Emperor Xiaochun's Perspective
The sun is shining brightly today again. The sun is rising day by day. It is really energetic.
I have no energy, I am very annoyed.
Those people in the court just now were always at odds with me. They pointed fingers at me just because they were about the same age as me. It was really annoying.
But I can't help them, because...
What they said is right.
How long have I been emperor? For five years, yes, I got up at midnight every day to go to court. It was a busy day until I fell asleep at midnight.
But this is my responsibility.
Just like it is my responsibility to favor the concubines in the harem.
The imperial concubine Zheng has been very domineering recently and even dared to bully Yaya. That's Yaya, my queen, how dare she.
Because she has a brother who I can rely on, Zheng Huan won another battle. He has won hundreds of battles in a row, which is quite impressive.
But Yaya was not happy, I knew that, so I specially picked the most beautiful gold hairpin to give to her. Yaya didn't pay much attention to me. I was unhappy but also helpless.
The imperial concubine is pretentious and domineering, but now there are frequent wars in all directions, and I have no one to use. Yaya can understand, she was just angry for a moment, I don't blame her, I hope he doesn't blame me either.
My sons are all growing up slowly. The eldest is a good man, good at both civil and military skills, but I hope he will go to the battlefield to experience. He is destined to be the future emperor. I told Yaya how an emperor who grew up in the palace’s greenhouse is worthy of such a big responsibility. Yaya said, “I agree with your majesty’s decision. Let me go and practice now.”
Ah, now, Li Luansong is only ten years old.
I don't agree. My eldest son is too young and I can't bear to let him go.
But Yaya said that this was his fate. He was the eldest son of Daye and the future prince. He must grow up faster than others. However, I still disagree. Yaya had a quarrel with me and scolded me for my kindness as a woman.
This woman is really too much. She only scolded me when she was a child. Now that I am the emperor, she still dares to scold me.
I went to find the imperial concubine. Mrs. Zheng is gentle, but I don't like the strong smell of makeup and powder on her body, and her face that looks like an opera singer.
Yaya is still beautiful, my queen is the most beautiful.
The second child is also in the imperial concubine's palace. This child is very self-restrained and courteous. He is more honest and cautious than the eldest son, and also more timid than the eldest son. I specially praised him, there was light in his eyes.
He is a good boy and his second child is capable.
I have several children, but I dislike the fifth one the most. He is very much like his brainless mother, who only cares about the present and not the future. This child always does things that injure the enemy a thousand times and hurt himself eight hundred times.
The third child is frail, and I think it would be great if he can grow up safely.
The seventh child is a powerful man, with brute strength but a pure mind. This child can become his eldest brother's right-hand man in the future.
The eighth child is still young and looks very similar to the eldest child. His mother and concubine passed away pitifully. I took him with me to educate him so that he would not be taken advantage of by people with bad intentions and lead my son astray.
I am so busy, busy handling government affairs, busy taking care of the harem, busy fighting wars, busy competing with those ministers...
In the blink of an eye, my sons have grown up, but I have also made mistakes.
I wanted to train everyone, and I gave them a chance, but only the second child performed well, and the seventh child had a very high martial arts value. This can be seen from an early age.
The fifth child is of no use, so forget it. In the future, he will be an idle prince. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, he will be safe and worry-free in this life.
The eldest is fourteen years old, and Yaya insists on letting him practice. Although I am reluctant to let him go, I still let him out. My son is still so young, but he looks very excited.
I gave the power of Zhu Pi to the second child. This child is obedient and does well in whatever I tell him to do.
But now I know that I was wrong.
Zheng has such a brother who has military power. She will teach her son to be ambitious. This mother and son deceived me.
Zhu Piquan made the second son see his rights, and his heart expanded little by little. I made many mistakes, but what I regret most is that I should not have allowed my sons to become jealous, compare and compete with each other.
