Reborn as King again

The queen mother told Zhou Ling a few more words about the queen, and Zhou Ling agreed repeatedly. Judging from Zhou Ling's posture, he seemed to be very afraid of the queen mother, probably because he was scared by the queen mother in the Changhuan Palace before.

Not long after, my mother planned to leave, and asked me to send her to the gate of Fengyi Palace. I knew she had doubts in her heart, and she didn't want Zhou Ling to hear our conversation.

I walked beside the queen mother, and when we walked to the front of the palace with her, the queen mother didn't speak, until I bowed to send her away, the queen mother said: "Huanger, do you really like Zhou Ling?"

I was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the queen mother meant by these words, I smiled and said, "What does the queen mother mean?"

"It's nothing." The queen mother looked at me suspiciously, and said lightly: "The Ai family always thought that you liked Concubine Wen, and you didn't make Concubine Wan the queen, and the Ai family thought that you didn't want to make Concubine Wen sad. I didn't expect that Zhou Ling would appear on the way, Huanger, what are you thinking?"

Knowing the son is like the mother, the mother's observation is indeed subtle, I said to the mother with a serious and serious attitude: "I like Zhou Ling, just like the emperor's brother liked the crown prince back then. If you like someone, you should give him the best," I continued. He said in a negotiating tone: "Mother, when Zhou Ling becomes the queen, you can give me some pointers and don't make things difficult for him, okay?" If you want to deceive others, you should first deceive your own relatives.

When the queen mother heard me mentioning the emperor and the princess, her body trembled, but she recovered quickly, and she smiled and said: "Okay, the Ai family promises you, the Ai family will never embarrass Zhou Ling, and will not embarrass the emperor. Be human."

I went back to the main hall of Fengyi Palace again. Zhou Ling was still in a mess there. He didn't know what happened today. Concubine Wan came, and then I, the emperor, came again. Seeing Concubine Wan begging hard, not only did I not give up the idea of ​​becoming a queen, but also let me take away the custody of Prince Li Yi.Then the queen mother began to tell him a bunch of things that should be paid attention to as a queen, which made him feel that everything was so unreal.

After Zhou Ling saw me, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I... I am no longer a queen, you should let me out of the palace, I'd better go and be a male concubine for Fang Yuanwai."

If it was normal, I would definitely be angry. How could anyone let the queen not be a concubine?But at this moment, instead of being angry, I smiled and said, "Why? Fang Yuanwai is prettier than me? Is he younger or richer than me?"

Zhou Ling looked at me with angry eyes, as if saying that you are still in the mood to make a joke. Zhou Ling thought about the scene just now, and said: "This palace is too scary. The eyes that Concubine Wan looked at me just now seemed to be Like killing me."

I raised my eyebrows, and didn't continue to answer his words, but said comfortingly: "You can be a queen at ease, I will definitely protect you."

Zhou Ling scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, actually, we have only lived together for a short time, and you don't know me very well. You say you like me because I am good-looking. When I get old and fade , you will definitely regret it, and I... I have no feelings for you, it is unfair for you to make me the empress." Zhou Ling finally said what he was holding back in his heart, and these words had troubled him a lot. long time.

I laughed, and then suddenly bit his full pink lips, a little rough but passionate, and after a long time, I let him go, and then pulled him to the chair and sat down.Zhou Ling's face was a little red, no one had kissed him like this before, he looked at me a little confused: "You..."

"There is nothing fair or unfair about feelings." I stretched out my hand, gently stroked the bangs on Zhou Ling's forehead, and said, "I just like you and want to make you queen, and I have the confidence to make you You like me too."

What else could Zhou Ling say, he could only blushed and lowered his head.

I said: "And what you said about Concubine Wan just now, she is just reluctant to let the crown prince adopt under your knee, she will figure it out after a while, you don't have to take it to heart."

Seeing that I mentioned the matter of the crown prince, Zhou Ling was also a little embarrassed. He said: "It would be better for the child to stay with the biological mother. I have no experience in raising children. Why don't you adopt the crown prince? If I have a child in the future , how should I explain it to my children?"

