King Rui remained silent. He originally thought that the seat of queen must belong to Wen Heng.
He didn't expect Wen Heng to do so many things that hurt Lan Ling. The more you want to get it, the more you will lose it. Why doesn't she understand? King Rui also couldn't understand Wen Heng, she was originally a very smart woman.
Ling Chen just listened quietly, without announcing the final decision.
He just wanted to hear how many people objected.
When Wen Heng heard the news, he thought he heard it wrong. Although she already felt that Ling Chen had changed.
Did he really fail me
He has not been to Yong'an Palace for a long time.
The emperor withdrew from court today, and Yang Shu whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the servants are here to report that Concubine Yi Gui of Yong'an Palace hasn't eaten for two days..."
The emperor paused, "Is she sick? If she is sick, please ask the imperial doctor."
"The waiter didn't say he was sick, he just said that the empress refused to eat..."
Ling Chen turned around and walked towards Yong'an Palace.
Wen Heng lay there with his eyes closed, a burst of cold breath entered his nostrils, Wen Heng knew he was coming.
He still came. He still cares about me.
Wen Heng opened his eyes, Ling Chen stood in front of her with his hands behind his back.
Wen Heng suddenly became uneasy, she originally wanted to ask him a lot, she wanted to question him, she wanted to scold him for betraying her heart, but now she couldn't speak at all. The gap between them is getting deeper and deeper, as if it has become insurmountable.
"Achen, you're here." She had lost all strength.
Ling Chen turned around and looked at her lightly. His eyes no longer had the light from before, he was so indifferent, as if they were strangers.
"Achen, is it true that you want Lan Ling to be the queen?"
"Yes." Ling Chen replied.
Wen Heng finally shed tears, "Okay, I don't believe what others say, I just want to hear you say it yourself. I understand. I have committed a heinous crime, and I admit it. In this palace, only Lan Ling is qualified to be the queen Yes. Congratulate her for me."
Wen Heng lay down, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and turned his face inward.
"Wen Heng, you were the one who betrayed me first. What you have done, you can no longer be a queen. I also don't want a woman with a vicious heart to be a queen in the harem."
Wen Heng sneered: "Wen Heng has always been a vicious person, and he used to be. Has the emperor forgotten that when you were nine years old, the little maid who beat you was pushed into the pond by me and drowned? When you were ten years old, The servant stole your expenses, I caught the boa constrictor and put it in his room, stalking him to death
"You asked me to stay by the late emperor's side. The late emperor treated me very well, but I will report all his actions to you..."
Ling Chen walked over slowly and looked down at her, "So, you did so many things that hurt Lan Ling, I have always protected you! Keep you! I can only watch Lan Ling have nightmares at night! Even you betrayed me I, I have forgiven you too! If it were someone else, I would have cut her to pieces long ago, don't you understand?"
Wen Heng fell on the bed, tears streaming down his face, "I hurt her because of you! I love you! But you changed your heart, you only have her in your heart!"
"Wen Heng, do you really love me? I once said that I promise you will not change. Lan Ling is the person I like, and I let you accept her. But you want her life! You hurt She, it's the same as hurting me! You don't love me!"
Wen Heng broke down in tears.
"Wen Heng, the child in your stomach is yours. If you want to go on a hunger strike, I can't control you. If you don't want it, you can do it! I hate threats from others! I won't come to Yong'an Palace again because of this kind of thing! You can do it yourself!"
He left without the slightest hesitation.
Wen Heng put away his tears and stared out of the window, without any further waves.
Twenty days before the new year, the emperor issued an imperial decree to confer Lan Ling as queen.
On the day the emperor promulgated the imperial decree, Concubine Yi Wen Heng was also released from Yong'an Palace. She still lives in Yong'an Palace, but she no longer has to be detained. The previous configuration is also restored. She is five months pregnant.
Guan Yue was also released, and Guan Yue was demoted to Concubine De, still living in Zhong'an Palace.
Three days later, the queen canonization ceremony was held.
Ling Chen knew that Lan Ling didn't like these complicated procedures, so he ordered that since Lan Ling was pregnant, everything should be kept simple.
However, no matter how simple it is, it is also the queen's canonization gift.
