fisherwoman

Longtan Village.

There was laughter in the old house of the Xiao family.

Yang hugged her infant granddaughter with a smile on her face, and refused to let go at all. She was so happy that she cried for a while, laughed for a while, teased the child for a while, then looked at Lin Xueman, and saw that she was much thinner than before, and said angrily: "Xue Man, my mother treats you like a daughter, but you don't treat me as an old woman. You see, you would rather go to Yuezhi than go home. You said that when you came home, mother risked her life and would Take good care of your mother and daughter, it really makes my mother sad that you have been away for so long!"

As she spoke, she lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

"Mother, the situation was critical at the time, so I didn't think too much about it..." Lin Xueman sat on the warm kang, staring intently at his son who was having fun climbing up and down the window sill, and looked around at the familiar faces in the room. Everything, with a long sigh of relief, finally went home!

Outside the window, the north wind was blowing.

The house is as warm as spring.

"Do you see how thin you have become? I just said how they Yuezhi people will serve confinement. You are still so young. If you lose your body during confinement, how will you be better in the future? You are like this, from today, You just stay at home and have another confinement. My mother will serve you like Linlin. I don’t believe I can’t make up for a chicken a day. I’m going to catch the chicken now and cook it for you. !" Yang Shi said, put the child in her arms, rolled up her sleeves and left the house, walking towards the chicken coop.

"Mother, no need. Although I'm a little thinner, I'm still in good health. Besides, how can I mend the confinement period?" Lin Xueman heard that she wanted another chicken a day, and it must be chicken without salt.Thinking about it gave me a headache, and I hurriedly shouted out the window, "I really don't need it!"

"Don't worry, I'll put less salt for you this time, so you don't have to put it in secretly!" Yang said disapprovingly, "When you were confinement last time, Cheng Yu took the chicken to the kitchen and put it in secretly." Yan, I caught you straight away, you mother doesn't know!"

Lin Xueman heard the words.I couldn't help thinking about the scene at that time, and suddenly burst into a smile, Xiao Chengyu, you are a guy who has more than failed to succeed, you just go to the kitchen to grab some salt and you're done, why are you still carrying the chicken?

At this time.There was a sound of carriages outside the door.

Xiao Yun and Shunzi pushed the door in with the child in their arms. Seeing that Mrs. Yang was catching chickens, they couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, mother and we really have a good understanding. She knew we were coming back, so she killed chickens to entertain us!"

"Mom!" Shunzi hugged the child.He smiled naively at Yang Shi.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You didn't eat enough chicken when you were in confinement? This is stewed for your third sister-in-law!" Yang scolded with a smile, and wiped her hands on her apron.He hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the child in Shunzi's hands, and said with a smile, "Come on, hug my grandson." Then he said to Shunzi, "Son-in-law, since you're back, I'll leave the killing of the chicken to you." Now, your father is most worried about killing chickens. Kill a few more, and we will eat some."

"No problem!" Shunzi responded readily, rolled up her sleeves and leaned forward.

"Big sister!" Hearing the voice, Lin Xueman hurriedly put on her shoes and got off the kang, and saw that Xiao Yun was much plumper than before, with a delicate luster shining on his fair face, and she was no longer the yellow and thin little girl in memory up!

"Sister-in-law three!" Xiao Yun's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Xueman, he couldn't help walking a few steps, stepped forward to hug her tightly, and wept with joy, "You scared us this time, I thought I would never see you again it's your turn!"

"Such a grown-up man speaks so openly, what do you mean we'll never see you again?" Yang looked at the two aunts and sister-in-law who were hugging each other, smiled, and after hearing what Xiao Yun said, she said angrily, "Hurry up, Everyone sit on the kang!"

The aunt and sister-in-law joined hands and got on the kang.

"This is my little niece!" Xiao Yun got on the kang, hurriedly picked up the child on the kang, looked at the child with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law three, they say that my daughter is my mother's little padded jacket, you little padded jacket is long It's not like you!"

As he said that, he hugged Linlin again, and couldn't help laughing: "Why do these two children look like their father!"

"Who says it's not!" Lin Xueman also laughed, "It's too unfair. I worked so hard to give birth to them for ten months of pregnancy, but none of them are like me!"

Yang Shi and Xiao Yun laughed again when they heard the words.

"By the way, where is my father?" Xiao Yun realized that Xiao Jingzhi was not there.

