Chapter 800 Resentment
In the tall and majestic palace, the golden glazed tiles shine brightly in the sun.
Yuchen is both familiar and unfamiliar with everything here. Familiar because she has lived here for several years; unfamiliar because she feels that it seems to have happened in the previous life.
A young eunuch led Yuchen into the Huaqing Palace, and said respectfully: "The emperor will be here soon, please wait a moment." The owner of the palace is just a puppet, and the real ruler is Yan Wushuang. Everyone knows. So even if he disdains Yuchen in his heart, he is still very respectful on his face.
The tea has been changed three times, but Zhou Yan hasn't shown up yet. Nanny Gui was a little annoyed, and asked the little eunuch waiting next to her, "Will the emperor come over?"
The little eunuch said with trepidation: "The emperor will definitely come, maybe it was delayed by something."
Yuchen stopped Nanny Gui and said, "It's okay, just wait a little longer." Zhou Yan didn't want to see her, this Yuchen knew about it, and it was fine before, but this time she couldn't let Zhou Yan Nonsense.
After waiting for another half an hour, Zhou Yan finally arrived. Although Yan Wushuang did not kill Zhou Yan, he restricted his words and deeds. In the past ten years, all the eunuchs and maids who have gotten closer to Zhou Yan will disappear soon. As for the gentlemen arranged by Yan Wushuang, they only taught him the Four Books and Five Classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and did not teach the strategies and strategies of governing the country.
Ten years of living as a puppet left Zhou Yan with no one close to him. This kind of mental torture made Zhou Yan sensitive and vulnerable.
Seeing Yuchen, Zhou Yan asked coldly: "What are you doing here? Didn't I say that I don't want to see you?"
Zhou Yan was very clingy to Yuchen when she was a child, but now she is so indifferent that she doesn't even want to see her. This made Yuchen's heart twist like a knife: "Yan'er, the prince has already promised to choose another queen for you, why don't you want to?"
Zhou Yan sneered, and said, "I think Xia Jing is pretty good, there is no need to replace her." Although he hated Xia Jing very much and wanted to replace her several times, but this time he really had a chance, but he changed his mind. Because he knew that even if he changed Yan Wushuang, it wouldn't be any good for him.
Yuchen said painfully; "Yan'er, I know you hate me, but no matter how much you hate me, you can't joke about your life's event! Yan'er, that's your whole life."
Zhou Yan laughed: "For the rest of my life? I'd rather be a puppet for the rest of my life, and I'd rather be freed sooner." He really didn't want to live through such endless days. But if Yan Wushuang doesn't allow him to die, he won't be able to die, so death has become a luxury for him.
When Yuchen heard this, he stepped forward and wanted to grab Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan avoided him. Zhou Yan said: "Don't touch me, I think it's dirty."
When Yuchen heard this, he couldn't stand still, and he was shaky. Nothing hurts more than such words.
Nanny Gui stepped forward to support Yuchen, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, how could you say such things to your empress? If your empress hadn't wanted to protect you, she would not have committed herself to Yan Wushuang back then. Anyone can say that your empress , it’s up to you.”
Zhou Yan stared at Yuchen and said: "I would rather be killed by the swallow thief that day than live like this. Also, you are obviously greedy for life and afraid of death, but you still use the name of protecting me, don't you Do you feel ashamed?" Zhou Yan lived a very depressed life, so he acted a little extreme. It's just that he was afraid of Yan Wushuang, so he was a little trembling when facing Yan Wushuang. But facing Yuchen, he can use the most vicious words to attack.
Yuchen asked: "Ants still steal their lives, how can you have the idea of committing suicide at such a young age?" After a pause, Yuchen said: "I know you have a hard life, and your mother has a hard life. But as long as we In life, there is hope, in death, there is nothing.”
Zhou Yan looked at the pillar engraved with golden dragons beside him and said, "I am dead or alive,
You don't need to worry about it. You have other things, if not, I will go back to the palace. "
Seeing Zhou Yan's disgusted look, Yuchen asked, "Yan'er, are you really not going to change?"
Zhou Yan said expressionlessly: "Yan Wushuang won't let me leave any heirs. If that's the case, why bother to harm a girl from a good family." Seeing that Yuchen wanted to say more, Zhou Yan said: "Do you know? In fact, I am very envious of my sister, she left early, so she doesn’t have to suffer like me.” Those who survived suffered instead.
Yuchen opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
Zhou Yan walked out with the little eunuch, stopped at the door, turned his head, looked at Yuchen and said, "Just treat me as dead, don't enter the palace again, even if I enter the palace, I won't see you again You." Since meeting is painful, why bother to see you again!
