1. Emperor and Empress

The ninth day of June is a good day.

Emperor Chu Ye, the emperor of Tiande, died with hatred and swallowed his last breath in the Chaolu Palace.

He was devoured by Sheng Kun to the point that only half of his remnant soul floated out of his body.

The strong unwillingness prompted him to wander around, wanting to hear what people were talking about his political achievements and sudden death in private.

The people said: "He is a good emperor, at least he didn't fight, he didn't build a palace, he didn't build a tomb." ”

Is it that he doesn't want to fix it?

He didn't expect to die young.

The courtiers said: "Scatter the dynasty on time, rest more, have few things, don't change the order, don't toss people, make do, no merit and no fault." ”

Heh, you are not uncommon for me to go to the top, do you believe it or not if you change the couple to death?

The palace concubines said: "I am old, I don't like to take a bath, I do everything fast, I even die fast, and I feel that I am very powerful, which is really amazing." ”

…… Don't I want to lose face?

Chu Ye was fluttering, and he heard a lot, and people's comments on Shen Lingxi:

"When the lives of hundreds of officials were in danger, Empress Shen'an stepped forward and sacrificed her natal magic weapon to collect the evil of killing the emperor in her palm, and rescued the first emperor, and the hundred officials also escaped. Empress Shen'an is the life-saving benefactor of civil and military officials, and she has another parent! ”

"The evil spirit possessed the body of the first emperor and called Empress Shen'an 'Yunxi', which is the name of the late saint of Yunguo. Legend has it that the holy daughter of Yunguo is a god-given bloodline, blessed by the gods, and has a spiritual jade body, which is really an extraordinary person. ”

"If Empress Shen'an is really the reincarnation of the Holy Maiden of Yunguo, then I will be blessed by the gods after Sunday, which is really the blessing of the society and the blessing of the people!"

"You didn't see those old stubborns who didn't allow women to be officials before and scolded 'Ji Si Chen' angrily, and they didn't speak anymore this time. If they oppose the savior, they are ungrateful, who would dare. ”

"Empress Shen'an also said that she would choose female officials, and in the future, Da Zhou will produce female generals like the previous dynasty, and there will be female champions...... Our big week is becoming more and more enlightened. ”

Chu Ye pursed his lips.

I think that at the beginning, when Chu Yan was in front of Shen Lingxi and asked for an official and a half-position, he didn't stop him, wasn't he enlightened?

When they got married, he was also really happy for Chu Yan.

In this life, it is inevitable that there will be times when people make mistakes.

He was just confused.

Chu Ye thought of this, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"

Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a pleasant silver bell.

Chu Ye was attracted by this ringtone, and couldn't help but float in the direction of the bell.

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"

Chu Ye returned to the palace.

The Kunning Palace in the night was lit up as usual, but the owner of this palace had changed.

Chu Ye saw the one under the corridor, with a silver lotus crown and a spirit flag.

Shen Lingxi was standing under the marquee, and next to her, there was a soul that was almost invisible, as broken as him.

Chu Ye took a closer look, only to find that the soul was not someone else, but the queen who had disappeared for a long time.

"Hui Rong ......" Chu Ye looked at his queen, with a mottled appearance of her soul body, and called out softly.

The queen turned around, and her gentle and graceful countenance no longer needed to hide the hatred in her eyes at this moment.

"Chu Ye, you are finally dead, you died well." In her hoarse voice, there was a joy of revenge, "It's not in vain that I am willing to make this deal with Sheng Kun." ”

"What?" Chu Ye was taken aback, "What deal?" You ......"

"I agreed to let Sheng Kun get on me." The queen looked at him calmly, "That day he hid in the jade pendant and entered my dreams. He gave me two options. ”

"Either he kills me and gets on me. Either I will make a pact with him and feed him with my soul and let him control my body. Anyway, it's all a death, and I chose the latter. That's why I was able to see what happened to you. ”

Chu Ye's face was full of disbelief, "Huirong, why is this?" For so many years, even if you can no longer have children due to miscarriage, I have never treated you lightly, am I not good to you? ”

The queen seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, she half-covered her lips, laughed out loud, and laughed until tears flowed down her eyes.

