The twenty-seventh bowl of soup (seven & eight)

Yuan Jia can't just wait and die like this. Even if he can only become Gu Yu's accessory in this world, he can't even lose the opportunity to see her.

The female emperor does not care about desires, so the number of times in the harem is only a handful every month, even if it is a brand, she often chooses to go to the king's husband. Therefore, even if Yuanjia is of a prominent background and cannot be liked by the empress, it is difficult to meet her.

He had no choice but to walk barefoot on the icy marble floor without a carpet all night, poured cold water into his stomach, and finally made himself sick.

But Yuan Jia miscalculated a little. He thought this was just a minor illness such as a cold and diarrhea, but he forgot that this body is not the original one. Naturally it is not as strong as before. The price of drinking cold water barefoot is that he is really sick. Moreover, I was not very ill, vomiting and diarrhea, the imperial doctor came several times, and I prescribed several medicines, but it didn’t get any better.

Yuan Jia was a little anxious. In this case, what's the use of letting Gu Yu come to see him? Now he looks ugly and dead, sick, and unable to serve her, even if Gu Yu comes, it is only because of the Yuan clan behind him, not for him. When I see his current appearance, I am afraid that I will not like him even more.

But it was useless for him to regret, because the empress had already learned the news of his illness.

Yuan Jiaqiang stood up from the bed. Although he could not dress up, he must not face her with a sickly appearance without getting the empress's heart. Fortunately, the little **** who was attending was more mindful and flexible. Before the empress came in, he used cream powder to cover up his haggardness, but it could reveal a bit of weakness. He took a picture in the mirror, which was what Yuan Jia wanted most. The desired state.

The empress still wears a bright yellow dragon robe. She just came to the court, and heard He Shanggong say that Yuan Gongjun was very ill, and asked her if she wanted to come and have a look. If it were other palace monarchs, it would be fine. The Yuan clan was kind to the female emperor, and there were more officials in the family, so the female emperor would never chill the heart of the Yuan clan.

When entering the hall, Yuan Jia was really weak, but he still had to stand up and salute. The female emperor stepped forward to hold Yuan Jia who was about to worship, and said: "You don't need to be polite, it's good to rest, I will come to see you."

"Thank you for your majesty's care." Yuan Jia quietly raised her eyes to look at the female emperor, only to see her long and narrow eyes, not anger and prestige, her own domineering behavior in her words and deeds, she couldn't help but trembled.

"Help Gongjun back to bed." He Shanggong quickly ordered the eunuchs.

The eunuchs helped Yuan Jia back to the bed with all his might. The empress said a few words to Yuan Jia, expressing her concern and she was about to leave, but Yuan Jia suddenly grabbed her hand. The female emperor was a little strange. She lowered her head and glanced down, and saw Yuan Jia was staring at her intently, her dark eyes gleaming with longing and begging: "Your Majesty, can you stay here for a while? I haven't seen your Majesty for a long time. ..."

The female emperor thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I will wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

Yuan Jia did a lot of homework before he was about to redeem Gu Yu. He also understood roughly what men in this era looked like. At the same time, he also learned from some faces. He usually pays attention to the gossip news in the harem, especially It was about the female emperor, almost every time she mentioned the female emperor, Yuan Jia would dig into the roots.

He put away the old machismo and so-called male self-esteem. He didn't know what those were. What he wanted to do most now was to regain the heart of the empress. Other than that, he wanted nothing else.

Because of this, Yuan Jia did not conceal the affection in his eyes, and the hot gaze made the empress stiff for a few seconds. There are countless beautiful men in the harem, and most of them are happy with her, but she has never seen such a naked gaze, as if all attempts are written in her eyes, so desperate and sincere.

For a tough and indifferent emperor, nothing can burn her more than fiery admiration.

As for Yuan Jia, the empress was unhappy at first, feeling that he was not as knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous as the Yuan clan said. On the contrary... it was a bit vulgar and hard to be elegant. Because of this, she never set foot in his palace again after she was lucky to him once. She is the emperor, and whoever doesn't like it naturally follows her own heart and walks as she pleases, but this time, the female emperor feels inexplicably like this Yuangong Jun didn't hate it the first time he saw it.

In this way, Yuan Jia step by step, slowly began to brush his presence in front of the empress. Since he is not a person in this world, many opinions and ideas are different from those of the rule-abiding ministers in this world. The empress often gets inspiration or novel insights from him. Over time, the two people get along very harmoniously. Rapport.

From a palace prince who was lucky enough to not be cared about after a night, to the palace prince most frequently called by the female emperor besides the prince's husband, Yuan Jia took a path that made all the beautiful men in the harem envy, jealous and hate.

