Chapter 155: Another daughter of a famous family is chosen to be the queen

Su Qingyuan slowly stepped out of the threshold, walked to the porch, and looked at Aunt Nian's corpse, stunned.

"Your Majesty, the thief has been ambushed!" Gu Lingxiao came back with a bloody head in his hand.

Su staggered and leaned against the wall.

"Kite!" Lu Li hurriedly came over to support her.

"Are they all dead?" Su Qingyuan leaned into his arms and asked in a dumb voice.

"You still have me." Lu Li hugged her carefully.

Su Qingyuan tried to break free of his hand, but he had no strength, so he had to lean on his chest.

She thought she was strong, but—

This kind of whirling world, this kind of loss left alone between heaven and earth, is still beyond her imagination.

Before, she had never felt the affection of her parents deeply. However, just because you haven't gotten it doesn't mean you haven't hoped for it. And now, she doesn't even have the qualifications to look forward to.

Nope.

Su Qingyuan refused to cry, but felt that her throat was sore.

Maybe my father was right, she was the most damned one.

She could have had a chance to intercede for them. With Lu Li's affection for her, it is not completely impossible to save her parents' lives.

But she didn't.

It's really unfilial......

Su Qingyuan thought self-deprecatingly.

Lu couldn't help but comfort her. Those words of consolation, Su Qingyuan didn't even listen to a word.

Lu Li saw that she was really unstable on her feet, so he had to pick her up horizontally and send her back to the room.

After returning to the room, Su Qingyuan's vision gradually became clearer, and her throat was finally not so blocked.

She grabbed Lu Li's sleeve and asked in a dumb voice, "Are you okay?" Would you like to stay with me here? ”

Of course, Lu Li said "yes".

But Su Qingyuan didn't actually have anything to say to him. She was just suddenly a little scared to be alone.

Lu Li didn't ask anything, just hugged her quietly and lay down with her.

This lay down and it was sunset.

Because the two of them hadn't even eaten lunch, the courtiers and a few of the little eunuchs who served were already in a hurry, and finally pushed the path over and tried carefully.

Xiao Luzi said: "Dingguo Gong is in charge, and sent someone to purchase a coffin to ...... Su General Su and his wife were buried together. Dingguo Gong means that the rebellion of important ministers is not a glorious thing, rather than leaving a handle for the historian to write a special book, it is better to turn the big thing into a small one, and it is better to expose the past if it can be revealed. ”

Su Qingyuan sat up slowly, and her eyes finally turned red.

Seeing this, Xiao Luzi carefully added: "Of course, this is also for the sake of Niangniang's face. Niangniang was born and died for the emperor, and she never made a mistake in the major rights and wrongs, and the adults in the court couldn't bear to see Niangniang sad and sad. ”

"They're learning to be good now!" Lu Li sneered and sighed lightly.

To be honest, Lu Li was satisfied with this decision made by Dingguo Gong without authorization. It's just that considering Su Qingyuan's mood at this time, he can't say a single word "good".

Seeing that Su Qingyuan didn't react too aggressively, Lu Li's heart relaxed a little.

Xiao Luzi was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the opportunity to ask someone to put dinner on the table.

Su Qingyuan didn't have the heart to eat anything, and she was persuaded by Lu Lihao for half the night, and she only barely drank half a bowl of porridge.

After holding the lamp, the sound of rain outside the window still did not stop, and Su Qingyuan decided to go out for a walk.

Of course, Lu Li has to accompany him.

The two went downstairs together, but saw several important ministers of the court sitting in the hall, solemn and solemn, with a posture of a three-hall trial.

Su Qingyuan frowned, and subconsciously hid behind Lu Li.

Lu Li unceremoniously dragged her out: "What are you hiding?" They don't bite! ”

Su Qingyuan lowered her head, and she didn't know why she was suddenly timid.

Lu Li pressed her in place, walked down two steps by himself, and looked into her eyes: "Listen-Su Yi never supported you when he was alive, so now that he is dead, you have nothing to lose!" You're still you, you can still run rampant and lawless like you used to, you know? ”

"Yes." Su Qingyuan tugged at the corners of her lips.

