From Zhen Huan

Maybe I am tired and tired in too many reincarnations.

I long to be myself once again, not Zhen Huan, the smart and beautiful daughter of the Zhen family, Zhu Yixiu, the dignified and graceful queen in the palace, and even less Zhu Rouze, the innocent and innocent daughter of the Zhu family.Not any of them, just myself, loving the people I like, eating the things I like, seeing the scenery I like.

But I know, I can't!In this world, how many people can completely do whatever they want, not even Xuan Ling, who is the most respected in the world!

Under Xuan Ling's instructions, Weiyang Palace enjoys the best treatment in the palace. I was no more than that when I was the empress dowager, but he never came to see me. No matter what the reason was, I am very glad that I Being able to get such a period of pure time as a buffer can make my turbulent thoughts and tired mood calm down a little during this time.

After half a month, Changle Palace finally welcomed its first guest, my younger sister in this life, Concubine Xian Zhu Yixiu.

I helped her to sit in the Hall of Eternal Life, brought a cup of hot milk and put it in front of her, she picked it up and took a sip, looked around, and said with a smile on her face: "The emperor is so kind to my sister, The exquisite beauty of the Palace of Eternal Life is unique in the entire harem!"

I interrupted her, got straight to the point, and said in an affirmative tone: "My sister is here today, she is here to be a lobbyist."

She showed a sad smile, "Since my sister already knows, why bother to ask my sister! Doesn't my sister know the emperor's love for my sister? For my sister, the emperor is hurt every day, can't eat, can't sleep, Is my sister really so hard-hearted, not even the slightest touch?"

The more Zhu Yixiu talked, the more excited he became. When he talked about Xuan Ling, he was sad and worried, and when he finally questioned me, he looked at me with pain, jealousy, and hatred.

I was immediately irritated, and I threw the teacup in my hand on the ground, and the teacup was broken into four or five pieces immediately, and I could no longer see the exquisite and expensive holding in my palm just now.

I waved away all the attendants, pointed at Zhu Yixiu, was so angry that I was almost speechless, took a deep breath, and then asked her back: "Moved! Who is moved? For you, or for you? For the emperor? My good sister, although you are only a concubine of the second rank now, you were able to give birth to a son and concubine in a few days. What a great honor it is. You can stand upright with the man you love, and your whole life Everything will be fulfilled because of this. It’s a pity that you still feel regrets, what regrets? It’s a pity that I didn’t see that my sister who was always on your head in the past saw your beauty today.”

I didn't look at Zhu Yixiu's increasingly ugly expression, but vented all the anger accumulated in so many lifetimes.

"So you announced me to enter the palace through pregnancy, but what I didn't expect was that before I could see your scenery, I saw your husband first, and saw the emperor. He didn't care that I was your sister, and he didn't care about you. Pregnant, regardless of my engagement, ruined my marriage, ruined my reputation, and could no longer marry others. It made me lose my freedom, and I can only wait for him to come like a bird in a cage. And you"

I pointed at Zhu Yixiu with a sneer on my face, "My good sister, despite the fact that the emperor deprived you of the throne that should have belonged to you, and deprived your child of the status of heir to please your sister. You don't blame him, don't hate him , You even persuaded your sister to accept him and marry him because of him. It was he who hurt you! It was me you hated! But what did I do wrong? Have you ever cared about my thoughts? Did I You have to be grateful for his threats and persecution, and your hatred and jealousy!"

Zhu Yixiu never thought that that weak and innocent sister would say such a thing, so that he couldn't recover for a long time after I finished speaking.

This unscrupulous venting released all the negative emotions hidden in my heart, so that I could finally restore my peaceful state of mind.

Seeing Zhu Yixiu's big belly, I couldn't help but soften my heart, and said: "My sister knows the pain in her heart, and my sister will not embarrass my sister. If I see the emperor, I will only say that my sister has listened to my sister's persuasion, and she is already much better. "

Zhu Yixiu finally came back to his senses, and said, "Thank you sister for helping me."

I smiled wryly and said: "You don't have to thank me, I always have to accept it, right? The emperor is the son of heaven, the ruler of the world, and I'm just a little girl, how can I really refuse!"

Although they are sisters, they didn't have much contact and didn't know what to talk about. They called the palace servants to come in and clean up the floor. After that, we each sat upright and remained silent.

After sitting quietly for half an afternoon, Zhu Yixiu got up and said goodbye. I sent her to the gate of Changle Palace and told me: "Don't think about anything, just focus on getting the child down. Your Majesty will have many children in the future, but you are different. This may be your only child, the only grandson of the Zhu family."

Zhu Yixiu was shocked when he heard the words, but he didn't ask any more questions after all, he just walked away slowly while supporting Huichun's hand.

