Chapter 10: The Emperor's Remorse
Emperor Yuan's concubine saw that the emperor was sitting there and didn't speak, she was a little embarrassed, so her eyes suddenly thought of something, and then said: "Your Majesty, you haven't come to Xianfu Palace for a long time, do you want to meet Yan'er?" Yan'er said that she missed her father very much that day? ”
Murong Yan was born in the second year after the death of the Empress Yuan, and was a full year and a half younger than Murong Xi.
Murong Yan is very beautiful, even more cute, and very sensible. Her temperament is not as sharp as that of the Yuan Emperor and the Imperial Concubine, but very jumpy. I don't know who this third princess looks like, anyway, it's not like the Yuan Emperor Guifei.
When it comes to Murong Yan, the emperor's eyes are full of warmth, and he still loves this princess very much. Fortunately, this child doesn't want to be the concubine of Emperor Yuan, although he is young, he is very kind. I just don't know if his poor child is doing well. Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes were covered with a layer of fog.
"Well, I haven't seen that girl in a long time." Murong Yu said warmly.
Emperor Yuan's concubine smiled at this time, called Mama Yan in, and said, "Mama Yan, go and invite Her Royal Highness the princess over, just say that her father is here, and her father said that he wants to see her." ”
Speaking of this daughter, Emperor Yuan's concubine naturally likes it from the bottom of her heart. It is also because of this princess that the emperor can often come to her Xianfu Palace to sit down, otherwise, the emperor will not know that Ma Yue can come over in the Year of the Monkey.
After hearing this, Mama Yan hurriedly went to bring the princess in.
Murong Yan is wearing this pale pink dress today, her big eyes are very similar to Murong Yu, but her complexion and cherry mouth are very similar to her mother's concubine. Although she hasn't reached the end yet, she has already come out like a little beauty. After arriving at Xianfu Palace, he knelt down for the emperor and the concubine of the Yuan Emperor, only to hear the crisp voice like a yellow bird and say: "The sons see the father and the emperor, and see the mother concubine." ”
Murong Yu smiled from the bottom of his heart when he saw this princess, and then said, "Get up quickly, let me take a good look at you." ”
"Father, has Yan'er grown up?" Murong Yan said with a grin.
"My Yan'er has not only grown up, but also become more and more beautiful." Murong Yu said with a smile.
Murong Yan lowered her head a little shyly, and then muttered, "Father......"
Murong Yu looked at the girl in front of him, and thought of the missing little princess, fifteen years, thinking about that girl should also be fifteen years old. Thinking of the queen, that girl should be more beautiful. It's just that I don't know if I'm still alive in this world.
Murong Yan saw his father's sad face, but he didn't know why his father was always sad. Her father was very good to her and doted on her. So, she stepped forward and said to Murong Yu, "Father, do you have something on your mind?" Why are you unhappy? ”
After Emperor Yuan's concubine heard it, her heart was for a while, she naturally knew that Murong Yu must have seen Yan'er and remembered the dead little princess. After so many years, he still hasn't forgotten it, and even continues to look for it. She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists in her hands, her nails had dug into the flesh, and she wanted to dig up the queen's body from the imperial tomb and whip it.
A trace of hatred appeared on her face, but it was only a moment before she returned to normal, and said to Yan'er: "Your father and emperor have every opportunity, and he must be working for state affairs, so he will have something on his mind." ”
"Oh? It turns out that her father is because of state affairs, so can Yan'er help her father go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future? Yan'er wants to be a female general. Murong Yan said with a grin.
Murong Yan has been very thoughtful since she was a child, and her mother taught her to be a watery woman, and only if she is gentle as water, will she please her husband. However, Murong Yan didn't think so, why did she want to please her husband instead of the two of them admiring each other? For this alone, she disagreed with her mother's statement.
Moreover, she actually sometimes dislikes the way her mother does it, and she doesn't understand the battles in the harem. Once, I secretly knew that another mother concubine had drugged a pregnant concubine. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran to find her father and asked him to give her a palace alone. Murong Yu was so shrewd, after sending a secret guard to understand the matter, he was also afraid that the Yuan Emperor's concubine would take Murong Yan badly, so he issued an order to give the Cloud Hall to Murong Yan.
Of course, these are all things that Emperor Yuan didn't know, she just knew that Murong Yu gave the palace because she loved Murong Yan very much.
"Oh? Our Yan'er wants to be a female general? Haha, your father is up to you. Other people's girls want to marry a good husband, but our Yan'er is really different. Murong Yu laughed, he hadn't really laughed for a long time, only this Yan'er and Yi'er could make him laugh.
Emperor Yuan's concubine originally wanted to reprimand Murong Yan, but when she saw Murong Yu so happy, she pretended to be angry and said, "Your Majesty, you can take care of Yan'er." Yan'er, just kidding, don't leave your mother and run to the battlefield by yourself, so your mother won't depend on you. ”
Murong Yu looked at Murong Yan and smiled dotingly, and then said, "Okay, I'm happy today, I'll have dinner in Xianfu Palace, and Yan'er won't leave today." Let's dine with my father and your mother. ”
After the emperor had dinner in the Xianfu Palace, he returned to the imperial study. When he went back, his face was no longer the gentleness towards Murong Yan, only his lonely and cold eyes remained.
