Chapter 235
After returning from Princess Ming, Queen Cao has always felt uneasy, but she doesn't quite understand what she is panicking about. Is it because she is already old, but Qin Fu'er is still as noble and dignified as she was thirty years ago? Or did she originally think that even if His Majesty's heart was not here, but she was the queen, she was the mother of a country, and her status was here, even if the person Her Majesty had always pretended to be Qin Fu'er Qin Fu'er, she was already the princess of Ming thirty years ago, and she was His Majesty's brother-in-law, and they would never be able to do it again!
But now that she looks, she feels that she is really deceiving herself, and for all these years, she has really been living in the beautiful dream she has woven for herself. Never woke up. At the beginning, if it wasn't for Empress Liu as a hindrance, the one who wanted to be the queen now would be Princess Ming.
She firmly believes that as long as the person Your Majesty married was the Qin family, according to her understanding of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will never have another woman. Thinking of this, Empress Cao felt like a cone of pain in her heart, Her Majesty never cared about her, except for the Qin family, Her Majesty didn't care about anyone.
And back then, the Qin family would ruthlessly break the oath between the two for His Majesty.
This night, Queen Cao thought a lot, thirty years have passed, and the bits and pieces of these thirty years are now pieced together and recalled, and I don't know what it feels like in my heart. There are grievances, unwillingness, and remorse, but more importantly, it is still nostalgia for all the good things in the past.
Once, when Sister Qin and His Majesty were fine, she silently followed the two of them......
And at that time, His Majesty would occasionally smile at her, the kind of smile that came from the bottom of his heart. A clean and hearty young man, with picturesque eyebrows, heroic posture, Wen Ke Anbang, and martial arts can set the country. Back then, the four young princes moved to the capital, and they became martial arts, and the most prominent one was King Yi.
It is precisely because the four kings are too prominent that this has aroused the jealousy of Empress Liu, who is afraid that the crown prince will not be able to sit on the throne, so he will plot to provoke.
Qin Fu'er became a chess piece in the hands of Empress Liu, and since then, King Yi of the Ming Dynasty has not communicated with each other, and there have been occasional wars. And the Liu family covered the sky with one hand and controlled the government for nearly 30 years.
If we talk about it, whose fault is this? If Liu Hou had not been in the way, what would the current situation be?
Everyone in the world is concerned, and His Majesty is romantic today, because they have forgotten ...... used to be a teenager, the famous young king of the capital.
Because she remembered too many things from her youth the night before, Queen Cao didn't sleep well all night, and when she woke up the next day, her complexion was a little bad, and her eyes were swollen. When the waiting grandmother saw it, she hurriedly ordered to fetch hot water to compress Queen Cao's eyes, and when the queen's mother was almost dressed and dressed, the mother said: "Niangniang, the fourth concubine and the little masters have already come to Zhengyang Palace, waiting to see Niangniang." ”
Empress Cao was not very interested, the women in the harem were jealous, and she didn't want to let those women see her appearance, so she said: "This palace is not feeling well today, so I will spare their peace, you go and say it, let the sisters disperse." ”
"Yes, Queen. The grandmother answered, and withdrew.
Empress Cao looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and the appearance of Princess Ming she saw last night suddenly appeared in front of her, and she became more and more uncomfortable.
Jealousy is a woman's nature, no matter how good the relationship is, if there is emotional involvement, those sisterly feelings will not be pure. In this life and this life, since there is such an entanglement, Queen Cao's feelings for Princess Ming have gradually faded, and when she remembers the beautiful time, she will miss it, but it is only nostalgia.
"Niangniang, the fourth concubine and the little masters have already gone back. "After Mama finished her work, she came back to greet Queen Cao.
Empress Cao was still thinking about the matter between the prince and the king of Jin, but Princess Ming persuaded her not to meddle in political affairs, but she didn't listen. Even, there was a faint deliberate desire to do it against Princess Ming, Princess Ming said that she couldn't do things, but she Cao Fen didn't want to hear it, so she had to try to do it.
Now the only thing she feels proud of, the only thing she feels that she is not inferior to Princess Ming, is that she gave birth to two capable sons.
Although there is partiality, she does not deny that King Jin is indeed a rare military wizard.
Thinking about it, he said: "Send someone to wait outside the Ideological and Political Palace, Your Majesty has made an early dynasty, and immediately ordered someone to come back to report reads;." After that, he got up with the handmaid's hand, and ordered, "Recently, Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs, and he has always worked hard, so you go to the imperial dining room and order someone to cook a soup to wake up, and the palace will personally send it to Your Majesty in a while." ”
"Yes, Queen. ”
After Zhao Qian left the early court, he called the prince and the king of Jin to the Qinzheng Palace, and the father, son and brother talked for a while.
To be honest, although Zhao Qian did not have much affection for the queen, he was extremely satisfied with the two sons she gave birth to. The prince is filial piety and diligent, and in government affairs, he can put forward a lot of opinions that benefit the country and the people, and he is honest and enterprising, and he loves his brothers. King Jin is a military wizard who is rare in the ages, this point, Zhao Gan admits that today's King of Jin, in terms of military opinions, is that he was still high-spirited thirty years ago, and it is also incomparable.
Now that the whole country is safe, the courtiers are dedicated to the court, loyal to him Zhao Gan, and willing to follow their father and son to build a prosperous and prosperous world. But people do have selfish intentions, especially when it comes to personal interests, and they can't help but plan for their own business.
is father and son, and it is no exception, this is the emperor's family.
