The carriage galloped for a long time, and Luo Changan gradually stopped crying. At the age of twenty-eight, he had lost his direction in life and didn't know where to go. He had loved, hated, gained, and lost. What exactly did he want?
Liu Qin stayed by his side silently, and his previous anger was gone. After all, his sister was sad. He sighed and said warmly: "Brother asked you to go home on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. You disobeyed and put down your dignity and waited for more than 20 days."
, he waited for the news of his concubine’s happiness, but before he could take back the divorce letter. Is this a decent way to go?"
Luo Changan whispered: "He has his own reasons. He swore to me with his throne and he has not failed me."
"What kind of difficulties can make the imperial concubine happy?" Liu Qin laughed angrily, "Is it the kind of difficulties like drunken sex?"
Luo Changan said softly: "He will not lose his morality even after drinking."
Liu Qin felt that his sister was very naive, "Every time your brother coaxed a girl, he used his head to guarantee that he had not touched other girls. What happened? You believe what a man says. You are my sister, but you don't understand men very well."
A man can swear to many women."
Luo Changan said in a deep voice: "The emperor is different."
"..." After Liu Qin laughed angrily, he stopped laughing again, "Okay, tell me then, why did he make the imperial concubine happy?"
Luo Changan cleared his throat and said, "It's unknown whether someone may have framed him?"
"It makes so much sense! Who in the inner courtyard of the imperial court has the ability to move in and out freely and make the imperial concubine pregnant to frame the emperor?" Liu Qin said, suddenly slapping his thigh, "I know who it is, it's me, I'll make it pregnant.
It’s from the imperial concubine’s belly!!”
When Luo Changan saw that his brother was so angry that he spoke shockingly, he quickly said: "Brother, don't be so angry. Haven't I already gone home with you?"
Liu Qin finally calmed down a little, "From the day he gave you Li Shu on the Mid-Autumn Festival to today, you haven't had anything with him that shouldn't have happened, right? This is a principle. If you have, you have to face the wall when you go home.
My father and mother repented before their graves."
Luo Changan couldn't help but sigh when she thought that she had almost crossed the line with the emperor in the East Palace, and it was her initiative. She whispered: "No."
Liu Qin was relieved and said, "Brother, I'll introduce you to someone good. With my sister's looks, she won't have to worry about getting married."
Luo Changan said calmly: "...I will not remarry. If you are not an emperor, everyone is a general. If you are a general, there is no need."
"What! Do you still want to get back together with the emperor?" Liu Qin said angrily: "You have no time to wait for him, right?"
Luo Changan said seriously: "He said he would rely on me."
"According to you? Just do whatever you want, come and go as you please? Wake up, Chang'an." Liu Qin raised his voice, "He did a pretty good job, and he smiled at you when you left. But he didn't withdraw.
He Lishu, his attitude is very clear, he has turned the page, you have turned the page."
Luo Changan said nothing.
Liu Qin said in a deep voice: "Brother will introduce some friends to you tomorrow. Let's chat, take a walk together, and walk out slowly. I am familiar with all the top ten handsome men in Chang'an City."
Luo Changan felt sick in her stomach. When Liu Qin talked about the top ten handsome men, her throat tightened and she said, "vomit..."
Liu Qin was startled, "You...are you deliberately going against me?"
Luo Changan understood that Liu Qin was afraid of getting involved with Qin Keqing, so he said: "Go and propose marriage to the Taifu's daughter, and I will see what kind of talent you are looking for for me."
In this way, Liu Qin decided to cease all activities.
But Liu Qin agreed: "Okay! I will propose marriage to Qin Keqing. You can start a new life for me immediately!"
Luo Changan was startled, isn't it? His brother is crazy, "..."
Liu Qin said seriously: "Look ahead, Chang'an. He won't welcome you back to the palace. He's going to see the new imperial concubine's pregnancy. Try the snacks in your hand. I'm giving them to you when I'm pregnant."
Gift. How does it feel?"
Luo Changan said softly: "I believe in the emperor."
Liu Qin was stunned: "Did you fall in love with the emperor again after being divorced?"
***
Emperor Qianao stepped into Kunning Palace at noon.
At that time, the Queen Mother and Song Ning had just had lunch and were talking when they saw the emperor coming. The Queen Mother smiled and said: "You are here, come and take a look. Your little imperial concubine is just one month old.
She doesn't look pregnant yet. Her face is round and looks a little pregnant."
The Queen Mother said, looking at Song Ning.
Emperor Qianao sat down on a big chair quite far away, looked at Song Ning, and said with mixed emotions, "There are many people in the harem, and I walked around so frequently that I actually forgot where I was that night."
The word "that night" is quite meaningful.
Song Ning remembered the bench in a secluded part of the palace, her cheeks turned red. She wrung her hands, not daring to look at the emperor, and even more embarrassed to answer such a question.
