She was born in a happy family, although it is located in Haizhou is a little remote, but it is also a daughter of an official eunuch, she should have found a family to marry, but in that year her identity changed dramatically. And he has long been the Ninety-Five, seven years ago he ascended the throne as the emperor, when he was only seven years old, but for the interests of the royal family to declare that he was nine years old, after seven years he was happy, Wang Zhen played with him, there was food for him to taste, and a high-powered minister prayed for him to bow down.
On the third day of the fifth month of the seventh year of orthodoxy, the British public Zhang Fu was the main envoy, and Yang Shiqi, the secretary of the Young Division Military Department and the scholar of Huagai Palace, was the deputy envoy. On the seventh day of the same month of the same year, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was the chief envoy, Yang Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and Guo Ra, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was the deputy envoy.
On May 19 of the same year, the British public Zhang Fu was the chief envoy, Yang Shiqi and Wang Zuo, the head of the household department, were the deputy envoys, and led the honor guard Yamato to place the dragon pavilion of the queen's book treasure and the hundred civil and military officials, as well as the Qian Mansion to send a book to greet the ceremony. In the congratulations of the civil and military officials inside and outside the women, she was dressed in a real red large-sleeved shirt, a red Luo long skirt at the hem, and a red gown on her chest, and was welcomed into the Forbidden City in Beijing in a jubilant atmosphere, becoming the queen of the world.
At this moment, he is happy, because he has his own queen, and the days in a few years will remind him countless times of today's unprecedented marriage, whether it is miserable or sad, he has not forgotten his queen, and she is indeed worthy of this thought. At this moment, she is also happy, the emperor and the ancestors were married long before they ascended the throne, and she was the first person in the history of the Ming Dynasty to directly become the queen - the emperor's first marriage. The ceremony was solemn and majestic. The whole world celebrates laughter and songs, and she has become the object of envy and jealousy in every woman's mouth, and she has also become the mother of the country admired by thousands of people.
In the days that followed, they were affectionate, and he still loved her even when the other concubines gave birth to a dragon seed for him, and her belly did not move. He hoped to pass on his throne to the son born to his wife. But all the changes came so quickly, and fate made them together and separated, which was really a trick.
He - Emperor Zhu Qizhen, she - Empress Qian.
On the night before the expedition, Qian snuggled tightly to Zhu Qizhen's side, and kept instructing in Zhu Qizhen's ear, Zhu Qizhen just smiled and kept nodding in agreement, and finally Qian said a sentence to Zhu Qizhen, which was touching but simple: "Wait for you to come back." ”
Zhu Qizhen was defeated in Tumu Fort and was captured by Wara, the Qian family was terrified, for fear that those barbaric Warat people would torture their lovers, and when they first asked Daming for ransom, only the Qian family sold the jewelry and property, and gave it to Yexian in exchange for not his husband, but Wara's endless greed.
The Qian family had no choice, but what she begged the ministers in exchange for was just an embarrassed face, and sometimes she would coldly mock a few words to criticize Zhu Qizhen for reusing Wang Zhen to kill Zhongliang. Qian also remembered that Zhu Qizhen's trusted good brother Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Qizhen handed over the people of the prison country to Zhu Qiyu on the eve of the expedition, and now Zhu Qiyu has become the real ruler of the Ming Dynasty, Qian kindly thought that Zhu Qiyu and she were as eager as she was looking forward to Zhu Qizhen's return to the dynasty, but what greeted her was an indifferent face and a silent answer.
Orthodox fourteen years, that year he was unlucky, and she was unlucky. He was captured, she lost her husband, and Qian and Zhu Qizhen fell from heaven to hell.
Qian had no choice, she begged for everyone she could, and she did everything she could, so she began to pray to heaven day and night that Zhu Qizhen could be released as soon as possible. She has no one to talk to, the harem concubines are all in danger, and the Qian family's brother Qian Qin and Qian Zhong were also killed in the battle of Tumubao, no one can discuss, let alone understand the distress of this helpless woman. She was twenty-three that year, and he was twenty-four (falsely reported to be two years old).
Qian prayed day and night, kept buttoning her head, and when she was tired, she knelt on the cold ground for a while, refusing to go to bed to rest, and she washed her face with tears all day long, crying to the gods about her four years to her husband. Her treatment is getting worse and worse, and Zhu Qiyu has repeatedly cut her meals. Eating and sleeping badly, the cold ground and the cold winter made Qian's leg slowly stiffen, and when someone found that Qian's leg was unable to move, he urgently called the imperial doctor to treat him, but it was too late The leg was lame forever. The long-term crying made Qian also suffer from a serious eye disease, she was blind in one eye, and the other eye was blurred, and she became a waste.
When Zhu Qizhen returned to his homeland of Daming with hope, he was greeted only by a sedan chair and two horses, just because he asked someone to bring a message to Zhu Qiyu from the road saying that everything should be simple, but his "good brother" really did everything simple, and simple couldn't be simpler. The request of the hundred officials to go to meet Zhu Qizhen was vetoed by Zhu Qiyu, and the old minister Hu Hu's request to play was invalid, and Zhu Qiyu only greeted Zhu Qizhen outside Dong'an Gate, and then arranged for someone to take Zhu Qizhen to the South Palace of the Emperor. When Zhu Qizhen saw Nangong, he was surprised, he didn't dare to think that his younger brother Zhu Qiyu would be so indifferent and ruthless, because the so-called Nangong was just a dilapidated mansion outside Dong'an Gate.
Zhu Qizhen pushed open the already dilapidated door, and when he walked into the courtyard, he suddenly heard the sound of Suo Suo in the room, so he walked into the room quickly, he thought that there should be a Qian family waiting for him, the beautiful and moving queen. But when the door opened, Zhu Qizhen was stunned, because he couldn't recognize his knotted wife coming.
Qian Shi in front of her was wearing a rough cloth coat, her hair was a little messy, she stood up when she heard the door ring, and walked towards the door, her legs were lame, and her walk was very bumpy, and her eyes couldn't see clearly, so she could only stretch out her hand and keep groping, whispering in her mouth: "Is it you?" Your Majesty, is that you? Zhu Qizhen choked, he didn't know why the Qian family had become like this, his heart hurt like a knife. Qian's face suddenly had a hint of joy, and he stepped forward and walked quickly, and said, "Your Majesty, I finally waited for you to come back." ”
Zhu Qizhen walked forward quickly, held Qian's hands that were constantly groping, and then hugged her into his arms, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing, everything was silent.
The love between him and her is stronger than gold.
