Chapter 149
Yan Fengjun gave birth to the baby safely, and Zhao Xiyan couldn't hide his joy, and he was always in a great mood.There were so many flatterers and flatterers, Zhao Xiyan was happy and didn't say much.But because the emperor was happy, there was also a sixth-rank official surnamed Yan, who thought he was of the same family as Concubine Liang.Zhao Xiyan was upset when he heard such shameless words.Although it is said that you can wear thousands of clothes, but flattery is the only thing you can't wear, but this kind of mentality of climbing the dragon and the phoenix is not acceptable.Zhao Xiyan suddenly became angry and demoted this little official to a place of bitter cold.When Yan Fengjun first became a concubine, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty used her background to talk about things, and there were many ugly things to say.Now that the concubine Liang has won the prince, and now she is flattering again, do you really think that he is a fatuous person who can't remember the past after hearing a few good words?The courtiers couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, and they were a little terrified, but they all knew in their hearts that this good concubine was probably an unusual one, and that she would end up in the same fate if she went on about her tongue in the future.
Zhao Xiyan went to Huashi Palace after the court, with a few pieces of beautiful jade in his arms.Yan Fengjun sat beside Qixu's small bed, teasing him.Qi Xu was too young, so she couldn't tell who she looked more like, but she always felt that her facial features resembled Yan Fengjun himself.As soon as the notification sounded, Yan Fengjun stood up full of anticipation, and was about to walk to the door to meet Zhao Xiyan.Yan Fengjun still couldn't learn to salute Zhao Xiyan, and he would maintain his previous desertedness in front of the court ladies and eunuchs, but since he became a good concubine, he has become impatient.Zhao Xiyan hadn't even stepped into the bedroom of Huashi Palace when Yan Fengjun appeared in front of him.After all, there was a room full of people, so she was ashamed to cling to Zhao Xiyan as if they were alone.He had no choice but to control himself, holding Zhao Xiyan's sleeve and entering the palace.Zhao Xiyan let her drag her to Qixu's little bed.Zhao Xiyan saw the little Qixu, and gently scraped the child's face with his hands, then took out the few pieces of beautiful jade from his bosom.Three pieces of beautiful jade were made into a circle, all three pieces were of different sizes, Zhao Xiyan tore off the smallest piece and put it on gently for the child.Only then did Zhao Xiyan turn around and put one of them on Yan Fengjun's waist, but Yan Fengjun didn't know what he meant.
"Your Majesty, is this?"
"I just found it from my private treasury a few days ago. It's the only one. It's exactly three yuan, you, me and the child. The piece of white jade you asked for before was worn by me when I was King Duan. , Now it’s time to replace it with a new one. These three pieces were originally one piece, but the craftsman broke it into three pieces with ingenuity. They can be combined and divided, and they are originally one piece. You are so smart, you should understand what I mean.”
Yan Fengjun's eyes were bright, he took the last piece from Zhao Xiyan's hand, and helped him fit it around his waist.
"Always one."
"Correct."
After Wu Qingyao passed out that night, she didn't wake up for three whole days. The imperial physicians in the palace were busy with Wu Zhaoyi.After waking up, she has been bedridden. It was not until a month later that Wu Qingyao refused to take medicine, and the situation was not optimistic, so Xia Guozhang reported to Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan frowned after hearing the news.Qiu Ruyu was also crying, and Ulan Rongruo also looked hurt.Zhao Xiyan asked himself that he had never done anything wrong to them, what is the difference between what they are like now and threatening him to submit?People in positions of authority dislike threats and persecution the most, and Zhao Xiyan finds it annoying.But Zhao Xiyan was not the kind of person who would not save him, even though he was angry, he still picked a day to visit Wu Qingyao.
As soon as Zhao Xiyan entered Wu Qingyao's bedroom, there was an extremely strong smell of medicine. The beauty was not as gorgeous as it used to be, but was full of pale vicissitudes.Seeing Zhao Xiyan standing outside the door, Wu Qingyao couldn't help but want to get up to greet him.It's a pity that this weak body can no longer stand the toss.Zhao Xiyan waved his hand, signaling excuses.Zhao Xiyan met Wu Qingyao's full expectation and walked to her bedside.The maid hurriedly moved a stool for Zhao Xiyan to sit down. After Zhao Xiyan sat down, she glanced sideways at Xiangyun, and Xiangyun invited the palace maids and eunuchs out of the bedroom.
