The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 17
"A little higher, a little to the left, right, right, that's it." Chongqing stood in the corridor and directed a few young eunuchs to hang on the swing.

The tall and vigorous sycamore tree, with its lush branches and leaves, provides a green shade for half of the courtyard. Several swing ropes pass through a strong and straight trunk.The most important thing for a swing rope is to be strong and tough, so it is different from ordinary ropes in that it is made of leather.

A delicate and spacious rattan chair hangs firmly from the rope of the swing. The chair did not have this style before. It was born after Su Zhisang communicated with the manufacturing office. It is long and wide and can accommodate three people while sitting and lying down. It can accommodate two people and is comparable to a small bed. There are three backrests, so there is no need to worry about accidentally rolling off.The rattan material is soft and breathable when you sit on it, and it is light and cheerful when you look at it.

Zhe Sang stood in front of the window and watched, with a smile on his lips.The heart sinking in the deep lake can catch a glimpse of sunshine through the layers of water.

When she was in the Su Mansion, there was a hollow and carved swing in the Ruyi Zhai where Su Qiong'an lived, which was very unique and beautiful.

When Su's father was taking a bath, he would push gently from behind. The little girl's embroidered shoes inlaid with East China Sea beads flew beautifully in the air, and her voice was about to take off, "Daddy, push harder, and go higher -" Su The smile on his father's lips responded to the strength in his hands, but it was still gentle. As a father, he always softens his strength involuntarily. Su Qiong'an will never be pushed to that dangerous height.Even so, Mrs. Su on the side still reminded her with a worried look, "Be careful not to fall."

At that time, Su Zhesang and a row of maids stood aside and watched. She was so envious. She couldn't tell whether she was envious of the swing or the parents pushing the swing.

She had never sat on the swing. Su Qiongan let her see it, but never allowed her to touch it.The father never asked her if she wanted to play, and he didn't even realize that he had a daughter who was watching eagerly.

When she was a child, Su Zhesang dreamed of a swing. Unfortunately, there were only a few half-dead mulberry trees in her small mulberry yard, and the rest were weeds, which could not support the swing in her dream.

Later, when I was with Fu Rong in Beihuang, there was a big tree behind the farmhouse with long hanging vines. Zhe Sang couldn't help but grab the vine and swing it a few times. It was very happy, but when the vine broke, it was really painful to fall.When Fu Rong heard what she said, he laughed hard and said, "You are already married, why are you still craving for children's stuff?"

Like Su Qiong'an, the swing in his childhood was just an inconspicuous thing. Like every toy of a child, he lost interest after that age.

After hearing this, Zhe Sang blushed fiercely. A seven or eight-year-old child would call this innocent, but an adult would call her childish.From then on, she no longer had any interest in the swing, but she always had some slight regret.

Thinking about it carefully, there is a big difference between loving someone or not. Because he doesn't love, Su's father can't see the envious girl beside him. Because he doesn't love, Fu Rong doesn't notice the loss in Zhe Sang's words.

What does it matter?Now she still has a swing, her own swing.

"Your Majesty, come here and give it a try." Lu Yi, who was beside the swing, turned around and saw the Queen looking at her, waving from a distance and shouting excitedly.

A bell made of colored glaze hangs at each corner below the wicker chair. It is all green and looks like a small silver leaf hanging inside the bell. When the breeze blows or the swing swings, it makes a crisp and sweet sound. It is as pleasant as a gurgling stream mixed with jingles. The spring water is cheerful and not loud, so you won't feel noisy when listening to it.

Zhe Sang reached out and touched it. It was slightly cool and smooth, and felt very comfortable.She sat in the middle, Lu Yi pushed her gently, the bell rang, and the breeze blew her face.

The feeling of shaking off the ground made Zhe Sang feel like a bird soaring in the sky, free and happy.

Zhe Sang's voice also rose, "Higher."

Lu Yi rarely saw the queen so happy, so she couldn't help but feel excited and pushed hard.

The wind was blowing very fast, and looking past the high red walls, I saw a large and magnificent palace.At the highest moment, she seemed to be breaking free from the dust, and she couldn't help laughing.

But they forgot that the back of the swing was close to the palace wall. After falling, it swung back with inertia. Lu Yi was stunned. Chongqing threw her to the ground. The swing quickly passed over them and hit the wall hard. , and bounced out again.

Everyone was so frightened by this turn of events that they screamed!Zhe Sang was unprepared. First, he slid backwards and hit the back of the chair, and then was bounced outward. Fortunately, the wicker chair was wide enough and could stop on the edge!If it were a few inches narrower, it would fall.

The masters and servants were all frightened. The maids and eunuchs hurriedly pulled the rope of the wicker chair, and it took the swing two times to pull it.

"Mother, are you okay? Are you hurt? I blame you for being so harsh. I deserve to be damned. You can't even do this." Lu Yi's face turned pale and he was about to cry.

After Su Zhesang was frightened, she felt excited and refreshed. She did not blame Lu Yi, but laughed and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, isn't I a good person?"

"But just now-"

Lu Yi wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by a thin eunuch's voice, "Your Majesty has arrived——"

Before Su Zhesang could react, a pair of black boots with gold threads and dragon patterns crossed the threshold and came into view.

"What are you doing? It was so lively, I heard the noise from a distance." The tall and muscular emperor came in, one hand behind his back, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

He had just gone to Ziyun Palace to see Concubine Shu, and when he was passing by Yong'an Palace, he heard crisp laughter and exclamations coming from the red wall. In the deep silence of the palace road, it seemed so lively, as if it was another world.

So he couldn't help but stop. He wanted to see what kind of thing could make such happy and free laughter appear in the dead silence of the palace.

The first thing that caught his eye was a smiling face. The curved eyes were bright, as if scattered with scattered sunlight, and the white teeth and red lips had an innocence that had not been seen for a long time.

The queen is very different from her past meek and dignified appearance. The wide swing makes her petite and cute.

Her clothes and hair were also a little messy, but the emperor didn't think she was rude or embarrassed. Instead, she looked like a casual and happy elf.

In a harem that was generally docile and boasted of being knowledgeable and courteous, such a queen gave the emperor a certain impact.

In the emperor's opinion, the swing was too big and not very delicate.

But Fang remembered the laughter he heard on the palace road just now, and he felt lively and unique when he saw it. When he got closer, the bells jingled loudly.

It reminded him of an idle poem: There is a swing in the wall, a way outside the wall, pedestrians outside the wall, and a beautiful woman in the wall laughing.

The smile on Su Zhesang's face froze. It was really disappointing to see such a person when he was happy.

Su Zhesang was busy dancing on the swing, and Chongqing straightened her messed up clothes. She put away her wanton smile and lowered her eyes, covering the brilliance of her clear eyes.
