Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Canonization

After the queen was executed, there was no leader in the harem, and people were in panic. The emperor asked me to take care of the harem affairs on my behalf. I tried my best and did things well, so I managed the whole palace in an orderly manner, which was highly praised by others. However, it is unavoidable that the future queen's choice is the most discussed in the court, inside and outside the palace. If they are ranked by name, the position of empress must be inherited by me who is honored as the imperial concubine.What's more, I am still the favorite concubine of the harem, and the emperor has always expressed his intention to appoint me as the queen. It seems that it is only natural and understandable for me to be the queen.

But the reality is not so optimistic.The voices of opposition from the ministers in the court are the most intense. The reason is that I am still eighteen years old, with the lowest qualifications in the palace, and I have no heirs, so I am not good enough to be a queen. When Prime Minister Right informed me of this situation, his face was filled with worry.He asked me: "I don't know why the empress keeps telling the veterans to stand still. Otherwise, if the old ministers go up to the emperor, the chances of the empress winning will be greater." I smiled, and said lightly: "Why do we need to join in the fun? The hall is bustling with people, but you are the only one who refuses to express your opinion. The emperor will ask you sooner or later. You said it was you who took the initiative to bring it up convincingly." , or is it easier to be convinced when the emperor asks you to respond calmly?"

The Prime Minister on the right understood it, and he couldn't hide his admiration in his tone, "Your Majesty is not in a hurry when things happen, and she is so calm, it is really admirable." I lightly raised my willow eyebrows, noncommittal, and then asked: "Then in the opinion of all the courtiers, who should be appointed as queen?" The Prime Minister on the right pondered, and replied: "There are different opinions and different opinions, but in general, the choice is made among the remaining two concubines—Concubine Yanshu and Concubine Shuxian." I smiled lightly and said: "Maybe you don't know yet? After coming down to court this morning, Concubine Yan Shu has already written to the emperor to petition the emperor to become a monk and practice cultivation, praying for the emperor and the Dayin Kingdom."

Prime Minister Right was startled and couldn't believe it. "This is not surprising. Concubine Yan Shu was not a combative person, maybe the death of the empress made her feel the coldness of the world..." Prime Minister Right nodded, "King Qingling's hobby is also a big disadvantage... Concubine Yanshu's doing this is also a good way to protect herself wisely." "Then only concubine Shuxian is left..." Prime Minister You analyzed, "Concubine Shuxian's natal family is dignified, her old father is quite prestigious in the court, and her son, King Duanyu, is becoming more and more prestige, I am afraid it will be a Empress is a strong and powerful competitor..."

I said approvingly: "Master Li is really good at analyzing things." The Prime Minister on the right looked up at me, and asked in amazement: "Your Majesty is so calm and unhurried, could it be that you have already thought out a plan, have you already thought of a strategy to deal with it?" I smiled lightly, took a sip of tea, and replied leisurely: "How can I be willing to make wedding dresses for others?" In the evening when the emperor came to Jujiu Palace, I hurriedly welcomed him to his seat, and thoughtfully put a square red satin pillow behind him. The emperor leaned over, looking a little tired, he breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to talk to me about the imperial court's matter of setting up a queen, with an angry look on his face as he spoke.

"Those ministers are really stubborn. They didn't give me any face in the court. They rejected my proposal face to face, saying that you can't bear the heavy responsibility of being a queen..." Then the emperor sighed angrily, "Oh! Let them meddle in their own business!" I took the tea served by the dodder, took a sip and found that it was hot, and then handed it to the emperor, gently persuading: "The election of the emperor is not only a family matter, but also a national matter. They naturally care about it. They It’s also because he has a community in his heart and is loyal to the king.”

The emperor took the tea, took a sip, and his complexion improved a lot, then he took my hand and said with a sigh: "Nuxi, you are really sensible, you know the general idea, and you are smart... There is nothing wrong with being a queen like you." Sure, but I didn't expect the opposition from the whole court to be so loud..." I sneered in my heart, they were just looking down on me as a helpless orphan, if my father was a dignitary in the court, they would not dare to do this. I sat next to the emperor, with a sincere face, and said: "Actually, my concubine doesn't care about the queen's title. Your majesty treats my concubine very well, so what else do you dare to expect?" Then I Gently leaning his head on the emperor's shoulder, he murmured: "The concubine doesn't want anything, it is enough for the concubine to have the emperor, the emperor will protect the concubine, right?"

