Chapter 119: The Consequences of the Ending
It was still early in the morning, and the door of Chaofeng Pavilion was forcibly pushed open, and the shadow guard in the dark appeared and looked at it twice and then disappeared again, because the person who suddenly broke in was Princess Yichan, who was on the list of people who could be released.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law......"
"Yichan, I praised you the day before yesterday for growing a lot in these days, why are you panicking today." Xuanyin came out with his clothes, "The curfew has just been opened in the palace at this hour, what is the matter with you coming?" ”
"Sister, if it's not something important, why would I have waited at the gate of the palace for a long time, and I will come out as soon as the curfew is lifted." Originally, she wouldn't care about those access controls, but she didn't want to make trouble today, if she shocked the emperor's brother, she would definitely not come here as her.
"What's the matter?" Qingrang has just woken up, and he has slept fairly soundly recently, "It's cold." ”
Yichan pushed away Qing Rang's hand to wipe her sweat, "You go into the palace with me, before the palace goes to court today, otherwise he will issue an order to ask the neighboring country for marriage!" ”
Qing Rang was stunned, and Xuanyin was confused, "Marriage? ”
"No, I overheard it yesterday, although the emperor's brother was very reluctant, but that Mei Zijian persuaded him for a long time, and the emperor's brother finally agreed, saying that it was for the prosperity of the country and the people's livelihood, so he would marry a neighboring country."
Yichan hopes that Qingrang can be the queen, and she has decided that only Qingrang is qualified to be his brother's wife and wife.
Qing Rang clenched his fists tightly, what she was afraid of was still coming, Yu Zichen still broke his promise in the end.
"Did you hear it wrong, maybe it ......" Xuanyin thought of other reasons, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only watch Qingrang go straight to the door and hurriedly catch up, "Qingrang, you go slowly." ”
The majestic palace, the splendid flowers and trees, she has no intention of lingering and watching, entering from the palace gate, no one stopped her, Yichan led the way, she came to Yu Zichen's dormitory for the first time, standing outside the palace, she precipitated her mood, and tried not to lose her reason.
The eunuch guarding the door didn't know how to report, Yichan glared at him and didn't let him shout, but the door opened at this moment, the eunuch stole a glance inside, quickly knelt down, and took a deep breath, but the swaying figure that came out was not the object of her argument.
"Cui Chenghuan, why are you! How could it be here! ”
Qing Rang also remembers this name, the favorite daughter of the prime minister of the previous dynasty, after Hua Xin'an's death, Yu Zichen still respects Prime Minister Cui Cheng as Prime Minister in order to win people's hearts, and his daughter Cui Chenghuan is also on the list of this draft, I heard that she and ten other show girls entered the palace to serve the Queen Mother first, and now it is the love of the early morning, she walked out of Yu Zichen's bedroom in such a grand manner, and no one can find any other reason.
Cui Chenghuan leaned over and saluted, lacking the arrogant temperament of the beginning, in the end, the ups and downs of the family background are the most grinding, "Back to the princess, the people came to serve the emperor on the order of the queen mother." ”
"No, the royal brother won't want you to ......"
Qing Rang stopped Yichan, who wanted to come forward to argue, who can guarantee that Yu Zichen would not wronged himself for his country.
"Swing the ceremonial hall......" The eunuch's high-pitched order came from the inner hall, Cui Chenghuan and his party hurriedly retreated and knelt on the ground left and right, even Yichan was not like this, Qing Rang stood there, watching the gate open, watching the eunuch palace maid come out, watching him walk out of the palace door step by step in court clothes, and watching him see her with a look on his face that could be a surprise.
The emperor stood there and did not leave, and the minions below did not dare to move, and occasionally the minions raised their heads and looked curiously at who did not bow down, and who dared to block the emperor's way.
In this game, Yu Zichen finally lost, he walked down the steps step by step, and walked towards the woman who was even more stubborn than himself, "Say, why are you here?" At first he was pleasantly surprised, for it was the first time since he ascended the throne that she had stepped into the palace and came to his side, but her indifferent look let him know that she had not come for him.
"The emperor promised me that I am here to be the queen today. The emperor won't break his promise, right? She said it word by word, and the kneeling person couldn't help but sweat for her, and it was too bold to ask for it as a matter of course, even the father-in-law Qi who was in charge forgot the rules for the first time, and looked up at Qing Rang.
Yu Zichen sighed, he was going to hold her hand, she dodged but was still tightly held in his hand, "Let's go, let's go up to the court first, my queen!" ”
How many swallowing voices, even Yichan Xuanyin didn't understand the turbulent dark tide between them, I don't know which eunuch was bolder, and shouted loudly, "The emperor and queen are in the hall......
Hearing the word queen in that high-pitched voice, Qing Rang chuckled in her heart, she was dragged away by Yu Zichen, she could only see his side face, his expression didn't seem to change at all, she thought he would at least frown, but he behaved too normally, it seemed that this was the result he wanted, and she wondered if she had fallen into his trap again.
