Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Empress Pei Man, with her clothes slightly disheveled and tears of reluctance and anger flashing in her eyes, kneeled on the ground, her eyes closely following the back figure that was gradually moving away. She was gently hugging Empress Qinren Tangkuo Huier and walking into the depths of the palace.

This scene, like a sharp blade, cut through Pei Man's heart fiercely, and every trace was full of humiliation and resentment.

In this magnificent palace, thousands of eyes witnessed this embarrassing and humiliating scene.

She, the noble queen of the Jin Kingdom, was like a clown, and was publicly humiliated by Jiang Hongfei.

Who made her Jiang Hongfei's woman now? Jiang Hongfei's treatment of her like this would make her lose face, but she could also package it as a manifestation of Jiang Hongfei's love for her.

So, she tried her best to please Jiang Hongfei, with a humble attitude, and even gave up her dignity as a queen.

But her humble flattery was nothing more than a plaything-like performance in Jiang Hongfei's eyes, and it was worthless.

The key point is that she put down her queen's airs in front of everyone, like a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy, using all her coquettishness and charm, just to get a little attention from Jiang Hongfei. However, when her performance ended, what she got in return was Jiang Hongfei's indifferent back hugging another woman.

Pei Man's heart seemed to be completely frozen by ice at this moment, and even breathing seemed heavy and difficult.

She slowly closed her eyes, letting the tears meander on her cheeks, but stubbornly refused to let it fall, as if this silent struggle was her only remaining dignity.

The hustle and bustle around her were all nothingness to her, only the pain that penetrated into her bones was clear and real.

She knew very well that every bit of her humility was like drinking poison to quench thirst, not only could it not win back Jiang Hongfei's heart, but it made him despise her even more.

But in this vortex of power, how could she easily get out?

The position of the queen in the past was both a glory and a shackle, binding her firmly in this endless despair.

At this moment, she seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking, crisp and resolute.

Pei Man knew that all of this was deliberately done by Jiang Hongfei.

Jiang Hongfei was announcing to everyone present in this way: She, Empress Daoping, was just one of my many playthings, Jiang Hongfei, who could be discarded and replaced at any time.

Her anger and unwillingness were just useless struggles in Jiang Hongfei's eyes, which would only make Jiang Hongfei look down on her even more and would not give her another chance.

Recalling when she first entered the harem, the elders of the Pei Man clan had earnestly warned her not to try to play tricks in front of Jiang Hongfei. Jiang Hongfei was not a puppet Wanyan Tan, but the strongest man and the greatest emperor in the world. No one could influence Jiang Hongfei, let alone control Jiang Hongfei.

But at that time, she was young and vigorous, thinking that she could gain a foothold in the harem with her beauty and wisdom. Now it seems that those advices are like morning bells and evening drums, deafening, but it is too late to save them.

She began to reflect on where she lost?

In terms of intelligence, she is not inferior to anyone;

In terms of beauty, she is also the best in the harem.

But why did she eventually become Jiang Hongfei's plaything?

The answer gradually became clear: she lost in her blind pursuit of power and her confidence in Jiang Hongfei's invincibility.

She saw those women who once dominated the world, such as Xiao Puxiannu and Yelu Nanxian, who now all kneeled at Jiang Hongfei's feet and gave birth to children for him without any complaints.

The reason why they were able to save themselves was that they recognized the reality early and chose to surrender.

But she tried to challenge this reality, and the result was only bruises all over her body.

At this moment, Pei Manshi's heart was full of bitterness and self-mockery.

She finally understood that she was the biggest clown. In front of Jiang Hongfei, all her struggles and resistance seemed so powerless and ridiculous.

She secretly swore that if Jiang Hongfei was willing to give her another chance, she would definitely learn to surrender and learn how to be a woman that satisfied him.

However, she knew that such an opportunity might never come again.

Jiang Hongfei had proved his coldness and ruthlessness with his actions. All women could only revolve around him as the sun forever, and all women could only kneel and lick him.

And she, Empress Pei Manshi of Daoping, could only silently bear the bitter fruit she had planted in the dust of the harem.

After thinking through all this, Empress Pei Manshi of Daoping secretly swore that if Jiang Hongfei was willing to give her another chance, she would honestly kneel in front of Jiang Hongfei and let Jiang Hongfei play with her, willingly...

...

The next morning, the sky was dawning.

Jiang Hongfei had already stood up, as usual, diligent and orderly.

Although he had spent a very lingering time with Queen Qinren Tangkuo Huier the night before, almost exhausting the queen, she still resisted her tiredness in the morning light and gently accompanied Jiang Hongfei, helping him change his clothes and wash up with a group of female officials and palace maids.

