Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Wu Qingyao was named Concubine Virtue, she can still afford the word "virtue", and she is quite popular in the palace.Some little court ladies and eunuchs are wronged and ask her to make decisions, and she will basically uphold justice.These low-level eunuchs and maids also know that the queen and imperial concubine are easy to talk to, and Yan Guifei is even more eye-catching, but these empresses are too high to be sought after.Concubine De is at the end of the four concubines, her status is neither high nor low, and she is relatively easy to get in touch with.Wu Qingyao got a child because of a one-night distraction, and because of this child, Zhao Xiyan's favor, those things that everyone had a tacit understanding in the past never failed to mention.Wu Qingyao herself knew that if it wasn't for this child, no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to get to Zhao Xiyan's side.Who told the past to make mistakes again and again, but she has no way to do it. The shackles of fate are firmly imprisoning her, and she has no chance to break free.If possible, she didn't want to harm anyone, let alone Zhao Xiyan.Fortunately, this child came, which made her and Zhao Xiyan tightly bound together for the rest of her life.She has selfish motives, she wants to be tied to Zhao Xiyan no matter what.She knew that Zhao Xiyan accepted her out of a sense of responsibility, but the goal had already been achieved, so it didn't matter what his original intention was.Now she feels very satisfied, the child grows up healthily, looks a lot like Zhao Xiyan, and also like her.Zhao Xiyan also accepted her, treated her very well, and liked to eat the dishes he cooked.

Occasionally, Wu Qingyao dreamed back at midnight, and Wu Qingyao would also dream that her deceased family members and clansmen looked at her with a smile, and they were all still alive.She also dreamed that she was back in [-]. She was not captured by Jia Yuting, but had a beautiful encounter with Zhao Xiyan on the streets of Suzhou.There is no conspiracy, no use, and no darkness.But more often, I dreamed that when I happily opened the door of the house, I found dead bodies all over the place. My parents, brothers, brothers, nephews and nieces all had their eyes wide open and were covered in blood.I dreamed that I had just reached Ji, but was pushed into the room by Jia Yuting and roughly ripped off my clothes and took away my innocence. No matter how hard I pushed, I couldn't push her away, and I couldn't let her go no matter how much I begged. He was still leaning on me□□ .I dreamed that I was forced to serve others helplessly, dreamed that she changed Su Qingshu’s medicine with her own hands, dreamed of Zhao Xiyan’s eyes that hated her to the bone before jumping off the cliff on Nanshan Mountain, dreamed of Zhao Xiyan holding a sword on the banks of the Liangzhou River on her neck.Every time she dreams of these things, she will suddenly wake up from the dream in fright, unable to recover for a long time.Then she huddled in the corner of the bed like a frightened bird.Although everything has passed, Jia Yuting has been killed by her own hands, but everything is always vivid in her memory, and she can't forget it even if she wants to.Especially when she was just reaching Ji, the day Jia Yuting took away her innocence made her a dirty woman.She couldn't push away this demon at all, and could only be possessed by him. She really hoped that she had met Zhao Xiyan at that time, and that Zhao Xiyan could protect her.

On this day, Zhao Xiyan made a big fuss in the previous court. The reason was that a famous prostitute suddenly came to the capital and knelt at the Yin Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to beat drums and express his grievances.This prostitute's name is Yi Xin, and she is a famous prostitute in the Qinhuai brothel. Because of her extremely beautiful appearance, her ability to play the piano well and her proficiency in poetry, she is very sought after by the world.Unexpectedly, I ran into Wan Qianxun, a poor scholar. Wan Qianxun had been dedicated to subsidizing the exams for many years, and had to give money to the imperial examinations in the tenth year of Tianyuan.Wan Qianxun once swore to Yixin that if she was named on the gold list, she would be married with red makeup and a bright matchmaker.Unexpectedly, Wan Qianxun really fell in love with Tan Hualang in the tenth year of Tianyuan, but turned around and married the daughter of a general in the Ministry of War.When Wan Qianxun got married, he sent a letter to ask him, is it true that Shili Hongzhuang Mingmei is marrying him?Wan Qianxun replied, "A few vermilion lips are tasted by thousands of people, how can it match my Tanhualang, it can be said that every word is heart-wrenching.Yixin went through untold hardships to get rid of the brothel, and went to Beijing to beat the drums to express his grievances.Unexpectedly, when Wan Qianxun heard the news, he made things difficult in every possible way, and Yixin almost died several times.Zhao Xiyan was furious when he heard the report from the governor of Jingzhao.Zhun Yixin entered the palace to sue the imperial court and denounced those who betrayed their hearts.In the Golden Luan Hall, he knelt down in front of Zhao Xiyan to express his feelings, Zhao Xiyan's face darkened the more he listened.Wan Qianxun is currently a seventh-rank editor at the Imperial Academy. Hearing that the emperor summoned him because of a single-minded matter, his legs were already trembling with fright.