No matter what His Majesty looks like in the eyes of outsiders, since Zhao Gan can sit in the position of the Ninety-Five Emperor and stand out among the other three brothers, he should have his merits. Today, His Majesty often lives in the harem, but he is also diligent in government affairs, and his work efficiency is quite high, and he keeps the whole world in order.
After the conversation between father and son, Zhao Qian sent the two sons away, and then he stood alone in front of the window.
Somehow, he thought of the past, and the scenes of the past were clearly presented in his mind, and the hand behind him gradually clenched tightly, but he did not move, until the voice of greeting peace sounded low behind him, he let go of his clenched fist, lowered his eyes slightly for a moment, and then turned around.
Empress Cao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what are you thinking, so obsessed." After that, he brought the soup soup on the plate held by the servant on the side, "Your Majesty has been tired recently, and the concubine specially ordered someone to make a sobering soup, Your Majesty drink it while it is hot, it is good for your body." ”
"Let's all go down. Zhao Gan didn't respond to Empress Cao in time, only gave an order, but after seeing the servants and maids in the palace rushing out, Zhao Gan looked at Empress Cao and said, "The queen sits." ”
Empress Cao's hands were a little stiff, and the hands holding the soup bowl trembled slightly.
She was thinking about what His Majesty's attitude would be towards if it was Princess Ming who was standing in front of Her Majesty at this moment, and she came to bring soup to Her Majesty. The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt in my heart, so I didn't think much about it, and just obediently said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he rested the bowl on the table and sat down lightly.
"Have you been to see her?" Zhao Qian sat behind the dragon case, his eyes were a little deep, his tone was neither high nor low, and his tone was not slow.
only said one sentence lightly, just a few words, but it made Queen Cao shiver.
Empress Cao looked up at the man sitting behind the dragon case in shock, and for a moment, she only felt as if she had never known him. Feeling familiar to him, and feeling strange to him, looking at his current face, a hint of a smile hanging on the corner of his lips, he thought of the smile he showed to himself after he found out when she was quietly hiding to the side to peek at him.
At that time, she didn't understand, was that kind of laughter a mockery?
I didn't understand it before, and I still don't understand it now, thirty years have passed, and she seems to have never understood him.
"Sister Qin and I haven't seen each other for thirty years, and the things of my youth, now that I think about it, I still remember it vividly;. Empress Cao said truthfully, "Therefore, without Your Majesty's consent, I went to see her privately, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive her sins." ”
"Don't go after that. Zhao Gan's voice was flat, he couldn't see the joy and anger, he paused for a moment, and then said, "How is she living there?"
Empress Cao smiled and said: "Everything is very good, Sister Qin is also very optimistic, when the concubine goes, she is talking with the girl." Quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Gan, but seeing that he was still indifferent, Empress Cao pondered, and said, "Your Majesty, you and Sister Qin haven't seen each other for thirty years, why don't you go to see her?"
Zhao Qian didn't answer her question, only raised his hand and gently tapped on the dragon case, and asked, "How is the Queen Mother's birthday prepared?"
Empress Cao was stunned for a moment, and her heart was cold for a moment before she replied: "Thanks to the help of the fourth concubine, everything is well prepared, Your Majesty, please rest assured, the concubines will not be lazy." ”
"That's good. Zhao Qian nodded lightly, and said, "I trust the queen by handing over the harem to the queen." ”
Empress Cao didn't understand for a while, the harem was handed over to the queen to take care of, shouldn't this be a matter of course? How can you believe it or not? If you can't believe it, why don't you have to abolish her as a queen? I thought again, there is no one in my mother's family, and my background is not high, and when I was able to become a princess, Your Majesty was more or less because I remembered that I had eaten and lived with Princess Ming, and to put it bluntly, it was in the face of Princess Ming.
And now that she can be the queen, it is also because of the mother and the son, because there is the prince and the king of Jin, so she became the queen.
In the final analysis, she is now the mother of a country, not because Her Majesty cares about herself, but because of others.
Over the years, Empress Cao still felt so embarrassed and chilled for the first time, and for the first time, she felt that no matter how much she paid silently, Her Majesty would not look at her more. Come to think of it, he was willing to marry himself because of Princess Ming, but it was also because of Princess Ming that he was unwilling to get closer to him.
Because once you get close to yourself, those sad past events will come to mind.
And those are all things that he deliberately avoids and does not want to think about.
Empress Cao's heart ached, but she only was silent for her son, and then said: "Your Majesty let go, the concubines will definitely lead the four concubines to take care of the harem, and they will not disappoint Your Majesty." Empress Cao's voice trembled slightly, and she said a few words, but seeing that Her Majesty didn't reply again, she hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that yesterday morning, His Majesty personally said about canonizing Chaoyang as the county lord?"
"Does the queen have any objections?" Zhao Qian asked lightly.
Empress Cao said: "The concubines don't dare, but they ...... Chaoyang is still young, will there be something wrong with being named the county lord this time? Although the king of Jin has made military achievements, in the end, the crown prince is the prince, and Chaoyang is the county lord, and the East Palace is now not even a princess, so it is ...... to think about it."
Empress Cao didn't continue to say the following words, because she looked up and saw His Majesty's expression, so she gradually restrained it.
Since there is no girl in the capital that the prince can look down on, the queen has worked hard these days, and she has chosen one of these Jiangnan family daughters to be the prince's wife. Zhao Qian didn't look at Empress Cao again, only lowered his head and began to review the folds.
Empress Cao looked at the soup soup that was gradually getting cold, and her heart cooled down a little bit, although His Majesty did not drive her away, but she was also interested, and took the initiative to ask for peace, so she withdrew.
It was snowing outside again, and when I lifted the curtain, a cold wind hit me, completely chilling my heart. 166 Reading Network
