Jin Su spring speech

Chapter 48 Red Rope 2
Jin Xing sat down in front of the queen's qin platform, and there was a burnt mark on the tail of the phoenix wooden qin. She raised her eyes: "Empress Empress, is this qin a burnt tail?"

The queen nodded slightly: "Yes."

Jin Xing plucked the strings twice and smiled: "Empress Empress, I'm not good at playing the piano, so just try to listen to it."

The queen was startled, and also smiled a little: "It's true, so-so."

Jin Xing silently rolled his eyes, straightened his body, and played the piano slowly. The queen told her story in the melodious sound of the piano.

Since I was a child, I entered the palace and was raised under the Empress Dowager Chu.

They say I was born to be a queen.

When I entered the palace, the emperor at that time soaked in decoctions, medicines and gold stones every day. He just fell ill, and the queen mother came to court again.

So when I was young, I played big on the piles of memorials. Speaking of which, once, I wet the bed on the memorials.

If he was older, the emperor would have died of illness, and my aunt and empress would follow.

I have already forgotten about these things, and they were told to me by the Empress Dowager later.

So another emperor was changed, but the emperor's first wife seemed unhappy.

I asked her, "Ma'am, are you unhappy?"

She smiled faintly: "When Qiao Chu becomes a queen one day, you will know."

Outstanding is my fine print.I said, "I don't want to be a queen."

The queen mother is not a person who loves power, and the emperor seemed to be able to support her, so she retired.

This year, when I was five years old, I entered the Piyonggong Academy to study with a group of princes and grandchildren.

It was logical to get to know Sima Yu.

Sima Yu is one year older than me. He has been good-looking and smart since he was a child. He can be regarded as the master's favorite student.

I wasn't very bright as a kid, and I don't know why I was asked to learn these things.

I can't always recite poems, so I am always punished by my master to write them.In addition to writing poems as punishment, I often have to copy Buddhist scriptures for the queen mother.I often copy and copy, and fall asleep. When I wake up, the densely written paper is neatly placed in front of me.

I looked around and saw that he was alone, so I asked him, "Did you write this book for me?"

He still lowered his head to read the book: "Just now, a fairy wrote it for you."

I did this several times, and I was also a little curious, which fairy was so kind to copy the words for me.I pretended to be asleep, and wanted to see the fairy's appearance, but unexpectedly, it was him. I didn't know why I didn't expose him, but every time he was serious about helping me copy, I secretly opened my eyes to look at him.

Speaking of which, he also has a homework that is not as good as mine.I don't know if it's because he read too much, but when he shoots arrows, he is always weak and can barely hit the target.But he is very hardworking. He often practices alone in the school field after class. Unlike me, he only plays when he is free.

When I was a child, I used to pretend to be ghosts to scare people.

At that time, there were not many beauties in the emperor's harem, but several male favorites.

I don't know if it's because of this reason, Empress Yu died of depression a year after he ascended the throne, but Empress Yu was very kind to me when she was alive.

I often pretend to be a ghost to scare these male favorites. They Fu Fen Shi Zhu are like women, with a low voice and timidity. When they are frightened by me, their faces turn pale and their steps go weak.But they are very good at suing, and when they sued the emperor, the emperor punished me to kneel.

It was a snowy day that year, although it was in the south of the Yangtze River, the cold penetrated into the bones. At that time, I was only ten years old, I couldn't resist it, so I fainted, and when I woke up, I was already in the Empress Dowager's palace.This knee is not very good.When I went to school again, other children laughed at me, only he got up and helped me sit down.

After another year, a very happy thing happened. The emperor was quickly deposed by Da Sima, saying that he could not bear children, and none of the three previous princes belonged to him.

I think it's not that he can't bear children, but that he has no interest in women.

Sima Yu's father was promoted to the throne, and he became the prince.

I think the happiest thing is that he also lived in the palace, so we can play together.

When I was talking to him, he tapped my head: "Are you just thinking about playing all day long?"

I leaned closer to him: "Then if I don't play, what else can I do?"

He was also speechless when I asked him.

This year, his elder sister got married and was going to marry Da Sima's son as his wife.She used to be a very playful person, but the last few times I met her, she seemed to be not in good shape, so she stopped playing with me.She was not happy when she got married. I heard from others that the princess had a favorite guard who was executed.

At this time, he was already 13 years old. During the palace banquet, I saw that other ladies were secretly looking at him, so I deliberately joked with him openly.

"Are you going to get married soon?"

"I won't marry anyone."

"How am I?"

"I will never marry you."

"Forget it, you don't want to get married, and I don't want to get married, so we can be together forever."

"It's a word."