But none of them can replicate the glory of Yuanjia. Many times the female emperor is troubled by certain political affairs. Yuan Jia, who has decades of experience as an emperor, would instruct and suggest to her without a trace, but never take the initiative to speak out. The world has extremely high demands on men, especially the harem. If you dare to say a word or two on major national issues, you will lose your head and punish the Nine Clan.

Besides, Yuan Jia only wants the empress's heart, not Jiangshan, and he doesn't want to be separated from the empress because of this, and even let her guard himself.

However, after working hard for so long, the empress treated him only mildly, and could say a few more words to come to him. But in her eyes, except for a bit more temperature, Yuan Jia could not see anything.

He was a bit sad, but soon after the sadness passed, he quickly refueled himself. How long is he, a little more than half a year, when Gu Yu was by his side for several years at the beginning, it ended up like that, even if he pays off the debt, he has to pay some interest, right?

Thinking of this, Yuan Jia mustered up the courage again.

It just so happened that the palace banquet on the eve of the New Year's Eve was attended by all high-ranking palace monarchs, which naturally included Yuan Jia.

For the evening banquet, Yuan Jia got up in the morning and started to prepare under the urging of the eunuchs. What color robe to wear, what jade crown to wear, which piece of jade to wear... etc.

And he can wear any color, except the bright yellow which represents the emperor and emperor.

Yuan Jia was known as the first beautiful man when he was in the boudoir, and he was even more dazzling and handsome when he was carefully dressed. His rank is second only to that of Wang's husband, so he sits at the bottom left hand of the empress, and Xi Jian Yuanjia can't help but look at the empress.

She is also very beautiful today, but she didn't pay attention to herself from start to finish, except for a few words with the king's husband, the empress basically ignored any palace monarchs. Yuan Jia was holding chopsticks in her hand, but she couldn't stop her grief. He didn't even have the qualifications to sit side by side with her... He was just one of her many palace monarchs, maybe a little bit different, but in fact there was not much difference.

Yuan Jia couldn't restrain the strong sense of loss in his heart. In the past six months, the regrets and pains that he thought had been buried deep in his heart have not been reduced. It is just that he is good at self-comforting and covering up, so he no longer appears, and he thinks the wound has improved.

But still painful.

During this palace banquet, Yuan Jia didn’t move his chopsticks very much, couldn’t eat it, and couldn’t lift his energy. He was even dizzy, but he drank a lot of drinks and drank so dizzy, it seemed that he could bother everything. I forgot about it.

In the end, he couldn't remember how he returned to the bedroom. Anyway, when he woke up the next morning, the headache was unbearable. The little **** sent him to learn about wine and tea and told him that it was ordered by his majesty.

Yuan Jia suddenly shook his head: "How did I get back last night?"

"God back to the palace, he came back from sitting on your majesty's imperial servant." The little **** smiled on his face, and was also very happy because his master was spoiled with a light on his face. The only ones who have sat on your Majesty’s imperial concubine except Wang Fu, are Yuan Gongjun! This is the glory that no other palace monarch has ever had!

Yuan Jia tried to remember what she had said last night, but found nothing. He should have long remembered. This is not his body that can't fall over a thousand cups, but the body of a man like Lin Daiyu who is frail. He should remember it from the last time he fell ill. He didn't expect to commit it again last night.

Seeing that Yuanjia didn't seem very happy, the little **** hesitated and asked, "What's wrong with Gongjun? What a joy for your Majesty to value you so much? Why are you still frowning?"

Hearing what the little **** said, Yuan Jia sighed slightly, what he said was not bad, in the eyes of others, his position in the heart of the empress is absolutely different, but what about it, there is a royal husband in front of him , Can he get past it? Wang Fu didn't make a mistake, and he was married with the empress again. Yuan Jia didn't have that kind of affection. How could he not understand?

It is not easy to talk about taking the Empress completely.

Waved to let the little **** go down, Yuan Jia was a bit at a loss. He has been in this world for more than half a year, but he is living like a year. Now that I think about the past, it was like a world away.

Maybe it was because I owed her, so I came to pay it back in this life.

When Yuan Jia just got acquainted with the Empress, there was hope that the Empress would remember him, but as time passed, he gave up. Gu Yu is different from him. He hasn’t forgotten anything, but she doesn’t remember anything. This is why? Didn’t they still have memories of each other in the last life? Why is it that only oneself remembers this life, but Gu Yu forgets completely?

Is this the way God punishes him?

In this regard, Mo Ze, who watched the whole process, said: Because Gu Yu drank the soup of the Great God Meng Po, you are not qualified to go to the Naihe Bridge!

