Chapter 003 First Encounter
Chapter 003 First Encounter
It was almost dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun slanted into Zhaoyang Hall, stretching the figures of the two people very long.
Perhaps the emperor was too frightened by the too real dream, and the hands holding Feng Qi tightened, as if the person in his arms would suddenly disappear if he let go.
At the beginning, Feng Qi was held by the emperor without saying anything, but the emperor's hand became tighter and tighter, and it made his chest feel tight, and he was almost out of breath, so he could only raise his hand and push it slightly, hoping that the emperor could relax .
It's a pity that the emperor didn't understand what Feng Qi meant, thinking that he didn't want to be hugged by him, even though he knew in his heart that Feng Qi had never loved him, he was still a little worried, so he hugged him even tighter, and put his head on his shoulder, As if to speak something.
Feng Qi had been copying scriptures for a day in the Compassionate Ning Palace, she was already exhausted, and now she was held by the emperor and couldn't move, the stagnant energy in her chest and abdomen was accumulating, he couldn't stand it, so she didn't wait for the emperor to speak , directly pushed the person away, ran to the outside of the hall and supported a sycamore tree and retched.
The embrace was suddenly empty, and the emperor looked stunned, as if he didn't understand what happened, and when he looked up again, he found that Feng Qi had already run outside the hall, lying under a tree and vomiting heart-rendingly.
Seeing this scene, the unhappiness in the emperor's heart dissipated immediately, he quickly stepped out of Zhaoyang Hall, walked to Feng Qi's side, stretched out his hand to support him, and patted him on the back lightly twice to help him relax.
Feng Qi vomited for a while, but it had already stopped, but after being slapped by the emperor, she felt her stomach churning again. He clutched his chest, turned his head to look at the emperor, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, don't slap, I feel uncomfortable..."
Immediately, the emperor was too frightened to move any more, so he could only lend Feng Qi his arm, so that he could have something to rely on when he lost his strength.
Panting for a while, Feng Qi took two deep breaths, feeling that there was no turbid air in her chest and abdomen, and her whole body was much refreshed. Fang knelt down in front of the emperor, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please make amends."
"Huaijin, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, don't freeze." The emperor felt sorry for Feng Qi before it was too late, how could he punish him for his misdemeanor, he helped her up with both hands, with a look of wanting to hug but not daring , I could only tentatively ask: "Is it better now? I will help you in first, the wind is strong outside, carefully catch a cold."
Feng Qi didn't refuse the emperor's help, she leaned obediently in his arms, and was sent back to the apse half-embraced, but his body was always a little stiff.
With the assistance of An Zhi and Ting Lan, Feng Qi was placed on the bed and lay down, and the emperor immediately sent Ji Xiang to announce the imperial physician.
Feng Qi saw that the emperor was running around in the room in a hurry, not knowing what to do, so she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, your body...is fine."
"Spitting up like this, how can it be okay?" Although there was already a prince and a princess before, but when Concubine Shen Gui and Yin Jieyu were pregnant, the emperor sent people to reward things at most. How could he ever see them pregnant? when the scene.
Facing the righteous emperor, Feng Qi was quite helpless, she could only explain in a low voice: "I heard from the elders that this is always the case when you are pregnant..." Even though she has been in the palace for four years When the topic of pregnancy was brought up, Feng Qi still seemed embarrassed.
For a long time, because of the elixir that can allow men to conceive, in the Zhou Dynasty, intermarriage between men and men was a normal thing. Even in the palace, there were male concubines in all dynasties. Like the former emperor Yao Guijun, he can be said to be the most favored in the sixth palace , no one can take away its brilliance.
However, although men can bear children, ordinary families still have a choice when marrying sons. In noble families, those who will be married off are mostly concubines who are not favored. When the points are not enough, marry two and go out.
There are also several male concubines in the emperor's palace, like Xu Ziqi, the noble servant who first entered the palace, who is the eldest son of Xu Jingyuan, the minister of Guanglu Temple.
