Chapter Seventy-Six: Peach Blossom Debt
"Is it still called Miss? It's time to call the Queen! ”
The former queen, who is now the queen mother, walked in from outside the door.
"Slaves and maids see the Queen Mother." A room of minions hastened to kneel down and salute.
"Get up!" The Queen Mother commanded, stepped forward, took the wooden comb from Ah Qi's hand, and personally combed Ai Qing's hair in a bun.
"Queen Mother, let Ah Qi come!" Every time Ai Qing saw her loving mother-in-law, she couldn't help but sigh in the bottom of her heart.
"Today's bun is tied for you, the woman's long hair! But the tenderness that men can't forget the most, Qin'er's head happened well, and the black and soft lining made this gold jewelry much more brilliant. ”
The queen mother's craftsmanship is excellent, and her hair will be curled in a bun when she speaks. He took a golden hairpin from the brass plate carried by the attendant and inserted it.
"Queen Mother, what is this?" Ai Qing looked at the golden hairpin decorated with gemstone beads in the mirror, her eyes lit up, which one she wore on her head on the table was not in accordance with the queen's regulations, and she chose the best to send it, but compared with the hairpin now, there is a feeling of 'looking back and smiling, and the six palaces have no color'.
"This hairpin is really complementary when worn on Qin'er's head!" The Queen Mother didn't answer her directly, but leaned down and looked at the face in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm!" Qin'er must remember that no matter what happens, believing in the emperor's will is the most important thing. ”
"Huh? Queen Mother, why did she suddenly say these words? Ai Qing held the hand of the Queen Mother on her shoulder and turned her head with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing, your child liked the queen mother when he first saw him, and even if he suffered any grievances in the future, he just came to find the queen mother."
The Queen Mother's words made Ai Qing even more inexplicable, but seeing that she had no intention of saying it explicitly, Ai Qing just answered and stopped asking, but she unconsciously thought about it for a long time in her heart.
------
At the enthronement ceremony, Ai Qing followed the rules explained by the grandmothers and carried a piece of jewelry weighing one kilogram with Mu Chun to enter the main hall together. Mu Chun looked at her with her head full of pearls, obviously she was very struggling, but she pretended to be serious and calm, both pity and moved. Steadily helped her to the phoenix seat and sat down, and then sat back on the dragon chair.
"Long live the emperor, long live, the queen mother, thousand years old, thousand years old!"
I don't know how many times I've heard this in the TV series, but Ai Qing is still a little shocked, her little heart is pounding and beating, she didn't expect to become a queen after a year! This speed is much faster than Huan Huan and Mei Niang!
This battle is no less than a court drama, but fortunately, with Mu Chun's decision, she doesn't need to say anything, just sit on it obediently. Seeing Mu Chun sitting on the dragon chair with a completely indifferent appearance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that he was ascending the throne, and those who didn't know thought he was talking about common things. The strategy of governing the country and the majesty came with a slight opening of his mouth, without the slightest timidity, as if he had been the emperor for half his life.
This enthronement ceremony is nothing more than some officials' sycophants and discussions on the new policy, which is boring. However, when the eunuch at the door reported that King Pilan had come to congratulate him, Ai Qing's sluggish spirit suddenly rose unprecedentedly. Before, she wanted to save Mu Chun alone, if it weren't for Gu Sichen with her, I was afraid that I didn't know how serious the result would be. He should also thank him for coming this time.
Seeing Gu Sichen walking from outside the hall, there was a knee-length woman with long hair and a young man about thirteen or fourteen years old behind him. Ai Qing couldn't help but be surprised, Gu Sichen looked like he was only thirty years old, how could the child be so old. Looking at the Mu Chun beside him, who was obviously a few years older than him, there was no one under his knees, so he secretly made up his mind to give birth to one for him as soon as possible.
Both of them are emperors, and according to their positions, they naturally can't let Gu Sichen stand below to speak, Mu Chun decided to turn his head and take Ai Qing's hand and hold her to get up and walk down the steps.
Walking up to them, Mu Chun said politely, "King Pilan's trip is hard. After speaking, he looked at the woman standing beside Gu Sichen and asked softly, "You...... Luckily? ”
These simple three words sounded indescribably awkward, Ai Qing stood aside and looked at the woman in front of her who was about thirty years old but extremely well maintained, and her heart was unnaturally sour.
