Chapter Seventeen: Memories (Part 2)

Until that day, I stepped into Kunning Palace after a long absence.

He wants to depose the prince, Yi Donggong!

At that time, he was no longer the cowardly and useless King Tao who was hiding in the corner of the capital.

Rather, he is an emperor who has been on the throne for several years, has peace in the world, and is supported by his courtiers.

He believed that he had devoted countless efforts to the Ming Dynasty, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he saved the entire Ming Dynasty.

It is much better for him to hold the throne than for his headstrong brother.

Therefore, he wants to hold the throne in his own hands.

He wants to make his son the prince!

Not just to bring the throne to his own lineage.

It is also to declare to the world.

He, Zhu Qiyu, is the orthodox royal family!

And Prince Yi couldn't get around the Queen.

At that time, he thought he could be understood.

But that day.

He stepped into Kunning Palace.

This woman, who is always dignified, calm and calm, lost her composure for the first time!

That scene is still fresh in Zhu Qiyu’s memory.

They quarreled for a long time.

at last……

She just stood in front of her, with a livid face, reached out and took off the phoenix crown on her head, and fell to the ground Yingying.

"If the emperor insists on doing this, please give up the position of concubine and queen first."

"My concubine will not allow the emperor to do such a thing that will cause instability to the country and the country after being in charge of the harem for just one day!"

The result was naturally an unhappy ending.

That was also the only time that I saw her so excited.

After that...

No one can really stop what an emperor wants to do!

He deposed the Queen and changed the Eastern Palace.

Neither the Wang family nor the officials in the court could stop him.

On the day after his death, he hid in the dark.

Watching her calmly accept the decree, take off all the phoenix crowns and harems on her body, and return the gold seals and gold books in her hands.

She is still the same dignified, quiet, graceful and generous person.

There was an unbreakable sadness in his eyes.

At that time, Zhu Qiyu could not understand and did not want to understand the sadness in her eyes.

But this moment.

He sat in the carriage and looked at Wang's peaceful and sweet sleeping face.

Scenes after I woke up, one by one, passed through my mind.

She panicked and ordered her servants and maids to ask the imperial doctor to prepare medicinal meals.

When she walked in in a hurry, she felt tired and worried on her brows.

She was very busy, taking care of all the affairs of the palace. During the days when she was in a coma, she single-handedly supported the entire palace.

And the moment she saw him waking up, she couldn't stop the joy and tears in her eyes...

At this moment, Zhu Qiyu suddenly understood something.

In his previous life, he and Ms. Wang were married for more than ten years, but he never really understood her.

She is a qualified princess and will be a qualified queen in the future.

Throughout her life, she remained a qualified wife.

But he has never been a qualified husband.

Today, I have the experience of my previous life and the experience of wandering for hundreds of years.

Zhu Qiyu naturally knew.

Regarding the inheritance of etiquette and law, the change of the Eastern Palace had a huge impact on the ministers.

During his dynasty, numerous courtiers opposed him, including the trusted ministers he single-handedly promoted.

The great ceremony of the Jiajing Dynasty lasted for three full years, and countless courtiers came forward one after another, fearless of death.

The dispute over capital preservation in the Wanli Dynasty lasted for fifteen years, and ultimately there was no success in capital preservation.

From the perspective of Zhu Qiyu in his previous life.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Ming Dynasty, listened to advice and accepted advice, and saved the country from falling.

Prince Gengyi, he should rectify the name of his lineage.

He deserves it!

But in the eyes of the officials.

As a king, it is your duty to humbly accept advice and work hard to govern.

He was originally from the clan and inherited the throne in times of crisis.

I picked up a throne for nothing and still want to hold on to it.

Not only did they mess up the inheritance of etiquette, but they were also ungrateful!

At that time, the world was at peace for a long time and the borders were peaceful.

Therefore, the officials were extremely rigid about the rationality of the inheritance of etiquette and law.

Even Yu Qian, whom he trusted most, did not stand on his side.

Zhu Qiyu wants to come now.

Isn't that just what Wang said.

"...If you are good at changing the prince, there is no etiquette and law to follow, and there is no morality to follow. It will definitely cause turmoil in the government and the public, and the officials will be alienated..."

Unfortunately.

He was too stubborn back then!

