Chapter 151 The Prince’s White Moonlight Returns
Chapter 151 The Prince’s White Moonlight Returns
At the beginning, the emperor issued an order to arrange a marriage between the crown prince and the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Liu Yanyan.
Who didn't know that the prince, in order to win the smile of a princess, had rented out the entire Qingfeng Pavilion? And for her, he had climbed Tianshan alone, just to find the snow lotus that could cure all poisons.
In the entire capital, who is not moved by the deep affection between Liu Yanyan and the prince?
Unfortunately, Liu Yanyan still died.
The royal family cared about having more offspring, so the emperor quickly issued an edict to make Wang Ruoxi the Crown Princess.
Wang Ruoxi knew that the prince was deeply in love with Liu Yanhua, but she didn't care. What she wanted was power anyway.
Five years passed in a flash, and the Crown Prince ascended the throne as Emperor, while Wang Ruoxi became Empress.
On this day, Wang Ruoxi was patrolling the streets to check on the people's sentiments when suddenly a woman dressed as a peasant woman rushed over.
"Wang Ruoxi, Wang Ruoxi, how can you be the queen? I am the queen!"
Wang Ruoxi took a closer look and realized that this was the deceased Crown Princess Liu Yanyan.
Everyone on the street was staring at her, so even if she wanted to kill Liu Yanyan, it would be impossible. So she took her back to the palace.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to find over 30 look-alikes to alleviate the Crown Prince's longing for Liu Yanyan. Some of these stand-ins had similar looks, others had similar personalities. I wonder if the Emperor would still be moved if he saw the original?
Sure enough, when the emperor saw Liu Yanyan, he had no expression on his face until Liu Yanyan anxiously called out the emperor's nickname, then he looked surprised.
But Bai Yueguang is Bai Yueguang, and the emperor named her a noble lady.
Although her position was not high, the other substitutes were not afraid of her and vied for favor. Liu Yanyan had not seen the emperor for almost three months and could not help but feel anxious. She no longer acted politely and began to dance and sing seductively in the moonlight.
The former goddess lowered her status and began to please him, which pleased the emperor very much. He continued to favor her for a while.
During this period, Concubine Zhuang became pregnant. Liu Yanyan was jealous and designed to make Concubine Zhuang's fetus large and difficult to deliver, resulting in two deaths.
Concubine Chun was pregnant, but was tricked into having a miscarriage.
Liu Yanyan finally got pregnant, but was tricked into giving birth to a stillborn baby. She also became mentally ill.
The emperor was furious and took his anger out on Queen Wang Ruoxi.
At this time, Wang Ruoxi's family had no one to rely on, so the emperor no longer had any scruples and banished her to the cold palace.
"I want to be the empress!" said Wang Ruoxi.
"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.
……
At this time, Liu Yanyan had returned to the palace.
"Queen, you don't have to bother looking for someone who looks like Yan'er in the future." Fu Chen said, thinking that there are more than 30 concubines in the harem, and she must have become aesthetically fatigued by seeing the same face every day.
"Yes," Sheng Jiang replied, "but this one is different. She said she is the deceased Crown Princess."
Sheng Jiang put fattening and uglier charms on both the emperor and Liu Yanyan. Only the two of them could see each other.
At this moment, the emperor saw Liu Yanyan as a bearded uncle with rouge and lipstick on his face, who was pretentious and even picked his nose? ! ! !
The emperor was about to vomit on the spot.
Is this a moral decline or a moral decline? Is this a shemale?
I'm a man! I'm a straight man! How could I possibly like a man?
Seeing the emperor's reaction, Liu Yanyan became unhappy on the spot and said in a pinched voice, "Brother Chen, do you really not remember me?"
The emperor really vomited at this moment.
Liu Yanyan quickly ran up and wanted to pat his back. Fu Chen shouted in fear, "Don't come over here!"
"Someone! Someone, come quickly! Drag this monster out and beat him to death with clubs!"
"Brother Chen, how could you do this?" Liu Yanyan cried.
The emperor finished vomiting, calmed down, and took a closer look at Liu Yanyan. Sure enough, she looked like her former self, only fatter. I just don't know where the beard came from?
"Yan'er! Is it really you?" The emperor reached out to hug her.
At this moment, in Liu Yanyan's eyes, the emperor suddenly turned into a fat, ugly, beardless, pretentious woman who picked her nose and toes.
She reached out to refuse the emperor's hug and began to bend over to vomit.
Emperor: ...Does this scene seem familiar?
After Liu Yanyan finished vomiting, both of them calmed down and no longer had the excitement of hugging each other.
The emperor looked at Liu Yanyan again and thought of the three thousand beauties in the harem. How could he bring himself to eat her in the future?
Sure enough, the white moonlight will turn into mosquito blood.
This time, the emperor didn't even give her the title of noble lady, but let her live in Chengqian Palace and assigned several palace maids to serve her.
