The King of Jin was appointed crown prince, and everyone in the palace and harem breathed a sigh of relief.
That year, the empress dowager, her loving mother, died of illness. When she died, she called Xie Fenghuang to her side and said, "I feel relieved to see that the King of Jin mourns the family for the crown prince. You don't have to cause trouble in the future, right?"
Xie Fenghuang was in a complicated mood and promised: "Don't worry, I will serve His Majesty well."
"One more thing, after the Ai family leaves, don't ask the Qu family to come to the Imperial Capital." The loving mother, the Queen Mother, nodded and ordered, "Even if the Ai family is gone, I don't want to see that cheap maid be proud!"
She didn't need to tell Xie Fenghuang that she would not welcome Queen Mother Qu back. After all, what daughter-in-law likes her mother-in-law to stay nearby and take care of her
Even if Queen Mother Qu had a good relationship with Xie Fenghuang in the past, it was only in the past.
Who knows now
Especially since the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Empress Dowager are no longer here, the Empress Dowager Qu is now the most distinguished elder in the royal family.
Xie Fenghuang finally sent away two generations of mothers-in-law, but he didn't want to deal with another Queen Mother Qu.
The death of the loving mother the Queen Mother dealt a huge blow to Chunjia.
He has always been physically strong due to his years of practicing martial arts. Even though he was seriously injured for a few days after blocking Xie Fenghuang's arrow, he recovered quickly after he was recuperated.
This time, he became seriously ill.
When I woke up that day, I heard that Concubine An had committed suicide by hanging from a beam.
Xie Fenghuang actually didn't want him to hear more bad news at this time, but Concubine An was not someone else after all. After much thought, she still kept it secret.
It's just that Chunjia was really indifferent to Yuan Niang. She just said "I know" and ordered her to be buried beside the tomb of Empress Dowager Yuan.
As the Queen Mother of the Fuyang King lineage, Queen Mother Yuan was to be buried in Fuyang County, not in the imperial mausoleum like Chunjia.
The meaning of this is to let Yuan Yuniang follow her natal aunt instead of the imperial mausoleum.
Although Xie Fenghuang didn't care about the past between the emperor and Yuan Yuniang for a long time, he didn't show it on his face when he heard this, but he was still very happy in his heart.
Maybe it was because they were older, but in the winter of this year, she also received the bad news that Mr. Jiang had passed away.
In fact, Jiang wanted to leave two years ago, but she tried every means to persuade him to go through with it.
However, he had a heavy heart and endured the winter of this year. Perhaps after seeing his biological grandson as his heir, he felt relieved and left on a snowy night.
Xie Fenghuang was stunned for a long time after hearing the news, and then burst into tears.
She didn't know whether she was right or wrong by forcing her mother to stay in her home for the past few years. After all, although Jiang seemed to have everything going for him in the past few years, in fact, he had never been happy.
There was even a period of time when Jiang was in a daze to the point of shouting the names of Xie Xiaoyu and others to King Jin.
Xie Meng went to visit, and was held by the hands and scolded that she shouldn't marry into the Wang family... She was regarded as her sixth aunt Xie Fenghuan.
This situation made all the juniors worried. Xie Li lived with the Jiang family. He greeted her almost three or four times a day and carefully made the grandmother happy, but the effect was never very good.
Seeing all the fun in this world, Jiang was not as happy as when he occasionally went to the palace to see the queen.
Only then did Xie Fenghuang realize that her mother was indeed different from her. Jiang really loved her children.
Otherwise, she would not have been taught to put herself first in everything.
Instead, she instills virtue and filial piety like an ordinary mother would.
When Jiang passed away, Chunjia's condition had just improved, but who knew that the queen fell ill again.
The palace seemed very dark and gloomy this year because the emperor and empress were ill one after another.
