18. His gentleness
Shen Qinghuan originally thought that marriage was just a formality, but he didn't expect to be so tired. She walked into the queen's exclusive Chenghuan Hall and was guided by Mo Xiang to walk inside.
"You all go down, just leave Moxiang in it and take care of me alone." Shen Qinghuan said.
"Now Niangniang is the real queen." Moxiang helped her to the bed and sat down peacefully.
Shen Qinghuan asked, "Does Qi Yan still have to have a staggered relationship with those ministers?" ”
"The queen, you can't call the emperor by his name directly."
"Oh." There are so many rules in the palace.
"Ordinary people get married, and their husbands also have to entertain guests in the front hall, let alone the emperor. I heard that the guests who came this time were not only Zhaoyue, but also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the neighboring Zhaoling, so the emperor attached great importance to it. ”
"Oh." Shen Qinghuan only listened to relieve his boredom, and didn't take it into his heart, "Then you say, Qi... When will the emperor come? ”
Mo Xiang chuckled: "It turns out that the queen mother misses the emperor." However, this slave maid doesn't know that the royal family's communication is always very special, if the mother is hungry, the slave can take some dessert for the mother to eat. ”
Shen Qinghuan had been busy all morning, she hadn't eaten, and she was a little hungry, so she touched her stomach and said, "Is this okay?" Then you... No, ask Gong'e outside to help me get some. ”
"Yes." The ink fragrance should be down.
"When I'm at home, just tell my mother what you want to eat..."Shen Qinghuan didn't feel a little homesick, "Of course, there are you here, but there are many rules in the palace, my temperament is wild, I can't get used to it for a while, many places, I want Mo Xiang to guide me more." ”
"The slave doesn't dare to say that she is pointed, but as long as she can help the mother, the slave will definitely say and do it."
Shen Qinghuan smiled and nodded, and asked, "You said that your previous master was not easy to get along with, so who was your previous master?" ”
"It's... The slave didn't dare to say it. ”
"Say it."
"It's the Queen Mother."
Dowager? Shen Qinghuan didn't react for a while, thinking that Qi Yan didn't have parents, so how could he be the queen mother. only then did I react, it turned out that this Zhaoyue had already changed her surname. Then, the Queen Mother is her aunt, her mother's sister.
"Are you bold enough to talk about my aunt in front of me?"
Mo Xiang knelt down: "Yes... It was the Queen Mother who allowed me to say it. The first emperor favored the queen mother, the queen mother was very arrogant, and she was regent in the harem, but the emperor didn't dare to say that the queen mother was naturally not very good to our subordinates..."
"Is it..."Shen Qinghuan only remembered that when she was a child, her aunt occasionally spoke very politely to A-Niang, but she was still young at the time and didn't feel anything, but she didn't expect it to be such a person, "You get up, I don't blame you." ”
As she spoke, Gong E outside had already brought the pastries.
"Why is it so fast, did you prepare it early?" Qing Huan asked.
"It was ordered by the emperor, and he said that he knew that Niangniang would be hungry if she waited for a long time." Gong E replied.
Qing Huan said "oh", and saw that the plate was filled with the osmanthus cake she liked to eat on weekdays, and she asked again: "This... How do you know I like osmanthus cake? ”
"It was ordered by the emperor."
Qi Yan... He is so attentive that he can find out everything she likes?
She felt a softness in her heart being touched.
"Niangniang is really favored, the emperor not only went to the house in person to propose, but also felt Niangniang's preferences clearly, in the future, if Niangniang gave birth to a little prince, then Niangniang's status is unmatched." Mo Xiang said.
Although it was flattering, Shen Qinghuan was still very happy when he listened to it. It's just that when he heard the little prince, his face turned slightly red.
Qi Yan was in the main hall and toasted with the ministers and officials who came to congratulate him. But his eyes looked to the side from time to time.
It was Song Ziyao, the crown prince of Zhaoling, who specially came to Zhaoyue to celebrate the new emperor's accession to the throne.
Qi Yan walked over, picked up his wine glass and said to Song Ziyao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a disappointment. ”
"The emperor is really distressed, I am the same age as the emperor, it is better to be called a brother. I'll do this glass of wine first. Song Ziyao picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Qi Yan smiled lightly unconsciously: "Then, I will call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Brother Song." Brother Song came to me to recruit the moon this time, why don't you stay for a few more days? ”
Song Ziyao shook his head and said: "I came here to congratulate the emperor on his accession to the throne, but now I have stayed for half a month, and I think my father should also hope that I will go back as soon as possible, and I should leave the day after tomorrow." ”
"That's a pity, there are still a lot of interesting things in Zhaoyue, I should have asked someone to take Brother Song to see more. It's not the right thing I did. ”
