He came to the world in late autumn, and the sky was rare and cloudless, warm and comfortable. Although the weather was good, the woman who gave birth to him still died of exhaustion.

Even if he has a very honorable father, he will not be noticed and respected.Because his mother was only a cleaning lady, the Holy Majesty ignored her when she got lucky for a while. If she hadn't been pregnant with the dragon seed, the man would never have remembered her existence in his mind.

Unlike other concubines who were pregnant, she was not taken seriously because she was too close to the empress to conceive. She didn't even have a decent place to give birth, and the price of dying in childbirth was just getting the title of Tan Jieyu.

She may be freed from this, and no longer have to face the cruel struggle in the palace, but for the young prince, losing his biological mother is a life-threatening matter, and his neglect seems to have come to an end when Tan Jieyu passed away. Doomed.

In this labyrinth-like palace, the first road he recognized was from Ganlu Courtyard to the Imperial Dining Room, which was an extremely important road for whether he could have a full meal.

When he was sensible, he also learned how to protect himself and how to cope with loneliness.Although he has the status of a prince, he has no one to take care of him. Every time the chief eunuch appoints someone to serve him, within a few months those people will find all kinds of excuses to transfer him away, leaving him alone in the Ganluyuan .

His taciturn character was formed in the long-term loneliness. Anyway, no one wants to hear what he said, so it would be better not to say anything to be pure.

But he still longed for warmth and company, so he was very kind to every little eunuch sent to serve him, and he did everything he could do by himself, never putting on airs like the prince's elder brother, but they still said to stay There is no way out here, leaving him one by one, leaving the room full of loneliness and desolation to accompany him alone.

Maybe that's why he couldn't resist Da Hee's presence.

He loves to smile so much, that smiling face gave him thin but precious warmth, warming his frozen and lonely heart all year round.

Duoxi is the first person who is willing to listen to his words. As long as he sees Duoxi's smiling face, all the loneliness and loneliness will disappear instantly, leaving only the warmth and warmth. He also stretched out his hand involuntarily, trying to pull Duoxi into his arms .

So, he couldn't help but make a promise, promising to be with him for the rest of his life.

On the day he clicked on the son, he should have chosen Duoxi, and then they would live poorly but happily in Ganluyuan.

But the elder brother of the prince clicked on Duoxi, he was shocked and lost and pointed at the boy named Duoshou beside him.Just because of the loss of Daxi, it doesn't matter who stays by his side, anyone can

, it doesn't matter to anyone, anyway, they will find a reason to escape from Ganluyuan soon.

"Poverty..."

On the day the young man stepped into Ganluyuan, he didn't intend to change his name. Originally, he just wanted to ask the young man, "Can you live a poor life?"

After thinking about it, why did he say that the young man will soon realize that staying here is worse than being an eunuch, and then he will leave as quickly as the people around him before, looking for a better life.

But the word "poverty" had already come out of his mouth, the young man looked up at him suspiciously, those innocent eyes forced him to say something to smooth things over.

Therefore, he followed suit and said that the name Duoshou was not pleasant, and changed his name to "Qingping", which means tranquility and peace in the world.

Then the young man smiled, the innocent and innocent smile was so dazzling that it hurt his eyes, and there was a kind of tangled, complicated and indescribable emotion welling up in his heart, but he couldn't interpret it, and he was unwilling to interpret it, anyway, the young man would disappear soon No, why should he pay so much attention to him.

Shao Jin never thought that Qingping not only did not leave, but also gave him the most precious thing in the world - home.

When Qingping boiled water for him to wash his face for the first time, when Qingping cooked for him for the first time, when Qingping helped him celebrate his birthday for the first time, when Qingping made shoes for him for the first time... a thick Unresolved feelings also formed in his heart, he was grateful that this person stayed, he liked this person's gentle gesture, and he never wanted to lose this person.

He doesn't know how to define this feeling, so he regards it as a kindness, which is similar to but not the same as the love for Duoshan. He can miss Daxi while being close to Qingping, and there is no conflict between the two.

Maybe it's like having an extra brother, a cute little brother who's close to him.

But the dish with the aphrodisiac ruined everything, he actually hugged Qingping, what's more damning is that the medicine was actually given by Qingping!