Far away from the palace, Zhou Yan stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of Huaqing Palace, with tears in the corners of his eyes. In fact, Zhou Yan didn't hate Yuchen, he knew that Yuchen couldn't help himself, and he even believed what Nanny Gui said. But now he is a fish on the chopping board, getting closer to Yuchen will only bring her disaster. Anyway, he couldn't get out of this cage, and he didn't have a good life for a few years. It's better to turn against Yuchen, so at least she won't be sad after he dies.
Seeing Yuchen stunned, Nanny Gui said worriedly: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, the emperor's words are all angry, don't take it to heart."
Yuchen burst into tears again when he heard this: "I don't blame him, I know he's suffering. I'm useless. If I had Yuxi's ability, I wouldn't let him suffer so much. It's a crime." It was because she was powerless to change this situation that she devoted herself to playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in order to escape the pain caused by reality.
Nanny Gui grabbed Yuchen's hand and said, "Your Majesty, you can't think nonsense. Your Majesty, besides the Emperor, you also have the princess and the prince!"
Yuchen shook her head and said, "I'm not a good mother." Whether it's for Yan'er or Abao and Achi, she is not a competent mother.
Before Nanny Gui could speak, Yuchen clutched his chest and said to himself, "It would be great if I hadn't been rescued back then? If I died, it would be over, and I don't have to suffer this kind of heartache again."
Nanny Gui's complexion turned pale, and Yuchen had entered a dead end: "Mother, if the Princess and the Elder Son hear this, they should be sad."
Abao and Achi are very filial to Yuchen. Thinking of this, Yuchen burst into tears: "Having a mother like me is the misfortune of Abao and Achi." Because of her remarriage, Abao and Achi were often criticized in private, and this, all was implicated by her.
After returning to the palace, Yuchen collapsed.
Seeing Yuchen who had passed out, Nanny Gui was terrified, so she hurriedly sent someone to invite the doctor, and at the same time sent someone to inform Abao and Achi. Yuchen is now at the tip of his horn, and needs the company of Abao and Achi to get over this hurdle as soon as possible.
When Abao returned to the backyard, Yuchen had already woken up. Abao said angrily: "Mother, I told you not to enter the palace long ago, why didn't you listen?" In my memory, every time Yuchen came back from the palace, he was in a low mood, and it would last for a long time a period of time. Therefore, Ah Bao was very reluctant for Yuchen to go to the palace.
Seeing Abao, Yuchen couldn't help but think of Zhou Yan again, and tears fell again.
Ah Bao was helpless, and said: "What can you say? Crying can't solve the problem?" A strong mother makes the child weak, and a weak mother makes the child strong. These words couldn't be more suitable for Yuchen. It is also because of Yuchen's weakness that Ah Bao has a strong personality, and Ah Chi does not show it on the face, but he is not easy to bully.
Yuchen choked up and said, "It's the concubine mother who hurt you."
Ah Bao frowned and said, "What happened? Tell me, and we will find a way to solve it."
Seeing that Yuchen was just crying and not talking, Ah Bao threw the whip on the table next to him and said irritably, "Don't cry."
Nanny Gui knew that Ah Bao's temper was a bit grumpy, seeing that the situation was not going well, she hurriedly said: "Because of her status, the empress feels that she has hurt the princess and the eldest son."
Abao was angry and annoyed: "Did Zhou Yan say something unpleasant? Mother Concubine, you should not go to see him in the future. He doesn't treat him like your mother, so why bother to find yourself uncomfortable! "
Yuchen shook his head and said, "Your elder brother didn't say anything, but mother felt sorry for you." He didn't want A Bao to have feelings for Zhou Yan, which would not be a good thing for Zhou Yan.
It's strange for Abao to believe this: "Concubine Mu, you still protect him until now? When did he show you a good face all these years?" She couldn't figure out what Zhou Yan was thinking. He is only willing to die when his mother and concubine die.
At this moment, Ah Chi came over. Seeing Yuchen's pale complexion, Achi asked with concern: "Mommy, what did the imperial doctor say? Is it okay for the concubine?" Abao's personality is very outgoing, while Achi's is more reserved.
Sister Quan said respectfully: "Master, the imperial doctor said that your mother is overthinking and depressed." If you don't relax your mind, your body will not get better.
Ah Chi stood by the bed and asked, "Mother, why did you rush to the palace to meet the emperor this time, why?" Ah Chi called Zhou Yan the emperor, and Ah Bao replaced him with that person, neither of them called. Brother Zhou Yan's.
Yuchen didn't know how to speak. Seeing this, Ah Chi looked at Nanny Gui.
