Chapter 87 Chapter 87 [VIP]
Shen Youyi nodded with tears in her eyes. Emperor Yuan Shuo kissed her tears and said, "Yiniang, you are so pitiful when you cry. Did you remember something?"
She was at a loss, her mind in a daze. She replied softly, "My illness seems to be much better. Please spare me, Henglang."
Emperor Yuan Shuo smiled and gently picked her up. The two rows of lotus leaves swayed, rippling green waves. Shen Youyi's sobs suddenly stopped. She gritted her teeth and hugged him for a long time. When she raised her eyes, she had a pleading look on her face again.
This medicine is indeed extremely powerful. She has learned her lesson and will never drug the emperor again!
"Yiniang's illness has been cured, and she wants to throw the doctor away first. How ungrateful! This is not a good habit."
Emperor Yuan Shuo held her with one hand and deliberately held the oar to rock the boat. He was obviously not a good boatman. After a few random movements, Shen Youyi struggled and startled a flock of gulls and herons.
He seemed like a bandit in distress, having abducted a young lady from an official family from nowhere to play with. He said thoughtfully, "I've seen you've been missing me for a long time. So, Yi Niang can't bear it?"
Shen Youyi dared not speak out her anger, and softly bit the corner of his clothes: "It's because your Majesty is too powerful, I can't stand it."
Emperor Yuan Shuo smiled and bargained with her: "Since I cured Yi Niang's illness, I must pay you some medical fees."
When the bandit leader and the emperor were the same person, Shen Youyi agreed spinelessly. However, when the effect of the medicine gradually wore off, she was so exhausted that she began to sob.
Emperor Yuan Shuo lifted her long black hair and kissed her eyes: "Yi Niang still owes a lot. If you don't pay it back soon, the interest will compound in the future. How can you bear it?"
Her eyes became moist, and when she half opened them, the spring beauty of the world was all there.
The summer night was cool, with the sound of cicadas chirping and the moonlight melting. The silvery moonlight made the colorful shawl look cool and refreshing. Shen Youyi thought about it and it didn't seem to matter whether she had to pay it back or not. It was just that she had been bullied so badly that she was very full. "Your Majesty, please ask for the debt in any way you want. I will do it."
Anyway, she is still young, and Emperor Yuan Shuo won’t torment her like this every day, right?
Emperor Yuan Shuo whispered a few words to her. Shen Youyi swallowed hard and confirmed, "Are you really going to the Taiji Palace?"
She could play the role of a palace maid seducing the king, but in the Taiji Hall where Emperor Yuanshuo held court and appointed the two concubines?
However, she felt that Emperor Yuan Shuo's interest seemed to have not completely subsided, so she had to continue listening.
The youngest daughter-in-law of the royal family, the hunter and the fox... the pampered aristocratic lady and the ambitious horse slave. When she was savoring the lingering aftertaste, a serious and old-fashioned man discussed the most shameless words with her in a pleasant manner. His voice was gentle and low, but his palm stayed on her waist, kneading her with moderate strength to relieve her fatigue.
She had just been through wind and rain, how could she withstand these gentle caresses? She was almost dizzy with his charm and agreed without thinking. But when she pecked and kissed his resolute face again, she sighed deeply.
If she said at this time that she still liked his hypocritical spirit, I wonder if Emperor Yuan Shuo would want to beat her to death here?
By the time she returned to the Purple Palace, the Third Prince had already been coaxed to sleep by his wet nurse. The Imperial Concubine Sui Chaojian had been carried back by the Emperor. Her face was rosy, but her eyes were closed with weariness. She only allowed the maids to change her silk dress, which was stained with pool water and flower juice. She whispered, "In the afternoon, the Imperial Uncle came to the palace to ask for an audience. He sat for half an hour, and when he saw that the Lady had not returned, he spoke a few words to His Highness and then left the palace."
The Tibetan king urged the great magistrate who refused to leave to go into battle, but he fell into a trap and was beheaded by her brother in front of his horse. Emperor Yuanshuo admired her brother very much and allowed him and Bai to enter and leave the palace at any time. However, Shen Huaian had just returned to the capital, and this was the first time he had entered the palace to see her.
He should have seen the child with her blood flowing in his veins, and at that time, she was enduring the storm on the boat, confused and happy.
Shen Youyi sighed softly. A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. My brother is the son of the Wei family. It is his fate to go down this path. Perhaps it is just a little later than originally planned.
Many men have liked her, hurt her, pitied her, and finally wanted to possess her, but she can only spend the rest of her life with one man.
