Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 130

After that night, Zhao Xiyan never went to Ganquan Palace again, and went to Weiyang Palace to rest every day as usual, even unwilling to turn over the signboard.The queen mother asked Concubine Shu to learn the rules in the queen's palace. The queen was jealous that she was favored by Zhao Xiyan, and made things difficult for her when teaching her to learn the rules.Ulan Rongruo is not stupid, after coming to the palace for a few days, the court ladies and eunuchs saw that she was favored by the emperor, many people were willing to serve her and tell her about the palace affairs.The emperor only dotes on the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine even gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor, and they are all favored.Especially the eldest princess, the emperor held it in his mouth for fear of melting and held it in his hands for fear of falling.Before she came, the emperor had not been to other concubines' palaces, and the queen was no exception.The empress is the emperor's original spouse, and she made things difficult for her now because of a one-night favor.The court ladies and eunuchs also told her the stories about the emperor and the imperial concubine, no matter which version is inseparable from the word "childhood sweetheart", they are all extremely affectionate.These days, the emperor only went to Weiyang Palace, and the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine were the same as ordinary couples, not going to the nearby palaces for half a step.Ulan Rongruo was suddenly very interested in this emperor, which was very different.After hearing those stories, and seeing the emperor's dedication to the imperial concubine, she was very envious of the imperial concubine.The emperor, the most incapable of being devoted, only fell in love with his childhood sweetheart, his cousin.The kind of friendship from childhood to adulthood is so beautiful and really yearning.If it wasn't for the queen's background being better than the imperial concubine's, I'm afraid that the queen's position would not be her turn.

This Zhao Xiyan is the first and the second eldest, and the ministers want him to choose a concubine, and it has reached the point where he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't mention it every day.Zhao Xiyan pressed all his strength and found various reasons to evade.The minister began to complain about the imperial concubine, and began to spread that the imperial concubine bewitched the Sacred Heart, and even put it in the court.Zhao Xiyan didn't allow anyone to slander his Ning'er like this, so he lost his temper in court.If it weren't for Xiangyun's pull, he would have dismissed their officials in court.These people sent their daughter to the palace in order to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, and even put the crime on his Ning'er, he was so angry that his hands shook.Officials are not for the common people, thinking about the emperor's harem all day long, what's the matter.

The Empress Dowager also knew about this, and took advantage of Zhao Xiyan's going to court to find Xia Shuning to talk to Xianfu Palace.Xia Shuning was not surprised that the Empress Dowager told her these things, she was not a jealous woman and could not tolerate other people.She really wanted to have a lifetime with Zhao Xiyan and take him as her own, but she also knew very well that he was the last person in the world who couldn't live with each other forever.She had loved Zhao Xiyan since childhood, and longed to be his wife and spend the rest of her life with him.She also knew from an early age that he had a noble status, and if he was destined to spend his life with a woman, this woman might not necessarily be her turn, after all, there are as many women with status as a cow.She also knew very early on that when he was only the county king, he knew that he would have many women in his life.Back then, she just wanted to enter his heart and occupy a place, but now that she has fulfilled all her wishes, he is full of himself, but she is not as satisfied as before, and she has begun to covet his whole heart.But there has never been any emperor who has only one woman in his life, not even the prince.There is no man in this world who has multiple wives and concubines.The Queen Mother liked Xia Shuning very much. She sacrificed a lot for their mother and daughter, and she was sensible and well-behaved since she was a child.She didn't even say a word about asking her to marry a woman.If it weren't for Xia Shuning over the years, Zhao Xiyan would have become a handful of loess long ago.Whether she saved Zhao Xiyan despite the danger and worked hard many times, or she gave birth to children for Zhao Xiyan, she has made great contributions to the whole country.If Zhao Xiyan was just a prince, the queen mother would like her to be an ordinary couple with her own children.But now that she has pushed him to the throne step by step, she can only feel sorry for this niece.

"I'm sorry, Auntie."

"Mother, don't say that, you didn't."

"What did you call me?"

"Mother, my aunt is Xianggong's mother. Ning'er will naturally call you mother after marrying Xianggong."

"Good boy, it's the mother who is sorry for you."

"My mother didn't apologize to me, so don't say such things. My husband is very good. He treats me and my children very well. No matter what kind of husband or father you are, he is not as good as him. He only has me and the children in his heart. I I know."

"As an emperor, he can't help himself. You know that he only has you in his heart. Don't care how many women he has, and don't care who he has a child with. Just believe that he only has you in his heart. The future emperor will only have you and Xi'er's child. Mother hereby swears in the name of the Empress Dowager that if there is any wrongdoing, she will die a terrible death."

"No! Mother, don't talk nonsense. Ning'er doesn't want Qi Chao to inherit his father's throne in the future. He has worked too hard. Political affairs are always endless, and he still comes to coax me and the children every day. He had to deal with the women in the harem. He didn't rest for a moment, just being himself like before."

