The hookup of the scumbag

Shang Gong opened the classical yellow paper door with dark flowers. Zhou Xiao stood in the middle of the door and walked in slowly.At this moment, the chatter and laughter in the room stopped abruptly. Zhou Xiao stood still in front of the old woman wearing a red palace dress Hanbok sitting in front of the room, lowered her head, slightly bent her waist and said respectfully: "The concubine pays homage to the empress dowager." Then she bowed slightly to another woman in purple hanbok on the left: "The concubine has met the empress dowager."

The woman nodded slightly.

The old woman showed a kind smile: "The queen is here, please sit down."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhou Xiao sat cross-legged in front of the small table on the right side of the Empress Dowager, facing Huizheng Palace.

Zhou Xiao showed a dignified smile, looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "Why was your empress so happy before, and what happy event are you talking about?"

The Empress Dowager held up the teacup, took a sip, put it down, and smiled again: "Aijia and Huizheng Palace are discussing the birthday party of Maharaja Yicheng. I heard that Maharaja invited many friends of the same age to the Royal Hot Spring Hotel. The prince and his wife are also invited to attend, it must be very lively."

Zhou Xiao lowered her eyes and said, "Madam, my concubine is terrified. I don't know about the Maharaja's birthday. It's really my concubine's fault that I didn't prepare the birthday celebration for Maharaja in advance."

Huizheng Gong looked at Zhou Xiao with a smile, and said, "The empress does not need to blame herself, the days of Maharaja Yicheng's return to the country are still short, not to mention the troubles in the palace these days, it is inevitable for the empress to be a little negligent."

The Empress Dowager pretended not to understand the open and secret struggle between them, "What Huizheng Palace said is true. Speaking of which, it is already the 21st century, and the young prince and the others don't like the elders interfering too much, so let them play by themselves. "

Zhou Xiao bowed her head: "Yes, ma'am."

The Empress Dowager looked at them, nodded, and showed a nostalgic smile: "Speaking of which, the prince has grown up unknowingly. He married a concubine a while ago, and the Maharaja of Huizheng Palace has also returned. The whole court has not been so lively for a long time. As long as the Ai family thinks that soon, the children of the prince and the maharaja will be born one after another, adding more children to our royal family, I feel very relieved."

Both Zhou Xiao and Hui Zhenggong bowed their heads and smiled.

"By the way, queen, the prince is almost eighteen."

"Yes, ma'am." Zhou Xiao replied.

The empress dowager rolled her eyes, and then she showed a childish mischievous smile: "The prince is almost an adult, so the ceremony of sharing the prison with the concubine should also be on the agenda, empress."

Zhou Xiao showed a troubled look: "My lady... the prince and concubine's disposition is still immature, this kind of thing... we should wait another year..."

"Queen, first get married and then start a career. Only when the crown prince has his own family can he grow up quickly, be able to take on the leading role, and relieve His Majesty's worries as soon as possible. Huizheng Palace, do you think Aijia is right?"

Huizheng Gong glanced at Zhou Xiao calmly, and smiled at the Empress Dowager's back: "Your Majesty is right."

"Yes, ma'am." Zhou Xiao could only bow his head and agree.

When leaving, Huizheng Gong, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and Zhou Xiao, who was following her, was also forced to stop.

Huizheng Gong turned around, "The empress seems very worried."

Before Zhou Xiao could speak, Huizheng Gong said again: "That's right, the prince has had some bad things happen in recent days, the people began to express their dissatisfaction with the prince, and even the clan association held a meeting to debate whether the prince should be replaced or not. Candidates are necessary. The Queen must be very anxious, right?" As she spoke, she slowly approached Zhou Xiao's ear and whispered, "It looks like the Fair Game you suggested is about to start."

Zhou Xiao looked at her with a steady tone: "As you said, we will never be on the same starting point. As long as His Majesty is still in power, the prince will always be the prince."

Hui Zhenggong smiled sarcastically, "Really?" She looked at Zhou Xiao with sympathy, "Then, let me wait and see." After speaking, she turned and left.

Li Shanggong looked at the queen worriedly, and called softly: "Your Majesty..."

Zhou Xiao's expression didn't change, and only waited until Huizhenggong's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor before moving again, and Li Shanggong hurriedly followed.

In the middle of the night, the originally brightly lit palace had dimmed at some point, and the courtiers no longer stayed outside the palace. The gendarmerie patrolled every passage from time to time. The usually solemn palace was even more quiet at this time, only the The crickets were serenading, adding to the silence of the palace at night.

bedroom, bed.

Li Xuan woke up suddenly, opened his eyes wide, and found that he was still in the bedroom he was familiar with. With bitterness in his heart, he slowly reached out to find his glasses, and after putting them on, he gradually saw everything around him clearly.

"Why is this dream so real?" He muttered to himself, recalling the scene where he just kissed the emperor's sister-in-law Huizheng Palace in his dream. Compared with the situation between them at this time, he felt even more desolate in this long night.

He sat up with a dazed look on his face: "Are the memories of youth unforgettable no matter how hard you try? Life is so helpless that it forces people to have nowhere to escape. The love that I thought was fading away has always been hidden in my heart." , I really don’t know what to do.” He sighed, let out some sullen breath, lowered his head, and was surprised to find that the queen was not sleeping beside him at this time.

He put on his slippers, and slowly walked out of the bedroom, and saw that the door of the study was not fully closed, and the light came through the crack of the open door.Li Xuan walked to the door of the study room, pushed it lightly, and saw the queen who was wearing a long coat and sitting in front of the table, with a thick photo album on her lap.

The queen heard the sound and turned her head to see him, but she didn't stand up rigidly to salute as usual. She glanced at him, then lowered her head and continued to look through the photo album in her hand.

