Since marrying into the palace with Fengyu, Yan Qi knew that he would not live long.

Her father, Yan Wu, is a famous general in Da Suhehe, with an army of 300,000, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is in power. It's a pity that this general is not too loyal to the imperial court.

When the emperor died of illness, it was very sudden, the illness began in the morning, and the person walked at night. So much so that the ministers were at a loss and were taken advantage of by Yan Qi's father.

The first emperor did not appoint a crown prince or write an edict, so her father took advantage of the chaos to support the six princes to ascend the throne. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty looked at her father's knife that was still dripping with blood, and silently swallowed back the voice of opposition.

Liang Xing, the sixth prince, is a puppet carefully selected by his father, he has been frail and sick since he was a child, and he has been recuperating in Taoist temples. Not only does he have no power in the DPRK, but even there are only a handful of officials who know him.

Such a prince who has no foundation, no means, and is not even in good health, after succeeding to the throne, he is not allowed to be rubbed and rounded.

In the midst of singing and declining, he ascended the throne as emperor.

The happiest person in the audience was Yan Qi's father, because this puppet was very well found.

These had nothing to do with Yan Qi, she just needed to knock the melon seeds to see the excitement, and after her father usurped the throne and successfully rebelled, she would casually crown a princess.

But I don't know that his father made a mistake and wanted to marry a princess? The good name is not at ease with conscience.

【】

Liang Xing is much better looking than Yan Qi imagined.

The two provinces are like a pine tree, like a humble gentleman, he is so white that it is transparent, like the white of jade.

He was still very tall, and Yan Qi was also up to his shoulder. may have stayed in the martial arts family for too long, so after seeing Liang Xing, Yanqi instantly felt that the person in front of her was like a full scholar, and felt that she was very weak.

On the first night with Liang Xiang, Yanqi chatted with him for nearly a night

The eunuch who kept vigil reminded in a low voice outside the door: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, it's not early, rest early." ”

There is only one concubine in the harem now, and Liang Xing's biological mother died early, so there is no queen mother. Yan Qi, the palace maid and eunuch around him, didn't know him very well, so he didn't even have anyone to talk to.

Liang Xing didn't speak, but he seemed quite comfortable, and he could watch the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard for a whole day.

The loneliness in the deep palace is unfathomable, and Yan Qi is not a person who can endure loneliness. Especially when there is no fun in the palace, I don't know how to spend this lot of time.

Luckily, the dining room is big enough.

On the tenth day of entering the palace, Yan Qi finally found a place suitable for her to pretend.

The fat chef in the imperial dining room has excellent skills, as long as Yan Qi can report his name, he can make it. Yan Qi doubted whether he would make all the dishes in the world.

Because there is a place to pass the time, it gets dark quickly. It wasn't until the eunuchs reminded him that Yan Qi realized that it had been a moment.

When I returned to the dormitory, my conscience was already lying on the bed and ready for bed.

The conscience slept very lightly, and at this time he was already frowning, and Yan Qi was worried about waking him up, so he immediately relaxed his movements and quietly lay down next to him.

A few days later, on a good day, Yan Qi was eating melon seeds in the palace when the palace people reported that her mother-in-law Shen had entered the palace.

The Shen family was born in a big family and is a first-class famous lady. Although Yan Qi has been neglected at home over the years, the Shen family has never been harsh on food and clothing. In all fairness, Shen is a very competent and generous mother-in-law.

It is said that the daughter who married out splashed the water, Yan Qi was very puzzled why the Shen family suddenly entered the palace. If you want to talk about the past, Yan Qi and her have nothing to talk about. If you want to say that she cares, although she is generous, she may not take Yan Qi in her eyes.

Zhan Jian pulled Yan Qi around in a big circle, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and finally saw Yan Qi looking stupid, Jian Jian couldn't help it, and took the initiative to ask Attack, after so many days, why don't you see joy?

Hearing his inquiry, Yan Qi's heart was cold, it seemed that it was time to urge him to have a child, but the appearance of this child was a benign amulet.

