Chapter 168: Changes

The madam lowered her eyelids. She couldn't feel her emotions: What did you say?

I said that Empress Fang, Emperor Renzong, was Empress Yuan of Emperor Renzong, and gave birth to Emperor Xiaozong. One day, the emperor and the empress were sitting together. Because the noble concubine Hu was laughing and jealous with the emperor, they threw a cup at her. The emperor was furious and forced her to come up.

He resigned from the throne and retired to Chang'an Palace. He was given the title of Immortal Master Jingci, and his concubine Hu Guifei was appointed as his queen. He died within a year and was buried in Jinshan as a concubine. Xiaozong succeeded to the throne and wanted to bury Empress Fang in Maoling.

, but the ministers discussed that if they sacrificed the same sacrifice with Renzong, then the second queen would be the same. Xiaozong was young, and most of the major events in the court depended on Empress Hu. Xiaozong was afraid of her power, so he had to offer the Empress Fang's tablet in Fengci Hall. As for Emperor Xiaozong, Empress Chen

, because she did not agree with the Empress Dowager Hu, she was deposed as a virtuous concubine. She gave birth to two sons, one died of a sudden illness, and the other fell into the water and drowned. They were buried in Anyuan with the courtesy of a palace maid. On the other hand, Emperor Yingzong, Empress Gao, had no children.

, but with noble character, filial piety and gentleness, he raised Emperor Sejong cautiously and won the favor of the emperor. After Sejong succeeded to the throne, he was treated as his biological mother. After his death, he was honored as Empress Cheng Xiao Gong Su Ming De Hong Ren Shun Tian Qi Sheng Zhao, and was buried with Xiao Zong in Tailong.

Attached to the Ancestral Temple. The second lady said calmly, it depends on the Queen's choice whether to be buried with the emperor and attached to the Ancestral Temple or to choose a mausoleum and be buried in the Fengci Hall.

Eleven Niang took a breath of cold air.

These words are really bold, sharp and aggressive.

Her eyes couldn't help but look at Xu Lingyi.

I saw his brows frowning almost invisible.

The lady did not comment, and said calmly: What did the Queen say?

The queen didn't say anything after hearing this. The second lady looked solemn, thought for a while, and said, her face as pale as white paper, she asked about Danyang's situation and left.

Yes, I have asked everything that needs to be asked and said everything that needs to be said. What else can I do but remain silent?

A touch of sadness arose in Eleven Niang's heart.

Why do women always have to pay such a high price for their growth?

Maybe, being ignorant is happier

On the way back to the yard, Xu Lingyi was obviously a little absent-minded. Eleven Niang was also thoughtful. She always felt that the Queen's life was very smooth. It's not that she hasn't experienced any twists and turns, but that her husband and wife are loving and their children are healthy. For a woman with no ambitions

For a woman, this is enough. But now, she has to face a choice between her husband and her children, as well as her natal family. No matter which one she chooses, it will be very painful.

The two of them silently went back to the house to freshen up and rest. Xu Lingyi kept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Eleven Niang said simply: Master Hou, do you want to talk to me?

Xu Lingyi sat up: he had nothing to say but acted like he was having a long conversation.

Eleven Niang found it funny, and the unhappiness in her heart actually faded a lot.

Xu Lingyi sighed: "The Queen is two years older than me" and then stopped. She looked like she didn't know how to continue.

When I suddenly mentioned the Queen, I must be worried about her.

So I can't sleep on my side.

It is said that Xu Lingchen got married at the age of fourteen. No matter how good their relationship was, the time they spent together was limited to their childhood.

Eleven Niang thought for a while and said: When you were a child, would you tell you stories from kindergarten?

Kindergarten is a relatively common enlightenment textbook in Dazhou.

Xu Lingyi was slightly startled, and then he mused: Hui Xiao Cao, Prime Minister of Han Gao, was once a swordsman and pen official; Ji An, Prime Minister of Han Dynasty, was really a minister of the country. During the reign of King Zhao Bobu and King Wen, he tasted the sacrifice of Gantang. Later generations can't bear to think about his legacy.

He cut down the tree. Kong Ming had the talent of Wang Zuo. He tried to hide in a thatched cottage. The late master admired his name. He visited the cottage three times. My sister told me.

Eleven Niang noticed that he was talking about sister, not the Queen.

Relatives of the emperor and the country are kings and ministers first, and then relatives.

Sometimes, the righteousness between monarch and subject can overwhelm the feelings of relatives, or even distort them.

At that time, I thought, how great it would be if I were Kong Ming. I could put on airs in front of the emperor. I could stabilize the country and be famous in history. He looked at the tent with a very soft expression. At that time, I couldn't even draw a red line. My husband said that I was too ambitious.

, people in ethnic studies also laughed at me for daydreaming. Only my sister praised me for my ambition. She also said that it doesn’t matter where a general or a prime minister is from, what matters is that I have the ability. Let me learn from my husband and learn to read in front of me first.

If you do these small things well and add up, you will be able to do big things in the future.

I still remember that at that time, I was only seven years old and my second brother was twelve years old. My mother was worried about replacing my second brother's husband. My sister led the maids to pick elm leaves and made elm cakes in the kitchen for me to eat. I don't know what happened.

Someone accidentally lit firewood on the side and laughed. I still remember that my sister’s maids at that time were named Su’e and Qingniang. Su’e was so frightened that she burst into tears, and Qingniang covered her sister’s face with her skirt.

She dragged her outside. My sister cried and called my name and called the woman in charge of the kitchen. She found that the firewood left next to the stove was smoking. The rest of us were crying and jumping around.