On the Lantern Festival in the 27th year of Chunjia, the emperor and the empress talked about some past events. Xie Fenghuang mentioned that when she was a child, her father and brother would make lanterns for her with their own hands on this day. The emperor got interested and asked someone to pass on the tools and materials to the craftsman on the spot. , under the guidance of the craftsman, she also made a rather exquisite revolving lantern for her.
Seeing the queen holding it in surprise, Chunjia couldn't hold it back for a moment, stroking her hair and promising: "I will make it for you with my own hands every year from now on."
Such promises were fulfilled every year, and in a blink of an eye, it was the thirty-ninth year of Chunjia.
The emperor was unable to make lanterns for the queen this year. He fell ill at the end of the 38th year of Chunjia Period. During his illness, he felt bad, but he still wanted to spend another Lantern Festival with the queen, so he fell into a coma. With heavy support, finally, on the night before the Lantern Festival, thousands of lanterns were displayed all over the imperial capital, and just when the time was shining brightly on thousands of households, the palace bells rang.
The colorful lanterns were hastily taken down.
The originally magnificent lantern festival the next day was replaced by a city full of plains.
Chunjia Emperor Gong Xiangji, who practiced Zuo in the 15th year and took charge of the government in person at the 23rd year, passed away in Taichu Palace at the age of fifty-five. After discussion with the prince, the ministers went to the temple and named him Xuanzong to honor his contribution to revitalizing the Gongxiang family.
Xuanzong's reputation in both the government and the public was excellent. His death made the world sad.
Compared with Xuanzong's biological father and heir, he actually lived a long life.
However, for Xie Fenghuang, she was always uncertain when he was alive. Even if the fifteenth prince became the heir, she was always on guard against this son following in the footsteps of the previous two princes.
But after he left, the huge collapse in her heart made the queen feel like a zombie for half a month.
She also cried, laughed, talked, and ate, as if she had gotten through this situation very calmly, but it was as if all her energy and energy had been sucked away, which was so numb that it was shocking.
The Jiang family has gone, and the royal elders have also withered away. The only one who can persuade is the close attendant who has been with him for many years. The already old Qingren knelt down in front of the new empress dowager and cried loudly, begging her to consider the new emperor and cheer up. .
"It can be seen that sometimes people cannot make promises at will." Xie Fenghuang was in a hurry and couldn't express it. It was only later that the new monarch took the time to come over and kneel down to ask her to take care of herself. The Aijia promised that if he went there before the Aijia, the Aijia would be buried with him. He stopped him at that time, and the Aijia didn't take it seriously. But now that he really went, the Aijia also felt that this There’s nothing interesting in the world anymore.”
Maybe it had something to do with the spirit of the empress dowager in heaven. After the king became the crown prince, the relationship between her and the emperor really stopped.
In the following ten years, the Sixth Palace was in vain. Because the emperor had so many heirs, the ministers had no reason to interfere with the emperor's fortune, not to mention that the most favored one was already a serious queen.
They could only rejoice that the emperor and empress were in harmony.
The emperor and empress lived like a common married couple, and lived a stable and peaceful life for more than ten years just like the empress dowager expected.
Don't you feel anything when you live like this? One person leaves first, but the remaining people don't know what to do
The new king and the new queen, as well as the grown-up King Zhen, Kang An, Zhaoqing and other favored emperors all came to persuade her again and again. Seeing that the queen mother could not keep up her spirits, the new king had not been able to do anything since he was a child. It was too dramatic that today, he let his eldest son act coquettish and cute, so he dragged Xie Fenghuang to the long-deserted Huzhu Palace.
This palace was already remote, and it had become increasingly deserted since Concubine An committed suicide.
Xie Fenghuang was in no mood to revisit his old place, but the new king's eldest son was quite clever and cute, and he was also her eldest grandson, so his status was different after all.
She knew that the new king must have prepared some novel things in this palace to amuse her, but she was not in the mood for anything now.
However, even though she was prepared, she was still stunned by the people she saw in the Ningbi Palace after walking in.
The man was in his twenties, with a light robe and a gentle look, just like Chun Jia before he took office.
