I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber
Chapter 129: Affectionate Conversation between the Emperor and Empress
The time was the ninth day of the fifth month of the Great Yao calendar, and the location was the capital of the Great Yao Dynasty, Jingning City. The incident took place at the headquarters of the Nether City, the Cloud Summit of Mount Emei in Bashu. Inside the Great Yao Palace, the bedroom of Prince Mingde, Ruining Palace, the bedroom of Empress Jingrui, Jiuhuang Palace, the bedroom of the Emperor, Minghe Palace, and the bedroom of Xianshu Miaoshou and Lin Daiyu, Jingruzhai.
The emperor and the empress naturally knew everything that happened in the Ruining Palace. When night fell and a crescent moon hung in the blue sky, the emperor, accompanied by Shi Chengyu, arrived at the bedroom of the Jingrui Queen - the Nine Phoenix Palace.
Empress Jingrui hurriedly led four maids, Baishao, Zisu, Qingdai, and Yinqiao, as well as four female officials, Jingxin, Ruogu, Ruizhi, and Qingming, and knelt in person to welcome the emperor.
The emperor hurriedly helped the queen up and said, "Queen, please stand up quickly. There is no need to be so polite."
After the Queen and the maids stood up, the Queen smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty, why did you come here so late?!"
Facing the queen's distant attitude, the emperor said awkwardly, "What the queen means is that I can't come to see her if there is nothing wrong?!"
The queen still said dignifiedly and gently: "That is not what I meant."
The emperor looked at the empress and waved his hand gently. Shi Chengyu and all the maids and officials withdrew, leaving only the emperor and the empress in the Jiuhuang Palace.
Seeing the emperor dismiss his attendants, Empress Jingrui knelt down in fear and trepidation and said, "I wonder what important matter Your Majesty wants to discuss with me. I am all ears and hope to comfort Your Majesty."
The emperor looked at the empress who was kneeling on the ground, bent down and gently held her hand, gazed at her affectionately and said, "My beloved wife, please stand up. When did the distance between me and my beloved wife become so great?"
The empress gently pulled away the emperor's hand and said, "I dare not hope to be called your beloved wife. Your Majesty's grace is like flowing water, too short and ruthless. I no longer have any extravagant hopes. May I ask if your Majesty has anything to discuss? If not, it is late at night. Please go back to Minghe Hall and rest early."
The emperor looked at the queen disappointedly and said, "You and I have both experienced life and death. Must things between us be like this?!"
The queen said calmly, "My heart was already dead when Your Majesty lost sight of right and wrong and was obsessed with beauty."
The emperor placed his hands on the queen's shoulders and said, "My beloved wife, what do you want me to do in order to forgive me?!"
The queen turned away again and said, "I have said it before, I have never felt resentment, so how can I forgive you?! There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. How can a person with a dead heart have any emotions?!"
The emperor stepped forward, held the queen's hands and said, "I love you deeply. Even though I dote on Princess Jingfan, I have never intended to shake your position as queen. In my heart, your calmness, wisdom, brightness and dignity are my ideal queen."
When the queen tried to pull her hands away this time, the emperor held them tightly, so the queen had no choice but to give up. She shook her head, then looked up at the emperor and said, "Whether you are the queen or an ordinary woman, my heart is as calm as water now, and there will be no ripples. Your Majesty, please go back!"
Faced with the queen's coldness and ruthlessness, the emperor turned away silently, tears welling up in his eyes. He said to the queen in disappointment: "Why are you so cold? It was like this before, and it is still like this now. Do you know how much your aloofness and coldness hurt my heart! When I was facing the heavy and urgent state affairs, I felt so depressed. Every time I came to the Nine Phoenix Palace, you always gave me a cold face and never showed me any warmth. I am really disappointed!"
Queen Jingrui said with tears in her eyes: "When Your Majesty was still the Crown Prince, I and Your Majesty were like a pair. When I told Your Majesty that I didn't like the fighting in the harem and just wanted to be together for the rest of my life, Your Majesty was even willing to give up the Crown Prince position to his younger brother. I was the happiest when I was the Crown Princess. The husband in my mind is dead! Your Majesty, please go back!"
The emperor turned around angrily and wanted to go back, but he still said sadly: "Even though I have thousands of favorite concubines, you are always the queen in my heart. The reason why I favored Princess Jingfan back then was because you always treated me coldly and alienated me. After so many years, I want to know why?!"
Queen Jingrui turned around and said, "Then may I ask your Majesty, since you ascended the throne, the harem has been constantly enriched. Where has your wisdom and virtue when you were the crown prince gone?!"
The emperor still said with good reason: "How can being a prince be compared with being an emperor?!"
Empress Jingrui looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, have you not understood what I mean? I am not a jealous person. I have always liked Qi Xu, who is wise, decisive, kind and righteous. But since ascending the throne, Your Majesty has gradually forgotten the grand aspirations of his youth, and also forgotten his original beautiful responsibility and mission to the country."
The emperor said feebly, "Even if I have forgotten my original aspirations and ambitions when I was young, does the queen have to ignore me, distance herself from me, and turn a blind eye to me?!"
Queen Jingrui said with tears in her eyes: "As the queen, I have advised you all that you should have advised, and I have done all that you should and shouldn't have done. But Your Majesty is always stubborn and insists on doing what he wants. Your Majesty is the king and I am your wife. What else can I do?!"
Only then did the emperor realize the difficulties and helplessness that the queen had gone through over the years. He closed his eyes and said, "Even if I am sometimes paranoid, as long as the queen does what she should do and has a clear conscience, why would she ignore and hurt my heart?!"
Empress Jingrui looked at the emperor with disappointment and said, "Please forgive me for being too frank and straightforward. I never hide my feelings. I am obviously extremely disappointed, but I still have to put on a smile and flatter you. I can't do that!"
The emperor sighed softly and said, "Perhaps I should have had a frank talk with you like I am doing now. It seems that there are too many misunderstandings between you and me."
Queen Jingrui shook her head and said, "The world is unpredictable and the world is changing. After twenty years of living in the harem, I am already tired of it. It is only for the beautiful oath I made when I was young that I have been trying to be a qualified queen!"
After hearing this, the emperor slowly fell into deep memories: he and the queen were young and in love, a perfect match. They lived together in the Jingyi Palace of the East Palace. Every day, apart from attending court, they played chess, calligraphy and painting, talked by candlelight, and had a warm tent. They loved each other infinitely. This should be the beauty of waiting! ......
Seeing that the emperor was lost in thought with a happy smile on his face, the queen interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty! I should study medical books. The country has been invaded by witchcraft and evil magic. I hope to find a way to control it as soon as possible so that the people of the world can live and work in peace as soon as possible. It's getting late, Your Majesty, please go back!"
The emperor came back to his senses, sighed sadly and said: "My beloved wife has not changed over the years, you are still the good queen in my heart. It is me who has changed, I have gradually lost my original intention and forgotten my youthful ambitions, it is my fault. It is very late, my beloved wife, please don't work hard to study medicine, you should rest early! I will leave now! But I came here today just to discuss witchcraft with my beloved wife."
The Queen's mood eased a little, and she said gently and quietly: "Your Majesty, what do you want to discuss with me?!"
The emperor looked at the queen and said, "My beloved wife is already tired. It will be the same if I come again tomorrow. You should go to bed early."
The empress bowed and looked at the emperor's back, with mixed feelings in her heart, she said: "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