"Your father knew that you were coming back today, and he said he was going to the town to buy some meat or something and come back and make dumplings for you to eat!" Yang smiled and said, "Your father, when you hear who is coming back, you will be so happy Like a child."

"That's right, my father is an old boy now!" Xiao Yun smiled and asked again, "Then when will my third brother come back?

Xiao Chengyu had just returned to Longtan Village with his wife and daughter, and before he had time to gain a firm foothold, he was hastily called back to the palace by the people in the palace, saying that Nalan Zetian had caught the wind and cold, and asked him to return to the palace to serve his illness.

Xiao Chengyu had no choice but to return to the palace in a hurry, saying that the emperor would come back as soon as he recovered from his illness.

"I don't know yet!" Lin Xueman smiled faintly, "I have to wait until the emperor is well before I can come back!"

"Oh!" Xiao Yun responded. Like Yang, she did not look at Xiao Chengyu differently because of his identity, which made Lin Xueman feel very comfortable. The letter said, we will come back after the first month of the new year, we haven't been together for a long time!, I just don't know if the eldest brother and the second brother will come back!"

"Your eldest brother and his family have returned to Dingyuan Town. It's freezing cold and the roads are difficult to walk. I'm afraid we won't be able to come back until it gets warmer. And your second brother has gone to the capital. Maybe he can go with your second sister. Come back, who knows! They can figure it out themselves!" Yang Shi said, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Mother and your father are both thinking about it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, you can live as you want, Mom and Dad won't interfere with you, anyway, Mom and Dad will stay in Longtan Village forever, waiting for you to come back!"

"Mother is so kind!" Lin Xueman and Xiao Yun said in unison.

"It's different for people who become mothers. Do you know how to praise your mother?" Yang looked at her daughter-in-law sitting on the kang, and scolded with a smile, "I don't know, I thought your sister-in-law had honey on her mouth!"

There was another laugh in the room.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Nalan Zetian leaned pale on the quilt, frowning slightly.Turning his head to look at Xiao Chengyu, he asked, "Why don't you see the Crown Princess?"

"Reporting to my father, the princess just gave birth to a child last month, she is weak, and she is recuperating in her hometown at this time, so she can't come to serve her sick, I hope my father will forgive me!" Xiao Chengyu hurried forward and said.

When Empress Su heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then they dimmed again.Such a big thing, she didn't even know...

"Well, you, the Crown Princess, have worked so hard to add another child to my Nalan family. It's really gratifying!" Nalan Zetian said with a smile from the corner of his eyes.Looked at Empress Su, and said, "Since the princess is weak, she should be taken into the palace to take care of her. After all, she is the daughter-in-law of our Nalan family, so what's the matter with keeping her in Xiao's house all the time?" ?”

"The emperor's words are very true. The concubine is negligent, so the concubine will send someone to bring her into the palace!" Queen Su said with downcast eyes.

"Thank you, Queen Mother. Yierchen thinks there is no need to take her into the palace. It is better to let her stay in Xiao's house, because she knows that her status is humble, so she doesn't want to enter the palace." Xiao Chengyu said, getting up Kneeling in front of Nalan Zetian's bed, he said with a solemn expression, "I have thought about it for a long time. I feel that this palace is not only not suitable for Lin Xueman, but also not suitable for my son. So I dared to beg my father and queen mother to let our husband and wife return home. Folks, live an ordinary life."

"You mean, you are willing to give up the whole country for this woman?" Nalan Zetian looked at Empress Su with some displeasure, and said unhurriedly.

"Yes!" Xiao Chengyu replied without hesitation.

Sitting there, Empress Su couldn't help crying, she didn't understand how things had come to this point....

"However, only you and Prince Rong are the only adult princes of mine. Not to mention that Prince Rong has been deceived by others and his whereabouts are still unknown. Just because you are my eldest son, you should inherit the throne. If you abandon me and the people of the world I don't care, only care about my own children's love, only care about my own happiness, is this what a man does?" Nalan Zetian got up and got out of bed, helped him up himself, and sighed, "Although I feel very sad when you say this, But I don't blame you, you didn't grow up with me since you were young, I owe you too much, after you returned to the palace, I only paid attention to your ability as a person, but didn't sit down and communicate with you, and didn't pay attention to your preferences And feelings are my fault, even if it is the royal family, it should have the warmth of ordinary people, so that the palace, the family, can be peaceful and not intimidating!"

