Chapter Eighty-Six: A Woman Who Is Faithful to Love in This World
When Chen Fei and I returned to Anle Palace, Qi Ming and Liyan were not there, but the queen was waiting for my return in the palace. I hurried forward to salute.
She was different from the other concubines in that she did not bring the prince over, but an older woman.
"Qingyi, this afternoon, you have accumulated a lot of doubts, right?" The queen asked with a smile, the golden steps on her phoenix crown flashed and flashed, and it was very good-looking.
I don't know exactly what she was referring to, but it's true that since I came back from the Qianxiang Palace, my heart has been blocked in a panic, and I don't have any clue about the wave after wave of things.
"This is Yang Zhangshi, I brought her here to ask her to tell you about these people in our palace, to answer your doubts a little, I also know, in the past two days, your Anle Palace must be a good place, but who is right and wrong, don't be blinded by foreign objects, no matter what I say, what the princes and princesses say, there is a little personal feeling in it, so I brought Yang Zhangshi, I want you to listen to these things in the palace fairly and justly." The queen said, it seems that she is not here to win over the relationship, but to bring me a living person, and want me to polish my eyes in the midst of many rights and wrongs.
The queen is the queen, and the demeanor and bearing of the mother in the world are really not something that those concubines who only seek their own selfishness can learn.
That night, in the guest hall of Anle Palace, candles were lit, and I listened to Yang Zhangshi slowly tell many stories in the palace.
My first question, is the crown prince really not born to the queen's mother? Yang Zhangshi told me the details of the whole incident.
In fact, the queen mother Zixuan is not the wife of the saint, the first lady of the saint is Mrs. Yunrui, Mrs. Yunrui is very loved by the saint, when the saint is still the prince, she is in love with the saint, the palace is in turmoil, the eldest princess of Nanyin is in power, and she has ensured the stability of the prince's position with her own strength, but the saint has not dared to announce her relationship with Mrs. Yunrui, and she also won the support of the Dong family in the name of marrying Dong Guifei, and also agreed to marry Zixuan, the daughter of General Zuo, who was high and powerful at that time, as the queen. In order for their daughter to get the throne, the two families vied to show support for the Shengshang, and the Shengshang also took advantage of this power to ascend the throne at a young age.
After ascending the throne, the eldest princess of Nanyin fulfilled her promise to General Zuo and asked the saint to marry Zixuan, the daughter of General Zuo, as the main room. At that time, the saint and Mrs. Yunrui swore an alliance, and had already promised eternal life, and the saint was in a dilemma, and refused to live up to Mrs. Yunrui, but Mrs. Yunrui did not have the slightest complaint, and asked the saint to do what Princess Nanyin wanted, and she didn't want any title, at that time, Mrs. Yunrui was already six months pregnant, and her father was just a small four-grade servant, who didn't dare to offend the saint, but also wanted to save face, and didn't know what to do with this daughter who was pregnant before she got married, and finally Mrs. Yunrui was taken into the palace, not even a concubine, can only be called Mrs.
Because of the previous promise of the saint, he wanted to marry Zixuan as the queen, and then he needed to marry the daughter of the Dong family, and before that, he had no way to give Mrs. Yunrui any title. But he promised Mrs. Yunrui that he would only be good to her in his life, and when his position as emperor was stable, he would give her a beautiful future and a legitimate identity.
However, before marrying Dong Guifei, the eldest princess of Nanyin married the Northern Desert, and for a while, there were slight waves in the court, and the control of the saint was not as good as his royal sister after all, so it was a little difficult to control the situation for a while, and the battle in the harem suddenly swelled in the waves, and the princes also pointed the spearhead at Mrs. Yunrui, but Mrs. has always been stable in her duties, and she kept silent about all rumors and frames, and endured it silently. When the saint became more and more able to control the government and really became a king, Mrs. Yunrui was in labor, because she was mistreated when she was pregnant, she was too weak, and after giving birth to a baby boy, she had difficulty giving birth to a fairy.
This baby boy is Jing Ye, the saint is very sad, and vows to treat this child well, and when he was born, he made him the crown prince and handed him over to Queen Zixuan to raise. The saint felt ashamed of Mrs. Yunrui, ashamed of this child, Mrs. Yunrui had paid so much for him, but before Yunkai saw the moonlight, she was blushing, she had no regrets, but it was because she did not regret that the saint regretted it even more, except for going to play with the prince, the saint basically did not see Queen Zixuan.
However, Empress Zixuan is worthy of being the daughter of General Zuo, and she knows clearly about right and wrong, the way of loyalty and righteousness, and the courtesy of monarchs and ministers. Although the emperor initially rejected her, she was single-minded towards the saint, and slowly managed the entire harem in an orderly manner, never favoring and selfishness, and being fair to people and things, although the saint still ignored her, she didn't feel resentful, but An An did her own thing.
