Seventy-second bowl of soup (1)
[She was supposed to love him with all her heart, but she was let down in every possible way, and she had no regrets until death. Burning fire, obsessed with obsession.] It was another night from dark to dawn.
Today, it's fifteen.
On the night of the fifteenth day, His Majesty was supposed to come to her palace to spend the night, but he never came. I am afraid that the world will not believe me if I tell it, after a stately country, for the next year, I am still a virgin.
"Your Majesty..." The personal female officer had concern in her eyes, she wanted to persuade but didn't know how to persuade her, she just spoke cautiously, "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, maybe..."
Empress Wei leaned against the palace gate. She was naturally extremely beautiful, beautiful, dignified and gentle, but she did not please His Majesty. His Majesty is thinking about another concubine. And for the love in her heart, Empress Wei even wanted to help the emperor protect the concubine, acting like an empress and empress love in front of outsiders. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the emperor would not come to her Fengyi Palace. In this cold palace, the emperor dedicated all his heart to another woman.
He only loves her, only protects her, and even... only pampers her. Everyone said that His Majesty loved Empress Wei the most, but who knew that he didn't even bother to touch Empress Wei? Even if she was born as beautiful as a fairy, she also has an ugly face in his eyes, who told her that she was born in the Wei family.
The Wei family was in charge of a million-strong army, and there were many sons. The emperor had only been on the throne for only two years, and his foundation was still unstable, so he took the initiative to marry the daughter of the Wei family, who is now Empress Wei.
The emperor was very talented and handsome, he didn't even need to please Empress Wei, he easily won her heart. Such a stupid woman, in his hands, is the best bargaining chip to restrain the Wei family. The Wei family had all male sons, and the only daughter was carried into the palace like a jewel, and she was willing to dedicate herself to the emperor, helping him to stage a grand drama of harmony between the emperor and empress outside. The son of the Wei family saw that the emperor favored the empress Wei alone, and he also had a good impression of him. The emperor took advantage of this to nibble away at the whales and gradually took the Wei family into his pocket.
A really good emperor is cold-blooded, he can see through the use value of Queen Wei to him at a glance, and won her favor, but he never takes her to heart, and he doesn't even have the most basic respect for his wife.
"Your Majesty won't come." Queen Wei said flatly.
The female officer was about to cry, she had been with Empress Wei since she was a child, how could she bear to see Empress Wei being treated so wrongly by the emperor. "Your Majesty, why don't you tell Master and Young Master about this, if—"
"Flower branch, speak carefully." Empress Wei touched the delicately carved door rail with her finger, her eyes seemed to be deep in thought. "Don't let your father know."
They thought that she married someone they liked, and that person was the Nine-Five Supreme, who treated her tenderly and doted on her, and they were very happy for her. If they find out that this is not the case, with the fiery temper of the brothers in the family, they might embarrass His Majesty in the court, and the Wei family will inevitably be accused of contempt for the royal family.
But Huazhi heard that Empress Wei still wanted to cover up for the emperor. She was so angry and distressed that she almost shed tears. The empress cooks a sweet soup, which warms the body in the cold weather."
She thought that Empress Wei would refuse, but Empress Wei nodded: "You go, I am also a little hungry."
"yes!"
Queen Wei was the only one left around, she patted her forehead, not understanding where the powerlessness and boredom in her chest came from. Her love for His Majesty is like a river flowing unabated, but why... it began to subside at this moment? I haven't seen His Majesty for almost half a month. Could it be that because of this half-month of innocence and asceticism, I have become cold-hearted
Not only that, Queen Wei felt that she was gradually changing. Her smiles are getting less and less, and her tolerance and tolerance are getting worse and worse. Maybe in time, she will become a different person from before.
but.
but.
but…
but what
She always felt that something was about to move in the depths of her soul, and she was afraid that that thing would change her, so she suppressed it hard, but if this happened, she would be even more unhappy. From the day she entered the palace, she never had a happy day.
But she can't get out anymore, from the day she married His Majesty, she will live in this deep palace forever.
The sweet soup came soon, Queen Wei drank two sips, warming her heart and stomach, she seemed to feel much better. She fiddled with the spoon in her hand and lost her mind for a while, while Huazhi watched from the side very worried, always afraid that the empress would be devastated. Not long after, Empress Wei was going to rest, which made Huazhi very happy. Since entering the palace, every 15th day of the lunar new year, the empress will carefully dress up, put on the most beautiful clothes, and put on the most touching makeup , I started to wait from the afternoon, and waited and waited until it was dark.
Then wait from dark to late night, late night until dawn.
