From Zhen Huan

I want to grow up happily, and I want my children to not have to live in the shadow of my younger brother in the future.There is only one way I can think of - get out of the palace.

11. Better die than surrender

Going out of the palace is the best plan I came up with after careful consideration. I can avoid the battles in the harem and break free from the shackles of the deep palace.

In the experience of several generations, the life in the harem is not only monotonous and boring, but also often has unavoidable struggles that affect oneself, and even does not know the reason, and there is not even a fair treatment when the innocent are implicated.

It's not that I'm weak in heart, but I don't want to waste my time. Deep in my heart, I always yearn for the blue sky and white clouds outside the palace wall that are more free, full of life, and make me feel alive.So when there is a legitimate and suitable opportunity in front of me, even if it is dangerous, even if it will offend Xuan Ling, I still don't want to miss it, let alone be afraid and retreat.

After returning from the Empress Dowager's palace, I changed into more plain clothes, took off the hairpin on my head, and simply rolled up my black hair, and I planned to put a few more layers of cotton cloth on my knees just in case.

I had a simple lunch, the soup is fresh and fragrant crucian carp soup, the dishes are fried pork slices with enoki mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, and steamed tofu.

Since I came here, I have ordered the kitchen to prepare some home-cooked dishes on the list except for the nourishing soup every day.At this time, I was the only pregnant woman in the palace, so naturally I didn't have to abide by the rules of how many dishes and soups, everything was my preference.It's so simple, but I eat it deliciously. If there are dozens of dishes on a table, I will be too picky before I eat it.

"Jianqiu, go and ask the emperor if he has gone to sister's palace." I rinsed my mouth with green tea, wiped my mouth clean with a handkerchief slowly, and then instructed Jianqiu.

"Yes, empress." Jian Qiu bowed to me and backed out.

After Huichun helped me to walk slowly around the room for two times, Jianqiu came back and replied, "Go back to Madam, the emperor is now in the Changle Palace of the young lady."

Changle Palace, 'Changle Weiyang', Xuanling is like this, wishing that the long night will never pass, and enjoy being with Zhu Rouze all the time.

When I stepped into Changle Palace, it was afternoon. In front of Changsheng Hall, the main hall of Changle Palace, a girl in red was sitting on the floor playing the piano. Her black silk was like ink, her complexion was like snow, her slender index finger fluttered on the strings, and her red lips slightly When it is opened, there is a beautiful singing voice like the sound of nature flowing out of it.This is my current elder sister Zhu Rouze. She is intelligent but has no intentions. All her talents and spirits are concentrated in poetry, writing and vocal music. She is a natural artist and a true peerless beauty.

Born in the same era as Zhu Rou, it is the misfortune of all the women in the harem. Who would be nostalgic for ordinary fine wine after drinking the fine wine!

Xuan Ling, the young emperor who loves cleanliness and respects etiquette, is sitting with Zhu Rouze in a shapeless manner, watching his beloved play the piano and sing, that look in his eyes is something I have never seen in so many years Gentleness, only those who love each other can have such a sweet look.

This pair of lovers, I didn't even realize that I was here, and their world could not tolerate anyone but each other.

After the song was over, Xuan Ling woke up like a dream, turned to look at me and sighed: "Yixiu, you are here." His expression was still obsessed, as if he was still intoxicated by the beautiful singing just now, unwilling wake up.

"Emperor Jin'an." I bowed down slowly, my big belly made my movements look very dangerous and scary, Zhu Rou just lifted it up at this moment, and immediately let out an exclamation when she saw it.

Xuan Ling quickly raised his hand and said: "The noble concubine is exempt from the etiquette. Now that she is pregnant, she doesn't have to follow these etiquettes, so as not to hurt the child."

I stood up following Huichun's hand, and replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Rou came over at this time, touched my stomach with a face full of surprise, looked envious, and exclaimed: "It's so big, I don't know if the baby is okay inside, I really hope to see you soon."

Before I could say anything in the future, Xuan Ling had already held her hand, and comforted her: "When Wanwan becomes my queen, we will have a few more princes and concubines. I'm sure Wanwan will like it very much."

Zhu Rou sneaked a glance at me, and wanted to pull her hand out but felt embarrassed, her whole face was flushed with embarrassment.

"The concubine also hopes that my sister can give birth to a few more younger brothers and sisters for the eldest prince. They must be extremely intelligent and lively." I thought of the ending of Zhu Rou's difficult childbirth and died, and seeing her look full of expectations now, I couldn't help feeling a little pity, so Then he gave a blessing by the way.Such a beautiful woman, I really can't bear to see her wither in the deep palace.

As soon as I said the words, Xuan Ling looked at me very strangely. Presumably he also knew that Zhu Yixiu would not be able to sincerely bless them, but now this body has already changed to another person.

