Zhuo Qihua

Xiangfu Palace left everyone outside, and Emperor Kang Jing walked in alone.There are only three elderly people left in Xiangfu Palace, and they clean Xiangfu Palace every day.Since Emperor Yong'an abdicated, the owner of Xiangfu Palace rarely lived here.Most of the original items of Xiangfu Palace were also sent to the other palace in Tongling, in order to make room for the new owner who will take over later.But as one of the "sacred places" in Emperor Kang Jing's heart, he would not let any maid live in it, and he would leave rules after a hundred years.For the subsequent emperors, whoever dares to let his concubine live in Xiangfu Palace will be unfilial and will have to kneel in front of his ancestors for three days!Moreover, the one who was allowed to enter the Xiangfu Palace will be given death.

Walking into Shun's mother's study, many familiar furnishings in the room were gone.The pen and ink he had used on the desk had already been put away.Emperor Kang Jing sat down on the chair and raised his hand to caress the desk.In the past, Shun's parents were here, on this desk, teaching him science, teaching him novel knowledge, teaching him to be an adult, and teaching him to eventually become a crown prince who satisfied and assured his father.Without Shun's parents, he had already died in the childhood bout.Without Shun's parents, he might still be competing with other brothers for the throne.Without Shun's parents, he didn't know that this world would be so big, and the world outside Mata country was so vast.

In the dead of night, in a room where there was only one person, Emperor Kang Jing revealed his longing for Shun's mother and father.Shun's mother and father are the spiritual pillars of many people, and they are the only special light in his heart from childhood to now.

Emperor Kang Jing was envious of his father, because his father could meet a rare treasure like Shun's mother and father.It's not that he doesn't love the queen, the queen is the one he chooses the most suitable for him.But Shun's mother and father are like immortals, and the queen is excellent, but she is just a mortal.The father abdicated, and Shun's mother and father left the capital with the father.After so many years, I rarely come back.He knew that this was the respect of his father and Shun mother for the emperor.They are in the capital, which will more or less affect his authority and put pressure on him.So they didn't go back to Beijing, and now they even went to a place as far away as Xizhou.Father Huang and Shun's parents left, Wan Zhen also left.The emperor is ruthless, but he also misses them, his mother and father who are like immortals, and his baby brother who is smart and sensible.

The queen's guard of honor stopped outside the gate of Xiangfu Palace.Also without letting anyone follow, the queen walked into Xiangfu Palace alone.At this moment, the harem cannot be peaceful.His Majesty went to Xiangfu Palace suddenly, but something big happened?The one who was most nervous was Yao Xun.Why did His Majesty go to Xiangfu Palace? !Was he worried about Che'er or... Yao Xie's hands trembled.

Gently pushing open the door of the study, the queen walked in.Emperor Kang Jing asked, "Who is it?"

Queen: "Your Majesty, I am a servant."

There was only a dim candle in the room, and the queen in plain clothes walked in.After looking around the room, he walked to the candlestick and lit two more candles.

The room is a little brighter, but not too bright.He Huan walked behind Emperor Kang Jing, pinched his shoulders and neck with both hands, and massaged him.Emperor Kang Jing closed his eyes and leaned back.He Huan didn't make a sound, and quietly massaged his husband to relax.After a while, Emperor Kang Jing raised his hand to press the queen's hand on his left shoulder, He Huan stopped, and then asked: "Your Majesty is worried about the health of the king?"

Emperor Kang Jing said: "My father has been looking forward to Wan Zhen for 20 years. When Wan Zhen was just born, I held him in my arms and watched him fall asleep sweetly in my arms. This heart is going to melt.”

He Huan: "Wan Zhen recognizes people, and when the servants hugged him for the first time, he still cried."

Emperor Kang Jing: "After you entered the palace for a long time, Wan Zhen also gave you a hug. He doesn't recognize people, he likes a strong aura, which makes him feel safe. Wan Zhen was not ordinary since he was a child." , I have never seen anyone who is smarter, smarter, or more sensible than him."

He Huan: "Your Majesty misses Wan Zhen?"

Emperor Kang Jing: "I miss him. I also feel that there will be no second Wan Zhen in this palace."

He Huan: "That's natural. Wan Zhen was born to Shun's mother, so she is naturally unique."