After getting Zhu Yixiu's reply, Xuan Ling often came to Changle Palace to see me. Although I didn't hate him, I didn't like him either.

Xuan Ling's enthusiasm was not affected at all, he came here almost every day, and all kinds of rewards were sent to Changle Palace like flowing water, even though I would never use them.

In the court hall, Xuan Ling had already announced the news that he would make me his queen. Of course, there were many scholars and literati who took advantage of this moment to talk about Xuan Ling's absurdity, but none of this could dispel Xuan Ling's determination to marry me. On the contrary, he paid more attention to it. Every day, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be urged to make this wedding grand and gorgeous.

The Empress Dowager once summoned me and hoped that I could accept and treat her only son well. I would not lie to such a mother who loves her child so much, and only tactfully expressed that I would never hurt her son.

The wedding day is getting tighter and tighter. My mother Mrs. Zhu came to see me in the palace on the eve of the wedding. She was very thin and seemed to be seriously ill. On the day we met, she hugged me tightly. , looking at me with worry and regret in my eyes.I hugged her back, hoping that she would be relieved, maybe she is not a competent mother, but she still deserves my respect, I hope she can be safe and happy.

On the day of my wedding, I accepted the arrangement of fate calmly and peacefully, and became the queen of Da Zhou and Xuan Ling's wife.

After marriage, Xuanling stayed in Changle Palace every night, so I had no choice but to persuade him to visit Concubine Xian, my younger sister Zhu Yixiu.

I don't know how Empress Chunyuan got along with Xuanling, but I have never danced Jinghong Dance, and I have never sung for him. I think the beauty of art is that it comes from the heart, and my old state of mind, In any case, I can't dance a tender dance or sing a song of joy.

I am familiar with Xuan Ling like an old married couple. I take care of his life very well, chat with him until late at night, take walks when the weather is fine, have picnics, and sit around the fireplace in the heavy snow in winter Drink tea and barbecue.

But I can't love him. I once loved Wen Shichu and trusted Xuanqing, but for Xuanling, I was always wary and uneasy. I guarded my heart firmly and prevented it from being manipulated by Xuanling. To please, to pamper and to impress.

Zhu Yixiu gave birth to a little prince after Xuanling and I got married. He is also Xuanling's eldest son. Due to being in the mother's womb, the little prince's health is not good, and he is a bit weak from birth.I made the imperial doctor take care of it carefully, and checked the results every month. When he was one year old, the little prince's health was indeed much better.

Zhu Yixiu put all his thoughts on the child, almost like Mrs. Zhu, guarding the child sickly. I tried to persuade her to no avail. In order to make it easier for her to take care of the child, I spared her morning and evening meditation. In this way, she seldom goes out of Zhaoyang Palace, and it is difficult to see me several times a month.

At the same time that I was concubine, Xuanling promoted the noble concubine Duan to concubine Duan, and also conferred the concubine Gan and the concubine Miao. Unfortunately, apart from Changle Palace, Xuanling seldom set foot in other palaces. Save time, I can smell the strong smell of vinegar.

The concubine Gan and the concubine Miao are far from the forbearance and wisdom of the concubine Qi Yue. They behave a bit like the arrogance of the concubine Hua. Unfortunately, I am not the weak Zhu Rouze, and I will always tolerate their unreasonable troubles. The arrogance and presumptuousness they were still emerging were strangled in the cradle.

All of a sudden, the harem was calm, except that except for the eldest prince under the knee of Concubine Xian Zhu Yixiu, none of the concubines including me was pregnant.

I once persuaded Xuanling, hoping that he would name the eldest son of the emperor and write down the jade certificate, but unfortunately Xuanling refused on the pretext that his son had not yet been born.

I didn't intentionally use contraception. I have a hot and dry constitution, and I usually eat cold and cold things, so it was difficult to conceive. Besides, Xuan Ling is well versed in the emperor's mind. For a long time, I didn't have to worry about getting pregnant.

Xuan Ling has been in charge since his wedding, but in the eyes of most courtiers, compared to the young new emperor, the Queen Mother is the master they can rely on.In such court struggles, Xuan Ling would not let me, the empress dowager's niece and daughter of Zhu's parents, give birth to a son.

This is Xuanling's love. Compared with Jiangshan, a beauty will always be the one who gets hurt, even if this beauty is his beloved wife.

The days in the deep palace passed like this, and two and a half years passed in the blink of an eye. Under the queen mother's step-by-step delegation of power, Xuan Ling finally took full control of the government and became the real master of Dazhou.

24. The Empress of Chunyuan

After living in the deep palace, the Empress Dowager eats vegetarian food and worships the Buddha every day, her face is calm, and she only smiles sincerely when she sees Xuan Ling.I seldom visit the Empress Dowager, and I ordered that she not be allowed to
