The Four Concubines

Palace Rumors!On the day of the empress's wedding, the emperor somehow offended the empress and slept on the couch in the palace on the night of the wedding.

There are rumors in the palace!The feelings of the empress are very different!The emperor rested for his wedding, but he slept in the Golden Dragon Hall by himself for three consecutive days.

……

With a helpless expression, Yun Xiao listened to the trembling servant kneeling on the ground reporting these "secrets in the palace". Are people in this age already gossiping like this?

With a wave of his hand, Yun Xiao signaled the servant to step down, and the servant retreated as if he had been pardoned.All kinds of books and notebooks are piled up in a mess on the desk, and every open page has Yun Xiao's annotations in English.

What she wanted to do, she never thought of hiding it, Yun Xiao knew it well, she couldn't hide it, the palace is full of other people's eyes, it's better to let them see it openly, anyway they can't see it Understand.

"Your majesty can be a good emperor, why is he willing to spend his days like this?"

The words of the eldest grandson Wugou were still lingering in her ears, Yun Xiao frowned, piled up the booklets, and threw them on the table. She just wanted to save her life and live another life. She is satisfied if she has the opportunity to see the lonely smoke in the desert or the scenery of the South China Sea.

For the matter of being an emperor, Yun Xiao has never thought about being an emperor seriously from the beginning to the end. She seems to be casual, but if she is serious about doing something, she will devote [-]% of it and strive to do her best.

And now this mess, it's hard to maintain the status quo, let alone turn the situation around, how much effort will be wasted...

"Click!" The door of Zichen Palace was suddenly pushed open, and at the same time, the voice of the servant who was embarrassed came in.

"Empress, you can't just go in like this, at least let the little one inform you..."

"The Queen Mother..."

The eldest grandson Wugou, dressed in casual clothes, came straight towards Yunxiao aggressively.

On the night of the wedding, after Yun Xiao finished speaking, the eldest grandson Wugou remained silent for a long time, so Yun Xiao pulled out the quilt and went to sleep on the couch.

In the next three days, the two of them haven't seen each other. Yun Xiao didn't go to see her knowingly, and the eldest grandson Wugou didn't take the initiative to come to her. an invisible line.

And this line was stepped on first by Changsun Wugou today.

The servant chased the eldest grandson Wugou in, looked at the queen who was "going to fight", and looked at Yun Xiao in embarrassment.

The eyes of Yun Xiao and Changsun Wugou met for a moment, then turned to the waiter again, "Go down and close the door." The waiter stepped back quickly after hearing this.

There were only two people left in the room, Yun Xiao was still a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.

The eldest grandson Wugou just stared at Yun Xiao, his burning gaze seemed to stare Yun Xiao out of a hole.

"what happened?"

Yun Xiao couldn't bear the "pressure" of Changsun Wugou, so he opened his mouth first.

When Changsun Wugou heard Yun Xiao's voice, the aura around him stopped, and he no longer felt so oppressive, "Change clothes and come out with me."

The tone is flat, without anger.

Yun Xiao pouted, got up and went to the side hall to change clothes.Never thought that being scolded by the empress would lose face as an emperor, Yun Xiao didn't care much about it.

The eldest grandson Wugou stared at Yunxiao's back, and the aura that he had been carrying suddenly dissipated. She never expected that the emperor had no temper at all. When she came, she was prepared to face tit for tat. When she was the most angry, she used aggressive methods to force her to go out with herself.

Unexpectedly, her previous plans were redundant, and the emperor was very talkative.

When Yun Xiao came back, it was Changsun Wugou's turn to be dazed. Yun Xiao was still wearing the same clothes she wore from her house last time.

The two sat in a low-key carriage and drove out slowly through the side door.

There was still an awkward silence in the carriage on the way, Yun Xiao stared at a place in the carriage distracted, not knowing what he was thinking, while Changsun Wugou looked at her from time to time.

She was wondering if Yun Xiao was so "obediently" obedient just now, because she held her handle, worried that if she didn't listen to her, her real identity would be exposed, but the eldest grandson Wugou looked at Yun Xiao After a long time, I found that she didn't show any worries.

Just simply wandering off.

The eldest grandson Wugou withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and stared at his hands lying flat on his lap, and his mind began to wander away.

It's impossible not to be surprised.

After listening to Yun Xiao's four words, she even felt that her heartbeat stopped for an instant.

It was probably the kind of mood at that time.

It was also because of this that she watched Yun Xiao sleep on the outer couch with the quilt in her arms, knowing that there would be rumors coming from the palace tomorrow, but she didn't make a sound to stop it.

And she couldn't sleep well, as long as the wedding candles burned that night, she stared at the candlelight for as long as possible.

In the past three days, she has also thought carefully and reflected a lot. She is the daughter of the eldest grandson's family. The two elder brothers above can protect her for the first half of her life, but the second half of her life is not her own after all.

From the moment Yun Xiao ascended the throne, she knew that she would enter the palace as a concubine. Everyone said that the current emperor was just a political puppet, and it was false to say that she had no heart to die, but so what?She can't change anything.Until she happened to meet the "puppet emperor" in Yingchun Tower in person.

