The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 293, Empress

"Is the child good or not? Is there any fuss?"

Qi Yao smiled slightly, and gently stroked Su Han's tall belly with his big palm, cautiously and full of anticipation.

Speaking of the child, Su Han pursed his lips, and couldn't hide the softness in his eyes, "He is very good. When I saw my mother pregnant with sister Xi, I tossed my mother to death. He vomited whatever he ate, and he lost a lot of weight. My father is very distressed, but there is nothing I can do, I can't stand it, now it's my turn, I can eat and sleep, and I am very well-behaved."

"That's good." Qi Yao said lightly.

Su Han's palm lightly covered Qi Yao's big palm, smiling brightly, as if the most magnificent flower bloomed, dazzlingly beautiful.

Qi Yao's heart tightened, before leaving, Jing Min's last words were deeply imprinted in his mind, Qi Yao shook his head, he didn't believe what fate, he would definitely be able to protect Su Han and the child.

Qi Yao forcibly put those things aside, and became busy every day, and would accompany Su Han for a walk when he was free.

The cloud of doubts in Su Han's mind could not find any clues, maybe she was thinking too much.

The days come and go, and pass quickly.

On this day, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill and fell into a coma for three consecutive days.

"How could this be?" Su Han's brows twitched even faster, these days he was always restless, as if something was about to happen.

"The emperor is already in poor health. He has been taking pills for these years. In the past year, he has called the imperial physician more and more times."

Qingshu said in a low voice.

Su Han understood, his brows were furrowed. The death of Emperor Jinglong in his previous life, the whole country mourned, and he fasted for a month. Su Han had some impressions.

Counting the days, it should be just a few days ago, Su Han sighed, this time maybe he was exhausted.

The difference is that after the death of Emperor Jinglong in the previous life, Eastern Chu suffered internal and external troubles and endless strife, which led to the decline of Eastern Chu's national power.

But in this life, Qi Yao is the prince of a country, holding great power, and Su Ting is guarding the capital, so it should be fine.

The next day
"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor Zhao said, today, I uphold God's will, and the nobles are gentle and respectful, and the wisdom and fragrance are my rewards. I often comfort and warn me. State affairs come first, and the talents are appointed. I hear the feeling and be vigilant for a while. Today I specially confer the title of Empress Jiarou on this noble lady, and I hereby declare it to the world, respect it."

Kyoto, which was originally silent, completely boiled with this imperial decree.

The nobleman Liqing is the queen?
Since then, under the imperial decree, there have been constant voices of questioning, and there are many censors who have participated in the petition. The Qing nobleman has only entered the palace for more than half a year, has no heirs, and has no strong background. His identity is unknown. How can he be the Eastern Chu at a young age? What about the queen.

It's just nonsense!
This is really unheard of, not only that, but a grand wedding will be held three days later, and the household department is ordered to make up for it.

The phoenix crown and Xiapei symbolize the glory of the empress, and it is no less than marrying the former empress, and even worse.

The phoenix crown is strung with tribute beads, and the middle pearl is a rare and rare Dadong bead. It is luxurious and grand, and it takes a lot of effort to put on a phoenix crown.

Being able to prepare all these things within three days means that Emperor Long will start preparations in the next month.

The censors were so angry that they knelt in front of the Yizheng Hall all night, and Emperor Jing Long didn't see anyone.

"My lords, go back, the emperor has made up his mind, why bother to annoy the emperor and ask for trouble."

Even the father-in-law persuaded him helplessly, but unfortunately, the people below, as if the pot had exploded, firmly disagreed.

"Your majesty, the matter of becoming an empress is not a joke. A young man has no talent or virtue, and has never contributed anything to Eastern Chu. How can he be an empress? Your majesty, please think twice."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

There was a lot of resistance and discussion, and they disagreed with everything.

Just at this time, Qi Yao came over, and several censors pointed their finger at Qi Yao.

"His Royal Highness, I implore Your Royal Highness to persuade the emperor, how can the noble Qing be the empress?"

