The empress is so enchanting

In the second year of Azusa 130, the fourth emperor Yukimura succeeded to the throne.The new emperor has been on the throne for seven years. Although he is still young, he is diligent in government and loves the people. He has a unique method.

Therefore, Zi Liao became more and more prosperous under his governance.Within a few years, Zi Liao's richness was comparable to that of Mo Lian and Ji Bing.

All the subjects in the court were willing to submit to this natural king.

But this perfect king also had imperfections.It is also because of it that many subjects have suspicions about Xingcun, and there are also various rumors about Xingcun in Azusa Liao.

What's more, all kinds of rumors and gossips were compiled into books and spread continuously in the busy streets of the people.

There is no other reason, only because Yukimura has been on the throne for seven years.He did not set up a queen shortly after ascending the throne like the previous emperors.And in his harem, apart from the necessary female officials, there are no other women.

Therefore, there are gossip, gossip, and unintentional people rumors and compilations, saying that the reason why Xingcun did not establish a queen and accept concubines is because he likes Longyang rather than female sex.

Furthermore, his appearance is even worse than that of a woman.Many men who have seen him all think that he is a disaster, even Yang Fei and Fei Yan are not as soft and enchanting as him.

Therefore, many people firmly believe that Xingcun likes Longyang.And he often said when the ministers advised the concubine, "Don't you think that there is no woman in this world who can match my beauty? If so, how can a woman touch my heart?"

The ministers were speechless, so they had to take the trouble to persuade Yukimura, so that he, who was revered as a holy king, would not be left behind by future generations and history books, and slandered by fools.

At the beginning of spring, everything recovered, and the elders and ministers in the court mentioned the matter of accepting concubines again.

"Your majesty, although you are young and romantic, you have a lot of time, but you are a son of heaven. You can't have no successors. As the saying goes, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and it is the greatest thing to have no descendants. Wouldn't you be the son of heaven to risk the world?" See Yukimura just pursed his lips and smiled, but the old prime minister had no choice but to move out the great truth in order to threaten Yukimura with all the people in the world.

Ruoruo, the person sitting in the hall today is someone else.Perhaps, these words can also move him.

But the current master of Azusa Liao is named Xingcun, so these words can only have the opposite effect.Not only will he not be moved by it, but he will fight it back.

"Since the prime minister just said that I am young, then I don't have to worry about having no successors. Or, among the lovers, there are people who don't agree with me, and feel that this country can't always be surrounded by me." The arc of the corners of his lips deepened, Yukimura Smiling instead of angry, the soft and gentle tone compared with the coldness in his eyes made everyone who heard him shudder.

There is an old saying that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.But among Zi Liao's courtiers, they would rather offend the villain than Xingcun.

Xing Cun's calm but sharp words made a cold sweat, all the ministers and the old prime minister didn't dare to say any more.

However, there are exceptions.For example, General Shura who has never known the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth - Chiya Kirihara.

Although he was often tortured miserably because of his words against Yukimura.But it seems that he didn't remember much, so, in the extremely awkward atmosphere of the court, he was the only one who felt willful.

"Your majesty, if you didn't prefer Longyang as the rumors said, why didn't you listen to the prime minister's words and set up the empress and accept the concubine? It's normal for the ministers to be suspicious." I didn't hear Yukimura at all. What he said contained a threatening meaning, and Kirihara spoke out without fear of death.

And it was his strong presence that made the already heavy atmosphere even more heavy, even the little eunuch who was accompanying Yukimura felt that the air above the hall was a bit suffocating.

The corners of his lips froze indistinctly, and Yukimura's smile became softer and more enchanting, which also made the ministers below break into a cold sweat with fright.

They all began to regret mentioning the concubine to Yukimura, and they were also afraid of letting Kirihara participate in such extremely risky discussions.

"What Kirihara Aiqing said is very true. As the lord of a country, it is my fault that I fell into the trap of others and caused my people to fantasize about me. However, the affairs of the harem are not within the scope of General Kirihara. Inside, even if it is here, it is my private matter. Before I say anything, Aiqing believes in the rumors of the outside world. Kirihara Aiqing, are you guilty?" With the emphasis on the last sentence, Yukimura's smile became a little bit Got mad.

And Kirihara was reminded by General Marui that he realized that he was about to die.

"My subject, my subject is guilty." Knowing Yukimura's usual style of conduct, although he is a benevolent emperor, his methods are not as gentle as those of Shi Huangdi, so Kirihara also broke into a cold sweat with everyone.

