The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1004 Birthday (60)
Seeing that the emperor started to be stubborn again, the empress dowager said earnestly: "Even if the empress is unbearable, the middle palace can still have a son. The prince is the foundation of a great career. It doesn't matter who the biological mother is. The important thing is that someone inherits the inheritance. Why don't you understand!"

"Grandmother, it's not that I don't understand, it's just that I don't want my children to regret for the rest of their lives because of their poor biological mother. Since I was young, I didn't have a mother to love me, and I always feel that it is a pity in life. My son, but that is always different from the love of my biological mother. Others don't understand this. Ask Xiao Jue if he feels the same way? He has at least been married to the princess for a few years, but as for me, I have been in love since I was born. Hugged to the queen, I don't even know what my own mother looks like. I have never felt the love from the queen, not even from my father. So I don't want my child to be like me again, for so many years They are all living in the shadow of others." The emperor's tone was a little blunt because of his anger, he didn't understand the truth, it was just that he couldn't bear it when he was furious.

The empress dowager knew the emperor's heartache, but it was irreparable after all, and she sighed: "How can there be no regrets in life? It is not easy to be a prince, and it is a pity not to have a biological mother, but growing up with a biological mother, you will think about it again." Who is so satisfied with status and status, who is born out of a concubine?"

Looking at Xiao Jue's expression, one could tell that he was in the same mood as the emperor at the moment. The Empress Dowager continued helplessly: "This is how life is, and there will be compensation for regrets. You will eventually get the throne, and Xiao Jue will soon Wouldn't it be nice to be reunited with her family? Even though this girl has suffered a lot of grievances, she has been treated with sincerity by the emperor, right? There are only satisfied people in this world, there is no perfect life , living for decades, you will always gain and lose, how to balance it all depends on your own heart."

The emperor sneered and said, "But I don't take it very seriously."

"Really?" The old ancestor's tone suddenly became cold and harsh, and he said with a condescending manner: "Even if you don't care about this throne, it is the dream of many people. Since you have taken this burden, there is no turning back You can go, whether you like it or not, you have to shoulder your due responsibilities! You don't care much about what you get, so why did you insist on conferring a royal concubine against the opposition of so many people in the former court and harem? Compared with other princes , Your Majesty, you have the throne and a loved one, isn't that enough?"

Xiao Jun's eyes jumped, and she said anxiously: "Old Ancestor, why don't you think about it, is it not all because of selfishness that I seal Chen'er?"

The old ancestor looked at the emperor coldly, and said sharply: "Do you still want the old ancestor to praise you and be grateful to you? The emperor should make any sacrifice for the sake of the world, and you shouldn't have selfishness! If it weren't for your six palaces alone Pet, there won't be so many disasters happening today, after all, it's all the emperor's fault!"

Xiao Jun couldn't refute the empress dowager's words, but the annoyance in her heart was not there, so she sat down angrily and kept silent. Seeing his forbearance, the empress dowager persuaded him earnestly: " Since you were so reluctant, why did you come back in the first place? It’s not that the imperial grandmother did not ask for your opinion before, and you took over the throne willingly. Now you feel miserable, and it’s too late to go back on your word. The imperial grandmother knows It is not easy to be a Mingjun, you are tired, you have worked hard, and you are angry when you disagree with those treacherous people's political views, but you look back at those sages and sages, how many have no regrets? But they still have a long history! For the sake of the emperor, For the sake of the people of the world, whether it is out of righteousness or helplessness, how can there not be a few people who have failed? If you are like you and can't let go, how can the emperor's grandmother close her eyes and see the ancestors of the Xiao family?"

The empress dowager's words made Qingchen suddenly think of the "one emperor through the ages" Emperor Kangxi. He ascended the throne at the age of eight and had countless great achievements in his life. Except for Obai, Taiwan, and Ping Erdan, he was proud of being a man. His achievements are immortal, he is looked up to by the world, but when you think about those who have been let down by him, isn't it a bloody wound on the heart?

Concubine Rong and her daughter are the only ones who can give Kangxi warmth in the cold harem.But between Jiangshan and her, he still chose Jiangshan, just because Concubine Rong conveyed the decree of Xiaozhuang to protect Prince Yinreng, and Concubine Hui fanned the flames, proving that Concubine Rong falsely passed on the decree of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. I believe Concubine Rong's words, but when faced with the question of the future heir of the country, I still think twice, thinking that the crown prince is not suitable to take over, and I can't say that Xiaozhuang is wrong, so I can only say that Concubine Rong pretended to pass on the decree and let his beloved woman become his Aixinjueluo A victim of family politics. (Concubine Rong is a person in the TV series, and there is no such person in history.)
Qingchen clearly remembered what Kangxi said while standing in front of Concubine Rong's coffin after she died.He said: "Concubine Rong, I want to talk to you, did you hear me? Oh, I know you have never deceived the emperor. I believe that the ancestors did leave you with a will, and I want you to try your best to preserve Yinfeng , lest the prince be abolished, elder brothers fight for heirs, and kill each other. I know all about this! However, I can’t forcefully put a worthless prince on the throne. Disabled! I can only let you bear the crime, saying that you have deceived the king and put you in the cold palace. I can't tell you about all these painstaking efforts! It is too difficult to be the king of a country!"

Even Kangxi, who held the imperial power in one hand, lamented the difficulty of being an emperor. What's more, Xiao Jun is now in a precarious situation. How can he not feel the hardship?

It's not easy to be an emperor, but it's even more difficult to be a lord!

His eyes were slightly moist, Qingchen wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart for a moment.Seeing her actions, the Empress Dowager asked suddenly: "Do you feel wronged?"

Qingchen's tone was calm, and he said calmly: "I dare not say I am wronged. The grievances of my concubine are nothing compared to the hardships of the emperor. There is too little I can do for the emperor. Apart from being considerate and tolerant, Trust, what else can you do with these insignificant things? The courtiers and concubines can't help the Emperor Taizu to rule the world like the ancestors did, let alone the emperor's solid backing at any time. Since they have no talent or virtue, Forbearance and forbearance are virtuous, and there is only so much a concubine can do."

The emperor felt great pain in his heart, feeling sorry for her kindness, and said anxiously: "Chen'er, compared to others, you have done a good job. Look at the emperor's grandmother, this is the difference between the empress and the imperial concubine. The empress's tolerance Kindness and kindness are always only superficial, you asked me to pamper a woman who speaks like a Buddha, and share the bed with her, I can't even sleep soundly, I will never go!"
