The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 285
He hurried all the way, and finally arrived at Shengjing on the eighth day after the late emperor's death.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the weeping of the country is more obvious. Just after the Seven Sacrifice Festivals, the red lanterns on the official roads have been removed and replaced with white paper lanterns, and white cloths are tied in front of every house.There is a curfew in the whole city, restaurants, teahouses, singing and dancing halls and other places of entertainment are all closed. After the national cry period in January, they will open soon...

I rode horses all the way to the princess's mansion, the mansion had already prepared plain clothes, I changed the flower decorations in my hair for plain silk, and I went to the palace right away.After displaying my waist card, some eunuchs took me to the sacrificial hall.

After some kneeling and saluting, there was singing and shouting from behind, and the prince Helian Yunzhao had arrived.

I haven't seen him for a few months, but he has lost some weight. He is wearing a dragon robe with hidden dark patterns, a dragon crown carved with ink jade on his head, and shallow walking boots with mink soles. He walks into the house with his hands behind his back. After all the salutes, I gave him a shallow salute.

"Going out for a while, why are you being more polite?" His voice was slightly hoarse.

I nodded back.

"Let's go for a walk." He bowed and saluted the late emperor, turned around and left the sacrificial hall.

I also saluted, turned around and followed out.

Today's weather is fine, the weather is sunny and sunny, the winter jasmine flowers in the palace have already bloomed, yellow and pink, thick clusters are crowded on the branches, adding a lot of vitality to this dry and deep palace.

He walked silently all the way, with his hands behind his back, walked around in a circle, and finally arrived at a small pond in the imperial garden.

There are a few spring peaches around, which have sprouted and sprouted, birds are singing in the distance, and the green grass by the pond exudes a green fragrance. The koi in the pond surface from time to time, spit out a bubble, and dive quickly to the bottom of the water.

After all, this palace is quiet and elegant, but I prefer the blessed land and caves in the Valley of Death.

Of course, what I like more is the swing there.

Thinking of the scene of swinging that day, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my lips, there was a breeze blowing, and the fragrance of grass was long.

Helian Yunmao turned around and said, "I have sent Tian Ni back to Dongmu."

I nod.

He hooked his lips and smiled, "You really didn't respond, not even a hint of joy."

I saluted lightly, "The late emperor passed away, and Qing Mu is the imperial concubine princess. I am grateful for the late emperor's great love, and remember the late emperor's long kindness. I feel sad and timid in my heart, and dare not have the slightest joy."

Helian Yunzhang's eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, but he didn't speak.

The wind blew, and his Tibetan-colored robes moved slightly. Only then did I realize that Helian Yunzhao, who loves moon-white clothes the most, had already put on Tibetan-colored clothes at some point.

He stared at the koi in the pond for a while, and stretched out his hand, the eunuch next to him rushed to bring the fish food, he twisted some of his long fingers, and raised it lightly...

After raising it a few times, he asked me softly, "I have made some great achievements in the army, but what do you want?"

I shook my head, "Sharing worries for the emperor is what a courtier should do, and I dare not ask for any reward."

He stopped feeding the fish, let go, put all the fish food into the pond, and turned around slowly.

"You go down first."

"Yes." Gong'e, the eunuch next to me, took the order, stepped back lightly after saluting, and after a while, we were the only ones left by the pond.

His eyes darkened, and a fierce aura emanated from his body. It was clear that the wind was light and calm, but I actually felt that the air was very oppressive.

"Qingmu, go out for a while, you seem to be different, huh?" He took a step forward.

I took half a step back calmly, and he stepped forward again. When the wind blew, the light fragrance of Lengmei lingered in my nose.

"No matter what His Royal Highness said, Qing Mu is still the former Qing Mu, but now His Royal Highness has a different identity.

In a few days, it will be His Highness's enthronement ceremony. At that time, Qing Mu will change his words to call His Highness His Majesty, so naturally he dare not make any mistakes. "

"rash……"

He twitched his lips, "Since when have you been so polite? When you were young, you dared to use a stack of straw paper to blackmail a gambling house. When you grow up, it's even worse. If you dare to bet in a tent in the frontier, you dare to bet." Pointing the sword at my throat, now, why are you talking about making troubles?"

