Hu Xiaotian clung to the well wall with his hands. His arms were a little sore and numb at the moment. He was about to go back, but when he heard Queen Jane arrived, he immediately became energetic again. Listen to what this old woman said? Is it true? Are you here to play matchmaker for Long Xiyue?
Four palace maids held palace lanterns to clear the way, and four eunuchs followed behind to protect them. Queen Jian walked slowly among them. Although she had been wandering around with Long Yelin for many years, she also encountered a lot of cold looks, but after all, she He survived with Long Yelin, and now that Long Yelin has become the emperor, he has not forgotten this miserable wife who has shared the joys and sorrows, and canonized her as the queen.
Queen Jian obviously has no experience in managing the harem, nor does she have the dignity to make the harem admire her. Since she was named queen, she has spent more time sorting out the chaotic harem affairs. After becoming the queen, she saw the emperor's Opportunities became less and less, and the emperor never even stayed in Xinning Palace for a night, but he did not favor other concubines.
Long Xiyue led the palace maids and eunuchs to greet her and said respectfully: "Xiyue meets the Queen."
Queen Jian stepped forward quickly, grabbed her arm and said, "Sister, are there any outsiders here? Why are you so formal?"
Long Xiyue said softly: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, and the rules in the palace must not be broken."
Queen Jian turned around, looked around and said, "You all, stand down!"
A group of palace maids and eunuchs all retreated, leaving only the two of them in the garden of the Purple Orchid Palace, where the golden chrysanthemums were blooming in full bloom under the moonlight.
Empress Jian still held Long Xiyue's hand and looked at her with a smile. Long Xiyue lowered her head in embarrassment. Empress Jian sighed softly: "When the fish falls and the goose falls, closing the moon and shying away the flowers is not enough to describe my sister." of beauty!”
Long Xiyue said: "The queen has given me such a compliment. Xiyue and Puliu are not worthy of the queen's praise."
Queen Jian said: "If Qiqi could be as gentle and sensible as you, I would be relieved a lot."
Long Xiyue said: "Queen, please sit down in the palace."
"No, I have been in the palace all day. I can't see the sun during the day, and I can't see the stars and the moon at night. The moonlight is so beautiful tonight. Here, admiring the moonlight and smelling the fragrance of flowers, I feel that my whole body is relaxed. A lot. Let us, sister-in-law, have a few intimate words in the yard."
Long Xiyue hummed, and the two never expected that in the ancient well not far from them, there was someone lying on the wall of the well like a gecko, listening to their conversation.
Queen Jian said: "Xiyue, I remember that you were born at 3:30 on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, right?"
Long Xiyue said respectfully: "Thanks to the Queen's love, I remember Xiyue's birthday so clearly." She realized in her heart that the Queen's remembering her birthday so clearly was not out of love for herself, but out of love for herself. There are other pictures.
Queen Jian said: "Xiyue. The Moon of Dawn! That's why your name comes from this." She looked at Long Xiyue with a smile and said: "If my father had the ability to predict the future, he should have named you Shameful Moon. , the moon is shy of the flowers, the most beautiful thing in the world."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this: "Shameful Moon, this old lady is really good at organizing words. It's obviously the closed moon, but neither the shy moon nor the closed moon sounds as good as Xiyue, and it's more poetic. It seems that the old emperor Long Xuanen is not without merit, he is really good at naming his daughter.
Long Xiyue said: "The Queen has given you a reward."
Queen Jian said: "It's not that I am praising you. It's that your reputation has spread far and wide. Everyone in the world knows about my sister's beauty. It is no exaggeration to say that the people who have come to propose marriage recently have already
The threshold of our palace has been breached."
When Long Xiyue heard that she finally brought the topic to her marriage, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Although she had long realized that her destiny was beyond her control, she hoped that the moment to change her destiny would come as late as possible. She
He said softly: "Xiyue grew up in Dakang, has never left the capital, and has never considered her marriage."
Empress Jian smiled and said: "It's time for men to get married and women to get married. How can a girl not get married? In fact, when my father was in power, he wanted to betroth you to the prince of Sharjah. I have this matter.
I have always disapproved of it, how could such a gentle and lovely girl like me marry into that barbarian land?"
Long Xiyue bit her lips and said nothing. She expected that Queen Jian had something to say.
Queen Jian said: "I really love you as my sister. Even if I want to marry, I must carefully choose a good family with a good match."
Long Xiyue said: "Does the Queen not want Xiyue to live in the palace?"
Queen Jian said: "Silly girl, where do you start talking about this? Even if you live in the palace for the rest of your life, I, my sister-in-law, will not say no. It's just that women are young and easy to grow old, and I don't want to see it either."
He lives alone in the palace like a fairy with a girl all his life."
"Xiyue has never felt lonely." Long Xiyue's resistance also seemed weak.
Queen Jian said: "If it weren't for His Majesty's firm objection, you would have married into Sharjah now. Your sister is the one who loves you the most in His Majesty's heart. I know best that he is more nervous than anyone else about your marriage.
