MTL - Princess a Lives By Kissing Me Every Day-Chapter 67
Rao Concubine Yan is no longer favored, but concubine suicide is not a trivial matter.
Concubine Yan has been in the palace for a long time, and has not been favored in the past few years. The Yaoyue Palace has long since lost its former prosperity.
He was not noticed during his life, and even his death was extremely bleak, and it took a long time before he was discovered.
According to Xi Xue, the second princess almost burst into tears when she heard the news.
"Did Emperor Father know?" Qin Yuci frowned tightly.
"Someone has already reported it." Xi Xue said, her voice was obviously full of regret. The concubine in the palace can be promoted to the current position, at least because of the help of the family. Naturally, no matter how hard life in this deep palace is No matter how difficult it is, in order to repay the family, they have to endure, grit their teeth and climb up desperately.
Suicide by a concubine is a serious crime that affects the family, if it is not really unbearable, how could she choose such a path, no matter the family or the poor.
"He won't go." Qin Yuci said slowly, with a very firm tone, "Recently, the affairs of the court and China have been complicated. A few days ago, the emperor's body was very unwell, and it was barely relieved after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor. Now I'm afraid I'm already asleep."
"Furthermore, even if the emperor hasn't gone to bed yet, he still..."
Qin Yu paused for the rest of the words, but was unable to say them in the end.
She knew her father well, perhaps in the eyes of others, he was a wise monarch, a monarch worth following, but behind those bright lights, there were still many obscure things hidden.
To put it nicely, it's called love and hate, to put it in a bad way, it's called not to miss old feelings, and to be extremely cruel.
If you like it, you have to dedicate all the good things to the one you love even if you pick the stars and the moon, but if you don't love one day, you will be heartless and ungrateful, and your face will be as cold as ice.
What's more, he and Concubine Yan just had a dispute last night, and now Concubine Yan commits suicide, it's hard to say whether it has something to do with what happened yesterday, the emperor is such a proud and assertive person, he can't bear any rumors, it's not his style to go at this time.
"That's all." So in the end, Qin Yuci just shook his head slightly, opened his lips and told Xi Xue to step down, leaving everything until tomorrow.
The two stood in front of the door and whispered for a while before returning.
The food on the table was already cold, but fortunately, the dinner was almost used up, and there was only half a bowl of porridge left on the table.
Fearing that the porridge would be cold, Lin Moran just held it in his hand to keep warm. When Qin Yuci came back, he quickly scooped up a spoonful to test the temperature, and felt that it was just right for his mouth, so he handed it to the person in front of him with a chuckle.
Said: "Yinyin, drink the porridge, the wind is strong at night, warm your body."
There was no question about what happened just now.
"Thank you, Ranran." Qin Yu said, and when he saw the smile on her lips, he suddenly felt a lot better. After a pause, a light smile gradually surfaced on his face.
After a while, he said again: "It's just, but is there nothing you want to ask?"
"Yinyin can say it naturally if he wants to." Lin Moran smiled, his eyes sparkled brightly under the candlelight, which was very beautiful, "If you don't say it, you probably don't want to deceive me, it's just a matter of balance As a result, even if I know about those things, it will only increase my troubles, and it will not be beneficial."
"That being the case, what else do I ask?"
Didn't expect her to think so.
"Of course it's really good." Qin Yuci was taken aback when he heard the words, but after a while, the smile quickly returned to his face, "Cute, smart, understanding, ice-snow smart..."
All of a sudden she started blowing her rainbow farts.
"Wait, wait." Lin Moran's cheeks flushed from her praise, and even the roots of his ears became hot, "I'm not as good as Yinyin said."
"It's so good." Qin Yuci smiled, didn't say much, just lowered his eyes and kissed her hand lightly.
It was indeed not a lie. In Qin Yuci's heart, she was really as good as she was, even hundreds of times better than what she said, which made people like it.
This kind of Ranran is different from everyone in the palace. She is lively, cute, and full of vigor, as if the sun is shining on her body, just looking at her like this makes one's heart happy.
Of course, you shouldn't be affected by any trivial matters. If there is one less thing to worry about, it is one thing.
Everything belongs to her.
She can handle anything.
As Qin Yuci expected, there was no movement in the Tai Chi Hall all night long. The next day the emperor went to court as usual, and discussed matters seriously with his ministers as usual. Everything was the same as before.
It's just that when I got up in the morning, I sent an order to ask people to arrange for the burial of Concubine Yan as soon as possible. Because she committed suicide, she didn't give her the concubine ceremony she deserved, but she also thought that she had given birth to the second princess for Dazhao. I also missed the friendship in the past, and didn't pursue too much.
The words are high-sounding, but they don't even want to see the last side.
It wasn't until after the court that the emperor finally took action.
In the final analysis, Qin Yuewei is still the second princess of Dazhao, and she has made military exploits before, no matter how unpopular she is, she still wants to see it out of reason.
Thinking about it, I haven't come to see her in person for several years.
