After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains
Chapter 613: I'd Rather Be a Peaceful Dog
When she was at home, she followed her mother to learn how to manage the household and handle household affairs, and handled various affairs on her behalf when her mother was sick.
He could also go hunting with his father and brothers in the enclosure. If he couldn't hunt any ferocious beasts, he could still hunt rabbits, pheasants and other animals.
After entering the palace, she became a waste.
It seems that the entire purpose of life is to have children.
When she found out that she had given birth to a princess instead of a prince, she breathed a sigh of relief, secretly took medicine, and refused to have another child.
In this way, she would not be drawn into the vortex of the fight for the throne.
The current emperor loves calligraphy and painting and is not familiar with government affairs. To put it nicely, he is an emperor whose words are golden. To put it bluntly, he does not even have the final say on who will be the crown prince.
The prince under his knees is bound to be caught up in a brutal struggle.
In this world, there is no struggle more life-and-death than the fight for the throne. The winner will not tolerate anyone and will definitely wipe out all the enemies.
Xie Shu’s power is so great that it seems that the position of crown prince can only belong to the fourth prince.
Concubine Jing, however, had a different opinion.
At present, the princes are still young, and various forces are operating in secret and have never surfaced.
When the day comes to appoint a crown prince, who knows what will happen?
But that’s all in the past.
Concubine Jing looked at everyone in the palace and thought sadly: After this catastrophe, I don’t know if anyone can survive, or how many can survive?
Her words obviously irritated the ladies.
Empress Xie was the first to speak out: "If you want to kill me, first ask the sword in my hand whether it agrees or not."
The aristocratic families and the military generals raised their daughters differently, and she had no foundation in martial arts.
But she had the courage to die together with the enemy.
The pride of the girl from an aristocratic family would not allow her to admit defeat and surrender.
She would rather die than not maintain her dignity as a queen.
With them taking the lead in expressing their opinions, the girls' eyes gradually showed a light of fearlessness in the face of death.
Even if they had not experienced troubled times, they knew from history books what a miserable end they would suffer if the rebels succeeded.
Now that you have the realization that "death is no big deal", other things become unimportant.
Eat when you should, drink when you should, and sleep when you should.
The Queen Mother prepared enough mattresses for everyone to sleep on the floor in the hall.
For fear that a fire might break out in the chaos, there was no floor heating in the hall. Fortunately, there were many people and the quilts were thick enough, so we didn't feel cold when we slept.
Gradually, the sky darkened.
From time to time, explosions could be heard from far away, and suddenly there would be a burst of noise, filling the hall with a tense atmosphere again.
What on earth is happening outside?
Will they attack the palace?
However, the imperial palace was originally a long distance away from the street, especially the Xining Palace.
After these sounds appeared, they quickly disappeared and gradually became calm.
Gradually, people got used to it and stopped thinking about it.
Nanny Zhou was in charge of bringing up the food from the kitchen. She also followed the Empress Dowager's order and sent several teams of palace maids wearing special insignia to deliver meals to the female soldiers guarding the palace.
We can’t let our own people collapse before the enemy attacks us.
Inside the Wende Hall, all the ministers sat in silence.
Like the Xining Palace, under the order of the Empress Dowager, food, drink and sleeping are provided, and the gate is guarded by blue-robed guards and female soldiers.
But the thoughts of these court officials are much more complicated than those of the women in the harem.
Some were thinking about risking their lives, some were thinking about when to surrender so that they could be put to good use by the King of Ruyang, and some were thinking about how to save their own lives...
With all these things happening, the atmosphere in the hall was depressing. How could they sleep peacefully?
The emperor didn't care about all that. He would not sit there staring at these people. He returned to the bedroom behind the Wende Hall, took a nap, and painted several paintings in one breath.
He looked not worried at all.
The eunuchs who served him were almost worried to death, and they didn't know why this gentleman could be so calm.
There was another loud muffled sound in the distance, shaking even the windows.
The eunuch was so frightened that he shuddered, his hand trembled, and the tea flowed out of the cup.
"Damn slave!"
He quickly knelt down and apologized, secretly blaming himself for being careless and making such a low-level mistake in front of the Emperor.
"What are you doing? You are so old, don't kneel down all the time. Get up quickly."
The emperor glanced at him, and even smiled, becoming more and more romantic: "Are you worried that the emperor's uncle will attack us?"
The eunuch stood up on his knees, smiled bitterly and whispered: "Your Majesty is really a kind man..."
Prince Ruyang even rebelled, yet he still called the other party his uncle.
If it were him, he would curse the emperor's uncle as much as he wanted to vent his anger.
But this gentleman has not uttered a single bad word since Prince Ruyang rebelled.
The emperor smiled, put down the brush in his hand, looked at him and said: "Everyone has his own destiny. It won't change if you don't want it to."
He thought about this quite clearly after he became emperor.
If we talk about it seriously, he just wanted to roam around the world and be a talented scholar who enjoyed poetry and wine in his prime, instead of being confined in the palace and being some kind of emperor.
No matter how big the palace is, it has its limits. He even counted the number of steps at the entrance of the Wende Hall and the number of kinds of flowers in the Imperial Garden. It was so boring.
"Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life? Now that things have come to this, there is no point in worrying or being nervous and frightened."
The emperor pointed upwards and said: "Everything is arranged by God. It is better to live this day as an ordinary day."
He lowered his eyes slightly: "If I am destined to die today, my time will not be wasted."
The emperor said it easily, but the eunuch was frightened half to death and he shuddered and dared not say a word.
How should one respond to this and how can one persuade others?
The emperor, however, showed an indifferent attitude. He lovingly touched a painting he had just completed and said to himself, "If I die, these paintings I made before my death may be passed down through the ages."
As he spoke more and more vaguely, the chief eunuch shuddered and bowed quickly, saying, "Your Majesty!"
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore."
The emperor ordered him: "Prepare hot water for me to bathe."
Even if he died, he would wear the clothes he was most satisfied with and set off cleanly.
When I went to the underworld to meet my father, I looked neat and tidy so it wasn't too embarrassing.
"Yes."
The chief eunuch agreed and went to prepare it without further ado.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night in the capital. Fires are seen from time to time, and cavalry are running around in the streets. It is hard to tell whether they are Prince Ruyang's men or the capital's guards.
The doors of every house were closed, praying to escape the war.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the fear of a large influx of enemy troops that we had when we first heard that the South Gate had been breached did not occur.
Ordinary people didn't know what exactly happened and could do nothing but pray.
I would rather be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.
The people whose houses were burned down and who died screaming, all had the same thought in their minds.
"Let's go! To the palace!"
"Your Majesty has made all the arrangements, and someone will pick us up."
The cavalry gradually gathered, and their goal was clear.