"A bit of red lips tasted by thousands of people, how can it match your Tanhualang. But you wrote it?"

"Return to the Holy One, it was written by... the minister."

"It really is a good literary talent. I have not misjudged you in choosing you as Tanhua."

"Thank you... Your Majesty for your compliment."

"I'll answer you a few words too, if you don't have vermilion lips, why would you come here, Tanhualang! Come on! Dismiss Wan Qianxun from his post and confiscate his family, demote him to a commoner, and will never be hired! Attempt to murder someone's life, the crime will be increased, One hundred lashes, ten years in prison, no amnesty."

Wan Qianxun never expected that his journey to the top of the cloud had just started, and he was sent to jail before he was promoted.Wan Qianxun must have been filled with remorse, crying and begging Zhao Xiyan to spare him, and even begged for it, but the disheartened beauty never gave him a cold look.This was to uphold justice, and Zhao Xiyan just opened up her whole-hearted prostitution, gave her some money and let her go back.Zhao Xiyan deliberately took this matter and issued an imperial decree, "Every man in the world should not be a heartless person."This incident became so big that it was widely circulated and became a topic of conversation after dinner.The harem knew about it a long time ago, and when they got up in the morning to pay their respects to the queen, they got together and chatted endlessly.Wu Qingyao felt really uncomfortable when she heard that those concubines who were not favored by Zhao Xiyan treated the courtesan of the brothel with contempt and spurn.Although Wu Qingyao has become the granddaughter of the Wu family in the capital, and is no longer the courtesan of a brothel, only a few of the most distinguished people in the palace know her past.But everything she had experienced was so deeply imprinted in her mind, why didn't she know the madness of that woman named Yixin?How can you not know the sorrow of the brothel woman?If it weren't for being forced to helplessness, which good girl would commit herself to a brothel?It is said that women in brothels do not love themselves and are willing to fall into prostitution. Why do they never say that men are looking for flowers and asking willows, forcing women into prostitution?When she learned about Zhao Xiyan's attitude, she was very relieved.She knew that her husband and son-in-law were different from men and women in the world, especially after hearing the phrase "If you don't have vermilion lips, why would you come to Tanhualang", she couldn't help laughing, and her heart relaxed a lot for no reason. .

This matter was in the limelight, and the harem chatted for a while as a leisurely meal.Wu Qingyao felt uncomfortable after hearing this, so she told the queen that she was sick and asked for leave.Su Qingshu also knew about Wu Qingyao's experiences. Those women in the harem did distort the facts and seriously injured the women in the brothel by virtue of their status as daughters of aristocratic families. It is normal for Wu Qingyao not to understand.Su Qingshu approved Wu Qingyao's lie, and ordered the harem not to talk any more the next day, and the group of unfavored women in the harem no longer dared to talk nonsense.Wu Qingyao asked for leave, and the sign of serving her bedroom was withdrawn. When Zhao Xiyan turned over the sign at night, she heard that she was ill, so she went straight to Cuiwei Palace to visit her.Zhao Xiyan turned over Wu Qingyao's sign two days before this happened. Wu Qingyao really didn't expect Zhao Xiyan to come again suddenly.But Wu Qingyao was very happy that he could come, but at that time she was playing pottery with her children, her hands were covered in mud, and she didn't know what to do.Just when Wu Qingyao ordered the maid to call for warm water and took the child to wash his hands before he had time to dry them, Zhao Xiyan came in.Qiyu was naturally very happy to see her father, so she trotted up to Zhao Xiyan, saluted respectfully, and stretched out her arms to hug her.Qiyu was a clever kid, and his own son loved her, so Zhao Xiyan naturally embraced her.

"Father, father! My boy just learned pottery with mother and concubine. My boy made a big teacup for father to drink tea."

"My Yu'er is filial. She thinks about her father in everything, and her pain is not in vain."

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor, why is the emperor here so free today?"

Wu Qingyao gave a small gift to Zhao Xiyan, looking at Zhao Xiyan's eyes full of shining stars.Zhao Xiyan naturally took her hand and tightened it, and felt the temperature on Wu Qingyao's forehead with the back of his hand.

"I heard that you were sick, so I came here because I was worried about you. Why are your hands so cold, but your forehead isn't hot? What's wrong with you? Have you ever invited an imperial physician?"

"Mother and concubine are not sick, who is talking nonsense, father and emperor, go and beat him!"

