Chapter Twenty-Eight: Crying
Whenever Xue Chongxun could have such an opportunity, a thought would always pop up in his heart, the storms and risks he had endured in the past were worth it. Otherwise, where would there be so many opportunities to feel the charm of a beautiful lady being possessed for the first time? Although Bai Qimei is not the kind of lady who is beautiful, but belongs to a character of unknown origin, her status is not noble, but she is a woman with a high spirit, otherwise she would not be as guarded as jade. And now Xue Chongxun has plundered a qiē lightly under her willingness, which cannot but produce spiritual pleasure and a kind of vanity. But there were no more emotions beyond that, and his senses were occupied by too many low-level desires, almost numb to other things, because desires were more direct.
He spent a pleasant afternoon in the conservatory hall, and in the warmth lingering, his fingers seemed to have magical power, as if to express a thousand tenderness...... In fact, this qiē has no connotation, only a shallow sense of lust and conquest, and the rest is a lie imagined by the woman herself.
Naturally, the day's recital was delayed, and it was close to the unitary hour after it was finished. Xue Chongxun asked the eunuchs around him to go to the cabinet to deliver a message, cancel the hearing tomorrow morning, and let the four cabinet ministers approve the backlog of chapters as appropriate. Of course, he usually doesn't stay up late to deal with government affairs, and arrogance, lewdness, and ease are the duty of being an emperor.
When I returned to Penglai Palace, I saw Princess Hezhong, the second sister of the Xue family, and Li Yan'er together, and Princess Hezhong was teasing Xue Chongxun's daughter Xue Xia to play. The little girl was only two years old, and she seemed to be familiar with her aunt who met for the first time, and Xue Chongxun heard the sound of "giggling" as soon as she got off the imperial chariot.
The palace maids who were waiting beside the ladies saw Xue Chongxun's guard of honor, and they all stood respectfully on both sides of the road. Li Yan'er and others also came over to greet Xue Chongxun, and Xue Chongxun brushed his sleeves and said, "It's all my own family, so I'm exempt...... Xiao Xia called a father. Xue Chongxun said while laughing to tease his daughter, but unexpectedly, the little girl turned around and hugged her skirt, Li Yan'er hurriedly squatted down and hugged her, and said softly: "Look, it's my father." ”
Xue Chongxun stretched out his hand to hug Xue Xia, and suddenly she cried with a "wow...... which caused Li Yan'er and Princess Hezhong to hurriedly coax, and Xue Chongxun suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Li Yan'er glared at him: "Who called you fierce and vicious, and scared our Xiazhou to cry." ”
Xue Chongxun sighed in his heart, his daughter didn't recognize Lao Tzu when she was a child. Thinking about it, I really didn't care enough about her, let alone take care of her, because there were many nurses and palace maids taking care of her, mainly her mother was taking care of her, and there was no shortage of food or clothing, and Xue Chongxun didn't ask much in person. The family relationship of the royal family is relatively estranged, maybe he doesn't pay enough, and the men of the common people's families need to pay a lot to raise their offspring, so they are more emotionally close, right? So Xue Chongxun subconsciously came to a conclusion: love and dedication are related.
Fortunately, after a while, the little princess stopped crying, and the princess of the river took it and hugged her in her arms. Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment and asked, "If my sister is not too hard, how about coming to the Zichen Hall on weekdays to help me see the chapter?" ”
Yesterday, Princess Taiping mentioned that Princess Hezhong should participate in government affairs, but Xue Chongxun did not give a clear answer at that time, but the next day he pulled out the matter of Bai Qimei in the court. Although this was a trivial matter, Xue Chongxun felt that there might be Princess Taiping's instructions, and he had actually fallen behind. The game within the family is far from reaching the life-and-death level, and since he has fallen behind, he feels that he should agree to his mother's request to compromise and avoid conflicts.
The princess of the river smiled: "The words of the eldest brother are now a holy decree, how dare I be too hard? Actually, I don't know much about national affairs, but my mother was afraid that I would be bored in the palace, so she asked me to do some pen and ink things, and I have to be the eldest brother to get the idea, otherwise I am afraid that there will be some leaks, and the country is very strict, right? ”
Hearing her inadvertently mention "leaky", Xue Chongxun naturally thought of the little incident in the court in the morning, and his favorability towards his own sister suddenly decreased a little. I am afraid that the influence of Empress Wu Zetianwei's legacy on the noblewomen is still there, and these court ladies always want to participate in the government.
