female concubine

Three steps in parallel, King Chu's eyes were red with anger, and he quickly grabbed Xiao Wanqing's hand that wanted to escape.

In fact, this was not the case, because it was far more terrifying than she thought.

The touch from the palm came to my mind, and I was shocked by it, and I couldn't even believe it, "You?"

She immediately withdrew her hand, feeling teasing, funny, and also a little bit sad, with mixed feelings, she couldn't tell what it was, "Are you a woman?"

Wei Huan lowered his hands, turned around and fell down on the side of the bed weakly, leaning his head on the edge of the bed, "Seventeen years ago, Weng Weng's family committed the death crime of being implicated. There will be amnesty in the world, and my mother was pregnant with me... So on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the news of the premature birth came from Zhaohua Pavilion, and the provincial government issued an imperial edict to send the world's death row prisoners to release them!"

She leaned against the head of the bed, her eyes darkened, "So I am no longer me."

After listening to her explanation, Xiao Youqing tried her best to calm down the panic in her heart. Instead of complaining, it is better to think of countermeasures, and this was her own choice. Now that the matter has come to an end, who can she blame? Besides, she has a purpose I just entered the Chu Palace, even if the Chu King is not a woman, how much emotion does she have? What she wants is just an obedient prince. Now, her life experience is the biggest handle. If she holds it, is she still afraid that people will be disobedient? , "The reason why your Majesty doesn't like you is because of this..." Then Xiao Youqing looked down at the Queen who was next to the bed, and said in his heart: You probably don't know that the Li family of Yushi Zhongcheng colluded with Chuo and abolished the crown prince. How did your father, who was originally the king of Qi, ascend to the great position!

Wei Huan only knew that his mother's crime was a capital crime, but his mother never mentioned a single word to her about the crime, and she was not allowed to ask.

"Now that you know, you can give up your heart. There are two choices before you. One, expose me and return your innocence. King Zhao likes you, and His Majesty loves him the most. If you marry him, you will still be innocent." I can keep you safe, and second, I will ask you to reconcile with you, Daoming is my fault, from now on, you can still marry freely, and the Xiao family will not be implicated."

The young man seems childish, but his thinking is very clear and shrewd. Among the options listed, the first one, abandoning the king of Chu and choosing the king of Zhao, seems good, but in fact it is bad. Tianyan, even if she herself has been blessed by King Zhao, the Xiao family's path may come to an end when the emperor of this dynasty is in power, Xiao Youqing calmed down, "Then what if the concubine chooses the third?"

third?She had forgotten that there was another option. Wei Huan turned his head and stared at his eyes, and what he saw was a face with extremely delicate features and unchanging expression. Think, "You?"

"Neither expose nor divorce, and the concubine will not force the prince to do what he does not want to do."

"The concubine only knows that the concubine is the concubine of Chu Wang Yuan who is being married by the prince Mingmei. As long as your majesty and the prince do not abandon the concubine, no one can shake her!"

Xiao Youqing's words were so powerful that Wei Huan stared at him silently for a while.

"Is the prince surprised, why is the concubine so calm?" Xiao Youqing saw through her doubts, "Actually, I should have guessed it a long time ago, that portrait... How can there be such a clean, handsome and handsome man in the world."

Xiao Youqing noticed her tense expression, and said again: "But if it wasn't for the prince's own hands and mouth, the concubine would not think about that, because there will always be some surprises in this world."

She breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately fell backwards, lying on the cold floor, "I really don't know whether I should be happy or worried." The happy thing is that she doesn't have to die, but the worry is because she feels Will die later.

Wei Huan looked directly at the carved beams, and slowly asked: "Is it worth it? Bury yourself, you are still so young."

"Isn't the prince too? But the prince is younger than the concubine."

"If you say that, I'm saying the same thing as you. Also, isn't it all for the so-called family, but the difference is that you have a choice, but I don't have a choice."

