Reborn as King again

Listening to the song from the courtyard, Brother Huang's smile, his words, the moment before his death, everything is vivid in his memory.I quickly asked the young monk beside me, "Who is playing this piece?"

The little monk replied: "It's Daoist Qingyan."

Taoist Qingyan?I heard it very familiarly, and looked up at the plaque in front of the courtyard, with the words "Qingyanyuan" written on it.So I continued to ask: "Taoist Qingyan should be a nun, right? Why is she in Taimiao?"

The little monk looked at me suspiciously, as if to say, why don't you know?But soon he regained his composure, and answered me, "Taoist Qingyan is the empress of the first emperor and Emperor Yi, Empress Xia."

Empress Xia? !The bitch who killed the emperor's brother?So how come here?No wonder I think the words "Taoist Qingyan" are so familiar to me, isn't this exactly the name of Empress Xia.And now, shouldn't she stay in Qinglian Temple next to the imperial mausoleum and become a nun, chanting sutras and chanting Buddha?How can there be leisure and elegant playing of the piano here.A burst of anger suddenly came to my heart, and I tried my best to suppress him. Now I have to figure out what's going on, and I asked with emotion and anger: "Isn't Daoist Qingyan just me?" How could she come to Taimiao if she is not staying in Qinglian Temple?" According to the Datong system, if the concubines of the previous emperor did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, even the empress would have to shave their hair and become a nun. Going to Qinglian Temple to pray for the late emperor, to put it bluntly, is waiting to die.

The little monk thought for a while, and said: "The poor monk remembers that this is what the Empress Dowager meant." The little monk paused, recalling the events of the year, "It seems that the Empress Dowager couldn't bear to see the young Empress Xia in Qinglian Temple. Suffering, so she was specially allowed to lead her hair to practice, and sent a few nuns to take care of her daily life. The empress dowager also often came to see her"

Hearing what the little monk said, I really wanted to rush in and strangle that Empress Xia to death.After the emperor's brother passed away, I wanted to settle accounts with her first, but the queen mother begged for mercy, saying that Empress Xia was young and widowed, and she had to go to Qinglian Temple to wait for her death. survive.In fact, Qinglian Temple is not as good as Lenggong, and death is worse than life, so I didn't care about her anymore. I didn't expect that Empress Xia's methods are so clever, and she can let the queen mother keep her in the capital. The queen mother does often come to Taimiao. I thought she was missing the former emperor, but I didn't expect to come to see this bitch!

Empress Xia, formerly known as Xia Zhisu, is the older sister of Xia Zhirou who has been executed by me.Apart from seeing her at the funeral of the emperor's brother, I don't even want to see her again!In my memory, Xia Zhisu and Xia Zhirou are basically two types of people. It is said that Xia Zhisu is the person in the Xia family whose appearance is most similar to the mother's queen, so the mother loves her very much and treats her as her own daughter. She is scheming and cunning, and always makes the queen mother very happy. The relationship between the emperor's brother and her has always been very bad, but the mother's queen always scolds the emperor's brother.After the emperor's brother died, instead of blaming her, the queen mother felt that it was very pitiful for her to be alone in the world.

Now that I'm here, I'll go meet her for a while. She uses her mother to stay in the capital, so I want to see what else she can cause.Thinking of this, I walked into the Qingyan Courtyard.

The courtyard of Qingyan Courtyard is not big, with only three rooms, the atmosphere is not deserted at all, but there is a feeling that the younger days get better and better.

There was an elm tree in the original center of Qingyan Courtyard, and there was a stone table and bench under the elm tree. I saw a woman in green clothes, sitting under the elm tree and playing the piano. There was a trace of sadness and loneliness in her eyes. I think of this woman. It's my sister-in-law, Xia Zhisu.

Xia Zhisu is about 25 years old this year, but she is well maintained. No matter how you look at it, she is only eighteen or nineteen years old. She is round and beautiful, with full lips. It is true that she is more beautiful than her younger sister. Although the style of "Green Water Source" is quiet and elegant, it should also belong to the happy and relaxed category, but when this song popped out of Xia Zhisu's hands, it was full of longing and pain. If it weren't for me, I would have known her a long time ago As a person, I must think that she is still thinking about the emperor brother.

Xia Zhisu didn't panic when she saw me, she stood up generously, saluted me, and said, "All blessings, Your Majesty." She had known for a long time that I was going to come to Taimiao today, and deliberately played the emperor's brother's music, nothing more than to arouse my attention.

"Sister-in-law Huang." As I said, I walked forward slowly and looked at the guqin in her hand. It was a high-end product at first glance. It would be impossible to take it down without a hundred taels of silver in the Qinzhai. Zhisu eats fast every day, and still can be white and tender. This little life is not bad.After the last life, I no longer write my emotions on my face, and I look the same to everyone, I said: "It has been six years since Brother Huang passed away."

As soon as I mentioned Brother Huang, Xia Zhisu's eyes turned red, and she said: "Your Majesty, don't call me Huangsao, I am no longer Empress, please ask me to call me Daoist Qingyan."

