Chapter 56: I Won't Let You Down
After Leng Shuang sat down, he listened to Mrs. Leng say: "Just now, the emperor sent someone to send an invitation, three days later, he will hold an enthronement ceremony, you prepare, when the time comes, we will accompany you into the palace together."
Cold Frost lowered his head and clenched his fists slightly.
She is an orphan, she has no parents since she was a child, she grew up in the palace, the palace is a cage, she doesn't like that kind of intrigue life, and she hates the deceit in the palace.
She wants to marry Gu Tingyu, not for money, nor for vanity, but simply to find a man who loves her for the rest of her life.
"Do you have anything to say to me?" Mrs. Leng stared at Cold Frost and asked.
Leng Shuang raised her head, looked at Mrs. Leng, and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will find a way."
Mrs. Leng said, "That's good, you go back to rest first, my mother is also tired, so I won't keep you."
Madam Leng closed her eyes tiredly and said, "Okay, you go back and remember what I just said."
"I see." Cold Frost nodded, and then left the Ronghua Palace.
"Madam, the eldest lady agreed?"
"Yes," Mrs. Leng opened her eyes and said, "That's fine, I don't want her to guard that family for the rest of her life."
Mrs. Leng was reluctant to let Leng Shuang enter Beijing, on the one hand, because of her background, and on the other hand, to protect Leng Shuang.
If Leng Shuang enters the palace, she can't guarantee that she can still take care of her daughter like now, so at this time, she would rather sacrifice Leng Shuang than take risks.
Leng Shuang walked out of the Ronghua Palace, but met a familiar figure.
"Little sister." When Leng Yue saw Leng Shuang, her eyes immediately turned red, she ran over, hugged Leng Shuang, and said in a choked voice, "Little sister, I'm sorry, it's my sister who has caused you, I'm sorry."
"Fool," Leng Shuang stretched out her arm, wrapped her arms around Leng Yue's waist, patted her on the back gently, and comforted her softly, "Between you and me, what do you need to say to be sorry."
Leng Yue let go of the cold frost and said, "Little sister, have you really decided?"
Leng Shuang glanced at Leng Yue and said lightly, "Since it has been decided, there is no need to change, I want to go to my father to explain this matter."
Leng Shuang nodded and said, "Well, I want to talk to my father.
Leng Yue took Leng Shuang's hand and said, "Don't worry, no matter what kind of decision you make, my brother will support you."
Leng Shuang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "How are you doing?"
"I'm fine," Leng Yue said, "I've learned a lot over the years."
"If you like it."
The two sisters chatted for a long time, until the eunuch reported that the emperor came to the Ronghua Hall to announce the decree, and the two stopped communicating and went to the palace gate together.
At the palace banquet, all the civil and military officials gathered in front of the Ronghua Hall in full costumes, Leng Shuang and Leng Yue stood on the left and right of Prime Minister Leng Cheng, and Mrs. Leng stood on the right side with a group of concubines.
At this moment, the emperor is sitting on the dragon chair.
"Zhong Aiqing, I want to marry Concubine Jing, this is the wishful thinking of me and Concubine Jing, I am here to announce to Zhong Aiqing today that the cold frost is the fourth grade Jieyu." The emperor looked at the cold frost with a smile and said, "From now on,
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The ministers bowed down.
Cold Frost lowered her head and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
It turns out that she is not only Gu Tingyu's life-saving benefactor, but also Jieyu hand-picked by the emperor.
Although she is not unfamiliar with this identity, however, she has no reason to refuse.
"All Aiqing, let's get even," the emperor waved his hand and said, "Reward."
Then the eunuch brought in the reward, and Cold Frost fell to his knees and received the order of thanksgiving.
The emperor smiled and said, "Zhong Aiqing is flat."
"Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and stood respectfully.
"I have called you into the palace today because I have something to tell you."
Leng Shuang raised his head, looked at the emperor suspiciously, and asked, "I don't know what the emperor commands?"
The emperor smiled and said, "I plan to be quiet
Concubines for concubines."
"What?" Leng Shuang's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in surprise, "Your Majesty, the courtiers don't want to enter the palace."
The emperor frowned and said, "Shuang'er, how can you say such nonsense? We are all royal people, so we should naturally follow the ancestral teachings and enter the palace as concubines, besides...... The queen died early, the harem is vacant, this concubine position, only Concubine Jing is suitable, I hope you can understand my hardships."
Leng Shuang shook his head and said, "The courtiers don't want to enter the palace."
"Shuang'er, you grew up watching me, I know your temper and character, if you refuse to enter the palace, I won't be at ease in my life, Shuang'er, you must think about it." The emperor persuaded earnestly: "Shuang'er, you are my child, I don't want to wronged you."
"Dad, you don't need to persuade me, I've made up my mind." Cold Frost said.
"You...... Hey......" Prime Minister Leng sighed, changed the subject and asked, "Shuang'er, our daughter, have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it," Leng Shuang looked at Prime Minister Leng solemnly and said, "Dad, I don't want to stay in the capital anymore, I want to take my younger brother out to explore the rivers and lakes."