Although I couldn't see the emperor's expression, I knew that these words touched him, because I felt that he took my hand a little harder. After a long silence, the emperor finally said regretfully, "Then it can only be Concubine Shuxian..." Finally, I waited for this sentence. At this moment, I suddenly raised my head and asked, "So your majesty has decided to let King Duanyu inherit the throne?" The emperor was startled. I repeated again in an innocent tone: "Establishing Concubine Shuxian as the empress means establishing King Duanyu as the son of the first son. Does this mean that your majesty has decided that King Duanyu will inherit the throne?"

The emperor's hesitation to appoint the crown prince, coupled with the last secret support of the right prime minister, made the emperor finally resist all the opinions and make me the queen. There is a saying that goes, "It's a blessing in disguise, but you know it's not a blessing." My lack of heirs was an excuse for the ministers to oppose me, but it just made the emperor make up his mind to make me his heir. Qin Tianjian was ordered to observe the sky continuously, and finally predicted May 12 as the auspicious day for the canonization ceremony. And May is the most splendid season when peonies are in full bloom, and it is echoing with the days after the book, so it is rare for someone to take the opportunity to flatter me, spreading the word that making me the queen is the destiny of the heavens, and it is in accordance with the will of heaven.

The brocade weaving department rushed to make the robes overnight, and Luoyang brought in a steady stream of peonies of various varieties for the celebration. The harem concubines and court officials handed over congratulatory forms and gifts to congratulate me on being promoted to empress. For the local game at the banquet, there was an endless stream of people coming and going in the palace for a while, and rare treasures from all over the world gathered in the palace... I moved from Jujiu Palace to Fengyi Palace, which really made Shanshan and the others busy cleaning for quite a while.

I raised my head and looked around Fengyi Palace, and found that the surroundings were dark and gloomy, quite out of my mood. I ordered word by word: "Although the queen was simple during her lifetime, she ended up like this. This palace cannot follow suit. The palace wants to use gold and phoenix pillars, red thread as a blanket, crystal curtains, and jade pillows. Mirror with pearls, incense with deep water..." In April, the brocade weaving department finally sewed the robes and summoned the court painters to make portraits. Painter Shen is sixty-two this year, and his ancestors only painted portraits of emperors and empresses, and he has painted portraits of two generations of emperors and empresses, but when he painted me, he seemed a little at a loss and was very embarrassed. I myself was sitting at the head in a long robe and a phoenix crown on my head. Seeing his appearance, I couldn't help but smiled, and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Shen is so awkward? I have been sitting here for an hour in the morning, but my lord I didn’t lift a pen. Is this palace so ugly that it’s hard for adults to write?” The old man plopped down on his knees, kowtowed and explained: "Your Majesty is so graceful and radiant that ordinary people dare not look directly at her. Even if she tries to do so, she is only resembling in appearance but not in spirit. That's why the old minister has been afraid to write. Terrified and embarrassing." I got up, squeezed the sore back of my neck, went down and said: "Although you speak nicely, it sounds like prevarication to me. You have been drawing for half a month. Let me see how well you have done it." What does the painting of this Palace look like..." I walked to the dark yellow dragon pattern drawing paper, and saw that the outline of the portrait had been drawn. I saw that the painting was exquisite and delicate, and even the subtle patterns on the phoenix robe were clearly drawn. I nodded in satisfaction, turned around and said to Master Shen, "Your Majesty Shen is worthy of being a prestigious court painter. His painting techniques are so delicate that even this palace can't help but admire it. It's just..." I pointed to the upper face with only the outline of his face. Halfway through, the tone became a little harsher, "What is Mr. Shen planning to do?" Painter Shen was sweating, and replied tremblingly: "Old minister, old minister... not good..." I raised my eyebrows, and there was no doubt in my tone, and ordered: "The canonization ceremony is coming soon, but the portrait has not been painted yet, isn't it a joke? My palace will give you another day, think about it tonight, and tomorrow Be sure to finish the painting, you know?" Painter Shen had no choice but to wipe off his sweat and nodded, and left with a sad face. Shan Shan persuaded from the side: "Miss, I see that Mr. Shen didn't procrastinate on purpose, but there is indeed a difficulty. Why do you make it so difficult for him?" I glanced at her, I am afraid that there will be no other person besides Shanshan who can talk to me so openly. I replied: "There are many difficult things in this world, but things have