"It's over, I haven't met the Queen Mother yet." Xu Qingyan was about to get out of bed, who knows, as soon as his foot stepped on the pedal, his lower body throbbed.

Xu Qingyan couldn't help but exclaim, "Ouch."

Xia Chan hurriedly supported Xu Qingyan, "Niangniang, you better lie down first, Your Majesty ordered when he left, he has already told the Queen Mother, Niangniang, you have been tired all the way, have a good rest today, and go to see the Queen Mother tomorrow." ”

In fact, whether it was caused by the fatigue of the carriage and horses, or whether it was caused by someone eating bones and knowing the marrow last night, both Lu Zexiu and Xu Qingyan knew it.

"Beast!" Xu Qingyan couldn't help but snort, why she couldn't get up, it wasn't all because of him.

"Mother, you can't say that." Xia Chan's face changed in fright, and when he left, Xu Ge repeatedly explained that when he arrived in Beirong, he must be cautious in his words and deeds.

"Niangniang, this is the Beirong Palace, if someone hears what you say, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Xu Qingyan didn't care, and waved his hand, "This palace knows." Xia Cicada, this palace is so hungry, you go and prepare some food. ”

As she spoke, she touched her stomach, she hadn't eaten much on the road, and yesterday she tossed for another day, and last night's madness, she was really hungry, her stomach was flattened.

Xia Chan smiled and said: "Niangniang, please wait a moment, Your Majesty has already ordered, saying that Niangniang will definitely cry hungry when she wakes up, so ask the slave maid to make your favorite lotus leaf porridge, and the slave maid will bring it to you." ”

In the days when he was preparing for marriage, Lu Zexiu ran to Xu's house a lot, and he had already inquired about Xu Qingyan's preferences clearly, what she liked to eat, what color clothes she liked, he knew it clearly.

Xu Qingyan smiled, "He still has a conscience." ”

"Niangniang, slave maid, look, Your Majesty loves Niangniang very much." Xia Cicada also laughed. Thinking of the words that His Majesty instructed when he left early this morning, they were all sympathetic to the queen, and Xia Chan was also happy for the queen in her heart.

"Okay, why don't you go and bring lotus leaf porridge to the palace." Xu Qingyan glanced at her.

Xia Chan covered her mouth and snickered, "The slave maid is going here, don't move around, wait for the slave and maid to come back and wait for you to freshen up, this is also what Your Majesty has explained." After that, he left.

Xu Qingyan sat on the bed, holding a brocade quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the corners of her lips were gently raised......

After a while, Xia Chan brought lotus leaf porridge and waited for Xu Qingyan to freshen up and dress, and then served her for dinner, but Xu Qingyan didn't use much.

"Niangniang, is it not delicious that the slave maid makes?" Xia Chan frowned slightly, Niangniang used to like to eat lotus leaf porridge, why didn't she eat it after using a small bowl today? She couldn't help but suspect that she didn't make it delicious, so it was really hard for the mother to swallow.

Xu Qingyan shook his head, "No, it's delicious, it's just that it's time for lunch in a while, if I eat too much at this time, I won't be able to eat lunch." She was hungry, but she knew that if she filled her stomach by this time, she would not be able to eat lunch.

Xia Chan suddenly realized, "It's the slave who is stupid, the mother wants to have lunch with His Majesty, and she can't eat too much at this time." ”

"You're smart." Xu Qingyan scolded her.

Xia Chan smiled and said, "Niangniang, what do you want to eat for lunch, the slave will prepare." ”

Before Xu Qingyan finished speaking, a palace maid came to report that the happy father-in-law beside His Majesty asked to see his mother.

"Hurry up and invite Grandpa Xi to come in." Xu Qingyan immediately commanded.

After a while, I saw my father-in-law walk in and bow to Xu Qingyan, "The slave has seen the queen's mother." ”

"Father-in-law Xi doesn't have to be polite, get up and speak." Xu Qingyan waved his hand at him and motioned for him to flatten.

After getting Xu Qingyan's reply, Gonggong Xi got up, "Niangniang, Your Majesty is handling official business in the imperial study, let the servants come to see Niangniang, have you gotten up, in addition, Your Majesty will come to have lunch with Niangniang in a while." ”

When Father-in-law Xi spoke, he was half-bowed, and his attitude was extremely respectful. He is an old man who serves His Majesty, but he knows clearly that the Queen Mother is His Majesty's heart, but he has to be careful.

"Niangniang, I don't know what you want to use for lunch, but do you want to use some Dayue dishes? The servants may command the men to prepare. ”

Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "When I first came to Beirong in this palace, I want to taste the dishes of Beirong, and your majesty can prepare whatever you eat on weekdays." ”

Father-in-law Xi got the order, and hurriedly nodded in response, "The slave understands, then the slave will go and order someone to prepare." ”

Xu Qingyan nodded, and said with a smile to Gonggong Xi: "This palace and Your Majesty are newly married, and you should also be happy, Xia Chan, go and get some refreshments brought by this palace from Dayue and give them to Gonggong Xi." ”

Gonggong Xi hurriedly smiled and thanked: "The slave thanks the queen for the reward, and the slave will retire." ”

At noon, the law was indeed here.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty." Xu Qingyan saluted him according to the rules.

