Fifty-four, the heart of a servant
Empress Dowager Zhou saw that Zhu Jianshen still respected herself, so she smiled again. So, after everyone's discussion, Zhu Jianshen chose his queen Shuntian Wu, Tianshun eight years of July 21, held a grand wedding ceremony in the Forbidden City, that day the whole world celebrated, the sixteen-year-old Wu put on the phoenix crown, she became the first queen of Xianzong - Zhu Jianshen.
After the Wu family became the queen, the most dissatisfied person was not the Empress Dowager Zhou, nor others, but Wan Zhen'er beside the Empress Dowager Zhou.
At this moment, Wan Zhen'er is already thirty-six years old, she is deliberately staying by the side of the Empress Dowager Zhou, accompanying the Empress Dowager Zhou into the cold palace, accompanying the Empress Dowager Zhou to suffer together, and hoping to have a better future.
She also rescued the emperor and Zhu Jianshen from the secret passage, and she hoped that Zhu Jianshen would be able to have the slightest affection for herself.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jianshen's mind was not here at all, Zhu Jianshen not only didn't take a serious look at her, but also married someone else to be the queen, which is more and more out of reach from the future that Wan Zhen'er planned for herself.
Wan Zhen'er is unwilling, is she destined to be a palace maid with no interest all her life? Do you really have to wait until later, when the white-headed palace maid is sitting idle and talking about Xuanzong? To end up with such an ending, it is really better to live than to die.
She thought of these things, and thought of when she went to take refuge in Yu Mian, Yu Mian was obviously interesting to her, but Yu Mian's mother, just because she was a prostitute, resolutely refused to let her move in and kicked her out of Yu Qian's mansion.
She thought of the days when she used to wander the streets of the capital, when everyone bullied her, even the beggars on the streets, and she never wanted to repeat the kind of life she lived in the future.
She wholeheartedly wants to get glory and wealth, wholeheartedly wants to get power, and wholeheartedly hopes to be able to become a powerful woman like the Empress Dowager Sun of the previous dynasty and the Empress Dowager Zhou of the dynasty, and now she originally planned to wait for the emperor to ascend the throne, and slowly seduced the emperor, but she did not expect that now she was given the opportunity by a sixteen-year-old Wu family to become the queen, which means that in time, she can win the favor of the emperor and become the emperor's concubine smoothly, but she is just a concubine, and she will be subservient to others for the rest of her life!
Wan Zhen'er was absolutely unwilling, she gritted her teeth, her snow-white teeth bit on her lower lip, and the red blood flowed out, she only felt that her heart was also dripping blood.
She thought about it, and felt that she couldn't rely on the Empress Dowager Zhou, she was now thirty-six years old, and she was also an older palace maid in the palace, that is, the Empress Dowager Zhou trusted herself and pampered herself on weekdays, and she might not allow herself to be the emperor's concubine, after all, this name is not right, not to mention her humble background.
Thinking of this, Wan Zhen'er decided that everything had to be fought for by herself, it wouldn't be long before she would be old and decrepit, and before long, she would be gone, she must take advantage of the fact that the matter has not yet become a foregone conclusion, she must quickly cut through the mess, and capture the heart of Xianzong Zhu Jianshen.
Thinking of this, Wan Zhen'er finally came up with a countermeasure, and she decided to seduce the emperor.
Wan Zhen'er's first step was to sabotage the wedding between the emperor and the Wu family.
That night, Zhu Jianshen, who had attended the wedding, was physically and mentally exhausted, and after the wedding, he stayed in the Qianqing Palace to handle official business and refused to leave. When he thought that his bride was not the one he wanted to marry, he felt very depressed. He commented on official documents in the palace, and he did so for a long, long time until a eunuch came to urge.
"Enlighten the emperor, Empress Dowager Qian ordered the servants to come and invite the emperor to drink wine with the queen.
Zhu Jianshen listened to the words of the little eunuch, shook his hand and said, "I know, you tell Empress Dowager Qian that I will be going in a while." β
When the little eunuch heard Zhu Jianshen say this, he didn't dare to say anything more and hurried out.