to be done. A horse needs to be whipped to run fast." But unexpectedly, the next morning, painter Shen came to Fengyi Palace and told him that the painting had been completed. I glanced at him suspiciously, and unfurled the scroll with half-belief, and sure enough, the person in the painting was exactly like me, the same. A group of palace people came forward to watch and let out a low sigh. Chu Zi exclaimed: "The painting is so beautiful! It looks like a real empress..." Even Tusi, who has always been indifferent, couldn't help but praise: "It's really lifelike, especially these eyes are piercing, and the spirit is full of spirit between the hope, it really portrays the empress to the woods..." Shanshan also nodded and agreed, "It's really rare to be able to show the beauty of the young lady to the fullest without losing her majesty and dignity." I also looked at Master Shen in surprise, and asked: "Yesterday you were at a loss, how could you draw so well just based on impressions overnight? If I had known Master Shen, you have such a skill, I wouldn't have to sit there for several days suffered." Master Shen listened to my praise, smiled in agreement, hesitated, and finally knelt down and said: "My lady, forgive me, the old minister dare not lie to my mother, in fact, this is not what the old minister did..." "Oh? Then who else has such good writing skills?" I asked unexpectedly. Painter Shen knelt down and replied: "Yesterday when I was leaving the palace, I happened to meet Mr. Yuan. Mr. Yuan asked why I was frowning, and I told the truth. Mr. Yuan knew the old minister, so I took the pen for him, and finished the painting overnight... ..." I was startled, it turned out to be Yuan Yao... When I looked back at the lifelike painting, I was already full of emotions. Everyone in the world knows that I am the emperor's favorite concubine, so I do my best to organize the ceremony, hoping to get my appreciation in the future, so this post-book ceremony was held with great splendor, and it was immediately spread as a good story. When I was dressed in a phoenix robe and a jeweled phoenix crown on my head, I stood hand in hand with the emperor on a high platform overlooking Wanxiu rivers and mountains. My name was added to the roster of emperors and empresses, and was consecrated to the ancestral temple. Yes, I will be famous forever, forever in history, and future generations will always remember my name. At that moment, I finally knew what I had been looking forward to. It has to be said that power and glory are really pleasant things. But not everyone looked at this matter with a blessing attitude, and the attitude of the princes was very cold.King Nanying refused to attend the ceremony on the pretext of being in mourning, while King Qingling didn't even return to Beijing to congratulate him, but instead sent someone to send a letter with only one questioning question: So what happens after being honored? I looked at the back and put the letter on the candlelight expressionlessly, and it was swallowed by the flames in an instant. I don't know what he means, after being rich and honored, it's nothing more than that, ashes disappear, everything becomes empty. But still, something is different.Just like this precious Chengxintang paper, it has a delicate fragrance after burning, which is unmatched by other papers. It can be seen that even if paper is divided into high and low, people are naturally different. I saw Daji on the road that day, she was still surrounded by her, but she was no longer the arrogant and arrogant look she used to be. We stared at each other for a long time, and everything was self-evident. "I thought you wouldn't come..." I spoke first. Da Ji sneered, "I don't want to come, and I don't even want to see you. But I forced myself to come, and I want to see how you step on other people's souls to ascend to the queen's position step by step!" I trembled in my heart, but I still looked at her calmly, while Daji became more and more excited as she spoke, pointing at me and asking, "My queen mother has always been generous and kind to others, but because you coveted With a position in the middle palace, are you so cruel as to kill her? How are you at ease? How are you at ease living in Fengyi Palace?!" I just looked at her silently, and finally spoke for a long time: "Are you so sure about it? Are you so sure about protecting your queen mother? Who in this harem can say that he has never harmed anyone?" Then I said one word at a time Literally repeated again: "Who in this harem dares to say that he has a clear conscience?" Da Ji was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and then argued strongly: "But at least my mother and I have never treated you badly..." I asked back: "Daji, didn't you ever think of using me?" Da Ji was speechless. I said again in a calm tone: "I have shown mercy, otherwise Daji, do you think you can enter the palace safely?" Then I glanced at the dazed Daji and said indifferently: "From now on, Daji should stay at home and be a good husband." Godson, don't come to the palace again, because...there are no relatives in this palace anymore..." The first thing I do when I become queen is to fulfill my promise. I came to the Proton Hall. Wu Langhamu was very