Memoirs of the Emperor of Heaven

At the banquet, Empress Fu Yuan sat on the throne with an indifferent expression on her face.Although she is nearly forty years old, she has exquisite and dignified facial features, light crescent eyebrows, shallow red lips, and she has an air of grace and luxury, but there is a hint of sadness in her eyes. Seeing the busy people in the court, although This is her birthday, but it seems that all of this has nothing to do with her.

According to the legend, the emperor loved the empress very much back then and relied on everything, but since the death of the crown prince, the empress has always treated the emperor with a lukewarm attitude, which chilled the emperor's heart, and turned to favor the empress. concubine empress.

The empress has a son and a daughter, and the son was the Crown Prince Rong Jin who passed away ten years ago.The cause of his death can be said to be very strange. Some people say that he was murdered for treason, while others say that he was framed.

Both claims are quite suspicious.The empress dotes on the harem, and there is only one son, and the crown prince has been established for many years. Is the crown prince full of food and insisting on plotting rebellion?Similarly, based on the emperor's feelings for the empress, the future position must be reserved for the prince. The prince has always been respectful and filial, so how could he kill him for no reason?

There are different opinions, and the royal family is also very taboo about this matter. There are even rumors that the prince was possessed by a monster and wanted to murder the emperor, so the emperor killed him.

When he died, his only sister happened to be by his side. She was frightened, restless all day long, and suffered from heart palpitations.The emperor took pity on her when she was just an eight-year-old girl, and sent her to Hanshan Temple on the outskirts of the capital to recuperate.Master Xuanci, the abbot of Hanshan Temple, is an eminent monk with excellent medical skills. After years of conditioning, her health has improved.This time the Queen's birthday, she will return to the palace from Hanshan Temple.

Although the emperor dotes on Concubine Li very much, the position of empress has not been shaken at all.Even for her sake, the emperor has kept the position of the crown prince vacant, and has not established a crown prince for ten years.

The queen has no children, and almost all the princes in the palace want to recognize the queen as their mother, of course, except for Rong Qi, who is withdrawn and has no enterprising spirit.

The queen watched the crowd coming and going in the main hall in boredom, got up suddenly, and walked towards the side hall, a group of court ladies hurriedly followed behind.

"There's no need to follow, I want to walk alone."

The maids hurriedly retreated.

The queen was walking alone in the corridors of the palace, and two people came laughing and playing in the distance.

"Your Majesty, come and chase me, Your Majesty—"

"Aifei, slow down, slow down."

Needless to say, it was her good husband, and the famous concubine Li Fei in the palace.

Concubine Li played a game of chasing each other with the emperor as lightly as a butterfly, and stopped immediately when she saw the queen in a blink of an eye.

"The concubine pays her respects to the empress."

The emperor followed behind panting, and also saw the queen.

"I'm so exhausted, oh my waist... Queen, why did you come out?"

The queen looked at him.

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

The emperor glanced at Concubine Li.

"Aifei, you go to the main hall first."

Concubine Li pouted her mouth, like this every time.

Seeing that she was unhappy, the emperor quickly coaxed her.

"I'll come to accompany you when I'm done."

Concubine Li reluctantly backed down, and before leaving, she glanced at the queen jealously, but she saw that the queen's eyes were very strange, it didn't seem like anger, contempt or dissatisfaction, but rather—sympathy?

This woman is really annoying, she looks at me with that strange look every time.

The queen looked at the emperor seriously.

"Your Majesty, Le'er is back."

The emperor sighed, "Empress, what are you worried about?"

"Your Majesty knows what my concubine is worried about."

"Ayuan, Le'er's memory of that incident has been completely erased. Are you still worried about what I will do to her?"

"Your Majesty's cruelty, I have experienced it before."

"Ayuan—" the emperor took a step forward.

"Even though other people's lives have never been in my eyes, you should know how I treat you."

When he said this, the majesty of the emperor was faintly revealed in the peace, without the faint look when he was playing with Concubine Li just now.

The queen took a step back, avoiding the hand extended by the emperor.

Yuan'an Emperor Rong Yi's expression darkened, he retracted his hand, and said leisurely.

"What happened that day, I had no choice but to. I won't touch Le'er, so don't worry."

"As long as His Majesty remembers what he said today."

The Queen saluted him.

"Chen and concubine retire."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Why should I go?"

Rong Qi frowned and asked the eunuch who sent the message.

"The emperor ordered that all the princes must attend the empress's birthday banquet."

The little eunuch replied.

"Okay, I see."

He chose the identity of Rong Qi because he didn't want to participate in the messy political struggles of Xiqi country.He is now exhausted to deal with a persistent god, how can he have time to care about these ordinary things.

Besides, for some reason, he searched all over the capital, but couldn't find Kuang Lu's reincarnation. Obviously he could sense that Mermaid Tears was nearby. Why?

In the past two days, this feeling seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Mother, this is the gold-threaded white butterfly wearing a flowered cloud satin skirt that my son specially found for your birthday. Mother, please take a look..."

The third prince Rong Xin was about to show off endlessly, but he heard the empress speak indifferently.

"Very good, you are very filial, I accept it."

He didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

Rong Xin had no choice but to back down, knowing that his effort was wasted again this time.

Each prince presented his birthday gifts one by one, and finally, it was Rong Qi's turn.

Rong Qi stepped forward bravely and took out an ordinary small porcelain bottle.

"This is the rootless water collected by the son and minister for the mother. It is the best for making tea. I hope the mother will accept it with a smile."

Rong Xin almost burst out laughing beside him.

Such a shabby gift, Rong Qi can also take it?

Rootless water is a method of water extraction. It is cheap to do it according to the time, place, and specific conditions. It is carried out in the open air and does not make it fall to the ground. Some people take the water of the first snow and the water of the morning dew, and some people specialize in plum groves and take plum petals. The snow, melted into water, is stored in tanks, buried deep in the ground, and used for cooking tea in the coming year.

Rong Xin contemptuously thought, no matter how nice the words are, they are nothing more than rainwater that costs nothing.

Rong Qi was also very helpless at this time.

As long as he is willing, he can get gifts even if they are thousands of times more expensive, but he originally lived in this palace to hide his identity, so how can he act in a public manner?

Besides, with Rong Qi's real situation, if he got a good gift, it would be suspicious.

It's just that I hope that the empress won't be offended because the gift is too shameful. This would be counterproductive.

Sure enough, the empress, who had been expressionless all this time, glanced at the gift and opened her mouth with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Qi'er's gift is really thoughtful..."

Before the words finished, a beautiful female voice came from outside the door.

"Empress, my daughter thinks that Brother Wu Huang's gift is really thoughtful, and it's more innovative than those tacky jewelry, calligraphy and paintings."

I saw a woman coming in style, dressed in a light blue flowery palace dress, covered with a layer of white tulle, black jade-like green silk was simply tied up in a flying fairy bun, and a few plump and round pearls adorned her hair at will. In the meantime, a sky blue bracelet lay casually on her wrist, making her skin white as snow.

She saluted everyone in the hall one by one.

"Father, mother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother."

A smile finally appeared on the queen's serious face.

"My Rongle is back."

Rong Xin glanced at Rong Qi who was stunned beside him.

What a fool who has never seen the world, probably because he was frightened by the queen's appearance just now.

At this time, Rong Qi only stared at the sky blue bracelet on Rong Le's hand.

Mermaid Tears!

Brother Five Emperors.

He really chose a good identity for himself.

Rong Qi wants to cry but has no tears.