The good times didn't last long, within half a year, his father became seriously ill.

I asked him again: "Will you be emperor?"

He said firmly: "No."

I was a little puzzled: "Why?"

He just smiled lightly and didn't answer.

Sure enough, a month later, his younger brother Sima Yao was made emperor.

I don't know why he was made emperor. In short, Sima Yao was only ten years old, and the queen mother came to court again.

The Empress Dowager took my hand to Changle Palace and asked me: "Qiaochu, would you like to be the master here?"

I shook my head: "I don't want to."

Sima Yao liked to follow me when he was young. He was not very good-looking, and he didn't look like Sima Yu at all. I don't like him very much.

This year, a big event happened.

A Taoist who wanted to restore the deposed emperor led a mob to break into the Jiankang Palace.

I was playing when an arrow with no eyes flew towards me.

I was too frightened to move, and closed my eyes, as if closing my eyes would prevent me from shooting. I suddenly felt some liquid splashed on my face. After a long while, there was no movement, so I opened my eyes.

He stood in front of me, and the long arrow pierced his chest.

I was even more scared: "Sima Yu, don't scare me."

He said, oh, he didn't say anything, just fell to the ground.

The matter subsided quickly, but he lay in bed for a whole month.

He has not left the palace to build the mansion at this time, so I can still visit him every day, see the soup and medicine being delivered in bowls, and he drinks bowls without frowning.

I said, "Isn't it bitter?"

He said: "I have been drinking since I was a child, and I am used to it."

After being hit by an arrow, he became even weaker, as if he would float away at any moment.

I wove a red string for him, took it to the Queen Mother's mage, recited scriptures, put it on his hand, and said that it would bless him.In fact, I lied to him. I also have a red string.

After another two years, Sima Yao also reached the age of the empress.

He left the palace to build a mansion, and I was also released from the palace.

My father told me that I was going to marry Sima Yao and become queen.

I don't know why I went to find Sima Yu.

I said, "Are you sure you don't want to marry me?"

He touched my head: "I can't marry you."

I snorted, "Then I'm going to marry your brother."

After a while, he hummed lightly.

I asked again one last time: "Why don't we run away. It's the same as what's written in the storybook."

He shook his head.

I am married to Sima Yao.

But I don't want to marry him, let alone sleep with him.

Then I remembered the story of Mei Xi tearing the silk. If I were a witch who would harm the country, would I be deposed by the emperor? It would be good to stay in the cold palace by myself.

I started throwing jade, isn't this jade more precious than silk.

After falling too much, I found that the sound of the broken jade is really nice.

But Sima Yao didn't know if he saw my thoughts, but he held back and sent the jade piles to my palace.And every night when I came to see me, I started drinking again and pretended to be drunk, and even vomited on his dragon robe, which made him walk away in anger.

At the palace banquet, I saw Sima Yu again. This time, he seemed to be in better health, his face was not so pale, and he looked even better.

Sima Yao once again mentioned the matter of accepting a concubine for him, and the cup in my hand unconsciously clenched.

He refused: "I once promised someone that if it wasn't for her, I would never marry for the rest of my life."

I left the table early and sat alone on the railing drinking.

After a while, he came.

"Is the empress unhappy?"

"My lord knows, what does this palace want?"

"what?"

"I want to marry someone and live forever."

I say this in a drunken way.

"Then I'm afraid it won't work. If the empress still has any wish, I can make it come true for the empress."

"Then, forget everything about the past."

"it is good."

He bowed cautiously and left.

Not long after, Sima Yao hunted in the hunting ground and brought me with him.

I don't really want to go, it's not worth it in case an assassin hurts my life.

Sure enough, what to be afraid of.

But instead of assassinating the emperor, this assassin came to assassinate me, the unarmed queen.

The eunuchs and maids around me are useless. At the critical moment, I closed my eyes and called out, "Sima Yu."

"coming."

I didn't expect him to actually appear in front of me. He didn't come alone. The guards quickly killed all the assassins, leaving only one alive. The arrow that came was shot dead.

Later, he was about to leave Jiankang and go to the fiefdom.

I actually still want to go with him.

However, no one did it.

Before leaving, Sima Yao gave him a farewell, and I was also there. I saw Sima Yao hand him two glasses of wine, and leaned close to him to say a word. I was far away and couldn't hear clearly. He drank the cup on his right and drank the one on the right.

He died on the way.When I received the news, I spit out a mouthful of blood. I used to laugh at him when he vomited blood. It turned out that it was so easy to spit out blood.

I was in a coma for a long, long time.

After waking up, I can't remember some things, but some people and some things can't be forgotten.