surprised to see me, he came forward to greet me coldly and said, "Good luck, the empress." "You knew already?" He sneered, "The conferment ceremony of the Queen's Empress was held with great splendor, and the emperor even issued an order to amnesty the world. It's so grand that it's hard not to know..." Hearing the thorns in his words, I felt a faint pain in my heart, but I quickly calmed down and said, "I'm here to discuss business with you." Wu Langhamu laughed disdainfully. "I can get you back to your country." This sentence affected him, and he finally turned his head to look at me with an expression of disbelief. "Really?" he asked doubtfully. I walked up to him and nodded seriously. He stared at me, but gradually regained his composure, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do?" "Marry Wu Ji and become the son-in-law of the Dayin Kingdom. Let the emperor rest assured of you and let you go back." There was no joy as expected, but he saw anger gradually gathering in his eyes, and finally he smiled back from extreme anger: "Don't bother the empress." Then he turned and said indifferently: "The empress, please go back." "Why? Don't you want to go back?" I asked eagerly. I didn't expect such a situation. He turned his head to look at me, with the anger in his eyes undiminished, and suddenly ran towards me. I retreated instinctively, but he stretched out his arms and imprisoned me on the mahogany pillar. He looked at me fixedly, with extremely sharp eyes, and said bitterly: "Tell me, how did you say such heartless words?" He was so close to me that I could even hear his slightly rapid breathing. The atmosphere and posture made me so embarrassed that I couldn't speak for a while. "You really never have me in your heart?" He asked in a deep voice, but without waiting for my answer, he bent down savagely to bite my lips. I instinctively turned my face to one side, and replied in horror: "No..." He stared at me blankly for a long while, then his arm suddenly dropped limply. "You go..." I turned my head to look at him, tried my best to ignore the hurt in his eyes, and said ruthlessly, "Prince, which beauty do you choose?" He froze for a moment, unable to answer. I met his eyes and said word by word: "Choose Jiangshan." Then I said firmly again: "Choose Jiangshan. Because beauties will change their hearts and betray, Jiangshan will not." He laughed loudly when he heard this, "No man has ever had such boldness. How did you say it so calmly?" Then he stopped laughing and asked me in a cold voice: "What is this? What's in it for you?" I felt a pain in my heart, I tried my best to ignore the contemptuous look he gave me, and replied: "You are the one who benefits the most." His expression was complicated, but I still caught a trace of helpless looseness in his eyes. When I was leaving, Wulanghamu suddenly said from behind: "Nuxi, I really regret knowing you." I froze in place and didn't answer. "I regret it, you are a woman like poison, but I don't know how long it will take you to forget..." After a period of time, the emperor came back from court and talked with me about Huihe’s protégé letter requesting to marry Wuji. For the emperor concubine to marry into a vassal state, it would be detrimental to the prestige of a great country. I smiled faintly, and said to the emperor: "The prince of Huihe has been with Dayin for nearly eight years, and he has already been infected with our country's customs and habits. He is half a native of Yin. If you marry Wu Ji to him, you can show your kindness. As for him, he can also show the demeanor of our great country, which is open to all rivers. How can we lose our prestige? Besides, I heard that the old Khan of Huihe favored concubines. What a hard work?" At the end I added another sentence, "But this is just my concubine's opinion, with such a famous name, your majesty must be more considerate." The emperor nodded thoughtfully, but he had already made up his mind. So a decree was issued to grant Wuji to Huihe's proson, give her the title of son-in-law, and release her to return to the country to inherit the crown prince after one month of marriage. I watched Wulang Hamu walking slowly on a tall horse. The palace gate in front had already been opened for him, and he was finally able to return to his hometown. The moment he crossed the palace gate, he looked back at the palace for the last time, his eyes looked at me so complicatedly, slowly he withdrew all his emotions, and left resolutely. He finally left and returned to where he belonged. All kinds of things with him in the past can't help but emerge before my eyes. I think that as time goes by, he will be gradually forgotten by me in the end, and it will become a memory of my girlhood. Wu Ji looked very happy, because she still didn't know where her happiness came from. When she happily left the palace with her sweetheart without favor, I looked at her and my heart filled with emotion, Wu Ji, you are really an unfilial daughter... So Wu Cainu, are you worth it? In the harem, I acted arbitrarily and only received the grace of the saints. I used the right prime minister to secretly expand my power above the court, and finally gained a firm foothold step by step. No one dared to disobey my will anymore, and all I