Chapter XXXVII
The edict after Xia Zimo decided to marry Xia Yixue came down quickly, and the wedding date was set for October 20th. Although Xia Zimo wanted to marry her immediately, there were some things to prepare after all. If Xia Yixue is an ordinary woman, she is likely to enter the palace as a concubine at will. But she looks exactly the same as Qiu Luoxue, Xia Zimo doesn't want to wronged Qiu Luoxue, and naturally she won't wronged Xia Yixue.
There is another thing worth mentioning, that is, at the same time as the marriage contract edict was issued, Xia Zimo also gave Xia Yixue the name Qiu Luoxue. This is the meaning of completely treating her as Qiu Luoxue.
"Hahahaha~" King Chen laughed happily, he hadn't laughed so comfortably for a long time.
"Yixue, it seems that your performance at the banquet was very successful, and the emperor has completely regarded you as Qiu Luoxue. It's marriage and name-giving, exactly like our plan. I believe that it will not be long before the king's plan will be completed. ”
"Then Yixue will congratulate her father-in-law first." Xia Yixue said with a smile.
"This king can do it thanks to you. After the deed is done, whatever you want, just say it, and this king will promise you. Chen Wang said.
"That father-in-law can't break his word, Yixue has to think about it." Xia Yixue said playfully, her playful appearance was no different from Qiu Luoxue.
Later, because Xia Yixue was given the name Qiu Luoxue, everyone also called her by that name. Let's call her Qiu Luoxue. It's just a name, and there's no difference.
However, because the two of them are too similar, people always mistakenly think that there is no difference between Xia Yixue and Qiu Luoxue.
"Luo Xue see the emperor."
On this day, Xia Zimo summoned Qiu Luoxue in the palace, Qiu Luoxue in the past always had light makeup and was very pure. But this Qiu Luoxue's makeup is very thick, and there is a hint of charm in her eyes.
"Hurry up, didn't I say that when you see me in private, you don't have to salute." Xia Zimo said, and walked up to Qiu Luoxue to help her up.
It seems that Xia Zimo completely regarded the person in front of him as Qiu Luoxue. These were originally things that only he and Qiu Luoxue knew, but now they told others. Maybe it was because Qiu Luoxue's death was too painful for him, so he deceived himself in this way.
"Come, I've made your favorite dish. You've been away from the capital for so long, you should want to eat. Xia Zimo took Qiu Luoxue's hand and walked towards the dining table.
Qiu Luoxue smiled and said very cooperatively: "Of course, if you want to talk about cooking, of course, it is better to be the imperial chef in the palace." Although the cooks in King Chen's Mansion are also good, they are still good in the palace. ”
In front of Xia Zimo, she is Qiu Luoxue, whether she is pretending or something else, she has to follow Qiu Luoxue's logic, behavior, and tone.
"Wow...... It's so hearty, it's all my favorite food. Qiu Luoxue said and found a seat on her own, picked up the chopsticks and ate the vegetables, and ate them in a big gulp.
Xia Zimo looked at her dotingly and said, "You eat slowly, I won't rob you." It's still the same as before, nothing has changed. ”
Qiu Luoxue said while eating: "How can human nature become so easy." Besides, that's what eating is all about, and eating big is enjoyment. ”
This kind of Qiu Luoxue made Xia Zimo very emotional, and he remembered a lot of time with Qiu Luoxue. She was always happy, as if everything big had nothing to do with her.
"That's good." Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue and said.
"Huh?" Qiu Luoxue tilted her head to look at him and asked, "What's so good?"
"You can come back to me, I'm good." Xia Zimo said, with a smile on his face, this is probably the first smile in a year.
In fact, if Qiu Luoxue in front of you is not King Chen's person, but a simple woman who looks like Qiu Luoxue, then the two are good together. It's a pity that she is King Chen's person.
"Let's play chess with me after eating, the lotus flowers in Fubi Pavilion are blooming just right. You used to say that you liked the lotus flowers there. Xia Zimo proposed.
Qiu Luoxue looked at him and said, "How long ago was that, Your Majesty still remembers."
"Of course I remember, I remember everything you say." Xia Zimo said, he looked at Qiu Luoxue's gaze a little stupid.
Because of such an affectionate and gentle gaze, Qiu Luoxue was almost immersed in it and couldn't get out.
"Does the emperor really want to marry that woman named Xia Yixue?" Su Muyi asked Xia Ziyan.
She was also present at the banquet that day, and she was surprised that there were such similar people in the world. However, because Xia Yixue is a person next to King Chen, she also has some vigilance.
"Shhh, you can't call her Xia Yixue in the future. The imperial brother has ordered her to be given the name Qiu Luoxue, and anyone who does not call her that way will be severely punished. Xia Ziyan warned Su Muyi.
Su Muyi frowned and said, "Didn't the emperor do this to lure the wolf into the house?" Although I knew that he was like this because of Ailuoxue, ......"
"Not just because I love her, but because it's so painful." Xia Ziyan turned his gaze outside and said melancholy.
