Four hundred and thirty-five queens

Previous Chapter

Xie Ning stared at the leak, and for the first time felt that the time was so long and so tormenting. Bayi Chinese Network ?? (a).

She longed for the dawn and feared it.

She also asked about the order of Li, and she understood the meaning of the order.

If the emperor can reduce his fever tonight, there will be no major problem. If these two doses of fierce medicine go down, the emperor will not improve......

She sat beside him like this, and for some reason suddenly remembered the time when she saw the emperor in the imperial garden.

She didn't really want to go out that day. and Liu Cairen, they say that they are like sisters, but in fact, they ...... Just like the sisters of Xie Ning and other girls in the Xie family, their faces are not compatible with each other, there is no friendship between them, there is a hidden wit in their words, and the corners of their eyebrows and eyes are lawsuits. Shainin felt that going out with them was not for fun, it was like being offended, and he had to be careful and careful in his words, not tired enough.

Plus her shoes didn't fit well that day. Two pairs of old shoes, one small and tight. A pair of washed haven't dried. The new shoes are a bit pinched and too tight. When she did it, Qinghe of course measured her feet, and deliberately released an extra point. But she didn't know what to do with her feet, and it seemed to have grown a little longer during that time, so when the shoes were ready, they felt tight when they were put on.

But Liu Cairen and the others insisted on inviting each other, and Xie Ning couldn't refuse, so he went with him.

The flowers in the Imperial Garden bloomed really well that day, there was a piece of light pink, planted on the side of the rockery, and the flowers bloomed just right. A pink color was like a mist, covering all the green leaves, as if someone had shaken off the silk brocade and spread it in this place.

The precious flowers and trees, these little talents and concubines, did not dare to fold, for fear of angering the nobles. But these less precious flowers and plants don't have to be taboo so much. Everyone else folded the hairpin, and she also folded a pink flower, the petals were a little thin, and the green lotus was in the middle for her.

It was a lively day and the weather was good.

Some people flutter butterflies, some people fight grass, and some people talk about needlework and thread together...... Later, the emperor came, and everyone knelt on the ground.

That day, the emperor asked her a question, and then he called her to sleep with her.

Since then, her life has been completely different.

There was suddenly one more person in her life, this person was irresistible, she gradually got used to such a person, but she didn't know when he and her seemed to be integrated, and it was no longer inseparable.

Xie Ning thought of this in a trance, obviously it was not a few years apart, but there were so many things in the middle, favored, Jinfeng, pregnant, giving birth, Princess Mingshou rebelled, how many guns and arrows, many people rose and fell, from Yingxiang Pavilion to Yong'an Palace......

I think about it like something from my previous life.

She didn't seem to have asked the emperor yet, why, among so many people in the Imperial Garden that day, the emperor saw her?

Why haven't you remembered to ask this before?

Now she thought about it, but ...... Is it still too late?

Can she still ask? Will the emperor still answer her?

Xie Ning changed a handkerchief on the emperor's forehead again. The wet handkerchief wringed with water was placed on the emperor's forehead for a while, but it was ironed even hotter by his body temperature.

Qinghe went out with a basin of water, and when she came in again, the concubine was lying on the edge of the couch, looking too tired and asleep.

Qinghe slowed down her movements, took a short piece and carefully put it on her body.

It's good to be able to sleep for a while, but don't wake her up, otherwise you will have to keep your eyes open and watch the emperor suffer.

Xie Ning was in a daze, and he didn't know how long it had been, but suddenly when he opened his eyes, the hall was already lit up.

It's not the light of the candles, it's the dawn of the day, and there's a bright light on the window.

Xie Ning was taken aback and raised his head suddenly.

She fell asleep on her stomach like this!

If something really happened to her and she misunderstood, Xie Ning would really regret dying.

How is the emperor?

As soon as she moved, the short squirrel that was on her body slipped off.

But Shainin can't take care of this anymore.

The emperor lay there, and the posture seemed to be no different from what she remembered before she fell asleep.

But his eyes were opened, and he was looking at her quietly with a clear and steady gaze.