As a result, he could no longer look at Qingping as he looked at his siblings.Because from Qingping's eyes, he actually saw longing, admiration, fear of being hurt, and all the emotions that only exist between lovers.

It turned out that Qingping loved him.

In the end, he chose to compromise.

When sick and dying, he learned to compromise and the fear of drowning if he didn't save himself.

For the former, he just hopes that Qingping will be happier. Anyway, Duoxi is already the prince's man, and no matter how much he catches him, he will never be able to touch him. So let Qingping be happy, let Qingping... let Qingping have him.

It wasn't until many years later that he suddenly looked back and realized how happy he was at that time. What Qingping brought him was something he had longed for all his life, warmth.

And the latter...

The serious illness that almost killed him made him understand that if he continued to stay powerless in the palace, he would die sooner or later. It was one thing for him to leave alone, but it was another thing to leave Qingping alone. So he decided to give it a go, anyway, no matter how miserable it was, it couldn't be more miserable than the current situation.

So he drew his bow fully, aimed at the bull's-eye, and beat the prince's brother for the first and last time.

Surprisingly, not only the prince but also the emperor father, but Junwu joked that the emperor father said beforehand that he would reward the winner with something, and he won.

He doesn't want the position of prince, he doesn't want the seal of the great general, what he wants is the status of his dead mother, in this palace, if the birth mother doesn't have a certain status, he won't get anything.On the contrary, if his biological mother has a concubine, no matter how bad he is in the future, he will have a county king to sit on.

He doesn't ask for much, as long as there is a world for him to survive, he is satisfied with a county king.

On the day his father agreed to his request, he was so excited and proud, but he never thought of mentioning it to Qingping. His personality was too silent. I think Qingping understands the importance of this matter.

This neglect has been maintained for a long time. Soon after he became an adult, he was awarded the title of Changshun County King and his mansion.

The word Chang Shun was intended to remind him to be obedient to his father and elder brother, and not to fight for what he didn't deserve. He smiled lightly at this title. He only beat the crown prince once in the archery competition, and his father was worried that he would fight for power Seize the position.

That period of time was so short that he had no time to confirm his true status before it ended.

After a long time, he often thinks of it when the night stars rise, thinking that Qingping will prepare a hot dinner for him in the county palace, and then give him a bright smile like a star; remembering that Qingping will rub his back for him when he is bathing. ... These days are obviously the same as those in Ganluyuan, but they are obviously different. They are warm and peaceful, and he can't help but look forward to a brighter future.

In fact, the opportunity really came. The elder brother of the prince sent him to the south to investigate the rice shortage case. He knew that this was an opportunity. There must be a place for him when he ascends the throne.

He brought a few familiar guards from the past to go south together, trying to do things the best.

These few guards were all known by him when he was still in the Ganluyuan, and he had no power, no power, and no need to make friends with him, so he competed martial arts with the guards in the palace, and became acquainted with the military officers over time, even the Minister of the Ministry of War He praised his martial arts when he didn't know his true identity.

But Shao Jin never expected that on the way back to Beijing, the imperial guards would pick him up.

Originally, the commander of the imperial army wanted him to enter the palace directly, but he always felt uneasy, thinking that it was unknown whether he would survive this trip, so he went back to Changshun County Prince's Mansion, and met Qingping for a short time. I don't know what's the point of this time-wasting side.

Just seeing Qingping, I feel that everything he has worked so far has meaning.

After entering the palace, Shao Jin knew that the world had turned upside down. During the time he went south, the third prince He Wang poisoned and killed the crown prince but failed, and his father ordered to kill He Wang. Then the crown prince's condition improved first, and then died of poison quickly. Everyone was caught off guard.

In just a few days, he became the only surviving prince of his father.

How ridiculous, he, the prince who is as small and weak as dust, has become the sole heir, and the world will be owned by him in a blink of an eye, changing with his likes and angers.

For a moment, all the anger that had been suppressed for a long time welled up in his chest, and even he didn't understand where there was so much resentment and anger.

Seemingly seeing his hatred, the seriously ill emperor said lightly.

