Chapter 110: Give up the succession
Zhao Rongxian looked at me silently and did not speak.
Obviously, he was still reluctant.
Zhao Rongxian rarely wears brightly colored clothes, this is the case in his previous life, and it is the same in this life.
In his opinion, clothes that are too bright in color seem to be worn only by women.
"Zhao Rongxian, will you die if you wear it?" I pointed to the more festive color of the dress, and my face darkened, "I said you can't wear a little color?" It's just on weekdays, but now that it's almost the New Year, can't you make yourself look a little happy? β
Zhao Rongxian didn't want to wear it, and he didn't want to speak.
Seeing that I seemed to be angry, I reluctantly picked up my clothes and prepared to change them.
In a few moments, he was replaced.
Not to mention, Zhao Rongxian looks good-looking, and he is really eye-catching when he wears such a color.
If others wore this dress, it would be tacky, but when it came to him, it was amazing.
Zhao Rongxian was already stiffened, and his expression was as if I had smeared rouge gouache on his face.
I thought that I would let him wear this dress when the time came, so I dragged him again, pulled him to the bronze mirror, pointed to the person inside and asked him, "Look, Lord Wang, I said it looks good, don't you look good." β
"Well, it's good-looking......" Zhao Rongxian nodded, with a perfunctory expression.
What is his attitude? Dare to love me as if I was kind enough to make clothes for him and did something wrong, who can I show with a strained face?
That's it, the twisted melon is not sweet, how he likes to wear it.
I've already figured it out, in the future, I'll only be a safe and secure princess, what do I care about with him? What does he wear and what does it have to do with me?
Thinking about it, I decisively let go of the hand that was holding his arm, and said coldly, "Okay, how do you want to wear it." β
"Okay, okay, I'll walk through! Do you walk through it every day? Zhao Rongxian stretched out his hand and grabbed me, looking a little helpless, "I've never seen you so unreasonable." β
I'm unreasonable? This is the New Year, and it is unreasonable for me to let him dress a little more festive?
I gave him a blank look, and I was even more unhappy, "The concubine didn't force the prince to wear it, why is it unreasonable?" β
"Love to wear it or not!"
"I've noticed that you've been getting petty lately." Zhao Rongxian opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but Xu felt wronged again, so he didn't explain anything, and scolded me for being stingy at the moment.
I was about to speak, but he suddenly picked me up again, and then threw me on the bed with a bang, and approached.
Zhao Rongxian: What is this going to do? In this daylight, there are still a lot of minions outside, he can't be so shameless!
He is not ashamed, and I still want to have face!
Besides, he will enter the palace in a few days, and if there are any ugly words now, he will inevitably be reprimanded by the queen at that time.
I don't want to be reprimanded by the queen, and now I don't want to fight anything, I just want to live in peace.
I immediately stretched out my hand to push him, "Lord Wang, what are you doing in this blue sky?" β
"You...... You...... You can't do this, you have to go to the palace in a few days, if something comes out, I'll ...... Where does my face go? Seeing Zhao Rongxian getting closer and closer, I suddenly stuttered a little.
"Festive!" I was in a panic, Zhao Rongxian suddenly grabbed the red and colorful quilt next to me, and wrapped it around me unexpectedly.
Then he looked at me with a smile and asked, "Is it pretty?" β
Uh, that's why he made this one, just to let me know that the color is really not good-looking?
Immature! I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but I couldn't help but scold him, "When did the prince become so naΓ―ve!" β
"Didn't you learn this?" He sat down beside me, slowly took out a red box from his waist, and handed it to me with a smile, "New Year's gift, see if you like it?" β
Zhao Rongxian also prepared a New Year's gift for me?
Yes, I have prepared it for him, and he should have prepared it for me.
Even if there is no deep love like in the past, this day still has to be lived, and there must be a respectful appearance like a guest.
Two people live without Qin Se and Ming, and they can't be hostile to each other all day long, otherwise, they won't be able to live.
I glanced up at him and carefully took the box.
Be...... Be...... Is it a pair of white jade earrings, or carved into the shape of leaves.
But...... These earrings seem to have been seen somewhere, and I look quite familiar.
"Like it? I remember that you used to like ...... very much" Zhao Rongxian suddenly opened his mouth, looking at me with a handsome face, "Do you still remember, in the past, in order to compete with Princess Jin for this earring, how big did you look like you?" β
Forehead...... I remembered that these earrings were a tribute, and they were said to be very precious.
This thing was originally in the hands of the queen, because the palace held a spring banquet, saying that whoever wrote the poem well, this thing belonged to whomever it was.
At that time, I was greedy for vanity, and I always wanted to take that thing and show off with Zhao Rongxian's concubines.
