[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

Shuwan felt that something was wrong with the emperor recently, so she called Kang Bao to discuss the matter with her eldest son.

"Did your Ama suffer from a stroke and ruined his brain?" Shuwan sighed, "Recently he keeps staring at me, asking him why he doesn't answer, he hesitates to speak every time."

Kang Bao shook his head, "Is there? I didn't find it!"

Shuwan: "Hiss, maybe he's always staring at me, not you, so you didn't notice it! Your temper has gotten better recently, and you haven't cursed at anyone anymore."

Kang Bao laughed, "Isn't it good not to lose your temper? Ama used to suffer from physical discomfort, so she was irritable. Now that she doesn't lose her temper randomly, it means that he is getting better!"

"I don't see it. He seems to be deliberately restraining his temper."

Shuwan poured a cup of tea to suppress the restlessness in her heart.

"How about... I'll ask the dance master to show you, Ama!"

Kang Bao: "...you don't believe in monks and priests, but do you believe in dancing gods?"

Combo couldn't understand this logic.

"Tsk tsk tsk, eight generations of your ancestors are all from outside the Guan, and Xintiao Dashen is right. I am solving the problem from the root, do you understand! This is better than monks and Taoists!"

This logical relationship makes sense, but Kangbao still can't understand it.

"Emiang, let me remind you that eight generations of your ancestors also came from outside the Guan."

Shuwan nodded, "Ah yes! Yes, yes, I am also from outside the customs, and I believe in the things left by my ancestors. Tomorrow, I will find a dance master and ask him to help you take a look and get it for you, Ama. Order some cinnabar talisman water to drink."

Kang Bao could still understand the jokes, he shook his head helplessly, smiled with his mouth pursed, and didn't open his mouth to make random remarks.

Shuwan took a sip of tea and sighed again.

"I stay with you, Ama, day and night. I know his temper and habits best. Recently, he is really abnormal. I can't explain exactly how abnormal. I always feel that he has something on his mind. "

Shuwan asked Kang Bao: "Did you tell him about your handling of Nian Gengyao?"

Kang Bao sighed, "How dare I tell him this! Ah Ma was worried about government affairs, and the imperial doctor said that he must not be too sad or happy recently. I absolutely dare not say this."

The mother and son looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

"Empress, Your Majesty invites you to the Imperial Garden."

The servant came to pass the message, Shuwan got up and opened the window to look out.

"The sky is cloudy and the temperature is low today. I think it will snow. The emperor is not staying in the house at this time. What are you going to do in the imperial garden?"

How could the servants know what the emperor was thinking, he hesitated and couldn't answer, and Shuwan couldn't make things difficult for him.

"Forget it, go prepare the hand stove and bring two cloaks. Ask the little eunuchs to wait in the imperial garden. If it snows, let them sweep frequently. I will give them subsidies later."

The servants were ordered to prepare, but Kang Bao said, "Emiang, let me go with you!"

Shuwan smiled and said: "Don't go, you are so busy in front of you, and after listening to my complaints, you will spend more time reviewing papers when you go back. I can take good care of your Ama, so don't worry!"

Shuwan took people to the imperial garden, and the emperor had already arrived.He was sitting in the gazebo, boiling water on a small clay stove on a stone table.The stone bench he was sitting on was covered with thick cushions, and there was a small charcoal stove under his feet. It didn't look cold at all.

Shuwan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you'll be cold, so I specially ordered someone to make a hand stove and bring a cloak. Seeing you like this, I've done wasted effort. You take good care of yourself!"

The emperor waved to her with a faint smile, "Come and sit, there are heated stone slabs in the cushion, it is warm."

Shuwan sat down, the cushion was really warm.

"It's late autumn now, the leaves have all fallen, and the chrysanthemums have withered long ago. Why do you still come out to enjoy the scenery? What is there to enjoy?"

The emperor smiled, "Whether you can get it or not depends on God's will."

Shuwan paused, "What are you doing? You are mysterious."

The emperor waved his hand and told all the waiters to go out.

Shuwan made a pot of tea with boiled water, and the fragrance of the tea overflowed. The emperor looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup, and asked a question suddenly.

"Is Kang Bao going to get rid of Nian Gengyao?"

Shuwan froze, "Why?"

She was afraid that the emperor was cheating on her, so she decided to bite the bullet and refuse to admit it.

The emperor smiled, "Although I'm sick, it's just that I can't use my hands and feet, my ears and eyes are still good, and I have a lot of eyeliner. You have managed the Yongshou Palace very well, but I have been the emperor for a few years. There is no shortage of loyal confidantes."

"Okay! Okay! You have a good command, I lost!"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Shuwan didn't plan to hide it anymore.She told the emperor everything about Nian Gengyao's participation in alchemy, carefully watching the emperor's face while talking.

"That's the way it is. If he dares to cheat you, how can Kang Bao and I spare him! We don't want to hide it from you, but the imperial doctor said that you are sick, so you shouldn't think too much. I'm afraid you will be stimulated. Can't take it."

The emperor sat in a daze, and Shuwan's heart arose.

