The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

As soon as the words came out, Xie Yaoqing suddenly realized that it was not right to say this. It felt like deliberately opening someone else's scars and pouring salt on the wound, which was cruel.

After all, a person's birth is not decided by himself, not to mention that there are royal secrets behind Xiao Chengxu's life experience. Perhaps everything that happened back then was a conspiracy and calculation. It is very likely that Xiao Chengxu has never seen his biological mother since he was born, and his biological mother, the concubine of the previous emperor who gave birth to him with great difficulty, may not have had the opportunity to see him. Even after giving birth to the child, the poor woman died, otherwise how could she have left the mother and kept the child, and come up with a trick to change the world.

Xie Yaoqing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but due to his face, he did not apologize in the end.

However, Xiao Chengxu didn't seem to care about it at all. His expression didn't change at all. He said gently, "It's all my fault. It's my birthday. Why don't you change the time?"

Hearing this, Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but frowning, and her two crescent-shaped eyebrows were tightly squeezed together, almost forming the shape of the Chinese character "川".

She snorted and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you change your birth date and time at will? How can you treat it as a joke?"

After a pause, Xie Yaoqing continued, "Your Majesty, please don't try to deceive me. If my nonsense just now gets out, I'm afraid I'll be impeached by the imperial censors again."

Since ancient times, it has never been heard that one can change the date of birth. Maybe someone does this in private, but there will definitely be no news leaked out in public. Moreover, the royal family has the most stringent rules in the world. Not to mention being born on the first day of April, even on the Zhongyuan Festival, which is commonly known as the Ghost Festival, it cannot be changed.

If it was just a change of name or courtesy name, it would be understandable, but changing one's birth date and horoscope is something absurd and unheard of.

Even elders would not change the birth date of younger generations without authorization, and she and Xiao Chengxu belonged to the same generation, and Xiao Chengxu was still the emperor. If she changed Xiao Chengxu's birthday with a single word, causing the Wanshou Festival to be changed in the future, it would be extremely inappropriate in terms of both emotion and reason.

Moreover, the birth date and eight characters are already determined from the moment a person is born. So even if it is modified by human intervention, it is just deceiving oneself and others, and it will be of no use.

Xiao Chengxu's eyes moved slightly, and the hand holding Xie Yaoqing tightened unconsciously, and he said softly: "I didn't think it through enough, and almost put Qingqing in a disadvantageous situation. But in this way, Qingqing may suffer a little injustice."

Xie Yaoqing raised her eyes and glanced at him. Her beautiful face showed some doubt and puzzlement. She asked curiously, "What are you aggrieved about?"

"You don't like the first day of April, but you keep thinking about it. Isn't this a kind of grievance?"

There was a barely perceptible smile in Xiao Chengxu's voice.

Xie Yaoqing turned away in disdain, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he sneered, "You are so eloquent and self-indulgent."

If the palace had not sent people to urge her three or four times a day, she would have continued to live in the manor for a long time.

On the Emperor's birthday, a banquet of all sizes would have to be held to entertain all the ministers. If she did not show up from beginning to end, it would inevitably cause trouble, making people think that she, the queen, was unfavored, and the capital would be filled with rumors.

She returned to the palace for her own sake, not because of Xiao Chengxu.

Although Xie Yaoqing did not mention any names, there was no one else in the room except the two of them. Xie Yaoqing naturally could not mock him, so the only person left was Xiao Chengxu.

Xiao Chengxu certainly understood what Xie Yaoqing meant, but he didn't intend to take it to heart. After all, he was very clear whether he was being too sentimental.

After being married for many years, Xiao Chengxu knew Xie Yaoqing's temperament. He knew that she was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and that she had a strong sense of self-esteem and was always strong-willed. She would never show weakness to others easily.

The originally gloomy sky outside the window gradually turned pale, and a ray of dawn shone through the clouds onto the earth.

Xiao Chengxu looked at the scene outside the window, and a hope surged in his heart. He believed that one day, he would be able to make Xie Yaoqing completely let go of the past grudges and accept him again.

Life is long, and he is willing to spend his entire life waiting for an answer.

……

Xie Yaoqing wanted to go back to Kunning Palace, after all, that was her own bedroom and she would feel more comfortable there. But Xiao Chengxu refused, saying that it was bad for her health to move around like this, and it would be better for her to live directly in Qianqing Palace.

Hearing this, Xie Yaoqing sneered, "Since it is the emperor's arrangement, I will naturally obey. But I am curious, I have been living in the Palace of Heavenly Purity for a while, so where does the emperor plan to live? In my opinion, if it is for the convenience of attending court, you might as well move to the Qihua Palace. Although no one has lived there for a long time, it has everything you need and will not be missing anything. If there is really something missing, you can move it from the Palace of Heavenly Purity."

Xiao Chengxu shook his head and said, "Let's not go to Qihua Palace. Qianqing Palace is spacious enough for Qingqing and I to live together."

This is true. In the imperial palace, no other palace is more spacious than the Palace of Heavenly Purity. This is not only because of its huge area, but also because the status and power it symbolizes are also unique.

As the emperor's sleeping palace, the Palace of Heavenly Purity must naturally display an unparalleled grandeur. Otherwise, if it reveals even the slightest pettiness, it will inevitably be looked down upon.

As the ruler of the world, the emperor's residence must be majestic and imposing. Only in this way can the subjects feel awe and dare not offend easily. Just like the Bodhisattva in the temple, if it is high above, solemn and majestic, people will feel awe at the sight of it, and then people will naturally respect it more. On the contrary, if the image of the Bodhisattva is dilapidated and no different from a stone on the roadside, how many people are willing to go there to worship sincerely?

Therefore, the spaciousness of the Palace of Heavenly Purity is not only a material manifestation, but also a symbol of power.

If they were in Kunning Palace, Xie Yaoqing's words would still be of some use, but now they were in Qianqing Palace, which was Xiao Chengxu's territory. If he insisted on living here, Xie Yaoqing would be helpless and could only glare at him at most.

How shameless! Xie Yaoqing muttered to himself.

So Xie Yaoqing settled down in the Qianqing Palace.

When Zhiyu and others learned the news, Xie Yaoqing arranged for them to clean up another bedroom, but they were stopped by Fengan.

"Aunt Zhiyu, Aunt Juexia, my two good aunts, please don't follow the Empress in making trouble. The Empress and the Emperor are married, how can they sleep in separate beds and live in separate rooms? If this continues, even the most loving couple will have rifts. Although the Emperor and the Empress had some conflicts in the past, in my opinion, this may be an opportunity for them to reconcile."

Zhiyu and Juexia looked at each other, feeling a little conflicted for a moment.

What Eunuch Feng'an said does make some sense. Your Majesty cannot continue to be in a stalemate with the Emperor like this.

Feng An smiled and thought that the keys to all the rooms in the Qianqing Palace were under his control. Without the keys, even if the Qianqing Palace had many bedrooms for people to rest, it would be of no use.

The emperor is trying hard to win back the queen's heart. As the most useful person around the emperor, how can he hold the emperor back at this time? He must help the emperor and contribute his meager efforts.
