Minghui Emperor Xiao Jingzhu was buried in the east side of the imperial mausoleum at the age of 38 in the 30th year of Minghui. He was also buried in the same cave as the emperor Murong.
The concubine Xiao Tiange ascended the throne as emperor at the age of fifteen, and her reign was Jingming. In the first year of Jingming, Emperor Jingming Xiao Tiange gave birth to a son, named Xiao Yi.
After the death of the late emperor, Empress Lin Di took the initiative to go to the imperial mausoleum cemetery to guard the tomb of the late emperor. She no longer interfered too much in the affairs of the previous dynasty, and truly practiced pure mind and few desires, devoted herself to chanting Buddha's name, and cultivating her character.
In the imperial study room of the Yangxin Hall, Xiao Tiange frowned in front of a pile of memorials. Youlan quickly walked forward with broken steps, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Tiange didn't even raise her head, her eyes were still staring at the memorial without moving away, she just said lightly: "What's the matter?"
Youlan looked like he was hesitating to speak, just lowered his head and said nothing. Xiao Tiange was already in a bad mood, and seeing Youlan like this made her even more angry.
"You Lan, what on earth is going on!" Upon hearing this, You Lan was so frightened that her legs softened and she knelt heavily on the ground.
"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die... Your Majesty, there is still no news about Lord Bai and Lord Chu..."
Xiao Tiange's eyebrows, which were originally tightly knit together, were now even more wrinkled. She angrily threw the memorial on the desk to the ground.
"Nowadays, the whole country is in turmoil. There is ice in the north, drought in the south, victims are everywhere, and the country's foundation is unstable. Why...why do they have to worry about me so much!"
"That's because Your Majesty, you broke their hearts at the same time!" Xuan Yi walked over calmly carrying a bowl of bird's nests.
Xiao Tiange cast her gaze at him, but he didn't care. With a smile on his face, he walked up to Xiao Tiange and put the bowl on the table.
"Youlan, please step back first!"
Hearing this, You Lan quickly stood up from the ground and bowed down. Xuan Yi picked up the bird's nest on the table and handed it to Xiao Tiange. Xiao Tiange did not carry it over, but said angrily:
"I have no appetite at the moment!"
Xuan Yi was not angry at all, but stubbornly still held the bowl in his hand: "People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat for a day, you will be hungry. What's more, you are still the king of a country. No matter how busy you are or if you have no appetite, you still have to do it."
How much can you eat? You just gave birth to Yi'er not long ago and your body is still very weak."
Xiao Tiange couldn't resist him, so she had to take the bowl in his hand and drank all the bird's nests in the bowl in front of him.
Then he handed the empty bowl back to Xuan Yi: "Hey, is this good?" Xuan Yi took the empty bowl with satisfaction and said dotingly:
"Well, this is how you are obedient! In fact, you can't blame Bai Jun and the others now. You divorced them so cruelly at the beginning. If I hadn't been a thick-skinned person and refused to leave, I'd be afraid that you would be looking for someone on the list.
There’s one more person like me.”
Although Xuan Yi was smiling, his words were somewhat sad. Xiao Tiange felt emotional for a moment and reached out to hold Xuan Yi's hand tightly.
"I had no choice at that time. If I didn't do this, I was afraid..." Xuan Yi suppressed the smile on his face and straightened his expression.
"I know you will do that, but you are afraid of implicating us. You have prepared the worst for yourself. Even if you are convicted by the empress, you still want to protect us, so you take this step.
"
Xuan Yi took a deep breath, and a rare seriousness flashed in his deep eyes.
"But Your Majesty, why haven't you thought about how sad it will be for us if you do this? You have thought about it and don't want to implicate us, so how can we just watch you go into trouble alone? What's more, we have been with you since we were young.
Mr. Bai, who we grew up with, you really hurt his heart by talking to him like that..."
How could Xiao Tiange not know this, but the situation at that time had to force her to do that. It was better for one person to be in trouble than for everyone to have it. However, she really did not expect that her doing so would bring trouble to Bai Zelan.
to do such great damage.
"Now that I have just ascended the throne, my foundation is not yet stable. Although the ministers in the government and the public seem to be very obedient to me, the calmer the surface, the more unpredictable undercurrents are hidden. I am now in charge of the government and the public.
There are unforeseen things, let alone my leaving the palace. Nowadays, there are disasters in the north and south. I didn't know about it before, but now I know that it is not easy at all to sit on the supreme throne. I have to deal with everything.
, I have to make the decision, but if you are not careful, you will be in dire straits and put the people in dire straits."
She turned around and looked at the garden outside the window. Spring had just arrived, everything was revived, and the trees in the garden were sprouting new green buds.
"There is also the Queen Mother. Although he seems to have given up everything recently and disappeared to guard the late emperor's mausoleum, his former power still exists. If one day he suddenly becomes ambitious, even if I am now No. 9
The Fifth Lord must also be on guard at all times and watch out for him to prevent him from attacking again. I am still in the midst of fire and water now, and I have not changed much from before."
Xuan Yi felt heartbroken when he heard what Xiao Tiange analyzed with him. He couldn't help but hug her from behind and found that her waist was even thinner than before.
Encircling her whole body in his generous arms, his chin rested on her shoulder.
"No matter what happens, I will stand behind you and stay with you until the day I die. As long as you don't drive me away when things happen like last time, no matter what happens in the future, we will be strong together.
Face it, because we are husband and wife."
Xiao Tiange turned around, raised her head, and looked quietly at the stunning man in front of her. How could she be able to let him follow her wholeheartedly?
The fingertips brushed across his eyebrows, then slowly across the bridge of his nose, then continued downward little by little, and finally landed on his thin lips.
Their eyes met, and without saying too many words, the four lips were tightly pressed together, and the faint scent of ambergris and Xuan Yi's unique fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose.
Xuan Yi's long and upturned eyelashes trembled slightly, and his kiss was rough but gentle. Only then did Xiao Tiange remember that she had never taken a good look at him since she had been married to him for so long, let alone like him now.
When it comes to intimacy, she is really a ruthless person.
Xiao Tiange turned from passive to active, actively guiding Xuan Yi, prying open his teeth with her long tongue, sliding into his mouth, and mixing with his softness.
He held her waist tightly with his palms, using all his strength, as if to rub her into his body. His breathing gradually became faster, and all the heat sprayed on her face, tingling.
of...
"Ge'er, if he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he must remember that both rain and dew are affected, and he must not favor anyone alone..."
"Ge'er, whoever you dote on alone in the harem will definitely bring you trouble, and will also make other husbands feel resentful. Please remember..."
These two words suddenly sounded in his ears, Xiao Tiange slowly closed his eyes, and then collapsed into Xuan Yi's arms like a puddle of soft mud.
