Chapter Thirty-Four: Recruiting Beautiful Men
After a few days out of the palace, I really saw a lot of things, these things were clearer than ever, and they were the clearest without high walls. But the palace still has to go back.
Throw away all your precautions and lie quietly in the dormitory alone. There are all kinds of shadows in my mind, and I always unconsciously think of my mother's expression and words, and she really doesn't care about herself anymore. It's still deliberate, Yan Zi is very distressed, she doesn't know if her mother will care about herself, whether it's lip service or psychology.
This taste is so distressing that anyone can spurn and curse themselves, but my mother cannot. The former mother was He Zeng's kindness and kindness to give her warmth, but now it is this mother who gives her infinite darkness, which makes her so sad and her heart is like a knife cut.
No, she doesn't believe it, absolutely not. After all, blood is thicker than water, and she definitely doesn't believe that the so-called external conditions can restrain the real blood relationship, she doesn't believe it. It must be that the mother is deliberately angry with herself, it must be.
Yan Zi suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the dragon couch, and walked towards the Fanghua Palace. The hall is still **solemn, if it weren't for the dust on the ground that blinded the light, maybe this would be the place that everyone dreams of. Pushing the door in, everything here is still the same, there is no trace of movement, even the leftover rouge gouache used by the queen of the previous dynasty is lying half-open in front of the bronze mirror, without any traces of finishing.
Touching the dust on the bronze mirror, it seems to go back to before. Even if you can't see it with your own eyes, you can recall what a panicked scene it was, it must have been the news of the death of the country when the queen got up to make up, and the country had been destroyed before she had time to put on the phoenix crown.
Further inside is the Mu room, separated by a screen from the phoenix couch. Next to the screen is the wardrobe, and there is a small wooden box in the wardrobe, and when you open the box, you find that there is a phoenix crown inside. Even if the reincarnation of the sun and the moon is man-made, even if the splendid Fanghua Hall has been covered with dust, it has never been able to cover the dazzling phoenix crown, and the carved things on it are still shining brightly, but it is a pity that the person wearing the crown has long since left.
Yan Zi was originally a daughter, and she never thought of wearing the queen's phoenix crown, but she only occasionally came here to walk around and felt that there seemed to be fewer people wearing phoenix crowns in the harem. Suddenly came the idea to fill the harem, women have been suppressed by men for many years, and it is always a man with three wives and four concubines, why don't you let yourself be three husbands and four concubines this time.
Anyway, my mother doesn't care about herself, why don't she let herself do what she wants to do, why do she have to endure all kinds of grievances to make others happy, and she still hurts herself deeply. Since she can't be a good daughter in her mother's heart, she simply overthrows everything and builds her own empire, and all the rules and systems are up to her.
Thinking of this, the dejected eyes suddenly became treacherous and charming, and the thin red lips hooked up to reveal a few traces of evil.
"What are you thinking, so obsessed?" Suddenly, a familiar voice broke the contemplation, and the man outside the house walked inside, and his eyes also fell on the phoenix crown in Yan Zi's hand.
couldn't help but joke, "It's really a good thing, no one has worn it for so long, and it's still so well preserved." Why do you suddenly want to wear a phoenix crown, you are already the emperor of a country, do you even want to take away the position of the master of the harem? Sheng Linsheng looked at Yan Zi mockingly.
Yan Zi didn't refute, but said something else, "Jiangshan is already in hand, and there is only one one left to manage the harem." I can't be called an emperor who wants both the outside and the inside. Where is the majesty of this! This is an understatement, not painful, as if it could be easily blurted out.
But it was particularly harsh to Sheng Linsheng's ears, what does this mean, casual talk or decision? So who does she want to find, how many men do she want, what kind of life does she live, and where is he going to be?
Many questions lingered in Sheng Linsheng's mind like a mess, and he felt more and more that he couldn't understand this woman, and at the same time, the feeling of gain and loss in his heart became more and more obvious. I don't know when a line of people will appear in their midst, and whether these people will be an obstacle to their approach. Although I have never seen a few men jealous. The women in the palace are rare, but now they are just reversing the gender, and the others are not the same.
Hey, I'm so tired, Sheng Linsheng only feels physically and mentally exhausted, the more he does, the farther he goes, and I don't know when they have gone farther and farther. He really didn't know what to say, forgiving himself for not being able to say congratulations to Yan Zi easily, and his proud self-esteem didn't allow him to say it to her. In the end, only silence remained.
I found a stool in front of the bronze mirror and sat down, and said no more.
Yan Zi looked strange, "This stool is so dusty, and I'm not afraid of sitting on a butt full of dust?" He looked at Sheng Linsheng jokingly.
But Sheng Linsheng didn't think it was funny, didn't answer, and still sat down at the table deflated.