Early in the morning, Jixiang and Lixia dressed Lan Ling in a brocade suit embroidered with gold silk and auspicious phoenix, with a small round flower with Luan pattern on the base and a gold medal with purple ribbon. The waist is tied with a jade belt, covered with snow-colored beads.
The hair is combed into a vertebra-shaped bun, with a peach-shaped golden crown full of pearls and jade, and a golden phoenix on it. There are two phoenix walkers on each side of the bun, red coral hairpins, emerald gold hairpins, and the auspiciousness will continue. Putting ornaments on his head, Lan Ling stopped him.
"It's too heavy! Only wear what you need to wear." Lan Ling ordered.
Jixiang had no choice but to save the accessories at the back.
At an auspicious time, Lan Ling knelt in the solemn and solemn Taimiao Temple to offer sacrifices, listened to the congratulatory speech of the four or six parallel prose read by the minister of the palace, and accepted the golden book and gold treasure. The gold books and gold treasures used by the queen were drawn up by the Ministry of Rites half a month ago.
After the ceremony, Lan Ling was already dizzy and tinnitus.
Ling Chen supported her and stared at her, "You are finally my queen."
Lan Ling tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Ling Chen laughed: "You are still so out of shape! Do you want to be dignified and understand?"
Lan Ling immediately stood up straight: "The concubine understands, dignified, dignified!"
An angry Ling Chen really wanted to kick her.
That day, in Wangyou Palace, Liu Hui, Guan Yue, and Lin Jing all brought gifts to congratulate Lan Ling. Regardless of whether it is true or false, everyone is still very affectionate on face.
Liu Hui and Lan Ling originally had a misunderstanding because of Liu Hui's child's miscarriage. Although the misunderstanding was resolved later, they still didn't have much contact. Lan Ling seldom went to other palaces, and the two just greeted each other lightly when they met.
Liu Hui also knew that her father hoped that she could be a queen. But she knew very well that it was impossible for the emperor to let her be the queen.
She married the emperor when he was still a prince, so it can be said that she was the first woman that the emperor married. But the emperor has always been lukewarm to her.
Every time he came to her palace, it was like a routine, and he didn't have any extra words, he was a real stranger.
She understood what the emperor was thinking. The queen's position is either Wen Heng or Lan Ling. She never thought about it, so she lived at ease. Her father once sent someone to tell her that he wanted to fight for the Queen's seat for her, but she did not agree. She knows the outcome.
The more desires, the more disappointments, it is easy to become obsessed, which only increases troubles.
Wen Heng also came to Wangyou Palace on the second day.
Ling Shuang, Yu Rong, and Pearl are all in Wangyou Palace.
Lan Ling was a little surprised to see her coming.
Wen Heng was pale, thin, and had a big belly. With her hands on her waist, she stood in the yard, saluting Lan Ling.
Lan Ling quickly asked Zhishu and Mo Hua to support her.
Wen Heng said: "Wen Heng knows that the empress does not want to see me, but since we all live in the palace, the etiquette in the palace still has to be followed. Wen Heng congratulates the empress. It's just that Wen Heng didn't bring any gifts, and he knew that the empress didn't either. Will see it."
Lan Ling didn't believe that Wen Heng really came to congratulate her. Wen Heng has always been proud and arrogant, and the emperor is protecting him everywhere. How could she come to congratulate her
Although Lan Ling has no intention of harming others, he still has a heart of defense.
"Concubine Yi, you don't have to be polite. Concubine Yi is getting heavy. You don't have to follow the etiquette, let alone be so polite. Go back to the palace and raise your baby." Lan Ling really didn't want to see her, let alone her in his palace.
"We are all the emperor's women, so we will inevitably see each other often. I also ask the empress to have a lot, and don't worry about the past," Wen Heng said grandly.
Lan Ling looked at her, "I have forgotten the past."
Wen Heng looked at her: "Empress, Wen Heng has something to say to Empress."
Lan Ling looked at her suspiciously and walked over slowly.
Wen Heng's voice was very low, and Lan Ling listened to her slowly speaking: "Do you know why he made you queen? Because he needs Huo Jingyun. Do you know why Huo Jingyun never married? Because Huo Jingyun The person I like is you!"
Lan Ling gasped, and took two steps back: "You're talking nonsense!"
Wen Heng saluted humbly and said goodbye, and left with the girl.
Standing behind Lan Ling, Li Xia whispered, "What did she just say? Has she accepted this reality?"
