"Jieyu Niangniang's big thing is not good, now that the imperial city is about to fall, let's flee quickly."

My palace maid Rufeng rushed in, grabbed my hand and said in a loud voice.

I looked up at her and asked slowly, "What happened?" Why are you so alarmed? ”

"Mother, don't you know anything? It has been rumored throughout this palace, and it is said that King Yan's army has now captured the capital and will soon enter the palace, and now the entire imperial city is in chaos. The emperor and queen are also trying to escape. Niangniang, let's run away quickly, legend has it that this Yan King kills people without blinking. If he invades the Imperial City, we will be killed by him. ”

Hearing the words of the servant girl Rufeng, I was slightly stunned and said, "What you said is true? ”

"Of course it's true, am I still lying to my mother? If Niangniang doesn't leave, Rufeng will also leave, and I won't stay here anyway. Mother, let's go together. ”

As she spoke, she went to collect the gold and silver.

After hearing her say this, I thought about it and said to her slowly, "You go first, I won't go." ”

"Why?" She looked at me strangely.

I thought about it and said to her: "Since I am already a member of the emperor, then I can't leave the emperor at this time anyway, otherwise it will be disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial, so I won't leave." ”

"Niangniang, don't be so stupid, who will talk to you about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness at this time, now saving your life is the most important thing!" She said to me.

Still shaking my head, I said to her, "No matter what, I won't leave, you can pack up the gold and silver here, and you can leave alone." ”

"Okay. In that case, you should take good care of yourself. ”

After finishing speaking, she anxiously went to pack up the gold and silver, and soon she packed up the gold and silver.

Before she came out, she looked at me, her eyes were full of compassion, and she said to me, "Niangniang, you have to take good care." ”

"Okay."

I nodded, waved my hand, and said to her, "You should go quickly, otherwise you will not be able to leave when the army of King Yan invades." ”

"Yes."

After saying that, she hurried out.

Not long after, she came back to me and said, "I can't leave at all." Mother, we can't go, what should we do? ”

"What's going on?"

"King Yan's army has already attacked, and he has already set fire to the palace, and the entire palace is already on fire, and there is no way to escape."

"What about the emperor and the queen?" I asked hurriedly.

"The emperor and the queen don't know where to go, and now the whole palace is in chaos, and no one knows who is where, let alone the emperor and the queen."

After hearing her say this, I couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Hey!"

I have been married to this palace for some time, although the emperor has not been fortunate to me from beginning to end, and the emperor has only named me a Jieyu, but the emperor's grace to me is clearly remembered on my body.

I think if it wasn't for the emperor's amnesty, my adoptive father might have died.

Later, before entering the palace, my adoptive father told me how much the emperor had been kind to him, so I asked me to serve the emperor to the best of my ability no matter what.

I have always kept my adoptive father's words firmly in my heart, and now that this kind of thing has happened in the palace, how can I not be nervous.

"So what should I do?"

I looked at Rufeng, and I was a little nervous for a while.

"Let's hurry up and find the emperor and queen."

"Niangniang, what are you talking about? Are you crazy? ”

Rufeng pushed me, with a hint of resentment in her eyes, and she said to me: "Now at this time, you still want to go to the emperor and the queen, let's think about how to escape." ”

When I heard her say this, I couldn't help but sigh and said, "Life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." Since God wants our lives, then we have no way to live. ”

"Niangniang, I have never believed in one sentence, my life is up to me, our lives are fought for by ourselves, not by God, don't you understand?"

Rufeng said as she shook me vigorously.

For a moment I didn't know what to say.

At this time, the fire is spreading more and more, and it is about to burn into my palace.

And I heard the sound of fighting in the palace, I knew that King Yan's army had already come in, and there were too many legends about King Yan outside.

Legend has it that King Yan is a demon who kills people without blinking, he has done a lot of bad things, and he even wants to rob the emperor of the throne, so the people in the palace are not afraid of King Yan, why don't I be afraid, but what can I do in this situation.

Since God has destined me to die, do I still have to struggle to survive?

I believe that human destiny is predestined, and at this time, no matter what I do, there is no point, so I just sit there and say nothing.

When Rufeng saw this situation, she couldn't help but say to me repeatedly: "Niangniang, I really can't talk to you anymore, I still have to find a way to escape." ”

After saying that, she was still looking around for opportunities.

At this moment, the sound of the fight was getting closer and closer, and she looked at me with a look of fear in her eyes.