Liu Yanyan was very unhappy because she came here for the position of queen.
"I want to be the queen."
"No, the Queen's grandfather was a founding hero, and her father and brother also had great military achievements. I cannot depose the Queen."
"Then I want to be a concubine."
"No. The Concubine's father is currently dealing with floods, and I'm afraid he'll flood the capital."
Liu Yanyan became even angrier, "Then what can you do to me?"
"Yan'er, in my heart, you will always be my wife, my only wife."
The emperor was very good at coaxing people, "You know what? If I give you a title, then if I want to see you in the future, I have to go through the Jingshifang to flip the card. And I can't flip your card every time. It will be difficult to see you. If I can't see you every day, it will be more painful than killing me."
The emperor's inner thoughts: If it weren't for the constant gaze of the court, I would have eliminated you long ago. A dead moonlight is a true moonlight, but the living one is old and ugly, what the hell? Now I'm even bothering to appease you, what sin did I commit in my past life?
No matter what the emperor thought, Liu Yanyan was moved, "Brother Chen, you are so good to me!"
After saying this, she was about to throw herself into the emperor's arms again.
"Don't move! Just stand there," the emperor quickly refused.
Seeing that Liu Yanyan was about to cry again, the emperor wanted to poke his eyes out, but it took a lot of effort to hold back, "Come! Take Miss Liu away and wash up first."
Liu Yanyan's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, I ran all the way back to the capital, but I suffered a lot. Brother Chen, I will come to find you after I change my clothes."
Emperor: That’s not necessary!
I just don't know how much the Grand Tutor knew about Liu Yanyan's fake death. If he hadn't taught me that, I would have wiped out the entire Liu family!
The emperor became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He felt that all his years of deep affection and longing for Liu Yanyan had been wasted!
Thinking of Liu Yanyan's current appearance, he decided to go to the harem to see the beauties and refresh his eyes.
Looking at the groups of stunning beauties surrounding him, the emperor felt that this was what Bai Yueguang really looked like.
On the other side, Liu Yanyan heard that the emperor had gone to another concubine's palace, and she immediately became furious and sent someone to invite him.
It took a while for the emperor to arrive.
"Brother Chen, didn't you say that to see the concubines, you have to go through the Jingshifang?"
"Uh," the emperor said awkwardly, "I was just tired of reviewing memorials and wanted to go to the back garden to relax. Who knew I would run into a group of women, chattering and chattering? I couldn't refuse. After all, Concubine Yun's father is the magistrate of Songyang County. I am afraid that he will be harsh on the people in the future."
Liu Yanyan was still unhappy, "Isn't Brother Chen afraid that my father will be unhappy?"
"Of course I'm afraid. That's my teacher." The emperor coaxed, "My Yan'er is the best woman in the world. No one can surpass you."
Liu Yanyan burst into laughter.
The emperor coaxed Liu Yanyan, which made the women in the harem anxious and angry. Who doesn't want to be favored by the emperor?
One day, the emperor suddenly had an idea. He asked a group of sheep to pull a wooden cart specially built for him. He would sleep in the palace where the sheep stopped.
Sheep: ? ? Human? It's fine if you let the oxen and horses pull the cart, but you also want us to pull the cart?
Concubines and ministers: ...??? What's wrong with the emperor? Playing such a stupid game?
However, it was Concubine Hui who reacted first and sprinkled salt on the grass at the palace gate. As expected, the flock of sheep happily ran to the gate of her palace and stopped.
"It seems that this is God's will." The emperor slept with Concubine Hui as a matter of course.
Soon, the news of Concubine Hui's pregnancy spread. The emperor was overjoyed, as this was his first child, and rewarded her with many fine gifts.
After Concubine Hui became pregnant, she stayed indoors and never went out.
Liu Yanyan thought that she could not find any opportunity except the child in her belly, and she was so angry that she almost bit her nails off.
Concubine Hui: Don't disturb me while I'm pregnant! Anyway, I'm just asking the emperor to register my baby, not to fight for the throne!
Faced with the intentional or unintentional inquiries from many women, Concubine Hui simply told her good sister Concubine Wan the reason why the sheep cart was parked at the gate of her palace.
Wanpin was overjoyed and followed the same method. Sure enough, she soon gained the emperor's favor and became pregnant with a prince.
Wanpin was sprinkling salt on the grass at the palace gate and was seen by other palace maids, who secretly told their master.
Everyone followed suit. Suddenly, the palace ran out of salt. Even the price of salt in the capital city went up.
Soon, trouble arose. The sheep pulling the cart began to vomit frequently due to consuming too much salt. They suddenly developed diarrhea and fell to the ground, convulsing. The emperor rolled off the cart, suffering a bloody head injury.
The emperor's face was damaged and he couldn't attend court. A thorough investigation was launched. It was discovered that all the concubines in the palace, except the empress, had used salt.
