"Koryo Li heard that the new emperor was enthroned, and came to pay tribute. This is Princess Li outside, named Li Yuan. You should have not seen her yet, but let alone you, Aijia and His Majesty have not met either. "
Tribute.
Su Ling nodded.
The Empress Dowager Chu said again: "It is said that it is Concubine Li, but it has not yet been canonized. Your Majesty's meaning is to wait for the daughter of the Xue family and the Liu family, and then talk to the Ministry of Rites. If you come today, the Ai family wants to tell you about this."
Su Ling's eyes were anxious.
At this moment, Li Yuan walked slowly into the Cining Palace, bowed and said, "My concubine, please give the Empress Dowager's concubine peace, and the Queen Mother's concubine."
She wore a moon-white satin robe and a lake-blue horse-faced skirt. She had a gentle voice and a decent demeanor.
"Look up and let Aijia take a look."
Li Yuan raised his eyes slowly.
Bingqing Yujie, bright eyes and good eyes, she is indeed the most beautiful princess in Goryeo.
It took Su Ling a long time to regain her mind, and she said softly, "Be flat, give me a seat."
Li Yuan said, "Thank you, the Empress."
Su Ling looked at her, smiled and said, "You speak Chinese very well, how long have you been studying?"
"Niangniang is wrong." Li Yuan said, "My concubine has been learning Chinese since her opening."
Li Yuan knew from a young age that she learned Chinese and Chinese characters so that she could marry the Emperor of Zhou and fight for her mother's family in Korea.
"Okay, okay." Empress Dowager Chu looked at Su Ling and said, "Concubine Li has been living in the side hall of Yanxi Palace recently, and the Aijia originally wanted to discuss the residence of each concubine with you after the official canonization. , it's better for you to be the queen."
Su Ling paused and said, "Then Changchun Palace."
Li Yuan immediately got up and gave a blessing, and said softly, "Chen concubine, thank the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother."
Immediately, the Empress Dowager Chu took a roster and said to Su Ling, "After the conferring ceremony, the daughters of the Xue family and the Liu family will enter the palace. The Liu family is the only daughter, so it is natural that it is the girl Liu, but the Xue family's daughter is the only daughter. You have more daughters, before you enter the palace, who can you befriend?"
Su Ling's hand holding the roster tightened, and she said slowly, "My concubine entered the palace in the seventeenth year, and since then, I have more contacts with the eldest ladies of the family, and I don't have many contacts with the girls from the Xue family who have not left the cabinet."
The Empress Dowager Chu thought for a moment and said, "Ai's family has met Miss Xue San a few times. Although she has a free and easy temperament, she is someone who can't hide her thoughts. Maybe she can get along with you."
Su Ling said: "Is this a concubine for His Majesty? Whether it is compatible with your concubine or not is secondary. What matters is whether it is in line with His Majesty's mind."
Hearing what she said, the Empress Dowager Chu subconsciously circled the beads in her hand and smiled: "Aijia thought Your Majesty had told you, A Ling, His Majesty has always valued you, and I wanted to wait for you to make up your mind on this matter. ."
Su Ling's eyes did not change, and she said softly: "Then listen to the mother, just Miss Xue San."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a wave of ups and downs from outside the Cining Palace, His Majesty Wan An.
Wearing a jade crown on his head and wearing a white gold thread dragon pattern uniform, the new emperor strode in.
This is the first time Li Yuan has seen the Great Zhou Emperor. He has a sharp outline and a sturdy figure. Regardless of his status, this skin alone can be called the most handsome man she has ever seen in her life.
Su Ling and Li Yuan got up at the same time and gave a blessing, "Your Majesty, Wan'an."
Xiao Yu didn't see Li Yuan, he went straight to Su Ling's side and said, "Sit down quickly."
"The son greets the mother queen."
The Empress Dowager Chu said slowly: "If Your Majesty doesn't look back, Concubine Li still doesn't know when she will stand."
Xiao Yu frowned and turned his head.
Li Yuan glanced at him, lowered his head quickly, and said, "Your Majesty, Wanfu Jinan."
Who this person is, Xiao Yu can naturally guess.
He sighed in a low voice.
After all, Xiao Yu tilted his head to look at Su Ling, but there were no waves in Su Ling's eyes.
His knuckles flexed involuntarily.
For a while, I couldn't tell what it was like.
The Empress Dowager Chu said again: "The Ai family has discussed with A Ling just now. The Xue family should let Miss Xue San enter the palace. Then Miss Xue Wu and Xue Liu are too young to enter the palace too early, and it will not be easy for them to have children."
Xiao Yu's eyes darkened.
In front of the emperor, Empress Dowager Chu said to Su Ling, "You are in charge of these matters today, which is just enough to quell the rumors outside. You are a sensible child, and both Aijia and His Majesty know it well."
"It's not credible at all." Xiao Yu said coldly, "Now that the queen has a body, it's better to trouble her mother for these things."
Empress Dowager Chu continued to smile and said, "Since Your Majesty has spoken, Aijia can only do it for you."
After a long exchange of greetings, everyone left the Cining Palace one after another.
In the early spring, when it was warm and cold, Xiao Yu took the big cloak from Eunuch Sheng's hand, put it on Su Ling, and said, "It's still cold today, why do you wear so little?"
Su Ling didn't answer.
"Slip on the ground, come, I'll support you."
The emperor stretched out his hand, but Su Ling didn't pick it up, but looked at him motionless.
Xiao Yu took her hand, "You can't trust the Queen Mother's words, do you know?"
Su Ling lowered her eyes and hummed.
After a moment of silence, he looked at her seriously and said word by word, "A Ling, when you are here, nothing will change." It will never change.
Su Ling looked at the man's eyebrows, and suddenly thousands of feelings came to her mind.
Can the emperor's promise be believed
"I'll take you back to Kunning Palace."
The conferring ceremony was held before Concubine Xue and Concubine Liu entered the palace.
That evening, Xiao Yu took her to the Imperial Garden.
Walking through Qianqiu Pavilion, you can see Chuxiu Palace.
Green pines and green cypresses, Qionglou and Yuyu, east and west six palaces, are beautiful everywhere.
The figures of the two were pulled very long by the setting sun.
Su Ling raised her hand and stroked the round dragon pattern on the new emperor's crown with her fingertips.
She wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, what Su Huaian said was what she remembered—
"A Ling, once he enters the palace, he is the king. There are differences between rulers and ministers. Before speaking, consider three points."
Xiao Yu stopped and looked down at her, "What is the Queen thinking?"
Su Ling touched her stomach and pretended to be casual: "I always feel that this palace is a bit empty, and I don't know if there will be more people in the future, will it be more lively..."
Looking at each other, Xiao Yu looked at the thousands of words in her eyes and was silent for a long time.
He just held her hand lightly and smiled.
I thought to myself: Ah Ling, wait a minute.
I just need you to wait three years.
Three years is enough.
The light and shadow are gradually shifting, the moon is setting and the sun is rising, and the trees outside the window are singing and flowers are falling.
Xiao Yun stood on tiptoe outside the door and said, "Why can't I go in?"
Zhu Xin said: "First prince, wait a minute."
Your father and mother are not up yet.
