Chapter 694: The Empress Leaves the Palace

Especially the queen's costume, the head of the twelve phoenix step swing, this phoenix hairpin is decorated with peacock feathers, and the tail is only the queen of the middle palace can use the east pearl.

The robe is embroidered with the sound of the phoenix, and the two phoenixes are entangled, as if people can hear the sound of the phoenix soaring in the sky.

The clothes and ornaments of this body, beautiful and luxurious but not public, are indeed drawings drawn with great care, which are very suitable for Xiao Man, Lu Li can imagine how radiant Xiao Man will be with the twelve bright phoenix hairpins.

But although he is the emperor, he can't make a decision after thinking about the queen's costumes, and he has to ask Xiao Manman if he is not satisfied.

So he first asked the Ministry of Rites to wait for a day, and he took the style drawn by the Ministry of Rites to Xiaoman's bedroom.

To say that Xiaoman has just entered the palace, it is very unaccustomed, although the room of the Lu Mansion is a little smaller, but the environment is beautiful, looking out of the window, there are flowers and trees, full of vitality, you can also hear the sound of birds in the early morning, and there are many plants planted by themselves on the corridor.

But the dormitory in the palace is not like this, although the painting is carved beams, the glass lamp is always bright, and the palace is luxurious, but at a glance it is empty, and it looks very lonely.

After Lu Li came, the palace people naturally greeted them immediately, to say that these two had just entered the palace, they couldn't figure out what Lu Li and Xiaoman's temper was, they only felt that the future queen's personality was quite gentle.

Unlike the previous queens, who were short-tempered, if they were angry, they would treat the palace people harshly, and they felt blessed to meet such a queen.

Seeing Lu Li come to his dormitory, Xiao Man was naturally very happy, seeing that Lu Li was in good spirits after ascending the throne, thinking that he already had a plan for the future of Donglan Kingdom in his heart, he was ready to spread his wings and make great plans.

After Lu Li entered the palace, Pearl immediately brought him tea.

Xiao Man looked at the album in Lu Li's hand, and asked curiously, "Lu Li, what is it in your hand?" ”

Lu Li unfolded the album, put it on the table, and showed it to Xiaoman, to say that Su Xiaoman just saw the clothes on it, the whole person was stunned, she had never seen such gorgeous clothes.

"This is the costume that the officials just sent to the throne, what do you think?"

Hearing Lu Li say this, Xiao Man's smile suddenly disappeared, she was already worried about one thing in her heart, just when Lu Li came to see her, Xiao Man had a kind of courage in her heart, ready to explain her thoughts to Lu Li clearly today.

So Xiao Man blushed and said slowly to Lu Li: "Lu Li, you sit down first, I have something to tell you." ”

Lu Li didn't expect that on such a festive day, Su Xiaoman looked extremely sad, and he didn't know what made her unhappy, and he always felt a little flustered when he sat down.

"Xiaoman, what's the matter, is this phoenix hairpin or the dress not to your liking?"

Xiaoban shook his head, if he wanted to say that this dress and phoenix hairpin were extraordinarily gorgeous, how could he be dissatisfied, but such a luxurious thing was not what he really wanted.

"Lu Li, I don't want to be your queen."

When Lu Li heard this, the tea bowl in his hand was also frightened, only to see that the tea water had spilled on Lu Li's clothes, which frightened the pearl.

Pearl hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped Lu Li's clothes, absorbing the excess water.

Xiao Man saw that Lu Li was so surprised, and he also knew that what he said was inappropriate, so he waved his hand and said to Pearl: "Pearl, you go out first, I have something to say to Lu Li." ”

Su Xiaoman first clenched Lu Li's hand, so that he could calm down, lest what he said later scare him again.

But Lu Li was obviously a little flustered now, he didn't expect that after he became the Ninety-Five Venerable, what he was waiting for was Su Xiaoman's refusal, and his heart seemed to be cut in half by a knife.

If Xiaoman is unwilling to be his own queen, then what's the point of competing for the throne by himself, do you want to let yourself be alone in that supreme position, lonely for a lifetime?

"Xiaoman, what do you mean, is it that I have been busy with the affairs of the court these days and have snubbed you, so you are unhappy?"

Hearing Lu Li say this, with a childish expression on his face, Su Xiaoman seemed to feel that he was not like a high emperor at this moment, but very cute.

Su Xiaoman explained: "No, you are busy with things in the court, this is a normal thing, how can I blame you, it's just that I don't want to be a queen and waste my life in the palace." ”

Hearing Su Xiaoman say this, Lu Li already understood what Su Xiaoman wanted in his heart.

Su Xiaoman has been working hard for the imperial examination before, and now this imperial examination is about to begin, if Su Xiaoman becomes the queen at this moment, then how can she participate in the imperial examination as a candidate.

