[Tess of the D'Urbervilles] Concubine Wan Gui counterattacks the doormat

On the ninth day of the first lunar month in the 23rd year of Chenghua, Renshou Palace.

In the center of the lobby covered with a big red Persian carpet, a group of court dancers with voluptuous figures danced to the sound of drums. As soon as their water-green sleeves were raised, they fell down one after another, forming a beautiful arc in the air.The lead dancer was a girl in light gold spinning. I saw her jade feet lightly weighed on the carpet, leaping in the air like a swallow, and quickly circling around with a bright smile. It was difficult but always beautiful. The dancing is very dazzling.The drumbeat stopped abruptly, and the girl twirled and fell lightly into the group of dancers. The emperor and empress dowager sitting in the hall bowed gracefully.

"For a hundred years, the heaven and the earth gather vitality, and the ancient country and the present are new. May my country and people be safe and peaceful, and the world will be peaceful!" Everyone knelt down and worshiped, and the concubines who were sitting and watching the dance also got up to follow and salute.

The Queen Mother Zhou, who had been looking down from high above, was very satisfied, stroked her hands lightly, and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, there will be many rewards!"

Zhu Jian, who had no intention of admiring the dance from the beginning, took a deep look at his mother and said, "Appreciate."

"Thank you, Majesty Long En! Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your grace!" Everyone knelt down to thank you again.

"vomit--"

There was a sudden sound of vomiting, and the smile on the Empress Dowager Zhou's face was immediately pulled down.

"What's going on?" She frowned, with a questioning tone.

Wearing a pink dress and a rabbit fur scarf, the delicate little imperial concubine knelt down in panic, "Report to the empress dowager, my concubine... vomit—" She couldn't finish her sentence, so she had to stop, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, But still couldn't hide the nausea.

Seeing this scene, the Empress Dowager Zhou's brows gradually opened, and the brows were dyed with joy again.She looked at her son on one side and couldn't help feeling a little excited.

"Your Majesty, could it be that she is happy?"

As soon as these words came out, except for the concubine who was still nauseated, the hearts of all the concubines present thumped.Zhu Jianshen's heart also moved, and his casual expression gradually changed, but it became a little dignified.

The nanny standing beside the Empress Dowager Zhou said at the right time: "When all things rejuvenate, Prince No.12 came into being. God bless me!"

The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled heartily, but seeing the concubine whose eyes burst into ecstasy was still pale and kneeling on the ground, she immediately glanced at the maid next to her displeasedly, "Why are you still standing there? Help up, if you are freezing the grandson of Ai's family, take care of your little lives!"

"Obey, empress dowager!" The maid of the little concubine immediately got up and helped her master up in a panic.

Zhu Jianshen sat on it, glanced at the shy but secretly proud woman down the hall, a feeling of exhaustion and sadness suddenly surged into his heart.

He will soon have another heir, but why is there no joy in his heart?What heavy price did he pay for these heirs?

Thinking of the woman's tone of resolutely waving him away and ordering the palace servants to close the gate of Zhaode Palace, it was half merciless!But why can't he let go of such a cruel woman?He remembered her pleading, her tears, her madness...everything about her whipped his heart day and night, so that whenever he thought of her, he couldn't help but feel unbearable heartache.

does it worth?During the eight years of not seeing each other, he always asked himself, is it worth it?Thinking of this, his heart felt sour and astringent as if soaked in vinegar.It had been eight years, and she really said that she would see each other if she didn't see each other, leaving him alone outside the door cruelly.No matter how many young and beautiful concubines have accompanied him over the years, no matter how he can get the ultimate joy in the young body, after calming down, his heart will become more and more empty and lonely, the only one who can fill the gap in his heart A woman, but she doesn't want him anymore, she doesn't want him anymore...

He stood up abruptly, took big strides and hurriedly walked out of the hall.

"Your Majesty..." The Empress Dowager Zhou whispered in surprise, but couldn't stop him from walking.

As long as the concubines around him saw his expression, they would all know it by heart.Your Majesty... remember the one from Zhaode Palace again?

The Empress Dowager Zhou shook her hand firmly, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "It's that bitch again! Why has her ghost lingered all this time, and she has confused my son to this point!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not good, the big thing is not good..."

Before Zhu Jianshen could walk out of the palace gate, the urgent voice of his confidant manager Liang Fang sounded outside the palace.

The Empress Dowager Zhou also heard it, and her face was very ugly.

"Liang Fang is so daring! How dare she make a loud noise in Ai's Renshou Palace, someone..."

"What happened?" Zhu Jianshen hurriedly asked before the Queen Mother could tell. Liang Fang had been responsible for reporting her affairs to him. It must be something serious happened to her that made him so cautious Chaos.

