The Marriage Granted by the Emperor (2)
Is everything before my eyes true or false?
The performers on stage sang their hearts out. Emperor Yongcheng was already a little crazy in the audience, and other people were present.
Qin Yu looked at the faces one by one and matched them with the people in his memory.
Those who should have died long ago were now sitting in front of him alive, and the Qin Yue and Qin Yan in front of him were ten years younger than he remembered.
Qin Yu's heart is filled with turmoil, but it doesn't show on his face at all. His eyes finally fell on the plump young woman diagonally across from him.
It was Princess Zhaoyang, his biological sister from the same mother.
Zhaoyang's death was an opportunity to change him, pulling him back from the brink of insanity. Afterwards, he learned from his pain and became more ruthless in his attacks, finally able to take revenge. But now, Zhaoyang is still fine, sitting in front of him alive, with a body twice as large as an opera singer, which is very conspicuous in this palace banquet...
His little sister wasn't dead yet.
Perhaps Qin Yu's gaze was too intense. Princess Zhaoyang turned her head and saw her brother looking at her with a slight smile on her round face. But then, she didn't know what grandma was saying behind her. , she averted her gaze uneasily and sat up straight.
This... is indeed his little sister.
Zhaoyang is three years younger than him. She was only eighteen years old when she was married off, but she was only thirteen years old when he had an accident.
After the accident, the Empress focused all her attention on him and, of course, ignored Zhaoyang, who had always been very well-behaved. Perhaps due to being ignored by them, Zhaoyang slowly changed.
At first, she was just a little introverted and shy, but then she became cowardly and withdrawn. At first, she was a little chubby, but then she got fat.
A fat and cowardly woman, she knew that she had not lived a good life, but she did not know how to complain to her mother and brother, so no one knew that she had suffered a lot, and in the end... she even died in silence.
Qin Yu felt pain in his heart, but his eyes became clearer.
He still didn't feel anything in his legs, but when he pinched his arm, he could clearly feel the pain, and the tingling pain in his waist was very familiar.
He lost his body for ten whole years and came back.
He seemed... to have returned to many years ago, to the day when he was married off.
At this time, he had already had enough of Emperor Yongcheng. However, his imperial sister had not died, his queen mother was not seriously ill, Qin Yue was still following Qin Yao, begging for mercy, and Qin Yan, the white-eyed wolf, was only fourteen years old. , acting as a good brother in front of him all day long.
Despite the rebellion south of the Yangtze River at this time, various treasures and beauties continued to be delivered according to Emperor Yongcheng's requirements. Although the Rong tribes in the north crossed the border from time to time and came to thresh the grass valley, some tribes still ran their own affairs and had no control over each other. They were still fighting nonstop.
At this time, corrupt officials were rampant in Da Qin.
Qin Yu's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his mood was agitated.
After his death, he tried hard to think about the advantages and disadvantages of his life, but he never thought that he would have the chance to come back again. He will return with many memories of being a ghost for the next twenty years!
After getting excited, Qin Yu was a little confused. Getting an opportunity like that was like a cake falling from the sky. What can he do if he takes this cake?
Revenge? Repair? Or protect Da Qin country?
The confusion only lasted a moment. Qin Yu immediately came to his senses. Now was not the time for him to lose his mind.
Emperor Yongcheng had called the actor down to the stage to pour him wine. He was a little drunk. At this time, he used his fingers to pick up a strand of the actor's hair and sniffed it at the tip of his nose: "The embroidered hibiscus smiled and flew to the side. The duck was lined with fragrant cheeks, and her eyes moved. She was really beautiful... Are you willing to enter the palace and become a cairen?"
Although Emperor Yongcheng was an emperor, no matter his appearance or daily behaviour, he was more like a Casanova. That behaviour seemed a little reckless at the moment, but everyone here was used to it.
Although the status of a cairen in the harem is not high, as an actor, she has already reached the sky in one step. The actor immediately showed a grateful expression and knelt down to express her thanks. When she raised her head again, she looked even more charming.
Qin Yu saw this scene in his eyes and said to himself: "here we go."
Sure enough, the next second, sitting next to Emperor Yongcheng, Xiao Guifei, who was still very beautiful and full of the charm of a mature woman even though she was nearly forty years old, stood up and said: "Congratulations to your majesty for winning another beautiful woman."
Emperor Yongcheng's face showed a hint of joy, and his mood was obviously very good.
"Your Majesty, this person's origins are still unknown. She is also just an actor. When she first appeared, she was awarded the title of Cairen. Isn't that outrageous?" Empress Zhao suddenly stood up and said.
