The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 71
"Please, Eighth Prince." Lu Fei bowed in salute.

Helian Yunzhao nodded and strode out the door.Lu Fei walked up to me again, clasped his fists together, and saluted, "Miss Su, Your Majesty has sent someone to prepare a carriage for you, please, Miss Su." As he said that, he also bowed.

"Commander Lu Da is polite." I hurriedly nodded my head and followed him to lead me to a brocade-colored canopy with bright yellow tassel pendants embedded in the four corners.

Bright yellow is the only color that can be used by the Xiqi royal family. It is already an honor for His Majesty to let me go back to Beijing in such a carriage.

The guards had already moved the pedals inlaid with gemstones and lifted the curtains. I pulled my skirt lightly and lowered my head before getting into the carriage.

The car is very spacious. There is a small table with red sandalwood incense, tea and several kinds of melons and fruits on it. The stool is covered with thick brocade cushions. Although it is just late autumn, a small table is prepared Small hand warmer.

"Slave Aqiu, wait outside the car, if you have something to do, please call." Someone outside the car said lightly, and I answered with a hum.After a while, the carriage started to move.

The car was driving very slowly, and the road was cleared by the Imperial Forest Army. Although there were no gongs and drums, the formation of the Imperial Forest Army was quite large. I slightly lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. Seems pretty excited.

I sighed, put down the curtain and leaned against the wall of the car, the incense in the car was very soothing, I swayed, and fell asleep.

"Miss, miss, wake up, we're here."

There was a whisper from outside the carriage, and I woke up slowly. I picked up the curtain and saw that it was already dark.The towering buildings in front of me were illuminated by palace lanterns. I narrowed my eyes slightly and asked softly, "Where is this?"

"Girl, this is the palace." Ah Qiu replied outside.

I nodded, picked the curtain and got out of the carriage.

This is the Nangong Gate, and horses and chariots must stop within a hundred paces, Helian Yunzhao is led by Lu Datong, and I am led by Aqiu to the side hall, waiting first.

This is my first time entering Xiqi Palace.Xiqi emphasizes martial arts and despises literature, which is different from Dongmu's Confucian style, and the decoration of the entire palace has a vigorous flavor.

The carved lacquer pillars of the Dongmu Palace are engraved with two dragons playing with pearls, while those carved by Xiqi are dragons roaring to the nine heavens. Most of the decorations in the palace are tigers and beasts. I also saw a big black iron bow on the side wall.

I have studied Xiqi Emperor He Lianrui before, this person has a generous personality, he was not ordinary when he was young, he can be said to have conquered half of Xiqi's country with his own hands, and he is a full-fledged emperor on horseback.Moreover, it is said that Emperor Xiqi is also a lover.

It is said that Emperor Xiqi and the late Empress Hechen met on the battlefield. Empress Hechen was originally the head of a county. He Lianrui easily broke the county guard. She held a grudge and threatened to take Helian away with her own hands. Rui head.He created the barracks repeatedly at night, but was captured alive by He Lianrui.

The two had been enemies for several years, but in the end Helianrui still married her back as his queen.The daughter of the general's family couldn't stay idle, and when He Lianrui went out to fight, she followed by her side. The two of them accompanied each other, and it was said that they were very affectionate.

However, God is also the most jealous of beautiful women. Empress Hechen once went out with her and got sick, and when she came back, she found that she was pregnant again. During the pregnancy, she refused to drink medicine when she was sick, and her health became worse and worse. Finally, When Helian Yunhong was born, the fragrance disappeared and the jade died.It is said that Xiqi Emperor He Lianrui was so sad that he sat in the mourning hall without taking off his clothes for seven days. On the eighth day, he made his newborn son He Lian Yunhong the crown prince.

The crown prince began to fall ill when he was three years old, and became even more ill when he grew up. However, Emperor Xi Qi declared that as long as He Lian Yunhong was around, the position of crown prince would be his. .

However, from my point of view, Emperor Xiqi's feelings for Empress Hechen are just like that.

Today's princes who are in the limelight are basically about the same age as the prince. If they really have a deep relationship with Empress Hechen, there would not be so many concubines.

If you say that the relationship is deep, I think my father and mother have really loved each other for a lifetime.It's a pity to be a couple for life, envious of others...

My heart was full of blood and gas, I took a few breaths of emotion, looked at a teapot, and diverted my attention.

I waited in the side hall for half an hour, and then a eunuch in official uniform issued an edict, asking me to go to the imperial study to face the saint.

"Miss of the Su family, you will be in front of me for a while. You must be careful with your words. Don't look up at Your Majesty casually. The etiquette must be strict, but understand?" Little, but he kindly asked.

I bowed my head and said softly, "Thank you for the eunuch's reminder, I will be taught by you."

The eunuch nodded, led me to the door of the imperial study, went in first to inform, and then called me in.

I stepped into the hall with my head bowed, and from the corner of my eye I saw Helian Yunzhao standing on the side of the hall, the red carpet in front was connected to the steps, and on it was a bright yellow imperial platform, and an old man in a golden dragon imperial robe sat behind the platform. It was Xiqi Emperor Helianrui.

I bowed my head and knelt down, and performed a kneeling salute in an upright manner. "Su Qingmu, the maid of honor, see Your Majesty, my emperor is blessed and healthy, long live long live long live long live."

"Excuse me." A loud voice came from the seat, I kowtowed my thanks, stood up and bowed my eyes.