"Wanwan, the Empress Mother has some new tributed Cuifeng, I want you to taste it." Seeing Zhu Rou, Xuan Ling pulled her hand away, as if she wanted to talk to me about her sisterhood, so she said casually Find a reason.

Zhu Rou had a pure personality and didn't doubt Xuan Ling's words at all, so she happily agreed, and took the little maid who was close to her to the Queen Mother's palace.

"Since you are here, there must be a reason, let's hear it." Xuan Ling asked me after watching Zhu Rou walk out of the palace gate.

Xuan Ling is currently only 13 years old. Although he tried his best to look like an adult, I have seen his majestic and serious appearance more than ten years later, but I think his pretending is very ridiculous.

But I couldn't laugh. Instead, I waved back and forth, knelt on the ground with a serious and firm expression, and asked: "Recently, my concubine was conceived in Zhaoyang Palace, but I heard that the emperor wants to make my sister a queen. This time, my concubine is here. I want to ask the emperor if this is true?"

Xuan Ling was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that I would ask him so directly, but then he adjusted his mood and replied blankly: "Wan Wan is the love of my life, I will marry her as my queen, Become husband and wife with me, share the honor of this world, and don't let her suffer the slightest grievance."

After hearing this, I kowtowed to Xuan Ling, and then asked again: "The emperor is the son of heaven, so naturally he can't be wrong. Since the emperor wants to make his sister his queen, the concubine can only bless her. But the concubine still wants to ask, when did you The emperor promised me to give birth to the prince and seal the queen, but I still remember."

"Of course I remember." Xuan Ling said firmly, and then said with some guilt: "But this time, that time, now that I have Wan Wan, naturally I can't wrong her at all. Besides, she is also your sister, don't you Don't you even care about the slightest sisterhood?"

I was speechless in my heart, and on the surface I smiled wryly, and replied: "The emperor keeps his promises, and the emperor is naturally not a villain who does not keep his word, so the concubine is the shrew who does not care about the feelings of sisters. Since the emperor said so , the concubine pleaded guilty."

I kowtowed to Xuanling again, regardless of his ugly face, and then asked: "I have been married to the emperor for one year, do you dare to ask if you have served the late emperor together with the emperor in this year! I have lost my wife's morals! Dare to ask if I have done harm to my heirs this year! Dare to ask if I have not been considerate to the emperor this year!"

Xuan Ling didn't expect me to be so aggressive, so he replied in a panic: "You have always been virtuous and virtuous, of course you don't have it."

"Since there is no," I knelt on the ground, but raised my head, looked directly at Xuanling and asked loudly: "Then why does the emperor consign his wife to concubine and his son to concubine? Does the emperor disregard the laws of the Great Zhou, disregard The mouth of the world, don't you care about your sister's status?"

"Bold!" Seeing that Zhu Rouze was mentioned in my words, especially the fact that she was engaged, he became furious and shouted at me.

However, I was not afraid at all, and the more I stood up, I said to him: "Concubines have always been very timid, and the emperor knows it. When the emperor has a new man, he forgets the old one, and he forgets that the concubine is not courageous." It's not unusual for me to say these things today. I didn't say these words today to blame the emperor, let alone my sister. I just want to tell the emperor that if one day my sister finds out that the emperor promised me to give birth and immediately marry me, what will the emperor say to me? Elder sister explained. Elder sister has always been pure and kind, and in her heart, the emperor must be a gentleman who promises everything, but once she knows this, will elder sister still think so in her heart?"

I didn't seem to see Xuan Ling's increasingly ugly expression, and said to myself: "My sister and the emperor are a match made in heaven. The concubine has a deep affection for the emperor. How can I bear to see my sister and the emperor's divorce after learning about this in the future?" What does it look like! The ministers and concubines came here to ask the emperor to crown the eldest prince as king. After the eldest prince is born, the ministers and concubines will take the eldest prince to the fiefdom, and they will not be allowed to enter Beijing forever without an edict."

After hearing this, Xuan Ling's face changed again and again. Based on his understanding of Zhu Rouze, he naturally knew that what I said was likely to happen.However, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has never been an example of a baby who was still in its infancy being crowned king, let alone a precedent for a concubine bringing her son to the fiefdom.For a moment, he hesitated, and his expression was cloudy and uncertain.

I know Xuan Ling is tempted. In this love triangle, I will always be a thorn in their hearts, and a stain on their love for the world.After all, it was Xuan Ling who betrayed me first, and at this moment he and Zhu Rouze were in perfect harmony, so how could he not care about his beautiful image of Zhu Rouze in his heart.

Without giving Xuanling time to think, I said what I wanted to say and then retreated back to Zhaoyang Hall. My stomach has grown big after eight months, so how can I bear it if I stay on the ground.

I didn't make me wait too long, and soon Xuan Ling was rewarded with a lot of treasures by Xuan Ling because of his meritorious service. When Huichun and Jianqiu looked at these rare treasures with great interest, I