I smiled slightly, "Qingmu was still young at that time, so it was more offensive, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Is there anything less?"

Helian Yunmao laughed again, "You mean, you are not a child anymore, you are sensible?"

There was a hint of thorn in his words, I didn't know what he meant, so I just nodded slightly.

He pondered for a while, and said, "Six days later, the crown prince's enthronement ceremony will be held. Every border war will be successful. The treasure you found will greatly solve the shortage of the treasury. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to pardon the world and save the people of Xiqi Taxes of the year."

"Your Highness is concerned about the country and the people, and will become a wise king in the future."

His expression finally softened a little, "Whether he will be a wise king or not will be judged by future generations after a hundred years. Concern for the country and the people is also the responsibility. It is not too urgent to throw those away. What I am thinking now is another one thing."

My eyebrows suddenly jumped twice.

Sure enough, I heard him say, "Baili Tianni has left Xiqi, and the crown prince has no concubine in his palace, so I want to use the day of the enthronement ceremony to hold a ceremony to make you the empress of Xiqi Zhenggong and hold the Phoenix seal." , Tong Liugong."

"Boom..." My head seemed to be shaken by thunder and fire.

Before he could recover, he said again, "Oh, I almost forgot, you only need to hold the phoenix seal. You and I have already agreed that we will be a couple for a lifetime, and you will be the only one in my harem."

"Boom..." I seemed to be shocked again, and it took me a long time to recover.

"Your Highness, I..."

"I know, you think it's a little sudden, but I don't think it's sudden. During the time you left, I thought a lot, just like being poisoned, thinking about some things in the past all the time.

Over the years, you have done too many things, you want unlimited glory, you want to be favored alone, I can fight for you, and you don't need to fight for it yourself.

You just need to sit in the Phoenix Palace with peace of mind, and I will make you the most honorable woman in Tianqi Land, enjoy unlimited glory, and be worshiped by the world! "

His eyes became darker and darker as he spoke, a little agitated.But the more I listened, the more frightened I became.

Marry him as queen...

How can this be, I'm already Brother Xu Chen.

That day his father and queen mother came out, wearing wedding gowns and red candles. Although it was an oolong mess, it was still counted as paying homage, and I was willing to marry him.

Now this Helian Yunmao...

How should I tell him...

Originally, I thought that if Baili Tianqi died, the revenge would be avenged, so I would not go back to Shengjing, but go directly to Zhonglu with Brother Chen.Unexpectedly, that Baili Tianqi envoy ran away under his nose.

With his personality, it won't be long before there will be a big move, so some of my plans must continue.At this time, if I talk to Helian Yunzhang about the situation...

"Why, you don't want to?" Helian Yunzhao's eyes darkened, "Qingmu, aren't you happy with this? I've already made a promise, what else do you want?"

I don't want anything, I just don't want to marry you...

After thinking about it, I said, "His Royal Highness, when you ascend the throne in the future, you will be the emperor of a country. If you only marry one person..."

"So, that's what you're thinking about." His face softened, "You don't need to worry too much about this. I've already talked about this matter with my queen mother, and she also nodded. Before you come back, I have asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare the phoenix robe for the grand ceremony.

I don't know what you like, so I made several designs. If I have free time, I will order someone to take you to have a look, choose carefully, be happy, and wait for the grand ceremony of sealing the queen six days later. "

This is terrible, Feng Pao has done it, some things, I am afraid that I will suffer...

Or, tell the truth?As for the matter of revenge, it is better to have a long-term plan...

After pondering for a moment, I took a deep breath, "His Royal Highness, Qingmu can't..."

"Report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." A eunuch walked over in small steps and saluted.

Helian Yunmao cast a glance at him, and he hurriedly reported, "His Royal Highness, the Yi Ning Palace sent someone to spread the news, saying that the Empress had already prepared the princess's favorite food when she heard that Princess Ning'an was back. Eat some food, wait for the princess to pass.