Nanny Gui weighed it in her heart and said: "My lord, this time the empress is looking for the emperor for the post-election matter. The second girl of the Xia family was cruel and heartless at a young age, and she has already killed more than a dozen people. The empress thinks that such a woman It was not a good match, so I asked the prince to change. The prince agreed, but the emperor himself did not agree."
A Chi looked very calm, and asked: "Since the emperor is unwilling to change, it must be because of his concerns and thoughts."
Ah Bao interjected: "Mom, since he himself doesn't agree to the replacement, what are you doing in such a hurry?" After all, he is young and doesn't know how it feels to be a mother.
Yuchen smiled wryly: "It's not that your eldest brother doesn't want to change people, he is resenting mother for deliberately confronting mother. But this marriage is a lifelong event, how can you be angry."
Bao was very impatient.
Achi thought for a while and asked: "Mother, just now the nanny said that the second daughter of the Xia family was cruel and heartless, is this true?" Seeing Yuchen nodding, Achi said: "Mother, if that is the case, then let the minister pick her again." Choose someone!" Zhou Yan disagreed, as long as his father and king agreed to change.
Yuchen was a little tangled, if this happened, Zhou Yan would be even more angry.
Achi had to be more decisive than Abao, and said: "Mother, if you feel embarrassed, I will tell my father. But what kind of woman do you want to choose for the emperor, you have to tell my father in person." This is not true. What a big deal, Achi felt that there was no need to be so entangled.
Yuchen said: "I have already told your father and king that I want to choose a girl who is gentle and knowledgeable for your elder brother."
Ah Chi nodded and said, "I'm going to tell my father right away."
Yuchen took Achi's hand and said: "Achi, it's useless to be a mother, I'm going to make things difficult for you."
A Chi held Yuchen's hand behind his back and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? I am your son. If I don't help you solve any difficulties you have, who else can solve them?" The battle inside the palace The strife and strife made Achi mature prematurely.
Seeing Ah Chi go out, Ah Bao said, "Mother, I'll go with brother." If the father disagrees, she will grind hard, and she must grind to get the father to agree.
Yuchen felt bitter and astringent in her heart.
In the front yard, Ah Chi asked Ah Bao to wait outside. He was afraid that Abao's violent temper would cause bad things. Although Ah Bao was reluctant, he knew how to measure it and waited outside.
Seeing Yan Wushuang, Achi asked: "Father, did the second daughter of the Xia family really have a dozen lives in her hands?" He had to really confirm the authenticity of the news.
Yan Wushuang nodded and said, "It's true."
Ah Bao opened his eyes wide and said: "So cruel?" Don't look at Ah Bao's hands never leaving the whip, but at most it can beat people to pieces and make people half-dead in pain, and no human life was on his hands.
Achi said: "Father, if Miss Xia becomes the queen, father will definitely be criticized." The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs must say that Yan Wushuang did it on purpose.
Yan Wushuang looked at A Chi, smiled and said: "Who dares to criticize this king?" If anyone dares to criticize him, he will take his life directly. Of course, Yan Wushuang meant it on the surface, and he couldn't hear it behind his back.
A Chi didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Father, choose a woman who is knowledgeable, sensible, and gentle for the emperor. She won't provoke criticism, and my mother won't feel sad. Isn't this the best of both worlds."
Yan Wushuang liked Ah Chi's frankness, and said with a smile: "It's rare for my son to speak, and the father agreed." It was a way to save face for his son.
Achi said respectfully: "Thank you, Father."
Meng Nian sent A Chi away, turned back and said, "My lord, you can let the son get in touch with the government."
Yan Wushuang nodded and said: "When the new year is over and the first month is out, let him get in touch with government affairs." In terms of talent, Ah Chi and Yun Qihao are evenly matched. But Ah Chi is a waste of martial arts, which is not as good as Yun Qihao, and this is also the most depressing part of Yan Wushuang.
Knowing what Yan Wushuang was thinking, Meng Nian said, "No one is perfect. My son doesn't know martial arts, so it's enough to pick more personal protection with strong martial arts."
Yan Wushuang thought about one thing, and said: "I remember that Yun Qihao was born on the first day of the first lunar month. It was said to be in the middle of the night, but we couldn't find out the exact time. You said, Yun Qing and Han Yuxi took Yun Qihao's The time of birth is so well hidden, will something happen?"
Meng Nian felt that Yan Wushuang was thinking too much, so he immediately said, "How could something as important as the birth date be leaked out. If someone with ulterior motives uses it to do something about it, the child will not be harmed." The birth date, Only the parents know, and outsiders know very little.
Yan Wushuang frowned and didn't say any more. (to be continued)