"Have you forgotten our unborn son? He was only four months old in my womb, his hands and feet were all grown, and he was a male fetus, but he died at the hands of the who climbed on the bed. Do you remember what you said and how you did it? The queen asked hatefully.

Chu Ye was stunned for a few moments, and it took a while to remember.

"You're talking about the Xu family?"

In his life, there were so many women that he couldn't even remember who was who.

"Didn't she die a few years earlier?" Chu Ye frowned, "It's true that she accidentally caused your miscarriage, I have already punished her, didn't she also fall ill and die later?" Why do you blame me for her faults? ”

The queen already knew that no matter how much a person like Chu Ye reasoned with him, it would be in vain.

She stated in a very calm tone, "You fell in love with the Xu family at first sight, accepted her as a concubine, and after she entered the palace, you doted on her very much, and told her that if she could give birth to a son and a half daughter for you before me, she would be promoted to a concubine." It was you who fueled her ambition and made her count the flesh and blood in my womb as soon as she became pregnant. ”

"I was accidentally pushed down by her and had a miscarriage, and I was very angry and asked her to settle accounts, but you did everything you could to protect her, on the surface forbidden her feet, but in fact you sent guards to protect her to the bottom of the water, and said to me, 'You are the concubine, and the children in this house will be your children in the future, don't do those things that lose your identity......"

Chu Ye looked innocent, "Yes, is what I said wrong?" ”

The queen looked him in the eye and smiled, "Yes, you're right. Do you know why Xu's eight-month-old fetus was not born? ”

Only then did Chu Ye realize something, and his face changed suddenly.

"You did it?"

"That's right, it's me." The queen said lightly: "Since the children of the palace are all my children, then I, as a mother, naturally have the right to decide which child can stay and which child can't." ”

Chu Ye's face turned pale, and he suddenly floated in front of her, glaring angrily, "You poisonous woman!" Hiding so deeply, I really underestimated you! ”

"Is this a poison in your eyes?"

The queen covered her lips and chuckled, "Da Lang was born because the Qi family was ruthless by nature and proficient in pharmacology. Hachiro was born because Wen was obedient and has no ambitions, and you don't look down on her very much. Jiulang was born because Concubine Lian felt disgusting from the bottom of her heart. As for Juro...... The Zhao family is stupid enough, and the Zhao family is also stupid, the more stupid people around you, the faster you will die. ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Chu Ye with a smile, "Except for them, no one you like will survive." Whatever you want, you can't give birth to a single child, are you satisfied with such a result? ”

Chu Ye was extremely angry, and his hands pointing at her were trembling.

The queen stroked the handkerchief in her hand, "Do you know why I like embroidery in the past few years?" Concubine Qi is really a good knife, borrowing embroidery to kill people, it is really a wonderful idea, every time I take a needle and thread to embroider something, I think of what she does, I feel very good. ”

"You know what she does?" The Emperor asked incredulously.

The queen looked at him with a smile, "I am the master of the harem, if I don't turn a blind eye and secretly connive, the Qi family is just a princess of a dead country, with no power and no power, how dare I take this risk?" With just Li Xiangyang's idiot, how can he do it so well? ”

She learned from the innocent appearance of the emperor and spread her hands, "I'm just, like you connived at the Xu clan back then, conniving at the Qi clan, isn't this all learned from you?" ”

"Poisonous woman! Slut! I'm going to kill you! The emperor's eyes were torn apart, and he threw himself at the queen with a hideous face.

But now the two of them are just dead souls, and even if Chu Ye is extremely angry, he can't help the queen.

When he realized this, he suddenly looked at Shen Lingxi and ordered, "Shen, you come to teach her a lesson for me!" ”

Shen Lingxi glanced at him mockingly, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and turned his eyes to look at the queen, "I have summoned him, now can you tell me how to make this dark jade speed up the refining of Sheng Kun's soul?" ”

The queen used her soul to support Sheng Kun, and she made a contract with Sheng Kun to share a body, so she has always been a living person, and even Liu Meiren and Shen Lingxi could not easily see that she was taken by Sheng Kun.

