Tanghua old story

Qi Tang stared at the letter sent from the palace, his knuckles were pale, and the words "The Empress is seriously ill" stood out in it.

In an instant, Qi Tang seemed to be in a cold mist, everything seemed to suddenly become blurred, and the laughter of the banquet seemed to come from the bottom of the water, ethereal and unreal.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Wei Yuchen's voice seemed to come from thousands of miles away, and Qi Tang shifted his blank eyes to Wei Yuchen.

Wei Yuchen easily pulled the letter out of Qi Tang's weak hands, glanced at it, and hurried to Lu Tong's side to discuss in a low voice.

That night, Wei Yuchen and Qi Tang boarded the carriage back to Beijing.

It was early spring when Wei Weichen and Qi Tang left the capital, but it was midsummer when they returned to the capital again. The beautiful and swaying lotus flowers in the imperial garden could not stop Qi Tang from hurriedly rushing to the Queen's Yulang Hall.

"Yu Yi, Yu Yi." Qi Tang softly called the queen's boudoir name.

The emaciated queen lying on the embroidered blanket opened her eyes slightly, and whispered, "What are you doing back here..."

"I heard you were ill."

"What's all the fuss about, you don't know that the days when I'm not sick are actually fewer than the days when I'm sick." The queen said weakly.

Qi Tang stared at his wife's pale face and sobbed, but the queen ignored her and just closed her eyes gently.

In the next two months, Qi Tang handed over all the government affairs to Wei Weichen, and just stayed in Yulang Hall to accompany the queen every day.Qi Tang personally tasted the hotness of the Queen's decoction and fed it to the Queen one by one. Whenever the Queen opened her eyes, she could always see Qi Tang. Qi Tang held an amnesty to pray for the Queen...

However, no matter how much Qi Tang did, the queen's life was still like an autumn leaf, gradually withering and withering.The queen's waking time was less and less, and she was always in a deep sleep.On a day approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the queen suddenly woke up and taught Qi Tang to help herself up, and dressed herself up carefully. Qi Tang gently painted her eyebrows and lips.

"Come here," the queen said softly, "come closer."

Qi Tang sat next to the queen and gently embraced her in his arms.Then, Qi Tang heard a wonderful and ethereal singing voice, and it took a long time before Qi Tang realized that it was the queen singing in a low voice.

Qi Tang had heard of the Queen's Shange a long time ago, but now it was the first time he heard it, but it was also the last time.After singing, the queen's face was covered with tears.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fifth year of Xuanyuan, Qi Tang will never be reunited again.

Before leaving, the queen held Qi Tang's hand and smiled slightly, just like when they first met, which became the most difficult trace to be etched on the tip of Qi Tang's heart.

In the 20th year of Zhaoqi, Qi Tang saw his wife Feng Yuyi for the first time.

The first meeting of the two was naturally at the wedding night in the bridal chamber.After dealing with the guests, Qi Tang walked into the new house with a little melancholy, while the bride in the phoenix and the rosy crown was already sleeping in her clothes.

Qi Tang tiptoed, and gently lifted off the bride's red hijab. Her skin was fair and crystal clear, her lips were thin, the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, her eyebrows were slender, and the center of her brows seemed to be frowning. She had a slender and delicate nose, deep eye sockets, and a pair of beautiful eyes. Slowly opened, the corners of the eyes were slightly raised, the eyelids were slightly thin, and the candlelight reflected in the sleepy eyes.

Qi Tang smiled to show his friendliness, and the bride also smiled slightly.

Qi Tang's marriage was arranged by Emperor Zhaoqi.

At that time, Qi Tang was the second prince, and he was canonized as the King of Chu An, and there was an older brother named Qi Tong who was established as the crown prince.

One day the old emperor summoned Qi Tang into the palace and said: "Now that you are old, it's time to think about marriage.

Qi Tang didn't know what his father meant, so he kept silent.

"Prime Minister Feng was born in a common people's family, Zhongju served as an official in the previous court for many years, I have admired his talent and made friends with him since I was young, and he has also made a lot of contributions to the court. A few days ago when I chatted with me, I mentioned Now that I am old and have only one daughter under my knees, I can't rest assured, after thinking about it, I plan to make Prime Minister Feng's daughter Princess Chu'an, how about it?"

Qi Tang curled his lips, reluctantly said: "Since Father and Emperor have already made plans, I have no choice but to do so.

Emperor Zhaoqi said with a smile: "Among my sons, I like you the most. I'm used to you daring to play petty temper in front of me."

Qi Tang blinked and smiled.

"Tang'er, I know that you have no intention of power..." Emperor Zhaoqi sighed, "You can just treat it as it is for your own sake..."

Soon, the old emperor announced Qi Tang's marriage, and at the same time announced the marriage of the prince Qi Tong. The old emperor married Lu Wenfeng, the daughter of the general Lu Tong, to the prince Qi Tong.

Qi Tang naturally understood what his father meant. General Lu Tong came from a famous family and made military achievements many times. The family is sparsely populated. The daughter of Prime Minister Feng promised Qi Tang. On the one hand, it was a wish of a good friend. On the other hand, it also weakened Qi Tang's power. After all, there have been rumors that Qi Tang will replace the prince Qi Tong for a long time. However, Emperor Zhaoqi took great pains to secure Qi Tong's crown prince status.

Emperor Zhaoqi did not expect, nor did Qi Tang, that in this politically motivated marriage, Qi Tang happened to meet the right person.It is said that the emperor has always disliked the queen, but Qi Tang is different. He is fascinated by Yu Yi. As for why, he can't tell the reason himself. Maybe he saw her for the first time on the wedding night. Yu Yi, when she smiled slightly from that flower candle, Qi Tang fell into it hopelessly.

