During the reign of Emperor Hongwu, the State of Zhao was in peace talks with the State of Chu, and the sixteen-year-old Princess Murong Si of the State of Zhao came to the State of Chu to make peace.
At that time, Emperor Hongwu's children had all grown up. Seeing that Murong Si could be his daughter, he could not bear to include her in the harem.
Therefore, Murong Si was granted marriage to the fourth prince Leng Xuxi, who was later the Honghui Emperor.
Leng Xuqi was two years older than Murong Si, so they were almost the same age. At that time, there were not so many women around Leng Xuqi. Before Murong Si came in, there were only two concubines and three common rooms.
Murong Si was extremely beautiful, and could even be said to be the most beautiful woman in the country. The two of them were a young couple, so their relationship was naturally unmatched by others.
But for some unknown reason, after the two got married, Murong Si was never able to give birth to a child, and even there was no movement from the concubine's room.
Leng Xuqi always smiled and said there was no rush, he had several brothers above him, the throne was not his turn, and he was not too urgent to have a child.
Murong Si couldn't sit still. She was the princess of Zhao before she got married, and the prince's concubine after she got married. Her status was not low, and she also valued her children. For this reason, she decided to take a concubine for Leng Xuqi herself.
The couple never quarreled over the issue of children, but it was the matter of concubinage that made Leng Xuqi angry many times. He was so angry that he stayed in the study and refused to go back.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the first child died at the age of two.
Watching her son marry his beloved, Murong Si had the illusion that time had returned many years ago.
Leng Xuqi was in a bad temper and hadn't been to Murong Si's place for a long time. He doted on almost all the concubines. He just wanted to have more children so that Murong Si wouldn't be attracted to one child.
look.
As she got older, she lay under the grape trellis, looking at the clouds in the sky, often dreaming about the time when she and Leng Xuxi first met when they were young.
Leng Xuqi didn't like Mrs. Lu and didn't care much about the children she gave birth to.
Later, when Leng Xuqi came to the throne, he named Murong Si the queen, and the Lu family who gave birth to many children for him was named Zhaoyi.
When the sixth prince was born, Leng Xuqi looked happy and happy, which made Murong Si feel like her heart was twisting.
Murong Si did not expect that on the day Leng Xuqi died, someone else wanted to harm the prince, but fortunately they could not succeed.
In this way, Murong Si completely pushed Leng Xuqi away.
I just don’t know if Leng Xuqi is willing.
Murong Si didn't have time to think about Leng Xuqi.
Although Murong Si didn't say anything, how could she not feel uncomfortable in her heart?
He had always expected Murong Si to give birth to a child for him, but unfortunately every time the imperial doctor checked his pulse, he said there was no problem, there was no problem with him, and there was no problem with the queen. Leng Xuqi couldn't figure out what the problem was.
The baby boy was the fourth prince like Leng Xuqi. Although he was thin and frail at birth, he had been raised with great care and had grown up slowly.
No matter how uncomfortable Murong Si felt, she could only endure it, nod with a smile on her face, and praise the infant Sixth Prince a few times.
Even the maid advised Murong Si: "Master, Your Highness wants to get close to you, why do you push him away?"
Away from the turmoil in the palace, the crown prince and Princess Zhaoyang, who were named King Jing, grew up safely and healthily.
Two years later, Murong Si gave birth to another daughter, who was named Princess Zhaoyang.
Murong Si slowly raised his old and wrinkled hand, looking forward to flying into the nine heavens with Leng Xuqi.
The older King Jing grew, the more he looked like Leng Xuxi when he was young.
I thought that the couple could finally stay together for the rest of their lives without having to think about children.
Even so, Murong Si did nothing and silently paid homage to her queen and mother.
Murong Si persuaded herself that as a queen, she was destined to accept the three thousand beauties in the harem, and she had to be tolerant.
Leng Xuqi became ill due to overwork. At a young age, he suffered from more and more ailments, which could not be cured by doctors, so he looked for some evil folk remedies.
Maybe in the next life, she can meet Leng Xuqi again and be an ordinary couple with him for the rest of their lives.
Obviously there was nothing wrong with him when he was born, but he couldn't be raised well.
A few years later, Murong Si personally sent Princess Zhaoyang off to get married, and she finally settled two worries.
From Leng Xuqi's eyes, she saw the way he looked at her many years ago.
Leng Xuqi took her hand, and the two of them became young again.
But she may not have noticed that she focused almost all her energy on this child and completely ignored Leng Xuxi's feelings.