Xu Jingyuan has been married for many years, and Mrs. Xu has always had nothing to do. Mrs. Xu couldn't see it, so she gave her son a concubine named Min.This Aunt Min was lucky, she gave Xu Jingyuan a son in the second year after entering the house, Xu Ziqi.
Although there was a clear distinction between the concubine and concubine in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the status of the concubine was completely incomparable with that of the concubine, but the Xu family did not have a concubine, and Xu Ziqi enjoyed the treatment of the concubine in the Xu family until he was seven years old.
When Xu Ziqi was seven years old, Mrs. Xu, who had no hope of having a son, suddenly became pregnant and gave birth to a son smoothly.It is conceivable how happy Xu Jingyuan and the Xu family will be if they have a son in the middle age, or a direct descendant.
With Xu Ergongzi's existence, Xu Ziqi's position in the Xu family became very embarrassing.In the fourth year of Wanchang, the emperor's first draft after he ascended the throne, the empress dowager personally selected Mr. Xu, which made Xu Jingyuan and Mrs. Xu heave a sigh of relief.
There is also Jin Shi Su Yu, compared to Xu Ziqi, Su Yu is even harder.The Su family in Jinxiang Hou's Mansion is the mother's family of the Empress Dowager Su, and Su Yu's biological father, Su Yizhi, is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Su and the eldest son of the Hou Mansion at that time.Although the Su family has no real job, at least they have a title. Unfortunately, Su Yu's life is hard. Before he was born, his father died of illness, and the title of son fell to his uncle Su Yaozhi.Three months later, Su Yu was born, because his biological mother also passed away when he was three years old, and Su Yu was raised by his uncle and aunt.The newly appointed Jinxiang Hou Shizi is okay with his nephew, but the wife of Shizi is not. She finds Su Yu quite an eyesore.In Wanchang's seven-year draft, she even persuaded Queen Mother Su to report Su Yu's name to the draft list, thus entering the palace.
It is not uncommon for men like Xu Ziqi and Su Yu who are awkward in their own families to be married or enter the palace at the discretion of their family members.But Feng Qi's situation is completely different from theirs. He is the eldest son of Feng Xiang, the Minister of the Household Department, and the Tan Hua Lang handpicked by the emperor in the ninth year of Wanchang. If there is no accident, he will never appear in the harem. What became possible was none other than the current emperor.
The Emperor couldn't hear Feng Qi's hesitant tone. He sat down on the stool in front of the bed, and softly comforted him: "Don't worry about it, let the imperial doctor see it first. If the imperial doctor says it's okay, I will let you The Imperial Dining Room makes your favorite pastries."
Feng Qi chuckled when she heard the words, "Your Majesty, I'm not a child." It's shameful to be tempted with pastries at such a young age, but he really misses having not eaten sweets for several days.
The emperor also smiled and said, "So what if you're not a child, don't you like eating pastries if you're not a child?" The emperor will never forget that the earliest connection between him and Feng Qi stems from those delicate and lovely pastries.
That was 20 years ago. At that time, the emperor was not the emperor, but the third prince of the former emperor.
That day, the third prince Xiao Xiyi, who had just turned four years old, sneaked out of Luo Zhaoyi's Oasis Palace, intending to go to Wei Shuxun's Chuxiu Palace.
He didn't understand, since he was Luo Zhaoyi's child, how could someone say that Luo Zhaoyi wasn't his mother and concubine, but Wei Shuxun from Chuxiu Palace was.They also said that Luo Zhaoyi didn't have any children of her own before, so she treated him well, and when she gave birth to a prince, she would not treat herself well.
Xiao Xieyi didn't want to believe those people's words, but Luo Zhaoyi's estranged attitude towards her after pregnancy made it hard to find any reason to refute.So this afternoon, while Luo Zhaoyi was taking a nap, he slipped out of Ganquan Palace.
Perhaps it was due to Xiao Xiyi's good luck, when he took a shortcut through the imperial garden, he happened to meet Wei Shuxun and the fifth prince Xiao Xiange out for a walk.The expression on Wei Shuxun's face was very gentle, which Xiao Xieyi had never seen on Luo Zhaoyi's face, and he was a little envious.
