Lady Changning

Chapter 207 Anniversary in the bridal chamber, but she is the bride
"If the Empress Dowager is still not relieved, the concubine can continue."

Xi Lingyan gritted her teeth and continued, she was unwilling to lose, she didn't want anyone now, she wanted to live a better life than any of them, better than any of them, especially Xi Changning.

"Okay! You are planning to die here in this palace, is it to make this palace unlucky? Tell me what you want to do?"

A woman who dares to do this is either shocked or has reached a point of hatred.

"The concubine wants to be like the empress dowager, but now if she has the support of the empress dowager, it will not only be a concubine but also the blessing of the second prince."

Xi Lingyan spoke very calmly, but the content really shocked the Empress Dowager, she is really a woman with a serious tone.

"The tone is really not small, how can we two women do it?"

She was still thinking about what Xi Lingyan had said.

"If there is the power of the empress dowager, and someone beside the emperor helps, will everything go well?"

At this moment, Xi Lingyan's forehead had already been wiped clean of blood with her sleeve, leaving it red and swollen. There was a sly look in her eyes, and the only thing that could make a gentle woman so desperate was love.

The empress dowager was also attracted by her transformation, she decided to give it a go, she was already old, if she couldn't return to her old rights in her lifetime, she would die with regret.

"who is it?"

"Shh, the Empress Dowager will find out soon. At this time, the whole world will be yours."

The Empress Dowager was persuaded in the end, and handed over some power in her hands to Xi Lingyan.

The palace is so quick to turn the topic, as long as there is something new, it will be filled immediately.And the freshest thing is the big wedding between Huangfu Zimian and Princess Jing three days later, which is a great joy.

But there are always other things surging under the seemingly joyful.

"Xi Lingyan found Yan Xiufeng, which is different from what we thought."

The original plan should be for Xi Lingyan to control Xi Hanxue first.

On this point, Xi Changning was also thinking, the three sisters could be said to know the basics, and Xi Changning was confident that he could guess this point, but Xi Lingyan didn't do it.

"What did you find?"

Zimu shook his head, Xi Hanxue was like a canary living in a birdcage, unable to go anywhere, Yan Xiufeng never dared to look for Xi Hanxue after Xi Lingyan looked for it.

Wait, Zimu suddenly remembered the order of these things. Have they been too involved in this point, thinking that Yan Xiufeng can only be brought to justice by looking for Xi Hanxue first, so what if they look for Yan Xiufeng first?
Both of them suddenly thought of this, wanted to take a look, and immediately understood.

"Xi Lingyan doesn't intend to take credit anymore. It seems that she wants to use Xi Hanxue to blackmail Yan Xiufeng. What could it be?"

Perhaps only Yan Xiufeng knew this.

"Zimu, you and my elder brother must keep an eye on Xi Hanxue, and there must be no mistakes."

Now Xi Hanxue will have nothing to do with Ran, but it's hard to guarantee that Xi Lingyan will take all his anger on her because of the past.

The two of them fell into silence. They still didn't know that Xi Lingyan had gone according to their plan, why did he suddenly change?She has no relationship with Yan Xiufeng, what will happen if Xi Lingyan finds Yan Xiufeng?

The two of them couldn't figure it out, and finally had to give up thinking because of the voices outside, and decided to wait and see what happened.

"Empress, look at how well I can wear this for you to watch the ceremony three days later. It was sent by the sixth division."

While Mo Lian was speaking, Zi Mu had already left quietly.

Xi Changning looked at the bright red dress in her hand, it was extremely imposing, and the workmanship was also good, nothing to say, the phoenix embroidery was magnificent and expensive, this dress could only be worn by Xi Changning who is a queen.

"Mo Lian, you are pregnant, so you don't have to do these things anymore. And I don't want to wear this."

Xi Changning touched the dilapidated wooden sign in his sleeve, and said as if he had made up his mind.

Mo Lian handed the red dress to Xiao He, and walked to Xi Changning herself, looking at the firmness in her eyes, it seemed that she had already made up her mind.

"Does the Queen have a choice?"

