265. The woman of the harem
Concubine Xiang didn't look back as if she hadn't heard, and let him leave.
Xiao Wenxuan's expression was a little lonely, and he bowed and retreated.
The maidservant outside the door saw him go away, and pushed the door in.
"Niangniang, the second prince is gone." The maidservant saw that her face was wrong, and she did not dare to speak.
Concubine Xiang nodded, this child is too honest, and she is really worried about him sometimes.
"Alas, in the deep palace, you have to fight if you don't fight. Wen Xuan is arrogant and doesn't care about fame and fortune, but as a prince, how can he really stay out of the way? Concubine Xiang looked at the jade bracelet in her hand and muttered to herself.
The maidservant did not speak, but knelt down and thumped her legs.
"Pearl, do you know that the women of the harem are the most pitiful, without freedom, without dignity, and even without feelings. If I really have a choice in life, I don't want to be reincarnated in a powerful family in the next life. Concubine Xiang said, leaving sad tears.
The maid was a little distressed, the concubine Xiang in the day was flying and domineering, and she was always high and noble. I can't imagine that in the dead of night, I can be so helpless.
Concubine Xiang knew that her identity was different from that of Queen Wang, so she could only rely on her son to change her fate. Unexpectedly, he didn't have any need for the throne.
The night was as cold as water, and Concubine Xiang looked out the window at the night when she couldn't see her five fingers, and she was full of sorrow. She doesn't know what to do, if her son has no ambition, no matter how much she supports her, it will be difficult for her to become a big deal.
In fact, Concubine Xiang didn't know that Xiao Wenxuan didn't go straight to her mansion when she came out of her palace, but walked aimlessly along the path in the back garden earlier.
The fallen leaves that had been blown off the branches floated down in circles and landed right on his shoulders. He reached out and pinched it, a wry smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
In fact, my mother was right, and the only way to get everything was to find a way to get on the dragon chair. But if he really competes with the prince for his own selfishness, it is the people who suffer. The ancients said that the people suffered when they prospered, and when they died, the people suffered. He really couldn't bear to watch the people of Li people being devastated by the war.
He sat on a stone bench, looked at the sparkling lake not far away, and boredly picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it into the center of the lake.
His personal guards were waiting for him from afar beside the rockery, and no one dared to step forward. At this moment, Xiao Wenxuan's mood was the same as that of an ordinary night, and it was depressing.
Su Xiaojin, I still love you, but I can't be too selfish!
He said to himself over and over again in his heart. She is so beautiful, I can't tarnish her beauty. Since there is no fate, it is better to let go and give her happiness.
"It's still comfortable for you to pinch." In the glazed palace, the emperor was half lying comfortably on the bed, enjoying the queen's craftsmanship.
Her fingers are slender, but the massage strength is very good, because she understands the distribution of acupuncture points in her body, and after pressing it, she only makes people feel comfortable.
Hearing the queen's praise, Queen Wang smiled lightly. She can deliberately ask for leave for the emperor's imperial doctor. Knowing that he was busy correcting official documents every day, I wanted him to relax in his palace.
"I always feel that I am getting older, my body is not getting worse day by day, and I can't handle many things." The emperor patted her little hand and said to her.
"The emperor's dragon body is healthy, where is he old." Queen Wang said understandingly.
When the emperor heard this, he laughed. Sure enough, this woman is not only skillful, but also has a sweet mouth.
Queen Wang looked at Long Yan Dayue and took the opportunity to talk about Wang Baolin.
"That girl has also reached the age of marriage, but she refuses to marry. What do you say like a man like Tang Muchen, your majesty, where did the concubine find a second Tang Muchen? "She speaks without leaving a trace.
"Besides, Tang Muchen already has a wife, if she wants to marry her, she can only be a concubine, Your Majesty, don't you say that you have wronged this child?" The meaning of the queen is already obvious. The emperor was confused, and he knew what she meant.
He took her massaging hand and placed it in his palm, looking at her motionlessly.
"Queen, if you have something to say, just say it." She massaged herself for so long tonight, and she kept repeatedly emphasizing Wang Baolin's marriage, she must have something to ask for.
When Queen Wang saw the emperor asking, she didn't beat around the bush. She lay in the emperor's arms and looked at him with a smile.
"Your Majesty, now that man is not a man with three wives and four concubines, if Wang Baolin insists on not marrying Tang Muchen, the concubine can only beg you."
The emperor smiled, and sure enough, he knew that things were not so simple.
"Do you want me to make a will to let Wang Baolin marry Tang Muchen as a side room?" He asked the queen rhetorically.
"Well, Pauling said she didn't mind being small, and of course, that was her biggest concession. You also know that Su Xiaojin was born poor and really can't afford the position of Mrs. Hou. It's just that Pauline is knowledgeable and would rather wronged herself. The queen had a lot of words, obviously, these words seemed to be prepared by her for a long time.
The emperor didn't speak, but naturally let go of her hand. The harem can't interfere in politics, she can't be unaware of this. Now he is pointing fingers at Tang Muchen's marriage, it seems that he is deliberately trying to win him over!
"Queen, Tang Muchen has always been arrogant, and even I let him score three points, why do you bother like this?" He said coldly.
Queen Wang was a little nervous when she saw that his face was not good-looking. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, if he leaves in a bad mood, what should he do?
After Su Changlin met with Su Xiaojin's sister and brother, it was the second day after he reappeared. No one knows where he went, who he met, or what he did.
Su Changlin's return is the same as his disappearance, mysterious and unpredictable.
Su Xiaoqian was still immersed in the joy of reuniting with his biological father, and he couldn't wait to share this matter with everyone. After he arrived home, he was busy studying ink and writing letters, and the first person he thought of was the second princess Xiao Yu.
I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't know if she's safe and sound. If she knew that she had found her biological father, she would be happy for him.
Su Xiaoqian, who was writing hard in the room, wrote down all the mental activities he had been doing in the past few days, and finally wrote a poem "Red Beans" at the end of the letter to express his inner thoughts.
Red beans are born in the south of the country,
A few branches are sent in spring.
May you pick more,
This thing is the most lovely.
After the ink had dried, he took the rice paper and looked at it repeatedly. After making sure that it is correct, fold the rice paper and put it in the envelope. Finally, he took out an emerald green purse with fine silk threads, and put a few delicate red beans in it.
Su Xiaojin looked at the purse sent by his younger brother and couldn't help but sneer.
"Yes, with a sweetheart, things are naturally different from the past." She laughed and joked about her brother.