"Is it better?"
"The concubine is better."
"How can you be so sick?"
Wu Qingyao couldn't open her mouth, her eyebrows and eyes were lowered.If she said that she didn't get sick because of her love for the emperor, the emperor would not only not believe it, but would also think that she would use all means to climb the dragon and become the phoenix.Zhao Xiyan was indeed so disdainful in his heart. At this time, Wu Qingyao used exactly the same method as the princess who was still in the palace back then.But Wu Qingyao was really at the end of her talents, just like Su Qingshu back then, she no longer knew what to do to get Zhao Xiyan to forgive her.Wu Qingyao met Zhao Xiyan earlier than Yan Fengjun, and fell in love with Zhao Xiyan earlier, but unfortunately, she was not as lucky as Yan Fengjun.Zhao Xiyan couldn't figure out what these women liked about him, if he figured it out, he would definitely stop them from liking him.Similarly, Ulan Rongruo and Wu Qingyao couldn't figure out why Zhao Xiyan just didn't like them.Qiu Ruyu is the sister-in-law and it's normal that Zhao Xiyan doesn't want her. Wu Qingyao wholeheartedly believes that Zhao Xiyan thinks she's dirty, but Ulan Rongruo is pretty and versatile, especially when she's young, so why doesn't she ever take a look at her more?But Wu Qingyao and the others are also very strange. It stands to reason that Qiu Ruyu is Zhao Xiyan's first woman and gave birth to the eldest son. Why is she like them now, unable to love her?Such a strange.It made Wu Qingyao and Wulan Rongruona puzzled.
"There is nothing left and right, please trouble the emperor to care."
Wu Qingyao suppressed her joy, her face was as cold and polite as Yan Fengjun's.Zhao Xiyan wanted to laugh when he heard this.Isn't it because he is so seriously ill that he can come?Saying things like this now doesn't sound like a queen at all.In this way, it aroused Zhao Xiyan's curiosity, wondering what this woman was thinking.
"The imperial doctor has come to report that you are depressed because of excessive blood loss. Your complexion is really bad. Don't learn from others who don't use medicine. Your body is your own. If you don't cherish it, who can you ask to cherish it?" .”
Wu Qingyao was a little embarrassed when her mind was exposed, but she could barely hang on her face.Isn't Zhao Xiyan saying that she imitated the queen?Deliberately made himself sick, and then refused to drink medicine, and did not follow the doctor's advice, forcing the emperor to come.She didn't intend to do this, but she fell ill for some reason, and the emperor still didn't come after being ill for so long, so she could only make herself sicker, so serious that the imperial doctor had to go to Feishuang Palace to report.However, Zhao Xiyan's last words still hit Wu Qingyao's heart.That's right, if you don't cherish yourself, will the emperor still cherish yourself?
"The emperor's lesson is that the concubine knows his mistake."
"Bring Zhaoyi's medicine."
After a while, the maid brought Wu Qingyao's medicine, which had no heat.The maid brought it to Wu Qingyao, Wu Qingyao stretched out her hand to carry it, but her wrist was weak and she threw her arm.Wu Qingyao's arms were densely packed with small knife marks, which would be excruciatingly painful when they got wet.Zhao Xiyan was very surprised, the medicine didn't have any heat, it should be lukewarm, most of it was sprinkled on the bedding, only a little was sprinkled on the arm, why it hurt so much that the forehead was sweating.Seeing that the medicine had been overturned and the emperor was still in front of her, the maids were so frightened that they disappeared and knelt on the ground.Zhao Xiyan picked up the medicine bowl, it was indeed warm, not scalding.Wu Qingyao kept covering her arms, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.
"But it's hot?"
"No."