Mo Lian asked Xi Changning, thinking that she has been wrapped in red clothes since she appeared in front of others. She didn't think much about it. This color is as conspicuous as her blood and hatred. Now she has nothing but this to support her. It was so pale.

What else could she choose but this color?When she was thinking hard, Mo Lian had already arranged for Xiao He to go to the Sixth Division, and in a blink of an eye the people from the Sixth Division were already in front of her.

"See empress empress, concubine lotus sent someone to say that empress wants to change clothes, servants and servants have the courage to come here."

The people in the six divisions perform their own duties, and they are in charge of food and clothing in the palace, everywhere.They present samples and fabric colors one by one, so that there are more options to choose from.

Xi Changning still couldn't make any choice, until one of them opened the booklet, and what appeared was the purple silk tribute from the Western Regions, which was faintly visible, and there was even a trace of light.

"That's it. As for the style, follow the style Hua Mudan made last time."

"Yes."

Xiao He left with the people from the Sixth Division, but Mo Lian stepped forward and saw that Xi Changning's improvement was surprisingly good recently, and he became plump.

"The empress is in a good mood, her body looks much better, and her complexion is also good."

Regardless of whether Mo Lian was flattering or not, no one could compare to Mo Lian, who was shining with the radiance of a loving mother, and Huangfu Shenqian loved her so much, so her complexion was naturally good.

The maid beside her handed over the teacup, and it wasn't until the two of them drank it that they realized that they had put it wrong.Mo Lian quickly vomited it out after drinking it, and it turned out to be a cup of strong tea.

"Damn the maidservant, sister Xiaohe ordered it just now, but the servant girl turned around and couldn't distinguish the teacups." The maid was very frightened.

It turned out that Mo Lian had a tendency to be happy recently, so Xiao He would tell others to make the sour plum juice, but the court lady couldn't remember which cup was which cup when she turned around to serve tea.

"Go on, don't make a mistake next time, go and get another glass of sour plum juice for Concubine Lian." Xi Changning was not angry at all, and seeing that Mo Lian was not angry was no big deal.

"Let the maid pass me another cup of tea, I'll drink all of this tea."

"No need, this sour plum juice is quite delicious."

Xi Changning also didn't have a particular favorite drink, she usually drank whatever the maid gave her, of course most of them were tea, so the maids thought she liked drinking tea.

Seeing Xi Changning drinking happily, Mo Lian was a little confused. If this sour plum juice was ordered by Xiao He, it must be sour. If it is not a pregnant woman, most people will feel sour after drinking it. This is an experiment between her and Xiao He. passed.

"Don't empress feel sour?" Mo Lian asked tentatively.

"It's okay if it's not sour."

Xi Changning looked at Mo Lian with a look of astonishment, and at this time the maid happened to come in with a cup, Mo Lian hurriedly took the cup in front of Xi Changning and handed it to the maid.

"Drink it."

The little palace maid thought that Mo Lian was angry, so she knelt down in fright and yelled for mercy, but Mo Lian repeatedly said to drink it, she took the cup tremblingly, as if she was going to die, drank it in one gulp, took it. Sour straight cough.

"It's sour."

With the maid's appearance, it was Xi Changning's turn to be surprised. She looked at Mo Lian in disbelief, and then at her stomach.I began to think in my heart, when was the last monthly letter?Since that time, she hasn't sent a monthly letter at all.

All of a sudden, Xi Changning's cheeks turned pale, a little pleasantly surprised and a little sad, all those inexplicable emotions came to his heart.

"Could it be..." Mo Lian tried her best to combine what Xiao He had told her about that night, and it seemed that they could be matched.

Afraid of being eavesdropped, Mo Lian scolded the little maid, saying that it was her punishment for her ignorance, and let her go down.Then he pressed Xi Changning step by step.

"I want him."

It turned out that her recent physical changes were all because of this life helping her. She was really happy. When she was about to die, a miracle happened.

