MTL - Emperor’s Conquest-Chapter 46 Dilemma
The matter of peace was now settled.
But good news suddenly came from the palace, and Queen Hu was pregnant. When the maid of the palace, Zhenshi, came to the house to announce the good news, I was carrying a stroke of ink bamboo, and after hearing this, I missed a drop of thick ink on the paper, turned around, and knocked over the brocade bottle. A Yue rushed forward to support her, and I flicked her back to sit back in silence. For a while, my heart was full of thoughts, mixed with taste, surprised, joyful, but uneasy.
The queen's daily life was under the control of the middle court woman officer. I know that Queen Hu was drugged in her daily diet, making her unable to have children. The son-in-law did not register another concubine for the time being. Only the Queen Hu had no concubine, and the royal blood was broken. This is also helpless. Xiao Yan will not allow new heirs to appear, even if there are, he will be removed. You can't have your own children until your son is abdicated. But his abdication is only a matter of time. Hu Yao and he are still young. After the abdication, there is still a lot of time and opportunities. However, I don't know what kind of error occurred, or whether it was artificial or accidental. Hu Yao was pregnant at this time.
Is this also Providence? I don't know if I should be happy or worried.
Since the grand marriage of Ziyi, he is not in harmony with Hu Yao. All manners of courtesy are well-rounded. I also expect him to meet his spouse and cherish the people in front of him. However, even if the case is full of eyebrows, it is difficult to be fair. I thought that a lifetime of such respect and respect might be enough. But Heaven gave them a child at this time, the child of Zi Zi's own ... This is not the greatest comfort to Zi Zi. A child can regain hope for a lonely woman, and may also allow a fragile man to grow into a strong father.
However, the child's arrival was sad or lucky, but I dare not think deeply.
After my heart was calm, a heart was still tense, and I asked in a deep voice, "Does the Lord already know?"
Zhen Shi bowed his head, "The inner court has reported to Wang Ye."
I chuckled in my heart, and said, "Which Physician is the Queen's attending doctor on weekdays? What can change now?"
"Morning back to the princess, Tai Tai Liu is usually the queen's main doctor. Today, Lord Liu has fallen ill and has changed to Lin Tai Physician.
Zhen's words suddenly made my heart sink.
I didn't see Xiao Mao returning to the house all day. At night, when he was close to a child, he quietly stepped into the room. I didn't fall asleep, squinting inward, pretending not to be alarmed. The maids all pulled out of the door. He wore his own coat and moved very gently, lest he would wake me up. I leaned sideways, frowning slightly, feeling that he leaned down at me, patted my back gently, my palms were warm, all comforting and pitying.
I opened my eyes and looked at him softly. He smiled so calmly that he didn't see anything in his usual coldness, as if he were just an ordinary husband and father.
However, the life of the other mother and child was in his hands at the moment.
He whispered in my ear, "Sleep."
"I just dreamed about Queen Hu." I looked deep into his black eyes. "She was holding a little child and kept crying."
Xiao Yan stared at me, the sharp edge of his eyes disappeared, and the corners of his lips evoked a smile, "Really, why?"
"I don't understand." I stared directly into his eyes. "She is a queen, and now she has an emperor, how can she cry for no reason."
"Since it's a dream, how can it be taken seriously." He smiled and raised my face. "You think more and more."
I looked at him deeply, "My careful thoughts have told you, but your mind has never told me."
He narrowed his smile and his eyes grew cold. "What you want to know, you don't have to say it, can you guess?"
The hidden thorns in these words pierced down and faintly hurt. I stared at him, speechless, and a thick bitterness seemed to flow from my throat. When he said this, he admitted that he would not let Hu Yao give birth to a son-in-law, and he would not let the royal family have any heirs. And I couldn't say a word to dissuade him from refuting, because he did nothing wrong. There is no end to the sorrowful heart. One of the Emperor Emperor is not stepping on the bones of the former royal family.
However, that is Zi Zi, Zi Zi's wife and children are also my loved ones.