Su Muyi could understand this mood, hugged Xia Ziyan from behind, and said, "You have also suffered as much as the emperor."
Xia Ziyan smiled shallowly, grabbed Su Muyi's hand, and said, "I don't have the pain of the imperial brother, because I still have you."
Fortunately, Su Muyi slowly walked into Xia Ziyan's heart, and the two ushered in a happy ending. If Xia Ziyan still loves Qiu Luoxue as much as he did at the beginning, he will definitely believe in the woman who looks very similar to Qiu Luoxue. Because his love for Qiu Luoxue is not so persistent, Xia Ziyan will not be easily confused. A substitute will never be the right one, at least not in his heart.
Yes, no matter how similar they look, they are not a person after all. In the past, Qiu Luoxue was kind and scheming. The current one, however, is very different.
Qiu Luoxue met Jiang Guifei in the Imperial Garden, and the struggle between women began.
"Why don't you kneel when you see Hongu?" Jiang Guifei asked.
"Why kneel? I'm going to be the queen soon, and in terms of position, you should salute me. Qiu Luoxue said disdainfully.
Jiang Guifei was not angry, there were not a few such people in the palace, she said: "Then it will be said after you become the queen, before you enter the palace, you are still nothing." Even if you enter the palace and become a queen, how long can you stay in that position? The emperor just treats you as a substitute for Prime Minister Qiu. ”
"Even if it's a substitute, at least I'm still in the eyes of the emperor. And you? After so many years in the palace, has the emperor seen you again? Qiu Luoxue fought back, directly poking at Concubine Jiang's scar.
"You ......" Concubine Jiang Guifei was speechless angrily.
"How? Aren't you angry, come on, hit me. Qiu Luoxue said and stepped forward to grab Jiang Guifei's hand.
"What are you doing? Let go of Hongu. Jiang Guifei said sharply.
Qiu Luoxue suddenly showed a sinister smile and said, "You'll know what I'm doing right away."
After finishing speaking, she pretended to fall to the ground, because she was very close to Jiang Guifei at that time, which would cause a misunderstanding that Jiang Guifei pushed her.
The reason why she did this was because she saw Xia Zimo walking this way. Sure enough, from Xia Zimo's point of view, it was Jiang Guifei who overthrew Qiu Luoxue.
He walked over quickly and said sharply, "Presumptuous." I have always heard that you do whatever you want in the palace, and I will not punish you for following me for so many years. I didn't expect you to move Luo Xue's head. ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged." Concubine Jiang immediately knelt down and said, and the palace maids behind her also knelt down.
Only then did she understand Qiu Luoxue's intentions, and when she knelt down, she saw Qiu Luoxue with a smug smile on her face.
"Dare to quibble." Xia Zimo scolded angrily.
"Your Majesty, it's really not the mother's push...... " The palace maid beside Jiang Guifei complained for her.
"Presumptuous, just a slave and maid, he interjected at will, it seems that your master didn't teach you well on weekdays." Xia Zimo said, "Someone." Concubine Jiang Guifei was overbearing in the palace and committed the following crimes, and was punished ......"
"Your Majesty, don't be like this, Xue'er is fine, Xue'er accidentally fell down by herself, and it has nothing to do with the concubine." Qiu Luoxue pleaded at the right time, with tears in her eyes when she spoke, looking aggrieved.
"Are you really okay? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look? Xia Zimo asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's just...... It's just that Xue'er just fell, and her legs are a little weak, so I'm afraid she won't be able to walk. Qiu Luoxue looked like she couldn't stand as she spoke, and fell into Xia Zimo's arms.
Xia Zimo naturally supported her for the first time and said, "I'll take you back." As she spoke, she hugged Qiu Luoxue horizontally.
"Then the emperor wants to promise me not to punish the concubine." Qiu Luoxue didn't forget to help Concubine Jiang intercede.
"Yes, I promise you. As long as it is what you want to do, I will promise you. Xia Zimo's tone was full of pampering.
The tone of pampering to the person in his arms was cold, and he was cold to Jiang Guifei, and he said to Jiang Guifei: "I originally wanted to punish you well and let you have a long memory, but Xue'er is kind and doesn't want to embarrass you." Forget it this time, and next time, I will not be spared. ”
Although Concubine Jiang was angry, she still said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Miss Xie Xue is generous."
Qiu Luoxue poked her head out of Xia Zimo's arms and said with a smile: "It's not the Snow Girl, it's the queen's mother." You may not get used to it, but you still have to get used to it. ”
"Your Majesty, did you say so?" Qiu Luoxue said that she had to pull Xia Zimo in.
Xia Zimo's current state, of course, is that everything she says is right, so she said to Jiang Guifei: "Xue'er is right, when you see her in the future, you will call the queen mother, and you will follow the etiquette of treating the queen."
This made Concubine Jiang angry, and she secretly clenched her fists. Even Qiu Luoxue back then did not let her suffer this kind of grievance. This little girl is just a substitute, and she is so rampant. However, in front of Xia Zimo, she still didn't dare to attack.
So Jiang Guifei could only swallow her anger and say, "The concubine obeys the order."