She naturally knows all Sheng Kun's secrets.

"Enshrine the dark jade under the seat of the Sanqing Venerable of the Qing Palace on Taiyi Mountain, and in just three days, Sheng Kun's soul can be completely refined."

After speaking, the queen bowed to Shen Lingxi's blessed body, thanked her, turned into a little starlight, and disappeared into the moonlight.

Chu Ye was left alone, looking at the direction in which she disappeared, and there was nowhere to vent her resentment, let alone to tell......

Shen Lingxi glanced at him indifferently, blew out the candle flame of the reincarnation lamp, and strode towards the outside of Kunning Palace.

She knew that this dog emperor would not understand until he died, and everything was his own fault.

Second, the moon concubine

My surname is Li, and my name is Yuejiao.

When I was young, my mother often called me Jiaojiao.

A-Niang was originally a runner in the rivers and lakes, and because of her beauty, she was favored by the Marquis of Yiyang, and spent ten taels of silver to buy it back to the house and made the lowest concubine.

At the beginning, Yiyang Hou may have really liked A-Niang, making her the best clothes and wearing expensive jewelry. He said that A-Niang has a kind of "natural carving" coquettishness and innocence, and A-Niang is also infatuated with Yiyanghou, desperate, and suffers from gains and losses.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and after A-Niang gave birth to me, she fell out of favor within two years.

In the days when Baba waited for the arrival of the Marquis of Yiyang, the courtyard where she lived moved farther and farther, and the expensive clothes and jewelry were also exchanged for silver coins to deal with those noble servants who could speak in front of the Marquis of Yiyang and his wife.

However, all efforts could not save the heart of a man who had lost interest in her.

When I was ten years old, A-Niang had fallen out of favor for a long time.

She lived in the most remote courtyard in the house, and in winter, even burning some charcoal was a luxury, and her hands, feet, and face were covered with chilblains, except for the deductions, the few moonsilver left on her body every month, except for what was used on me, she took it all to those noble servants in exchange for the news of the Marquis of Yiyang, in the hope of getting the opportunity to resurrect with the Marquis of Yiyang.

When she couldn't even eat enough, the naïve A-Niang was still thinking about how to save Yiyanghou's heart. is still obsessed with thinking that Yiyanghou may be able to remember one day that she is a delicate person who "naturally decorates".

Later, she became seriously ill and was frozen to death on the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The Marquis of Yiyang's Mansion is so rich that it can let an unfavored concubine freeze to death, and no one will believe it.

I knelt in front of her corpse, crying profusely, and warned myself in my heart that I would never live like a mother for any man in my life.

After my mother died, I was taken to the yard of the eldest lady to be raised.

Compared with the small courtyard where the people froze to death, the eldest lady was well fed and warmly dressed in the courtyard.

Except for when the eldest lady is unhappy, she will make a few of us concubines angry, and life can barely get by.

It's just that when the eldest lady is angry, there are many more times than when she is happy.

Because Yiyang Hou often brings women back, all kinds of women, natural, coquettish, innocent, charming, and gentle, his life's literary brilliance is reflected in the description of many women who are not the same.

In my impression, there is another person who is as "brilliant as him", that is Emperor Tiande-Chu Ye.

When I first met Chu Ye, I was eleven years old, and he was not an emperor at that time, just a suave idle prince.

Every time he came to the Yiyang Marquis Mansion, the eldest lady would ask us concubines to dress up carefully, wear the best clothes, wear the most beautiful jewelry, and then stand in a row to greet him.

This is an unwritten rule handed down by the ancestors of the Marquis of Yiyang.

The daughter of the Li family, born for the family and died for the family.

"I'd rather be a concubine than a commoner's wife." It is a family motto written by the Li family specifically for the daughter of the Li family.

Chu Ye saw me at a glance.

He asked me, "What's your name?"

"The little girl's name is Yuejiao." I bowed my head and replied.

"A period of moon in the east window, a good name." He dragged a verse.

It's comparable to my father's "delicate flowers under the moon, which is lovely." "It's a lot more meaningful.

It's just that these two sentences are essentially the same.