Even Liu Yanyan used it. The emperor was so angry that he had a headache and shouted to the eunuchs around him every day, "Ah Sheng, my head hurts!"
Whenever this happened, Eunuch Sheng would put down his work and give him a massage.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take a rest? For the sake of your health, you can't work so hard anymore."
"Ah Sheng, what will happen if I don't work hard? Who in the whole palace can share my worries?"
"Her Majesty, have you forgotten that the Queen has no children and her family is weak, so there is no need to worry about her relatives monopolizing power?"
"Is Yanyan not okay?"
"Your Majesty has forgotten that her father is your teacher. Have you forgotten the pain you suffered when you were slapped on the palm of your hand because you couldn't memorize the text when you were a child? Even now, he still has a stern face every day, as if you owe him 800 million."
The emperor's face turned grim when he thought of the beating he received as a child.
"What about Concubine Hui?"
Eunuch Sheng: Concubine Hui doesn’t have you in her heart at all, don’t you realize it?
"Concubine Hui has to take care of the little prince, so she probably won't be able to do anything else."
"Then the Queen will handle it on my behalf."
Ginger: Hehe, this is the most gentle way to transfer power, right?
As for whether the ministers agreed or not, she didn't need to worry about it, the emperor could handle it.
Sure enough, after the emperor killed a large group of people, the ministers all became obedient.
As the queen, Sheng Jiang had to appease the ministers and gain a group of supporters. This was truly a reputation she had earned for free.
At the same time, the ministers became increasingly dissatisfied with the tyrant emperor.
At this time, the competition in the harem changed from competing for favor to who could give birth to the emperor's first son, who would also be a noble son.
Concubine Hui was about to give birth, and she meticulously checked every single thing that entered her body. Liu Yanyan even went so far as to give her various supplements. No matter how she checked, nothing seemed amiss. When it came time for the birth, the midwife said the baby was too large, making it difficult to deliver.
Concubine Hui gave birth for three full days, and in the end, there were two bodies.
Finally, he realized that Liu Yanyan had deliberately sent so many supplements to him, and even used the emperor's name to ask him to take supplements. She had deliberately made the fetus large and difficult to deliver.
The emperor was very sad and wanted to punish Liu Yanyan, but he was afraid to do so because of the shadow left by the Grand Tutor. He comforted Concubine Hui's family.
Ginger took the opportunity to win over others. He gained a bunch of supporters for free. Hey, I think lying down and doing tasks is also pretty good.
Not long after, Wanpin fell down while walking and had a miscarriage. She looked down and found that the ground was covered with moss. She checked and found that it was Liu Yanyan again.
Liu Yanyan's belly had also grown big, and the many women in the harem stared at her with eyes that seemed to want to poke two holes in her.
Finally, one night, Liu Yanyan was passing by a deserted palace when suddenly, many night cats jumped out from the palace walls and rushed down towards her. She was so frightened that she fell to the ground, bleeding profusely. The imperial physician warned her that she would never get pregnant again.
Ever since the emperor learned that the prince was dead, he never saw Liu Yanyan again.
The white moonlight turned into mosquito blood, and it was the kind of mosquito that you wanted to kill immediately. One can imagine the life Liu Yanyan lived in the palace.
After gaining power, Sheng Jiang went to see the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I caught someone a few days ago."
The emperor didn't understand.
"The servants said he was a secret guard in the Crown Prince's Mansion, named An Yi."
"An Yi? Did he also fake his death?" The emperor felt as if his head was green.
"An Yi was assigned by the Emperor to protect Miss Liu. Once, she was assassinated, and it was An Yi who risked his life to save her. He was a hero who saved the beauty, and from then on, he secretly fell in love with her. However, due to her status as the Crown Princess, she had to agree to fake her own death and live together forever."
"If you are dead, why do you come back?" the emperor was furious.
"Of course, the money I took with me was long gone, and I couldn't live the life of an ordinary citizen. I was worried about food and clothing every day. So I wanted to come back and seek wealth and glory."
"Let the baby in her belly..."
"Of course it's yours. An Yi's martial arts skills aren't high enough to allow him to move freely in the palace. One time, Eunuch Sheng was out of the palace on business and saw a man who looked very familiar. He then investigated and discovered his identity. The servants were able to capture him because he was too hungry to fight the palace guards."
Emperor: ...Luckily, you didn't make me wear a hat after I came back. No, I wore one when I was still the Crown Prince!
The emperor became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. The blood clot in his brain had not been cleared when he fell off the sheep cart, and now, after being stimulated again, he was vomiting blood.
Before he fainted, he no longer cared about anything and ordered the extermination of all nine generations of the Liu family!
An Yi was an orphan and was executed by slow slicing.
The emperor died soon after Liu Yanyan's death, and he died with his eyes open.
Since the emperor had no children, it was natural for Jiang to become the empress.