Not long after, the Empress Dowager Zhou sent Wan Zhen'er to urge, it turned out that Wan Zhen'er heard that after the emperor held a big wedding ceremony, she hid in the Qianqing Palace alone to deal with official business, she had expected that the emperor may not like this Shuntian Wu family, she said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "The emperor is now handling official business in the Qianqing Palace, and he has not yet gone to drink wine with the queen." β
Although the Empress Dowager Zhou doesn't like it, this Shuntian Wu family, but no matter what, she is always the queen that the emperor is marrying, if the emperor can stay in the Qianqing Palace, and refuse to see the Wu family, it is always unjustifiable, no matter how you say it. Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Zhou also said to Wan Zhen'er: "Zhen'er, since this is the case, you should hurry up and take the mourning family, mention the emperor, and let the emperor hurry up to drink wine with the queen, don't snub the queen, this queen is always the eldest princess, and the Empress Dowager Qian personally designated the queen,"
When Empress Dowager Zhou said this, there was still some sour taste in her voice, but despite this, she still knew the general person, especially when dealing with her son's affairs.
Wan Zhen'er was waiting for the words of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and when she heard the Empress Dowager Zhou say this, she said in her heart: "Isn't this the right time." So, she came to the Qianqing Palace and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Zhouβher words have just come here."
Zhu Jianshen waved his hand impatiently and said, "You are also here to urge me to drink wine with the queen, and after you go back to enlighten your mother, you will say that I already know, don't bother me," Zhu Jianshen said very irritably.
In fact, although he has been criticizing official documents all the time, in fact, a heart is tied to Tang Jingran's heart, and when he thinks of the woman he is about to face, it is not Tang Jingran, and he feels upset.
Wan Zhen'er walked forward, she held a pot in her hand, and there was a ceramic wine glass in the wine jug, her red lips were lightly raised, revealing her snow-white teeth, and she said with a smile: "The emperor Zhen'er is not here to urge, the emperor quickly drank wine with the queen, and the Empress Dowager Zhou saw that the emperor was reading the folds in the Qianqing Palace, and refused to go out, so she specially sent Zhen'er to send a pot of wine to warm the emperor's body." β
When Zhu Jianshen heard Wan Zhen'er say this, he suddenly felt very comforted in his heart, and said in his heart: "It's always good to be my biological mother, I care about myself, unlike Queen Qian, who only cares about the general situation of the country, and only knows how to urge myself to see the queen, but I don't want to think about what kind of mood he is, thinking of this, he said to Wan Zhen'er: "Okay, you can put this wine pot here, you go down first." β
Wan Zhen'er saw that Zhu Jianshen was very annoyed, so she said softly: "Your Majesty, today is the day of your wedding, aren't you happy, if you have something unhappy in your heart, why don't you say it to Zhen'er, we have always suffered." β
Wan Zhen'er's words reminded Zhu Jianshen of the past. He remembered that before, he was trapped in the secret passage with Wan Zhen'er, and it was Wan Zhen'er who tried his best to save him from the secret passage, and if Wan Zhen'er hadn't rescued him, he wouldn't have lived. Not to mention that he would not meet such a beautiful woman at the city gate, Tang was shocked by such a beautiful woman, no matter how he said it, he would like to thank Wan Zhen'er. Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Wan Zhen'er: "Since that's the case, that's fine."
Wan Zhen'er used to see every scene in Qianhong Courtyard before, and she could see it clearly, whether it was the fake drama coming true, the love of the mirror, or the real love of the play, and the virtual fake play, she could see it clearly. What's more, facing Zhu Jianshen, such a hairy boy who is only eighteen years old and has just begun to fall in love.
What Zhu Jianshen was thinking in his heart, Wan Zhen'er was naturally able to see it easily. She brought a glass of wine to Zhu Jianshen, and said softly: "The emperor will drink a glass of wine to warm up his body first, as for what he has to say, let's talk slowly." β
Zhu Jianshen saw that Wan Zhen'er was so considerate, but he didn't think of anything else, because after all, Wan Zhen'er was thirty-six years old, twice as old as Zhu Jianshen, and she was already older than his mother, how could Zhu Jianshen think of it a lot. So he raised his glass and drank it, sighing as soon as he was done.