Just like Yiyang Hou and Chu Ye, they are essentially self-proclaimed amorous and amorous embryos.

Because of Chu Ye's poem, my treatment in the house has been much better, at least I will no longer be beaten.

One more errand-

Every time he came to the house, I was in charge of making wine and tea on the side.

Although the Marquis of Yiyang and his wife, in order to be able to climb to Chuye, they had dirty thoughts in their hearts.

Fortunately, the first emperor and the queen mother are decent people, and the family rules and family motto of the Chu family have a bottom line.

Chu Ye only treats me as a junior.

Although, at the beginning, I was afraid that he would have no bottom line, and he would look at me hungry, and deliberately took advantage of people's unpreparedness, painted crooked eyebrows, and deliberately pretended to be ugly, which made him laugh.

And that's precisely because of this-

Many years later, in order not to have to go back to the Yiyang Marquis Mansion to be tortured by the eldest lady, in order to make him look down on me and climb onto his dragon bed as he wished, I drew my eyebrows again and deliberately pretended to be ugly, which successfully attracted his attention.

I think that I have the blood of the Li family in my body, and I still have a bit of the Li family's "style and bones" in my bones.

"I'd rather be a concubine than a commoner's wife." I deeply believe this family motto.

It's just that this "Heavenly Family" must be the most powerful Ninety-Five Venerable.

With such a good look and such a father and mother-in-law, instead of being arranged by them to marry an old and decrepit prince and nobleman as a concubine, it is better to marry Chu Ye, the emperor, in order to have a chance to live.

I read a sentence in my notebook, which inspired me more than the family motto of the Li family-

There is no man in his heart, and he draws his sword and is a natural god.

As it turned out, I did.

I borrowed many years ago, when Chu Ye was the king of Huan, I had a few encounters with him.

In front of him, dress up as a weak and harmless silk flower, and his favorite is this tune.

And in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen and the Crown Princess, I unabashedly dissected myself to show them.

I'm not a smart person, but I'm honest enough.

I want nothing more than to live well.

In this world, only women know women best.

Especially smart women.

I can see them clearly, and they can see me clearly.

So, I got pregnant very quickly.

I became the most favored and decent woman in this harem.

I know very well that this dignity was not given to me by Chu Ye.

A man's favor is temporary.

Instead of bothering about ethereal things, it is better to seize all the help, arm yourself, and do everything possible to stay away from intrigues and intrigues and protect yourself.

At the river banquet on the day of the Shangshi Festival, I noticed something unusual in advance, and specially sent a little eunuch to guard the riverside, just to warn the princess in advance and keep her away from trouble.

As for the Marquis of Yiyang, I wish he died.

If he dies, there will be no one who will send news into the palace from time to time, and let me do this and that for the Yiyang Marquis Mansion in front of the emperor.

Why should I do something for the person who killed my mother?

Although, on the day of the Shangsi Festival, the crown prince declined my kindness.

But the crown princess still warned me in advance and saved me on the night of the "five concubines' miscarriage", as I did to her at the beginning.

That night, I saw with my own eyes a black line that snaked like a snake into the temple and wandered around in search of it.

If it weren't for the cinnabar rune paper sent by the crown princess, the fetus in my womb would have become a bloody stillbirth......

On the day the news of Chu Ye's death came, I finally slept peacefully.

When he's dead, I don't have to try to please him.

Don't worry, the baby in the womb is born and then involved in endless battles.

The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world.

I also moved out of the palace as I wished.

I was nineteen years old, and I became the only concubine in the capital who retired and went out of the palace to raise her.

Now, the mansion where I live is the Huan Wang's Mansion when Chu Ye Qiandi.

Across the street from it is the former Yiyang Marquis Mansion.

This mansion is mine now.

Those who openly and secretly let A-Niang suffer and freeze to death, all died.

I'm also revenge.

In addition to the baby in my belly, I also have an additional son, who is the tenth prince born by Zhao Guifei.

I have the most faithful guards and servants by my side.

My sister-in-law, Yuelan, took her mother's surname, and now her surname is Jiang, and she is this year's woman Enke, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple appointed by Empress Shen'an.

My good days have just begun......