Lu Li immediately fished her back into his arms: "It's good to understand!" Take out the strength of no one in your eyes! If those old things have the intention of bullying you, you can simply scold them to death, and I will support you! ”

"Lu Li, you're going to be a faint king!" Su Qingyuan smiled.

Lu Li glanced at her: "You just know?" With you, where can I become a holy lord and a virtuous king? ”

"So, I'm in trouble." Su Qingyuan smiled happily.

Lu Li nodded heavily: "So, you have already harmed me into a faint king, please be responsible to the end." ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely harm you for the rest of my life." Su Qingyuan blinked her sore eyes and curled the corners of her lips.

When the two walked down the last step, the civil and military officials present had already gathered around and knelt down.

"You guys, what's the matter?" Lu Li frowned.

Dingguo Gong took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, about Niangniang......

"What, are you going to cut the grass to the roots?" Su Qingyuan spoke before Lu Li and asked fiercely.

Ding Guogong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Naturally not." Weichen means that about the canonization of the queen, you still need to think about it. ”

"Tell me what you think." Lu Li hugged Su Qingkite and sat down together.

Dingguo Gong paused, gritted his teeth and said: "The auspicious period selected by the Taibu Department is at the end of May, but at that time, the mother's filial piety has not been eliminated, and it is really not suitable for a big wedding. Although Niangniang uses the identity of a girl, her biological parents can't completely ignore it after all. If the big wedding collides with a murderous event, it is related to the fortune of the country, and it must not be careless. ”

Lu Li frowned and did not refute.

Su Qingyuan thought about it carefully, and also felt that according to her mentality and situation at this time, it was a little reluctant to marry happily immediately.

Moreover, she could vaguely guess another pimple in the hearts of the courtiers - at the end of May, it was less than a year before the death of the first emperor.

This time also means that Lu Li's filial piety period is strictly speaking. And she, the interval between the two closures is less than a year, which is also an incredible thing.

The courtiers did not accept it and had reasons not to accept it, and it cannot be said that they were troublesome.

Lu Li pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Since this is the case, let's ask the Taibu Department to pick a new date, which will be set after July." ”

Ding Guogong and several officials next to him exchanged glances with each other and hesitated.

Lu Li's face was ugly: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Dingguo Gong's expression was a little embarrassed, obviously not very willing to offend Lu Li's anger. But it is clear that he was elected by these officials and represented the will of the people, and it was not up to him to decide whether to say it or not.

So, after hesitating for a long time, he finally said without confidence: "The ministers think that Niangniang's background is ...... Su Yi is a traitor, although Niangniang can kill relatives in righteousness, but it is difficult to ensure that she is not bound by blood and family affection, if there is a mistake in the future, it will be a fatal loss for South Vietnam! ”

The more Su Qingyuan listened, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but shoot the case: "You mean, I'm afraid that I will also learn from my father's rebellion in the future?" May I ask Grandpa Guo, if I have the heart to rebel, why don't I just help my father and mother kill Lu Li and destroy the country of South Vietnam? I didn't rebel when I should have been against it, when do you think I'll be back? ”

The old man of Dingguo blushed slightly, and said after a long time: "Niangniang's personality is naturally trustworthy. It's just that everything in the world can't be guaranteed, and Niangniang is a smart and knowledgeable person, in case ......"

Su Qingyuan said angrily: "In case I am greedy for power, it will be difficult for me to keep my ambitions in the future, such as suddenly wanting to carry my son to play with a curtain and listen to politics or something - is this what it means?" ”

Dingguo Gong is silent, indicating acquiescence.