The corner of Emperor Kang Jing's mouth was a bit cold: "So, even my own brother, Brother Mao, in my heart, will never be as good as Wan Zhen."

He Huan's palm on Emperor Kang Jing's shoulder tightened visibly: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Kang Jing: "I dote on Yao Xun because he has always been very sensible. I gave him the Yanxin Palace, and I hope he can always know his position in this Danyang Palace like the Ming Taishi. But in a few years... Changing... I forced it."

He Huan walked around: "Your Majesty, what happened? Was it Yao Xun who said something or the king..."

Emperor Kang Jing: "Yao Xi hopes that I can congratulate the great king."

He Huan said without hesitation: "The servants are aware of this matter. Yao Xun is worried about the king, and Chongxi is justified."

However, Emperor Kang Jing smiled coldly: "Xi Taigui Concubine was in critical condition after giving birth. In order to celebrate Tai Guifei, Emperor Father bestowed Jin Wang on the spot on the spot, and bestowed the thrones on Princess Ling'er, Bi'er and Xin'er. What Emperor Father said It's joy, but it's more about not being busy with Shun's mother and father who gave first aid to the imperial concubine. Shun's mother and father gave birth to the father's only prince, Wan Zhen, who was bestowed the title of King Ning by the father. Since I ascended the throne, I haven’t issued a decree to congratulate anyone. You say, my big brother wants to congratulate, how should I do it?”

He Huan said pertinently: "No matter what Yao Xi's thoughts are, the king is your first brother, and it stands to reason that your majesty should indeed give a conferment. Your majesty, you have all the plans, and there are only two princes." Son. Concubine Jing gave birth to the second brother, Your Majesty, you raised the status of Concubine Jing, Yao Xun was favored by Your Majesty, and gave birth to Brother King, but the reward given by Your Majesty is not as good as that of Concubine Jing."

Emperor Kang Jing: "I thought you understood."

He Huan: "Your servant understands, but what other people see is that Yao Xun was wronged after giving birth to the king's brother."

Emperor Kang Jing: "Shun's mother and father are the only ones favored by the emperor, but the Zhuo family is in decline. Shun's mother and father have no money in their hands. Wan Zhen is the only child of Shun's mother and father, but it is just an accident. Shun's mother and father The establishment of Zhuoyuan Trading Company, but in the end, it was handed over to me."

He Huan: "Your Majesty, Shun Mom and Dad, they are like immortals, and we are all mere mortals. I know that you hope that all the concubines around you are sensible and reasonable. The palace can be as peaceful as the father was then, with no one competing for favor, and the princes are brothers and sisters. But it is because of the presence of Shun's mother and father, so the palace can be so peaceful. In front of him, he is also ashamed of himself. The servant, he did not take good care of Danyang Palace."

Emperor Kang Jing patted the queen's hand: "I forced it. Before I ascended the throne, my life was too smooth, but after I ascended the throne, I became a little naive because of it. I think Danyang Palace is still as peaceful as when my father was emperor, but I forgot that the most important thing is people, not my will." Patting the queen's hand again, Emperor Kang Jing said: "Mother and father Shun are like immortals, so they are incomparable. But you, as my queen, are He is the most suitable person. Throughout the ages, there have been several emperors who can confide in their queens. I dote on Wanzhen, and you will only love me more than me. I respect and obey my parents, and you will only be more filial than me. Danyang Palace With you, I don’t have any worries. It’s also my fault that I always subconsciously compare the concubines and dragon descendants of Danyang Palace with Shun’s mother and father, and with Wan Zhen.”

He Huan: "Your Majesty, you are not wrong. If I had a mother like Shun's mother and father around me since I was a child, I would be more reluctant to change than you. You don't know how envious I am that you can be in Shun since childhood." He grew up beside his mother and father, and received the teachings of Shun's mother."

Emperor Kang Jing smiled: "Speaking of which, at that time I knew that there was someone sleeping in Shun's mother and father's tent all day, and I was not happy."

It was rare for He Huan to complain: "I didn't expect His Majesty to be so naive when he was a child."

Emperor Kang Jing: "I am also an ordinary person, and I also have emotions and desires."

Standing up, Emperor Kang Jing took the Queen's hand: "Go back to the palace, I won't go to court tomorrow, so I can sleep more."

