Queen Sun

Chapter 29 Seed
In the evening, when Li Shimin walked out of the Lizheng Hall, he immediately saw Yang Qian's thin figure still kneeling in front of the hall.He walked past her with a normal expression, almost without a pause, but just dropped a sentence when passing by: "Follow me to the Manna Palace."

Yang Qian raised her head with an expression of disbelief, then stood up slowly with the support of the maid, and staggered after the back of the emperor in front, as if she still had a little hope in her heart.

Ganlu Temple.

When Li Shimin looked at the woman kneeling in front of him, he felt mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that he had never been in love with her. Just like countless women in his harem, he also knew what they wanted, but today, everything has come true. It was a foregone conclusion, the heart that had been silent for many years seemed to revive overnight, and he could no longer make any promises to others, including Yang Qian of course.

"I know what you want to say, but I have ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle this matter. Now even if you find the queen, it is useless." Li Shimin said calmly.

There was a flash of confusion in Yang Qian's eyes, and then a sneer appeared on her lips. She raised her head resolutely: "It's useless? Your Majesty, isn't this the Queen's revenge on me?"

Li Shimin said with compassion: "Are you worthy of being treated like that by the queen? Do you know who is the one who adopted Li Jiancheng?"

Yang Qian lowered her head: "I don't know."

"It's Li Fu, the third son of Concubine Yang Xian. So, do you still think that the adoptive incident is the queen's deliberate revenge?" Li Shimin's expression showed a trace of impatience, but more of it was still resolute.

"The son of a virtuous concubine?" Yang Qian murmured and repeated, "Your Majesty is willing?"

Li Shimin stood up, walked in front of Yang Qian, and raised her pale face: "Qian'er, I am the emperor, and there is nothing I can't bear to do for the Tang Dynasty."

A forced smile appeared on Yang Qian's face: "Does it also include the queen?"

Li Shimin laughed suddenly, and with a suffocating sense of oppression in his words, he said slowly: "Don't you understand? This world was originally shared by me and the queen..."

"The concubine understands." Yang Qian interrupted the emperor's words with a sad face, and slowly retreated from her smile, "Please excuse me."

Li Shimin watched her run out of the inner room almost out of composure, but he didn't stop her, he just raised his voice slightly and said to the door: "Zheng Ji, go to Concubine Xian and tell her, I will go there in a while."

At this time, the Qing En Palace was in a bleak state. Although the owner here was a virtuous concubine who was second only to the queen and noble concubine in the harem, the taboo of the former princess was always deeply shrouded in Yang Rui.

She knows that she does not have the nobility of a queen, nor does she have the skill and intelligence of Concubine Wei or Concubine Yan. What she has is a fragile appearance and the dodder-like delicacy that the emperor loves.From the harem of the Sui Dynasty to the harem of the Tang Dynasty today, from an unfavorable princess to a first-class concubine today, her life actually has only two parts, before and after meeting Li Shimin.But now, her husband told her to adopt her son under the name of a dead and deposed prince. At this moment, Yang Rui had never understood that everything she had now came from the most noble prince in the world. A man, but he can take it back at any time, including his son.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help showing a mocking smile, what a similar situation, during the reign of Wude, the Supreme Emperor adopted Li Tai under the name of Li Xuanba who died young, although His Majesty was reluctant but helpless, so that when As soon as he took the throne, he immediately wiped out the matter.The same is the prince, but the queen's son is the proud son of heaven, and his...

Why?My Ke'er, Min'er, and Fu'er have to live under others for the rest of their lives. They obviously have the most noble blood in the world, so why can't I even keep my son?
That usually soft and beautiful face was distorted in an instant, and her nails sank deep into the palm of her hand, but Yang Rui didn't know it until the exclamation of the maid beside her woke her up, and she stared blankly at the palm of her hand. The oozing blood beads suddenly smiled and said: "What's the matter?"

The palace maid looked at her mother's smile, somehow, a chill came out from the bottom of her heart, she could only lower her head and said: "Yes, Director Zheng just came to deliver the decree, Your Majesty will be here soon."

Yang Rui nodded with a half-smile, but didn't speak.

"Your Majesty, are you unhappy? Your Majesty hasn't been here for a long time."

"Happy?" Yang Rui narrowed her eyes and whispered, "What's there to be happy about?" I'm not smart, but I'm not stupid either, not to mention growing up in the court since childhood, and I'm used to the emperor's ruthlessness and the sadness of falling out of favor. , what should be done at this moment, and what should not be done is naturally very clear.