In the past, I often told me that I must find a well-matched family for you, so that you can live a happy and prosperous life for the rest of your life."
Long Xiyue said: "As long as people live in this world and be happy, I have never thought of such scenery."
Queen Jian said: "A person cannot live only for himself in the world. The Yong Kingdom sent envoys to propose marriage to the seventh prince Xue Chuanming. Xue Chuanming is twenty-five years old this year. He is both wise and brave. He is the best in the three armies. He is nineteen years old.
You have been granted the title of Admiral of the Great Yongshui Army due to your outstanding military exploits, but you have not married yet. He admires your beauty and moral character, so he specially sent envoys to propose marriage. You are seventeen years old, and you are a good match for him.
Dayong is now a powerful country, and Dakang and I use Yongjiang as the boundary to divide the north and south. If you become the prince and concubine of Dayong, your status will not be lowered at all than in Dakang, and there are people like you between the two countries.
If you have an in-law relationship, you can form a good ally and avoid a war." Queen Jian's last sentence is the key point. The real reason for wanting to promote the marriage between Long Xiyue and Xue Chuanming is to achieve this through this method of marriage.
The effect of the temporary friendly coexistence between the two countries.
Not long after Long Yelin ascended the throne, there was an incident in Dakang that Li Tianheng supported his troops and became independent. Not to mention Xichuan, Sharjah and Li Tianheng quickly reached an alliance in the form of a marriage, which allowed the Li family to have no worries for the time being.
Long Yelin had originally planned to immediately send troops to conquer the Li family and regain Xichuan as soon as possible, but after Zhou Ruiyuan's strong persuasion, he temporarily gave up this idea. For him, securing the throne was the top priority. Negotiating peace with Dayong and stabilizing the north
Only by guarding the rear can we free up our hands to clear up the domestic chaos in Dakang. Dayong happened to come over to propose marriage, which was like extending an olive branch to Dakang. Long Yelin naturally had no reason to refuse.
Behind this marriage was politics. The person who really decided this marriage was Emperor Long Yelin of Dakang. Empress Jian was just the executor of the order.
Long Xiyue raised her bright eyes and looked at the bright moon in the sky. Today was not a full moon night. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the scene of the night she fell in the Hollow Valley. A familiar smiling face seemed to appear in the moon. That was Hu Xiaotian.
Sunny face.
Queen Jian said softly: "Xiyue, what do you think?" In fact, there is no need to ask for Long Xiyue's opinion. Long Xiyue cannot change what the emperor has decided, even as the emperor's sister.
Long Xiyue's beautiful and beautiful face was calm and calm. It was not clear from her expression whether she was happy or worried. She nodded lightly and said: "Xiyue listens to the Queen..." After saying these words
At that time, her heart was filled with infinite sadness, and her heart was really broken. She was just a rootless duckweed allowed to be beaten by the wind and rain. She would go wherever they pushed her.
Queen Jian smiled and said: "I know that my sister is the most reasonable and considerate."
Hu Xiaotian was lying in the well, his arms were numb from exhaustion, but because he wanted to hear clearly what they were talking about, he could only endure it. When he heard this, he cursed in his heart, Queen Jian, this bitch is really nothing, she just wants dragons.
Xiyue pushed into the fire pit, what a good match, what a talented man and a beautiful woman, bullshit! In the final analysis, she didn't want to sacrifice Long Xiyue to consolidate her man's rule.
Empress Jian said: "I will go back now. The emperor is still waiting for my reply. Sister, I would like to congratulate you first. If I become the queen of Dayong in the future, don't forget my sister's hard work as a matchmaker."
Long Xiyue remained silent, this was the only resistance she could show.
Queen Jian had no intention of staying for a long time. After talking about the business and getting Long Xiyue's reply, she immediately left the Zilan Palace. Long Xiyue stood alone in the courtyard, and the maids and eunuchs of the Zilan Palace also noticed that since the Queen
After coming here, her mood became bad, and no one dared to stay in the garden and disturb her tranquility.
Long Xiyue stood among the chrysanthemums for a long time, and then slowly walked towards the ancient well where Hu Xiaotian was hiding. Although her steps were gentle, she still couldn't hide it from Hu Xiaotian's ears in the quiet night. Hu Xiaotian originally planned to sneak back to the tunnel quietly, but when he heard
He didn't dare to move when he heard Long Xiyue's footsteps, and his whole body leaned against the well wall.
Long Xiyue looked at the mouth of the well, and two lines of crystal tears fell down her pretty face. Hu Xiaotian raised his face in the darkness, and he couldn't help but worry. This girl must not be thinking too hard. If she really throws herself into the well, what will happen to her?
So what should he do? He suddenly felt a bit of coolness on his face, but it was Long Xiyue's tears dripping on his face. Hu Xiaotian's heart trembled. Xiyue's temperament was softer after all.
Why don't you dare to rise up and fight against fate? If it falls on that unruly princess Qi Qi at this time, I'm afraid she will be so courageous that she even has the courage to stab Queen Jian.
Here is the third update, asking for a guaranteed monthly pass, even just one! (To be continued...)
