Chapter 61: Seeing the Prosperity with a Cold Eye
The snow on the road was so deep that even a horse-drawn carriage could not speed up.
Di Jinxuan, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned deeply, and finally exhaled slowly after passing the city gate. He asked Ji Qingge, "Why don't you ask me, why do you want to go back to the suburban mansion?" ”
"Because ......"
If he wasn't too silent and cold, she wouldn't have been indifferent to him. He didn't eat the gall of a leopard, how dare he ask him?
"Say."
Di Jinxuan glanced at Ji Qingge, who was held in his arms, and said in a deep voice.
If she was silent like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his anger and wanted to pinch people. However, the person he wanted to pinch was not Ji Qingge, but the owner of the jade pendant, Emperor Yan Emperor Jinchen.
"The suburban mansion is very particular about the layout of the house and the placement of furniture. It can be said that its level of luxury has surpassed that of the Starlight Palace. ”
Ji Qingge's clear eyes looked up at him and asked, "There are some things that I never ask the prince, but I know." For example, the relationship between the prince and the king of Yan, and ...... The relationship between the queen and Concubine Pang. ”
Since she knows everything, what's the point of talking to her?
"When you first recuperated in the Lonely King's suburban mansion, why did you imagine the Lonely King as a frivolous person? In the days that you and I have been together, how has the lonely king ever behaved indecently towards you? ”
When he recalled Ji Qingge's words that day, he felt wronged. He, who has never been close to a woman, finally saved a woman, but was misunderstood.
"It's not good for me in the past."
Ji Qingge apologized sincerely and said, "Later, after I married the prince and lived in the prince's Starlight Palace, I discovered a problem. ”
"What?"
"The prince rarely returns to the Hall of Starburst. Even if he goes back, the time that the prince has stayed there will not be long. Ji Qingge's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he said truthfully.
"Before you enter the palace, it is rare for the Lone King to go back." The corners of Di Jinxuan's mouth outlined a mocking smile and said.
What's so good about the Starlight Palace?
Although it is located in a more prominent position in the palace, it is not the East Palace after all. It's luxurious, but it's not warm. But since having her as his hostess, he's been more willing to return to Starlight Shine.
Before she entered the palace, the Starlight Hall was just a dormitory given to him by his father.
The Chengxiang Palace, known as the East Palace, was rewarded by his father to his father's most beloved son, Emperor Yan Jinchen.
Because of that incident, his mother always complained to him in private.
The queen said earnestly: "Yongnian, you see that you have returned to the dynasty in triumph. Shouldn't you take the initiative to care about your father? Although your father is the Emperor of the Ninety-Five, he is also a father. He, like most fathers, needs you sons to take the initiative to care for him. ”
"You see, the woman's son lives in the East Palace. Once I lived, I lived for many years. Although you have the power of the elite troops of the Qi army in your hands, what can you do? ”
The queen was extremely unconvinced and told Di Jinxuan that it was not for nothing that the prince was more heroic than his father and the emperor back then. But later, didn't the heroic imperial uncles of Emperor Jinxuan have to obediently bow down to his father and emperor?
In the early years, the appearance of Concubine Pang turned many beautiful feelings that originally belonged to the queen into phantoms.
Now, the queen finally looks forward to her only royal son growing up forever and has made great achievements. He is the best of the many princes, why is the person who lives in the East Palace not Yongnian?
A light of resentment crossed the queen's eyes, and her words were also very jealous, and she said:
"With the queen mother here, no one will be allowed to stand in the way of the emperor."
She had been treated too much unfairly in her early years and knew the pain of infighting. It is precisely because she has experienced a tragic past that she does not want to see those sad things happen to her emperor again.
As a mother, the queen knew that her eternal years were still more merciful.
But that Concubine Pang's son, King Yan, is a ruthless prince since he was a child.
If King Yan succeeds in becoming the prince, he will ascend to the throne of Emperor Xiyue one day. Then she and her emperor Yongnian will become the ghosts of King Yan's sword......
When she was young, she was for her own interests and for the future of her emperor. She gave Concubine Pang a slippery fetal drug, so that Concubine Pang had two miscarriages in three years.
The consequence of that is to make the emperor's love for Concubine Pang continue unabated. And the Baguio Palace, where she herself lives, has become a cold palace that the emperor rarely steps into.
How can the queen tell her emperor Yongnian about these hardships?
It's just that Yongnian has grown up, and he is no longer the child who surrounds her and pesters her to tell him stories. There are so many things, even if his mother doesn't say it, he can still learn some things from other people's mouths.
It was as if he knew that from the moment he was born, he was destined to have a very thin brotherhood with his brother Yan Wang.
If King Yan becomes the king of the Xiyue Dynasty in the future, he will definitely not treat him and his mother well.
It will be as cruel as it is.
Di Jinxuan, who had always hated the palace struggle, also had to face a practical problem after his triumphant return:
Even if he is the prince who has made great achievements, the prince favored by his father is still Emperor Jinchen!
"Lord Wang?"
Ji Qingge's call pulled Di Jinxuan's thoughts back. In his deep eyes, a hint of imperceptible gloom flashed, and he said, "Hmm." ”
"Do the rich people of the Xiyue Dynasty like to build courtyards in the suburbs?"
The last time she followed Di Jinxuan back to the city in a carriage from the suburbs, she had observed it carefully. The quaint courtyards in the suburbs are really not only one or two.
What impressed her more was the quaint houses opposite the inn at the foot of the West Mountain, as well as some chic courtyards near Mohu Lake.
She remembers passing by a chic courtyard when she smelled a faint fragrance. It is the fragrance of flowers, not the fragrance of fat powder.
"King Lone understands, Concubine Ai's words are indirectly praising King Lone for being rich." He chuckled and rubbed his forehead against her fox snow cap.
"The emperor's creditor is the second richest man in the Xiyue Dynasty, do you still need to boast? Really. ”
She saw a slight smile on Di Jinxuan's face, so she boldly lifted the thick curtain and watched the night scene on the outskirts of Jing'an City.
The suburbs of the city are not as good as the inside of the imperial city, and the lights are brilliant. What you can see is the lights of several inns and houses along the way.
Occasionally, a dog barks at the sound of a dog, but it's not a noise.
The ancient suburbs are really quiet enough. When the quiet Lian Ji Qingge passed by a chic courtyard, they could hear the sound of a woman crying from inside the house.
Wailing, desolate crying!
After she heard the cry, her heart trembled inexplicably, and said, "It's so late, it's really ......."