So when Li Shimin stepped into the Qing'en Hall, what he saw was a plain face with a strong smile, which made me even more pitiful than usual.

Li Shimin sighed softly, and stretched out his hand to help her up: "Is Rui'er still complaining about me?"

Yang Rui said with tears in her voice: "The concubine dare not, but the concubine really can't bear to part with Fu'er, he is only a few months old."

"Don't worry." Li Shimin held Yang Rui's hand and said, "I have already arranged the personnel affairs over there. The nurse, maid, and palace servants are all the same as the prince, not to mention you have Ke'er and Min'er by your side. .”

There was a trace of sternness on Yang Rui's drooping face, but when she raised her head, her face was already submissive: "Yes, I understand His Majesty's intentions."

Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction: "The few bolts of silk that Jiangnan paid tribute to last time have not been unpacked yet. I will send someone to bring them to you later."

Yang Rui seemed to reply submissively: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but let's send it to the queen first."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "She never liked those things, so let's give them to Rui'er."

"Yes." Yang Rui turned her face slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late..."

Li Shimin glanced at the beautiful woman who looked better than Xizi in front of him for a while, and finally said gently: "Fu'er can't stay by your side for a few days, these days, you should stay with him well." After finishing speaking, he left Qing Grace Hall.

Yang Rui knelt and sent the emperor away, her long palace sleeves covered her tightly clenched hands.

"Ru'er, go and call Mrs. Yang." Her usually weak voice suddenly appeared extremely sharp.

The maid beside her trembled slightly, and ran out quickly, leaving only the figure of Concubine Xian slumped on the ground.

For a while, Yang Qian looked at the woman sitting in front of her, and suddenly smiled silently. It was a familiar scene, but it was changed from Concubine Yan Xian to Concubine Yang Xian.

Yang Rui looked carefully at Mrs. Yang for a while, and was about to speak, when suddenly, she heard the maid hurriedly said outside the door: "My Lady, the Queen Mother's imperial edict has arrived, and Xuan Yang will go to the outer hall to receive it."

As soon as the eyes of the two intersected, they both seemed to understand something.Yang Qian smiled lightly and stood up: "Is the concubine Xian willing to go with the concubine?"

Yang Rui still had a smile on her face: "Since it's the imperial edict given to you by the empress, it's inconvenient for me to go. After receiving the edict, you can come and drink this cup of tea with me."

Qing En Hall, the outer hall.

Yang Qian knelt on the ground, raised her head in amazement, and recalled in her ear the decree read by the queen's close female officer just now: "...make Yang a concubine of the first rank, and bestow it on Yongning Hall."

Dan Yun handed Yizhi to Yang Qian with both hands, and said respectfully: "Ms. Concubine Shu, the canonization ceremony will have to wait until next month, but please move to Yongning Palace first."

Yang Qian was puzzled and said, "Do you want it right away? But there are always things to pack."

Dan Yun smiled slightly: "Please rest assured, my maidservant, I have sent someone to clean up with Ying Hong, and the Yongning Palace has also been arranged properly. The fourteenth prince should be waiting for my lady there now."

A flash of horror flashed in Yang Qian's heart, then she suddenly nodded and said, "In that case, please ask the girl to lead the way."

In Haishi, the side hall of Lizheng Hall.

"How is it? Have you caught up?"

"Just now, there is news from Danyun that Mrs. Yang has been brought to Yongning Palace."

"It's still in time. If the two of them get together, maybe something will come out. You can't be careless."

"If there is a wife in the water, let alone now that I am pregnant, I am really impatient."

"It's better to be stared at. I watched Yang Rui grow up. She looks docile, but no one can tell what's going on inside. Like that Yang family, if she only has a good skin, how can she get to where she is today? step?"

"Yes, I hope they will continue to be wise."

Coming back from Mrs. Xiao, Ruoshui asked Guangyue casually: "Should His Majesty call the concubine Xian to sleep tonight?"

Guangyue shook her head: "Your Majesty has already come to Miss's place half an hour ago, and knowing that Miss is at Madam Xiao's place, we are not allowed to report."

Ruoshui pursed the corner of his mouth slightly, but the pace under his feet quickened slightly. Who said it wasn't a new beginning?
