The two generations of the Zhang family have more sons than daughters. In Zhang's father's generation, Mrs. Zhang gave birth to six sons before she began to give birth to daughters, but she gave birth to three more in one breath, but the first two died, and in the end only three girls were left behind.
General Zhang didn't think it was a big problem at the time, as long as he had enough sons, it would be fine. Moreover, at that time Chengzu was still alive, and the Zhang family did not dare to engage in any marriage, and it was enough to bow down and marry a daughter-in-law.
In Zhang's generation, the situation of more men than women still hasn't changed much.
Zhang Fang's first few children were all sons, and there were only two direct daughters. Except for my eldest daughter, Mrs. Zhang, the second daughter of Zhang was married to He Bingze.
The second uncle of Zhang's is not too much, but there is a direct daughter, but this year's virtual age is only thirteen years old, not yet the age for marriage.
The rest of the third and fourth uncles, not to mention, some have not yet given birth to daughters.
Yang Yan saw my surprise, sneered, and said, "It should be Jingyang Zhang Ling's daughter. Brother Ninth and I have picked up your daughter, that is, his eldest daughter is eligible. But that girl is only ten years old this year. Third, when I went to Jingyang the year before last, I ran into one on the street. A little girl rode a tall horse, and the horse ran like crazy. Just such a wild girl, she was beautiful and handsome, hey! The family really dares to open their eyes and talk nonsense! Did they use you as a girl?"
I didn't bother to pay attention to the sarcasm in Yang Yan's words. There was only one thought in my mind. As expected, once it was determined that my queen was going to be useless, the Zhang family would plan to abandon my daughter.
They listened to my advice and planned to formally form an alliance with the toilet king, but they didn't believe that I, Qi Sheng's queen, could play any role, so they sent another daughter over.
Even though this daughter is only thirteen years old, she is still a half-year-old child.
I didn't speak, but Yang Yan also stopped laughing, with pity in his eyes, and asked softly, "What are your plans?"
I laughed and asked him: "You should ask your ninth brother about this, and ask him what his plans are."
Yang Yan looked at me silently for a moment, and said, "Ninth Brother said, if you hold hands, you will always wait."
I was slightly startled when I heard the words, looked up at Yang Yan, and sighed: "Sour, it's so fucking sour! Where did you hear such a nasty word?"
Yang Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Hey? Don't all of you women like to hear this? It's all written like this in the script."
I glanced at Yang Yan with contempt: "The play also says that poor scholars can marry the daughter of the prime minister! Do you believe it?"
Yang Yan was a little embarrassed himself, scratched his head, and said, "Ninth brother said to ask what you mean."
Is that even a question? I couldn't help sneering, if he didn't mean it, he would have already rejected it outright, why would he need to ask me!
I thought about it and smiled, "I mean boring."
Yang Yan was taken aback and asked, "What does this mean?"
I curled my lips tauntingly and replied, "It's just boring, as long as you pass this on, he will understand."
Yang Yan didn't speak, and crawled off the bed with a calm face.
I got out of bed after his ass, and asked him in a low voice, "You came in through the eaves? Is that kung fu easy to learn?"
Yang Yan glanced at me angrily, and replied, "I love to learn, you can go to rebirth, and you will be able to learn from scratch for more than ten years."
I thought that the reincarnation was not easy to handle, and I had to go to Si Ming Xingjun to discuss it.
After sending Yang Yan out of the inner hall, I saw the freehand brushwork lying on the ground in a drowsy state outside, and then I remembered another important matter, and I quickly instructed Yang Yan: "By the way, ask the King of Chu to help check the freehand brushwork. Girl, according to her, she has a younger brother in Qi Sheng's hands to see if it is true."
Yang Yan asked me, "Which one is freehand?"
I pointed at his feet, "Hey, that's the one at your feet."
Yang Yan looked down and replied, "Okay, I got it. I gave her the drug, she will wake up after a while, and she will only think she has taken a nap."
I nodded, seeing that his hand had already reached the door of the palace, I was suddenly very reluctant, and without thinking, I said, "Come back tomorrow!"
Yang Yan's body froze for a moment, then turned to look at me strangely.
I also covered my mouth subconsciously, Nima, how could such a sentence suddenly pop up
Yang Yan laughed and asked in a low voice, "Do you really take me as an adulterer?"
When he joked like this, my embarrassment disappeared, and I simply grinned and said, "Oh, this is obviously a polite word used by the brothel girl to see off guests."
Yang Yan was not as thick-skinned as I was, and he couldn't stop laughing. He coughed twice to cover up, and turned around and walked out of the palace gate.
