In the letter, it was nothing more than a mention of the recent gossip in the city, and the suggestion of the old monk Wang was exactly the same as her father's meaning, which was also to make Yan Lingyue nod and take a concubine for Zhou Ziyu.

Wang Laoju also deliberately criticized Yan Lingyue for being short-sighted, saying that if you want to be the queen and mother of the world, in addition to winning the king's favor, it is more important to convince people with virtue, to be virtuous and virtuous, and to be a model for women in the world. Now that she has ruined her good reputation, how will she be the mother of the world in the future.

From the content of the letter, it can be seen that Mr. Wang was very angry.

Yan Lingyue can not listen to Yan Yiran, but she can't not listen to Wang Laoju, she can't let Wang Laoju down. Looking at the black and white words on the letter, Yan Lingyue's hand clenched tightly into a fist, and she was irritable in her heart.

"Mama Li, let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden," Yan Lingyue took a deep breath and stood up.

I wanted to go to the Imperial Garden to relax, but I didn't think about it, but I met the former crown princess Lin Manqing halfway. Since the crown prince Zhou Zichang was arrested, Yan Lingyue hadn't seen Lin Manqing for a long time.

Just when Yan Lingyue was looking at Lin Manqing, she had already opened her mouth, "I heard that my younger brother and sister were unwell a few days ago, have you been feeling better recently?" ”

"Second Emperor Lao's sister-in-law is worried, Yue'er is fine," Yan Lingyue hooked her lips.

Lin Manqing's gaze fell on Yan Lingyue's stomach, "In this royal family, mothers have always valued children. My younger siblings are lucky, they are pregnant so soon, so they should take care of themselves carefully. ”

"What the second imperial sister-in-law said," Yan Lingyue replied with a smile.

"Wait for another two years, brother and sister, you will know, it is better to rely on no one than on yourself. Especially a man's love is even more unreliable," Lin Manqing suddenly sighed, patted Yan Lingyue's shoulder, and left.

Seeing Lin Manqing walking away, Mama Li said, "The second prince is in prison, and I feel that the second princess is not very sad. ”

Yan Lingyue raised her eyebrows.

Mama Li said, "At that time, the Nine Emperors fell off the cliff, look at how haggard you are, Miss." Look at the current second princess, her face is ruddy, her eyebrows and eyes are full of smiles, where it seems that there is sorrow. ”

"Mama is looking carefully," Yan Lingyue smiled when she heard this. glanced at Lin Manqing's back, and sighed, she could say that a man's love is unreliable, presumably she was once full of hope for Zhou Zichang, but in the end she was disappointed.

Regardless of whether Zhou Ziyu wants to marry Duan Nianyun or not, he should be embarrassed at this moment. Queen Xiao has worried about his heart for most of his life, and now he has just recovered his sanity and disobeyed Queen Xiao like this, which is indeed unfilial. But in the same way, Yan Lingyue knew that Zhou Ziyu didn't want to hurt her heart because of this matter.

She loves Zhou Ziyu, she doesn't want Zhou Ziyu to be embarrassed, but she doesn't want Zhou Ziyu to marry another woman. But is this really something she can dodge? Just like her father said, even if there is no Duan Nianyun, there will be other women. It is impossible for her to let Zhou Ziyu only guard her in this life. If one day in the future, Zhou Ziyu really inherits the throne, then there will be three thousand beauties in the harem, will she stop it? Since you can't stop it, you can only try to accept it.

No matter how heartache it is, she chose this path, so she can only grit her teeth and go on.

That night, Yan Lingyue did not go to bed early as usual, but leaned on the head of the bed and waited until Zhou Ziyu came back.

Since the Queen Mother's 100-day sacrifice, King Zhou let Zhou Ziyu go to the military camp. I went out early in the morning and sometimes came back late. According to Wang Laojushi, King Zhou was deliberately cultivating Zhou Ziyu.

In fact, Zhou Ziyu can live in the barracks, but in order to accompany Yan Lingyue, no matter how busy he is, he will come back. Even if sometimes when he came back, Yan Lingyue was already asleep, and when he left in the morning, Yan Lingyue hadn't woken up yet. Even if he can't say anything, he'll still come back.

He wanted to use practical actions to make Yan Lingyue feel at ease.

Zhou Ziyu's efforts, Yan Lingyue saw it in her eyes. It was precisely because she saw it in her eyes that she couldn't bear to continue to ignore it like this. Although the people in the city were talking about how bad she was, Yan Lingyue knew that Zhou Ziyu's pressure was greater than hers. He was doing his best to create a comfortable living environment for her.

Through the dim light, watching Zhou Ziyu take off his coat, watching him go to the bath, and watching him wipe his hair and walk towards her, Yan Lingyue smiled and reached out to take the handkerchief in his hand, "Are you tired?" Do you want Mama Li to bring some food again? ”

"I've eaten in the barracks," Zhou Ziyu kissed Yan Lingyue's head and touched her stomach again, "Why did you sleep so late today?" ”

"Of course I'm waiting for you," After drying Zhou Ziyu's hair, Yan Lingyue got up and put the handkerchief back on the face stand.

Looking at Yan Lingyue's slightly plump figure, Zhou Ziyu half-leaned on the bed and stretched out his arms to her.

Yan Lingyue's heart warmed, and she couldn't help but speed up her pace. The moment they embraced, the two of them trembled together. Since Yan Lingyue's fever this time, the two have really not hugged each other for a long time.

Yan Lingyue lay on Zhou Ziyu's neck and shoulders and took a deep breath.