When her brother entered the palace, he left her a treasure, saying it was a gift for her to be crowned queen, and asked her to open it on her wedding day... The emperor did not hide this thought from his close associates. As an elder brother, seeing his most beloved sister get what she wished for, he naturally wanted to do his part.
The palace had already been remaking a dress for her to wear for the coronation ceremony, but Emperor Yuan Shuo only issued this decree when the Third Prince's hundred-day banquet was held.
The emperor, who had a son in middle age, held the newborn Third Prince in his arms for the fortune teller Guo Xuan to examine. This descendant of Xu Fu felt the baby's bones, carefully examined his adorable face, and said with a smile, "Your Highness has the features of the sun-shaped corners and pearl-shaped forehead, dragon eyes and phoenix neck. This is the most noble. Jade lines run through the palms, and he has the appearance of soothing the inner peace and holding the seal."
Concubine Shen, he carefully compared the horoscopes of the two, and his conclusion was no different from that of other sorcerers. Although Concubine Shen had a peach blossom fate, she had Huagai in her prime, many Yin stars, and a destiny of Tiansha Guxing, but if they were combined, the two evil stars would cancel each other out, and she would live long and hard.
Emperor Yuanshuo was overjoyed and rewarded her generously. He immediately issued an edict to choose an auspicious day to confer the title of empress on the concubine, and named her Jinghuan, with the courtesy name "Mingyan".
, like the Yuanshuo Emperor and the King of Zhao, from the jade, only take a single word, the king is called Heng, wearing the top horizontal jade, control the behavior, hold the pivot, the King of Zhao is called Huang, wearing jade body,
When it came to the generation of the Eastern Palace, it was named Jing, with the courtesy name Zihui, and the Prince of Chen was named Jingzhi, with the courtesy name Ziyan.
However, the emperor's heart was biased towards his mother. Although she was the empress dowager, he personally welcomed her with the ceremony of the empress dowager, sat on the throne to receive congratulations, and issued a general amnesty, reducing the sentences of those sentenced to death and capital crimes by one level. He also selected two envoys from the prime minister to go to the Shen residence to welcome the empress into the palace.
Shen Youyi was already familiar with the process of being crowned empress several times. She only stayed at home for a total of three days, and had to accept the kowtow and farewell of her parents and relatives in the newly set up tent. After arriving at the palace, she and Emperor Yuan Shuo accepted the congratulations of the ministers and envoys from various countries.
The dark blue gorgeous clothes and the heavy, suffocating hair of flowers and trees added a touch of brilliance to the beautiful queen. The bright red lichen spread over the long imperial steps of Taiji Palace. Sitting upright on the sedan chair, she walked over the layers of red, supported by the female officials, and slowly walked towards the emperor who was waiting for her.
She was slightly startled. According to the female official's description, Emperor Yuan Shuo should be waiting for her on the throne.
However, he waited for her at the palace gate, which was very unbecoming.
In the hall, the ministers bowed their heads, drums and music sounded, the sound shook the heaven and earth, Shen Youyi mustered up his courage, and his hand shaking Emperor Yuan Shuo's was trembling.
It was lonely up there, but she wasn't afraid, just a little nervous and excited. Her emotions were transmitted to the person beside her through her clasped hands. Emperor Yuan Shuo smiled slightly and whispered, "Is Yi Niang happy?"
Shen Youyi couldn't turn sideways to look at him, so she could only sit with him as naturally and calmly as possible, and said softly: "It's like a dream, how can I not be happy?"
Emperor Yuan Shuo held her hand. Although he didn't look at her, he could see the beauty of her face that was more beautiful than rouge.
"I am the same."
Emperor Yuan Shuo spoke in a gentle voice. He couldn't wait to hold her hand and walk a little further with her. In less than a cup of tea, his joy almost overflowed.
This young and eccentric lady was his own wife. He loved her so much that he wanted to tell the world as soon as possible.
Establishing a queen is different from appointing concubines. It has always been cumbersome. However, this is the regulation that the emperor should follow. Although he found it troublesome, he had also appointed a queen according to convention. But it was not until today that he appreciated the taste of these ceremonies. He even hoped that they would be more grand to show how much he valued his wife.
It turns out that getting married is such an interesting thing, with flowers and brocade all over the city, and you don’t have to think about anything. Just follow the smiling messengers and ladies-in-waiting around you, and you will slowly enter the sweet years in the future.
