After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.
Chapter 489 Let’s stay for now
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Liang Shengrui strode towards the Yongshou Palace without any hesitation. The palace maids inside and outside the palace fell to their knees. They waited until the emperor had gone far before slowly getting up.
With the support of her personal nanny, the queen stood in the main hall waiting for the emperor. When the emperor approached, she leaned down slightly.
"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"
"Queen, please forgive me!"
"It's rare for the queen and I to have dinner together, so we don't need so many people to serve us. Everyone, please go down!"
As the emperor spoke, he gently winked at Eunuch Li behind him. Eunuch Li immediately bowed and took a few steps back, while beckoning the other servants of Yongshou Palace to go down.
Aunt Shi was originally supporting the Queen, but she was a little hesitant when she saw this situation. Finally, she saw that apart from the Emperor and the Queen, she was the only servant left in the palace.
"Aunt Shi is an old member of the Chen family. Please stay here today to bear witness!"
Liang Shengrui's words made Granny Shi, who had already bowed and retreated, suddenly freeze!
"Yes!"
Emperor Liang and the empress sat across from each other at the dining table. The carefully cooked dinner on the table did not arouse the two of them in the slightest.
"You were the one who saved me on the banks of the Weishui River!"
For the first time, Liang Shengrui used "I" as his self-identity when chatting with the queen. With one sentence, the queen, Xiao Chen, fell into the memories of many years ago.
"When the emperor came to ask for marriage, was it really because of the grace of saving his life?"
The queen pondered for a long time before speaking, but what she said was not an answer to the emperor's question.
The emperor and empress asked each other a question, and then they fell silent again!
yes! When Liang Shengrui asked to marry the direct daughter of the Chen family, was it really just for the favor of the Weishui River?
After a long time, Xiao Chen suddenly sighed quietly, and she didn't want to hold it in her heart anymore even if she had this rare opportunity.
"I have been beautiful since I was a child. My parents have high expectations for me. They often say in private that I will definitely marry a prince in the future, even if I enter the palace and become a concubine!"
"That year... I was only twelve years old. The Queen of Zhou held a flower viewing party on the banks of the Weishui River. A young lady accidentally fell into the water and was saved by a nobleman who happened to be passing by!"
"I remember that on the way back home that day, my mother kept yelling at that young lady. I still remember her expression and words at that time!"
Little Chen never knew that her mother, who had always been elegant and dignified, could say such ugly and insulting words.
Mrs. Chen knew the sister who fell into the water. She was a very gentle and kind beautiful sister. She had taken good care of the little girls like them at the previous banquet.
[Sister Xin, you didn’t fall into the water on purpose! She didn't want to seduce the prince! 】
It's a pity that Xiao Chen only dared to say this in her heart, because she knew that if she said it, she would definitely be punished.
"Later I heard that the young lady who fell into the water did not want to become a concubine in a nobleman's house, so she hanged herself in her embroidery building!"
Liang Shengrui patiently listened to Mr. Chen talk about old things, and he was also aware of this matter.
"Back then, the King of Wu and the King of Qi were fighting for the support of Taifu Lian. It's only normal for someone to plot against Taifu Lian's only daughter!"
"Knowing that you are at the center of the struggle, you still don't take precautions for your daughter. Even the master is being praised to the point of being confused!"
"Really, a little tutor can mediate between two princes? What a joke!"
Little Chen frowned as she listened to Emperor Liang telling a different version of the same thing, a version she had never known!
Liang Shengrui and Xiao Chen have been married for many years, and they have never sat down and chatted calmly like this. This is the first time and I think it will be the last time.
"It turns out that Sister Xin is just a pawn in the struggle for imperial power. I also think that Sister Xin is different from me after all!"
After saying that, Xiao Chen smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"After that, I was very careful every time I attended a banquet. I didn't go to crowded places, places with water, or places with rockeries!"
"A few years later, I met you at a banquet by the Weishui River! I didn't want to save you, but I couldn't let those servants see a man break into my boudoir!"
Liang Shengrui tilted his head and seemed to be recalling the first time he met Mr. Chen.
But Liang Shengrui found that he could only remember what happened back then, but he couldn't remember the appearance and expression of Xiao Chen at all.
"When you came to ask for marriage, I blamed my sister! Ever since I was a child, I have always done this when I made mistakes!"
When Xiao Chen said this, her tone was calm and without a trace of guilt. It was not as sad as when she just mentioned that the daughter of the Grand Tutor had hanged herself.
"Not long after you and your sister got married, the world is in chaos!"
"When my parents took me to Huizhou to join my sister, I realized that you were already the leader of the rebel army!"
"I took the initiative to tell my mother about rescuing you back then. I just wanted to tell her that you and I were supposed to be husband and wife!"
Liang Shengrui looked coldly at Little Chen opposite him. Little Chen looked a little ugly and a little crazy.
But Xiao Chen's eyes were clear, and Liang Shengrui could clearly tell Xiao Chen's true state!
"You have been married for fifteen years. I probably can't remember whether you really saved me back then. But whether you were so happy with me that you tried every means to marry me, I can still tell!"
Liang Shengrui has been acting with Xiao Chen for fifteen years. It is rare to be able to be so patient and watch Xiao Chen's one-man show today.
"In one month, I will abdicate and become my supreme emperor, and you will naturally become your empress dowager!"
"I have thought about how to...place you so that the prince can feel more at ease after he succeeds to the throne!"
"Hong'er is still young and has not been raised by your side since he was a child. He is very close to Jingchen."
"If you are here, the two brothers will always have quarrels with each other, but if you are not there, the two brothers will be completely separated!"
"Ms. Chen, I took advantage of you back then, and you took advantage of me! We all feel sorry for her!"
"I'm not here today to take your life! You have to live, live honestly!"
"When I die, you can be buried together! Let's make amends to her together!"
Liang Shengrui finished what he wanted to say. At that time, Xiao Chen's flowering period was delayed due to the war, and she did not get married even when she was over 20 years old.
In order to marry her brother-in-law, she did not hesitate to spread rumors about being infatuated and waiting. Everyone knew that the queen was deeply in love with the emperor.
Since she was so affectionate, it was reasonable for the queen to die for her love when Emperor Liang died.
Xiao Chen, who was so crazy today, was already determined to die, but now he suddenly heard that he didn't have to die for the time being.
Liang Shengrui ignored the stunned queen, stood up and walked a few steps outside the hall, then suddenly turned to look at Xiao Chen.
"You will be your queen mother honestly, and I will ask Crown Princess Yang to choose a good wife for Hong'er. I am in good health. Maybe I can see the birth of Hong'er's eldest son!"
Emperor Liang strode out of Yongshou Palace. Aunt Shi stood behind the queen with her head lowered from beginning to end, already covered in cold sweat.
The Queen turned her head to look outside the palace and sighed slowly for a long time.
"It's my Hong'er who temporarily saved my life!"
