marry queen

Concubine Zheng sat dejectedly by the queen's bed for a long time, the morning sun shone through the window, the thick blanket and quilt seemed to move a little, and then a very weak voice called out: "Wan'er?"

Concubine Zheng raised her head abruptly, and found that the queen woke up at some point, and looked at herself with half-opened eyes full of surprise. Concubine Zheng quickly grabbed the queen's hand and said repeatedly: "It's me, I'm here."

The queen's face seemed to be covered with a layer of green smoke. She raised the corners of her mouth, showing a misty and happy smile, and took a deep breath, "I thought you would never come to my place again."

Concubine Zheng held back the tears that were about to fall, and firmly held the queen's hand, both happy and worried, "What stupid things are you talking about?"

"At the beginning, I was the one who felt sorry for you. I was in a moment of anxiety before I said the cruel words. I have caused you and me to be separated for so long. In fact, I have never blamed you..." The queen moved, and moved her other arm from the Taking it out from the quilt, he held Concubine Zheng's hand instead, and explained slowly, "Wan'er, do you still blame me?"

Concubine Zheng shook her head, tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably and dripped on the back of the queen's hand, her hand was still as white and tender as a girl's, but it was too thin to hold, Concubine Zheng said tearfully: "I never blamed you. "

Seeing that the two had settled their suspicions, the queen felt very happy. She laughed even happier, but she couldn't avoid the cold with her arms outside. Before she could say a few words, she started coughing again. Stuffing her hands back into the quilt, and tucking the corners of the quilt well for her, looking at the sick and weak queen with only one head exposed, thinking of the woman who was once more bright and bright than flowers, but now she has fallen to such a point, Zheng The concubine's heart hurt like a needle, she couldn't help complaining: "Is it worth doing this for a man?"

The queen smiled faintly, her expression was shy and satisfied like a girl, she smiled and said: "If you like someone like this one day, you will understand that everything for him is worthwhile."

"Why don't I understand, I just don't think he is worth it." Zheng Guifei muttered to herself.

The queen didn't hear clearly, she turned her head and asked her, "What did you say?"

Concubine Zheng smiled resignedly, stroked the queen's hair, and said in a daze, "But he never had you in his heart, Yanjun, I'm not worth it for you."

The empress looked sad, lowered her eyes, and said lightly: "I can't do anything about these things. I only know that from the first time I saw His Majesty, he was the only one in my heart." After finishing speaking, the empress looked at Concubine Zheng Gui, Slightly apologetic and continued, "That's why I was so angry when you entered the palace and became pregnant with his child. You are my best sister. I can share everything with you, but he can't." .”

Concubine Zheng felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. She had said these words once in the palace five years ago, and it still hurts her heart to listen to them now. Zuo was tired of hearing it, "Still talking about this, aren't you afraid that I will have trouble with you again?"

"You won't, Wan'er, I have never asked you, since you don't like Your Majesty, why did you enter the palace as a concubine in the first place?" The Queen fixedly looked at Concubine Zheng.

Concubine Zheng Gui was suddenly stopped by the question, and she didn't dare to look directly into the Queen's eyes. She avoided the Queen's gaze a little bit, and said helplessly, "As a concubine, how can I be the master of my life's affairs?"

The queen frowned, obviously not convinced, "But at the beginning, the Taifu only had you as a daughter. It is said that she was raised as a daughter-in-law. She doted on you very much. Even marrying the prince as a concubine is enough."

Concubine Zheng laughed at herself, "Those are just false names for the outside world to see, no matter how honorable a concubine is, she is just a concubine." Such words are very sorry to the Tai Tuo, who really took her seriously back then The baby hurts, otherwise she wouldn't go to the palace to propose marriage in person when she was going to marry Fu Yi, but she couldn't tell the queen these words.

Hearing what she said, the queen's doubts gradually dissipated, and seeing that she was so helpless as a concubine, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Regardless, she stretched out her hand again, squeezed Concubine Zheng's palm, and comforted her with a smile, "Don't do this To underestimate yourself, now that you have a daughter, His Majesty treats you kindly, it is better than marrying someone else, Your Majesty is a good person, very good, you may try to get close to him."

Concubine Zheng patted her hand punitively, "I don't want you to fight with a man, it's an irreversible mistake to conceive his child, why don't you make mistakes again and again, and let you scold me again?" ?”

The queen laughed at her and said, seeing that she came alone, she asked her, "Where is Yongshu?"

"She was playful and slept late yesterday, and this morning, I didn't bring it. I will bring it next time to greet you."

The queen knew that there might not be a next time, but she didn't say it clearly, she just said: "I haven't seen Yongshu very much, only occasionally in the Royal Garden. She looks very similar to you, and she is cute and sensible. She taught very well."

"After all, she is a princess, she is born smart. I didn't teach her much, but the emperor usually disciplines her more." Concubine Zheng was not as indifferent when talking about her daughter as she was talking about Fu Yi, and the love on her face could not be concealed.

The queen said: "From now on, Jue'er will also be taken care of by you. I can rest assured in your palace."