Eleven Niang could imagine the funny scene at that time, and the corners of her mouth curled up: She must have been severely punished later.

Well, he looked at Eleven Niang, with a pair of eyes shining in the darkness. My sister and I were grounded and were not allowed to leave the house for a month. Su'e and Qing Niang were punished to wash dishes in the kitchen for a month.

He talked a lot. He said that his handwriting was not good, and his sister tried to find a post for him; he said that he could not memorize books, but how could his sister accompany him; he said that he tore his clothes after fighting with others, and his sister

How to hide it from the madam and make him an identical one?

Eleven Niang was very sad to hear this.

If Xu Lingchen had married into a well-matched family like Mrs. Jiang, the eldest aunt of the Maoguo family, would she have been much happier?

At least, you won't be in such danger, right?

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and the words were spoken: How did you let your sister marry the seventh prince in the first place?

Xu Lingyi was stunned for a moment and then lowered his voice: The seventh prince's biological mother died young, and Mr. Deng Jingzhi of the Hanlin Academy was his master. Mr. Deng and his father were children when they were young, and they were close friends. Mr. Deng felt that the seventh prince had a gentle temperament and noble conduct.

My sister is gentle and honest, with outstanding conduct. They are a perfect match. I just want to be a matchmaker. My father has met the seventh prince several times before and thinks that he is handsome and handsome. He was born into the royal family. Not only does he not have the bad habits of those playboys, but he is practical and practical.

Steady. Although there is no supporter in the inner court, he is the prince's grandson after all, and it is indispensable to be granted a title and worship the king. If my sister is married, she will not suffer much. I feel good. Then Mr. Deng mentioned it to the emperor, and the emperor also felt that

Okay. My sister got married.

Who knew that the world would change so quickly. First there was the prince's witchcraft case, and then Empress Wu drowned herself. Several other princes were either imprisoned or committed suicide. The late emperor was already old and suspicious at the time.

Instead of appeasing the princes, he used this matter to purge the important officials in the court. Seeing that the situation was not right, he was afraid that the seventh prince and his sister would not die well sooner or later. It happened that the seventh prince also discussed this matter with him, thinking

Jiao Sui's position as crown prince has always been unresolved.

Dad thought about it and thought that instead of just sitting there and waiting for death, it would be better to take advantage of the opportunity. So he sold most of the family property and tried to find a way to get through Jianninghou and Shouchangbo, and talk to the Empress Dowager who was made empress because she had no children at that time.

With the support of the empress, the emperor's sincerity and humility, and the fact that his sister gave birth to three sons, the late emperor made up his mind to let the emperor inherit the throne and establish the current Yonghe rule.

His tone was one of sadness.

Eleven Niang could only comfort him: For a smart person like the Queen, nothing will happen. But she felt that this kind of comfort was too pale, so she stretched out her hand to hold Xu Lingyi's hand.

Xu Lingyi was surprised by his wife's initiative.

Thinking of the soft feeling when she curled up in his arms last night, she immediately shook Eleven Niang's hand: Come to my side.

At this time, you should not refuse based on reason or emotion.

Eleven Niang hesitated for a moment and moved into his quilt.

She is not short among women, but compared with Xu Lingyi, she immediately looks petite and slender. When he is in his arms, her hands and feet are warm and comfortable, and her body naturally stretches out.

Xu Lingyi immediately felt the difference in her. Before falling asleep, her body slowly softened.

He suddenly thought of the winking words he heard from the generals in the military camp: Women don't know how to be hot or cold until they are old enough. What do those little girls know? Like my wife, it took three children to have some flavor. He was then

I just felt that it was very embarrassing to bring up my personal affairs, but now my heart moved, and I slowly stretched my hand along the skirt of her clothes.

The body was really tight.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

stop.

He said in a low voice: Go to sleep quickly. I have to go to mourning tomorrow.

He used the same calm tone as yesterday.

Eleven Niang hummed.

Xu Lingyi closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing to be even.

The person in his arms slowly softened, and he gently adjusted his posture, moving towards his arms, and his hands hung down in vain.

Xu Lingyi found it very interesting.

His hands left her body, but her whole body was pressed into his arms. The scent of her body penetrated his nose faintly, making him a little ready to move. Was it a penny wise and pound foolish?

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

After thinking for a while, he stretched his body.

The person in his arms immediately shrank up alertly like a kitten.

Xu Lingyi wanted to laugh.

He turned over to lie on his side, but wrapped her whole body in his arms.

She struggled for a few times, but when she saw that he made no movement, she rested her head on his shoulder, found a more comfortable position for herself, and slowly relaxed.

Xu Lingyi was already very sure.

As long as he keeps a certain distance from her, she is still willing to be with her.

Very childish.

It must have been very painful when her eyes, as hazy as mist in March, flashed through my mind.

He knew her tenderness better than anyone else and was able to take the red pill. Even he was a little surprised afterwards.

As the thoughts came together, a strange feeling slowly spread in my heart.

He couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, sad or dejected, pity or guilty, all of which made him feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that Xu Lingyi fell asleep, Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she has long been prepared to be patient, a relationship between husband and wife should not only be patient. Once or twice can be said to be temporarily unsuitable. If it always happens like this, even a fool will have knots in his heart, let alone a person like Xu Lingyi. However,

She wasn't sure she could control her reaction.

Gotta find a way

Eleven Niang turned over in annoyance, which caused the people around her to mumble vaguely. Then, she was hugged even tighter.

I have time, but I don’t have a computer, so I’m still busy working on it. I can only update it once a day.﹏bhan
