Chapter 16: The Master of the Cui Palace

"The weather is good today, and the queen doesn't want to go out for a walk. ”

Ling Huanyu sat on the chair in the inner hall of the Cui Palace, looking at his wife's gloomy face, and thought of ways to make her happy.

"The emperor is really interested, he wants to visit the garden in summer, and the concubines are afraid of the heat, so they are not blessed. ”

Blessed?

Ling Huanyu stood up and walked up to her, "You, you are the only one in the entire harem who dares to play a temper with me, other women, seeing me coming, which one is not facing me with a smile?"

The concubine couldn't laugh, which made the emperor disgusted. ”

Hard mouth.

"Hui'er is gone, don't worry about it anymore, this is the destiny of heaven, and you can't hide from it. The queen should take on the responsibility on her shoulders as soon as possible and do her duty as a queen. ”

Fang Yun's eyes were hazy with tears, her two eyes were red from crying, she looked at Ling Huanyu in disbelief, and said, "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, there are many heirs, and Hui'er is not the most outstanding one, he is gone, and the emperor is naturally not sad." ”

"Queen! Why don't I feel sad? Hui'er is my sister-in-law, even if she is not outstanding, her status and weight in my heart are better than those of other princes!

Ling Huanyu is not angry, today is the third day that his stupid son has left, the queen has not come to Zhaoyang Hall to ask for peace for three consecutive days, this is it, she has put down her body like this and come here to see her, but she still has this temper, refuses to give in, and is more stubborn than a donkey.

"Your Majesty, on the first day Hui'er left, you ordered the palace to mourn the second prince. The next day, he went to court as usual, and invited King Heng to come and discuss the marriage for him. On the third day, a family banquet was set up in the palace, inviting King Yi to discuss state affairs, and dared to ask the emperor whether he regarded Hui'er as his son and fulfilled a little bit of his father's responsibility?"

Fang Yun was aggressive, refusing to give Ling Huanyu a step at all, his son died, what else did he do besides mourning? Isn't it time to eat, drink, where did he see him shed half a tear? She cried day and night in the Cui Palace, so sad. But what about him, as if this child was born out of thin air and had nothing to do with him, and it was so ruthless that it was really chilling.

It's not that Ling Huanyu doesn't love his second prince, it's just that these two princes were born a fool, and the doctor diagnosed it, saying that the queen didn't pay attention when she was pregnant, and ate all the messy things, and she was stupid to eat the child. It is said that Hui'er is dead, and he, as a father, should cry a few times, but his unlucky son is born to choke to death for hawthorn nucleus...... You say, the death of this dignified prince is so absurd, can it not be ...... Think it's ridiculous?

Now there are rumors in the palace, saying that the second prince is worthy of being the emperor's son-in-law, and he is stupid, and at first glance he is the emperor's own son...... The prince of the family died, either died in battle, or died of illness, and was choked to death.

Besides, the pain of losing a child, in terms of family and country affairs, is nothing in front of it, and Ling Huanyu also decided not to think about it after several considerations and handled official business with peace of mind.

After years of preparation, now that it is about to bear fruit, I can't let this distract my steps. If the world says that he is ruthless, let them say it, Hui'er's death is remembered by himself.

"Fang Yun, originally in the mansion, you were the most eccentric and flattering, but now how did you enter the palace and become a queen, but the little family became more and more angry, Hui'er passed away, you, as a mother, are sad and human. But do you know that in the palace, as the queen, you have thousands of pairs of eyes watching your every move, and you don't come to Zhaoyang Hall for three days in a row to ask for peace, and you also turn a blind eye to the harem concubines. ”

Ling Huanyu said, walked up to Fang Yun, and took her hand, "Hui'er's life has his own life, you and I don't have to force it, the past should be turned over, you don't have to be too persistent, so persistent that you forget your duty." ”

Forgot what it was ......

Fang Yun endured her anger and always smiled at Ling Huanyu, "I heard the emperor's words, the concubines are like Daigo empowerment and have benefited a lot, but the concubines still thought that the emperor came today to visit the concubines." Looking at it like this, it is a wake-up call for the concubines. ”

"Fang Yun, you shouldn't talk to me in such a weird way!"

Ling Huanyu was furious, "I came here today to give you care, but now it seems that the queen is also disdainful of my care, right?"

"Your Majesty, now the peasants in the south of the Yangtze River, the people are not living well, and the guards in the north are bullying people too much, in order to seize power, you first put the life and death of the people behind you, and put them in dire straits, are you not afraid that they will revolt and rebel and provoke trouble?"

Somehow, Fang Yun also suddenly chatted with himself about state affairs, which made Huan Yu hesitate for a while, "I am also helpless, I don't have to make some effort, how can that old stubborn person let go of power?

