Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 115

Zhao Xiyan ascended the throne as the Tianyuan Emperor of Daqi, and at the beginning of his ascension, all kinds of wastes were waiting for prosperity.Zhao Xiyan was very diligent in administration. He went to court before dawn every day, and was very late to correct memorials every night.Father-in-law Degui was getting old, Zhao Xiyan followed the late emperor's order and sent him to Tailing to guard the late emperor's mausoleum.He lamented that Father-in-law Degui had taken care of the late emperor for 50 years, so he personally carried a plaque and sent it to Father-in-law Degui's hometown, asking him to honor his ancestors.The noble father-in-law is old and not short of money, and the eunuch has no sons or daughters. What he cares most about is the family lintel.Zhao Xiyan's actions made him feel grateful, and vowed to always guard the late emperor, and even go down to serve the late emperor after death.Zhao Xiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that, so what's so exciting about a plaque with four big characters?After Degui's father-in-law left, Zhao Xiyan always felt that everyone around him who served him was always thinking about Xiangyun.It's a pity that the imperial palace is different from the palace. The imperial palace does not need butlers and servants, only eunuchs.Zhao Xiyan felt that Xiangyun should not be asked to enter the palace purely for his own selfishness.Xiangyun is still not married at this age, he wants to keep the baby and go to the bridal chamber.Zhao Xiyan thought of Xiangyun's shy look towards the girl, and stopped correcting the memorial for a moment.

Zhao Xiyan wanted to quit several times. This emperor is really not human.He wanted to move to Weiyang Palace to live with Xia Shuning, but before the things could be moved there, the spittle of those officials spit again.He just wants to live with his wife, what's wrong with the rules?As a result, these officials said directly that the emperor and the empress are husband and wife, and if the emperor moved to live with the empress, it would be a good story.If the emperor moved to live with the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine would become the target of public criticism. It would be bad if there were rumors that the imperial concubine was bewitching the Sacred Heart.Zhao Xiyan was so angry that he could only suppress it.Although the speaker's speech is really not very pleasant, and the more he listens, the more angry he gets, but it is the truth.I have never heard of any dynasty or generation of emperors who directly moved to live with their concubines.Zhao Xiyan could only live alone in the Feishuang Palace where the emperors of all dynasties lived, and felt really awkward.In the evening of that day, Zhao Xiyan was still correcting the memorial, and Director Wang of the respect room came to invite Zhao Xiyan to read it with that pitifully small signboard.Without even thinking about it, Zhao Xiyan directly flipped through the signboard of the imperial concubine.Manager Wang sighed, the imperial concubine was really favored by the emperor, the emperor had been on the throne for three months, and the number of times he went to the harem was as many as five fingers could count, and every time he only looked at the imperial concubine.

When it was later, the eunuchs urged Zhao Xiyan to go to Weiyang Palace.Zhao Xiyan asked about the time and it was really late, so he hurriedly put down the ink brush.Zhao Xiyan was tired all day, and his bones and muscles were loose, so he insisted on walking instead of sitting.The distance from Feishuang Palace to Weiyang Palace is very short, Zhao Xiyan had just walked to the gate of Weiyang Palace, and seeing that there were still three steps to the gate, a court lady rushed towards Zhao Xiyan's arms with a basin of water.Sure enough, Zhao Xiyan's clothes were wet, and the maid saw that she had bumped into the emperor and hurriedly kowtowed to admit her mistake.After all, Zhao Xiyan was also a serious prince who grew up in the deep palace. He had seen this kind of thing a lot.Zhao Xiyan was a little angry, but seeing that Ning'er was inside, she was such a kind person, it might be inappropriate to severely punish the people in her palace.Zhao Xiyan didn't say a word, and the maid tried her best to show off her younger and better face.Zhao Xiyan had a cold face, and the maid knew that something was wrong.Zhao Xiyan also knew that for a young emperor like him, the harem was so deserted that many people wanted to put their hands into his harem.He just happened to be able to use this court lady to show his attitude, which can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life! This servant did not deliberately bump into you!"

"Your hands are really white and tender, so beautiful."