The emperor had never been to Fengyi Palace, so the empress would put on a thick layer of powder in the morning to cover up her haggardness. It's fine if it's just not being favored, what makes Hua Zhi unbearable is that the empress has to cover up for the emperor in front of people!
He was obviously wronged, so why should he swallow his anger and watch the emperor flirt with others
How can that woman compare to her mother? The emperor's heart is really confused!
But Huazhi never dared to say it, she didn't want to make the empress sad. The empress is kind and soft-hearted, she is the most beautiful and happiest person she has ever seen, she doesn't want to say some bad words to make her unhappy. If this kind of self-deceiving waiting and the sacrifice of moths to the flame can make the empress happy, then so be it.
Queen Wei had a nightmare.
In the dream, she was still doing things for His Majesty as she is now, covering up for him, prevaricating relatives for him, and even making suggestions for him, just for him to be able to stabilize the country. She even believed his words of treating the Wei family well after he took power!
Those heads!
Dad's, brothers'...
She had no mother since she was a child, and her father and elder brother loved her like an eyeball. How could she just watch them being beheaded for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason with intent to rebel? !
The wolf of the Wei family is ambitious and kills the nine clans! The queen has no virtue, and thinking that she has been with her for many years, she is exempted from the death penalty, sentenced to tattooing, face piercing and nose cutting, and thrown into the cold palace.
She knelt outside the imperial study for a long time, and when His Majesty came out, she was holding another woman by the arm.
This dream was so real that Queen Wei woke up in a cold sweat. She stared at the curtain in front of her, only to realize that her pajamas were soaked through.
Empress Wei didn't wake up the maids who were watching the night outside, she just felt that she was chilling all over, and now it was almost winter, and the temperature dropped sharply, but the earth dragon was burning in the hall early, and it was as warm as spring. Empress Wei hugged herself coldly.
that dream.
It was too scary and real, as if she had watched her relatives' heads fall in front of her. The majesty in the dream is still handsome and compelling, but the sarcasm on his face is extremely alienated. He wants her to kneel face to face with his father and brother, watching the separation of their heads and bodies.
So so cruel.
Cruel to the extreme.
Empress Wei felt that it was not only her body that was getting colder, but also her heart. Her heart was still beating, but if she could touch it, it must be icy cold. At this moment, her eyes are full of those rolling heads, those eyes of despair and pain, those... love and affection.
Even if she is killed by the Nine Clans, even if she is on His Majesty's side, her family still loves her.
Empress Wei lowered her head, her hands trembled and her body trembled slightly, but her expression gradually became hard. If she was an orchid like a spring breeze in the past, then at this moment she is a peony that cannot be approached.
Whether that dream is true or not, she doesn't want to explore in the future, but if she seriously studies His Majesty's state of mind, will he spare the lives of hundreds of Wei family members after she really helps His Majesty take power
Admit it, Wei Qinghuan, absolutely not. The emperor is the most honorable person in the world, how could he allow someone who once bowed his head to live in this world? Once the real power is in their hands, the Wei family will be the first to be killed!
Sooner or later, the Wei family will die.
Empress Wei's thoughts have never been so clear, she is not stupid, she is even very smart, her father once sighed, if she is a man, there will be no other elder brothers in the family.
It's not that she can't see the emperor clearly, she just doesn't want to see clearly, she would rather deceive herself and hypnotize herself than be reluctant to be the queen. But it's not so much that he doesn't want to be the queen, it's better to say that he doesn't want to be his wife.
So, since you are not willing to part with it, just hold it firmly in your hands.
Empress Wei did this for more than an hour before she lay down and fell asleep again.
Early the next morning, when Hua Zhi came in with water and wanted to wake up the empress to wash up, she suddenly found that Queen Wei had already changed her clothes and was sitting in front of the vanity mirror. She hurried over: "Your Majesty redeemed my sins, the slaves got up late."
"I got up early." Queen Wei said lightly, and Hua Zhi realized that she was thrushing her eyebrows. In the past, the empress liked the gentle and peaceful willow-leaf eyebrows, but today's eyebrows are different, black and thick, with the tails of the eyebrows slightly raised, flying into the temples, looking extraordinarily cold and noble, even with arrogance.
Yes, arrogance.
This is the first time Hua Zhi saw such a thing from Queen Wei.
Although she was born in the Wei family, Empress Wei has always been modest, courteous, gentle and considerate, she is a person who has no airs. But in front of Empress Wei, Huazhi almost couldn't recognize her. Her eyes are as bright as jewels, but they are as cold as moonlight. Her face is as beautiful as flowers, but that beauty is extremely sharp and full of aggression.
There are countless beautiful beauties in this harem, and they are blooming everywhere, but only Empress Wei is the only peony that overwhelms the country.