Naturally, he wanted to fulfill Su Xiaoman's wish, but if Su Xiaoman was really admitted to the imperial examination and became a court official, how should he face her?

Seeing Lu Li's hesitant and tangled eyes, Xiao Man knew Lu Li's struggle at the moment, so she gently hugged Lu Li and expressed her love for Lu Li with wordless actions.

"Lu Li, I don't want to leave you, it's just that I don't want to stand by your side as a deep lady, I want to be a useful person, when I'm strong enough, I can help you create a prosperous world, this is my wish, I hope you can tolerate my willfulness."

After listening to what Xiao Man said, Lu Li had a soft and sour look on his face, but with infinite love.

Lu Li thought about it in his heart, to say that Xiao Man had paid too much for him since he married him, and at this time, Xiao Man only had this little wish, how could he not satisfy her.

So Lu Li held Xiao Man's hand and asked, "Then Xiao Man, when are you willing to return to me?" ”

Xiao Man pursed the corners of his mouth, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes, and said lightly: "When we bring Donglan Kingdom into a prosperous and prosperous era, when the imperial court no longer needs me, I will return to you." ”

Lu Li clenched his fists and secretly decided that since this day came, it meant that Xiao Man would return to his side, then he would work the throne to make this day come earlier.

So he sighed, and touched Su Xiaoman's face with his hand again, trying to remember the residual touch and temperature of his fingertips, as if expressing his reluctance.

After all, if Su Xiaoman left the palace, it would be a little difficult for them to meet, and he didn't know how to get rid of his lovesickness for Su Xiaoman in this long night in the future.

"Okay, Xiaoman, since this is your wish, I support you in pursuing it, but you have to remember to write to me from time to time, and if you have time, you have to go back to the palace to see me and Wangshu, okay?"

Xiao Man naturally nodded, to say that Lu Li and Wangshu were two pieces of flesh and blood that could not be separated from her, how could she leave them.

After discussing this matter, Lu Li walked to the door and opened the door, and in an instant, the air seemed to be heavy.

When the palace people came to Xinjun's appearance, they naturally felt a little puzzled, thinking that Lu Li was still full of energy and joy when he entered the hall just now, why did he seem a little lost at this time.

Only Pearl knew Su Xiaoman's intentions, thinking that Su Xiaoman had already made it clear to Lu Li, but Lu Li was just a little reluctant at this time.

Lu Li slowly said to the palace people: "You help the queen mother pack her luggage and send her back to the Lu mansion." ”

These palace people looked at each other, their bodies trembled, and they didn't know whether they should carry out Lu Li's order, to say that the queen left the palace, but it was a precedent that Donglan Kingdom had never had.

These palace people didn't dare to speak, so they naturally set their eyes on Pearl, after all, Pearl is the eldest aunt next to the queen, so she naturally has the weight to speak.

But Pearl didn't have any extra questions, just walked in silently, stood beside Su Xiaoman and asked, "Queen Mother, do you want to see what things you need to bring back to the Lu Mansion?" ”

Su Xiaoman whispered a few words in Pearl's ear, explaining clearly what she wanted to bring back to the Lu Mansion, Lu Li saw Xiao Man, and resolutely left the queen's palace.

He was afraid that if he stayed for a long time, he would immediately collapse if he tried his best to restrain himself, for fear that he would forcibly tie Xiao Man to his side if he cared about and missed such selfish desires.

Pearl thought that they were all quick people, so they led a few little palace maids to the apse to pack up their things, to say that when these little palace maids picked up Su Xiaoman's clothes, they felt that their hands were trembling a little, as if they were doing something bad.

The matter of the queen's departure from the palace spread throughout the court and the opposition in just half a day, and the government and the opposition were naturally very shocked, only to see that all the five books except for the criminal department were gathered in the upper study.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is quite old, and he naturally hates such a thing that deviates from the rules, so he said to Lu Li: "Your Majesty, it's too foolish for you to do this, you let the queen mother leave the palace, what kind of system is this, if you don't have the queen by your side when you ascend the throne, this... It's not etiquette! ”

Lu Li frowned, he naturally knew in his heart that this was not in line with the rules of the ancestors, but he also thought that the rules were set by people, and he might not be able to change this rule for Xiaoman.

The military department Shangshu next to him also said to Lu Li: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate for you to let the queen mother leave the palace, and the queen mother will participate in the imperial examination in the future, this has simply become a joke in Donglan Kingdom, and now everyone in Donglan Country is paying attention to this matter, which is related to the dignity of the royal family, please think twice." ”

Lu Li looked at these Shangshu, and they actually had to denounce themselves.