Su Qingyuan sneered: "This is really a 'trumped-up crime'!" According to the meaning of the Duke of Dingguo, I suspect that your old man is covering the sky with one hand in the court, and it is difficult to ensure that there will be no dissent, such as leading his protégé to force the palace to seize the throne or something another day - I can also strike first and get rid of your old man to prevent future troubles? ”

Dingguo Gong blushed and wiped his sweat: "Niangniang is angry, and the ministers will never dare to offend Niangniang, let alone fabricate charges and defy the laws of the court." ”

Lu Li's black face said: "You want to imagine that Ah Kite will 'make a mistake in the future', and you want to boast that you 'dare not defy the laws of the court', what do you want to do?" ”

Dingguo Gong said cautiously: "Niangniang and the emperor are deeply affectionate, and the ministers dare not speak falsely. It's just that the background of the 'daughter of the foreign man of the ministry' is a little humble, and the true identity of the mother is a little ...... The ministers were for the sake of state affairs, and they dared to ask the emperor to choose another daughter of a famous family to be elected as the queen. Niangniang condescends to the position of concubine, first, to avoid the world's discussions, second, to be free from the funeral ceremony, third, to avoid more incidents in the future, and fourth, to ......"

Before he finished speaking, Su Qingyuan had already sneered: "What do you mean is that let me avoid the cusp of the storm and become an invisible person by Lu Li's side, so that there will be no trouble, right?" ”

"Exactly." Dingguo Gong breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Qingyuan sneered: "The abacus is playing well!" Push me aside first, wait for Lu Li to become the queen and give birth to the prince, and then persuade him to take more concubines...... Sooner or later, one day will squeeze me into an invisible corner—and then you will be able to clean me up as you please, and there are women who have died in this palace for unknown reasons, and there is no more than me! ”

Ding Guogong hurriedly said: "Niangniang, this is the most beneficial choice for you at the moment!" You and the emperor have been in the same boat for many years, and you will not easily disappear in the palace. If you insist on fighting for the position of the middle palace, the resistance in front of the emperor will increase a thousand times - how can you bear it? ”

"I'm so patient!" Su Qingyuan said coldly.

Ding Guogong frowned, obviously a little strange that she was ignorant.

Lu Li said in a deep voice: "I am willing to face those resistances, and it has nothing to do with Ah Kite. At most, I can only accept the postponement of the wedding, and as for making someone else the queen and wronging Ah Kite as a partial concubine - it is absolutely impossible! ”

"The stakes are very high, please think twice about it!" Dingguo Gong was in a hurry.

Lu Li stretched out his hand and pointed to a row of windows in front of him.

Dingguo Gong was puzzled. The ministers looked at each other.

Lu Li tugged at the corners of his lips and explained: "The weather in April is cold and warm, and the plantains in the courtyard are green and pleasant. If you feel like you're in a panic, you can go to the window to listen to the rain, and pick up a few poems at random, maybe you can be famous through the ages, why bother to calculate family affairs for me? Throughout the ages, there are only a few loyal ministers who can leave their names in history, and the cost is too great, and it is far less cost-effective than writing poems. ”

Su Qingyuan couldn't hold back, covered her mouth and smiled for a long time, squinted her eyes and continued: "That's it, how can being a loyal minister be a poet!" Those who plan family affairs for others every day are 'housekeepers' in ordinary people's homes, and 'chief stewards' in the palace, that is, 'great eunuchs'! ”

The ministers were already furious when they heard Lu Li's words, and by the time Su Qingyuan finished speaking, their faces had completely turned blue.

Su Qingyuan didn't feel that she was too much at all.

Lu Li didn't think so.

The two stood up hand in hand, ready to go out first to listen to the rain.

Dingguo Gong is unwilling, and the ministers are unwilling.

The little affection they had for Su Qingyuan had been almost worn out. When they saw Su Qingkite at this time, the first thing they thought of was "ignorant", "unproportionate" and "pampered and arrogant".

An official who seemed to belong to the Ministry of Rites stood up and questioned Su Qingyuan: "The emperor is willing to risk the world's disapproval for you, why can't Niangniang take a step back for the emperor?" is so pampered and arrogant, so ignorant of proportion, how can she be the mother of the world! ”

Su Qingyuan stood still and looked at him playfully: "If it is for Lu Li, if I talk about taking a step back, I just won't have a problem taking 10,000 steps!" But Lu Li didn't need me to back down, it was you who needed me to back down! You have not done me any good, you have not risked the condemnation of the world for me, you have not been born and died with me—why should I back down this step for your sake? ”

Lu Li hugged her tightly in amusement and twisted her waist with his hand.