"Your Highness, I implore Your Highness to think twice."

Qi Yao was tall and straight, standing in the middle of the crowd, with a look of arrogance, raised his eyebrows, "The imperial decree has been issued, how can Gu influence the decision of the emperor's grandfather?"

"Your Highness, now you are the only one who can persuade the emperor. Qinggui is the empress. This is going to make Dongchu's face worse. This will make the people of the world think of Dongchu."

"Yes, Your Highness, the identity of Qinggui is unknown, and it is the Marquis of Jin'an who pays tribute. Maybe it is a secret work sent by another country to destroy our Eastern Chu Rivers and Mountains."

"Lord Liu is right. Your Highness, think twice. Now that the emperor insists on marrying Qinggui as his queen, he will not see us behind closed doors. Now only His Highness has the ability to persuade the emperor. No matter how bad it is, giving a concubine is flattering."

Qi Yao pursed his lips tightly, dressed in a purple-black robe, with a silver dragon embroidered on the neckline and on the chest, lying on the ground, ready to go, as if he had the momentum to soar into the sky, straight to the sky, exuding a natural domineering aura all over his body , makes people feel convincing.

"My lords are worrying too much. If you can let Eastern Chu destroy the country with a little girl, then what's the use of you ministers, what's the use of being alone?"

Qi Yao pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes were sharp and murderous, "Or are you all questioning Gu's ability, and not worthy of being the crown prince of a country?"

"This..." Several adults looked at each other, a little at a loss, they didn't mean that at all, Qi Yao completely distorted their meaning.

"Wei Chen is frightened."

Qi Yao sneered, "I'm not so fatuous and incompetent that I attribute a failure to a woman!"

Qi Yao's words made several ministers blush, as if they had become the kind of cowardly ministers Qi Yao said, they were useless and could only shirk their responsibilities.

"Defending the family and defending the country is a man's job, so what's the matter with a woman? You all go back, three days later, prepare to attend the wedding banquet!"

Qi Yao's eyes swept away, and the ministers swallowed back what they said. They were full of enthusiasm, but they were dismissed by Qi Yao in a few words.

Several people were a little depressed, but they didn't dare to refute, and they didn't dare to offend the master in front of them.

One person took the lead to leave, and the rest followed suit. Their figures were lonely, and they left as if they were fleeing for refuge. There were also one or two people who were persistent and refused to leave. The stubbornness engraved in their bones could not be pulled away by nine cows. return.

Qi Yao squatted down halfway, and couldn't laugh or cry with these two people. These two people are well-known in Beijing as straight-hearted, they don't know how to beat around the bush, and they don't know how to flatter them.

"Your Highness, there is no need to persuade me anymore. I have already made up my mind, but Qing Noble is not suitable for the mother of Eastern Chu. Which queen in the past is not a descendant of a famous family. Qing Noble has insufficient status, let alone be a queen."

One of them straightened his neck, and he was not afraid of offending Qi Yao, so he said whatever he had.

"Lord Li, this statement is wrong. Marrying Qinggui to be the queen is for the joy of the emperor's grandfather. The emperor's grandfather is in danger, and Qinggui's fate is just the most suitable. As long as there is a chance, Qinggui's status is low. What about the fate of the imperial grandfather?"

Qi Yao was quite helpless, looking at the sky, feeling very dull in his heart, frowning, feeling a little depressed all the time.

"This..." When the two were mentioned like this, they stopped talking immediately and looked at each other. Compared with the life of the emperor, the position of a queen is not enough to compare.

"Since it is the intention of Qin Tianjian, excuse me for being stupid, let me leave."

Master Li stood up, trembling, and left with another adult.

Even the father-in-law was slightly startled, the prince is really good at it, he got rid of the two most difficult ones, and this matter is equivalent to a success.

"Go back and serve him, he doesn't have to worry about the rest."

Qi Yao was about to leave, but Eunuch Lian stopped Qi Yao.

