In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Zhen Huan's sister Yurao attracted the emperor's attention with her beauty and wisdom. The emperor fell in love with Yurao at first sight and showed his love many times, but he never received a response from Yurao. In the face of the emperor's pursuit, Yurao firmly chose her beloved Yunxi. Although the emperor finally fulfilled the marriage between Yurao and Yunxi, was he really willing? Did he secretly set up obstacles and did not want Yurao to give birth to an heir for Yunxi? What are the little-known secrets in this?
The emperor's love for Yurao
Since he first met Yurao in the palace that day, the young emperor Yongzheng can no longer forget her face. Although Yurao was born into a famous family, she was left out because of her family's hardships, but adversity did not destroy her beauty and pride. She is dressed in plain clothes, but it is difficult to hide her outstanding temperament, a pair of sheared autumn eyes, full of pure and clear, and faintly revealing a heroic spirit.
The emperor's affection for Yurao soon spread in the harem. When Concubine Zhen Huan learned of this, she was surprised and delighted. I was surprised that I didn't expect that even the emperor would fall in love with my sister Yurao's beauty; I was happy that if my sister could win the emperor's favor, the Zhen family would be able to regain its strength and glory in the past.
The emperor launched a passionate pursuit of Yurao. He frequently summoned Yurao, gave her all kinds of treasures and jade, and even did not hesitate to give Yurao's relics to show his determination. The emperor took good care of Yurao, for fear that she would be wronged. There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and I have never seen the emperor so favored.
However, Yurao didn't appreciate it. She was unmoved by the emperor's overtures, but bluntly rejected them. "The emperor is my sister's husband, how dare the courtiers trespass. Yurao said to the emperor, "Besides, the courtiers already have a sweetheart, and they swear to die." ＂
It turned out that long before returning to Beijing, Yurao had already made a lifelong agreement with the emperor's younger brother Yunxi. Although Yunxi is a prince, he is humble and polite, and his sincerity touched Yurao's heart. Yurao swore that she would not marry Yunxi in this life.
The emperor was furious when he heard this, he never expected that a county king would dare to rob him of a woman. The imperial power is supreme, and Yurao dares to refuse him, she really doesn't know what to do!
But Yurao's determination is unshakable. She would rather give up her glory and wealth than keep her promise to Yunxi. The emperor was impressed by Yurao's firmness, and although he was angry, he also had to admire Yurao's courage and integrity.
The emperor had no choice but to retreat and marry Yurao to Yunxi. In the eyes of others, this is the emperor's grace, the brothers of the heavenly family, the marriage of sisters, and the envy of others. Only the emperor himself knows that although he has fulfilled Yurao on the surface, he is unwilling and jealous in his heart.
On the day of Yurao's wedding, the emperor specially gave a precious dowry, and embroidered a flying butterfly on her wedding dress, indicating that the bride is as beautiful and agile as a butterfly. Yurao was dressed in a wedding dress, beautiful and incomprehensible, and the emperor looked at her back, his eyes were complicated and difficult to understand.
On the wedding night, the candles in the cave room were flowered, and a pair of newlyweds were grinding their ears and temples, lingering and compassionate. In another palace, the emperor drank alone in front of the portrait of Yurao. He drank cup after glass, his eyes cloudy. The eunuchs and palace maids standing next to them did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the emperor.
After a long time, the emperor put down his wine glass, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer. He whispered to himself, "Yurao, do you think you can get your wish in this way?" I will let you know that what you can't get is always the best...... ＂
Yurao firmly chose Yunxi
Although Yurao is unmoved by the pursuit of the emperor, she is deeply in love with Yunxi. As early as when Yurao was exiled to Ningguta with her father, Yunxi tried to help the Zhen family. He secretly sent people to send warm clothes and precious medicinal materials, and asked someone to pass a book to Yurao, encouraging her to be strong, and when the day comes, he will take her back to Beijing.
Yurao was grateful for Yunxi's affection and was even more attracted by his personality. Although Yunxi is a prince, he is humble and polite, he cares for Yurao, but he never exceeds the rules. Yunxi is personable, Yushu is in the wind, and Yurao has long recognized in her heart that he is the only lover in her life.
After returning to Beijing, Yunxi took more care of Yurao. He often invited Yurao to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, and the two talked about poetry and painting under the moon before the flowers, which was very comfortable. Once, the palace maid came to report that the emperor had arrived, and Yurao was so frightened that she hurriedly hid aside. Yunxi smiled and took her hand and said to the emperor: "Brother Huang, Yurao is the love of my life Yunxi, I hope that Brother Huang will be fulfilled." ＂
The emperor's face sank when he heard this, and he naturally saw Yunxi's heart for Yurao. But in the end, the emperor thought of the brotherhood, and just said coldly: "If Yurao is willing, I will naturally not force it." He walked away without looking back.