Su Qingyuan pursed her lips and muttered softly: "Besides, if I retreat for other men, Lu Li will be jealous!" ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites thought that he could speak well and wanted to take this opportunity to show off, but he didn't expect that the teacher was unfavorable, so he immediately blushed.

Su Qingyuan leaned into Lu Li's arms and said leisurely: "It's your business to object; Lu Li and I have to insist, but it's our business. In short, no matter how you object, I will be Lu Li's wife, I would rather die than be a concubine, and I will never allow him to take a concubine in my lifetime! If you don't obey, you will come and kill me! ”

Lu Li's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, but the ministers were all so angry that they were smoking, and shouted, "How can this be reasonable."

Su Qingyuan saw that everyone only had the strength to scold and was no longer in the mood to be reasonable, so with a triumphant smile, he took Lu Li's arm and stepped out of the door with a majestic spirit and walked under the corridor.

Lu Li was very satisfied with her performance this time.

Su Qingyuan looked at the officials in the hall who were angry and scolded through a corridor, and covered her mouth a little timidly: "By the way, they won't really send someone to assassinate me, right?" ”

Lu Li patted her head and said with a smile: "They don't dare." That was a great sin for the three clans. ”

Su Qingyuan immediately smiled proudly.

Lu Li grabbed her hand and lowered his head: "I love to hear what you just said." ”

"Isn't it? I said you are not allowed to take a concubine, do you like to listen? Su Qingyuan's eyes widened.

Lu Li smiled: "With you, I'm afraid I won't have the time or energy to take any more concubines." Also, what I like to hear most is not this, but - you didn't say you have to be a queen, but you said you must be my 'wife'. ”

"Is there a difference?" Su Qingyuan asked with a smile.

Lu Li nodded: "If those old things don't let go of them, I will issue an edict to abdicate." Originally, I was a little worried, afraid that you would dislike me for not being the emperor in the future, but now I am not afraid. ”

Su Qingyuan's eyes widened in horror: "It's over, I'm speechless!" If you become a beggar in the future, will I not become a beggar's wife? This doesn't seem to be good! ”

Lu Li reached out and pinched her face: "It's too late to regret it now, you will have to follow me in the future!" If I am the emperor, you will be the queen; I'll be a beggar, and you'll be a beggar's wife—that's good! ”

"I don't think it's good......" Su Qingyuan was a little aggrieved.

Lu Li pressed her into his arms and laughed: "Don't worry, you can't be a beggar in your life!" ”

Su Qingyuan raised her head and glared at him, feeling that it might not be.

Lu Li saw her belly slander and laughed again.

After making trouble for a while, most of the depression in Su Qingyuan's heart dissipated, and she finally felt a little relieved.

The rain had not yet lightened, and the cold water vapor filled the porch, and it was foggy.

Tired of laughing, Su Qingyuan's eyebrows were again covered with sorrow.

Lu Li wiped the stone bench with his sleeve, hugged her and sat down, silent for a long time.

Su Qingyuan leaned on his shoulder and asked for a long time, "I see that you seem to have something on your mind." Is it because of the wedding? ”

Lu Li sighed lightly and did not answer.

Su Qingyuan raised her head to look at him and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't care that much." If they insist on objecting, you can cancel the canonization gift! I've been messing around with you for so long, and I don't mind going any further—as long as you don't deny your kids! ”

At the mention of "child", Lu Li's brows tightened.

Su Qingyuan was keenly aware of this. Thinking of the child who didn't know his whereabouts, she couldn't help but feel gloomy.

After sitting sullenly for a while, Su Qingyuan finally sighed: "Lu Li, even if the courtiers don't object, the canonization matter has to be put on hold for a while." If that child can't be found, I can't follow you with peace of mind to enjoy any leisure and wealth. ”

Lu Li turned around suddenly.

Su Qingyuan lost her support and almost fell, and she couldn't help but be startled.