Yan Zi realized that something was wrong with him, put away his smile and looked at it seriously, "What's the matter?" Just joking, there was silence in the blink of an eye. It is said that women's hearts are needles, and I think your men's hearts are also elusive. I really don't understand how you laugh and cry at the same time. Yan Zi complained half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Sheng Linsheng still didn't speak, what else could he say.
Yan Zi didn't know what to say, so he had to change the topic and seek some other chat opportunities: "By the way, how did you check it?" ”
"After checking, those poor people were bought and brought to the imperial city by some men in black. They reveal that these men in black are an organization that is always trying to discredit you. The rumors spread by the court on the rivers and lakes are all their 'credit'. ”
Yan Zi listened to Sheng Linsheng talk about it interestingly, and suddenly smiled playfully, thinking of Bai Jikao. "It seems that these rumor-mongering parties are still very literate."
"Huh?" Sheng Linsheng was a little confused, not knowing what Yan Zi was talking about.
Yan Zi smiled to himself, and there was a playfulness between his lips and teeth, as if the hunter wanted to devour the prey a little bit after discovering it.
"By the way, do you really want to fill the harem?" Even though he knew that such a question was stupid and lost his proud dignity, Sheng Linsheng couldn't help but ask.
He really hoped that Yan Zi would take back what he had just said, but at the same time, he was a little apprehensive in his heart. Because Yan Zi's words have always been half-joking and half-serious, maybe she really decided to do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been staring at the phoenix crown for a long time.
"Hmm." The simple and clear words completely interrupted all Sheng Linsheng's reverie, and now it was clear that she really wanted to do this, and she couldn't think of any reason to convince herself that all this was fake. Because I really heard it clearly.
"And who do you think of?" When he said this, the whole person was trembling, and even his voice was full of meaning. Although he knew that the words should be over at this point, it would be really stupid to ask again, but his heart still had to pounce on stupidity, and he pounced so thoroughly that even he hated himself like this.
Yan Zi shook his head, looked at Sheng Linsheng, and teased with an innocent look, "Do you want to check for me?" ”
Boom - an invisible knife stabbed hard into the heart, only to feel a shattering sound secretly sounded, and then the corners of the mouth also trembled. Sheng Linsheng tried his best to hold his heart with his hand to prevent the embarrassment from being revealed, and then left directly from Fanghua Hall without looking at Yan Zi.
Before Yan Zi could stop him, he had already gone out of the hall, and he never looked back, and his steps were hurried and heavy today, as if he was preoccupied. I don't know why my heart is also a little uneasy.
Could it be that she was wrong? Shouldn't the emperor have three palaces and six courts? No, it's absolutely impossible, she has to do this, punish this group of inhuman cheap men!
No matter what, the news of the empress's recruitment of a husband was released, and the whole city released a list to recruit the emperor's husband.
This news once again caused a sensation in the city after the empress banned her mother, although everyone knows that what the empress has done since she ascended the throne is extraordinary, but this behavior still makes many people have mixed reviews, but more are depreciated.
In the eyes of everyone, sons are all left at home to inherit the incense, not to mention that a woman who is so shameless and has a wide range of beautiful men, her behavior is simply outrageous. Many people have begun to scold the empress on the street. Ying had given the opera garden a gold medal for avoiding death before, allowing anyone to discuss national affairs with the owner of the garden, and the owner of the garden could also return to the empress one by one. Therefore, many people dare to speak out, and even scold in the street.
But under the words, there are also some poor families who have to give up their sons in order to survive, and they have no way to let their sons do these shameful things.
The mother wiped her tears and prepared dry food for her son to send him to the city. Of course, among the men who entered the palace together, there were also all kinds of profit-seeking, after all, in the eyes of those who have taken countless exams so far, they can marry the empress as a wife for many years, and their families will immediately fly to the branches. In the future, it will be respected by generations, why not do such an easy thing, why not go far.
So all kinds of suspicious people took their luggage on the road, stood on the city and looked down, and all the men squeezed their heads into the palace. Yan Zi looked angry and laughed, angry that those men who were not angry actually wanted to climb the branches with this, and laughed at their ridiculous behavior. It is really ridiculous and sad that so many incompetent people should come out of a big country.
Yan Zi has been standing high on the city wall, his hands around his chest, and his eyes look towards the city with disdain. And at this time, Sheng Linsheng was also standing on the city wall and looking at the city, he was always curious about what kind of man she would find. I never thought that it would be so sloppy, and it was given at the discretion of a casual order, how is this kind of behavior different from other emperors, it is really shameless.
Yes, this is the only word that can describe Yan Zi, although I don't want to use this word, but today's behavior can only be said like this. Sheng Linsheng kept snorting and didn't speak, staring down with his eyes, if his eyes could kill people, he would have already laid down underneath. But I can't, and every place that this eye sweeps is stabbing my heart fiercely.