Yurao glanced at Yunxi gratefully, she knew how much risk Yunxi had taken to defend herself in front of the emperor. Yurao secretly swore that in this life, she would fly with Yunxi and never be separated.
Although the emperor agreed to Yunhee's request, he did not give up. He summoned Yurao repeatedly and promised her supreme honor. even gave Yurao a piece of Hetian jade pendant in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military personnel, saying that he wanted to make her a concubine.
Yurao immediately knelt down, lifted the jade pendant above her head, and begged the emperor to take back her fate. "The emperor is my sister's husband, how dare the courtiers trespass. Yurao said firmly, "Besides, the courtier's daughter has been married to Yunxi, and he will not marry in this life." ＂
Annoyed by Yurao's refusal, the emperor threw Yupei to the ground and angrily rebuked, "Who do you think you are?
Yurao was not afraid, she straightened her waist and said: "The courtier is just the daughter of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, although the family is ruined, she is also clean. If the emperor really likes the courtiers, please fulfill the courtiers and Yunxi. ＂
The emperor was shocked by Yurao's courage, and although he was annoyed, he also had to admire Yurao's integrity. He waved his hand helplessly and said, "That's it, you can go." ＂
Yurao thanked her and retreated, she knew that although the emperor let her go, she must have a grudge in her heart. But Yurao does not regret it, she would rather offend the emperor than keep her promise to Yunxi.
Yurao returned to Yunhee's mansion, where Yunxi was already waiting at the door. He hugged Yurao into his arms and said distressedly: "My Rao'er, I have wronged you." ＂
Yurao shook her head and said with a smile: "For you, I am willing to accept any grievances." ＂
The two hugged each other tightly like this, as if there was only each other in this world. They swore that no matter how the emperor obstructed them, they would walk hand in hand through this life and this world and never abandon them.
The emperor set up three checkpoints to hinder Yurao's fertility
Although the emperor finally agreed to allow Yurao to marry Yunxi, the unwillingness and jealousy in his heart became stronger and stronger. He can't stand Yurao's affection and affection by Yunhee's side, and he is even more afraid that Yurao will give birth to an heir for Yunxi and consolidate Yunhee's position in the royal family.
As a result, the emperor secretly set up three checkpoints, intending to hinder Yurao's fertility. The first level is Yurao's exile life when she was young. When the Zhen family suffered, they were beheaded all over the house, and although Yurao survived, she was sent to the cold and desolate Ningguta.
There, Yurao suffered from hunger and cold, and her health deteriorated. The Emperor knew that malnutrition in a woman's infancy and adolescent years was likely to affect her fertility in the future. He secretly rejoiced that Yurao suffered at a young age, and it may be difficult to conceive from now on.
The second level is the jade pendant of the first queen. In order to impress Yurao, the emperor gave Yurao, the relic of the former queen, the jade pendant. This seems to be the emperor's honor, but it is actually an elaborate trap.
It turned out that the cause of the queen's death had always been a mystery, and it was rumored that she was killed by the queen's own sister. This sister is the later step-queen. In order to get rid of her rival, the queen drugged the diet of the first queen, which led to the death of the first queen.
And that piece of jade pendant was also manipulated by the queen step. She had her henchmen and eunuchs soak the jade pendant in poison, intending to make the wearer slowly lose her fertility. The emperor gave this jade pendant to Yurao, hoping that Yurao could be like the first queen, and it would be difficult to give birth.
The third level is the concubine in Yunxi's mansion. According to the royal rules, in addition to the main wife, the king of the county can also accept two side chambers and several concubines. The emperor knew that Yurao was strong by nature, and he couldn't tolerate other women around him.
So, the emperor secretly instructed Yunxi to take concubines according to the rules, which was called "spreading branches and leaves". Although Yunxi was unwilling, she did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so she had to reluctantly agree. There were suddenly a few more beautiful women in the house, and Yurao was naturally resentful.
She was frowning all day, sleepless at night, and gradually emaciated. Yunxi was distressed, but helpless. The emperor saw it in his eyes and was secretly proud, he knew that if there was a dislike between husband and wife, it would be more difficult to have a chance of intimacy, and the possibility of Yurao being conceived would be even smaller.
In addition to these three levels, the emperor also came up with other intrigues. He sent his henchman to prescribe medicine to Yurao, saying that it was to regulate her body, but in fact, he was doing tricks and feet in the medicine, intending to damage Yurao's fertility.
