1. Wedges
In the splendid Chenghuan Palace, incense went around in a circle in the smoke stove, slowly rising, passing through the woodcarvings on the windows, and then disappearing.
It was not early, and the crescent moon climbed up the branch of the pear blossom tree, playing with the petals, and the clouds suddenly floated in, and they played hide with the crescent.
The young queen had already removed the bead ring, and with her long black hair hanging down, she carefully cut the potted plants on the table. This is a careful job, she was not a very impatient person before she left the cabinet, but she was bored all day long in the deep palace, and time was long, so she began to look for things to pass the time.
Suddenly, the door slammed open. The queen didn't turn around, but continued to cut the extra branches and leaves in front of her, and said lightly: "Mo Xiang, why have you always been so reckless lately, can't you even open the door?" ”
Hearing that no one responded, the queen felt a little strange, put down the scissors and turned around, and before she could react, she felt a rushing smell of wine rushing up. The man's wide body pressed her back several steps before she finally landed against the wall. The queen reacted for a while, and then realized that this familiar and somewhat strange person was her husband, the emperor of Zhaoyue, Qi Yan.
For one year on the throne, except for the fifteenth day of each month, the emperor must go to the queen's dormitory. The Empress remembers that they had not seen each other in private very often. After that incident, they rarely met, and the queen felt that it was normal for the emperor not to love her. In the past two months, I have seen Qi Yan three times. These three times, but they were all when Qi Yan was drunk.
"You... What's wrong with you? The queen felt that her heart was beating a little fast, and her speech was a little unsmooth. Although Qi Yan came to her three times drunk, she basically fell asleep on the bed, she felt embarrassed, so she set up another room to rest, and Qi Yan didn't say anything on the second day, and when she woke up, there was no one there, so she quietly changed the bedding full of wine.
But, but today she couldn't help but say that she was pressed like this, it was really the first time for her.
She knew in her heart that from ancient times to the present, no emperor really loved his queen, even if he doted on the queen like the previous emperor, it was only because the queen was powerful and had to be spoiled. Qi Yan loves others, although she is not happy, but she is not embarrassed to make herself sad.
At first, Qi Yan often went to this Zhaoyi, the nobleman's bedroom, she would still feel angry, think about it, she is also the first beauty in the capital, and her family is huge, why can't she get the emperor's favor? She was pampered and brought up, and she never admitted defeat since she was a child, so she always touched his wall, again and again.
Even Gong E secretly said that she lost her face as the master of the harem, but she didn't think so, and fined Gong E with a broken mouth for half a year's money, and was said by other concubines that she couldn't tolerate people, she was straightforward and fast-talking, and wanted to reprimand the concubine whose name she couldn't remember despite Mo Niang's obstruction, but it also caused her to have Qi Yan look at her coldly. She suffered a loss, felt aggrieved, fell seriously ill, and after she recovered, she no longer stuck to Qi Yan.
But she remembered the concubine's name.
Green.
The original Qi Yan, although she didn't favor her, but she didn't care about any woman, there were only three people in the harem, one was when Qi Yan was still the regent, and the side concubine named Wanwan was named Wanwan, who was named Xu Zhaoyi, gentle and virtuous, not like to talk, and honest and honest. The other is the noble person who was sealed after Qi Yan ascended the throne, Guo Caiyue, the daughter of Shangshu, she is not as smart and lively as Xu Zhaoyi, and she can occasionally be favored by Qi Yan.
But a month after Qi Yan ascended the throne, Zhaoling paid tribute to a beautiful woman, and Qi Yan personally gave her a new name, called Lu Yang. That beauty is really good-looking, although the queen couldn't remember her name at first, but she was a woman, and when she saw her, she was also a little moved. There was a little red mole on the corner of her eyebrow, and her soul-hooking appearance overshadowed her. Qi Yan made her a concubine and gave Chaoyun Hall to her. Chaoyun Palace, closer to him than her queen's Chenghuan Palace.
"Xiao Huan..." In the drunkenness, the emperor could spit out the two words, and he was completely drunk on her, which made her come back to her senses in an instant.
Xiao Huan?
She wasn't sure if Qi Yan was calling her, she didn't really listen. Such an intimate nickname shouldn't exist between them...
Thinking about it, the queen shouted outside: "Moxiang, Moxiang..."
A maid dressed as a high-ranking palace lady walked in, and she was a little surprised to see that her little queen was struggling to support the emperor's body to keep him from falling.
"Queen Mother, what's going on?"
"Don't ask so much, put him... Carry it away! I... I can't hold it anymore..."The queen wanted to cry without tears.
Mo Xiang nodded again and again, and quickly called two palace ladies, removed the emperor from the empress, and then placed him on the bed.
After working for a long time, the crescent moon has been completely hidden in the clouds, and the queen has long lost the fun of cutting flowers.
"Queen Mother, the slave maid goes and cleans up the bed in the next room." Mo Xiang said as usual.
Somehow, the queen suddenly said, "No need! ”
"Huh?" Mo Xiang was stunned, "Or does the queen want to rest in the small courtyard in the back garden?" ”
"I... I'll just stay here. The queen said.
Mo Xiang was really stunned at this time, and she even stuttered a little. After a long time, she said, "Yes, yes, the slave and maid immediately ordered someone to go ......."
"You don't have to do anything, you go down." The queen interrupted her. It was only at this time that Mo Xiang suddenly felt in her heart that the queen, who had always been eccentric and kind, actually put up a shelf.
"Yes, yes. Stand down. Mo Xiang said.
The queen walked into the huge dormitory - this Chenghuan hall was built extremely beautiful, and the decorations in it were all selected by herself, and outsiders only said that the emperor doted on the queen, but in fact she felt that he was just too lazy to take care of her business.
Because of what happened just now, the queen's face flushed slightly, and her skin looked even more like snow. The queen is young, her eyes are like a clear spring, looking forward to looking back, delicate and naughty or dignified and generous, in her, she can exist strangely at the same time.
She is indeed beautiful.
But with such a beauty, he can't get a trace of warmth from her Langjun, and only when he is drunk will he rarely unload the majesty of a king and occasionally rely on her.
The queen felt a little depressed.
She sat half-kneeling on the steps in front of the bed and looked at the emperor's sleeping face. How many people in the world can ascend to the throne with their own strength when they are only in their twenties? Although she didn't know how he became the emperor, she knew that his strength was beyond doubt. Assisting the emperor, governing the country, and leading the troops to fight, these are things she had heard about when she was in the boudoir.
The emperor's brows furrowed slightly, and he did not sleep peacefully. His face was as distinct as a carving, and his high nose bridge made the queen very envious.
She stretched out her little jade onion hand and gently stroked the bridge of his nose, all the while... All the way to his thin lips.
Like an electric shock, she reached back.
The queen sighed, lay on the bed, looked ahead with empty eyes, and for a moment, it seemed that she could still remember the bits and pieces of a year ago.