"The crown prince is already grown up. He lives in the East Palace and does not live with you. Adoption is just a formality. At most, the crown prince will greet you every day. You can go to the East Palace to see him when you have time. You don't have to accompany him. You don’t have to worry if you are accompanied by a tutor.” I resolved Zhou Ling’s problems one by one, and said, “You are a man, do you think it is easy for a man to conceive? Concubine Wen…” I remembered that I wanted to appease He Wenliu In the pain of bereavement, he simply turned into Gechtialo Yiyue, sowed seeds every day, and forced him to conceive, but later, seeing He Wenliu's dystocia, he felt so regretful that he was about to die. It's funny to think about that kind of contradictory mood now.

"What's wrong with Concubine Wen?" Seeing that I stopped talking halfway through my speech, Zhou Ling asked.

"It's nothing." I didn't plan to mention more about He Wenliu in front of Zhou Ling, and shifted the topic to Li Yi again, saying: "Yi'er must be raised by you. You are the queen. According to royal practice, the prince can only He is the eldest son of the queen, and Yi'er is my most beloved son. I just want to pass on the throne to him. In order to ensure Yi'er's status, I can only do this. You can't covet the crown prince, do you understand?" I spoke in a very serious tone, trying to make Zhou Ling think that I was seriously thinking about Li Yi.

"I understand." Zhou Ling smiled after hearing what I said, "It seems that the emperor really loves the prince, and I will definitely teach the prince well in the future."

So far, no one has any objection to the queen's canonization.Soon, not only in the capital, but also in Datong, and even in the entire Central Plains, everyone knew that Li Mujing, the emperor of Datong, fell in love with a new young man named Zhou Ling from a humble background. Zhou Ling became the queen, so Zhou Ling changed from a folk sparrow to a phoenix sitting beside the emperor.Immediately, Zhou Ling became famous in the Central Plains, and everyone said that he was a rare beauty, which made me, the emperor, obsessed with him.Even in the teahouse, some storytellers specially made up a story called "Zhou Ling Biography".

And in the palace, the eunuchs have long regarded Zhou Ling as the favorite concubine of the new generation. Before, even Jia Wanru or He Wenliu had never made me, the emperor, so caring.Even if Zhou Ling offended my favorite concubine, I didn't bother. For example, Zhou Ling wore a peony dance dress to perform dances in Changhuan Hall. The person who framed him thought that Zhou Ling would be severely punished by me this time, but he didn't. Thinking that not only was she not punished, but instead I made her the empress, then Concubine Wan lowered her figure and begged Zhou Ling not to engage in the canonization ceremony, but the canonization ceremony was still held as scheduled, and I also adopted Concubine Wan’s child to Zhou Ling, all my actions Everything I did showed that Zhou Ling was deeply in my heart, and I would do anything for him.

All the concubines in the harem went to Fengyi Palace to visit the future queen, but Jia Wanru and He Wenliu didn't go. Jia Wanru is now sad for Li Yi's custody. How could he go, but He Wenliu didn't go, which surprised me , even though He Wenliu can't socialize, the palace people around him should have reminded him, I think he didn't go on purpose.Zhou Ling had no opinion on this, he was not spoiled at all, he treated every concubine who came to visit him in Fengyi Palace with courtesy, very generous and decent.

The day before the canonization ceremony, I finished my meal alone in Qianlong Palace, and then went to the study to read a book. When I just picked up the book, Wan Fu entered the room and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wen please see me."

He Wenliu came to see me?This is something he rarely took the initiative to look for me. I was a little surprised. Why did you come to see me at this time?Tomorrow is the queen's canonization ceremony. If he stops me from being the queen, isn't it too late?

Seeing my hesitation, Wanfu said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to reject Concubine Wen, my servant."

"No," I said, "tell him to wait for me in the dormitory."

