Chapter 20: The Peasant Girl's Imperial Road
Moonlight in deep space.
The fox mask in his hand was remembered by the girl's gentle smile.
He had already made up his mind and made a promise to his sweetheart.
Then he just did it.
Yu Taizhi lifted the curtain and said lightly: "Has my father rested?" β
His attendant hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Your Highness, it's getting late, if there is nothing important, don't bother Your Majesty?" β
"No," said Taizhi firmly, "this matter is very important. β
He didn't want to wait a moment.
It was already late at night, but Emperor Qianhua had not rested, and he was still working at the desk The emperor ascended the throne at the right time, leading the Yong Dynasty from decline to Zhongxing, with a fierce personality and a ruthless heart.
At the same time, he is also an out-and-out workaholic.
Hearing the subordinate announcement, he frowned and put down his pen, "Prince Xuan enters the palace." β
"Father!" His crown prince strode into the store, and after hurriedly saluting, he couldn't wait to say: "Erchen has a beloved girl, and I want to ask my father for marriage!" β
Emperor Qianhua's eyebrows rose little by little, he looked at the prince's eyebrows full of joy and apprehension, overflowed with a sneer, and said slowly: "You came to me late at night, just to say this?" β
The power of the emperor is implicit but not revealed.
The crown prince restrained his overly lively face, and said solemnly: "Father, that's the person I want to spend my life with, I can't wait, I want to settle down with her immediately......"
Emperor Qianhua was not interested in listening to his family-like young men, so he interrupted indifferently, "Which girl is it?" β
"It's the eldest girl of the Xuanwei Hou family!" The prince looked at him expectantly.
"Xuanwei Hou? I remember that there was only one girl in their family, and Concubine Shu mentioned to me that she wanted to marry that girl for King An. β
Emperor Qianhua couldn't see any emotion between his dark eyebrows, he looked at the prince's suddenly pale face, and said lightly: "Are you so impatient, just to rob your brother's daughter-in-law?" β
"It's not!" The prince denied: "She doesn't like the third brother at all, and the third brother doesn't like her either, the third brother was at the gate of the palace before to prevent her from entering the palace!" β
"Stand down." Emperor Qianhua didn't want to waste any more time with him, so he wrote again and buried himself in work.
The prince lost his soul, but he didn't dare to disobey his father, he walked out of the Zichen Hall in a daze, and the cold night wind blew in his face, freezing him a spirit.
Ah Chan is still waiting for him...... He can't give up like that!
If his father doesn't agree to him, then he will go to his mother! The queen mother is wise and martial, there will definitely be a way!
β¦β¦
The next day, Ling Chan got up from the bed and received the order to enter the palace again.
This time, it was the phoenix decree from the queen's mother.
Ling Chan entered the palace from the goodness and met Xie Linyu halfway.
Xie Linyu is a self-acquaintance, her eyes widened when she saw Ling Chan, "It turns out that you are so good-looking, why do I say you want to wear a mask!" β
Then without being invited by others, he ran over, hugged Ling Chan's arm affectionately, and poured out the cause and effect with a small mouth.
"After the prince's brother separated from you last night, he couldn't wait to meet the queen's aunt, and then today's queen's aunt invited the two of us into the palace!"
"Aunt Queen also specially sent someone to tell me that you are entering the palace for the first time, so I want to take care of you more!"
"Isn't it...... It must be that the prince's brother said something to the queen's mother! She lowered her voice excitedly, "Do you want to ask your mother to marry you?" β
Ling Chan blushed and lowered her eyes, without saying a word, this girl was happy and could continue to speak, "Originally, Your Majesty and Niangniang were looking at the girl for the prince's brother, isn't it just right now?" I think you're much better than Miss Liu and Miss Zhang! β
"Later, we will go to see the queen's aunt first, my aunt is very majestic, but don't worry, just because she specially asked me to take care of you, I will definitely not embarrass you!"
That's true.
The queen gave birth to a goose egg face, not very beautiful, but very stable and angry, and her whole body was graceful and dignified for many years in the world.
Of course, she didn't embarrass Ling Chan, she only explained some clichΓ©s such as letting her live comfortably in the palace without restraint, and let them go down.
Ling Chan lived in the palace like this.
Get up early every day to greet the queen's mother, and then walk around the garden with Xie Linyu hand in hand, play leaf cards, and kill time with laughter.
Occasionally, the prince would come to see her.
Every time I come, my steps are vain, my eyes are blue, and my body is full of tiredness that I can't hide.
Tang Taizhi held Ling Chan's hand and told her, "Concubine Shu Niangniang has already told her father about you and the third brother, and he doesn't agree to marry you and me, but the queen mother loves me, I explained my mind to the queen mother, and then she not only blamed me, but also willing to say ...... for you."
"But the Father...... is not a person who can tolerate others disobeying him, he has already promised Concubine Shu that he will not change his words again. β
"So I asked the queen mother to take you into the palace first."
Taizhi held Ling Chan's face, and his forehead was close to her, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken you into the palace without making an opinion......"
"But," his dark eyes were full of Ling Chan's beautiful face, "I'm afraid of losing you, I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, you will be snatched away by the third brother and be his bride." β
"If you wait for me, if you wait for me, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you."
He muttered in a low voice, his eyes were determined and hesitant, disobeying Emperor Qianhua was a great challenge for him, and he was not sure if he would be able to defeat his father's wishes...... In his impression, no one can say no to what his father wants to do; What his father refused, no one could force him to complete.
His father, the emperor, said one and the other, the golden mouth.
He used to be deeply proud and admired, but now these imperial majesty have become a gap between him and his beloved girl.
Ling Chan smiled, her hand also touched Taizhi's face, and said softly, "I'll wait for you." β
β¦β¦
In general, the days of living in the harem are easy and comfortable, not to mention anything else, the means of serving people by the palace maids are first-class, Ling Chan looks at them, they know what the master means, and she is about to grow up as a little waste with degraded limbs.
Ling Chan couldn't wait to lie on her big bed every day, and the beautiful palace maid sister held the carefully selected fruit snacks and ice dew to Ling Chan's bedside, and carefully fed them to Ling Chan.
And Xie Linyu is just the opposite, this girl is full of inexhaustible vitality, running in the palace every day, on this day, she came to Ling Chan with a small basket, and said with a bright smile: "The acacia flowers in the imperial garden are blooming beautifully, let's go pick a few flowers, and come back to arrange a vase for the queen's aunt!" β
Ling Chan never refused her, she agreed with a good voice, and the little girl held hands and set off happily.
Xie Linyu looked bright and smiled, and an hour later, she deeply regretted this decision.
