Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 129 Yuan Pa

If Ulan Rongruo entered the palace, the harem really exploded, and the empress and concubine Xian couldn't sit still.Ulan Rongruoren had just arrived at Ganquan Palace and was changing her palace attire. The queen couldn't wait to invite her to Xianfu Palace to pay her respects to the queen mother and the emperor's concubines.Ulan Rongruo had been taught the Shu Dali since she was a child, so she naturally knew that there was such a rule.The maid dressed her in the palace attire of a concubine of the Great Qi Dynasty, and then drove her to the Empress Dowager's Xianfu Palace in a concubine sedan chair.At this time, Zhao Xiyan had already arrived at Xianfu Palace, and was sitting in a high position with the Empress Dowager. The Empress, Imperial Concubine, and Xian Concubine sat on both sides and waited for Ulan Rongruo.Originally, Yan Fengjun didn't use this occasion to be a concubine, but she just couldn't control it, and wanted to know Zhao Xiyan's attitude towards that Ulan Rongruo, so she followed Zhao Xiyan and stood by Zhao Xiyan's side all the time.Wu Qingyao had been serving the Queen Mother in Xianfu Palace, so she had to watch this scene.

"Concubine Shu is here!"

Today, Ulan Rongruo, who has changed into a peach-pink palace attire, is as delicate and beautiful as peach blossoms in full bloom in early March.When the women saw such a young and beautiful Ulan Rongruo, they were very unhappy, and the veils in their hands were almost torn to pieces.Women care about age very much. Although they are well maintained, they are not as beautiful and beautiful as they are in their [-]s.These days Zhao Xiyan's clinginess towards Xia Shuning has not diminished, and he hangs around Weiyang Palace every day.If Xia Shuning hadn't sent a monthly letter, Zhao Xiyan might not have let her go. Xia Shuning, who should be at ease, was still very nervous seeing her.Ulan bowed profusely, bending her body even more unevenly.

"Rong Ruo has met the queen mother, the emperor, the empress, the imperial concubine, and the virtuous concubine."

"Get up." The queen mother spoke first, and Ulan Rongruo stood up straight.The Empress Dowager was very happy, it was a great thing for the emperor to accept the concubine.Although this Ulan Rongruo is from Mobei, his face is rare and outstanding, and his singing and dancing skills are even more top-notch.The Empress Dowager felt that such a woman would spread branches and leaves for the emperor, and the number of children would be indispensable.But after all, she is from Mobei, so she should not be favored, so she should be on guard against this foreign woman.

"Concubine Shu is really good-looking! And so versatile, Mobei Dahan sent you here, it really has a heart."

The queen mother is a very cunning person. If Ulan Rongruo enters the palace, he must be disowned first.Otherwise, if he is favored by the emperor in the future, he may forget who it is.Remind her first that she is just a gift from Mobei, and it is better to be a talent in the palace with your tail between your legs.These women in the hall are all intelligent people, and they can't fail to understand the meaning behind the Queen Mother's words, so they are a little happy.Ulan Rong is just a gift, she naturally knows it well.But it was still very uncomfortable to be slapped like that.But I am in a foreign country, and I am dependent on others, so I can only bow my head.

"It is Rong Ruo's blessing to be able to serve by His Majesty's side."

"You should cherish such a blessing, and don't lose it casually."

"Rong Ruo would like to obey the Queen Mother's order."

"In the future, you will call yourself a concubine in the palace. I'm afraid you don't understand the rules when you first enter the palace. Let the empress remind you more in the future."

"The concubine will learn the palace rules from the empress, thank you for your concern."

