Reborn as King again

When Duanmuchen faintly woke up from his sleep, I was leaning against his bedside.When he looked at me clearly, he sat up abruptly.

"You're awake." Just as I was about to go forward, I saw Duanmuchen, with his hands behind his back, pulled out the pillow behind him and threw it at me. The pillow didn't hurt much, so he just let it hit.

"You...don't come here..." Duanmuchen stepped back.

The bed was already small, and he kept moving back. Duanmuchen didn't care about the back, and just sat down, "Ah——"

Seeing that he was about to fall to the floor, thanks to my sharp eyesight and quick hands, I grabbed him firmly, otherwise his butt would hurt.

Duanmuchen was still panting about what happened just now with lingering fear, I looked at him like this, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you so afraid of me?"

Duanmuchen lowered his head and said nothing.

I used to have a very strange feeling for Duanmuchen, but it was only out of goodwill. Between interests and goodwill, I decisively chose interests.More than ten years have passed, and I met Duanmuchen again, and I still have a good impression, but there is no choice and conflict of interests.

I reached out and stroked Duanmuchen's hair, he couldn't dodge it but had no choice but to do so.He glanced at me and said indistinctly: "Bad guy, big bad guy."

I laughed out loud, "Do you know my name?"

"Hmph." Duanmuchen pouted, as if he didn't want to know at all.

"My name is Li Ji, you can call me Ji'er."

Afterwards, I went to Laiyi Hall almost every day, and sometimes I even took the memorials for correction, because I felt very relaxed when I was with Duanmuchen. Rumors said that he was crazy, but in my eyes, he was just more cheerful than before , I just love to laugh.

Of course Duanmuchen is not the person who is cheerful and loves to laugh, he will laugh at that Persian cat, and will be laughed at by Xiaolanzi, even his attitude towards Xiaoluzi is better than that of me.

I didn't give him a good first impression. Who told me to overpower him? In fact, I tried my best to please him, but the effect was not good.I don't care about this, I can't get tired of teasing Duanmuchen, but the eunuchs around him don't think so, especially Xiao Lanzi, who accompany Duanmuchen with trepidation, often winking at Duanmuchen, I am afraid that he will offend me.

If it were the emperor father, it would be putting him in limbo at the lightest.Father Huang likes to be pursued by others, and he likes others to figure out what he means, and he plays with those people like puppets on strings.I am different from my father, I will choose a person I love, I will pursue him, I like to take care of a person.

Before I knew it, autumn came, and today I went to Laiyi Palace to look for Duanmuchen again with great interest.Duanmuchen ignored me as much as he could, so when he saw me coming, he ignored me at all, and was very childish, wanting to play a little trick together, he smiled and said to the little green child behind me: " Eunuch Green, I have freshly dried peony tea here, do you want to try it together?" It was obvious that he wanted to win Little Lvzi over.

In the beginning, Xiaoluzi was terrified by Duanmuchen, but after a lot of times later, it was no surprise, Xiaoluzi thought of a reason casually, "I have a heavy tongue coating these days, and the imperial doctor said that I can't drink tea." gone."

"That's a pity."

"Peony tea?" I froze for a moment, feeling something was wrong.

The peony flower is the symbol of the concubine mother. Even if the concubine mother is gone now, there are no peony flowers in the harem except the Qingluan Palace. I asked, "Could you steal this peony flower from other palaces?" ?”

"You're the one who stole it," Duanmuchen immediately became unhappy, "Where will peonies bloom this season?"

I thought, this is true.

Xiao Lanzi in the room quickly explained: "This peony flower tea is bought from outside the palace by the servant. A few days ago, the servant Muxiu handed over the sign and left the palace."

I nodded to show that I knew, then I turned my head and said to Duanmuchen: "You were wrong just now, there are peonies in this season."

"Liar." Duanmuchen didn't believe me, he said, "In this season, only chrysanthemums are in bloom, and peonies have already bloomed."

"You don't believe me?" I asked.

Duanmuchen shook his head, absolutely not believing it.

"Then... let's make a bet, if there are peonies this season, you have to promise me one thing." I suggested.

"Just bet." Duanmuchen couldn't stand my provocation at all.

So I left Laiyi Hall with Duanmuchen, and went to the place where there are peonies, Qingluan Hall.

Qingluan Hall is the old residence of the concubine mother. Although others are gone, I don't want the peonies that the concubine mother loves to wither, so there are still people here to take care of them regularly.

"What kind of place is this?" Duanmuchen walked behind me, looking here and there, curious.

"This is where I lived with my concubine and sister when I was a child." I replied with a smile.

I took Duanmuchen to the dormitory where I lived when I was a child.My concubine planted a very special kind of peony in front of my bedroom door. The peony germinated in summer and bloomed in autumn.

When I came to the door of my bedroom when I was young, there really were big peony flowers growing there. It is daytime now, and the color of the peony flowers is snow blue. I remember it will turn blue at night.

The gardeners arranged the flowers and plants here very well, and the peonies were blooming coquettishly, so beautiful, Duanmuchen's eyes were straightened, he couldn't wait to walk to the peony bushes, lowered his head and sniffed the flowers Then I smiled and said to me: "This seems to be the first time I have seen peony flowers, so beautiful."

I also walked over, "Do you like it?" I said, I looked at a pleasing one, and thought about picking it off.

But who would have thought that before I could use any force under my hand, Duanmuchen slapped my hand, "You can't take it off."

Duanmuchen looked at me with puffy face, I couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Don't you like it, I'll pick one for you."

