After Yucheng left, I followed behind the concubine and walked slowly towards the garden.

"Thank you for speaking for Twilight and Qiming today, I thank you on their behalf!" I walked behind her and thanked her first.

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture, is your voice all ready? It's no big deal to talk today. The concubine asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, it's all fine for the time being, but I don't know if it will recur in the future."

"You have your own natural appearance, there will be no big problems." The concubine patted my hand and comforted: "However, after being able to speak, your appearance is really sharp, I don't know if it's because you can't speak and look weaker, we all misjudged you before, and today you are really strong." ”

"The concubine Niangniang praised it falsely, I just begged for them to intercede, this pair of beautiful people, the feelings are not easy to come by, both of them have suffered the pain that we ordinary people can not bear, and finally achieved a positive result, I really have no reason not to help, but thank you Guifei Niangniang, or your words, changed the mind of the saint."

"Haha, isn't it all yours? I don't approve of the marriage between Twilight and the Prince, I don't know what you will do, and I can't find any legitimate and suitable reason to stop it, I can't imagine that you can convince Twilight and Qiming to be together, this trick is really wonderful, Qingyi, before, I really underestimated you, it seems that my trust in you before was not wrong at all. The concubine said as she walked, she looked very good, and she was very satisfied with what I had done.

Could it be that the concubine misunderstood? When I went to the concubine and asked her to help me ask to see the saint and stop this marriage, I originally went because Twilight didn't like the prince, but the concubine didn't know about Twilight and Qi Ming, she mistakenly thought that I had made it together, and Twilight and Qi Ming were just playing on the spot?

"Guifei Niangniang, you misunderstood, this matter is really not my doing, Twilight Xue and Qi Ming are truly in love with each other." I quickly explained that this incident was originally a wrong karma, and Twilight didn't want to marry the prince in the first place, just to save me and forget about Qiming.

"Oh?" She turned her face in surprise: "You don't have to be humble, you don't have to hide it in front of me, I have already been honest with you, is this really their love for the two of them?" ”

"Yes." I told the concubine Niangniang everything that happened in 1510, and today in the Anle Palace, the attitude of the saint is ambiguous and vague, I am afraid that if the development of the situation is not good, I will have to ask for the help of the concubine.

"I see...... It's really a period of infatuation with men and women......" The concubine sighed, her face was a little stupid, who hasn't had a young time, who hasn't loved someone crazy. A woman who has never loved someone is like a flower that has never bloomed, facing the possibility of decay before it blooms.

"Yes, I don't know what will happen tomorrow, and I ask the concubine to help me a lot." I pleaded.

"It's natural," the concubine turned her head and smiled, "but I wonder if Qingyi will help me?" ”

I was stunned, "What is the concubine referring to?" ”

She turned to stand still, her gaze locked on mine, "If Twilight and Qiming really love each other before they come to the rescue, then how ambitious are you for the position of queen?" For this harem, where do you want to go? ”

I lowered my head and replied sincerely: "To be honest, I don't want to be the queen at all, I don't yearn for the life in the palace at all, I used to stop the prince and Twilight from getting married, just for Twilight, not for my own posterior, I really don't have any thoughts about this position." ”

"How can that be!" The concubine's face immediately darkened, and the smile that had been hanging on her face disappeared in an instant, "You understand what I mean, in order for you to become the future queen, I have always helped you, supported you, and hoped that you could form a hundred years of friendship with Yucheng, and now, I have done it, but you said, isn't this what you originally meant?" ”

I shook my head again and again, I was really grateful for the kindness and help of the concubine Niangniang, but I really didn't think about being a queen or marrying Yucheng at all, "Guifei Niangniang, I am very grateful for your help, we are unforgettable for your great kindness, but you really misunderstood, I really didn't beg you to be the future queen at that time, I really didn't organize the marriage between Twilight Xue and the prince in order to be the future queen!" ”

"I know," replied the concubine calmly, "but now? Now you can't think like that, I've helped you do what you want, I don't want you to do how beautiful you can do in the future, but I hope you can at least cooperate, you know, it's not easy for a woman in this life, it's not easy to find a good man, it's not easy to find a good mother-in-law, it's not easy to be stable for a lifetime, and it's not easy to enjoy glory and wealth for a lifetime, and you are now, there is such a promising good man in front of Yucheng, and there is me and the saint to guarantee your posteriority, and your life of glory and wealth is endless, Do you know how many dreams you have accomplished that women can't pursue in their lifetimes, you have to know that cherishing is. ”

