traveled all the way, and finally arrived at Shengjing on the eighth day of the death of the emperor.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the national cry is more obvious, just after the seven festivals, the red lanterns on the official road have been removed, replaced with white paper sacrificial lamps, and white cloths are tied in front of every house. The city's curfew, restaurants, teahouses, singing and dancing halls and other places of fun are closed, and after the national crying period in January, the museum will be opened......

All the way to the county lord's mansion, the house has already prepared plain clothes, and the hair ornaments have been replaced with plain silk, and I will go to the palace. After showing the waist card, a eunuch took me to the sacrificial hall.

After kneeling and bowing, there was singing and cheering behind him, and the prince Helian Yunnuma arrived.

I haven't seen him for a few months, he has lost some weight, wearing a dark pattern python robe, a black jade carved crown on his head, shallow walking boots with mink soles, and walking into the house with his back hand.

"Why is it more polite to go out for a trip?" His voice was slightly hoarse.

I bowed my head in return.

"Let's go for a walk." He bowed down and saluted the emperor, turned around and walked out of the sacrificial hall.

I bowed and turned to follow.

Today's weather is good, the wind is beautiful, the spring flowers in the palace have bloomed, yellow and pink, and the clusters are coarsely crowded on the branches, adding a lot of vitality to this withered deep palace.

Speechless all the way, he walked around without saying a word with his hands behind his back, and finally arrived at a small pond in the Imperial Garden.

There are a few spring peaches around, which have sprouted and spit buds, there are birds crying in the distance, the green grass by the pond is sprinkled with green fragrance, and the koi fish in the pond surface from time to time, spit out a bubble, and quickly dive to the bottom of the water.

In this palace, after all, it is quiet, but I prefer the blessed land cave in the valley of death.

Of course, what I like more is the swings there.

Thinking of the scene of swinging that day, I couldn't help but hook the corners of my lips, there was a breeze blowing, and the fragrance of grass was pervasive.

Helian Yunnuma turned around and spoke, "I've sent Tianni back to Dongmu. ”

I bowed my head.

He hooked his lips and smiled, "You really didn't react, not even a hint of joy." ”

I saluted lightly, "The first emperor died, and he was the lord of the imperial county, feeling the love of the first emperor, thinking of the first emperor's grace, my heart was sad and timid, and I didn't dare to have any joy." ”

Helian Yunnuma's eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, but he did not speak.

The wind blew, and his Tibetan robe moved lightly, and I realized that Helian Yunnuma, who loved the moon white clothes the most, had already worn Tibetan color at some point.

He stared at the koi in the pond for a while, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the eunuch next to him hurriedly sent fish food, and he twisted his long fingers up a little and raised them gently......

After raising it a few times, he asked me lightly, "I have made a few great achievements in the army, but what do you want?" ”

I shook my head, "Worrying about the king is what a courtier should do, and I don't dare to ask for any reward." ”

He fed the fish for a while, let go of his hand, put all the fish food into the pond, and slowly turned around.

"You go down first."

"Yes." Gong E, the eunuch on the side, received the order, and after saluting, he stepped back lightly, and after a while, only the two of me were left by the pond.

His eyes were dark, and there was a fierce aura around him, and it was clear that the wind was light, and I actually felt that the air was very overwhelming.

"Dump Mu, go out, you seem, it's not the same, huh?" He took a step forward.

I quietly took half a step back, and he stepped over again, and the wind blew, and the faint fragrance of cold plum wafted on the tip of his nose.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, Tilt Mu is still the same as before, but now His Royal Highness the Prince's identity is different.

In a few days, it will be His Royal Highness's enthronement ceremony, and at that time, Dump Mu will change his words to call His Royal Highness, so naturally he will not dare to make more mistakes. ”

"Make a ......"

