"What did the queen do today?"

"Back to the emperor, the queen invited Concubine Shu, Concubine Xin and Concubine Xun to play leaf cards today, and in the afternoon, I made an appointment with Concubine Ying, Concubine Niangniang and Qing Concubine Niangniang to watch the circus, and I should just return to Yikun Palace at this time." Xia Ping'an bowed and replied, handing a bowl of warm white fungus lily soup to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it's fifteen today, do you want to go to Yikun Palace to sit down?" ”

The emperor just put down the Zhu Pi in his hand, stretched his stiff body, closed his eyes and sighed: "Forget it, when the queen sees me, I'm afraid that the white eyes will roll to the back of her head, so let's continue to criticize the folds." He scooped a spoonful of lily soup and put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up, "Today's soup is doing well, who made it?" ”

"It's a little palace maid newly assigned to the imperial dining room, surnamed Wei." Xia Ping'an said, "Her skills are really good, a few days ago she made a dish of asparagus stewed quail in the queen's palace, and the queen mother was also full of praise." ”

The emperor ate a few more bites in a row, and sighed in a low voice: "It reminds me of the soup made by my mother before...... Is there any news from Jiangnan recently? ”

"The old lady is all right, I heard that Zhang Luo recently opened a restaurant, the business is very good, and she also opened a school to accept women's ......"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap on the ground, and the entire Heart Cultivation Hall shook with it, and the emperor almost smashed the bowl in his hand: "What's the matter?" ”

The smoke of Yikun Palace was billowing out, and the queen stood in the courtyard with a disgraced face, looking at the messy small kitchen with a frustrated face, and Wei Yi on the side obviously hadn't come back to his senses, like an overly frightened rabbit, standing in place with a shovel and spoon.

"Are there any injuries?" The queen wiped her face casually, walked in front of Wei Yi, and leaned over to look at her slightly.

Wei Yi was scared when she thought about it, and her round apricot eyes suddenly watered: "Slave, slave maid......" She looked up at the queen, her face was full of grievances, her eyes and nose were red, more like a rabbit.

"Oops, oops, don't cry." The queen suddenly panicked, and hurriedly took a handkerchief from the handmaid to wipe her tears, "It's me who is not good, I am not good, you cook well, I have to intervene in what to do, I know that I am a kitchen killer, and I insist on getting up to ......"

"The Queen, the Queen!"

The queen stiffened suddenly, and reflexively wanted to escape, but unfortunately before she could take a step, someone grabbed the back collar, and she couldn't, so she had to smile and look at the visitor: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The emperor glanced around with a dark face, and finally his eyes fell on Wei Yi, his eyes moved slightly, but he quickly looked away and counted the queen endlessly: "I haven't been here for a few days, what are you doing?" Do you think your life is too long, and you want to see Hades sooner? After speaking, he turned his head to look at the palace maids in the courtyard, and looked coldly, "Are they all dead?" Don't serve the queen to change clothes and freshen up! ”

"What are you doing so fiercely?" The queen muttered as she was surrounded by a group of palace maids and entered the dormitory.

The emperor sighed a little tiredly, and then looked back at Wei Yi: "You are not from the queen's palace." ”

"The slave and maid belong to the imperial dining room." Wei Yi's feet were soft, he knelt down with a plop, his forehead hit the ground and made a muffled sound, his body shrunk into a ball, shaking like a ball of sifted chaff, "The queen mother said that she wanted to eat the sweet soup made by the slave maid, and the slave maid made it and sent it over, and after the queen mother finished eating, she said that she wanted to learn, so let the slave and maid make another one in the small kitchen of Yikun Palace, and the result was ...... I accidentally sprinkled flour, and the open flame was flammable, so it exploded. The emperor's forgiveness is all the fault of the slave and maid......" At the end, his voice couldn't help but cry a little.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and rubbed his eyebrows with some headaches: "It's the queen, right?" ”

"No, no, it's the slave who is careless." Wei Yi raised his head and waved his hand repeatedly.

Su Qin, who was standing behind the emperor, pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Miss Wei is kind-hearted, because she is afraid that the emperor will punish the queen." She bent her eyes with a smile and said, "Emperor Shengming, it was indeed the queen mother who knocked over the flour bag with her hands and feet, which caused the explosion." ”

Wei Yi looked at the emperor's suddenly sinking face, and his face turned pale with fright, and he shed tears when he brushed it.

The emperor was about to have a seizure, but after catching a glimpse of Wei Yi's pitiful face, he suddenly held back, and tried to take a deep breath before holding back his temper: "Ping'an, take her to the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

Xia Ping'an immediately stepped forward to receive the order and took Wei Yi, who was weak, down.