"Back when I was pregnant with you, Tan Jieyu only wanted to stay away from the court and fight for a safe life. I originally thought that with your elder brother in charge of the world, I could make you an idle county king. Unfortunately, the current situation is no longer as your dead mother wished." The emperor sighed, and with a few words, he put all the responsibility for neglecting him for many years on the late Tan Jieyu.

Shao Jin didn't answer, just nodded, pretending to be obedient and obedient.

He knew that his father's words were not true, but he just wanted to appease his resentful and turbulent heart, lest he want to destroy the world as soon as he ascended the throne.

The father is seriously ill, and he has to strengthen his energy to take care of everything, and the illness is even worse.

Shao Jin looked at his father, without the slightest bit of worry or discomfort, but just looked at him coldly, wondering when this man would die.

Then, the emperor arranged for him to stay in the side hall, and invited senior officials of Degao to give lectures for him, and asked him to sit aside to listen to the government, hoping that he would be ready for enthronement in the shortest possible time.

That night, several ministers who got the news all came to visit, and their words were very respectful, which was quite different from the previous attitude of treating him as nothing.

He coped with what these people said on the surface, but he had his own plans in his heart, and he had ideas about what to do in the future.

However, there was one person he couldn't deal with so perfunctorily.

- Congratulations!

Duoxi's face was not much different, it was still a round and soft face, and the tears instantly awakened his long-sealed feelings.

Originally, he had never forgotten Duoxi, but he no longer remembered it.

Duoxi came to Xingye, but didn't say a word when he saw his face, but when he saw his red eyes, he lowered his head and wiped away his tears.

In an instant, time seemed to go back to five years ago, they were still young and naive, with the hope of staying together for life, there was no prince and... no Qingping between them.

He got up and walked towards him, holding that cold little hand, without saying anything, and there was no need to say more.

In the past five years, he has not forgotten Duoxi, he just gave up, but now Duoxi is standing in front of him, how can he restrain the urge to hold her in his arms.

He held Ta-hee, tightly.

That night, the scenery was beautiful.

The next day after entering the palace, he was named King De, so the crown prince named Huairen.

The emperor seemed to predict that the end of his death would give him an independent palace. Anyway, he would enter the court soon.

In front of the queen's palace, she begged the emperor to make the decision, and must find out the real culprit who poisoned Prince Huairen.

The emperor's response was extremely flat, he just said flatly: The imperial doctors all said that Prince Huairen died because of poison in his veins, Shao Feng had already been beheaded, why is it that the real murderer is unknown?

Then he ignored the queen's cries, and concentrated on telling him about the relationship between the people in the court, hoping that he could comfort him and sit on the throne.

Back at the side hall, Duoxi was still there, looking at him with squinted eyes and a smile on his round face, he moved forward a few steps and stopped suddenly, feeling vaguely wrong in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

In any case, he was still full of joy to see Daxi, and even though he was silent, he still smiled more.

Later, Qingping sent someone to the palace to find out the news, and he asked that person to take Duoxi back to the palace, so that it would be easier for Duoxi to leave Prince Huairen's place earlier to deal with the future. His people are gone.

Although his father was an educated youth, he didn't say much about his actions. In his heart, Duoxi is just a male favorite. In the future, he will at most be concubine and cannot become the mother of a prince. Naturally, he will not be able to shake the state. Since he likes it, he can do whatever he wants I mean to do it.

Not long after, the father fell into a coma, and he temporarily supervised the country, assisted by the prime minister.

Nominally assisted by the prime minister, in fact almost everything is decided by the prime minister alone. Although the prime minister has a respectful attitude, it still cannot change the fact that he is in charge of real power. He just sits there and listens like a decoration, occasionally asking questions or interjecting a few words Opinions, but the final decision is still the prime minister.

Even so, he was neither impatient nor angry, he understood that he had nothing but his status at the moment, and it would take some time to accumulate strength, so it was not appropriate to attack the prime minister at this moment.

In addition to state affairs, he also asked his guards and friends to find out the truth about the death of Prince Huairen. The emperor could ignore the queen's request and put aside the matter of Prince Huairen, but he could not.

In the future when he ascends the throne and the empress becomes empress dowager, he will definitely be required to investigate this matter thoroughly. He must first know the truth so as not to fall into a disadvantage.