After Shen left, Yan Qi lay alone on the small couch by the window, looking at the wood hibiscus flowers outside in a daze, the kitten seemed to feel her safety, and she was sullen lying on her side obediently.

After the food came back, seeing Yan Qi's sullen appearance, he thought about it for a long time and came up with a way.

I saw him smile and say, "It's boring to stay in the palace all day, I'll take you to see something fun." As he spoke, he beckoned the palace maids to change Yan Qi's clothes.

Chaofeng Gate is the closest to the folk palace gate, standing on the three-story gatehouse, you can overlook the lights of the entire capital.

"Don't be upset, I'll send someone to show you the fireworks."

After a while, huge fireworks rose from the castle tower, and white flames exploded in the night sky. Many people came out of their homes, their heads held high, and from time to time they exclaimed.

When a nearby vendor heard the news, he actually sold melon seeds and snacks. The downstairs of the city was suddenly lively, like a festival.

A gust of night wind blew, and the flame vessel blown by the cold wind shrank for a moment, and fell into a warm embrace in the next second,

Benign shoulders are broad, although there is no wind and rain at this time, but Yan Qi suddenly has a feeling that he can shield himself from the wind and rain.

Thinking of the purpose of the afternoon review, I secretly prayed for Liang Xing in my heart.

Liang Xing. You must live a long life, I said softly in my heart.

6

After returning that night, Liang woke up and fell ill.

The doctor said he was too weak to blow the wind. Yan Qi felt very guilty when she heard this, presumably caused by taking her out to play that day.

Fortunately, now that Liang Xing can't go to court, Yan Qi's father is relieved and does not urge her to have a child.

In the spring and March, Liang Xing's illness was a little better, and he could go to the imperial garden for a walk.

While admiring the flowers, a sharp and high-pitched cry broke the peaceful spring day.

A man in a brown and red official robe suddenly rushed out, and was stopped by the guards nine feet away. He fell to his knees with a thud, wept profusely, and shouted, "Your Majesty! Yan Wu insulted the hundred officials in the court, beat Gu Taifu with a cane, please Your Majesty is the master for us! ”

Yan Qi doesn't know what happened. only knew that the result of the matter was that both sides took a step back, and her father left Mrs. Gu alive, and Mrs. Gu was forced to give her a shot.

At the same time, Yan Qi broke through the smoke of the big palace girl crane next to him and put *** in the incense burner.

She was hit by Yan Qi, but she didn't panic at all, but admitted confidently: "This is what Master Hou asked the slave to release." ”

Yan Qi realized that she was a dark pile, looked around, and looked at these palace maids and eunuchs who got along day and night, she suspected that they were all dark piles.

Yan Qi's father's decision, Yan Qi had no way to resist. After all, it was much easier for him to kill himself than to kill Gu Taifu, at least Yan Qi did not have the support of the world's scholars behind him.

Liang Xing came back, and in the past few days, he was busy fighting wits and courage with Yan Qi's father, worrying about how to maintain the support of Shilin in the world, and he seemed very tired.

The medicine Yanqi in the incense burner had already been taken away, and she would rather do these things herself than hurt Liang Xing with medicine.

The curtain hangs low, and the red silk tent is warm. Yan Qi knew that there were countless pairs of ears outside watching closely, and after hesitating, she reached out to untie Liang Xing's profane clothes, and raised her voice: "Your Majesty, let's have a child." Then he lowered his voice and said in his ear: "There are people watching outside, and we are pretending." ”

The dagger and the white silk swallow have been pressed under the pillow, pretending tonight, and cutting some blood tomorrow morning can make a difference.

Liang Xing seemed a little stunned, he looked at Yan Qi in a daze, then smiled lightly, turned over and overpowered her.

He asked Yan Qi: "Does the queen have a nickname?" ”

Yan Qi couldn't understand why he asked like this, and shook his head honestly.