saw were flattering and frightened faces, which made me really uncomfortable. The surface is calm. One day, she was very bored, so she strolled to Hui Xiuyi's Dielian Palace, and saw Hui Xiuyi teasing the fifteenth prince, Zhuan Ming, and she looked very fond of it. I saw Zhuan Ming was slightly startled, and asked in a deep voice: "So An Jieyu has..." Hui Xiuyi went forward to meet me, nodded to me, and then sighed with emotion. I resumed my usual indifferent demeanor, sat down at the top seat, and jokingly said, "Why are you sighing? Isn't this a good thing for you?" Hui Xiuyi shook her head and replied sadly: "Looking at this child reminds me of his mother. I think back when we entered the palace together, we were as close as sisters, and we swore to share blessings and sorrows..." After listening to Mo Ran, I turned my head to see Zhuan Ming, who was dressed in white children's clothes, playing with the doll in his hand happily, and murmured: "This child doesn't know that he is mourning for his biological mother..." The child probably sensed that I was looking at him and looked up at me, so he stopped playing and stood there in a daze. Hui Xiuyi nudged him forward, coaxing: "Ming'er, that's your mother's queen, called mother's queen..." Unexpectedly, as soon as the child approached me, his face turned pale and he cried out loudly. Everyone in the room was stunned for a while, Hui Xiuyi hurriedly explained with an embarrassing face: "Empress Empress, this child has seen life..." I took a sip of tea, smiled nonchalantly, and said, "Children are the most sensitive. He knows that I don't like him, and I don't get close to him..." When my nineteenth birthday was approaching, the emperor put his arms around me and asked what gift I wanted, and I finally hesitated to say what I had been thinking: "Your Majesty, I want to meet my two aunts..." The emperor was silent, but finally agreed to me. When the two aunts bowed respectfully in front of me in formal palace attire, I examined them carefully from above. They are all in their forties or fifties, but they look like ordinary middle-aged women, with fat bodies, and they no longer have the shadow of being beautiful when they were young. They are not like my mother... There was faint disappointment in my heart, and then I shook my head with a wry smile, what am I expecting. But I still enthusiastically went down to help them up personally, and asked someone to show them their seats, and they sat down with a face full of trepidation. They were a little cautious, and they didn't dare to touch the melon and fruit refreshments they served, and they spoke carefully and politely. I smiled cordially and said, "You are all elders of this palace, so restraint like this seems out of place." Only then did they relax a bit, and Xu Xu chatted with me about homework. I casually leaned on the low table and talked to them. This scene made my heart a little warm and soft. The thinner aunt looked at me, her eyes were red, she wiped her tears and said, "The Empress really looks like a little girl, and I can't help but think of her when she was still alive..." Her words also touched my wounds, and I couldn't help but sigh and feel sad. The auntie was sad for a while, and suddenly realized something, she quickly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped away her tears, and said, "Look at my concubine, today is a good day, but I let my concubine disturb... the empress don't want it Sad, this concubine thinks that the younger sister will feel infinitely relieved to see the empress's dignity and honor in the spirit of the sky..." I smiled wryly in my heart, thinking that if my mother is still here, how could the emperor have the face to see her again?What face do I have to see her again? At this time, Shanshan took the opportunity to change the subject and said: "Miss, the imperial meal is ready." Then I withdrew all my thoughts and got up to invite the two aunts to have lunch together. During the dinner, the first aunt was fluent in coping, and her words were pleasing, and she was a shrewd person at first sight; while the second aunt was relatively dull, her words were not speculative, and she was boring. I sighed in my heart, it is true that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of them is different. In the afternoon, the emperor came to Fengyi Palace. I knew that the emperor had a grudge against them, so I sent Shanshan to take them around the imperial garden and avoid it. Today's emperor was very interested, and he left after doing fish and water in the afternoon. I was sitting on the bed in a daze, when Tusi came in and said, "My aunt is asking to see you outside." I was slightly surprised, and asked casually, "Oh, did Shanshan bring them back so soon?" Cusi replied: "It's my aunt who came back early by herself." I didn't think much about it, I just said "uh" and ordered, "You tell her to wait first, and I'll go take a shower and change clothes first." Cussi led her away, but after a while she saw her aunt barging in. I was a little displeased, but I saw my aunt kneeling in front of me and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, don't take a bath without authorization!" I was a little confused when I heard it, but I heard my aunt repeating: "If the empress wants to give birth to an heir, don't go into the bath without authorization..." Seeing my still puzzled expression, my aunt got up and whispered in my ear: "After a man and a woman are in love, if a woman washes her body, the man's blood will also be excreted..." I blushed when I heard this, my mood was complicated, and I was speechless for a while. My aunt was also stunned for a while, and then sighed, took my hand, and said with motherly love and affection: "Poor child... your mother died early, and you are served by unmarried girls." , there is no one around to tell you anything..." Then she took out a small sachet from her robe, handed it to me and said: "This time the concubine came back early because she wanted to take advantage of the lack of people to present this to the empress. There are concubines who are outside the palace specially The concubine talisman that the empress asked for, I heard that the nunnery has always been very spiritual. The auntie understands the difficulties of the empress, and hopes that God can bless the empress..." I couldn't help being moved when I heard her words, and finally shed tears with aggrievedness. I kept the two aunts in the palace for half a month, named them Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Yu respectively, and bestowed them with rich rare and rare treasures, only then reluctantly let them out of the palace. Holding the sachet in my hand, I thought of the conception method taught by my aunt before she left, feeling shy and grateful in my heart. At this time Chu Zi took out a tray and said: "Madam, things are ready." I lifted up the red cloth and glanced at some valuable gold and silver jewelry, nodded, and ordered: "Go and deliver it to Mrs. Guo's residence." Chu Zi was about to take the order to leave, but Shanshan asked me a little surprised: "I don't know why the young lady rewarded Mrs. Guo Guo again?" I smiled and said: "There are also closeness among relatives, and my aunt is in my mind." Shanshan was taken aback for a moment, and said casually: "Mrs. Gu Guo is indeed good at communication. She has a clever mouth since she was a child, and she is also liked by Mrs. Madam. But when she was young, she was very arrogant and sharp. She picked the best in everything and didn't know how to be patient. Mrs. Yuguo and Mrs. Miss also don't like to fight. On the contrary, Mrs. Yuguo looks stupid, but she has quarreled with Mrs. Guoguo a few times in order to protect Miss..." Shanshan sensed my increasingly gloomy face, and quickly changed his words: "But Miss, it all happened when I was a child... Mrs. Guo is not bad." With infinite emotion in my heart, I sighed and said: "Yes, it's all happened when I was a child. If you hadn't mentioned it, I really don't know what she looks like. It can be seen that being unknown is not enough, it is better than Clever and cunning people are good." Then I took another look at the gold, silver and jewels, and ordered: "Send them to the Madam's residence instead." The emperor will be sixty-one years old after the first day of this year, and he is already aging. One day when the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, he suddenly said to me with infinite emotion: "I am old, and my hair has started to grow gray..." I thought to myself, when the emperor's hair grows white, the eunuchs would quietly pull it out and hide it, but now it's finally too much to cover up?So I couldn't help feeling a sense of sadness. The old emperor suddenly showed nostalgia for his family. He said: "I am too lonely in the palace. I miss my children and grandchildren. I want all the princes to return to the capital and enjoy the family happiness." Finally he Sighing again, he continued: "And it's time to select the best prince..." I was startled in my heart, but gently took the emperor's hand and put it on my lower abdomen, and murmured: "Your Majesty, you are not alone, there are concubines, and our children..." The emperor was taken aback. As the mother of the country, but also likes to have a dragon vein, what a noble status. I lay back, stroked my lower abdomen with my left hand, half-closed my eyes and listened comfortably to the flattering words of the concubine below. Suddenly I opened my eyes, and asked Concubine Shu Xian who was sitting below: "What was it like when Concubine Xian was pregnant with King Duanyu? My palace likes sour food very much, and my aunts all said that I would be the prince. Was Concubine Xian the prince?" Is that also the case?" Concubine Shuxian was startled, her face was a little embarrassed, and she replied: "It seems to be the same... It's been a long time, and I can't remember..." I smiled, and suddenly retched uncontrollably, and hurriedly took out the handkerchief to cover my mouth, and there was a sound of concern and condolences from below. After calming down a bit, I waved my hand and said: "I feel unwell, please step back first." After they all left, I felt exhausted and weak, so I lay down sickly, with my face pressed against the mat, feeling a bit of coolness, and then I felt better. At this time Chu Zi came in with a food plate, and she approached a little, I started to feel sick, and quickly ordered in disgust: "Take it away, I feel like vomiting when I