Adore Trick of Beauty

In the "Chenghua Palace", the candles were brightly lit, and the long and tedious ceremony was over. Nie Wushuang sat on the side of the bed, looking at the newly furnished palace through the bead curtain in front of him, with carved beams and painted buildings, all of which were extremely luxurious and exquisite decorations.

The four walls are painted with the powder of pepper flowers, exuding a fragrant atmosphere. This is the so-called pepper room. The capital supervisor in the palace carefully selected this palace to report to the emperor, and the emperor readily agreed to make it a special palace for the new empress. It is the residence for the late emperor's mother, the Empress Dowager, to enjoy her old age. The only disadvantage is that it is far away from the "Dan of Ganlu". It is not as close as "Yonghua Palace".

Nie Wushuang gently caressed the thin quilt under his hands, the bottom was uneven, just now a palace servant sprinkled red dates and peanuts, implying more children and more blessings. A faint smile appeared on Nie Wushuang's face, Duozi... She had really expected it before....

She was thinking about it in a trance, and suddenly, there was the sound of a palace servant bowing to the ground outside, and Nie Wushuang withdrew her hand, feeling a little nervous in her heart, but after thinking about it, she laughed secretly again.

He has experienced so much with her, and he spends almost every day with her, so what is there to be nervous about?

Before she could make up her mind, the curtain in front of her lifted and Xiao Fengming walked in. He came with the cool night wind outside, which refreshed her tired spirit.

Nie Wushuang looked up at him, the two looked at each other, Xiao Fengming smiled, stepped forward to lift the bead curtain hanging from her phoenix crown, and suddenly a face that was so beautiful appeared in front of him, the candlelight in the room was not as good as hers half point.

Xiao Fengming was slightly absent-minded, and Nie Wushuang lowered his head and smiled: "Is the emperor going to look at my concubine like this tonight?"

Xiao Fengming came back to his senses and shook her slender hand with a smile on his handsome face: "I always feel like I'm still in a dream."

He was sitting beside her, and a court lady snickered and stepped forward to tie the skirts of the emperor and empress together, saying auspicious words. There was a gray-haired old woman who came forward to read a prayer for the two of them. Everything was in order, quiet and full of sacred solemnity. Under the long sleeves embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, the two held hands tightly.

In the end, the maid brought the wine, Xiao Fengming dismissed the maid and brought the wine to Nie Wushuang. Refreshing wine, tangy and fragrant. Nie Wushuang looked at the wine glass with a slightly dazed expression on his face.

Both of them were silent, this day was not pure joy for the two of them, the scene of deja vu, similar prayers, the past years go with the years, but the past is more and more vivid at this moment. Everyone always hopes that when they wake up, everything is a new beginning, but they don't know that what they can't let go of is the past.

Xiao Fengming raised his wine glass, with a smile on his thin lips: "Wu Shuang, from today onwards, you are my eternal, only queen."

Nie Wushuang was slightly taken aback, she seemed to be still in a dream, she didn't quite understand what he meant, but she chewed his words carefully, feeling a warm melancholy in her heart. He would like to be with her for a long time, forever.

"Yes, from today on, the emperor is the only husband of my concubine." She smiled, turned sideways, and embraced him. The pearl light on the pearl hairpin reflected her fair and flawless face, she murmured: "Fengming. In Wushuang's heart, you are just Xiao Fengming."

Xiao Fengming's heart was shocked. Two huge red candles were burning on the table, shining a lantern. The light that suddenly lit up at that moment seemed to be moved by her words.

The wine was drained in one gulp. Zhu Chai faded away, washed away all the lead, her plain face was exposed in front of him, the light of the red candle quietly poured into the room, in the scent of fragrance, she tactfully kissed him, nothing could be more beautiful than this moment. Filling her heart with warmth, the long night was silent, and his kiss brought her to the other shore of joy with the heat.

...

This is a good dream, warm and sweet. Nie Wushuang opened his eyes suddenly, only to realize that the long night was about to pass, Xiao Fengming was sleeping beside her, with long arms around her slender waist, the aura of love still dissipated, with a touch of sweetness.

Her spirit was sober at this moment, the moonlight was gone, only a pair of red candles were still burning tirelessly. She looked at his exceptionally clear outline under the candlelight, her heart was peaceful and peaceful, and she gradually felt tired again.

She was about to fall asleep when suddenly a palace official opened the door of the inner hall and hurried in.

"Your Majesty, empress..." The slightly panicked voice of the palace servant was very clear in the dark night.

Startled, Nie Wushuang opened his eyes suddenly. In the inner hall, a gust of cool wind blew due to the sudden opening of the hall door, which immediately blew away the warmth of the room in the hall. The bright candles were almost extinguished by the wind.

Nie Wushuang said angrily: "Bastard! Close the door!" Her heart was pounding. The old man said that if the red candles are extinguished on the wedding night, the couple's marriage will not last long.