In Zhao Xiyan's arms, Qiyu imitated how her father, the emperor, got angry and beat the eunuch's board at the gate of Cuiwei Palace last time, which made Zhao Xiyan and Wu Qingyao laugh so hard.Last time, because Liu Zhaorong relied on her father to be powerful in the previous court, but she was not favored in the harem, she wanted to trouble this concubine De, who was not from a good family background or the most favored.In the middle of winter, I hired a few young eunuchs to deliberately pour water on the road that Wu Qingyao must pass every day.In the end, Wu Qingyao didn't fall, but Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan was so angry that he beat those eunuchs half to death, and Liu Zhaorong was thrown into limbo.Zhao Xiyan's hand stroked Wu Qingyao's face, testing the temperature. Wu Qingyao covered Zhao Xiyan's hand and kept it on her face.Wu Qingyao and Zhao Xiyan's eyes met. Wu Qingyao was greedy for Zhao Xiyan's temperature all over her face, shy and snickering like a daughter who hadn't left the court.

"Chenqie, I just haven't been able to sleep well these few days. The emperor doesn't have to worry."

"That's good. I'll coax you to sleep tonight, and you'll have a good night's sleep."

Seeing Wu Qingyao's shy appearance, Zhao Xiyan raised his index finger to hook Wu Qingyao's nose without even thinking about it, and then led Wu Qingyao to walk inside. The action was really doting.Wu Qingyao was so sweet by Zhao Xiyan's action, she was a little flustered and was led by Zhao Xiyan all the way, following her all the way.Walking into the yard, Zhao Xiyan looked at the unformed embryos and smiled.

"Did Qingyao bring Yu'er to play pottery here just now?"

"Yes, the day before yesterday, Yu'er saw a craftsman making pottery somewhere, and when he came back, he argued with his concubine that he wanted to play. The concubine couldn't stop him from making trouble, so she had to take him to play and learn."

Qiyu jumped out of Zhao Xiyan's arms, ran back to her previous position, rolled up her sleeves, and stretched her hands back onto Tao Yu. "Father! Look! This is the big teacup that the boy made for you. The mother Tao Si taught the boy. After the mother said it was done, burn it and it will become a big teacup."

Qiyu is really cute, and he is the most caring among his many sons. He always thinks about his father in everything, and Zhao Xiyan is in great pain.The little guy rolled up his sleeves and did it seriously. Zhao Xiyan pulled Wu Qingyao to play with him.Wu Qingyao returned to her original position to complete the semi-finished product. Zhao Xiyan hugged Qiyu from behind and finished a big teacup with him.Zhao Xiyan is very patient with the child, and he doesn't think he is troublesome at all.Wu Qingyao looked at Zhao Xiyan's patience with Qiyu, and felt that all the hardships she had suffered were nothing.What Wu Qingyao made was a pen holder. She had a study in Cuiwei Palace, hoping that Zhao Xiyan could come to Cuiwei Palace to work occasionally when he was busy with political affairs.She also thought that Zhao Xiyan taught Qiyu to read in person, and she wanted to hear the voice of Zhao Xiyan and Qiyu studying together.Wu Qingyao was extremely serious, Zhao Xiyan looked up, and a woman who was really serious was the most attractive.At some point, Zhao Xiyan appeared behind her, wrapped her arms around her waist, and touched his own with both hands.Wu Qingyao was about to turn her head to look at him, but Zhao Xiyan just kissed her earlobe and said softly.This kiss threw a stone into the quiet lake, causing ripples.Wu Qingyao panicked and shrank back.

"Don't move, the embryo is going to be crooked."

Wu Qingyao didn't dare to move anymore, and let Zhao Xiyan's hand lead hers to turn on the mud embryo, so quiet that only her own violent heartbeat and Zhao Xiyan's rhythmic breathing could be heard.After a while, Zhao Xiyan spoke in a very low voice but clearly in her ear.

"I know that the harem discussed some things, and you may not be very happy to hear that."

"You don't have to care about what other people say or think, the important thing is what you and I think, don't you?"

Not knowing whether it was intentional or not, Zhao Xiyan put his head on Wu Qingyao's shoulder. When Zhao Xiyan spoke, Wu Qingyao could clearly feel the vibration in his throat.She only felt that her heart was trembling with the trembling in her throat, until many years later, Wu Qingyao could clearly remember this day, and her feeling like an electric shock when Zhao Xiyan's throat vibrated when she spoke.

"I think you are very good, you are a good wife and mother."

"I will protect you, don't be afraid."