The visitor also said that the lady has been suffering from a cold for the past few days, and her headaches come and go, so she took the medicine, and after waiting for a long time, she might fall asleep. "

Helian Yunmao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "In this case, you should go and see your mother, she has liked you since she was a child, and she will miss you very much after you have been away for a few months."

Looking for me in such a hurry, I'm afraid it's not as simple as thinking about it.

Nodding my head and saluting, I left with the eunuch, led by the female officer next to the former empress, and soon arrived at Yining Palace.

I haven't seen her for a few months, and the empress has changed a lot. She took off her embroidered phoenix robe and put on a simple plain shirt of rough linen. All the gilt jewels have been removed from her head, and the bun she is wearing is fixed with a carved pear-blossom wood hairpin.

She didn't apply any makeup or rouge, and her complexion wasn't very good either. At first glance, she seemed to be five or six years older than a few months ago.If it weren't for being supported by a noble and proud body, she would really be no different from the mistress of an ordinary household.

"See empress empress." I stepped into the hall shallowly, and made a big salute with my hands together.

"Ahem, Ning'an, don't be too polite, come here and let Ai's family take a look."

She covered her lips with a handkerchief, coughed twice, then smiled and waved to me.

I walked over shallowly, she stretched out her hand and took my hand, looked up and down as usual, and then said with a distressed voice, "Hey, Ning An, why have you lost so much weight again, Aijia listened to you earlier In the army, there is a lack of food and food, I really miss it, I wish I could replace everything in the palace with food and send it to the border, ahem..."

She coughed a few more times, and the female officer next to her hurriedly brought a small cup of Chuanbei loquat, she took a sip, and seemed to be a little better.

Smiling and apologizing, "Hey, it was windy a few days ago, and somehow I caught a cold. It's been a few days, but it doesn't get better. I'm afraid it won't take a few days, and I will go to accompany the late emperor."

I just said, "Your Majesty's blessings are profound, and the people of Xiqi have to be blessed by your Empress' blessings. Your Majesty's illness is just a minor illness. Take the medicine on time and rest. It won't take a few days for the illness to recover."

"It's still Ning'an, you can talk, a few words, and I feel warm in my heart." Empress Xian smiled, waved her hand, and the female officer brought a few trays, which contained a few plates of pastries and candied fruit, and a cup of fragrant boiled of sugar water.

She picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and handed it over with a smile, "Ning An, this is the roasted almond that you have liked since you were a child. It's just right for hot and cold. You must have eaten nothing after traveling all the way. Something, hurry up and eat some."

"Thank you, ma'am." I took it with a nod and took a sip. The syrup tasted good.

Ever since Luzhu got married, I went all the way to the border, and I was busy with this and that. It's been a long time since I sat down to drink a cup of sugar water with peace of mind.

It's been four months since Luzhu got married, and she doesn't know what's going on.But with Donghu around, there is nothing to worry about. Speaking of hurting people, the Zhonglu man will not lose to anyone.At this moment, Luzhu must be afraid of being melted in the mouth, and afraid of being exposed to the sun while holding it.

"Come on, Ning'an, don't just drink sugar water, eat a piece of pine nut cake." The queen took another piece of ointment cake, and I was naturally thankful.

After I finished eating a piece of muffin, the queen gave me another piece of lotus cake, and sighed, "Hey, you child, no one loves you since you were a child, and you have no siblings. It's really hard to live. When Aijia thinks of these things about you, he feels very sour in his heart."

Um?Okay, why are you talking about this?

If nothing happens, you are a demon. If you knew that you called me so urgently, you would definitely not just eat sugar water. This is about to come...

I immediately nodded in cooperation, "All these years, I have been taken care of by my empress, and Ning An understands her kindness."

"You child, if you say this, you are too alien. When you were young, Aijia liked you very much, and always wanted you to join my royal family. Later, the first emperor named you the princess. This matter Just put it down first. Keke..."

She coughed twice again, and suddenly there was a slight movement in her eyes that were as deep as water.