That night, the empress came. Yuan Jia was very happy, but worried that she said something that shouldn't be said last night. The eyes that looked at the empress were eager to say nothing, until the empress beckoned to him, he ran over like a puppy, Squatting down in front of her, let her cold fingers pinch her cheeks.

"What's wrong, what kind of expression is this? Is there anything I make you uncomfortable?"

"Of course not, but... Your Majesty, I didn't say anything bad last night, did I?" Yuan Jia asked anxiously. He is now especially afraid that he will tell the past and present things without paying attention. The facts are facts, but these weird things, he said in front of an emperor, are really not good. If someone uses this as an excuse to attack him and he doesn't remember anything when he wakes up, how should he explain it?

Thinking of this, Yuan Jia carefully observed the expression of the Empress. Her face was as beautiful as ever, but she couldn't see anything in her expression and eyes. Yuan Jia was a little discouraged, but she regained her courage. Instead of letting the female emperor hear it and then cover up herself, it would be better to ask it simply and refreshingly. "Your Majesty, did I really do something stupid?"

The female emperor closed the book in her hand and said, "I didn't do anything stupid, and talk a lot of nonsense."

lies? Yuan Jia looked at the female emperor's face more seriously, and made sure that although her tone was a little cold, her eyes were relaxed, which showed that she was teasing him instead of blaming him. Thinking about this, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Your Majesty is angry with me?"

"You are talking nonsense at the palace banquet, shouldn't I be angry with you?"

The female emperor’s expression seemed to be smiling, making Yuan Jia, who had just taken the reassurance pill, drummed up in her heart again. What the **** was this... "Then, what did I say?"

He Shanggong on the side chuckled and laughed. "Yuan Gongjun, you, the public, rushed to hold your majesty's waist and cried and said that you love your majesty, and said that you have done something wrong and sorry for your majesty, and you will treat her well in the future. Nothing more."

Just think about it, in public places, with so many eyes staring at him, he is dignified, crying and apologizing for his loyalty... Yuan Jia thought, let him die, no wonder he said everyone today The look in his eyes was a little strange, as if he was a funny actor.

The female emperor heard what He Shanggong said vividly, and found it interesting, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly. Yuan Jia and Wang Fu gave her completely different feelings. She felt calm beside Wang Fu. The two had been together for many years. Wang Fu never bore her. He did everything right, so she was very fond of the female emperor. heart.

Yuan Jia and Wang Fu are completely different. Yuan Jia's temperament escapes, and there are always some surprising words. If the female emperor can take off guard in front of the king's husband, then the female emperor feels rare ease and comfort by Yuan Jia's side. This is also the reason why she likes to come to Yuanjia. He doesn't need to say anything, he always makes her feel happy.

Yuan Jia is no ordinary person who can please the emperor to such a degree.

He Shanggong thought so.

Yuan Jia wanted to kneel down and apologize first. After all, if he did such a stupid thing as Shang Palace said last night, he would definitely lose the royal family's face in full view. But now that the empress didn't mean to inquire about sin, he also hit the snake and went on the stick. He Shanggong immediately took the Gong'e eunuchs with a wink to retreat, leaving space for the two of them.

Yuan Jia snuggled next to the empress and stared at her face. They have been together for half a year, always in a relaxed atmosphere. In addition, he was drunk and made a big joke yesterday. Yuan Jia wanted to take a gamble. He wanted to ask what the empress was thinking in her heart. "His Majesty."

"Ok?"

"What kind of feelings does your majesty have towards the king's husband?" He pondered for a few seconds before asking.

But after asking him, he immediately regretted it, because the empress looked at him and her eyes became colder: "Is this the question you should ask?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Yuan Jia immediately knelt down and pleaded, her body trembling slightly. Unlike Gu Yu, who loves him deeply, the woman in front of him at this moment is a well-deserved iron-blooded emperor. Yuan Jia must admit that Gu Yu is even better than himself. He can help her purely because of his knowledge. Reasons for wider experience and richer experience. In terms of ability and skill, he was inferior to Gu Yu.

The female emperor looked down at him for a few seconds and said indifferently: "Get up."

"Your Majesty Xie." Yuan Jia got up, only to realize that he was sweating coldly. He actually...has been unable to control the fear that he is in front of Gu Yu, as if in the past six months, as they were getting closer, he was slowly being tamed by her.

The empress didn't speak for the next few minutes, but Yuan Jia, who was on the side, couldn't control his physical reaction. He was shocked by his changes. He had never discovered that there was something wrong with him. He thought he was gradually "going to the countryside and following the customs", but in fact, his essence has changed.

change.

