Chapter 262: Sleeping for You
(Cat flutter Chinese) "Back then, the emperor's desperate love for Concubine Xian, the elder brother of the mourning family controlled the imperial power with military power in order to support the mourning family to sit firmly in the back seat. The emperor favors the virtuous concubine alone, and the brother and sister-in-law tie up the palace in order to please the palace, which means that they tied up the palace and joined forces with it, and killed the virtuous concubine and other concubines.
The first emperor lost control of the imperial power, and lost the life of his beloved woman, and hated the palace to the core. Duan Yuji said that in the depths of her love, her emotions fluctuated slightly.
"If the first emperor was wet with rain and dew, the mourning family would not have conspired with his brother and sister-in-law to control power, override the imperial power, and suppress the emperor for more than ten years."
The concubine understands the distress of the queen mother, the queen mother loves her father deeply, and when the father leaves, the queen mother still thinks about it and is miserable. However, love is sweet and sour, and there are all kinds of flavors, and no one wants to taste only sweetness. ”
"A person's life can only have the taste of honey in his mouth, and he should let go of his hands, and he must not follow in the footsteps of the virtuous concubine, causing the country to suffer and losing his life in vain."
Yun Xiao was speechless, this was a tangled topic.
If Xuanyuan Rui is stained with rain and dew in the harem, Yun Xiao's affection can be embarrassed, but Xuanyuan Rui wants to give up for the clan to extend the descendants, and Yun Xiao is also embarrassed.
"The mourning family has never experienced the taste of love for half of their lives, only the deception and hypocrisy of men, and there is no sweetness in the bittersweet and sour."
Duan Yuji's lips trembled, she couldn't help the tumbling tide, sadly walked into the Buddha hall, knelt in front of the Buddha and closed her eyes, and participated in the Buddha for more than a year, in order to forget the past sins and forget the pain, let her heart be peaceful, and spend her old age in peace, however, her heart is still not calm enough.
Yun Xiao's mood was also depressed, and she knelt in front of the Buddha with the Queen Mother, closing her eyes and praying for herself to be healed, only she was Xuanyuan Rui's heir, everything was still happy and perfect, otherwise......
Duan Yuji recited the Buddhist scriptures silently, and it took a long time to suppress the red dust distractions, and her mood gradually calmed down a lot.
"Queen Mother, get up and rest when you are tired."
Yun Xiao helped the Queen Mother to the soft couch and copied the scriptures before going to the table.
Duan Yuji thought for a long time, slowly took out a silk handkerchief, and put it on the mahogany table in front of Yun Xiao.
"The mourning family understands that you and your husband and wife are deeply affectionate, but the emperor has no heirs, Rui'er is not willing to choose a concubine with great fanfare, then don't choose, accept a few fewer concubines, this is a handkerchief embroidered by Princess Yuping's youngest daughter Hui'er."
"Princess Yuping's daughter?"
Yun Xiao put down the pen in her hand, glanced at the mandarin duck handkerchief, forced out a smile, and shook her head lightly, "The concubines really don't dare to accommodate the pampered concubines, I'm afraid the emperor can't accept it." ”
"You know Yun'er, you know Yun'er's character, Yun'er is indeed a little arrogant, but you don't know much about Hui'er's temperament, she is a gentle girl."
Yun Xiao will never accept that mandarin duck pa, no matter what, she can't lure the wolf into the house, and she can't let that kind of pampered woman enter the palace to disturb the uneasiness, look up to herself or add trouble to Xuanyuan Rui.
Xuanyuan Rui ate lunch, and hurried back to the imperial study without taking a nap, Yun Xiao looked at the window lattice and pondered.
"Niangniang, what do you think, it looks very unhappy." Xiao Wan has been paying attention to her master.
"I'm afraid I won't be happy from now on." Yun Xiao retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes and sighed.
"What's the matter, didn't the Queen Mother tell the mother about the emperor's choice of concubine?" Xiao Wan asked guessingly.