Lu Zexiu nodded and helped her up with his own hands, "Get up quickly." ”

Xu Qingyan grinned at him, then turned to the palace people and ordered, "You all go down." ”

When everyone in the palace left, Xu Qingyan took Lu Zexiu's hand and said with a smile, "Brother Xiu, you're back." ”

The law trimmed his eyebrows slightly, and I have to say that it is still this sound of Brother Xiu, which is comfortable to listen to.

"What? Missed me? ”

Xu Qingyan pursed his mouth, "When I wake up, you're not there." There was a hint of loneliness in his words.

Law Zexiu's heart softened, took her hand and sat down, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Yan Yan, I was supposed to accompany you today, but I have been away for too long, and there is a backlog of official affairs in the DPRK, I have to deal with it, I will definitely accompany you tomorrow, okay?" ”

Xu Qingyan shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, Brother Xiu, you should spend more time dealing with official business these days, you are the emperor, and the responsibility on your body is not small, Yan Yan understands." ”

"Good girl." Lu Zexiu stroked her little hand, and her heart was soft, "Okay, listen to you, I have worked hard to handle my official business in the past few days, and then I will accompany you well." ”

Xu Qingyan smiled and nodded obediently, "Okay, Yan Yan is waiting for Brother Xiu." ”

Lu Zexiu looked at her and smiled like a flower, and the corners of his lips were also raised, "Yan Yan, I told the queen mother, you will visit her again tomorrow." ”

"Queen Mother, oh, no, is she fierce after the Queen Mother?" Xu Qingyan asked cautiously.

Lu Zexiu smiled, "Don't worry, the queen mother is a very good person, she is very sensible, you don't have to worry." If you are afraid, I will be with you then. ”

Xu Qingyan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Brother Xiu, you should go and get busy with you, I'll just go and see the queen mother myself, didn't you just say it, the queen mother is a very good person to get along with." ”

As early as when he left Dayue, Xu Ge Lao told Xu Qingyan all the news he knew about Beirong, and the Empress Dowager Beirong was said to be kind and not difficult to get along with. Today, Lu Zexiu also said the same, and Xu Qingyan also had confidence in his heart.

However, she remembered another thing, that is, the concubines of the law and the law, and one of them was the crown princess who was established when the law was the prince.

Speaking of which, it should be the wife of the law and the law. The crown princess's surname is He, and her maiden name is Shiyun, and later Lu Zexiu ascended the throne as the emperor and named her a concubine.

"Brother Xiu, according to the rules, since I am the queen, I will accept the visit of the harem concubines tomorrow. I heard that there is a concubine He in the harem, and she is very pleasing to you, right? ”

Lu Zexiu was a little embarrassed, "Yan Yan, don't think nonsense, Concubine He Guifei was indeed my crown princess in the past, but I accepted her as a concubine at that time, also to consolidate the status of the crown prince." ”

"Having said that, but in the end, she is also the person you used to marry, you only met me later, speaking of which, I seem to have come to ...... later" Xu Qingyan lowered his head slightly.

Lu Zexiu gently stroked the back of her hand, and said softly: "Yan Yan, you don't have to feel any guilt, from beginning to end, the only person I love is you, I am the emperor, how can I not make my beloved woman the queen." ”

Hearing him say that he loved her, Xu Qingyan bent his eyebrows, and he couldn't hide his smile.

"Besides, I didn't treat her badly, I made her a concubine, and treated the He family well, it was originally a political marriage, and I gave her enough rewards."

Lu Zexiu didn't think that he had mistreated He Guifei, he gave her enough in return, and he had said when he made her the crown princess that he married her to consolidate his power.

Xu Qingyan nodded, "I understand, Brother Xiu, let's eat quickly, otherwise the dishes will be cold." ”

Hearing what Lu Zexiu said, she also had a bottom in her heart.

……

The next day, Xu Qingyan got up early this time, and then went to see the Empress Dowager Beirong.

"The concubine asked the queen mother to say goodbye, and the concubine was really tired yesterday, so she couldn't come to the queen mother to say goodbye, and ask the queen mother to forgive her sins." Because it was the first time to formally ask for peace, Xu Qingyan made a big gift.

The Empress Dowager Beirong smiled gently and gave her a hand, "The queen invites you to get up, come here, give me a seat." ”

Immediately, someone from the palace brought a brocade stool, and Xu Qingyan thanked the Empress Dowager Beirong before sitting down.

"Yesterday, Xiu'er sent someone to tell the mourning family that it's all Xiu'er's nonsense, don't do your business, you don't have to apologize." The Empress Dowager Beirong's tone is gentle, and her words and deeds are not everyone's style, neither too friendly nor harsh.

"Why are you here alone today, why didn't Your Majesty come with you?" Empress Dowager Beirong asked.

Xu Qingyan smiled softly, "Please also ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness, Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs recently, and state affairs are important, so the concubine came alone." ”

She never mentioned that she asked Lu Zexiu not to accompany her, originally according to the rules, the queen asked the queen mother for the first time, and the emperor should also come with her, which also showed that the emperor valued the queen. If she guessed correctly, these queen mothers should have known a long time ago.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "You are not very old, but you are sensible." ”

knows how to be sympathetic to his husband, but he does not invite credit, and is both sensible and humble.
