Qingchuan History

Chapter 933 Be cautious
Ruan Xueyin stepped through the gate of Chengze Palace, and all the people were waiting for her.

Seeing that His Royal Highness had returned safely, Bi Tao shouted joyfully and stepped forward to help her. Tang Li's face was ashen ashes at a glance, she was startled, and she stopped in embarrassment.

"What are you doing here? Today's Tianlong Festival, is everything in the hall cleaned up?"

No one dared to regard today as the same Tianchang Festival as in the past, so no one regarded cleaning up the palace as the first priority.

But when Sister Tangli spoke, His Highness had nothing to say, they dared not disobey, and scattered like birds and beasts.

"The maidservant accompanied His Highness to rest inside."

"Hasn't Su Wanwan been here?" Ruan Xueyin responded and asked a nearby palace servant.

"Return to Your Highness, I was here just now, but you are not here, so I left again."

"Holding a tray with a cup on it?"

The palace servants were not surprised that His Highness was always unpredictable, so he still blinked, "Yes."

"Go to the Tai Le Department and send a message to ask her to warm up the things and send them to Mingluan Hall to hand over to Di Yan."

The palace people didn't dare to respond, so they looked at Tangli.

"Your Majesty, I'm not going out now. What are you afraid of?" Ruan Xueyin said impatiently, "Go quickly."

Tangli didn't stop her, the worst had already happened after all, "Let's go, Your Highness." She just helped Ruan Xueyin to steady herself and wanted to accompany her back to her bedroom.

"I'm so bored in the house, just sit on the porch, let me see the flowers, blow the wind, and listen to the birdsong."

These words were really magnanimous, as magnanimous as last words, Tangli didn't like to hear them, so she let go in a fit of anger, and went to arrange tables, chairs and meals.

There are not as many flowers in Chengze Hall as in Zhexue Hall, and verdant tall trees are more eye-catching than dotted flowers.Ruan Xueyin sat down and raised her eyes, lamenting that Xia Jing was whirling, and ate a few more orange cakes after a while, and then remembered the scene of Jing Tingge entering the Qi Palace, having a secret talk with Shangguan concubine in the Zhuyu Palace, and coming out to eat orange cakes.

The voice was in her ears, as real as yesterday, she missed her a little.

Since her thoughts started to rise, she couldn't continue to let go, so she continued to think about whether everything that should be arranged had been arranged.During this period, the sun became darker and darker, until the setting sun was like blood, and Gu Xinglang appeared outside the gate.

At this time, it was supposed to be a banquet.

When the time came, the queen didn't leave, and everyone felt strange; seeing the emperor returned, they were sure that the banquet had been cancelled, and became even more disturbed, as only the evening warbler was left in the entire courtyard of Chengze Palace.

Ruan Xueyin stood up, Gu Xinglang took a step forward, and the two met in the middle of tall trees and flowers.

The queen knelt down, bowed her head, and said nothing.

Your Majesty just looked at her without saying a word.

Diyan signaled, and Tangli quietly ordered everyone to retreat.

"You are satisfied." Fang Ting Gu Xinglang said, "This is what you gave me, a birthday present."

"Your Majesty knows what your ministers and concubines are doing, so it's the best policy." Ruan Xueyin replied.

Gu Xinglang squatted down and lifted her chin, neither light nor heavy, just trying to speak sincerely for the eyes to meet, "Mine is the best policy, barely getting the best of both worlds. Yours is called the destruction of jade and stone."

"The policy of courtiers and concubines is to burn stones into jade."

"You are a stone, and the throne is jade?"

"Children's love is stone, and future career is jade. Both ministers and emperors read the books of sages and cherish the wishes of mountains and rivers. They have agreed from the beginning that if one day the two conflict, they should abandon the car and protect the handsome."

It was the "beginning" of Jinghong's six years, in Zhexue Hall, at the round table, of course Gu Xinglang remembered it.

"That's your opinion, I don't agree with it." He let go of her face.

