Chapter 979 - Either be his queen or go to guard the grave of the former prince
Xue Yuan looked directly at her, hesitated for a while, and said softly: "The emperor will return to Beijing tomorrow." β
"The emperor has won the battle, and this time he will return to Beijing, and he will inevitably be supported by the people." Xue Baozhang said with a smile.
Xue Yuan lowered his eyes, couldn't bear to look at his sister's expression, opened his mouth, but couldn't say it in the end.
"What's wrong with my brother? But what do you have to say to me? Xue Baozhang tilted his head.
Xue Yuan raised his head, groaned again, and finally said with difficulty: "In the morning, the news came from Kuaima that the emperor would rest in Mengcheng tonight and enter Beijing tomorrow...... Together with the lord of Leyang. β
Xue Baozhang's eyes changed, and the smile on his face was a little reluctant, "Shen Miaoyan...... She's back? β
"Hmm." Xue Yuan stared at her expression and opened his mouth slowly, "The emperor also has an edict to order the people of the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the sealing ceremony." β
Xue Baozhang's hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble, she couldn't find her voice anymore, "Seal the queen...... Ceremony? β
"Yes." Xue Yuan looked at her worriedly, "Sister, I can see it now, as long as our family does not offend the emperor, the honor will definitely remain." You are pregnant with a child, whether you are male or female, as long as you are born safely, you will always have a place in this harem. Sister, let's stop fighting for those ethereal things, okay? Our Xue family, just be safe. β
He said it sincerely, but Xue Baozhang only sneered.
"I have been learning strategy with Master Yanxu since I was a child, and I am familiar with all kinds of military books and historical books, and my brother is not unaware of my ambition! You made me settle for being a mere concubine, like cutting off my wings! Brother, how can you bear it?! β
Xue Yuan was silent.
The two brothers and sisters were speechless for a long time, and Xue Baozhang said lightly: "What about after the seal, there are so many queens in history, how many of them can die well?" It's mine after all, it's mine, she Shen Miaoyan can grab it for a while, but she can't grab it for a lifetime. β
"But the emperor loves Leyang deeplyβ"
"Brother, the emperor is very good at everything, and Shen Miaoyan is just a waste with empty beauty. Qualified to stand by the emperor's side, only I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Xue Baozhang said coldly.
Xue Yuan was silent.
He is a man, and he knows that a man likes a woman, but he doesn't actually look at the other person's talent.
Without waiting for him to come up with any more words of persuasion, Xue Baozhang said again: "My brother is already at the age of marriage, so it is better to prepare earlier." The palace will also look at the elder brother, and there can be a suitable girl in Beijing. β
She used the self-proclaimed name "Hongu".
Xue Yuan got up and arched his hand at her in a restrained manner, "Don't bother with the concubine, Weichen already has a good person in his heart, even if he can't get her, Weichen is willing to wait far away." β
With that, he turned and left.
Xue Baozhang was enraged by him, "Xue Yuan! Even you are looking at Shen Miaoyan?! β
Xue Yuan paused, didn't say anything, and strode away.
Xue Baozhang was so angry that he threw out the tea cup in his hand, making a crisp sound behind Xue Yuan.
She closed her eyes and breathed deeply.
She hadn't been so angry for a long time, and the culprit of all this was Shen Miaoyan!
The windows of the main hall were not closed, and a cool breeze blew in from outside, and her mind gradually became calm.
What she wants is the back position.
It doesn't matter if you don't get it for the time being, she will always get it.
It doesn't matter if Jun Tianlan can't see her good for the time being, she can wait, wait for the day when he is disgusted with Shen Miaoyan.
When I opened my eyes again, those bright eyes had become extremely determined.
The next day, before dawn, when Shen Miaoyan was sleeping in a daze, he was woken up from the bed by the maid, "County Lord, it's time to get up." β
She sat up with her eyes closed, and through the light between her eyelashes, she saw many maids standing in the room.
She was like a puppet, pushed over by them, carefully bathed in the cubicle, dressed up more ceremoniously than usual, and even her makeup was extraordinarily delicate and gorgeous.
As she was put into the carriage, she saw the guards on horseback, but the man had gone.
But she didn't care.
The carriage slowly headed in the direction of Hokyo, it was very warm in the carriage, she sat for a while, her eyes began to fight, but after a while, she fell asleep against the wall of the carriage.
When I woke up again, I was already outside the pickaxe capital.
The carriage slowly stopped, and after a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a smiling face appeared in front of Shen Miaoyan, "County Lord, you can count it back!" β
"Clothes ......," Shen Miaoyan muttered.
Tian Xiang smiled and poked out half of his head from the side: "County master, the slave maid is also here!" β
Shen Miaoyan followed the sound, but saw that Su Wen beside Tian Xiang also came, following the carriage, nodding and chuckling at her.
"Weichen greets the county lord!"
The two male voices sounded, and Shen Miaoyan looked over, only to see that Wen Zhongqing, a university scholar, and Xie He, a scholar of the military department, were standing not far away with something, and they were respectfully saluting her.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, although she is the lord of Zhengyipin, but she is a woman, this Zhengyipin is just a false name, and she has no real power, where can these two people ask her to say goodbye.
But since they want to say goodbye, then she just suffers.
She lowered her eyes and raised her hand to excuse herself.
Wen Zhongqing and Xie He, who were holding the golden book and golden treasure, glanced at each other, and secretly said that this Leyang county lord was really calm enough, the two of them were invited by the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for canonizing the queen's envoy and deputy envoy out of the city to greet each other, but the county lord was still so careless.
If it were placed on an ordinary woman, she would have been so excited that she couldn't help herself.
Sure enough, the emperor's vision is different.
The two men pondered, and each stepped on his horse, leading the carriage towards the city.
The city was as lively as ever, but Shen Miaoyan was not in the mood at all, and his heart and mind were all about the small village in the mountains outside Jinzhou City.
The carriage stopped outside the palace gate.
"Respectfully ask the county lord to change to a sedan car!"
Wen Zhongqing shouted.
Flicked his clothes forward, helped Shen Miaoyan down from the carriage, and slowly walked to the sedan chair parked next to the palace gate.
Shen Miaoyan's eyes froze.
The sedan chair is a precious gold, carved with the pattern of a phoenix wearing a peony, and a golden embroidered peony tulle hangs on all sides.
She took a step back as if she had seen something terrible.
She didn't want to be his queen, she wanted to go back to Jun Shuying......
The surrounding golden palace had completely faded in her eyes, and had become the cannibalistic cage, as if she could never go back and forth as long as she entered, and could never return to the ordinary little village at the foot of the mountain, nor could she see the rabbits and chickens and ducklings they raised, nor could she eat the persimmons made by that man.
Xie Rongjing didn't know when he appeared beside her, arched his hand at her, and said in a low voice: "The emperor told you, if the county lord refuses to enter the palace, then the former prince's life does not have to be kept." Either the mother is the world, or go to guard the grave of the former prince, and ask the county lord to choose by himself. β
Tears flowed instantly.
Shen Miaoyan's eyes were red, she was clutching the hem of her skirt, and her whole person was shivering in the cold wind.
It's ruthless......
He's so ruthless......