Therefore, he made a poem that was not very decent, and the color head was robbed, but he was ridiculed, and when he returned to the house, he was ridiculed by Jiang Wan.
But Zhao Rongxian didn't blame me that time, I thought he didn't know......
Dare he know everything, but he didn't say it at the time? Why didn't he say it? I'm curious, but it's also a little complicated.
I paused and asked him a little embarrassedly, "Does the prince know about that?" β
"As soon as Jiang Wan entered the palace that day, she sued me in front of me." Zhao Rongxian smiled, as if he had fallen into a memory, "Actually, I want to scold you, but then I think about it, you are already puzzled enough, if I scold you again, you must not quarrel with me?" β
"So, just pretend not to know ......"
Hearing Zhao Rongxian's words, he didn't know what to say for a while.
In my old memory, he never loved me at all, and he didn't think anything for me at all, so that now I can't trust him, and because of the torture of two lifetimes, I no longer want to love him.
But now, because of this pair of earrings, I am moved by compassion again.
I don't think about it, at that time, I locked myself in the house as soon as I got home. Later, Zhao Rongxian came over, I thought he was here to ask for guilt, but in the end he didn't say anything, and later, he ordered someone to give me a pair of white jade earrings, which were very similar to the queen's pair.
But because he gave it with the rest of the things, and everyone in the house had gifts, I didn't think much of it. In addition, Zhao Rongxian always scolds me on weekdays, and I feel that the white jade earrings are not as good as other people's jewelry, so I am even more depressed for a while.
Later, I threw the white jade earrings to the bottom of the box, and I forgot about them over time.
Now that Zhao Rongxian sent it again, I remembered everything. I also understand his intentions, Zhao Rongxian is a smart person, he can see the falsehood of my treatment of him now.
So...... It deliberately reminded me again......
My mood was very complicated for a while, and I looked at Zhao Rongxian silently for a moment, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Lord Wang, why are you doing this?" β
"How...... You don't like it? Zhao Rongxian pretended to be confused.
I always wanted to pretend in front of him and live my life in peace, but at this moment, I realized that whenever Zhao Rongxian gave me a little candy, I would be easily shaken and moved.
I was so disgusted with myself that I bit my lip and tried to suppress my emotions, "Lord Wang, do you know what I'm talking about?" β
"Isn't it good to respect each other as guests? Why bother? β
"Ah Huan, respect each other like a guest, do you feel good?" Zhao Rongxian was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't hold it back, and a trace of sadness appeared on his handsome face, "How much have you and I experienced?" Now pretending like this, always guarding against me, are you comfortable? β
Am I comfortable? Yes, I'm uncomfortable, but I feel safe.
I took a deep breath and pulled out a stiff smile, "I'm uncomfortable, but I feel safe." β
"Ah Huan, what do you have to do before you are willing to forgive me? You make me feel very tired like this. Zhao Rongxian sighed, and brought this matter to the table for the first time.
I told him once upon a time that the two of us were forcibly tied together, and I was tired and he was tired.
Zhao Rongxian was reluctant to admit it before, but now he is really tired.
Since he has already pierced his words, I can't pretend anymore, I looked at him silently for a moment, shook my head and said, "I don't know, Lord Wang, it's not that I won't forgive you, I'm just ...... I can't believe you anymore. I don't know, how can I trust you anymore? β
"Actually...... These are no longer important, now you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, even if we want to separate, we can't separate. So whether you believe it or not, you are still my husband, even if you take a concubine or do something else, I will never hurt you because I am jealous. β
"So Lord Wang, you don't have to do these things that you feel tired of for this matter."
"Okay, lord, don't talk about this, let's talk about what congratulatory gifts you prepared for your father, right? I remember that in the past, a saber you prepared for you broke as soon as it came out of the sheath, which made my father angry that day. Now you have to be on guard, others will do something. I smiled, politely and gently, and deliberately diverted the conversation.
Zhao Rongxian seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't mention it again, only nodded, and followed my words, "Don't worry, I'll pay attention." If you lose once, you can't eat a second time. β
"Hmm......" I nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The two of us were still fighting and making trouble, but now that we have poked things on the table, we don't know what else to say.
I don't know how long it took before Zhao Rongxian said in a low voice, "Let's have dinner, this king is a little hungry." β
"Okay......" I nodded, got up and walked outside.
The dinner was eaten in unprecedented silence, and neither of us spoke
When Mama Chen saw this situation, she was puzzled, and chased me several times to ask if Zhao Rongxian and I had quarreled again, but I said no, but she didn't believe it.
But she didn't hear me quarrel with Zhao Rongxian, so she was even more puzzled, and she was enlightening me for a few days, telling me not to lose my temper with Zhao Rongxian.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, she was still reminding.
