Prince loves to pick up trash

Chapter 108 108. The Past

There is no one in this world who is not sad.

Qi Ling felt that Shen Zhuangqing would not be sad, just because he had never seen Shen Zhuangqing sad.

Shen Zhuangqing in Qi Ling's memory is always so stubborn.

During the most difficult days they spent together, they were imprisoned more than once in the prison of Hei Suo Suo.

But even in the prison, Shen Zhuangqing remained calm.

In such a dark place, the light in Shen Zhuangqing's eyes never went out.

On the other hand, Qi Ling was in a terrible embarrassment.

Whenever Qi Ling stays in such a dark and humid place, the evil in his heart will continue to grow; whenever Qi Ling stays in a place with poor conditions, he will think of his past misfortunes.

His fear, resentment, timidity, anger, all his negative emotions will be brewing in his heart.He shrank in the darkness, letting his heart ferment and break.

But at this time, Shen Zhuangqing, who is like light, not only cannot save him, but will become a needle that pierces the darkness.

As soon as the needle hit Qi Ling, Qi Ling's rotten and foul-smelling heart was fully exposed. Sometimes he trembled, sometimes cursed, sometimes cursed the former emperor, and glared at Shen Zhuangqing.

His every move made Shen Zhuangqing uncomfortable like a stench, but even so, Shen Zhuangqing could comfort him with a smile on his face.

Shen Zhuangqing told him to calm down, analyzed the pros and cons for him, told him when he predicted he would be able to go out, and what he should do after going out.

Shen Zhuangqing did everything that was good for him, but Qi Ling refused to accept it all.

He knew that he was far inferior to Shen Zhuangqing in dealing with things when he was not calm, so he would follow Shen Zhuangqing's advice. However, he had no gratitude or love in his heart. Instead, he hoped that Shen Zhuangqing would show a broken expression once he was in trouble.

He waited and waited, and waited year after year. After more than 20 years, he gave up hope.

However, she couldn't prevent her from seeing Shen Zhuangqing's tears.

I also saw Shen Zhuangqing's slightly curved back as if he was overwhelmed.

He remembered that in the past, he and Shen Zhuangqing often knelt in front of the late emperor, and Shen Zhuangqing's back was still straight after kowtowing.

Later when he ascended the throne, Shen Zhuangqing wanted to kneel on him, but the straight back was so glaring that he refused to let Shen Zhuangqing kneel.

It's funny to say, because of this, when he came to the throne, everyone thought he was good to Shen Zhuangqing.

After a long time, when he became the emperor, he didn't want to pretend anymore, so his dislike for Shen Zhuangqing gradually became known to everyone.

It just so happened that Qi Wenliang was born, and his unhappiness slowly manifested after Qi Wenliang was born, so since Qi Wenliang was a child, the rumors that Qi Wenliang was not the emperor's son had never stopped.

In the beginning, Qi Ling would help Shen Zhuangqing suppress the rumors because he cared about the face of the royal family.When Qi Wenliang reached the crown, Qi Ling's body also deteriorated early due to a lot of poisoning in the past, and Qi Ling became the No. 1 of spreading rumors.

As for whether Qi Wenliang was actually his own, Qi Ling knew very well.

Although he and Shen Zhuangqing hadn't had much time together, he was actually sure that Qi Wenliang must be his child.

Speaking of it, Qi Ling has always had a secret hatred for Shen Zhuangqing, so even if Shen Zhuangqing is good-looking, he is not interested.

Shen Zhuangqing also looked down on him a bit, so he never forced it, and even decided to give him a beautiful concubine, and even welcomed two side concubines who could help Qi Ling's career.

Shen Zhuangqing has already achieved this, Qi Ling will naturally not embarrass Shen Zhuangqing in this regard, he has never offered to take a fancy to anyone, and has never been contaminated by any flowers or plants.

The people in his palace, except for Qi Ying's biological mother who was given to him at the earliest palace, the others were all brought back by Shen Zhuangqing.

This situation falls into the eyes of outsiders, even if Qi Ling defends his wife, Shen Zhuangqing is also generous and not jealous.

This is also a symbol of the harmony between their husband and wife and the solidity of the palace.

In order to maintain the illusion, Qi Ling often sleeps in the green house in Shen Zhuang, but who will sleep on the low couch and who will sleep on the bed is usually decided by playing chess.

They had been married for two years, and there was no close contact between them...until four months before he took the throne.

News spread that the first emperor was ill.