I probed the probe through the crack of the door, and saw that he jumped up lightly, his hands already clinging to the eaves of the porch and turning over the roof. I was relieved and crawled back to bed to continue to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep.
Qi Sheng didn't kill me because I was the daughter of the Zhang family.
Zhang Jiagao looked at me because I was Qi Sheng's queen.
King Zhao, Matou Jun and others are willing to pay attention to me because I am the queen of Qi Sheng and the daughter of the Zhang family.
Apart from the two identities of Zhang's daughter and Queen Qi Sheng, as far as I am concerned, it's not really shit.
I know all of this very well, but I'm still in such a miserable situation. I'm such an idiot.
I have been busy for more than two years, unable to please the boss at the top, unable to win the loyalty of the employees, no confidantes, maids and servants, no competent officials and generals, seeing that even her own family is planning to find another way out...
If it wasn't for the fact that Qi Sheng let Mrs. Zhang into the palace aroused my suspicions, I'm afraid that I would have been led by the nose all the time.
Just thinking about it, he fell asleep in a daze.
I fell into the water somehow in the dream. The water was cold and refreshing. I was shivering from the cold, and I was glad that I could drown anyway. So I paddled desperately, and when I saw that I was about to go ashore, there was suddenly another Qi Sheng on the shore, and I was kicked back into the water with a light kick.
I continued to climb relentlessly, and he stood there and kicked me into the water again and again.
The last time I finally got anxious, I jumped up and scolded loudly: "Qi Sheng, your uncle's!"
This scolding does not matter, the person struggled out of the dream at once.
When I opened my eyes, Qi Sheng was standing at the head of the bed with a dark face, staring at me with pursed lips.
This shock is no trivial matter, it immediately shakes my remaining two points of drowsiness! I immediately sat up from the bed, stepped back, and looked at him warily.
Since the last incident, although he often came to my palace, he only went to the apse to see the little baby.
I didn't want to see him either, so when he was about to come, I quickly asked the nurse to send the baby back to the apse, while I hid in the bedroom.
As a result, the two of us have not seen each other for more than half a month.
He stood there with his hands crossed, not speaking, just looking at me silently.
When I was nervous, I didn't forget to glance outside, seeing that it was still dark, I was a little confused about what time it was at the moment, it was the second half of the night when Yang Yan left, why did I sleep for such a long time, it was still outside not bright
I subconsciously closed the front of the nightgown tightly, and saw Qi Sheng's brows wrinkle visibly.
I also felt that my response was too aura, so I quickly let go of my hand again, pretending to be calm and said to Qi Sheng: "Your Majesty, what you need to do this kind of thing is your love and my will, so that you can have fun. I really want, I will cooperate with you and promise to make you happy, but if you want to humiliate me with this, I can only say that you are wrong, it is not that you have never slept, my child has been born, and I have long felt that this matter has nothing to do with it. Embarrassing."
Qi Sheng just listened quietly, neither provoked nor runaway by me.
I had a nervous look on my face, but my mind was spinning fast. He suddenly appeared in front of my bed, which was a good opportunity, and saved me from trying to find an opportunity to "open my heart" to him.
But for some reason, my head was still dizzy, and my body was weak, so I simply lay down again, thinking about what to say today so that it wouldn't arouse new suspicions from him.
I closed my eyes, brewed my emotions, and suppressed the enthusiasm in my eyes. Then I said in a hoarse voice, "Qi Sheng, let's all be frank and tell the truth, how about it?"
It took a long time to hear Qi Sheng say "good" lightly.
I tugged at the corners of my mouth and laughed at myself, and said, "I admire you very much, Qi Sheng, I have never seen a person as thoughtful and patient as you."
Qi Sheng neither admitted nor denied, just stood quietly.
"You actually knew for a long time that I was secretly promoting the alliance between the Zhang family and the King of Chu, and that I had been seeking the position of the Empress Dowager. Come down, I can't make trouble. That's why you have been reluctant to sleep in the harem, and even in order to avoid someone trying to fish in troubled waters and mixing pregnant women into the palace, you even temporarily abstained from female sex."
This is the real reason why he stopped being close to women after he ascended the throne. Go to his uncle's cleanliness, love and sex, and show love!
I opened my eyes and calmly looked at the top of the tent decorated with various sachets, with flowers blooming and rich, dragons and phoenixes showing auspiciousness.
"You are the new emperor, although your name is justifiable, but your foundation is still shallow. Furthermore, the Queen Mother Song has presided over the harem for many years, and the power of many years cannot be eliminated at one time, so all you can do is to endure, to plan secretly through patience, and to be among the courtiers. Cultivate your new strengths and wait quietly for the moment."