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs these days, so it's time to take a good rest."

His majesty went to Xiangfu Palace, and soon after, the queen also went.After about an hour or so, His Majesty and the Queen came out together and returned to Houde Palace.Yao Xun was restless all night.He thought that his request was not too much, but in his heart, Yao Xi felt a little guilty for no reason.

Back at Houde Palace, Emperor Kang Jing and the Queen washed and went to bed.After lying down, Emperor Kang Jing turned over and pressed on the queen's body, kissing her.The emperor and empress were in love, and the palace people retreated far away.

■

For the next half month, Emperor Kang Jing didn't mention Chongxi.For the past half month, Emperor Kang Jing had been staying in Houde Palace of the Empress at night, not only did he not go to Yanxin Palace, he even didn't visit the king's brother again.Yao Xun was in panic all day long, he knew that he must have violated His Majesty's taboo.Apart from the queen in the harem, he was the only concubine who had given birth to two heirs.After giving birth to the big brother, he thought that he would be canonized as a concubine, but His Majesty was happy, but he didn't give him the title as he wished, and even the big brother didn't get the "due" gift seal up.Yao Xi was wronged and unwilling.

Emperor Kang Jing ascended the throne as emperor, and the crown princess was logically named empress.But the prince's side concubine and side attendant were only conferred the titles of concubine and concubine, not noble concubine and concubine.Emperor Kang Jing has been on the throne for eight years, but there are no concubines or concubines in the harem.The empress is the absolute master of Danyang Palace, among Emperor Kang Jing's concubines, even if he likes and dotes on him more, the highest is the concubine.Everyone didn't understand why His Majesty didn't bestow noble concubines and concubines.If His Majesty didn't like the side concubines and side servants of the crown prince, what about those favored and born dragon heirs like Yao Xie in the palace now.

Emperor Kang Jing, who didn't need the support of courtiers and families, gave the harem completely as he wanted.After Emperor Kang Jing ascended the throne, he did not reject drafts, but he was extraordinarily "stingy" in conferring concubine servants.Among the many princes, the queen gave birth to three sons and one daughter, the eldest son was the crown prince, the other two sons were granted the throne of the county respectively, and the daughter was also named a serious princess.The Supreme Emperor was very cautious in bestowing his son, and everyone only thought that His Majesty was influenced by the Supreme Emperor, and they were not in a hurry to bestow the Dragon Heir.But in fact, Emperor Kang Jing did this to ensure the queen's absolute authority in Danyang Palace.Only when he shows his absolute respect for the queen can the harem be stable.Emperor Kang Jing did not vigorously reuse the He family, and even suppressed the He family at certain times.At the same time, he gave the queen He Huan absolute respect, and the prince born to the queen also has absolute status, so that the status of the queen can be guaranteed.

In the midst of Yao Xun's fear, Emperor Kang Jing suddenly decreed that three princes who were over 20 years old were conferred the throne.The great king's elder brother Nan Rongche was weak and sick, and he might have a conflict with Yanxin Palace. Yao Xun moved from Yanxin Palace to Shaoyong Palace.Nan Rongche was sent to Houde Palace to be raised by the queen.

This imperial decree hit Yao Xi's head like a bolt from the blue.The imperial decree was sent by Xiao Ding himself to Yanxin Palace.After Xiao Ding read out the imperial decree, the palace servants took the prince away.Yao Xi cried and wanted to take his son back, but the people brought by Xiao Ding stopped him in Yanxin Palace.

In Taoyuan Pavilion of Fengtian Palace, Emperor Kang Jing looked expressionlessly at the paternity servant who was kneeling in front of him, weeping pear blossoms with tears in his eyes, there was no trace of the warmth in his eyes.Emperor Kang Jing admitted that he was more ruthless than his father.

Facing Yao Xie's tears, Emperor Kang Jing not only didn't feel distressed, but felt disgusted.Shun's mother and father have physical and mental disabilities, and they can't stand Brother Mao crying, feeling like a man crying.It can be said that he grew up beside Shun's parents, and he was also affected by it over time.The servants in the palace can be coquettish, lose their temper, and play with their temper, but don't cry.

