Su Yingxue followed behind Ye Minghao and saluted, a pair of eyes quietly aimed at the Nanhuang Ye Confucian Wen who got off the gorgeous chariot, this Nanhuang turned out to be a cowardly man, although he was not young, but he did not look old, wearing a dragon robe, there was no general emperor's gloomy and domineering, but there was a bookish cowardice, with clear facial features and clear eyebrows, after getting off the luxury chariot, the corners of his lips were holding a slight smile, "Emperors, get up." ”

"Thank you, Father."

After finishing speaking, a few soft sedan chairs were carried on the side, and as soon as the sedan chair stopped, there was a eunuch's report sounding, "Concubine Liu Niangniang arrived, such as Concubine Niangniang, Jade Concubine Niangniang arrived, Princess Butterfly Dance arrived, Princess Luoyang arrived." ”

Soon, a group of people with flowers came over, and as soon as they came over, they saluted the Southern Emperor, "The concubines and others have seen the emperor." ”

Su Yingxue didn't take a closer look at these people, anyway, as long as they don't have anything to do with them, everyone should be fine, just as Su Yingxue was distracted, Nanhuang slowly asked Ye Minghao: "Hao'er, is this the crown princess?" ”

Ye Minghao immediately took Su Yingxue's hand and stepped forward to report: "Yes, father, this is Xue'er, Xue'er, I've seen my father soon." ”

Su Yingxue hurriedly lowered her head and said gently: "Xue'er has seen her father, I wish my father Wanhai." ”

"Get up."

Then the Southern Emperor did not speak again, but directly led everyone to the Taimiao, sacrificing the ancestors, and waited until everyone was arranged according to the class, only to find an important thing, Queen Wu did not appear, because everyone was attracted by the princess, so forget about this matter, this will enter the Taimiao, everyone found that the queen did not come.

In fact, Su Yingxue had already found out, but she didn't say it.

Nanhuang's face darkened, and he looked at the eunuch waiting for him on the side: "Gao Yuan, why hasn't the queen come here yet?" Send someone to ask? ”

Gao Yuan was the eunuch who was waiting for him next to the Southern Emperor, and when he heard the emperor's slightly cold voice, he hurriedly rushed out of the order to inquire, and soon rushed in again, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the queen mother just sent a eunuch to report that she was unwell and couldn't come over." ”

As soon as these words came out, Nanhuang and Ye Minghao's faces were cold, especially Ye Minghao's face was not to mention how ugly it was, when he entered the palace in the morning, he also saw that the queen mother was very healthy, and this time the child was uncomfortable, obviously looking for an excuse to embarrass them, she didn't want to give Xue'er the phoenix seal.

After Gao Yuan's report, the Southern Emperor frowned a little, didn't speak for a long time, and then ordered Gao Yuan: "Take two imperial doctors to see why the queen is unwell, and tell the queen for me, if the queen really can't come, then let the queen rest assured, and I will let Concubine Liu temporarily grant the princess the phoenix seal on behalf of the queen." ”

In the temple, everyone listened to the emperor's words, they were a little shocked, in fact, today's sacrifice to the temple, although there is a phoenix seal, but the phoenix seal is not the first priority, first sacrifice to the temple, and then the phoenix seal in the future is the same, the emperor has never confronted the queen head-on, this time for the princess, directly with the queen.

As soon as the emperor said this, the queen was really sick, and she was afraid that she would insist on coming, because what she hated the most was Concubine Liu, how could she give this opportunity to Concubine Liu?

In the Taimiao, everyone guessed in their hearts, I don't know why the emperor would think highly of the crown princess, but if you look at it carefully, there is nothing wrong, is it because the emperor likes the princess?

Ye Minghao was naturally very happy, but Su Yingxue was a little surprised, it seems that this Southern Emperor is not as gentle as he seems, he is very methodical, and he restrained the queen with a simple sentence.

After a short effort, outside the gate of the Taimiao, the eunuch's cry sounded: "The queen has arrived." ”

It came so fast, many people sighed in their hearts, there is no doubt that the queen pretended to be sick, she clearly did not want to give the phoenix seal to the crown princess, and now the situation has to appear, with the eunuch report, the courtiers and princes hurriedly greeted it.

"The sons (ministers) have seen the queen mother (the queen)."

Outside the door, a mighty group of people walked in, everyone didn't raise their heads to hear the sound of clothes in their ears, the temple was filled with a rich fragrance, and a low and sharp mezzo-middle voice said: "Flat." Just by listening to this voice, you can know how powerful this Martial Empress is.

After Empress Wu took her seat, she didn't even glance at Su Yingxue, so she went straight to the topic, "Let's start." ”

Next is the ceremonial officer's speech, to comfort the ancestors in the spirit of the sky, in the long speech, everyone bowed their heads to listen to the reading, not only them, even the emperor did not dare to be careless, respectfully bowed his head and stand, after a pillar of incense, the long speech was read out, the ceremonial officer presided over the emperor and queen to comfort the ancestors, and then there was a long speech.

After the speech, it was the emperor and the queen who worshiped their ancestors, and then the prince and the princess worshiped their ancestors, and after worshipping their ancestors, the emperor warned them and his wife, to the effect that from now on they should share weal and woe, and be in the same boat through thick and thin.