"Thank you, the emperor, for the compliment"

The maid thought that Zhao Xiyan was moved by seeing her face.After all, the empress, imperial concubine, and concubine Xian are all in their early twenties, and after following the emperor for so long, the emperor may have gotten bored of it long ago.And she is only twenty-eight years old, upright, youthful and beautiful.It's a pity that this emperor is different from the previous emperors.

"Your hands don't look like working, so go to the Clothes Bureau tomorrow."

The palace maid was stunned, didn't the emperor just now praised her for her beautiful hands?Why did he change his face all of a sudden, and punished himself to go to the Laundry Bureau to do laundry.Before the maid could react, Zhao Xiyan had already entered Weiyang Palace.Weiyang Palace kept lighting the lamps, for fear that the little princess in the palace would run around and be unwatchable.Zhao Xiyan was so excited that he didn't want to pass it on, so he went straight into Xia Shuning's bedroom.Xia Shuning was teasing Zhao Muning at this time, and the maid saw that the emperor was coming, and was about to pass on the news.But Zhao Xiyan made a booing gesture, and the maids all understood and went out.Zhao Xiyan lightly touched Xia Shuning's back and covered Xia Shuning's eyes.Xia Shuning knew that the enemy was coming when she smelled the sweet-scented osmanthus, so she didn't poke him.

"But sister Yu?"

Zhao Xiyan smiled but did not answer

"But Ruoshui?"

Zhao Xiyan smiled but did not answer

"Who are you? If you don't speak, I will call someone."

"It's me! Ning'er!"

"Why is Mr. Xiang here? There aren't many memorials today?"

"I want to accompany you too."

"I miss you."

Xia Shuning put Zhao Muning on the small bed, and Zhao Xiyan buried her head in her shoulder, yearning for the unique fragrance of her body.Xia Shuning was used to being heard by him, and used to making noises, but she still couldn't help but feel her heart surging and her cheeks flushed.

"Sir, don't make trouble, the child is still here."

Zhao Xiyan immediately called the nanny who had been taking care of Zhao Muning, and the nanny understood Zhao Muning and took her away to put her to sleep.The court ladies were very sensible, they drew down all the curtains in Weiyang Palace, and lighted incense thoughtfully.Zhao Xiyan always felt that the time was too short, there were too many government affairs, and the time with Xia Shuning was too short.Zhao Xiyan held Xia Shuning in his arms and talked about love for a long time. Xia Shuning laughed at him because they were so old, they had been married for so long, and they still talked about love all day long like those newlywed young couples.Zhao Xiyan cherished it very much, everyone said that the spring night was short, and Zhao Xiyan finally realized it after becoming the emperor.Zhao Xiyan reached out to the tie of Xia Shuning's belt with ease, and with such a light tug, the clothes fell to the ground.The maid guarding the gate came in lightly and turned off several lights, holding back her shyness.

Early in the morning, Xia Shuning wore a white skirt and took care of Zhao Xiyan after she washed and put on a dragon robe. Zhao Xiyan was worried that she would catch a cold and covered her with some clothes.All the affection between Xia Shuning and Zhao Xiyan was as deep as when they were in the palace, and it never changed. The old mothers and maids who served them all praised the love between the emperor and the imperial concubine.Especially these old mothers praised the imperial concubine for her good fortune. Since ancient times, the emperor was so ruthless, and she was the first person in the whole group to be favored by the emperor.After Zhao Xiyan used the tea that Xia Shuning personally brewed, he went to court refreshed.Before Zhao Xiyan went to court, the person who led Xia Shuning told her several times to wait for him to come back for lunch.Seeing him saying this in front of so many court ladies and old ladies, Xia Shuning felt a little shy and embarrassed.Xia Shuning didn't know that the new emperor's favor and special liking for Jiaofang had spread throughout Daqi, and all women in Daqi would follow Xia Shuning's example to find a husband who was as considerate and dedicated as the emperor.The manager of the imperial dining room is a fine person, every time Zhao Xiyan stays in Weiyang Palace, the next day he will definitely send food for the pregnant woman.