"The Queen Mother Xu Emperor chose a concubine with little fanfare, but she must accept a few concubines, and she took a fancy to Princess Yuping's youngest daughter, Princess Yuping's eldest daughter Princess Zhaowang Xue is a pampered woman, and she is very arrogant in Zhaowang's Mansion, and the eldest daughter is so. The youngest daughter will not be virtuous anywhere. Thinking of Concubine Xue of King Zhao's Mansion, Yun Xiao was upset and entangled.
"If that kind of sharp woman enters the palace, there will be no peace in the palace." Xiao Wan frowned for a long time, and suddenly remembered what Xia Liang once ridiculed, [The selected concubine may not have the same heart as the queen, the queen might as well choose a caring maid by her side, like a folk maid, serve the emperor to give birth to the prince, and then pass on to the queen's name. Xiaowan, you are Niangniang's dowry girl, and you are the most suitable to give birth to a prince for Niangniang and inherit the throne in the future. Xiao Wan's eyes flashed with interest, "It's better for Niangniang to choose a favorite bedroom for the emperor herself, and give birth to the prince and inherit it to the name of Niangniang, and the queen mother will not insist on letting the emperor accept Miss Hui'er as a concubine." ”
"Choose a chamberlain for the emperor?" Yun Xiao slapped Xiao Wan.
"Niang Niang has to drill into the tip of the horns, the emperor accepts the concubine is a matter of time or time, Niang Niang may wish to start first, the slave recommends Qiuyue, Qiuyue was born in a small family of jasper, gentle and graceful, and loyal to the mother and the emperor." Xiao Wan couldn't help Yunxiao's hesitation, and said her thoughts cracklingly, "If Niangniang doesn't make a move, I'm afraid I'll have to fight with tigers and wolves for the rest of my life." ”
"Autumn Moon?" Yun Xiao frowned and repeated.
"Yes, Qiuyue is the best candidate, the slave knows Niangniang's thoughts, the emperor accepts the concubine, Niangniang feels very uncomfortable, but now it's a last resort, although Niangniang is resting, you don't have to worry about it, the slave and maid will arrange everything for you." Xiao Wan said firmly.
"Xiaowan, you are becoming more and more presumptuous." Yun Xiao drank angrily.
"Mother forgiveness." Xiao Wan knelt down on her knees and said sincerely: "Now only the slave and maid can solve the problems for the mother, and the slave and maid will not come forward at this time." ”
Yun Xiao was sad and grabbed her heart sadly: "Xiaowan, I know your loyalty, but the emperor is not the same as the concubine, this is ripping my heart, do you know how painful my heart is?" ”
"Niangniang, accept a reasonable concubine for the emperor, this is the best ending, don't hesitate anymore." Xiao Wan knelt on the ground, looked up at her master, and persuaded her bitterly, "If Niangniang doesn't start first, wait for the Queen Mother to accept some unindulgent concubines for the emperor, and compete with Niangniang all day long, then Niangniang will be even more heartbroken." ”
"You're making me fidgeting right now."
"Niangniang, the small pain is unbearable, the big pain will come, be decisive, the slave and maid will do it." Xiao Wan said and turned to leave.
"......" Yun Xiao watched Xiao Wan walk out of the room, her heart hurting as if she had been cut by a knife.
Xiao Wan pulled Qiu Yue aside, and the two thin shadows whispered on the front porch of the side hall of the dormitory, and Xiao Wan explained to Qiu Yue the queen's intention to be the emperor's concubine.
"Ahh The slave respects the emperor and respects the queen, how can she ......" Qiuyue was shocked, her face turned pale with fright, and she was anxious to shirk it.
"Sister Qiuyue......" Xiaowan didn't expect Qiuyue to be this kind of extremely repulsive reaction.