Speaking of this, I paused for a moment, then continued: "You endured for two years, and then God gave you a chance to rebel against Yunxi. Although you appear to be indecisive, you have already made up your mind about Yang. Yu went to quell the rebellion, because as long as Yang Yu leads his troops away, the King of Chu will lose his support, and it can be left to you to knead, right?"
Qi Sheng didn't answer, in fact, I didn't need his answer either.
I smiled and said, "But such a good opportunity, it would be a pity if only the King of Chu was eliminated. So, you thought, it would be great if you could take advantage of this opportunity and involve the Zhang family as well. But I am too careful, and I act timidly. I didn't see you having a son to succeed one day, and I didn't dare to let go of my courage to promote the cooperation between the Zhang family and the King of Chu. Decided to push me."
This is the reason for the closure of the palace. Even the Empress Dowager Song could not enter my Xingsheng Palace, but Qi Sheng allowed the Zhang family to come in and visit me.
He just thought that I would be in a mess because of the disclosure of my identity, that he would be afraid that he would not be able to tolerate me, that he would lose his temper, and that he would give the Zhang family a wrong signal.
I laughed silently, and thanks to Mrs. Zhang's entry into the palace, I became suspicious of Qi Sheng's intentions.
Then I gambled like a gamble. I knew he was digging a trap for me. I didn't know why he dug the pit or how deep it was, but I still dared to jump down.
So I not only followed his wishes and told the Zhang family about my precarious situation, but I also helped him blow the wind.
He was very satisfied. Although he continued to seal the Xingsheng Palace, he did not embarrass me anymore.
After Yang Yu quelled the rebellion and Yang Yan entered the palace, I finally understood. The previous relationship and the follow-up contact like this, one point, everything is connected.
Qi Sheng calculated every step of the way to me, and I broke the boat and went to this day step by step as he wished, pressing all the Zhang family and the toilet in front of him, just to convince him that I have come to the end at this moment, To give myself a chance to turn around.
Because I know very well from the beginning to the end, since I set foot on the road of "Prince Concubine", I have no turning back. The only post that can end well is the "Queen Mother", not some kind of Luo Shizi's princess or princess. .
I don't have the life to be the princess or the princess. Once the Zhang family rebels, the first person to be killed will be me, the Queen of the Zhang family.
The most crucial battle has already started, and I can only win this battle, not lose it.
I turned to look at him, organizing my own words in my heart, trying to suppress the disdain in my heart, but the corners of my mouth curled up involuntarily, "You actually noticed my difference a long time ago, right? I couldn't bear it until I needed it at this moment, and then you suddenly had a sudden attack, and then my mind finally became confused, and finally pushed the Zhang family to the king of Chu, so the impossible marriage is about to happen."
Qi Sheng was silent for a long time, and finally said, "You are very smart."
I laughed at myself, "It's just smart after the fact, what else do you plan to do? Only involve one Zhang Ling, or do you want to take the opportunity to cut off the entire Zhang family?"
Qi Sheng answered me softly: "Northern Xinjiang cannot be chaotic."
I nodded slowly. In that case, I only took the opportunity to get rid of Zhang Ling, and removed half of the Zhang family's arms. From now on, the Zhang family will no longer be able to make waves.
I asked again, "He Bingze has always been loyal to you, hasn't he?"
Qi Sheng replied, "Yes."
I smiled softly, "It's only a little girl like Zhang Er girl who believes that a man will abandon his family parents for love."
Qi Sheng did not speak.
After a long silence, I decided to go to the most important part of this conversation, that I had to tell him that my soul was meant to be a woman, not a man.
This is about Qi Sheng's likes and dislikes towards me in the future. I can't ask him to have a psychological barrier when he faces me in the future.
I took a deep breath and suddenly whispered: "Qi Sheng, you asked me whether I was a boy or a girl that night. In fact, I often ask this question myself. When I changed back to a female body, the person said that I should have been a woman originally, and it was their mistake that brought about this twist and turns, and in the future, I can only live with this fleshly body."
I stopped, turned my head to look at him quietly, "Actually, I thought about death a long time ago, but I didn't have the guts."
Qi Sheng asked me, "Do you have the guts now?"
I smiled and shook my head, "No, I still don't. Besides, I've already accepted myself as a woman, and I've suffered such a big crime of having children. It would be a great loss if I die."
The corner of Qi Sheng's mouth tickled invisibly.
I moved in my heart, looked at him and asked, "It's your turn, can I ask you a question?"
Qi Sheng nodded.
I asked, "Am I making you feel disgusting now? So disgusting that I can't even stand my existence?"
