"You said that emperors throughout the ages, why are there more short-lived ones and fewer long-lived ones?" Liang Guanjing asked.

Su Mingyue said: "The color word is like a sword, the emperor has three thousand beauties, what do you think?"

Liang Guanjing shook his head: "According to the records of the servants, Emperor Chengzong summoned his concubines to sleep with him, but it's not very frequent."

Su Mingyue said: "He? He eats five stones, right?"

Liang Guanjing still shook his head: "He didn't eat much. I asked the Tai Hospital, and they couldn't tell how toxic this thing is."

Su Mingyue said: "It can only be said that his fate is not good. He fell ill in Zhao Cairen's bed, and his reputation is not good."

Liang Guanjing said: "In the few years after he brought Zhendou down, he could only fight alone. It is said that he often reviewed the memorials until midnight. When he got up in the morning and went to the morning court, he had to prepare before dawn. How many years would he spend like this? It is true that he tried his best to govern, but his life was lost, all he got was a good reputation."

Su Mingyue disdained, "Actually, I don't have a good reputation."

Liang Guanjing patted her on the shoulder, telling her to be calm and calm, "I don't want to live forever, and I don't need a hundred years old, but I want to grow old with you. When the government is no longer in control, we will retire to the people and do business together." A pair of old women traveling in mountains and rivers."

When it comes to old age, Su Mingyue is very nervous. She doesn't care whether Liang Guanjing is old or not these years. He is an emperor anyway. For an emperor, he is more than 40 years old, but he is different, whether he is a minister or not. If you are not a concubine, it will be very embarrassing when you get old.

Liang Guanjing thought about getting old, Su Mingyue would rather die young than this good day.

She touched her face and said worriedly: "I have been reviewing memorials all these years, and I have been fighting day and night. Do I age faster than you? We are ten years apart, but when I look in the mirror now, I often feel that you are the same as you." I seem to be on the same level. You look very old, but I can't do it, and my eyes are very old and wrinkled."

Liang Guanjing knew what she was thinking, "The two of us, doing things alone, can always handle it. Mrs. Han is ten years younger than me, and I'm afraid you think I'm old!" Leaning close to her ear, "No matter how old a woman is, she won't worry about not lifting one day."

This is very obscene, Mrs. Han glanced at her and stared at her reproachfully.

"Let's grow old together, and no one should dislike anyone." Liang Guanjing said.

Su Mingyue is not so optimistic. It is only natural for the emperor to despise his concubines. How can a concubine despise the old emperor?She knows that Liang Guanjing loves her, and after so many years, she has become her right-hand man, and she cannot do without her, but seeing that she is no longer the beautiful face in the mirror, how long can she be beautiful?

Back then when her mother was not yet thirty, Su Yunhai was already in love with her. Of course Liang Guanjing was not Su Yunhai, but Su Mingyue always had something on her mind, and always felt that one day that person would suddenly change her mind, and she was never able to figure it out. .

Wang Wanyan went out to do errands, and came back after half a year. She told Liang Guanjing in Qianqing Palace what kind of livelihood prostitutes in various places are now making. Eating the Lingnan lychee handed over by her, he was amazed at what she said.

Su Mingyue stood at the door for a while, Lianxiang wondered, "Aren't you going in?"

"Just remembered, there is something else to do." Su Mingyue turned to leave, and did not forget to order before leaving, "Don't tell the emperor that I have been here."

Zhao Cairen, now she should be called Concubine Zhuang, she went to the imperial study to deliver food to the Crown Prince and Princess Guangping, Su Mingyue looked at her face carefully, this person was more than ten years younger than herself, by comparison After all, the wind and frost of the years still remained on the face.Now there is a distant cousin who is a minister in the court, and because of the birth of Princess Guangping, she is promoted every year, Concubine Zhuang is full and has nothing to do, she only spends her time on her face.

Su Mingyue knew that Zhao Zhidong's status as a "male favorite" was wronged, but what about Concubine Zhuang?She knows that the emperor actually likes beautiful women, will she be tempted?

Or Zhao Zhidong's "male favorite" is also genuine.

