The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Chapter 86

Yu Shenyan Yao Tianya Road (1)

Zhu Chengbi sat quietly on the throne in the middle of the court hall, dressed in bright yellow, vermilion and purple phoenix clothes, and the purple gold nine dragons, nine phoenixes and jade wings hung down the fine gold silk beads, silently.

The huge court hall was resplendent and resplendent. At this moment, there was only Zhu Chengbi alone. In fact, what's the point of being full of civil and military officials?It's always been just me.

After a while, there was the sound of steady footsteps, and Zhu Chengbi's hands brushed over the armrest of the exquisitely carved Dragon Tengxiangyun Throne, and then put his hands on his knees again, with a vague smile: "The Regent."

Yizhen smiled faintly: "The Empress Dowager."

Zhu Chengbi said quietly: "The first time I entered the court hall was after the death of the first emperor. As the empress dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I listened to the government behind the curtain. When I saw all the civil and military officials kneeling in front of me, I shouted 'a thousand years old empress dowager'; Flipping the palm of my hand can make the heroes of the world go through fire and water for me. Even though I am just a woman, I still have a sense of pride and ambition."

Yizhen walked up to the throne step by step, looking around, it was the moment when the morning sun was shining, and the sun was covering the ground with a golden color, making the court hall look solemn and majestic.The officials who can stand here are all the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, either because of their rich and strong family background, or because of their outstanding talents of learning and wealth, or their illustrious military exploits on the battlefield.

However, the most honorable ones are the emperors sitting on the throne. Emperor Taizu conquered the country with a single call of arms, Emperor Taizong conquered the country with great ambitions, and Emperor Gaozong Emperor Longqing won the throne from nine sons. Later, he rebelled against Longyou in the middle of Shu and defeated Wuliang. Emperor Qianyuan was the first young monarch to enjoy his success.

Naturally, I will not be reconciled.

In what way is his own culture and martial arts inferior to Zhou Xuanling?Why should all my credit be in the hands of Zhou Yidan and his son?

Zhu Chengbi stood up gracefully, and stood side by side with Yizhen. Her face was exquisite and gorgeous, like a peony in full bloom. ? Do you want to experience the feeling of the throne?"

Yizhen hesitated a little, his eyes seemed to be covered by a mist, and he could not see clearly: "I am only the regent, and I cannot overstep."

Zhu Chengbi smiled without showing his teeth, and took Yichen's hand: "Here, there are only you and me."

Thousands of turbulent waves aroused in his heart, and there seemed to be an invisible thin thread tightly holding his hands and feet. Yizhen subconsciously walked towards the throne. In the sunlight, the throne glowed with golden light, exuding a deadly temptation.

Yizhen sat down slowly, brushing his hands over the delicate pattern of dragons and flying clouds on the armrest, his eyes changed from surprise to excitement, and then to extreme excitement.

"Regent!"

A towering male voice sounded, it was Zhu Qizhen, who walked into the hall holding a golden ox horn and a big bow, and swung his eyes like a sharp sword at Yizhen: "You dare to overstep the emperor!"

Yizhen squinted his eyes, and sneered: "Do you dare to shoot me?"

Zhu Qizhen's smile was extremely cold, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by cold air, making it difficult to distinguish his appearance: "My wish in this life is to shoot an arrow through your head! If it weren't for you, Chuanzong would not have died at all. !"

Zhu Chengbi didn't say yes or no, as if she didn't care at all, she walked slowly to Zhu Qizhen's side, and suddenly burst into an uncontrollable smile: "Zhou Yizhen! The emperor's throne was passed down by the late emperor, and the late emperor ordered you to uphold the responsibility of assisting the government. Dare to take power and dictatorship! Aijia will never tolerate you!"

Yizhen was startled, and then sneered a few times: "It's you! It's you who colluded with Zhu Qizhen to kill me? So what if I sit on the throne? I have hundreds of thousands of civil and military officials under my command, and you? Or the two of you? Just want to punish me?"

"The regent has ten crimes!" At some time, a woman walked in from outside the hall, her voice was clear and moist, and the cold wind was unscrewed on the lake-blue skirt between her steps, "My hand There is a mountain of evidence of your crime! I also have a roster of your henchmen!"

Yizhen looked at the woman coldly: "Fu Wanhan? It turned out to be you!"

"Wrong, I'm Fu Wanting!" The woman walked to Zhu Chengbi's side, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and there was a hint of sharp edge, "You would never have imagined that the maid next to Princess Changning, It turned out to be the late emperor's concubine. If I hadn't been lurking in your residence, how could I have collected countless evidence of your crime!"

Yizhen was shocked and angry: "Zhu Chengbi, don't force me!"

Zhu Chengbi paused every word, with a sonorous tone: "The great period is approaching, Regent, please return the great government!"

Yi Chen got up suddenly: "Where is Cheng Yu?"

Zhu Chengbi was startled, but seeing Cheng Yu twisting Xuan Ling's hands into the palace, he retreated a few steps in shock, and glared at Yi Chen angrily, "How dare you hold the emperor hostage!"

Yizhen laughed when he heard the words: "You are threatening to take this king's life, so this king naturally has to find a way out." Yizheng glanced at Zhu Chengbi playfully, his eyes suddenly flashed a little fierce, "Very good! Very good! All the love and time, to you, is just a fleeting moment after all, you are ruthless, don’t blame this king for being unrighteous! Everyone in the world advances by retreating, but this king advances by advancing, the crime of killing the king, someone will be blamed ..."

