Fenghua Palace is extremely quiet.

Xiao Yiqian walked to the door of the room and stopped, he waved his hand, signaling that Li Shihai did not have to enter the house, and then he pushed the door in.

The palace people in the room knelt on the ground one after another.

He walked to the wedding couch, Aunt Zhu glanced at the palace maid beside him, and the palace maid walked over the tray with two cups of wedding wine on it.

Mingran's face and cheeks were crimson, her curly eyelashes hung down, she couldn't see her emotions, and the moment she raised her eyes, Xiao Yiqian was in a trance for a moment.

Dressed in a gorgeous dress, elegant and generous, the dim candle flame reflected her beautiful face, her bright eyes looked at Xiao Yiqian, and smiled, "Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Yiqian's eyes flashed and he sat beside her.

Aunt Zhu placed the tray in front of him, he took a red wedding cup, and Ming Ran also reached out to pick up the other.

He sat sideways with her at the same time, facing each other, his hands intertwined, and drank a glass of wine.

Aunt Zhu took the empty cup, helped Mingran to get up and sit down on the dressing table, removed her bun, and washed her makeup.

Xiao Yiqian changed out of her dress, sat on the wedding couch, and looked at her with a smile on her face.

Ming Ran walked behind the bead curtain, took off her dress, and Aunt Zhu walked up to her with a red light veil as thin as a cicada's wings.

Her face changed, and she shouted coldly: "Zhuqing, come over with another one." ”

Aunt Zhu hesitated with the light veil, and whispered: "Queen Mother, this is the bedding for the queen's wedding night in the past." ”

Ming Ran waved his hand, "Take it down, this palace can't wear it." ”

Her face was slightly cold, and her back was to Aunt Zhu.

Aunt Zhu looked embarrassed, and finally withdrew with a light gauze shirt.

Zhuqing changed her into a red brocade veil, which was thin but suitable.

After changing his clothes, Ming Ran stood in the cabinet in the beaded curtain, unable to step out for a long time.

She lowered her face.

"Mother." Zhuqing walked up to her and reminded her loudly, with a little worry in his tone.

Mingran looked at her, curled the corners of her lips, and smiled bitterly. Take a step and walk slowly outside.

The palace maid in the room has withdrawn from the house, leaving only Aunt Zhu standing next to the wedding couch.

Ming Ran sorted out his emotions, mustered up his courage, and walked to the wedding couch and sat down.

Aunt Zhu glanced at Zhuqing, the two looked at each other, walked to the front and cut out the candle in the room, leaving only one on the high wooden shelf next to the wedding couch, and then the two bowed down and exited the room and closed the door gently.

The room was silent, and the only candle flame flickered slightly, reflecting the brightly dyed faces.

Xiao Yiqian's hand followed the edge of the couch and held Mingran's hand.

There was a lot of fine sweat in his palms, and his brightly dyed hands were cold and piercing.

Xiao Yiqian suddenly came to his senses, pressed the heat in his heart, and looked at her sideways, "I have drunk a few more cups, go to bed and rest first, you are also tired today, go to bed early." ”

He looked at her and smiled, got up and went to the bed, leaving a quilt, turned sideways and inward, closed his eyes and slept.

Mingran was stunned, she imagined countless reasons to reject him in her heart, but she didn't want to, she was simply overthinking.

She secretly despised herself.

Lying on the couch, I pulled the quilt and closed it, and looked at the red yarn on the top of the tent, and my thoughts wandered.

I don't know when, the candle burns out, the candle flame goes out, the bright eyes gradually become heavy, and drowsiness hits.

She closed her eyes quietly.

"King Chen, please go on the expedition tonight." Xiao Yiqian's words suddenly sounded in the dark room.

Ming Ran opened his eyes suddenly, Xiao Yichen is going to go on the expedition?

She pondered this sentence in her mind, her eyes widened, and she looked sideways at Xiao Yiqian's back, there was no light in the room, she looked at the black shadow, and asked in a low voice, "Going on the expedition?" ”

"Yes, he asked for an order to send troops to Jiangguo."