"Your Majesty agrees. So I took the box of epiphyllum and left, and I didn't show up again for a long time. It's a pity that I didn't know that I was in the game for half my life, and I didn't know that I would be able to leave the game if I left the palace. The deeper the entanglement with the king, until we went to the abyss together."

The Caibei mica on the outer wall of Chengze Hall is like a white sun star in the sunset, shining strangely.

"You call our five years an abyss?"

"For love, it is a dream; for you and the country, it is indeed an abyss." Ruan Xueyin looked into his eyes, "It is undeniable that this game of chess has also helped you accomplish many things, helping the countries change and paving the way for the unification of Qi , because we have indeed put in too much effort, hardship, and sacrifice during this period."

She knelt and took a step forward, getting closer to him,

"How can you give up after walking like this? As a counselor, I can't let you stop here for innocuous reasons! You won't lose, and you won't lose according to my strategy. If you abdicate, you will lose , and their wishes were fulfilled!"

Gu Xinglang looked at her for a long time, the light and shadow in his eyes changing again and again.

"You have never been an insignificant reason to me. You know it. I will empty the harem to change the tradition for an insignificant reason. When I thought you were Yuwen Empress, I still had no grievances. No matter what, I will register you as the middle palace. To advance and retreat hand in hand with you, to make a white-headed promise?!"

"Thank you, my concubine, for your great love!" Ruan Xueyin lowered her eyes and shook her voice, "Concubine, it's not worth it!"

"Ruan Xueyin!" Gu Xinglang finally couldn't hold back, his chest heaved, his pupils were quenched, and he said word by word:

"Do you really want to. After what you said to me, after we've—"

"The concubine is wrong! The concubine should not have said to a king that there is a pair for a lifetime, and he should not let the emperor vacate the harem and let the royal family's incense wither. The principles of this world cannot be both one and the other! Good! It's not too late, Junshang has just stepped into his prime, and he will meet many beauties who will overwhelm the country, and the garden will be full of spring, and he will open up Gu Qi's prosperous age and achieve decades of imperial career!"

Gu Xinglang has always known that she is very eloquent, and he can't win if they really quarrel.

But still hearing these words, thousands of arrows pierced his heart, and it took a long time before he gritted his teeth and replied: "I don't want others. I said it a long time ago, I only want you, and I only want you in my life."

The tip of his nose was red, which Ruan Xueyin had never seen before, and his eye sockets were sore and swollen, he lowered his head to cover it up, and kept his voice cold.

"Your Majesty is the language of spirit, it is the language of the moment. Your Majesty liked Mrs. Yu when he was young, but later on he didn't—"

"You're different from her! You're different from everyone else! How many times do I have to say it and how many things prove it!" Gu Xinglang's eyes were also red, and he was about to bleed.
"I understand, I understand. You always minded, minded that I let go of my thoughts on others before I met you. You didn't say it at the time, and you were not jealous or annoyed. You just waited for this day, waiting for me to say goodbye to you. When you are helpless and hopeless, leave me and take revenge on me!"

"If this analysis can make the king feel more relieved, the concubine will admit it."

"What an admission!" Gu Xinglang trembled angrily, "I haven't seen you. I haven't seen you before I was 20 years old! What do you want me to do? How do I know that there is still you in this world? After I know you, I will I can't see anyone else anymore! It's unfair to me that you settle accounts like this!"

What has it to do with these?Ruan Xueyin knew that he was angry and confused, but she was not, not so confused that she could use such angry words.

"Your Majesty, I have met my concubine. In Suoning, it rained lightly in spring, and the back door of the favorite building, the concubine dropped the book, and the concubine reminded the concubine to pick it up. At that time, you and I were only teenagers, and the concubine at that time It is a passer-by in Junshang’s youth. The beginning of the world is like a prophecy. In the past five years, Junshang has also been a minister and concubine. You are a passer-by before you entered your prime. It will be a good death." She took two steps back, prostrated herself with a long body,

"Junshang is a young man, and it is not easy to come to where he is today. Since he has ideals for the world, he must not forget his original intention, and be as cautious as the beginning!"

