Chapter 140: The Conflict between Emperor and Queen
Empress Chu was startled, and looked at Emperor Yun who walked in from outside the door and hurriedly got up.
"The concubines greet the emperor, the minions are so lazy, no one reported the emperor when he came!"
"I heard that the Empress was resting, so I didn't let them know." Emperor Yun walked up to Empress Chu, "Empress get up." ”
"Yes." Empress Chu got up and glanced at Emperor Yun.
I don't know how long the emperor has been standing outside the door, and whether the words he just said have been heard by the emperor.
Emperor Yun looked at Empress Chu like this, frowned tightly and said, "The Empress just said a lot, I have heard it, but I will not agree." ”
"Your Majesty, although Heng'er doesn't have much fame for the time being, after all, he is the only son of the concubine's brother, and this child's concubine has also seen it, both in appearance and talent, and there is a cousin between Yan'er and Yan'er, if Yan'er marries, he will definitely not be neglected."
"Queen, you should know very well why I don't agree." Emperor Yun sat down on a chair beside him, "Yan'er is my first child, and she is also my favorite daughter since she was a child, even if she wants to marry in the future, I will definitely choose a satisfactory husband for him in the imperial city, and it is absolutely impossible to marry her to a place so far away from the border pass." ”
Not to mention the conditions at the border gate, once you get married, I am afraid it will be difficult to see each other for a few years.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are also for the good of Yan'er, although the border is far away, but if you can live a happy and peaceful life......"
"Does the queen think that if Yan'er marries in this imperial city, she will not be able to live a happy and peaceful life?" Emperor Yun interrupted Empress Chu's words, "Empress, I know that you have been frightened by Yan'er's assassination this time, and I will definitely investigate it in detail, and I will never let such a thing happen again." You can't think about marrying Yan'er far away because of this incident, she has lived in the palace since she was a child, she is used to eating and drinking, will she suffer when she arrives at the border, can she adapt to it, don't you think about these problems? ”
"Even if the conditions at the border pass are not as good as those in the imperial city, Yan'er should not suffer hardships when she marries, not to mention that compared to the life of fine clothes and food, the concubines hope that Yan'er can be happy in this life."
Empress Chu stood in front of Emperor Yun, and her tone was a little colder.
"Your Majesty, after all, the concubine is Yan'er's mother, and she will definitely not harm her. The concubines have thought about this matter carefully, and hope that the emperor can agree to the concubines. ”
"Impossible!" Emperor Yun stretched out his hand and slapped the table heavily, "Empress, you are simply making a fool by doing this. ”
"The concubine has never been so clear as now, the concubine grew up in the border pass, where the sky is wide and the land is wide, and every day is very comfortable, the concubine hopes that Yan'er can live a free life, is this wrong?"
Empress Chu crossed her eyes with a touch of grief, this big palace wall, as well as the imperial city, is like a man-eating monster, trapping people in it, and they can't get out at all.
Emperor Yun looked at Empress Chu, what was he talking about, he was clearly expressing his dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Queen, is it possible that in your heart you regret marrying into the palace?"
Hongfeng on the side was shocked, and hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand the queen mother, this is definitely not the meaning, but because of the eldest princess's injury, the queen mother is worried, so she will be emotional for a while, please ......"
"That's what concubines mean." Empress Chu interrupted Hong Feng with her mouth, looked at Emperor Yun's eyes, and opened her mouth word by word, "The concubine really doesn't want Yan'er to be trapped in this brocade clothes and jade food in the footsteps of the concubine, and in fact, she is not free at all. ”
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Yun spoke sharply, "Empress, do you know what you're talking about!" As the lord of the six palaces, under one person and above ten thousand, isn't your identity noble enough, and the power in your hands is not great enough! ”
"Heh......" Empress Chu smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, the concubines are talking to you about freedom, but you are talking to the concubines about power." ”
"Standing on a high place, with power, there is naturally freedom to dispose of, many things."
"Then may I ask the emperor, are you free?" Empress Chu hooked the corners of her mouth, and her tone was a little mocking, "You are the highest person in the world, the Son of Heaven, the king, all the courtiers and people will kneel at your feet and shout long live." But Your Majesty, are you really free? For so many years, the concubines have watched the emperor review and deal with the government every day, and they have hardly been idle for a moment, is this the freedom in the emperor's heart? ”
Emperor Yun's face froze, "Empress, how many people in this world can enjoy freedom." Look at those ordinary people, they don't seem to have to worry about state affairs, but they also work for their livelihood every day, your so-called freedom sounds very good, but in fact it is not vulnerable at all. ”
"The concubine is not to marry Yan'er to ordinary people's families."
"Does it make a difference?" Emperor Yun snorted coldly, "Yan'er grew up beside us since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to our protection, after marrying to the border, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, whether it is the battle in the back house, or the quarrel between husband and wife, no one will support him anymore." Queen, you believe in your brother and nephews, but I don't believe it. ”
Therefore, he wants to put Yan'er by his side, in the imperial city, so that no one will dare to snub Yan'er under his nose.
Seeing that Empress Chu didn't speak, Emperor Yun continued: "Compared to a lifetime of stability and dignity, what's the harm in sacrificing a little freedom. ”
"What's the matter?" Empress Chu slowly closed her eyes and covered a tingling pain under her eyes, "Yes, what's the matter, it's nothing more than being locked by the shackles of honorable status, and then watching the husband and wife drift apart, when the midnight dream returns, Shaohua has passed away, and the family is not allowed to see each other, living in the palace of Nuoda by a little bit and memories of youth, what's the matter!" ”
Hong Feng on the side of "Niangniang ......" was frightened, although she could also see the sadness in Niangniang's heart, but if she said such words to the emperor, wouldn't it anger Long Yan.
Sure enough, after listening to Empress Chu's words, Emperor Yun's face changed greatly.
"Queen, I know that you have a problem in your heart because of what happened before, but I never thought that you would have rejected this palace so much in your heart."
"The emperor is wrong." Empress Chu opened her eyes, "The concubines are not only repelled by this palace, but also by you, the emperor." Before, the concubine had always believed in the conjugal relationship between you and me for many years, but now the concubine found out that the so-called conjugal relationship had already been completely wiped out by this deep palace. ”
The young husband and wife have a deep affection, but after all, they can't withstand the daily consumption of this deep palace like water.
Now, looking at the people in front of them, it seems that only the cold identity of the emperor and queen is left between them, and there is nothing else.
