There is no such thing as empathy
The new emperor ascended the throne, all officials surrendered, and taxes were exempted for three years, and the whole world celebrated.
The queen took her son by the hand and almost stumbled as she walked out of the hall. Xing'er, it didn't take much effort to win a full house.
Xing'er and I continue to live in the palace without a body, in the palace where we once lived, and no one disturbs us, no one dares to disturb us.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he rewarded all the princes, which was a reward and an expulsion. However, the new emperor is young, and the real person who is in charge is Xing'er. At the beginning, Gao Feng wrote "I" in Xing'er's palm, and the word "I" was a holy decree for Xing'er to export.
The princes were about to leave the palace and go to their fiefdom to petition the queen, hoping that King Anning, the son of the queen, would go to the fief, and the new emperor agreed.
The new emperor named the empress as the empress dowager of Anning, and the new emperor's biological mother was also the empress dowager.
Empress Dowager An Ning was very unusually noisy and quietly accepted the arrangement, which was unexpected.
Before Empress Dowager An Ning left the palace, she came to see Xing'er.
"Bold, when I saw the Empress Dowager An Ning, I didn't kneel down and salute."
The maid beside Empress Dowager An Ning was very eyeless and scolded Xing'er. Xing'er didn't even give her a look, but looked at the Empress Dowager An Ning questioningly, and the Empress Dowager An Ning waved her hand and let the maid go out first.
It seems that the Empress Dowager An Ning is not here to find trouble today, she sat down unceremoniously and poured herself a cup of tea.
"Do you know why I lost to you?"
Empress Dowager An Ning took a sip of tea, looked up at Xing'er and asked, but Xing'er was obviously not interested in her topic and did not answer.
Empress Dowager An Ning was not angry, she took another sip of tea and said:
"Everyone said that I didn't know the etiquette, and that I was dressed festively during the state funeral, hahaha, what a joke. When I was three years old, I was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, at the age of five I was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and at the age of eight I learned etiquette and music. ”
Xing'er couldn't understand the oppression of women in this era in the human world, so the words of the Empress Dowager An Ning also moved her a little, and she replied:
"Yes."
Empress Dowager An Ning got Xing'er's response, was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"This is not the biggest joke, the biggest joke is that I entered the palace at the age of sixteen and became a queen, but the emperor doesn't love me."
When Empress Dowager An Ning said this, a little pain flashed in her eyes, but she immediately returned to normal. She looked at Xing'er, smiled and said:
"Any idea why I don't wear mourning clothes? Because Gao Feng is not worthy. Why should I mourn for someone who does not love me, but who has imprisoned me? ”
The smile on Empress Dowager Anning's face became a little distorted, this is how deep the love is, how much hate is cut.
"In this imperial city, the man who came to my house to ask for marriage stepped through the threshold of my house, and I could have chosen a person who loved me and loved me, and treated me wholeheartedly for the rest of my life. But a decree changed my fate. ”
The two most helpless and pathetic words in the world are "original", which represents regret and failure. Empress Dowager An Ning had lost the calm she had when she first came, and she clenched the teacup in her hand tightly, not wanting to embarrass herself because of her gaffe.
Xing'er may be sympathetic, but this word doesn't seem to appear in her life, but Xing'er is indeed unusual, she has tea for An Ningtai, which can be regarded as an expression of comfort.
Empress Dowager An Ning continued, but her tone was much calmer.
"Gao Feng didn't love me, but he chose me because my father was a former imperial master, and he was taking advantage of the situation while expressing his favor to the important ministers of the former dynasty. In short, he is just using me, and I am a pawn in his hands, and I may become an outcast at any time. ”
There was a deep sense of sadness in Empress Dowager An Ning's words, she was grieving for herself. However, she suddenly smiled again, smiling like a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love.
"However, I fell in love with Gao Feng, and I fell in love with him at the first sight. I take care of the harem for him with all my heart, I treat every concubine kindly, and pay attention to every prince. I love him, and I hope he has no worries, and I hope that he will be okay with everything. ”
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager An Ning's smile froze, and she recalled bad memories again.
"Until, when he was drunk and shouted a name in the night, his name was Xing'er, I instantly felt the sky fall. I knew that Gao Feng didn't love me, and I knew that he didn't love anyone in the harem, so I thought he didn't love anyone. Therefore, I can accept that he loves no one, I still love him, but I can't accept that he loves others deeply, but I still love him deeply. Do you understand, Xing'er? ”
From the beginning to the present, the Empress Dowager An Ning has been sometimes sad, sometimes laughing, sometimes gentle, sometimes crazy...... It's even richer than the face-changing scenes on the stage, but I only see helplessness.
"I understand."
When Xing'er replied with the word "I understand", I instantly understood why Xing'er would take care of the Empress Dowager An Ning abnormally. There is no empathy in this world, there is only the sympathy of two people who have the same experience. Xing'er can't love it, so she understands the feelings of the Empress Dowager An Ning, so she listens to the Empress Dowager An Ning's chatter for a long time.
I suddenly looked nervously at Xing'er, but she didn't look at me, I knew she knew I was looking at her, and she deliberately didn't look at me.
However, the more Xing'er did this, the more nervous I became, but there was nothing I could do. The cycle of cause and effect, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, is not unreasonable.
Empress Dowager An Ning got Xing'er's affirmation, and suddenly she was relieved, she took Xing'er's hand, Xing'er did not resist, the two of them had a feeling of seeing each other and hating each other, and they talked very happily.
……
"Xing'er, Gao Feng loves you, I admit it. In the future, I will no longer love him, and in the next life, I will never enter the emperor's family. ”
After Empress Dowager An Ning said this, she said goodbye to Xing'er.
Xing'er also seems to have changed as a person, she no longer calls me sister, no longer talks to me, just wholeheartedly supports the new emperor, and pays back the life she owes Gao Feng.
In the blink of an eye, Xing'er and I, as human beings, have wrinkles crawling up our faces.
When the new emperor reached the age of fourteen, he married an ordinary show girl, and then became pro-government.
This ordinary show girl does not have a solid family background, but fortunately, she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she does not fight or grab. The show girl chosen by the new emperor Gao Zixuan himself looks very similar to Xing'er when he was young, but Xing'er didn't pay attention to this detail.
After the new emperor took power, he personally named Xiunu as the queen, and Xing'er personally awarded the new queen the phoenix seal. With the assistance of loyal ministers on the outside and the persuasion of Empress Xiande inside, Xing'er has paved the way for the future of the new emperor Gao Zixuan.
Xing'er is going to leave, she has already returned Gao Feng a stable and prosperous life.
On the day we left, the new emperor personally sent it outside the palace gate and knelt down to see Xing'er leave.
Once, Xing'er led Gao Zixuan to ascend to the throne step by step, just because he was the prince who was really sad for Gao Feng. Now, Xing'er has left, and no matter how difficult the road in the future is, Gao Zixuan can only go by himself. There will never be a man who will hold him, hold him, lead him.
Xing'er and I have been reborn in just a few decades, witnessing three generations of emperors. The country in the human world really can't be hired.
Let's go back to Beggar Street, which is no longer the original Beggar Street, but is now the most prosperous street market in addition to the Imperial City.
Our home is still a school, but it has been built more spacious, and Song Yu used to be the master.
Xing'er and I haven't spoken for many years.
