The rebirth of the prince and his wife

Inside Fengluan Palace

The empress was reclining on the cool phoenix couch in a lavender dress, while a court lady held a fan to cool her. The empress held a teacup thoughtfully, and asked for a while, "How is Chengxuan Pavilion?"

"Returning to your mother, Chengxuan Pavilion is remote, and there were few people coming and going, especially now that King Wen is like this, and there is no one who visits the sick. Only Commander Gu of the Imperial Forest Army and Master Wen, Minister of the Household Department, have been there once, but it seems I heard that King Wenwen didn’t even see you.” The eunuch in charge of the hall bowed his body and continued: “Besides, Princess Wen never let the palace servants of Chengxuan Pavilion intervene in anything, but the slave heard that, Princess Wen is not having a good time recently."

"Oh? How do you say that?" The queen was in high spirits. King Wen is now blind, and her second prince has eliminated her greatest opponent. She is in a good mood these days, and the corners of her mouth can't help a smug and mocking smile: "Wen Wang Don't you always regard the princess as a treasure in your palm, how can his life be difficult?"

"This slave doesn't know. I just heard people saying that King Wen has always lost his temper with the princess these days and even drove her out."

"Hmph!" The queen sneered, "I think they are more affectionate than Jin Jian. It's no wonder that there are no filial sons before the bed for a long time, let alone them."

"Yes, what the empress said is true." The eunuch bowed his head in compliment.

The empress frowned, thought for a while, then put down the teacup with a smile, and said: "Since that's the case, don't let only this palace know about such good after-dinner gossip, and send someone to spread it. It’s good to know, and let the emperor know.”

"Yes, the slave will definitely handle it well."

The eunuch responded with salutes, the queen nodded, and after a while, she suddenly said: "The emperor has not been here for a long time, and recently he was either at Ding Zhaoyi's place or at Ligui Concubine's. The matter is uncomfortable, I haven't entered the harem for several days, and I don't know where I will go today."

"Probably it will be at Ding Zhaoyi's place," said the maid who was fanning the fan on the side, "I just heard that the emperor went to Ding Zhaoyi's place after lunch. I heard that Ding Zhaoyi was crying today. If the emperor wants to coax her, Will definitely stay with her tonight."

"Really?" The queen raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why is she crying?"

"This servant really doesn't know. The people around Ding Zhaoyi are tight-lipped, so they can't find out anything." The maid said: "It's just Ding Zhaoyi who was wronged by Concubine Li. Does the empress not know what Concubine Li is like?"

"She's honest now," the queen smiled with lowered eyebrows, and said for a while, "Since the emperor will be at Ding Zhaoyi's place tonight, you can go to the storeroom to get some good things for her."

"Yes."

The palace maid blessed her body and lowered her head to retreat when she heard the queen's faint reminder: "Remember to take advantage of the emperor's presence."

"Yes, the servant understands."

……

In other words, after Ding Zhaoyi came back from Chengxuan Pavilion, she sent someone to invite the emperor, but her confidant maid hurriedly stopped her, and said with some concern: "Mother, the emperor is in a bad mood now, and he hasn't come to the harem for several days. I'm afraid it's not good for the empress to invite you so hastily."

"What are you afraid of? Your majesty is suffering because of King Wen, but the heart of an emperor is different from that of ordinary people." Ding Zhaoyi helped the hairpin on his head and continued, "If the son of an ordinary person suffers such a catastrophe I'm afraid the father will be sad for the rest of his life, but it's a pity that he is the emperor, there are too many clouds and smoke in front of him, and he will forget it in two days, I have to do my best for him while the emperor has not forgotten."

Ding Zhaoyi's pink gauze skirt was blown up by the gentle breeze outside the window, and there was already a hint of autumn in the city of Chang'an.

After lunch, Emperor Desheng was reviewing the papers in Guangxian Palace.

When the feudal princes from all over the world learned that King Wen was blind, they handed over the papers and seals to ask King Wen to be well. Even the royal palace of Yunnan, which usually dislikes dealings with Chang’an, mentioned the matter of King Wen for the first time. It can be seen that they are all trying to test King Wen. Is it really blind? In the past, there was such a god of war as King Wen, even if there were some elite soldiers and generals, they would not dare to make mistakes.

In this way, Emperor Desheng couldn't help thinking that when the first emperor had just passed away, the vassal kings from all over the country deceived him to be the new emperor and enthroned, and they all stared at Chang'an. Emperor De Sheng was wounded and untrustworthy generals, and there were several princes who always wanted to usurp the throne.

At that time, the sixth prince, Chu Yu, who was only 17 years old, asked himself to lead troops to fight. At that time, he felt that Chu Yu could not beat King Jing'an at all, but at that time he couldn't rashly put the military power in the hands of outsiders, so he could only allow Chu Yu to fight. Emperor Desheng originally thought that if the prince went to battle, he would be able to cope for a while no matter how bad he was. Who knew that Chu Yu won the first battle, and he was invincible all the way until he reached the Jing'an Palace, took back the vassal land, and captured King Jing'an alive.

It was at that time that Emperor Desheng looked at a concubine who had never cared about him differently. When the class teacher returned to the court, Emperor Desheng directly named him a prince in order to reward him. He was the first prince among the princes, and at that time The most favored eldest prince has not been crowned king.

Later, Chuyu regained Xixia, pacified the northwest, and went to conquer the Xiongnu. The true power shocked the princes and became famous all over the world.