Lu Li hurriedly supported her, flustered and guilty, and said dozens of "I'm sorry".

Su Qingyuan smiled: "Why have you become so reckless?" Do you still think you're a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager? ”

Lu Li laughed, and then sighed gloomily: "Ah Kite, if that kid can't be found, you...... What do you think? ”

"I won't find it back, I'll keep looking for it." Su Qingyuan said seriously.

Lu Li was a little anxious: "We don't have any clues at the moment, so we've been looking for ...... How to find it? Where to look? ”

Su Qingyuan bit the corner of her lip and looked at him seriously: "I can roughly guess where he is." I don't have anything to do with it, just go on a tour, I think I can always get it back. ”

Lu Li thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed with a smile: "So, I have to abdicate." ”

"No need, I'll go find the child, and I won't delay you becoming the emperor!" Su Qingyuan frowned.

Lu Li clasped her wrist and sighed, "How can I let you run around alone?" I'm going to accompany you to do this no matter what. ”

Su Qingyuan felt that there was no need to be like this. But seeing Lu Li's serious appearance, she felt very comfortable in her heart.

Lu Li said with some guilt: "It's a pity that Aunt Nian, I couldn't ask any useful clues in the end - she refused to tell where the child was hiding until she died." ”

Su Qingyuan was not surprised by this result: "It's strange that she is willing to say it!" She hates your father to death, so even if she knows that she is going to die, she will not agree to me to be with you. ”

Lu Li let out a long sigh and said in his heart: Not only did she not agree, she was still cursing.

Su Qingyuan thought for a while, and added: "If your father was still alive, he wouldn't agree." ”

"He will." Lu Li said busily.

Su Qingyuan frowned and thought for a long time, but still felt unconvinced: "Why did he agree?" Because I'm barely the daughter of the witch clan? If that's the reason, he'll promise me to give you a baby, but he won't let you marry me. ”

"It's not for this reason," Lu Li said seriously, "Actually, General Su and Aunt Nian may not really be against it...... They just hated it for too many years, and they couldn't erase it and change their words. ”

"Really?" Su Qingyuan will be skeptical.

Lu Li nodded heavily: "Of course it's true." Before the second elder died, he did not resent anyone anymore. They just talked about some old things, and unfortunately parted for sixteen years because of a misunderstanding. They don't say it, but I know they love you. ”

When Su Qingyuan heard this, her eyes turned red again.

Lu Li hugged her and sat firmly, and sighed: "This matter, it turned out that my father was at fault first, I ...... I really don't know how to make up for it. I owe you so much, I owe you. ”

Su Qingyuan sneered: "You said it yourself, it is a debt owed by your father, are you still ready to repay your father's debt?" ”

Lu Li nodded.

Su Qingyuan drilled into the crook of his arm and said with a smile: "I don't want to take advantage of you!" Your father owes my mother, not me! You just have to treat me well, I don't want to ask for those old debts for my mother! ”

"Such a generous creditor is rare in the world." Lu Li praised sincerely.

Su Qingyuan laughed "sneering".

Lu Li habitually patted her on the back, and after a long time, he said in a dumb voice: "Ah Kite, Aunt Nian said before she died...... If she dies, someone will kill our children. ”

Su Qingyuan stiffened, and then sneered again: "Do you listen to her nonsense?" Of those people under her hands, who really followed her? When she dies, the people she controls with witchcraft will also be sober, and who will have nothing to do to kill a child for her? According to me, it's more likely that someone will send the child back to me after she dies! ”

Lu Li thought about it carefully and felt that she was reasonable.

Su Qingyuan leaned on Lu Li's lap and smiled lazily: "You say, my father and mother don't like me to be good to you so much, in addition to hating your father, will there be any other reason?" For example, the mystery of life or something......"

"What do you want to say?" Lu Li's face was raised.

"What's going on in your mind?" Su Qingyuan asked rhetorically.

Lu Li was suddenly annoyed, stood up suddenly, and picked up Su Qingkite and carried it on his shoulder: "I think, the biggest reason is that you are more indebted!" ”