Aunt Ziyuan answered for Song Ning: "Calculating the date, maybe I was in a corner of the palace that night."
Di Qianao frowned, and there was a look of contempt in his eyes, "Yes, I remember, many people caught cold that time. Mr. Liu, me, and...Governor Shen."
Song Ning's heart beat fast when she heard the words "Governor Shen", and she quickly looked at the emperor with a guilty conscience.
Di Qianao smiled kindly at Song Ning.
Song Ning felt very scared. She didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but she was afraid of the city behind the emperor's eyes.
The Queen Mother had never seen her two beloved grandchildren since she returned to Luo Chang'an. She missed her beloved grandchildren extremely much and was worried about being lonely. The news of Song Ning's pregnancy made her overjoyed. This also showed that Ao'er was indeed blessed with both rain and dew.
I realized how much painstaking efforts she put into being a mother. The front palace and the back palace were connected by nepotism. If she favored only one person, it would be inevitable for all the officials to complain.
"After all, she is young and in good health, so it is easy to get pregnant. Over the years, the queen gave birth to the two little devils and her energy and blood were exhausted. Later, she miscarried Yongle'er, and her health became even worse. The Ai family really couldn't bear to leave her and continue to overdraw her body. Ao Ao
You should also feel sorry for the queen. Sharing hardships with the queen has already made her tired. The task of raising children can be left to the new generation, the younger generation."
Di Qianao listened to the words without commenting, and then said: "The child in the concubine's belly will be put to great use in the future! There are many people in the harem, and it is not easy to give birth to a newborn. I am not worried about her living alone in Changchun Palace."
Song Ning looked at the emperor in confusion. She really couldn't understand the emperor. What did the emperor think of her? Was he worried about her now? But why did he say that a newborn baby was not usually called a dragon heir?
"Yes, you are thoughtful. She is only sixteen and has just grown up. She is indeed scared to live alone." The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Since you are worried about her living alone in Changchun Palace, what are Ao'er's plans? Can you tell me?
"
"Only if I place her in the Queen Mother's Kunning Palace to raise her fetus and have the Queen Mother personally take care of her, can I rest assured." Di Qianao said slowly, casually picking up a cup of tea and drinking it.
"This is excellent." The Queen Mother smiled lovingly: "The Ai family also hopes that the dragon heir in her belly can be born smoothly. It is the best to place it next to the Ai family. The food will not be tampered with.
"
"Hai Yin." Emperor Qianao's eyes narrowed, "Immediately order people to move the imperial concubine's belongings and palace people to Kunning Palace. If there is no one living in Changchun Palace, there may be some thieves, so please lock it up."
"Yes, Emperor." Haiyin was startled. This was someone coming from Changchun Palace without leaving a trace. Haiyin immediately ordered people to move all the concubine's belongings from Changchun Palace to Kunning Palace.
Song Ning actually didn't want to live with the Queen Mother. She was afraid of the Queen Mother. Last time the Queen Mother came down from the Phoenix Terrace to pick up the Prince and the Second Prince from Kunning Palace, the Queen Mother was unhappy and even slapped her in the face. But this is
She must not disobey the emperor's wishes. She has been in the palace for half a year and is walking on thin ice every day. In the Changchun Palace, she was only asked by the emperor to live in a side hall in the backyard. Everyone thought she was pampered, but this was a plus.
Are you pregnant? She doesn't know if other sisters' lives are even more bleak.
Emperor Qianao said to Song Ning: "Go and take care of her. I have something to discuss with the Queen Mother."
"Yes, concubine, please leave." Song Ning breathed a sigh of relief and went down holding her little rabbit. The Queen Mother didn't like her holding the rabbit and would always criticize her. However, after she became pregnant, the Queen Mother did not stop her from holding the rabbit.
, and also said that he would choose a better long-haired rabbit for her.
After Song Ning retreated.
The Queen Mother said warmly: "Ao'er, we haven't spoken to each other for many days."
Di Qian proudly nodded, "Yes. Tell me what's on your mind. You go first."
The Queen Mother said sadly: "We, mother and son, have probably been no longer close to each other since you made your little slave Chang'an an honorable person."
"No. It started when my mother skinned my beloved orange cat. I was five years old that year. We were no longer close to each other at that time." Di Qianao corrected the Queen Mother, "It has nothing to do with Luo Changan. It was Luo Changan who taught me to resist.
Defend what’s yours!”
The Queen Mother said sternly: "Playing with things makes you lose your ambition! My son, Yan Feng, is a dragon among men! If it weren't for the strictness of the Ai family, would you be where you are today?"
"I owe everything I have today to you." Di Qianao said in a deep voice.