After several exchanges, Changsun Wugou found that the young emperor was not as useless as rumored, and even surprised her, especially in the last meeting before the big wedding, Yun Xiao's words made Changsun Wugou's heart feel like the one that day. Same weather.

Push aside the dark clouds and see the blue sky.

Everything is fine, except that the emperor is a little bit unwilling to do anything.

She wanted to motivate Yun Xiao that night, but to her surprise, she just saw Qing Tian, ​​but was suddenly told that she was a woman.

The current emperor is a woman.

Then what is she?

The carriage drove smoothly on the road, with occasional bumps but not very serious.

After a long time, the rattling of horseshoes stopped, Yun Xiao came back to his senses, and when he turned his head, he saw his eldest grandson Wugou was also looking at him. He no longer had the imposing manner in the palace just now, but was just like the previous "Sun Jing".

The eldest grandson Wugou opened the curtain and got out of the car first, Yun Xiao followed, and just as his feet were firmly planted, there was a breeze in his face, mixed with the fragrance of grass.

"Come, come here." Changsun Wugou looked back with gentle eyes.

Yun Xiao walked to Changsun Wugou's side, without her continuing to guide her, she was shocked by the scenery in front of her.

The two of them were stepping on the halfway of a hill. The mountain was not high, and the mountainside seemed to have been stretched, protruding a part. Standing here, they could see half of the capital, and Yun Xiao looked down carefully. The capital of the country is like looking at a real picture of going up the river during the Qingming Festival.

The eldest grandson Wugou was very satisfied with Yun Xiao's surprised expression, he looked in the direction of the capital, and his voice sounded far away, "This is the capital of Great Qin, counting those in the imperial city, there are a total of more than 70 people living in this capital. There are thirteen cities with the size of Daqin, and there are countless smaller cities and villages."

"You are the leader of them all, and their lives are in your hands."

When Yun Xiao heard Changsun Wugou's words, her hands and feet were cold, and her face turned pale.

Changsun Wugou looked at Yun Xiao's pale lips, his eyes flickered, but he didn't stop.

"The imperial power is weak, you think it's hard to do something, so you just don't do anything!" Changsun Wugou said sharply, pointing his finger at the capital below, "Look at your capital, it's only a wall away from the imperial city where you live. Some nasty and embarrassing things happen every day, and you can obviously change everything, but what about you? Shrunk in your cage, thinking that turning a blind eye to these things doesn't exist?"

"You can obviously prevent these things from happening, but your inaction is to help the evildoers in a different direction!"

"You are the emperor! The emperor who was supposed to rule the world and benefit the people! But you chose not to do anything because you are a woman!"

"Whoever said that women are no worse than men, who said that what men can do, women can also do."

"You speak righteously, but what you say is just some beautiful words, Yun Xiao, is this you?"

"Cough... ah..." Yun Xiao clutched the front of her left chest, panting heavily, her face was pale as if it had been patted upwards, and a row of big beans oozes out from her forehead beads of sweat.

Every sentence of Changsun Wugou was like a knife, piercing her heart, starting from the first sentence, stabbing at her one knife at a time.

She felt that her eldest grandson Wugou needed to be free, so she dragged her into the water under the banner of thinking about her, in the name of killing three birds with one stone, and promised her freedom; reminding herself that she is a modern person, and she sees more ancient things Yes, let nature take its course and time will slowly transform this land. She is just a sudden passer-by, so there is no need to do too much or go too far.

Changsun Wugou's knives dug out her self-righteousness and self-comfort bit by bit from her deeply hidden selfish thoughts.

This feeling of being seen through to the deepest part of her heart made Yun Xiao very insecure, but when the window paper was pierced, she felt unobstructed again.

The eldest grandson Wugou has been paying attention to Yunxiao's changes, seeing that she has finally calmed down, he walks behind her with small steps, and gently holds Yunxiao's hand.

Yun Xiao was startled by the sudden warmth in her hand, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but Changsun Wugou didn't give her this chance, and held her hand tightly.

"I know it's difficult...and helpless," Changsun Wugou said slowly, "I've thought a lot about it these three days. I thought that if I were you, ascending to the throne at such a helpless time, I would be ashamed if I didn't know anything. Pushed into a position where everyone criticizes, asked to govern such a big country without knowing anything, and always be careful about being exposed, and there is not even a trustworthy person around..."

"If it were me, I might not even have the ability to deal with them. But you are different, you can, you will be a good emperor, you can let those people live a really good life, and wait for the world to be clean. When you are Yan, it is also when you are the most free."

Yun Xiao bit her lip, her limbs tensed unconsciously, the hand that was originally held by the eldest grandson Wugou was now held backwards by her, and the elder grandson Wugou felt the strength of Yunxiao's growing hand, without crying out for pain, Just looked at her calmly.

After a while, Yun Xiao withdrew her strength, and raised the hand of the eldest grandson Wugou that she was holding just now. Several red marks had been stretched out on the original white hand. Yun Xiao rubbed it lightly. He took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the bustling capital, and said, "Well, I got it."

Yun Xiao's voice was very soft, but the breeze that happened to pass by sent it to Changsun Wugou's ears.