At this moment, Xie Fenghuang understood how the Empress Dowager felt when her dowry secretly returned to the palace from Fuyang County thirty-nine years ago, and she knelt in front of the steps and cried and reported that "the current king of Fuyang is the late emperor." .
Her eyes suddenly felt sour and astringent, and she even subconsciously straightened the corners of her hair and clothes that she had not noticed for a long time.
But the next moment, when she realized that this person was just a substitute that Xin Jun tried every means to find, but not Chun Jia himself, her heart immediately became cold.
"Let your father send him away." The new Queen Mother calmed down and ignored the man who was trying to imitate Chunjia's behavior and came over to say hello. She only touched the top of her grandson's hair and said softly, "Don't do it in the future. You did such a ridiculous thing.”
No matter how much you look like, you are not the real person after all, so what’s the point of keeping it in front of you
Moreover, not long after Xie Fenghuang entered the palace, Chunjia took over the throne. In fact, the late emperor she was familiar with was not before he took office, but the years after he took office, when his majesty became increasingly grand.
It's just that the emperor's majesty can't be fully imitated by even the new king, let alone a mere official
This move was ineffective, but it could not shake the new king's filial piety.
Soon he gave Xie Fenghuang a second "surprise": he secretly summoned Qi Jiulu to Beijing, disguised himself and sent him to Qingci Palace to pay his respects.
This is also the reunion of old friends after decades.
Compared to the last time when the young man with a very similar face made Xie Fenghuang feel melancholy and lost, this time he was speechless with Qi Jiulu, who was getting gray at the temples. Xie Fenghuang just wanted to roll up his sleeves and blow up the new king. Dog head.
She has nothing to say to Qi Jiulu now. In fact, Qi Jiulu has the same thing with her.
The two of them were silent for a long time. In the end, they just talked about the situation after they said goodbye, just like ordinary teenagers who met each other and were separated for many years. What they talked about the most was their children's affairs.
When they realized that they could only talk endlessly about their children and grandchildren, they all had the same sadness in their eyes: They are really old.
That’s why I gradually stopped caring about myself and focused on my descendants.
Everyone feels that they are old, so why should they care about the past
Xie Fenghuang finally fell in love with Qi Jiulu's granddaughter and decided to hire him as his wife.
Qi Jiulu did not agree immediately. He carefully asked about the character of Prince Qin and his wife, and also asked about Prince Qin's preferences, age and appearance, before solemnly agreeing.
Before resigning, he did not mention the fact that the Queen Mother did not leave with him, but he thanked the Queen Mother repeatedly for letting Qi Jiuzhang and the Qi family go.
Such an attitude of thanks actually completely opened the distance between the two of them...
Those crazy youthful pasts will eventually disappear without a trace in the years.
At the moment they are just pure monarchs and ministers.
Maybe I still remember some of the friendship from the past, but it's only to the extent of old friends.
It has nothing to do with romance.
After Qi Jiulu left, Xie Fenghuang no longer cared about his dejection. He ordered someone to prepare a ruler in advance and summoned the new king. It’s not bad, but why are you so impatient to send people to the Ai family one by one before his body is cold?”
If there was a spirit under Chunjia Jiuquan, wouldn't he be so angry that he would come to life
She couldn't help but become suspicious, and grabbed Xin Jun's ear and asked, "If the Ai family takes the first step, will you still donate beauties to your father just to maintain your favor?!"
"Mother, please forgive me, how could I do this?" The new monarch begged for mercy, plausibly, "Although my father is kind to my son, I am not the only child he loves. In the final analysis, I have earned the position of prince by myself. It was not given to his son by the father against all opinions. In this case, the gratitude of the son to the father is the gratitude of an ordinary heir. Besides, the father has gone, and the deceased has passed away, so naturally I cherish my mother and queen who are here even more! What’s more, my father loved my mother and queen the most during his lifetime, but she was just a show-off and a plaything. Do I still have to care about my mother and queen?”