"It's very rare for you to understand this. Xi'er is really lucky for us mother and daughter to have a wife like you."

"It's Ning'er's luck. I thought I would just hide in the dark and watch my cousin and princess be happy. I never thought that I would have today. Ning'er doesn't ask for anything, but I want my husband to be healthy and happy all his life."

"Ning'er, mother envies you very much."

"Why?"

"Did you know? When my mother was young, she also had someone she liked, but because of your grandfather and Xi'er's father, I lost him completely. After fighting in this deep palace for more than 20 years, I did not get the late emperor. A bit of sincerity, a bit of love, reduced to his pawn and one of many playthings. I also want to hide behind your lover like you and be a little woman. But these concubines in the harem are like piranhas, charming and fragrant, but eating People don't spit out their bones. I fight wits and courage with others in this deep palace like walking on thin ice every day, and climb from a concubine to today's queen mother. Do you know what kind of life I have lived for more than 20 years? I know that you and your father, They say I'm cruel, Xi'er is so young, so I treat him so cruelly. But if I don't, I won't be able to climb up at all, won't be favored, and if I don't have any children, I will be swallowed up by those cannibals in the harem. I can't protect myself, I can't protect the capital, and I can't protect Xi'er. If the late emperor had so much sincerity towards me, my mother wouldn't be like this."

"Mother!"

"You don't need to comfort me, it's all over. It's Xi'er who fought hard and bought us such a comfortable life. He swallowed all these hardships himself, I know it all. Go back and persuade Xi'er, it's just a selection to accept the concubine In the future, when they give birth to a child, they don’t have to worry about it. The mother will help him take care of the harem herself, so that he can rest assured that he is still yours and no one can take it away. He got angry when he went to court, so please persuade him Him. I can't persuade you anymore, you are the only one in the world who can."

"Mom, I'll do my best."

The Queen Mother gave Xia Shuning a gentle smile, and held her hand tightly.They are both women and of the same vein, so how can they not know that this is actually embarrassing her.But at this point, she can only do this.She also really envied Xia Shuning, she was so happy, she got a heart and endless care, which she never had in her whole life.After Xia Shuning left, the Empress Dowager's heart became more and more empty. She missed the boy hidden deep in her mind.It has been decades, and she still remembers that young man took her and secretly gave her a hairpin under the banyan tree in the backyard of Xiahou Mansion, and ran away shyly with a blushing face.She seems to have heard him at this moment, he happily called her Tang Niang behind her back, and she smiled happily and turned around to see his picturesque eyes.The queen mother turned around abruptly, thinking that he was really behind her, but she turned around and met the bronze mirror, and in the bronze mirror was her face that had gone through vicissitudes.The Empress Dowager's eyes were moist. She is over forty years old this year and is already a grandmother.Her Jiulang has been away from her for 25 years, and has turned into a handful of loess, with no trace to be found.

Xia Shuning returned to Weiyang Palace, just sat down for a while, thinking deeply.Zhao Xiyan came back in a panic, and calmed down when he saw Xia Shuning in the window.He took several deep breaths, adjusted his posture, and walked over to Xia Shuning.Seeing that he was back, Xia Shuning winked and told all the maids and eunuchs in the bedroom to go out.Xia Shuning brought him a glass of honey water to calm him down.Zhao Xiyan smiled happily, and drank it with a smile. Seeing that Xia Shuning's complexion was not good, he gently hugged her after drinking and asked her who made her unhappy.Unexpectedly, Xia Shuning spoke up after a long time, actually to persuade him to choose a concubine, and to persuade him to spread his branches and leaves for the royal family.Zhao Xiyan was already trembling with anger from the ministers, but he didn't expect his wife to say the same when he returned home.How can he not be angry, but the person in front of him is the treasure in his palm, he will not be angry with her, let alone scold her.Hearing Zhao Xiyan's words, it's not like what Xia Shuning said, it must be his mother who instigated Xia Shuning to persuade him.Zhao Xiyan was furious, but Xia Shuning still persuaded him.

"Ning'er, did your mother teach you this? Did she tell you something?"

"You don't have to be afraid. If those ministers dare to talk nonsense again, I will send someone to pull out their tongues. Let's see who dares to persuade me to choose the draft!"

"Mister! This is for your own good, and I sincerely advise you to draft. I know you only have me in your heart, but now you are the king of a country, you can't be so affectionate."

"I can promise you everything, but this is not the only thing. Is it not good for you and me? Why do you have to find some women to come in and make a mess."

"If you don't agree to draft a concubine, you are not allowed to enter Weiyang Palace from today on."

"What's the point?"

