Seventy-second bowl of soup (ten)
Empress Dowager Wei knew the little emperor very well, she raised this boy single-handedly, he grew bigger and bigger, he was carved out of the same mold as the late emperor, but his personality was very different. His throne is secure, so he doesn't need a queen of noble birth, as long as he is elegant and dignified enough to manage the harem, but it is obvious that the queen in front of him is not that material. Empress Dowager Wei is old, and although she still looks young and beautiful, she is in no mood to train a new queen.
Although the little emperor is moody, he is a man of his own accord, not to mention his difficult side can only be shown when facing the ministers. Empress Dowager Wei didn't think that her son was the kind of person who would fall in love with such a queen: "The emperor gave you a promise not to go to other concubines anymore?"
The queen choked, and said in a low voice: "...no, no."
"That's it. As the emperor, whoever he wants to favor, the mother of the Ai family doesn't care. As the mother of a country, the emperor has been resting in your Fengyi Palace for several months, and he has never seen you wanting to marry him." The emperor is covered with rain and dew."
The queen felt aggrieved when she heard this, "The concubine thought that the queen mother was the only one who could understand the concubine. No one knew the love story between the first emperor and the concubine mother. Why did the concubine come to this concubine, so I asked the concubine to share with others Your Majesty! "
She found it ironic, when the Empress Dowager Wei was the empress, she was the only favorite in the pepper room, why did she say that her son was covered in rain and dew? !
But she said this just on impulse, and then regretted it, the whole hall instantly became icy cold, her body seemed to be in an ice cellar, the Queen tremblingly went to look at the Empress Dowager Wei, who was looking at her with a pair of cold and bright eyes. She was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her mind was muddled, and she just stammered: "Chen Qie, Chen Qie—"
"If this is the case, the Ai family doesn't want to hear it a second time." The Queen Mother Wei said slowly, "If the Ai family hears the word Xiandi from your mouth again, you don't have to be a queen. You can go back wherever you came from. Bar."
The queen showed an expression of disbelief. She thought that saying this would make the queen mother stand on her side, but the result seemed to be counterproductive? why is that? Shouldn't the Empress Dowager remember every detail of her love with the first emperor in the past, and then support herself and Your Majesty
But she didn't dare to say any more, the Queen Mother Wei's icy eyes made her realize more clearly than now that the one in front of her was the all-powerful iron-blooded Queen Mother.
After the queen left, Hua Zhi frowned and said: "Your Majesty's vision is not very good this time." She is jealous, narrow-minded, scheming and shallow, so stupid as to be naive.
No one knew her son better than his own mother. The Empress Dowager Wei tapped the rim of the cup with a glove: "That kid must have chosen such a queen in some naive way."
When the little emperor came to ask, really, even the Empress Dowager Wei didn't expect the brat to be so nonsense that he didn't take the choice of concubine seriously. She told the little emperor, and the little emperor said impatiently: "The queen is really Now, after how many times I told her not to come to bother my mother, she still came."
It seems that he didn't take the Queen seriously.
This is the emperor.
Empress Dowager Wei said: "If she continues to think like this, it will be very troublesome. Aijia sees that she has no ability to take care of the harem."
"It's because of you." The little emperor grinned and rubbed over, "I have to trouble my mother to go out of the mountain again."
Empress Dowager Wei ruthlessly broke his extravagant hope: "Ai's family is getting old, so I don't have the mood to support you anymore."
Alas, hurt.
Only then did the little emperor start to worry. If he had known that he had chosen such a queen, he would never have known how to shoot darts. "Queen Mother, how did you make Emperor Father only like you?" After asking, he saw Aunt Huazhi who was usually calm and steady shaking her head and waving her hands at him. The little Emperor became even more curious. , but the strange thing is that the Empress Dowager Wei never mentioned the first emperor to him. "What kind of person is the father?" He always heard some old officials say how the late emperor was so young, capable and wise, but it's a pity that he never saw it.
The little emperor's question is different from the queen's question. Empress Dowager Wei's eyes flickered slightly. She looked at her son's face in front of her and touched it involuntarily.
Exactly the same, exactly the same.
But the eyes were different, they were nothing alike except in appearance. Empress Dowager Wei didn't know whether she should be thankful or regretful, she had nothing to remember the late emperor for so many years, only this son, every time she saw his face, she seemed to see the late emperor.
The little emperor and the empress dowager had never been so intimate with him before. He was stunned for a while, but he didn't refuse. The empress mother's hands were cold, but very gentle. He vaguely felt that she was not looking at him, but looking at another person through him.