"There is something in the words! Do you think Chang'an is suitable to be a queen? With her intolerant temperament, can she be a mother to the harem and a mother to the world?!" The Queen Mother sneered coldly, "Don't say that the Ai family is cruel. Being a queen means being a queen.
,How can we be a queen without a harem?!"
"Intolerant of dissidents? Who are you talking about? Someone is more suitable for this word." Di Qianao raised his eyebrows, "You!"
Just as the Queen Mother was about to speak, Di Qianao said again: "I haven't finished speaking yet. To answer your question, she is suitable to be the Queen. Are you suitable to be the Queen Mother?"
"The Ai family is not intolerant of dissidents! The fact that Prince Rong, mother and son are living well is the best proof! The Ai family is worthy of the title of Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother said dissatisfied: "Take today, for example, Song Ning is pregnant, so she should be the Queen.
You came forward to arrange a place for her to rest, but the Queen didn't even show her face. Instead, you arranged it yourself. It's ridiculous! This is the Queen's dereliction of duty! Is this called suitable?!"
"I want to tell you that the queen and I have made peace." Di Qianao pursed his lips and sneered.
The Queen Mother was shocked and stood up suddenly, "Heli! How can the king of a country reconcile? Are you crazy?! If this spreads out, where will the face be? How can we teach civil and military officials and the people of the world to be stable? Emperor and Empress
If Heli is all together, the people will lose their faith! What a big joke! You are fooling around! The Ai family does not agree with Heli! If they no longer like her because her appearance is damaged, and she will just go elsewhere, why bother Heli and lose face?!"
"You can kill her, but I can't make peace? Let's compare mother and son!" Di Qianao sneered: "You touched my wife, and I touched your face. You are always afraid. I will tell you tomorrow.
I am at peace with the world!"
The Queen Mother angrily slapped her hands on the table, "How dare you!"
Di Qianao had no intention of telling the world, but he just said it, but he still said coldly: "Just watch!"
The Queen Mother was furious, "You just listened to Yang Qingling's false accusations, and you think your mother is so cruel? Killing her daughter-in-law? Ridiculous!"
"Of course you didn't do anything, but you are connected by my blood, and I know what your methods are. You don't have to do anything, it's enough to just provide some convenience to the executioner!" Di Qianao said sternly.
The Queen Mother kept silent, "The Ai family is heartbroken."
"This is so heart-breaking. I have just begun." Di Qianao smiled softly.
"Listen to this, apart from reconciliation, is there anything more shocking to the Ai family?" The Queen Mother felt very uneasy.
Di Qianao picked up the tea, took a sip, and said slowly: "I have not favored even half of the women in the harem you arranged for me."
There was a loud bang in the Queen Mother's head, "Then Song Ning was pregnant!"
Di Qianao stared at her mother coldly, "I am not from the Di family. The first colored hat on my head was given to me personally by you who arranged the harem."
"The seed in her belly is not from the Di family?! The Ai family personally selected her to be your concubine, and she actually did... such a thing as stealing someone!" The Queen Mother was furious, "Ao'er, what did the Ai family expect?
It will bring shame on you! If you know!"
"I will keep the bastard in her belly for use to catch the traitor! Take good care of her and give her a good pregnancy!" Di Qian'ao said lightly: "Taste this feeling, your own daughter-in-law and your own grandson are divorced
I am alienated in the far suburbs, and you personally take care of the evil ones who are not of royal blood. They are divorced, cuckolds, and unhappy. This is the life you have arranged for me! It is wonderful! I am ruined by it!"
The Queen Mother felt dizzy, "Ao'er!"
"What kind of Buddha are you worshiping!" Di Qianao angrily overturned the Queen Mother's Buddhist niche to the ground, smashing the porcelain Buddha statue to pieces on the ground. "I'm just afraid of the baby hairpin! There is something wrong in my heart!"
"Is this what you said, to come and see my old mother someday! Break the Ai family's Buddhist altar and destroy the Ai family's faith!" The Queen Mother trembled all over when she saw that her Buddhist altar had been overthrown by her son.
, unable to stand, she taught Jixiang to help her and slowly sat down, Aijia... must be wrong. She recalled the time when Chang'an was by her side, laughing and laughing, and Ao'er was also cheerful at that time.
Is Aijia really wrong?
"I have been waiting for your concubine to become pregnant for a month! This is a great gift just for you!" Di Qianao brushed off the dust from the Buddhist niche on his sleeves, and then said to the Queen Mother: "Take care of your concubine and experience the joy of having a baby.
.I, my wife and children are separated, and we, mother and son, are happy together!"
The Queen Mother closed her eyes tightly, feeling depressed and sick.
Emperor Qian proudly walked out of Kunning Palace and said to Haiyin: "Let's meet Shen Qingchuan in the study room to lure the enemy!"
