Chapter 221: The Emperor's Love

"There are only two people in this world who can do it, one is the current Queen Mother, and today's saint is the most virtuous and filial, and she will never disobey her old man's will." Zhang Tingyu sighed after speaking: "My stupid morning light! If the person who was locked up in the Internal Affairs Office this time was replaced by Fujin you, with the Queen Mother's favor for you, she would never sit idly by. But how could a dignified queen mother go to work for a little show girl? ”

"And who's the second person?" I also knew that the Queen Mother was hopeless, so I hurriedly asked the second candidate.

"That person is dead, it's your deceased aunt, Empress Hyo Zhaoren."

"Huh?" I was taken aback, isn't it recorded in history that Kangxi and his third queen, Empress Xiaoyiren, Tong Jiashi, are most in love? Why is the version I hear different now? What went wrong?

"It was during the three rebellions, and the queen was seriously ill, but she was afraid that it would affect the emperor's mood, so she always strictly ordered the imperial doctor not to say it, so she kept delaying it, and when Your Majesty knew the truth, poor Empress Niu Colu had already entered the dying stage......"

"But so what?" I asked disapprovingly-why is it always a woman who is sacrificed, he is the king of a country, he is the hope of the people of the world, but he is also a husband, a man, can't he even fulfill this most basic responsibility?

Having said so much, I can only judge that my honorary aunt is indeed as pitiful as I heard in the Niu family, but there is no clue that she can occupy a place in Kangxi's heart.

"This is something that the Holy One has always regretted......

"Just regret it, can regret change anything?" I have heard more of this aunt's legend than anyone else, and no one can hear anything from her story to prove that Kangxi loves her: "She is about to die, her chest pain is very bad, and she has no relatives around her." She desperately reserved her last breath, just to see her husband again, she waited and waited, from day to night, it is said that she bit off three bamboo sticks that day, but still had to go with hatred......"

"The Holy Lords really had something important going on that day, and at that time, the Holy Lords didn't know that Empress Xiao Zhaoren was so seriously ill......

"So, he sat on top of the court and held a celebration feast with the returning soldiers in front of him? So, when Empress Xiao Zhaoren was the most painful and was struggling between life and death, they were still raising their glasses and drinking, singing and dancing? If this is also called love, then love is too disappointing and too unexpected!

"Because of this, Your Majesty has always felt deeply guilty about your Niu family." Zhang Tingyu has been an official for many years, and he will not be as emotional as me, but to get to the point: "Your sister committed a big crime in the ** court, such a shameful thing, the emperor didn't say a word, and she gave her to the fourth elder brother, why do you think this is?" It's such an outrageous thing just now, but so far there is no one who dares to chew the root of his tongue outside! ”

"My sister is not wrong." Is that also called grace? If you want to live like a walking corpse like your sister for nearly ten years, and then you have to pretend to be your sister to keep you warm overnight, it is better to be punished!

"And you," Zhang Tingyu looked at me, his eyes full of pain: "I shouldn't mention your mother's origin, but I don't say that you also understand that this is a fatal wound in the court." In the palace, let alone the concubine, even if it is the eldest daughter in the palace, it is difficult to get the emperor to canonize it personally. But you, the first time you entered the palace, you were canonized as Dorogeg, and you enjoyed the county lord's fortune. Do you think it's really because of a few lines of your poems and a few lines of defense? ”

"Is it because of Empress Hyo Zhaoren?" I also wonder about this, I always thought that Kangxi would treat me so leniently for the sake of Mrs. Tong. But what happened later made me doubt it.

When I was a female official in the palace, although I had the support of the Queen Mother, after all, the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the harem was weird and complicated, but in the past two years, I have never been involved in any of the concubines' battles (except for those I took the initiative to create), if it is really lucky, then I am too lucky, right?

In addition to being lazy in the palace, I wandered around, and even found excuses to go in and out of the palace, but I was also turned a blind eye, and no one ever compared with me.

Later, was it really because of Brother Seventeen's request that Kangxi decided to point me out to Seventeen? What if there is no request? Did Kangxi already know in his heart, was I destined to become the Seventeenth Fujin?

"In fact, there has always been an unwritten rule for aristocratic marriage, and the princes' concubines can only be the eldest daughters of princes or princes, not to mention that your mother is not even a concubine."

Yes, looking at the princes' concubines, it seems that their identities are embarrassing, and I am the only one with unknown origins. "In this way, I should thank my aunt who I have never met!" Is such grace because of mistreatment, because of guilt? Can a position of Fu Jin buy back a man's conscience?

"Poor Chenxi, she is still too young to know this important relationship, so she will admit this matter rashly." After Zhang Tingyu finished speaking, he sighed again: "If this incident happens to you, the saint will not let it go, even if you admit it, it is just an admission of mistake, and the saint will never be serious with you in front of your aunt!" ”

"How can you be so sure?" Kangxi is a famous Ming monarch in history, how can he change his principles because of a woman? What's more, that woman has been dead for many, many years - so much so that except for one title, probably no one will remember her anymore......

"Because, you are very similar to your aunt, not in appearance, but in your temperament is almost eight points similar." Zhang Tingyu paused for a moment, and finally decided to speak: "How shrewd the old lady of the Niu family is, she was willing to put all the treasures on you back then, she must have seen this point from you!" ”

Are you sure? That's why Mrs. Tong took such pains to train me, and specially sent someone to train me - specially sent someone to train me, is it to make me more like "her"?

I suddenly had a terrible thought, when Mrs. Tong was bent on marrying me to the eighth elder brother, would it be a smoke bomb? Even I can see that Kangxi will not let me marry the eighth child at all, how can the old lady Tong, who is well versed in the art of checks and balances, not know?

Could it be—

Old Mrs. Tong knew that marrying any prince with my identity would leave hidden dangers, so Kangxi wouldn't do this-so, if I didn't consider the seventeenth elder brother who was still young at the time, my biggest possibility was-

was left directly in the palace and became one of Kangxi's three thousand favorite concubines, and because of my specialness, I must be a concubine who will be favored......

Cold sweat rolled down his forehead - so dangerous, so dangerous, my life will be buried like this, and I will die in the palace. And I died in a daze, and I didn't even think about what happened back then.

It's just that I still have a little doubt - this is a good thing that can push the boat down the river, why did Kangxi change his mind and let me be his daughter-in-law? What is the reason for putting me in the palace for two years, waiting for two years, and suddenly getting married?

Originally, I was very similar to Empress Xiao Zhaoren's temperament, plus everyone thought that I was her niece, and I had the same blood on my body, which should be a big temptation for Kangxi, who has always been guilty, right? What was the reason for my fate to change without my knowledge?

"So Xiaguan really has no way to deal with my niece Chenxi, but Fujin has. Therefore, the lower official begged for Fujin, for the sake of that child's pure temperament, he begged Fujin to save her! Now there is no one to save her except Fu Jin. ”

"I know, I'll give it my all." Although Dawn died like this, even if the crisis in front of me was all solved—Brother Seventeen didn't have to marry her, Brother Nine couldn't find a reason to force me, and I didn't have to go into the war with Dawn for many years in the future.

But this incident started because of me, even if Chenxi was imprisoned completely for Seventeen, even if the person who framed her was not me, but no matter how despicable and vicious I Zhang Xiaoying was, I didn't disdain the prey sent to the door!

What's more, I had to figure things out back then, I hated the feeling of being kept in the dark!