"Your Highness, the Emperor invites you to come in."

Qi Yao raised his eyebrows and turned around to go in. Sandalwood was lit in the room, and the aroma was tangy. Emperor Jing Long was sitting on the couch, drinking tea and playing chess leisurely. There was no discomfort at all in that state. Like a dying person.

"You are here. I have thought about this game of chess for a long time, but I have never thought of how to break it. It has been exactly 20 years, and it is still a gift from an expert."

Emperor Jinglong held a cup of tea in his hand, but his eyes fell on the chessboard, still unable to comprehend it.

"A game of chess played for 20 years?"

Qi Yao sat on the other side, looking at the black and white pieces on the board, surrounded by each other, but strangely, from another angle, the black and white pieces looked like dragons and phoenixes flying, clinging to each other.

"Is this dragon and phoenix chess?"

Qi Yao had heard of it, but hadn't seen it.

Emperor Jing Long nodded, "That's right, there are only these two pairs in the world, and even the master may not be able to untie them. Life is death, and death is life."

Qi Yao suddenly remembered Master Jingmin's words, and murmured slowly, "In this chess game, the dragon and the phoenix are intertwined. If one dies and the other runs out of energy, it must not be far from death. Therefore, at most it can only be a draw."

Emperor Jing Long was slightly surprised, and nodded, "You're right, I don't know whether this chess is up or down, I guess it should be the lower one, but I don't know who owns the previous one. If you have a chance, you must To find this complete dragon and phoenix chess game for me, I have been looking for it for so many years, but there has been no news, maybe you still have a chance."

Qi Yao was rubbing a sunspot with both hands, and one was sandwiched between his slender fingers. Under his white skin, the sunspot seemed to be more translucent, very beautiful.

"Why are you looking for it?" Qi Yao is not interested in a piece of endgame.

When Emperor Jing Long heard this, his expression immediately turned serious, and he glared at Qi Yao angrily, "Stinky boy, you want me to die without worrying about my life, don't you?"

With a bang, Qi Yao put down the chess piece, and dropped the chess piece in his hand in one place. It was very inconspicuous, like a useless piece, and had no threat to the white piece.

Emperor Jinglong looked at it and smiled, "Stinky boy, stop with silence, haha, you are somewhat similar to your father He Guogong, you deserve to be a father and son."

Hearing this, Qi Yao lost interest and let go of his hands, and the black pawn fell back into the chess box.

"so what?"

"How do you think I will punish the He family?" Emperor Jing Long smiled lightly, looked at Qi Yao, and his tone was slightly tentative.

Qi Yao pursed her lips, "To me, the life and death of the He family is not much different, but life can be dead. Before the life experience was revealed, the He family resented their mother for more than ten years. They thought it was me but died. Grandson, I don't have any regrets, but now I just feel sorry for the status of the prince."

Qi Yao stood up slowly, "If you want to kill or cut into pieces, I have nothing to say, you are just irrelevant people."

Emperor Jing Long smiled, and did not see the slightest doubt in Qi Yao's eyes, he was calm, as calm as a puddle of water, calm and calm.

Emperor Jing Long suddenly thought of King Xun. Back then, King Xun and Qi Yao were incompatible, like enemies.

Now in the He family, Emperor Jing Long smiled without saying a word, watching Qi Yao's back getting farther and farther away, and smiled melancholy.

The palace began to be decorated, tall red lanterns were hung, and red silk covered every corner of the palace, which was very festive, and even the maids wore bright pearl flowers on their heads to celebrate.

Yihe Palace

Qing nobleman stood and let the ladies of the palace slowly put the bright red wedding dress on her body. Under the layers of flowers, the petals seem to come alive, blooming slowly, very lifelike, beautiful and eye-catching.

Even Qing Guiren was stunned, looking at his elegant, graceful and luxurious self in the mirror, it was a little unreal.

She is actually going to be a queen, the mother of a country, this is beyond the dreams of Qinggui.