I know that she was still bent on escaping before, but now I am afraid that she has a different idea in her heart, she is afraid that when she goes out and runs into the army of King Yan, it will be troublesome at that time.

I pulled her over and said to her, "You better stay here and don't go anywhere, otherwise if you encounter the army of the King of Yan, the situation will be unimaginable." There are too many legends about King Yan in this palace, and they all sound terrifying. ”

Sure enough, after hearing what I said, she had to be here with me aggrieved.

I walked to the gate of the palace to see what was going on outside, when a beam fell, and it looked like it was about to fall on me.

Since Heaven wants my life, what can I say, so I closed my eyes.

At this time, I felt my body being picked up, and then I heard a thud, and the beam fell.

I thought I was dead, but who knew there was nothing going on, it was so unexpected.

I felt like I was being held in my arms, could it be that someone saved me just now?

I was slightly stunned and opened my eyes.

At this time, a heroic face entered my face, that person was about thirty or forty years old, and he was very handsome, and I couldn't help but like him at first sight.

The kind of heroism that exudes from him is incomparable to anyone, and it is also something that I, a mentally handicapped woman who has lived in the boudoir for a long time, cannot resist.

I really like him, from the bottom of my heart, so I look at him for a moment and don't know what to say.

He looked at me, and was a little stunned for a moment, maybe he liked me in his heart, and I said to myself with some joy that all this is just my hope.

I only heard him ask, "What's your name?" ”

"Lian Siyao." I whispered to him.

"Your name is Lian Siyao, are you the palace maid in this palace?"

I don't know why, in the face of his inquiry, I will answer him word for word, I said: "I'm not, I'm Jieyu in this palace." ”

"Are you Jieyu in this palace?" His brow furrowed.

"Not bad." I nodded.

He slowly put me down, and his expression became ugly.

Why did he suddenly become like this? Who the hell is he? And at this time, someone came forward to report to him and said: "King Qiyuyan, two corpses have been found, which may be the emperor and the queen." ”

"Really?" King Yan's face became very strange.

Originally, this was King Yan, it turned out that this was the legendary devil-like King Yan who killed people without blinking, I was stunned for a moment, but he saved me just now, and he didn't look like a person who killed people without blinking.

I don't know why, when I see him, my heart beats very fast, which is something that no one has ever seen, I look at him, I really don't know what to say.

He took one look at me, and then instructed his men, "Send someone to bring her to the princess, and say that the king asked the princess to take care of her." ”

"Yes." Two men came up to me and said, "Please." ”

And at this time, Rufeng walked to my side and said to me: "Niangniang, you can't let go of me at this time, if you let go of me, I will die, you see that there is chaos in this harem." ”

Hearing Rufeng say this, I nodded, and said to the person, "She is my palace maid, and she must be with me." ”

"Yes." The soldier said to me very respectfully, and took me to see Princess Xu.

This is the first time I have seen Princess Xu, I have never seen such an elegant and dignified woman before, this woman looks very liked, I don't know why, when I see her, it is like seeing my own sisters, there is a sense of familiarity from the bottom of my heart.

She looked me up and down and asked, "You are the Jieyu that King Yan asked me to take care of, right?" ”

I didn't know how to answer her for a while, could there be such a woman in the world? Knowing that her husband was going to let her take care of other women, instead of being the slightest dissatisfied, she said to me so softly, as if she was doing the most important thing in the world.

"Actually, mother, me." I hesitated, trying to say something to her, but I couldn't say a word.

She seemed to know what I was trying to say to her, so she smiled and said to me, "Okay, you don't have to say anything, by the way, what's your name?" ”

"Siyao." I said.

"Is it a surname?"

"No, my surname is Lian, and my name is Lian Siyao."

"It turned out to be Lian Jieyu, how long have you been in this palace?"

I lowered my head and said slowly, "It's only been more than half a year since I entered the palace. ”

"That's good." Princess Xu said to me with a smile, and she asked me to sit down on the side while laughing, and asked me a lot of questions.

After about half a day's work, I saw King Yan walk in, after seeing this man, my heart was still tight, I don't know why, every time I saw this man, my heart would suddenly beat, suddenly and suddenly.

I have met the emperor before, and when I met the emperor, I didn't have this feeling at all, that feeling was very subtle and strange, and I don't know why.

After King Yan walked in, he stepped forward and held Princess Xu's hand tightly, and said to her: "We're done, Princess, we're done." ”

His face was full of joy, and Princess Xu's face was also like a spring flower, she bowed and said to him, "Congratulations to the prince." ”

King Yan nodded and said to her: "All this is inseparable from the princess's credit, if it wasn't for the princess sticking to Beijing, it would not have enabled this king to get his wish." Now it is a big event, and this king respects the princess with a cup. After finishing speaking, he walked to the table, personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to Princess Xu.

