Chapter 86: Li Qinglian's Secret
In the back garden, Emperor Xian was accompanied by Rong Concubine to enjoy the flowers in the garden.
The last bit of tail in late spring must be caught, otherwise this scene of purple and red will wait for another year.
A butterfly spreads its wings and its colorful colors are eye-catching.
Emperor Xian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Concubine Rong, how could your sister choose Chen'er?" ”
Li Qingrong didn't know what to answer, because she couldn't figure out Qinglian's thoughts, if she had such an opportunity, she would definitely choose a prince with a higher status, no matter how bad it was, even the prince would be better than this Gao Chen. However, since it is Qinglian's own choice, it must be good.
So she had no choice but to reply: "Her thoughts, the concubines can't be sure, probably she really loves His Royal Highness Seven." ”
"It's just...... Chen'er has always been the one I don't like the most. So this move really surprised me. After speaking, he sighed and said, "That's it, he has always been single, and he is looking for a concubine at his age." ”
Li Qingrong was pleasantly surprised: "Your Majesty is willing to make Sister Qinglian the concubine of His Royal Highness the Seventh?" ”
Emperor Xian was a little puzzled: "I have never been false. ”
She hurriedly saluted and said, "It is her blessing to let my sister be a concubine, thank Your Majesty for your mercy." ”
Emperor Xian looked at her with a smile: "What is not a blessing, Chen'er is like this, it is rare to be able to marry a woman with such a talented and good background as your sister, children, let them do the main marriage by themselves." ”
If he were someone else, he wouldn't be so casual.
In fact, he had been thinking about this matter for a long time that day, no matter which prince, as long as it was not Gao Chen, he had to intervene.
One is to prevent the princes from colluding with the court and the harem, and the other is to allow them to achieve checks and balances.
And the Seven Princes, whose biological mother is lowly, has no maternal support, and is born with a disability, just has a good skin, embroidered pillows, and is useless.
As for why Li Qinglian chose him, he didn't want to delve into it. After all, Li Qinglian is just a concubine. These people, in his eyes, can't make any big waves.
So, not long after, Emperor Xian announced his marriage in the court.
Preparing for the wedding ceremony is very cumbersome, and the bride has to be taught at home to embroider the wedding dress for herself, so she can't get married right away.
And before getting married, the parties are not allowed to meet in private.
Li Qinglian asked His Majesty to marry after she took care of Concubine Rong and gave birth to Xiaoyue.
During this time, the grandmother in the palace will guide her one by one to some of the things that she needs to learn as a wife.
She no longer wore the clothes of the previous maid, but received clothes from various palaces as a princess to be married.
At this time, it was almost early summer, and she thought that after waiting for Concubine Rong Xiaoyue, she would also get late autumn, so the wedding dress embroidered for herself was mainly to keep warm.
In early summer, there is less wind, but there is still a cool feeling in the courtyard at night.
She leaned on the beauty leaning on the Jade Lotus Courtyard and looked at the half moon in a daze.
Concubine Rong didn't find her in the room, so she also came out to the courtyard.
"Sister."
Li Qinglian turned around and hurriedly helped her and said, "Concubine Rong, why did you come out, it's cold outside, you are pregnant, and it is not suitable to walk around at night." ”
"Sister Qinglian, when I saw you here alone, I wanted to come out to accompany you."
She slowly walked towards the house with Concubine Rong in her arms: "Niangniang's body is important, and everything else is secondary." I couldn't sleep alone, and I was so panicked in the house that I wanted to come out and see the moon. ”
After that, she smiled: "The moon is not full tonight, and there is nothing to see." I'll talk to Concubine Rong. ”
She looked at Concubine Rong's lower abdomen, and suddenly thought of something, took Concubine Rong's hand and said, "Niangniang is a rabbit, and she is too old this year." You must be careful next month, no matter who asks you to leave the Jade Lotus Temple, unless Your Majesty has something important, you must remember that you must not go out. ”
Concubine Rong was a little surprised: "Why can't you go out, I'll be careful." ”
Li Qinglian frowned and said, "Does Niangniang believe me?" ”
"I've always believed in my sister the most."
"Then you have to listen to me, no matter how big the incident is, you must tell me in advance when you leave this courtyard, you know?" She instructed again.
Although Li Qingrong was still a little confused, she knew that Qinglian would not harm herself, so she nodded.
But no one knows, including the Li family.
Li Qinglian has a big secret hidden in her heart.
After chatting with Concubine Rong, she returned to her room and remembered what happened five years ago.
When I was eight years old, my father was born.
In order to win the favor of their fathers, the children all offered gifts on their birthdays.
She didn't like to read and paint, and she was too lazy to play the piano and write poems, so she asked the maid to buy a fan of Shen Xingsi from the market.
As a result, she saw that her sister Li Qingying's gift was boots that she had sewn herself.
The boots are beautifully made, and a lot of thought has gone into it.
She regretted and hated it, so she pulled her fan and took scissors to secretly cut Li Qingying's boots.
After Li Qingying found out, she came to question her angrily. A verbal altercation ensued between the two, and the other pushed her into the pond with too much force.
She was too young to paddle, and because of the thick and fluttering clothes she wore in winter, she gradually began to sink.
As his head submerged in the water little by little, his mouth, nose and ears were choked into the water, and he only felt that the world was quiet, and he faintly heard the sound of gurgling blisters and Li Qingying's loud cry for help above.
Vision, too, began to blur.
I just feel like I've had a long, long dream.
In the dream, she has become a forty-year-old woman and has married into the palace of the king.
She admired King Cheng's handsomeness and grace, and used all kinds of means to get the position of King Cheng's side concubine.
Later, under jealousy, he poisoned and killed Concubine Cheng.
After the incident, King Cheng, who was originally lukewarm to her, now intensified and began to stay in the flower building all night.
Later, King Cheng rebelled, the Li family and King Cheng's mansion fell apart, and the family was ruined.
In the past 30 years, the Li family, the Chengwang Mansion, the Ning Kingdom, and even the whole world have undergone great changes.
When she woke up from this dream, she was still a small eight-year-old body, but it was not an eight-year-old soul inside.
The current memory carries the blood of the Li family, the resentment of King Cheng and the fate of the entire Ning Kingdom.
Everything was moving along the path of her dreams.
She tried a lot of strength, but she couldn't prevent some things from happening, and could only slightly affect some people in the middle of the incident.
Everything was expected, probably, the only thing missing was Princess Chenghuan, who was sealed some time ago.
Since she appeared, a lot of things have slowly changed.
Therefore, she really wants to see who Daning will win the world in the end in this life.
