Chapter VII
After winter, the wind in the palace is getting colder and colder, this is the first winter that Su Yao ushered in in the palace, when she was a child, she liked winter the most, not only can she build a snowman with Aya and them to have a snowball fight, but she can also go out to buy fragrant meat buns in person, not to mention how happy. But after entering the palace, if the stove is not warm enough, you can only hold Ling Yi's goods to keep warm, there doesn't seem to be much political affairs these days, Ling Yi is so idle that he will drill into Fengqi Palace whenever he has time, and he will hold Su Yao as soon as he comes to Fengqi Palace, but not to mention, it is quite comfortable to be held by this goods, Su Yao thought that it would be good if he could continue to be like this, at least he would not be cold with this goods.
"Tomorrow is the Great New Year," Ling Yi hugged Su Yao, sniffed the faint fragrance on her body, and said softly, "Tomorrow, I will canonize my queen in front of everyone." ”
Su Yao nodded and buried her head in his arms. It's so comfortable to have someone to keep warm.
"Are you wearing the phoenix robe you made?" Ling Yi touched Su Yao's head lightly and said.
"Haven't worn it yet." Su Yao shook her head and replied.
Ling Yi said softly, "Tomorrow, you will wear this phoenix robe and go to the palace with me. ”
"This ......" Su Yao was stunned for a moment, blinking her eyes.
"What, what's wrong?" Ling Yi asked with a smile.
"......" is certainly inappropriate. Su Yao couldn't help but raise her middle finger at Ling Yi in her heart, the phoenix robe can only be worn by the queen, and she wore it before she had a book, which was a big crime. Su Yao didn't wear it before because of this, although Su Yao didn't know how many families were targeting her, but every time she and Xiaohuan went out of Fengqi Palace, she could always feel that someone was pointing fingers at her.
"You don't know yet, when I carried you into the palace that day, I had already announced to the hundred officials the marriage contract of the first emperor and the matter after the book." As if knowing what Su Yao was thinking, Ling Yi smiled, "Although tomorrow is the queen of the book, it is just to announce this matter again, in fact, you are already my queen now." ”
Ling Yi said it very easily, but Su Yao knew that he must have suffered a lot of pressure for the sake of this book, otherwise Her Royal Highness the Third Princess would not fail to tell her about this matter. The Su family is weak, if he becomes the queen, the Su family will have a chance to turn over, which many people don't want to see, what happened after the book that day must be opposed by many people, and it will be delayed until now, and there will be many opposing voices in the palace tomorrow.
Ling Yi opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but seeing that Su Yao had been silent, and finally did not speak, his eyes looked into the distance, and hesitation flashed in his pupils, and after a long time, hesitation was replaced by determination.
This night, the two of them have their own hearts, and this night is very quiet.
When she woke up the next morning, Su Yao was pleasantly surprised to find that she had finally woken up earlier than Ling Yi. When he opened his eyes slightly, the thing even let out a very soft snoring sound. She turned sideways and just looked at him silently, motionless. The slightly raised corners of his mouth should have been some kind of sweet dream, Su Yao blinked, and suddenly couldn't help but stretch out a small finger and poke his cheek, so soft, just when Su Yao wanted to continue poking, Ling Yi suddenly turned over, and a hand was naturally on her shoulder. Looking at it so closely, Su Yao's face suddenly became hot, she secretly stretched out her fingers, subconsciously swallowed saliva, and touched his nose, at this moment, Ling Yi opened her eyes without warning, and when she came into contact with his good-looking eyes, Su Yao's whole body shrank, as if she had been electrocuted, she jumped up from the bed, and stood on the bed in an extremely strange posture.
Looking at Ling Yi with a bewildered expression, Su Yao was speechless. It's just that from Ling Yi's foolish gaze, Su Yao felt that he should be thinking about whether it would be a little troublesome to canonize the queen and then abolish the queen.
"...... Are you ......" Xiao Huan, who was holding a brand-new phoenix robe, asked a little embarrassedly when he saw Su Yao standing on the bed.
"It's okay, it's just that the queen is afraid that I will be boring, so she deliberately performs monkey tricks to relieve my boredom." Ling Yi put away her caring eyes for the mentally retarded, and gently helped the stunned Su Yao out of bed, "Change her clothes and serve your mother well." ”
"Yes......" Xiaohuan responded, poking his head out and slowly walking towards Su Yao.
You're a monkey! Your whole family is monkey-tricked! Su Yao was about to shout frantically in her heart, she bit her lip pitifully, resisted the urge to hit her head to death, gritted her teeth and said to the small ring that shot out the same light as Ling Yi when she looked at herself, "Change your clothes......"