I wanted to read the book for a while, and then go to He Wenliu, but when I thought of He Wenliu waiting for me, I really didn't want to read any more. After flipping through a few pages, I put the book aside, got up and walked towards the dormitory go.

After entering the dormitory, He Wenliu, who was sitting on a chair waiting for me, hurriedly got up to greet me.I haven't seen him much recently, but he looks pretty good.

I pulled He Wenliu to sit down, and said with a smile, "What's the matter with Concubine Wen coming to see me today?" I asked Wanfu to pour a cup of tea and pass it to He Wenliu.

After He Wenliu took the tea, he looked at me, as if he didn't know what to say. It took him a long time to find the topic and asked, "Do you really want to make Zhou Ling your empress?" I nodded and said, "What's wrong?"

He Wenliu looked at me, and didn't know what to say. After a while, he said softly: "It's nothing, it's just my humble minister... I don't like Zhou Ling."

dislike?I don't think Zhou Ling has done anything to offend He Wenliu, so I said, "Why don't you like it?"

"Because he was wearing a dance skirt embroidered with peonies." He Wenliu explained the reason.I explained to him: "Zhou Ling was framed by others that time, and he will not do this again." In the palace, the peony belongs to He Wenliu alone.

He Wenliu looked at me and said with a wry smile: "I just said something casually just now, and the emperor just excused him. This is the first time you have spoken for others in front of me."

I know that He Wenliu likes me, very, very much. I didn't even disclose the matter of becoming a queen this time, so it's no wonder he came to me, but I'm very happy that he came to see me today and complained to me. , deliberately said: "Could it be that you are jealous?"

"Jealous?" He Wenliu shook his head, and said lightly, "Your Majesty, do you still remember when I first entered the palace? At that time, you were considered to be pampering me, but until Concubine Wan entered the palace, there was a time when I was in the harem." I saw you and Concubine Wan in the remote woods, you were walking side by side in the woods, chatting, your eyes were full of love for Concubine Wan, it was something I had never seen before, and I knew it at that time Your Majesty, where is your heart? That's why I only stayed in my palace, quietly planting peonies, and never dared to go out of the palace again. Even if you later noticed that Weichen was kind to Weichen, Weichen seldom walked out of his palace." He Wenliu stopped here, and after some ideological struggle, he still opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, Even if I am jealous, that person is Concubine Wan, you have no affection for Zhou Ling, how can I be jealous of him?"

I can't remember what happened when He Wenliu first entered the palace, because he was quickly ignored by me, but I still remember Jia Wanru, I liked her as soon as she entered the palace, and I have liked her for more than 20 years.The first time He Wenliu told me about me, he and Jia Wanru, He Wenliu loved me very humblely, so he never asked me about my other concubines. In fact, he was just hiding.I told him with a serious face: "Concubine Wen, if you like someone, you should give him the best. I like Zhou Ling, so I must make him the queen. Concubine Wen, you have never interfered with my canonization, but you But today I keep asking Zhou Ling, don’t you want to be queen too?”

"No!" He Wenliu immediately denied, his little hand was trembling, and he grabbed one of my hands that was on the tea table. I thought he would be like Jia Wanru, denying that he had any intentions for the queen's position, but he only listened to him. Said: "It shouldn't be like this when you like someone." I was stunned, He Wenliu was not entangled in the position of queen, but entangled in my liking Zhou Ling?

He Wenliu was a little emotional. He seemed unwilling to believe that I personally confessed my feelings for Zhou Ling. He said, "Do you really like Zhou Ling? This is not how you like someone. It's not about giving him the best, but about giving him the best." It should be given to the one who suits him best. If you really like Zhou Ling, you won’t directly canonize him from a new prince, but slowly promote him, so as not to offend the red-eyed people in the harem, and You will not offend the ministers of the court. If you really like Zhou Ling, you know that Zhou Ling came from a humble background, so you would not confer his father a hereditary Marquis with a lot of salary, but give real power to improve The status of his natal family. If you really like Zhou Ling, you should have your own children with him, instead of taking other people's children and adopting them to him. Your Majesty, liking someone is not to push him to the forefront, but to put him on the spot It’s better to put him behind his back to protect (Xiao Liu, didn’t you realize that the emperor treats you like this? Sure enough, your IQ is flawed~). What you said just now is not the truth, right?”

