Li Jing slowly walked into the palace, and the sound of crying inside came and went, and everyone was the same. For the sake of this, it is just the master of the dynasty lying on the bed, the emperor of Daxin, and the imminent death of his own father.

In addition to a few concubines of the older generation in the palace, there are still a number of Yingying Yanyan who are younger than themselves - they are all the concubines of their father, and they are the new hobby of their father in recent years.

Collect beauties.

These beauties are either from famous families or from palace maids, some are unparalleled in beauty, and some are talented, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they all have more or less the shadow of their own mothers on their bodies.

That's right, it is the woman with the most intense stroke in the pen of the dynasty history scribe, Concubine Chunxi.

He still remembered that morning when he was discussing his mother's name.

He secretly hid behind the temple that day, but he had insight into everything.

"Concubine Xi is already sick, and I am extremely hurt, so I decided to be named the concubine of the Chunxi Emperor."

As soon as his heart moved, he smelled a different breath.

According to the rules of all dynasties, the name of the king must be avoided, and even the same reading method is not good. And the name given by the father to the mother concubine is actually a "pure" with the same sound as the emperor's name, which shows that the father and the mother have a deep relationship.

He understood that his father's meaning was to live and die together, and to let future generations know that his father had his own mother and concubine in his heart.

The mother concubine is the person on the tip of her father's heart. There is no doubt about that.

He forgot how his father persuaded the courtiers to agree to use the word "pure" with the same sound as the emperor's name as a nickname, and naturally his father also took a step forward, but he was posthumously named a concubine, not an imperial concubine.

After that, his father once instructed himself in private: "If you ascend the throne in the future, you can posthumously crown your mother concubine as the imperial concubine according to the rules of your ancestors." That's all it takes. ”

Li Jing was a little puzzled, and asked why it was only right not to posthumously crown his mother as the queen, and asked if it was because of the courtiers.

Li Chun just shook his head sadly, "No. ”

Although he was young at that time, he was able to see a trace of frustration and regret in his father's eyes, and there were faint tears, "Your mother concubine must not want to be my queen." ”

He didn't understand it at the time, but now, he does.

He often thinks of his mother's teaching to him that he should not live as unsuitable for anyone.

For the rest of your life, you must live for yourself, not for anyone.

He thought of the concubines in his East Palace, at first they were all girls of different ages with their own characteristics, but after a long time, they all seemed to have become the same appearance. Gentle and elegant, demure and elegant, with all the virtues and beauty that a royal concubine should have, she can't find a trace of fault in the upper and lower parts. Except for one thing, they don't look like a woman of this age.

They are the people who their mother said, "living for others."

He knew that these concubines were unhappy, but there was no way, no one dared to live themselves, and no one dared to challenge everything in this strict and oppressive palace.

At this time, I was really a little envious of those people outside the palace, at least, they were freer than themselves.

He slowly knelt beside Li Chun's bed, looking at his father who was drooping on the bed and had a weak breath, he was full of sorrow and sadness, but he wanted to forcibly endure the sadness in his heart and show a calm look.

"Father......" he exclaimed slowly.

"Kid, you're here." His father's face was pale and extremely weak, and he still squeezed out a smile at himself when he was like this.

"Go down, all of you. I have to talk to the prince. A short sentence, but it has been said for a long time.

Li Jing lay on the side of the bed, watching those people wipe their tears and retreat, only to see that his father was weak, but he was holding on and wanted to get up.

He stepped forward to help him and said softly: "Father...... Emperor"

Li Chun smiled, full of vicissitudes, "Silly boy, I can't do it." ”

Originally, the expression on his face was manageable, but now he couldn't help it when he heard his father say such a sentence, and his tears instantly fell like a flood that burst the embankment.

I can't stop it.

"Father......" he cried slowly.

"Alright." Rao is imminent movement is difficult, Li Chun still slowly stretched out his hand and stepped forward to wipe his tears, as if he was at his mother's funeral when he was young.

"Jing'er, let's not cry, let's not cry. The mother concubine did not leave us, the mother concubine just went to a distant place. That place is a thousand times better than ours. No one will make the mother angry at that place. ”

It's just that who really doesn't know that his mother will never come back.

He endured the sourness, tried his best to maintain the appearance that a serious prince should have, and slowly supported his father, but gradually felt the breath of death and parting, just like the scene when Xianwu's mother died in the twenty-first year.

"Father's ......"

"Don't cry, child, for after today you will be sitting in your father's seat. You will be the king of this empire......"

