Chapter 450: Finale
In the past, Rong Jinxing was also curious to ask Wei Beiyan why he didn't marry a wife, but Wei Beiyan didn't give him an answer, and it wasn't until Si Heng said that he missed his mouth later, and Rong Jinxing knew that Wei Beiyan liked his mother.
This answer is really unexpected.
This matter, everyone who knows it is covered in their hearts, they don't dare to talk nonsense, and those who don't know are covered in fog, I don't know why, after all, Wei Beiyan and the queen mother have never crossed an inch, if they don't know the situation, no one can guess such an answer, they just don't want to live.
However, the most dangerous and unspeakable thing is the truth.
However, Rong Jinxing also felt that it was not so surprising, after all, according to Wei Beiyan's means, if it was an ordinary woman, if he really liked it, there was nothing he couldn't get, only the queen, and he couldn't touch it.
And his mother is so good, not only his father can see it, but others can also see it, and it is not surprising that the teacher will like it.
Prince Xiang's painting boat, Princess Xiang looked at the pair of dazzling emperors and queens, and when she turned around, she was not surprised that King Xiang was no longer around, only her son pulled her sleeves and was next to her.
Stretched out her hand to hold her son, and then looked up, there was a little more smile on her face, she was no longer jealous, as Concubine Taixian said, envy, jealousy, but she couldn't force it.
After so many years, she has also understood that there are some people that she can't envy.
And she has the backing of the Yu family, as well as the support of Concubine Taixian, even if King Xiang doesn't love her, but he also respects her, even if her wrist is not strong enough, no one in this Xiangwang Mansion dares to cross her, although this life is not so strong, but it is also stable.
Next to the painting boat of Xiangwang Mansion is the painting boat of Shen Guogong's Mansion, the gray-haired Father-in-law retired last year to recuperate, and walked around when he had nothing to do on weekdays, and occasionally went to the first school to chat with Shen Ye and Old Man Huo, although the two did not welcome him, but it was not important.
The playboy picked up the wine glass and poured the wine, looked at the front and sighed: "It's too bad to raise cubs, in the next life, the miscellaneous family will raise a daughter, just like the queen mother, who is as beautiful and intelligent as the queen's mother, which wolf cub wants to come, come and fight one by one." ”
Shen Ye: "......" a eunuch who covets other people's daughters every day.
The day of the Wanyuan River sacrifice became a new festival of the Xia Kingdom, which is called the Wanyuan Festival, and a sacrifice will be held on this day every year, and people will be sent by the court to worship, and every new emperor will come to worship once.
On that day, the river was crowded with painting boats, and the common people would also come to see the holy face.
After the sacrifice was over, Shen Jinqiao and Rong Junzhi walked down the altar together, and the Praetorian Guards immediately surrounded the two of them in the middle, walked directly to the car, sat on it and patrolled along the river for a while before returning to the palace.
On both sides of the river, many people held flowers and waved colorful silks, perhaps these people did not understand how much convenience a river digging can bring, but it did not prevent them from cheering for today's grand ceremony.
With an extra cloak on his shoulders, Shen Jinqiao turned his head to look at Rong Junzhi, the two looked at each other and smiled, and naturally shook hands.
Looking outside, Shen Jinqiao also sighed that this river was really dug like this, and she didn't spend her whole life waiting.
"Is Your Majesty happy today?"
Rong Jun tidied up Shen Jinqiao's clothes, and looked at her side face: "Happy." ”
Such a crisp answer made Shen Jinqiao couldn't help but turn his head to look over, and the next moment Rong Junzhi leaned over and pecked her face.
Shen Jinqiao's old face turned red instantly: "What are you doing?" Someone watching? ”
Rong Jun said domineeringly: "What if you see it, the emperor and queen know that everyone loves her, and they can't envy it." ”
Shen Jinqiao was speechless, affection is a fact, but it is not enough to show it to others, not to mention that he is old, don't you feel embarrassed?
However, this matter is not clear to His Majesty, so he simply changed the topic.
"Cough, after today's sacrifice, the river transport business land is opened, and it will be busy for a while."
Rong Junzhi disagreed: "There are so many officials in the court, let them do more, otherwise what will they do?" ”
Speaking of river transportation, Shen Jinqiao couldn't help but think of Wei Beiyan: "The young master's health is getting worse and worse, it is better to let him retire from the Shang League to recuperate." ”
Rong Junzhi shook his head: "Now that the Shang Alliance is making a lot of trouble, they all know that Wei Beiyan is going to retreat, staring at that position, now is not the best time, Wei Beiyan has Jinxing to follow, let Jinxing experience it, with Wei Beiyan watching, there is not much wrong." ”
Shen Jinqiao was speechless: "Your Majesty, Ah Xing is only eleven years old. ”
The word merchant treachery is not unreasonable, although the merchant alliance is not composed of officials, but those officials below are much more exciting than the court, and they are blatantly competing for interests.