The morning light shone through the carved wooden windows and sprinkled into the ancient palace, adding a bit of warmth and tenderness to this solemn place.

Jiang Hongfei, wearing a brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns, stood in front of the bronze mirror. The man in the mirror was heroic, with both the majesty of the emperor and the tenderness and affection for the beauty beside him.

Tangkuo Huier gently held the jade comb and combed Jiang Hongfei's hair carefully, tenderly.

Jiang Hongfei enjoyed the service, with a playful smile on his lips, and whispered to Tang Kuo Hui'er: "The Queen Mother is so unfamiliar, I need to hone her more."

Tang Kuo Hui'er knew that Jiang Hongfei was not talking about her performance in combing her hair, but her poor performance in bed last night.

Tang Kuo Hui'er felt mixed emotions when she heard this. How could she know so many amorous feelings, but she remained dignified on the face, and explained shyly: "When I first married Wu Qimai, I was only sixteen years old, and he was almost fifty years old. He said that I was young and should not get involved in this. In addition, the state affairs were busy, and we had very few times together, and they always ended in a hurry. When he ascended the throne and became emperor, he lived in separate rooms. I really know very little about this, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Jiang Hongfei understood it in his heart when he heard this.

In this world, fifty years old is considered a long life, and the body functions are naturally not as good as before.

Moreover, during Wuqimai's reign, the Jin Dynasty was expanding, and internal and external troubles continued. He had to stabilize his regime and resist foreign enemies. His physical and mental fatigue can be imagined.

When Queen Qinren Tangkuo Huier married Wanyan Wuqimai, it was the critical moment of the decisive battle between the Jin Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty.

Although Wanyan Wuqimai did not personally put on armor and go into battle at that time, he was the mainstay of stabilizing the rear of the Jin Dynasty and dealing with internal and external troubles.

In those years, the Liao people rebelled frequently in the territory of the Jin Dynasty, and the grassland tribes were also eyeing them covetously. In addition, there was a shortage of talents, and every bit of power had to be dispatched by him personally. His physical and mental fatigue can be imagined.

When Wanyan Wuqimai ascended the throne, the challenges he faced were even more arduous.

Internally, he had to fight the nobles and strengthen centralization;

Externally, he had to deal with the rising Yuan Empire. The pressure was imaginable.

Under this double pressure, he devoted almost all his energy to state affairs. How could he have time for love?

Historically, after the Jingkang Incident, Zhao Duofu, the princess of Roufu, who was supposed to become Wanyan Wuqimai's concubine, had a tragic fate. She was bullied by Jin generals on the way to capture. Although she finally arrived in Shangjing, she only received Wanyan Wuqimai's short-term favor and was then demoted to the laundry house for her ugly appearance.

However, the truth may be more complicated.

At that time, Wanyan Wuqimai, who was over fifty years old, may have been unable to do his best. His indifference to Zhao Duofu was actually due to physical and mental fatigue.

What is more thought-provoking is that during Wanyan Wuqimai's reign, there were few records of his favorite concubines except for Queen Qinren Tangkuo Huier.

Those nameless concubines in history books are more like empty positions set up for the face of the royal family.

——Now all these concubines that Wanyan Wuqimai has never enjoyed have been taken advantage of by Jiang Hongfei.

And Tangkuo Huier, as the queen of Wanyan Wuqimai, is the master of the six palaces. Who dares to touch her except Wanyan Wuqimai? So they were unable to enjoy the ordinary happiness of a couple.

Jiang Hongfei suddenly realized that this young Queen Mother of the Kingdom of Jin was almost brand new, so she was like a piece of wood last night, only knowing how to cooperate but not knowing how to do it, because she was shy because she had never experienced human affairs.

Jiang Hongfei embraced Tang Kuo Huier in his arms, kissed her still youthful face affectionately, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Wu Qimai can't give you, I will give it to you."

Jiang Hongfei's mood was truly unprecedentedly happy.

The source of this joy was simple and pure - he completely subverted Wanyan Wuqimai's world in an almost playful way, not only wearing an unspeakable green hat on him, but also helping him to "deeply develop" the queen, which made him applaud and relieved his hatred!

At this point, anyone with a discerning eye could see Jiang Hongfei's hidden hatred for Wanyan Wuqimai, which was a kind of deep-seated and indescribable disgust.

Looking back at the long river of history, the shadow of the Jingkang Shame still makes people palpitate, and Wanyan Wuqimai was one of the indispensable promoters of this national disaster.

