It's hot in summer, but it's cooler in the morning, I don't dare to rub it, change my clothes and prepare, he looked around and nodded, "Yes, that's it, it's convenient to ride a horse, let's go"

It seems that today is to leave the palace.

At the gate of the palace, two horses made me a little discouraged, I can ride horses, Daddy taught, and then followed the queen, and I also rode a few times. But since I had a baby, I haven't ridden it again.

His Majesty mounted his horse, looked back at my hesitation, and stretched out his hand, which I did not stretch out, but stepped into another horse with some stubbornness. The big brown horse took a few steps forward, and at last I was firmly on the ground, and there was still a little appreciation in His Majesty's eyes, and then he struck the horse, and I followed closely behind.

But after a short run, I realized that something was wrong, because there was no one behind us.

We made our way towards the city gate, and when we reached the open area, I realized that the guards were following a few meters away, and did not come forward. And the way forward, is...

"Your Majesty, if you want to inspect the imperial tomb, you also have to bring the ministers with you to meet the rules and regulations." I chased after him, but before I went out, I combed my hair very firmly, otherwise it would have been scattered.

"Today is not to inspect the imperial tomb, but to tell you something." As he spoke, he had arrived at the location of His Majesty's Imperial Mausoleum, with a tall sealed soil on one side, except for the grand tomb where Emperor Taizu and Empress Taizu were buried, this imperial mausoleum was the grandest in the entire Great Sage.

Your Majesty is indeed the emperor with the highest merits except for Taizu, and such an honor is indeed deserved by him.

But we didn't go to the mausoleum, and got off the horse from the Shinto entrance, and His Majesty took the horse very leisurely, and walked along the path behind the Shinto, and walked into the tomb of the concubine on the side.

I've never been here, not even when the queen is out for her funeral. Not to mention the tomb of this noble concubine.

"Your Majesty, when you go inside, it is the entrance of the concubine's tomb, and the concubine is going in, I'm afraid it will be disrespectful."

"You don't even ask why the tomb crossing is still open?" His Majesty is more interested in this question.

"Look at Your Majesty like this, I don't think it's the first time I've come, the entrance to the tomb is open, and it is convenient for you to come to see the concubine from time to time."

"I'm ready, ready to posthumously crown her queen."

"Yes." I was still standing outside the entrance to the tomb, unsure if it was proper for me to go in, but there should be no one who would disturb her sleep again.

"Come in, I have something to say to you." Saying that, His Majesty took a step ahead of me and walked into the entrance of the tomb.

Walked four or five hundred meters through the tomb entrance, layer by layer of patio, illuminating this crossing is very bright, the two of us went all the way in, in such a large space, there is no one, I think it is His Majesty who has cleaned it in advance.

Walking to the tomb, there are all kinds of worship and other things, all placed on the tribute table, and behind the offering table is the coffin of the concubine. The whole outer coffin is made of white jade, and her inner coffin is black and red lacquer, now the lid of the outer coffin has not been closed, I am not looking inside, the whole tomb is still ventilated, the wall is painted with the totem of ascension, there is only a small amount of moldy smell in the air, but it is not as terrible as I imagined.

I picked up the fire fold on one side, lit and offered the candles on the table, and then placed the three sticks of incense in the incense burner, knelt on the futon on the side, and gave the concubine a memorial ceremony in a proper manner.

"Your Majesty, the concubine remembers that there are a lot of burial goods in the tomb of the concubine, and there is no one that was originally going to be placed in the main tomb along the way." This is what I was curious about just now, this place is really empty, it is really silent.

"You come with me." He still asked me to move forward, there was no way to refuse, so I stepped forward, and finally I covered my mouth, the left side of the concubine, I don't know when, another coffin bed was built, and on the stone slab of the coffin bed, that only closed can be used Nine Dragons Tengtian, I saw this coffin bed board, I understood what His Majesty meant, but I still asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty, do you want to be after your own funeral..."