Shainin blinked again.

"Your Majesty?"

The emperor nodded slightly to her.

Xie Ning stood there in a daze, finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly raised his voice: "Someone!" Come! "The people who were guarding outside the curtain and outside the palace gate came in one after another, and those who brought water and medicine rushed forward to treat the emperor.

The fever subsided, and the people woke up, the emperor is fine.

Xie Ning couldn't speak, and he forgot to let go of the emperor's hand all the time.

Yes, the fever did go away. It was hot to hold this hand last night, but now it is only a little warmer than hers, as usual.

The emperor can only speak out loud after drinking warm water, and after two days of burning, although the person is awake, but his voice is so dumb that he can't speak, and the doctor said that this is not a serious illness, and it will be fine if he recuperates for a while.

The emperor later said that he woke up early that day, but when he saw Xie Ning sleeping next to the bed, he couldn't bear to call her, and he was still a little groggy, so he fell asleep with her again.

The emperor's illness is really appalling, Xie Ning will not allow him to worry about it like that anymore, no matter how much the emperor is worried about those backlog of music, Xie Ning will not be accommodating.

Although the fever subsided, the person also woke up, but the emperor's whole person also became a lot weaker all of a sudden, and it took another day to get up after waking up, and then slowly went down to the ground to be able to walk around, Xie Ning was not at ease to hold him on the side, and he did not dare to let the emperor go out of the palace after half a month, for fear of being blown and cold by the wind again.

The emperor had never seen her like this, knowing that she was frightened, and all kinds of comfort did not have much effect. When sleeping together, Shainin is always at ease, and he always has to pull him and touch him, so that he can sleep soundly.

By the time the emperor was good and he could govern the dynasty as usual, it was already the coldest time of the year, and the snow had already fallen twice.

Xie Ning had to stay in bed from time to time to recuperate.

She has been working hard these days, and her body is not feeling well, but she can't take care of herself, and now she is pregnant again. It is precisely because of the hard work and worry that this time the fetal image is not very stable, far less than the previous two times when she was pregnant with the second prince and the third prince, the imperial doctor instructed to be sure to recuperate.

Thinking about it, not only is she afraid, but the emperor is even more afraid.

If he didn't wake up in time, what if he ...... If Xie Ning had any mistakes with this child, it would be really regrettable.

Shainin himself felt a little sorry for the child.

One is because the weather is getting colder, and there are many things. Then when the emperor fell ill, where could she take care of her own discomfort? Fortunately, this child has a big life and was not tossed by her. The emperor was more frightened than her, and since the imperial doctor said that she would stay in bed to recuperate, he let people watch her all day long and not get out of bed.

At night, his hand was weakly pressed on her stomach, and the two talked quietly.

"I don't know if this time it will be a prince or a little princess."

The first two times she was pregnant, the emperor didn't mention whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl, for fear that she would be worried. But this time it's different. Xie Ning has already given birth to two sons, and this time it is good for both the prince and the princess.

The emperor even thought that it would be good to give birth to a little princess, like Xie Ning, beautiful and well-behaved, and how likable.

"The concubines don't know either."

Shainin also wanted a daughter in his heart. The boy is too naughty and naughty, the second prince and the third prince are enough for her, and she really can't bear it with another naughty bag. The princess is very good, the princess should always be quieter, and she can be with her for a longer time.

"When this child is born, I will make a decree that you will be the queen."

Xie Ning didn't expect him to say this, so he got up and turned his head to look at him with a slight bow.

"Why did the emperor suddenly mention this?"

Didn't you say earlier that the second prince didn't mention the matter of the future before they grew up?

The emperor looked at her face that was as beautiful as before, and helped her lie down gently: "There is nothing inappropriate about this, at the end of next year and the beginning of the next year, Ying Yan should also get married, and then he will leave the palace to open the mansion, and Hong'er should also open his studies, not too early." ”

He wanted to give her her rightful place. No matter how much pampering there is, a concubine is always a concubine. If it was like the last time, he suddenly couldn't afford to get sick, Xie Ning was just a concubine, and the children were so young, without his protection, the clan and the ministers would not be convinced by her.