"Yin'er is all right, Emperor Lao is worried." The woman was blessed and led the young man next to her and stepped forward and said, "Mu'er, quick, I've seen your father." ”
As soon as the word father and emperor came out, Ai Qing chuckled in his heart, and the civil and military courtiers around him were even more in an uproar. Mu Chundu's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but the young man took a few steps back.
"He's not my father, mother, why are we here? Piran is our home. ”
"Chu Yin is back?" As soon as the young man's words fell, the Queen Mother walked in from outside and asked politely.
Chu Yin! Ai Qing stood in place in a daze, is she Chu Yin? The woman Mu Chun loved perfectly! She asked the child to call him his father, and the child ...... She didn't dare to think about it anymore, lest the pound of pearl on her head would press her into the dust.
"Yin'er greets the Queen Mother!" Chu Yin stepped forward and blessed her body, Ying Ying smiled, but her eyes unconsciously looked at Mu Chundu.
"Hmm" The Queen Mother responded, walked up to Ai Qing and squeezed her hand, and said with a smile: "This is the queen of Du'er." ”
Ai Qing felt the warm palm of the Queen Mother, and she could hear that this sentence was showing her identity, and she deliberately said it to the woman named Chu Yin in front of her. But at this moment, she didn't have time to be moved in her heart, she only felt that her nose was sour, lest she would cry in the next second.
"Queen? The concubine has seen the queen. Chu Yin saluted, but his eyes fell on the hairpin above Ai Qing's head.
Ai Qing wanted to open her mouth to respond, but found that she couldn't say half a sentence, just stood there stunned, holding back tears to maintain her last demeanor as a queen.
"Qin'er" Mu Chun decided to notice Ai Qing's strange appearance, stretched out his hand to hug her, but did not continue, just turned his head and ordered: "Today, King Pilan is coming to the court, the prime minister, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Taifu will go to the banquet with him, and the rest of Aiqing can retreat." ”
"Yes!" The civil and military officials withdrew after receiving the order, but no one looked at each other, when did the emperor have such a big son, they had never heard of it.
Seeing the officials leave, Ai Qing raised her eyebrows and stared at Mu Chun Fufu: "The concubine is a little tired, so I won't go to the banquet with you." After saying that, the moment he turned around, tears fell from his eyes. She was too confused at the moment, and she just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
As soon as he took two steps, he was suddenly picked up by a beating, and as soon as he raised his head, he fell into Mu Chundu's gloomy and affectionate gaze.
Seeing that there were tears on her face, Mu Chun hugged her head and said without replying: "If you are tired, I will carry you back." ”
Ai Qing wanted to break free, but he was carried out of the hall in three or two steps.
The palace is not cleaner than the palace, and the palace guards who can be seen everywhere along the way, seeing Mu Chun passing by with her in his arms, all stood still and bowed their bodies and did not dare to raise their eyes to look. Ai Qing buried her face in his arms, but not because of dependence, but because she didn't want others to see her tears. How could she have thought that what she had casually asked a few days ago would become a prophecy so quickly. The woman she had loved was standing in front of them, with the child by her side.
Back in the Qinghua Palace, Mu Chun sent all the minions out, put her down and hugged her into his arms before speaking: "That child is not mine." ”
Hearing this, Ai Qing's eyebrows raised slightly, but he still broke free from his arms without saying a word.
"Qin'er" Mu Chun decided to take her hand back, but she gently shook it off.
"Go back! King Pelam, Officials, and ...... She is waiting for you to come to the banquet. ”
"You believe me!"
"Believe you? If it's not yours, why don't you say it? If it weren't for yours, why would that woman be so open-minded? If it weren't for you, why would you look at her like that? Ai Qing raised her eyes and asked, and the tears that had already dried up flowed down in an instant.
"Qin'er, you listen to my explanation, I don't know why she said that, it's just ......"
"It's just that it's a long time ago, and you're not sure, are you?"
"Qin'er, can you give me some time and let me ask clearly?"
"Good! There you go! Ai Qing reluctantly squeezed out a faint smile and said: "The concubine is tired, so she won't accompany the emperor to the table." ”