He leaned over and lightly bit the tip of Yan Qi's ear, and the warm breath spat on the pinna of her ear, and Yan Qi felt a tingling sensation surging through his body.

He whispered in Yan Qi's ear: "Call you Jiaojiao in the future, okay?" ”

Yan Qi felt that the qi and blood in his whole body were surging to his face, and he rubbed for a long time before responding: "...... Good. ”

Early the next morning, Yan Qi called the fat chef and asked him secretly: "Is there any food to replenish the body?" ”

The fat chef said with a happy face: "Here are stewed lamb kidney dragon essence soup with cistanche, walnut pork kidney and tiger soup, a pillar of optimus pig liver soup, white fungus stewed horsewhip......"

"Stop, stop, stop......" Yan Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing to report, and said with a red face: "Look at the cooking." ”

"Gotcha!"

In the court, the contradiction between Yan Qi's father and Liang Xing is getting bigger and bigger.

There was chaos in Jiangdong Mansion, and Yan Qi's father wrote to lead the army to suppress the bandits. This is understandable, but he asked for an army of 500,000 in the letter.

When he heard Hexiang talk about it, Yan Qi almost laughed. Her father's 500,000 army to suppress bandits is fake, but the rebellion is real.

Liang Xing rejected Yan Qi's father's recital, and only allowed him to take 10,000 people with him. Yan Qi's father was not convinced, and he actually took off his crown.

So Hexiang informed Yu Yanqi of this matter and urged her to conceive a child as soon as possible. Her father refused to wait any longer.

What puzzled me was Liang Xing's attitude, although he had a dispute with his father in the court, he was gentle and considerate to Yan Qi whenever he came back.

Hexiang said: "Your Majesty has affection for Niangniang, isn't this if there is divine help, it will be convenient for the Hou Ye to succeed." ”

Yan Qi was noncommittal about this, always feeling that he was missing something.

On this day, Liang Xing returned from the court, and Yan Qi served him a bowl of chicken soup.

Seeing that he drank it without hesitation, Yan Qi opened his mouth and asked, "Isn't Your Majesty afraid of the concubines being poisoned?" ”

Liang Xing's movements paused, and the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground in panic.

"People are born to die, and I am willing to die in Jiaojiao's hands." Liang Xing smiled at Yan Qi.

Yan Qi felt that he trusted himself so much, but he really had the potential to be the king of the dead country.

The conflict between his father and Liang Xing intensified until the day of the beginning of winter, and I heard that he had reached out to other royal families and planned to change to a puppet.

But on the day of the beginning of winter, Yan Qi was taken out of the happy vein.

Liang Xing hugged Yan Qi excitedly, and said with a happy eyebrow: "Jiaojiao, we have a child!" ”

Yan Qi couldn't be happy, having a child meant that Liang Xing would die. It's a pity that she is surrounded by people planted by her father, and under their noses, Yan Qi can't give up this child.

Liang Xing said: "Recently, I have had a very unpleasant quarrel with my father-in-law, so it is better to call my father-in-law into the palace for a small gathering, and let him take a look at his grandson." ”

He was probably happy and stupid, and asking Yan Qi's father to enter the palace was tantamount to luring a wolf into the house. But the words have already been spoken, and those dark piles have also been heard, if Yan Qi stops it, it will definitely make his father angry.

Liang Xing, if you don't trust me so much.

Yan Qi stroked his lower abdomen, and his heart was extremely sour.

On the day Yan Qi's father entered the palace, it snowed a lot, and the snow covered the inside and outside of the imperial city.

Because of his scruples about Yan Qi's pregnancy, it was difficult to move in the heavy snow, and Liang Xing arranged a small banquet in the Xianqing Hall next to Kunning Palace.

"Wechen greets Your Majesty and Niangniang!" Yan Qi's father saluted, but stood up straight without waiting for Liang Xing to say flat.

He was a military general, tall and mighty, and just standing there, his momentum was extremely majestic.

Liang Xingyan smiled and let him sit down, as if he really didn't care about his rudeness and offense.

