At this time, it was close to the curfew, and the surrounding area of the imperial city was silent, but thirty miles outside the city was the sound of soldiers and iron horses, and even if the military order was suddenly received, the army did not see a trace of panic. The soldiers in the armor were already ready to go, just waiting for the commander's order.

"Your Highness, all the 104,218 soldiers of the Xuanjia Army are here, please give your Royal Highness an order!"

Because it was outside the city, Haoyue was in the air, and Pei Zhao's voice was also very clear: "Lin Bu took 30,000 soldiers to ambush here, remember, you can stop most of Pei Yu's soldiers and horses, but you must leave thousands of people to enter the palace with Pei Yu." He Chu took 30,000 soldiers to sneak into Tianjing, and made peace with Xiao Zhan, the general of Jinwu, to control the situation in Beijing, and the rest of the people were led by Shi Zhaoyun to wait here. ”

The Xuanjia Army has always had strict military discipline, and all the soldiers began to deploy in an orderly manner after receiving the order, Nangong Lie saw Pei Zhao's face and knew that he had something very important to order, so he stepped forward with his sword and asked in a low voice: "Please make it clear to Your Highness." ”

"Pei Yu's soldiers are a mess of loose sand, this king is worried that they will cause trouble when they kill red eyes, you lead two hundred people into the palace to guard Hanyuan Hall and Chaoyang Palace, if she is missing a hair, I will ask you!"

Nangong Lie has been by Pei Zhao's side for the longest time, knows Pei Zhao's mind best, and knows that he values that person, so he didn't dare to be sloppy, and immediately summoned his most powerful centurion to order, but he was still a little puzzled in his heart: "Chaoyang Palace is His Majesty's dormitory, why does His Highness ......?"

"If it weren't for tonight, I wouldn't need to deploy next to the Chaoyang Palace."

Pei Zhao smiled faintly. Looking into the distance, a little star-like light can be vaguely seen at the end of the boundless night, that is Daming Palace, I don't know if Su Ying is in Chaoyang Hall or Hanyuan Palace at this time, what is she doing?

Hanyuan Hall is bright, the ground is covered with thick and soft felt, stepping on it quietly and silently, Su Ying tiptoed into the inner hall, but Duan Niang brought a group of female officials Gong E to meet her, and knelt down from afar: "Slave maid, please Queen Niangniang." ”

Every time she made a mistake, Duan Niang was always like this, and even tearfully let herself give her the death penalty, she was really scared, and hurriedly helped Duan Niang up and said: "Oh, I didn't come back before the unitary time."

Duan Niang was very strange today, and she didn't seem to blame her at all, but coaxed her very gently: "The queen mother has been very obedient recently, and she ...... tonight" In the middle of the words, she turned her head and ordered happily: "What are you doing one by one, and you don't wait for the mother to bathe and change clothes?" ”

Before Su Ying could figure out the situation, she was surrounded by a group of Gong E's into the inner room, the hot water was so thick that she took a nap, and finally finished washing, her eyes could hardly be opened, but every time she was about to fall asleep, Gong E would always pull her hair, comb left and right, and comb it into a bun that could not be higher, forcing her to raise her neck straight all the time. Then the left and right three layers put clothes on her, she looked at the clothes, the gorgeous alizarin red embroidered with the phoenix dance for nine days, with Zhai as the feather, decorated with eight treasures, and her heart became more and more puzzled: "What do you do with Zhai clothes in a good manner?" ”

Duan Niang put on makeup for her with a happy face: "Tonight is my mother's big day." After applying swallow fat, taking a closer look, and pasting Huadian, Fang Han said with a smile: "After tonight, Niang Niang will become a veritable queen." ”

Wasn't she a queen once upon a time? Before Su Ying could ask, the female officials put on a heavy phoenix crown for her, and surrounded her all the way to Fengluan, and she didn't know where to go.

The evening breeze on her face is not cold, but cool and very comfortable, I don't know how long she walked, she was drowsy, and heard Duan Niang call her: "Please Niangniang move." ”

She stretched out her hand to rub her eyes, but was quickly grabbed by Duan Niang's eyes: "Niangniang don't want to wear makeup." She had to withdraw her hand, looked at the temple in front of her, and was stunned: "Chaoyang Palace? Your Majesty wants to see me? ”

Duan Niang carefully helped her into the hall, and whispered to her all the way: "Niangniang is waiting for Your Majesty quietly, and the slave will accompany Niangniang here." ”

The inner hall is full of red light, the dragon and phoenix candles illuminate the hall brightly, Duan Niang helped her walk through one screen after another, and stopped when she walked to the last screen: "Please go in, the slave is here to accompany Niangniang." ”

, She opened the red satin embroidered dragon and phoenix double happiness bed tent, sat down slowly along the edge of the bed, and waited outside for the palace ladies to put down the veil, a gold and a red, layer upon layer like a cloud of smoke, she was dazzled, this scene seemed familiar, she thought and thought, there was a vague outline in her heart, suddenly very frightened, and shouted: "Duan Niang? ”

Duan Niang's voice seemed to be far away: "The slave is here." ”

She grabbed the corner of her clothes uneasily: "Duan Niang, I... I'm afraid..."

Duan Niang comforted her: "Don't be afraid, this is a very happy thing, please wait a little longer, Your Majesty will come soon." ”

She had to sit quietly and wait, I don't know what incense was lit in this tent, it made her dizzy, she had fun today, and came back and was tossed for a while, very tired, but the phoenix crown was studded with jewels, and pressed her heavily, very uncomfortable, so she slept not steadily, and had a long, long dream.