He Wenliu has become smarter, and his analysis is quite correct. I chose Zhou Ling to be the queen because I saw that he came from a humble background and his background is easy to control. As for his beauty, it just happened to be an excuse for me to fall in love with him.

I reached out and raised He Wenliu's chin so that he faced me. Instead of answering his words, I asked, "You said that I have no affection for Zhou Ling, so how much affection do you think I have for you?"

He Wenliu was a little confused by my question, thought for a while and said, "It's more than him anyway."

I was quite self-aware, so I smiled and said, "Then Concubine Wen, how much affection do you have for me?"

He Wenliu didn't think about it this time, and answered directly and positively: "It must be more than you."

What He Wenliu meant was that he liked me more than I liked him. I was in a good mood, but He Wenliu's expression was ugly. I didn't care about him so much, so I just lifted him up by the waist with one hand. He Wenliu was frightened by my action After a jump, he began to struggle and said, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

"I asked you to wait for me in the dormitory, of course I wanted you to serve me." I patted He Wenliu's small buttocks, and said, "Don't move around, be careful not to fall to the ground."

Once He Wenliu was beaten by me like this, he immediately stopped making trouble obediently, and then I threw him on the dragon bed, and the clouds turned upside down.

After some joy, He Wenliu sat up, picked up the single clothes on the bedside table, put them on his body, and planned to leave, but I grabbed He Wenliu's arm and refused to let him go. He Wenliu turned his head and said helplessly: "Your Majesty Don’t you dislike people staying in your Qianlong Palace?”

"You are an exception." I remember that on the first night of my rebirth, I let He Wenliu stay here overnight.I just don't want He Wenliu to leave now, and said: "You haven't told me why you came to see me today."

"There is no particular reason." He Wenliu pulled his arm out of my hand, stood up and turned his back to me and said, "I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and tomorrow is the canonization ceremony. I guess I won't see you for some days, so today Just came to see you."

"Then just watch it for a while longer." As I said that, I forced He Wenliu back to the bed again, pressed him under me, slid one hand down, and began to rub his softness, He Wenliu hurriedly stopped my behavior , grabbed my restless hand, and said with some embarrassment: "Tomorrow, I will attend the canonization ceremony. If you come again, I will not be able to get up tomorrow. Can you let me go?"

"Not good," I pulled his two arms up, one hand grabbed his wrist and fixed it on the head of the bed, and the other hand continued to restless, I said: "Don't you like Zhou Ling, don't you tomorrow?" Is it not in your favor to go to the Canonization Ceremony?"

"En~~ah~~ take it easy." He Wenliu's most sensitive part was moved up and down by me, and it became a little hard again. He said intermittently: "I...I don't like Zhou Ling, but...I hate him .”

"Why do you hate him?" He Wenliu's attitude changed so quickly. He just told me that he didn't like Zhou Ling, but now he said he hated him.

He Wenliu looked at me, but his eyes were full of lust, but he couldn't get it out, "Because...because...~~en~~ You admitted that you like him in front of me, oh~~, ah~~" He Wenliu's coquettish cry was to me It is the best aphrodisiac. Hearing him yell twice made me hard. I bent down and blew into He Wenliu's ear, talking about the conditions and said: "Concubine Wen, if you serve me well tonight, You don't have to attend the queen's canonization ceremony tomorrow, and I will give you a privilege so that you don't have to greet the queen every day, how about it?"

On the second day, at the empress’s canonization ceremony, all civil and military officials, concubines and concubines of the harem came together, only two people were not present, one was He Wenliu who was so tired in the Qianlong Palace and was still asleep, and the other was in the Baoge Palace that he was sick Jia Wanru from the bed.
