His Majesty once married me

After supper, Zhu Bian and others left the palace with their respective tasks.

Just as he was walking out of the palace gate, Zhu Bian quietly approached Gao Ming and asked in a low voice: "Governor Gao, you have been with His Majesty the longest, and you should be very familiar with the emperor's wife in the Summer Palace." Bar?"

"What exactly do you want to ask, just tell me!" The last person Gao Ming didn't want to talk about was Ouyang, but Zhu Bian was also a difficult hobbit, and he would never give up his curiosity just because of his silence.

"What kind of character is he?" Zhu Bian raised his eyebrows and asked.

Gao Ming pondered for a while, then said: "Let's put it this way, if you feel tired of working one day, you might as well try to provoke him."

"...Your Majesty loves him so much?" Zhu Bian was speechless for a while.

"This has nothing to do with His Majesty's favor." Gao Ming sighed, "No matter what others say, in my opinion, that one has never lived on the favor of any Majesty."

"Which Your Majesty..." Zhu Bian couldn't help but get weird.

Gao Ming didn't want to say any more about this matter, and cupped his hands towards Zhu Bian, "If you really want to know about that person, you might as well find some old people in Beijing and ask them about the name 'Ou San'. Whether it's a local ruffian or an ordinary person, they can clear up Zhu Shangshu's doubts."

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming quickened his pace, leaving Zhu Bian behind.

——It’s like hiding from the plague god.

Zhu Bian touched his nose, becoming more and more curious about the legendary imperial husband.

At this time, Qi Yunheng also left the Qiankun Palace, took the Jianyu, and went to the Fengqi Palace of the Queen Wang.

Although Qingtong had been asked to tell the queen about Qi Yuxi, but there were still some things that Qi Yunheng had to come over and talk to Queen Wang in person.

After all, no matter from which point of view, it is impossible for Ouyang to manage the harem for him, and this position will eventually fall to the queen.Even if the objective conditions are limited, many things in the harem cannot be handed over to Queen Wang, but it is time to try her ability and position with some trivial matters that are not so important.

Because Qi Yunheng sent someone to inform him that he was coming to Fengqi Palace in advance, even though it was late, the lights in Fengqi Palace were still brightly lit, and no one fell asleep.

Empress Wang has already led people to wait in the courtyard, personally took Qi Yunheng off the shoulders and welcomed him into the main hall.

"Has Yuxi fallen asleep?" Seeing that Queen Wang did not bring Qi Yuxi with her, Qi Yunheng asked casually.

"After using the wound medicine, the concubine asked Aunt Qingtong to take her to a room in the side hall to rest." Queen Wang replied, "That child is really... oh... I don't know how Mrs. Sun can do it! No matter what, it is also her own flesh and blood!"

While speaking, Queen Wang secretly glanced at Qi Yunheng.

Although today's incident will inevitably be blamed on the Sun family and even the Queen Mother, from Queen Wang's point of view, Qi Yunheng's disregard for the child is the root of the disaster.In the few days since she entered the palace, she has never heard of any prince Qi Yunheng summoned, nor has she ever heard of any concubine's palace that Qi Yunheng has visited.All the talented scholars outside the palace are eagerly waiting to be teachers for the princes, such as her grandfather and uncle in her family, but judging from the observation of the queen these days, Qi Yunheng may have long forgotten the matter of enlightening the prince. .That is to say, the mothers and concubines of the princes are very capable, and they taught their children to read and write early on, so they didn't let them waste their time.

Queen Wang could also slander in her heart, but Qi Yunheng never thought that this matter would be related to herself.His anger mainly came from Sun's deception again—and it was another successful deception. As for Qi Yuxi's being abused, it could at best add fuel to the fire.

"From now on, Yuxi will be taken care of by you. The previous nuns and maids are no longer available, so you can allocate some people from your own palace to her. After a year, I will transfer some from other places." Palace people, make up the number of people that Fengqi Palace should have." Qi Yunheng urged.

"The concubine understands." Queen Wang bowed in response, and then said, "Yuxi's identity has changed, so should her name also..."

The Qi family's population has always been small, and the ancestors didn't bother much when compiling the genealogy, and they didn't neglect the girls in the family like other families. Boys and girls of the same generation all share the same name, but the rest of the name is different.Boys like Qi Yuxi's generation take the word "rain" from the word "[-] dots of water", while girls take the word "yu" from the word "rain".

Therefore, after Qi Yuxi changed from male to female, the name had to be changed.

"It's not in a hurry." Qi Yunheng waved his hand, "Yu Xi is still raised according to the prince's standards, and I will make changes after I have arranged everything properly."

"The concubine obeys the order." Queen Wang immediately stopped talking.

"Before the official decree is issued, please be careful with your words and deeds, and don't reveal Yuxi's situation - even if the queen mother asks, the queen only needs to tell Yuxi that Yuxi was abused by her biological mother. "Qi Yunheng urged again.

Queen Wang immediately realized that Qi Yunheng had follow-up plans, and the position of the queen mother in Qi Yunheng's heart was also clearly revealed, but growing up in the palace, she knew the truth that silence is golden, so she didn't say much because of it. , just bowed and promised again.

Qi Yunheng didn't say anything more, what should be said has been said, and the next step is to look at the performance of Queen Wang.