My sons finally turned against each other. I lost several sons, and even the eldest son was no longer close to me.
Yaya is also angry with me, blaming me for being too indulgent towards Zheng, but I am helpless. If Zheng Huan doesn't go to fight, Li Luansong will go to fight. I don't want my son to be in danger.
Yaya and I always quarrel, and our relationship is not as good as before, and I am very unhappy.
Finally, everything happened, Zheng Huan rebelled, Zheng and the second child rebelled, the fifth child was killed by Zheng Huan, and the second child finally let me see his true face, and I felt very sad.
This time Yaya didn't blame me, it was still Yaya, only Yaya was by my side.
If it weren't for Li Luansong and Shen Que, my empire would be gone.
Speaking of Shen Que, I think this woman is really good, but sometimes I look at her as if I'm looking at my own son. What's going on? I may be old and dazzled.
Daye passed the most difficult stage, and my Song'er was indispensable, as well as Shen Que.
The two of them have a good relationship. Both I and Yaya believe that Shen is indeed my daughter-in-law and the future queen of Daye. What's more, Yaya said that the Shen family is rich. Oh my God, I am short of money, but I can't lose face.
However, Yaya said that the two of them separated, and it seemed that Song'er had made Shen Que angry.
Young people, they are separated at every turn. They really don’t know how to cherish. Why, I don’t understand. Yaya said she understood and asked me not to worry about my son’s affairs.
She said: "This is the path Song'er should take. He cannot avoid it. Only by experiencing it can he grow up."
But what if Shen Que gets married? Such a good wife, so much money...
My daughter-in-law is gone, my son is not well, and Yaya is too lazy to take care of me. I feel bored sitting alone in the sun.
I am a failed father, but I am also a failed husband, but I should be considered a good emperor.
I heard that there was another war, and the old ministers came to see me, not wanting the prince to go.
Now that the prince is supervising the country, I don't care anymore, my body can't bear it anymore. But Yaya said that I should persuade them to let Song'er go, and I was reluctant to part with it, but what Yaya said must be right, and I listened to Yaya.
That group of old die-hards were said to be kneeling at the city gate to prevent the prince from conquering the city himself. Hey, they are a bunch of fools. Song'er has already left.
Yaya and I are waiting for our son to come back, looking forward to it every day, until the Chinese New Year...
What came back was the news that Song'er had been killed in battle.
I fainted. Yaya said that I had been in a coma for three days and I didn’t want to live anymore.
Yaya and I are crying together, what should we do? But Yaya said that Song'er would not die so easily and asked me to wait.
Sure enough, my Song'er is not dead, but this news cannot be told. Song'er is working as an internal agent among the bandits. I am waiting for the news in the palace, and all the government affairs are in my hands.
I vowed to help my son protect the country.
After the new year and spring, I heard that Song'er had found Shen Que. I didn't know exactly what happened, but Yaya said everything was fine.
They finally came back, and they brought back my eldest granddaughter, my little Liuzi, how can she be so cute? This girl looks so good-looking, just like me.
My Song'er has ascended the throne, and she and Shen Que are finally getting married. I am happy. I have sent many things to my father-in-law, and the treasury has been emptied. But I am not afraid. I have married the daughter of the God of Wealth as my daughter-in-law. Are you afraid of lack of money?
I am looking at the long term.
These old guys, I think they are tired of living, and they want to give my son a woman.
I was very angry, and Yaya was even more angry, but Yaya said, let them handle it themselves, we can just watch, I believe they can handle it well.
Yaya is right, my daughter-in-law is very powerful, she handled the situation neatly and satisfactorily.
Shen was indeed born to be a queen.
Lao Qi came to me and said that he wanted to marry the youngest daughter of the God of Wealth.
Look, my sons are so powerful that they must be married. I once again went bankrupt. Of course, this cannot be said. I moved out all the small treasury that I had saved for many years.
This is called being reluctant to let go of your son and not being able to ensnare the God of Wealth.
