yes.
No need to explain.
Emperor Yongfu herself didn't understand why she wanted to make such a fool of herself with Shen Nanbao.
As for Shen Nanbao, she didn't want to think about whether Emperor Yongfu was coerced into doing this. After all, everything had happened and the damage had been done. She didn't have the stomach to talk about forgiveness or turning conflicts into friendship, and she didn't want to. Such a big belly.
She was leaving anyway.
While Shen Nan Baojing was waiting for Xiao Yichen to take her to escape, the China tribe, a vassal of the Daxuan Dynasty, sent an envoy to Beijing. Logically, they should change into Daxuan costumes to appear in court. Unexpectedly, this time the envoy insisted on wearing the China costumes and Submit a letter asking Daxuan to recognize the independence of the China tribe and make Hu Peng the emperor.
The officials were naturally furious, but they still adopted some dovish ideas. They originally wanted to "treat them with graceful words to express their condolences", but unexpectedly the envoy disagreed and even became more and more scornful in his words.
The officials were so angry that they killed the envoys and punished a number of courtiers who advocated dove faction, including King Sheng Yi.
As a result, Shen Nanbao's marriage was postponed, and the theory of main attack became increasingly popular, and the war was about to break out.
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first. While confirming the attack, the officials reduced all expenditures in the DPRK and central government, all of which were used to collect grain and troops on the border. Unexpectedly, on the winter solstice of the third year of Yanguang's reign, the China tribe unexpectedly broke through the Yanmen Gate of Beisei with thunderous force, directly strangling the enemy. Nine stuffy throat.
When the news reached Gyeonggi Province, all the officials in the DPRK were shocked. From the initial scorn, the attitude of "just a clown" gradually turned from fear to fear.
Many ministers also once again put forward the idea of "turning hostilities into friendship", among which the most vocal one was the marriage proposal.
This time, the officials accepted it.
After the saint heard the news, he asked the officials to recommend Emperor Yongfu as the candidate for marriage, because his mother's family was the first to advocate marriage, and because he was the mother of the country and should put the country and the country first.
The officials were reluctant at first, but finally relented, and in the spring of the fourth year of Yanguang's reign, Emperor Yongfu was sent to the China clan for marriage. In order to appease the saint, the long-delayed marriage between Shen Nanbao and Sheng Shizhou finally started to get on track again.
At this time, it was already the first year of Yanguang's fourth year.
Without Feng Yue and Lu Kui, Shen Nanbao has been staying at home in the harem and rarely sees other empresses.
Others speculated that it was probably because Shen Nanbao was unhappy about that incident, but only Shen Nanbao knew that she was just afraid that she would be reluctant to leave her when it was time to leave.
Lifting the heavy door curtain, the warmth mixed with the fragrance of aloes rushed to my face. It was almost noon, but due to the falling snow, the unlit room looked a bit obscure. It took Zhuiyun a while to adapt to it before he could see the beads clearly. Sitting behind the curtain was Shen Nanbao.
Zhuiyun buried his head and walked in, "Emperor Ji, Yongfu Diji sent someone to invite you over."
I thought it was just another refusal, but unexpectedly the person sitting there moved and said, "Just change my clothes for me."
Shen Nanbao saw Chuyun's surprise, but did not explain it. It was not until he came to the palace of Emperor Yongfu and heard Yongfu ask about it that Shen Nanbao said: "You will have to leave soon. If I don’t come to see you, I’m afraid I won’t have this chance.”
It was a very light sentence, but Emperor Yongfu was silent for a long time.
Shen Nanbao didn't bother him. After saying this, he picked a chair and sat on it, silently listening to the sound of snow falling on the window outside the window.
I don't know how long it took, but Yongfu Diji's throat finally started to crackle, "I thought you came here to see my joke."
Emperor Yongfu suddenly turned around, her plump face and moist eyes reflected in the brilliant candlelight, "You asked me if one day, one day, my maid would push me out, I would be willing to do so. I Did I tell you that I still had a choice? In fact, I was lucky at that time... After all, I was her biological child, so I thought I would be different..."
People who have been eroded by power have no place for these feelings in their hearts.
Shen Nanbao didn't want to take issue with this. She knew that Emperor Yongfu understood it, and she also knew that Emperor Yongfu just wanted a way to vent all the resentment in her heart.
Sure enough, Emperor Yongfu in the side room said these words and then spoke to herself, "Actually, you were right at the time. I did all this just to make my mother proud of me, and I also hope that she can be proud of me." Look at me differently.”
Emperor Yongfu sighed suddenly, "I'm overthinking it. She doesn't care about me, her second brother, or the Sheng family."
Shen Nanbao said: "Just figure it out."
"But why?"
Emperor Yongfu pressed her lips and wiped her eyes with her fingers, turning them red. "Why doesn't she care about me at all? Ever since she was little, she has been so stingy even when I was sick, refusing to show any tenderness." Give it to me, even if you lie to me, it will make me feel better, and it will support me in deceiving myself."
Shen Nanbao looked at her, slowly becoming more and more like himself in the previous life.
At that time, I also asked, why? Why is my father so stingy and doesn't even give me any fatherly love?