Jiang Guo intended to provoke a war between the Celestial Empire and the Li State, and she had long heard that all the ministers in the court were in favor of annihilating Jiang Guo, but no one was willing to lead troops to the battle.

Listening to Ning Yuanhou, Mu Xu wanted to take over the matter, but was stopped by Mu Zhiyan.

Although the Celestial Empire is strong and strong, after all, it is to attack a country, and the danger is self-evident. What's more, Xiao Yichen has never gone to war or led soldiers to fight.

Suddenly leading troops to fight, not to mention the danger on the front line, just because King Chen has no combat experience, it is not easy for him to win this battle.

Mingran's heart was blank for a while, what purpose did Xiao Yichen have?

Is it for the sake of military power?

Xiao Yiqian turned around, "I haven't agreed yet." ”

"Would you agree, then?" Mingran asked in a whisper.

Xiao Yiqian was silent for a while, "Do you want me to agree?" ”

Ming Ran didn't know how to answer.

Of course, she didn't want him to send troops, but if she said this, what would Xiao Yiqian think?

For a long time, except for the faint breath on the couch, Ming Ran fell silent.

Xiao Yiqian opened his eyes and waited quietly for her answer.

Although he had already decided to agree to Xiao Yichen's request, he still wanted to know how Ming Ran would choose. Hearing that Xiao Yichen was leaving, would she be sad? Will you be reluctant?

"This is a matter of the court, and it is inconvenient for the concubines to say more." Her cold voice, as if without a trace of emotion, was indifferent.

"I'll give you what you propose." Xiao Yiqian didn't give up and wanted to hear her earnest answer.

She pondered for a while and prepared to tell the truth, "King Chen has never been to the frontier, and the terrain is unfamiliar, and when attacking Jiangguo, the first thing to do is to capture it in one fell swoop, and it is not appropriate to fight for a long time, so send a familiar ......."

Xiao Yiqian didn't want to listen any longer, and immediately interrupted: "I have already decided, there is no one in the court, since King Chen has chosen to go on the expedition, it is not impossible to send him to go through the training." ”

"But the emperor ......"

"I've made up my mind." Xiao Yiqian's voice was indifferent and he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Ming Ran also wanted to give a few words of advice, she was not only worried about whether King Chen's troops could return from defeat, she thought more about King Chen's purpose this time, she felt that he was running for military power.

Sending troops to Jiangguo means handing over the power of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to him, and with his planning, once these hundreds of thousands of troops are in his hands, if he doesn't want to hand them back, then he must have a way to control the military power.

Thinking of the dislike in Xiao Yiqian's heart, he had to give up persuasion.

Ming Ran sighed softly, turned his back to Xiao Yiqian, and felt sad in his heart.

Xiao Yichen suddenly asked to leave, and he would not return to Beijing for at least a few years, so he left.

That's it...... Let's go.

She closed her eyes, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, falling onto the pillow, unable to see a trace in the night.

"I intend to finalize his marriage to the daughter of Luamber before he sets out on his expedition."

"King Chen goes on an expedition, life and death are unpredictable, if the emperor gives a marriage contract...... she paused, and sighed: "In case he is on the battlefield...... If she can't come back, this marriage contract will bind Miss Guo's family, she is in her prime, and she shouldn't disappear in vain Shaohua and someone who can't give her stability. ”

She covered her mouth and tried not to cry.

Xiao Yiqian heard the abnormality in her words, and didn't want to upset her, "I listened to Dye'er." ”

He wanted to hug her, but looking at her back, he didn't dare to reach out and hug her.

In fact, it is not only her physical and mental suffering, but he is the same, he does not dare to touch it, he does not dare to lose, he can only guard it carefully, looking forward to everything returning to the beginning.

But he didn't know that the owner of this body had already changed his soul, and he was no longer the woman with Xiao Yiqian's eyes full of heart.