The first emperor had too many sons, and the forces behind the concubines in the harem were quite complicated, so even if the first emperor liked Qi Ling from the beginning, the first emperor could not guarantee that he would definitely let Qi Ling take the throne.

The first emperor could only guarantee that he would die within a few months, so he notified Qi Ling that it was time to make final preparations.

Shen Zhuangqing also made the final preparations.

One night, after she intentionally lost a game of chess with Qi Ling, she said flatly: "I can't sleep on the low couch tonight."

Qi Ling didn't understand at first, and thought to himself to sleep on the low couch.

He was still thinking about bringing a thicker quilt as the weather was getting colder, so Shen Zhuangqing stretched out his hand to hold him, "I have to make some other preparations for the throne."

Shen Zhuangqing said: "It's not easy to be a queen without love and children."

That day, Shen Zhuangqing still showed no special appearance.

She was still so calm, neither happy nor visibly unhappy.It made Qi Ling suspect that his skills were not good enough, and even his physical condition was not good enough, and his psychological shadow was a little bit more.

Then there is no more then.

They were lucky to have Qi Wenliang at once.

Qi Ling didn't doubt Qi Wenliang's origin at all, after all, Shen Zhuangqing was such a proud person, he couldn't do anything that would disgrace the royal family.

But Qi Ling always thought that Shen Zhuangqing was the same as himself and didn't like Qi Wenliang very much.

Unexpectedly, now that Qi Wenliang was ill, Shen Zhuangqing would be so sad.

Qi Ling originally came to see Qi Wenliang's jokes today, and by the way, he could also tease Shen Zhuangqing and ask her how the Shen family felt about losing the heir to the throne.

Seeing this scene, Qi Ling was speechless for a while.

Originally, he finally saw Shen Zhuangqing's fragility, and his wish for many years was finally fulfilled, so he should feel happy in his heart.But right now, he wasn't as happy as he thought.

He should have taken advantage of Shen Zhuangqing's fragility and said something to further defeat Shen Zhuangqing.

But he opened his mouth and was really speechless, so he decided to be a person and retreated silently.

Qi Wenliang has been in a coma for several months and has not woken up. Now that he came to demonstrate, he appeared to be extremely incompetent.

"That's all," Qi Ling thought, "I just hope he hasn't woken up the day I die."

After Qi Ling left, Fang Zhu also arrived at the small Buddhist hall.

She knew that the empress would be secretly sad here every day on the excuse of worshiping the Buddha, so she didn't step into the house, but knocked on the door, "Your Majesty, it's almost noon."

It's noon, it's time to eat.

Shen Zhuangqing actually couldn't eat, but she would eat on time at noon every day, because Qi Zian would exchange information about Qi Wenliang with her during lunch.

Now that Qi Wenliang is asleep, Qi Zi'an wins over some forces for Qi Wenliang.

During this period of time, Qi Ying's power expanded, and if Qi Zi'an didn't stand up and grab it, everyone would agree that Qi Ying was the next heir.

What's more, Qi Zian also had to pay attention to the border affairs.

When Qi Zian got busy, he couldn't guard Qi Wenliang all day long, so he made a suggestion to the queen—when he really couldn't leave, the queen would guard Qi Wenliang, but at noon the queen had to take care of Qi Wenliang. Tell him about the changes of the day.

Even minor changes have to be said.

The queen knew that Qi Wenliang's drowsiness was caused by a demon, and she knew nothing about the demon race, so she agreed to Qi Zi'an's suggestion.

After all, Qi Zian has been dealing with the Yaozu during this time.

Apart from Qi Zi'an, there was no one else the queen could count on.

After the agreement was reached, she would guard when Qi Zi'an was not around, and she would come to worship the Buddha when Qi Zi'an was around.

It's almost noon now, she has to go to have lunch, and then ask Qi Zian, ask him if Qi Wenliang is getting better today.

She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, calmed down her emotions, and then put on a faint smile, "Let's go, let's go to Gong'er's bedroom first."

Fangzhu followed her to Qi Wenliang's bedroom, stopped at the door before entering the room.

Lutao opened the door for her, and closed the door after she went in.

Now there are green peaches and fragrant bamboos left outside the door.

Lutao originally came from the Queen's Palace, so she and Fangzhu can still talk to each other. The Queen lived here during this time, and the two of them got to know each other better.

After closing the door, Lutao asked: "I see that the corners of the empress' eyes are red, but are you sad again?"

Fangzhu nodded, "It's been many years since I've seen my mother sad."

"The empress was also sad last time, but after all, it was a done deal. The empress finally recovered. This time, she had more hope, and the empress actually suffered more."

