Emperor Jing still remembered that bloody evening. His worried eyes were locked on her face as white as paper, and he gently wiped away the sweat and tears from the corners of his eyes and brows. She was holding his hand while she was dying, but it was...

She smiled weakly at him and asked, Your Majesty, am I ugly when I look like this?

That was the last smile she left for him.

When he thought of the late empress, Emperor Jing's heart suddenly softened a bit, as if he had fallen into a vacuum filled with melancholy.

The late Queen Chen was the direct daughter of Chen Youhu, the border guard of Yunzhou Town.

Since ancient times, tiger girls have appeared among generals, not to mention that he is the daughter of a tiger general guarding the border.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Jing during the Qianlong period, and King Yuan at that time, originally rejected this marriage from the bottom of his heart.

Emperors and important ministers have formed political alliances through the marriage of their children since ancient times.

Moreover, since forty years ago, the Dajing border has been repeatedly invaded by powerful enemies.

The barbarians in the north who are gradually getting stronger are no longer satisfied with the border trade with Dajing in the past. They have repeatedly provoked wars between Dajing and the border in the north, encroaching on the expansion inch by inch year by year.

With.

Fortunately, the person guarding Yunzhou in Dajing is General Chen Youhu! His reputation for both wisdom and courage has spread throughout the world!

Under his heroic leadership and command, the soldiers of Yunzhou tenaciously resisted the iron hoofs of the barbarians from the north heading south time and time again.

There were continuous wars on the Yunzhou border, and the soldiers in the border towns gradually became tired, and some began to become lazy.

In order to calm the hearts of the people at the border and commend the generals for their service, the late emperor issued an order to marry the daughter of the family of King Yuan and the great hero Chen Youhu. He hoped that his children would always be friends with the Qin and Jin Dynasties, that the war in Yunzhou would be worry-free, and that the country would be forever solid.

Although the young and independent-minded King Yuan had some resistance in his heart, he had the majesty of a king since he was a child and had the clearest sense in mind.

He obediently accepted the offer of marriage, and before the appointment period was over, he enclosed a handwritten proposal letter and dedicated it to his bride, whom he had never met.

On the wedding day, when the red candles were dimly lit by the tent, he gently held the gold scale pole with his nervous and trembling hands, and slowly lifted off the red hijab with flying dragons and phoenixes bit by bit.

Under the red grosgrain, the beauty's shy face bowed her head slightly in shyness, just like a magnolia flower waiting to bloom in the imperial garden.

Fengguanxiapei

Underneath, those tender and tender eyebrows glanced at him from bottom to top, like a shy smile in the eyes. Her beautiful appearance was dignified and solemn, but she exuded a fatal attraction from the inside out.

In just one glance, he has fallen.

To this day, Emperor Jing still remembers the shocking sight that made his heart skip a beat.

And she had long been secretly interested in him. Ever since she received his handwritten letter asking for a job, she had fallen in love with this young man who was brilliant in literature and domineering.

Two young men of sixteen years old, golden wind and jade dew, became the best in the world as soon as they met.

In the second year of their marriage, they had their first child, the current crown prince and the second oldest child in the late Yuan Dynasty.

He named the child Zhao, which means destiny is clear and implies great expectations for the child. The late empress doted on the child extremely.

Five years later, they had a second child. Emperor Jing also ascended the throne in this year and became emperor, with the reign name Yonghe.

In the first year of Yonghe, the continuous war in the north suddenly subsided.

The Wolf Division at the northern end gathered an army of 100,000 troops and marched south. However, they were outnumbered and fled in defeat. Chen Youhu's Iron Army took advantage of the victory to pursue them and pushed the enemy back all the way to the north of Guan Mountain, two hundred miles north of Yunzhou.

Since then, the north and south of Guanshan have become the new boundaries between Dajing and the northern end. Whenever war breaks out in the north, this is always the main battlefield where the two countries are in a stalemate.

The first prosperous year after the new emperor ascended the throne is about to come to an end. According to the speculation of the imperial doctor, the emperor's second son will also be born in the twelfth lunar month.

Rumors inside and outside the palace said that this child was the descendant of a happy star from heaven. It not only brought joy to the death of the late emperor, but also brought prosperity to his father and mother, and to his ancestors. This child would definitely bless the fortunes of the country, and he was truly the chosen one.

Unexpectedly, a blood collapse was like a bolt from the blue, taking away the late empress’s young life!

The dreamlike sweethearts of his childhood sweethearts, in just six or seven years, were shattered into countless tiny ice fragments in his heart, causing pain as deep as his heart.

He actually hated the little newborn baby in front of him!

If it weren't for him, how could his beloved wife have lost her life?

But this is his biological son, the fruit of his love with her!

Already, some people who have taken advantage of the situation are gossiping behind their backs and claiming that this child is actually a child.

He is the evil star of the sky, the ominous person of Kefu Kemu.

However, when she thought of the late empress trying her best to keep this child, she angrily told him that she must treat him well and not listen to slanderous words. After he swore to God, she took her last breath and left.

This third-ranked prince was her last gift to him, and also her last concern in the world.

How could he let her down? How could he not show more love and compassion to this child?

For decades, life and death were blurred, without thinking or forgetting.

Since she left, there have been three thousand beauties in the harem, many of them fat and thin, but no one can replace her position in his heart, not even the successor - Empress Zhao.

It's a pity that God is jealous of beauty, and she died young.

He could only pour all his love and deep thoughts for her into the two sons she left for him.

Especially their youngest son, Kang Wang Luan, whom she devoted her life to giving birth to for him.

This child has been smart and handsome since he was a child, and his facial features and expressions are very similar to the late empress. Because he was born weak and sick, Emperor Jing was worried about him a lot when he was a child, and he even did not hesitate to work hard himself.

For the past ten years, Emperor Jing has been eager to take Lu An, the third eldest prince, with him and never leave him.

Those who were favored by the wind also said that although the third prince lost his mother long ago, he was extremely intelligent, had the appearance of an emperor, and could enjoy great blessings.

I never expected that God would always fail to fulfill people’s wishes.

Xiao Luan, unfortunately, fell into a serious illness when he was crowned King Kang at the age of ten, and he lost consciousness in his right leg.

That was the second memory that made Emperor Jing deeply engraved in his heart.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows:

The third prince, the second son, is smart and intelligent, and has the advantages of his father, the emperor, and his mother. He has the domineering style of Emperor Jing and the knowledge and rationality of the first empress;

The eldest son, the second prince, was originally mediocre in talent. After the death of his mother, he became even more playful and arrogant. He is not necessarily good when he is young, so he is not favored by everyone;

As for the eldest son of the concubine, Prince Mian, he had never been able to catch the eye of Emperor Jing.