Standing in place for a moment, Xiao Xieyi went up to pay respects in a regular manner, and secretly glanced at Wei Shuxun from the corner of his eye while paying respects, only to find that the way Wei Shuxun looked at him was no different from looking at other people. It's not as kind as Luo Zhaoyi.
Xiao Xiange was having fun picking flowers and fluttering butterflies, but was a little unhappy when Xiao Xieyi stopped him. He kept tugging on Wei Shuxun's sleeves and yelled "Wow wow". Wei Shuxun was anxious to appease the fifth prince, He didn't talk to Xiao Xieyi any more, and took people away.
After Wei Shuxun left with Xiao Xiange, Xiao Xieyi puffed her cheeks angrily, and sat down on the grass next to the stone path.
It turned out that Wei Shuxun had a son, so no matter whether she was her child or not, she would definitely not be her favorite. Feeling aggrieved, Xiao Xieyi hugged her bent knee with both hands, and buried her head in it.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Xieyi suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he looked up, it was a chubby milk doll, wearing a bright red robe, standing pitifully in front of him, stretching out his hand to lightly tug on his lapel, " I can't find my aunt, woo woo..."
"Little guy, who are you?" Xiao Xiyi asked curiously, the little baby is about the same age as Xiao Xiange, but in Xiao Xiyi's opinion, he is much cuter than Xiao Xiange, especially the chubby little face, look People really want to take a bite.
"My name is Feng Qi. My father and mother call me Qiqi." Although Feng Qi is young, she speaks very clearly. When he speaks, the little flesh on his face trembles. Xiao Xieyi can't help but look at it. Covering her mouth and giggling, this milk doll is so fun, she really wants to abduct her back to the palace.
Xiao Xieyi thought so, and did the same thing. He stretched out his hand to hold Feng Qi's little hand, and said to him with a smile: "Qiqi, brother, will I take you to find my aunt?"
Feng Qi seemed to have some doubts about Xiao Xieyi's words, her round black eyes rolled back and forth in her sockets, she looked him up and down, and then asked cautiously: "Brother, what's your name? Are you really going to take me to find my aunt? "
"My name is Xiao Xieyi, you can call me brother Xieyi." Looking at the serious eyes of the child, Xiao Xieyi nodded repeatedly, expressing that she is not a bad person.
Feng Qi stared at him for a while, finally nodded, and said crisply: "Brother Xieyi, you are really a good person."
Just like that, Xiao Xieyi led Feng Qi back to Ganquan Palace.Luo Zhaoyi is busy raising the baby, so he doesn't care much about him recently, Xiao Xieyi is happy to be free, he asks the little eunuch Huanxi to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to spread the word, saying that a child named Feng was picked up by him.A child who can be brought into the palace by his family is definitely not from an ordinary family. Although Xiao Xieyi didn't know who Feng Qi belonged to, he could imagine that the person who brought Feng Qi into the palace would definitely greet the Queen Mother in the Palace of Compassion , go there to find someone is right.
Arriving in a strange place, Feng Qi seemed very nervous, sitting next to Xiao Xieyi, motionless.
In order to make him happy, Xiao Xieyi asked someone to bring a lot of cakes, but Feng Qi's eyes lit up all of a sudden, he turned to look at Xiao Xieyi, and whispered: "Brother Xieyi, can I eat all these things?"
Looking at those sparkling eyes, Xiao Xieyimeng's heart almost melted, and she hurriedly said, "Yes, you can eat everything."
With Xiao Xiyi's permission, Feng Qi ate the cakes with relish, but the order in which he ate was rather strange, he took a bite out of each kind of cake and then put it down, and ate another one instead.Xiao Xieyi thought that he didn't like it, and didn't care, and didn't want Feng Qi to start eating again after finishing the first round, still the same as before, only taking one bite of each item.Xiao Xieyi was stunned, his eyes almost popped out, what a strange way to eat, he had never seen it before.
