Concubine like a house

Chapter 202 Extra Story: Concubine's heart is like a journey, gathering and dispersing silently (5)
With heavy steps, there is only one threshold, which condenses all her courage and determination.When a lotus foot finally stepped out, she knew that there was no turning back in this life.

All the love and hate about Mrs. Chuxiu started from Yunfu and ended in Yunfu.The ten years, the beginning and the end, created the most profound, the most ups and downs, and the most brilliant period of her life.

From now on, it will be etched in memory forever.

There are too many gratitude and reluctance, and it is difficult to express them in thousands of words.Looking back, the cold door plaque and the tall and muscular gate left an indelible rut.Starting today, draw the dividing line in her life.

When getting on the sedan chair, Chuxiu thought of the fox-fur cloak, and suddenly felt a little subtle in his heart.If it was just a cloak, how could Mrs. Tai deliver it on purpose?

"Yue Wan, bring that package, it was given by Mrs. Tai just now." Chuxiu stepped into the sedan chair, opened the curtain and ordered.

Yue Wan smiled when she heard the words: "The maidservant was going to send the cloak to wear."

"No need, give it to me." Chuxiu reached out to take it.

Yue Wan lightened her hand, shrugged her shoulders, and took advantage of the situation to get on the sedan chair.

The sound of firecrackers sounded again, and the mighty guard of honor and send-off team occupied the entire Yanlan City. It was an unprecedented wedding event.

Yue Wan lifted the curtain of the car to look at the boundless crowd, and said with a smile, "That's not all the dowry, there are some valuables, and Zhu Ying has ordered them to be sent away a few days in advance."

But at this time, Chuxiu didn't listen to Yue Wan's words. She unwrapped the beautifully bound package with her bare hands, only to find that the fox fur in it was unusual--the fiery red fox fur, without any color, and the tentacles were soft and soft, absolutely extraordinary Taste.

Suddenly, Chuxiu remembered a rumor: When Cheng Wang Nie Peixiao was 20 years old, he once hunted two firefoxes in the outskirts of the imperial city.At that time, his father, Emperor Nie, was overjoyed when he heard it, and felt that it was auspicious from heaven, and even praised Nie Peixiao.

And this fox fur cloak... Could it be a gift from Nie Peixiao?Is this fiery red color for her to wear when she worships?

Chuxiu took advantage of the situation to shake the fox fur away, but saw a piece of emerald green jade flute slipping out of it, and just landed on Chuxiu's leg.She remembered that this jade flute was the time when the Marquis of Wenchang's residence was executed, and that she had "bribed" a gift to Nie Peixiao, asking him to recommend Shen Yudai as an official.Going around and going around, today it is back in my hands.

When the thoughts were filled with thoughts, the wedding sedan chair was slowly lifted and moved forward.Chuxiu held the jade flute in his hand and looked at it silently for a while, then folded it back into the fox fur, and put it away silently.

The noise of firecrackers outside was loud, and the guard of honor who sent off the relatives kept drumming.However, for some reason, Chuxiu seemed to hear a flute sound faintly, and the song played was "Zhu Xian Duan".

It's probably an auditory hallucination!At this moment, she has no intention of pursuing the source of the song, it seems that this vague feeling of bosom friend finally has an imperfect ending.

But sometimes, the beauty of regret is the most touching.

At least in Xiuxiu's heart, it is extremely complete.

In this life, the bosom friend with Nie Peixiao, the affection with Shen Yu, and the deep-seated love with Yun Ci have already made her die without regrets.

Time is like sand, life is like a dream.The fleeting time is still the same, and the mind is as calm as ever.

Yunci, let's meet in the next life.

[-]. The law of safety and security in the world
In the same year when she left Xiu and remarried, on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, Empress Zhuang Xiaoran gave birth as scheduled and gave birth to a princess.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year, Concubine Dan accidentally gave birth prematurely, giving birth to the prince one month ahead of schedule.

When the news came, Nie Peihan, the god-given emperor, had a subtle expression—as if he had raised his mind, and as if he had let out a long sigh of relief.

Cen Jiang knew that Empress Zhuang Xiaoran gave birth to a princess in this birth, which stabilized the relationship between the emperor and the Zhuang family, and made the empress and empress more harmonious.Just imagine if the empress gave birth to a prince, her natal family Zhuang would definitely take the opportunity to request that the child be crowned prince, and then the Zhuang family would become bigger and bigger, and maybe it would become a problem for relatives, and it would not be a problem to become the second Nie family. It can be seen.