Wu Qingyao dodged and dodged, Zhao Xiyan became more and more strange.Zhao Xiyan grabbed Wu Qingyao's hand, wanting to lift up the sleeve to find out.Unexpectedly, Wu Qingyao dodged more and more, not wanting him to open it.
"What happened to the arm? Why didn't you let me see it?"
"It's nothing to look at, the emperor doesn't want it! Don't!"
Wu Qingyao was extremely flustered and resisted, almost begging Zhao Xiyan.With a serious face, Zhao Xiyan lifted Wu Qingyao's right arm straight away.When you open it, you can see that there are densely packed and small cuts, which is very shocking.Zhao Xiyan lifted Wu Qingyao's left arm again, which was as dense as the right arm, which was shocking.
"I, is it worth it for you?"
Wu Qingyao's big tears fell down, but her face was determined.
"worth."
Zhao Xiyan's eyes darkened, he didn't say anything, he just called Xiangyun to bring the best ointment and bandages in the palace.Zhao Xiyan didn't know what to do, so he had to carefully clean up those densely packed wounds, apply medicine carefully, and wrap her in a bandage as gently as possible.He also called the maid to clean up the mess of overturning the medicine bowl just now, and asked Wu Qingyao to change into clean clothes.Only then did Zhao Xiyan discover that Wu Qingyao had always had a piece of warm jade on her body, which never left her body.Zhao Xiyan remembered that this piece of jade was picked out by Wu Qingyao and Qin Huaian when they entered the Duan Palace together, and was given to them as a meeting gift.Wu Qingyao never thought that Wu Qingyao had kept such an ordinary piece of warm jade for so many years.Wu Qingyao was helped to change into clean clothes, and then nestled back on the bed.
"It's good to be recuperating. I have ordered the people from the Imperial Hospital to come and see you every day. You don't have to think about anything, just get well soon. I want to hear you play the pipa."
"Is what the emperor said true?"
"The king's promises are full of promises, so naturally they can't be false."
"The minister and concubine follow the order."
The beauty on the sick bed, with bright eyes, smiled sweetly at Zhao Xiyan.Anyone can see her joy, the affection in her eyes, and her tenderness.Zhao Xiyan smiled back and left.Before arriving at Feishuang Palace, he received a letter from the maid sent by Yaohua Palace.Zhao Xiyan opened the letter and looked at it. Qiu Ruyu wanted to shave off her hair and become a nun. From then on, she lit the lantern to worship the Buddha, and asked Zhao Xiyan to take good care of Qi Chen and Qi Rui.Zhao Xiyan read the letter, sighing and furious.What do you want him to do with these women?Everyone came to threaten him.Originally, Qiu Ruyu was a gentle woman like jade, although she was not as good as other women, no other women were well educated and versatile, at least she was Xiaojiabiyu, and now she has learned to blackmail him like this.The emperor is upright, young and wise, the eldest son and the second son are young, but the virtuous concubine, the head of the four concubines, went to shave her hair and become a nun. If this is not a slap in the face, what is it?He is already very guilty of letting Qi Rui lose his biological mother Ulanya, and he doesn't know how Qi Rui will explain it to him when he grows up.Now that Qiu Ruyu is like this, it means that Qichen has lost his biological mother. Doesn't this mean that he will not know how to explain it in the future?In the future, if the two children hate him together, Zhao Xiyan really wants to live a life worse than death.
Immediately, Zhao Xiyan ran to the Yaohua Palace in a rage, and as soon as he entered, a large number of court ladies and eunuchs knelt in front of Qiu Ruyu's bedroom.The sound of wooden fish and scriptures came from the bedroom, and Zhao Xiyan rushed in angrily, ignoring the kowtows of the maids and eunuchs.As soon as she pushed open the door of the bedroom, she saw Qiu Ruyu wearing plain clothes without any makeup, kneeling in front of the Buddha and paying homage to the Buddha.Zhao Xiyan rushed to her angrily, grabbed the rosary in her hand, and overturned the incense burner and Buddha statue in the bedroom.Qiu Ruyu had never seen Zhao Xiyan who was so angry, and was terrified.
"emperor!"
"Get out! Get out for me!"