Empress Zhao had long turned a blind eye to Emperor Yongcheng's recruitment of beauties, but ever since Qin Yu's accident, she had begun to oppose Xiao Guifei at every turn. Xiao Guifei originally discovered this actor from south of the Yangtze River. If Xiao Guifei had the help of Emperor Yongcheng, how could she stand still? Doesn't it encourage Xiao Guifei's arrogance? She had to try to suppress it.
Empress Zhao had just turned forty this year, but worrying about her son all day in the past few years had made her look ten years older than her actual age. Even heavy makeup couldn't cover the lines at the corners of her eyes.
Emperor Yongcheng always liked looking at beautiful women, so he didn't want to see her anymore. Now, when he heard her say this, he looked even more sullen.
"Big sister Zhang was born into a scholarly family. When she was young, his family was bullied by bandits, so she became an actor. So her origins are not unknown." Xiao Guifei said with a smile.
"The imperial concubine is always very busy. But she knows the origins of an actor very clearly!" The Empress looked on coldly.
"Sister, don't be angry." Xiao Guifei said softly.
"Empress, sit down!" Emperor Yongcheng became impatient and spoke harshly.
This was exactly the same as what he had experienced in his life, and at this moment, Qin Yu was sure that he had indeed experienced it again.
Empress Zhao finally sat down, and Emperor Yongcheng released Zhang Cairen after Empress Zhao made a fuss.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I think my sister is angry because she has something on her mind." Xiao Guifei consoled Emperor Yongcheng, who looked displeased.
"Apart from causing trouble for me, what else can she do?" Emperor Yongcheng sneered. In recent years, Empress Zhao had encountered him everywhere. He became increasingly displeased with Empress Zhao. Qin Yu also always reminds him to do something. The officials who helped him made him never want to see the mother and child again.
"There are so many people celebrating the happy occasion this year. My niece Yao'er got a wife, Prince Chen married off his daughter, and the eldest princess also got a daughter-in-law. Duan wang had no one to accompany him. I think big sister is worried about this." Xiao Guifei
said with a shining light in her eyes.
They had just brought a group of actors, flowers, birds, and plants from Jiangnan to please Emperor Yongcheng and taken bribes from the officials there. As soon as they turned around, Qin Yu had caught all the weaknesses of all the officials related to them.
Several officials they had worked hard to support suddenly had to fall. They hate Qin Yu so much that their teeth itch with hatred.
Qin Yu made things difficult for them, so they would naturally make things difficult for Qin Yu… Xiao Guifei had discussed with the others that today, she would get a "good" marriage for Qin Yu.
Emperor Yongcheng frowned when he heard this. He knew very well what happened to his eldest son's body. Qin Yu is no longer human at all. With something like this, what kind of wife could he marry? Is it really necessary...
"Even though Duan wang's health… is hindered, those eunuchs can still marry wives, so Duan wang cannot be left without someone to warm his bed." Xiao Guifei said with a smile.
At that time, Qin Yu immediately changed his face and stated that he did not want to get married. He had decided not to marry for the rest of his life so as not to harm other girls.
But there was no point in what he said.
This time, Qin Yu stopped talking and looked at Emperor Yongcheng.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yu was suddenly stunned. Judging from the look on Emperor Yongcheng's face...it seems like he already knew that Xiao Guifei would mention this matter.
The father-son relationship between Qin Yu and Emperor Yongcheng had been completely exhausted in his previous life. Now he realized that he was not angry at all. He just laughed inwardly and continued watching the show.
He was like this, but Empress Zhao was very wise. She actually hoped that his son would get a wife. Even if he couldn't have children, if he married a wife and chose a son from the clan to adopt, his son would have someone to pay his respects to after his death.
"Who is the future Wangfei that the concubine has in mind?" Emperor Yongcheng asked. It was clear that Qin Yu was Empress Zhao's son, but he was discussing his marriage with Xiao Guifei.
Before Xiao Guifei could speak, Princess Rongyang, who was sitting below, suddenly stood up: "Elder brother, I have something to ask you." "
"What's wrong?" Emperor Yongcheng asked again.
"Emperor Brother ." Princess Rongyang suddenly covered her face and started crying: "Emperor Brother, your sister's eldest daughter is a bit stupid by nature. I don't hate her, and it's fine for me to raise her for the rest of her life. However, If she does not marry, she will not even be able to enter the ancestral grave in the future and will only be a lonely ghost. She is a piece of flesh that fell from your sister's body. Your sister really couldn't bear to see her in such a state, so I begged the emperor to help her. With a gift."