But now that the queen has no prince under her knees, she can only be passive, either waiting for another child, or pinning her hopes on Concubine Dan to bring her son over to raise her.

Before that, the Zhuang family would not act rashly.

Perhaps the heart of an emperor is always so unpredictable.When he was diving into the dragon, King Mu Nie Peihan was able to share the joys and sorrows with his subjects; but once he sat on the dragon chair, he had to think a lot, and even the closest people had to be wary, suspicious, and even drifted away.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Xuan and Luan Su really had the foresight to choose to leave early.

Exiting at the right time and leaving a lifetime of thoughts is better than looking at each other for a long time and killing friendship.

On the night of Danxin giving birth, the emperor came to Lingxi Palace to visit her.

"I made you suffer." Emperor Tianshou looked at the pale face on the couch, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Although Danxin is weak at the moment and her eyelashes are full of tears, her mind is clear anyway, her lips parted slightly and she replied: "The concubine would rather... be a daughter..."

At the same time as he said these words, Danxin's eyes began to fill with tears again.These are not tears of pain during childbirth, but knowing that their mother and child will be separated soon.A piece of flesh that fell off from one's own body has to be kept under the lap of others from now on. This kind of pain can only be experienced by a mother.

How could Emperor Tianshou not know the meaning of indifference?He couldn't bear to say anything more.At this moment, the queen is depressed and blames herself for giving birth to a daughter, but Danxin is just the opposite, she will feel sad for giving birth to a prince...

At this moment, the tears of innocence, together with those words, have been cast into sharp knives, cutting across the emperor's heart one by one...

If Zhuang Xiaoran gives birth to a prince in the future, will the indifferent child be offended?Will the two brothers fight?
Suddenly, the face of Queen Mother Ye appeared in his mind!The kind of expressions that are sometimes kind, sometimes calculating, and sometimes resentful, one after another, it's as if the Empress Dowager Ye herself is right in front of his eyes!
No!There must never be another Ye Yingfei in this palace!An indifferent child can't become another Nie Qi or Nie Jiu!

If Danxin dies before her, it's better to say something, but if she takes a step first, how will she face this lonely palace after a hundred years?Will the Zhuang family make things difficult for her?How should she and her child deal with each other?

Asked three times in a row, no answer.However, Emperor Tianshou knows that there is a way to prevent all hidden dangers from happening...

He thought about it for a long time, and he felt more and more that this method is feasible, and it can achieve multiple results in one fell swoop.So, he took the initiative to hold Danxin's cold catkin, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, our son, I have my own arrangements."

Danxin didn't seem to understand, there was no ups and downs on his face, instead he closed his eyes and replied: "The concubine is tired and wants to sleep for a while."

Hearing this, Emperor Tianshou felt helpless, so he had no choice but to let go of his indifferent hand, and said again in a low voice: "I have experienced the dangers of the court since I was a child, and brothers and sisters fought each other with their lives..."

Speaking of this, he saw that Danxin still closed his eyes and remained silent, so he continued: "In fact, children are more expensive than fine ones, and I don't want my children to repeat the same mistakes."

At this point, Danxin seemed to realize something.She opened her eyes again, looked sideways at Emperor Tianshou, and asked hesitantly: "You mean..."

"What I mean is that the child must be raised in Fengchao Palace." Emperor Tianshou promised word by word, "He will be the crown prince."

"Holy Majesty!" Danxin was shocked when he heard the words, and his emotions became agitated in an instant, and he tried to stand up, "No! No! I don't want to!"

"Why?" The emperor pressed her down with one hand, and asked with a frown, "You don't want such honor?"

Danxin bit her lips, her words were filled with tears: "I... just want him to grow up in peace."

"As the heir of the royal family, there is no safe place except for the dragon chair." Emperor Tianshou replied in one go.

Although Danxin was lying down, she didn't care about her weakness at this moment, she shook her head desperately and said: "No! If this child is established as the crown prince, he will definitely be at odds with his siblings, and the empress will also..."

"What will happen?" The Heavenly Granted Emperor lowered his phoenix eyes, and his eyes flashed, "The queen won't do anything to him."