Xiao Youqing wanted to ask her if she was born in the royal family and the princes seized power, did she really have no interest in the big position? With the temperament of the crown prince and Zhao Wang, no matter which one takes the throne, they will not let go of siblings who can threaten the throne. When she sat up and saw King Chu's expression, she choked up and couldn't ask anymore, "It's cold on the ground." She sat up from the couch, squatted beside Wei Huan, and tried to help her up.

Wei Huan grabbed Xiao Youqing's extended hand, pulled her closer, and stared straight at her, "Since you chose the third one, the wife..."

"The concubine said that if the concubine is registered in the mansion, she will belong to the prince. If the prince wants it, the concubine will give it to her. But the concubine doesn't know. As a woman, how can the prince want it?"

Wei Huan shook off her hand and got up from the ground, "I haven't seen it before, so I don't know, it's just!" She lowered her gaze, "The woman I want is willing, not an exchange of benefits, even my own chastity people!"

Xiao Youqing raised his head and looked at Wei Huan angrily, "If the concubine didn't marry into the palace, the prince thinks he can still do this tonight?"

Wei Huan stopped shaking his sleeves, stood quietly for a while before walking away, "It's late at night, I'm going to sleep on the couch in the outer room, you should rest early."

When she arrived under the rolling curtain, she stopped suddenly, "I'm very grateful that you didn't expose me. Since you have entered my Chu Palace, I will do my best to protect you, but only for the sake of Princess Chu."

After King Chu left, Xiao Youqing stood by the bed in a daze, "Obviously he is not a cold person, but he insists on keeping his face stiff..."

She seemed to understand a little bit about what she said, maybe this person and the Liu family really have something, otherwise what can a woman do if she often hangs around in brothels.

At the beginning of the seventh year of Daye, Khitan invaded. The emperor brought the third prince Wei Yunsheng, who was only eight years old, to march in person.

In the winter of the seventh year of Daye, the snow hardened, and the plum blossoms in the capital were in full bloom. The royal troop triumphantly marched on the fiery red imperial road.

"Mother, look, it's Weng Weng and Daddy." The little girl pointed to the general in front of the team.

"Shh." The woman gestured towards her gently.

The little girl withdrew Bai Nen's hand.

The people kneeling on both sides shouted long live, and some people below spoke about the might of the emperor's personal conquest.

"Mother, I want to marry such a great hero from now on!" Chicheng looked at Yuma without blinking her innocent eyes.

The woman carried her into the carriage, and took off the veil after she sat down, revealing a beautiful face, and said softly: "A hero is only a hero in front of people, but after he gets to people, he may be like us, some are elder brothers, some are fathers, wengs, etc. Weng, there are others..." She rolled up the curtain of the car and glanced at the emperor on the imperial horse, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"A person's heart is good or bad, it doesn't depend on the final result. Mother only hopes that the husband you will marry in the future will be someone who is full of eyes on you, who can protect you well and stay with you until you grow old."

The girl half understood, "Why?"

The woman pampered her head, "When Qing'er grows up and can distinguish people's hearts, I will understand."

"mother!"

"mother!"

Xiao Youqing woke up from the dream and heard a voice from the outer room.

So he held the lampstand and went out.

I don't know what the king of Chu dreamed about to be so frowning and sweating.

Xiao Youqing went back to the room to get the towel, trying not to make any noise.

As the fire approached, Wei Huan noticed something strange around him, woke up from the nightmare, and subconsciously grabbed Xiao Youqing's hand to wipe his sweat.

"My lord, I'm a concubine."

In the dark night, there is only a lamp on the table, the light of the fire is weak, but it is enough to see clearly.

After a long while, Wei Huan still kept his eyes fixed on him, "My lord has caught my concubine."

It wasn't until Xiao Youqing cried out in pain that she came back to her senses and let go, "Sorry, I..."

"If the prince is afraid, go to bed."

Wei Huan turned over and faced the wall, not accepting Princess Chu's understanding, "As long as it's in the palace, it's the same anywhere."

He heard a voice from the pillow again, "It's still early, go back and rest, you have to get up at five o'clock, and you have to go to Da Nei to say hello at dawn, you can't rest for the whole day."