This is also the reason why Wei Beiyan has not been able to resign from his position as Si Zheng for so many years, except for a fox like him, no one can suppress those demons and monsters.
Although she admits that her son is very smart and has received a little bit of Wei Beiyan's true inheritance, she is still too immature compared to those people.
Rong Junzhi was obviously much more relieved of his son: "Wei Beiyan looked, we will help him calm down, if this is not good, he will not be the prince at all." The Shang Alliance has a complex heart, it is the best place to experience, and when he sees through the routines of that group of people, if he ascends the throne one day, who else in this court can play him? ”
Shen Jinqiao nodded: "That's right." ”
Shen Jinqiao didn't know the truth, but as a mother, she always unconsciously wanted to protect her child under her wings.
After a round of inspection, it was already dark when the car returned to the palace, and the palace people hurriedly ran over: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Concubine Taixian is not good." ”
Concubine Taixian has been pampered over the years, and her body has been well recuperated, but when she was young, she was jealous in the palace, and she also encountered a lot of selfish means.
When Shen Jinqiao and Rong Junzhi arrived, there were already a lot of people around, King Xiang and Princess Xiang, Princess Fude and Master Fuma, several children, and the concubines of the harem.
Princess Fude had been crying for a while, her eyes were red, and her face was crying.
"Queen's sister-in-law." As soon as she saw Shen Jinqiao coming, Princess Fude seemed to have found the backbone, and the concubine next to her was abandoned by her: "Sister-in-law of the queen, concubine her...... Woohoo......"
Shen Jinqiao stretched out his hand to hug her and patted her lightly to comfort: "Don't be too excited, the concubine will also be uncomfortable, I'll talk to the concubine for a while." ”
Shen Jinqiao bypassed the screen and went in, Concubine Taixian was lying there dressed up and dressed up, with makeup on her face, and she didn't look like a dying person.
Concubine Taixian looked at Shen Jinqiao and smiled lightly: "The queen is here!" His Majesty is here too. ”
Shen Jinqiao walked over and sat down, tucking the corners of the quilt for Concubine Taixian: "Why did it become so serious?" I should have let someone say it sooner. ”
Concubine Taixian stretched out her hand to hold Shen Jinqiao's hand, and smiled contentedly: "Your Majesty and the Empress are already busy with the affairs of Wanyuan River, you have benefited the people of the world, where can I disturb." ”
Shen Jinqiao couldn't laugh: "You are still so good at thinking about others, why don't you think about yourself?" ”
Concubine Taixian is very open: "I know my own situation, this body has run out of oil, it's time to go, don't bother, I have been drinking medicine for the past two years, I have no taste to eat, I don't want to toss." ”
said and said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne for all these years, I have also been blessed, and I have no regrets when I can see my children and grandchildren full of family harmony." ”
Life and death, Shen Jinqiao is also very uncomfortable, really not as calm as Concubine Taixian, although Concubine Taixian is not their mother, but after so many years of getting along, Concubine Taixian is indeed a very good elder and deserves her respect.
"I've worked hard for you all these years, I will take good care of this Fude princess."
Concubine Taixian smiled: "It's not hard, count my life, and I will live the most stable life in the following years, I should thank Your Majesty and the Queen." ”
This is Concubine Taixian's true words.
In the prince's mansion, she is a side concubine, in the palace, she is a virtuous concubine, the queen and the cold concubine are always pressed on the top, there are also concubines and concubines on the left and right, and there are so many concubines and concubines eyeing each other, in order to give birth to and raise these two children, she is cautious in her words and deeds, step by step, more than ten years of fear, and has not slept for a few days.
On the contrary, she has been a concubine all these years, and the power of the harem is in her hands, although she is a concubine, there are a lot of respect, awe, and power, but the queen is benevolent but full of intimidation, and there are not so many intrigues in the harem.
The most noble and stable time in her life is these years, not to mention that she can still see her children and grandchildren full of people, what is not satisfied?
It was Princess Fude, she glanced at Princess Fude who was crying, and said with a smile: "This girl, after so many years, she hasn't seen much growth, so she is even more like a child, and she will bother the queen in the future." ”
Shen Jinqiao: "Fude is my own sister, don't talk about this." ”
Concubine Taixian smiled with satisfaction.