Liang Fang came running all the way, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. When he saw Zhu Jianshen, tears burst into tears, and he knelt down in front of him heavily, grief-stricken: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, she... Your Majesty is dead!"

As soon as the words came out, Renshou Palace fell silent.

Zhu Jianshen's ears were buzzing like five thunderclaps, "What... what did you say?"

Liang Fang tugged at the corner of his robe and wept bitterly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is sick..."

Zhu Jianshen suddenly fell straight down.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!..."

Renshou Palace immediately became a mess.

"Don't leave me, don't go out of the palace, okay, aunt, I want you to stay with me forever!" The woman who is here is with Jun'er..." The young Zhu Jianshen hesitated to speak, and finally, he closed his eyes and said, "I love you, aunt! I want to be your husband and let you live for me." Have children!" He opened his eyes, and begged with a blushing face, "Just accept me!" The woman opposite was shocked, her face full of disbelief, "Jun'er, you..." Zhu Jianshen covered his hands The one who fell in love with her was extremely firm: "Auntie, you can only be mine!"

He held her in his arms, and slid his hands down her white jade-like bare back, until they sank into the quilt. Before he could make a move, a slender white hand grasped his, powerlessly stopping her. "Jun'er, I'm tired." Hearing this, he stopped moving, just hugged her tightly, and sighed, "It's good that you are mine at last!" She looked into his eyes and said seriously: "Then Jun'er is only mine, okay?" He was very happy that she valued him so much, and agreed, "Okay!" She immediately raised her head and happily kissed his lips, "Jun'er, you promised Yes, you can't go back on your word!"

"Jun'er, don't go, don't go!" He was hugged tightly from behind by her, crying and begging, "Don't want another woman, just the two of us, you promised, you promised me! "His heart is also uncomfortable, but the fact that he has no children is like a sharp sword hanging over his head all the time, making him restless.He was ruthless, pulled her hand away forcefully, and ordered to the guard at the door sideways: "Tonight, your empress is not allowed to leave Zhaode Palace!" After he finished speaking, he dared not look at her. leave smoothly. "Jun'er!..." Behind her was her piercing call.This is the first time he has disobeyed her word.

He kicked open the door angrily, saw the woman lying lazily on the couch, and asked loudly, "Did you cause Concubine Bai's miscarriage?" Scared, aren't you, baby?" She slowly combed the thick hair of the white cat in her arms, and whispered softly, but it wasn't him.Seeing her become like this, his heart felt sore, and the anger he had had when he came suddenly disappeared.He sat beside her, hugged her gently, and said distressedly: "Don't pretend to be like this, this is not you." The woman in his arms moved, but in the end she still didn't break free from him.

"Kill him." "Who dares!" Hearing her conversation with Wang Zhi, he finally couldn't help it, and pushed open the door with a livid face: "Youtang is my crown prince, and will be the future emperor, Murdering him is like murdering me!" Wang Zhi immediately kowtowed to the ground in panic, but the woman still stood straight without raising her head, and said softly, "Go, kill him." He finally couldn't help it, and sternly She stopped and said: "Wanshi!" She still lowered her eyes, and asked calmly: "Do you want him or me?" His face suddenly turned ugly, "Wanshi! Just because you are pampered doesn't mean you can be proud of being pampered! "She was silent for a moment, and finally, she parted her lips lightly: "It seems that the emperor has made a choice." "What?" She raised her head, her eyes were as cold as ice, which made him shudder. "The concubine is arrogant because of her favor, and she has lost her virtue. Please close the palace and think about your mistakes, and I implore the emperor to give you permission." "You!" Zhu Jianshen held back his overwhelming anger, "Okay! Great! If this is the case, the noble concubine should think about it. Let's go!" After saying that, she waved her sleeves and turned around to leave, but her faint voice came from behind her again: "My concubine congratulates the emperor's beauty in her arms in advance, with hundreds of sons and grandsons." He gritted his teeth, "I will do as the imperial concubine wishes! "After that, he swaggered away.

If, if he had known that this was the last time he was allowed to step into her palace, if he had known that this was the last time he would see her, wouldn't he have been angry with her back then, would he have done everything as she wanted willing?His tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, slid down his temples, and dripped on the jade pillow, one drop, two drops, three drops...

"Zhen'er, Zhen'er, Zhen'er..." He closed his eyes, unwilling to wake up, but why did his heart still hurt so much even in his dream?Zhen'er, are you happy?Jun'er has been punished, Jun'er knows it's wrong, Zhen'er, you come back, come back soon, okay, Jun'er regrets it...