Finally, the saint found out that Empress Zixuan was good, and found out what she had done for him, Zixuan's sincerity to the saint was indeed no less than that of Mrs. Yunrui, she regarded the prince as her own, in order to take care of him, before the saint found out, she had secretly knocked out the little prince in her stomach. However, at that time, Concubine De Niangniang had already given birth to the second prince, and she was gaining power in the palace, and the scenery was very good, and several talented people were also pregnant, and they were infinitely favored, but the queen was cold, and the dragon child she conceived on the wedding night was also beaten by her.
She has been doing her own thing silently, and she still manages the harem for the saint, not fighting or grabbing. In the end, the saint finally woke up, he saw the goodness of Empress Zixuan, and saw that it was he who almost turned Zixuan into another lady Yunrui with his own hands. After learning from the pain, the saint began to accept Empress Zixuan.
The queen's virtue won the favor of the saint, she understood the truth of the lord's merits, and silently assisted the saint to control the power of Chang'an step by step, first of all, from her own maiden general, General Zuo. She can sacrifice like this, the saint really feels sorry for her, isn't it just for the courtiers to send their daughters into the palace for the sake of soaring in the future, can there be a person in the palace who blows the wind by the pillow? But the queen is devoted to her husband, husband and children, and she is very stable. It is her stability and loneliness that makes the saint feel distressed to the bone.
Also because General Zuo's family is not powerful, sometimes the queen is angry with the concubine, and the queen is unwilling to have another child after giving birth to Princess Heze, and just wants to raise Prince Jingye to grow up, but Prince Jingye is not motivated, and often makes the saint and the queen angry, he always relies on the saint's debt to his mother to do whatever he wants, and he is also very dependent on the queen, and feels that the queen will always clean up this mess for him.
It is also because of Mrs. Yunrui's kindness that the saint has kept Jing Ye's position as the crown prince until now, but the princes are gradually growing up, and the saint is getting old, and the characteristics of Jing Ye's unsuitability to be the next prince are also more exposed.
And what the saint said in the Qianxiang Palace today does not mean that he wants to abolish the position of the crown prince, but it is enough to show that the saint is now thinking about the future prince.
At this time, I understood why there was a prince, and several concubines would bring their princes to me to form this marriage.
The women in this harem are really pitiful, although the fate of her life is much better than others, but she has suffered a lot more than others......
If it is said that the saint is helpless for the world, then Mrs. Yunrui and Empress Zixuan are indeed helpless for the man they love......
Who said that a man's mind is in the whole world, while a woman's mind is only in her own man.
Several princes of the same age as me in the current dynasty, Yang Zhangshi also introduced me, it seems that the purpose of the queen mother to let her come is not only to tell me some people in the palace.
The eldest prince, the crown prince Jing Ye, whom I had already met that day, was the son of the late Lady Yunrui, and now passed on to the queen mother. The second prince Yu Wang Suzheng, was born to Concubine De, Concubine De Niangniang passed away early, King Yu lost his mother when he was young but did not pass on to any concubine, and he grew up slowly. The third prince was born to a concubine, and now he has married a wife and has children, and the fourth prince was born to Concubine Hua, Wu Wang Zhonghuan, I saw it in the Qianxiang Palace that day. The fifth prince died young, and the sixth prince Qi Wang Rongchen was the son of Concubine De, the big man who looked simple. And the next more competitive is the seventh prince of the concubine Niangniang, Yucheng, and the rest of the princes have either married their wives and become princes and lived a stable life, or they are still young and cannot get married. Therefore, my future husband may be one of these people.
Finally sorted out the relationship in the harem, I chuckled in my heart, if it was two hours ago, I might still be entangled and bored about which prince to marry, but now, I won't, except for the queen mother and Mrs. Yunrui and several other concubines and princesses, I don't have any other heartache, in this harem, I really can't stay.
I just want to be a wife, not a queen of the world.
Perhaps, at this point, I would rather learn from my mother than from Queen Zixuan. Although her mother was already in power and controlled the entire Chang'an, she suddenly left her hands, left all of them behind, and married to the Northern Desert alone. The world says that Princess Nanyin is close to the snow for the sake of Chang'an's rivers and mountains, but only I know how loving my mother and father are together, they can live a good life together, and they can also die peacefully.
"Can you tell me my mother's story?" I wrote on the paper that I wanted to hear a little bit of my mother's story from Yang Zhangshi.
"Back to Princess Qingyi, before the eldest princess of Nanyin got married, I had not entered the palace, and the matter of the eldest princess of Nanyin had been explained by the saint, and no one was allowed to comment on it." Yang Zhangshi replied.
I was disappointed for a while, it seems that it is really not easy to know the glorious history of my mother when she was young.