Are they all happy things? Of course not.
Li Luansong and Shen Que didn't want to have children. Like the veterans, I wanted them to have children, but Yaya said don't worry about it. The children have their own plans, and I listened to Yaya.
However, they still gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. I finally had a grandson. The little prince was born, and I felt relieved.
I have Liu Zi, Ping Ping and An An, and Yaya and I are happy every day. My grandchildren are smarter now, and I am very happy.
But Li Luansong didn't go to court every day, and he didn't know where he went, so he left all the government affairs to me.
Now that I am old, I have to help them take care of their children and manage government affairs. I am not happy.
Yaya said: "Don't be unhappy. We are idle when we are idle. Help the children. If they have a good relationship, they can have more children."
I listen to Yaya.
Sure enough, my daughter-in-law gave birth to a fourth and fifth child again. Now I have three grandchildren and two granddaughters. I think to balance it, it is best to have another granddaughter, three boys and three girls. Yaya said I am too greedy.
I am so greedy, I want my son and daughter-in-law to be well, I want my grandchildren to be well, I want all the people in Daye to be well, I want everyone to be well, and what I want most is Yaya.
Yaya and I have known each other since childhood. We are childhood sweethearts. I like Yaya, and I only like Yaya in this life.
I made mistakes, I was sorry to Yaya, and I regretted it very much, so when I got older, I tried to compensate Yaya twice as much, but I don’t know if it would work. If it’s not enough, I will continue to compensate Yaya in my next life and be a cow and a horse for Yaya.
Yaya and I have always been together. This is the happiest and proudest thing in my life. Yaya is still the Yaya she was when she was young, so beautiful and charming.
I am very happy and contented in my life. Now I have many children and grandchildren, and the people of Daye live and work in peace and contentment. I have done a good job as an emperor. I will have bragging rights when I meet my ancestors in the future...
I was leaving, and I tried very hard to walk behind Yaya, because the one who left first was ignorant, and the one who stayed must be very sad, but I was not in good health, so I still walked in front of Yaya, Yaya cried so sadly, I thought, I will go over there and wait for Yaya. In the next life, I only want Yaya...
purple perspective
Many people asked me whether the eldest princess of Daye was very happy.
I think it is.
My parents love me very much, even more than my brothers and sisters, because I am their first child, they said.
My birth was very meaningful.
Since I was born, I have been surrounded by many people, including my grandma, grandma, godfather, and godmother. However, I was still very young at that time and could not call me godfather.
My godfather loves me very much. He plays with me every day and buys me a lot of delicious and fun things. He lets me do whatever I want and hangs around me every day when he is free.
Once, Mrs. Diao abducted me. She was very fat, and I was also very fat. She couldn’t carry me, so she left me on the roadside. I cried, crying hard. I wanted to go home, so she left me there. Leave me alone.
At this time, a man came, who was not bad looking. Later, my mother-in-law said that he was my father, my biological father. But I didn't like him at that time, why, because my mother-in-law didn't like him at that time, and I didn't like what my mother-in-law didn't like.
Later, my mother-in-law liked him again, and I started to like him too.
I think it's because he is very good at flattering grandma.
It turns out that my father loved me so much, promised me everything, and gave me many, many things.
Later, we were about to return to the capital, and my mother-in-law began to teach me the rules, saying that I was the eldest princess and should behave like an eldest princess. I began to learn poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, and music, and began to call my father my father and my mother's queen. .
Everyone must bow when they see me. I can no longer lose my temper at will and must do my best in everything. Those things weren't hard to learn and I did pretty well. My imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother also liked me very much. Later, my father, the emperor and my mother asked them to be stricter with me, so my imperial grandfather began to teach me riding, shooting, writing, and many other principles.
Grandfather is very powerful and knows everything. I admire him very much.