Wan Zhen'er heard Zhu Jianshen's incessant sigh, so she took two steps closer to Zhu Jianshen and said softly: "Your Majesty, you have something angry in your heart, otherwise why would you be so sullen on your wedding day, if Zhen'er guessed well, I'm afraid the emperor didn't like the queen originally." β
Zhu Jianshen saw that Wan Zhen'er said what he thought in his heart, "alas", so he sighed and said: "How could it be, as an emperor, you can't even make your own decisions about what kind of wife you want to marry, which is really a great sorrow for the emperor in the world." β
Zhu Jianshen's childish words, Wan Zhen'er smiled, she poured another glass of wine, and said in front of Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, please drink a cup, the spring is cold, and drinking more wine is good for your body." β
Zhu Jianshen didn't doubt her, grabbed the wine glass and drank it again. Wan Zhen'er knocked on the side and smiled: "Your Majesty, you don't like this Shuntian Wu family, but you like the Shangyuan Wang family recommended by the Empress Dowager Zhou for you, in fact, the slave maid also thinks that the Shangyuan Wang family looks amorous and beautiful, but the Shangyuan Wang family will be the emperor's concubine sooner or later, why should the emperor be so worried." β
Zhu Jianshen snatched the wine jug himself, poured a glass of wine, drank it, and said with melancholy: "The so-called sad person has no embrace, but Zhen'er, you don't know at all, what I am thinking in my heart, you are not my bosom friend." β
Wan Zhen'er said with a smile: "Zhen'er doesn't want to be the emperor's bosom friend, Zhen'er would rather be a listener." β
Zhu Jianshen saw the sincerity of what Wan Zhen'er said, so he couldn't help but pour out the bitter water in his heart to Wan Zhen'er. It turned out that he liked Tang Jingran's matter, which had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, and for a long time, he hid it in his heart and didn't dare to disclose it to anyone, in fact, sometimes, it was a very uncomfortable thing to suppress a secret by himself and not dare to tell others. After a few glasses of wine, Zhu Jianshen couldn't control his feelings, so he told Wan Zhen'er eloquently. He told Wan Zhen'er how he met Tang Jingran under the city gate that day, how Tang Jingran was ethereal and different, and her beauty was like an endless stream of clouds on the horizon. The beauty is elegant and indifferent, without a trace of mortal dust; Her beauty is like a lotus flower in the lake of the mirror, which can be viewed from afar, but not blasphemed, that kind of beauty is not all in the world. From the first time Zhu Jianshen saw her, he had already hidden this woman deep in his heart.
Wan Zhen'er listened to Zhu Jianshen's account of how he fell in love with Tang Zhenran, and at the same time secretly calculated in her heart. She didn't calculate it, it turned out that what Zhu Jianshen liked was the head of the Candle Shadow Shake Red and the Confession Gate - Tang Jingran. Tang Jingran is seven or eight years older than Zhu Jianshen, and he is a woman in the rivers and lakes, so the emperor will like him but not himself. Thinking of this, Wan Zhen'er felt a nameless anger rising to the sky.
She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and said to Zhu Jianshen passionately: "Your Majesty, the word love is the most hurtful, you should not be too lovesick, so as not to hurt your body, no matter what you can do, now you are a person who has a queen." β
Zhu Jianshen heard Wan Zhen'er say this, and his heart felt even heavier. He originally thought that the position of the queen was just reserved for the woman he loved the most in his life, but he didn't expect that as the emperor, there would be times when he couldn't help himself. Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "Alas, Zhen'er, what you said is right, lovesickness hurts people, but I have never been able not to think about it.
The more Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er talked, the more speculative they became, Wan Zhen'er's every word was like a sharp knife, piercing Zhu Jianshen's heart, he thought of the unreachable Tang Shock, and his heart felt more and more angry, and the fog of reality made him unable to get rid of it, unable to get out, and helplessly could only be trapped in a small circle, thinking of this. He poured out the wine in the jug one by one, and drank it into his stomach one by one, and the wine fell into his bowels and turned into lovesick tears.
Unconsciously, a pot of wine was drunk by Zhu Jianshen, and soon the effect of the wine came into play, it turned out that Wan Zhen'er had already placed an aphrodisiac called Hehesan in this pot of wine, as long as this aphrodisiac was drunk, it would make people lose their nature, and they would not think about anything except Huanhao.
Zhu Jianshen suddenly felt that his whole body was hot, and the heat was like a fire. He raised his head and saw Wan Zhen'er Wan Tingting standing beside him, her face was pretty, her face seemed to be familiar, he was taking a closer look, but Wan Zhen'er had become, he was thinking about Tang Zhen, she was still so beautiful, beautiful and incomprehensible, beautiful as if she was a jade person in the sky, shocked, shocked... He called her name.
As soon as Wan Zhen'er heard Zhu Jianshen and call Tang Jingran's name, her whole heart suddenly became cold, as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar. Despite this, she still replied kindly: "Emperor, Emperor." β
Zhu saw that he was in a trance, and he only felt that he saw Tang Jingran standing in front of him, he called for Tang Jingran, and Tang Jingran actually responded to his call. Tang Jingran's call to him also contained deep affection, which made him very moved.
And the fire burning in his body made him unable to control his emotions, he hugged Wan Zhen'er in his arms, and withdrew the Luo shirt on her body one by one. He didn't want to do it either, but the effect of the attack made him unable to control himself, and soon Wan Zhen'er's clothes were withdrawn by him, and then Zhu Jianshen was stunned by the power of the medicine, and the two of them became a ball......