A burst of laughter suddenly came from above the hall, "Ha, girl of the Su family, you don't have to be cautious, and you can raise your head."

"Yes." I had to look up, but I still lowered my eyebrows slightly.But this way, I can also see the situation ahead.

Xiqi Emperor He Lianrui had a square face, gray hair at the temples, a short beard, a high crown of dragon balls, and a rosy face without any signs of aging.

He looked up and down, stretched out his hand and stroked the short beard under his chin, "I heard from the emperor that you broke into the assassin's siege single-handedly, beheaded two assassins, and rescued the emperor. You are young and courageous." !"

I bowed my head and bowed, "Thank you for your praise, as a courtier, I should share Xiqi's worries and problems, and everything is the duty of a courtier."

"Haha..." Xiqi Emperor Long Yan rejoiced, and praised, "Good! Everything is my duty. She really deserves to be the granddaughter of the Great General Wang Suhuo. She is sincere and courageous. I like it!"

I bowed my head again, Xi Qihuang nodded, and said, "Girl of the Su family, it is a great achievement for you to sacrifice your life to save the emperor's son. Tell me, what reward do you want, as long as you can tell me, I will give you a reward." Today is all for you."

Generally speaking, these are all polite words. Naturally, I couldn't open my mouth to ask for something, so I saluted again and said respectfully, "The emperor's kindness is mighty, the world is full of His Majesty's people. As the saying goes, the world is the public, so your Majesty is the sky, and the world is the people of His Majesty. Parents of food and clothing, my daughter has only done what should be done this time, there is no reason to ask parents of food and clothing for things, my daughter thank Your Majesty for the reward."

"The world is the public, Your Majesty is the sky..."

Emperor Xi Qi said softly, his eyes darkened, and then he laughed happily, "You little girl, you are still a little nervous, you don't ask for credit, you can talk, I like it very much. Anyway, come here."

"The slave is here." The eunuch who told me at the door just now bowed forward.

Emperor Xiqi looked at me, and said slowly, "I am drafting an order. Su Qingmu, the grandson of Su Huo, is virtuous, intelligent, wise and courageous. He will be named the princess of Ning'an by special Qin, and he will be given a mansion, a salary, and a reward of ten thousand gold."

"Follow the order." The eunuch took the order.

Although it is a great achievement to save the prince, but to confer the title of the princess with this achievement is really a great grace of His Majesty.I hurriedly bowed my head and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long live, long live my emperor.".

Emperor Xi Qi nodded, "You have been missing for a few days, and your family must be in a hurry. I have sent a letter to the General's Mansion, so you can rest assured."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." I quickly kowtowed.

At this time, someone happened to announce my audience, and the eunuch led me out of the imperial study room. I was afraid that His Majesty would have some orders, so I waited in the side hall for a while, and about half an hour later, the eunuch sent me a message. Letter, saying that His Majesty has returned to the palace, I can leave the palace.

Ah Qiu held up the palace lantern and led me all the way to the gate of the palace.From a distance, I saw the carriage of the General's Mansion, and the person waiting for me under the carriage was none other than Wu Wanhua, the mistress.

"Qingmu..." Seeing me, she called out from a distance, walked over quickly, hugged me, blinked a few times, and even shed tears.

"Qingmu, you really scared my aunt to death. The news came that day that you were missing in Qiu Lie, but you found the dead horse sitting under the waterfall. My aunt was really frightened and rushed back to the general's mansion overnight. I look forward to news from you every day. It really pays off, and you have come back safely. It's really great."

As she spoke, she wiped away tears.

She can do enough in this role, if she hadn't seen clearly the faces of her mother and daughter, she would have been a little moved.

"Thank you, Auntie, for thinking about me." I smiled slightly, looking very well-behaved.

Wu Wanhua said obediently, "You child, what stupid things did you say? Auntie doesn't miss you, who cares about you. It's too deep, let's go back first."

I answered, and a woman moved a footstool. She got into the car first, and then went and sat on it.

The imperial palace was some distance away from the General's Mansion, during this period Wu Wanhua would occasionally greet her with greetings, looking very intimate.At the beginning, I just answered the questions, but later I really felt that the politeness was too hypocritical, and I didn't want to talk to her, so I started nodding and pretending to be asleep.

Since I was like this, she couldn't say anything more, and when I arrived at the General's Mansion, she sent someone to send me back to the small round courtyard, sleepy and drooling.

Familiar road, different mood.

As soon as I entered the small courtyard, Lu Zhu was the first to rush towards me. She hugged my arm and cried, "Miss, you are back. Lu Zhu was scared to death, woo woo woo..."

"Sister, Chu Qi misses you." Chu Qi also came over, tears streaming down her face.

My heart warmed up, and I finally felt a little more comfortable in my heart.

When it was getting close, everyone didn't talk too much. Qingteng prepared some pastries, and the mother-in-law brought cotton brocade underwear. I washed up briefly, and Luzhu helped me loosen my long hair. She cried immediately, "Miss, how did this happen."

"It's okay, it will be fine in a few days." I smiled slightly, took out the ointment and asked her to apply it on the wound.

Although Miansheng didn't say a few words today, it was still a lot of energy, and with the exhaustion of the horses and horses, he was already exhausted.

He fell on the couch and soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the Chief Eunuch next to His Majesty came to proclaim the decree. Once the decree was read, I kowtowed and accepted the decree. I officially changed from the bullied Su Qingmu in the General's Mansion to the Ning'an Princess of Xiqi.