Lan Ling shook his head, how could Wen Heng accept it so easily
She knew that Wen Heng's words could not be trusted, and the strange expression on Wen Heng's face made her shudder.
Wen Heng has malicious intentions, and her words are even more unbelievable!
Ever since the emperor promulgated the imperial decree to make her a queen, Lan Ling understood that the future life must show 120% energy. For the sake of her children, she must show courage to fight with them, and these battles will never end .
Only after she had a child did she realize that many things cannot be avoided if she wants to.
Thinking of this, she sighed again. She hated this kind of life the most.
Ling Shuang said: "Perhaps Concubine Yi has really figured it out?"
Yu Rong shook her head. "How is it possible. But the matter of face is still to be done. In short, the empress must be more careful."
Lan Ling nodded. How could Lan Ling not know about Wen Heng's cruelty. She was terrified when Wen Heng entered her Wangyou Palace, afraid that something would happen to her here.
At noon, Lan Ling left them to have lunch together. It is rare for Wangyou Palace to be so lively.
After lunch, Lan Ling and Yu Rong played the piano together, and Ling Shuang and Pearl played the music. They were having fun, and the emperor walked in with someone.
Ling Chen withdrew from court, heard from Bai Shaoting that Yu Rong was in Wangyou Palace, and went directly to Wangyou Palace, followed by King Rui, Huo Jingyun, and Bai Shaoting.
From afar, everyone heard the sound of water-like zither in Wangyou Palace. Ling Chen was happy in his heart. Lan Ling doesn't play the piano very often, and she prefers to be a female celebrity and eat in her spare time.
"Brother Bai, are you leaving?" Yu Rong immediately stood up when she saw Bai Shaoting.
"Let's go." Bai Shaoting reached out to pick up Yu Rong.
"Knowing that your husband and wife are loving, you don't have to be so anxious, as if you were abused in Wangyou Palace," Lan Ling teased Yu Rong.
Yu Rong didn't spare her: "Isn't this making room for the queen and the emperor!"
Everyone laughed.
Lan Ling is very envious of the lives of Yu Rong and Bai Shaoting. That was the life she wanted, but unfortunately, this life was no longer possible.
Yu Rong followed Bai Shaoting away, Pearl stood up, "Empress, Pearl is also leaving."
Lan Ling thought that King Rui came to pick her up, "Well, King Rui is here to pick you up, so you should hurry back."
Pearl looked up at King Rui and asked, "Will the prince go back now?"
King Rui shook his head: "Go back first, I have other things to do."
Pearl lowered her head, her face darkened, saluted the emperor and Lan Ling, and went out with the girl.
Ling Chen glanced at King Rui: "I won't discuss matters with you today."
King Rui nodded, "It's not business." King Rui also left, not in the same direction as Pearl.
Ling Chen looked at Ling Shuang, "It just so happens that you are here. The eldest prince Dou Erqin of the Great Moon Kingdom will come to propose marriage in the next few days. This eldest prince is a good-looking talent, and the king treats him very highly! He will inherit the throne in the future, you can't No more capricious."
"What? Marriage proposal? Dou Erqin?" Ling Shuang's expression changed.
"You know Dou Erqin, he came here three years ago. You are a princess, and you have the responsibility to go to a neighboring country to get married for the sake of Daxing. Besides, Dou Erqin is worthy of you!" Ling Chen said harshly.
Ling Shuang ran out crying.
Lan Ling saw that Ling Chen's expression was not good, so he brought her tea himself.
Ling Chen sat there, rubbing his temples lightly, as if he was tired. He rarely did this. During this period of time, he wrote papers until late at night, and got up early the next morning. He had never seen him so tired.
And today, with his attitude of letting Ling Shuang get married, Lan Ling understood that he might have encountered a difficult situation.
Lan Ling knew that Ling Shuang fell in love with Jiang Rui again now. Lan Ling didn't ask how Jiang Rui treated her, she thought she liked it.
Ling Chen's hand gently stroked her lower abdomen, "How are you today, did your son torment you?"
"No. Really good."
"He's really nice."
"How do you know it's a son, maybe it's a daughter, don't you like daughters?" Lan Ling said.
"I like my children." Ling Chen patted her.
"Does Ling Shuang have to marry?" Lan Ling tilted her head to look at him.