Just as he was about to leave just like that, Qi Yunheng suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Qi Yuche in person yet.Although it is impossible to abuse a five-year-old girl like Sun's with Queen Wang's family education and disposition, but he arranged the person, so he always has to go over and take a look to confirm.

"Go and see Yuxi." Qi Yunheng immediately said, "Go quietly, don't disturb her."

"No." Queen Wang obediently responded, and led Qi Yunheng to the West Side Hall.

Sure enough, Qi Yuxi was already lying down, Qingtong and two nuns were guarding her room, when they saw Qi Yunheng approaching, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

Qi Yunheng waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet, and left the queen and queen there, walked to Qi Yunheng's bed alone, lifted the heavy curtain that covered it, and revealed the villain inside.

Qi Yuxi lay there very peacefully, with no abnormalities visible on his face, neither the cold sweat of the nightmare nor the whispering, the clothes on his body had been changed into softer and more comfortable plain crepe satin, and only a layer of cloth was covered on the outside. A thin layer of plain quilt.

Of course, the floor heating in Fengqi Palace has been on fire for a long time, and the room is as warm as spring, even if the clothes are thin, it will not catch cold.

"Have you ever been noisy?" Qi Yunheng asked.

"No." Qingtong bowed and replied, and then added a little hesitantly, "Your Highness... a little too quiet."

- Quiet is not necessarily a bad thing.

Qi Yunheng didn't respond, but he remembered the moment when he was married to Ouyang by Emperor Xinghe.

At that time, the capital did not know that his biological father, Duke Wei, had died in battle, and many people stood up to ask Emperor Xinghe to take back this decree, which was worse than a joke.But as the death of Wei Guogong was made public, those who spoke disappeared, and even the biological mother Yun who was most opposed to the marriage shut her mouth, angrily but quietly prepared a dowry for him.

From the beginning to the end, neither the courtiers who once opposed the matter nor his own biological mother asked him about his attitude towards this matter. On the contrary, Emperor Xinghe who issued the order quietly called him at the last moment of the wedding. Go to the palace and ask him if he wants to refuse the marriage.

Of course, Emperor Xinghe didn't really think about him, just like this marriage, but it was all out of planning for power and interests.If he chose to refuse at that time, Emperor Xinghe would definitely propose conditions to settle the marriage for him-for example, he would come forward to deal with those old loyalists who failed to die with Duke Wei, so that Emperor Xinghe could go smoothly Take over the military power left by Duke Wei.

But at that time, he was almost heartbroken, and being able to tie the knot with the person he had admired for a long time became the last consolation. He immediately rejected Emperor Xinghe without thinking, and finally turned the marriage into a reality.

But seeing the dawn again was on the night of the wedding.

Ouyang did not consummate the house with him, and said to him nonchalantly: "There is nothing to be depressed about. The emperor can only stop you from marrying a wife, but can't stop you from taking concubines. Naturally, you can have as many children as you want. Misty Pavilion The girls here are even better than the emperor's harem, if you want a woman, you can look for it at any time, and I won't really treat you as a woman, shutting you in the backyard and not letting you go out."

Although Ouyang's words turned Qi Yunheng's tenderness into green smoke, it also gave him the desire to regain his strength.

Later, with Ouyang's acquiescence and assistance, Qi Yunheng got in touch with Duke Wei's old ministry, and finally made a decision to take over the army left by Duke Wei and join the "Rebel Army".

Perhaps, his youngest daughter was also aware of her lonely situation, so she kept silent to avoid humiliating herself.

Qi Yunheng sighed quietly, and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some movement under Qi Yuxi's eyelids.

Qi Yunheng looked at it carefully for a while, and quickly raised the corners of his mouth, "Since you are awake, open your eyes, and if you keep pretending, I will think that you are resentful and don't want to see me."

Qi Yunheng's words surprised Wang Huanghou and others behind him, and Qingtong's knees were even bent a little, as if he was considering kneeling down to apologize.But Qi Yuxi on the bed still "pretended" for a while before slowly opening his eyes, and staring at Qi Yunheng for a while, then pushed away the plain quilt on his body, sat up slowly, Curling up his calves, he knelt down on the bed and bowed to Qi Yunheng in a serious manner.

——If you are really a prince, you can train him well.

Seeing Xiao Yuxi bowing to him in a steady manner without being overbearing, Qi Yunheng suddenly felt a little regretful.

But this feeling was fleeting, Qi Yunheng quickly entered the state of his father, and said in a deep voice: "Although you are young, you are not a fool. You should be very clear about how your injuries came from. .”

Qi Yuxi pursed her lips and nodded her head.

"But what did your mother and concubine Sun do?" Qi Yunheng asked.

Qi Yuxi lowered his eyelids and nodded again.

On the other side, Queen Wang immediately covered her mouth. On the one hand, she was surprised that the abuse was actually done by her biological mother, and on the other hand, she was surprised by Qi Yuxi's calmness and even indifference.

This child has no intention of pleading for mercy for his biological mother at all!

Regarding this, Qi Yunheng nodded very satisfied, "Since this is the case, you should also know what kind of punishment Mrs. Sun should be punished for doing this—she is your biological mother, and I will not take her life, but the death penalty Unavoidable, living crime is inevitable. I have pushed her into the Qiuwu Court, and you don't have to see her again until you reach adulthood."