"Your majesty, this concubine knows my mistake!" Empress Su knelt in front of Nalan Zetian and wept, "Everything is the concubine's fault, if it wasn't for the concubine's insistence on marrying my niece to Jin'er and letting the crown princess It hurts my heart, and things will not come to this world..."

If Nalan Jinxuan can't inherit the throne, the world will be in chaos. Of course, this is not what she wants to see!

"Of course you know your mistake, then show your sincerity and see if your son can forgive you!" Nalan Zetian raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as he forgives you, I will naturally have nothing to say!"

"I don't dare to think that way, after all, I have done something wrong!" Xiao Chengyu hurriedly supported Empress Su, and said sadly, "Speaking of it, it's all my fault..."

"No, it's the queen mother's fault!" Empress Su took his hand and cried, "Jin'er, queen mother, please, don't leave the queen mother!"

"Okay, don't blame yourself!" Nalan Zetian said, coughing violently again, and almost breathed out.

Panicked, the two rushed forward to beat their chests and rub their backs.

"Doctor!" Empress Su shouted in panic.

The imperial physician who had been waiting outside the hall rushed in to take the pulse.

There was another commotion in the room.

After a while, Nalanze slowly came to his senses, Xiao Chengyu was busy carrying a bowl, sitting beside the bed, and stepped forward to feed the medicine.

"Jin'er, look at my body, do you have the heart to abandon me?" Nalan Zetian paused after taking the medicine, looked at Xiao Chengyu, who was full of worry, and said, "Jin'er, these days, I've already It can be seen that you are not a child who is greedy for pleasure. You have been brave and resourceful, and you have won many battles. You are a rare pillar. It is not only a blessing for me, Nalan Zetian. The blessings of the common people, so I can't let you leave, because you can have the Crown Princess and I, and this palace at the same time, instead of you can only choose which one, if I help you keep the Crown Princess, will you just Promise to stay in the palace, by my side?"

"Jin'er, although the queen mother did not agree to make Lin Xueman the crown princess, the queen mother does not deny that she is a reasonable and good child, as long as we show sincerity. I think she will definitely be willing to enter the palace to accompany you, after all, you already have Two children, although we are the royal family, the royal family also has royal ties, and your two children are also the darlings of the father and mother, so no matter what, we must take them into the palace!" Queen Su Said, wiped the corners of his eyes.He said, "Your brother has been weak since he was a child, and your father has been working harder and harder, and his health is not as good as before. Daqi depends on you, and we can resolve our conflicts slowly. It's just that you can't just leave!"

Xiao Chengyu looked at Nalan Zetian who was lying on the sickbed, and then at Empress Su who was in great sorrow, and he couldn't help sighing: "Father, Queen Mother, son and Lin Xueman were married in the thatched cottage, and they fell in love with each other. I swear that I will never leave her in this life, and that life and death will accompany her. Therefore, wherever she is, my son will be there, and there will be no ambiguity in this life!"

"Never leave, never leave, life and death go hand in hand!" Empress Su smiled sadly, turned her head and said to Nalan Zetian, "Your Majesty, we also longed for such a relationship when we were young, but..."

Just for the throne.He married Concubine Liu Gui again, and from then on...

Nalan Zetian heard the words, pondered for a moment, and said: "Speaking of which, apart from being favored, this harem dispute is nothing more than a status. I don't believe it. My royal family has shown enough sincerity to not touch Lin Xueman's heart!"

Then, he turned his head to Li Wenquan, the personal eunuch standing at the door, and said slowly: "Li Wenquan, pass on my will, I know that time is short, so what I want to see most in this life is to see my great successor Someone, the country is eternal, immediately made the crown prince Nalan Jinxuan the emperor, and quickly passed the decree drafted by the Ministry of Rites to the world."

"I obey the order!" Li Wenquan said, and shouted to the people waiting outside the hall, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and pay homage to my new emperor Daqi!"

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty!" Everyone hurriedly bowed down in unison.

Xiao Chengyu stood there in a daze, unable to react for a moment, the matter was too sudden, right?

That's how he became the emperor?

"Jin'er, please make them flat!" Empress Su hurriedly reminded her in a low voice, her tone was indescribably relaxed, she instantly became a queen mother, and when her husband was still alive, she was naturally very happy .

"Pingshen!" Xiao Chengyu had no choice but to respond.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then everyone retreated one by one with different expressions.

"Jin'er, your father will issue two more imperial edicts for you, and you will never interfere with the government again!" Seeing Xiao Chengyu acquiescing to this identity, Nalan Zetian was relieved for a while, and then issued an edict, "Hurry up and recall the wandering people." Lin Haisheng, from now on, I will worship as the first and assistant minister, and let him continue to serve the court."

