Chapter 31
Just like its name, the widow's house is rarely cared for, and it is located in the most remote corner of the palace.As soon as he returned to the palace in the morning, he was put under house arrest here, isolated from the outside world.The cost of food and clothing is quite a lot, and it looked decent at the beginning.Gradually, those newly arrived court ladies and eunuchs who didn't know Ming Chen began to be contemptuous and unreasonable when they saw that they were not powerful masters.
There was only one maid named Hui'er who delivered meals, because she knew Qing Wu, she was very respectful to Ming Chen.Qing Wu also learned about the current situation in the palace bit by bit through Hui Er.
The empress dowager, the former empress, suffered a stroke. Although she saved her life, she was already stupid. She was sent by the filial new emperor to the Fengtian Temple in the palace to recuperate with peace of mind.The most powerful person in the harem today is Concubine Yi, because the empress has not yet formally married the emperor, and the other concubines of the former emperor have no heirs, and have been sent to the royal temple to practice cultivation. Therefore, Concubine Yi temporarily acts as the empress Preside over the affairs of the harem.
The queen who has not entered the palace is the daughter of the prime minister of the current dynasty and the niece of Concubine Yi. She is 18 years old and her name is Yi Mingyue. .Now the new emperor is served by some low-grade concubines, only one Meimei is said to be very favored, and she is called to serve her bed every day.
Mingchen heard that Qing Wu only talked about the situation of these concubines, but did not mention Zhu Tianfang, so she asked: "Where is my sixth brother? Where is he now?"
"Sixth prince, ah no, he is now the sixth prince, sent by the emperor to fight in the northwest!" Qing Wu hurriedly added.
"Strange, why are you all gone? Where's the elder brother?"
"The deposed prince was bestowed to death by the late emperor that night!" Qing Wu replied timidly in a low voice.
"What!" The water glass in Mingchen's hand fell to the ground with a slap, and was shattered. "What happened to make the emperor be so cruel?"
"I heard, I heard...it was because the former prince was having an affair with the late emperor's concubine. The former emperor bumped into him on the spot and deposed the prince in a fit of anger. I didn't expect that the prince would not think about his own mistakes, but intended to rebel, so he was... Afterwards, Emperor Xian fell ill with anger and never recovered, and then followed suit."
"Impossible! Impossible!" Mingchen was shocked. The prince's elder brother has always been polite and respectful. Although the father is strict, he loves the child very much. How could such an accident happen?Someone must be playing tricks on it!Could it be that I was too naive and didn't see the turbulent undercurrent hidden under the beautiful appearance of these fathers and sons?It is said that there is no father and son in the Tian family. Could it be that he has been too dull all along?
"What's impossible? Tomorrow!" Zhu Tianchen's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Looking back in the morning, I only saw a gorgeous bright yellow.He waved the eunuch and Qing Wu behind him, stepped forward and hugged her, rubbed his lips against Ming Chen's hair and muttered: "Do you know you're wrong?"
Ming Chen angrily wanted to push him away, but he hugged him even tighter, so he could only shout: "Tell me, what happened to the father, the mother, and the elder brother?"
"That's what you heard! Why, don't you believe it?" Zhu Tianchen's voice sounded a little sinister.
Could it be that people have changed after becoming an emperor?
"Do you know your mistake?" Zhu Tianchen asked again.
"What's wrong with me?" Mingchen didn't know why.
"Being married by decree, you dare to run away from the marriage, don't you think you are wrong?" Zhu Tianchen's face was extremely serious.
"I want to make my own decisions about my marriage. Second brother, we are really not suitable. Don't you already have a queen?" Speaking of running away from marriage, Ming Chen knew he was wrong, and his tone softened.
"If you hadn't escaped marriage, you would be the one who entered the middle palace now! Since you are so unwilling, then I will give this position to someone else. However, since you have been given a marriage to me, you are mine. Don't even think about leaving again in this life!" Zhu Tianchen became domineering, he really had the majesty of an emperor to kill and attack decisively, but it was a pity that he used it in the wrong place.
"You, how can you be so unreasonable? I don't want to, I just don't want to! It's useless if you force me!" Mingchen turned her back angrily.
"Mingchen, you are already 17 years old, it's time to grow up, since you are so ignorant, then I will help you grow up today! Maybe, when you become my woman, you will fall in love with me!" Without waiting for Mingchen's response, he flicked his sleeves and walked out, saying, "Fu Hai, tonight, Xuan Qiu will attend bed with Mingchen!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The respectful eunuch bowed his head and agreed.Fu Hai had served Zhu Tianchen by his side since he was a child, so he knew his master's thoughts best.Now that the master has become the emperor, his status has also risen.He turned around and said earnestly to Ming Chen in the house: "Nv Qiucai, please don't offend the emperor again. The emperor didn't sleep the whole night when he escaped from marriage. He was very sad. The fate cannot be violated. You should prepare well and the slave will come again at night." Pick you up!"