Concubine Zheng's heart skipped a beat, she stretched out two fingers to press the queen's mouth, frowned and said: "Don't talk nonsense, you bring your own when you recover, it will be very troublesome for anyone to raise your son."

The queen smiled and stopped talking. After talking for so long in the morning, her head began to hurt dizzily again, and her complexion became worse. Concubine Zheng looked at it, quickly covered her quilt, patted it lightly, and covered her face Worryingly said: "If you are tired, sleep for a while, it's my carelessness, you just woke up and pestered you to talk about this for a while."

"I'm glad to see you." The queen said with a smile, and then coughed for a while. Concubine Zheng didn't dare to talk to her anymore, so she covered her eyes with her palm and forced her to sleep. Will fall asleep again, the faint breath blowing on Concubine Zheng's hand is an emotion that Concubine Zheng cannot let go of. She sits on the side of the bed and watches the Queen fall asleep. She didn't stand up until the sun was shining and Fu Yu came.

"You're here, has the queen woke up?" Fu Yi was surprised for a moment when he saw her, and asked her.

Concubine Zheng Gui respectfully saluted, and said calmly: "I woke up, and now I'm asleep."

"It's good to wake up." Fu Yi finally let go of his hanging heart. He lifted the curtain and glanced at the Queen. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he didn't disturb her. Concubine Zheng knelt down behind him and said: "Your Majesty, Yong Shu should go to the study now, and the concubine will leave first."

"Well, you go first." Fu Wei nodded, and Concubine Zheng retreated. The sun outside Fengyi Palace was warm, and the blue sky was not mixed with any impurities. It was very similar to the day when she and the queen first met, but things were People are different, more than ten years have passed, and they are no longer the naive and immature children they were back then.Concubine Zheng Gui stood in the courtyard of Fengyi Palace and looked up at the sun for a long time. She didn't leave until her head felt bored. The cruel high-walled compound not only trapped the queen's youth, but also buried her dream forever.

In the third year of Huicheng, Qingming, one of the ever-burning lanterns that Concubine Zheng had been lighting at Putuo Temple in the suburbs of Beijing was blown out by the wind. Empress Mo died of illness in Fengyi Palace that night after being ill for half a year.

The emperor mourned and ordered everyone in the palace, except the queen mother, regardless of concubines, princes or eunuchs, to serve the queen for three months. Fengyi Palace guards the spirit of the queen.

The national mother mourned, and the whole country mourned. In the month of the queen's death, the capital was much quieter, and there was not even the sound of silk and bamboo in the lively festival in the past.

One day after the Queen's death, it began to rain heavily in the capital, and the sky was gray all day long, as if the heavens were also saddened by the fall of the country's peony.

Sitting in the Chengguang Hall, Fu Yi lost a lot of weight, his eye sockets were sunken, and there were bruises under his eyes that couldn't be covered. He looked haggard and vicissitudes.Jin Fu watched at the door with a sad face, he didn't know why he was in a hurry, looked up, Shen Zhiqiu stepped forward, hurriedly went up to greet Shen Zhiqiu with relief, no matter which concubine came before, Fu Yi didn't see him, probably only this one in front of him, He would like to meet.

Shen Zhiqiu didn't let him inform, quietly opened the door and walked in, only four lamps were lit in Chengguang Hall, Fu Yu sat alone in the dark, Shen Zhiqiu walked to him, Fu Yu looked up and saw him when he heard the movement, and spoke wearily Said: "You are here."

Shen Zhiqiu put the food box that Jin Fu asked him to bring in on the table, covered Fu Yi's hand, and persuaded him softly, "I heard from Jin Fu that you haven't eaten for two days, eat more, otherwise you won't have the strength Guard the empress."

Fu Yu's hands were cold, and Shen Zhiqiu's hand was held tightly when he put it up. His sadness was transmitted to Shen Zhiqiu's heart through the temperature of his palm. You still have to take care of the dragon body, the sky of Beiwu still depends on you."

"I knew that she had feelings for me, but I still asked to marry her for the influence of King Zhennan, which made her misunderstand and delayed her life. I am sorry for her." Fu Yi said painfully.

Shen Zhiqiu consoled, "But at least she was happy when she was with you, that's enough, I don't think the Empress will blame you."

"That's the way it is. I feel even more uncomfortable. She shouldn't have been involved."

Shen Zhiqiu didn't know what else to say, so he had no choice but to walk over and stretch out his arms to hug Fu Lie. At this time, he was an emperor at his weakest. He chose power but killed a woman. It was undoubtedly cruel, but look at it. Seeing Fu Lu like this, Shen Zhiqiu was not in the mood to blame him.The queen, like herself, knew that the palace was an abyss, but still chose to step in, just for her own heart.

Although he didn't know what his ending would be, at least for now, he didn't want to see Fu Yu sad.Shen Zhiqiu gently hugged Fu Yi, the ink fragrance on his body wrapped Fu Yi completely, Fu Yan stretched out his hand and pressed Shen Zhiqiu into his arms, put his cheek on Shen Zhiqiu's ear, greedily took a deep breath, smelling this With his reassuring breath, he closed his eyes, a tear slipped from the corner of his eyes, hidden in Shen Zhiqiu's hair, and disappeared.
