Chapter 272 The Queen and Her Jing Family Young Man
Regardless of whether a man or a woman is smart, they are usually ambitious.
Qingwan is no exception, she is also an ambitious woman.
However, her former prince was Xia Xu. She knew that Xia Xu was useless, and she herself was just a concubine without a strong natal family. Although Xia Xu had close contacts with the Shui family at that time, she had some feelings for the Shui family.
Taboo, I wouldn't expect to rely on the Shui family to support Xia Xu as emperor.
Therefore, in the former Qingwan's view, the possibility of Xia Xu becoming emperor in the future was almost zero, and the possibility of herself becoming the empress dowager in the future was also almost zero.
Later, she suddenly realized that Xia Xu was the son of Shuizhen, and the Shui family had long planned to support Xia Xu as emperor and occupy the Qing Dynasty in this way.
But now, her prince is no longer the incompetent Xia Xu, but the very accomplished Jia Yun. Jia Yun is already an envoy of Chang'an who has made great military achievements, and will soon be promoted to Prince Zhongwu. Even her biological mother
Due to the high value of her son, Du Mu wanted to be granted the title of Duan Concubine. In this case, she felt that it was possible for Jia Yun to become emperor in the future, although this possibility seemed very small at present.
There is a small possibility but it is possible!
Qingwan hopes that she can become the empress dowager in the future, and she even hopes that her biological prince can become the emperor in the future!
Thinking of this, Qingwan pondered...
…
…
There are three major palaces in the inner court of the imperial palace. In addition to the Qianqing Palace, there is the Jiaotai Palace behind the Qianqing Palace, and the Kunning Palace behind the Jiaotai Palace.
Kunning Palace is the middle palace, which is the residence of the queen.
However, Emperor Tianzhi’s queen does not live in Kunning Palace!
During the Ming Dynasty, Kunning Palace was indeed the residence of the queens. In the Qing Dynasty, before Emperor Tianzhi ascended the throne, three queens of the Qing Dynasty also lived in Kunning Palace. Emperor Kangxing still got married in Kunning Palace. However,
After Emperor Tianzhi ascended the throne, his queen no longer lived in Kunning Palace, and Kunning Palace was turned into a place of worship.
Kunning Palace is an unlucky place, and many queens have died here. However, the main reason why Emperor Tianzhi’s queen does not live in Kunning Palace is not to avoid bad luck, but because Emperor Tianzhi is no longer as happy as before.
After Emperor Chao lived in Qianqing Palace and Yangxin Palace, his queen thought that she should no longer live in Kunning Palace, so she chose Zhongcui Palace among the twelve east and west palaces.
Zhongcuigong is one of the six east palaces, located in the northernmost part of the east six palaces.
Zhongcui, that is, Zhongcui, means gathering the essence.
Zhongcui Palace was built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally called Xianyang Palace.
The palace was renamed Zhongcui Palace.
Zhongcui Palace is located in a second courtyard. The main hall in the front yard is Zhongcui Palace. It is five rooms wide, with a mountain-style roof with yellow glazed tiles and a front corridor.
At this time, a woman was sitting at the desk in Zhongcui Palace. This woman was not young at all. She was already forty-four years old. Even though she was the current queen of the Qing Dynasty, she had a very good appearance and figure.
She has been well maintained, but due to the level of maintenance in this era, at the age of forty-four, she still inevitably looks a little old.
However, because she has taken good care of herself, and when she was young, she was not as beautiful as Qing Wan, Qin Keqing, and Li Feixue, but she was as beautiful as Xue Baochai. Now, even though she is a little old, she can still show off her charm.
A middle-aged beauty to describe her.
Her surname was Yin, and she was the queen of Emperor Tianzhi, so she was called Queen Yin.
Empress Yin likes reading and poetry, which is similar to Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu and other golden hairpins. At this moment, she is sitting at the bookcase and reading a collection of poems by Li Bai, the poet of the Tang Dynasty. She likes Li Bai's poems, and she was a girl many years ago.
She fell in love with it at that time. The reason was that there was a young man she liked very much who liked Li Bai's poems and often talked to her about Li Bai's poems. This young man was not the Emperor of Heaven.
At this time, she read a poem, the title of which was "Xia Ke Xing":
"Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Gou Shuangxue Ming.
The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star.
Kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles.
Hello.
