empress and princess

In the Taishang Palace, the door of the palace was closed tightly, and a thousand people were kneeling outside the palace tremblingly.

Just one month after it was rumored that King Qin and Queen Mother Wei were separated from each other, things finally turned around. Now King Qin is kneeling at the head of the crowd, as if he would kneel until the end of the world without opening the door of the palace.

For half an hour, Qin Tangjing still felt that he could bear it, but by the second hour, his knees were completely numb, and he completely lost consciousness.However, he was still very respectful, straightened his back, knelt upright, and let the sweat drip from his chin to wet the ground.

"Your Majesty, you have been kneeling for two hours. What should you do if you are caught in the heat?" The maid in charge of the Supreme Palace also knelt in front of her and begged again, "Your Majesty dares to return to the palace first."

"No, when will the queen wake up and when will the lonely king get up?" Qin Wang was very stubborn, and he wanted to see the queen all his heart.

The maid in charge had no choice but to bow her head, "The Empress Dowager loves the King very much, and will not blame the King."

Qin Tangjing squinted his eyes, still staring at the two closed palace doors.

The sun was shining brightly in early spring, and the sun was not good. She was sweating profusely, and her cheeks were blushing.

Hard work pays off, maybe her filial piety moved the world. At the third hour, the door of the palace was finally opened, and the empress dowager's personal maid appeared in a hurry, "The empress dowager invites the king in."

The moment Qin Tangjing got up, he felt dizzy, and his legs were so weak that he almost fell to the ground on the spot.

"Your Majesty, be careful." The maid helped her in time to avoid embarrassment, but her walk was quite unsightly and she was limping. Qin Tangjing's numb legs entered the threshold of the Supreme Palace before returning to normal.

Going around the screen, she saw the thinly dressed Empress Dowager Wei sitting in front of the dressing table, as if she had really just woken up.

When Wei Si picked up the comb, Qin Tangjing had already walked behind and took the comb.Their mother and daughter never saw each other, so they didn't even have to salute, and just said in a low voice: "I come to greet my mother."

"My family is very safe."

"The queen mother didn't see her behind closed doors, and the son thought that the mother didn't want the son anymore."

"Nonsense, when will the Ai family not want you anymore." Wei Si immediately pretended to be angry and patted her hand.

It didn't hurt at all to pretend to be beaten, so Qin Tangjing laughed while combing her hair, "The queen mother still loves her children."

Wei Si's black hair was combed smoothly in her hands, and a gentle face was reflected in the bronze mirror, the charm was still there, but the smooth corners of the eyes were finally filled with fine lines.

"It's been a long time since we've been as close as we are now." Wei Si enjoyed her daughter's intimacy very much.

"My son is ashamed. I have neglected to care for my mother recently." Qin Tangjing raised his head and saw the fine lines at the corners of his mother's eyes, but his heart stopped suddenly.

Wei Si said softly, "The Ai family didn't mean to complain about you, so how can a mother care about her own child." At this moment, she looked deeply at the bronze mirror, and also at her daughter, "Jihuang, what mother made All of this is for you, for Daqin, can you understand?"

After all, they are connected by blood, and they can't give up no matter what. After losing their temper, they will be a family.Qin Tangjing crouched on her lap, "I know I was wrong, but I have my own opinions."

"It's a good thing to have your own opinion, but I'm afraid you will be slaughtered if you don't have one."

"My sons and ministers are not fainted, and they can discern loyalty from traitors."

"That's good. Only by being a wise king can you win the hearts of the people, and you can live up to the expectations of your queen mother and your little uncle. You took this position with great difficulty, but there are still many people behind you coveting the throne and eyeing the throne covetously." Mother has to worry about you." Wei Si looked down at her, raised her hand and gently stroked her daughter's hair without any suspicion.

Qin Tangjing closed his eyes, "Whoever dares to covet the throne of my son-in-law, I will kill them all." The words did not hide their coldness.From ancient times to the present, those who failed in plotting against the law cannot escape death.

Wei Si opened her lips slightly, and finally closed them again, only gently stroking her daughter's hair.

"If your little uncle...has covetousness, what should you do?" She asked after a while, her voice trembling.

"Impossible, little emperor uncle really wants to be king and has already become a king, so how can he let his servants." Without even thinking about it, Qin Tangjing's first reaction was that it was impossible, absolutely impossible.