However, it seems that it is too late to admit mistakes.

"Since this is the case, as a general, Aiqing must set an example. Aiqing is my important minister, so I will punish Aiqing to run around the palace ten times." She made a heartbroken look, and Kirihara's legs softened at Yukimura's words one time.

Although Kirihara was very dissatisfied, but under the pull of his senior Marui, he left the court and went to receive the punishment.

With Kirihara as a standout, the rest of the ministers, no matter their status or official position, dare not say anything else.

Even the birds outside the court seemed to be influenced by the ministers and did not dare to make any noise.I'm afraid that Yukimura, the king with the face of a fairy, will tear his corpse into thousands of pieces.

After a long silence, Yukimura broke the silence first.

"Since all my lovers are concerned about my life-long affairs, I have no reason to ignore your painstaking efforts. If this is the case, then do as the prime minister said, and hold a concubine selection ceremony after one month. Sanada, you What do you think?" Resuming his original smile, Yukimura stared sharply at the ministers below.

Sanada, who was named, didn't dare to say anything, and nodded to express his compliance with Yukimura.

"However, my requirements are not that low. If I can't choose a woman I like, then no matter which daughter of my lover, I will be sent out of the palace. Maybe, the fate of some young ladies will be different What?" When he said the last sentence, Yukimura seemed to be talking to himself.

Although his tone is very light, like a feather.But the people below still heard what he meant, so naturally they didn't dare to hope for the absurd idea of ​​a woman becoming a phoenix.

There are even some who don't want their daughters to enter the palace and become Yukimura's concubine.Because, even if the life in the harem is not so complicated and dangerous, it is not so lucky to be with a king like Yukimura for a long time.

Among those who think this way, there is Isao Ryuzaki, a minister.

A few days later, Zi Liao posted up and down the imperial concubine list.And many families who meet the conditions have begun to prepare everything for their daughters to choose concubines.

As for the selection of Ryuzaki Prefecture, it is naturally Ryuzaki Sakura who is the only daughter of Lord Shang Shu's only daughter, who is fifteen years old.

After hearing that he will enter the palace as a candidate for Emperor Ziliao's concubine.Not only was she not overjoyed and sad like many women, she also didn't say anything about the choice of concubine.He only slightly hooked the corners of his lips, obediently complying with his parents' wishes.

She naturally didn't want to enter the palace to be a concubine or queen, but when she thought that the king's order was hard to break, if she did something willful for a while, her parents and grandma might be implicated, and she began to feel uneasy.

Compared with the safety of her family, she, who has always been considerate and kind, is naturally willing to sacrifice her own happiness.

Therefore, she just kept silent and didn't dare to say anything.I'm afraid that her parents and grandma will end up ruining their family because of her unintentional words.

The night before entering the palace, Sakura did not go to bed early as usual.Instead, he sat on a stone bench in the garden, frowning at the moon.

During the day, because she has to take into account the feelings of her family, she always carefully conceals herself so that her sad emotions will not affect them.

But at night, when she was alone, she frowned and sighed, as if her mind was not on the beautiful scenery of the full moon.

Perhaps, the mood is low, no matter what kind of scenery it is, I am afraid it will be very disappointing to the eyes.

"It's so late, haven't you fallen asleep yet, Sakura?" Just as Sakura was staring at the slightly cool moonlight, a soft voice rang in her ears.

Ying Nao's figure paused, then she turned her head and looked at the elegant young man in a plain gown standing not far away.

The boy's name is Fuji Shusuke, he is the young cousin of Ryuzaki Prefecture and Sakurano's cousin.Although he is only 17 years old this year, his talents and morals are not inferior to any predecessors and sages.

In addition, Ying Nao and he grew up together, so the relationship between their brother and sister is like blood relatives, and everyone who has seen it nods.

And a few years ago, the old lady of Ryuzaki Prefecture, Ryuzaki Sumire, saw that the two were so close, and she also had the intention of making Sakura a perfect match.

But even if they are a happy couple, it is a pity that the sky is not beautiful, the two of them may only have the fate of brother and sister in this life.

A few months ago, Fuji, who had been running a medicinal material business in another country, finally returned to Longzaki Prefecture, but he didn't want to experience the joys and sorrows of parting and reunion before being with his beloved sister for a long time.Looking at my own green plum, stepping into the fire pit but there is no way.