He didn't quite understand his wife's words, and he did this to consolidate his throne, in other words, to consolidate her Fang's elite power in the court...... It's just that the people in the river area have suffered some grievances first, and after the matter is completed, who is the king in the hearts of the people, presumably they should also know in their hearts.

Fang Yun categorically didn't think so, when she married into the Ling family and became Ling Huanyu's princess, she was cautious everywhere, for fear of stepping on an ant, but in front of Ling Huanyu, she would always be the little girl who was not out of the cabinet and fought crickets behind the rockery. After so many years, as Ling Huanyu's married couple, she knows his temperament and temperament, and she also knows that he has been enduring humiliation to stabilize the throne. But in a blink of an eye, he became like this, a person who only lives for power, it seems that in this world, there is nothing more attractive to him than power.

"Presumably, after accompanying me for a while, the queen is also tired, so I will go back to Zhaoyang Hall to approve the folds. Ling Huanyu said, got up and was about to leave, but before leaving, he turned back again, "I hope the queen will remember what I said today, be your queen well, and don't make branches out of the festival." ”

Extra-...... Branches......

She pursed her lips, it seems that when the emperor is not busy, the two of them should also have a long talk.

......

"Niangniang, the emperor finally took the initiative to come to us, why did you just let it go?"

The maidservant Lan Ying looked at Fang Yun's red and swollen eyes, and couldn't help sighing, "Niangniang, you lost your second elder brother, and you didn't go to ask for peace for three days in a row, the slave had already said that this move was inappropriate, you just didn't listen, now it's okay, make the emperor angry and leave...... The emperor just gave you the stairs, why not put down what you have at hand and accompany him to the garden?"

"Lan Ying, you talk too much, go to the outer yard to weed the flowers. ”

", the minions are also ......"

"You don't listen to what Hongu says, do you?"

Fang Yun dismantled the jewelry, and silently followed the conversation, the truth of this, Lan Ying and a maidservant all know it, she has been in the palace for so many years, can she not be clear?

She has followed the emperor since she was a child, and now she has been around for decades, and she has long been old, and she is not as bright as the bright concubines in the harem. But now, she didn't realize that the emperor was no longer as free and easy as when he was a prince for the throne, and he seemed to be blinded by power......

If this continues, no amount of affection will be wiped out.

So she took advantage of Hui'er's death to give the emperor a wake-up call, and wanted him not to indulge in the struggle for power, and to care more about the people and the people, is what he should do seriously, right?

"Queen Mother, Concubine Qu Niangniang asks to see you. ”

Qu concubine?

Fang Yun leaned back on the couch and sighed vividly, "What is she going to do...... However, the emperor has just taught him a lesson, and the palace is not easy to see, so invite people in. ”

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Qu twisted her body and came in with a sway, "Yo, the queen's mother has been in good health recently? ”

Oh, pretending to be a good hand.

Fang Yun didn't pay much attention to her, this concubine is now in the favor of the saint, all the women in the harem combined, they can't compare to her limelight, and they come to sneer at herself, it's not that it's unreasonable, after all, whoever enters the palace is coveting her own posteriority.

"The second elder brother, although he is not as smart as the other elder brothers, but after all, he is the emperor's concubine, although he doesn't say it, but he is always worried in his heart, where was I talking in my dreams last night, saying that I miss the second elder brother. ”

Fang Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, Concubine Qu has something to say, I'm afraid I don't know, will the emperor stay in her Zhongyu Palace tonight?

"Concubine Qu is so worried about the children of this palace, this palace is very pleased, you are the master of Zhong Yu Palace, and you have been favored every night, you should want to have a child of your own, you have been in the palace for some years, and you have not come out, is it a bit too much. ”

Out of nowhere......

"As a woman in the harem, it is your duty to spread the branches and leaves for the emperor, if you really can't do it, give up your grace as soon as possible. If the emperor is wet with rain and dew, there will naturally be more children in the palace. ”

As soon as she entered the palace, she relied on her beauty and figure to let the emperor pamper her for more than half a month. She slept for several months without an heir, and later learned that it was Concubine Yun who sent someone to add child-avoiding medicine to her daily diet......

Now although Concubine Yun has been demoted to a concubine by the emperor, although her body has been recuperated for many years, she may not be better......

I thought that the queen would always languish for four or five days when she lost her son, but I didn't expect it to hurt people like this. Concubine Qu secretly clenched her wrists, and was blocked by the queen's words, so she casually saluted, "Queen Mother, the concubine was unwell in bed last night, so she will go back, and I will say hello to the mother another day." ”
