Chapter 158: Falling as Old (4)
After a lot of chaos, and after instructing Concubine Jian to raise the fetus with peace of mind, Princess Duan returned to the main courtyard, and the bright moon was already hanging high.
She looked at the bright moon, and suddenly had an interest in admiring the moon, and ordered someone to prepare fruit wine and place it next to the wisteria flower stand in the courtyard.
Princess Duan is not in good health, it is not suitable to drink, if it is a weekday, the grandmothers and big maids in the main courtyard will be politely dissuaded, but tonight's situation is special, they did not say anything, and presented fruit wine according to Princess Duan's instructions.
Princess Duan poured herself a drink, and suddenly remembered a poem from the previous dynasty:
Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio.
When she was young, she only thought that the artistic conception of this poem was very beautiful, and it was not until tonight that she understood the unspeakable loneliness in this poem.
And the one who taught her to memorize this verse......
Her eldest sister ......
Committed suicide for love, couldn't beg for death, and married the doctor who saved her life, and now the famous General Mu in the northwest.
Princess Duan's eyes lit up.
She was very concerned about her eldest sister and felt ashamed.
Compared with the eldest sister, this little twist and turn she suffered is really nothing.
Not even, twists and turns.
It's just that one of her husband's concubines is pregnant, and she didn't know about it in advance......
If she had learned the "Women's Training" better when she was young, not only would she not be stunned at this time, but she would have rejoiced in the prosperity of her husband and son......
But she had no intention of learning when she was young, and in her spare time, she especially liked to read the words of those heroes and beauties, talented and beautiful women, and liked to listen to dramas, so she had unrealistic delusions in her heart.
A lifetime of a couple......
How to take the things in the book and drama seriously......
Princess Duan raised her head and blinked, and drank all the wine in her cup.
She told herself that in the future, she would never bother herself again.
As long as King Duan does not favor his concubine and kill his wife, she will try her best to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife.
Respect each other as guests, regardless of the wind and moon.
From now on, that's it......
In the drunken haze, Princess Duan vaguely saw King Duan coming from the moonlight, sat down opposite her, and took the wine glass in her hand.
It was probably a dream, she thought.
King Duan must be accompanying Concubine Min tonight, how could he come to the main courtyard?
Since it was a dream, she could leave behind the constraints of the day and act freely......
Princess Duan thought so, supported with one hand, and looked at King Duan carefully.
He sat in the soft moonlight, a little less cold and solemn during the day, and his indifferent and elegant bearing became more and more prominent.
is not like a regent who has a monopoly on power, but like a scholar with excellent learning......
She was born stupid and didn't read very well, but because of her good face, she deliberately said that she was impatient to read, and she didn't want to see sour literati.
But in fact, she was very envious and admired those who read well and were knowledgeable.
Hugh wants to say that it is a great Confucian like Mrs. Zhang, it is her younger brother Rong Chi, Rong Chi was stupid and not good at speaking when he was young, but her mother was full of eyes on Rong Chi, she was jealous of Rong Chi, and she couldn't look down on Rong Chi, and she really couldn't talk about how much sister and brother love Rong Chi did.
Later, Rong Chi became a student of Mrs. Zhang.
Although there are many people outside who are very disdainful of this, thinking that Zhang Taifu deliberately chose a piece of elm pimple in order to eliminate the emperor's vigilance.
However, she felt that Mrs. Zhang was one of the most knowledgeable people in the world, and those who could be accepted as disciples by him must be outstanding.
Since then, she has seen her younger brother very differently, and the more she looks at it, the rarer it becomes.
Having said that, if King Duan is not the prince of the Heavenly Family, but a scholar with an ordinary family......
With his talents, he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, make a difference, and leave a name in history!
Princess Duan thought like this, her eyes lit up for a moment, and then quickly dimmed.
How can there be so many ifs......
Just like at this moment, even in a dream, although he is dressed simply, the crown that binds his hair and the ancient jade he wears around his waist all show his dignity and extraordinary.
She is married to such a husband.
He would be accompanied by many beautiful women, who, though she had the name of a wife, were actually not much different from those women.
A lifetime of honor and disgrace, a lifetime of joys and sorrows, all tied to him.
Princess Duan suddenly understood, and the beauties at the family banquet were competing for beauty......
It's ridiculous that she wants to "raise eyebrows and respect each other" with him......
There is a huge difference in their status, if he is interested, he can naturally respect her, but if he is impatient, he can cold her.
What would she do if there was a day?
Just like the years when the emperor favored Concubine Xu alone, what could Empress Jian do?
Firmly holding the emperor in the palm of his hand, the two saints came to the dynasty, and finally replaced him, the queen who could do this, for thousands of years, was only the empress of the previous dynasty.
Princess Duan suddenly felt very sad.
Everyone envied her marriage, and she was secretly proud at first, but it wasn't until tonight that she got a glimpse of the inside of the golden and brilliant appearance of the Heavenly Family......
She is still just a small princess at the moment, and she has been married for three years, and only one side concubine is pregnant.
She's already a little excited.
In the future, when she becomes the queen, there will be more beauties in the harem, and those beauties will do everything they can to conceive a dragon son or a prince who harms others......
At that time, the palace was deep and the night was long, how should she stay up?
Thinking like this, Princess Duan suddenly burst into tears, she looked straight at King Duan, and asked: "Your Highness, there are men in the people who only marry one wife and do not accept concubines, but is there an emperor in the heavenly family who only marries one queen and does not have three thousand beauties?" ”
Is there an emperor in the heavenly family who only marries one queen and does not have three thousand beauties?
King Duan lowered his eyes, avoiding Princess Duan's gaze, and only spoke after a long time, he did not answer Princess Duan's question, but said: "Jian's matter, don't mind ......"
"I need an heir......"
"You're not in good health......"
Princess Duan looked at King Duan in a daze.
It was a dream, she thought.
If it wasn't a dream, how could King Duan explain to her that Concubine Jian was pregnant?
He needed an heir, and she wasn't in good health......
How should these two sentences be understood?
Yes, he took pity on her poor health, so he got close to the woman next to him?
Or did he need an heir, and she was not well, so he got close to the woman next to him?
Princess Duan didn't think deeply.
Either way, it doesn't really matter.
Importantly, the word "heir".
Importantly, he needed an heir......
Princess Duan persistently asked: "You asked to marry me back then, also because of the heir?" ”
Before the words fell, Princess Duan realized that this question was stupid.
She was only fourteen years old when she married him, which was not the most suitable age for childbearing, and her parents' family was not a prosperous family.
No matter why King Duan married her, it would never be because of the heirs who married her.
Sure enough, King Duan said helplessly: "How can you think so......"
Later, when she asked him why he had married her, he did not answer, but first ordered her to rest, and then sat on the edge of the couch and covered her with the quilt himself, and asked her if she understood what he had said to her tonight.
Princess Duan rubbed her forehead behind her back the next day, and she only vaguely remembered one or two of the dreams after drinking last night.
She remembered that she had dreamed of King Duan, and they had been talking for a while, but she couldn't remember what they had said.
Only then did Princess Duan know that she had the problem of not remembering things after drinking.
She thought that it was indecent to be drunk, and she would have to quit drinking in the future.
But later, Queen Rong often drank alcohol.