Without the support of loyal ministers and good looks like him, and without the influence of foreign relatives, how can he lead the government and govern the country?Does he have to approach eunuchs like the bunch of foolish kings in history?But who should deal with the consequences of doing so?

Whether or not he finds a way to solve this problem, time is still running fast.

More than a month after he was appointed King De, his father woke up from a coma and called him to meet alone before summoning the ministers.

The sleeping hall was filled with the unpleasant smell of long-term illness and the rancid smell of decay and dying. The man who was about to die obviously wanted to say something, but he didn't know how much he could say.

"...Once a person reaches the pinnacle of power, it is easy to get lost, unable to see whether this person's loyalty is true, or his allegiance is only power. I thought you were the only one who could escape."

A man's dying words are good, and a man's sigh may be true.

Shao Jin didn't respond with a cold face, he didn't trust men from the bottom of his heart.

"You don't have to doubt my intentions. In the future, you will naturally understand whether my words are true or false. When everyone flatters you, you will find that life with nothing is real." The man saw through Shao Jin's silent questioning, and smiled. answer.

Shao Jin remained silent. Although the man in front of him was his father, they lacked affection and had little contact with each other. Now this man wants to convince him that everything is for his own good, which is ridiculous.

Then, the man quickly explained some things, including who can be hired and who should be careful, and all the things he had no time to say before must be said at this moment.

"The queen's lineage has to be eliminated, but they are still needed by the government at this time. If there is a chance in the future...you can figure it out."

Shao Jin answered yes in a low voice, keeping in mind the names of the men the man said.

Then, the man said a name he had never heard of.

"...I can't use him, so maybe you can't."

Shao Jin just nodded lightly and said he understood, he didn't think too much about the man's words, he didn't expect that man would become his extremely important help in a few years.

After the confession, the man told him to call the prime minister and six ministers to write a posthumous photo.

There are ten items in the emperor's last decree, nine of which are recorded in the posthumous photos, and the remaining one is... summoning the man he and Shao Jin mentioned to enter the palace to participate in the family sacrifice.

All concubines who were not pregnant moved into Taiheling, and those who had children went out of the palace with their children.

Then, the man who once held the world in his hands died in front of them.

***

On the same day, he sent someone to pick Qingping and Duoxi into the palace and place them in Guang'an Palace where the concubine lived.

That night he stood guard in the mourning hall, silent and dazed.

How kind was the person who poisoned Prince Huairen... so kind.

Although he is not familiar with Duoshan, he is also not unfamiliar. He has seen him chatting with Qingpingwo several times, and sending things from time to time...

He knows better how much he loves Qingping!

At the enthronement ceremony, the dragon robe was added to the body, the spirit was enthroned, and the world was amnesty. He also issued an edict to respect the empress as the empress dowager.

He silently carried out all the pre-planned affairs, tediously ordering one thing after another. In the past, no one would listen to him, but now they all wait for him to speak. The difference is too great for people to get used to.

That night, he went to Guang'an Palace.

It's hard to explain why his turbulent mood fluctuated, whether it was because of the collapse of his father, who had never been close to him, or because he was at a loss when he was about to ascend to the throne.

He was anxious to find peace, and wanted to meet the person who gave him a warm smile, Duoxi.

It was a wonderful, indescribable feeling, but not wonderful.

When he left Guang'an Palace, he deliberately went around to look at Qingping, but he was surprised to see Qingping sitting in front of the window and dreaming, with tears and sadness still on his face.

Shao Jin knew that Qingping must have seen him go to Duoxi's place.

He couldn't help stretching out his fingers to massage Qingping's frown, but he couldn't calm his sadness.

Suddenly, a little distressed.

During the family sacrifice, the Queen Mother really asked him to find out the real culprit who poisoned Prince Huairen.

He remained silent, neither accepting nor denying.Dealing with it must be done, but he doesn't have to rush to agree like a submissive slave.

The Empress Dowager was not in a hurry to force him to express, she shook her sleeves and left.

She knew that if the young emperor wasn't a fool, he wouldn't keep her waiting for too long.