"No!" Zhu Chengbi woke up suddenly, panting heavily.

Zhu Xi hurriedly entered the inner hall, presenting a Ruyi palace lantern adorned with gold cups and peonies, and using nine-claw hanging lotus golden hooks to draw up the phoenix-patterned veil curtains, supported Zhu Chengbi to lean on the head of the bed, and held the silk Wipe the sweat off Zhu Chengbi's forehead: "Is the empress dowager having a nightmare?"

Zhu Chengbi took a cup of calming tea brought by Zhu Xi, tried his best to sip a few sips, Fang was startled to feel the cold sweat on his back, upset and said: "It's been a nightmare for two or three days in a row, and there has never been such a strange thing. .”

Zhu Xi persuaded softly: "Think about it every day, dream about it at night, there is no point in thinking too much about the Empress Dowager."

"Did I think too much, or did someone really have a plan?" Zhu Chengbi pressed his eyebrows wearily, "I'm really worried that the regent will force the palace because he covets the throne."

Zhu Xi was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The regent is ambitious, but the more ambitious ones are probably his subjects."

Zhu Chengbi glanced at Zhu Xi's expression of reluctance to talk, and said lightly: "I understand, I can't just give in blindly, if even 25 years of love can't bind him, then only the ancestors can do it. "

Chenxi Pavilion in Zhu's Mansion in the south of the city, Mu Mian took a bowl of purple potato porridge with cube sugar from Zhu'er, took a sip, but his stomach was overwhelmed, and he retched while holding on to the table. Qizhen rushed in a few steps: "Kapian, what's wrong with you?"

Since Sun Chuanzong left, Zhu Qizhen never came to Hanruixuan or Chenxi Pavilion to spend the night again, and even if he came here by chance, he would leave without saying a few words.When he came over suddenly today, Kapok was surprised and delighted, and felt slightly embarrassed for a moment.

Zhu'er covered her lips with a smile and said, "My lord, madam is already two months pregnant."

"More than two months?" Zhu Qizhen thought about it for a while, and now he understood that it was early February, and it seemed that this child was conceived in late November last year, just a few days before Sun Chuanzong left.Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen glanced at the sugar cube purple potato porridge on the table again, the corners of his eyes seemed to be brushed softly by something, wrapped in light and heavy stinging pains, and almost tears were about to fall.

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen was in a daze, Mu Mian's heart sank, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you not happy, sir?"

"How come, don't worry too much." Zhu Qizhen supported the kapok to sit down, tried his best to smooth his eyebrows, and said with a faint smile, "It's been more than two months, but why didn't you say it before?"

"My concubine knows that after Mr. Sun left, my lord feels very uncomfortable..." Mu Mian glanced at Zhu Qizhen's froze face, and said softly, "This child may be bestowed on this concubine because of God's pity for you. Before I was pregnant, my concubine dreamed of a large area of ​​pear blossoms, but it is a pity that the adults have already cut down all the pear trees in the backyard, otherwise, after this child is born, he will definitely love the pear bushes in the backyard."

A complex look flashed in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, whether it was surprise or relief, he held Kapok's hand tightly, and his cold eyes were full of gentleness, staying on her lower abdomen: "Don't mention him again, you Take good care of this child."

Mu Mian's eyes dimmed slightly, and there was a little hesitation: "Madam is the first wife's main wife, and the concubine is pregnant first, I'm afraid Madam will be unhappy."

"Don't think too much, your child is also her child, I will tell her personally and let her take good care of you." Zhu Qizhen patted Kapok's hand to show comfort, "I have been married to Qiu Yicheng for more than three years There is no news about her for a long time, this child is very rare, I am afraid it will be my only child."

Mu Mian was startled, and hurriedly said: "My lord is still young, why do you say that?"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head, and got up slowly: "In a few days, I will enter the palace and ask the Queen Mother to let you in. These few days are troubled, you don't need to enter the palace, so as not to lose your tongue."

Mu Mian said softly: "I understand."

When Zhu Qizhen left, Kapok sighed long, waved his hand and said, "I can't eat now, you take everything away."

Zhu'er persuaded: "Although Madam has no appetite, she has to think about the child in her womb."

Kapok gently caressed her lower abdomen, thinking of the scene just now, but she mentioned that she dreamed of pear blossoms before she was pregnant, Zhu Qizhen's expression became so fast, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour: "I think about the child, will he be happy?" For my sake?"

Zhu'er's eyes lightened slightly, she took a chopstick of pickled melon and put it in the kapok bowl, and said slowly: "Madam is feeling uncomfortable, and this servant knows it too, but Madam is used to seeing battles in the palace, how come I can't think about it? Madam should understand, whether you think about it or not, Madam's child is safe and sound, and the heart of an adult will stay here."

Kapok and Zhu'er have always been more suspicious of each other and rarely seen each other honestly. However, Kapok's pregnancy seems to be a rare ray of sunshine in the gloomy and hazy day, which finally eases the relationship between them.

Kapok picked up the pickled melon, looked at the black color, and felt that my original heart, which had been ups and downs in the big dyeing vats in the palace and mansion, had been soaked so thickly that it was no different from this pickled melon. up.

"A concubine looks like Xu Shan, but Lang Rushi doesn't care at all." Mu Mian sighed sadly, "At this point, what can I expect? As long as this child grows up safely, I have no regrets."
