Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 300 Long Love (3)
"The person the emperor liked was Cui Zijing, and the person Xie Ying liked was Cui Yuwan? Because Xie Ying married Cui Yuwan. What about Prince Ying? Who does he like?" The queen looked at the princess, "I have seen that Prince Ying loves the princess very much these years. , but if you say love is deep, I am afraid there is no such thing. However, Brother Wang has always been reserved, and his thoughts are deep, so it is not easy to pry."

"Xie Ying naturally likes Cui Yuwan. Since ancient times, although people in the Zhongyonghou Mansion restrained themselves because of their wealth, they would not wrong themselves. Otherwise, how could he marry Cui Yuwan? As for Cui Yuwan, she naturally likes Xie Yuwan." Ying, Qinghe Cui's daughters are all proud and will not wrong themselves because they have been influenced by the noble lintel of poetry and etiquette since ancient times." Lin Taifei said.

"Cui Zijing doesn't like the emperor, otherwise why did she marry Prince Ying because of her arrogance?" the queen wondered.

"I'm afraid this is something you haven't figured out for many years!" Concubine Lin smiled, looked at the queen, and shook her head, "Men are different from men, and women are naturally different from each other. Cui's daughter is even more different from others. It's different. At that time, Lu Gui had a low status, but he had a deep thought. He gave birth to a son who was one in a thousand, and his intelligence and talent were all outstanding. If he didn't become the emperor, then whoever became the emperor would get rid of him first. That's very good I understand, no one who sits in that position wants to keep a brother whose reputation and talent is higher than the emperor's on the side of the couch."

"I understand that Zhongyonghou's Mansion is next to the royal family's couch." The queen nodded.

Concubine Lin sighed and continued, "The Empress Dowager Deci was loved by the late emperor, but unfortunately she gave birth to a lame son who could not inherit the throne. She was strong all her life, but she also lost to fate and could only accept her fate. , Lu Guiren and the emperor begged to be in front of the Empress Dowager Deci, wanting that position. The Empress Dowager only has one condition, which is to exchange what is important in their hearts. Lu Guiren also took a fancy to Cui Zijing at that time, and the late emperor also thought that the two men were talented and beautiful. , intends to bestow a marriage, and the emperor also has a crush on Cui Zijing. The Qinghe Cui family is married to the most talented prince in the royal family.

The queen nodded and stopped interrupting.

"However, Empress Dowager Deci put forward such a condition. At that time, for the emperor who was just young and in love, it really broke his heart." Concubine Lin recalled the past with emotion, "Back then, Empress Dowager Deci and When the emperor was discussing the marriage of Prince Ying, I was in front of me. I witnessed and heard such a thing with my own eyes. The former emperor originally disagreed, but Empress Dowager Deci said that the most outstanding prince in the royal family is the seventh prince. , but if the seventh prince can't break his heart and is determined to be ruthless, he can't take this position. A person who is not ruthless to himself will not be able to control the Southern Qin Dynasty. Think about the Xie family, think about the famous families. They all need to be checked and balanced by people with means and resolute actions."

"So, because of this, the late emperor agreed?" the queen asked.

"Yes! The late emperor agreed. The Empress Dowager Deci is extremely smart, and she will be the phoenix all her life. She won't rely on her family, but on the most proud ability of a woman, which holds the late emperor's heart. No matter how many women are in the harem, the late emperor , I love Empress Dowager Deci the most." Concubine Lin said sadly.

"Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others! Since the late emperor and Empress Dowager Deci love each other, why can't they fulfill the Seventh Prince and Cui Zijing?" The queen was puzzled.

"It is precisely because of this love that this result is the result. The seventh prince is the smartest and most talented prince, but he is not his favorite son. His favorite woman is the Empress Dowager Deci, and his favorite son is Prince Ying. It also involved the future of Jiangshan and Prince Ying's residence, how could he not agree?" Concubine Lin said.

The queen suddenly realized.

"The first emperor asked the Seventh Prince and Lu Guiren to choose in front of the empress. If Cui Zijing is chosen, he will be fulfilled, but this country cannot be taken. If Cui Zijing is not chosen, then he will be given the throne. The heir to the throne must be His." Concubine Lin said, "Because I have no children and I am the cousin of the Empress Dowager Deci, so I can witness this secret that no one except us at that time knew."

"The emperor chose the throne?" The queen's voice trembled slightly.

Concubine Lin shook her head, "After all these years, you still don't know the emperor, he chose Cui Zijing back then."

The queen was taken aback, "Then why did Cui Zijing marry Prince Ying..."

"Lu Guiren was suffering from an incurable disease at the time, but he didn't tell the truth from the emperor. When she heard that she chose Cui Zijing, she spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood she spit out was black at the time. The emperor wanted to order someone to invite the imperial physician, but Lu Guiren refused, saying Her illness has already been seen by the imperial physician quietly, and there is no cure. Why does she want the seventh prince to take the throne, because she is afraid that if she dies, her son will be tolerated by the superiors. The seventh prince is really too smart and talented , if she doesn't get the throne and doesn't have the support of her mother, then she will definitely die. Therefore, although she values ​​Cui Zijing, she still wants to keep her son the most." Concubine Lin said.

The queen thought of the Lu Guiren she saw when she entered the palace for the first time after entering Beijing. At that time, she was already seriously ill, and she didn't see how scheming a woman was at all. The reason why she could give birth to a son as smart and talented as the emperor was because she was A smart woman.

"Seeing the situation at that time, the first emperor softened his heart and wanted to help the seventh prince. But the Empress Dowager Deci shook her head and said that filial piety and fate, love and kindness complement each other. She didn't want the seventh prince to think that it was Prince Ying who gave up the country. It was he who exchanged the country with his most beloved woman. In this way, he would not have to feel that the Prince Ying's mansion had repaid his favor in the future, nor would he feel ashamed. In addition, he could cherish the country he got in exchange for the most important person, and in the future She will also treat Prince Ying well. Although one is a queen and the other is a nobleman, she and Lu Guiren are no different in front of their sons. They are both mothers. The Southern Qin Dynasty can last forever and be passed on from generation to generation. Then, this exchange of filial piety and fate, love and kindness is imperative." Concubine Lin said.

The queen was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "The Empress Dowager Deci sees clearly, which is indeed admirable. No wonder the late emperor loves her so much."

"Yes, how many people can be as good as the Empress Dowager Deci?" Dowager Lin nodded, "Later, the emperor did it for his mother, Lu Guiren, for the sake of seeing his beloved again after living, and for the little hope in his heart. , and agreed."

The queen pursed her lips and said nothing more.

"So, the country he is sitting in now contains a lot of hard work, hard work, and suffering in his heart." Concubine Lin said.

The queen looked at Concubine Lin, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "But, as I remember, the first emperor passed away, but the Empress Dowager Deci did not follow her, but did not die until three years ago. It stands to reason that after the first emperor left, , the emperor can fight again, why is he still..."

"You mean why after the late emperor left, he still respected the Empress Dowager Deci, and still loved Prince Ying's mansion? Since he was thinking about Cui Zijing, he should remember to take revenge in the past?" Dowager Lin asked.