Yu Yi doesn't like to laugh usually, Qi Tang puts all his effort into it, and does some ridiculous behaviors from time to time.

Once Qi Tang accidentally found out that Yu Yi likes cats, so Qi Tang begged his father-in-law Renjin to find more than 20 kittens and train them himself.Two months later, the great cause of cat training has achieved a small success, and Qi Tang excitedly led more than 20 cats of various shapes and sizes to Yuyi's Yulang Palace, smiling for Yu Yi, the empress.But Yu Yi was not overly surprised, she just picked a few cats and drove away the rest together with Qi Tang.

The cat training incident did not cause much disturbance, but the other incident was really absurd.

One night, the sky was dry and the Yulang Palace was on fire. When Yu Yi was rescued from the fire, seeing Qi Tang's ridiculous look of being at a loss, she couldn't help smiling. Qi Tang captured this hard-won charming smile and looked at the fire. Caressing Yu Yi's disheveled hair, smiled and sighed softly: "The red makeup is reflected by the flames of the alluring city, and you can see the jade in your eyes."

Qi Tang's teacher when he was young, and now the white-haired old master heard about what happened that night, and when he heard Qi Tang's nondescript poem, he almost died of anger, calling it absurd, and pretending to be the same as when he was teaching. First, he gave Qi Tang a scolding, and then earnestly taught that governing the country is the way to go, and advised Qi Tang to be less entangled in his children's personal affairs, but Qi Tang was obedient and dared not speak out.

Qi Tang is almost absurdly infatuated with Yu Yi, but Yu Yi has always been quite indifferent to Qi Tang.Qi Tang had heard that Yu Yi was good at singing a long time ago. It was said that when Yu Yi sang, every bird in the palace would harmonize with her.Qi Tang begged Yu Yi many times, but Yu Yi was unwilling to sing to Qi Tang. Qi Tang asked Yu Yi why, under Qi Tang's relentless questioning, Yu Yi said: "Let me sing to you today, You don't know which one to look for tomorrow."

After hearing this, Qi Tang hurriedly said that Yu Yi was the only one in his heart, but Yu Yi didn't believe it, and said, "Who doesn't know that the emperor's family has no sincerity."

"It's true, it's true," Qi Tang said hastily again, "I treat you sincerely!"

"Even if you are sincere, who knows if you will change your mind that day."

"No, no! If I change my mind, I will be punished..."

Before Qi Tang finished speaking, his mouth was covered by Yu Yi's soft hand.

Yu Yi said softly: "Why make such a poisonous oath..."

Qi Tang kept his promise, Yu Yi was the only one in the harem for many years.

In the spring of the fifth year of Xuanyuan, Qi Tang went to Yulang Palace to visit Queen Yuyi.

"What's going on this year?" Qi Tang asked with concern, "Why hasn't your health improved since the beginning of spring this year?"

"I heard that you are going to expedition to the country of Yan?" Yu Yi asked with downcast eyes.

"Ah."

"I'll be fine when you come back."

Queen Yuyi failed to keep her promise.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Xuanyuan, facing the departure of the queen, Qi Tang did not show too much sadness, as if Yu Yi had just gone on a long trip, everything returned to normal soon, only Wei Weichen felt that something was wrong, he knew that Qi Tang Behind the calm face is endless sadness.

Qi Tang invited Wei Yuchen to the palace to have a meal together as in the past, and Qi Tang was different from the past, with one cup after another of wine in his hand.Wei Weichen was speechless, just drinking one cup after another with Qi Tang.

"Wei Qing," Qi Tang stopped Wei Weichen's glass, which was about to be drunk, "Wei Qing, don't drink, I know you are not in good health."

Wei Weichen obediently put down his wine glass, while Qi Tang continued drinking one after another.

The moonlight gurgled and flowed under the feet of Wei Yuchen and Qi Tang, Qi Tang's eyes were dim with drunkenness.

"Where's the wine?" Qi Tang poured out the last drop of wine in the altar, "Ren Jin, bring me some more wine."

Wei Weichen said gently: "Your Majesty let him rest a long time ago, remember?"

"is it?"

"Ah."

Qi Tang stared at Wei Xichen in a trance, and murmured: "Yu Yi."

"Your Majesty, it's me."

Qi Tang threw himself into Wei Yuchen's arms, hugged him tightly, and called out, "Yu Yi, Yu Yi!"

"Your Majesty has admitted the wrong person."

Qi Tang didn't let go, but let out a suppressed whimper.Wei Weichen sighed, put his arms around Qi Tang gently, patted Qi Tang's back tenderly, and comforted him softly: "Okay, Your Majesty, it's okay..."

After a long time, Qi Tang's sobbing gradually subsided, and he broke free from Wei Weichen's embrace.

Seeing the tear stains on Qi Tang's face, Wei Weichen took out a handkerchief and wiped it gently. Qi Tang remained motionless for a long time, and said, "So it's Wei Qing."

Wei Weichen smiled and said, "I know."

"Wei Qing..." Qi Tang sighed, "Why don't you persuade me to mourn and change, and state affairs are the most important things?"

"To others, Your Majesty is Your Majesty, but to me, Your Majesty is Qi Tang."

Wei Weichen stretched out his slender hands to gently cover Qi Tang's, and lowered his eyes and whispered: "Your Majesty once told me that when you don't know how to comfort a sad person, you should hold his hand, so that you can comfort your own. Send your mind to him."

"Does Your Majesty understand what I mean?"