She hurriedly held the emperor's hand, "Don't worry, Nian Gengyao has become more and more arrogant in recent years, I know you can't tolerate him long ago. Kang Bao just brought this matter ahead of schedule, for you and the court Nothing to lose."

The emperor shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm not excited, I just... just feel a little complicated. Maybe, maybe I'm really no longer important, and the affairs of the court don't depend on me."

The emperor has always been very confident, has Shuwan ever heard the emperor say such a thing?She panicked and her voice trembled.

"Don't talk nonsense! You are the most suitable emperor. You are not satisfied with the status quo, you are willing to reform, and you are willing to adapt. This alone is better than [-]% of the emperors in history. You still have a lot of ambitions that have not been realized! You cheer up!

I know you've been sick recently and you're in a bad mood, but you can recover from your illness slowly!Food and drink are served at home, and the imperial doctor with the best medical skills is waiting in the palace. Could it be that you can’t cure your illness? "

The emperor held Shuwan's hand back, "I've been thinking a lot lately..."

Shuwan scolded: "I think you are too idle, that's why you like to think wildly. Don't think about it! Don't think about it! You should recuperate well!"

The emperor smiled, a few snowflakes floated in outside the pavilion, the emperor held Shuwan's hand, stood up and looked out.

"It's snowing, the first snow this year."

Shuwan didn't care about Snow Flower, she agreed casually, "Yes, the first snow."

The emperor supported Shuwan's profile, and gently kissed her on the lips, as light as snowflakes.

Shuwan was stunned, "Why?"

"Can't I kiss you? I still have to ask why."

Shuwan stammered a little, "Let's talk about being the emperor and raising our health, why did you kiss me all of a sudden?"

Besides, for old couples, they are so old, and they are in the imperial garden again, it's really strange that the emperor suddenly came to kiss them.

The emperor smiled and said, "Didn't you say that? You want to kiss your favorite person when it snows for the first time."

The wind blows snowflakes into the gazebo, Shuwan feels her face is hot, and the snowflakes seem to melt before they touch her cheeks.

She tapped the emperor's shoulder lightly, like a kitten scratching someone.

"Suddenly doing something like this..." It's really embarrassing!

The emperor smiled and said: "I have been thinking about one thing these days. I am old and now I am sick. It is time to abdicate."

"What?" Shuwan was immediately overwhelmed by the news before she recovered from the romance just now.

The emperor loves power so much, he wants to abdicate?

"You...why are you..."

The emperor said: "Power is very important to me, but you are more important to me. You have taken good care of me these days, my hair has turned gray from exhaustion, and I always make you angry. If it wasn't for Xiaobao that day Reminder, I didn't even notice the white hair on your temples."

The emperor caressed Shuwan's temples, feeling sore in his heart.

"Although my childhood and teenage years were rich and well-fed, I always felt that I was not complete enough. I looked tough, but in my heart I was looking forward to a harmonious and happy family. After I got married with you, I realized what it is like to live an ordinary life. feeling.

You always worry more at home and outside the home, and the children are also thanks to your careful upbringing. If I come to teach, I guess I will teach two out of three, and the remaining one will be a good ass. "

Shuwan muttered softly, "I'm not as good as you said..."

The emperor said: "You have! You are the best to me! Ever since I became the emperor, I have devoted all my heart to political affairs. I seldom spend time with you, and you have never complained. You persuade I seldom read the memorials, just worried that I would break my health, not to blame me for neglecting you."

Shuwan felt that it would be good for the emperor to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor, but she was afraid that the emperor would regret it.

"You have to know that it will be difficult to come back after retiring. If you hand over the power to your son, you can no longer intervene at will. I don't want you to do this for me, and I don't want you to regret it in the future."

"I won't regret it." The emperor looked at Shuwan and smiled softly.

"We have reached this age, I am thinking, we can still be together for a few more years. Maybe in a few years I will relapse, maybe one day I will get old and forget you. I just want to work harder, harder, Take the rest of the time and spend it with you."

Shuwan actually doesn't like living in the palace, the emperor has always known that they can move out of the palace and live in Yuanmingyuan.There are mountains and water, and the scenery is good, which is suitable for them to retire.

Shuwan looked at the emperor steadfastly, her heart swelled, but she couldn't say a word.

The emperor took a snowflake, "I thought about it for a long time, and I was careful enough when I made this decision. I want to wait until the day of the first snow to tell you about this decision. This is the first time I have waited for this snow. You see, I will wait , it came, which means that God also supports my decision."

Shuwan stared at Xue Hua in a daze, her nose soured, and tears welled up.

She threw herself into the arms of the emperor, and the emperor's cloak was soaked with tears.

The emperor hugged her, laughed and teased: "Is it so moved? So moved, just hugging her is not enough."

Shuwan raised her head, held the emperor's face and kissed it several times.

The emperor smiled, "Do you like me so much?"

Shuwan nodded, um, I like it, I like you the most!

Even though I have been wronged and angry with you, after so many years, I still like you the most, and it will always be you.