Although the emperor was angry at Yanpin's quarrel with him, and disgusted with her ignorant choice to commit suicide, but in the bottom of his heart, he still harbored some guilt and emotion. , Whether the current situation will happen or not.
But this kind of thought is only for a moment, he is the emperor, the real dragon emperor, so there is nothing wrong with it.
With this in mind, the emperor met Qin Yuewei.
The death of her biological mother was a great blow to Qin Yuewei. When the emperor stepped into the palace, Qin Yuewei was sitting silently at the desk writing something.
Looking closer, it turned out that they were copying scriptures.
Private sacrifices were not allowed in the palace, and the emperor did not issue corresponding instructions, no matter how sad Qin Yuewei could do, he could only copy some scriptures by hand to pray for his mother on Huangquan Road.
She was just a girl who had just turned eighteen. Although she tried her best to endure her sorrow and tried not to show herself, the hand that copied the scriptures was still trembling slightly.
Noticing someone approaching beside him, he opened his mouth as if to say something when he realized it was the emperor, but he still endured it after all, and only respectfully greeted him, then bent down and knelt down.
There seemed to be tears streaming down the corners of his eyes.
From beginning to end, there was no disrespect.
"Get up." The emperor looked at her, his expression unchanged, "Concubine Yan's death should have dealt a heavy blow to you. I heard from the maid that you haven't eaten anything since last night."
"Return to father." Qin Yuewei said, without getting up, still kneeling on the spot, her voice was very soft, "Mother and concubine passed away, Yuewei really couldn't bear it, on the one hand I was very sad, but on the other hand... It's fear."
"Why are you afraid?" the emperor asked.
"Mother concubine died by hanging herself, violating the palace rules. Although Yue Wei was extremely sad, she never forgot the rules. She was afraid that her father would blame her, and she was also afraid that her father would be angry and destroy the dragon's body."
"Furthermore." She paused, as if she had weighed and imitated several times in her heart, and finally said a few words softly, "Although the concubine mother was gentle and cowardly all her life, she treated Yue Wei very well. Teaching and guiding, trying to protect, Yuewei relied on and respected her mother and concubine, but now she passed away suddenly, I..."
I couldn't say the following words, but the meaning was already very obvious.
There are some things that cannot be said indiscriminately.
The emperor paused, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he said sharply: "Listen to this, are you blaming me?"
"Yuewei doesn't dare!" Qin Yuewei immediately lowered her head in response, her voice seemed choked up, "Yuewei has never had such thoughts, and her mother and concubine have always taught Yuewei when she was alive, saying that the father is the king of Dazhao. Your Mingjun is a respected monarch, no matter what you do, it is a wise move, and naturally you have your reasons."
"Yuewei has always taken her father as a role model since she was a child, respecting you, worshiping you, and never having any rebellious heart."
"Yuewei is just a little emotional." She said, her eyes were full of tears, big and big ones fell down, "Mother concubine passed away suddenly, from now on, there is one less person who protects and loves me in this world."
"Yuewei only has her father, and the only one she can rely on is you..."
This was said with tears in my eyes.
No matter how unfavored she is, after all, she is also his second child. Seeing her kneeling down and crying like this, anyone would be moved.
The emperor paused, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, his expression gradually calmed down, and he said, "Get up."
"Your concubine really said that in the past?"
"Yuewei dare not lie to the emperor." Qin Yuewei said, finally got up slowly, raised his feet and walked to the side of the case, silent for a moment, took out a jade pendant with his lowered eyes, and presented it to the emperor with both hands, "Mother and concubine will love my father all my life." Emperor, I regard you as a god, even when I am dying, I will always hold what you gave her."
The things of the dead are inauspicious.
Seeing this, the emperor frowned, and subconsciously wanted to turn his eyes away, but he was stunned when he saw the jade pendant clearly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
That was the first gift he gave to Yanpin. Yanpin likes plum blossoms. In order to please her, he specially asked someone to carve plum blossoms on it, and he sincerely promised that although Yanpin was only a dancer, she was beautiful. , Generous, with a more noble character than plum blossoms, I will never disappoint.
Until now, he still remembers the smile on Yanpin's face at that time, it was really beautiful, better than the moon and stars.
It's just...that beauty gradually faded with the passage of time, and I didn't know when I broke my promise, and I had already forgotten every promise made at that time.
Seeing this jade pendant again now, really makes people feel very emotional.
The emperor didn't speak for a long time, neither did Qin Yuewei, the two of them remained silent like this, and after an unknown amount of time, the emperor finally spoke again.
He raised his hand and patted the person in front of him, his voice was very soft, not like a monarch, but like an ordinary father: "The dead are gone, there is no use in being sad, take care of yourself."
"Everything is mine."
After finishing speaking, he turned and left without staying any longer.
"Yes." Qin Yue said slightly, stood behind her and saluted respectfully. After watching the emperor leave, she finally sat back in front of the desk and slowly picked up the pen.
But this time, instead of transcribing scriptures, he wrote these two lines on a blank piece of paper—
"Concubine Yan has passed away, and the moon has no one to rely on."
"I wonder if you are still satisfied with such sincerity?"
