Chapter 213: Imaginary Enemy

Kangxi fifty-one years. Spring

This is the Nth time I have stepped into the court since my wedding, but my heart is still heavy, and every time I come, I have to go to the house where I used to live, but every time I see it, I feel sad again.

Ke'er died tragically, Qingniang committed suicide in despair, I am a witness to all this - the conspiracy, love, and persistence mixed in it, I understand, but I can't prevent this cannibalism, prevent this tragic ending.

Now, there are new palace maids moving in, and the people who originally lived in this house have disappeared forever, including Su Yirong, who has been against us, has died - in this cruel court, no one will remember them, no one will pity them. What is left is only the lifeless palace wall, and I who has not yet been liberated and is struggling......

"Well, what is Fujin looking at?" The palace maid who was waiting on the side suddenly saw me stop and asked cautiously.

"Heh, spring is here...... "It's spring again, it's time for the draft again, right?" People are dying one after another, but the palace is forever so big, so many people, is it because of this?

"Yes......" The palace maid couldn't figure out what I wanted to say for a long time, so she had to keep her mouth shut, so as not to provoke right and wrong.

"Let's go, the Queen Mother is still waiting for us!" I lowered my head and stepped on the bluestone slab under my feet, and the crisp sound of my basin shoes made a crisp sound, but it still couldn't make my mood happy.

The Queen Mother invited me to come this time, it should be related to the draft, right? Although I have long understood that I have come to this era, this kind of thing will have to be faced one day. But why didn't Seventeen tell me about it, but let me choose for myself?

If you want to choose a woman for your husband with your own hands, how can the women in this palace not change their perverts, how can they be willing?

"The concubine has seen Lafayette, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Queen Mother, you are also a woman, why can you be so calm, is it because your heart has already been broken?

"Okay, come, come here, let me see how our Qiyun looks good?" The Queen Mother sat on the soft couch, pointed to the painting on the table and said to me, "Come, come and see, which one is more to your liking?" ”

"Okay, oops, these guys are all like shallots, don't say they're a man, even if I see it, I'm going to be excited!" I smirked, my teeth feeling astringent—why should I reply to such a ridiculous offer with such a big smile?

This is what your ancients flaunted as virtuous and virtuous? Behind every good name, are they accompanied by tears?

"Qiyun, are you telling the truth?" The Queen Mother stared at me with slightly moist eyes.

"I'm saying what I have to say, what the truth is, what the fake is, does anyone care?" In this era, it is natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines, what can I say, and what can I change? I don't want to be beaten to death as an alien, and I don't want to whimsically promote feminism here. I just want to live well, but it's really painful to live here.

"Hehe, what the mourning family likes is your temperament, and the mourning family knows that you don't want it in your heart!" The Queen Mother's hand was attached to my hand: "The mourning family is also a person from the past, how can I not understand your feelings?" ”

For the first time, the Queen Mother made me feel a sense of love, she withdrew from the minions around her and hugged me: "When I married from Mongolia, I was still a child who didn't know anything. At that time, the first emperor just found a reason to abolish my aunt, and I can't forget my aunt's crazy eyes at that time. But what can be done? He is the emperor, he is our heaven, and even the empress dowager and my aunt at that time had no way to stop everything from happening. ”

"Galeries Lafayette?" I watched this part of the past countless times on TV, and at that time I was quite envious of the favor that Concubine Dong E could get - after all, the emperor who is willing to become a concubine is the only one in ancient and modern times, and she can get such true love, how lucky she is in that era......

But I didn't expect that there is still a lot of sadness hidden behind this, especially when I heard the person concerned say it himself - an emperor who should belong to three thousand Fandel, falling in love with one person is equivalent to the misfortune of two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people, and the queen mother is already lucky, she is still a princess of Mongolia after all.

"I entered the palace, and I hardly saw the emperor except for the wedding, and I knew that my husband was bent on letting another woman take my place, and I knew that if I made the slightest mistake, I would be deposed. I lived in fear, and every day I lived in seclusion, and I listened to the rumors in the palace about how the woman was pampered......"

The life of the Queen Mother, is it considered to be buried in this court?

"I'm not convinced, there are so many women in the world, why should she be so lucky? I tried my best to draft for the first emperor, and even selected a lot of beautiful Han girls to put next to the first emperor. The Queen Mother touched my bun: "Do you know? Every time I personally choose a concubine for him, my heart is like dripping blood, I don't want those false names that praise my virtue, I just want him to see me, and he can have me in his eyes. ”

"Queen Mother." I raised my head and felt sympathy for this woman who had enjoyed all the glory and wealth for the first time: "You still have the emperor, this harem, and ......"

"There are countless lonely ......" The Queen Mother sighed slightly: "That woman is also miserable, such a great blessing died in a few years." She died, I thought that the emperor would change his mind when she died, but it turned out to be ......"

"Queen Mother, I admire you very much." I held the wrinkled hand of the Queen Mother, who had aged with my backhand, and this time, she was not the Queen Mother in my eyes, but just a woman: "You are so strong, that's why God will choose you to be the most noble woman in our Qing Dynasty." ”

"Child, I am telling you so much because I want you to take a long-term view." After the Queen Mother expressed her feelings, she finally got to the point: "I know that you have a good relationship with the Seventeenth Elder Brother, but you can't hide from this kind of thing, you can't hide it, it's better for you to make your own decisions." ”

"I know, the Queen Mother is relieved." I lowered my head and held back the tears in my eyes to prevent it from flowing - every time I drafted, the emperor would always choose some famous ladies to give to my married brother as concubines, which I couldn't avoid at all: "I will take the initiative to ask the emperor for someone." ”

If you can't escape, it's better to take the initiative, this is what the Queen Mother means, I want me to take the initiative to ask the emperor to have a good name - just the Queen Mother, you are also a person from the past, this good name is exchanged for blood and tears!

"The people I just showed you are beautiful, but they are all in the middle of the road, they have no backers in the imperial court, and there is absolutely no threat to you, you should choose well!" The Queen Mother sighed, knowing that I needed time and didn't say anything more.

"Yun'er thanks the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's great kindness, unforgettable!" I sincerely kowtowed to the Queen Mother, I know that she is really thinking about me, and choosing someone who has no power is much, much better than the emperor suddenly pointing out to a person with a background.

It's just that I hold the portrait in my arms and look up at the sky - let me choose this decision, God, how cruel and ridiculous are you?