In the afternoon, after preparing the carriage and some gifts, Mama Chen helped me up, and then taught me a lesson with a calm face, "Princess, you can talk to the prince more in a while, you can talk about you, what do you do when you always have a temper with the prince?" Haven't you had enough of the previous hardships? β
What she said was that I was punished by Zhao Rongxian for kneeling.
Thinking that I almost died that time, Mama Chen still had palpitations.
I was afraid that she would be verbose again, so I nodded again and again to admit to her, and Mama Chen saw that I agreed so obediently, so I relieved my heart and went to the carriage behind.
I sat silently on it, and after a while, Zhao Rongxian also came up.
Xu was because of the fact that the matter was opened, Zhao Rongxian saw that I didn't fight like before, he was even a little embarrassed, and he didn't sit next to me after coming up, but only sat at the other end.
I didn't know what to say to him, so I just looked out the window.
As a result, a cold wind blew in my face, and I quickly retracted my head and hurriedly closed the window as well.
This weather is really cold enough, but after a while, I know that my nose is red, and the cold air is pouring straight into my clothes, making me a little cold all over.
I rubbed my hands vigorously, and Zhao Rongxian suddenly looked at me.
"Cold?" He coughed lightly twice and asked in a low voice.
This is the first time Zhao Rongxian has spoken to me in these days.
I nodded, also looking a little embarrassed, "Yes...... It's a bit cold......"
"The cold is closer to me, the body temperature of a man is hotter than that of a woman, and it will be warmer next to me." Zhao Rongxian glanced at me and moved slightly.
Then, naturally, he took me into his arms, and a warmth instantly spread all over my body, and Zhao Rongxian's warm breath sprayed around me.
I wanted to break free from his arms, but for some reason, because I became polite, I didn't want to break free.
So I didn't move......
"Lately, I've been thinking about it a lot." I don't know how long it took, Zhao Rongxian suddenly opened his mouth, his voice was gentle and peaceful, and he added another sentence in a low voice, "I thought, I did think too much and worry too much in the past." In fact, sometimes, for the sake of the Northern Dynasty, you don't necessarily have to be the emperor. β
"Throughout the ages, there have been many virtuous kings, not to mention that if the prince becomes the emperor, he will definitely not hurt anyone. Although he is simpler, he still has some wisdom. So I thought, from this day forward, I will not fight with him. β
Zhao Rongxian: What does this mean? Didn't he break his head to be the emperor? Why is it suddenly indisputable now?
I was a little suspicious that I had misheard, and even suspected that Zhao Rongxian deliberately said these words to coax me.
I froze for a moment, and I stammered a little when I was shocked by him, "Lord Wang...... What does the prince mean by this? β
"It means that I will no longer participate in the succession." He looked down and looked softly, and chuckled, "Didn't you always hope that I wouldn't fight?" Why, now I'm not happy again? β
I am naturally happy that he doesn't fight, even though he has military power, but if he doesn't take the heir, there won't be so many things.
It's just that I really don't believe that Zhao Rongxian will fight.
Didn't he take the wrong medicine? Or have I not talked to him lately and irritated him? Or maybe something else happened that made his mind a little confused for a while, so he started talking nonsense.
Thinking about it, I decisively reached out and touched his forehead, and said in astonishment, "Lord Wang...... You...... Are you alright? β
"What? You want me to be in trouble? Zhao Rongxian had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "Don't think too much, I wasn't stimulated, but I suddenly felt that I had been an emperor once, and it was not interesting to do it again." It is better to be a regent, to assist the king when he is young, and not to ask about the world when he is old. β
As he spoke, Zhao Rongxian smiled at me again, reached out and touched my face, and said, "Haven't you always wanted this the most?" What do you do with this look? β
I hope so, I hope so, but I didn't expect that Zhao Rongxian, a person as obsessed with power, would actually tell me that he was going to give up, he would no longer take the heir, and he was willing to be a courtier.
Isn't it as simple as taking the wrong medicine? It's just ......
I felt like I was in a dream, and I immediately pinched myself hard, it hurt! It hurts so badly! I'm not dreaming!
So, did Zhao Rongxian give up on taking the heir?
I have been married to him for more than ten years, and I can tell at a glance whether he is lying or serious.
I was so shocked by him that I couldn't calm down for a long time, and it took me a while to come to my senses and stammer, "Wang...... Lord, you ...... Why did you suddenly ......"
Zhao Rongxian sighed and said softly, "Too many things have happened these days, Princess Yunxiu can betray the country for the sake of glory and wealth, and Concubine Hui doesn't even want her own life for her nephew." And you, for the sake of attachment, have become more and more pretended, but you are not happy, and I am not happy......"