"I'm afraid this won't work," Prime Minister Leng shook his head and said, "If you go out, who will teach your brother his homework?"
Leng Shuang said, "I will find a master and teach him kung fu slowly."
"That's fine, you're going to Jiangnan anyway." Prime Minister Leng nodded and continued: "Since you have decided, I, as a father, also respect your choice, but you brothers and sisters must come back within three months, if you don't come back after three months, or if you are caught by other countries, I will play a role in you."
"Dad, I won't let you down." Leng Shuang looked at Prime Minister Leng seriously.
"Well," Prime Minister Leng nodded and said, "This time, thanks to you, Dad owes you too much."
"Dad, I'm going to be angry when you say that," Leng Shuang said with a straight face, "I am your daughter, it is natural to help my father, you don't need to be grateful to me, besides, I don't want you to be embarrassed, and I don't want the emperor to misunderstand you."
Prime Minister Leng was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, Daddy believes in you."
Leng Shuang showed a bright smile and blessed Prime Minister Leng with a blessing, "Thank you, Daddy."
"Shuang'er, you should go with your second sister when you go out this time, so that she won't always bully you." Prime Minister Leng said.
"Daddy, I didn't bully her!" Leng Yue protested, "It's obvious that she always bullies me."
"Don't bother your father, hurry up and pack up, let's leave for Jiangnan," Leng Shuang said.
"Okay, I see."
After Leng Shuang finished speaking, he stepped back and prepared.
Leng Yue looked at the emperor, then at Prime Minister Leng Cheng, and stopped talking.
The emperor smiled and said, "What's the matter? Say whatever you want."
"The courtiers don't understand, why did the emperor suddenly want to canonize the courtiers as Jieyu?" Leng Yue asked.
The emperor smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry, I'm just giving you a name."
"Oh......" Leng Yue nodded and said, "In that case, the courtier congratulates the emperor and Concubine Jing on growing old together and tying the knot forever."
"Hahaha, borrow your auspicious words."
Leng Yue looked at Leng Shuang and said, "Congratulations, sister, from now on, you will be the emperor's woman."
Leng Shuang didn't speak, just lowered his head and hid the complicated look in his eyes.
Leng Yue smiled and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to Concubine Jing."
After Leng Yue finished speaking, she glanced at Prime Minister Leng who was standing next to her, and said, "Your Majesty, the courtiers still have something to say to their father."
"You say." The emperor nodded with a smile and motioned for Leng Yue to continue.
Leng Yue walked over and muttered a few words in Prime Minister Leng Cheng's ear, and after hearing this, Prime Minister Leng looked embarrassed.
"What's wrong, Dad, what's wrong?" Leng Yue asked suspiciously.
"This ......" Prime Minister Leng hesitated for a moment, looked at the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not disobey the holy will."
"Prime Minister Leng, are you trying to disobey my will?" The emperor's voice suddenly became stern.
"The minister doesn't dare," Prime Minister Leng immediately knelt down.
Leng Yue hurriedly helped Prime Minister Leng and said, "Daddy, what are you doing here? Get up quickly, you are a king, I am a minister, you don't have to do such a great gift to me."
"Okay." After Prime Minister Leng got up, he said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you just agreed to marry your courtiers and King Jing."
"You child, how can you talk like that? Your Majesty, my child is anxious, and she still has to let the emperor make the decision for us in her marriage."
Prime Minister Leng Cheng's words made Leng Yue feel the urge to vomit blood, and she couldn't help but curse herself secretly, Leng Yue, you are now a princess, a princess on top, where is your turn to speak, before you get married, you start to play big names.
"Okay, Leng Yue doesn't understand the rules, please don't mind the emperor." Prime Minister Leng arched his hand and said, "Since the emperor has promised us, we are also relieved."
"Okay, when you finish your wedding, I will give you a marriage." The emperor said.
"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Leng said happily, "Your Majesty, the minister went down first."
"Well, go ahead."
After they left, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and pondered for a while, and said, "Someone is coming."
"The minions are here."
"Go and spread my will, canonize Leng Shuang as Jieyu, title Concubine Jing, and give marriage to King Jing."
"Yes."
After the father-in-law who passed the decree went out, Leng Yue was a little confused, she was inexplicably upgraded, what was going on?
"Your Majesty, are you a little hasty in doing this?"
"What? What are you not satisfied with?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, looked at Leng Yue, and asked.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say before that you would marry your courtiers? But why did you change your mind again?" Leng Yue said puzzledly, "Your Majesty, if you do this, the courtiers really don't know how to thank you."
"Silly girl, you are my only daughter, my heart and liver are baby pimples, so I am naturally reluctant to let you marry far away." The emperor touched Leng Yue's head dotingly.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers have a request, and I hope the emperor can grant it." Leng Yue said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers want to ask you to make an order to let my father and brother stay in the capital, and the courtiers hope that my father and mother can accompany me and take care of my diet and daily life."