Princess Xu took it and drank it all, but there was a bit of arrogance in her words, she said: "The prince is destined by heaven, and it is not surprising that he will become the son of heaven, and the concubine is happy for the prince from the bottom of her heart." ”

I watched the words and deeds of their husband and wife, I don't know if the princess really likes the princess, and I don't know if the princess really loves the princess, but there is one thing that I can see clearly, that is, the tacit understanding between their husband and wife is unmatched.

I can clearly know that the princess really only has the princess in her heart, and she regards the princess as her heaven, her earth, and her god, and the princess does not regard the princess as his confidant, his partner, and the person he can rely on and trust the most.

After drinking, the prince saw me in a blink of an eye, he was slightly stunned, and said, "She's here too?" ”

"yes. Since the prince asked the concubine to take care of her, of course the concubine helped the prince take care of her. ”

King Yan nodded and said to her: "This king saved her in the palace just now, and she looks pretty good, but she has a little bit of the demeanor of this queen mother back then." ”

I later learned that the mother concubine he was talking about was not Queen Ma, but his biological mother, Emperor Shuo.

"It's not, the concubine looks at her and feels so happy, if the prince likes it, it's better to accept Lian Jieyu as the imperial concubine." Princess Xu said slowly.

Princess Xu's words sound no less than a bolt from the blue, I don't know why Princess Xu said this to the prince, I really think it's strange, no woman in the world can allow her husband to marry many women at the same time, either she doesn't love this man, or she has no confidence in herself.

But looking at Princess Xu carefully, I think she loves the prince very much at all, and she is also very confident in herself, so why would she willingly give her husband to someone else's woman? What about sharing it with other women? So when I heard that, I looked at her with wide eyes.

It's incredible.

After King Yan heard what she said, he held her hands and said to her: "Don't say that, in fact, it is enough for this king to have you as a queen, and after this king ascends the throne, he will definitely make you a queen." For so many years, you have accompanied this king to fight in the east and west, and it is really hard for you. ”

"Lord Wang, why do you say that? I was able to accompany the prince in the east and west, which is what I should have done. And the reason why I want the prince to take another concubine is just because I know the prince very well. I know what kind of woman the prince likes, and I also know the prince's heart for me, in short, this matter is up to the concubines. ”

After hearing what she said, King Yan was silent, but just swept my eyes from the corner of his eye.

I don't know why King Yan wanted to accept me as a concubine when he saw me, and I didn't understand why Princess Xu was willing to share her husband with others, until later I slowly understood that Princess Xu was willing to share her husband with others, it was not because she didn't like her husband, nor because she didn't have confidence in herself, but because she loved her husband too much, so what her husband liked, she naturally liked.

Not long after, King Yan ascended the throne, and Princess Xu naturally became the queen, and then Princess Xu, who had become Queen Xu, called me.

Empress Xu looked at me, with a hint of kindness in her eyes, and whispered: "The reason why the palace summoned you today is to discuss something with you. You also know that the emperor likes you very much and hopes to make you a concubine, I don't know if you want to? ”

In fact, to be honest, I thought that after Emperor Jianwen died, I would definitely die for him, after all, as my father said, Emperor Jianwen was kind to my father, so no matter what it was for, even if it was for the emperor's funeral, it was a matter of course, but after meeting King Yan, I found out that it was not like this.

The first time I saw King Yan, I was conquered by his heroism, I really liked him, and he was not as terrible as the people in the palace said, he seemed to me to be a very eloquent emperor, a real emperor candidate, he was completely different from Emperor Jianwen.

I liked him from the bottom of my heart, admired him very much, and hoped that my husband would be such a man, so I lowered my head and pursed my mouth without speaking.

When Empress Xu saw my expression and knew that I had already agreed in my heart, she smiled and said, "That's very good, it's just that this palace wants to discuss it with you on one thing." You have always been Emperor Jianwen's Jieyu, if this matter spreads, it will not be good for the emperor's reputation, so now the palace is going to rearrange an identity for you, I don't know if you are willing to agree? ”

I nodded slightly.

