Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Concubine Jing doesn't think Mei Yuzong has changed.

The first time she saw him in the palace, she found that he was as gentle and emotionally stable as before, unlike the madman who was the emperor.

The emperor's body has been drained by wine and sex. The first Hui Guiren and later Qin Concubine both made the emperor's body collapse. Now he can't suppress the old smell in his body even after drinking various tonics.

The emperor is no longer young. A serious illness has made him more than ten years older. If it were not for the dragon robe and wealth and majesty, the emperor would look much older than his peers.

When Concubine Jing followed the emperor, she and Mei Yuzong had been together for almost a year, but she was only fifteen at that time, and she was only seventeen when she gave birth to the third prince.

Now the third prince is in his early twenties, but she, after so many years in the palace, is actually not even forty.

Mei Yuzong was only three years older than her and had just turned forty.

Compared with the emperor who looked to be in his sixties, Mei Yuzong was thin, tall, and elegant. His face was also unique to Jiangnan people. He was as empty and quiet as an empty mountain after the rain. He had an aura that seemed very strange to Concubine Jing. Special temperament.

From the moment Mei Yuzong picked up the good handkerchief with great care, Concubine Jing's thoughts started boiling like a few drops of water in hot oil.

Perhaps she felt that Mei Yuzong had not changed because Mei Yuzong was not flattering or philistine, but refreshing and refreshing, which was in line with her imagination of what Mei Yuzong should be like.

"Yulang, I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you."

What Concubine Jing hinted was actually very clear.

The hint was clear enough when she asked Mei Yuzong to stay in the capital.

She was waiting for Mei Yuzong's answer.

Yulang will definitely not refuse, because he will never forget his old love and doesn't mind leaving without saying goodbye. He has always kept the handkerchief she gave him.

Unexpectedly, Mei Yuzong said: "Thank you for your kindness, the common people understand it. The matter has already passed many years ago. There is no question of compensation or not. Seeing that the empress is well, the common people are satisfied."

"Yulang!" Concubine Jing was anxious, thinking she didn't explain clearly, so she lowered her voice and said:

"You wait for me, at most two years, no, at most one year, and I can leave the palace at will!"

Like the current Queen Mother, she could find an excuse to leave the palace to worship Buddha and be with Mei Yuzong forever for the rest of her life.

They have money and can go wherever they want. They no longer have to live a life of careful calculation.

Concubine Jing was already imagining the future, and the supreme power was right before her eyes. This was her lifelong pursuit, but she suddenly recalled the days when she was cared for by Mei Yuzong in Yangzhou.

She was just a woman who lacked love. She found that what she needed more was the love and care she had back then.

"Concubine Jing, ordinary people don't understand."

Mei Yuzong didn't react at all. He just said calmly: "It was my mother who left on her own initiative, and you and I were not married, so it doesn't seem to be a betrayal. Since my mother has already made her choice, why do she regret it now. "

"Regret? No, I don't regret leaving you, Yulang, have you seen it? A person like me can also be worshiped by countless people. In the future, my status will be higher, and I can get anything I want. If we hadn't separated, I might have been abused by your parents and turned into a bad person. Even if we have children, we will never become the best among people like my third prince."

"Yulang, what I say may not sound nice, but it's the truth, isn't it? What I regret is that I should have found you Yulang earlier, so that you could have a much easier life, and we could also..."

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say."

Mei Yuzong stood up from the chair: "The common people just pretended not to hear what the empress said. This is a serious crime of beheading. The common people don't want to implicate the people in the troupe."

Concubine Jing said quickly: "Yulang, don't be angry, okay, I won't say these things."

She could understand that Mei Yuzong was just a commoner, how brave could he be?

<divclass="contentadv">No rush, as long as she knows Mei Yuzong's thoughts, that's enough.

Concubine Jing stopped talking about this and turned to talk about Yangzhou.

Before meeting Mei Yuzong, she even ate tree bark when she was poorest, but years of pampering made her forget her predicament at that time. She talked about a kind of wild grass cake in Yangzhou, saying that she was in the capital I have never tasted that taste again in all these years.

"If the empress doesn't mind, the common people will borrow the palace kitchen to make it for the empress."

When Concubine Jing heard this, her smile deepened.

She was actually testing.

In the past, Mei Yuzong was willing to do anything for her.

Now she just said she wanted to eat the taste of Yangzhou back then, and Mei Yuzong cooked it for her personally. This shows that this man has not changed and he always has her in his heart.

The two did not chat for too long, lest the palace maids and eunuchs become suspicious. Many of these people were the emperor's people.

Sure enough, at night, the emperor asked her about her conversation with Master Mei.

When Concubine Jing cried and said she missed her hometown, she was put off.

The emperor couldn't help but think of the situation when he went to Yangzhou.

Not long after he succeeded to the throne at that time, the Queen Mother went to worship Buddha outside the palace to avoid suspicion, and she could not see him more than a few times a year.

The less he can get, the more he wants it.

Not long after arriving in Yangzhou, he unexpectedly saw Honglian carrying a vegetable basket and picking wild vegetables in the suburbs.

Just a casual glance from the sedan chair made him pause. At that moment, he thought she was the Queen Mother.

Only when you look closely can you see the difference between her and the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother will not roll up her sleeves rudely, nor will she recognize the weeds on the roadside, nor will she get mud on her hands when uprooting the wild vegetables.

He is the emperor, and all the people in the world belong to him.

In order to respect the Queen Mother, he suppressed his inner emotions.

But he didn't need to suppress himself in front of such a village girl.

He had Honglian brought to the carriage and took her by force.

The harder Honglian struggled, the more he felt that the person beneath him was the Queen Mother. He liked the way Honglian refused to give in.

Honglian also said that he wanted to report to an official, but little did he know that he was the biggest official in the world.

But the emperor would not be patient with a village girl. He directly explained his identity and gave Honglian a choice.

Later, it was Honglian who said goodbye to her family and came to him on her own initiative.

It’s just that the emperor thought that after seizing Honglian, Honglian could only be his woman, and later he fell in love with him so much that he couldn’t help himself. Little did he know that Honglian had been another man’s wife for a long time, and she would bleed when she struggled hard. Honglian and him Go away, just coveting glory and wealth.

The emperor didn't pay attention to the village girl, so he naturally didn't send anyone to investigate. He didn't know that Honglian killed two people in order to come to him, and he didn't know that the troupe leader who was singing in the palace now, It's Honglian's old friend.

The emperor is getting older, and when he looks back on the past, he rarely regrets and says, "I treated you a little too much back then, but from now on, you two will only be rich and powerful."