In the dormitory, the queen changed her new clothes and was sitting on the couch eating pastries, when she saw the emperor coming in, she didn't get up to salute, but smiled and raised her hand and shook it: "Come on, try this phoenix cake, the little girl's craftsmanship is really good." She pushed the pink pastry towards the emperor, then blinked and smiled ambiguously, "How about this?" It must be your favorite type, right? ”

"I look very young, just fifteen or sixteen years old." The emperor sat down on the couch, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, the pastry was sweet and refreshing, almost melting in his mouth, "Jingshu, I am thirty-one years old, more than a round older than her." ”

"The emperor is thirty-one, and if you don't consider the imperial heir, I'm afraid that in a few years, I won't be able to do anything." The queen sighed thoughtfully, skillfully dodged the soft pillow purse thrown by the emperor, and then fell crooked on the couch, "You are the emperor, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and you are stunned to live as an ascetic." She sighed, shook her head and sighed.

The emperor was suddenly silent, he looked at the queen fixedly, and only spoke for a long time: "Do you want to leave like that?" ”

There was silence in the hall.

The hippie smile on the queen's face faded suddenly, she flattened the corners of her mouth, put away the frolicking on weekdays, and looked at the emperor seriously: "Honghao, I don't want to be a finch in the Forbidden City, I want to be an eagle soaring in the sky." My soul does not belong to this era, let alone you, you promised me that you would let me go. Her eyes flickered slightly, staring at the emperor's eyes, "A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

"I see." The emperor tightened his jaw and stood up with a cold face.

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, returned to her usual heartless appearance, and said with a smile: "The emperor walks slowly, come often when you are free~" She watched the emperor's figure slowly disappear at the door, and the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly fell back, and after a long silence, she ate the half-eaten phoenix cake into her stomach one by one.

Wei Yi soon became favored, from an official woman all the way to a nobleman, the emperor who had been pure for many years seemed to suddenly open his mind, and poured all the rain and dew grace on this soft jasmine, making her bloom with a different kind of beauty.

With this precedent, the concubines and concubines of the palace also began to move, but after several temptations, they found that the emperor's deep and strong hobby seemed to belong to Wei Yi alone, and no one else could tell it.

Soon, good news came from the palace.

"Niangniang, Wei Guiren of Yongshou Palace has been pregnant for two months." When Su Qin got the news, she informed the queen as soon as possible.

At that time, the queen was bored flipping through "The Art of War", and her eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the words: "Okay, good, worthy of the person I fancied." Go and tell the Queen Mother the good news. She rubbed her hands, her eyes were as bright as stars in the night, "Qingshu, go to the treasury to pick up some treasures and send them to Yongshou Palace, tell Wei Guiren that there is this palace, don't worry about anything, it is important to give birth to the child well." ”

And after the Heart Cultivation Palace got the news, the emperor didn't seem very happy, he only asked lightly: "After the queen knows about this, is she happy?" ”

"The queen is so happy, she sends things to Yongshou Palace like flowing water, and she is very eager for Wei Guiren." Xia Ping'an smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyes, "The Queen Mother was also very happy when she knew about it, and she hurried to let people spread the news to Jiangnan, and the old lady would be very happy if she found out." ”

"That's good." The emperor lowered his eyes and read a sentence in a low voice, and then continued to criticize the fold, "Spread the decree, the nobleman Wei of Jin Yongshou Palace is a concubine, give a title, and promote Wei Qingtai to be a collar." After speaking, his mind wandered for a moment, and the Zhu Pi in his hand paused in mid-air, and he didn't come back to his senses until the Zhu Mo dropped, "That's all, let's go." ”

"Huh." Xia Ping'an retreated, and when he retreated to the door, he glanced back in a ghostly manner, not knowing if it was his illusion, he felt that the emperor didn't seem to be very happy.

Xia Ping'an's footsteps paused slightly, he looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, his figure gradually coincided with the picture in his memory, the difference is that Emperor Sejong was always accompanied by Empress Xiaomingxian, but the emperor was a real loner.

The long summer sun fell from the window, pulling out a long silhouette, silently telling the loneliness and loneliness of the high place.

In the spring of the twenty-first year of the Apocalypse, Concubine Ling gave birth to Princess Hejing, Jin Feng Concubine Ling, and then successively gave birth to the emperor's eldest son Yonglu, and the second daughter of the emperor He Ke, Jin Feng Ling Guifei.

In the winter of the twenty-fifth year of the Apocalypse, Concubine Ling gave birth to the second son of the emperor Yongyan in the Old Summer Palace, and the next year, the third son of the emperor was born, but he died due to lack in the womb.

In the thirtieth year of the Apocalypse, the emperor ordered a southern tour, and the mighty team traveled all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.