…”
This poem is a bit long, with a total of twelve lines. The content is to express the admiration for knights and express the author's ambition to be a knight who will be famous throughout the ages, rather than a Confucian scholar who writes books in vain and dies under the window.
For many years, whenever she reads Li Bai's poems, she can't help but think of the young man she liked very much. Whenever she sees the poem "Xia Ke Xing", she will think of that young man even more. She still remembers it clearly.
, "Xia Ke Xing" is that young man's favorite poem. I had talked about this poem with her many times.
In fact, even though he was just a young man during the half year she spent with him, three years younger than she was at the time, he already had a knight-like demeanor and a figure that was better than the average man of the same age.
The young man is much taller and stronger. He is very handsome and has extraordinary martial arts skills. He can be described as a brave young man. In addition, he has a heroic personality and a strong love and righteousness. He can be described as a young knight.
Because of this, she quickly fell into admiration for him and liked him very much. At the same time, he also fell in love with her and liked her very much. So, the two fell in love quietly. This was a love affair except for him and her.
The two of them were in love without a third person knowing about it. Although this love was passionate, it was also innocent. After all, they were both young at the time, and both of them came from wealthy official families. She still cared about etiquette, although he had some disdain for etiquette.
, but I didn’t want to offend her too much.
At that time, she thought that this heroic young man who was three years younger than him, this extraordinary young man, would be her future husband.
But she didn't expect that she would be suddenly designated as the fourth prince's consort by Emperor Kangxing who was then in power, nor would she have thought that she would later become the empress of the world.
Years passed by, and it had been many years since she had seen the heroic young man from back then.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, ever since she married and became a princess, she knew that she should not think about that heroic young man, or even recall him, let alone
Recalling the passionate and innocent brief love affair she had with him, when she became the queen, she knew that she should not be like this anymore.
However, after all these years, she still couldn't forget that heroic young man, and sometimes she couldn't help but think of him.
This was the case tonight. It was precisely because she suddenly thought of him that she couldn't help but read Li Bai's poems that he liked very much, especially "Xia Ke Xing", his favorite poem.
, she missed him even more.
She doesn't feel that she still likes him now. She feels that the reason why she is like this is just out of a kind of nostalgia. She misses the beautiful period she experienced as a girl and misses the heroic young man who created this beautiful period for her.
That's all.
Human beings are animals that pursue spiritual life, and nostalgia is a way for humans to pursue spiritual life.
Even if she is the empress of the world, she sometimes needs to satisfy her spiritual life by remembering her.
At present, Queen Yin read the song "Xia Ke Xing" three times. After reading it three times, she closed the book of Li Bai's poems in her hand and did not want to continue reading tonight.
Immediately, she stretched out her right index finger and wrote three words on the cover of the collection of poems. The first word was "Jing", the second word was "Zhan", and the third word was "Yao". These three words
The two characters together are the name of that heroic young man many years ago. He has not changed his name for so many years, so many years later, he is still called by this name.
Empress Yin just wrote the name with her fingers, so naturally she would not leave any handwriting on the cover of the poetry collection. She was cautious. If she wrote the name with a pen and left handwriting, if she was discovered by Emperor Tianzhi, or was
If others found out and told Emperor Tianzhi, it would cause big trouble, not only for themselves, but also for that heroic young man back then.
At this moment, a palace maid hurriedly came over and said respectfully to her sitting at the desk: "Queen, the emperor is coming!"
Queen Yin nodded, immediately put away Li Bai's collection of poems, got up and led a group of palace maids to the eaves outside Zhongcui Palace to welcome the arrival of her husband, Emperor Tianzhi.
Not long after, Emperor Tianzhi came and walked into Zhongcui Palace with Queen Yin. After the two sat down together, they chatted for a while about daily topics, such as Queen Yin's concern for Emperor Tianzhi's health.
For example, Emperor Tianzhi asked Queen Yin how she was getting along with the Queen Mother today.
At this time, Queen Yin asked: "Where did the emperor come from just now?"
Emperor Tianzhi said calmly: "I just went to Chuxiu Palace."
Queen Yin's heart was filled with excitement.
As a queen, she naturally knew everything about the harem, including matters related to Qingwan and Jia Yun. She also knew about Jia Yun's great military exploits in rebelling against Jiangnan and the fact that Emperor Tianzhi wanted to make Jia Yun Prince Zhongwu. She even knew
Presumably, Qingwan should get some benefits this time, because mother is more valuable than son. Even so, when she heard that Emperor Tianzhi had just arrived from Chuxiu Palace, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart.