The emperor and the imperial concubine are childhood sweethearts and lovers, and the common people are envious and set them as role models.But from the perspective of the court, this is not the case. Since ancient times, it is not a good thing for an emperor to favor only one person. As an emperor, he should be exposed to both rain and dew.Of course, the court could not discuss matters of the harem, so the ministers began to attack the queen mother, asking the emperor to choose a concubine, and even rain and dew.Who is the queen mother?That is the king of the harem who stands out among the three thousand beauties, and he knows what it means when he hears this.The queen mother also felt that her children should not only have such a few concubines, but also felt that they should spread their branches and leaves, and promised to persuade the emperor to choose concubines.Now that her own child has become the emperor, and she can make a woman pregnant, she only needs to do some tricks to hide her identity firmly.With more branches and leaves, and more princes and daughters, the palace can be more lively.The Empress Dowager really ran non-stop to Feishuang Palace to talk to Zhao Xiyan and persuade him to draft a concubine.Zhao Xiyan was not stupid either, he knew it was those "gossip women" from the previous dynasty who instigated his mother's rebellion.Zhao Xiyan kept shirking that he was busy with business and had no intention of going to the harem, and even asked his uncle to testify that he was busy with government affairs and lost a lot of money.When the queen mother heard what her brother said, she didn't force Zhao Xiyan to choose a concubine, she just said to take it easy.Then he ordered the imperial hospital to take care of the emperor's body, and he must be strong.Zhao Xiyan had to follow the Queen Mother Yi's orders to eat three meals a day, and he couldn't laugh or cry, he felt helpless but had to eat.

Seeing that the queen mother was persuaded by the emperor again, the courtiers rushed to tell the queen mother that the emperor should be exposed to rain and dew, and that the queen's birth of a son is the way to stabilize the country.This time the queen mother was not moved by the courtiers. The queen mother had a deep prejudice against the queen, and she would rather not have this son.Zhao Xiyan naturally knew about it, but chose to remain silent.Su Qingshu insisted on inviting Zhao Xiyan to his palace, but every time he was pushed away by the excuse of busy government affairs.Zhao Xiyan spared time every day to teach the two boys homework, but he didn't have time to go to the queen's palace.On this day, both the empress and the concubine Xian sent people to the study to invite the emperor to their respective palaces, Zhao Xiyan was very puzzled, the empress asked him to have another reason, what did the concubine Xian invite him to do?Qiu Ruyu was punctured by Han Qiuyi, so she didn't dare to hide it. Han Qiuyi also generously didn't ask Qiu Ruyu to keep chastity for Zhao Xiyan, but persuaded her to grab the emperor's heart.For this reason, Qiu Ruyu was given a lot of tricks, but Zhao Xiyan never went to their palace, no amount of tricks would work.

Zhao Xiyan couldn't stand the courtiers always reaching out to his harem, so he took the initiative to talk about drafting concubines in the court hall.Sure enough, there was an overwhelming response, and one after another played for the emperor's draft.Zhao Xiyan listened quietly, and finally suppressed the matter of the draft on the grounds that the late emperor's new funeral was only a few months old, and it was not appropriate to have a big wedding in the palace.After Zhao Xiyan suppressed the matter of the draft, his ears finally relaxed a little, and he still ran diligently to Weiyang Palace every day.

On this day, Zhao Xiyan was correcting the memorial in the study room, and when he was thirsty, he called someone to make tea.After the tea was served, Zhao Xiyan was still looking at the memorial, and took a sip from the teacup.Zhao Xiyan was stunned, the smell was very familiar, a bit like Xiangyun brew.Zhao Xiyan turned his head to see that it was really Xiangyun who had been with him since he was a child!Zhao Xiyan was very happy, but Xiangyun was not used to wearing the clothes of a little eunuch now.

"Good boy! Why did you enter the palace? Are you missing me? It doesn't look good to dress like this!"

"The little one has been by the emperor's side since he was a child, and served him from the capital to the palace. Now that you are the emperor, I have no one to serve you."

"Didn't I ask you to help me take a good look at Prince Duan's Mansion?"

"The little one still wanted to be by the emperor's side, so he entered the palace on his own initiative."

"you!"