He hooked the corners of his lips, "When did you start to talk about etiquette like this, when you were a child, you dared to use a stack of straw paper to blackmail a gambling house, and when you grew up, you dared to bet in the frontier camp, and you dared to point a sword at my throat. ”

I smiled slightly, "Dumping Mu was still young at that time, less than more, there are many offenses, please ask Your Highness Haihan." ”

"Less or more?"

Helian Yunnuma smiled again, "You mean to say that now you are not a child and sensible?" ”

There was a faint thorn in his words, and I didn't know what he meant, so I only bowed my head slightly.

He groaned for a while, and said, "Six days later, it is the enthronement ceremony of the crown prince, and the war at the border pass has been won everywhere, and the treasure you are looking for has greatly solved the shortage of the treasury, so I want to take this opportunity to give amnesty to the world and exempt the people of Xiqi from paying taxes that year." ”

"His Royal Highness is worried about the country and the people, and he will become a generation of Ming Jun one day."

His expression finally softened, "Whether it will be Mingjun or not, it will have to wait until a hundred years later, and the judgment of future generations." Worrying about the country and the people is also where the responsibility lies, and those are not too urgent. What is on my mind now is something else. ”

My eyebrows jumped twice.

Sure enough, I heard him say, "Baili Tianni has left Xiqi, and there is no concubine in the main palace of this prince, so I want to take advantage of the day of the enthronement ceremony to hold a post-sealing ceremony together, and make you the queen of the main palace of Xiqi, hold the phoenix seal, and unify the six palaces." ”

"Boom...... my head felt like it had been shaken by thunder.

Before he could recover his life, he said again, "Oh, I almost forgot, you just need to hold the phoenix seal." You and I have already said that we will have a couple for a lifetime, and you are the only one in my harem. ”

"Boom......" I seemed to be shocked again, and it took a long time to come to my senses.

"Your Highness, I ......"

"I know you think it's a little sudden, but I don't think it's sudden. During your absence, I thought about it a lot, as if I had been poisoned, thinking about some things from the past.

Over the years, you have done too many things, you want infinite glory, you want to be the sole favor, I can fight for you, and you don't need to take it by yourself.

You just need to sit in the Phoenix Hall with peace of mind, and I will make you the most noble woman in the Apocalypse Land, enjoying infinite glory and being worshiped by the world! ”

His eyes deepened the more he spoke, and he was faintly excited. But the more I listened, the more frightened I became.

Marry him as a queen......

How can this be, I am already Brother Xu Chen.

On that day, his father and queen mother came out, and they were happy robes and red candles, although they collapsed, but after all, they were also considered to worship the church, and I was willing to marry him.

Now this Helian Cloud Swamp ......

How do you tell him......

Originally, I thought that if Baili Tianqi died, the revenge would be avenged, so I would not return to Shengjing, and go back to Zhonglu with Brother Chen. Who knew that the hundred miles of Tianqi had run away under his nose.

With his character, it won't be long before there will be a big move, so some of my plans have to be continued. At this time, if I had told Helian Yunnuma about the situation......

"Why, you don't want to?" Helian Yun's eyes darkened, "Dumping Mu, aren't you happy like this, I have already made a promise, what else do you want?" ”

I don't want anything, I just don't want to marry you......

After thinking about it, I said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, when he ascends the throne, you will be the emperor of a country, if you only marry one person......"

"I see, that's what you're thinking." His face softened, "You don't have to worry about this." I have already told my mother about this, and she also nodded, and before you came back, I had asked the Ministry of Ceremonies to prepare the phoenix robe for the ceremony.

I don't know what you like, so I made several colors, and I have to order someone to take you to see it, choose carefully, rejoice, and wait for the post-closure ceremony in six days. ”

This is suffering, the phoenix robe has done it, and some things are going to be ......

Or, to tell the truth? It's better to take revenge in the long run......

After a moment of silence, I took a deep breath, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't ...... it."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." A eunuch stepped over and made a salute.

Helian Yunnuma glanced at him, and he hurriedly reported it, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Yining Palace sent someone to spread the news, saying that the first queen learned that the county lord of Ning'an had returned, and she had prepared the county lord's favorite food spot, waiting for the county lord to come over."