Wang's heartfelt words were taken by him as an attack of jealousy.

Not only did he not listen, but he also insisted on dethroning her.

As a result, it became easier for the prince.

But he also fell into endless suspicion.

The final Nangong restoration.

If he had not lost the heart of a courtier, how could his elder brother, who had abdicated long ago, regain the throne so easily...

To this day, Zhu Qiyu recalls the sadness in Wang's eyes on the day she was deposed.

Suddenly I understood.

She has never worried about her future.

To her, it didn't matter whether she was the busy Princess Nie, the empress whose mother cared for the world, or the abandoned concubine who lived in seclusion in the cold palace.

What she is worried about is her husband.

What will she, a husband who is blinded by the inferiority complex of his unfair position, face when he insists on acting recklessly?

She knew it in her heart, but she was powerless to stop it.

This is what makes her feel most desperate and unwilling...

Zhu Qiyu woke up, only to see that Mrs. Wang had woken up at some point.

She had just woken up, and her originally clear eyes were filled with mist.

Because he slept on his stomach, his fair face was tinged with pink, and his neatly styled hair was also a little out of shape.

Looking at Zhu Qiyu who was staring at her blankly, Wang subconsciously asked.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

After that, he looked at himself.

I saw that my clothes were wrinkled and there were a few strands of hair hanging down from my bun. I thought it looked very ungraceful.

Wang's heart sank, and she couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.

She has been running the palace up and down these days, and last night she stayed in front of the bed all night without sleeping a wink.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu woke up, he ran to the palace.

She didn't know what happened, but she was always worried about it.

When Zhu Qiyu came back, before he could even ask a question, he saw that he had fallen asleep in the carriage.

She was worried that Zhu Qiyu was weak and did not dare to disturb him.

I want to stay by the side so that he can see me when he wakes up.

However, as she kept watching, she couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

Now as soon as I woke up, I saw him looking at me like this, his eyes were very strange.

Wang only thought that Zhu Qiyu thought she was acting recklessly, and for a moment she felt extremely aggrieved.

But the upbringing she received since childhood was not to do anything inappropriate at all.

Therefore, even if he felt aggrieved in his heart, he tried to keep his face calm and said.

"I have behaved inappropriately, please punish me."

"Just now Xing'an said that the princess sent the palace guards to drive away all the pedestrians around the palace?"

Zhu Qiyu didn't answer, raised the curtain, looked outside, and said.

"Being so flamboyant is not the princess' usual style!"

Prince Tan's Mansion is very close to the Imperial City, but it is also one of the surrounding pedestrian streets.

On weekdays, the position of Prince Tan's Mansion in the capital is very embarrassing.

As the only adult prince in the capital who had never joined a vassal, Zhu Qiyu had neither real power nor status, and was guarded against others.

As the princess who manages the Prince's Palace, Wang also keeps a low profile.

What we did today is, at best, arrogant and unreasonable; at worst, it is bullying the people.

At that time, Wang only wanted to not disturb Zhu Qiyu's rest.

Later, when I thought about it again, I couldn't take it back, so I couldn't help but fall asleep from exhaustion.

I heard Zhu Qiyu mention it at this moment.

Subconsciously, I felt that he was blaming himself, and he felt even more aggrieved, and there was a faint glimmer of water in his eyes.

However, his face didn't reveal anything. He tried hard to suppress the water in his eyes, lowered his head, and continued.

"I acted willfully and caused trouble to the prince. When I get back, I will shut myself up and reflect on myself. Then I will send someone to apologize to the people who were driven away. Your prince, you are in good health. Don't be angry..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt a slightly cold hand on her head.

The hand straightened the crooked golden hairpin for her, picked up the broken hair around her ears and forehead, and finally fell on her shoulders.

"I have never been angry. I only hope that the princess will be more willful in the future!"

Mrs. Wang looked at Zhu Qiyu's serious eyes with a puzzled look on her face.

I was worried in my heart, could the prince be burned out?

Zhu Qiyu burst out laughing when he saw his silly and cute look.

Outside the carriage, Xing'an and Cheng Jing looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

What happened to the prince to make him so happy?

Xing'an stayed with Zhu Qiyu longer.

Listening to his master's hearty laughter, for some reason, he vaguely felt that his master seemed to have let go of something...