He nodded, "I don't know anything when I'm dead, and I can only entrust it to you if I think about it." When the time comes, you can put my coffin here, and when the time comes, you will be the only one in the world who knows. ”

I had never seen a resolute look in his eyes, and his eyes were a little cloudy at this time, and when I looked again, it was already a deep cold.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? If you want to be buried with the concubine, he is your concubine, and it is also justified. "I tried not to cry out of my fists, my fists were in my hands, and my skin was faintly pierced by my nails, and only then could I hold back the shock and sadness in my heart.

"Don't you understand? I just want to be alone with her, wherever I am. From the very beginning when I met her, I never thought about marrying anyone again. But when I was the crown prince, I couldn't disobey my father, and after I became Your Majesty, I couldn't even resist my courtiers, and the bullshit ancestral rules. So far, there is not a single step I want, so this time I will be willful. You don't have to tell Huan'er that I've arranged a bunch of mute slaves, you just need to put them in my coffin carrying team. This tomb will also be closed from the inside, and no one will know anything about it for the end of its great holy day. I know you can do it. ”

"Your Majesty, you, you can do this for him, how about carrying her coffin to your imperial tomb? You summoned the queen's evil deeds to the whole world, recreated the sins of the Chai family, and finally lay in the imperial mausoleum with the noble concubine Niangniang, who was more sneaky than this. ”

His Majesty glanced at me, he seemed to have never looked at me directly, and then, he smiled faintly, "In addition to the queen, you should also hate me to death." ”

"Yes, because you have never treated your concubine as a concubine." I did not deny it, for for the first time I felt at ease, for His Majesty had asked of me, and as he had said, only I could fulfill what he asked.

"So, you can't get what she wants." As he spoke, His Majesty bent down and wiped the dust off the outer coffin of the concubine with his hands.

"Then you, as you say, I can't do what you want."

"You will, Yingying, although no one treats you as a human being, but you are a person, flesh and blood, with a warm heart." He looked up at me, "It's the queen and I who have harmed your life." She sent you to me, and I didn't refuse, if you let you out of the palace, you must be much more comfortable than now. She's the same, if I let go of my hand, she won't..."Your Majesty hammered his hand on the sarcophagus, and then looked at me with red eyes, "Yingying, now, you should also be free." ”

I shook my head, "Your Majesty, there is no chance for the concubine body." ”

"Yes, yes? That's my fault. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine will agree to your request, and you don't need to say these words against your will. Although I don't understand your intentions, since this is what you want, the concubine will naturally do it for you. ”

"You think I'm ingratiating myself with you?" He was a little surprised, although he was relieved, "Yes, yes, it's all weird, it's weird." ”

We returned to the palace, and on the second day, His Majesty fell ill, and Huan'er, as his only useful son, naturally became the emperor's choice in everyone's eyes.

Early this morning, Huan'er's princess's premature birth, I saw her in the house, as soon as the child was brought out, the adults were already dead, very pitiful, I didn't have time to arrange some things, and the news came out from the palace, saying that His Majesty was dying.

June has passed, the long summer days have passed, and the days of His Majesty's funeral have also passed.

The new emperor's ascension to the throne naturally could not be carried out in the dilapidated palace, so Huan'er, who had become His Majesty, announced the relocation of the capital, and his enthronement ceremony would also be carried out in the new palace in Jinling.

So, the day before I left for Jinling, I still came to the imperial tomb. Standing in front of the tomb of the concubine, I looked at the entrance of the tomb that had been lost in sight, and the secrets of this place and the things that happened here had been buried forever as the tomb was filled.

I knelt on the ground, now that I have become the queen mother, in this world, only in this mausoleum, the silent and underground people, are worthy of my kneeling.

