Chitose words

Chapter 90
The fragility between Bai Guifei's eyebrows almost overflowed her pupils, she turned her head and looked up at Wei Emperor, as if she wanted to seek the protection and favor of the emperor, but this time, she was doomed to be disappointed.

Emperor Wei pondered for a moment, without even looking at her, but said slowly: "What Zhao Zhao said is absolutely true. The queen is newly mourned, and scandalous events should be tabooed in the palace within a year.

Since the prince has no concubine and the queen mother has been dead for many years, the goddess of Shentai Palace has always been respected in Tianchen. If Zhaozhao is willing, the goddess will preside over the funeral ceremony of the queen. This is in line with the rules and etiquette.Presumably, the person who officiated at the funeral was Zhao Zhao, and Ah Wan would have been happy and happy. "

Siblings Fu Jingci and Fu Jingyan glanced at their father subconsciously. They seemed a little surprised that under the circumstances, Emperor Wei's voice was actually a somewhat lost "Awan".

Emperor Fu Shang attaches great importance to imperial dignity, and most of the time he calls Queen Xie Wan as "Queen". Even when he was deeply affectionate, he just called her "Zitong" in private and intimately.

Even Fu Jingci, the daughter of Fu Jingci, is not sure. The "Prince Fu Shang", which was very popular that time and shocked Zhaoge and was passed down by the people orally, ignored the propriety and spent a lot of money to light [-] lanterns on the Lantern Festival. The rumor in the market that he smiled for Miss Xie of the Xie family in Bo Xunyang is a political game that her father carefully planned when he was still a prince, or is it really the result of his admiration for her mother, Xie Wan, a young boy in Anhui, who is deeply in love and can't help it? Your own sincere act?

In the world of red tape and etiquette that is as smelly and long as an old lady's foot-binding cloth, children are not allowed to speak about the rights and wrongs of their parents.

But Fu Jingci has never been the kind of daughter who follows the rules through and through, and he doesn't pay much attention to the "etiquette" that these so-called women must stick to.

She grew up practicing the art of externalization next to Feng Zhi, the high priest who was a flying immortal and a celestial being outside the Shentai Palace. She also practiced Hetu swordsmanship with Xie Lin of Shangzhu Kingdom and three uncles who were warriors on the battlefield.

In fact, compared to those royal princesses who walked in and out of the inner courtyard of the palace with servants and servants, and their gestures were graceful and delicate, Fu Jingci's temperament was more like that of the windy, unrestrained heroes of the rivers and lakes.

So sometimes she would wonder why her father and mother had such a strange, unpredictable, distant, and inseparable way of getting along with each other.
That's right, when Fu Jingci's grandfather Xie Lin and the three heroes of the Xie family were still alive, she once secretly overheard her grandfather coming to the palace to visit her mother and seriously asking Queen Xie if she was willing to reconcile with her father, Emperor Wei.

The Xie family is not afraid of having an abolished queen who will affect the family's reputation, nor is it afraid of being judged and judged by the world.

The old Shangzhuguo spoke loudly: Ah Wan, Daddy and your three elder brothers are brave enough to die for the country and the people, and lick blood for the dynasty all their lives. Could it be that you, the only daughter of the Xie clan, can't be exchanged? Is my mother's life going smoothly?Leave the rest to Daddy and your brothers if you want.

Fu Jingci clearly remembered that it seemed that her father and mother were already a little cold and alienated at that time, and even her father began to dote on the concubine Bai every day, even on such important days as the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. She cared so much about the face of the empress in the palace that her grandfather and uncles even heard about it.

But the strange thing is that Queen Xie rejected Xie Lin's suggestion from Shangzhu Kingdom and insisted on staying in the inner courtyard of the palace and continuing to be the mother of a country like the Bodhisattva statue on the altar, without sorrow or joy.

When I was a child, I didn't understand Fu Jingci. I just thought that my mother was trying to protect her and her brother's so-called "direct descendants from the middle palace" from being shaken by others, so that's why she wronged herself so much.

That's why she redoubled her efforts, hoping that she could grow up quickly and become the support of her mother and younger brother.

Then, it was her turn to protect her queen mother and younger brother.

By then, the queen mother would no longer need to compromise. She knew that the queen mother missed the ancestral home in Xunyang that she often talked about.

She hasn't been back for many years.

But later, when Fu Jingci got older, he was not so sure about his original hypothesis.

Is the queen mother really only doing it for her and her younger brother's dignity?

But obviously her mother, Empress Xie, would look at her with heartache every time she saw her, saying that she was fine, and advised her daughter to relax, not to have such deep obsessions, and not to embarrass herself so much.

Fu Jingci has been a child with excellent memory and photographic memory since childhood.

In the depths of her memory, the words that her mother Xie Wan once said to her when she was the president are the words that are still fresh in her memory: "Zhao Zhao, everyone in this world and this dynasty has high hopes for you." , but my mother is not. I only hope that you grow up safely, happy and healthy. The small character 'Zhaozhao' was chosen by your mother for you. Others mistakenly think that 'Zhao' is taken from 'Zhaoge', but it is actually 'Zhaoru Rixing' The 'Zhao'.

——I only hope that in the future, no matter how the universe rotates and the world changes, you will be like the sun, moon and stars hanging high, never dying and decaying, and blooming your splendor forever. "

Six-year-old Fu Jingci curiously asked his mother——

"Empress, what should the minister's splendor be like?"

That year, the 25-year-old Empress Xie was like a peony in full bloom, with a gentle and beautiful smile, looking at her daughter's pupils like a warm spring.

She sighed softly, "As long as you feel boundless happiness every day, it is already very rare. Mother, I hope that the splendor of Zhaozhao depends on your heart and your happiness."

The little girl was very confused at that time.

She had heard that the imperial concubine privately ordered her concubine, Princess Taiping, to improve herself, strive for success, and become the most dignified and decent noble daughter in Zhaoge City.Doesn't the queen mother need her to be so outstanding?

Care about your heart.

It's about having fun.

"As long as. Is that so?"

Is it that simple?

The young queen nodded solemnly to her ignorant little daughter, "As long as that's the case."

She laughed: Silly child, when you grow up, you will know that being happy every day is the most difficult and rare thing in this world.

Princess Tianchen, who is five or six years old, seems to understand.

13-year-old Fu Jingci now understands the painstaking efforts of his mother as a mother.

Although during the reign of Emperor Wei, most of his concubines were beauties who were well-known in their boudoirs, in fact Emperor Wei did not pay much attention to beauty, there were not many women in the palace, and there were very few famous concubines.

It seemed that except for Concubine Bai Guifei, who was quite fond of him and was often called by the emperor's maiden name "Xi'er", other women in the harem, even Queen Xie Wan, were rarely called by the emperor's maiden name.

Presumably, it was because of these special "preferential treatment" that Concubine Bai was very happy since she entered the palace.

Concubine Bai, who was born in the Bai family, a top aristocratic family in Tianchen, believed that her background was not much worse than the queen Xie Wan, who was from the Xie family in Xunyang, so how could she be willing to be a concubine for the rest of her life?

That's right, who said that the emperor's concubines are not concubines?
