I have been competitive since I was young, and I have always strived to be the best in everything I do. From the day I was adopted by my mother, I knew that I would be the common ruler of the world and would be respected by all the people.
However, the more noble your status, the greater your responsibility. My father asked me not to reveal my preferences in front of outsiders. I was still young at that time, and I was always greedy and playful. Every time my father found out, he would punish me by making me write big characters and spanking me. I hate writing big characters!
Hate spanking too!
Later, I grew up and became more sensible. I no longer asked for sweets and cakes, nor did I cling to my childhood playmates.
I still remember the day I first went to the battlefield. My mother cried bitterly. I didn't understand why she was so sad. I'm so strong and healthy, how could anything unexpected happen?
Later, I successfully retreated from the battlefield. My mother held me in her arms, looked at me again and again, touched me again and again, crying and laughing at times. At that time, I also thought that I might as well not go to the battlefield in the future.
But I know that is not possible. The country is in turmoil, and as the future crown prince, I cannot just sit back and watch.
So I ignored my mother's advice and insisted on continuing to fight the enemy.
Fortunately, perhaps because I was born lucky, I have escaped from the battlefield many times and won many battles. From now on, my people will no longer have to endure the suffering of war.
Later, after I ascended the throne, my mother took in several concubines. I actually didn't like them. I told my mother that if those people didn't want to marry me, I would never force them.
But they still married me. They obviously didn't like me, but despite this, I still provided them with good food, clothing and other expenses, because my mother told me that I was the king and should have my own children as soon as possible.
I listened to her, but no matter how hard they tried, they still had no children. They had all been checked and there was no way they could not conceive. The only problem was with me.
The imperial physician said that it was because I had been fighting wars all year round in the past few years, and the new and old injuries had damaged my bones, so it was difficult for me to have children.
When I heard the news, I was not actually that sad. After all, I am still young, and what is coming will eventually come.
But I have waited until I was thirty years old, and no one in the harem has ever been pregnant. People say that I am impotent. Those damned ministers asked me to adopt a child from the royal family. In fact, I have considered it, but if a hundred years after me, the world will still be named Xuanyuan, who can say for sure?
I thought that there would be no improvement in my life regarding offspring, until I met a very special woman.
She is different from anyone I have ever met. She is bold, unconventional, righteous and proud.
She is a good woman who cares about her country. When I first noticed her, I just treated her as a toy. After all, she was just a little palace maid, and I was the high and mighty king.
However, after I had that dream, everything seemed to become subtle. I approached her in the name of cultivating feelings, but in fact I just wanted to make the matter seem more legitimate.
But I felt that I still didn't take her to heart. Later, I left for a while without her, and that familiar, maddening discomfort lingered around me again. It turned out that I had become accustomed to her being by my side.
I rushed back, but she was fine a few days ago. Why did she become so fragile after I was away for just a few days? I was very anxious. It turned out that she occupied a place in my heart.
When I talked about these things with her later, she always smiled and said, "So you liked me back then."
I didn’t!
She seemed to be becoming more and more important. In order to compensate her, I took her out of the palace, and our relationship became closer. Just when I suggested that she could make a request to me, she actually said that she wanted to leave the palace.
I was so angry at that time. I favored her but didn't give her any status, which caused her to be bullied. Whenever I think of this, I always feel guilty. Why couldn't I ask her again?
But she was not angry with me. She was very, very, very good and forgave me so easily. I like her and I want her to stay and never leave me.
I was actually very surprised when she blocked the arrow for me. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be that important in her eyes, so why did she save me?
But what followed was tension and panic. I was scared. When I was almost beheaded by the enemy, I didn't feel any fear at all. But when she fell in front of me, I was scared. I was afraid that she would leave me like this. I haven't compensated her well yet. How could she leave me?
Fortunately, she is blessed and she is fine, which is the best thing.
To compensate her, I stayed in her palace for two months a year and gave her countless treasures. I knew the people in the harem were jealous, but I just wanted to give her the best.
She's very kind, always pushing me away and telling me to visit other palaces. Does she not love me? How can she say such things? But she kissed me, so... I'll just have to forgive her reluctantly.
Later, she became pregnant. I don’t know how to describe my feelings at that time. I just remember that I was so happy that day, not only because I had an heir, but also because my beloved had my child, my child with her.
From that moment on, I swore that I would never let her suffer any injustice again in this life.
When she gave birth to Ze'er Yu'er, who looked just like the girl in her dream, I actually noticed something was wrong. I vaguely felt like she had lost a piece of memory. She used to talk to the air sometimes, and I could actually guess vaguely what she was talking about.
