Chapter 335 (1/2)
”I'm really sober. I just watched my sober self step by step towards the unconscious boundary,” Chu Chengxun's eyes were covered with a layer of mist. ”I know what the consequences will be. But I can't hide my feelings. I can only act like I don't care about her and act like a good uncle in front of her and Duanwang.”
Xiyu said in a deep voice, ”Lord, you must hold on. You have gone through a lot of hardships to return to the state of Qin. You are not looking for your sweetheart, but to win your own glory and wealth. If you take the wrong move, our previous achievements will be wasted.”
”I can understand what you said,” Chu Chengxun waved weakly. ”When they get married, I'll move out of the palace and move to the palace. Don't stay here to disturb them. It's also to untie my heart knot.”
”When the prince arrives, don't be reluctant,” Xiyu sighed faintly. ”The hero is sad about the beauty pass. Don't let the prince fall at this step and let the glory and wealth that are about to arrive disappear.”
Zhao Qingyao held the baby carved in powder and jade to the emperor. With a smile, he hugged the child and coaxed her for a few times. He couldn't help poking her pink cheek with his fingers. ”You see, how much this child looks like you. It doesn't look like me.”
Zhao Qingyao smiled and hurriedly said, ”the emperor is wrong. The little princess is more like you. Where is it more like a concubine?”
Butterfly shadow also hurriedly replied, ”your mother is right. The princess is naturally more like the emperor. The maidservant looks more like the emperor, especially the eyebrows and nose.”
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked again. He felt dizzy and hurriedly held the child to the nursing mother. ”I always feel that there is something wrong with my spirit these days. My body is empty, but my head is heavy. I don't know what's wrong. I can't even hold a child.”
Zhao Qingyao also felt that his Yintang was black, as if he had some deficiency. He looked at him with concern. ”Can the emperor ask the imperial doctor if he had taken the medicine? It seems that he can't do without medicine. The emperor should go less to the residence of young concubines. They won't love others when they are young. If something big happens, it's bad.”
”You're jealous,” the emperor smiled and scraped her nose. ”I haven't come to you these days. Do you look angry?”
”My concubine is not such a blind person. The emperor is so ill. How can I be jealous? We should focus on the emperor's body. The emperor's dragon body is healthy, and our harem can enjoy peace and happiness,” Zhao Qingyao said with a smile. ”Can the emperor feel uncomfortable? Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come here at this time?”
”No, it's not easy for me to spare time from the government affairs and come to your Yongle Palace. How can I invite the imperial doctor to defeat our interest,” the emperor smiled at her soothingly. ”You and the big Princess and the little princess are my best antidote. I'm most happy to see your mother and daughter together. What antidote can I use?”
”The emperor can really talk,” Zhao Qingyao's eyes darkened. ”Can the emperor remember what day it is today?”
The emperor frowned and thought for a while, ”why don't I have any impression on what day? Is it your birthday or the birthday of the eldest princess? You see, my memory is getting worse and worse. I have to rely on you to remember things.”
”Emperor, tonight is the death day of my sister and the prince,” said Zhao Qingyao. ”Has the emperor forgotten that on this night five years ago, my sister Fu Bo left the emperor and his concubines with the prince. That night, his concubines shed tears and almost fainted several times. It was the Emperor who took his concubines to Yongle Palace.”
The emperor's eyes were wet. After a long silence, he said, ”I remember. Today is the day when Princess Zhao left. Why didn't the people of the interior government come to inform me? I can't remember. Someone has to tell me.”
”People in the house of internal affairs only remember the days of such noble concubines as concubine Kang and Mrs. Yi. How can they remember the death of a little sister, concubine Zhao? Not to mention, there are no descendants left, but they disappear into the air with the wind,” Zhao Qingyao said, with tears slipping from the corners of her eyes, ”Emperor, do you think the concubines will also become a wind in the Imperial Palace and disappear in your memory? You can't think of the existence of the concubines in the future. You only remember that the concubines gave birth to two princesses for you.”
The emperor was stunned and hugged her tightly. ”What are you talking about? I just suddenly forgot the death day of concubine Zhao. Where did you get so many words? You are not an ordinary concubine now. You are concubine Zhao. You are only the queen in the harem. How could you disappear in my memory like a gust of wind.”
”However, my concubine only gave birth to two princesses for the emperor. Another died because of my poor care. My concubine has no ability to give birth to a prince for the emperor. My concubine is just a useless concubine who can't give birth to a prince in front of the queen.”