Mo Lian knew that she shouldn't destroy her future, but her body was already overloaded and alive. Regardless of whether the child could survive, now that she was covered in poison, would the child really be fine?Besides, can she live to that time?
"Mo Lian, I know what you're worried about. No matter what the future holds, I'm not alone anymore."

Xi Changning can't laugh, but she felt it for the first time, that kind of complex emotion, she had lost it for too long, until just now when another person existed, she actually had a kind of joy and moving emotion rippling in her heart, She seemed to understand what it was like.

"But what about the emperor?"

Xi Changning stopped his joy, right, where is Huangfu Shenqian?It seems that he pays the most, but what?She took Mo Lian's hand.

"He has you and the child. That's why I think you can stand by his side." They will be happy, because Mo Lian is such a person.

But what Mo Lian thought of was that what Huangfu Shenqian wanted was always Xi Changning alone.

"I will leave, leave this place that binds me with hatred."

Xi Changning comforted Mo Lian, but Mo Lian looked at her in confusion. At this moment, Xi Changning seemed to be really about to disappear.She stepped forward and grabbed Xi Changning tightly.

"Mo Lian, you are the one who loves him and tolerates him. I am not, because you and I know from the beginning to the end that I have never forgotten that person."

Xi Changning said such words bluntly, what is impossible, Mo Lian also silently acknowledged all of this, in her eyes, Xi Changning is the most severe and bitter.

It's just that Mo Lian is very worried about Xi Changning's body, and even more worried about what kind of situation Huangfu Shenqian will fall into in the future.

Xi Changning is afraid that something will happen to the child, and can't wait for Zimu to come to him. At present, he is the only one she can trust.

It's a pity that the person she trusted the most opposed her, and poured cold water on her when she was the happiest.

"I don't agree." Zimu replied with certainty.

What time is it now, not to mention that Xi Changning really doesn't know how bad his body is?
"Changning, you can't keep this child. Your poison will only poison this child to death. What's more, your body can't afford you to have a child."

Zimu's words shattered Xi Changning's dream all along. She really thought that she was strong enough to protect her child no matter what happened.

"Zimu, I want this child, no matter what the price is."

Xi Changning's words made Zimu anxious and angry, so he didn't speak at all, ignored Xi Changning, and sulked himself.

The two of them were deadlocked, and Zimu even felt very regretful in secret, if he had not died and had taken her to see Huangfu Zimian, all this would not have happened, so Xi Changning would not have expected anything with this entanglement.

"If you want to keep the child, you can only force the poison to one place, so as not to hurt the child, but you don't know if your body can hold it. Maybe you won't be able to hold on to the moment of birth."

In the end, it was Zimu who compromised, and Xi Changning laughed through tears. She finally found a reason for her to live other than hatred.

"It really doesn't matter to me, even if I don't last, it's enough for me and my child to live and die together."

It may be too cruel for others, but for Xi Changning, this child is the reason for her to live, and it is good to live one more day.

Huangfu Shenqian deliberately organized a grand wedding banquet for Huangfu Zimian and Princess Jing, and even changed the venue of the officiant marriage to the palace. One can imagine how important he is, and even the slightest mistake can't be tolerated.

Because Princess Jing lives in the palace of the Empress Dowager, it is very convenient to come and go, in order to show her importance.Huangfu Shenqian, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager decided to let Huangfu Zimian set off from the palace and then meet the palace, in order to walk around the streets and let people know that Princess Jing is the princess.

Although they still have to enter the palace and walk along the avenue of the palace, it can be said that it is a toss, but they all enjoy it.

Mo Lian came early in the morning, and brought clothes made by Liu Si and matching jewelry. Xi Changning touched them one by one, and then asked the maid to change them for her.

Xi Changning's skin is very fair, with that kind of morbid transparency, she can wear any color just because of this, such a pure purple has an indescribable beauty on her body, without the flirtatious and naive contradiction before, Now it looks like a feathered fairy.

Coupled with Mo Lian's skillful decoration, long hair tied up, and purple jade steps complement each other, Xi Changning changed into a different person in an instant.

"Kemei?" Xi Changning was a little unsure, suddenly looked at himself in the mirror, and asked Mo Lian.

