Chapter 287 Phoenix Room 16
"I can't bear to leave either..." The queen said to herself, no longer calling herself "I am the palace". After she said this, she shook her head gently.
Bai Jinyu had only seen some poems and songs describing palace grievances in books before. Most of them were works by men who were not satisfied with talent and had no idea about palace lyrics. They could not understand the sadness and loneliness at all. Now, facing the queen in front of her, she had a real experience of this loneliness in the deep palace.
It's really depressing.
Bai Jinyu said: "It turns out that the Empress is sad."
This was Bai Jinyu's understanding, but the queen shook her head and said, "It's not sad." As she said that, she turned her face, looked towards the hollow sky facing the light on the window frame, and murmured, "I seem to dislike him."
The queen's voice was not loud, but Bai Jinyu's ear seemed to be blown up! The queen actually said she disliked the emperor. Bai Jinyu subconsciously looked around and was relieved after she was sure that there was no one around her.
"Empress..."
"I don't know why I'm telling you this," the queen smiled, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe I want to remind you to avoid repeating the same mistakes!"
Bai Jinyu couldn't understand even more, and she felt her forehead tight.
"Do you like King Jin?" the queen asked suddenly.
This really made me ask the fatal point. Bai Jinyu was startled by the queen's turn and was stunned for a long time.
She found that there were some problems with her intelligence today. Not only did she not understand the words, she seemed to be unable to answer a simple question. As "Su Lihua", she should of course answer "like", but when she thought that she was fake, Feng Chen was actually her sister's husband. The word "like" was like being stuck in her mouth and could not say it anyway.
When the queen saw her like this, she was not surprised, but she showed a look of relief on her face: "I know Lihua, you are a unique woman. It's great that you don't like King Jin!"
It’s great not to like King Jin?
Bai Jinyu scratched her cheek and couldn't help but ask, "Does the Empress like His Majesty the Emperor?" After asking, Bai Jinyu felt innocent and abrupt. What a hell is this? It seems that the Queen is full of sadness and disappointment. If she doesn't like it, she wouldn't have so much affection! Besides, she is a queen, would she really admit that she doesn't like the Emperor?
"I liked it before."
However, the queen once again exceeded Bai Jinyu's expectations. She answered, and she still answered, "I liked it before"... The implication is self-evident, which means that now I don't like it anymore.
It was so strange, I really wanted to know the reason, Bai Jinyu couldn't help but be curious and asked with courage: "Why is it 'the past'?"
The queen smiled faintly, as if she was trapped in some memory, and said leisurely: "In the past, my Majesty had only one wife."
Bai Jinyu seemed to understand a little.
The queen continued: "Later, one, two, three... more and more, I began to accept that he had several new concubines every year. Seeing those beautiful and cute women doing their best to win his favor, and he was indeed moved by them... I was a little disgusted."
Bai Jinyu was dumbfounded and couldn't help looking around again, and made sure that there was no one around him.
"Disgusting?" Bai Jinyu squatted down carefully, looked straight with the sitting queen, and said curiously: "Why is it disgusting?"
The queen sighed and said, "Because it is unfair. You are the only man, and your experience is limited to him. But he has dozens of different women, including fat and thin. Even if he doesn't say it, you know that he will compare you with other women."
Bai Jinyu nodded with enlightenment and admitted, "This seems...it's a bit disgusting."
The queen said, "The reason I tell you this is because the King of Jin will be the same in the future."
She took a long breath, looked up at the sky, and sighed quietly, "The scholar is still tempting, but the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is tempting, and the woman is
A scholar can still be said. A woman cannot be said. This sentence comes from the Book of Songs, which means that a man who falls in love can escape, but once a woman falls in love, she will be unable to extricate herself for the rest of her life.
Bai Jinyu said in a daze: "Is the Empress saying... Will the King of Jin have many concubines?"
The queen affirmed: "Yes."
Bai Jinyu felt her scalp tingling a little and stuttered, "How many will there be?"
The queen thought for a while and said, "Look at the female relatives who came today, there are more than a dozen Kings of E, seven Kings of Ning, eight Kings of Southern, and seven Kings of Wei... The place where the place where the person who didn't have the status has not arrived yet."
"Ah?" Bai Jinyu's face wrinkled in a ball: "So many?"
However, as soon as the word "double" was said, Bai Jinyu felt as if she had hurt the queen, because she had seen Feng Hua's concubines in Weiyang Palace that night, and there were far more than seven or eight, and more than a dozen.
Bai Jinyu immediately laughed and explained to her: "The royal family pays attention to their offspring. This may be for the purpose of inheriting blood. Since I have married the royal family, I can only accept it. Fortunately, I can't enjoy the glory and wealth here and do not have to work hard for a livelihood. This is another kind of compensation."
Bai Jinyu said that this was originally intended to make the queen relax, but she never thought that as soon as she finished speaking, the queen's expression became even more dim.
"Empress, what's wrong with you?" Bai Jinyu stroked her hand.
The queen pursed her lips, and some crystal clearness surged in the corners of her eyes: "I used to be able to choose... This is my choice after all, and I can't blame others."
Bai Jinyu: “…”
The queen asked: "Lihua, what kind of days do you yearn for?"
The queen seemed to be still trapped in the memories of the past, but when she asked this, Cuizhu immediately flashed through Bai Jinyu's mind, and then said without thinking: "Do you yearn for the days? It's naturally the Cang Cliff and the Qinggu, the idle clouds, the fields and mountain streams, and the bamboos are everywhere."
Bai Jinyu said, unable to help but feel excited, and a curved curve was raised to the corner of her mouth. She sighed softly, as if after hearing the Queen's voice, she seemed to want to return to Cuizhu even more.
"Your Highness, King of Jin!"
Bai Jinyu was wandering in Cuizhu when she suddenly heard the queen calling out the door, and she stood up and looked out.
I saw that Feng Chen was led by a little palace maid standing at the door. The golden afterglow of the setting sun shone on his shoulders, and the elegant outline was coated with a layer of magnificent golden light.
The queen walked out of the embroidery case and went up to greet Feng Chen. Bai Jinyu was worried that Feng Chen would hear the "day she longed for" just now, and it seemed to be hiding behind the queen.
Feng Chen and the queen politely made a move and set their eyes on Bai Jinyu. Bai Jinyu held his gentle gaze, feeling guilty, and her hands were secretly twisted into hemp rope behind her.
