Kunren Palace.

The queen sent away the maids who surrounded her and pressed their heads and shoulders. In the past, she liked to look at these beautiful girls and thought they were good-looking and good-looking, but now she is completely out of mood.

The past was vivid in her mind, she thought of herself, Chu Chengyuan, and herself when she was with Chu Chengyuan.

More than twenty years ago, the first year of Taiping.

The 14-year-old queen, wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, married the emperor who had just ascended the throne in a daze.

The emperor was ten years older than her, and he was also a handsome man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, but such broad shoulders and the fiery breath of an adult man would only scare her.

The emperor has no children, and there has been no general election since he ascended the throne. She is actually the youngest one in such a huge palace.

So she insisted on supporting the posture of mother Yitianxia, ​​and kept a tolerant and smiling face every day.The dowry nun who brought it into the palace said, Madam, you are just not used to it now, and it will be fine in the future.

A month, two months, until the fear turned to loathing, and she still wasn't used to it.

Fortunately, life has indeed become easier as she wished, and she has Chu Chengyuan.

The child was brought into the palace by Princess Jingjia. The princess and the emperor went into the inner hall to discuss matters, and sent Chu Chengyuan out to play with the maid. Chu Chengyuan ran away by himself because of his small size and flexibility.

It happened that the queen felt that the house was stuffy, so she sent the maid away, wandered alone in the garden, bumped into a child, and asked him what his name was without associating him with the succession incident that had been raging in the previous dynasty.

The child said, "My name is Chu Chengyuan today."

She wondered, "Then what was your name yesterday?"

"My name was Xie Siyuan yesterday, what's your name?"

The queen recalled for a moment, then slowly said: "My name is Wang Xiyun."

Chu Chengyuan nodded to show that he understood, and then lowered his head to pick up mud from the ground to play.Wang Xiyun endured and endured by the side, and couldn't take it anymore, pinched his wrist, took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him.

He didn't resist, he was hugged obediently, looked down at her wiping his hands, and asked, "Do you live in the palace too? Can I play with you in the future."

"It should be possible."

Chu Chengyuan shook his head: "The eldest princess said that I have to follow the empress and obey her obediently. If the empress refuses, I cannot play with you."

Wang Xiyun took a deep look at him: "The queen agrees."

Chu Chengyuan was the first person in the palace to ask her name, although no one cared whether Daning's queen was called Wang Xiyun or Wang Buxiyun, but she felt that at least she should remember.

Afterwards, the empress brought the prince to grow up slowly. He was well educated, benevolent to the common people, and filial to the empress, but there were many disputes in the previous court and the harem. Well, this piece of flesh and blood only symbolizes her authority - it is unavoidable that Chu Chengyuan is burdened by her.

The queen, who had always been gentle, dignified, and moody, staggered to find the emperor, but was stopped by the deposed prince on the way. He had already removed his crown, and looked up at the first flower blooming on the peach tree in the garden.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty promises everything. This matter cannot be changed. Don't offend him again, and lose the Queen's respect because of my affairs."

"Are you asking me to leave you alone!?" she screamed.

"I was originally a tool for pushing and pulling between Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess, and the courtiers. Only you are kind and treat me sincerely. You are the Queen, as long as the Queen has her heart, no matter who the future successor is, you will be the queen." It's the empress dowager, don't worry about me anymore."

The queen didn't want to get involved with him, so she rushed forward, but the man in his twenties was already much taller than his mother, and she couldn't get rid of him.

"Wang Xiyun," after more than ten years, Chu Chengyuan still remembered this name. He raised his hand and pinned her loose hair behind his ear, and said softly, "Your Majesty is just my adoptive mother."

Wang Xiyun looked at him as if he saw a ghost, staggered two steps by the undisguised emotion in his eyes, and squeezed out the word "presumptuous" from between his teeth.

The palace servants behind her knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Chu Chengyuan didn't kneel down, and didn't tell her to appease her anger. He stood on the spot and laughed slowly: "Mother, you clearly know that there are only a few good things in this palace. Being respected and honored by others is more worthwhile than saving me."

Of course being a queen is worth more than saving a beast that is not as good as a pig or a dog. That day Wang Xiyun returned to Kunren Palace and tore up all the things that Chu Chengyuan gave her since she was a child. .

But in the past few years without that beast, the empress sat in the Kunren Palace, the emperor's hypocrisy was annoying, and the concubine's messy fights were annoying, and the servants served them well, but they were still... lonely.

She began to recall how she survived these days in the deep palace.

It seems that Chu Chengyuan threw worms on the concubines she hated when he was a child, or maybe it was the clear and clear sound of reading in Kunren Palace after he grew up, and later there was a second prince in the palace, she pitied him for being in panic all day long, He hugged the half-grown boy in his arms to comfort him.

The queen hated his dirty thoughts, but Kunren Palace was so cold, only the child was warm.

How can she leave him alone?

The doors and windows in the house were closed tightly, and the queen sat upright at the head of the main hall, her face brightly lit in the shadow of the candlelight.

"Yuan'er brought you from the slave camp at Zhenbei Pass to the palace. If it wasn't for him, you would have died of exhaustion outside the pass. How could you have such a good life now."

Qi Yu lowered his eyebrows and replied "Yes" respectfully.

"Since you recognize this favor, why do you want to repay kindness with grievances and let Yuan'er be harmed by King Zhenbei and Huang..."

She paused for a moment, hiding the word "Emperor".

Even at this point, even though the resentment has been tossed in her heart thousands of times, even though there are no other people in this palace who have eyes and ears, she still dare not criticize her husband.

Whether as a minister of the king or a husband's wife, the queen can stand by and watch others disrespect the emperor, but she dare not go against the sky herself.

Qi Yu looked up at her, didn't say much, and knelt down on the ground: "This servant is incompetent, please punish the empress."

"How incompetent are you?" The queen shook her head, and walked up to him, with a smile and tears on her face, only the hostility and hatred were clear.

"You are the military envoy of the Zhenbei Supervisor, and you can obviously conceal the confession of the King of Zhenbei. If Your Majesty didn't know about this, how could my Yuan'er be killed? You owe him your life, should I ask for it back? "

Qi Yu opened his mouth, but felt that he had nothing to say.

"Please empress empress to blame..."

"—You stand for me and shut up!"

The door of the palace was pushed open vigorously, Qi Yu looked back and saw the sky shining into the dim palace.

The visitor was wearing a moon-white dress, the pearl hairpin on his head was dangling, and he was in a very unrefined posture. Accompanied by the exclamation and obstruction of the court ladies, he strode up to his side.

"You have done everything you can, and as she said, you almost put yourself in a situation of death and death in order to repay your kindness. Why do you let her punish you?"

Qi Yu narrowed her eyes, which were stung by the sun, and felt in a daze that she was driving the sun to this place.