"Observe the order!" The guards around him took the order and left.

"With the Queen's gift, welcome Lin Xueman back to the palace!" Nalan Zetian said every word.

"Thank you, father!" Xiao Chengyu's eyes lit up, and he bowed again.

Floats drive the way, thousands of horses wear silk.

The red carpet paves the way, and the sound of gongs and drums.

Such a grand ceremonial convoy went straight from the capital to Yuzhou. Wherever it went, it was exempted from tax for three years.

The whole Yuzhou is boiling!

There are crowds of people everywhere, and everyone wants to see the new emperor and empress demeanor. For this reason, the government had to send troops to Longtan Town in advance to maintain order.

In comparison, Longtan Village is relatively quiet.

Although the gate of the Xiao family was surrounded by people, and the walls and roof were full of people, most of the people were whispering. The youngest of the Xiao family suddenly became the emperor, which shocked them very much, because they had heard that Xiao Cheng When Yu became the prince, most of them dismissed it and thought it was a rumor, because Ma Haoxuan was also the prince, so they didn't believe it at the time.

Of course, they can't be blamed for this, because the news was announced by Zhixian Lu, and they hated Zhixian Lu so much, so they didn't believe it at all!

The Xiao family was silent for a while.

Lin Xueman looked at the queen's gown on the red lacquer plate, she lowered her eyes and said nothing. She thought that after the emperor recovered from illness, Xiao Chengyu would come back to celebrate the New Year with her and the child. Set of queen dresses.

This is really not what she wants!

"The emperor is here!" A thin voice suddenly sounded in the silent courtyard.

Then, there was a sound of kneeling and worshiping outside: "Long live the emperor!"

"Pingshen!" The voice was calm.

Xiao Chengyu strolled into the room and saw Lin Xueman sitting by the bed in a daze.Then he smiled, stepped forward to embrace her, and whispered: "Why don't you change your clothes yet? Could it be that you are waiting for your husband to change them for you?"

"You clearly know about me, why do you still insist on letting me into the palace?" Lin Xueman turned her head away from him.

"Because the bed in the palace is firm!" He sat beside her and said solemnly, "I promise nothing like the last time will happen again. If you don't believe me, let's go into the palace and try?"

"Anyway, I don't want to enter the palace!" Lin Xueman suddenly felt dumbfounded.

"That. Why don't you try it here. Anyway, I think Yueshi's bed is the worst bed in the world. Can it compare to our big bed?" He said, leaning over to kiss her.

"What are you doing!" She couldn't help but push him away in shame, there were so many people standing outside.What kind of trouble is he going to do!

"You go back to the palace with me first, and I will explain to you after I go back to the palace. I have my reasons! Don't you always say that there is no letter of engagement between us! Look, this is the letter of engagement that Nalan Jinxuan gave you. You will be the queen." As he spoke, he took out a shiny golden letter of appointment from his pocket.Handed it to her, "Come with me! Don't worry. No one will bully you again!"

"Even if no one bullies me, I don't want to enter the palace, I just want to stay in Xiao's house and live a free life!" Lin Xueman didn't accept the letter of appointment, she shook her head, her eyes dimmed.

Lin Xueman said, and turned to look at Yang Shi and Xiao Jingzhi.I saw them standing in the back room with their heads down, silent.I can't help but feel sad for a while, these days, she is living here very happily, even waking up from a dream with a smile!

She really doesn't want to enter the palace!

"Empress, even if you are in the palace, you can still live a free life!" A figure walked in, it turned out to be the Empress Dowager Su, her eyes slowly passed over Lin Xueman's face, and she smiled faintly.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Xueman was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said.

How did she come?

"Get up!" Empress Dowager Su reached out to support her, took her hand, looked inside and outside Xiao's house, and said sadly, "You would rather stay here than go back to the palace. Mother-in-law hates it to the extreme, doesn't she?"

"The concubine doesn't dare!" Lin Xueman replied softly, "It's the concubine who doesn't want to enter the palace, nothing else!"

"Queen, since you have lived among the people, you naturally know that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will inevitably have bumps and bumps. You can't have some conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so you have to make peace with your husband, right? Anyway, I am Jin'er Mother-in-law, we are the real mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!" The Empress Dowager Su said kindly, "Of course you wrote and left the book last time as an expedient measure, I can understand, but now I, the mother-in-law, come to pick you up in person Going home, I have admitted my mistake to you, you must give me this face!"

