Chapter 65: The Great and Silent Mother's Love
There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, not that the emperor really has 3,000 concubines, so how big a place does it have to be for these people to live, at least several times on the basis of the current palace.
The main thing is that a concubine will be chosen every few years, a new generation will replace the old, and there will never be a shortage of young girls in the world. There are hundreds of concubines in the harem, and it can be said that there is no woman who has really walked into the emperor's heart.
The women and emperors of the harem love them, but if you want to say which one you love, those don't love them, the queen is too, the favorite concubine is too, and the queen mother is too, for the emperor, women are just the spices of life and the tools for giving birth to dragon seeds.
The emperor's favorite is himself, and the dragon chair that represents the supremacy.
star screen, makeup mirror also; The green clouds are disturbed, and the comb is also small; Weiliu is greasy, and fat water is also discarded; The smoke is slanting and the fog is horizontal, and the pepper orchid is also burned. The thunder was shocked, and the palace car passed by; I listened to it from afar, but I didn't know what it was. One muscle and one appearance, extremely beautiful, standing far-sighted, and looking at luck; There is no one who does not see, thirty-six years.
The ancient exchanges are nothing more than this, and they are also like this in all eras. There are so many concubines in the harem, and it will take several years for one person to be pampered once, not to mention those old and decrepit concubines.
"Silly boy, after you get married to Liu Hanyan after you divide the mansion, you will leave the palace" Yun Qing Niangniang looked at Yun Xuan, her eyes were full of tenderness.
In the past, when Yun Xuan was still in the palace, although he was stupid, Yun Qing Niangniang could still see it. But when Yun Xuan divides the mansion, it is not easy to see Yun Xuan again, if there is no edict, you are not allowed to enter the palace, let alone the harem?
Yun Xuan was silent, although he was very unwilling in his heart, Yun Xuan had no choice.
The rules in the palace were all set by the ancestors, and they were not allowed to be provoked, even the father. You can secretly violate the ancestral system, but on the surface, you will definitely not, otherwise those officials will definitely have a lot of words to say.
"Queen Mother, there will be a day when the child will stand at the top of this world, no one, no rule can stop the child" Some people believe because they see, some people see because they believe, if you say before, Yun Xuan may consider eating and waiting for death, and live a free life.
But now, Yun Xuan has too many worries and too many unwillingness in his heart, and only by fighting for the supreme position can Yun Xuan live according to his own ideas.
Especially offended the prince, Yun Xuan does not regret it, but it does not mean that Yun Xuan is really not afraid of the prince.
If the prince is really ruthless and finds a few powerful killers to assassinate him, in this harem, no one can save himself except his father.
And the father will not blame the prince for a worthless dead person, so that the prince has an unforgivable stain. This is not good for the crown prince, the father, the royal family, or even the entire society.
This is also why Yun Xuan wants the prince to apologize, there is no deep punishment for the prince, because Yun Xuan's value is not equal to the value of the prince.
If this matter were to be replaced by the King of the South or the King of Jin, I am afraid that the crown prince would have to be grounded for several months, and he would have to pay a sum of money to calm their anger.
"Xuan'er, don't have such thoughts, the queen mother hopes that you are safe" Yun Qing Niangniang frowned, her expression was rare and solemn, that position is not so easy to do, not to mention that Yun Xuan is not even a king of Ping now.
This process is full of countless difficulties and obstacles, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death, and even Yun Qing Niangniang is not qualified to shelter Yun Xuan.
"Queen mother, rest assured, that's what the child said, what is a child is a child after all, and it is useless to force it if it is not a child" Yun Xuan didn't want the queen mother to worry too much, so he didn't continue to talk about this topic, but it didn't mean that Yun Xuan really dispelled this idea.
As a mother, the picture is never about how much interest your child can have in the future, whether she can stand up to the sky, or whether she hopes that her child can be healthy and safe.
"Queen mother, go back to the house, the child is hungry" Yun Xuan helped the queen mother, it was windy outside, although the queen mother was wearing a coat, Yun Xuan was still not at ease, and the cool breeze was pervasive.
"Okay, go prepare a meal," Yun Qing Niangniang said with a smile.
"Didn't you say that? The queen mother's diet needs to be light, why is there such greasy food" Yun Xuan sat with the queen mother and chatted for a while, and when the meal was almost done, Yun Xuan helped the queen mother to sit on the main seat.
Originally, Yun Xuan was in a very happy mood, but after seeing the dishes on this table, Yun Xuan's face became a little unhappy.
The queen mother's body is in the stage of recovery, and the body can't bear such greasy meat at all, which will aggravate the mother's injury.
"Your Highness is angry, Your Highness is angry" The maid heard Yun Xuan's angry look, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to admit her mistake.
"Xuan'er, don't blame them, it was the queen mother who ordered it" Seeing Yun Xuan's angry appearance, Yun Qing Niangniang explained that she could eat some light, but when Yun Xuan was still growing her body, she had to eat more meat.
"Take it down, within three days, there must be no such greasy food in the queen mother's meal" Yun Xuan asked the maid to bring these greasy dishes down, leaving only some food suitable for the queen mother.
To be honest, Yun Xuan likes to eat meat very much, maybe he ate too little in his previous life, or maybe he has an empty stomach, but Yun Xuan can't accept that he eats meat, and the queen mother drinks porridge, no matter what the reason, Yun Xuan is uneasy.
Yun Qing Niangniang couldn't resist Yun Xuan, so she followed Yun Xuan, after all, Yun Xuan was already so big, if you wanted to eat meat, just tell your subordinates.
After eating lunch simply, Yun Xuan and Yun Qing Niangniang had a simple chat about some common things, most of which were about Liu Hanyan.
