[Chapter 3: The country is not old] (1)
When Li Longji rushed to Concubine Wuxian, he found that the palace people and eunuchs were standing in unison outside the palace. At first, he only thought it was strange, but when he heard Wu Su'er say that Concubine Xian only let him in alone, he thought of something.
Xiao Jiangyuan was therefore left outside the palace. She also thought of something, but like Li Longji, she was a little incredulous.
Soon, Li Longji walked out, his expression was quite calm, but he was a little more strange than Fang Cai.
Just this subtle abnormality had already made Concubine Wuxian's palace and eunuchs tense their whole bodies. They waited for a long time, but they didn't hear Li Longji speak, and when they raised their heads again, Li Longji had already walked away.
Since Concubine Wu Xian was favored, this was the first time that Li Longji had shown such an attitude towards herβwhat did their wife say to the saint?
Li Longji only stood still in front of Xiao Jiangyuan for a moment, and left without giving Xiao Jiangyuan any chance to observe. Xiao Jiangyuan had no choice but to follow Li Longji's footsteps and look back.
When Li Longji walked outside the hall, the door of the hall was wide open, and at this moment, Concubine Wu Xian was personally going out to send him off.
Seeing Concubine Wu Xian dressed like that, Xiao Jiangyuan was sure that he was confused, but he still couldn't believe it for a long time.
Maybe the women of the samurai family were born with the courage of the Empress Zetian?
Li Longji did not return to his dormitory, but walked to the Ningbi Pond in the palace. Xiao Jiangyuan comprehended, let the left and right stay farther away, and followed alone. As soon as she stood still, she saw Li Longji turn his head to look at herself steadily, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to be the queen?" β
Xiao Jiangyuan shook his head without a trace of hesitation.
Li Longji thought for a while and said, "Why? β
Xiao Jiangyuan replied fluently: "Because the minister is a eunuch." β
There was silence between them again.
ββ¦β¦ Yes, your identity has long been ingrained, where can you say that you can change it? Li Longji's original mixed mood was interrupted by Xiao Jiangyuan, not only did he not get better in the slightest, but he became angry, he took several deep breaths before he could continue to say calmly, "You don't have to stab me with words all the time, I just want to know if all the women in the world have a dream of being a queen." β
Xiao Jiangyuan's heartstrings were tense, and when he heard Li Longji say this, he didn't dare to relax completely: "I think it's not." Even if the threshold of all the post-election is lowered, not all the women in the world want to come to this deep palace. Have you heard of what interesting and helpless things people have done in order to avoid entering the palace? And the women who have entered the palace, the concubines may still have some hope, and they still have to wait for the time to wait for fate, as for the ordinary female officials and palace people, they are much more practical than everyone thinks, as long as they have the opportunity to go out of the palace and regain their freedom, they will never let go, even if they take the queen's position as an exchange, many of them are probably disdainful. β
"This posterior position...... How disliked is it? β
"The queen is the wife of the Son of Heaven, and the ministers don't even dare to be lazy, so how can they dislike it?" Xiao Jiangyuan lowered his eyes and smiled, "It's just that the dream is too illusory, it is not easy for a woman to survive in the world, if you don't be down-to-earth and ambitious, you will only be hurt by yourself." β
"So...... Is it 'time'? Li Longji muttered.
Xiao Jiangyuan asked, "Concubine Wuxian just told everyone in person that she wants to be the queen?" β
Li Longji nodded. The scene that just happened was unexpected by Li Longji, but when you think about it, it is also reasonable. What he didn't expect was that she could do it to such an extreme, giving him an unforgettable shock in his life.
At that time, the hall was so quiet that it could be heard falling needles, and it seemed to be empty, but Li Longji knew from the first step that Concubine Wuxian was behind the screen.
He approached slowly, and with each step, he was prepared in his heart, but when Concubine Wu Xian walked out from behind the screen, he was still surprised.
ββConcubine Wu Xian wore the crown dress when she was canonized as Concubine Xian, and her bright complexion was even more dignified and solemn under the heavy makeup.
If the civil servant wants to die, he will be in public service; If the imperial history wants to impeach important ministers, he will wear a crown of pigs on his head; Even Silla, a small country adjacent to the Tang Dynasty, has a determination to make up his mind. The costume represents the wearer's determination, whether he is not afraid of life and death, or obligation, and is full of perseverance and courage to achieve it.
In the past, when Emperor Taizong was there, he was resentful of Wei Zheng's advice and wanted to kill him quickly, but Empress Wende's eldest grandson changed into a flower crown Zhai clothes to persuade Emperor Taizong to change his mind.
In terms of behavior, Concubine Wu Xian has learned a lot, and in terms of speech, she is still the content and tone that only the Empress Zetian can have.
"Do you know what she told me?" Li Longji said while recalling, "She said that she is the most suitable candidate for the queen, if she becomes the queen, she will not only treat all the princes and princesses as her own as always, but also press her relatives, and there will be no more disasters in the past; She will rule the harem and treat all the concubines well; She would come to my aid when I needed it, and be the best knife in my hand; And what she wants most is to be my wife, to live and die with me from now on, and never be separated from each other. β
"Concubine Wu Xian is very reasonable." Xiao Jiangyuan nodded, "The imperial doctor confirmed two days ago that once the summer heat starts, Zhao Zhaoyi may not be able to survive." In this way, in the harem, in terms of pampering qualifications and conduct, Concubine Wu Xian is indeed the best choice for the queen. β
"Even you think so?"