Ulan Rongruo's humble appearance was very useful to the queen mother, and she remained decent in the face of the queen mother's overtones.The queen mother was very satisfied with this woman's intelligence, and rewarded her with many things.According to the ancestral system, the concubine conferring ceremony was held. Zhao Xiyan personally handed over the concubine Shu's jade seal and treasure book to Ulan Rongruo, and also rewarded a lot of things.All Zhao Xiyan's actions were extremely official, and he didn't say a word to Ulan Rongruo.The empress looked at it and felt sore in her heart. She was not favored by the emperor. Before, the princes in the palace never came to her room, and she never came to Fengqi Palace even once when she became the empress.Even Xia Shuning was completely defeated, and she had rivals like Yan Fengjun and Wu Qingyao by her side, and even Qiu Ruyu, the widow of the virtuous prince, wanted to get involved.Ulanya is dead, but it was a blessing in disguise, and Zhao Xiyan will always miss her.As the first wife of her first wife, the empress of the palace has become the most insignificant person, how could she feel better.The Concubine Conferment Ceremony ended soon. No matter how much the Queen disliked Ulan Rongruo, she still wanted to maintain her mother-of-a-nation demeanor, and gave her something to congratulate her on concubine concubine.Xia Shuning saw Zhao Xiyan as an official, although she was nervous, she let go a lot, and did not hesitate to send a lot of good things.Xia Shuning knew that Zhao Xiyan was the emperor now, and there would only be more people in the harem.But his heart has always been with himself, as if it had never changed before.Although Qiu Ruyu couldn't speak, she just gave something with a bitter smile.Wu Qingyao suddenly became excited. She seemed to have thought of a good plan.Yan Fengjun still looked deserted, she and Zhao Xiyan had been together for so many years, it was easy for him to tell whether he liked someone or not.Yan Fengjun couldn't see his liking for Concubine Shu from Zhao Xiyan's eyes, so he smiled lightly.A group of people said some kind words and then dispersed.

Zhao Xiyan went straight back to the upper study room, and continued to deal with those courtiers who urged him to draft every day.Ulan Rongruo also returned to Ganquan Palace, and she was a little moved when she came to Ganquan Palace.The sleeping hall of Ganquan Palace was built according to the women's boudoir in Mobei. She thought it was prepared by the emperor's kindness, but in fact, it was specially ordered by Zhao Jingwei for fear that she would be homesick.They can be regarded as friends. Zhao Jingwei is a princess who thinks that if she is married to a foreign country by the emperor's brother, she will be very homesick, so she made such a move.Ulan Rongruo misunderstood before she knew it, and she had a good impression of Zhao Xiyan.Ulan Rongruo thought about how handsome Zhao Xiyan was, and he didn't have a beard at this age, he still looked like a teenager.When she was in Mobei before, she had heard many rumors about the Great Qi Emperor, saying that he was a strong enemy of Mobei, and that Daqi would be more prosperous with him.He defeated the 30 army in Mobei, rescued the first prince, caused the second prince and the third prince to fight each other, single-handedly supported the first prince to ascend the throne, and fought for the heir apparent with the abolished prince of Daqi. It is very legendary.Mobei people love and hate the Great Qi Emperor, hate him for killing so many generals in Mobei, love him as Mobei's son-in-law and help Mobei to quell the civil strife.According to the usual practice, the emperor will visit her at Ganquan Palace tonight.She was a little flustered, her mission was to seduce him and give birth to a prince for him to consolidate the relationship between Mobei and Daqi.Although Emperor Daqi was very nice, she didn't like him, and she didn't want to sacrifice her first night.

Not only did Ulan Rongruo not want to hand over her first night, Zhao Xiyan didn't want her first night either.At night, Zhao Xiyan had dinner in Weiyang Palace, Haosheng and Xia Shuning explained that they were just going to sleep for a night as usual, and they would not really be lucky with Ulan Rongruo.Zhao Xiyan could also tell that Ulan Rongruo didn't like her either, and was forced to marry into Daqi's harem.Since Zhao Xiyan knew about this gift, he has mastered everything about Ulan Rongruo.How could a helpless woman fall in love with a husband she didn't understand.If she hadn't been forced to help her, she wouldn't have married far away.Xia Shuning originally believed in Zhao Xiyan, and after such an explanation, she had even more confidence in Zhao Xiyan, and she suddenly felt a little sympathetic to this woman who couldn't help herself and had a rough fate.

Ulan Rongruo was taken care of after taking a bath, and she sat by the bed in a palace attire and waited for Zhao Xiyan, waiting for nothing.She was very conflicted, she wanted to keep her innocence, but also hoped that Emperor Daqi would come tonight.She is a princess sent by Mobei. According to the custom, the emperor will definitely come to honor her tonight. If the emperor doesn't come, she will be looked down upon by Daqi.If Wulan Kacha knew about it, it would be bad for her mother.Just when the red candle was halfway through, there was a notification sound.