Duanmuchen said very seriously: "If you pick it, the flower will die. It's because you like it, so you can't pick it."

"Is that so," I asked, "Then the bet you made with me just now, does it still count?"

"En." Duanmuchen nodded, "What do you want me to promise you?"

"I want to go out of the palace, but there is no one to accompany me, so you can accompany me."

As soon as I said the words, Duanmuchen's eyes lit up, I knew a long time ago that he wanted to go out of the palace to play.

After a few days, I picked a day with good weather. As soon as I went to court in the morning, I went to find Duanmuchen in the Palace of Laiyi. It may be that I have been in contact with him recently, and I didn't do anything to scare him. Duanmuchen said yes I'm not so disgusted, even riding in the same carriage with me is not very repulsive.

The capital is always so bustling and bustling, with many small vendors and small stalls. Duanmuchen sees everything fresh, chirping like a little sparrow running out of a cage.

The capital has a large population, especially the bustling market, which is almost crowded with people.

Duanmuchen looked at this one for fun, that interesting one, walking around, I didn't pay attention for a while, and the person disappeared, and the few plainclothes guards who followed us not far away didn't notice when the person disappeared.

I quickly asked them to look around, and I started looking for people along the way.After almost a stick of incense, I saw Duanmuchen's figure under the elm tree at the intersection ahead, and he was also wandering around anxiously at this time.

I walked behind him, and called softly: "Duanmu."

Duanmuchen turned his head and saw me, his eyes turned red immediately, he choked up and asked: "Ji'er, I thought I was angry. You left me on purpose..."

I thought there was something wrong with my ears. This was the first time I heard Duanmuchen call my name. I felt warm in my heart. I smiled and said, "Why should I leave you on purpose? We just got separated. Isn't this here to find you?"

Duanmuchen sniffed and nodded, but he still seemed to have lingering fears. He directly grabbed my hand and held it tightly, "This way, we won't get separated."

I raised my eyebrows and asked, "Duanmu, do you like me?"

Duanmuchen blushed when he heard the words, and wanted to shake off my hand, but it was not that easy. I grabbed his wrist with my backhand, "Aren't you afraid of getting lost?"

"..."

I lowered my head and whispered in his ear: "Don't be shy, I like you too."

The matter between me and Duanmuchen was quickly spread inside and outside the palace, and I didn't want to hide it. When I was questioned by the ministers in the Golden Luan Hall, I admitted it without blushing. Not only did I admit it, but I also planned to make Duanmuchen my queen, and I didn't mean to accept my concubine.

How could the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty agree? !In the close part of the harem and the court hall, they are staring at such a big piece of fat as the queen.

The ministers immediately objected. Their reasons were very good. First of all, Duanmuchen is the concubine of my father and my elder. Even if there is no blood relationship, it is against the norms. .

I ignored the objections of the ministers on the spot, and sneered, my father and emperor can marry his sister-in-law, and the former queen is a concubine, why can't I come here? !There is also the question of Duanmuchen's identity, their ministers are well aware of it, the Duanmu clan has long since died out, what storms can be caused? !And I have also been on the genealogy of the Ouyang family. They questioned Duanmuchen's identity. Will they question my identity next time and rebel? !

The ministers were so blocked by me that they couldn't speak. They also knew my temperament. Like the father, they didn't listen to opinions at all.In the end, an old lady came forward and took a step back. She would not stop me from making Duanmuchen my empress, but he also hoped that I could think about it a little bit. He said: "Your Majesty, if you really like it, the old ministers can understand me. This has happened before, but you said that you don’t want to accept concubines, this...it’s unreasonable, Concubine Chen is older than you, and she is a man, so I’m afraid she won’t be able to leave you an heir, and you don’t want to accept concubines, Who should inherit your country from now on?!"

After hearing what the old matriarch said, the ministers in the hall responded one after another. They can become queens, but they also want to accept concubines.

Heirs are a problem, but I really can't touch someone I don't really feel like, it's boring to watch them.

The ministers didn't dare to be aggressive. If the rush made me angry, they would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

After a few days, I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, would it be good to adopt a prince from the collateral line? I told the ministers what I thought, and this was the biggest concession I could make. In the end, they Compromise, anyway, it will be fine if someone inherits the throne in the future.

As for the candidate for the successor, I have already made up my mind.Brother Dahuang had his precious son a year ago, and he named him Cheng Che. It is very appropriate to adopt this child under my name.

The ministers below think it's okay, but the key is whether the elder brother will agree or not, because the elder brother is very close to the prince Li Yaoyao, and the prince Yao has a lot of troops and is a master who can fight. If they quarrel Get up, there will be civil strife in Datong again.

In fact, the ministers are overthinking. I know Brother Dahuang very well. He must be very guilty, betraying me time and time again.

When I was in Yuncheng, I went through the matter from beginning to end. Although I didn't want to believe it, the reason why my father was able to confirm my identity so quickly at the beginning could only be the betrayal of the eldest brother, because after I was Before being taken prisoner, I only told Brother Dahuang, my real identity.

Now that he wants to adopt his child to me, this request is not too much, he owes me this!Of course, besides this, I am also afraid of Li Yao's influence. The child belongs to him and the eldest brother. With his child in my hands, how dare he act rashly.

After making up my mind, I drew up an imperial decree and sent people to Jiangqi City to convey my decree.As expected, the elder brother agreed, and soon, one month later, his son Li Chengche arrived in the capital with the envoy.