"Maybe, it will be a little princess." My struggle, even I felt weak and weak, "To the point where the royal family is today, it is already an empty shell, leaving such a child, what can it do. If it is a girl, it may Can't stay. "Xiao Yan's face was gloomy, looking at me, he seemed to have compassion." Yes, girls can stay, but what about boys? "
I froze, and half of Fang said with difficulty, "At least, there is still half alive."
Watching my body tremble, Xiao Yan finally sighed and couldn't bear to persecute me again. "Okay, let's live half of your life, and stay in October, staying with women but not men."
The next morning, I entered the palace to congratulate Hu Yao, but in the palace hall of the palace, I saw Zi Xi.
Stepping into the temple, I saw Zi Xi gently handing a plate of plums to his queen. Hu Yao leaned next to him, with a slight flush on his cheeks, and a warm smile under his eyebrows. Suddenly, his heart twitched slightly, and his familiar eyes were as gentle as the old days. He turned his head and saw me, his eyes fixed, and he handed his hand stiff in the air.
"I see the emperor and the queen." I lowered my eyebrows and bowed my knees to worship him.
"Flat body." Ming Huang's robe corner flickered in front of him, and he came forward to support him, his hands still pale and thin.
I quietly pulled away and turned to Queen Hu, smiling with congratulations. Watching me and Hu Yaoyan laugh and laugh, Zixi sat quietly beside him, with an extra gentle smile, but said nothing. Not long afterwards, the Taiyi became available for the Queen's diagnosis. I got up and said goodbye, but I heard Ziyi also said, "I still have something to do, and I'll visit Zitong later."
Coming out of Chaoyang Palace all the way to the gate of the palace, Zi Xi always walked ahead silently. The car was waiting in front of me, and I owed a little lightly, "The courtier resigned."
Ziyi was silent and didn't turn back. As I walked past him, I passed my shoulder, and my arm tightened tightly, and he held it firmly. The sudden force made me lean, almost instability.
Suddenly, I was startled like a beast, and I was afraid that someone would harm my child. Without thinking, I reached out and held the dagger at the bottom of my sleeve!
However, my finger just touched the cold sword hilt, and I could see the child in front of me.
I froze and looked at Zi Zi, seeing him staring at my sword-pressed hand, a pain in my eyes.
I opened my mouth, but couldn't say a word. I knew that I hurt him deeply, but I did n’t know how to explain it. I did n’t even know it myself. It was the nature of my mother that caused me to lose normality. Zi Zi is no longer a person who can trust with all his heart!
Four eyes condense, it was just a moment, but it seemed extremely long.
"I just want to congratulate you." Ziyi smiled sadly and let go slowly.
Spring is twilight, and Xia Yin is getting thicker.
At the beginning of the nap in the afternoon, he was so tired and weak that he sat in front of the mirror and redressed. Seeing the strange redness on his cheeks, his lips became paler. For a while, my spirit was gradually worse than before, and I became more and more tired.
Every day during this period of time, snow-like discounts were handed in, all of which were written, and Xiao Xiao was asked to return to power. Zou Shu was sent directly to the house, filled with study, and sent to clean up every day.
Xiao Yongtao kept his eyes low, and it's almost time for him to live in the palace for a long time. When the Northern Territory is replaced, the major incident of rectification in the purge army is settled, and no one or anything can stop him.
The great cause is about to happen, and how the world will change.
After that day, Ziyu ordered a box to be sent. Inside is a pair of silk paintings that have been yellowed, and a touch of strokes outlines the silhouette of a beautiful young boy, like a dream.
That was my handwriting. I used to secretly scratch the look of him when he was reading on the silk. He didn't dare to be seen. He hid it with great care, but was eventually found by him. He was so happy that I begged to ask for this painting, and I refused. It wasn't until the day he left Beijing to go to the Emperor's Mausoleum to keep filial piety that I sealed the painting in a box and gave it to him. Today, both the box and the silk painting have been returned, and I have a long time and finally burned them.
The ceremonial officer played, and the annual shooting ceremony in the palace was approaching, and Chen asked Wang Yuzhang to preside over the ceremony.