"Your Majesty, Che'er is Shishen's order... Sishen is willing to move to Shaoyong Palace, as long as it is for Che'er's benefit, Sishen is willing to do it. Sishen begs Your Majesty, don't take Che'er away from Sishen's side." , serve, serve..."

The cup in Emperor Kang Jing's hand fell to the ground, and the sound of the broken porcelain stopped Yao Xi from crying.Yao Xi raised his head and found in panic that the emperor sitting in front of him had strange coldness in his eyes.Yao Xun shivered.

Emperor Kang Jing said: "Yao Xi, what I am willing to give, I will give. If I don't want to give, if you come to ask me for it, it will only annoy me."

Yao Xun trembled again, he knelt and walked forward: "Your Majesty! The servant is wrong! The servant..."

Xiao fixed his eyes, and the surrounding palace people immediately held Yao Xi down.

Emperor Kang Jing: "You play well, I like listening to Xiao Qu, so I am willing to pamper you. I thought you were very sensible, but obviously, I was wrong. Tell me, what do you want me to do for Che'er?" Congratulations?"

Yao Xi shook his head violently: "No! No! Sishen, Sishen just, just wants to give Che'er a blessing!"

Emperor Kang Jing: "Pray for peace? You secretly ordered the mother who took care of Che'er to give him more food, and deliberately let him get sick with food accumulation. Is it your peace?"

Yao Xun's body shook violently, and he shouted in a panic, "Your Majesty! I didn't! Me!"

Xiao Ding gave another look, and a palace man gagged Yao Xun's mouth quickly.

Emperor Kang Jing: "Che'er is my elder brother. For the sake of his physical and mental health, I will not cut your position. You pray for Che'er in Shaoyong Palace, and I will not make things difficult for you. The queen is kind-hearted." , you don’t act like a demon, and you won’t be deprived of your title as queen. Take it down. Without my permission, she is not allowed to leave Shaoyong Palace.”

Xiao Ding: "Yes."

Yao Xun's sudden fall from favor still caused quite a stir in Danyang Palace.Soon, there were "rumors" in the palace, saying that Yao Xun was begging His Majesty for a gift for the elder brother, which aroused His Majesty's disgust.

Outside the palace, Princess Ningguo Nanrong Ling'er shook her head after hearing about this.Princess Ningguo's personal nanny didn't understand: "Your Highness, isn't Yao Xun deeply favored? How can you say that if you fall out of favor, you will fall out of favor? With Yao Xing's favor, he thinks it is reasonable for His Majesty to give the king brother a gift." Right. Your Majesty will not dislike Yao Xun just because of this, right?"

Princess Ningguo gave the mother a "what do you know" look, and said, "I and Chen Li, because my mother and concubine were bleeding heavily at that time, and Shun's mother and father were rescued by my mother and concubine, so my father gave me and Chen Li to rejoice." Conferment. Your Majesty and the second elder brother also followed their father to Beigu. After getting their father's affirmation, they were first named county kings, and then gradually became princes. As for His Majesty's crown prince, they followed their mother and father's approval. After the assassination, the royal father made the decree. Your Majesty was taught by the royal father and his mother. Do you think your majesty will easily grant the prince?

Furthermore, Brother Dawang is Brother Mu, can he compare with Wan Zhen?Wan Zhen, that is what everyone expects, everyone is looking forward to him, waiting for his birth.Brother Dawang, to put it bluntly, is just Brother Lao born to one of His Majesty's slightly favored servants.At most, there will be some splashes in the palace. What is the reaction of the previous dynasty?If His Majesty really loved Yao Xing from the bottom of his heart, he wouldn't just give the king a single name of 'Che'.His Majesty gave the king brother this name, Yao Xi should have seen it clearly.Even if His Majesty will bestow upon you the great prince, it will definitely not be now.I thought Yao Xi was smart, but it seems that he also feels good about himself.Sure enough, beauties are so confident. "

Mammy pursed her lips and smiled.

Princess Ningguo sighed: "My mother and concubine have all gone to sea, leaving me to be bored in the capital. The son-in-law is a drag. If he couldn't leave, I would have gone to sea to find the emperor's grandmother, mother, mother, father and Wan. It's gone."

The nanny persuaded again: "If the master leaves, the director of the hospital will cry to death."

Princess Ningguo said angrily, "So he is a drag!"