The musician next to him played, and the silk and bamboo were around his ears, which was really a bit of a happy look.

"I heard that my father-in-law loves wine, and a new batch of good wine has been brewed in the palace recently, so why don't my father-in-law have a drink with me at this good time." Liang Xing said with a smile.

A palace lady stepped forward with a wine and put it on the desk.

Yan Qi's father poured a glass, but only put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, but did not drink it, and commented with a smile: "It's good wine." ”

At this time, Yan Qi realized that this was a Hongmen banquet, and the child in her womb was just an excuse for this Hongmen banquet.

At this time, the father got up from his position and handed the glass of wine to Yan Qi, "When the second daughter got married, my father never gave you it, and now this glass of wine, my father will pour it to you personally." ”

Is it poisoned wine? Yan Qi looked at the clear wine in the cup, and his first reaction was not fear, but worry.

Worried that if Liang Xing really planned to poison her father today, then after Yan Qi drank it, he would not be able to live.

Yan Qi stretched out his hand to take the glass of wine, but was snatched away by the other hand.

Liang Xing said: "The queen is pregnant and can't drink, so I will accompany my father-in-law to drink this glass of wine." After saying that, he drank it all.

Yan Qi looked at him worriedly, for fear that he would vomit a mouthful of blood in the next moment.

Liang Xing glanced back at Yan Qi and quietly held her hand under the desk, which was a little more reassuring.

When the father saw that the wine was not poisonous, he laughed out loud, sat down in his place heroically, and began to drink. Maybe in his eyes, Liang Xing didn't have the courage to poison him after all.

After three rounds of drinking, there was a sudden sound of fireworks outside the hall. Liang Xing looked at me with a smile and explained to his father, "The queen likes this the most, so we might as well go out and watch it." ”

The father was already half drunk, and waved his hand with a blushing face.

Liang Xing said: "Yan Wu is drunk, help him down to rest." ”

Dai Li walked two steps to her father's side, only to see a flash of cold light, and her father shouted loudly and kicked Dai Li away.

Only then did Yan Qi see a dagger stuck in his father's abdomen, and bright red blood was gurgling out at this time.

"Bold erectors! How dare you calculate Benhou! Although Yan Qi's father was stabbed in the body, he was physically strong, so he pulled out the dagger and slashed at Liang Xing with a wave.

Dai Li rushed over and hugged his feet. Yan Qi's father turned around and stabbed him several times in the back.

Liang Xing picked up a large porcelain vase and smashed it on Yan Qi's father's head.

Fireworks outside one after another, covering up the sound of bloody fighting here.

I saw the dagger in my father's hand stabbing at Liang Xing, and subconsciously, she rushed over to block the knife.

"Jiaojiao!"

Yan Qi heard Liang Xing shouting.

When Yan Qi woke up, it seemed that things had come to an end.

On that night when many people fell asleep, Liang Xing accomplished something that would make him remember in the annals of history. He killed her father that night, and sent secret guards to assassinate several of her brothers overnight.

On the second day, when they went to court, the officials saw no longer the sick and pale puppet emperor, but the real emperor who was reborn in blood.

The harem was reorganized, and all the hidden stakes that her father had planted were pulled out. Among them, Kunning Palace was the most serious, and half of the palace people were taken away.

It had been several days since Liang had awakened, so he was a little unsure what he would do. The stab that night left a shallow scar on her lower abdomen.

On the first day of Yan Qi's awakening, he anxiously asked the doctor: Is there anything wrong with the child?

The imperial doctor honestly told Yan Qi that she had never been pregnant, and it was all arranged by Liang Xing in order to relax her father's vigilance.

Yan Qi couldn't say whether she was happy or disappointed, she was happy that she didn't lose a child, and she was disappointed that Liang Xing was also using her.

Later, the palace people told Yan Qi that Liang Xing posthumously crowned a person surnamed Dai as the king of Zhongyong.