"Last time?" Lutao was curious, "Did your empress ever feel sad for others?"

Fangzhu said it smoothly, and replied: "It was when Concubine Duan passed away. Your Majesty regards Concubine Duan as her own younger sister. Even if Concubine Duan betrayed Her Majesty, she still couldn't let her go."

"That year Concubine Duan was gone, the empress didn't show her face, but she was drunk at night, crying and cursing, she said that Concubine Duan was an idiot."

"Your Majesty is so well-bred, why has she ever scolded anyone? The meaning contained in this sentence "idiot" is more distressing than blame."

"Speaking of which, I don't know what Concubine Duan is trying to do. Why should she follow the emperor? If she wants to be rich, she doesn't really count as betraying her, otherwise she wouldn't..."

Having said that, Fangzhu realized that he almost missed a big deal, so he quickly shut up.

Lu Tao didn't notice this either, instead she asked: "Is there anything special about Concubine Duan? It's worthy of empress empress losing her composure for her."

Fangzhu saw that the topic had been changed, so she followed Lutao's words and explained: "I don't know what is so good about Concubine Duan, but she is very special when she appears. Especially after the empress gave her a name, she is very special. Obvious."

Fangzhu thought for a while and asked, "Your Highness gave you a name after you came to the East Palace, right?"

Lu Tao didn't know why she asked this, but she nodded anyway.

Fangzhu continued: "Look, the more powerful people in the Eastern Palace are all peaches, willows, and apricots. The empress named us the same style. It is plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum."

"Your Highness and Your Majesty should both be friends." Fangzhu said, "Look at our name, we didn't put much effort into it, because we can't afford that kind of care. I don't understand Your Highness, but Madam, I still know. some."

"Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, this shows that we are living creatures in the eyes of the empress, and we need to be treated as fate. But plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are always just living objects, and cannot play any important role."

"Of course, we are slaves. It is already a great grace for the master to give us a name. There is nothing to be dissatisfied with. But Concubine Duan's name was given with care."

Concubine Duan's name is Shen Chengbi.

At first glance, it is different from these plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum paintings.

Shen Chengbi's "Shen" is Shen Qingqing's Shen, and Shen Chengbi's "bi" is Shen Zhuangqing's "Qing".

The so-called Qing is also Bi, and Bi is also Qing, and the queen really treats her as one of her own.

"Concubine Duan was originally called Xiaobai." Fang Zhu continued, "You heard me right. Concubine Duan was called Xiaobai when she was picked up by the empress. And it was because she was wearing a tattered white dress. Everyone That's why she was called. In fact, she didn't have a name."

"Everyone thought that when she was picked up by the empress, she would be a court lady like us. But when the empress gave her a name, she didn't give Huahua Caocao a name. Instead, she was named Shen Chengbi. From that moment on, everyone knew that she was unique. different."

"Hey," Fangzhu sighed, "I can't explain how it is different."

"...Maybe it's because of her good looks."

Lutao held the ground and smiled, but couldn't laugh in her heart.

She never expected herself to be special in Qi Wenliang's heart, but she felt a little uncomfortable knowing that she was just a "living object".

After all, Qi Wenliang was so pampering and kind to her.

Although she never had the idea of ​​overstepping, but...

Refusing to accept the fact, Lutao shook her head, secretly thinking: Your Highness and Empress must be different.I was originally called Xiao Tao, and only a name like "Peach" is the most suitable for me. Your Highness named me Lu Tao, which is very suitable and there is nothing wrong with it.

After comforting herself, she looked at the door again.

Hey, Your Highness fell asleep, and I don't know when he will wake up.

In the past, His Highness was the most self-disciplined person who didn't like to stay in bed. Why did he stay in bed this time and stay awake for several months?

Her sigh was held in her heart, and when the wind blew, all the unexposed sighs were dispersed.

She woke up Qi Wenliang outside the bedroom door countless times, but this time, she was destined not to wake up.

In the hall, Qi Wenliang was soundly asleep, Qi Zian was holding his hand, muttering something, not afraid that the queen would think too much when she saw it.

Qi Zian led Qi Wenliang by the hand and talked a lot about the court and the border.

In the past, Qi Wenliang was most concerned about these things, but now, he is indifferent after hearing it.

"By the way, Shang Yunqing is going to Beijing." Qi Zian said.

The author has something to say: Even if it was only for one night, I still feel that the empress was ruined by Qi Ling.Why!uncomfortable!

But for some reason, Qi Wenliang must have a good blood lineage, so he can only feel wronged by the empress.
