Chapter 53
After a while, Ji Yuchen let go of her, looked at Mo Ziling, who had grown to his chin, and said, "Ling'er, it's been a year, you've grown taller, but why are you still so thin?" After speaking, he hugged her into his arms and rested his head on her shoulder.
Mo Ziling let him hold him tightly, closing his eyes and carefully feeling his heartbeat and the faint fragrance of herbs on his body.
After a while, Ji Yuchen thought that she had come from a long journey, and she must have not had lunch yet, so she hurriedly ordered the eunuch to go to the dining room, and pulled Mo Ziling to sit on the window couch.
The eunuch called the little eunuch to go to the dining room while standing outside the door and pondering: I can't complain that Your Majesty misses this martial monarch so much, and the graceful posture and the Beifeng forces behind him are just this unparalleled beauty, and he has never seen any master in the palace for more than 30 years who can match it; It seems that in the future, things about this master must be twelve points of attention.
After the meal arrived, the eunuch entered the hall and was busy arranging, seeing that there were no omissions and withdrawing lightly from the door to guard, after thinking about it, he called a little eunuch and ordered him to go and wait for the Wujun monarch to accompany the meal and tea;
Mo Ziling looked at the meal in front of him and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty didn't have lunch either?"
Ji Yuchen sandwiched a few dishes for her and then put dishes for herself and said: "I will wait for you when Ling'er arrives, I want to dine with you; Ling'er, what do you call me?" he looked at her with bright eyes.
"Ah Chen, you don't have to be so ······"
"Ling'er, just be lonely with me. Eat quickly, I'll take you to meet the Queen Mother after dinner, she is your aunt after all, and it's better for you to meet you when you enter the palace for the first time, and you can get along well in the future. ”
Looking at the faint loneliness on his face, Mo Ziling sighed secretly and raised his spoon to eat.
After eating, Ji Yuchen only led the eunuch and Mo Ziling to Zichen Palace, he wanted Ling'er to see if he was satisfied, and if there was anything to add.
There were already attendants guarding the palace gate, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly bowed and opened the door. Mo Ziling looked at the giant phoenix wings sculpture carved from white marble on both sides of the palace gate, which was consistent with the pattern embroidered on the flag of the North Phoenix Fire Phoenix, and was stunned for a moment, followed Ji Yuchen into the courtyard, and waited for the three of them to enter the courtyard, and hurriedly closed the two red lacquer palace doors and guarded the sides.
Mo Ziling looked around, the courtyard is not small, a grand hall in the middle of the north, red walls and tiles, twelve logs that are difficult for two people to hug are towering to the top, the carvings on the brown wooden doors and wooden windows are also the fire phoenix totem, and the finches under the eaves are also the golden phoenix shapes that flutter their wings and fly high. Above the main entrance, a bronze plaque is hung, and the golden characters of 'Zichen Palace' are written on it, which is the handwriting of Ji Yuchen. The two sides of the main hall are slightly lower two side halls, the east and west two rows of side rooms are twelve in total, there are also more than a dozen side rooms behind the main hall; the main road leading to the main hall in the courtyard is paved with white marble, the front porch and the fence steps of the main hall are also the fire phoenix pattern carved from white marble, and the dragon and phoenix pattern carved from white marble in the center of the steps is lifelike.
In front of the main hall are a few ginkgo trees, which have grown small leaves, and a wooden swing stands quietly under the tree, and the main road is lined with lush greenery and forsythia, and the courtyard is paved with bluestone.
Walking under the ginkgo tree and touching the trunk, Mo Ziling suddenly became distracted, as if time had returned to the Moli Temple, and she always loved to stand under the two ginkgo trees in a daze.
"I transplanted these ginkgo biloba after I asked Zilan, do you like it?" A low voice came from her ear, and Ji Yuchen asked in a low voice from behind her.
"Ah Chen, I like it very much, thank you. ”
Turning her body around, Ji Yuchen looked into her eyes and said: "Ling'er, Zilan said that you and the nurse grew up in the Moli Palace, although it was a cold palace, but I think there must be a lot of memories of you, Zilan told me that you always love to be in a daze under the two ginkgo trees in the courtyard of the Moli Palace, so I will transplant a few plants to the Zichen Palace, which can bring a sense of familiarity to Ling'er." ”
After speaking, he took her hand and went to the west hall to look at it and said: "Ling'er, this is your study and the place where you will meet guests; ”
Then he led her to the east side hall and said, "This is for our children, I thought you would not want to take care of our children by others, so I prepared this side hall, and we can watch the little one grow up together in the future······"
Mo Ziling was moved for the first time, and looked at Ji Yuchen and said in a dumb voice: "Ah Chen, do you know what you are talking about? ”
"Ling'er, of course I know what I'm talking about. I said, if this position doesn't allow me to do anything for you, what use will I do? The ancestors who wanted to set this ancestral system must have been afraid that the Mo clan would sit big, but I was not afraid! Ling'er knows that I have given the harem concubines a year to avoid the child, and all I want is the children of me and Ling'er; only our children are the eldest sons, and they are also the next emperors of Dayue! Only our children can do it!"