When Xiaohuan put on Su Yao's phoenix robe, she told her that this was the best-looking dress she had ever seen in her life. Su Yao took a look at herself and felt that there was nothing special about this dress except that it was very large.
Ling Yi looked at Su Yao with a smile and said that it was really good-looking, Su Yao nodded, but he only felt that the dark dragon robe was on his body, which was suitable and good-looking.
Ling Yi personally pasted a good-looking flower on Su Yao's forehead, saying that this was the best-looking person he had ever seen.
Su Yao didn't believe it, Ling Tian looked much better than her, there were so many concubines in the harem, although she didn't know them very well, but which one of them was not Tianzi.
Oh, man.
The wind was not very strong today, and Su Yao didn't feel how cold it was, so he gently held her hand and led her up the thousand steps. The journey was a long and boring one, but every step seemed to walk in her heart.
Ling Yi asked Su Yao if she was afraid.
Su Yao shook her head lightly and said, Don't be afraid, it's just that this phoenix crown is too heavy and a little dizzy.
He laughed out loud, this was the first time Su Yao had seen him smile so happily and so easily these days.
Su Yao asked him if he thought she was stupid.
Ling Yi only shook his head and said, A-Yao is not stupid.
That sound gave her goosebumps. She knew she was bored, so she stopped talking.
After walking the thousand steps, he took her hand and came to Baiguan. After the neat Long Live My Emperor Long Live and a faint flat body, one after another eyes shot straight at Su Yao, I don't know if they haven't seen new clothes for too long, or if they haven't seen a living person for too long, that sight is simply going to pierce her before stopping.
"Your Majesty," After the two of them were seated, the middle-aged man sitting in the front row got up and knelt down towards Ling Yi and said, his eyes were blazing, and two rays of light shot out from it, "What does this woman mean by wearing the queen's phoenix robe?" ”
Before he finished speaking, the other ministers began to whisper, and Su Yao only felt that the middle-aged man's eyes were murderous, which made people very uncomfortable.
"In front of Your Majesty, there must be no noise." Yang Gonggong on Ling Yi's side shouted in a sharp voice.
"Zhu Xiangguo, don't be impatient, what do I mean, I said it before." Ling Yi didn't avoid the other party's gaze, and said lightly, "This is the daughter of the Su family, the head of the four major clans, and she is the queen of me, and the first emperor made a marriage contract when he was alive. ”
Zhu Xiangguo? Is this person Zhu Yi, the head of the Zhu family, one of the four major clans, Su Yao couldn't help but glance at the man with a strong aura twice. It is said that Ling Yi's throne was snatched from him, when the emperor was seriously ill, the throne should have been inherited by Ling Yi, who had been made the crown prince, but Zhu Xiangguo supported his eldest son Ling Chen, and wanted to support Ling Chen to inherit the throne on the grounds that since ancient times, it was the eldest son who succeeded to the throne. Although the edict of the former emperor had already come down at that time, because he was in too much hurry and did not stamp the national seal, Zhu Yi, who was full of power, chose to ignore this edict and only supported Ling Chen. This matter made a big fuss at that time, and Zhu Yi almost entered the palace to force the palace. It was the three imperial sisters of Ling Yi's mother's compatriots who fought against the Sun family with their lives to help Ling Yi keep the throne, and Ling Chen was also sent by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to a place far away from the imperial city to be the idle king, but Zhu Yi was not affected at all because of his strength.
Su Yao thought about it, this person can be regarded as half of her and Ling Yi's matchmaker. Of course, if Ling Yi and them were defeated that time, it would be a different matter.
"The old minister is frightened," Zhu Xiangguo knelt on the ground, his tone was cold, "Although the order of the first emperor cannot be violated, it is a major matter to stand up for the future, which is related to my great prayer for the fortune of the country, and I hope that Your Majesty will think twice, and you must not be in a hurry." ”
"I hope Your Majesty thinks twice." As soon as Zhu Yi finished speaking, the other ministers chimed in.
"Your Majesty may be able to give Miss Su a position first, and it's not too late to discuss the future." Zhu Yi took advantage of the momentum and said loudly.
Ling Yi's expression was grim, and his tone was tough: "The marriage contract promised by the emperor himself, if he doesn't make Su Yao the queen, but he is disrespectful to the emperor?" ”
"The old minister doesn't dare, and asks the emperor for forgiveness." Zhu Yi fell to the ground and stopped talking.