The palace man was startled, and quickly got up to close the door. The red candle gradually lit up. Nie Wushuang didn't care about the disheveled clothes on his body, so he got up hastily. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the An Ran candle.

Xiao Fengming was startled awake. Seeing her pale face leaning against the table, he quickly got up and put on her coat. The palace servant who knew he had offended the queen was kneeling on the ground tremblingly, trembling all over.

"What's going on? You want to come to report late at night?" Xiao Fengming asked displeased.

The palace man remembered his reason for coming, lowered his head and said timidly: "Yongxiang is here to report...the empress...no, no, the abolished Empress Xu...hang herself!"

"What?!" Nie Wushuang stood up in surprise.

Xiao Fengming's body trembled slightly. The two looked at each other subconsciously, seeing the same shock in each other's eyes. Xiao Fengming slowly sat on the chair.

Nie Wushuang turned his head away, feeling a lot in his heart. Sure enough, Empress Xu committed suicide! and specially selected

this day.

Well, sure enough! Nie Wushuang couldn't tell whether he was more angry or more pitiful. Empress Xu committed suicide on the night of the new Empress Sealing Ceremony, this congratulatory gift is really special!

Xiao Fengming's face was hidden in the shadow of the candlelight. After a long time, he waved to the palace servants: "I understand. Leave it to Gong Zhengsi. Step back!"

The palace people retreated tremblingly. Xiao Fengming looked at Nie Wushuang in a daze, feeling pity in his heart, and hugged her into his arms: "Don't worry. Her death is expected. She is so proud. She has already decided to leave after we abolished her post. Go this way."

Nie Wushuang felt a chill in her heart, she couldn't convince herself that she was fine. The joyful spirit in the "Chenghua Palace" turned into a dead spirit in an instant in her eyes.

She nestled in his arms, eyes blank: "Why? Why does Queen Xu have to do this?"

"She is resenting me. Wushuang don't think about it anymore!" Xiao Fengming pressed her into his arms, and an extremely complicated expression flashed in his deep eyes: "It has nothing to do with you, what she hates is me!"

He and Empress Xu got married when they were young, and they shared the same bed with different dreams for so many years. She hated him, hated his fickleness and ruthlessness, and even more hated him for not making her son the crown prince. She should hate him.

However, she will never understand why he treats her like this. The throne has never been able to have such a powerful relative!

Xiao Fengming continued: "I'm not wrong. Even if she wants to make me feel a little bit guilty even if she dies, I'm still not wrong!" His voice was sober and cold, with a hidden anger.

Nie Wushuang was shocked by his words and could only stare blankly at his resolute face under the candlelight, watching him repeat over and over again, I am not wrong.

Yes, as the emperor, there is nothing wrong with him doing so. However, he is also her husband, her man...

"Okay, the emperor is not wrong." Nie Wushuang covered his lips and said slowly: "No one is wrong."

Xiao Fengming's eyes gradually returned to the calmness of the past, like an abyss of water in an instant, calm again: "Sleep."

Nie Wushuang nodded obediently, and when he turned around, the red candle was still burning brightly. Seeing the faint joy in her eyes, Xiao Fengming suddenly smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will let the palace people take a good look at this pair of dragon and phoenix candles, and let them burn the other one before taking it away."

Nie Wushuang turned around and saw the same hope in his eyes, and his heart warmed up: "The emperor has also heard such a saying?"

"Yes. I've heard the old man in the palace say it." Xiao Fengming said, and he hugged her into his arms: "It will definitely last forever!"

Nie Wushuang was in his arms, looking at the bright candle flames, and outside the window, the sky was gradually lighting up, and another new day had arrived...

...

The story of Xu's suicide by hanging in Yongxiang after the abolishment spread to all corners of the palace the next day. Some people sighed, some gloated, and some wanted to see the new queen's stance on this matter, but Xiao Fengming had already ordered Gong Zhengsi to handle it, and after the abolished queen Xu's family was abolished, she was just a common man, a straw mat When it was rolled, it was carried out of the palace. Not even half of the excitement was left for those who cared.

The Xu family knew that this had offended Tianyan, so they dared not speak up, and quietly carried it to their ancestral grave and buried it. After the abolition of the Xu family, the only thing left is Concubine Shu who is still imprisoned in Yongxiang. Nie Wushuang asked Xiao Fengming for instructions to demote Concubine Shu to a noble concubine and give her the title Jin, which means that after she leaves Yongxiang, she must be cautious in her words and deeds, so that no troubles will happen again.

On the second day, the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, Concubine Shu was released from Yongxiang and came to thank Nie Wushuang. On that day, Nie Wushuang was receiving greetings and congratulations from all the concubines in the Chenghua Palace. When she looked up, she saw Concubine Shu in plain clothes, with no makeup on her face, walking slowly into the hall.