The questioning over and over again was like a whip that repeatedly hit my heart. In the end, I was scarred, but my heart was not as gray as death.
However, compared to her, she was lucky. After all, Shen Shi was not her biological father, but the saint was the biological mother of Emperor Yongfu.
At this time, a palace official stood in the corridor holding a black lacquer tray, "The clothes from the Shangyi Bureau have been delivered. I asked Emperor Ji to take a look at them to see if there is anything I am dissatisfied with."
These words aroused the anger of Emperor Yongfu. She picked up the rouge water box and threw it out, "Get out! You bastard with poor eyesight! Didn't you see that I was talking to Emperor Yongle! You can't help but Excuse me here!"
The roar shook all the palace ladies in the corridor, and they all fell to the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
One after another, cymbals sounded like cymbals in Yongfu Diji's ears. She was so angry that she was shaking all over, but her voice became even harsher, "A bunch of guys who live for nothing, what else can they do except beg for mercy..."
Before he finished speaking, a low voice with no warmth sounded from outside, "You all, please step back."
As if they had received an amnesty, those palace men smashed their heads on the ground loudly, stood up with a crushing force, and retreated along the corridor.
Everything was silent for a while, and the only sound left was the sound of wind and snow hitting the door.
And Emperor Yongfu, who was still arrogant in the room just now, now only has a pale face.
Shen Nanbao sat on the stool and watched helplessly as the curtain lifted up, revealing the saint's solemn face.
"Honey Jin An."
The saint glanced at Shen Nanbao and raised the corners of his mouth a little, "It's rare to see Yongle come out."
Shen Nanbao still bent his knees, "I was afraid of the cold and didn't want to come out. But after hearing that sister Yongfu was feeling uncomfortable, I thought about it and came out. Although I couldn't do anything, I could at least accompany sister Yongfu and talk to her. Baby talk is good too.”
Probably because they didn't expect Shen Nanbao to be so straightforward, both Yongfu Emperor Ji and the saint were startled.
The saint turned his head and looked at the pale-faced Emperor Yongfu, a shadow suddenly covering her face, "I have been with you for a while, so Yong will go back to the palace to prepare for his own marriage. I saw Shang when I came. The people from the clothing bureau also sent your wedding dress over, but if you weren't here, they didn't know that the wedding dress wouldn't satisfy you."
Shen Nanbao also didn't want to talk to the saint.
To her, the saint was very scheming, and he might have fallen into her trap as he spoke. As the saint said this, Shen Nanbao bent his knees and was about to leave.
The always submissive Emperor Yongfu suddenly raised her head, "I haven't even said a few words to Yongle, why are you sending Yongle away in such a hurry?"
The saint was startled for a moment, and a layer of frost appeared on his face, "How presumptuous! Who taught you to talk to me like this?"
Emperor Yongfu clenched her fists, "Who taught me how to talk to you, my dear? Does it matter now? Anyway, I am a discarded child thrown out by you!"
She revealed these words openly, and the saint couldn't help but glance at Shen Nanbao.
Just such a look made Yongfu Emperor Ji tremble all over, and the tears in her eyes trembled out, "In your heart, I am not as good as Yongle. No, no, I can't even play the piano." Even worse than a palace order!”
The wall lamp hung high, shining on the red sandalwood carvings, giving off a dark light, which made the saint's face extremely obscure. However, she did not lose her composure after all. She glanced at Shen Nanbao like a cone. , "I still have something to say with Emperor Yongfu, please exit first."
Shen Nanbao said, just as she took a step forward, Emperor Yongfu unexpectedly grabbed her and said, "Don't leave, I have nothing to say to you personally."
As he said that, he looked at the saint with one eye and said, "If you have anything to say, please just say it in front of Yongle."
Being used to the obedience of Emperor Yongfu, she suddenly became so obedient, which made the saint blush and said in a deep voice, "Yongfu, do you know what you are saying?!"
This drink did not wake Yongfu Emperor Ji up, but made Yongfu Emperor Ji tighten her grip on Shen Nanbao, "I know what I am saying! I also know what you are thinking in your heart! Don't you just think about it? Hold your rights and your interests!"
There was no doubt, and the determined tone finally made the saint angry. She gritted her teeth and wanted to refute, but the sudden lack of words choked her.
As Yongfu Diji said, she had never thought about Yongfu.
What did it start with?
It was probably because of the palace, which was colder than night, day after day. When she watched the officials doting on her day after day, her pure heart that once beat for the officials finally became as silent as death. .
It was also from that time on that she put away all her feelings and fought for the sake of the emperor and empress, and... to become emperor.
Yes, she wants to be emperor!
Why can men do things but women can't?
She doesn't want to be the kind of woman who spends her days worrying about whether her husband loves her or not.
She wants to be the woman that all men compete to please for power and gain!
However, now, looking at the red eyes of Emperor Yongfu, the saint suddenly looked back and found that it seemed that she had given up too much on the path of pursuing the emperor, and even ignored her family ties.
But ask her, does she regret it?
No.
No regrets.
Once a person is eroded by rights, he will be eroded by rights throughout his life.
This little bit of family affection is nothing compared to the bowing of thousands of people and the respect of Yuji!
