Chapter Seventy-Four: I've Become a Wicked Man! (5/10)
Full moon night.
The north wind was howling, and in the warm pavilion of Fengyi Palace, Queen Meng drank a cup of three-flower beauty tea, and couldn't help but think of Yue's who left the palace due to a vicious illness in the autumn of last year.
"Pure Shuyuan-is it true that she has never recovered from her illness so far?" The queen has long had doubts about this, if she is really still sick, how can she have the leisure to develop Bazhen cake that regulates the spleen and stomach, red bean barley tea that removes moisture, and this Sanhua tea that nourishes beauty and regulates menstruation. Especially this flower tea, Empress Meng drank it for several months and felt very good.
Chun Shuyuan was far away in the Huangzhuang to avoid illness, but she hadn't forgotten the palace, she was so hearted, and the queen couldn't help but feel a little pity.
"Just assume she's still sick." Emperor Yan Zheng said.
Empress Meng heard the voice in the words, "It's the end of the year, the sky is getting colder and colder, the concubine should not live outside the palace for a long time, the emperor should take Chun Shuyuan back to the palace to recuperate."
Hearing this, Yan Zheng was irritable in his heart, the queen was not the first person to intercede for Wangshu, Concubine Xiang and Concubine Rong had also knocked on Wangshu's condition earlier, and the words were almost the same!
Each of you is more virtuous than the other, but I have become a wicked person!
"She won't come back!" Yan Zheng said coldly, she only had that dead man in her heart! Where are you willing to go back to the palace?
The queen felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, "But what's wrong with Chun Shuyuan's condition?"
Yan Zheng was even more annoyed in his heart, and said coldly: "The queen doesn't need to say more!"
Seeing that the emperor was displeased, the queen had to temporarily extinguish this thought, and said in her heart, this pure Shuyuan is afraid that she will not be blessed.
The queen had to sigh, "The emperor doesn't want to say much, and the concubines don't ask." ——But I couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in my heart, in the past, whether it was the previous dynasty or the harem, the emperor would not hide anything from her, but now ...... The emperor is becoming more and more reluctant to talk to her.
So, she turned to say, "The noble concubine has been unwell recently, and the emperor often goes to take a look."
Yan Zheng rubbed his eyebrows, "Auntie is getting more and more verbose."
The queen smiled, "Her old man only cares about the emperor's heirs." - The noble concubine has no less advice in her ears, but ...... It's not that she, the queen, is not virtuous, but the emperor's temperament is getting colder and colder. Although on the surface, the emperor is generous and benevolent, Kelan Guifei and Fang Jieyu have not faced the saint for several months, let alone slept in bed.
The queen said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Concubine Lan's mind has changed, and the emperor should not be too cold to her."
Hearing this, Yan Zheng couldn't help but show a little ridicule: "I thought she wanted to become a monk!"
Empress Meng couldn't help frowning, and the emperor's words were also a little mean—and at the same time, she couldn't help but think that the emperor hadn't been so bitter before.
"Concubine Lan just figured it out, as a woman, she still hopes to have a son and a half daughter." The queen thought of the pain of Concubine Lan's loss in the past, and couldn't help but feel a little empathy, so she softly comforted: "If the emperor is free, he might as well go to the Weirui Hall to sit."
Yan Zheng did not agree or refuse, but said, "I know."
As he spoke, Yan Zheng suddenly asked, "Does the queen also hope to have a son and a half daughter?"
The queen showed a puzzled look: "The concubine already has Zhen'er under her knees."
Yan Zheng was silent for a moment and said, "I'm talking about my own flesh and blood." - Cheng Zhen is indeed too mediocre, Ying Hui is like a queen, and she can't teach him to become a talent.
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the queen's face disappeared in an instant, and her voice was faint and low, almost inaudible: "Concubine...... It's long gone."
The queen closed her eyes, and tears of pain slid down from the corners of her eyes, "The concubines lost their children, all because of their deep sins, and now they only hope that their children will enter reincarnation as soon as possible and join a family of goodness."
Thinking of what happened back then, Yan Zheng said, "You had a miscarriage back then, just because you were too worried when you were young and frightened. What's more, even if what happened back then was a sin, it was also my sin, so what does it have to do with you?"
The queen shook her head, and only wept to herself.
Yan Zheng rubbed his aching eyebrows, and he knew that when he mentioned it, Meng Shi was like this. The matter of seizing the heir, there is no room for half distraction, and I can't be a fish and meat by people! Because Meng Shi Yinghui is outstanding, many things back then were called her
participated in the planning and listened to a lot of her advice.
At that time, the Meng family was indeed worthy of a "female middle Zhuge ".
It's a pity that later......
Yan Zheng didn't believe in karma, but after Meng lost his son, he was convinced.
"Didn't you always advise the Shen family not to dwell on the past?" Yan Zheng had to be patient and relieved, "Huixin, let the past pass."
Queen Meng, a single name and a Ying, with a small character and a heart.
Empress Meng muttered, "It's different, Concubine Lan's hands are clean, and I ......" She raised her hands, and always felt that her palms were sticky, as if they were stained with blood.
"I will never forget that Princess Chu was pregnant with Liujia and died on the hanging beam." Empress Meng's hands trembled faintly, the king of Chu conspired to reflexively die, although the first emperor issued a decree to pardon his wife and concubines, but the princess still couldn't think of it, and a white silk went to death.
"Say no more!" Yan Zheng couldn't help but be a little angry, Prince Minhuai, King Zhou, King Chu, no one was clean, not to mention the matter of seizing the heir, how could it not involve the family? Fortunately, the king of Chu was just rebellious back then, and he had already tried his best to intercede for him, but the princess of Chu couldn't think of it herself, so who was to blame?
Empress Meng bit her pale lip, she stroked the cold tears on her cold face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The concubine is no longer worthy of her own flesh and blood, but Concubine Lan is pure in nature, Fang Jieyu is not bad in temperament, and they are all suitable ages for pregnancy. Your Majesty might as well think about it."
Yan Zheng couldn't help but be even more irritable in his heart, "Since you don't want to, I won't be reluctant. It's getting dark today, so let's rest early."
After that, Emperor Yan Zheng walked away directly.
The queen saw it in her eyes and did not dissuade it.
The cold night was quiet, in the main hall of Yufu Palace, Concubine Rong looked at the three princesses who were already asleep, and couldn't help but soften her heart.
But at this time, there was a report from below, "Someone has seen ...... The emperor left Fengyi Palace overnight."
Concubine Rong couldn't help but be stunned: "What?"
Tonight is the fifteenth, no matter how busy the emperor was, he would never forget the fifteenth night with the queen.
"What's going on?" With the gentle and gentle temperament of the queen, she should not make the emperor unhappy.
Concubine Rong pressed down her anxiety and thought to herself, "Maybe there is something urgent in the previous dynasty."
I couldn't help but think, and I didn't know if the queen had anything to do with the emperor about purifying Shuyuan......
At this time, the third princess on the incense couch "babbled", Concubine Rong immediately didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly went up and patted gently, humming a nursery rhyme in her mouth, and the third princess fell asleep soundly.
