(42) The past of the demon concubine
Wei Qing pulled the shell and hurriedly hid her face and returned to the palace, listening to the fat eunuch guarding the door, Taihong Palace was busy cooking that day, and the smoke was filling, and Wei Xiuyi was running fast, so few people saw her appearance.
As for why Wei Xiuyi suddenly hurried back, and then closed the door, there were many rumors.
Some said that Wei Xiuyi made a mistake in cooking and felt that he had lost face in front of the little prince, so he hurried back.
Some say that Wei Xiuyi and Qing Zhaoyi had a conflict and then played their dissatisfaction to the second prince, and the queen felt that this would teach bad children, so she sent her back.
There are even rumors that the shells around Wei Xiuyi were taken by the second prince, and Wei Xiuyi could only break up the two before they got acquainted.
However, regardless of how the rumors in the palace changed, the two parties never came out to say anything, nor did they suppress this message.
Not to mention the little prince, although Wei Qing is very amiable on weekdays, it is the first time that she has been embarrassed in front of a foreign man.
Can... It's not someone else's fault, she can't use her power to bully others and punish her, right......
What's more... She really didn't know where the son came from, how many elders in the family, the temperament of the parents...
No, why do you want to be crooked?
Compared with those, Wei Qing is even more anxious about another thing now:
Shen Qingjun is sick.
Seriously ill and bedridden.
This matter has to start from three days ago, or rather, from three years ago.
The day of May is actually nothing special, there is no festival, and it has nothing to do with the big events in Chenguo.
However, if Shen Qingjun is also considered a member of the royal family, then there is some involvement—not very good involvement.
Three years ago, Li Siyuan had just ascended the throne, and he kept filial piety for three months as usual - the emperor was different from ordinary people, he was also filial piety, but as the son of heaven, he was not allowed to serve for three years, let alone wear linen.
Therefore, he could only preside over the enthronement ceremony first, and then the whole country rushed to replace the red silk of the white sun with Bai Ling, and let Li Siyuan hold a state funeral with the emperor as the emperor.
At that time, Li Siyuan was in the process of bunching his hair, and he had not yet reached the crown, but he handled the two state affairs properly in an extremely hurried time, and for a while, the ministers were convinced.
Just because the first two sons of the emperor died one after another, so the palace hid Li Siyuan very well, and did not dare to reveal a few things related to him, at the same age, other princes have begun to take over the government more or less to make a name for themselves among the people, perhaps the people in remote areas do not know that the emperor has such a crown prince, therefore, Li Siyuan's first actions after ascending the throne made the people have a preliminary impression of him for the first time.
It's a pity that when the people began to think that this majesty must be Mingjun, Li Siyuan began to make his first big move.
The day after the March filial piety period had just ended, and the day after he took off the filial piety clothes in the dragon robe yesterday, the emperor announced the general election.
This...... It's not that it shouldn't, it's just that ...... Isn't it a little too fast?
Li Siyuan really seemed a little impatient.
Maybe it's just the constant persuasion of the Queen Mother or some misguided courtiers?
The people subconsciously beautify their majesty.
And then, I was even more shocked.
In such a large-scale election, from the most remote border pass to the most prosperous royal city, all the women who were eligible to participate in the draft began to shake for about a month by car, and before they entered the palace and before the draft training began, their majesty decreed that only Shen Qingjun would be accepted in the draft.
The whole country was shocked.
Countless people hurriedly rushed to inquire about who Shen Qingjun was, and there were even fifteen buses and thousands of scholars who jointly wrote a letter to beg the emperor to take back his fate, and the early dynasty was even more noisy, just begging the emperor to give other show girls a chance.
And Li Siyuan showed his domineering and stubbornness as an emperor for the first time.
He really left Shen Qingjun alone.
The ministers advised, and he discussed the people's livelihood and war situation with the courtiers, and changed the topic of the early dynasty; When the scholars are studying, he changes the examination questions and adds a new subject, so that they have no time to spare. When the people quarreled, he reduced taxes, lightly forced labor, built dikes, and pardoned minor offenders.
In this way, the matter was really done, leaving only a room of admonitions and a room of signatures, which were left by his cautious majesty in the book of grudges waiting to be cleaned up one by one.
Li Siyuan is very smart, he handles it very well, and the people and things he considers are almost exactly the same as he imagined.
Except for those show girls who came from all over the country.
The boat is tired, running overnight, and the water and soil are not adapted, and sometimes even those strong men will be seriously ill when they encounter things, not to mention those women who stay at home on weekdays and stay in the boudoir to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and female popularity.
Not only the imperial doctor, but also the doctors in the royal city who know how to heal are idle, running around and busy treating the show girls, but even so, it is still indispensable to fall flowers in the spring of March.
There is not a pearl that they are not cared for in the hands of their parents, there is no girl who is not waiting to meet His Majesty with anticipation and spring thoughts, and there is no one who is not the most beautiful and splendid flower in the right age.
I heard that Li Siyuan rejected them the day before, and the rumors came from where they came from the next day, they didn't have the opportunity to speak, and they didn't have the ability to write like those men, so they could only persevere, hoping for a turnaround.
But what came was the sadness of His Majesty's proper means, so that their experience was forgotten by the people of the world, and it was mixed with the bad news that the sisters who came together fell ill one after another, and even separated from life and death.
Then they were sent back.
Those who did not die inevitably left an indelible shadow, so that they did not dare to recall the prosperous royal capital.
The emperor did good deeds, but the misery of these women was indeed caused by him.
The people who gave Li Siyuan the sweet dates and ate them, and they all praised His Majesty for being blessed.
What about the karma that comes with human life?
Of course, I have to find someone to help His Majesty carry it for the dead ghost.
No, isn't the other protagonist the most suitable candidate?
The show girl named Shen Qingjun.
Who does she care?
Oh, General Shen's only daughter?
What's wrong with the general!
The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!
Oh, that Yipin general who has stabilized the frontier for many years?
Some silenced their voices, but many more forgot for a moment the generals who carried their loads on their way.
You said... They didn't ask Shen Qingjun what he thought?
Naive!
What does her mind have to do with us?
Does she ever ask His Majesty to leave her alone?
His Majesty left her alone with the infamy, so she has the responsibility to carry half of the pot!
It just so happened that she was still a woman.
How appropriate!
Isn't this the contemporary praise and reincarnation!
She, Shen Qingjun, is the demon concubine!
Demon Princess!
They cursed her with the most vicious language, guessed her with the dirtiest thoughts, and wanted to punish her in the most extreme ways.
In the end, it was decided to put her to death!
Such a demon should be set up with fire and burned to ashes by fire at noon!
