Chapter 487 Light and Darkness 37 The Queen of Glass

Song Lizhi could not bear the pressure, and finally married the wife chosen by his mother Song Lanzhu as queen at the age of twenty.

He resisted the pressure from court officials, did not take a concubine, kept his father's teachings in mind, and followed the Zhang family rules.

Taking a concubine is a manifestation of being unable to control one's desires, and is also the root cause of family chaos.

Although my mother and Aunt Xie Hanmei married the same man, they shouldered the responsibilities of two different wives. They rarely interacted with each other and were often in conflict with each other.

If he had not been gifted and intelligent and had not been raised by his father since he was six years old, he would probably have been influenced by his mother and hated his eldest and fifth brothers.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, he was busy with his career and step by step completed the grand blueprint for national development left to him by his father, so he was not keen on matters between men and women.

Besides, in order to avoid conflicts in the lives of the three wives, my father calculated the dates. After each wife gave birth to two children, she would no longer have sex with anyone else and lived a celibate life for half her life.

The queen is a noble lady from an aristocratic family. She is a model of etiquette and rules. Everything about her is good except her lack of humanity.

But what Song Jinzhi couldn't stand the most was that she always showed off her noble status in order to demonstrate her family background.

Ever since the queen took charge of the harem, she has been spending money everywhere in order to highlight her family's status. Her own small private treasury has almost been squandered by her prodigal daughter-in-law.

Song Lizhi has a hidden miser attribute. After becoming the emperor, he can't let others find out his secret! So he can only bear the pain and give money to the queen!

What bothered her most was that the Queen held at least one palace banquet every month, spending a huge amount of money. The unmarried ladies who attended the banquets kept coming to her side! When the Queen saw that Li Zhi refused to throw herself into her arms, she showed off her favor to her former friend. Her vanity was too strong.

One day, the new emperor went out on a private visit to the refugees and heard the women talking about how as long as the bride became pregnant, she could stay at home peacefully and not have to entertain guests everywhere.

So, the petty emperor made the queen pregnant as soon as possible.

But the queen became even more restless after she became pregnant. She used to have three meals a day at most, with thirty-six dishes in each meal. Now she has countless meals a day. She only touches the prepared food once or twice and then takes it away. She also doesn't let the servants eat it.

The queen, who came from a noble family, had a deep-rooted class consciousness. She would not allow others to touch her belongings, including the food she had thrown away. She was domineering and cold-hearted in nature.

After finally getting through the three-month pregnancy, the queen, with her unnoticeable belly, hosted a lavish banquet for ladies from outside the royal family to show off her status and favor. She even took advantage of her pregnancy to keep her cousin by her side and bullied and insulted her cousin from the same clan.

This happened repeatedly. The cousin who was left in the palace and was bullied could not bear the humiliation anymore. Before ending her own life with a hairpin, she strangled to death her cousin who had been at odds with her since childhood.

Murdering the queen is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family. Song Lizhi summoned the queen's mother's family to the palace overnight to punish them.

After all, the queen is pregnant with the emperor's heir.

The crime of murdering the queen shocked the court and the public. The three judges held a joint trial, and with in-depth investigation, the truth soon came to light.

As a top-tier family on par with the Xu, Xie, and Wang families, the Cui family's legitimate daughters are not educated to be concubines.

But it’s different for the royal family, because that is the most honorable throne of the queen.

Song Lizhi was not interested in women. Although Song Lanzhu was an orphan of the previous dynasty, she grew up in the countryside and had little knowledge. She was tortured until she was eighteen years old before she married Zhang Xiaozhi.

The poor man suddenly became rich, and found out that his life had been occupied by Xie Hanmei for eighteen years. His character, which was originally tough and bright, became extreme after he could not adapt to the class gap.

It was fine when Zhang Xiaozhi was around, after all, the idea of ​​regarding husband as the most important thing in life was deeply rooted in her mind. Besides, Zhang Xiaozhi was gentle, elegant, handsome, and extraordinary. To the country girl Song Lanzhu, he was like the bright moon in the sky.

Song Lanzhu could only carefully put away her inferiority complex and work hard to be a wife worthy of her husband.

Once her son became emperor, she was the only empress dowager in the harem. Before her husband died, she made clear arrangements for all his descendants.

Only this most noble youngest son of the emperor was taught by his husband how to govern the country, both civil and military, but he did not point out a marriage partner for him.

Song Lanzhu believed that the more distinguished the family, the better the daughter. She wanted to find the best for her son, so she chose the current queen from among the noble ladies of the top families.