Only by being right can you be right. Mrs. Fang refused to be the queen mother, and he did not set up a queen, once he had a case, whether Mrs. Fang or the concubine, the status and momentum were not enough to compete with the clan, and at that time, I am afraid that he could only be at his mercy.

He had to give her the status and strength to protect herself.

He couldn't leave his beloved woman, his son's mother, unsupported. After a hundred years, they will be buried together in the imperial mausoleum, living together and dying in the same cave. This is a treatment that only the queen has, and the concubines can only be buried in the concubine mausoleum elsewhere, and cannot share the coffin tomb with the emperor and queen.

The emperor held one of her hands, and gently stroked the other hand behind his back: "Sleep...... If you don't sleep, surely you can't sleep with children, right? There's no rush in this matter, let the Zongzheng Temple and the Ministry of Rites prepare first, and there will be some time before you give birth to the child. ”

is different from the concubine, even if it is a noble concubine, at that time, it was only Zongzheng Temple and the inner palace supervisor who were busy, because the concubines of Jin Feng were all family affairs and private affairs of the emperor, and they should not be managed by the Ministry of Etiquette. However, after the canonization of a country, it is different, there are countless red tapes in the middle, and it is by no means an overnight thing.

But how many times is there to delay until the child's first birthday?

It's been a matter of the last year or two.

The emperor didn't explain the reason, but Xie Ning also understood it in his heart.

The emperor is afraid......

I'm afraid that I can't accompany her until the end, so I want to canonize her and make her queen.

Xie Ning would rather not be this queen, but also hope that he will live well, live a long life, and live a good life together.

However, as a queen, she can be regarded as his wife.

No matter what he does to her, she knows in her heart that it's one thing, but outsiders won't approve of it. No matter how favored she is, she is just a concubine, a concubine, not the one who can stand side by side with the emperor.

In terms of rank, in terms of years and years, the concubines are only one step away from the queen. But this step is like a moat. Wives and concubines are not the same, they are not the same when they are alive, and they are not the same when they are dead.

"Don't think about it so much, go to bed early...... When the time comes, you can just take care of the canonization of the scenery. Ji Fu I deliberately asked people to draw it, and I turned around and sent it to you to pick, and picked the most luxurious and beautiful one. ”

Shainin's face was pressed against his chest, and he listened to him quietly.

In fact, she didn't take these words to heart.

She just couldn't let go.

I can't bear every moment the two of them are together.

For example, the emperor said that he wanted to canonize her, and she had to thank her. But to say thank you, just to make a show, saying that she is not talented enough, not enough to become the mother of the world, and then the emperor will say that she will resign again, she will have to say something about three resignations and three invitations, and she can only do this after going through the motions.

But when the emperor said at this time, she hummed softly and said, "Listen to the emperor." ”

"Okay, then I'll take care of everything for you, you just have to take care of the baby and wait for delivery."

Xie Ning's hand groped, clasping with the emperor's ten fingers.

She just wanted to stay with him. For a long time, it will be safe and sound. No suspicion, no separation.

If he is the emperor, then she will be his queen.

He is a pawn of a peddler, and she also followed him, became his mother-in-law, raised children, and supported each other for a lifetime.

In the autumn of the sixteenth year of Yuanchang, Xie Ning gave birth to four princes, and the emperor named this son Tang.

In the spring of the seventeenth year of Yuanchang, Xie Ning was canonized as the queen.

Three days before the canonization, the emperor fasted and bathed, and went to the ancestral temple of heaven and earth. Xie Ning dressed up in front of the palace gate to welcome the emperor and return to the palace after the sacrifice.

The bright yellow Luo umbrella moved forward, and the honor guard of the Son of Heaven slowly walked into the city gate. Covering the sky and the sun, the yellow umbrella, the sun and the moon fan, the purple flag...... At that moment, the sun was dazzling, and Empress Xie's Luan drove on the royal road and stepped forward to meet him.