"Lady Gui Niang......" I raised my head, looked into her eyes and explained, "Maybe this is what many women want, or maybe most women dream of, but this is not what I want, not what I want to pursue." A person, only when she gets what she wants will feel happy, otherwise her whole life will be just a life of doing nothing, and I, I don't want this kind of life, I don't want this posteriority, why don't I give up this opportunity? What about giving it to the good girls who want to be queens? You can choose a more suitable woman for Yucheng, more beautiful than me, more talented than me, more virtuous and capable than me, and can assist Yucheng, why do you need me to be a disfigured princess of the dead country? ”

The concubine smiled lightly, as if sneering, "Very interesting argument, but do you know? This world is a dueling arena full of mysteries, full of contrasts and transcendence, and at the same time there will be scheming and dark arrows, everyone in the torrent of time does not advance or retreat, if you don't work hard, you will naturally be killed by others. It's like a forest of death full of hunters, and the only way to survive is to hide yourself and kill others at the right time. This world is not a back garden where you can take a leisurely stroll, this is not the case in the palace, and the people are not like this, if you only think about what you want to do every day, what you don't want to do, and only do what you want to do, I'm afraid, you won't even have enough to eat, and you won't be able to wear warm clothes. ”

"Sometimes there are many choices, not that you choose the world, but that the world chooses you, just like now I choose you, only you can help me, and I have done what I have to do. I can't help but ask for a little bit in return, I admit that I'm not Guanyin Bodhisattva, I don't have such a good heart. "The concubine said frankly, she never seemed to hide the evil and cold thoughts in her heart, which may be the reason why she has always been the concubine whose status is second only to the queen, and the saint has never blamed her, because a real bad person is often much more real and reliable than a fake good person.

"Guifei Niangniang, I can't marry Yucheng, there is no affection between the two of us, and I don't want Yucheng to suffer such an unfair fate, he should have his own pursuit and life, not all of you arranged for him, you look at Sheng Yao, he has the nature and simplicity that a child should have, but you look at Yucheng, introverted and low-key, calm and old, completely devoid of the vigor and determination that young people should have, you should give him a little more free space, ask him what he wants." I retorted that Yucheng and I were like strangers, it was impossible for me to marry him, and I only liked Ye Linghan, me and him had just begun, and I didn't want to give up.

Since Dusk Xue and Qi Ming can achieve positive results, why can't Ye Linghan and I?

The concubine gave me a blank look, "I've said it, there are some things you can't choose, because God chose you, you see, God chose Yucheng as a prince, then from the moment he was born, he can only like power and the throne, otherwise what is his value and significance as a prince?" Do you want him to like being a tailor or a knife maker? ”

I was stunned, she was right, I was speechless. Indeed, everyone has their own choice, they can choose to be a doctor, a pharmacist, or simply a cook, but the princes in this palace can't, they were born to choose princes for the governance of the country, their life goals and training directions are only this one, those princes who are unable to compete in this battle are also the future princes, they still have to focus on power and the common people. If a prince likes poetry and handicrafts, it is a vice that will be ridiculed, so if you want to get ahead, you can only become better in this choice, in order to become the future emperor.

"That's it, I've done everything I did for you." The concubine said undoubtedly.

"You're wrong, you didn't do anything for me. This matter was originally a benefit for both parties, and if the prince couldn't marry Duxue, wouldn't the chances of Yucheng be greater? You're helping yourself, too. "I said, I don't ask the concubine to do it, she will do it, so she doesn't have to attribute all the reasons to giving me favors.

The concubine smiled coldly: "But don't forget, if you don't stay in the palace, will the saint nod and agree to the matter of Twilight Xue and Qi Ming?" ”

I was speechless, she was right.

"It's better for you to think about it yourself before making a decision, you have to do it yourself." The concubine was very satisfied with her threat, and seeing that I was embarrassed, a soft smile appeared on her face again: "Think about it, you don't need to send it anymore, I'll go back first." ”