Xie Fenghuang stared at him for a long time, finally sighed, let go of his ears, touched the top of his hair, and said: "You are indeed the biological son of the Ai family! The Ai family also thought so when they were favored... Who is your father? What evil have you done to meet our mother and son?"
The new king didn't like to hear this: "My mother is both beautiful and virtuous, my sons are intelligent, capable, smart and kind. My father has blessed me and my daughter. We have accumulated blessings in our previous lives."
"...Get out of here!" The new Queen Mother felt annoyed after hearing this, and waved her hand to drive the person away. After all, Xie Fenghuang had no real plans to bury Chunjia, but she was used to being with such a person for many years, and suddenly she was alone. I was just at a loss for a while.
Being disturbed like this, the depression in her heart actually dissipated a lot.
From the next day, it gradually returned to life.
This made Xinjun and others sigh with relief.
In the next few years, the new king still refused to give up. From time to time, he arranged for some young men who looked exactly like Chunjia to hang out in front of Xie Fenghuang. Encourage yourself to cuckold your own father.
This was the first time she had seen such a deceitful son, and she was quite worried that one day he would deceive her as well.
However, the new king did not show any father-son affection towards Chunjia, but was quite patient with her as his own mother. After becoming emperor, he just ran away after being beaten, and he had no intention of disobedience.
Mrs. Xie Fenghuang lived peacefully for more than twenty years. On a Lantern Festival night, she passed away holding the last lantern made by the late Emperor himself.
Xinjun was already older at that time, and looking at the faded but well-kept lanterns, he felt a little sad in his eyes.
Unlike his father, Emperor Chunjia, he had many concubines in the harem. Although he respected the queen that his parents personally chose for him, he had never been a romantic person, and he didn't even understand Chunjia's way of doting on his mother and concubine for many years.
After all, what kind of beauties does the emperor have if he is rich all over the world
Well, he felt that he was not unaffectionate, he was just obsessed with a beautiful and gentle woman of fifteen or sixteen years old.
As for the concubines who are fifteen or sixteen years old, they will always grow up, so he who sticks to his own preferences will have to get a new batch...
Why didn't my father change it back then? Although the queen mother is beautiful and smart, doesn't she feel boring after decades? Gong Xiangzhuo has been a little confused when he thinks about his parents these years.
I don’t know whether to praise my father for his determination, or my mother’s skill
With such a sad mood, he personally buried the Empress Dowager and solemnly placed all the lanterns made by the late emperor into the coffin.
In the spring of that year, Gong Xiangjiao and his disciples supported the spirit and sent the coffin of the Empress Dowager to Xuanzong's mausoleum for burial together.
In his dynasty, the story of Gong Xiangji and Xie Fenghuang was already very famous.
But the whole story is also a scene that everyone likes to see: the daughter of the Xie family from a good family in the north was favored by the Yun family of Yiguo Gong because of her good looks and good looks, and was adopted as an adopted daughter and sent to the palace to serve Emperor Xuanzong.
Queen Xie was born with a strange vision. It was said that her appearance and bearing were unparalleled. Therefore, she won the favor of the emperor when she first entered the palace. However, the Ji family was in power at that time and persecuted Queen Xie a lot.
All in all, after the emperor and the empress upgraded and fought monsters again and again, they finally became one Yuji Yunei and one mother Yi Tianxia, creating a story of harmony between the emperor and the empress for decades.
Those who knew the story behind the Ming Jun and the Wise Empress were dumbfounded at first. Later, after hearing more about it, they became a little suspicious, wondering if they had remembered it wrong
Then I gradually felt that this was what happened.
Xuanzong is promising, his wife is virtuous, he lives in the same quilt and dies in the same hole, he has prosperous heirs, heirs are filial and considerate...are they not a match made in heaven
If there are any discrepancies in other unofficial records, they must be random fabrications in order to defraud money and must not be believed.