The good scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention the peaceful prosperity of the present day, is a flower-like scene, even if it is accompanied by a slight drizzle on this day, it does not affect the beauty of this landscape painting scroll at all. The dragon boat slowly sailed into the river, both sides of the river are the rain-prone officials, a silent sound, and then look into the distance, is densely kneeling at dawn people, the warm wind mixed with the rain is coming, the world is shrouded in gentle mist.

After the holy car went to the palace to stay, the emperor went to Cailianzhuang in Weifu, and never thought that the queen mother would arrive early in the morning.

"Honghao is here, sit down." Zhen Huan drank slowly with the wine cup in her hand, and when she saw the emperor walking in hurriedly, she hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, "The mourning family and Rong'er are talking about you, but it just so happens that you are here, try your mother's newly brewed lychee wine, you can't buy it outside." ”

The emperor pursed his lips and took a sip, with a mellow aroma in the sweetness, and the aftertaste was endless in one sip, and he couldn't help but drink the whole cup cleanly: "It's sweeter than the green plum wine that Eniang sent to the palace a few years ago, no wonder Fengyilou's business is so prosperous." ”

"I haven't seen him for many years, but Honghao's speech has become more and more likable." An Lingrong smiled and narrowed his eyes, and poured him another glass of wine, "I heard your imperial mother say that you have been favoring the Wei family in recent years, what is the reason?" ”

The emperor lowered his eyes and was silent, turned the wine glass and drank it again, and after a long time he said in some frustration: "The Wei family is the person who the queen sent to her son after thousands of choices, and the more she is favored, the more the queen is happy." ”

The unexpected answer made An Lingrong stunned for a while, and after a long time, she understood, reached out and gently touched the emperor's head, and said softly: "You can't keep her, can you?" ”

"E-niang, can't I really keep her around?" The emperor suddenly raised his head and looked at An Lingrong, his eyes were soft and fragile, "I can ask for nothing, just ask her to be by my side." At the end, he lowered his head again and said sullenly, "Eniang, my son really likes her." ”

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan glanced at each other silently, and both of them sighed.

"When I first heard the name Jingshu, I thought she was a gentle and demure girl, but I didn't expect her to be so bright and chic, riding a horse in a suit, pulling a bow and archery to capture, just like a fire in winter and a scorching sun in summer." An Lingrong remembered the past and couldn't help but smile, "Honghao, let me ask you, do you like the bright Jingshu back then, or the Jingshu who is in the queen's shackles now?" ”

The emperor was dumbfounded and opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, but the answer was already clear.

"Emperor, since you can't keep her, let her go, fulfill her, and fulfill your affection for her." Zhen Huan also persuaded on the side, she watched every day in the palace, even if there were grievances against Ula Nala Yixiu in the past, she would still sigh that Nala Jingshu was a good child.

The emperor sat down in his seat dejectedly, biting his wine glass and drinking sullenly.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door, and the queen was also dressed in a micro-dress, and after asking the salute, she looked around nervously, and saw that the emperor was already drunk and lying on the table, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, it's here." ”

"Honghao is drunk, stay for one night." An Lingrong smiled and asked Dill to prepare the room, "Since you are here, then stay together, and send someone back to say it." ”

"Well, if there is nothing important, it is natural to stay overnight." The queen shook her head and asked people to hurry up to prepare the sobering soup, "Eniang, Huang Eniang, there is an urgent report from the southwest, there is another riot in Jinchuan, and the governor of Sichuan, Altai, is invincible, and he has ......been defeated one after another."

"Altai is useless!" The emperor woke up drunk with a touch of red, shook his head and fell into the queen's arms, "Pai...... Send Fu Heng to go. ”

"Fu Heng is still in the northwest." The queen twisted the handkerchief to wipe the emperor's face, and then held his face and said seriously, "Honghao, let me go." ”

The emperor suddenly woke up, and he was about to shake his head without thinking about it, but the queen firmly fixed his head.

"Honghao, I will definitely win, believe me." The queen said word by word, with an eager fire in her eyes, "Let me go, I want to go." ”

The emperor shook his hand, pulled the queen's hand down, and then wrapped her hand with his palm, and bowed his head deeply: "Okay." "The girl he loves the most wants to spread his wings and fly high, and he can't be the one who breaks her wings.

When the queen was gone, she neatly cut off her long hair, dressed as a man, and set off with the army to the front.

This time the Battle of Jinchuan was fought very hard, for five years, with more than 10,000 casualties and 70 million taels of silver, and finally ushered in victory in the autumn of the 35th year of the Apocalypse.

And the emperor also welcomed back his beloved queen - a small box of ashes.

"Hey, which little Langjun are you? was born with such a good appearance, my name is Jingshu, small character flying eagle, what about you? ”

"I ...... Ahem, my name is Honghao. ”
