Yanmenchun

Chapter 176

The beauty of this world belongs to the emperor. After marrying King Rui, Princess Rui needs to bow three times and kowtow like an empress. She always feels that all the glory should be half of her, so she once again turned her mind on the emperor.

When she was in her natal family, she had an older sister and a younger sister, and she was always easily ignored by her parents. Therefore, she tried her best to flatter and invite pets since she was a child, and she knew early on that if she wanted more things, she had to learn to earn and rob.

The emperor had no more affection for her, so she frequently showed off in front of the emperor, pretending to care about the emperor several times, but since she was a child she was determined not to be a concubine, and she acted like she only cared about one person in this life.

After all, the emperor was just an ordinary man, and he couldn't stand her pestering for a few times, so he had an out-of-bounds relationship with her.

At the beginning, King Rui didn't know about it. He only knew that his princess had been childhood sweethearts with the emperor, but he liked Princess Rui. The emperor had already married the queen, and Princess Rui married him. These things became old things.

But Concubine Rui hooked up with the emperor for the sake of a higher level of prestige, and she wanted to be the 'queen' outside the vermilion palace walls.

She told the emperor that she was pregnant with the emperor's child, but how could the emperor believe her, King Rui and Princess Rui were not a couple on the surface, and the flowers and candles in their bridal chamber had fallen red and showed to the queen mother.

The emperor should really like Princess Rui, they have known each other since they were young, and Princess Rui treated him well, otherwise he would not risk the displeasure of the world to rekindle his old relationship with Princess Rui.

It would be fine if it was just a romantic relationship, but Princess Rui wanted too much and was too greedy, which gradually aroused King Rui's suspicion.

But what can King Rui do? The whole world belongs to the emperor, let alone a woman. If the emperor forces his wife, he can still get angry and tell the emperor not to bully others too much. Happy to rush.

The biggest mistake Princess Rui made in her life was probably this step. King Rui knew about her adulterous affair with the emperor. On the surface, King Rui couldn't do anything to her, but he never slept with her again. The thing that prevented her, she never got pregnant again after giving birth to Yu Wenxu.

She also entangled and cried with the emperor, but what the emperor said to her was that she couldn't bear to let the dragon son live outside. She is the princess of Prince Rui's mansion, even if she didn't give birth to a son, she will be prosperous when she gets old.

During these long ten years, Princess Rui could only desperately maintain her relationship with the emperor, gaining power for herself and fighting for Yu Wenxu's favor in this close and shady relationship.

Zhao Momo knew that she couldn't persuade Princess Rui, she was really sick, maybe it was just a heart disease at first, but later she was really suffering from a serious illness.

As her body suffered more and more, so did the resentment in her heart. She hated the emperor for not treating Yu Wenxu as her own daughter, hated the emperor and King Rui for not letting her have a child, and even more hated that Yu Wenxu was killed. Yu Wenxu's people.

She resented all this like crazy, but she never thought that she was the one who took this step out of reluctance, which caused King Rui to dislike her, and she didn't really get any real things from the emperor.

Princess Rui did not pose any threat to the queen, and the queen looked down on her, so she just turned a blind eye to her.

Things had progressed to this point, Duke Cheng and Princess Rui waited for the autumn hunt in September holding their breath.

The prince's mansion was also quiet, as if there was nothing abnormal, but Li Jingshu felt that there was a fierce beast hidden under the calm lake, and it might jump up and swallow people at any time.

There was harmony in the palace, and the emperor was in a good mood recently, as if he had finally walked out of the haze of the empress dowager's passing away, and he walked briskly at every step, and he seemed to be several years younger in vain.

The empress was at a loss, and all the maids and eunuchs in the Qinzheng Palace were banned, and no one could reveal a word, otherwise they would die.

The emperor would return to the Hall of Qinzheng after he came down from court. Recently, Yu Wenji found a master for him. This master learned the method of double cultivation.

The emperor didn't believe it at first, and this kind of bull-nosed Taoist priest was used to bluffing and deceiving, but after Yu Wenji repeatedly assured that this expert had real skills, he reluctantly met him.

After a while, the Taoist priest stayed in the palace.

The emperor entered the Hall of Qinzheng dressed in court clothes and a jade crown, and walked straight to the apse.

In the apse at this time, there was smoke from the incense burner, and a man in Taoist robes and a crown of purple golden lotus was sitting on a futon with his eyes closed and meditating.

The emperor waved away the maid in the room, and walked gently to the man. His movements were very light, but the man on the futon still opened his eyes.

A pair of cat-like round eyes, slightly raised eyebrows, and a small and tall nose. As the man slowly stood up, it could be clearly seen that this was a woman.

This woman has a delicate appearance, almond eyes and peach cheeks, and she has kind eyebrows and kind eyes even when her expression is cold.

When she saw the emperor, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured."

The emperor was still in court clothes, with a court crown on his head, and said kindly to her: "I used to feel very tired when I went to court, but now I have your cultivation method, and now I feel refreshed."

The woman stepped forward to help him loosen his outer robe and said: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and it was just because he was busy with political affairs and was too tired. When His Majesty cultivates to a higher level, he will be truly radiant and youthful again."

Her voice is gentle, like Bodhi whispering.

The emperor was elated when he heard that, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, I'd like to make you a national teacher!"

The two were chatting and joking when the little eunuch came in with a little boy and said, "Your Majesty, the elixir of Yudi Daoist is ready."

As he spoke, he turned his body sideways, and the little boy behind him presented a gourd with both hands, and said in a soft voice: "Master, the golden elixir is ready."

Master Yudi stepped forward to take the gourd in her hand and said: "Okay, you go, remember not to put out the real fire."

The little boy backed away carefully, and Master Yudi waved at the little eunuch and said: "This is a newly released golden pill, you can try it and serve His Majesty to take it."

The emperor was satisfied, he only felt that the real jade flute was sensible, and there were many real people in the past, who replied that it was a elixir from the immortal family, and they could not be taken by others. bone.

The little eunuch who helped to test the elixir had a joyful expression on his face. It is said that the elixir of the immortal Yudi has miraculous effects, and His Majesty's complexion is so good because of taking the elixir.

The little eunuch poured out a serving, and the real Yudi didn't care about it, he just asked the emperor to talk about the scriptures and the mysteries of practice.

After a stick of incense, the little eunuch had nothing to do, so he presented the elixir to the emperor, and the emperor took it very solemnly, as if it was really an elixir of life.

Master Yudi looked at him with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to stay in Qinzheng Hall to practice tonight?"

The emperor was extremely happy.

The little eunuch who helped the emperor test the alchemy couldn't help but peeked at her. The real jade flute could only be seen for more than two decades, with gentle eyebrows and eyes. If she is said to bewitch His Majesty in order to gain favor, she does have some real skills, but She also made His Majesty linger in the Qinzheng Hall every night, and used the method of double cultivation with her.

The little eunuch couldn't figure it out, so he stepped back cautiously.