The emperor also instructed the palace maid to add certain medicinal herbs to Yurao's diet, claiming that it was to make Yurao's face last forever, but in fact, he was slowly poisoning Yurao's body.
The emperor even spread rumors that Yurao was suffering from a hidden disease and was afraid that it would be difficult to conceive, intending to sow discord and make Yunxi dislike Yurao.
The emperor used all means just to prevent Yurao from giving birth to Yunxi's flesh and blood. He knew that once Yurao gave birth to an heir for Yunxi, Yunxi's position in the royal family would be more stable, and it would be even more difficult for him to deal with Yunxi.
Although Yurao didn't know about the emperor's intrigues, she faintly sensed something abnormal. Her body was getting worse day by day, she was always feeling tired and tired, and her menstrual affairs were gradually disordered.
Yunxi was distressed, and he invited a famous doctor to treat Yurao, but he could not find the cause. Yurao comforted Yunxi and said that maybe it was because of the cold when she was exiled to Ningguta, and her body bones have not been raised.
Yunxi will be skeptical, but there is nothing to be done. He can only take care of Yurao more carefully, hoping that her body can slowly improve.
The emperor's abacus failed, and Yurao and Yunxi were happy
The emperor tried his best to set up three levels, but in the end, he couldn't stop Yurao and Yunxi's happiness. Although Yurao's body was damaged by the emperor's intrigues, she did not completely lose her fertility.
Under Yunxi's careful care, Yurao's health gradually improved. She began to take some expensive tonics, and worked and rested on time, and slowly, her face became rosy, and her body gradually plumped.
Finally, one day, Yurao found out that she was pregnant. She was overjoyed and hurriedly told Yunxi the good news. Yunxi rushed to hear the news and hugged Yurao tightly, and the two cried with joy.
When the emperor learned the news of Yurao's pregnancy, he was furious. He didn't expect his abacus to fail, Yurao not only did not lose her fertility as he wished, but became pregnant with Yunxi's flesh and blood.
The emperor had a plan, he pretended to summon Yurao, saying that he would give her some precious supplements to replenish her body and the child in her womb. Yurao was grateful and thanked her again and again.
I don't know that the so-called supplements given to Yurao by the emperor are actually some drugs that can cause miscarriage. The emperor thought insidiously that since Yurao was pregnant, it would be better to let her have a miscarriage, so that Yunxi would not have an heir, and he would not have to worry about it.
However, Yurao did not have a miscarriage as the emperor had hoped. Although her body is weak, the child in her womb is very healthy. Yurao carefully cared for the baby in her belly, took medicine on time, and paid attention to rest.
In the blink of an eye, the October pregnancy is full, and Yurao is about to give birth. Yunxi had already instructed his subordinates to prepare everything for the delivery, and he stayed by Yurao's side every step of the way, for fear of a mistake.
One night, Yurao finally gave birth to a chubby little princess. Yunxi was ecstatic and hugged her daughter and couldn't put it down. Although Yurao is weak, her heart is also full of happiness when she sees her husband and daughter.
When the emperor heard the news, he wanted to see Yurao have a difficult birth or give birth to a sick child, but he didn't know that she was a healthy little princess. The emperor was shocked and angry, but he was helpless.
Yurao and Yunxi named their daughter "Mingzhu", which means that she is the pearl of their parents' palms and the treasure given to them by God. Princess Mingzhu thrives under the care of her parents, and Yurao gradually recovers her health.
Although Yurao and Yunxi only have one child, Mingzhu, their lives are very happy. Yunxi takes good care of Yurao, the husband and wife are affectionate, and the love is as deep as the sea.
In order to consolidate the power of King Shenjun, Yurao and Yunxi also adopted Won-cheol, the son of Yunxi's brother Guojunwang, as their stepson. Although Yuan Che is not his own child, Yurao and Yunxi regard them as their own and raise them carefully.
Yuan Che is also very filial, he regards Yurao as his mother, and he also loves Mingzhu. The family of four was so happy that even the emperor had to secretly envy it.
Although the emperor failed to get Yurao, he could only retreat gloomily when he saw that she and Yunxi were in love. He knew that although he was noble, he would never be able to get the sincerity of Yurao.
Time flies. Yurao and Yunxi have gone through decades of ups and downs hand in hand. Their love withstood the test of imperial power and eventually blossomed.
Until the twilight of her life, Yurao and Yunxi were still inseparable. They often walk hand in hand in the garden, reminiscing about their youth.
Yurao said with emotion: "In this life, the luckiest thing for me is to meet you. ＂
Yunxi clenched Yurao's hand and said with a smile: "In this life, my most correct decision is to marry you." ＂
end
The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of tenderness and sweetness. They know that in this life, they are the best destination for each other, the most beautiful encounter.