The atrium is empty, the sun is setting and the moon is rising, and the long wind seems to come from the ancient times, blowing the trees and flowers.

Diyan and Tangli separated things, looking at the gradually diffuse moonlight on the ground, they all knew that the moon was full tonight, but they didn't want to look up to admire it.

People don't last long, so what's the use of having a full moon?

"I will be as cautious as the beginning." Gu Xinglang said, "But I won't trade you for it."

"Your Majesty is wrong to think this way. The king decides everything in the world, but not everything is done by the king. The reason why the ministers exist is to be the hand of the king at the right time and act on behalf of the king. This is not an exchange, it is The way of the monarch and ministers!"

"You are my wife, my beloved, not a courtier!" Gu Xinglang gnashed his teeth, "Sometimes I really wish you were just the most ordinary girl, without so many thoughts and plans, and many problems only have one kind." Solution, my solution."

Ruan Xueyin raised her eyes, curled the corners of her mouth and smiled shallowly, "Wanwan is such a girl, kind, gentle, meticulous, and infatuated with Junshang. Give it a try and take a look at her, you will find that life is long, and you will never forget her." No one has to do it. Ten, 20, or 50 years from now, when your majesty thinks about his concubines, it will only be a period of time when he was in his twenties. There will be more and better time to overshadow it. By then, your majesty Then you will understand that it is worthwhile to choose at this moment. But if your lord abdicates today, you will regret it many years later!"

She prayed again,
"A person only takes one trip in his life. At a fork in the road, he must make the best choice. The choice of a concubine is also the best choice for a counselor: assist the Ming Lord, achieve his great cause, and fight for the world. Haiyan Heqing!"

There was a sound outside the wall, it was the imperial guard's performance, piercing the silence here suddenly.

Diyan went out to answer, standing still for too long, her legs were numb, she came back after a while, and walked to the two people:

"My lord, the ministers and workers are still waiting in the Mingluan hall."

Waiting for the imperial decree to deal with the central palace.

Gu Xinglang was still looking at the back of Ruan Xueyin lying on the ground, the blue silk winding down along the phoenix embroidery on the jade white brocade robe, dripping into the clear moonlight.

"The empress has lost her morality. She should be imprisoned in Chengze Hall first to reflect on her mistakes, and then she will be punished."

"Your Majesty's punishment is equivalent to no punishment." Ruan Xueyin said softly.

Gu Xinglang sneered, "Then what do you do? Do you have to go to prison?"

Ruan Xueyin knew that even if he listened to the persuasion, it would be difficult for him to act immediately, so she thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, lock your concubines into the Youlan Palace."

When Chunfeng and Ji Qi appeared outside Fu'an Gate on July [-], the situation of the whole country had changed.

Because the queen pleaded guilty and the emperor punished, the well-prepared voices were not as loud as before, but the wave of solidarity with the middle palace went straight into the blue sky.

"My people in Daqi are much more discerning." Entering the city, Gu Chunfeng rode his horse slowly.

"The heart of those in power is right, the heart of the people is right, and the country's style is right. The king has ruled for ten years, and the queen leads the women and children. No matter how strong the rebellion against the people is, it will only last for a while." Ji Qi was half a horse behind, with his face on his face. The stubble adds to the vicissitudes of life.

"Can this be the end of it?"

"I don't know."

Chunfeng looked back at him, "The Prime Minister's Mansion has been confiscated, you can enter the palace with me."

Ji Qi nodded, "I have to ask the saint to ask for my sin."

"You can't face the saint like this." Gu Chunfeng thought for a while, "Go to the Hussar General's Mansion, I will shave you and change your clothes."

The plaque of General Hussar's Mansion has been replaced with "Great General's Mansion".

The hundred-year-old family fell apart, and the Chai family in Jidu stood out. After the turmoil, it was time to employ people, and this plaque was very suitable for the occasion.

Ji Qi only glanced at it, and quickly lowered his eyes.Chunfeng patted him on the back, "Even Brother Nine admits that you have made merit, so there is no need to be so inferior."