Empress Cui came from the century-old Changhe Cui family. She was dignified, elegant, and talented in literature, and was sure to be able to get along well with her son.

However, the eldest daughter and cousin of the Cui family belong to two different rooms. The cousin is cute and lovely and is loved by the elders in the family. She is extremely intelligent and her talent is far superior to that of her cousin. The conflict between the two has existed since childhood, but it was just a play between sisters and no one cared. The cousin has always been slightly better than the cousin since childhood until Cui was crowned as queen.

After ascending the throne, the queen actually took her cousin into the palace to humiliate her during her pregnancy on the pretext of missing her family.

And her cousin is not a pushover either. The new emperor Song Lizhi is handsome and elegant, gentle to others, and born with an ethereal aura. He is simply her dream lover.

When the queen discovered her cousin's thoughts, she tortured, insulted and suppressed her.

The conflict between the two sides escalated, and finally led to the cousin strangling the queen to death. The reason was that Queen Cui actually arranged for the cousin to marry the youngest son of the Wang family who was a playboy and abusive.

This cousin heard from people in the palace that their handsome and incomparable Majesty liked lively and pretty girls, and only had feelings for the current queen out of respect.

It has been almost a year since we got married, and the number of times we have had sex can be counted on one hand.

During the time when Xiao Cui entered the palace, the emperor would go to the queen's palace every few days at noon. His intention was not to visit the queen, but to get the upper hand over the water.

Originally, Xiao Cui had been resentful about her sister becoming the queen. Now that she heard that the emperor liked her more, she was happy and eager to try.

Among the maids around her, only one personal servant was brought from home, and the rest were spies sent by the queen.

Xiao Cui managed to meet the emperor twice by chance, but the emperor did not react much. However, the empress was furious and wrote an imperial decree to grant her cousin a marriage, marrying her cousin to the playboy of the Wang family.

However, the imperial edict was discovered by her cousin, and because of the difference in status, she had no room to resist, so she died together with the queen.

All kinds of evidence were presented before the eyes. After all, the Cui family had no way of educating their daughters. The two daughters fought with each other and harmed the royal heir. In the end, the Cui family gave away most of their property to settle the matter.

After seven years, the road construction presided over by Zhu Wanwan was finally completed. Emperor Yuan made a private visit to inspect the road.

At the same time, the Queen Mother in the palace received a yellowed piece of paper, which was left by Qiuqiu. The words on it could only be seen when exposed to water.

This is not really Qiuqiu's bad taste, but Song Lanzhu's personality is a bit extreme.

If I leave her a direct message, she'll feel uncomfortable following it. But if I leave her a blank divine book with the words "It's fate that has given me this," a golden trick for the crucial moment, she'll definitely believe it.

The Queen Mother heard the report that the Emperor had been assassinated while away and was missing. In her panic, she knocked over the teacup, soaking the wordless book.

The words on the book slowly appeared: Li is destined to have this disaster, but will face good fortune in the face of adversity and will be married. The wife will bring wealth, benefit children, and bring prosperity to the husband.

At the same time, when Song Lizhi was in the most dangerous moment, Song Lanzhu happened to see the prophecy left by her late husband. Song Lanzhu burst into tears, as if the knot in her heart that had been there for many years had finally been untied.

Zhang Xiaozhi arranged a way out for everyone, and even sacrificed his life so that his son could ascend to the throne.

Thinking of this, what else could she be dissatisfied with? What was there to fight for? It was all fate. A life that was changed wasn't that hard to accept! And the rest of her noble life was earned by her husband's sacrifice.

He notified his youngest daughter and son-in-law to secretly look for the emperor, and asked someone to notify Zhang Langzhi to stabilize the court. Zhang Xianzhi was also looking for Song Lizhi in the martial arts world.

Song Lizhi was robbed and killed by an assassin. After escaping, he was left without any guards. He changed his name to Zhang Li and fell into the hands of the robbers by mistake. He was imprisoned with a girl.

Robber 1: "Ms. Shen, I advise you to write a letter to your family asking for help. We only want money, not your life. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."

Miss Shen asked with a trembling voice, somewhat frightened, "How much ransom do you want?"

Robber three stretched out a finger and shook it in front of her.

Miss Shen breathed a sigh of relief: "One tael of silver, not bad."

The second robber slammed the table and said, "How dare you play tricks on us? It seems that if you don't suffer a little, you don't know what you are in."

Miss Shen stretched out ten fingers, but was frightened back by the robber's knife.

Xiuo was stunned and asked in disbelief: "You actually want one hundred taels of silver. It's absolutely impossible. You might as well kill me." His attitude of valuing money over life was even worse than Lizhi's.