When he walked into the imperial study, he saw Yu'er waiting for him on the side, and Yu'er stepped forward and saluted and said, "See Your Majesty." ”
"Yu'er, I said that I don't have to be so formalistic in the future, you are good, you have been saluting me unchanged for the past fifteen years." The emperor said slightly.
"Your Majesty, slaves and maids can't be pampered and arrogant, not to mention that there are so many pairs of eyes in the palace looking at it. It is already a great blessing for the slave to be blessed by the emperor for so many years, if it were not for so many years of protection, the slave and maid's life would have been gone. Yu'er said respectfully to Murong Yu. Originally, Yu'er had hatred for the emperor at the beginning, if she didn't drive her away when she was in Xianfu Palace, but followed him to Fengluan Palace, wouldn't the little princess be taken away, and the queen wouldn't have died because of dystocia? Later, after the emperor came to his senses, he explained to her that he didn't know that Yu'er had gone to look for him that night. And Father-in-law Shun was also very eccentric, and he actually fell asleep outside the Xianfu Palace. Yu'er didn't say anything after hearing this, but just thought that something must be wrong with the Yuan Emperor and the concubine.
"You, I know that you have been faithful for so many years, and I know that you are looking forward to the return of the little princess. But also, in addition to you, I also think that the princess's affairs are also a conspiracy behind her back, but unfortunately, I have no evidence, the prime minister has already lost a daughter, if there is no evidence, how can he lose another daughter? The emperor said leisurely.
"Yu'er knows that the emperor trusts Yu'er, and Yu'er has said this many times, Yu'er doesn't believe that when the mother is about to give birth, you will accompany the Yuan Emperor and the concubine to sleep. Because you clearly said that day, after going to Xianfu Palace to take a look, you will return to Fengluan Palace. However, when Yu'er found Xianfu Palace, not only did you not go to Fengluan Palace, but also reprimanded the slave and maid, and the slave and maid were also in a hurry, so they ran back in the direction of Fengluan Palace. Yu'er said in a tangled voice. She didn't know what happened to His Majesty at that time, but she vaguely thought that this matter was not simple.
Murong Yu frowned, he was also very surprised, he obviously said that he would go back that day, but he didn't know why he stayed in Xianfu Palace, and his brain was blank, and Xiao Shunzi also slept innocently that day. It's just that he was too sad because Jin'er died of dystocia that day. By the time I realized that something was wrong, it was too late, and there was no evidence at all. The man in black who caught the little princess was not caught, and the old lady was also killed in the Fengluan Palace. This clue was obviously broken, so the disease was not investigated to the end.
"I didn't know you were going that day, and I didn't have any impression when you said that I reprimanded you. I was suddenly pushed up by Concubine Yuan that day, and I looked like she was in a hurry, and I said that it took me a long time before I woke up. Thinking about it now, it does seem strange. If you are in Xianfu Palace, she will call me, I will not wake up. The reason why you shouted so loudly at the door, I still have no impression, it can only show one point, there is something wrong with Xianfu Palace. "The emperor has all kinds of remorse in his heart, he shouldn't listen to Jin'er's words and go to Xianfu Palace to see Yuan Guifei. If she hadn't gone, the queen wouldn't have died in childbirth, even if the real person was gone, at least the little princess wouldn't have been taken away.
Yu'er saw the pain and remorse on Murong Yu's face and knew that he regretted going to Xianfu Palace, so she had no choice but to comfort: "Your Majesty, presumably even if this thing happens again, Niangniang will still persuade you to go to Xianfu Palace." The slave maid knew that the Yuan Emperor Guifei Niangniang had grasped the weakness of the queen's kindness. There are a lot of things that you don't know, the emperor, when you were in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past, there was nothing that Yuan Guifei couldn't get, especially the queen's. As long as the queen mother likes it, she will take it away. Mrs. is even more indiscriminately eccentric Yuan Huang Guifei, no matter what happens, she will reprimand the queen first. Sometimes the slave maid couldn't stand it and persuaded a few words, but the queen mother persuaded the slave maid, saying that one was her mother and the other was her sister-in-law. Both of them were in a hurry, so she had to retreat. The queen mother often said that suffering losses is a blessing, and the queen mother is too kind. Although it was to persuade the emperor, Yu'er also expressed her dissatisfaction with the prime minister's wife and the concubine of the Yuan Emperor.
When the emperor heard this, he seemed to be thinking about something, thinking of the embarrassment of the prime minister before, and thinking of why the concubine of the Yuan Emperor did not marry herself. At the end, it was Jin'er who begged him, and he reluctantly married Yuan Xin'er as a side concubine. This woman's scheming is so heavy, it makes him regret it a lot.
"Yu'er, tell me about the queen's previous affairs in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I want to hear about it." The emperor sat there and said slowly.