In this dynasty, culture was emphasized, and riding and shooting were only practiced as a ritual of Gaomen's children. Until Xiao Xun was in power, and the style of Shang Wu was flourishing, the government officials and knights were keen on riding and shooting. This year is more different than usual, the ceremony officer intends to borrow the grand occasion of the shooting ceremony, and Emperor He Zhang and Yu Zhang Wang both won the favor, so they intentionally arranged and solemnly. Although the etiquette is not limited, the Emperor has personally presided over the shooting ceremony. On the first ceremony of the ceremony, the tremor of the dynasty shook, and no one dared to disagree.
Zi Yun allowed the ceremony officer to play, and ordered Xiao Yan to preside over the shooting code.
Royal school grounds, jingying brocade.
Queen Hu led the women to observe the ceremony, and my seat was beside her Phoenix. Everyone was polite, and I was slightly behind. My eyes met Hu Yao. She smiled slightly, and there was a gloomy gloom between her brows.
Nothing to see each other, I sat down and turned my head quietly, looking towards the end of the school yard.
The horn sounded, the guard of honour rose, and in the dazzling place of Hua Gai, two black and white horses and galloping horses galloped out.
The dark horse is on horseback. It is Xiao Yan with a black robe in gold armor, Zi Huangming with a yellow robe, silver armor, and riding a white horse.
The sun illuminated the battle armor, and the eyes were slightly astringent and painful. When I turned my eyes, I saw the queen Hu standing upright with her spine on the side.
That was our beloved, and I wonder if she looked at Zi Zi, and I looked at Xiao Qi, whether her mood was the same.
At the beginning of the bidding, five gold cups were hung in the distance of the school field.
Qingya has no arrows, and it is extremely difficult to master the strength and accuracy. This is the real test of archery.
Off the court, the children flirted with their horses, and the family members looked around.
Xiao Yanchi entered the stadium, and suddenly he shouted with excitement and applause.
However, he saw that Zi Su suddenly rushed forward, passed Xiao Xiao's side, and took the first step to take the carved bow provided by the ceremony officer.
Suddenly, it was too late to see Xiao Min's reaction clearly. Zi Xi had already drawn his bow and arrow, the string rang, his heart broke, and the gold cup fell to the ground.
There was a moment of silence on the field, and the women depended for a moment before exclaiming.
I was shocked by a cold sweat, my heart was jumping, but I heard Xiao Xiao high-five slowly and applauded.
The ceremonial officer approached to take the bow of Zi Xi's hand, and Zi Ji made a U-turn without looking at the ceremonial officer, and threw the bow straight to the ground.
There was an uproar off the court, Xiao Yan bowed his head coldly, Shen said, "The emperor stayed."
The son-in-law stood in the horse, but did not look back.
"It's a big taboo to slow down the ritual vessels." Xiao Yan said quietly, "Please ask the emperor to retrieve the ritual vessels."
"I don't like leaning down and bowing my head." Ziyi's face was iron-blue, and he faced Xiao Xiao, staring at each other for a while.
I was terrified. I just felt that Ziyi was very different today, and it gave me a strong sense of ominousness. I froze a bit, stood up, biting my lip, but saw Queen Hu rushed out first.
In full view, Hu Yao strode into the stadium, leaned down, picked up the carved bow, raised both hands, and presented to Zi Xi.
The stalemate was broken by her actions. However, in the honor of her queen, she personally picked up the bow, which still greatly disgraced the royal face.
Zi Xun's face looked more and more ugly, his chest was undulating, staring at Xiao Xun motionlessly, but not looking at Hu Yao.
"Congratulations to the Emperor for his shot in the Gold Cup." Xiao Yan smirked, turning his head and commanding, "Come, set wine."
The attendant was busy presenting the golden cup of fine wine, but Ziyi was as if he hadn't heard it. He leaned over and grabbed the bow carved by Hu Yao's hand, and drew an arrow to open the string.
That arrow is no longer competitive Qingya, but Shiratora Takuya who really kills.