This sentence is extremely cryptic, but the meaning in the words makes one's heart palpitate.Danxin was afraid that she had guessed wrong, but also hoped that she had guessed right, her clear eyes widened fiercely, and she asked the emperor silently.

"You guessed right." Emperor Tianshou tucked in the quilt for his innocence, and replied in a deep voice, "This is the best way. It will not only protect you from worries for the rest of your life, but also prevent the Zhuang family from getting bigger."

He paused, and then said: "My family, Nie, started from a relative, so I understand the troubles of relatives better. One Ming family is enough, I don't want to see another one."

"My lord..." Danxin still couldn't believe it, and begged in a low voice, "Is there no other way? The Empress is not that kind of person."

"I believe that the queen is not, and neither is Zhuang Xiang. But I can't guarantee what the descendants of the Zhuang family will be." Emperor Tianshou smiled charmingly and continued to comfort Danxin, "Although the child is raised under the empress' knees, blood is thicker than water , he must be close to you. From now on, the Zhuang family will depend on you to live, if the empress changes her mind, even if I let her go, our child will not spare her lightly."

"That being said...but now I am the daughter of the Tang family." Dan Xin was still worried, "Aren't you afraid that the Tang family will rise with the trend and become the second Ming family?"

"No. The Tang family has followed the etiquette for generations, and has no real power in their hands." Emperor Tianshou said very firmly, "What's more, with the Zhuang family and the Yun family in front, the Tang family cannot rise."

Even though the words have been clearly stated, Dan Xin still refuses to let go.The emperor knew that she couldn't digest it for a while, and said: "You are from the Yun family, and I also want to prevent someone from using this matter to make a big fuss, and even prevent the Yun family from putting pressure on you and using your child to achieve something. Give the child to The empress' raising is the best choice for you, me, and the empress."

"My lord..." Dan Xin still wanted to persuade her again.

"You are a child, don't worry too much. Don't rush these things at this time." The emperor comforted him softly, pondered for a while, and then said, "Our child is called 'Wangling'."

"Wangling?" Danxin murmured.

"Forgotten Forgotten, Lingkong Ling." The emperor's charming face softened a little, and all the slyness and madness of the past disappeared without a trace. Yun'."

This short sentence made Danxin burst into tears immediately: "Your Majesty..." She whispered this voice, which was unprecedentedly joyful and moved.

"What? The name doesn't sound good?" The emperor asked with a smile, his eyes were gentle and long.

"No, no! The concubine is crying with joy!" Dan Xin raised her hand to wipe away the tears, "It's just that the name...we are the 'Da Ling Dynasty', but the child is called 'Wang Ling', is it wrong?"

"Who dares to say that the name I named is inappropriate?"

On February [-]th, Emperor Tianshou held a grand banquet in Yingyuan Palace to celebrate Prince Wangling's full moon, and publicly proposed that the prince be handed over to the queen to be raised.

It was night, and the Heavenly Emperor stayed in Fengchao Palace.

The empress and the empress had a long talk, and the empress blamed herself for not having a child, and felt guilty for raising Prince Wangling.

Emperor Tianshou then comforted him: "I said that the heirs are not in a hurry, just regenerate in the future."

The queen sighed softly, and replied: "You let the concubine raise two children, but the concubine Dan's palace is very deserted, how can the concubine feel sorry for it? If you don't send the princess to the concubine Lingxi palace to accompany concubine Dan, you how about?"

The emperor was noncommittal: "You decide."

Although the queen was reluctant to part with her daughter, she felt relieved when she saw the emperor's attitude, and she couldn't help asking cautiously: "Now the prince has a name, but the princess doesn't have one yet. The concubine has boldly drawn up a few names to choose from, please ask The Holy One decides."

"Let's hear it." Emperor Tianshou didn't seem to be very interested.

"One is 'Xiao Luan', the other is 'Su Xin', and the other is 'Ning Shuang'. I wonder which one do you like?" The queen's tone was extremely cautious, and her intention of probing couldn't be more obvious.

Xiao Luan, Su Xin, Ning Shuang... Tian Shudi raised his phoenix eyes slightly, and remained silent for a long while.

Seeing this, the queen quickly explained: "The concubine has no other intentions, it's just..."

"I don't blame you." The emperor's words were indifferent, "'Su Xin' conflicts with Dan Concubine's boudoir name, 'Shuang Ning' is too delicate, so it should be the first one."

The first one is Xiao Luan.
