Chapter 699: The Mirror on the Opposite Side
Ji Qiang looked sideways at the window, the candlelight hid a small shadow on her fair cheeks, and the lively and agile apricot eyes in the past lost their former brilliance at this time, muttering to herself to the window lattice.
"Since I succeeded to the throne, the ministers at the bottom have asked the emperor to open up a harem, and the draft girl will extend the heirs, if it weren't for my stomach fighting, I married and gave birth to a pair of children, and the emperor had a harem to dismiss from the beginning, otherwise there would have been a lot of warblers and Yanyan in this harem."
"Now Yang Meiren is a mouth, once she is favored, she will open this opening, how can the ministers under her be willing to live in peace."
Regarding this morning's incident, Ji Qiang saw it more clearly than anyone else, and understood that it was also because of this that she lost her temper so much, because Xia Jingnian lost her, and also for the future.
"Mother's ......"
Leng Xiang had thought of so much, hearing her say this, her tone froze, she knew that she had lost her sense of proportion just now, and she thought she had seen it thoroughly, but she didn't know Niangniang's worries.
"You don't have to say it anymore, I am also dead-hearted, I will live like this in the future, the only luxury is to be able to go out of the palace and reunite with Yu'er and them, they are just four-year-old children, how much grievance can they bear, since they were born because of their father's mother, they have suffered a lot, I thought I could live a safe life, who knew that such a thing happened."
Thinking of this, Ji Qiang couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and once wondered if it was a good strategy for her to marry into the heavenly family, she knew that she was born in the heavenly family and had the helplessness of the heavenly family, and she also knew that it was not easy for those princes and princesses, but she insisted that the children who were pregnant in October gave birth to the most distressed person before.
……
"She is angry with me and Yang Meiren, she thinks in her heart that only she and Yu'er are them, she is angry with herself, complaining about herself, but she was blocked by me, so she sprinkled fire on me, what am I in her heart, since I succeeded to the throne, I don't know what I did wrong, it should be husband and wife love, like glue, but now it has become like this."
Grounding Ji Qiang is not the best policy, not only is Fengluan Hall uncomfortable, Xia Jingnian is still not happy, when he was still the king, although he was restrained everywhere, he was free.
Now that he is in the imperial city, sitting on the dragon chair, he even has a little more suspicion with his former henchmen, he knows that Ji Qiang has been worried about the affairs of the harem, and the introduction of Yu'er's disappearance has completely exploded.
"Niangniang's heart for the emperor, these subordinates are all in their eyes, who is not envious, the emperor should not think too much, Niangniang is angry and distracted."
Fang Ping also couldn't understand why it was like this, the mother was sad and happy, he was not happy, the emperor was angry and didn't sleep all night, he was even more sad.
In this case, for the sake of the subordinates, can't the emperor and queen get along in harmony?
"Where is she out of proportion, but she already has a plan in her heart, she already has a knot in her heart because of the prince's affairs, and now Yu'er has been victimized by thieves again, her heart is becoming more and more depressed, and now I am afraid that she will regret marrying into the royal family."
In the end, Ji Qiang understands what the minister means, and Xia Jingnian also understands her thoughts.
Ji Qiang is not a person who is afraid of death and things, so he didn't hesitate for too long to accept being with him, but now that he has children, he is inevitably timid, for fear that he will not be able to protect his children.
"The emperor doesn't want to talk nonsense, Niangniang will not think like this."
Fang Ping also didn't expect him to be so pessimistic, so he hurriedly interrupted and didn't let him continue.
Xia Jingnian took a glass of wine, looked up, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"After the death of the first emperor, I succeeded to the throne in a hurry, and now it is only a few years, and those former ministers in the court have not been completely convinced of me, and I am facing the situation between the DPRK and China, and I know that it is not easy to be a king."
"After that incident, the prince was frightened, although it was not a big deal, but he was getting older, but he was my eldest son, but he had to face so many things at a young age, why didn't I feel distressed, since that incident, I secretly vowed to protect my beloved in the future, but ......"
Thinking of Yu'er who was sent to that kind of pickled place, Xia Jingnian's heart ached, that child looked very much like herself, but her temperament was her mother's temperament, and it was the blood that most integrated him and Ji Qiang.
Such a flattering and lovely child, and the only princess, how could he not put it in his heartache, pretending to be nothing during the day just to pass the time for those who were waiting to see the jokes, but in fact, how could he not be worried.
"Now there is another matter of the eldest princess, my two children have suffered a lot, I am a king but I can't do anything, I am not in a hurry, but according to the queen's current body, it is like being able to leave the palace, I am only three dear people in this world, two of them are gone, I can't let go of the queen's hand again."
Yu'er is still nowhere to be found, Yu Xuan has not moved since he left the palace except for occasionally sending back one or two letters, this huge palace did not feel how empty it was in the past, since the two children left one after another, he felt lonely, if Ji Qiang also left, Xia Jingnian couldn't think of how he should face this empty Forbidden City in the future.
"The Emperor's ......"
Seeing that he thought so clearly, where did Fang Ping come from to persuade him, he just sighed and didn't do what he said.
After leaving the palace for a few days, Xia Yuxuan, who only sent a message back to the palace, didn't particularly know what was going on in the palace, and he didn't know that his father and mother had reached such a stalemate.
is still full of desire to find Xia Nianyu's whereabouts.
Since he learned from the grandmother in Guangxiantai that Yu'er was likely to be sent to Yangzhou, he sent someone to investigate the specific place that was sent to Yangzhou.
During the period of waiting for the results, Xia Yuxuan was not idle, and first asked Ying Yi to invite Lord Yan of Dali Temple to come over and investigate Guangxiantai thoroughly.
He wanted to see what kind of people dared to be crowned with a royal sign at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
This action is very great, making people panic in the capital, those dignitaries and nobles, the emperor's relatives and relatives are honest during this time, Rao is itchy hands are unbearable, but they are also obediently waiting at home, not daring to go to the fireworks willow lane.
It provoked those noble ladies in the capital to promote Yan Ruyu of Dali Temple.
Guangxiantai, the head of the green building, was first sealed and then checked, such a big move, so that other peers were conscientious and hurriedly hid the dirty things they had done before.
However, Rao is like this, after Xia Yuxuan's quick and accurate operation, he also captured a lot of gangs that abducted and sold girls, first twisted those traffickers and sent them to the yamen, and then sent those abducted girls back according to their nationality, which caused many poor people to feel that Lord Yan was an iron-faced and selfless immortal.