"I don't understand what everyone is hesitating about. Now that the time is ripe, Concubine Wu Xian also has this intention, it can be said that everything is ready, and everyone abolished the queen at the beginning, isn't it just to change Concubine Wu Xian as the queen? β
"What? What do you think? Li Longji was shocked, "You ...... I don't think so, do we? β
This time it was Xiao Jiangyuan's turn to be surprised: "...... Isn't it? β
Li Longji couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "Since everyone thinks so, that's it." β
He immediately stopped talking and didn't go any further.
Now it was just what she thought, she had a problem with herself, and if she knew what he really thought, her heart would probably be farther away from him.
Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan's eyebrows were frowning slightly and still thinking, Li Longji was afraid that she would think of something, so he immediately said, "You never thought that you would take this opportunity to go to the next level?" β
"People don't think about it...... Lichen is the queen? Although Xiao Jiangyuan still had a light smile on his face, the alienation that rejected people thousands of miles away seeped out from his whole body.
"The trouble is a little troublesome......" Li Longji said with a smile on his eyebrows, full of confidence, "but there is nothing that can't be done." β
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't eat this set: "...... How did everyone reply to Concubine Wu Xian? β
"This ......" Li Longji didn't feel a little embarrassed, "I said, okay, I'll try." β
This matter came at a very good time, and he just used it to divert the attention of the courtiers, but he was a little sorry for Concubine Wu Xian.
"That being the case, the Son of Heaven is true to his word, please be sure to do what you say." Xiao Jiangyuan bowed respectfully and standardly, "The minister's illness has not yet recovered, I am afraid that I will have to rest for a few more days, and I hope everyone will be considerate and allowed." β
Here Li Longji was anxious and said the wrong thing, he couldn't explain it, so he could only stare dryly, and when he heard that Concubine Wuxian had recommended herself to be sealed, the palace people and eunuchs also stared at her, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Their wife is worthy of being the descendant of the Empress Zetian family, and she dares to make such a dangerous move, I really don't know whether to say that she is too stupid, or that she is cognizable.
Concubine Wu Xian let someone remove the hairpin ring, while thinking about Li Longji's reaction, she was also a little uneasy in her heart.
He said, "Okay, I'll try." β
How did this sound wrong, but at that time, she only felt that she was one step closer to wishing, so she couldn't care so much.
Maybe Saburo just didn't dare to promise easily, or maybe ......
It didn't take long for the entire harem to know about Concubine Wu Xian's deeds.
The crown prince Li Hongzheng was anxious because of Li Longji's visit, and rushed to visit his biological mother to discuss it by the way. Hearing this, he didn't say anything, Zhao Zhaoyi had already sat up from the couch with his sick body: "She...... How dare she? β
Ignoring her son's dissuasion, she hurriedly said, "What does the sage say? β
Gong said: "This ...... The slave and maid did not know. I just heard that Concubine Wu Xian dressed up like a ...... Give thanks to the saints. β
Zhao Zhaoyi immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, grabbed her son's clothes, and wanted to cry: "It's just that my body is useless!" If I'm healthy, how can I get her? β
The crown prince Li Hong was so frightened that he hurriedly persuaded: "Ah Niang, your body is important, don't be anxious." β
No matter how much uneasiness he felt in his heart this time, he could only hold it in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything to his aunt anymore.
Zhao Zhaoyi's energy seemed to be exhausted at that moment just now. She fell weakly on her son's shoulder, gasped for several breaths, and then sighed: "Blame me for not being bolder than her." β
When the queen was there, everyone in the harem was convinced, and no one thought about it, and since the queen was abolished and died, the women in the harem were all alive. But even if they want to be queens, who can be like Concubine Wuxian and announce it to the saint?
Seeing his biological mother like this, the crown prince Li Hong was heartbroken, and immediately withdrew from everyone and whispered to his mother: "Auntie, don't worry, Concubine Wuxian will not let Concubine Wuxian succeed." β
"No......" Zhao Zhaoyi held her son's hand tightly, "You don't have to do anything...... In order to protect himself, my son is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and all hope is behind, and there is no need to fight for a while. β
Zhao Zhaoyi was originally just the smallest dancing girl in the place, if she had to meet Li Longji, who was a different driver in Luzhou at the time, how would she know that she could have this opportunity in life? Once upon a time, she just wanted to focus on singing and dancing to make her husband happy, but when her son became the crown prince, her husband no longer allowed her to dance. And her husband, soon had other women dancing for him. Although Wu Guanyue favors the harem, it is only one of them.
She had to re-examine who she was, to learn everything she wasn't interested in but had to learn, and eventually turned herself into what she was now, the one she hated the most.
Now that she's finally dying, she doesn't want to live for her husband and son anymore, she wants to get herself back.
The crown prince Li Hong naturally has nothing to rely on on the surface, he has heard the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, and he can no longer let his mother worry about him.
As for Concubine Wu Xian, if she becomes a queen, what will be the next step? must have abolished him, the crown prince, and replaced her eighteen langs. He respected her as an elder, and since she was the first to oppose him, he could only fight and make her enemy.
The next day, Li Longji said frankly: "Virtuous concubine and virtuous, I want to take it as the queen, what do you think?" β