Li Jing was silent, and he felt even more sad in his heart.

He knew that his father had wasted a lot of effort in order to pave the way for himself, and he had delayed for a lot of time.

I also understand that since the death of my mother, every day when my father was alive was just a hard time.

If it weren't for the world, if it wasn't for himself, he was really afraid that his father would go with his mother one day.

That's a real thing to say.

For his own sake, it took his father more than ten years to maximize the power of the king, weaken the power of the ministers to the extreme, abolish the prime ministers on the left and right, turn the cabinet into the emperor's cronies, and change the party-changing disputes in the past.

The rest was to order commoners and untouchables to participate in the selection of officials in the imperial examination, and to abolish the law that had been practiced for hundreds of years, so that the children of princes and nobles would not have to live so badly.

These are for the promise of the father and the mother.

He knew that those were the obsessions of his mother's life, and they were the promises his father made to his mother secretly in his heart.

Just to live up to the mother concubine.

"Kid." Li Chun coughed and said slowly: "As a father, there are some things to tell you. ”

"Yes." Li Jing respectfully leaned his head over.

The words before the sickbed made him understand his father's heart more clearly.

The father left, and everything acted according to the existing rules and etiquette.

Because of the outstanding achievements of his father and the realization of the centralized control of the monarch's power, there is no doubt that the funeral was held for a long time, and the entire Pingjing City became a white curtain in an instant, and everyone was immersed in grief and could not extricate themselves.

"Your Majesty has been mourning for a long time, so let's rest a little." His own crown princess comforted him by his side, no, now she is the queen.

"Where can I rest and go in?" Li Jing only felt full of sadness and couldn't extricate himself, and he didn't even want to eat, let alone rest quietly.

"The Queen Mother has arrived." The voice of the inner supervisor came, and Li Jing hurriedly got up to greet him.

The Empress Dowager Jin is a woman from a famous family in Kansai who was married by her father in the third year after the death of her mother, but although she is a famous family, the whole family is just a false position, and she can't play any role in the court.

At that time, after the new queen entered the palace, she respected the senior concubines everywhere, and she was not jealous, and she was even more capable of serving her father, and treated herself and other princes and princesses as her own.

What's more, unlike those noble ladies from the Kansai aristocracy, the Jin family never said that their mother concubine was a "demon concubine", but issued an order in the palace, if anyone dared to talk about the deceased mother concubine in private, they would be dealt with as disrespectful to the lord.

For these, even if he called "Queen Mother", Li Jing was also willing.

"Queen Mother, why are you here so late?" Li Jing respectfully went to support.

The Queen Mother Jin just waved her hand, "How old is the mourning family, where is it to the point where you can't walk?" After that, she walked by herself, and ordered the queen Qian to retreat first.

After the queen stepped back, the Queen Mother Jin had tears in her eyes and said sadly: "Your father is ruthless, but it's okay, he thinks about your mother and concubine in his heart, and now he can be regarded as getting what he wants." ”

Li Jing was in a trance: "Yes, my father always can't let go of my mother." ”

Empress Dowager Jin said with a rare solemnity: "Then you should tell me, where is your father now?" ”

Li Jing's heart moved: "What? ”

The Empress Dowager Jin's eyes were like torches, staring at Li Jing tightly, her eyes were full of scrutiny and suspicion: "Don't treat me as a fool!" Tell me, who is lying in the golden coffin now? ”

Li Jing's heart trembled again, and he knelt down unconsciously.

He thought of his father's deathbed entrustment, and he could probably think of his father's and mother's expectations and thoughts for the afterlife.

"If there is an afterlife, I hope you are not a concubine, and I am not an emperor, let's just like this, live this life plainly, do you say?"

Probably after his death, he also worked hard for this matter.

Even if you are thousands of miles away from the grave, as long as you have a loved one by your side, you will not feel desolate.

They will always meet in another world, know each other, love each other, and then have a beautiful result, round the regrets that they could not complete in their previous life.

Continuing to write that the previous life is not a happy ending.

The Empress Dowager Jin's eyes unconsciously shed tears, and her expression was also sad, but she just held her hand and stroked her chest, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long time, she actually laughed faintly: "Wow! Wow! Your father has finally done what he wanted to do. ”

The Queen Mother got up slowly: "That's it, that's it, this is what your father deserves me." ”

Li Jing looked at the back of the Empress Dowager Jin's departure, and the things of the previous life were indescribable after all.

Distinguish grievances, and may never be clear.

Who knows?

It's just a spectator.