After the temple is awarded the princess phoenix seal, everyone is lined up on both sides of the temple, the queen in front of the ancestors and ancestors to give the princess phoenix seal, she is serious into the royal genealogy, become the royal daughter-in-law.

Empress Wu, who was in the middle position, squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Su Yingxue who was kneeling on the ground, but in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as in front of the princes and princesses of the royal family, she just had the intention to make things difficult for Su Yingxue, and she didn't want to let herself give someone a handle, so Queen Wu decided to let Su Yingxue go for the time being this time, and said in a deep voice: "Su Yingxue, as the princess of the southern kingdom, you must behave in accordance with etiquette, you are a model of a woman in the southern country, you must not act recklessly, filial piety to the elders, and the younger ones, but also to appease the people inside and outside the prince's mansion." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Fetch the phoenix seal."

"Yes, Queen."

The female official quickly took the phoenix seal from the temple and presented it to the queen's hands, Queen Wu looked at the phoenix seal in her hand, in fact, this phoenix seal is not big, but it has a lot of power, since then it represents the identity of the princess of the southern country, second only to the emperor and the queen, even the princes dare not offend her at will.

Originally, she thought that this phoenix seal belonged to Chu Yilan, that girl had been well conditioned by her, and she would definitely obey her orders in the future, so in the future, she would not call for wind and rain, and she would not be controlled by others, but she didn't expect that she would be such a woman now.

"Su Yingxue, take the print."

Empress Wu handed over the phoenix seal to Su Yingxue's hands, and Su Yingxue smiled and thanked her: "Sons thank the father and the queen mother for their grace." ”

"Get up."

Seeing that the phoenix seal had been handed over, the Southern Emperor said in a deep voice, "Go back to the palace." He glanced at Ye Minghao and Su Yingxue, and then left the Taimiao.

After that, the queen also left, without saying anything, just glanced at Su Yingxue when she left, and everyone saw the queen leaving, and hurriedly sent the queen away, and then the princes and ministers of the court greeted each other and left.

Ye Minghao led Su Yingxue to the door, Ye Butterfly Dance followed behind Su Yingxue all the time, the corners of her lips were hooked as if she was smiling, and she didn't say anything from beginning to end, in front of the imperial brother, she didn't dare to talk nonsense.

But when Ye Minghao was about to get into the carriage, Night Butterfly begged Ye Minghao: "Brother Huang, can I go to the Prince's Mansion to have fun?" ”

Ye Minghao's face was not good, what happened in the prince's mansion and the palace today made him very unhappy, so he didn't bother to greet Ye Butterfly Dance at all, so he said coldly with a handsome face: "No, go back to your own palace." ”

Night Butterfly looked at Su Yingxue with an aggrieved face, hoping that she could help her say good things, Su Yingxue thought about it, no matter what, these two people are always brothers and sisters, and she also noticed just now that Night Butterfly Dance seems to be very afraid of Queen Wu, presumably going back with them now, just to have fun, so she opened her mouth to look at Ye Minghao: "Minghao, let Butterfly Dance go with us, or chat with me." ”

Since Xue'er said this, Ye Minghao couldn't say anything, so he said angrily: "Don't get in the car yet." ”

Night Butterfly Dance heard that the imperial brother agreed, and looked at Su Yingxue with a smile on her face and made a grimace, "Xie Lu Xie Huang Sister-in-law" is very cute, it seems that this Night Butterfly Dance is also a very good person to get along with.

In the blink of an eye, she climbed into the carriage of the prince's mansion, Ye Minghao's face was speechless, but Xue'er agreed, so he didn't say anything, and ordered the guards in front of him: "Go out of the palace." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The guards received the order, drove out of the palace, and went all the way out of the palace, and when they arrived at the gate of the inner palace, several guards from the prince's mansion were standing outside the door, and followed their carriage all the way out.

As soon as he walked not far, Ye Minghao left in advance, so he instructed Du Ming to send the princess back to the prince's mansion safely.

As soon as Ye Minghao left, Night Butterfly Dance was happy, saving the imperial brother from being uneasy to let her sit there, and then she immediately jumped to Su Yingxue's side, her eyes were confused, "Imperial sister-in-law, it turns out that you are so good-looking, no wonder my imperial brother is so obsessed with you, even I am almost fascinated by you." ”

Su Yingxue was amused by her words, "Your mouth is like smeared with honey, it's too sweet!" ”

"What, what I said is true, I never talk to praise people, and now you are also my imperial sister-in-law, how about the two of us love each other?"

Su Yingxue was stunned: "Is there anything wrong between us?" ”

"Imperial sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you are not good enough for me, on the contrary, I like you more and more now, I find that you don't care about hatred, I like this very much."

Su Yingxue was stunned, "So, I forgot, you used to treat me badly, and now I have to slowly come back, you have to be careful." ”

Night Butterfly Dance didn't care, she wasn't afraid at all, she knew that the imperial sister-in-law said this on purpose, but in the next second, her expression began to be pessimistic again.

Su Yingxue didn't understand what was going on, how to say that her face changed when she changed her face, and hurriedly asked, "Butterfly Dance, what's wrong with you?" ”