"Your Majesty, you are really ruthless, in this life, you really haven't looked at me, and you really make the concubine admire, in this life, you have left your eyes to one person. In this way, you and her will finally be together forever. The concubine will not come here again, and she will not die. Begging for a lifetime, what you left to the concubine seems to be the most precious thing, but you know that the concubine has never gotten something in this life, a thing that the concubine wants. The concubine is the same as you, and she is also willful once, far away from you, far away from the queen. Far from this shackle. ”

I became the Queen Mother and lived in the magnanimous Ci'an Palace, and Your Majesty, in order to express his filial piety to me, and to comfort me with the sadness of losing the first emperor, moved the camellia tree that I had always wanted to transplant to a warm place.

Spring in Jinling is never late, but I still stand under the tree, the cold wind is relishing, thinking about this year's spring, is it late again.

"Grandmother", a little girl, pulled my sleeve, and I looked down at her, this is Yining's daughter.

Can'er left me, the first emperor also left me, and in the end, Yining didn't finally get happiness and left me. I had secretly vowed to make all my children happy, but I still hadn't done it.

I looked at the girl dressed in white, reached out and plucked a crimson camellia flower from between the flower clusters, and pinned it to her pigtails, "Good boy, what are you doing so plain?" ”

"Grandmother, is this the same tree that your grandfather planted for you?" Crescent asked me.

I nodded, "Yes, there was no small garden in the yard where my grandmother lived at the time, not even a tree, so the first emperor ordered someone to find a tree that could bloom more, and planted it in my grandmother's yard with his own hands." ”

When I talked to them about me and the emperor, I had forgotten the long-term coldness, and only said that he was kind to me, and even so, it was pitiful.

"This tree is different from what A-Niang said, A-Niang said, this tree never blooms, grandmother, you have to sit under the tree every spring, sighing over and over again, saying that spring is late again."

"Yes, this year's spring is also late. This late spring is useless, only to teach people, and the cold can't stand it, so it freezes to death in the spring. ”

"Not true. Grandmother, spring is here. You see that this tree is so well raised, it must be that it has been in the spring that you have not noticed every year, grandmother, secretly accumulated nutrients, and finally arrived here for a few years, the tree is full of flowers, and it also bears tea oil, and makes a good head oil for grandmother. ”

I looked at the trees full of flowers, and I didn't know to tell this child that she was still a child, and she still hoped for something perfect, maybe when she grew up, maybe she would be able to understand that there is nothing truly perfect in this world.

It's just that I want to take care of the child as much as I can, so why should I make her suffer so much?

Her Majesty the "Queen Mother" came, and he took the crescent moon in one hand and bowed to me while she was spinning in circles under the tree.

"What?" He had just met the imperial mausoleum in the eastern capital, and he had just entered the palace, and he came to me, so he should be very tired.

When he entered the house, he didn't care about drinking tea, and when I saw him spitting out, I asked, "If you have something, just say it." ”

"Queen Mother, are you really unwilling to set your auspicious place next to the tomb of your father in the Eastern Capital?" He asked.

I nodded, "This matter, before you go to the Eastern Capital, we will talk about it." Just in Jinling, just choose a place for the queen mother. When a person dies, he just says that he takes a trip in a long and short box, and he can't take care of anything. ”

When he saw that I was calm, he said with some sadness, "You are in Jinling, and my son can only accompany you." ”

"That's what I meant. On your father's side, you and the people behind you, don't bother him, he has found true peace. ”

"Mother, my son remembers that you have a very good relationship with your father, and your father always accompanies you."

I laughed, I don't know what he did to me, but His Majesty forgot, but I didn't refute him, but nodded, "You just treat me, I can't face it." ”

I don't know, how long has passed, this day, day by day, day by day, refusing to ask for my life, it is another year of spring, the fatal tea tree, finally someone can't look at it, cut it for me, although the check is not found, but my heart is really extremely happy, what I have never gotten, day in front of my eyes, it is also like the hand that pulls my face, it hurts more and more.

In the end, I didn't have much time, I looked back, this long life, can only shed tears into my heart, I have not gotten a thing in this life, when I left, I didn't even have the resentment in my heart, I couldn't let go, I remembered my aunt, scarlet mother, queen, concubine, and the emperor who really hurt me deeply, I, I must ask, why, never loved me.