Yichan glared at Cheng Huan beside her, and she knew that the position of the queen must be that of her sister-in-law Qingrang. Xuanyin looked at the distant back and sighed: "Don't you think that they are all wrong today?" ”
Yichan then remembered that there was indeed something awkward, "Isn't the emperor's brother going to marry the princess of a neighboring country?" ”
Xuanyin turned his head and asked Cui Chenghuan, "You went to bed last night?" ”
Such a direct question made Cui Chenghuan blush, she didn't speak, nor nodded or shook her head, Xuanyin sighed, "I'll just say, Yu Zichen hasn't wronged himself to such a point." ”
"What do you mean?" Choi Seung-hwan was enraged.
"Yes." Yichan felt that Xuanyin's expression was exactly what she wanted.
Cui Chenghuan was so angry that his eyes were red, he covered his face and left, Yichan looked at the back of her leaving, and couldn't help but sigh, "I finally understand why my brother must be the emperor, because it feels so good not to be bullied......"
Because I have fallen, I know that kind of pain. I want to stand all the time.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
On that day, the eunuchs outside the hall shouted "The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived", Yu Zichen took Qingrang's hand, bowed down to the civil and military officials, and walked into the Yihe Hall together.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Hundreds of officials shouted together, Yu Zichen did not answer, and the huge Yihe Hall fell into a kind of silence, until one person shouted, "Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose", and everyone understood what the emperor meant, so there was a high-pitched "Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose".
"Zhong Aiqing, let's get even." Yu Zichen commanded, and then turned to Qingrang, "The queen is careful of the steps." ”
As for where to be careful about a few steps, Yu Zichen's words just signaled Qing Rang to climb the steps with him and sit on the dragon chair with him. At this time, Qing Rang was suddenly a little confused, the rhetoric she prepared, the effort she was prepared to spend, was not used at all, he sent her to the queen's position as if he was preparing her every day.
But at least there was one thing that was the same as she expected, and before she could sit down, she heard the thick voice under her voice shouting again, "Qiqi Shengshang, the minister thinks that the Duanmu clan is not enough to be the rear position!" ”
Qing Rang breathed a sigh of relief, and now she sat down beside Yu Zichen with confidence, and she turned her head to look at Yu Zichen to see how Yu Zichen explained to his courtiers and his world.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister also thinks it's inappropriate!"
One by one quickly stood in a row, Qing Rang felt that there were still fewer people who objected, after all, her identity was too special, she was a concubine, and it was impossible for her to enjoy the dignity of the queen, and secondly, her father was the uncle of the prince of the previous dynasty, and her sister was the queen of Hua Xin'an, it was inevitable that everyone would think that she was resentful of the new dynasty, if she was the mother of a country, there were too many hidden dangers for the country.
"Come on, bring something up!" As soon as Yu Zichen's hand was raised, Gonggong Qi glanced at the palace people below, and saw a slap sound, and there was a sound of rustling outside the hall.
Two rows of palace maids, carrying a long scroll with both hands, slowly entered the Yihe Hall from outside the hall, this long scroll is very long, and the long one can be extended to the outside of the hall, and the courtiers below are privately discussing what it is, and Qing Rang also stretched his neck slightly, not knowing what Yu Zichen is going to do.
"I know what you Aiqing mean, and I have been thinking about the canonization of the queen for a long time, but I received this ten thousand blessing scrolls yesterday and made today's decision, and I feel that public opinion is difficult to do."
At this time, the palace maids opened the long scroll to the left and right, embroidered with all kinds of blessing words, and the ceremonial official Zhu Ciming stepped forward, "The ministers are afraid, and the people ask the ministers to present the ten thousand blessing scrolls to the emperor, and they are willing to respect Duanmu as the queen and bless each other with ten thousand blessings." ”
The Hundred Blessing Scroll, which is taken from the folk Hundred Blessing Scroll, is embroidered on silk cloth by 100 people, indicating that the embroiderer is willing to sacrifice his blessings and pray for the fulfillment of his wishes. There were far more than 10,000 blessing characters on this long cloth scroll, and the ministers couldn't help but be a little too shocked, and the courtiers who opposed it didn't know what to say for a while.
"The ministers feel the same way as the people." A minister took the lead in kneeling on the hall, and one after another the courtiers shouted "the ministers and the people feel the same way" and knelt on the ground, but Qingrang slowly stood up, she walked down step by step, looking at the blessing words on the cloth with different postures, looking back at Yu Zichen who was sitting high, even if it was fake, she was still moved.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict, Duanmu clan Qing let............ (omit the compliments I won't here) canonized as the queen, with the same honor as the emperor. ”
The holy purpose was read, and the sound echoed in the Yihe Hall, Yu Zichen walked down the steps and walked to Qing Rang's side, "I said that you are the only one in this life, and you are my wife." ”
Qing Rang looked at him with a tearful smile in her eyes, she knew that the sentence "respect with the emperor" was already an unprecedented grace.
"Mother, it's time to be grateful." Father-in-law Qi reminded him in a whisper, and he felt particularly happy for some reason.
Qing Rang took a step back, leaned over and knelt in front of Yu Zichen, her forehead was on the ground, her voice was a little choked, but the whole hall heard it clearly:
"The concubine body does not want to be the queen."