Li Xuan didn't mind, but was surprised by the rare disrespect of the always respectful queen.He came behind the queen, put his hands on her shoulders, looked at her hair and asked softly, "Why hasn't the queen gone to bed yet?"

The queen said nothing, but slowly flipped through the photo album. Li Xuan took a closer look and found that the queen was looking at some photos of herself when she was young. In comparison, although the years have not left too many traces on his queen, but But it is obvious that she no longer has the youthful vigor she once had.Now, although she is graceful, luxurious and beautiful, she is like an exquisite doll in the window, her manner is rigid, her breath is dull and weak, and she looks lonely and sad.

Clever as Li Xuan, he immediately realized the meaning behind the queen's unusual behavior tonight.His hand slipped from her shoulder, and he called softly: "Queen..."

The empress seemed not to have heard his call, and turned another page unhurriedly. Li Xuan had no choice but to whisper, "I'm going back to bed first, empress, come back after you finish reading."

He glanced at the still unresponsive queen, turned around and left the study.

This night, the Queen never returned to the bedroom, Li Xuan lay on the bed with his eyes open and sleepless all night.Why didn't he know that the queen was silently protesting his injustice to her, but when he saw the expectant eyes of his sister-in-law, he couldn't bear to hurt their mother and child again, so he was caught between them in a dilemma, asking him how to choose ?

Morning came soon, and when Li Xuan woke up, he found that the Queen had already finished dressing in front of the mirror.Hearing his footsteps, she stood up, bowed slightly to salute him, he nodded, the two looked at each other but said nothing.

"you……"

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines will take their leave first." The queen's tone was cold, and before he could speak, she turned around and left. Li Xuan's head hurt, and there was a brief moment of darkness in front of his eyes. He blinked hard, and then he returned to normal.

When he looked at the door again, the queen had long since disappeared.

There was an unspeakable sense of loss in Li Xuan's heart. In the past, whenever he felt a little uncomfortable, the empress would be the most nervous, wishing to suffer for him. Now... well, she is still angry.

Sitting in the comfortable pavilion, the Empress Dowager laughed and talked with the emperor and prince around her from time to time, her eyes full of joy.

"Majesty, how was your birthday trip yesterday?" The Empress Dowager asked Li Lu, and all eyes in the pavilion turned to him for a moment.

"Hmm." Maharaja Yicheng was different from usual, and his words were concise and to the point.

The empress dowager suddenly realized, and said: "Look at our majesty, he is so reticent today, is it because he is shy?" Everyone responded to the empress dowager's ridicule, and they all smiled slightly.

Shen Caijing looked at Li Lu, and quickly lowered her eyelids.Li Xin who was next to her had been paying attention to her, and couldn't help feeling sad when he saw this, and then there were waves of dryness in his heart.

"Empress, why do you look so ugly today?" The Empress Dowager asked a little worriedly after noticing the empress who had been silent since the beginning.

Hearing this, Li Xuan turned around and saw that the queen's face was indeed a little pale, her eyes were a little black, and even the delicate makeup couldn't hide her haggardness.

Zhou Xiao lowered her eyes, "The concubine is panicking, maybe it's caused by poor sleep last night, I think it's not a serious problem."

Huizheng Gong was ridiculed in his heart, and took the opportunity to put eye drops on the prince in front of the empress dowager and Li Xuan: "It seems that the queen is always worried recently, prince, you should take good care of your mother and empress."

At this time Li Xuan also thought of the reason why the empress was angry with him, in the end it was because of this unworthy son, and he couldn't help feeling even more disappointed with the prince in his heart.

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Li Xin was also very worried about his mother's physical condition, and did not refute Huizheng Palace's insinuation.

Zhou Xiao gave a pale smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the prince naturally cares about me."

The empress dowager felt distressed when she saw her beloved grandson being secretly attacked, but since Hui Zhenggong was also her favorite daughter-in-law, she couldn't take sides, so she said softly: "I'm tired of mourning, and today's morning tea party That's the end of it, let's all back down."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Yes, Grandma Huang."

Everyone stood up and was about to leave one after another, but the Queen's body suddenly swayed and she fell down towards Maharaja Yicheng who was opposite her.Everyone didn't react for a while, but they saw that Maharaja Yicheng had hugged the queen and embraced her softly in his arms.Seeing this situation, everyone was dumbfounded.

The prince was the first to react at this moment. Seeing his mother being hugged intimately by his cousin, he was angry and annoyed. He wanted to push Li Lu and snatch his mother back. He never expected that he always likes to pretend to be weak and sympathetic. His cousin suddenly glanced at him, the coldness and majesty in his eyes stunned him!

Huizheng Gong was also sober, she didn't care about maintaining her gentle image, and said angrily: "Master Yicheng, what kind of dignity are you doing!"

The empress dowager is the most sensible among the adults, she immediately sorted out the priorities of the matter, and hurriedly ordered Shang Gong next to her: "Hurry up, summon the imperial physician, and quickly diagnose the queen!"

This sentence seemed to turn on a play button, and everyone was in a hurry, and the people in the pavilion suddenly became a mess.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Li Xuan had to have a headache. He rubbed his temples and ordered: "Stop!" I will go back to Gyeongbokgung Palace to rest after accompanying my mother." He paused, knowing that he was incapable of picking up the queen in such a physical condition, so he said softly to Li Lu: "Please let the queen go, the queen has her own responsibility." The prince will do his best."

As soon as these words came out, everyone obviously felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped rapidly. Before they could find out what happened, they saw that the Queen had faintly woke up, and asked weakly, "What's wrong with my concubine?"

Lin Mo: Continue to be in the air-conditioning...

Zhou Xiao hurriedly begged for mercy: Please have mercy.