Xue Chongxun said: "After you get married, it is rare for our brothers and sisters to even see each other, and now it is a good thing to have the opportunity to get along more, but you should usually accompany your mother more, I have a lot of things to do every day, and there are fewer opportunities to serve tea and water to pay respect." ”
At this time, Li Yan'er said with some complaints: "Lang Jun understands everything, why did you let my mother move to Chengxiang Palace?" She's not a Taoist priest, what's so good about living there! Since my mother moved away, I've been annoyed to death, and other palace things are just like going to my aunt, and I come to ask me about the big and small things in Penglai Palace, how do I know so many things? Last time, I used the gold seal, but one of Zhaoyi jumped into the lake and died, and they privately talked about the fact that I killed him......" The more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, and she looked a little helpless.
Xue Chongxun noticed that his sister had a strange look on her face when she heard it next to her, and sighed slightly. He said, "Aren't you in Jincheng's relationship?" Usually get along more, let her be by the side to remind, don't worry, isn't there still me? He thought about it and said to Sanniang beside him, "You ask someone to find out who is gossiping a lot, and you can change her place to reflect and reflect." ”
Sanniang replied "yes" expressionlessly.
After Xue Chongxun finished speaking, he wanted to go back to the dormitory for dinner, but when he left, he couldn't help touching his daughter's face, but he cried again, so he had to give up.
This palace is indeed a bit complicated, Xue Chongxun doesn't want to figure it out, he can understand government affairs, and it is already more difficult to find a way to keep the throne and the power of the family, as for the death of a few people in the harem, let them die, as long as it is not the few people he cares about, it doesn't matter.
As soon as the Sun family left, it was estimated that Li Yan'er's level would really not be able to handle the harem, and Xue Chongxun had no choice, and it was even more unbearable to change the queen, after all, it was a good match before he ascended the throne. Li Yan'er is like this now, she has no experience at all, which should be due to the fact that the Sun family protects her too well, and it is difficult to experience it without facing difficulties in person. Before she got married, she was the favorite of Li Longji's brothers, and there was Emperor Li Dan above, no one dared to give her grievances, and the people around her must be obedient; Later, Li Longji's party fell, and their family was originally experiencing hardship, but they also had Sun's wholehearted love and protection. It is obviously a bit nonsense for such a person to deal with sinister court affairs. In the world of women in the harem, the sinister of Gong Dou is more sinister than the men's real guns and knives, and the winner is like Wu Zetian, who is a generation of heroes.
However, with Princess Taiping here, it is impossible for the order of Daming Palace to be chaotic. Xue Chongxun felt that his mother was really a powerful woman, and she had means both inside and outside, not only to govern the internal affairs of the palace well, but also to interfere in state affairs and communicate with ministers. However, she is also more kind to Xue Chongxun's woman, and she is unwilling to interfere too much to provoke contradictions, and with the character of Princess Taiping, she can already look down on Xue Chongxun very much, which is all from his years of fighting. Xue Chongxun himself has no strength, it is estimated that Princess Taiping is a person like the Empress Dowager Cixi, and he is also a tragic puppet.
In addition, Xue Chongxun is more optimistic about Princess Jincheng, her noble temperament and wisdom that can produce respect when people see each other, Xue Chongxun sees it in his eyes, and she is by no means ordinary. However, in the world of women, she is too good-looking to affect the development of power, and women are too easy to be jealous. It is not easy for Jincheng to obtain his current status, because his biological father is Li Shouli, who has no foundation in the palace and because of his outstanding appearance, he has been isolated and ostracized since he was a child, and he was almost sent to the barren land of Tibet as a political victim. Xue Chongxun saved her...... But maybe she fought for it herself, Xue Chongxun was just lustful.
After dinner, he walked around the dormitory, thinking about these things. Thinking and pondering, people always survive in a net; Fighting for it, the only things that can comfort and pay are material desires, flesh desires, and vanity, and the real things in life have nothing to do with achievements, and they are also very rare, but they are very thin under the excitement of drunken money.