I pretended to be surprised and said: "Why is this? Since you are my emperor's first wife, you are naturally my emperor's wife."

Xia Zhisu glanced at me, as if guessing what I really thought about her in my heart, and only heard her say quietly: "Why is this the emperor, I think you should have heard about it a long time ago, the relationship between me and your emperor brother It's not good, everyone outside said that your brother died young because of me, the emperor doesn't have to pretend to give me a good look."

She is quite self-aware, and she is smarter than her younger sister.I reached out to touch the guqin and said: "But what I heard from the sound of the emperor's sister-in-law's piano just now is the emperor's wife's longing for the emperor's brother. I think there must have been some misunderstanding between you back then. This song The song was created by the emperor's brother himself, if the emperor's sister-in-law didn't play this song with a heart, I am afraid that the world will forget this song."

What I said was extremely earnest and eloquent.No matter how scheming Xia Zhisu was, it was just a daughter's house. She had been alone here for so long, and she hadn't heard such touching words for a long time. Xia Zhisu covered her face and cried, saying: "I...I I really miss your brother emperor." I don't know how much of her tears are real.

I comforted me with words: "Sister-in-law, don't cry, the emperor's brother will be sad when he looks at it in the sky." Then I said: "It's hard for me to come to the Taimiao, since you can play the music of the emperor's brother, then Can you play it again so that I can remember Brother Huang?"

Xia Zhisu nodded, wiped away tears, sat down slowly, and continued to play the song "Green Water Source".Listening to this song, my thoughts drifted back to many years ago.The scene when me, Brother Huang and Xiao Batian were making a fuss around my father, queen and queen.In fact, when the prince was the prince, the prince had a concubine. The concubine was a male concubine who used to be the companion of the prince. The two couples are deeply in love, and it is also a good story in the harem.Later, when the emperor became the emperor, many ministers wanted to send their daughters to the palace in order to consolidate the power of the family. The emperor refused to agree, but his princess was a man, and it was not easy for a man to get pregnant. He Wenliu didn't fight for anything, so the emperor couldn't hold back his mother, so he had to accept a few concubines, and among these concubines was Xia Zhisu.The emperor's brother had been enthroned for less than two months, and he planned to make his crown princess the queen, but the crown princess died suddenly overnight, without any warning in advance, and the imperial doctors couldn't find out the reason.Later, because of his filial piety to his mother, the emperor made Xia Zhisu his queen.But that Xia Zhisu is very high-minded, always thinking of interfering with the emperor's affairs, killing many people whom the emperor favored, the emperor has often had feelings with Xia Zhisu, but Xia Zhi Every time Su went to the queen mother to reason, the mother always felt that the emperor's brother didn't like Xia Zhisu who became the queen because of the death of the concubine, so she defended her everywhere.As time went by, the emperor's brother stopped talking to the queen mother.Brother Huang is the elder brother, so he seldom talks about these things to me and Xiaoba. Besides, I left the palace early, and I also learned about Xia Zhisu's words and deeds from Xiaoba.A few years later, the emperor's brother was disheartened, thinking about the deceased princess, and finally died in depression.And my sister-in-law Xia Zhisu was supposed to go to Qinglian Temple to accompany the green lantern, shaved her hair to become a nun, and lived a life that was worse than death, but what about reality?But she still stayed in the capital, living a nourishing life under my nose.Thinking of this, I feel chills in my heart, the members of the Xia family are indeed not good people, I must not keep any of them, and get rid of them all!

After a while, Wanfu walked up to me and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wen is looking for you."

"En." I echoed.Seeing that I was about to leave, Xia Zhisu stopped the sound of the piano and planned to stand up to see me off. Her eyes were filled with reluctance, which made her not stand still for a while. She stepped on her skirt and leaned forward. to fall.I quickly caught her with one hand, held her in my arms, and held her tender white hand, with an extremely ambiguous posture.

Xia Zhisu is also a widow no matter what, so naturally she can't have such an intimate behavior with a man. She blushed, turned her head away, and didn't dare to look at me. She pushed me away with both hands, and I followed her actions , told her to stand still, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Huang, be careful."

"Yes... yes." Xia Zhisu lowered her head. She has been a widow for six years, and she hasn't smelled masculinity in such a long time. Besides, she is a man like me who has the temperament of an emperor. She must be very embarrassed now.

I said maliciously, "Then I'm leaving."

"Poverty to send the emperor off." Xia Zhisu bowed his head and saluted me again.I took two steps, stopped, turned around and asked with a smile: "If I still want to listen to "Green Water Source" in the future, can my sister-in-law still play a song for me?"

Xia Zhisu raised her head and smiled, her smile was so generous and elegant, her eyes were full of joy and hope, the same as her sister's eyes when she met me for the first time, she said: "It's the honor of the poor. .”

I snorted coldly in my heart, how could Xia Zhisu stay honestly in the Taimiao, eat fast and chant Buddha, I am afraid that she is planning how to return to the palace all the time, she misses her palace and her empress throne.
