Chapter 4: Zengyu Pei
Xia Qingqing walked into the sedan chair step by step, and she didn't look back at the palace halfway, because she had already finished reading everything she should see, and now there was nothing to be nostalgic for.
Xia Qingqing got on the sedan chair, the eunuch shouted the sedan chair, the sedan chair was lifted, and he saw a eunuch coming from the palace, and the eunuch recognized that the person was the eunuch next to the emperor, presumably the emperor had something to order.
"I don't know what my father-in-law commands?"
"At the behest of the emperor, the slave came to give a thing to the princess!"
Xia Qingqing heard that the emperor had something to give her, so she gently lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.
"Princess, this is the jade pendant that the emperor wants the slave to hand over to you!"
The jade pendant glowed dazzlingly in the sun, and it looked very beautiful, but it was also a mortal thing after all, although it was a mortal thing, but she still reached out and took it.
"Thank you for your father's gift, my son's son should not get off the sedan chair again, so I asked my father-in-law to thank him on my behalf!"
"The slave must tell me, send the princess!"
Xia Qingqing lowered the curtain, the sedan chair shook, Xia Qingqing knew that someone was carrying the sedan chair out of the palace, and there was a lively sound of joy all around, no different from an ordinary bride getting married, but her groom was still far away, and it was not just her groom, she was married to another emperor.
Since ancient times, the emperor has three palaces and six courts, although she is going to kiss, but it is estimated that she is just a concubine, and the queen cannot be her princess.
Xia Qingqing looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and didn't understand why the emperor wanted to give her his favorite jade pendant, shouldn't this be rewarded to his favorite prince and princess?
She had no doubt about this jade pendant, because she had seen the emperor care about it, no one in the palace didn't know how much the emperor liked this jade pendant, and many people in the palace thought that this jade pendant would be handed over to the next emperor, and it was estimated that no one would have imagined that this jade pendant actually came to her hand.
What does the emperor mean by this, does he want to fulfill his father's responsibilities at the last meeting, or the last bit of guilt.
Xia Qingqing didn't think much about it, but she still put away the jade pendant, how to say that this is also the emperor's sincerity in treating her.
The journey with relatives is very far, and Xia Qingqing doesn't know how long they have been walking, only that when they set off, it was just autumn, and when they arrived, it was already cold.
Xia Qingqing's trip to the country of harmony this time is not smaller than her current country, it is just a long distance, the two countries are interested in friendship, what is more sincere than harmony!
"Princess, we have finally arrived, and we have worked hard for you all this way." The palace maid Xiaolu couldn't hide the joy on her face when she looked at the city gate in front of her, a lot of things have happened along the way, and now she has finally arrived.
Xia Qingqing lifted a little curtain slightly, although she was in the sedan chair, but she also felt the liveliness outside, there were many people entering and exiting the city gate, and everyone's face was almost full of smiles, it can be seen that this should be a very rich country, her father is okay with her, at least not let her marry into some barbarian land, even if the emperor doesn't like her here, but it won't hurt her, after all, she is a princess who is kind, representing more than just a person, she is a country behind her.
As long as the emperor respects her, even if she is a concubine, she can live a comfortable life in the court, just like those days before, there is not much difference, as for the emperor likes her, it is unlikely, the royal family has no real love at all, especially the emperor.
The development of things was just as she guessed, the emperor welcomed her into the palace and canonized her as a concubine, the only thing that was a little surprising was that this emperor was very good-looking, and he could be regarded as the best-looking man she had ever seen in the mortal world, and she hadn't seen much of a man who cultivated immortals, but she thought about it.
The emperor treated her well, everything in the palace was okay, even more gorgeous than the palace she lived in before.
Although she knew that she couldn't be the queen in this palace, she was still a little curious about whether such a good-looking man and his queen were worthy of him in appearance!
According to the rules in the palace, she has to go to see the queen first after meeting the emperor to accept the title, can she live well in this palace, although the emperor's favor is important, but the queen is also very important, after all, the emperor is a man, for him political affairs are the most important, most of the things in the harem are under the control of the queen, so if you want to live comfortably in the palace, the queen is one of the people who can not be offended.
Xia Qingqing was about to ask about the queen, Xiao Lu first told Xia Qingqing what she had heard, she was very surprised to know the truth, she didn't expect that there was no queen in this palace, and the queen position was still vacant.
In this way, it's okay, without the queen, she doesn't have to ask the queen every day, you must know that many times she is a very lazy person, and it is really painful to ask her to get up early every day to ask for peace, and she has no interest in the posterior, so it's good.
She lived in this strange country like this, and in the days that followed, she witnessed how her husband ruled the country, and I have to say that he was a very good emperor, and even she had a little respect for this emperor.
The Emperor treated her with great respect and was very satisfied with this situation, and she had no intention of winning the Emperor's heart, nor was she interested in these rights.
Time passed quietly, she lived in this palace for ten years, and she had a smooth life in ten years, the only regret was that she failed to leave a little blood for the emperor she admired, but this is also a normal thing, because she is different from ordinary people, although she did not give birth to children, but the emperor has nothing to blame her, or the same as before, she is very grateful for this, this is a good emperor, she should be regarded as the best in the princess.
Later, the originally handsome emperor had reached his twilight years, and her face was not there, and mortals would die one day, although he was a good emperor, but he still couldn't escape the law of life and death.
When the emperor died, the whole country mourned, she could feel the love of the people here for the emperor, the emperor died, and it was not uncommon for the concubine to be buried with him.
It's just that this emperor made a holy decree before he died, and he didn't need the concubine to bury him, so the women in the harem could be regarded as having escaped, after all, no one wanted to die if they could live.
Xia Qingqing looked at the emperor in the coffin, and recalled that when the two met for the first time, the emperor died, and she had no children, and it didn't seem to make sense in this harem, and finally she was willing to choose to be buried with this emperor, this is a good emperor, it seems a little desolate to let him be alone, she has lived enough in this life, so it is better to leave with him!