"I was always disciplined by my mother when I was young, and the little emperor always protected me and never let me suffer any grievances."

"She treats you well, and she doesn't have that kind of intention, but her meritorious service is so high that she is not tolerated by the king." Wei Si had already collected her emotions at this time, and her voice calmed down, "Your little uncle won you because of his repeated military exploits back then. Your father is suspicious, and your father almost killed her in order to ascend the throne smoothly."

"But the little emperor uncle is also living a good life, longer than the father!"

Wei Si was speechless, just smiled and didn't continue talking about the past, of course she also knew the purpose of her daughter's coming here.

Because she was closed in the palace, the ministers facing her in the court insisted on her making up their minds, but they didn't dare to offend the current king of Qin, so they all pretended to be sick and stayed at home.

Ji Huang was also forced to do nothing, but she treated them with respect in terms of face, that is, they were not punished and sick leave was granted.

It's still the same sentence, how can a mother care about her child.

"Mother is just a woman in the harem after all, Daqin is still up to you, mother doesn't interfere much." Finally Wei Si let go, looked at her daughter who had ruled the world, and gave her the tip of the nose affectionately.

Half an hour later, the gate of the Supreme Palace was closed again.

Wei Si was dressed neatly and sat by the window, everything came back to life outside the window, the branches sprouted buds, and the green lake was clear.And she didn't care to watch it, and she didn't do anything, just playing with a phoenix embroidered sachet in her hand.

"Queen Mother, do you still approve the booklet I sent you?" The personal maid came at this moment with a tray.

"Send it to Changxing Palace. After the king approves it, I will show it to Ai's family."

"Yes."

"During this period of time, who is restless?" Wei Si asked.

"The mansions of the other lords are normal, except that Prince Qi's mansion is more lively, and several senior officials often come to the door, and get closer to the old prince. The king has no heirs under his knees, and he does not have a husband. It is hard to imagine that someone has other thoughts. "

That old prince has no power or power except for his surname Qin, he plays chess and walks around every day, his hands are clean and he doesn't participate in government affairs.In the past, he only lost his life when he made friends with Qin Jiufeng, and his only contribution to Qin was to give birth to a son, and his son Qin Mingyue was no small threat.

Just because his surname is Qin, the only male descendant of the Qin family.

The father is indifferent and the son is also a dude, Qin Mingyue has nothing to do all day long, just hang around romantic places, nothing to do.

"Send someone to King Qi's mansion to beat and beat, and avoid dealing with the courtiers." Wei Si rubbed the sachet and ordered.

"Yes." The maid bowed to accept the order.After hesitating for a while, he finally replied: "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty has been following Concubine Chu's shadow recently, and behaved intimately, as if... Your Majesty is really in love."

"Emotional?" Wei Si was taken aback.

"It's like a relationship between a man and a woman..." The maid was hard to say.

Wei Si was stunned for a long while, and all kinds of feelings made her turn her head to look out the window, thinking that there was a bad fate, a bad fate! "It's not time to move her, she is still useful to the king, let's keep her."

"Yes."

It is absolutely true that the King of Qin and the Concubine Chu are inseparable, but their intimacy is open to question, let alone their affection.

In the past half a year, the two of them still occupied half of the bed, shared the bed but behaved well, and never crossed the boundary. Whatever position they slept in last night, they still woke up in that position.

So early this morning, Qin Tangjing rubbed his sour waist and went to court, and when he was rubbing his waist and approving memorials in Shuyu Hall after the court, Han Wenxiu delivered a good news. inside!

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say." Han Wenxiu changed his excitement after the report, and said in a deep voice, "The king of Chu took advantage of the battle between the Wei State and the Nine Princes, and sent troops to capture ten cities in the Wei State."

Qin Tangjing raised his head when he heard the words, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "He took advantage of it."

Han Wenxiu clapped his fists, "Ten cities, it's really cheap for him."

"That guy is stupid, not proficient in tactics, and doesn't have the brains. I'm afraid there are ghosts in our palace." Qin Tangjing sneered, picked up her folding fan, got up and left Shuyu Palace, and strode towards Hanqing Palace. up.

When she arrived at Hanqing Palace, she saw no one, but the sound of the silk qin came to her ears.

