Chapter 501 Emperor's
Love Vaguely, Concubine Liang saw the eldest princess shaking her clothes when she was a child: "Mother, Mingyu will build a big house in the future and take you out of the palace. She will hire a dozen maids to take care of you and let you live a life of luxury."
Her eyes were blurred with tears, and Concubine Liang touched Jiang Bining's face: "Mingyu, my Mingyu, mother... mother is leaving. You have to take good care of little Aning. Tell little Aning that grandma... grandma is very... reluctant to let her go, but grandma... can't see her get married." Jiang Bining
almost cried like a tearful person and held Concubine Liang's hand tightly: "Grandma, don't go, Aning... Aning is reluctant to leave you, wuwuwu..."
The eldest princess stood at the door, not even having the courage to get closer.
Seven-year-old Jiang Huaizhen looked up at his mother's tears, pursed his lips, and started crying.
He didn't know why he was crying, he was just infected by the sad mood and couldn't help crying.
Jiang Xinyue retreated behind the screen and gave the space to Jiang Bining, hoping that she could say goodbye to Concubine Liang properly. As soon as she
stepped out, she saw the eldest princess crying with her eyes closed.
She sighed, took Shuangjiang's hand and walked over: "Go in quickly! This is her last breath."
If you don't go, you may not see Concubine Liang for the last time.
For more than ten years, Concubine Liang has been thinking about the emperor's death so that she can leave the palace to spend her remaining years.
Unexpectedly, she walked ahead of the emperor.
The eldest princess opened her eyes, wiped the tears from her face, nodded to Jiang Xinyue, and walked in without saying a word, holding Jiang Huaizhen's hand.
Jiang Xinyue looked up at the sky: "Why do I feel that the sun is particularly dazzling today?"
A line of tears fell from her eyes, and she felt inexplicably sad in her heart.
Shuangjiang looked at the gloomy sky. There was no sun at all. The queen just found an excuse for her tears.
Shuangjiang's nose was sour: "Empress, where are we going?"
"To Chengqian Palace to find the emperor."
It has been seventeen years since she traveled to the Great Yan Dynasty. She has grown from a fifteen-year-old girl to an adult in her thirties. She has developed feelings for every tree and grass, every object and every scene here, not to mention a living person.
She said that in this palace, she didn't trust anyone but herself.
At the beginning, everyone here was just a piece of paper to her.
She thought she was playing a maiden strategy game. As long as she took down the emperor, she could live a happy and beautiful life.
But as time went by, she realized that everyone here was alive, with flesh and blood, and had their own personality and emotions.
She also gave her feelings without realizing it.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here..."
Tang Shiliang was the only one standing next to the emperor.
As Wang Dechong got older, his health deteriorated. Tang Shiliang arranged a house for him outside the palace and hired four or five servants to serve him, in addition to several cooks to cook.
However, the old man couldn't sit still, and went to Zhang Xiuzhu's daughter's wine shop every day to help with the accounting. It just so happened that Zhang Xiuzhu also often came to see him, in order to prevent the servant from bullying the master and Tang Shiliang from not being able to get the news in time in the palace.
Standing behind Tang Shiliang was his godson Xiao Yuezi.
Ever since the emperor heard the news that Concubine Liang was critically ill, he has been standing in front of the window, without even changing his posture.
Gusts of cold wind blew, causing Xiao Yuezi to shrink his neck.
The emperor didn't say anything, so Tang Shiliang quietly opened the door and let Jiang Xinyue in.
The cold wind penetrated the entire inner room. Jiang Xinyue stepped forward and closed the window: "Does the emperor want to catch a cold too?"
The emperor's face was already frozen and unconscious. He turned his head to look at Jiang Xinyue: "I am recalling what the scene was like when I first met Concubine Liang, but no matter how hard I think about it, I can't remember it."
"Not only Concubine Liang."
He lowered his eyes: "Empress Zhu, Concubine Li Gui, Concubine De, Concubine Shu... I can't remember them all."
Even Yue'er...
He only remembered that they first met on the other side of the lotus pond.
As Yue'er said, he was a promiscuous man. Those women who gave their lives for him wasted their years in the deep palace, and he couldn't even remember what they looked like when they were young.
The emperor is getting older, and he has been missing the past more and more recently.
Jiang Xinyue once heard someone say that when a person misses the past more and more, and always talks about the past to others, it means that he is really old.
And Jiang Xinyue, who is in her prime, is no longer the little girl who needs to act silly and coquettishly.
"The emperor has never been sincere to them, how can he remember his first meeting with them? To the emperor, they are just tools to make up for the lack of the emperor's childhood." Empress
Dowager Wu's niece, the sinner Wu, is the emperor's missing maternal love, Li Guifei is the emperor's passionate yearning for freedom, Liang Fei and De Fei are just the biological mothers of the princes and princesses, and are tools for him to pass on his family line.
The first emperor was a housekeeper who handled trivial matters for him. Jiang Xinyue combined the strengths of the Wan family and met all the emperor's requirements for his other half, so she became the emperor's favorite.
Of course, Jiang Xinyue never denied that she relied on the emperor's favor to get to where she is today.
In other words, it was the emperor who allowed Jiang Xinyue to be evenly matched with him, and it was the emperor who allowed her to have the qualifications to challenge him.
He allowed her to be on an equal footing with him.
This emperor, he was too lonely.
The emperor suddenly smiled: "Only you dare to tell me the truth."
Jiang Xinyue sighed, stepped forward and held the emperor's hand: "But these are not the emperor's fault. A person's heart is only so big. If you can hold the world, you can't hold love. The emperor... just be a good emperor."
There are many good husbands in the world. But there is only one good emperor in the world.
Jiang Xinyue was very determined in her goal from the beginning. She did not seek love, but power.
Now the emperor had only her by his side. Even if the emperor only loved her a little, he had given her everything.
She could not love the emperor, but she had to let him know that no matter how the world changed, she would stay with him and never leave him.
"Does Yue'er really think so?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Xinyue nodded vigorously, her eyes firm enough to join the party: "The emperor has given all the few loves between men and women to me. If I don't cherish it and always blame the emperor for loving the people more than me, then I am too ungrateful."
He was not wrong to be an emperor and a good emperor.
It was Concubine Li and the others who thought too highly of themselves and thought that love should be above everything else.
But in the emperor's heart. The people of the world are the first, so they are crazy.
Jiang Xinyue just agreed with the emperor putting the world first. She never competed with the emperor's ideals, and even helped the emperor love his people and his world. Therefore, it was easy to get the emperor's love.