"Brother Buer?" A little puzzled why Buer didn't fall asleep so late, a trace of doubt appeared in Ying Nao's almond eyes.

But I also guessed a few points in my heart.

As smart as he is, he will naturally guess the little thoughts in her heart.Besides, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

"You have something on your mind, right?" Before he could say too much, Fuji pierced Sakurano's mind.

Hearing Fuji's straightforward question, Sakura's body froze unnaturally, and the smile that was originally hanging on the corner of her mouth overflowed with bitterness.

She always thought that she was pretending so well that no one would see what she was really thinking.It's a pity that she is still inexperienced and cannot hide her emotions perfectly like the man in front of her.

"Yeah." Nodding reluctantly, Sakura confirmed her best guess.As smart as he is, no matter how much she denies it, he will guess her mind.

Besides, he is her closest person and the only elder brother she can confide in.How can I hide the depression in my heart from him?

"Is it because of the choice of concubine? You don't want to enter the palace, right?" Sitting beside Ying Nao, Bu Er looked at the depressed and depressed Ying Nao lovingly.

Although he didn't say any comforting words, Sakura could still feel his concern for her.I can also understand that he actually doesn't want to enter the palace by himself.

In fact, both of them have thought that if they didn't find someone who could be engraved in their eyes when they were young, they would treat each other as everything and make a promise to them for the rest of their lives.

Even though, there may not be a passionate love between them.But the brother-sister friendship they have accumulated over the years is enough for them to spend their whole lives.What's more, in the ancient books, respecting each other as guests is nothing more than that.

"I really don't want to enter the palace. But the king's life is difficult, for the sake of my father and grandma, I have to enter the palace." There was a deep helplessness in her eyes, Ying Nai looked at the moonlight and her eyes were full of confusion.

It has been like this since ancient times, the orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, and free love are mostly just beautiful fantasies.

"Isn't it a very good thing to enter the palace? Since ancient times, many women have tried their best to enter the palace. Don't you think that the current emperor will not be the person you love?" Although I know that Ying Nao is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune. Women, but as cousins, even though they have the same heart, they still can't say certain things clearly.

Besides, he also wanted to know what kind of man she would love.In the end, what kind of man is he who can give Sakurano the freedom and happiness he wants.

"If you enter the palace, if you are blessed, you will naturally be able to flourish and shine. But no matter how beautiful and extravagant the palace is, it is just a gorgeous birdcage. As for the current emperor, he is naturally benevolent and virtuous, and he is loved by the people. I also believe him He will be an excellent man. However, he is destined not to be able to devote all his feelings to a woman. Naturally, an ordinary person like me will not be favored by him." Ying Nao's view of love is actually very simple. I don't ask the person I love to love her like her, but if that person is destined to be burdened by thousands of worlds, then no matter how much she loves, she will never be with her for her own selfishness.

Besides, this time as her future husband

The candidate is the son of heaven, but she is just a grain of sand in the sea, so how could she be favored by him?

The two of them might not even have the chance to meet each other.

"Yakura, you don't have to be pessimistic. Everything depends on fate, maybe you have the fate of husband and wife." Looking at Yingnao so simple and indifferent, I can't help but worry about Yingnao's life after entering the palace.

The harem is no better than Longzaki Mansion, there are plenty of scheming people there.Everyone is plotting and framing others in order to reach the sky in one step.

No matter which dynasty is in the annals of history, there will always be people who died tragically in these power wars.And women have been the sacrifices of these wars since ancient times, and there are countless beauties who died innocently.

Sakura is so simple, how can she survive in the complicated harem.I'm afraid it's really dangerous for her to be alone.

"What did Brother Bu Er say? Naturally, I don't dare to think about things like being favored by the emperor. The only thing I hope for is to leave the palace as soon as possible and serve my parents and elderly grandma at home." Shaking her head, Sakura felt a little helpless at Fuji's words.

She has no desire to look forward to such things as a happy marriage and a beautiful family.All she wanted was to go home as soon as possible and continue her ordinary life.

As for the person you hit, just let nature take its course and see fate.

"Sakura, don't worry. No matter how long it takes, I will always be by your side." Stretching out his hand, Fuji gently embraced Sakura in his arms, and then spoke softly.

Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, as her elder brother, he is willing to walk with her.Until she finds someone who can make her truly laugh.

He thought, maybe Yukimura would be such a person.Hopefully, everything will be as he expected.