Yun Xuan could feel that the queen mother attached great importance to this marriage, perhaps in the queen mother's heart, she was too weak and needed a strong backer, otherwise she would be bullied in all kinds if she left the palace.
"Let Mama Zhang go to the courtyard and wait for me" Seeing the tired expression of the queen mother, Yun Xuan did not continue to disturb the queen mother, simply ordered the maid a few words, and left directly.
"Your Highness, you are looking for me" Mama Zhang looked at Yun Xuan's back, as if she saw a tall mountain, giving people the feeling that the sky could withstand it when it fell.
"Why is the queen mother's body so weak, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be" Yun Xuan was puzzled by the fact that the queen mother suddenly fainted this time, although the queen mother didn't have to work, but the food and clothing were also excellent for ordinary people, why was her physical fitness so poor.
Yun Xuan didn't know what kind of bullying the queen mother had received from Concubine Qing, but one day it was certain that Concubine Qing would never do it, and the harem had harem rules.
Even if he threatens the queen mother with himself and forces the queen mother to kneel, according to the time, it will only be a few hours, and she will definitely not faint.
Kneeling for a long time can lead to calf paralysis, knee pain, and even poor blood flow, but to make the queen mother so sick, unless the queen mother's body is already very weak.
But Yun Xuan just didn't know the reason for the mother's weakness, in Yun Xuan's memory, there was no memory of the queen mother's serious illness, which was also the reason why Yun Xuan came to Mama Zhang.
"Look at my eyes, I don't like to deceive, make me angry, the queen mother can't protect you" Yun Xuan saw Mama Zhang's nervous expression and dodging eyes, and knew that the queen mother fainted this time was not so simple.
"Your Highness, the old slave doesn't dare, it's just that Niangniang has an explanation, and she can't tell Her Highness" Seeing Yun Xuan's chilling eyes, Mama Zhang was so frightened that she knelt down and said with tears in her eyes.
"The queen mother wants you to die, I can still help you intercede, if I want you to die, you will never see the sun tomorrow" Hearing Mama Zhang's words, Yun Xuan's heart became more and more uneasy, the queen mother's physical weakness should have something to do with herself.
"Your Highness, I"
"Say, I don't want to hear a word of nonsense" Yun Xuan directly interrupted Mama Zhang's complaints, Yun Xuan can spoil Ah Huan and treat others forgivingly, it does not mean that Yun Xuan is a soft-hearted person.
"Your Royal Highness, this matter has to start when Niangniang was pregnant, at that time, Niangniang was already eight months pregnant, and it is said that Niangniang should be waiting to give birth in Changxing Palace. But just in time for the Queen Mother's birthday, the mother had to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye. ”
"But I didn't expect to meet the queen mother halfway, at that time the prince died early, and the queen mother hated all the pregnant concubines in the harem, so the queen mother deliberately embarrassed the mother, and the mother accidentally fell while walking and caused premature birth, His Royal Highness will be stupid for so many years."
"Niangniang fell ill because of premature birth, and she recuperated for many years, and her body slowly recovered, but as Her Royal Highness got older and older, Niangniang was not worried about the life of His Royal Highness's branch, so she deliberately went to the Yangxin Palace to kneel down and beg the emperor to delay the time of His Highness's branch."
"This kneeling is a day and a night, it rained heavily that night, Niangniang almost froze to death, fortunately, the emperor took pity on Niangniang, so he agreed to let His Royal Highness divide the house a year later, but Niangniang fell ill after returning to the palace, and since then, Niangniang's body has become more and more weak, and she has not recuperated until now."
Mama Zhang cried and said, her eyes were full of tears, recalling the humiliation suffered by her mother in those years, Mama Zhang's heart was even more grief-stricken, but Mama Zhang couldn't do anything, she could only hide these grievances in her heart.
But now it's different, Yun Xuan has returned to normal, and sometimes he is unusually domineering, and the invisible aura emanating from his body makes Mama Zhang have a kind of heart palpitation.
"Get up, I've been sorry for you all these years, since I'm back to normal, then I will definitely not let the queen mother be hurt again, you go down first" Yun Xuan's face was calm, and he couldn't see the joy, anger and sorrow, but those who were familiar with Yun Xuan knew that this was the calm before the storm.
Anger is to the extreme, that is calm, Yun Xuan's mind kept recalling what Mama Zhang said just now, and his heart was like a knife.
Until now, Yun Xuan didn't know how much the queen mother had paid for herself, and Yun Xuan had always been curious about why King Jin was a little younger than himself, but why he had already been crowned a prince.
And he is a fourth prince, older than him, still staying in the palace, waiting for the arrival of the branch, so it is.
The cold light flashed, Yun Xuan didn't believe that the fall of the queen mother was an accident, as a mother, how could an accident happen with that kind of meticulous care for the child?
And it is still in the palace, and the queen mother will definitely be more careful. The father has so many women, and the emperor does not need contraception, it stands to reason that the father has thirteen children is too few, and there must be an unknown conspiracy in this.
The early death of the first prince caused the queen's heart to change greatly, and she was narrow-minded, and it is estimated that those concubines in the harem may not have such good luck as the queen mother, and they can still give birth to the child in the womb.
Yun Xuan wasn't sure if all this had anything to do with the queen, but a woman who had lost her mind could do anything.
Yun Xuan stood motionless, quietly looking into the distance, and after a long time, Yun Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had made a major decision.
Yun Xuan didn't disturb the queen mother, and left Changxing Palace directly and returned to where he lived.
Ah Huan followed behind Yun Xuan, Ah Huan could feel that Yun Xuan's mood was not very good, Ah Huan did not speak, but followed behind Yun Xuan silently.