smell it." Chu Zi looked at Shanshan hesitantly, Shanshan came over to persuade: "Miss, you haven't eaten all day, it's not good for your body..." My attitude towards Shanshan was a little better, I shook my head and said: "I can't eat..." Then there was another churn in my stomach, I leaned down again quickly, and vomited some acid water. The palace people looked at each other, helpless but helpless. I didn't expect pregnancy to be so uncomfortable... Then I remembered something again, and forced Chu Zi to say: "Go, quickly call Aunt Wang." The palace people did not dare to neglect, Aunt Wang was brought before me in a short while. Aunt Wang first persuaded me softly: "Miss, you can't do without food, you don't care about yourself, you should also cherish the fetus in your womb..." I stretched out my hand to stop her from continuing, but asked straightforwardly: "Is this child a boy or a girl?!" Aunt Wang was startled, and then replied in a difficult way: "Miss is only three months pregnant, so I can't see it yet..." I suppressed all kinds of discomfort in my body and said viciously: "If it's a girl, I will kill her!" The palace people never expected that I would say these words, and they were all shocked. Shanshan stepped forward to persuade: "How can the young lady say such capricious words... Both the prince and the emperor are the flesh and blood of the young lady." "No...I hate it, it tortures me so much..." Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Miss, you are talking angry... I don't feel sorry for my child." I just lay there powerlessly, my face turned pale, and I murmured: "No, it can only be a boy, it can only be..." After pregnancy, her temper became increasingly arrogant and irritable. Because he is sensitive to smell, he ordered that no incense should be used in the palace for three months. But one day, when he smelled a fragrance from a beautiful woman, he felt displeased, so he pointed at her coldly and said, "Stick dead." The eunuchs on the left and right did not dare to neglect her, so they went forward to tie her up. The beauty looked terrified, and quickly explained: "Empress, my concubine does not have incense... The concubine does not..." I didn't want to listen to her sophistry, so I waved my hand impatiently, and the eunuchs mercilessly swung their sticks down at the beauty's slender waist. The beauty let out a scream, and the eunuchs dropped their sticks again, and there was another burst of wailing. The wooden stick and the tragic screams followed one after another, and after a while, spots of blood oozed from the back of the beauty's snow-white clothes. Chu Zi and Tu Si couldn't bear to look at it any longer, so they advised me: "Your Majesty, this scene is tragic, and it's not good for your Majesty's pregnancy, so let's avoid it." I sneered and said: "I am very happy to hear this." Then I ordered the eunuchs dignifiedly: "Keep fighting!" The beauty rolled on the ground in pain, begging for mercy endlessly. "Empress, the concubine really doesn't have incense... Please spare the concubine, the concubine is about to die..." Then she suddenly remembered something, and said eagerly: "Empress, the concubine has just been to Shangqiuyuan Picking flowers, maybe I was contaminated with the fragrance of flowers there, the concubine really didn't have incense..." Only then did I accept the order with a soft snort, and left indifferently with all the palace servants. Later, the beauty died before she could be healed, so all the concubines did not dare to set foot in the imperial garden. Another day, when he was eating, he found a small piece of minced ginger. He was so angry that he pulled the cook out and beheaded him. And because he likes sour food, he ordered Anji, Changxing and other places to send green plums to the imperial palace continuously. "It's more than that. Faced with Ming Jieyu's kind and gentle reminder, I raised my eyebrows slightly, and said indifferently: "I am a queen, so why don't you eat green plums if you want?" Regarding the above, the emperor adopted a conniving attitude, even he reduced the frequency of aromatherapy, and asked the palace servants to take good care of it and not to annoy me. I know what he is like, he has a vague guilt for this child, but I have an indescribable hatred for this child. So I spoiled, he indulged. I was pregnant and couldn't be favored for nearly a year, but the concubines who have sex with the emperor every month are still under my arrangement. However, when I was pregnant in June, news came that the emperor was staying in Mingjieyu Palace. At that time, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. Although I quickly recovered, the anger in my heart was burning fiercely and could not be extinguished. I clenched my hands tightly and questioned countless times in my heart, Ming Jieyu, what is your intention in doing this? When she came to Fengyi Palace again, she was no longer my sister Jingshu, and had already been promoted to Zhuang Chongyuan. She knelt in front of me, weeping softly, "Nuxi, I didn't mean to..." I sneered, "Didn't you do it on purpose? You can avoid pets for so many years, can you finally bear it now?" Her face was pale, she shook her head and said, "Nuxi, you don't understand, I have reasons..."
