Yong'an Palace

As the night deepened, the palace was still lit with lights and candles.

The queen in formal clothes sat in the hall with an indifferent expression, looking at the eunuch kneeling below, reporting the matter.

"So, Your Majesty wants to see me now?"

"Niangniang, Your Majesty misses Niangniang and wants to invite you to come over. The eunuch fell to the ground and said respectfully.

It's so late, please come over, it's not in order.

However, almost all the rules of the entire palace are for the emperor, and the emperor can make changes, and it doesn't matter whether these rules are in line with them or not.

The queen had heard about the emperor's vomiting of blood, but she didn't know about it, so she just asked the eunuch: "I heard that Su Ziji returned to Beijing today?"

"Niangniang, Su Gongzi is indeed back to Beijing today. ”

"Do you know how he is doing?" asked the Queen.

Eunuch: "If you go back to your mother, Your Majesty will give Su Gongzi a house in Wanglufang, and as soon as Su Gongzi returns to Beijing, His Majesty will invite him to the house." Together with Su Gongzi's family, he also went to the dock to greet him, and he should have lived in the new mansion at this time. ”

"Really?" Hearing the eunuch's report, saying that the emperor did not summon Su Ziji immediately, the queen's reaction actually coincided with Su Ziji's first reaction.

Obviously, he was very anxious to summon Su Ziqi to Beijing, but after entering Beijing, he was not in a hurry to see him, could it be that he had a problem in his heart and regretted it a little?

Thinking of Su Ziji having to marry a folk woman because he was living among the people, the queen felt that her grandson was too wronged.

"However, although Ye Buregret has an ordinary background and is not worthy of Ah Fu's son, he ......"

Thinking of the scene when she saw Ye Buregret a few days ago, her heart that had hardened over the years softened again.

"I thought that Ling Ye would not regret only being the side room of Su Ziji, although it was a side room, it could be jumped from the main room of ordinary people to the serious side room of the emperor's grandson, which could be regarded as improving her status, and it was not considered an insult to her. ”

"If she doesn't want to, then let her fake her death, and then give a thick dowry, so that she can remarry on her own, and also make. ”

"Su Ziji is about to become a naturalized citizen, but in the end it is many years later than the kings, and there are not many people who can use it in their hands. ”

But when I saw the child, I didn't know why, but I relented, and I couldn't say a word of persuasion. ”

Perhaps, the husband and wife may be better off in the midst of adversity.

The queen comforted herself with such words.

It's just that nothing else can be disputed, and the title and title must be fought for.

Sitting quietly thinking about this, until she came back to her senses, the queen sighed lightly: "That's it, since His Majesty invited, how can I not go?

"Yes, sis!"

With the queen's order, the phoenix chariot was ready, sat on the phoenix chariot in the night, and walked towards the palace.

In the palace, don't say that at night, even during the day, there is a kind of silence and loneliness that is not found in the courtyard of the deep gate.

At night, the delicate palace lamps hanging on both sides of the road sway gently with the breeze.

The bright light, in this vast night, is like a spark dotting, one after another, stretching into the distance.

At this time, it is winter, and although there is only sporadic snow this year, the cold of the late night can already make people feel a thing or two through the oncoming wind.

On the phoenix chariot carried by eight people, the queen is sitting on her lap, with a light makeup, she is not young, although she used to be a national city, now she is just a woman who has lost her beloved son and has suffered vicissitudes for more than ten years.

Ahead was the residence of her nominal husband, but her heart was not alarmed.

When they arrived at the place, Feng Yuan was gently dropped at the entrance of the palace, and the great eunuchs who had already served, together with a group of palace maids and eunuchs, stood at the door and looked forward to it, and when they saw the queen arrive, they all ran over and saluted the queen respectfully.

"The slave has seen the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

said flattering words in his mouth, and when he was even, the big eunuch on duty today was busy helping the queen mother in, and was glanced at by the queen's female official, and hurriedly took two steps back.

Like the master of Yong'an Palace, the female officials of Yong'an Palace have a transcendent status in this palace, even if they are the emperor's great eunuchs, they don't dare to offend easily.

The queen gently put her hand in the hand of the female official, and by her support, she walked step by step into the palace that she had been to once some time ago.

Last time, she came for Su Zi's nationality, and this time, she came for this grandson.

is not for the only descendant of Ah Fu, the queen has long been heartbroken, closed the palace door, and no one is gone, where do you still need to come and be with this ruthless person?

But as she walked in step by step, smelling the strong smell of medicine in the air, the queen's eyes drooped slightly, her eyes were hot, and she almost couldn't control her expression.

Fortunately, she had long been accustomed to control and forbearance, so when she arrived at the palace where the emperor was, her eyes were already calm.

"Queen, you're finally here. "The emperor was dressed in a white tunic and a tunic coat, and when he heard the news of the arrival, he stood up and greeted the queen.

Seeing that he was better than he imagined, he seemed to have recovered a lot, and his face looked very ruddy, the queen was slightly blessed and said softly: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Ahem, you and I are husband and wife, why do you have to be so strict about etiquette?" Seeing the queen saluting to him, the emperor hurriedly helped her up, and at the same time took her hand and asked her to sit on the dragon couch with him.

In front of the couch, there was a low table with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and some folds, and the emperor coughed lightly a few times and motioned for the queen to look over.

"Queen, I am ready to give Su Ziji a name, according to the rules, the prince and grandson are the first to be crowned, and they are the marquis, you see, what can you choose?"

Seal a marquis first, this is in line with the rules, no more, no less.

The queen's eyes were slightly gloomy, and she fell on the low table, and when she saw that the emperor had picked up a plain paper for her, she reached out and took it, and saw that it was a simple map with the names and directions of various countries on it.

Like the previous dynasty, Zheng Taizu established the Great Zheng, and in the first month of the third year of Qingwu, Hanxue Chengzhi assessed the name of the third-class country, which was divided into large countries, sub-countries, and small countries, and was used to be knighted.

The prince was crowned a marquis at the beginning, and unlike the heroes, he must be a prince, and he entered the prince and king one by one.

Although canonized princes, but "country" is actually just a concept, not really let the princes and grandsons autonomy, because of the past many rebellions of the vassal kings, the previous dynasty, the management of the princes and grandsons, has formed a set of inherent patterns.

Generally speaking, with a fief, there will be no feudal domain, but only the fiefdom and taxes, and there will be a part of it, which will become the source of daily expenses of the prince, and you can enjoy the wealth to the fullest.

The queen looked at it, and the great powers of Qin, Qi, Wei, Yan, etc., directly skipped it.

"The grandson is the first to be sealed, and it must not be done in one step, although the emperor seems to let me choose, but I choose a big country, and I will not allow it. ”

As for small countries, they have always been divided into unfavored princes and grandchildren, and the queen naturally looked down on it, and skipped it without even looking at it.

She mainly chooses among those sub-kingdoms, and there are still a few sub-kingdoms that have not been divided, and the queen hesitated: "The dai country is not bad, although it is not a rich place, but it has always been a peaceful wife, just like the concubine's expectations for her grandson." ”

"On behalf of the country?" the emperor nodded: "Yes, then Su Zi will be crowned as the acting marquis." ”