Shao Jin is not stupid, he knows that the empress dowager should not be offended at the moment, so goodness must be done, instead of procrastinating and involving many people, it is better to cut the mess quickly and use the life of many kindness to appease the queen mother.

On the night of Duo Shan's death, he didn't go anywhere, he still stayed in front of the coffin, not to show his filial piety to the officials, but because he didn't want to go anywhere.

In fact, Shao Jin has treated him generously and kindly. He didn't investigate how many accomplices he had, and even promised not to offend his family. He also announced to the outside world that he died at the hands of Prince Huairen... Isn't that enough?Qingping will come to force him!

Before Qingping came that day, he ordered someone to draft an imperial edict to make Qingping a concubine Cheng, but he thought that this concubine could be used as a guarantor?

How good is Baoshan?

Why!

Unspeakable anger permeated Shao Jin's whole body, making him wish to tear Duo Shan into pieces, and was even more annoyed at Qing Ping, allowing him to kneel outside the hall and ignore him.

It was not until a long time later that Shao Jin knew that this feeling was jealousy, he hated Duo Shan like a rival, hating him as a prince was actually more powerless than being a male favorite.

***

The official imperial edict was written by Shao Jin himself, saying that Qingping served her wholeheartedly and was named Concubine Cheng.

"Concubine" is the highest position given to male favorites in the dynasty. If it is not extremely favored, it will not be given this position; the status of male favorites during the prince's time is relatively high, but most of them are only concubines or Jieyu. Dashu will only be named Zhaoyi.

He gave Qingping the imperial concubine, which is enough to express his importance.

... Qingping refused to accept the title.

Although Shao Jin was full of displeasure, he didn't pursue it. He knew that Duo Shan's death still needed time to settle down, and he didn't want to force him at this time.

Therefore, he temporarily put away the canonized imperial edict, and left the concubine Cheng to Qingping.

Thinking of Qingping again, he is the one who likes to be touched by others when he is in the bath. He drove away those eunuchs who were accompanying him to brush his back. ...an unspeakable weirdness.

He would always turn around to make sure that the person behind him was Qingping, and then he would be disappointed, and again, until he was so angry that he would drive all those people away and make him clean.

So, he called Qingping to sleep again.

No matter how much goodness is gone, it is not wise to fight for a dead person, it is time to mend the gap between them.

Besides, he misses him.

But this time Qingping still refused.

Shao Jin was furious and threw the concubine's imperial edict into the brazier and burned it. He wanted to make a decree to punish him several times, but he didn't know what crime to convict, so he had to give up in the end.

If Qingping only has kindness in his heart, he will fulfill him!In the future, they will go their own way and have nothing to do with each other.

Not long, the New Year's Eve is coming.

This year, due to the great funeral of the Tian family, there is still little joy even in the New Year. It is the first time in five years that Qingping is not seen at the New Year's Eve dinner.

While eating the sweet cake that must be eaten during the Chinese New Year, for a moment he thought that Qingping would definitely like the taste... Then his face turned cold, and he drove that ignorant person out of his thoughts.

He still doesn't know that next year's New Year will not be peaceful, and the next year will be the same... His emptiness and loneliness will continue for a long, long time.

Soon, the news of Qingping's madness spread to Shao Jin's ears, he didn't hear more about it, and he didn't send an imperial doctor there, he just kept silent, no one could guess his thoughts.

It was also that night that he hugged Duoxi again, the person he hadn't forgotten but didn't mention anymore in the past five years, but the feeling that something was wrong was stronger than the previous two times.

Daxi didn't ask him for status, but those eyes full of expectation were full of expectation, which made him extremely unhappy.

After the passion, he realized that five years was too long, and he no longer had the same feelings for Duoxi.

To him, Duoxi was like a pie in a poor life. It was crispy on the outside and juicy and delicious on the inside. It was so tempting to him who was hungry.

But after eating the pie, he realized that he had been eating white rice for five years. The sweetness of white rice, the richness of pickles, and the tenderness of fried chicken all filled his hunger. It was only then that he realized that he had long... long since ceased to desire pie.

Closing his eyes, it was Qingping who remained in his heart at last. It was Qingping who waved to him with a warm smile and served him a bowl of rice-flavored rice.

Qingping...
