The queen's throne cannot be moved.

The queen is the daughter of Shangshu, Shangshu is the elder of the two dynasties, and Shangshu has already handed over all the real power in order for his daughter to sit firmly in the back position.

This queen did not bring any benefits to Shangshu's family, but made their family walk on thin ice everywhere.

And Yin Huaiqing, even if he doesn't have much love for the queen, he will protect the queen's position because of this grace of the monarch and ministers.

I already knew these things, and I deliberately asked him to make it difficult for him.

He was silent for a long time, and in the end he didn't tell some nice lies to deceive me, he shook his head: "I can give you anything except the queen's position." ”

His brows were tightly locked, I couldn't bear to look at him tangled anymore, reached out and stroked his eyebrows, and said: "I don't want the queen's position, I don't care about your past, but you must promise me that you can only have me in your heart from now on, and you are not allowed to accept new concubines in the future." ”

He smiled slightly, his fingers running through my hair: "If other women talk to me like this, maybe I won't see the sun tomorrow." ”

I also smiled with him: "I have only one wish, that the one I love loves only me." If the emperor can't do it, it's better to set me free. ”

He nodded and said gently, "Okay." ”

"Words have no basis, and it will take a long time to see people's hearts, so I will test you. For three years, you will not accept a new concubine, and your heart will end with me. ”

"Okay, I promise you."

He agreed without thinking about it, and stretched out his hand to move on me again, but I slapped his hand away and said angrily: "You don't want to touch me until I have no name or point." ”

He rubbed the back of his hand that was slapped red by me, and said, "I didn't know that Boss Chu was so old-fashioned? ”

"I'm responsible for myself!"

Ten

From that day on, I remained in the palace as a female official.

Before, outside the palace, I always heard people say how humble and cruel the women in the palace lived, they had to revolve around a man, and they carried the glory of the whole family behind them, so they had to fight.

But I think that they have no worries about food and clothing, they have someone to serve them, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and as long as they don't have desires, they can live well.

The emperor announced that I was in charge of the lamp every day, and when I was tired of correcting and playing, I rested in the study and did not go to any concubines.

While he slept, I watched him sleep like a child and saw the dawn.

A month later, the queen called me to her Jingyang Palace and said to me with a smile on her face: "Miss Chu, this palace knows that Your Majesty and you have a heart-to-heart agreement, so it plans to make decisions for Your Majesty and make you a concubine, what do you think?" ”

I shook my head and refused, but I didn't say why, only said: "Thank you for the kindness of the queen, but forget it." ”

Her eyes turned red: "Are you dissatisfied with the concubine?" This palace knows that it is indeed wronged to let you be a concubine with your talent and appearance, but according to the rules, the highest woman who enters the palace can only be a concubine. What do you think of this? When you are pregnant with the emperor's heir in the future, this palace will personally ask the emperor to make you a concubine, second only to this palace, okay? ”

Her tone was extremely humble, but I still rejected her: "The slave doesn't care about the position, so don't embarrass the slave and maid." ”

"But...... The emperor hasn't spoiled the harem concubines for a month for you, and if it goes on like this, how can it be good to delay the heirs? She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, held my hand and said, "Miss Chu, please persuade the emperor." ”

I have persuaded, I have really persuaded.

Although I didn't want him to pamper other concubines, I was more worried about being the target of public criticism, so I persuaded him to stay somewhere else at night, but he didn't want to go.

I also told him about the heirs, but the emperor said that he already had six sons, and there were many heirs.

I didn't know how to tell the queen that she was crying like this, and I couldn't bear it, so I had to nod and answer.

In the evening, the emperor called me to the imperial study again, and I said to him after he finished commenting: "Why don't you go to the queen's mother today?" You haven't been to the harem for a month, so be careful that you can't suffocate your body. ”

He lifted my chin, looked at me and smiled, "I promise you that you will not have any more concubines, and you will not spoil any more concubines." ”

I had no choice but to explain to him: "I mean there will be no more in the future, there are already ones before, then it can only be counted, and it can't be because I asked these concubines to stay alive." ”

But he smiled and said, "Except for you in this palace, none of the others I married voluntarily." ”

I know that no amount of persuasion will help.

Actually, I don't want to persuade either.

The queen couldn't wait for my response, and finally came to the imperial study alone one night.

She was carrying a pot of stew, and as she brought it to the table, I saw a burn on her wrist.

She smiled gently and said to the emperor: "This is stewed by the concubine herself, the emperor is in charge of state affairs, and he must remember to eat on time, Mu'er is still shouting today that she will memorize the "Tao Te Ching", and she will recite it to her father." ”

I don't know if the emperor saw the injury on her wrist, he only glanced at the queen, then moved his gaze to the stew, and said with a smile: "I know, I will go to see Mu'er when I have time." ”

The queen's eyes drooped slightly, but she didn't say anything, and gave the emperor a bowl of soup and said, "Your Majesty, drink a bowl while it's hot." ”

The emperor was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked at me, I understood that he felt guilty about the queen, and he couldn't bear to refuse the queen at this time.

But what does he see me doing? Are you afraid that I will not agree? I'm not that careful.

I simply turned around and went out, and casually took the other palace maids on duty out with me.

After a while, I suddenly heard a crisp "bang" from the inner sanctum, as if the porcelain bowl had been thrown to the ground.

I was wondering what was going on, when the queen came out with red eyes, and when she came to me, she glared at me sharply, and the cold in her eyes was something I had never seen before.

She snorted and held back her tears: "The emperor called you to go in alone." ”

After she said this, she left.

I was puzzled and hurried in to see what was going on.

In the inner hall, the emperor was lying on the bed of the Arhat, his face was burned red, and he looked very uncomfortable......

I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't bother to pick up the debris on the ground, so I hurriedly walked to the emperor's side, reached out and touched his forehead, it was hot and scary.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Do you want to call a doctor? ”

He shook his head, leaned over me, wrapped his arms around me, exhaled hot air in my ear, and said weakly, "Queen, drug me." But I didn't touch her. ”

I was stunned, I read all kinds of Fengyue stories in Beijing, and looked at his reaction at this time, so I naturally knew what kind of medicine it was, and I also understood where the queen's chill came from.

It would be too embarrassing for a dignified queen to be so humble as to use this way to courtship her husband, and she has not succeeded.

I was thinking wildly, and he suddenly kissed me, and he didn't let go until I couldn't breathe, and kissed me again at the base of my ears and neck......

I bit my lip and reached out to push him.

I could feel his hot body through the clothes......

I suddenly thought, is it too unfair for him that he abandoned the entire harem for me, but I insisted on my principles so much and didn't give myself to him?

I closed my eyes and thought to myself, that's it, I've tested him enough, I trust him.

But he suddenly paused, pushed me away, and said in a trembling voice, "Go and call the imperial doctor." ”

I hesitated, he turned his face away, and said, "Hurry up, I won't touch you until I give you a name, and I will definitely do what I promised you." ”

A warmth spread from my heart, if it weren't for the fact that I was still a little shy, I would definitely take the initiative to dedicate myself to be his antidote at this time.

I quickly sent someone to call the Imperial Doctor.

When the imperial doctor came, I learned that the emperor had broken his palm in order to endure the medicinal properties.

I admit that in this moment, I really fell in love with him.