Qi Sheng was silent for a moment, then whispered, "No."
I calmly said: "In this case, Qi Sheng, I'll continue to be your queen. No one in this world is more suitable for this position than me. I won't fight for power for my parents' family, I won't compete with the palace concubine, and I will manage the harem for you. , to raise children. Is there a more suitable person than me? Not to mention that I have no foundation in this world and can be completely controlled by you. "
Qi Sheng's face was calm, and he couldn't see his anger and anger. After a while, he asked me, "What are you asking for?"
I thought about it seriously and replied, "Safe and healthy, no worries about food and clothing."
The hall was very quiet, so quiet that you could hear Qi Sheng's long breathing. After an unknown amount of time, he nodded slowly and answered me, "Okay."
There is not much more to say about this word.
I thought to myself that these eight words are really useful, no matter whether the person who speaks it is sincere or not, the person who listens to it takes it seriously.
I got up from the bed and solemnly sorted out the nightgown on my body, as if it was the complicated and solemn Queen Zhai robe. After smoothing out the tiny folds, I gave Qi Sheng a submissive crawl and put my forehead against the back of my hand. He said sincerely: "My concubine, thank the Lord Longen."
Qi Sheng didn't respond for a long time, and when he looked up again, the hall was already empty.
I was relieved, and I fell down on the bed all of a sudden, only to feel a splitting headache.
In fact, without my begging, Qi Sheng will continue to call me the queen, because he has to use me, the Zhang family, to appease the remaining half of the Zhang family and tell the courtiers that Zhang Ling was only implicated by the King of Chu when he suffered disaster.
If he guessed correctly, Qi Sheng wouldn't even want Zhang Ling's life. He would only give up Zhang Ling's military power, and then put Zhang Ling under house arrest to express his concession to the Zhang family and my empress. Respect and love.
All he wants is my attitude.
That being the case, I will show him my humility. Isn't it just about retreating? Han Xin is still able to suffer the humiliation of his crotch, what am I
While rubbing the temples on both sides with my hands, I muttered to myself: Let's play, let's see who will kill who will play in the end! Isn't it more than a turtle now? You can bear it, I can bear it more than you! And waste it!
Freehand came in with a jade bowl, and said softly, "The maiden is finally awake, let's get up and drink the medicine first."
She stepped forward to help me sit up, but I was surprised by the dark medicinal soup in the bowl, "What's the matter? What kind of medicine should I drink?"
The rims of his eyes were red, and he bowed his head and said, "The other night, the niangniang had a high fever, and she has been in a coma for almost two days."
I was stunned, and suddenly realized.
I said how did I feel that I had slept for such a long time, I didn't expect it to be sick.
This is really the first serious illness I have suffered since I came to this world. After lying on the bed for several days, I recovered. When I brought the little doll over to play, she almost didn't recognize me. As soon as she got into my arms Just cry.
I suddenly realized that I can't raise a child like this. No matter what, she was born through my hard work. It's not enough to leave it to someone else to raise her like this. Don't end up raising someone who is not close to me.
With this kind of consideration, I put a lot more thought on the little doll. I spent most of the day with her, and only at night did I ask the nurse to take her back to the nurturing pavilion to sleep.
During this period, Qi Sheng came back a few times, and each time he still looked at the little doll and left. He also met me a few times, and his expression was quite natural.
Once I went to coax the little doll to open her mouth with Jiyi to see if she had teeth. Unexpectedly, after coaxing the two of us for a long time, the little baby still kept his mouth tightly closed and was not tempted at all.
When I was about to move, Qi Sheng stood beside me at some point, and when he saw this, he stretched out two fingers and pinched the little doll's jaw, and when he gently broke it, the little doll opened his mouth wide.
He said lightly, "Look."
Nima, how much do you have to do to be so skilled!
I was taken aback by his skillful technique, and when I came back to my senses, I hurriedly shouted: "Let go, let go!"
The little doll in her arms burst into tears.
Qi Sheng let go of his hand abruptly, a look of embarrassment on his calm face.
I was speechless, so I could only lower my head and softly coax the little baby not to cry. I managed to coax her to stop crying, but she opened her arms towards Qi Sheng with a grievance...
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Qi Sheng's lips, and he reached out to hug her from my arms, and glanced at me, the pride in it was self-evident.
I secretly scolded this little girl in my heart, but I smiled disapprovingly on the face.
With this little doll in the middle to ease the atmosphere, the relationship between Qi Sheng and I, which was about to break, quickly eased. By the end of February, Qi Sheng finally lifted the control of Xingsheng Palace.