Chai Yiyao welcomed the two of them into the mansion, and ordered them to prepare water and clothes according to Chunfeng's wishes.Chunfeng was worried, and went to pick out Ji Qi's outfit by himself, and Chai Yiyao accompanied Ji Qi in the guest room. After a while, he mustered up his courage and said:
"The Prime Minister's Mansion was confiscated as a prison. I have been thinking about where you went. I asked my father and brother, and they also said they didn't know. I thought they didn't tell me on purpose."

Ji Qi was a little lost in thought, as if he heard it after a while, he bowed his hands to Chai Yiyao, "I'm sorry."

Chai Yiyao didn't expect him to talk so little now, he was very alienated, his back was straight but he looked haggard, sad in his heart, he spoke for a while and then said:

"I told my father and brother that no matter how the king sends you, as long as you are alive, the marriage contract will remain the same. When you get married, you have the final say, and I will listen to you."

This engagement has been around for a long time, but it has never been formalized.Ji Qi was stunned and was thinking about how to answer when Chunfeng walked in and said that hot water was ready and asked him to wash.

There were only two girls left in the room, and Chai Yiyao wanted to ask where they had been these days, Chunfeng said first: "Sorry, I happened to be at the door just now, and I overheard you."

Chai Yiyao was slightly stunned, but her face suddenly became hot.

"Your father and brother, don't agree."

Chai Yiyao nodded, bit her lip, "But I've made up my mind."

Chunfeng flashed back many details in the past, those details that were ignored at that time. "So you like him."

"It was fine at first." Chai Yiyao wasn't trying to be condescending, and she became acquainted with Chunfeng in the past two years, so it's okay to confide, "After he went to the northern border, he made more progress. For some reason, there was something in his heart took his place."

Chunfeng was silent for a while. "The General's Mansion is in full swing now. You are the prostitute's daughter and Chai Yinuo's sister. Your marriage is of great importance to the family. I'm afraid you won't be able to do so."

Chai Yiyao thought so deeply, and was deeply worried, and immediately remembered something, looked at Chunfeng, "Your Highness and him, the courtiers mean, you—"

The lonely men and widows acted alone more than once, and Ji Qi looked at Chunfeng clearly differently from other people.

A few nights in the north a few days ago, Gu Chunfeng's body was already hot, but his face was still as usual: "I don't know what happened to him after that. For now, I can only bring him into the palace to see the king, and try my best to plead for mercy. In my opinion, saving your life is not difficult."

Chai Yiyao nodded, "I think so too. Your Highness, please be more considerate."

The servant girl came to report that the young master of the Ji family had finished bathing, so Chunfeng naturally went there.After entering the guest room, Ji Qi got dressed and was about to shave.

"Let me do it."

She picked up the small blade, moved closer, and moved carefully with her face half up.

There have been more intimate than this, Ji Qi didn't feel awkward, only felt remorse, silently looked at her eyebrows.

"Ayao is a good girl." Chunfeng said softly.

"You heard."

"Well. If you can marry her, it will be a great thing for you. But,"

"Chai Zhan and Chai Yinuo won't agree, and it happens that I have no intentions either, and I'm not good enough for her. Xiaofeng,"

He called her that night because he couldn't help himself when he was so passionate.

At this moment, like some kind of reminder, the two of them were instantly brought back to that time. "Don't take it to heart. You love me, and you don't owe me anything." Chunfeng's hands were steady and calm.

Of course he owes her.She accompanied him day and night when he was most desperate and helpless, took care of him, comforted him, and even gave her body, but he couldn't give her a happy marriage.

Even if the emperor is willing to give him the opportunity to go to the border and start from scratch, how many years will it take before he can accumulate enough meritorious service to match the princess.

Time is fleeting, he can't selfishly let her wait for him.

And no matter how well he did, Your Majesty would never revive the Ji family.

　I finally wrote this chapter, and it was very cool, although you may not be too happy. I didn't mean it. This is the outline, and it is inevitable. Hugs.