As I grew up, my mother's demands on me became higher and higher. I learned to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, order tea, make incense, and make red wine. I also learned to read account books and do business from my mother.
My mother-in-law said that I should know everything so that I can be qualified to set an example in the future.
Later, I had younger brothers and sisters. They were a pair of twins, who were named princes. As the eldest princess, I became their role model.
My father gave me a gold necklace. I thought it was very beautiful. He said that it was left to me by my father-in-law. I have never seen this person. Why did he give me something? Later I found out that it belonged to my father. Da Ban'er, a person who left for my father, is my father's savior. I am very grateful to him.
Three years later, we returned to Jufeng. I saw my godfather Chen Da and my grandmother. They were both very good. My godfather also had his own child, and I became a sister again.
A few years later, the mother gave birth to fourth and fifth brothers.
These two people are very naughty. I have grown up and often teach them. They are quite afraid of me. Even the prince respects me. My younger brothers and sisters have grown up very well. They all say it is because of me, the eldest princess. Well, I'm a good role model.
When I was sixteen years old, my father found a prince-in-law for me. He was very elegant, fair, and tall. He was a military commander, but he was not rude. My father said that his literary talents were as good as his martial arts.
My consort is very kind to me. He always says that I am beautiful and dignified. We got married and my father gave me a princess mansion.
On the wedding day, my father cried. He cried secretly in my mother's arms. I saw it.
My father loved me very much. Even after I got married, he would always take me back to live in the palace. My mother said this was not good and the prince-in-law would be unhappy, but my husband said no. He wanted me to be happy.
My husband was often sent out to fight by my father, so my mother quarreled with him. My father said that there was no one available in Daye, but my mother still disagreed. I tried to persuade her, but she didn't say anything.
Later, my prince-in-law died on the battlefield, and I cried until I fainted.
When I woke up, my father knelt and sat beside my bed, and I cried again. My father said I was sorry, he was an emperor, how could he kneel to me? I cried, and my father also cried, and he refused to get up no matter what. In the end, my mother was able to persuade him.
I knew I was pregnant within a few days. I was very happy. My husband-in-law had always wanted a child. He was the only son in their family. Now I could finally give him a son.
The next spring, I gave birth to a boy, and my father rewarded him with a title.
A swaddling baby was given a title, which was unprecedented in Daye. The queen mother said that this was my father's guilt for me.
In fact, I don't blame my father. I understand my lover. That is his ideal and his ambition.
Later, the child was left in the palace to be educated by his father, who found me a consort.
He is a scholar, polite and well-behaved, and he is also very kind to me.
But I don't like him, and I can't let go of my past lover.
Just like this, a few more years later, I still divorced. It was me who initiated the divorce. We had no children and we separated easily.
My father and mother are getting older. Although the government affairs have always been handled mediocrely, I remember that since he was three years old, my father asked him to learn how to handle the government affairs.
At that time, my father always accompanied my mother and queen. Sometimes they would take me with them to go to the south of the Yangtze River. Sometimes it was just the two of them, never bringing my younger siblings.
My imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother took them with them more often.
My father and my mother have a very good relationship. I heard that my grandfather and ancestors all had three palaces and six courtyards, but my father did not. He only had my mother and queen.
I'm very surprised. I've read a lot of ancient books. Don't the old ministers give me advice?
Of course, I don't hope that my father has another woman, it's just a little strange.
Later, when I also got married, I understood. When you have someone in your heart and it is filled with this person, there is no room for anyone else, no matter who that person is.
My father once told me a story, a very special story. I thought he read it from some ancient book. Then I started looking for it, but I never found that ancient book.
He said that the reason why he and my mother can be so connected and harmonious is because they once exchanged souls.
It's the kind where my soul lives in your body, and your soul lives in my body.
Who dares to believe this kind of thing, but his father said it very seriously. He also said that from that time on, his mother had done many things for him, which made him see his grandfather's good intentions for him and let him see The feelings between brothers and the future and crisis of Daye.
