Chapter 168: Closest Relatives to Strangers
The carriage stopped steadily, but the people in the carriage did not get off.
Li Chun and a group of internal officials and guards all knelt by the carriage with bated breath.
It took a long time for the emperor to get out of the carriage.
Li Chun hurriedly followed the emperor while carefully looking at the emperor's expression.
After so many years of waiting, it was the first time that he was as scratching his heart and at a loss as he was today......
He is a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, and ordinary people have no way of knowing it all their lives, and the noble and noble families also know only half of it, and he knows all the secrets of the Heavenly Family......
Every time he coldly watched the nobles and officials and their wives, and even the deaf masters and ladies in the harem go to great lengths to find out the news, his heart would be filled with great joy.
This pleasure is even more pleasant than the pleasure of those who diligently give him the New Year's Greetings.
But today, he was pecked out playing with an eagle, and he tasted it himself.
The emperor left the palace for a day.
As for where the emperor went, who he saw, and what happened......
He, a close servant, knows nothing.
Whether or not this matter can be clarified affects not only his mood, but also his future and life!
Thinking like this, Li Chun cheered up his spirit and followed the emperor more and more respectfully.
The emperor is heading towards the Middle Palace!
The suspicion in Li Chun's heart is getting deeper and deeper, and his spirit is getting stronger and stronger!
He couldn't help but secretly wonder: husband and wife have no overnight feud, what they are talking about is an ordinary couple, like the emperor and queen, but they have been in a cold war for three years!
Three-year ......
Could it be that the emperor finally let go of the death of the emperor's eldest son?
The queen mother is a fairy beauty, and the dragon and phoenix fetus are so cute......
The wind of early summer carried an imperceptible and subtle heat, Li Chun looked at the door of the middle palace and thought: If the emperor stays in the middle palace tonight......
Then, I'm afraid the direction of the harem will also change......
At this time, in the middle palace, it was not at all the charming scene of husband and wife that Li Chun had guessed.
In the west hall, the emperor sat on the window kang table and cooked tea himself, and the queen did not sit opposite the emperor, but sat at the small table in the room from afar.
The expressions on the faces of the two were the same indifference.
And there is not the slightest resentment, anger, joy, etc.
As if they were not husband and wife.
has not walked side by side for more than ten years, has never had children, and has not been in the Cold War for three years.
In the silence of the room, only the fragrance of tea lingers.
In the end, the emperor spoke first.
He poured a cup of tea, placed it on the kang table, looked at the queen slightly, and said, "You may not believe it in the past, but now you should always see it clearly......
"Houdang Wenchen, Xinglinchun, Beishen, Jianghu chivalry, and, my useless ......"
The emperor didn't say the whole thing, he paused, and continued: "The things you think you can rely on are actually useless. ”
The empress's eyes became colder and colder as she looked at the emperor.
The emperor didn't seem to see it, and Wen Sheng continued: "I don't say this to ridicule you. ”
"I told you before that it is not easy for you to be a boudoir woman, and I admire you very much!"
Admiration......
The coldness in the queen's eyes dissipated, but the hands in her sleeves were clenched into fists.
She sneered in her heart: Oh, admiration......
What a "admiration"......
It was the same in the past, and he patiently and modestly reasoned with her, and sincerely praised her ideas, and lamented that she was not a man......
Once, after such an emotion, he looked at the atlas and said casually: "However, if you follow me, even if you are not a man, you can make a difference!"
After so many years, the queen still remembers that scene vividly.
The content of that sentence, the look on his face when he said that sentence, and the furnishings in the study of Duanwangfu that night.
Time was frozen in that moment, seared into her heart.
When he said that, his whole body was covered in the flickering warm yellow candlelight, and a shallow smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
She comes from the modern society, and has seen countless Chinese and foreign male stars laughing on TV and on the big screen, and has also accompanied the client's daughter in middle school to listen to the concert of top traffic, and watched the bright neon, the handsome young idol who is as handsome as a god burst into laughter that overwhelmed the audience.
But all those laughs, all those laughs that were enhanced by makeup, hair, drama, music, and lighting, were no match for the smile that he unintentionally showed while sitting in the candlelight.
Unintentionally......
They were all thoughtful and thoughtful, and she thought that the smile was his unconsciously revealed sincerity.
admired her sincerity......
At that time, she had that thought, and she didn't feel that she was self-inflicted.
What did ancient men want?
Marry a wife and marry virtue, marry a concubine and marry sex.
What do modern men want?
Good-looking skin, interesting soul.
She has it all.
Although she has seen very few romances, judging from her encounters after crossing, it is a proper golden heroine script.
Mary Su Shuangwen, although there are a lot of slots, but if it falls on yourself, it is indeed very enjoyable......
After wishful thinking that King Duan was very affectionate towards her, she only felt that it was very pleasing to the eye when she looked at him again.
I feel that he has ambition and means, looks and abs, his identity is extremely noble, and the struggle process is also very inspirational......
Thinking that although he is an ancient man with many limitations in his thinking, he can't be blamed for that.
So, obviously he didn't say or do anything, but she made up a book with a full plot "The Princess of the Black Belly Prince......
So much so that later, when she saw that he had not expressed his heart to herself, she thought that modern women did not have to twist and pinch like the ancients, so she simply ......
I recommended a pillow seat......
In this way, there is a dragon and phoenix fetus.
Thinking of this, the queen's hand clenched tighter and tighter.
On the night of the round house, all her empty delusions were shattered, and they became the deepest shame in her two lives!
Before having sex, he asked her seriously, "Have you thought it through?"
At that time, she was not so shy about the modern women in the core, but considering that the shell was a jade and clear ancient deep lady, she lowered her eyes when he asked her.
I couldn't see the look on his face when he asked questions.
So, she nodded.
By the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.
If he really had a deep affection for her as she had suspected, then he would never have been so calm and restrained when he approached her......
She recommended herself as a pillow on the grounds that she wanted a child.
And he gave her the child.
Besides, nothing else.
Although she hates him to the bone now, when it comes to details, she shouldn't actually hate him.
So, who is to blame for her experiencing such a ridiculous and humiliating affair?
The Empress looked at the Emperor, and he was saying to her, "There were all kinds of ...... in the past."
"You have your thoughts, I have my ...... Delusional ......"
"But you and I are husband and wife ...... the end?"
The emperor picked up the teacup: "If you can put away those means from now on, I will also respect you as the queen." ”
"You are the queen, and Yi Yi is the only concubine of the middle palace."
"Female studies, can also be discussed."
The Empress looked at the Emperor fixedly, a smile in her eyes.
The laughter in her heart was even louder: Listen, he's saying, delusional......
It's funny......
What she couldn't get by fighting with him, he gave it to her at the moment!
What step can he do for that person?
Why did he think that she was still the confused woman she was a few years ago, and a few plausible words could fool her?
In the noisy laughter in her heart, the queen heard herself respectfully reply: "The concubine is deeply guilty, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"