Xiao Youqing stretched out his hand and gently pulled the brocade quilt around her waist, covered her up before getting up, "Concubine resigns."

"Wait a minute!" Wei Huan turned around, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, "Leave the lamp behind."

"..." Xiao Youqing hung the hand holding the lamp, "It turns out that the prince is afraid of the dark."

At this moment, she remembered that King Chu was only a 17-year-old boy.

— Slightly! ——She gently put down the lamp.

After taking a step, I heard King Chu's whisper again, "Forget it, you can put it out."

Xiao Youqing said in a daze, "Isn't the prince afraid?"

"If you light a lamp in a room, people outside will definitely notice it."

Xiao Youqing had no choice but to turn off the lights and go in as she said. She was used to the night road, and it was not difficult for her to touch the dark. She came out after a short time, wearing an extra fur coat.

Xiao Youqing went to King Chu's couch and sat down, "Your Highness, please sleep peacefully, my concubine is here to watch over you, don't worry, no one will come in, and no one will try to harm your Highness."

Wei Huan looked at the black shadow of the woman and was speechless for a long time.

"are not you sleepy?"

Xiao Youqing looked at the still darkness by the window, "I don't feel sleepy after waking up, and I'm still lying down."

"Then you... talk to me."

Xiao Youqing turned to look at her, looking at the person who seemed less indifferent, a little surprised, "I used to have a younger brother who was the same age as the prince, he was also afraid of the dark, and woke up crying every time in the middle of the night, every time... It takes a while for my concubine to coax me to fall asleep."

She saw Xiao Youqing's eyes full of loneliness when she spoke, "Then where is your brother now?"

"He had a serious illness when I was eight years old, and he died not long after. It was the winter of the seventh year of Daye. At that time, His Majesty had just returned from a victorious battle. The Duke's Mansion... didn't even dare to arrange funerals."

"It's been seven years since the great cause... I was only five years old... I also fell ill and almost died in the Zhaohua Pavilion. His Majesty came back from the conquest. Zhao Wang was slightly injured on the battlefield, and he relapsed when he returned to Da Nei, which shocked the entire Imperial Academy. The medical officer's hospital, so all the medical officials and doctors went to the Kunning Palace where Concubine Shu lived, but the elder sister cried and begged her majesty, but she didn't send the imperial doctor."

From the amnesty granted by King Chu when he was born, she could guess that the emperor definitely didn't like it. The inner palace was all dependent on the emperor's favor. Even worse than ordinary people.

"There is no imperial doctor, what about the prince?"

"Later, it was a young doctor who secretly ran to Zhaohua Pavilion, and I was able to return to heaven."

"The doctor?"

"It's my mother's childhood friend, and now she's the deputy envoy of the Imperial Academy, and also the exclusive imperial physician in charge of diagnosing my pulse."

"What kind of old friend can do such a thing? Not everyone dares to take the crime of deceiving the emperor." Xiao Youqing asked, "Will you not be afraid if the prince tells me this?"

"You know the king's most important secret, what else can compare to it now? I tell you, I want to say that if you need a doctor in the future, you can just go to Deputy Envoy Sun. He can believe it."

"My concubine thanked the prince for his guidance and trust."

The author has something to say: Regarding the explanation of titles, the Song Dynasty liked to call people according to their ranking. The prince called the king of Chu the sixth brother, the king of Zhao the third brother, the king of Zhao called the king of Chu and the sixth brother, and parents could call their own sons in the same way.

And my arrangement in the article is like this, Lang is more kind, loved by elders, or between lovers~ Brother’s words are quite satisfactory, and they are often called in the family.

Different scenes, environments, and different mental states of characters will have different names.

In addition, there is also a reason for letting the princess know that Xiao Huan is a woman too early. I don’t really want Xiao Huan to be liked by the princess under the identity of a "man", and then just to play around with someone who I only love you... forget it Bar…

Both of them are actually very gentle people, easily attracted, and both are good at teasing.

In addition, happy new year everyone, don’t worry you won’t be abused, just wait for the candy~

I hope everyone is safe~