Before I knew it, the long night passed negligently.
Very early the next day, Zhu Jianshen opened his eyes, and he couldn't help but be startled when he saw that it was Wan Zhen'er lying naked next to him.
At this time, Wan Zhen'er also woke up, she saw Zhu Jianshen, with an incredible vision, and a hurt eye, she tried to calm herself, this thing she had already expected the ending, and she had long thought of the ending she was going to face.
She covered her face with her hands, tears flowed out, and she cried: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, how can you treat Zhen'er like this, how will Zhen'er see people in the future," Wan Zhen'er became more and more aggrieved the more she spoke, her tears were like beads with broken threads, and her face was wet with her clothes.
Zhu Jianshen also wanted to ask Wan Zhen'er what happened, but when he saw that Wan Zhen'er was so wronged, it seemed that it was... He thought back to the events of the previous night. It seems that I drank a lot of wine last night, and I said some words to Wan Zhen'er, is it really me, I can't control my emotions, and I am with Wan Zhen'er...
He looked at Wan Zhen'er and said apologetically: "Zhen'er, I'm sorry, I was not good last night, I took you as Tang Shock, Tang girl." β
"Your Majesty, how can you say such a thing to Zhen'er, Zhen'er's virginity has been taken away by the emperor, but what the emperor said to Zhen'er is the name of the second woman," After speaking, Wan Zhen'er put on her clothes, covered her face and cried, and rushed out of the Qianqing Palace.
Wan Zhen'er, after leaving the Qianqing Palace, wiped the tears off her face. She knew exactly what she was going to do next. In the next step, she has to meet the Empress Dowager Zhou, because if she wants to really become Zhu Jianshen's concubine, then there is one person who must pass, that person is the Empress Dowager Zhou, as long as the Empress Dowager Zhou supports her, she will be half of the success.
She rushed to Yanxi Palace, and when she saw the Empress Dowager Zhou, she knelt down and cried: "Empress Dowager, you want to be the master of the slaves." β
Empress Dowager Zhou was sleeping deeply, and was suddenly woken up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Wan Zhen'er kneeling in front of her. It turned out that Wan Zhen'er was the confidant and maidservant of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and she could enter and leave the Empress Dowager Zhou's bedroom freely, she cried and came to the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs dared to stop her, so they had to let her in.
Empress Dowager Zhou saw Wan Zhen'er crying pear blossoms with rain, as if she had been greatly wronged, and she did not blame her for the sin of waking herself up. She put on her clothes and got up, and asked, "Zhen'er, what happened, you are crying and crying like this, is it that the palace maids and eunuchs of which palace are bullying you again, you tell the mourning family, the mourning family will definitely be your master." β
Wan Zhen'er was in tears while serving the Empress Dowager Zhou and dressing. Her tears were like beads with broken threads, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Queen Mother, no one bullies Zhen'er."
Although she said so, the expression of the committee member made Empress Dowager Zhou not realize that she was being bullied.
Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but be a little angry, and said: "Do you say that it is not the Empress Dowager Qian's people who bullied you, or the people of the eldest princess who bullied you, is it that scattered, that scattered mourning family has always been unaccustomed to it, no matter who bullies you, even if you tell the mourning family, the mourning family must come out for you, that is, the person of the eldest princess, and you can't bully the palace maid of the mourning family at will, not to mention that you are the confidant of the mourning family." β
Wan Zhen'er still shook her head, she burst into tears and said: "Queen Mother, Zhen'er doesn't dare to say, it's Zhen'er's mistake, please punish Zhen'er." β
"Oh, Zhen'er, did you do something wrong, you were scared, you didn't dare to tell the mourning family, you just said it, the mourning family made the decision for you."
Wan Zhen'er heard what the Empress Dowager Zhou said, and thought to herself, now is almost the time to speak, so she wiped her tears and said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "The Empress Dowager, things are not what you think, you asked me to invite the emperor last night to the queen's palace and drink alloy wine with the queen......
"Yes, there was such a thing last night, did you go and invite the emperor to the queen's side?" Empress Dowager Zhou asked Wan Zhen'er. Before Wan Zhen'er could answer, Empress Dowager Zhou Huo stood up, the anger on her face couldn't be hidden, she said angrily: "I know what happened, and I also know why Zhen'er you are so wronged," Empress Dowager Zhou's words made Wan Zhen'er feel horrified, after all, she did something wrong, she couldn't help but think, did Empress Dowager Zhou know her tricks.