Concubine Taixian had already said a lot of things to King Xiang before, and she didn't have much strength after talking to Shen Jinqiao, she reluctantly glanced at the people in this room, slowly closed her eyes, her face was serene, and there was a relieved smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she had entered a sweet dream.
"Concubine Xian Niangniang...... Death! ”
"Mother!"
"Grandma Huang!"
A room full of people knelt down, crying sadly and depressingly.
Shen Jinqiao and Rong Junzhi glanced at each other, Rong Junzhi knelt down on his knees, and Shen Jinqiao knelt next to him.
When King Xiang saw the hem of the dragon robe, he suddenly raised his head, and when he saw the emperor kneeling in front of him, his eyes shrank.
From the crown prince to His Majesty, Rong Junzhi did not kneel a few times, that is, the emperor died, Rong Junzhi just went in to take a look at it and let people prepare for the funeral, from beginning to end, he knelt twice in front of the spirit and in front of the tomb to make a show, don't be too perfunctory.
Needless to say, Shen Jinqiao didn't kneel because the emperor died because she was pregnant, but now, the two of them knelt in front of his mother and concubine together, without the slightest reluctance, which shows that they respect Concubine Taixian from the bottom of their hearts.
King Xiang knocked deeply, these years have been worth it.
Concubine Taixian died, His Majesty ordered to be buried with the Queen Mother's ceremony, posthumously named Shengrui Ci Xiaoxian Empress Dowager, on the day of the funeral, it was His Majesty and several princes to help the soul together, the city was full of filial piety for three months, the real scenery of the funeral.
Concubine Taixian's mausoleum is the place she chose herself, and she specially asked not to be next to the emperor and the empress, the farther away the better, and she really didn't want to see them again.
Not long after Concubine Taixian was buried, Concubine Leng in the Ming Palace's mansion also died.
Five years ago, Shen Jinqiao happened to pass by Leng Guifei's palace, remembered such a person, and asked people to ask, Leng Guifei is still alive, but she has been tortured by life to the point of madness, no matter how much hatred and hatred has dissipated over time, Shen Jinqiao asked people to send Leng Guifei to the Ming Palace, and asked the imperial doctor to treat her, which can be regarded as the final love.
Leng Guifei died, Shen Jinqiao would not go to see it, the past grievances were written off, so be it, order someone to bury it well, but this time it gave King Ming a chance to come out and bury Leng Guifei in person.
The old courtier remembered that King Ming was such a person, and he was very surprised, oh, it turned out that King Ming was still alive, and Concubine Leng had just died, I couldn't think of it.
The new officials looked confused: There is still a Ming King in the Xia Dynasty?
It should be said that the former King of Ming, after the failure of the rebellion, was cut off from the prince and demoted to a concubine, but many people don't remember the name of King Ming, so they still call it King Ming.
A small and simple tomb is the final destination of Concubine Leng Guifei, compared to the beautiful burial of Concubine Taixian, it is really a bit bleak.
King Ming did not return to the Ming Palace, he asked to see the emperor, and Rong Jun agreed.
King Ming was brought into the palace and looked at the luxurious palace, as if he was in another world.
And Shen Jinqiao was also stunned when he saw him again, His Royal Highness the King of Ming, who was once high-spirited, was now dressed in old clothes, gray hair, and his face was full of wrinkles, obviously less than forty, but he looked like he was about to be sixty years old.
King Ming looked at the noble and unparalleled emperor and queen, Rong Jun was majestic and heavy, and the queen mother... The years treat her really partially, twenty years, he has been imprisoned for twenty years, but the queen mother is the same as when she was newly married.
On the other hand, Feng Qiuyun, who married him, has also been ruined into an old woman over the years, and there is no trace of the elegance of a stunning beauty, if Feng Qiuyun sees Shen Jinqiao like this, she is afraid that she will collapse.
Although he was locked up, he was not ignorant of the things outside, no matter how jealous and angry he was, he had to admit that they were more suitable to hold this imperial power, and he had already lost completely.
"The guilty minister knocks to see His Majesty and the queen."
"Flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Rong Junzhi has no superfluous expression towards King Ming, not to mention brotherhood, Rong Junzhi has never shown brotherhood to any prince, and he is too lazy to do that.
"What's the matter with me?"