Empress Xu thought about it for a while, and then said to me: "There are two most prominent families in this palace now, the first is the Ji Commander Ji Gang's family, and the second is the Jian Shihong family, both of which have made great contributions to the emperor. Now if you were asked to choose one of the two families as your mother's family, which one would you choose? ”

I didn't know anything about these two, so I had to whisper: "Everything is up to Queen Xu." ”

Empress Xu thought about it, then said to me with a smile: "I heard that Jian Shilang's wife is also surnamed Lian, since this is the case, you might as well recognize Jian Shilang's wife as a sister." At that time, you can marry the emperor as the wife and sister of Jian Shilang, what do you think? ”

"But it's up to Queen Xu to decide." I said cautiously.

I peeked at Queen Xu, and saw that she had an amiable smile, and there was no jealousy or jealousy at all, so I was comforted in my heart.

So then Empress Xu was planning this matter, and not long after, she arranged for me to meet Jian Shilang and Jian Shilang's wife.

The first time I saw Mrs. Jian Shilang, I was stunned for a moment, she was so familiar, I seemed to have seen it in a dream before, and we both had the surname Lian, which made me feel very strange.

When she heard that my surname was Lian, she looked me up and down and said with a smile, "I used to have a younger sister, but unfortunately I was separated from her later. It's a great joy to be able to have a sister again. ”

After hearing Mrs. Lian say this, I was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, I cautiously asked, "Is Mrs. Lian's sister called Lian Bi'er?" ”

When she heard me say this, her face suddenly became very nervous, she looked me up and down for a long time, and then said slowly: "Yes, my sister is indeed called Lian Bi'er, how do you know?" Don't you ......?" her voice trembled.

I nodded slowly and said to her, "Yes, my name was Lian Bi'er when I was a child, and later I was abducted by a kidnapper and sent to another family. Coincidentally, the family is also surnamed Lian, so I changed my name to Siyao. ”

"You're really my sister." When Mrs. Lian heard me say this, her face was suddenly full of joy, and she looked me up and down, as if she couldn't believe it.

So the two of us each told us where we lived when we were children, and it was exactly the same thing, and I said to her: "Actually, when I was abducted, although I was very young, I remember the situation at home very clearly. Later, after following my adoptive father and adoptive mother, I once told him where our family lived and that we had come back to look for it, but unfortunately we couldn't find it. ”

After hearing me say this, Mrs. Lian's face was suddenly full of tears, she wiped a handful of tears with a handful, and said slowly: "Yes, after you disappeared at that time, your parents went around looking for you, but they never found you, and then because my father was going to transfer to another place to be an official, we moved our family away." I really didn't expect to be able to see you again after so many years, are you really my sister Bi'er? ”

I nodded vigorously, I never dreamed that I would meet my sister when I was a child here, but in fact it turned out that she was really my sister, she held me in her arms, and the two of us lost our voices.

Maybe some things are really predestined in the dark, I used to look for my family many times back then, but I didn't find it, and now when I inadvertently, my family came to my side again, and I hugged my sister and cried.

My sister asked me slowly: "I heard that the emperor wants to accept you as a concubine, what is going on?" ”

So I told me what happened, and after she heard what I said, she looked at me without worry, and said to me: "Do you really want to marry the current emperor as a concubine?" You have to think clearly, in the past, you used to be the concubine of Emperor Jianwen, and now you are married to the emperor, today's emperor has a violent personality, I am afraid that one day when the emperor is in a bad mood, it will affect you. ”

I looked at my sister, my eyes were full of determination, and I said to her: "Sister, I know that you are doing everything for my good, but I am really not a person who climbs the dragon and the phoenix. The reason why I married Emperor Jianwen as Jieyu was also because of my father's idea, and I never liked the emperor. Now, from the first time King Yan saved me, one of my hearts was captured by him, and I knew that he was the man I wanted to marry in my life, so I was willing to marry him as a concubine, even if it was destroyed for this, I would not regret it. ”

When my sister heard me say this, she sighed and said, "Since you have made up your mind, there is nothing more to say." Fortunately, Queen Xu is a very good person, and Concubine Wang Guifei is also a very virtuous and virtuous person, and I have the two of them to take care of you in the future, so I have nothing to worry about. ”

So this matter was settled, and when Queen Xu heard that Mrs. Jian was my biological sister, she was very surprised, and said: "I didn't expect that I wanted to arrange a net worth for Lian Jieyu, but it became your sister's recognition, which is really gratifying." ”

So I thanked Empress Xu with my sister, Empress Xu thought about it, and said to me and my sister: "There is one more thing I want to discuss with you, and now Siyao said that she wants to marry the emperor as a concubine, I have found a mother family for her again, and she is still the first imperial concubine, if she suddenly marries the emperor, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers and shake the emperor's position in the court." So after thinking about it, I came up with a method, I wanted to find another person to be included in the palace by the emperor as a concubine, so that it would not be so eye-catching for both of them to marry the emperor at the same time. ”

Hearing him say this, my sister asked, "I don't know that Queen Xu has an ideal candidate in her heart." ”

Empress Xu thought about it, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I do have an ideal candidate in my heart, and that person is Siyao's maidservant, such as a phoenix." ”

"Like a phoenix?" I was slightly stunned.

