Chapter 164: The Battle of the Queens

Zhong Lichun looked at the Empress Dowager's eyes, knowing that she had been pressed down by herself, so he smiled slightly, collected her momentum, stepped forward, and saluted respectfully, "The concubine sees the Empress Dowager." "The etiquette is well-behaved, there is no mistake, and I can't find fault with it.

The Empress Dowager was puzzled, how could a woman in the rivers and lakes be so familiar with the etiquette of the palace, as if she had lived in the harem for a long time. So he smiled slightly, and slowly said: "Tomorrow is the ceremony after the sealing, the mourning family is afraid that you are not familiar with the etiquette in the palace, and I am afraid that you will be gossiped about when the time comes, I wanted to tell you about the etiquette rules in the palace, but now it seems that I don't need to, I must have told you before." Just now I saw that you are also a rule, so you don't have to learn it. Now let's talk about how to be a good master of the first palace, the most important point is that you should be broad-minded, not jealous, you should think about the emperor, and live peacefully with the sisters of the palace. For the royal branch, extend the heirs, in order to protect the great cause of the country for thousands of years. ”

Zhong Lichun flicked his dress, stood up straight, and said with a smile: "What the Empress Dowager said is reasonable, it is the emperor himself who does not want to accept concubines, and it is not me who prevents the emperor from accepting concubines, so why be jealous, besides, do you have to accept the harem to spread the branches?" This palace is the lord of a palace, if you give birth to a dragon son, wouldn't it be more justifiable? ”

The Empress Dowager smiled contemptuously, "With the way you look now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to give birth to a dragon heir!" ”

Zhong Lichun's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "Who said that this palace can't give birth to a dragon, if it weren't for the emperor, the emperor would be able to walk now." After speaking, a murderous aura came out.

The palace maids in the hall, including the empress dowager, all felt a chill.

"Shuang'er is right, if it weren't for the fact that she was willing to lure the Gu worm to her body with her injured body, causing the dragon fetus to slip off, the dragon can walk now. And she will not lose too much qi and blood, causing her head to turn gray hair, and young women to become old women. Jun Mowen slammed open the palace door and strode in, hugged her in his arms and asked, "Shuang'er, are you okay?" It's all because I caused you to become like this, and caused you to lose your dragon. Let's go! Let's go back to the palace. ”

The Empress Dowager's face turned pale with anger, and she slapped the table and shouted, "Unfilial descendants, you dare to contradict the mourning family." ”

"The emperor and grandson don't dare, but the emperor's life was saved by her best, and the emperor will never live up to her in this life, and ask the emperor's grandmother not to embarrass the emperor and grandson." Jun Mo asked whether he was arrogant or humble, and said word by word: "Shuang'er, the body is still healing, and when I heard that Emperor Sun was seriously injured, I traveled a long distance from Qi to visit the emperor and grandson. I also hope that my grandmother will forgive me, and the emperor will take her down to rest first. After speaking, he took Zhong Lichun's left hand and took her away from Cishou Palace.

The Empress Dowager smashed the teacup angrily, Wang Li came out from behind the screen, hugged the Empress Dowager and coquettishly, "Aunt Huang, what do you say!" The emperor's cousin just refused to agree to make me a concubine. ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and patted her palm, "Don't worry, tomorrow after the seal, the Taidian Mourning Family will come forward in person and let him accept you as a concubine, if they still dare to disobey the will of the Mourning Family, the Mourning Family will make her unable to hold this post-sealing ceremony." ”

When Wang Li heard this, she was full of joy, "Thank you, Aunt Huang, I will definitely filial piety to you in the future." ”

The Empress Dowager looked at her dotingly, "For you, the mourning family has lost all their old faces." Who makes you the most pleasing to me? That's it, the mourning family has also let out this old face. ”

Jun Mowen sent Zhong Lichun back to Feng'an Palace, and the two had lunch together, telling her to rest well and not to think nonsense. After returning to the Qinzheng Palace, she thought about it, but she was still not at ease, and she was afraid that she would not be able to stand the stimulation, so she thought about it and ordered Qian Yi to send all the twists and turns to Feng'an Palace for processing.

Zhong Lichun was just lying in bed! Seeing him turn back again, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Jun Mo asked, why did you come back, don't you have to deal with state affairs?" ”

"Well, I don't worry about you, I have ordered someone to move the fold to Feng'an Palace to deal with it, so you can rest in peace! I'll sleep with you when I'm done with it. Zhong Lichun knew that Jun Mowen was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand the stimulation, so he said goodbye. Say casually: "Whatever you want!" I rested first. After saying that, he lay on the bed, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. I really fell asleep after a while.

Jun Mo asked to see her light breathing coming, knowing that she was really asleep, then he breathed a sigh of relief, when he looked backwards, he heard Bai Sha say that Zhong Lichun was invited into Cishou Palace by the Empress Dowager, his whole heart was moved, he was afraid that she would not be able to stand the stimulation and did not want to seal the queen. Seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, I knew that she was already at peace.

Jun Mo asked to deal with state affairs with peace of mind, and when he finished dealing with the folds, Zhong Lichun also woke up, she stretched her waist, "Jun Mo asked, have you finished dealing with the folds?" What time is it? ”

"I've just finished processing, now it's time to apply, tie up your hair, let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk." Jun Mo asked softly.