"At today's New Year's banquet, I have two things to announce," Ling Yi took a light breath, ignoring Zhu Yi, his eyes were still sharp, he subconsciously glanced at Su Yao who was out of condition, and continued, "In addition to the immediate queen, there is one more thing. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly, and Gonggong Yang on the side slowly took out a copy of the imperial decree and said loudly in a sharp voice:
"Su Jue, the general of the auxiliary state, is loyal, righteous and benevolent, brave and unparalleled, defeated the border traitors, and this time he has contributed to the pacification of civil strife, and I have authorized him to be transferred to the palace to receive the reward."
As soon as this edict came out, Zhu Yi's face darkened, and the ministers looked at each other and exploded. Yang Gonggong shouted "no noise" several times, but the sound of discussion still did not stop.
When she heard her eldest brother's name, Su Yao's eyes subconsciously shrank, after hearing "Enter the palace to receive the reward". She was stunned for a moment, then her hands and feet became cold, and a bad premonition enveloped her, and although she tried her best to avoid it, her mind was directed to the most likely guess.
Zhu Yi's face was very bad, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He miscalculated, to be precise, he should have been calculated, calculated by a nineteen-year-old hairy child. No wonder he looked like he was winning as soon as he went to the palace, no wonder he put the matter after the seal there, and had to wait until the New Year to announce it, no wonder he directly let her wear a phoenix robe, from the beginning, this little emperor had already won. Zhu Yi thought that he was planning thousands of miles and everything was under control, but he didn't expect to miss a Su Jue. The Su family is strong again, which is absolutely unfavorable to the Zhu family, there is a matter of fighting for the throne back then, the Su family will never let go of the Zhu family easily, it is because of this that he wants to strike first, take advantage of the weakness of the Su family, directly destroy the Su family, and let the Zhu family replace the position of the head of the four major clans of the Su family. But now that Ling Yi has set up the Su family's daughter-in-law again, and summoned the Su family's son-in-law back to the palace, it is tantamount to making his efforts over the years in vain. Su Yao has a marriage contract with the first emperor, and his name is justified, Su Yao quelled the rebellion and made great contributions, and it is natural for him to return to the palace to receive the reward. Although Zhu Yi is a prime minister and has power, even if he has great ability, it is impossible to refuse these two things at the same time in front of the emperor, Ling Yi did this, making it clear that he was choosing one of the two. This edict was really a blow to Zhu Yi.
"Your Majesty, General Su has done a miraculous feat and deserves to be rewarded, but General Su is now on the remote border, and it is winter, so it may be dangerous to return to the palace now." Zhu Yi choked slightly, and said stiffly.
"Zhu Xiangguo, you have repeatedly raised objections to His Majesty's holy decree, but you have ulterior motives?" Before Ling Yi could speak, a slightly immature voice on the side sounded high, Sun Yahan gently put down the sweet wine, delicious wine and delicacies, and good shows, this year's New Year's banquet was not as boring as in previous years, and he had a very happy time.
"The old minister doesn't dare, although His Majesty is in a hurry, there is a marriage contract made by the first emperor, how dare the old minister have any objections." Zhu Yi almost gritted his teeth and said, this is the best solution at present, the young wolf is not to be afraid, if the adult wolf is brought back to the palace, it will no longer be able to control it. Zhu Yi admitted that he lost this game.
Ling Yi glanced at Sun Yahan, whose cheeks were slightly red, smiled, and said loudly: "If the ministers have no objection, they will make Su Yao the queen of the Great Prayer Country, and the mother will be the world, as for Su Yao's return to the palace, we will discuss it after the year." ”
Zhu Yi has already made concessions, if Ling Yi presses step by step, I am afraid that the powerful Zhu Xiangguo can't help but turn his face. There is a degree of relaxation, this is the most important point that Ling Yi has summarized since he ascended the throne. However, it can be seen that the invincible Zhu Xiangguo has given in, Ling Yi's mood is extremely good, and the evil qi that has accumulated over the years has finally come out. It's just that...... Feeling the cold little hand, Ling Yi couldn't help but glance at Su Yao, who was pale on the side, he suddenly felt guilty, he seemed to see the tears flashing from the corners of her eyes, this time he mentioned the eldest brother she missed very much, and also used his eldest brother as a bargaining chip, Ling Yi knew that this was very hurtful, but it was not easy to deal with Zhu Xiangguo, if he wanted him to give in, his side had to make sacrifices, Ling Yi subconsciously swallowed his saliva, he wanted to call her name, but found that his throat was blocked and he couldn't make a sound.
"There is Su Yao, the daughter of the Su family, who is virtuous and virtuous, and has won the hearts of the people, so she is registered as the queen of the Great Prayer Country, called Xianlu, and the mother of the world." The shrill voice echoed in the main hall and did not disperse for a long time.
"Long live your majesty, long live long live, long live the queen, long live the queen." As Sun Yahan knelt down first, the not-so-neat voice echoed in the hall.