At that time, Chu Yu became the thorn in the eyes of the princes, and as the father, he began to fear his son.

Emperor Desheng put down the memorial from the Yunnan Palace, and sighed. At that time, he had only been on the throne for a short time. If he didn't have such a war god-like son at that time, the throne would have been extremely dangerous.

Just when Emperor Desheng was deep in thought, Lin Lu bowed in from the door and said after saluting: "Your Majesty, just now a servant said that Ding Zhaoyi from Yawenyuan went out and cried when he came back. The servant came to ask the emperor for instructions." , Shall I go and see Empress Zhaoyi?"

"She has a childish nature, so she will inevitably cry a little bit. I'm afraid she has suffered some kind of grievance." Emperor Desheng let out a sigh of relief, and Zhezi couldn't stand it anymore, so he got up and said, "Forget it, I'll go and have a look."

When Desheng Emperor Luan arrived at Yawenyuan, Ding Zhaoyi was sitting in the hall, peeling pomegranates. When he saw the emperor coming, he quickly knelt down and saluted: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Emperor De Sheng smiled, stretched out his hand to help her up, and looked at Ding Zhaoyi with a small white face, not dressed up, red eyes, and a very childish and pitiful look. He felt a little better, and teased with a smile: " What's the matter? Crying like a little rabbit, tell me, who bullied you?"

Holding the pomegranate in his hand, Ding Zhaoyi shook his head, lowered his head and said, "No one bullies my concubine."

"Then why are you crying?" De Shengdi sat in the first seat and looked at her teasingly.

Ding Zhaoyi put down the pomegranate in his hand, looked up at the emperor and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the concubine went to Chengxuan Pavilion today..."

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Desheng's face darkened, and he asked calmly for a while, "Why cry when you go to Chengxuan Pavilion?"

"Chengxuan Pavilion is deserted, and my concubine looks pitiful at the sight of Wenwang and his wife, and feels uncomfortable." As he spoke, Ding Zhaoyi was about to shed tears again, and continued with sobs: "The emperor didn't see it, and my concubine went there." At that time, King Wen was leaning on a wooden stick to explore the way, the princess was beside him supporting him, and there was no one to wait on him, don't mention how sad it is."

These words made De Shengdi sad for a while, sighed, reached out to wipe Ding Zhaoyi's tears, and said: "Don't cry, King Wen's eyes will be cured."

Ding Zhaoyi didn't speak, but shed tears blindly. It was rare for Emperor De Sheng to coax her patiently, and besides, the beautiful pear blossoms were raining, and he loved her even more.

In the evening of the second day, the sunset was like gold.

Emperor Desheng planned to go to Chengxuan Pavilion to see Chuyu, but he stopped when he reached the door. Lin Lu wanted to sing and the emperor arrived, but was stopped by Emperor Desheng, because King Wen and Princess Wen were enjoying the cool on the soft couch in the yard .

Both of them were wearing simple homely clothes. King Wen was resting on the princess's lap, with his eyes closed and a smile on the corner of his mouth. That kind of light and leisurely smile was never seen by his father, who gave birth to him and raised him. After that, Princess Wen was lowering her head to peel grapes, her slender and white fingers were very flexible, she peeled one and handed it to King Wen's mouth to feed him, then peeled another and stuffed it into her own mouth.

The quiet and peaceful look of this pair of young people reminded Emperor Desheng of the former emperor and the imperial concubine Hanqing. They were both enviable in the same love, just like today's sunset, which is half calm and distant, but like gold.

This is when Gu Youning peeled another grape and handed it to Chu Yu's mouth. Chu Yu shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat it, you can eat it yourself."

Gu Youning was taken aback for a moment, then said "Oh, put the grapes into his mouth directly, then grabbed Chu Yu's collar and wiped his hands, which made his smile deepen. Although he couldn't see it, he still grasped it accurately. The tricky little paw put it on the edge of his mouth and took a light bite.

Gu Youning let out a soft cry, and pushed him away with a smile. The two were about to play, when Gu Youning looked up and saw Emperor De Sheng at the door, he was stunned.

"Emperor... Your Majesty..." He stammered for a while, and quickly stretched out his hand to push the people around him: "Chu... No... Your Highness... Your Highness is here."

Saying that, he quickly got up and saluted: "My minister pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Chu Yu seemed to be in a trance for a while, staring blankly with empty and dim eyes, as if he was listening to the emperor's voice, and after a while he slowly got up and saluted: "My son is visiting the father, the son is disrespectful, I don't know the father is coming, but I still look at the father The emperor forgives the crime!"

"Get up," Emperor De Sheng said quickly, waiving their salute, and reached out to help Chu Yu up for the first time, and then said: "Look at you young couple playing well, I can't bear to come in and disturb you. Better?"

"Thank you, father, for your concern, my son is much better."

Chu Yu lowered his eyes halfway, and there was not much expression on his face.

"Chu Yu has suffered. I have already ordered the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate Lu An severely. I think there will be a result in two days."

Emperor Desheng said, but Gu Youning sneered in his heart. This matter is definitely related to the second prince and the third prince, and Lu An was just used by them. He didn't believe that the emperor couldn't see it. The instigator, then the emperor is also an accomplice.

Compared to Gu Youning's indignation and disdain, Chu Yu was much calmer. He had long since lost any warmth towards the father, and everything was just a perfunctory superficial appearance.