"I ask you, will you announce to the world in three days to worship the ancestors?"

Qing nobleman grabbed the hand of one of the maids and asked.

The court lady nodded, "Return to the empress, the emperor has made a decree, and it will be announced to the world in three days, and everyone in the capital will watch and pray for blessings."

Qing Guiren nodded, "Then Marquis Jin An will also come, won't he?"

The corner of the maid's mouth froze, but she nodded quickly, "Yes, Marquis Jin'an is a member of the royal family, so he will come naturally, empress, it's time to try the phoenix crown, if it's not suitable, quickly ask the master to adjust it."

The corners of Qing Noble's mouth curled up, glanced at the phoenix crown placed on the tray, lifted the red cloth, revealed it, and gasped suddenly, Qing Noble had never seen such a beautiful phoenix crown in his life, luxurious Atmospheric, exquisite and detailed.

Carefully lifted by the two maids, it slowly landed on Qing Guiren's head. In an instant, the room seemed much brighter, and the maids looked a little surprised.

Just then, a figure walked in.

"The slaves will see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Emperor Jing Long supported Eunuch Lian's arm, and walked in slowly. Emperor Jing Long's gaze was fixed on the dazzling red, the familiar figure, which he was always thinking about, suppressed in his heart. That layer, like a scar has been uncovered.

Emperor Jinglong had never dared to come to Yihe Palace, that face was too similar, as if Qinggui came back to life.

When Qing nobleman turned his head, a familiar face came into view, and Emperor Jing Long took a tight breath.

"Qing'er?"

The nobleman Qing smiled lightly, and the delicate and charming smile like a picture bloomed in an instant, so beautiful that it was unreal.

With just one look, Emperor Jinglong could immediately tell the difference. Qinggui would never look at him with a smile on his face.

Tangled in coldness, intertwined with love and hate, arrogant as a lotus, especially those eyes that are as dim as falling stars, it makes people feel distressed.

The young nobleman in front of him, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, was different after all.

"The courtiers and concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe."

Qing nobleman stood up slowly, and with the support of the maids, he lowered his body halfway.

"Get up." Emperor Jing Long came back to his senses, and with a wave of his hand, Qing Guiren got up, "This wedding dress fits well, and what you passed on is just right."

Qing nobleman smiled, looked down at the extravagant wedding dress, felt the material in his hand, full of joy.

Emperor Jing Long looked at it, a little displeased, Qing Guiren simply couldn't hold back the scene, he was too impetuous, if it was replaced by another person, the effect would be very different.

"The courtiers and concubines should show more love from the emperor. This wedding dress also has a phoenix crown. The courtiers and concubines all like it. It is dignified and magnificent, especially the pattern."

Qing Guiren couldn't put it down, the pattern didn't seem to be popular in recent years, it was a style she had never seen before.

Emperor Jing Long squinted his eyes, this corset had been shelved for decades, but looking at it now, it seemed like a world away.

"It's fine if you like it. If there is something inappropriate, let the master change it."

Qing nobleman smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, this wedding dress is not too big or too small for this concubine, it is just right, there is no need to change it, your majesty, you still remember the concubine's size, concubine, thank you for your kindness."

After hearing the words, Emperor Jinglong glanced at Qing Guiren again, stood up suddenly, left a few instructions, turned around and left, as if fleeing from disaster.

If he stayed for a while longer, Emperor Jing Long was afraid that he would not be able to take it anymore, so he would not be able to help but confide.

"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Lian sighed.

"I'm fine, let's go."

After Emperor Jinglong left, Qing Guiren stood in front of the mirror in a daze for a while, as if it was a little unreal, as a woman can wear such a wedding dress for a lifetime, even if she dies, she will have no regrets.

Especially, in the harem, which concubine would not desire to wear bright red one day?
During the reign of Emperor Jinglong, Qinggui was actually the first queen, and the former queen was abolished, so Qinggui was equivalent to the queen of the Yuan Dynasty.
