological mother is Queen Xiaoyi. Empress Xiaoyi's life is also quite mysterious and legendary.

She has never set foot in the palace, her background is unknown, her name is unknown, although everyone has their own speculation, but most of them dare not talk about it. What I know for sure is that Xiao Zhe, who was still the crown prince back then, went to Jiangnan and brought her back. Since then, she has been the heart of the suave crown prince. And the crown princess at that time was the current queen Yuan.

Later, Xiao Zhe became the emperor, but it is very strange that this beautiful woman did not enter the palace and was not entitled, but has been living in a large courtyard on the outskirts of Shangdu, called the Heart Garden. This house has now been given to King Heng. Although he was busy with government affairs, the emperor still worked tirelessly to visit her every once in a while. The officials of the DPRK and China were quite complaining, but the emperor's attitude on this matter was unusually tough.

In the sixth year of Yongning, this beautiful woman died of incense, and the emperor was grief-stricken, and he tried his best to posthumously crown her as Empress Xiaoyi. After the death of his biological mother, King Heng was taken back to the palace by the emperor and taught him personally, and the queen cared for him in his daily life.

"The crown prince once warned me that it was a taboo for King Heng's biological mother to be in the palace. Since her death, no one has dared to mention it lightly. It is said that she abandoned her parents and followed her father back to Shangdu, which is what the folk call elopement. But think about it, what kind of identity did my father have back then, he was the crown prince! Why did you elope? There's a story to tell. King Heng's life experience will be somewhat embarrassing. ”

"Anything else?" Qingxi frowned slightly.

"I said this to you, because of our friendship, out of this door, you can't spread it."

"That's nature. I know the weight. In this way, the holy favor he and his mother received will also make the people in the harem uncomfortable somewhat, right? ”

"There are few masters in the harem, and almost all of them were accepted when their father was in the palace. In fact, since the death of Empress Xiaoyi, the one who can enter the eyes of his father is the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, Concubine Nian. When Shen Tong said this, his eyes were filled with deep feelings, and he said affectionately with a little envy: "It is said that Concubine Nian looks like Queen Xiaoyi. You said, it is rare for the emperor to have such affection. ”

Qingxi pursed his lips, as if he didn't agree: "For that Nian Concubine Niangniang, it's not a blessing!" She raised her eyes and saw that Shen Tong didn't seem to hear her words, and she was still immersed in her emotions, so she said in a harmonious voice: "Sister Tong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also be a person who values love and righteousness, and you, too, will be so affectionate!" ”

Shen Tong eased up at this time, and the corner of his mouth smiled faintly, "Marrying into the emperor's family, if you want to be so affectionate, you won't be able to get along with yourself." You are right, the father's deep affection for Empress Xiaoyi is a harm to the queen mother and the concubine. ”

"So the queen mother to King Heng?" Qingxi's question arises again.

"He also grew up with his mother. In my opinion, the queen mother treated him very well. On several occasions, when I was serving at my mother's side, I could hear her mention King Heng, and I was always worried that he would not be able to take care of himself when he was out alone. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and this younger brother also have a deep brotherly relationship, and often talk to me about him. Shen Tong saw that Qingxi nodded after listening, so he held his cheeks, as if he was thinking about some major problem, and continued: "King Heng, he has been traveling abroad in the past few years, and I still saw him on the wedding day, and then he came back this time, we have met twice." I know that his appearance and bearing are extremely attractive to the girls' families. However, Heng'er, I can tell you that my father promised his mother that he would have to decide his own marriage. And over the years, he has traveled chicly, and in my opinion, there may be confidants everywhere in this river and lake. Even if there is a female official in this palace, every time he returns to the palace, he will find an opportunity to look at it twice and say a few more words. She sighed softly, "I always thought that you might be unique." ”

Qingxi looked up and saw that Shen Tong had a desire to say goodbye, and immediately understood her intentions. It is difficult for Shen Tong to achieve that single-mindedness in herself or in this life, but she hopes that she can have it. Qingxi's heart was full of warmth, and he shook Shen Tong's hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "Sister Tong, do you really think I will move that thought?" ”

Shen Tong herself smiled, yes, the Qingxi she knew was a big idea, and she thought about it a lot.

"Don't worry! I don't agree with that Heng King! She remembered what happened last night, and felt even more so, and subconsciously nodded her head.