King Ming knelt and did not get up: "The guilty minister came to ask Your Majesty for the three children, they are still young, the criminal minister really can't bear to be trapped there for the rest of their lives, begging Your Majesty to let them out, they must be ordinary people in peace, begging Your Majesty to be gracious." ”
Kneeling down and begging for his children, King Ming seems to be really repentant, too, he can't think about it for twenty years, it's really not saved.
Shen Jinqiao thought about it and said: "King Ming is now a commoner, Your Majesty might as well give him a house in the west of the city and let him move in with his family." ”
King Ming was shocked, this is to release their whole family?
Rong Junzhi didn't think about it: "Listen to you." ”
King Ming hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, more queen mother." ”
Rong Junzhi asked King Ming to take him down, and then said to Shen Jinqiao: "Those children of King Ming have been locked up for so many years, and they must have resentment, aren't you afraid that he will become Jinxing's enemy in the future?" ”
Shen Jinqiao chuckled: "What are you afraid of?" It should be regarded as a training for Ah Xing, and it is not so easy for them to become Ah Xing's enemies, although they have escaped from captivity, from now on, every rice and a grain of salt have to be earned by themselves, and they have to toss. ”
Rong Junzhi thought about it and smiled, let King Ming make money to support his family, that would be really torture.
----
Since Xiao Axing began to deal with court affairs, Shen Jinqiao has gradually let go, spending more time with their father and son, occasionally dealing with the affairs of the harem, and chatting with Princess Fude and them in his spare time.
It's another year of peony blossoms, the queen's peony feast, but this banquet is only three people.
Shen Jinqiao, Leng Yi, Bai Youran.
Bai Youran is often in the army, his body is a lot stronger, and his appearance has changed a little, not as cute as when he was young, he has become a melon seed face, and his face has traces of time, but the whole person no longer looks like he once was, and he is very energetic.
Leng Yi has been a little bit in the past two years...... Swelled, although she tried her best to maintain it, her figure was still a little fat, after all, she gave birth to three children, her cold face was no longer there, there was a little more meat, but she looked rich and kind, but she lived a very comfortable life, it was... Wide-hearted and fat?
Leng Yi didn't feel that she was hit by Shen Jinqiao's side, she went into the palace from time to time to find Shen Jinqiao, Shen Jinqiao watched her gain weight, and she was shocked at first, but she got used to being fat, anyway, Qi Shaoyu didn't dislike it, she wouldn't toss herself, otherwise she would be sick, and she would be the one who suffered.
The three sisters did not wear palace clothes, but only wore the simplest service, and their hair was just coiled casually, which was very simple.
There has never been a barrier between the three of them, even if it is the farthest Bai Youran, although they don't meet often, Bai Youran's paintings are sent to Shen Jinqiao and Leng Yi every month, and Shen Jinqiao and Leng Yi will reply to her together every month.
When you are in a good mood, you are happy together, and when you are in a bad mood, you are angry together, although Shen Jinqiao can't travel far, as long as Bai Youran is free, Shen Jinqiao will send the Praetorian Guards to pick her up in Beijing to play, and the three sisters get together, and then send her back.
Over the years, everything around them has changed, but as long as the three sisters sit together, there seems to be no difference between a forty-year-old and a fourteen-year-old.
And Shen Jinqiao is the most fortunate and noble of the three of them, many people think that they should be jealous of Shen Jinqiao, but what are they jealous of?
Are you jealous of her original intention that never changed, or jealous that she became the umbrella that the queen held up for them?
Those who understand you will understand it for the rest of their lives, and those who don't understand it will never understand.
In the peony garden, three women are talking and laughing, one plays the piano, one dances, one paints, talking and talking and making trouble, the peonies in the garden are all Huo Huo by them, enough trouble, tossing enough, the three of them just lie on the ground, all the place is covered with peony petals, fragrant.
The three of them are lying like this, what queen mother, Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Yan? It doesn't matter, they're who they are.
On the opposite side of the garden, three men sat together drinking tea, one emperor and two marquis.
The years have not bypassed anyone, they are not young.
The three people with excellent martial arts could hear the excitement on the other side, and Qi Shaoyu said: "Mrs. Chenna, she will be so happy when she sees the queen's mother." ”
Yan Qing also said: "Leisurely too, as soon as I come here, I look like a little girl, and I am the happiest." ”
Rong Jun held the teacup and didn't speak, the queen mother would never be so unscrupulous to mess with him, he would never admit that he was a little jealous.
When Shen Jinqiao and the others had had enough fun, they finally remembered that they still had a husband who was left to dry, so they waved goodbye and went to find their husband to take home.