"I am just as happy as Yi Niang." Emperor Yuan Shuo restrained his affection, but refused to let go of her hand. He said softly, "In my heart, I have long regarded Yi Niang as my wife."
His tone was too affectionate, and Shen Youyi's face turned slightly red, which only faded slightly when she sat with him in the tent of Zichen Palace.
Emperor Yuan Shuo caressed her soft cheek as they drank the wedding wine together. He watched his wife remove her hair crown and sighed softly, "I will never forget this wonderful event today."
Yi Niang on this day will probably remain in his vivid memory until he grows old.
Although Shen Youyi was a little tired, she felt much more energetic after the day. She smiled and scolded him for being smooth-talking, but went to ask Tan Rui to find the box that her brother had given her.
Her reputation as a charming concubine spread far and wide, and even her mother wouldn't blush and give her the secret pictures to learn. Although the box her brother gave her was exquisite, she saw that it could only hold a book or a gold hairpin or jade bracelet.
But when she opened the wooden box with her own hands, she couldn't help laughing.
The childish handwriting looked a little unfamiliar, but it was indeed her handwriting.
She turned a page, and the worries of her youth came flooding back.
The young girl was in love for the first time, but was scolded by her brother. She was so ashamed and angry that she wrote many words of breaking up with him in her daily notes. She said that she must find a husband who was outstanding in every way to annoy her brother to death and prove that she was right, even though she didn't know what this husband would be for.
Looking at the beautiful handwriting, she could imagine her fourteen-year-old self writing this on a sunny afternoon, with a look of longing and melancholy on her face.
So the fourteen-year-old Yi Niang decided to write a letter to her newlywed self, with many strange and confusing questions.
She asked, "Is my husband good to me? Is he handsome?"
Do I really like him, or is it that Brother Aye has chosen him as his favorite?
Shen Youyi raised her head, and the memories of her youth gradually became clearer, but the face of the beauty in the mirror became blurred.
Pearly tears rolled down her face, staining her freshly applied rouge and powder, but she was smiling.
Perhaps my brother saw it by chance and thought that one day he would be able to give this diary filled with the girl's childish thoughts to her at their wedding, but he did not do so.
Emperor Yuan Shuo held her shoulders from behind. His voice was steady and gentle, like a ray of light from the mist, piercing through the heavy sorrow: "It's a beautiful day, why are you crying, Yi Niang?"
Shen Youyi shook her head and made a request in a low voice. Although they were not newlyweds, it was absurd for the queen to leave the emperor alone to write a diary on the night of the coronation.
Fortunately, her husband has always been a patient man and does not mind her childishness and stubbornness.
Emperor Yuan Shuo was not in a hurry to enjoy his momentary pleasure with her. Seeing that she was absorbed in reading a notebook, he leaned over and pecked her forehead: "Yiniang always has many novel ideas."
In the study, the ink had already been ground by the maid. She no longer felt tormented when picking up the pen, but she hesitated longer than usual.
"Yiniang, you are still living a happy life now."
"You are already twenty-two years old this year, and you have a husband who truly loves you and a child."
"He was very handsome and treated you very well. Although you were angry with him and resented him through many things, you also truly loved him. If you lose your memory again in the future, don't be surprised to see this diary."
"I've thought about it over and over again, so I don't need to write so much to tell you. I've gone through so much trouble over the past seven years, and I'm not worried at all. If that day ever comes, His Majesty will still make me fall in love with him. Even if he grows all white hair and no longer looks as handsome as he does today, I will still love him."
She closed the thin book. This was the last page of the notebook.
After she filled the notebook, she might have imagined the surprise of opening it after a long time. But in reality, after she locked the notebook in her boudoir, she might have been invited by a playmate to go out with her, and she would have forgotten about the accusation against her brother.
Shen Youyi carefully placed it in a box filled with spices and locked it gently.
Emperor Yuan Shuo had discussed with her that after a hundred years, she should follow the example of ancient emperors and be buried in a simple manner.
Death is like the extinguishing of a light. It was enough for her to have enjoyed boundless wealth in her lifetime. She had no idea about those extravagant burial objects, but she wanted to carry many interesting things with her and her family.
Even if it was stolen by a tomb robber hundreds of years later, she would not feel ashamed if others saw her complicated girlish thoughts.
She loves His Majesty, and even if she loses her memory a thousand times, she will still love him a thousand times or ten thousand times.
This was her own secret, and perhaps she would tell it to the next generation, but she didn't want him to see even a single bit of the process.
He already knows the outcome anyway, doesn't he?