Leng Xuqi's health seemed to improve after taking the elixir, but he felt that the queen was ignorant. Why didn't he let him take it when it was clearly a good thing?
Murong Si did not have a good impression of the elixir. She hoped that Leng Xuqi would stop taking it, so she had a dispute with him. The relationship between the two people was already broken and they were even stranger.
Murong Si knew it in her heart, but as she was a queen and her husband was the emperor of a country, the two of them were destined not to stay together as ordinary couples.
Both the ministers and Murong Si were asking him to do more for the royal family.
She thought that her son and her daughter-in-law could live happily together for the rest of their lives.
But Leng Xuqi forgot that he was an emperor now.
After Leng Xuqi's death, Murong Si supported Leng Moran as the new emperor.
When Leng Xuqi saw that Lu gave birth to a child for him, he felt only a faint joy in his heart, but this joy was quickly diluted by Murong Si's coldness.
There were so many women around Leng Xuqi before, and Murong Si had never been so sad because she knew he didn't care about those people.
But Fu Qingjiao is very different.
It's just that the boy in his heart is no longer her, but has become another person.
Leng Xuqi eventually died early because of taking the elixir.
Leng Xuqi would call different concubines to sleep with him, and occasionally would come to the queen's place, but the two of them were obviously unfamiliar with each other.
Later, there was news from Mr. Lu's place, and soon the second baby boy, who was white and fat, was successfully delivered.
For this reason, he also appointed a Taoist priest as a national preceptor and took an unknown number of pills.
He also knew that he shouldn't be jealous of his children, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
After Fu Qingjiao entered the palace, Leng Xuqi behaved more like a child, as if he was still that young boy.
Murong Si didn't think there was anything wrong with what she had done in the past.
When Murong Si found out that Leng Xuqi liked Fu Qingjiao, she felt disappointed but also felt happy for Leng Xuqi.
After Murong Si understood this, she stopped trying to persuade her. Maybe this elixir was really a good thing?
Many years later, Murong Si lived a life surrounded by children and grandchildren.
Seeing her son and daughter living happily and the common people getting better and better, she felt relieved.
She is also very conflicted, but who allowed her to be born into the royal family and now marry into the royal family?
The first person to become pregnant was a concubine named Lu. Leng Xuqi only visited her room once before she became pregnant. Ten months later, she gave birth to a white and plump baby boy.
Eight years after the two got married, Murong Si was finally happy and gave birth to a baby boy.
Murong Si's attention was indeed diverted, but she took good care of both children.
She took the prince and Princess Zhaoyang out of the palace.
Murong Si was so happy that she really took good care of the child as she said before, and did not force Leng Xuqi to stay in other people's rooms again.
But if she had to do it again, she hoped she could be more selfish.
Murong Si didn't know if Leng Xuqi still remembered it - maybe he had forgotten it long ago.
Leng Xuqi would still give the queen the respect she deserved, but it was just respect. The excitement and love of her youth had long been lost in the years.
Maybe it's just that the fate with the child hasn't come yet.
I no longer worry about having children, I just want to grow old with the one I love.
After Fu Qingjiao became pregnant, Murong Si fulfilled her duties as a queen and asked people to take good care of Fu Qingjiao.
Lu later gave birth to a series of children, almost half of whom died in infancy.
Leng Xuqi liked his and Murong Si's child very much, so he naturally made him the crown prince.
Leng Xuqi's young face appeared in front of her eyes, and he was smiling at her.
She spent more time with her children to alleviate some of the pain and sadness.
Leng Xuqi is no longer the same person as he used to be, and he no longer cares about her feelings, nor even notices her emotional changes.
Unfortunately, there was still no movement in the bellies of those concubines, and Murong Si didn't seem to notice his neglect at all, let alone feel the slightest sadness.
Although Leng Moran did not ask Murong Si to remain a widow and even hinted that she could remarry, she had no intention of remarrying.
Murong Si has already thought about it. As long as anyone can give birth to a child for Leng Xuxi, she will treat it as her own and help raise the child well, and she will never force Leng Xuxi to get close to others in the future.
"It will be fine when His Highness has an heir."
However, Leng Xuxi still happily hugged the child and asked her: "Queen, do you think this child is the most like me?"
I heard the words I heard many years ago.
"Ah Si, from today on, we are husband and wife. I will protect you and love you forever, and I will never let you suffer any injustice."
She couldn't help but smile brightly.
This is how Murong Si left this world with a quiet and peaceful smile.
