Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 152

Concentrating on his thoughts, Yu Shaoyun asked back: "For the emperor, what does the so-called bedside wife mean?"

Zhong Liye smiled and withdrew his hand, "I can't give you a satisfactory answer."

No matter what, frank words are better than evasive words, so Yu Shaoyun smiled back, "The concubine just asked casually." Then he asked the previous question, "The matter of choosing a newcomer to enter the palace——"

"It's up to you." Zhong Liye gave her a deep look, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Yu Shaoyun said lightly: "The concubine treats the emperor in awe, and abides by her duty." She did not hide the indifference in her voice, "The concubine almost forgot who she is, but fortunately the emperor was vigilant, so that it would not lead to an accident. Great disaster. My concubine, thank the emperor."

Zhong Liye smiled lightly, "This is not pleasant, but I still want to see your true nature." After a pause, he patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, no matter how embarrassing I am, situation, and would not beg for mercy from a woman."

Yu Shaoyun was noncommittal, just curious about one thing: "Has the emperor ever regretted letting his concubines into the palace?"

Zhong Liye pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "I don't regret it."

Yu Shaoyun's eyes narrowed slightly.Whether it is out of innate pride or stubbornness, he will give such an answer.What surprised her was that the sadness in his eyes was even heavier at the moment, it was a real emotion that could not be faked.

Zhong Liye moved forward with his hands behind his back, "I have no regrets for what I have done." Realizing that she was still staying where she was, he stopped and looked back at each other with desolate eyes, "No matter what, the relationship between husband and wife has been taken care of by you." I cut it off with my own hands, and it is inevitable to be sad when I think about it.”

Yu Shaoyun looked innocent, "Really? When did this happen?" After speaking, he hesitated for a moment and followed.

Zhong Liye first laughed at it, and then sighed: "You are not me, so you don't know what the word emperor means, how many betrayals I have experienced over the years, and how I can't trust anyone at all."

Yu Shaoyun had heard about some things before and after his ascension to the throne, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was bloody. She was just surprised by the last sentence, and looked at him with both disappointment and surprise.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Zhong Liye was a little surprised, "When I was young, my father bestowed on my elder brother and second elder brother to death. Although the two elder brothers and I have no brotherhood, and they are not siblings of the same mother, but this kind of thing comes to mind carefully." , After all, it makes people feel cold. Father and son can betray and kill without any room, how much affection can be tolerated in this royal family?"

Hearing these words, Yu Shaoyun's hand moved slightly, forcing down the urge to protect his abdomen.

Zhong Liye didn't notice her reaction, so he went on talking: "If you were me, who else could you trust? Every meritorious minister's achievement is a game between me and my life, and I just won by luck." Having said that, he Showing a self-deprecating smile, "Too long ago, there was no one who made me believe in it. If you say that the person who has never doubted, you are the only one, and it is only a period of time. I think, the affection that a woman gives There is no way to take it back, let alone have a child. But you are not like this. Your affection, you can afford it, and you can take it back."

That self-mockery was aimed at himself, he was laughing at the wrong person he saw.Yu Shaoyun smiled sympathetically and said, "Why did the emperor say this to his concubines?"

"Before you entered the palace, I told Xiao Xun that you are from the Yu family, and you have a ruthless heart——I forgot about it later." Zhong Liye shook his head lightly, and his voice became more and more low-key, "How ironic , you always remember who you are, but I forgot. You are just Yu Shaoyun, but I once regarded you as a wife who has been hand in hand for a lifetime. Naturally, these things have nothing to do with you now. I did not expect your elder brother and Xiao Xun to be so vigilant ,decisive."

"..." Everything he said was true, but she didn't need to answer.She never bothered to insult anyone, especially him.

Zhong Liye looked up at the sky, and when he looked at her again, his gaze was emotionless.

"A couple is a thing of the past." He smiled half-smile, "Other than that, everything is as usual. Go back."

Rather than saying that he was talking to her, it would be better to say that he was saying goodbye to Qian Yuan.

When Yu Shaoyun returned to the palace, he wondered why he still didn't feel anything.Maybe, she is as cold-blooded as him, even colder than him.If you look at it this way, it's really a good match with him.

Naturally, Yu Shaoyun also understood that from then on, he would never show her favor again.

He didn't care about her feelings and intended to hurt her family, which seemed reasonable to him.

She agrees that Xiao Xun and his eldest brother emptied the imperial power from his hands, which in his view is a sinful betrayal.

She can understand him, but he won't try to understand her.

Sister Han's full moon wine was held bustlingly, and the second wife had no reason to be unhappy, but on the other hand, she felt a little uneasy.

Yu Shaoheng and Xiao Xun now say that they have power over the world at best, but at worst they are sycophants in power.Every time she thinks about it carefully, she will be frightened and worried.