The person who came also said that Niangniang had a cold in the past few days, and her headache was sometimes good and bad, so she took the medicine, and after waiting for a long time, she was afraid that she would fall asleep. ”

Helian Yunnuma pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "In that case, you should go and see the queen mother, she has liked you since she was a child, and she will be worried about it for a few months." ”

Looking for me in such a hurry, I'm afraid it's not so simple to remember.

The first salute, I left with the eunuch, and the female official beside the first queen led the way, and soon arrived at Yining Palace.

I haven't seen it for a few months, and the queen has changed a lot, fading the splendid phoenix robe, covering a coarse linen simple shirt, the gilt jewelry on the head has been removed, and the hair bun is fixed with a pear blossom wood carved hairpin.

No makeup, no rouge, and not very good face, at a glance, it seems to be five or six years older than a few months ago. If it weren't for the arrogance of the family, it would be no different from the housewife of ordinary people's families.

"See the Queen." I walked into the temple and made a big salute.

"Ahem, Ning An, don't be polite, come over and let the mourning family take a look."

She covered her lips with a handkerchief, coughed twice, pulled out a smile, and beckoned to me.

I walked over shallowly, she reached out and took my hand, looked up and down as usual, and then said as if she was very distressed, "Hey, Ning'an, why have you lost so much weight, the mourning family heard that you were short of food and food in the army, and I was really worried about it, and I couldn't wait to replace everything in the palace with food and send it to the border, cough cough ......."

She coughed a few more times, and the female officer next to her hurriedly brought a small cup of Sichuan shell loquat, she took it and drank it, and it seemed to be slightly better.

Smiled slightly and apologized, "Hey, a few days ago, the wind started, and somehow I contracted the wind cold, and it has been a few days, and it hasn't improved." I'm afraid it won't take a few days before I will go to accompany the emperor. ”

I said, "Niangniang is deeply blessed, and the people of Xiqi have to be blessed by Niangniang's blessing." Niangniang this is just a minor illness, take medicine on time, rest, it will not take a few days, the disease will be cured. ”

"Or Ning'an, you can speak, a few words, the mourning family is warm in my heart." Empress Xian smiled, and with a wave of her hand, the female official brought several trays, including a few plates of pastry preserves, and a boiled fragrant sugar water.

She picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and handed it over with a smile, "Ning An, this is the almond brand you have liked since you were a child, the hot and cold are just right, you have been driving all the way, you must have not eaten anything, hurry up and eat some." ”

"Thank you, mother." I took it and took a sip, but the sugar water tasted good.

Since Luzhu got married, I went all the way to the border, and I have been busy with this and that, and I really haven't sat down to drink a glass of sugar water for a long time.

It's been four months since Luzhu got married, and I don't know what happened. But with the Eastern Tiger here, there is nothing to worry about, it will hurt people, the Middle-Continent man, but he will not lose to anyone. At this time, the green beads must be afraid of being melted and held for fear of the sun.

"Come, Ning An, don't just drink sugar water, eat a piece of pine nut." The queen took another piece of plaster, and I was naturally grateful.

After I finished eating a small muffin, the first queen took another piece of lotus cake to me, sighed and said, "Hey, you child, no one has hurt since you were a child, and you have no siblings and siblings, and your life is really bitter. ”

Well? Okay, how do you talk about this?

If nothing is abnormal, it is a demon, I knew that I was called in such a hurry, I must not just eat sugar water, this is coming......

I immediately cooperated with the chin, "Over the years, thanks to the mother's care, the mother's goodness, Ning An understands it in her heart." ”

"You kid, don't you say this too much. When I was a child, the mourning family liked you very much, and I always wanted you to join my royal family, and later, the first emperor named you the county lord, and this matter was put down first. Ahem......"

She coughed twice, and suddenly there was a slight change in her watery eyes.