Queen Yin didn't change her expression, she just smiled and didn't ask any questions.
Emperor Tianzhi asked: "Aren't you curious why I suddenly went to Chuxiu Palace?"
Empress Yin smiled softly and said: "No matter why the emperor went to Chuxiu Palace, it is not something that I can ask casually. I have been with the emperor for so many years, so I still know this etiquette."
Emperor Tianzhi smiled with satisfaction. He believed that the concubines in his harem were really smart, and Qingwan was one of them, and Queen Yin was also one of them.
Emperor Tianzhi said: "Even if you don't ask about this, I still want to tell you. Because the sixth prince's son born to Duan Concubine has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion in Jiangnan, I will give him the title of Prince Zhongwu. His sons are all
Now that she is a prince, it is natural that Duan Concubine, a mother, is just a concubine, so I will designate her as Concubine Duan. In addition, I also allow her to participate in the wedding of the Sixth Prince, and allow the Sixth Prince to visit Chuxiu Palace in the future.
She. However, she is still confined to Chuxiu Palace."
Although Emperor Tianzhi was a ruthless emperor who was very rational and less emotional, Empress Yin was the empress whose mother cared about the world after all, and the relationship between the couple was also very good. Therefore, Emperor Tianzhi would go out of his way to tell Yin about matters like this in the harem.
The Queen said hello. It was just a greeting. Emperor Tianzhi would not ask Queen Yin if she agreed in advance.
Queen Yin's heart felt even bigger, but she still smiled softly without changing her expression: "The emperor has the final say on this matter, why bother telling me? Since the emperor has told me, then I will
Let me say a few words. In my opinion, the emperor has done this very properly. Indeed, the sixth prince has made such a great contribution this time and made him a prince. It would be inappropriate for Concubine Duan not to make her a concubine. The emperor also allowed him to do so in the future.
Being able to come to Chuxiu Palace to visit Duan Concubine is enough to show that the emperor is not only a good emperor but also a good father."
Emperor Tianzhi smiled with satisfaction again: "My queen is indeed a person who understands justice."
Queen Yin then asked softly: "Where will the emperor stay tonight?"
Emperor Tianzhi said: "Just stay here with the Queen."
Queen Yin smiled happily, but she was already wary of Qingwan and Jia Yun, mother and daughter...

In the south city of Shenjing City, in the Tanhua Courtyard of Jing's Martial Arts School, Jing Zhanyao is sitting on the roof, drinking a jar of fine wine, while looking at the human scenery shrouded in moonlight under the night sky, he can't help but whisper a poem
word:
"Hate the world, what is love? Directly teach the promise of life and death. Traveling from the south to the north, how many times has the old wing experienced the cold and summer? Joy is fun, parting is painful, and there are even more crazy children. You should say: Thousands of miles of clouds, thousands of mountains
In the twilight scene, for whom are the shadows going..."
This poem is called "Moyu'er - What is the hate of human love", and the author is Yuan Haowen.
Every time he read a line, Jing Zhanyao took a sip of wine, so he read it very slowly. By the time he finished reading the poem, the jar of wine in his hand had been finished.
He didn't know that just tonight, the woman he had longed for for many years thought of him in the depths of the palace, and specifically read Li Bai's poems that he liked very much back then and his favorite "Xia Ke Xing".
Yes, "Xia Ke Xing" was his favorite poem back then, and even now, so many years have passed, it is still his favorite poem.
What she didn't know was that he, who was now over forty and middle-aged, was still deeply immersed in the charm of the poem "Moyuer - Hate Human Love".
He didn't know that after so many years, she no longer liked him as she did many years ago, and all she had for him was a kind of nostalgia.
What she doesn't know is that he still likes her as he did many years ago, even though he couldn't even see her in person during all these years.
He is over forty and middle-aged, so he has naturally married a wife. After all, he is a direct descendant of a wealthy official family. His father once served as a feudal official. It would be unreasonable not to marry a wife.
However, the marriage was not what he wanted. His wife died of illness less than ten years after marrying him, and he never renewed their relationship. The woman he liked and cared about the most was not his wife, it had always been her.
...The current Empress Yin is the most respected mother in the world.
It was precisely because of Queen Yin and the story between him and her that he fell deeply into the charm of the poem "Moyuer - Hate What Love Is in the World".