"For the sake of wealth, for the sake of power, everyone has made themselves bruised. I don't want to end up with everything and nothing I really want......"
Zhao Rongxian said, sighed again, shook his head and said, "Recently, the matter of Princess Yunxiu and the third brother was poked in front of Princess Jin, and the entire Jin Palace's mansion was in chaos, and the second brother of the third brother's family had a big quarrel on the full moon wine......
"Looking at them, it's like seeing you and me in the past, and suddenly I don't think it's interesting." Zhao Rongxian said, suddenly kissed me on the forehead, and whispered, "So, I don't want to fight, let's live our lives in the future." β
Listening to Zhao Rongxian say so much, I still can't believe it, I deeply doubt that I have heard it.
I looked at him in disbelief, and stumbled and asked again, "Is what the prince said true?" Will the prince really not fight in the future? Let's just live a good life for the two of us in the future? β
"What am I lying to you for?" He scratched my nose and said, "After entering the palace to meet my father in a while, let's go to the Lizheng Palace, and I will tell the queen mother everything that needs to be said......"
He's ...... Are you going to tell the queen that he won't fight anymore?
He was going to shake hands with the queen and make peace, but the queen hated him because of the Wen family's affairs, and he was willing to shake hands and make peace, but the queen couldn't say anything.
When I think about it, I get a little worried.
"Lord Wang, Queen Wen hates you so much, the Wen family was raided and the nine clans were wiped out, that's because of you and me, how can the queen agree to make peace with you." When I think of the Queen's face, I feel that she will not be reconciled.
But Zhao Rongxian looked disappreciative, he nodded, very sure, "I know the queen mother, she will." β
"You must know that the reason why the Wen family was exterminated by the Nine Clans was because the Wen family intended to rebel. The queen mother is not a fool, some things are true or false, she is clear in her heart. Although the Wen family is her mother's family, as the queen, the Wen family is secretly plotting to rebel, where is her. β
"Besides, with my current power, if I am willing to help her deal with the third brother, she will naturally be willing. Even if you didn't believe me at first, after a long time, you will naturally believe it. β
It seems like...... It's such a reason, now the king of Jin is rampant, and the queen gave birth to a wolf, and she was angry to death, but she was helpless.
But if there is Zhao Rongxian, she will also have a way to deal with King Jin.
Even if she doesn't trust Zhao Rongxian in her heart, at this juncture, she is still willing to settle her old suspicions with Zhao Rongxian.
In this way, after entering the palace to meet the emperor, Zhao Rongxian and I immediately went to the queen's palace.
Seeing me and Zhao Rongxian, the queen looked very surprised and a little unhappy, but as the mother of a country, and in front of many concubines, she wanted to maintain the demeanor of the mother of a country.
So she was full of kindness, and when she saw me and Zhao Rongxian, she immediately pretended to be happy, and hurriedly asked us, "Fourth, Ah Huan, why are you here?" β
"Today's festival, Erchen and Ah Huan are here to pay New Year's greetings to the queen mother." Zhao Rongxian said, and had ordered someone to present a gift box.
When the queen saw that Zhao Rongxian was going to give her a gift, she was even more surprised, and she was a little flustered in addition to being surprised.
I think it was the previous picture of Empress E's daughter who left a serious psychological shadow on her, and that picture made the queen disgusted, and she didn't even eat that day, and she left.
Now that she sees Zhao Rongxian giving gifts, she naturally has to be on guard.
Her eyes were full of doubts and vigilance, and she still had a smile on her face, "The fourth child has a heart, sit down." β
As she spoke, she pointed to the chair next to her and motioned for Zhao Rongxian to sit down with me.
Zhao Rongxian sat down honestly this time, which made the queen even more uncomfortable, after all, Zhao Rongxian was very embarrassed when she opened her mouth last time, and she was afraid that Zhao Rongxian would say something ugly with the gift again.
Zhao Rongxian glanced at the gift in her hand and asked the queen with a smile, "The queen mother doesn't plan to take a look?" β
The queen's smile froze instantly, and it could be seen that she didn't want to look at it.
But Zhao Rongxian said so, and she was embarrassed not to look at it, so she instructed her mother again, "Take it out and take a look, the fourth child's mind, if the palace doesn't take a look, I'm afraid it will hurt the fourth child's heart." β
Saying that, Mama had already taken out a big golden lock from the box, with the word "longevity" written on it, the queen was slightly shocked, looked at the golden lock, and then looked at Zhao Rongxian, her eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.
"Lord Wang, how are you ...... How do you send a gold lock? "I'm wondering, too.
Zhao Rongxian smiled and whispered in my ear, "The golden lock was given by my mother when I was ten years old." β