Based on the "first north and then south" strategy laid by Wanyan Aguda, the Jin Dynasty could have moved forward steadily, but Wanyan Wuqimai's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits made everything deviate from the track.

Wanyan Wuqimai was eager to consolidate his position, so he did not hesitate to target the Zhao Song Dynasty, which seemed powerful but was actually exhausted. A catastrophe that could have been avoided began.

The original intention of the Jin army to go south may have been just to plunder some property and population to enrich the national strength, but the weakness and incompetence of the Zhao Song Dynasty gradually intensified the greed and ambition of the Jin people.

Imagine if Wanyan Aguda could live longer, the Jin Dynasty might choose a more cautious path after destroying the Liao Dynasty, rather than directly challenging the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Wanyan Wuqimai's decision pushed the Jin Dynasty into the abyss of war and made the Jingkang Shame an indelible shame.

However, fate always seems to like to play jokes. Although Wanyan Wuqimai was one of the initiators of the Jingkang Shame, he did not witness his own end.

He died too suddenly, and Jiang Hongfei did not wait for him to settle all the grievances.

What made Jiang Hongfei even more uneasy was that Wanyan Wuqimai's funeral was quite grand, which was undoubtedly a great irony.

The key point is that even if Jiang Hongfei is a cheater, he can't find a dead person to take revenge.

However, fate is always fair.

Shortly after Wanyan Wuqimai's death, a fire set by the Khitans not only burned down the imperial tombs of the Jin Dynasty, but also made the gold, silver and jewelry buried with the dead see the light of day again, and finally fell into the hands of Jiang Hongfei.

The corpses of the royal family and clan of the Jin Dynasty were humiliated and trampled unprecedentedly, and later they were crushed to ashes by the Khitans.

Wanyan Wuqimai's body was also dug out and whipped by the Khitans.

After learning about this, Jiang Hongfei ordered the reconstruction of the tombs of the Jin people before Wanyan Aguda, praising their resistance to the oppression of the Khitans, their sacrifice of their lives and their establishment of their own country; but he chose to be indifferent and ignore the Jin people after Wanyan Wuqimai, in order to deny the aggressive behavior of the Jin people after Wanyan Aguda's death.

However, although Wanyan Wuqimai was exhumed and whipped by the Khitans, and his bones were crushed and scattered by the Khitans, Jiang Hongfei still did not get rid of his hatred.

Now, after having cheated on Wanyan Wuqimai and helping him develop his queen, Queen Qinren Tangkuo Huier, Jiang Hongfei felt comfortable.

Queen Qinren Tangkuo Huier, the 34-year-old queen, although not as youthful as Queen Daoping Pei Manshi, has her own mature charm. Her intellectuality, sexiness and calmness made Jiang Hongfei feel unprecedented comfort and peace of mind.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei handed over the management of the Golden Palace to Tangkuo Huier, asking her to help him manage the Golden Palace and arrange his sleeping affairs in the Golden Palace.

Tangkuo Huier, the former queen of the Jin Kingdom, is now more respected as the queen mother. Her majesty is on par with that of Pei Manshi, the Queen of Daoping, and even surpasses her.

As for family background, the Tangkuo clan and the Pei Manshi clan are both prominent families in the Jin Kingdom, and they are hard to tell apart.

So, Jiang Hongfei personally appointed Tangkuo Huier as the master of the new Golden Palace. For a time, everyone inside and outside the Golden Palace respected and feared her.

Pei Manshi, who was about to unify the Golden Palace in the past, was eclipsed in a blink of an eye and was replaced by Tangkuo Huier.

After Tangkuo Huier came to power, her style of doing things was very different from Pei Manshi. She abandoned publicity and luxury, and instead governed the palace with low-key wisdom. She had a keen eye for talent and promoted a group of talented female officials of the Jin Dynasty to share government affairs. She focused on treating Empress Gao Liang with courtesy and visited Jiang Hongfei's concubines one by one, treating them with sincerity, consolidating her position. At the same time, she showed Jiang Hongfei her intelligence and overall perspective, making her more favored by Jiang Hongfei.

Brief section.

Under Tang Kuo Hui'er's careful governance, the Jin Palace gradually glowed with unprecedented vitality and harmony. She not only won the respect of the palace people with her motherly demeanor, but also balanced the complex power relations in the palace with her outstanding political skills.

It is worth mentioning that when Empress Qinren Tang Kuo Hui'er first took charge of the Jin Palace, she was very creative and wise in selecting candidates for Jiang Hongfei's bed.

It can be said that these three beauties are both reasonable and unexpected...