The maids and eunuchs in the bedroom knew that the concubine Xian's actions would definitely annoy the emperor. The emperor was an upright man, but the concubine took off her palace attire and put on cassock, eating fast and reciting Buddha's name. Isn't this embarrassing the emperor?The maids and eunuchs hurried out of the bedroom and closed the door.Only the angry Zhao Xiyan and the bewildered Qiu Ruyu were left in the bedroom.
"I'm still alive! What are you doing?"
"Concubine, concubine..."
"Do you still remember that you still have a biological son? Do you remember that he is not yet nine years old? Do you still remember that he still needs a mother!"
Qiu Ruyu burst into tears, she naturally remembered.
"For someone like me, you have to abandon the son you have worked so hard to give birth to. Have you forgotten how you raised him so big? You are happy when you go to cut off your hair and become a nun. Zhen How do you want people in the world to see me? How do you want Qichen to behave in this palace in the future? Do you want him to be laughed at and have a nun's biological mother?"
Qiu Ruyu couldn't say a word, she just kept crying, every word Zhao Xiyan said was her pain.But she has already said all her love, and she can no longer pretend to be ignorant like before.This person in front of her can't accept her at all, how can she stay in this palace as if nothing happened?Seeing him loving and having children with other women, but only neglecting himself?
"Qichen is my eldest son, in the past and in the future, do you really disregard his face? I am an insignificant person, but Qichen is your son. As a mother, you only think about yourself, don't you?" A bit selfish."
"No! No! The emperor is not an insignificant person. I also ask the emperor to fulfill the concubine, the concubine can't stay in this palace any longer."
"Why? You have been in the royal family for almost ten years, and now you say you can't stay?"
Zhao Xiyan pressed Qiu Ruyu step by step, but Qiu Ruyu retreated step by step, her face covered with tears.
"No reason, the emperor don't ask any more."
"For me, right? Green lantern, right? Ancient Buddha, right?"
Zhao Xiyan bent down to pick up the Guanyin statue, and smashed it in front of Qiu Ruyu.
"You die with this heart."
Zhao Xiyan quickly walked up to Qiu Ruyu, picked her up, and threw her back on the bed.Zhao Xiyan pressed her on the bed, Qiu Ruyu didn't resist at all, and even hoped that he would continue.Qiu Ruyu was not unprofessional, of course she knew what Zhao Xiyan wanted to do when he said this.Zhao Xiyan held her down, but did not continue.
"Remember, you are my virtuous concubine, my first woman, who gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. No matter what the truth is, these are the things that will be recorded in the history books in the future. Death to me If you don't want to become a monk, you can only die in the palace in this life."
Qiu Ruyu and Zhao Xiyan met each other's eyes. Although Zhao Xiyan's eyes were full of anger, this was the first time in many years that they leaned so ambiguously together.
"Your Majesty, have you ever liked a concubine?"
Zhao Xiyan was dumbfounded by her question.do you like it?love?Disgusted?They didn't have too many emotions. If he hadn't been thinking about Zhao Qichen, he wouldn't have thought of a poor girl adoring him at all.Zhao Xiyan stood up and left a sentence.
"From now on, be your virtuous concubine, take good care of Qi Chen, and don't think about a single word."
"Also, I will take Qi Rui to Concubine Shu's place to raise her soon."
"You do it yourself."
Qiu Ruyu watched Zhao Xiyan stride away from her bedroom with hazy eyes, without leaving a trace of warmth behind.From this day on, Zhao Xiyan fell into a predicament he couldn't get out of, and he was troubled every day.Sometimes he couldn't control his anger, and turned his anger on Ulan Rongruo who had been creating encounters all day long.Who is wrong?Who is right?Zhao Xiyan couldn't tell the difference at all.
The author has something to say:
published this chapter
Surely there will be a lot of judges saying
Xiao Zhao is so cruel to Ruyu
It's still kind of warm to Wu Qingyao
But Ruyu has always been a sister-in-law in Xiao Zhao's heart
Even Ruyu has nothing to feel sorry for him
But there's nothing to like
It's embarrassing for a concubine to become a monk
No wonder Xiao Zhao is so angry