Wu Qingyao lowered her head slightly and smiled sweetly, and shook Zhao Xiyan's hand tightly, as a response.Yes, what does she care about, everything is under his protection.With him here, no one can bully her anymore, and someone will protect her and the child for the rest of her life.It took the three of them a lot of effort to finish it, but it looked a little ugly, so Aunt Tao took it down and reworked it, and it took a few days to send it back.Wu Qingyao cooked delicious food for Zhao Xiyan herself, and even boiled a pot of wine.The family of three enjoyed dinner together, and in the evening Zhao Xiyan checked Qiyu's recitation of the thousand-character prose.The little guy didn't slack off and memorized everything. Zhao Xiyan was very pleased and agreed to make him a slingshot.Qiyu is young, just entered the imperial school, and she was so happy that she got the slingshot promised by her father that she couldn't find her.Zhao Xiyan took him to make a fuss for a while before letting him take a bath and go to bed. Only Zhao Xiyan and Wu Qingyao were left in the bedroom.Zhao Xiyan had been busy all day today, and was extremely sleepy. After changing his clothes and lying on the bed, he was already drowsy, yawning profusely.Wu Qingyao knew that he was busy with political affairs, so he had to take turns to accompany the sisters every day, and he had to find time to teach the children himself and play with them.Even if you fight your body with iron, you can't stand such a high consumption.She didn't blame Zhao Xiyan for coming to her palace to sleep, and didn't spoil her. On the contrary, she felt very sorry for Zhao Xiyan, and massaged his neck and head by beating his shoulders and back.Zhao Xiyan also liked Wu Qingyao's massage technique very much, it was neither light nor heavy, and every acupuncture point was found very well.

Soon Zhao Xiyan fell asleep comfortably. After Wu Qingyao saw that he was fast asleep, she just leaned over and kissed him secretly, and then lay down beside Zhao Xiyan.Tuck him in the quilt, hold his hand and clasp his fingers and fall asleep.Just as Wu Qingyao fell asleep, she was attacked by a nightmare again. She dreamed that Jia Yuting pushed her into the room and was violently tearing her clothes.No matter how she pushed, she couldn't push it away, she was so terrified and desperate.

"do not want!"

Zhao Xiyan was awakened by the sound of "Don't do it", and Wu Qingyao was also awakened by her own nightmare.After Wu Qingyao woke up from the fright, she threw herself into Zhao Xiyan's arms with lingering fear.Zhao Xiyan knew that she must be having another nightmare, dreaming about those bad things from before.He hugged her tightly and couldn't help stroking her hair.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm always here."

Wu Qingyao arrived in Zhao Xiyan's arms, smelled the familiar aroma, and gradually calmed down.Zhao Xiyan comforted her for a long time before Wu Qingyao came out of Zhao Xiyan's arms.She put her arms on Zhao Xiyan's shoulders, and met his eyes, apologetic.

"Your majesty, I'm sorry, the concubine's nightmare woke you up."

"It's okay, are you feeling better?"

"It's better, the emperor should go to sleep soon, tomorrow he has to go to court early."

"Nothing, I went to bed early today. I have been having nightmares these days, so I can't sleep well, right? Tomorrow I will ask the imperial physician to take your pulse and prescribe some tonics for calming the nerves. Nightmare can be big or small, don't hide your illness from the doctor."

"Okay." Zhao Xiyan cared about her, Wu Qingyao's drowsiness was gone, and the fear of nightmares was gone, and all that was replaced was sweetness.Wu Qingyao threw herself into Zhao Xiyan's arms again, sniffing the fragrance of his body greedily.Zhao Xiyan hugged her and fell on the bed, coaxing her to sleep, singing a lullaby to coax Qiyu.Wu Qingyao fell asleep lying on Zhao Xiyan's chest. There will be no more nightmares tonight, and the dreams are all about Zhao Xiyan treating her well.Early the next morning, Wu Qingyao woke up early, and she wanted to prepare breakfast for Zhao Xiyan herself.It is said that the plan of a day lies in the morning, and breakfast must be used well.When she was almost ready, Wu Qingyao went to call Zhao Xiyan.It's a pity that Zhao Xiyan coaxed her to sleep last night, but she was a little tired and slept deeply.Wu Qingyao secretly kissed Zhao Xiyan again, but just as her red lips touched Zhao Xiyan's, she didn't expect Zhao Xiyan to respond to her, and even extended her hand to the back of her head to prevent her from escaping.Wu Qingyao was shocked at the beginning, but fell in love in a moment, and separated after a long time of entanglement.Wu Qingyao's face was flushed, and she didn't dare to look at Zhao Xiyan after she was found out.Zhao Xiyan stood up and stretched, then turned around and kissed her on the cheek, evoking a smile.

"In the future, you don't need to steal a kiss, you can ask me openly and aboveboard."

Wu Qingyao blushed like a pig's liver when she heard this, and was so nervous that she didn't know how to answer.Zhao Xiyan stood in front of the screen and rummaged through the clothes, but he couldn't find them. He turned around and smiled softly at Wu Qingyao, and stretched out his right hand.

"I can already smell the aroma of breakfast, if you don't bring me clothes, it will be cold."

After hearing this, Wu Qingyao didn't know why all the sweetness in her heart surged up, she trot down from the bed, and handed the clothes to Zhao Xiyan, including herself.