Qin Tangjing couldn't help but pause, and saw a woman in white sitting in the lake pavilion in front of her, playing a melody with her ten fingers.

"It's nice, it's really nice." Waiting for the sound of the zither to fade away, she walked forward, and she applauded as she walked, "Concubine Chu is really leisurely, don't you just play the zither to congratulate the Chu Kingdom?"

Chu Huaimin waved his sleeves and closed his hands, and replied calmly: "Just play as you like."

"The lonely king was very happy listening to your song. It happened that there was a good news from the Chu country. Your emperor brother won the battle and captured ten cities in the Wei country. Is there any handwriting in this?"

After speaking, the person approached and sat down on the ground, facing Chu Huaimin face to eye.

Chu Huaimin blinked, and slowly showed that innocent expression in Qin Tangjing's eyes, "Your Majesty forgot, I am in Qin Palace."

"That's right, you almost forgot if you didn't mention the lonely king." Qin Tangjing suddenly realized at this moment, stretched out his fingertips to hook the strings, the corners of his lips were still playfully curved, but there was no heat in his eyes, "You It’s okay not to admit it.”

"How do you admit what you haven't done?"

"In that case, your brother is hiding his clumsiness or has opened his mind. Could it be that he is planning to unify the world with great ambitions?"

Chu Huaimin put his hand on the piano and looked straight into her eyes, "Your Majesty's vision shouldn't be so low, Chu has no shortage of civil servants and military generals, and there are also counselors, as long as you make good use of talents and accept good advice, nothing will happen. "

Qin Tang was stunned, moved his fingertips away, and the strings returned to their place and immediately made a rhythmless noise.

Sharp and piercing, almost piercing people's ears.

"Faithful words are hard to hear." Chu Huaimin asked slowly at the moment when the noise dissipated, "Is the king angry?"

Qin Tangjing snorted coldly.

There are few capable people in any country, no matter how stupid the king of Chu is, capable people will not just watch their country perish, and they may make suggestions for the king of Chu.

That's right, her vision is low, really low!

But Qin Tangjing would never believe that this matter was not written by Chu Huaimin.

"Hands are pretty good. The roots are exquisite and clear, and they are long and well-proportioned. No wonder they play the piano so well." When she saw the hand on the piano, she immediately praised it, and then pulled it up and looked at it in front of her eyes. Shall I cut it off for you?"

Chu Huaimin's eyes were like the moon, and he smiled at Bai Meisheng, really smiling like a peerless concubine, "Is the king willing?"

Qin Tangjing was used to seeing her as cold as ice, and when she suddenly saw Gu Panshenghui, her frown and smile were invisible and charming, she just looked at her and forgot to respond, and was stunned for no reason.

Feeling that Chu Huaimin wanted to withdraw her hand, she subconsciously pushed back, Chu Huaimin immediately fell into her arms, her waist was still tightly circled by Qin Tangjing, and Chu Huaimin also breathed in her ears: " You deserve the title of Demon Concubine."

Across a piano, the two are only close to each other with their upper body.

Chu Huaimin didn't even struggle, and leaned on Qin Tangjing's soft chest obediently, "If the subject is a demon concubine, would the king want to be that stupid king who loves beauties but not country?"

"It's not easy to be a wise ruler these days, and it's even harder to be a foolish ruler." He paused here, Qin Tangjing opened his lips and bit her earlobe, "First, I helped Song Rong recover, and then I helped your mother country take the ten cities of Wei, Concubine Chu has a good method."

Wrapped in the damp heat, Chu Huaimin's eyelids trembled immediately, and he tried his best to control his palm instinct.

It's not like this kind of intimacy has happened before, she thought it would end here like before, but Qin Jihuang didn't like it, and went ahead and kissed her ear, really kissed.

So Concubine Chu finally couldn't bear it anymore, she slapped her palm into the air but was resolved by Qin Jihuang, and she was also imprisoned.

"Do you still remember that King Gu said that he would give you a chance to leave Chu State completely?" The kiss continued, tasted and stopped, if there was nothing.Qin Tangjing did not force others to be difficult, and finally stopped when she was on her lips, exposing the opportunity to leave Chu, "The lonely king wants to make you the queen, and become the queen of my Great Qin, and live and die with the lonely king. In this way, Qin is also yours." home country."