Without waiting for Zhao Xiyan to say anything, Xia Shuning hurriedly pushed him out of the door and closed the door.Zhao Xiyan clapped and shouted outside the door, explaining, but Xia Shuning just didn't listen and didn't open the door.The only emperor in history who was shut out by his concubines was Zhao Xiyan.Xia Shuning didn't feel well in the room either, she couldn't open the door today, so she softened her heart.She knew very well that the former court and the harem were closely related, and those courtiers had families behind them, so it was absolutely impossible for her Xia family to dominate.The Xia family has produced two generations of imperial concubines, and now my aunt is the queen mother again.Xia Shuning was favored alone, many people were jealous and wanted to share the pie.Seeing the humble birth mother of the eldest prince and the noble birth mother of the second son, it is a pity that half of the blood belongs to Mobei.If Zhao Xiyan insists on not drafting and accepting concubines, then only Xia Shuning's third son is the most likely to inherit the throne in the future.How could these aristocratic families let it go?They will stop at nothing, even join forces.The Queen Mother has analyzed with her today, she has followed Zhao Xiyan all these years, Zhao Xiyan has always said everything to her, she is naturally fascinated by it.Zhao Xiyan knocked on the door for a long time and stood until it was dark, but Xia Shuning didn't open the door.Zhao Xiyan held his breath and returned to Feishuang Palace.At night, Zhao Xiyan danced his sword in the bedroom of Feishuang Palace.The sword energy is compelling and extremely forceful.Yan Fengjun stood outside the door, listening all the time.

For three consecutive days, Zhao Xiyan went to Weiyang Palace every day, but was rejected every day.He went to Xianfu Palace, but the Empress Dowager didn't see him either, and said that she would only see him if she accepted her concubine.On the night of the third day, Zhao Xiyan finally collapsed.Holding a sword and dancing in the bedroom, sweating profusely, eyes are red.Don't know how to stop until you are tired!

"You all force me! You all force me!"

Zhao Xiyan danced the sword, and only this sentence came out of his mouth.Today Yan Fengjun is still listening outside the door, she knows that everyone is forcing him to draft a concubine.But he didn't want to, now that his mother and the wife on top of his heart were pushing him, he couldn't hold back anymore.Zhao Xiyan slashed at the bronze divine beast in the dormitory with his sword, with such force that the sword broke and there was a loud bang.Yan Fengjun heard that he thought he was injured, so he hurriedly opened the door and went in to see him.Zhao Xiyan just held the broken sword in his hand blankly, his eyes were red.

"Is Your Majesty injured?"

Yan Fengjun took the broken sword from his hand and threw it on the ground, and checked the tiger's mouth on his right hand.Yan Fengjun didn't check out any wounds on him, and suddenly realized that he was overly nervous and exposed.Yan Fengjun was about to resign, but Zhao Xiyan held her back.

"Is it my fault for not accepting the concubine?"

"No."

"Then why is everyone pushing me? I am dedicated to the country, and I am diligent every day, and I dare not relax. Is such a dedication not worth the spread of branches and leaves?"

"The emperor's heir is also the foundation of the country, and it is right for the emperor to spread branches and leaves for the royal family."

"It's just an excuse for the rich and powerful to send their daughters to the palace. It's grand!"

"Your Majesty, you should know that the Xia family has two generations of imperial concubines, with infinite glory. You also have half of the Xia family's blood on your body. They don't want the next generation of emperors to still come from the Xia family. There has never been any dynasty or generation. Two extremely noble figures, Xia Guozhang’s family has already attained enlightenment alone, and they have ascended to heaven. They also want to share a piece of the pie, and also want to gain a chance to soar into the sky. Don’t your majesty understand this truth?”

"I know that even if I select a concubine, I will only pass on the throne to Ning'er's children."

"This is His Majesty's business, and there is no need to discuss it with others. It is His Majesty's decision to whom His Majesty will pass the throne to in the future. But if you have an heir, you have an opportunity, and if you don't have an heir, you don't have it. For an opportunity, everyone must make a gamble. Just as His Majesty won the throne just like back then, the hope is slim, but we still have to give it a go.”

"According to your words, I must accept the concubine to appease the courtiers of the family?"

"Your Majesty should know that marriage has been the best way to strengthen relationships since ancient times. Just like the Great Khan of Mobei sent the princess to the Daqi Palace in every possible way. His Majesty compromised at that time. Why can't he compromise now? It's just a concubine, and there is no requirement." Your Majesty must be on par with them. It is nothing more than having more women in the palace, and after giving birth to children, His Majesty will do whatever you want."

"In your opinion, why did it become like this? What is the root cause?"

"Your Majesty has no sons, naturally everyone has a chance."

Zhao Xiyan fell into deep thought, every word Yan Fengjun said was right.The next day, Emperor Tianyuan decreed that the Ministry of Rites would conduct the drafting of concubines. The drafting would be handled by the Empress Dowager and the Empress, assisted by the Imperial Concubine, and handled together with the Eldest Princess' selection of a concubine.After Zhao Xiyan issued the decree, he went back to Feishuang Palace and closed the door without seeing anyone.He is the most honorable emperor in Daqi, and also the most pitiful person in Daqi.
