"Here comes." The emperor said, and the eunuch stood guard in the corridor. He heard the situation clearly and immediately responded, "My slave is here."
"Get the imperial edict I wrote before."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Following the eunuch, he bent down and hurried to the imperial study room. The most noble couple in the palace fell into silence again for a while.
Fortunately, the eunuch came back quickly and carefully delivered the imperial edict.
"I have already finished writing this edict. All I need to do is fill in the title." The emperor unfolded the edict as if offering a treasure and showed it to the queen.
The queen took a look at it and saw that the imperial edict was made of cotton silk, with a pure blue color, two dragons on the left and right ends, and embroidered with the four characters "Fengtian Zhigao" in seal script.
This is indeed for the exclusive use of nobility, and is written in regular script from left to right. The full text of the edict has been roughly written, and a vermilion square seal has been stamped at the signature. The seal script is "the treasure of making imperial edicts."
The emperor once again laid out the imperial edict. The eunuch had already studied the ink. The emperor dipped his pen in the ink and directly filled in the word "Dai Hou" in the blank space of the imperial edict.
Only those who are truly close to and understand the imperial power know the weight of an edict. It can be said that the whole world is not the royal land, and the shores of the land are not the royal ministers. This sum condenses the authority of the entire world. Once it is issued,
Even if he is white, he immediately becomes a prince.
Contrary to what many people think, even if you have royal blood, without genealogy or decree, you do not belong to the dragon's descendants. Even if there is a little favor, it is only one tenth or one percent.
"With one stroke, you are already a member of the Heavenly Family."
The queen watched the holy edict being written in front of her and being taken away. A smile appeared on her face that had only a faint expression at first.
The Queen was born in a family of officials and gentry, and paid great attention to the training of her children. She was gentle, courteous and thrifty and had all five virtues. When she was young, she was a talented and beautiful woman who was famous in the capital. No matter her talent or appearance, no one in the capital could compare with her at that time. She married the emperor at that time.
, it was not because the late emperor granted her the marriage, but because the emperor himself liked her.
This relationship, which was legendary at the time, was finally torn to pieces in front of everyone due to the death of the eldest son more than ten years ago.
But although time has failed the beauty, the beauty is still a beauty even when she gets old.
Even though there were fine lines at the corners of the queen's eyes, under this lamp, the emperor who stared at her in a trance seemed to have seen the shy and timid girl when he lifted the queen's hijab, as if he had seen her for the first time.
The next time I met her on the roadside of the palace wall, I had a startling glance from a distance.
His heart moved, and subconsciously, he gently grabbed one of the queen's hands and said softly, "Queen, do you still remember the first time we met?"
Remember, why don’t you remember?
When they first met, she was only twenty-eight years old. She attended a banquet in the palace with her parents. Those who could attend the banquet were all meritorious. However, the lively environment made her a little bored at the time. When she waited until the banquet was over, she followed
The mother left in a hurry. As she walked through a section of the palace wall, a group of people came towards her. The young master surrounded by them was dressed in casual clothes and walking in a hurry, as if he had just arrived at the palace.
Because she was curious and didn't know his identity, she couldn't help but look back when she walked for a while. By coincidence, a hundred meters away, the young man also stopped and looked back at her.
The two people's eyes intertwined and collided under the illumination of the palace lantern. After being startled, she quickly turned around, not daring to take another look.
Little did he know, that one look would seal his life.
The emperor, who was still just a prince at that time, was caught in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne, so he married her under pressure, regardless of the fact that her father and brother at the time were only neutral royalists and would not be his help.
On their wedding night, he was dressed in red, handsome and handsome, with bright eyes. When he lifted her hijab, he showed a smile. He seemed drunk, but it was clear that he didn't drink much that day...
"Yes, you and I were both young at that time. After we met for the first time, we fell in love with each other. Later, you married me despite the pressure. In order to marry me, you even went against the late emperor's original plan for you to marry me.
She was almost punished to kneel in front of the palace gate because of the decree to marry her." A trace of nostalgia flashed in the queen's eyes, and she sighed.
Thinking of this, of the handsome young man she once was, and of the love they shared as a young couple, the queen was moved for a moment.
But when we think about the past, we can't help but think of the arsenic poison that followed the sweetness, and the extreme pain that followed the joy.
She still remembers that when she gave birth to Ah Fu, he, who was still young at the time, ignored the rules, hugged his eldest son with a smile, and said to her who was still weak at the time, "Look, this is our son, you and him
, are all my treasures, I will cherish them."
I still remember the look in my eyes, so serious.
But the next moment turned into many years later, she was kneeling in front of the palace door on a late winter day, with tears streaming down her face, begging hard, but the palace door was closed tightly, the eunuch with a cold face, and the eunuch who was avoiding her could not see her.
The emperor directly killed her who was immersed in the love between husband and wife.
That day, it was really cold, very cold. The blue bricks on the ground were as cold as ice, making her kneel completely numb. The biting wind made her tremble in the wind outside, but all of this...
Not as cold as her heart at that time!
A loving couple should be cherished and valued. The person who gave them all died the moment they ascended the treasure.
Only one emperor survived.
First the emperor, then the husband, first the emperor, then the father.
Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but tighten her clothes.
But she could still remain calm, even with a trace of nostalgia. When the emperor was also sighing with emotion, she could still smile gently, as gentle as jade, and seemed to be no different from before.
"Maybe you don't believe it, but I have never forgotten you." The emperor said in a daze, thinking of the love he had in those days, especially thinking that when he was with the queen at that time, he was probably about the same age as Su Ziji now.
It was the time when I was young and handsome and high-spirited. I didn’t expect that so many years would pass by in a flash.
The time when he and the queen were in love not only represented the feelings of teenagers sharing the same hardships, but also represented the young self he once was.
"Queen," the emperor said, looking at the queen with bright eyes, "Why don't you stay here today? It's been a long time since we, an old couple, have been alone together."
The Queen's heart sank, and she declined with a smile: "Your Majesty, please put your health first and don't hurt yourself."
But the empress's polite refusal reminded the emperor more and more of the time when the empress, who was young and thin-skinned, often declined shyly like this.
Such words made the emperor's interest not lessened, and his heart became more and more heated. "Don't leave today."
After saying that, he said to the standing eunuch, "Today the queen is going to bed."
There was no room for rejection at all, and there was some doubt in his tone.
The queen frowned slightly and then lowered her eyes...