The other person... who could it be? It should be the father, the old officials said that he looks exactly like the father. "Mother." The little emperor held the hand of the Queen Mother Wei. This woman has always been strong and invincible. She has protected and taught him since he was very young, but this is the first time that the little emperor has seen the Queen Mother Wei. Sadness in the eyes. "Don't be sad, my son won't ask."
But the Empress Dowager Wei didn't take her hand away, so the little emperor didn't dare to move, and let her stare at him. After a long time, the little emperor felt that he was about to go stiff, and then he heard Queen Mother Wei's soft and almost inaudible voice: "He is different from you."
The little emperor said, "Is father better than me?"
Empress Dowager Wei's eyes lit up with a smile. She planned to kill her beloved with her own hands. The price was that she would spend the rest of her life in love with him, but she sealed her heart and stopped thinking about it. It was a scar, and it couldn't be mentioned, otherwise it would be a painful pain. "You don't understand, and I hope you never understand."
It’s best to be heartless like this. To be a good emperor, you don’t love anyone, and you don’t want to be loved by anyone. This kind of pain, people who haven’t tasted it will not understand. She walked out of the predetermined fate in her dream, won the world, and saved the Wei family, but she was still trapped in the vortex of love and could not escape. The first emperor died, but when he died, he had already taken her away with him.
The gentle, innocent, happy Wei Qinghuan, who was willing to dedicate herself to the one she loved, had already been buried in the tomb with the late emperor, and she was not the same person as the current Queen Mother Wei.
The little emperor nodded in a daze. He was extremely smart, and he could tell at a glance that the relationship between mother, queen, father, and emperor was probably not as beautiful and simple as the folk rumors said. But it doesn't matter, his mother won, that's enough, some secrets should sleep in the past, and shouldn't be exposed.
Empress Dowager Wei has been ill since this day, it is a heart disease, her son has grown up, her family is deeply rooted, and everything that supports her no longer needs her to maintain, so she has unloaded the burden of many years. As her condition gradually improved, Huazhi even felt that the gentle Queen Mother Wei had returned. Although she is still cold, her eyes are very warm.
So warm it makes me want to cry.
The empress longed for the little emperor's sole favor, but unfortunately the little emperor was born with no love, and her sincerity was in vain. So she began to grieve all day long and neglect to take care of the harem. Whenever the little emperor came to the harem but did not come to her, she mourned and cried in Fengyi Palace until dawn.
Until the little emperor felt that this was not going to work, he couldn't really ask his mother to take care of the harem later, could he? There is a queen and the queen mother needs to take care of it. What does it look like
So he decided to abolish the empress without even thinking about it. This kid is used to doing things in his own way, and no one is allowed to comment on any decisions he makes. Coupled with his good reasons, no one really dares to say anything. When Queen Mother Wei recovered from her illness, she discovered that the queen had changed!
she:"… "
The little emperor also plausibly said: "Mother, don't worry, the son is not chosen by shooting darts this time!"
The Empress Dowager Wei gave him a suspicious look, and he was a little guilty, "Hey, this time, my son promises that the empress will never be the same as the previous one!" Thinking of the tearful appearance of the deposed empress when she was sent out of the palace, the little emperor burst into tears. Egg hurts. This time, he let the old treacherous and cunning—no, the old and experienced uncle who had married ten regular wives helped to choose the queen.
"...You just want to be happy." Aijia didn't want to say anything.
The little emperor chuckled.
He is really a very good emperor, but he is also absolutely ruthless. How filial and obedient he is to the Empress Dowager Wei, how far away he is from the concubines in the harem. He is gentle and considerate, and can be amusing, but his heart never rests on anyone. Except for the common people in the country, society, country, and people, nothing can hold more weight in the little emperor's heart.
He is the emperor, and he knows this better than anyone else. Sitting in this seat, he will bring happiness to the people of the world. He has many beautiful concubines, each of them is very touching and beautiful, but he doesn't love any of them.
He has no love.
The emperor can go far without love.
The little emperor was always curious about the answer to one thing all his life, but he didn't ask until the moment when the Empress Dowager Wei was dying: "Mother, what do you want most in this life?"
When Queen Mother Wei heard his words, she didn't speak, but closed her eyes slightly.
Love or not, it doesn't matter, that person can only belong to her, there are no other concubines buried in the imperial tomb, it's not that she is really magnanimous and kind, she just doesn't want to share that person with others after death.
Since then, you and I have been entangled in flesh and blood, and everything in the past has been forgotten. I killed you and let myself fall into it, unable to extricate myself.
I wish to die in the same acupuncture point.
Two wishes that the souls will be entangled and have a consonance.
Three wishes in the next life, never to see each other again.