"Alright! Get out for a walk. Zhong Lichun got out of bed with shoes on. Tied up her hair by herself, and Jun Mowen came to the imperial garden with the two of them, Jun Mo asked her to see that she was very bored, and she was not interested, and asked in a low voice: "Shuang'er, it's okay to be idle, why don't we practice the sword!" It's been a long time since we've practiced swords together. ”

Zhong Lichun lazily responded: "It's too hot, I don't want to practice." ”

Jun Mo asked, "Why don't we have a game?" ”

Zhong Lichun thought for a moment and nodded nonchalantly, "Okay! Let me see how you are at chess as a king? The maid quickly set up the chessboard. Jun Mowen picked up the white son casually, and motioned for Zhong Lichun to go first.

Zhong Lichun was also not polite, picked up the sunspot and dropped a son in the middle. Jun Mo asked, and also landed next to the sunspot. The two fell like flying, and after a few consecutive moves, both sides were surprised by each other's chess skills. Zhong Lichun also changed from the original indifference to full attention, and both sides stared closely at the chessboard and launched a fierce tear.

Jun Mo asked that he would win very easily, and he was still thinking about how to let her lose too much, so that she would lose too embarrassed, who knew that after a competition, he knew that he was very wrong, not to mention let her have a few sons, it was not easy to win her one son and two sons, no wonder he could lead the army to fight for many years, just look at this strange chess move, it is impossible to prevent it, and if you can't observe it, you will lose all the games.

The two of them suddenly fell like flying, sometimes silent, until the time of the lantern, and the winner was not distinguished.

Bai Sha and Qian Yi saw that the two of them were addicted to the chessboard and didn't even need dinner, so they couldn't help but be secretly anxious. Bai Sha boldly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, it's time to eat." ”

Jun Mowen looked up and saw that the edge of the pavilion was already full of palace lights. Looking at the stalemate on the chessboard, it is impossible to distinguish the winner from the loser in a short period of time. So he smiled and said: "Shuang'er, otherwise, let's go down here first today, it's too late, let's eat first, seal the endgame, and then go down later." ”

Zhong Lichun smiled and got up, "Okay! Tell someone to seal the endgame, and in the future, there will be a winner or loser, no winner or loser, and never give up. ”

Jun Mo asked and smiled, "Don't break your word!" ”

"I will never break my word, I am afraid that you, the king, cannot afford to lose, just like he used to, you can only win, not lose. I still have to think about how to lose without showing my feet. Zhong Lichun blurted out, and as soon as the words came out, he regretted it.

Jun Mo naturally knew who he was in her mouth, and smiled, "I'm not him, as long as you can win me, even if you do your best, I am a loser, and I won't be as ruthless and unrighteous as him." ”

Zhong Lichun's heart warmed, people said that watching chess knows people, half a bit is good, Jun Mo asks the bright, can take it up, occasionally make mistakes, and never regret chess. Unlike Tian Yujiang, who is obviously not good at chess, and wants to win the game, once he makes a mistake, he immediately regrets his chess, and after playing with him twice, he is too lazy to play chess with him again.

The two ordered someone to seal the chessboard and withdrew. Baisha put the meal, and after the two of them finished using it, they returned to Feng'an Palace, bathed and went to bed, Jun Mo asked her to see that she was in a good mood, and pestered her and refused to stop.

Zhong Lichun couldn't be entangled by him, so he responded to his request, and the two warmed up for a while before they hugged each other and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, when the two were still asleep, they were woken up by Qian Yi, and hurriedly ordered to come in and wait, wash up, and hurriedly finish breakfast. Zhong Lichun was put on the phoenix robe by the palace maid layer by layer, there were eight layers, and the hot Zhong Lichun couldn't wait to take off the phoenix robe and leave. But as soon as he saw Jun Mowen's fiery eyes, he had to sit there obediently and let the palace maid toss, with a heavy phoenix crown, and the golden and shining pearls were inlaid on the phoenix crown, shining on this old face, I felt awkward to look at it like this. So he pulled a piece of thin veil and covered his face.

Jun Mowen looked at her with a lost face, and she couldn't see any smile on her face, knowing that she was still reluctant in her heart, anyway, after a while, as soon as she left the hall, once she accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials, she would be justified, and she couldn't run if she wanted to.

So he grabbed her hand, held her tightly in his hand and smiled: "Shuang'er, let's go!" They had been waiting in the main hall for a long time. ”

Zhong Lichun was tightly grasped by him, sighed resignedly, and looked down at a cumbersome and heavy palace headdress, like a shackle, locking his freedom. Let Jun Mowen drag himself forward. Slowly walked into the Qianyuan Hall.

Qian Yi raised his voice and shouted loudly: "The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, and hundreds of officials have knelt down to greet him." ”

Jun Mowen and Zhong Lichun knelt down to greet the hundred officials, holding hands and stepping on the red carpet, slowly stepping on the steps, and sitting on the dragon chair and the phoenix seat respectively.

The praise official of the Ministry of Rites shouted: "Hundreds of officials worship, congratulations to the emperor on the throne, congratulations to the queen mother for a thousand years, a thousand years old!" ”

Although a few civil and military officials were not very happy, they also shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor on the crown, and congratulations to the queen mother for a thousand years of life!" ”

Jun Mowen and Zhong Lichun both waved their sleeves, "No courtesy!" ”

The praise official of the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly, "Please ask the emperor and queen to worship the temple and worship the ancestors." ”

Suddenly, an abrupt voice sounded, "The Empress Dowager has arrived!" ”

The civil and military officials were stunned, "The Empress Dowager suddenly appeared in the main hall at this critical juncture, what does she want to do?" ”

Jun Mo asked and Zhong Lichun chuckled in their hearts, those who came were not good, those who were good did not come, this old woman was not dead, and what kind of moth did she want to make.