Holding the vermilion pen, Su Mingyue tried hard to restrain her wild thoughts, Ah Yuan wouldn't, she was not that kind of person.

Over the years, capable people have emerged in the court, and the newly promoted are all diligent and capable. Su Mingyue seldom needs to do things in the cabinet by herself. She just needs to keep an eye on her for a while. When everyone talked about their husbands, they all talked about men stealing chickens and dogs.

"Gu Changfeng is raising concubines outside?" Su Mingyue was stunned.

Su Jingzhi said: "Maybe it's not a concubine, but he has a square scarf on his body. It wasn't prepared by me, it was given by someone else. How can ordinary friends give this stuff?"

Su Mingyue said: "Don't worry too much, he is not that kind of person."

Su Jingzhi said: "You know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart. Look at the appearance of the wives in the seat. How many of them have a peaceful home? Mrs. Shen of Xingguo Mansion always praises her husband's deep affection, and buys all kinds of Novelties and treasures please her, but in fact, she is the only one who does not know that Xingguo Marquis has a concubine in Manjingcheng."

This sentence irritated Su Mingyue. It was rumored that Liang Guanjing had countless male favorites, but he was the only one who didn't know that there were truths among those male favorites?Liang Guanjing was originally on good terms with men, and it was purely an accident with herself, it was she who stuck to it with a shameless face back then.Then there are many beauties in the harem. After Emperor Chengzong passed away, none of them were sent to Nangong Qixia Temple, and they all lived a good life in the palace.Emperor Tianshun was abolished, Emperor Zhenhua abdicated, and Liang Guanjing almost took over the entire harem. One day, the maid came in to report some trivial matters in the emperor's east palace, and the emperor even joked with her.

Su Mingyue overlooked the entire harem, feeling that the grass and trees were like soldiers, which was shocking.

Han Yunong is gone!The girl's family is going to be a matchmaker. She has studied in the Imperial College for so many years, and has called brothers and sisters with several aristocratic princes. Su Mingyue asked her if there is someone she likes.

Han Yunnong sighed: "I'm planning to recruit a son-in-law. From now on, the child and I will be named Han, so no one wants to be a son-in-law anymore."

Su Mingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then you've been fooling around like this?"

Han Yunnong said: "There's no other way. If you want to marry, you have to be willing to marry, or you won't talk about it."

Naturally, the one she likes refuses to marry, and she despises the one who is willing to marry.

Thanks to Han Yunnong, she has not yet become a grandmother (or grandma), but Su Mingyue knew that she had reached her age, and lying there at night, she began to toss and turn, unable to sleep, suffering from insomnia, palpitations, and wild thoughts.

Liang Guanjing was the first to discover this question, "What's wrong with you recently?"

"It's nothing, it's just old."

Liang Guanjing hugged her from behind, "Old is old, who can not be old? I will age faster than you!"

"You are the emperor, you are different. The emperor is in his prime at the age of 40, what will the concubines be like at the age of 40?"

"Thinking wildly again?" Seeing that Su Mingyue didn't speak, she buried her face in her hair and smiled softly, "I'll tell you what I thought when I was promoted to the imperial grandmother."

Su Mingyue turned her head, "I said it all, we are different."

"Back then, I hadn't become an emperor, but I was a queen mother in Nangong. Once I heard that I was going to become a grandmother, wouldn't I just spend the rest of my life waiting to die? Didn't you see how I came here a while ago? "

Su Mingyue said: "If the two of us are still in Nangong, naturally we shouldn't dislike anyone, but it's different now, you are the emperor, what am I? A minister or not, a concubine or not?"

Liang Guanjing said: "How about making you a queen?"

Su Mingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you trying to straighten this concubine of me?"

Liang Guanjing said: "I have never regarded you as a concubine? Emperor Chengzong took you as a concubine. I regard you as the most important person. It is not enough to be a queen. Whatever you want, I will give you everything." .”

Su Mingyue said: "Don't you know what I want?"

Liang Guanjing turned her over to face him, made himself half shorter, and snuggled into Su Mingyue's arms, "No, here you are, the whole body is yours, and I can't wait to take out my heart and give it to you."