King Zhongyong is Dai Li, he was Liang Xing's guard, protecting his safety in the Taoist temple. Perhaps on the day he ascended the throne as emperor, Liang Xing began to plan how to deal with my father, so he brought Dai Li into the palace.

It's a pity that Dai Li didn't see his current success, and he was stabbed more than a dozen times that night and died on the spot.

After many days, Liang Xing finally came to see me. At this time, he swept away his previous sickness, but showed full spirit. Yan Qi realized that he was so sick, and he was also pretending to be seen by others.

In the past, Yan Qi always had a lot of words, but Liang Xing listened silently. At this time he sat in front of him, facing each other, and no one would speak. Obviously, I haven't seen it for a while, but it seems to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.

The sun shone on his face through the window lattice, and Yan Qi noticed a small pimple on his forehead, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

The courtiers repeatedly asked him to execute the daughter of this rebel, and he must have been in a hurry for the past few days, so he must not be having a good time.

Liang Xing was always soft-hearted towards Yan Qi, and until this time, he comforted, "Everything is mine, don't be afraid." ”

Yan Qi leaned on him, watched the smoke and dust in the sun flying, and stretched out his hand to pick it up, but he didn't receive anything.

Yan Qi knew that he couldn't save himself this time, but I was very happy to have his words, at least he was not wrong.

When Yan Qi's father was alive, he killed too many people and offended too many people. Now that he is dead, as his daughter, how can the ministers of the family let her go.

Even if Liang Xing was willing to fight against them for her, Yan Qi didn't want him to chill the hearts of his loyal ministers because of himself. The coffin of King Zhongyong has not yet been buried, and Yan Qi has to die.

Yan Qi stumbled in this life, afraid of this and that, and it was expected that he ended up like this.

Li Yuanxiu must have been extremely tired these days, and he slept very deeply in bed. Yan Qi traced his appearance in his mind for the last time, and then took out the poison hidden under the mattress.

According to Yan Qi's original idea, he wanted to die quietly, like autumn leaves falling. When Liang wakes up tomorrow, if she has the heart, she will leave a whole corpse, if she has no heart, then forget it.

But Yan Qi never expected that this poison would enter his throat, and his abdomen would be cramping. Her whole body convulsed in pain, and her throat was fishy, and she spat out large mouthfuls of blood.

Liang Xing was woken up by Yan Qi's movements, and anxiously called the imperial doctor in a panic, asking her why she was stupid.

At this time, Yan Qi had no way to answer him, there were only large chunks of red in his blurred vision, and he really regretted that the last side left for him was so embarrassed.

Yan Qi's last words are that if there is a next time, he will never choose poison.

The five drums sounded, and the queen snorted.

In March of the fifth year of Mintai, some courtiers played the opening of the harem, selected the show girl, extended the emperor's heir, and the emperor agreed.

In July, the draft girls from all over the country were sent to the palace for selection.

In the Jiaotai Palace, the young and handsome emperor sat alone on the dragon chair, his eyes were closed, and he lowered his hand and touched a fat cat on his lap.

The show girls below were shy and timid, waiting for the emperor's mercy delicately.

However, the emperor didn't even raise his head, which was not true.

Seeing this, the eunuch on the side stretched out his voice, "Give flowers, withdraw!" ”

This group of show girls had to leave in frustration and replaced the next group of show girls.

The cat on her lap suddenly meowed, jumped to the ground, circled around a tender green skirt, and barked with joy.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked over, his eyes were full of smiles, and his voice was low and gentle, "What's your name?" ”

The show girl was also strange, and replied with a smile on her face: "The people's girl Yanqi." ”

"Jiaojiao." The emperor read her name in a delicate manner, as if with infinite affection.

In the years when Yan Qi favored the harem alone, some palace people chewed the root of their tongues and always said that she was very similar to the former queen. The emperor was fond of her, but he used her as a stand-in.

Yan Qi was not annoyed, just hugged the cat and looked at the brilliant spring flowers in the courtyard, and smiled shallowly.