Mo Ziling once asked herself about her destiny, knowing that she would not die well in the end, so she thought about not having children in this life, lest she leave the world one day and leave her children alone to face the warmth and coldness of human feelings; Today, Ji Yuchen actually said that he was looking forward to their children, how could he not be moved in his heart. This man quietly ascended to a high position, and he did not control everything quietly, she thought that he must be more important than everything, but he could do such a thing for himself, how could he not be moved?
Seeing the ups and downs on her face and the change of expression, Ji Yuchen chuckled: "I was moved by Ling'er just after I did it, this is not like the little Ling'er on weekdays······" After laughing, he looked at the bright starry eyes seriously and said: "Ling'er, you are the one who wants to join hands with me for a lifetime, I don't care about you, who should I do with my heart?" Ling'er and watch, I will live up to Ling'er in the future!"
After speaking, he led her into the main hall of Zichen Palace, and when they entered, the eunuch closed the door of the hall and guarded the door as usual.
Mo Ziling looked at the layout of the hall: the banquet and rest place was just like the furnishings in the Beifeng Hall, with a small study on the west side, and a dormitory and bathroom on the east side; all the arrangements were according to her preferences, elegant but exquisite.
After looking around and pulling her to lie on the window couch in the dormitory, Ji Yuchen hugged her and asked, "Do you like Ling'er?"
Buried in his chest, Mo Ziling sighed: "Ah Chen, you are attentive, I like it very much." Don't add anything more, I'm afraid it's a violation of etiquette now. ”
Touching her soft hair, Ji Yuchen said in a low voice: "My little Ling'er deserves the best in this world." No matter what etiquette system is, even if it is determined by the ancestors, I can also break it and re-customize. ”
After speaking, he kissed her starry eyes and spoke: "Ling'er is running all the way, take a break, I didn't sleep well when I thought I could see you last night, now you are by your side, we take a nap, and there is a banquet at night······"
After the words fell, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, Mo Ziling looked at his sleeping face, but his heart was full of thoughts, how could he sleep, but he hugged himself tightly, afraid that he would wake him up if he moved, so he could only lie quietly in his arms and fell asleep soon after.
However, it was said that the harem concubines sent out to inquire about the news, and the palace maids replied with the news from time to time, knowing that the martial monarch was not as ordinary as they imagined, but had the posture of captivating the country and the city, and they couldn't sit still anymore, especially the high-ranking concubines who were qualified to participate in the dinner began to dress up early, choosing clothes and jewelry, thinking that they couldn't be compared to that one, which was to lose face for their family.
The Xia Wu Palace has already been busy like chickens and dogs, Su Ruoshui either dislikes the hair bun or the jewelry does not match the clothes, and he is still not satisfied after trying on a few sets of clothes;
The Chunhua Hall is quiet, Zhao Yuan was silent for a long time after listening to the palace maid's report, and smiled bitterly, listening to the maids and maids say that the lady in the Xia Wu Hall had already begun to dress up, and the lady should also dress up, after all, the mother is now the first person in the harem, how can she suppress those women······
Waving his hand to let the maid retreat, Zhao Yuan got up to take care of the flowers and plants in the palace, but bitterness spread in his heart: no matter how much he dresses up, who can suppress the limelight? Now that he is the first person in the harem, when that person enters the palace, is he just a concubine?
In Shangyang Palace, the Empress Dowager Mo Yining listened to the message from the emperor's chamberlains and knew that they would come, so she ordered the palace maids to arrange them, and she leaned on the big pillow to think about what kind of demeanor this niece who had never met before.
Mo Ziling felt a slight itch behind her ears in her sleep, dodged it for a while and didn't avoid it, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Ji Yuchen kissing her small earlobe with her head buried in her neck, and her face was crimson.
"Wake up, it seems that Ling'er is really tired, but is she better?" a low voice was in his ear.
Gently replied, and was about to get up, but was hugged by Ji Yuchen again, Sakura's lips had been kissed, and her body gradually stopped stiff and soft.
After a while, Ji Yuchen let go of her but didn't allow her to get up, her eyes were shining and she looked at her and asked, "Ling'er, it's been a year, but you can think about it, are you willing to be my emperor?"
Mo Ziling nodded slightly, but Ji Yuchen was not satisfied: "Ling'er, I want to hear your answer, are you willing to be my emperor?"
"Ah Chen, I don't know if I can be your emperor and queen, but I want to be your wife. With a lazy tone that had just woken up, Mo Ziling replied softly.
The corners of Ji Yuchen's mouth curled more and more, and his laughter sounded in the hall, hugging the person in his arms tightly and hating her into his body.
The eunuch heard Chen Dilang's laughter outside the door, and he laughed silently.