Su Mingyue hit her, knowing that this person was unmatched in his sweet talk.

"It is said that you have countless male favorites, but none of them are true?"

Liang Guanjing was very angry, "It's really the biggest grievance in the whole world. Now I have no interest in men at all."

Su Mingyue poked her forehead, "With Yunqing here, you can't be wronged."

Liang Guanjing's heart was throbbing, "It happened so many years ago, you won't come here to settle the old score with me now, right? Aren't you clear about the cause and effect? ​​Isn't it all because of you?"

Su Mingyue said: "I talked about this with my second sister and Princess Zheng Guo. They said that they would never be in the mood to do such a thing when they were heartbroken. Men and women love each other. If there is no love, there will be no love." Do it. Did you think at the time that after I die, you and Gu can continue their relationship? It just so happens that he is a warm-hearted person."

"I can't tell if I have a mouth, but it's true that I have kept myself like a jade all these years, you have to believe me!" Liang Guanjing was already begging.

Su Mingyue sighed, "Forget it, I'm afraid I'm going to make you unhappy by eating these old vinegars. If you're upset, what kind of male pets, female officials, and so many beauties in the harem, all of them know the cold and warm better than me, I'm afraid you're going to hate me."

Liang Guanjing touched her face, "Why would I despise you? I love you so much. It's all caused by being the emperor. If we were still in Nangong, we would be a pair of free and easy wild cranes, but coming to the capital is extremely difficult. To be emperor at risk, you must pay some price. You and I should know this in our hearts. Fortunately, I am not alone now, with you here, I can survive everything."

Su Mingyue also felt that this was indeed caused by Liang Guanjing's being the emperor.

Liang Guanjing said softly: "If you are anxious, uncomfortable, or suspicious, you can talk to me about it. It doesn't matter. You know what I mean. I'm only afraid of wronging you. Even if I didn't wrong you, you were wronged yourself. It's even worse if you kill yourself."

Su Mingyue said: "Tell Concubine Zhuang not to go to the imperial study in the future, I feel upset."

Liang Guanjing didn't smile, and said solemnly: "Understood. It's time for Qihao to go to the South Study Room now, and he has reached the age of enlightenment to study. From now on, the Royal Study Room will only have the two of us apart from a few slaves."

Su Mingyue said again: "In the cabinet, Ma Wenzheng is also capable. He is still an upright official. Isn't he just ugly? You can't spoil Zhao Zhidong alone, not to mention ruining your reputation. Civil and military officials also complain a lot. It is always bad to overdo things."

Liang Guanjing said: "Ma Wenzheng has just entered the cabinet, and seniority is the most important thing in the cabinet. It is useless for me to value Ma Wenzheng. On the contrary, because I treat him better, they closed the door in the Wenhua Palace and joined forces. Bully Ma Wenzheng."

Su Mingyue was stunned: "There is such a thing?"

"On the court, it's the same as the harem."

Su Mingyue covered her mouth and smiled, "I thought men were different."

"They're all human, what's the difference. Men oppress subordinates, crowd out colleagues, and frame Shangfeng, and they are only more ruthless than women. Meng Wenjun became an official in the local area, and he knew how to promote some female subordinates. I think the court is willing to promote it." Other people's are his disciples. Ma Wenzheng is like this, if Tang Yixin didn't think highly of him back then, he wouldn't know where he would be a county magistrate in a remote place?"

Su Mingyue said: "Tang Yixin is indeed a talent, but it's a pity he won't support you."

Liang Guanjing said: "It's not bad if he doesn't become the second Shangguanyi, I don't want to kill him."

Su Mingyue laughed again, "It was you who shouted and shouted back then."

Liang Guanjing said: "Thank you Mrs. Korea for your outspoken advice. The precedent of not killing civil servants in this dynasty has finally not been broken in my hands. Not only that, but I will carry it forward so that civil servants can speak out more righteously than when Emperor Chengzong was here."

Su Mingyue's face changed slightly: "You are quite open-minded."