"Your servant obeys the order!" Seeing that Lin Xueman was still unmoved, Xiao Chengyu hurriedly stepped forward to hold Queen Mother Su's hand, and said, "Please mother, please go to the back room to rest for a while. After the queen washes up, we will set off immediately!"

"Hmm!" Empress Dowager Su smiled at the two of them and entered the back room.

"Your Majesty!" Yang Shi and Xiao Jingzhi greeted her hurriedly.

"Mother, it's getting late, hurry up and change your clothes!" Song Zhu held the lacquer plate, brought the clothes in front of Lin Xueman, and said with a smile, "My servant is here to help you!"

Lin Xueman could only nod her head.

The queen mother is here, if I continue to be awkward, it will be a bit too much!

Perhaps, this is her fate!

After changing her clothes, she sat in front of the dressing table again, and let Songzhu put those glittering golden hairpins on her temples one by one. She looked at the strange-looking face in the mirror, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile. Weiqiao, is this still me?

The woman in the mirror was wearing a light yellow embroidered palace dress, even in this dimly lit room, it still shone faintly, luxurious and noble, and her temples were covered with the same golden hairpin rings. A jade hairpin inlaid with emeralds, Xiao Chengyu probably bought her another one!

She instantly became the incomparably noble Empress Daqi!

Once upon a time, she was an authentic fisherwoman. In this yard, she dried fish, dried seaweed, and made canned fish to subsidize her family...

Until she was surrounded by everyone and boarded the extremely gorgeous carriage, she still had a very unreal feeling, was she dreaming?

In a long ancient dream?

The carriage slowly drove forward along the red carpet.

Lady Herring, Lady Xu, and Ershuan's daughter-in-law passed by far away.

Farewell, Longtan Village!

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Chengyu shook his hand in front of her, jokingly said, "What? Are you so happy?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Xueman smiled faintly, looked down at the palace clothes on her body, that unreal feeling came to her heart again, she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Chengyu, and asked, "Where's the child?" I haven't seen him for a while baby!

"They are in the Queen Mother's car." Xiao Chengyu smiled, "The Queen Mother said that since our daughter was born in Yuezhi, she specially named her Ruyue, how about it?"

"Well, it's very nice!" Lin Xueman nodded, and she couldn't disagree with the name given by the Empress Dowager.

Because Linlin's name was given by Xiao Jingzhi, Nalan Zetian didn't change his name, he just said that it would be good to change his surname, so Xiao Zhenqing became Nalan Zhenqing!

"Xueman!" Xiao Chengyu embraced her and said emotionally, "From now on, we are no longer Xiao Chengyu and Lin Xueman, but the emperor and queen of Daqi, so we must work together, Take good care of Daqi, so no matter what we do in the future, we must put the overall situation first, you must support me, trust me, and help me, okay?"

"Okay, I believe that you will definitely make Daqi a truly great country!" Lin Xueman smiled, leaned in his arms, stroked his strong arms, and said quietly, "It's just that you are nine years old now. Fifth Lord, I don't know if I can still treat me like before..."

"Although you have become a queen, you are still a little woman. After so many wars and turmoil, all businesses are waiting to be prosperous. What I want to do is to quickly restore Daqi's production and strengthen the country's strength, instead of spending time and indulging in wine and sex all day long. It is an act of subjugation, and I will never be a king of subjugation and let future generations laugh at me!" He smiled, grabbed her hand, and slowly clasped his fingers together, saying emotionally, "There is a pair of people for a lifetime, one emperor and one queen One day!" As he said, he bowed his head and kissed her tenderly...

In the carriage, there was a scene of beauty!

The guard of honor slowly drove out of Yuzhou City and headed for the capital.

Wherever they passed, the red carpet rolled up slowly without leaving any traces.

outside the crowd.

Lin Xuechuan stood there, looking at the guard of honor slowly leaving, lowered his head to the child in his arms, and said sadly: "Son, do you know? Your mother and I were originally ordered by the queen! It's just a trick of fate..."

Seeing the child looking at her innocently, she continued: "Really, I am really the queen's life! The current emperor was originally my husband!"

"Auntie, it's getting late, let's go!" The people around urged impatiently.

"Here we come!" Lin Xuechuan sadly jumped into the carriage with the child in his arms, and the carriage drove away in dust! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