"The Emperor is here!"

Ulan Rongruo's heart missed a beat, and her heart was beating wildly.As the footsteps got closer, she became more nervous and her heart beat faster, almost jumping out of her mouth.No matter how nervous he was, he still walked up to her.Seeing her being so nervous, Zhao Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the white silk handkerchiefs on the bed were all arranged.He thought that Ulan Rongruo would seduce him tonight, it was a difficult performance tonight.Seeing her so nervous, I'm afraid she won't want to, so that's exactly what she wants.Zhao Xiyan stood in front of her, and she hurriedly saluted.

"The concubine has seen the emperor."

"Concubine Shu, don't be too polite, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Xiyan was sitting by the bed, and Ulan Rongruo was also sitting by the bed, and they didn't speak.The servants in the bedroom knew what was going to happen next, so they all retreated, put out a few palace lanterns, and closed the door.The two sat on the bed silently for a long time, Ulan Rongruo stretched out his slightly trembling hands and unbuttoned his body as if giving up.As soon as his hand reached the first button, Zhao Xi stretched out his hand and made an unnecessary gesture.Ulan Rongruo was very astonished, was it the first night that he had offended the Emperor Da Qi because of nervousness?Seeing her terrified eyes, Zhao Xiyan opened his mouth.

"I know that your fate is too bad, and you can't help but marry Daqi. You don't have to sacrifice yourself, I don't mean to be lucky for you."

"Your Majesty... but the concubine annoyed you?"

"No, you didn't marry into Daqi voluntarily. Mobei Dahan married you to me, nothing more than to strengthen the marriage between the two countries. You are also a poor talent at sixteen, so you have to leave your hometown. My imperial sister is also sixteen and still has no worries. My little girl. You have no intention of this marriage, and neither do I. Tonight is just a formality, and I will not touch you, don't worry."

"How does the emperor know this?"

"How come I don't know this, you don't have to worry about it. You don't have to be nervous now, I promised not to touch you, I promise you everything. You stay in the harem for a few years, and when you find a good time, how about I let you go?"

"Can……"

"What do you want to say about your biological mother?"

Ulan Rongruo didn't know why Emperor Daqi knew so much, even his own mother knew, her pupils widened.

"Next year I will write a letter to Mobei Dahan, saying that Concubine Shu misses her family and asks him to send your mother here when paying tribute. From then on, you and your mother will be free."

"The emperor really?"

"Tonight, you cooperate with me to play this scene well, and what I say is true, of course."

"Why is the emperor... like this?"

"I already have someone I love."

Ulan Rongruo thought that she was outstanding in appearance and talent, and that a man would jump at him like a hungry wolf when he saw him.This emperor is quite unusual, I thought he performed the dance that day, but he was just like those men, who would have expected it to be like this tonight.She had already made up her mind to dedicate her body to Emperor Daqi for the sake of her mother, and to bear children for him.Anyway, even if you don't want to, so what?She suddenly remembered that the emperor's eyes were always looking at a woman, and that woman was wearing graceful and luxurious clothes, and she was also looking back at the emperor with affection.

"But the imperial concubine?"

"You are very smart."