Mo Lian laughed, it was rare to see Xi Changning love beauty so much, aside from the festive appearance, Xi Changning looked so pitiful.

Outside the palace suddenly remembered the festive sound of beating gongs and drums, it should be that they had returned to the palace.Accompanied by Xi Changning's suddenly dim eyes.

"It's okay. You're not alone, and this will pass."

The two of them sat side by side, listening to the sounds outside. Although they didn't appear at the scene, the scene must have been spectacular. Which woman would have such a great honor to get married?
Princess Jing selfishly got everything she thought of by any means, but in the end, it left her wondering if she was happy.

"Xiao Jizi sees Empress Empress and Concubine Lian. The newcomer has already gone to the main hall. The emperor asked the servants to invite the two empresses to come."

The two glanced at each other, then set off to the main hall.When Xi Changning walked out of the dormitory and stood in the sunlight, Mo Lian and everyone present were astonished. The purple dress shone like stars, and even Xi Changning seemed to melt into the light, because The texture is light and thin, and the skirt flutters in the wind, like flying ribbons, which makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

Seeing that she was dazed, Mo Lian hurriedly followed Xi Changning's footsteps.

There were already quite a few people in the hall, and everyone was staring at the familiar but unfamiliar Xi Changning at this moment. She was like a fairy walking out of the sun, with winding skirts, walking gracefully towards Huangfu Shenqian.There is less hatred in the eyes, the black eyes with feather eyelashes flicker, and there is a little more pityful impulse, maybe this is the real her.

"A newcomer is invited to enter the palace."

Xi Changning was a little nervous. She clasped her hands and sat on the phoenix seat, trying to keep calm on her face.But when she saw Huangfu Zimian, she felt a little uneasy, her heart was beating wildly.

The eyes of the two met, full of complexity, and even more puzzled.

Her ears can't hear, and her eyes can't see anyone outside of him, so greedy, but unable to extricate herself.It's a pity that he is someone else's husband from now on, and what's even more worrying is that he has already forgotten who she is.

"Licheng."

These were the only two words she heard, and they kept rolling in her ears and in her mind for a long time. She used to marry him in the same way in Hengshan Village, and was led into the bridal chamber by him, but now he led others away and disappeared. .

"Today is a day of great joy. I will hold a banquet, and the families of the nobles don't need to stick to the etiquette."

Huangfu Shenqian smiled softly, serving food for Xi Changning, his handsome face was full of concern.

"You are so beautiful today." He approached her softly.

"The newcomers are here to toast."

I don't know who said something, Xi Changning's eyes were attracted to him again, the two people in wedding robes were full of smiles, and the ministers went up to toast one by one.

Finally, the two of them walked up to her and Huangfu Shenqian holding their cups.

"Thank you for the emperor's grace. Let's respect the emperor and the empress with this glass of wine, and wish them both happiness."

With a touch of pride and shyness, Princess Jing raised her glass and said these seemingly pleasing words, but in Xi Changning's view, it was just a kind of showing off.

"Princess, I and the empress should have said this to you. Do you think so, empress?"

Huangfu Shenqian and Princess Jing sang together, Xi Changning had no intention of resisting, raised his glass heartily, toasted them a glass of wine and drank it with his head raised.

"If you want to hear good things from Ben Gong, then you can avoid it, after all, Ben Gong has never said anything good."

Xi Changning's words made the hall quiet, no wonder such words were full of gunpowder.

Mo Lian immediately stepped forward to round up the field, holding a cup to respect the couple.

"I'm pregnant, but I also want to be happy. This wine is meant to be. I wish you two... happiness."

It wasn't until the last two words that Mo Lian understood Xi Changning's heart. Even a bystander like her couldn't say what Xi Changning said.

"Thank you, Concubine Lian." Princess Jing went down the steps.

But Huangfu Zimian at the side didn't make any response, he would drink if he had wine, and he would reply when he had something to say, he was like a walking corpse, the forced smile on his face was probably only understood by himself.

Even so, he couldn't help but look at Xi Changning, she is very special today.