She dreamed that on this day five years ago, she was like this, wearing a dress she didn't like and walking out of the house, the servants in the family knelt on the ground, and even her father and mother knelt in front of her with their brothers. Advisor ......"

Wen Crepe heard a large part of the words that she seemed to understand, probably saying that she was virtuous and virtuous, and she was a model for women in the world. But she was only twelve years old, so how could she be a role model for those of her sister-in-law's age?

Until the female officer helped her onto the phoenix, she was still in a daze, her mother had been kneeling, and at this time she quickly raised her head and glanced at her, she didn't know what was going on, so she also smiled and winked at her mother. As soon as the commander "got up", the phoenix carried her steadily, and under the guidance of the powerful guard of honor, she went to a place she had never been to before.

The phoenix shook and shook, carrying her to a magnificent place, a group of men in official uniforms knelt down to her, she vaguely recognized from the crowd Zhao Taishi who often came to the door to play tea with her father, and then went to another place to be worshiped by a group of women. She felt very fresh at first, but gradually she grew tired and just wanted to find a place to lean on. It was easy for the Shang palace to help her into a palace with a bed, but they didn't let her sleep, but just muttered something in her ear over and over again. She looked at the many dolls embroidered on the big red quilt, each doll looked different, very interesting, and was looking at it happily, when she suddenly heard the voice of the little yellow door in the distance: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

The people in the hall knelt down again, and she couldn't figure it out, why did these people like to kneel so much? The felt on the ground was very thick, but she still heard the sound of footsteps, she looked up, and saw the person wearing the Nine Dragons robe, wearing the Nine Dragons Crown, she remembered Shang Gong's advice, so she saluted him, repeating the words that Shang Gong had just taught her: "Concubine Su Ying greets Your Majesty." ”

The Emperor nodded slightly, and sat down beside her, and she glanced at him secretly, only to see his gray beard. Shang Gong took a bottle of wine, the emperor took the wine glass and drank it all, staring at her with interest, she carefully took a sip, the wine was spicy, choking her cough, Shang Gong on the side was frightened and changed his face, and hurriedly knelt down: "The slave is stupid, and she failed to teach the queen mother well, please give your majesty!" ”

The emperor laughed: "I don't blame you, the queen is really young, and you will serve well in the future, and it will not be too late to wait until five years later." Then he strode out of the inner sanctum. She inexplicably felt a lot more relaxed, and cautiously asked Na Shanggong, "Can I take a nap in this bed for a while?" Afraid that she would be embarrassed, he hurriedly said: "Just let me take a nap by the head of the bed." ”

That Shang Gong kowtowed to her again, and only then did she raise her face, it was a very kind and dignified face, which reminded her of her mother, Shang Gong smiled at her: "Slave Duan Niang, I will definitely serve the queen mother well in the future." ”

Queen Mother, this title is really strange and novel, in the past, her parents and brothers called her "Ah Jin", the little maid called her "Miss", and the street vendors called her "Little Doll", this kind of title seems to be sealed in the dust, and since then everyone has seen her, all of them are just a "Queen Mother." ”

"The Queen's Mother......"

"The Queen's Mother......"

Half-asleep and half-awake, it was as if she really heard someone calling her, and the voice seemed to come from the clouds, distant and vague. She struggled to open her eyes, and the dragon and phoenix tent was still bright. The surroundings were quiet, so Duanniang's deliberately suppressed voice was also very clear:

"The queen has been waiting for a long time, she is just a concubine, she dares to go over it like this!"

Xiao Huangmen only promised: "Your Majesty was seriously ill for a few months before, and only Mrs. Langya was ordered to serve the sick alone, Mrs. Langya's grace is flourishing, and she is pregnant with a dragon descendant..."

"I'll go with you." Duan Niang said softly: "Your Majesty said it five years ago that it is today, as soon as this statement comes out, it is a holy decree, she is favored again, how dare she disobey the holy decree?" ”

She listened to it for a while, and finally understood, as if a big rock had fallen in her heart, and she was inexplicably relaxed and happy. Since His Majesty loves Mrs. Langya so much, presumably she won't come over tonight, wouldn't she be happy and comfortable, and go back to the palace to sleep? The more she thought about it, the happier she became, but this joy couldn't be heard by Duanniang, so she calmed down, made a slightly poignant but very helpless tone and said softly: "Duanniang, it's late, Your Majesty is already in the palace of Mrs. Langya, you really don't need to ask, don't disturb Your Majesty's peace." ”

Duan Niang hurriedly comforted her: "Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs recently, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, so don't be sad." This holy decree was personally issued by His Majesty five years ago, and the mother waited with peace of mind. ”

Alas, Duanniang is good everywhere, but she is too rigid. The so-called "holy decree" is just a casual remark by His Majesty, Su Ying was thinking about how to break this matter, but vaguely saw that outside the heavy veil, Duan Niang saluted her: "Please rest assured, the slave will go and ask Your Majesty." ”

She was anxious: "Duan Niang ......" didn't think that Duan Niang would go so fast, and disappeared in an instant, she sat on the edge of the bed decadently, looking at the pair of burning dragon and phoenix candles in a daze, thinking that Mrs. Langya had a little doll, His Majesty would definitely not be willing to leave her, even if she came, look at her, and then think about Mrs. Langya, there will naturally be a comparison in her heart. Although she is not very close to Mrs. Langya, she also remembers that she is a very iconic beauty, if she is Your Majesty, she will miss Mrs. Langya very much after seeing it, and it is very possible to leave. Five years ago, that sentence was a holy decree, and five years later, it was also a holy will for His Majesty not to like her, and at that time Duanniang would have no choice. Thinking like this, she was very steady, so she simply took a pillow and put it on the lattice of the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