Ulan Rongruo was a little envious of Xia Shuning, for the sake of her, the emperor didn't even visit her.She was also a little frustrated, how could there be a man who could be lucky to her, but didn't touch her at all.Zhao Xiyan didn't talk nonsense with her any more, took a quilt from the bed and spread it on the chaise longue beside him, and lay down on it.He has to go to bed early tomorrow, in order not to be found out that he is not concubine Linxing Shu, he has to get up early tomorrow to create a false impression.Ulan Rongruo stared blankly at Zhao Xiyan's series of actions, feeling a little angry in her heart.Zhao Xiyan was tired all day and didn't want to get entangled with her, so he lay on the chaise longue and closed his eyes to get sleepy.Ulan Rongruo couldn't get over the shock for a long time, this emperor was beyond her expectation.She was a little frustrated and secretly happy, she preserved her innocence, and she was able to explain to Ulan Kacha even when the emperor came.Tonight, Zhao Xiyan specially ordered that the maids and eunuchs are not allowed to wait outside the door, and the respect room is not allowed to listen to the corner, so that he can lie down so easily tonight.If the eunuchs in the respect room came to listen to the corner and found no movement, they would have to rush to the queen mother's palace to complain the next day.The empress dowager knew what was going on with the emperor, but the palace didn't know, so she didn't have to make trouble.I still have to make some noise, he has no friendship with this concubine Shu, how can I make some noise?It took Wulan Rongruo a long time to come out of the shock. She took off her clothes and laid down on the bed lightly, her eyes still on Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan was dozing off, he shared a room with Ulan Rongruo alone, and didn't dare to really fall asleep at all.In case he fell asleep, what should this Ulan Rongruo do?Ulan Rongruo lay on the bed with the curtains on by the dim candlelight, staring at Zhao Xiyan's sleeping face all the time.This emperor is really good-looking, he seems to be very different from those smelly men.I don't know how happy the imperial concubine he likes is.Thinking about it, and not knowing where the moon rose outside, Ulan Rongruo fell asleep.

Zhao Xiyan didn't sleep all night last night, lying on the imperial concubine chair, his body was already falling apart.Seeing that it was almost an hour, he got up.He ran to Ulan Rongruo's bed and woke Ulan Rongruo up. He picked up the white silk handkerchief, slashed his arm, and immediately blood dripped out. He wiped off the blood with the silk handkerchief.Hastily took off the clothes on his body, rubbed them and threw them on the ground, and rubbed Ulan Rongruo's clothes along the way, throwing them in all directions.Immediately afterwards, the mattress was also messed up, and someone was called to wait for him to wash.Hearing the emperor's order, the court ladies filed in to wait for Zhao Xiyan and Concubine Shu to wash up.Zhao Xiyan quickly put on the court clothes and washed up, but he always felt that something was wrong.Zhao Xiyan had washed up, and Ulan Rongruo had also washed up, and was doing her makeup in front of the bronze mirror.At this time, the nurse in charge entered the room to collect the Yuan handkerchief, and saw that the white square was full of bright red, she took it away with a happy face.Seeing that it was almost time to go to court, Zhao Xiyan left very relieved.Before leaving, I left a few words.

"Concubine Shu is here for the first time, you should take good care of her."

"The slave (servant) obeys."

"If Concubine Shu is missing something, I'll just send someone to come and find the queen. I'm about to go to court, so you have to rest, and you don't have to pay the queen mother today."

"Chen and concubine respectfully send the emperor."

Zhao Xiyan went to court, leaving Ulan Rongruo behind.All the servants in the room knelt down to congratulate her for being favored by the emperor.Ulan Rongruo was the first concubine conferred by the emperor since he ascended the throne, and she was also the only concubine favored by the emperor besides the imperial concubine.Ulan Rongruo was a little embarrassed, she was not favored last night, it was just a show.Soon the imperial dining room delivered five red soup and some meals for assisted pregnancy.Ulan Rongruo was very embarrassed, but he promised the emperor to play well, so he used it all.

The Yuanpa was sent to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother didn't have much reaction. The bloodstain was fresh and it was clear that the emperor had put it on it on purpose.Last night, the Empress Dowager sent someone to eavesdrop, but there was no movement at all.But Su Qingshu didn't know about it, and really thought that Zhao Xiyan was lucky to have Ulan Rongruo last night.I have always been worried that Zhao Xiyan's identity would be leaked, and I was jealous that Ulan Rongruo was lucky.Back then when she married Zhao Xiyan, both of them were drugged that night, and they really got married, and Yuanpa really became popular.She didn't know that Yuan Pa was made by Zhao Xiyan, and she was already crying in Fengqi Palace.No matter how hard Ying Er tried to persuade her, she couldn't persuade her, so she sat on the edge of the bed and cried.

The author has something to say:

Your empress is already crying

Concubine Shu still learns the rules from the queen

it's over, it's over, it's over