"Yes, it is Rufeng, I think Rufeng has served you very well, and she didn't leave you alone to escape for her life in such a dangerous situation, which shows that she is a very loyal slave. In this case, it is better to let her be with you all the time, I don't know what you think in your heart? ”

After hearing Queen Xu's words, I hurriedly nodded and said, "Everything is up to the queen." ”

It doesn't matter to me what kind of person Rufeng is, it doesn't matter to me that Rufeng wants to marry the emperor as a concubine, the most important thing is that I can stay by the emperor's side, and I can also feel that the emperor's heart does have a fiery love for me, all this is more important than anything else.

So, Queen Xu also found a mother's family for Rufeng, that is, let Rufeng recognize Ji Gang as her father, and Rufeng became Ji Gang's goddaughter, so that she could enter the palace as a concubine with me.

Soon, the two of us entered the palace as concubines, and after entering the palace, I was named Concubine Lian, and Rufeng was named a nobleman.

The emperor treated me very well, although I have also heard a lot of rumors about the emperor's cruelty and inhumanity, but in fact I think the emperor is not such a person, first of all, he is not such a person when he is to me, all this is more important than anything else.

And whenever he was angry, I persuaded him by his side, and he always listened.

In this way, I entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine.

In a person's life, he always has to meet a man who likes both himself and himself, and I am very glad that God let me meet him when I was young.

After I entered the palace, I was soon favored by the emperor, and he often came to visit me, and his heroism, his extraordinary spirit, and everything about him left a very heavy impression on my heart.

I began to understand why this person was able to seize the world, why this person was able to become a generation of hegemons, in short, he was also very important to me.

Soon, I became pregnant, and when he learned that I was pregnant, he was very happy, held my hand, and said to me: "Siyao, I am very happy to have a child that belongs to us." ”

I smiled and said to him, "Your Majesty, do you want our children to be boys or girls?" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, I like it, and the main thing is that it's our child." He said with great satisfaction, but after a while, he looked at me and smiled again: "I hope it's a girl, if it's a girl, it must be like you, I can see it every day, and I will be very happy." And it was comforting that a girl didn't have to get involved in court battles. ”

When I heard him say that, I didn't know how to answer for a while.

It turns out that he wants our child to be a girl so much, and since he thinks so, why don't I hope so? I said to him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Si Yao will definitely give birth to a princess for you." ”

He looked at me and smiled, his eyes full of intoxication and happiness.

I had never seen him so happy, and not long after, he passed down a decree and ordered me to be crowned imperial concubine.

When I received the holy decree, I was a little overwhelmed, because what I really liked was him, and his name was not important to me, and I never dreamed that he would suddenly make me the imperial concubine.

I know what this means, it means that in the harem, I am already under the queen alone, and above ten thousand, and I also know that after being named the imperial concubine, maybe my peaceful life will be broken in the future.

Sure enough, after he just named me the imperial concubine, the people in the harem rumored that I was favored, so all kinds of people came, including those who gave gifts and those who came to please, in short, there were all kinds of people.

The pace of my life suddenly became chaotic, and I was very unhappy.

After he saw it, he issued an edict that no one in the harem should come to visit me, and he was just thinking about me wholeheartedly, but he did not expect that his will would bring disaster to me.

I think, the women in the harem are sensitive and jealous, he has defended me again and again, and has repeatedly thought about me, which must have angered the women in the harem, they must have all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, but none of this matters, the important thing is that I can have a child with him, which is the happiest thing in the world for me.

It must be so, I said softly to myself.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the people in the palace to gradually forget the unhappiness of me being named the imperial concubine, after all, the position of the imperial concubine was not before, he specially set it up for me, he once said to me, the queen can only be Queen Xu, Queen Xu has a deep affection for him in this life, and he can't set up others anymore, but he won't wronged me.

Whenever I think of these words, I am very moved.

But I never dreamed that it would bring me bad luck for this reason.

Not long after, that day I suddenly felt that the weather was a little hot, and I was a little restless all morning.