Zhao Xiyan saw that his face was a little pale, the beards on his chin were gone, and it became extremely smooth.I knew it in my heart, during the three months since I didn't see Xiangyun, he actually got clean.

"The younger family has an older brother and a younger brother, and I'm the only one who can carry on the family line. But I just want to follow you!"

"You don't want a big girl?"

"Your majesty, don't laugh at me. Every time I see a big girl, I am too shy to lift my head. I am a bachelor for the rest of my life. Why not go to the palace to serve you, the little one is happy to see the emperor every day!"

"Just your sweet mouth."

Zhao Xiyan sighed, he was very used to Xiangyun serving him, but the price was too high.Zhao Xiyan was really guilty and distressed towards Xiangyun in his heart, and ordered Xiangyun to be the chief eunuch, and from now on he would only serve him personally.He also rewarded a lot of gold, silver and jewels, making Xiangyun's eldest brother a small official.Zhao Xiyan has been on the throne for three months, and many things have come to an end.He suddenly remembered Yan Fengjun who was under house arrest, so he called someone to ask her if she was recovering from her injuries.The female doctor who served Yan Fengjun came back. Yan Fengjun had many wounds on his body and lost a lot of blood, but he was treated in time, and now he needs to be raised for another month to recover.Zhao Xiyan continued to order, but Yan Fengjun was still not allowed to go out, nor was he allowed to be visited.As long as she doesn't go out or ask someone to visit her, she will satisfy all her requirements, and she will eat, drink and dress on the same level as a concubine.Like Yan Fengjun, there is also Wu Qingyao, but unfortunately Zhao Xiyan seems to have completely forgotten her, so she can only follow the queen mother all the time, nameless and insignificant.

Zhao Xiyan suppressed the draft for a while, and went to Weiyang Palace openly and secretly every day.Xia Shuning always scolded him, and always ran towards her, which was well known throughout the country.Two months later, Zhao Muning was already over a year old.Xia Shuning was reading that day, and suddenly felt nauseous and very uncomfortable.I thought it was because of the hot weather, and I ate too much cold melon because I was greedy for cold, so I hurriedly asked the maid to bring a cup of hot water.But Xia Shuning thought about it in a blink of an eye, she hadn't received a monthly letter for two months, maybe... Xia Shuning caught her own pulse, and she was really pregnant again, Xia Shuning was surprised, happy and ashamed.This person is not as serious as the prince when he became the emperor, and he always comes here every now and then.Now that she was pregnant again, Xia Shuning couldn't laugh or cry.She wasn't surprised either, Zhao Xiyan clung to her tightly, and the queen mother fed the two of them daily tonics, so it was as they wished.Xia Shuning was very happy, and sent Ruoshui to Xianfu Palace to report the good news to the Queen Mother first.

Today, Zhao Xiyan finished correcting the memorial early, and came to Weiyang Palace for dinner.Zhao Xiyan had a sweet tooth, and when he saw the hot and sour dishes on the table, he frowned.Xia Shuning knew that he had this expression. Xia Shuning picked up some vinegared potato shreds with chopsticks, and Zhao Xiyan ate them with a frown.

"Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious."

"Do you feel different today?"

"Did the royal chef get scolded by his wife today? How did he cook such a table of dishes?"

"You are going to be scolded by your wife today, fool?"

Xia Shuning took his hand and put it on her stomach, Zhao Xiyan only realized that this is great news!Zhao Xiyan couldn't believe it, did this happen again?

"Ning'er, this, this, this..."

"Um"

Zhao Xiyan clapped his hands, extremely happy.Immediately ordered his uncle Xia Changqing to enter the palace immediately and live in Weiyang Palace to take care of the fetus. He also ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to keep close to Weiyang Palace for everything, and the Imperial Dining Room even gave strict instructions.Xia Shuning was pregnant again, but Zhao Xiyan was always smiling every day.When he went to court, he was in a particularly good mood. If someone did something good, he would immediately reward him.If you do something wrong, you will not be punished heavily.At the beginning, the courtiers didn't know what was going on. It wasn't until the news that the imperial concubine was pregnant came from the harem that they suddenly became enlightened.
