After the child left, Feng Yu's palace became quiet again.
Night falls.
The whole palace was illuminated by red candles, and Yu Lan knew that her father was coming as the palace attendants greeted her with greetings.
Zhao Chengji walked to Yu Lan and stopped, "Zi Tong has been waiting for a long time..."
Obviously I have called her dear, but at this moment, I can't help but blush when I hear such a strange name. Zitong, this is the emperor's name for the queen, which means madam, beloved wife, and daughter-in-law.
"came back?"
"Um?"
"How much did you drink?"
"I didn't drink much, so I had two drinks with Mr. Zhao and the others."
"Yeah." Yu Lan responded, raised his hand and pointed at the hijab, indicating: "Hurry up and hijab first, your neck is sore."
The phoenix crown worn during this canonization ceremony was really luxurious and heavy. Fortunately, it didn't need to be so grand, otherwise Yu Lan felt that sooner or later she would be hunched over.
Taking a step forward, Zhao Chengji reached out and lifted the red hijab covering her head.
Under the candlelight, Yu Lan was wearing a phoenix crown and a red phoenix robe, with light makeup on her face. This outfit made her skin look better than snow, white and rosy. She looked like she was in full bloom now.
The roses are delicate and charming.
He has seen many good-looking women, but Yu Lan caught his eye the most and he liked her deeply. She is the only one who he likes no matter how he looks at her. Therefore, the one he prefers will always be his sweetheart.
If you don’t prefer, you definitely don’t love.
Seeing that he was looking at her, Yu Lan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Does it look good?"
Zhao Chengji nodded, "It's beautiful."
Yu Lan chuckled, "Really?"
"Well, you have no joke."
Women all love to be beautiful, and Yu Lan is no exception.
"I'm good-looking too."
He looks good all the time.
He reached out and touched Yu Lan's cheek gently.
"From today on, you are my queen." He has always wanted to give him the best, but because of this status, until now, today, he finally proved it for her, and she was engraved on the royal palace as the original wife.
On the Jade Butterfly.
"For two lifetimes, you are my only queen."
The corners of Yu Lan's lips raised, and dimples appeared on her cheeks. She pulled his clothes and whispered, "It's an honor to be your queen."
"No, I am lucky to be able to marry you."
Zhao Chengji had paid homage to her ten years ago, but today was his true wedding as an emperor.
Zhao Yuanzhi could be willful and marry her. But Zhao Chengji could not, so he made her wait for so long. Fortunately, now she is finally his queen.
"Come..." Zhao Chengji took her hand and said, "It's time to drink the Heju wine."
"Okay." Yu Lan stood up and followed him to the table.
He stretched out his hand and poured wine for Yu Lan and himself. He handed a glass to her and took another glass for himself.
The two looked at each other, gently leaned their glasses together, then crossed their hands and drank the glass of wine.
"Ahem, I feel so choked."
"I don't know how to drink, that's how I feel."
"I'm hungry, no, let's have something to eat."
"Baozhu and the others came here before and brought me food, but I'm not hungry now. Are you hungry? If you want to eat something, I'll accompany you."
"I'm not hungry."
He casually put the empty wine glass on the table, put his arms around Tuo Lan's waist, and lifted him up.
Now, he wants to do something else more.
Yu Lan was stunned, put her hands around his neck, leaned close to him and whispered: "Then, please have mercy on me, Your Majesty."
It's okay if you don't say it.
After saying this, he didn't even want to feel pity.
Seeing that the people serving in the palace were still there, Zhao Chengji said calmly: "Everyone, please step aside!"
"I wish the emperor and the empress a happy marriage for a hundred years, the birth of a precious son soon, and the retirement of all servants."
After the palace attendants retired, only Yu Lan and two others were left in the palace.
Zhao Chengji carried Yu Lan to the bedside and put him on the bed. On the festive bed, there were red dates and peanuts, which symbolized the early birth of a son and harmony.
He reached out and pulled off the phoenix hairpin and crown for her. Looking at the long hair falling, Zhao Chengji lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"Let me love you..."
The bed curtain falls, blocking out the warmth...
In the thirteenth year of Qingyuan, the 27-year-old concubine was appointed queen. In the same year, her eldest son Zhao Lingxiao was appointed as the prince and entered the East Palace to handle the affairs of the court.
In the fifteenth year of Qingyuan's reign, Emperor Qingyuan coughed every step of the way, announced to the outside world that he was ill, and asked the prince to supervise the country. Then he began to live a life of retirement in an open and aboveboard manner.
At this time, in the imperial study room, the twelve-year-old prince was reviewing the memorial again, with an expression that was hard to describe.
He was still a child and what he had experienced.
No, he is no longer a child.
In the words of his father, you are already a mature child. You have grown up and can fly alone. You cannot live under my wings all the time, otherwise you will become useless.
"Your Highness, the little Eunuch Li who is with you is here."
Zhao Lingxiao was stunned and raised his hand to signal, "Let him come in."
The one who came was Li Yunyun, who was serving beside Yu Lan. He came here in the name of the Queen to deliver mung bean soup to His Highness the Crown Prince.
"This servant pays his respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Lingxiao raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said calmly: "No courtesy."
Li Yunyun: "Your Highness, the weather is hot now, so the Queen made mung bean soup. I asked my servant to bring you some to relieve the heat."
When he heard that his mother had made it, Zhao Lingxiao raised his hand and said, "Bring it over yet."
"Yes..." Li Yunyun responded, carrying the mung bean soup, walked to the prince, picked up the bowl on the tray and put it in front of him. "Your Highness, try it quickly. The queen knows that the prince does not like sweets.
Just a little bit of sugar is added, it’s very light.”
He picked up the bowl, picked up the spoon and took a sip.
It is refreshing and delicious, icy and cold, with only a little bit of sweetness. This is his favorite taste. The mung bean soup is ready and has been chilled with well water. It is not too cold and tastes icy and cool. It is very delicious.
It relieves the heat and is very comfortable.
"It tastes good. The food my mother makes is delicious."
"No, our queen's cooking skills are unparalleled. I heard that our emperor liked to eat the dishes cooked by our queen, and that's how we got this fate."
Zhao Lingxiao nodded after hearing this. He believed this. The emperor's aunt had said it before. Thinking of his virtuous mother, the prince had some thoughts.
From now on, his princess will be as virtuous as his mother.
Drink a sip.
Take another sip.
Soon, he finished the bowl of mung bean soup.
"I would like to say hello to my mother and queen on my behalf, and tell her that I will go and have dinner with my mother later."
"It's His Majesty the Crown Prince. That servant will leave first."
"Go for it!"
Zhao Lingxiao waved his hand.
A child with a mother is like a treasure. This is true.
After eating the mung bean soup made by his mother, Zhao Lingxiao was in a good mood.