Of course, this is only the first day of their reunion after a long absence, and there will be half a month to go, and the three of them will often see each other, and on the other hand, some people will often be ignored.
Qi Shaoyu and Yan Qing said goodbye and left one after another, but His Majesty the Emperor sat there and didn't move, but he waited for a long time and didn't wait for the queen mother to come and take him away, and his face was getting darker and darker with the naked eye.
The palace people with eyes immediately went to look for the queen mother, but they didn't find it, and learned that the queen mother was called away by His Royal Highness the prince, okay, His Majesty heard it, and his face darkened.
Rong Junzhi didn't go to Shen Jinqiao, so he went back to the emperor's dormitory by himself, bathed and washed, and then lay down and slept.
When Shen Jinqiao came back, he heard that Rong Jun was asleep and thought it was very strange, why did he sleep so early?
Yuzhu quietly told Shen Jinqiao what she knew.
“......”
Your Majesty is actually angry because of such a thing? There's no one left.
Poof, laughing, couldn't help laughing, but didn't immediately go in to coax people, but turned around and went to the bath, bathed and changed clothes, and then returned to the dormitory, looking at the arched ball on the bed, motionless, it seemed that he was asleep, but even if she didn't approach, she could be sure that he was awake, so it was strange that he could fall asleep when he was angry.
After pouring a glass of water and drinking it, he slowly walked over, lifted the quilt and lay down, looking at the top of the tent for a long time without speaking.
The breathing disorder of the person next to him, he knew that he was irritable and angry when he heard it, Shen Jinqiao laughed helplessly, turned around and reached out to hug the person.
"Azhi, angry?"
Shen Jinqiao leaned his head on his back: "Is it because I was angry with Leng Yi and them, or because I went to Ah Xing and didn't come to you?" ”
"It's all there." Shen Jinqiao rubbed gently: "I won't say I'm sorry, I'm not wrong." ”
Sensing that someone's resentment is even stronger, Shen Jin Qiaowan'er, as he gets older, he is getting more and more childish.
"Leng Yi and Youran are my best sisters, I don't have any restraints with them, I can play wantonly, and I don't have to care about the majesty and dignity of the queen, if you are there, they will definitely not be comfortable, and you can't get into the relationship between us."
"Ah Xing is my son, we are related by blood, I naturally take him to heart, he called me, I naturally have no excuse to be a mother, I don't have to think about it, as for you, ......"
Shen Jinqiao opened his mouth and gently bit his back: "Do I love you or not, you don't know in your heart?" No matter where I go during the day or who I meet, I will surely return to you at night, and wake up in your arms in the morning, and besides, I will ignore you once today, what kind of temper tantrums? ”
“......”
Rong Junzhi instantly became even angrier, thinking that she was going to coax him, but what happened? That's it?
was so angry that Rong Junzhi couldn't be bored any longer, turned around and pressed the person down, and gritted his teeth viciously: "Queen Mother, if I don't cure you, you really don't know how thick the sky is." ”
Shen Jinqiao didn't admit defeat either, hooked his neck and gnawed on it: "It's not certain who will govern whom." ”
Rong Jun smiled angrily, kissed back fiercely, and didn't give Shen Jinqiao a chance to resist.
Shen Jinqiao: "......"
At an age, there is no shame or impatience.
Rong Junzhi's body has eaten countless poisons, although the dank has superb medical skills and the medicine he uses is also rare in the world, but the poison will damage the body after all.
Gradually, there were sequelae, always infocused, and occasionally unconscious, which scared Shen Jinqiao and Rong Jinxing a lot.
Although Rong Jinxing was against his father, he couldn't bear to be so painful and hardworking, so he began to supervise the country at the age of fourteen, and at the age of sixteen, Rong Jun was in charge of him, and King Xiang was the regent, and Wei Beiyan was the prince, and they jointly assisted the new emperor.
On the day of his accession to the throne, Rong Jinxing solemnly knelt in front of his father and received the jade seal, and promised extremely firm that he would be diligent in government and government, be a good official for the country and the people, and never disappoint the expectations of his father and mother.
Rong Junzhi solemnly patted him on the shoulder, and explained in a serious voice: "You have grown up, and you are very happy to be a father, and this country will be handed over to you in the future." ”
Rong Jinxing nodded heavily: "Please rest assured that my son will do his best to be a good emperor, stick to his heart, and will never embarrass his father." ”
On this day, Rong Jinxing took over the heavy responsibility and couldn't sleep all night, but the next morning he went to the court and learned that his father and mother had traveled by boat from the Wanyuan River.
Rong Jinxing: "......" is careless!!