He didn't really want to deal with this before, he just wanted to be a general, but his mother made him understand that he had his own responsibilities and burdens, which were inevitable and could not be avoided.
I asked him, how can we exchange these two people back?
Father said that they exchanged hearts and passed their lives.
I don’t understand. My father just smiled and shed tears when he smiled. He said, don’t be a self-righteous person. If you are good to someone, you must tell her and ask her what she wants.
If she wants an apple and you give her a whole basket of pears, you are impressing yourself and you are wrong.
I agree, and I think of my consort again.
We talk about everything. He understands me and always asks me what I like, what I want, whether this is good, and whether that is good.
The father said that he used to be a self-talking person and felt that he would sacrifice everything for his mother, but what the mother wanted was not at all...
I once asked my mother-in-law about this matter.
She was stunned for a moment and said: "Your father is so old and confused, why do you tell you everything?"
The queen mother said those things were true.
After leaving my father, she became pregnant with me. She didn't want me at all. It was a few friends who persuaded her to keep me. Which friends? I want to thank them.
The queen mother said that when she knew that her father died in the battlefield, her heart was broken. She just wanted to die and die with him. But she had me at that time, and it was my existence that kept the queen alive.
Therefore, she did not agree with my father sending my consort to the battlefield.
The queen mother said that she could understand my feelings and said that I had suffered a lot in my life following them.
"Among these children, our little Liuzi has suffered the most."
This is the most common thing my mother says, so they always love me doubly, and my brothers and sisters don’t dare to mess with me.
In the palace and in Daye, I was just like a little princess walking sideways.
Ping Ping grew up and had a good relationship with his fourth and fifth brothers, which made his father, the emperor and his mother very happy.
My younger brothers and sisters are all married and have children. They are all very good to me. Although I have always been alone, I have a family and I feel very happy.
The father and mother are getting older, but they are even more loving.
Until one day, while sitting under the sun, his father suddenly said that he wanted to practice swordsmanship. He was already eighty years old, and his mother would not let him practice, and he was not happy.
Later, the queen mother went to give him fruits, and the father was sitting on the steps in the martial arts field, watching his Shuofang Army soldiers who were training and died.
He is a general who fights on the battlefield all his life, and the last thing he looks at is his soldiers.
The queen mother did not cry, but silently knelt beside him, stroking his armor and sword. The queen mother said that it was on days like this that they exchanged souls.
"Li Luansong, you are a self-righteous and self-talking old man. You said you would never make your own decisions in this life. Why did you break your promise again? You lied to me. You left without consulting me."
The queen mother cried, crying silently but unable to stop.
"Li Luansong, Li Luansong..."
The queen mother kept calling her father's name until midnight before she fell asleep.
The next day, my queen mother also left, just one day after my father.
They seemed to have made an appointment, just like Father always said: "Yuyu, come, let's go together..."
I believe that the father was afraid of being scolded by the queen, so he came back to pick her up.
They will definitely continue to be happily together in heaven.
There was a national funeral in Daye, and I stayed in front of their memorial tablets for three days. My brothers and sisters came to persuade me, but I didn't want to leave. I wanted to stay with my father, queen, and queen.
I miss my consort too.
That night, I actually met my prince-in-law, and he said to me: "Liu Zi, are you okay? I miss you so much. Can I come to pick you up?"
I was so happy and I just wanted to stay there and wait for him. I can't leave. If I leave, he won't be able to find me.
Sure enough, he came. On the day when my father, the emperor, and his wife were mourning, my consort came to pick me up, and I went with him.
Although I saw my brothers and sisters in pain, I knew they would understand me.
In this life, I have a happy family, parents who love me, brothers and sisters, and a lover who treats me like a treasure. I also have a prosperous and stable Daye and kind and hard-working people. I am very content. .
I left, happy.
In this life, living till today and seeing everything is fine is enough.