Zhou Ziyu kissed Yan Lingyue's neck, for a long time, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Yue'er." I'm really sorry, if it weren't for me, how could you be so criticized. ”

Yan Lingyue shook her head, pushed away Zhou Ziyu's embrace, dropped the bed curtain, and went to bed again.

"Yue'er," Zhou Ziyu suddenly lost her heart, and subconsciously clenched her hand.

Yan Lingyue hooked her lips and smiled, and fell into his arms, "It has nothing to do with the Nine Emperor Princes, it's all Ling Yue's fault." It was Ling Yue who shouldn't have delusional thoughts about monopolizing the Nine Emperor Princes, it was Ling Yue who was selfish. ”

Zhou Ziyu was stunned in place, "Yue'er, you ......"

Yan Lingyue covered Zhou Ziyu's mouth, "I heard that the queen mother has had a headache recently and is recuperating in bed, if marrying Duan Nianyun can make the queen mother feel comfortable, then I choose to retreat." ”

"Yue'er doesn't want the Nine Emperors to be embarrassed, and she doesn't want to see the Nine Emperors frown," Yan Lingyue gently smoothed Zhou Ziyu's frowning brows little by little, "Knowing that the Nine Emperors don't like Duan Nianyun and don't want to marry her, the Nine Emperors are so good to Yue'er, Yue'er is really moved." But Yue'er can't rely on the love of the Nine Emperors to make the queen mother sad. ”

"Yue'er! It's me, not you, that makes the queen sad. It's my own ...... that I don't want to marry Duan Nianyun."

"Don't say it again," before Zhou Ziyu finished speaking, Yan Lingyue interrupted him, looked him in the eye and said, "For the queen mother to be at ease, and for the people to stop talking about it, why don't the Nine Emperor Princes come down." ”

Zhou Ziyu listened, his eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.

Yan Lingyue's tears burst out of her eyes, "Even if Yue'er begs for the Nine Emperor Princes......"

After this night, news came out that the Nine Emperor Princes had agreed to marry Duan Nianyun. For a time, there was an uproar in the city. Everyone sighed that the Nine Emperor Princesses couldn't bear the pressure and agreed.

Those long-tongued women who said that Yan Lingyue was ruthless at the beginning, now they began to say that Yan Lingyue was pitiful. Anyway, everyone was watching the movement with their eyes open.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a will to come out of the palace, saying that the Nine Emperor Princes were going to accept Duan Nianyun as a side concubine.

In the front hall of Duan Mansion, the moment Duan Nianyun received the holy decree, his whole person was refreshed. Second Master Duan and the Li family were also very happy, and stuffed a big bag for the father-in-law who came to issue the decree.

Old General Duan snorted coldly, ignored them, and went back to his own courtyard with his hands behind his back. If it weren't for the fact that Duan Nianyun is daughter's family, General Duan would have driven her out of the Duan Mansion with the second room.

In the Weiyang Palace, Queen Xiao, who had been ill for a few days, was cured of her illness and was able to get out of bed after King Zhou issued the holy decree. also instructed Mama Zhou to send Yan Lingyue a large cup of tonic soup, so that she could replenish her body.

Looking at the greasy soup on the table, Yan Lingyue felt nauseous in her stomach, and immediately vomited.

Mama Li, who watched it, was distressed, "This Queen Xiao is really, knowing that you can't smell oily Miss, I still have to let you drink these tonic products." ”

Because of that bowl of tonic soup, Yan Lingyue was uncomfortable all afternoon, and she didn't even eat much dinner.

That night, Zhou Ziyu did not return to Ming Hanxuan, and did not come back for three days after that. You must know that since getting married, Zhou Ziyu has never been home at night.

Even Mama Li was anxious, "Miss, are you in conflict with the Nine Emperor Princes?" Do you want Mama to send someone to the barracks to inquire about the situation? ”

Yan Lingyue didn't seem to hear it, and only focused on making the little clothes in her hands.

Seeing her own young lady's appearance, Mama Li sighed heavily. In his heart, he asked Duan Nianyun's ancestors and eight generations, if it weren't for Duan Nianyun, how could they have a conflict with the Nine Emperor Princes?

Just when Zhou Ziyu didn't return to the palace on the fifth day, Queen Xiao couldn't sit still and brought Mama Zhou to Ming Hanxuan.

At that time, Yan Lingyue was reading a book on the soft couch.

"Yue'er has seen the queen mother," seeing that King Xiao was coming back, Yan Lingyue put down the book, got up and saluted.

Queen Xiao, who used to be busy helping her up when she saw Yan Lingyue saluting, didn't say anything today, just glanced at her lightly, walked to the main seat and sat down.

"I heard that Ziyu hasn't been back for a few days?" After taking a sip of tea, Queen Xiao asked.

Yan Lingyue nodded, "The training in the military camp is quite hard, and it is sometimes midnight when I rush back to the palace, the Nine Emperor Princes understand that Yue'er is pregnant, and Yue'er also feels sorry for the Nine Emperor Princes for their hard work back and forth, so they discussed letting the Nine Emperor Princes live in the military camp for a period of time." ”

"Really?" Queen Xiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "As long as it's not a contradiction." Ziyu is already working very hard in the military camp, if you can't rest in peace when you return to Ming Hanxuan, it will be a dereliction of duty for you as a wife. ”

"The queen mother's lesson is," Yan Lingyue leaned over slightly in response.

Queen Xiao sighed, "Yue Yatou will soon be a mother, and I can understand the hard work of being a mother when I think about it." This palace works day and night, and everything you think is planning for you. ”