After talking with Yu Shaoqian a few times, the person who has always been gentle and considerate to her lost her temper, and said coldly: "What do you think? Stretch your neck out and wait for the executioner to execute? If you dislike your husband's family, you might as well disassociate yourself from it." Go back to your mother's house!"

What she said made her eyes turn red immediately, she was wronged and angry, but she couldn't say a word of rebuttal.Later, he also looked away because of this - there was no choice, the fate of the people in the Hou's mansion was in Yu Shaoheng's hands, and instead of worrying about when he would die, it was better to enjoy the present happiness.

After that, she and the third wife assisted Ye Xizhao in taking care of the inner house, and Brother Hao spent more and more time in the wife's room.Slowly, I found that Mrs. Tai had nothing to do with her beloved daughter Yu Shaoyun at the beginning, and she was good at seducing all kinds of children. In just half a month, Brother Hao's bad temper and bad habits have restrained.

Like the second wife, Ye Xizhao's life is getting more and more comfortable.

The second wife acted cautiously, and the third wife acted decisively. They often argued endlessly in private. Fortunately, they never missed anything, so Ye Xizhao refused to comment.Because of the reduced burden, she only needs to take care of some more important matters on weekdays, look at the accounts, and spend the rest of her time doing needlework, admiring flowers and painting, and spending time with Mrs. Tai and Sister Xin.

In her free time, the married Zhilan would come back from time to time to chat with Ye Xizhao, until the middle of March, she would return home to work on errands.

At the end of March, King Kang and Jing Zhiran got married, with red makeup and a pair of bis, which became a good story in the capital.

By this time, Ye Xizhao's fetal position has stabilized and he can go out and walk around.Mrs. Tai felt relieved and took Ye Xizhao to a wedding banquet.

In April, Concubine Shu's two younger sisters entered the palace and were granted concubines respectively.Ye Xizhao asked Shen Xing and Luoyue to check the details of those two people.This move is also a precautionary measure, knowing more about some things will help Yu Shaoyun in the future.Another purpose is to see how Shen Xing and Luo Yue's abilities are.

In mid-April, Yu Shaoyun gave birth to a princess.

After hearing this, the people in the Hou Mansion were all happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Yu Shaoyun took a long breath.Because of what Zhong Liye said in the past, she was of course looking forward to this child being a daughter.

Originally thought that Zhong Liye would ignore it after hearing about it, but unexpectedly, he came over upon hearing the news.

Yu Shaoyun, who fell into a coma after giving birth to the princess, woke up to see Zhong Liye hugging her daughter with a very gentle and joyful smile on his lips.

When his son fell to the ground, he never saw him so happy—his joy at that time came from the fact that she didn't miss out due to dystocia.

"Are you awake?" Zhong Liye's voice was very gentle, "The child looks like you, even this cinnabar mole is just like you."

Yu Shaoyun cheered up, sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, and said with a smile, "Aren't you disappointed, Your Majesty?"

Zhong Liye handed the child over to the wet nurse, waved his hands and told the maid to step back and said, "I also thought I would be disappointed. After seeing my daughter, I will only be happy."

Yu Shaoyun raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhong Liye said again: "Tomorrow I will decree to make the prince the crown prince."

Yu Shaoyun did not expect that he would make such a decision at this time, and he was full of doubts: "The emperor is not joking?"

Zhong Liye asked calmly, "Is this something you can joke about?"

Yu Shaoyun still couldn't believe it.Normally speaking, what he thinks every day should be to get rid of the Yu family and abolish her.

Zhong Liye held her hand, "I know what you are thinking, but you have to understand that court affairs have nothing to do with you."

Yu Shaoyun struggled slightly with his hands, and smiled coldly, "Is the emperor telling the concubine that even if the Yu family is destroyed one day, it has nothing to do with the concubine."

After acquiescing, Zhong Liye said again: "Naturally, if someone usurps the power, I will die in depression. Who will inherit the throne is a matter for you and Yongping Hou to discuss."

"..." Yu Shaoyun pursed his lips and smiled, but refused to answer correctly.

She just doesn't understand, how complicated and contradictory is this man?He likes his daughter from the bottom of his heart; he hates her from the bottom of his heart.If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have said such things just after giving birth.

Want to provoke her brother-sister relationship with her elder brother?Do you want her to fall into extreme pain and struggle from now on?

It's a pity that his plan will never come true.

Seeing that he also stopped talking for a long time, intending to wait for her response, she smiled cruelly, "If the concubine is the emperor, she will pray for a long life every day, if she dies young, the queen mother and King Kang will naturally judge the situation , where will it be the turn of the concubine to make any plans." It's just hurting each other, it's just sowing discord, for a pair of heartless people, this is so easy.