It turned out to be such a terrible thing.

So, the self in the last life was also subtly changed by the ancient feudal society? Denying the idea of ​​equality between men and women, monogamy and loyalty to the lover, it is natural to think that as an emperor, he should hug right and left, and Gu Yu must forgive him.

That world was cruel to Gu Yu who refused to change with it, and therefore, in the end Gu Yu would rather burn the jade and stone than succumb. It would be better to break the jade than to complete it, but he himself has not understood this truth.

In this world, he began to change again. In other words, the so-called "going into the countryside and doing the same", this time the change is different from the previous life, but there is no difference in essence.

In the final analysis, his weakness caused this result. The soul is not strong enough, not persistent enough, not enough to maintain oneself, and in order to assimilate him and allow him to survive, the world must allow him to change.

He is not as good as Gu Yu in being an emperor, and he is also far behind Gu Yu in being a man.

In the modern world, Yuan Jia has always thought of himself as an extremely good man, and that is indeed the case. In the ancient world, he always believed that he was unique and worthy of Gu Yu's sacrifice and sacrifice. But now he realized that from beginning to end, he was not worthy of Gu Yu.

He is not worthy of such a good woman.

It is ridiculous that he is still complacent, thinking how powerful and attractive he is.

It's...horrible.

Yuan Jia shook his body. He realized this for the first time, completely unable to contend, he only felt fear. Such him, no wonder Gu Yu in this life couldn't fall in love, because he didn't have the qualities that made her fall in love. She deserves something better, Yuan Jia doesn't know what she deserves, but it's definitely not his way.

"What's wrong? This is, I just said a few words from you, and you are so scared like this?" The empress looked at him suspiciously. When he asked about her relationship with the husband, she did make her a little unhappy. But he just typed a few words casually, knowing that he was sensible, and didn't think about how to blame. See what it looks like, what is this for?

Yuan Jia knelt on the ground without raising her head: "...Your Majesty."

"what's happenin?"

The female emperor reached out to help him, but Yuan Jia knelt on the ground motionless. She frowned slightly, but saw Yuanjia raising her eyes to look at her: "I like Your Majesty."

Being caught off guard was confessed, the empress was a little surprised. There are not many people like Yuanjia who bluntly said that they love her.

"No, I love Your Majesty." Yuan Jia said. "But I am not worthy of your majesty."

"There is nothing worthy of it." The empress never thought about these boring things, she forcefully grabbed Yuan Jia from the ground and put Lai on the chair to sit down, then the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. "Since you can achieve this position, it must show that you are unique. Is it possible that you are skeptical of my vision? Not long ago, I promoted you to the position of the first-rank palace king, cooperating with the king and the husband. In charge of the harem affairs. Now that you say in front of me that something is unworthy, aren't you doubting my vision?"

Yuan Jia looked at her ignorantly, and then asked for a while: "Your Majesty has seen me, how familiar is it?"

"I saw you once before entering the palace, but that's all."

She has forgotten completely and can't remember anything. Whether it was love or hatred, those pasts that were sweet or bitter, or beautiful or sorrowful, were loved for a lifetime, opposed to a lifetime, and in this lifetime, those memories are only remembered by him.

He was sad for those memories, but she had already forgotten happily. Just like she left in the last life, never looked back, never regretted, dared to love and hate, he really was not worthy of this woman.

"Does your majesty believe it? I have a strange memory."

"Ok?"

"In my memory, I have done a lot of sorry for your Majesty. What's more terrifying is that I have never realized my mistakes. I always feel that I love your Majesty. After giving your Majesty love, then I can withdraw my loyalty. But in fact, this is the case. Isn't it right?"

"What are you talking about?" The empress didn't understand how Yuan Jia said something silly today. "Just now you asked me what was going on between me and my husband, but I don't know how to answer you. The husband and me are married, and he took care of my back house before I ascended to the throne. For so many years, I have never made me worry about the harem. Yuanjia, if you talk about being virtuous and generous, you are far worse than Wang Fu."

When Yuan Jia listened, she almost cried out in her eyes! He just doesn't want to be seen... Damn it, this body is all to blame, otherwise how could he want to cry?

"But you also have characteristics that the king's husband doesn't have. Neither of you can replace it. I am righteous with the king's husband and have affection with you. I don't deny that I am pleased with you, but the king's husband is more important than you in my heart. The relationship between me and his husband and wife will never change, do you understand? If one day, I want to make a choice between the two of you, and the husband is my best choice. I hope you can understand this point. I am an emperor first, and your wife master second."