"Mother forgiveness." Qiu Yue knelt down in the direction of the queen's bedroom, "Niangniang, the slave knows that the emperor and the queen have a deep affection, and they are the best couple in the world, how can the slave and the maid insert it to be the emperor's concubine and share the emperor's love with the queen, what a sin!" ”
"Oops, Akizuki." Xiaowan persuaded in a low voice, "We are all close to Niangniang, for the sake of Niangniang, if the emperor accepts Princess Yuping's daughter as a concubine, if Miss Jiao relies on her noble status and bullies Niangniang in the palace all day long, Niangniang will be very sad." ”
"Xiaowan, I am a slave with a low status, I only fear the emperor, and I never dare to think about it, how can He De be the emperor's concubine, I can't do it." Qiu Yue shook her head.
"Qiu Yue, this is dedication to helping the queen, it is to offer loyalty to the queen, if you have the emperor's heir, your credit will be greater."
"......" Qiu Yue looked at Xiao Wan painfully, she only admired and aweed the emperor, and there was already an ordinary man in her heart, how could she leave her beloved to be the emperor's concubine?
"Sister Qiuyue, I don't force you, you think about it for an hour first, if you don't want to, you can refuse, just because I didn't tell you about it, nothing happened, in the future, let's accompany Niangniang into the abyss."
Qiuyue sat beside Xia Liang in despair, hanging her head and crying.
"Qiuyue, something happened again?" Xia Liang put down the pastry in his hand and looked at her in surprise.
"Xia Li, what should I do?" Qiu Yue looked at the good sister in front of her in pain.
"What's wrong? Come on, don't you tell me how I can help you figure it out. Xia Liang glanced at her and changed his posture to face her.
"Mother ordered me...... Serve the emperor and be the emperor's concubine. Qiu Yue was embarrassed, and she really couldn't say it.
"It's a happy event." Xia Li's eyes widened in surprise, and his heart suddenly jumped, what an excellent opportunity. waited for the rabbit by the queen's side, and the rabbit really came, and the building near the water got the moon first.
Xia Liang hid the joy, lightly hooked the corners of his lips, he couldn't use his hands because of the flour in his hands, he bumped Qiu Yue with his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Qiu Yue, are you reluctant to Xiao Yi?" ”
"You ......" Qiu Yue's face turned red.
Xia Liang glanced at Qiu Yue for a long time, "Sister is the person who knows you best, your mind can't hide from your sister, sister knows who you have always had in your heart." Xia Liang looked at Qiu Yue's face flushed, and patted his chest generously, "That's ...... My sister sacrificed herself for you and slept for you. ”
"How does this work?" Qiu Yue raised her eyes and glared at Xia Li, "This is not child's play, you can't do nonsense." ”
Xia Liang approached Qiuyue and said a little shyly: "I won't tell you, I have liked the emperor for many years, we are the best sisters, you won't be unable to see it at all, Qiuyue, you will fulfill me, I will replace you as the emperor's concubine, and you marry your favorite person, so that our sisters will not have the best of both worlds." ”
Xia Liang arranged for the sisters to have the best of both worlds, and Qiu Yue was still hesitant.
"Let's go, let's go see the queen together." Xia Liang couldn't help but say that he picked up Qiuyue and left, and the two hurried to the courtyard of the queen's bedroom.
"Sister Qiuyue, Sister Xia Li, is there something wrong with coming to the dormitory together?" The two walked to the front of the hall, and Xiaowan was intercepted.
Xuanyuan Rui had dinner, went back to the imperial study to deal with a few twists and turns, saw that a bright moon outside the window had risen to the treetops, got up and moved his muscles and bones, so that Chunlan, the palace maid of Qiankun Palace, put on the wind and walked out of Qiankun Palace.
"The queen didn't stop?" It's so late, Yun Xiao is not in the palace?
"Your Majesty, the queen is resting in Chengxiang Palace." Xiao Shunzi respectfully reported.
"Huh?" Xuanyuan Rui glanced back at Xiao Shunzi.
"Ugh." Xiao Shunzi was timid, trembling with fright, kneeling down and saying:
"The queen went to the plum garden of Chengxiang Palace in the afternoon to enjoy the plum blossoms, and rested on the spot when the weather was cold. Niangniang passed the word, the night was cold, the emperor didn't have to go over, and rested in Fengyuan Palace. "Cat flutter Chinese
