449 Emperor and Empress
Pei Jinzhen's heart was very depressed.
Not only did I feel sad for the queen, but I couldn't help but sigh for the world, but I could only sigh.
Xiye is almost a forgotten corner of the palace city, and here was the cold palace of the previous dynasty. It's just that since the founding of the Great Liang, but after two dynasties, the first emperor reigned for only one year, and then Emperor Yonghe ascended the throne.
Emperor Yonghe worked hard, was diligent in political affairs, and did not often linger in the harem. Compared with the emperors of the previous dynasties, his harem concubines are really not much, because no one is too favored, and the entire harem is still peaceful, and for more than 20 years, no concubines have been relegated to the cold palace.
Of course, except for the beauty who had committed adultery with King Fu, she didn't have a chance to enter the cold palace for such a big crime.
In short, more than 20 years after the founding of the Great Liang, Xiye finally ushered in its first owner.
But she was the queen of the dynasty.
Empress Zheng has changed out of a gorgeous brocade dress, only wearing a half-worn plain rattan flower long gown, since entering this Xiye, no, it should be said that from yesterday to now, she has not had any unwilling and resentful expression, she has been faint, peaceful.
"Mother, the minions have brought you something."
Although this Xiye is a little simpler, it is not as bad as imagined, I am afraid, there are still people who have cleaned it, although it is not as gorgeous and fine as Fengzao Palace, but it is still clean and elegant.
At this time, the people from the Department of Internal Affairs came to deliver things, bedding, clothes, and some commonly used furnishings, and after a while, I saw that the palace that seemed empty before was gradually able to live.
The people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivered the things, bowed and retreated, and the palace door was closed again, and through the crack in the door, you could see the forbidden army guarding outside day and night.
"Niangniang, this must be ordered by Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I still remember the old feelings, and when Your Majesty figures it out, I will definitely return my mother's innocence." Su Ying said with relief as she wiped the table.
Empress Zheng always said lightly, "If the edict is not abolished for a day, the palace will still be the queen for a day, and he will never treat the palace badly." When Empress Zheng looked up, she saw a bird passing in front of her, and she couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, and she smiled.
This smile is Shu Lang that Su Ying has never seen, she raised her head a little strangely, the top of her head, it is still a boxy sky, and what she saw when she was in Fengzao Palace, it is no different, and now in such a situation, Niang Niang is not only not half worried and anxious, but very comfortable, and the smile earlier is actually the peace and comfort she has never seen.
Empress Zheng was in such a comfortable state until the night.
The wind rose, the iron horse hanging at the corner of the eaves clanked, and the palace gate of Xiye was also pushed open, and two attendants opened the way, hugged one person, and walked in.
The casual smile on the corner of Empress Zheng's mouth came to an abrupt end at this time.
He squatted down, the etiquette was thorough, and his tone was not half a point different from that on weekdays, "Your Majesty." ”
The person who came was Emperor Yonghe. He was just dressed in regular clothes, and when he entered the door, his eyes were fixed on Empress Zheng.
He actually came for a while, and at first, he stood at the door, hesitating. Through the crack in the door, she saw the garden, standing under the eaves, looking up at the iron horse at the corner of the eaves, with a smile on her face.
He was in a trance, thinking that it was unknown night, he was dazzled, and that smile was like a lifetime, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.
Such a smile used to be common, but it was so long ago that there was no trace of it. And now, such a smile, even in a dream, to see, is a luxury.
Today, he finally saw such a smile again, from the initial disbelief to the confirmation that it was true. Because, he clearly saw that little by little the smile disappeared because of his arrival.
In an instant, she was back to the queen he knew.
And he, in an instant, gathered all his thoughts, including the agitation of the moment, and also fell silent, and he became the majesty that others and Empress Zheng were familiar with.
"Queen, please."
Empress Zheng stood up and let Emperor Yonghe into the palace.
Emperor Yonghe entered the palace and walked around, Empress Zheng personally served a cup of tea, and the waiters and palace maids who were waiting were very interested in avoiding it, and in the palace, only the emperor and queen were left.
Emperor Yonghe took the teacup, but he was not in a hurry to drink it, his eyes were contemplative, and he fixed his eyes on Empress Zheng.
"I thought that the queen would feel wronged, but I didn't expect that the queen would be quite happy."
"If you are away from the center of power, you are also away from disputes, and there is nothing wrong with that." Empress Zheng said in a light tone, "Perhaps, the concubines are not suitable for the palace city, and these years are just a matter of trying their best." ”
Emperor Yonghe looked at her, his expression changed a few times, "How many women dream of sitting on the throne of the queen, but you are the only ......"
"Just be a concubine, you don't know the blessing when you are in the blessing!" This palace city is just a gorgeous cage, the people outside, only look at its gorgeousness, want to come in, but the people inside, but understand its trapping, partial, but can't get out.
"Queen...... Is it resentment? After all, Emperor Yonghe is the Tao, and for so many years, she has never said this to him so bluntly.
Empress Zheng shook her head, "There's nothing to complain about." The concubine knows very well that if His Majesty wants to protect the concubine, then the concubine is innocent, and now, it is just because His Majesty is unwilling to protect the concubine. ”
The tone is flat, and there are no ups and downs. Emperor Yonghe was stunned when he heard it. "Your character...... I thought that over the years, you had already changed your temperament, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. There is something different in these words, and I can't tell whether it is nostalgia or helplessness.
Empress Zheng lowered her eyes and did not speak.
Emperor Yonghe looked at her for a moment, and finally said, "This Xiye is quiet, since the queen likes it, then stay at ease!" ”
With that, he turned around and walked out.
Empress Zheng squatted down to send it off.
Su Ying came to Empress Zheng's side, and watched Emperor Yonghe and his party go straight out of the palace gate with her.
Over the years, Emperor Yonghe has always been like this when he came to Empress Zheng, coming and going in a hurry, and he couldn't say two words. It is said that the emperor and queen are not harmonious, but it is just a superficial feeling, but His Majesty will go to see the queen mother for ten days at most, and he will come to see the queen mother if he has nothing to do.
I thought that this time Niangniang was relegated to Xiye, I am afraid that there is no possibility of turning over, but Your Majesty, but on the first night of Niangniang moved into Xiye, although it was still as usual, said a few words and left, but this attitude is also a little intriguing.
Moreover, whether it is His Majesty or Niangniang, their expressions are the same, Su Ying really can't understand the current situation, just like all these years, she has never been able to understand the relationship between the emperor and the queen.
However, not to mention anything else, her heart has to settle down a lot. Perhaps, things weren't as bad as she thought.
Above the court, there was also the sound of the abolished queen, but soon, it was overshadowed by other voices.
