After the scum of the enemy prince, I got pregnant

Li Pei pretended to pass on the queen's edict, which was a temporary idea.

But even so, the officials and family members waiting to enter the palace outside the palace gate were all sent away. After Fu Nanyin and Li Pei staggered in the carriage, they entered the Daming Palace and passed through the Danfeng Gate. , only to regain consciousness in a trance,

"I……"

Li Pei was originally hugging Ah Fei, but when he heard Fu Nanyin who had been silent all this time finally speak, he hurriedly turned his head, and saw that he was hesitant to speak,

"what happened?"

It's okay to just pass the Danfeng Gate now, but the Longshou Mountain in front of it is the inner palace.

Fu Nanyin closed the wooden window of the carriage, and said hesitantly, "I'm a foreign minister, going any further...it's not appropriate."

What he wanted to say was that entering the Penglai Hall to meet the Queen in his current capacity was ultimately not in accordance with the etiquette.

Funanyin's retreat thought she was restrained and reserved, but in fact it was already deafening in Li Pei's ears.If he hadn't seen this person's careful thinking at the gate of the palace, he wouldn't have decided to drag the big and the young in the carriage into the palace even though he had already left the palace.

"Don't worry," Li Pei held Ah Fei with one hand, and freed the other hand to hold Fu Nanyin, "The call was made by the queen mother, and people were brought in alone, no one dared to say 'inappropriate'. "

It is true that Funanyin was overwhelmed. I thought Daming Palace would have 3000 beauties like the Mobei Palace, but along the way, I never saw anyone other than the palace people in twos and threes. The huge inner palace seemed a little strange Desolate and desolate.

This sense of weirdness has continued to the Penglai Hall of Empress Xu.

Perhaps after five years of wasting in Yongxiang, the queen's palace is very clean.Not only the main hall, but even her people. The phoenix robe was not decorated, and she was kneeling quietly on the futon, facing the portrait of an unknown god or Buddha on the wall. Turn your back to the visitor.

Maybe the queen Xu shouldn't be described as "wasted".

Her back is straight, still carrying the arrogance of the noble daughter of the noble family and the mother of a country in the past, never bent.

When the two came, the servant outside the door had already reported it.Empress Xu didn't intend to get up from the futon, but when she heard footsteps, she raised her hand to tell Li Pei and Fu Nanyin to approach.

"The prince said he wanted to bring someone to show me, is it you?"

She didn't look back, so after asking this question, Fu Nanyin suddenly felt a little embarrassed, even when she first saw the saint's life and death, she never felt such a weird feeling.

What she said was... bring someone.

No one was mentioned.

How much did Li Pei and Queen Xu say?

Talk about their relationship?Did you tell about his life experience?Said...is he a man?

Xu Hou was still waiting for his reply.

Funanyin didn't dare to hesitate, but her mind seemed to be shut down, and she suddenly knelt down and performed a courteous ceremony.

"Minister Fu Nanyin, minister of the Ministry of Rites...has met the queen."

After these words, the expression on Li Pei's face finally became subtle.He didn't tell Empress Xu that the person he was going to bring to show her was the Crown Princess who was going to marry in the future, and he even brought Ah Fei, but he wanted to take this opportunity to let his mother recognize this daughter-in-law.

There is no mother in the world who does not look forward to her son getting married, not to mention the person beside her who gave birth to the eldest grandson for the royal family.

But he didn't want Funanyin to mess up his composition when he made a sound.

"It's not... the queen mother, he is..."

He was about to explain, but he saw that Fu Nanyin's body collapsed tightly, and the exposed ears were glowing red. He was obviously disturbed, so disturbed that such a smart person would come up with such a stupid idea to cover it up.

Li Pei suddenly wanted to laugh, but he didn't say what was on his lips.

Empress Xu knew about it.

But just because I knew it was even more surprising.Her composition was also disrupted, and she was stunned for a moment, then gave Li Pei a strange look, and then turned to look at the people who were kneeling and saluting.

man.

foreign minister.

Minister of Rites.

The crown prince's sweetheart, the crown princess who will be hired into the East Palace in the future...

She didn't know how to put these identities together on the person in front of her, so she could only say "get up" temporarily.

So Fu Nanyin's face clearly fell into the eyes of Empress Xu.

The Penglai Hall, which already had an awkward atmosphere, became even more silent.

"You look..." The queen was obviously astonished, the words that were about to be blurted out were a bit abrupt, she paused, but finally said it, "You look like an old friend I know."

So Fu Nanyin knew that Empress Xu, who had just come out of Yongxiang, knew nothing about what happened in the court.Li Pei didn't have time to say anything to her.

Funanyin took a deep breath, and wanted to say "how come you don't know him", and wanted to remind "the minister is more like that old man", but the queen's expression was so strange at this time, she called Funan Unable to hold the sound, he lowered his head and listened quietly, without any further nonsense.

"There is such a coincidence in the world." The queen seemed to be saying to the people behind her, and also seemed to be talking to herself: "His child is probably as old as you, but your surname is Fu, so it's not like that." ...I don't know if he has been successful all these years..."

These few words are really vague, even if Li Pei and Fu Nanyin can hear that the "old man" mentioned by the queen is Ning Xu, that's all.

But they didn't know that at this time behind the rolling curtain, the pair of dark golden dragon-patterned soap boots suddenly stopped, as if they heard something unbelievable.

When the sage came, he was not sung, and the few people in the room didn't notice him, and didn't know the strangeness in Xu Hou's meaning, so they continued to say the previous words.

"If the queen is asking about the minister's biological father, Ning Xu, he has passed away many years ago."

If the sage wasn't in a trance, he certainly couldn't bear to hear this sentence.What he was thinking at this moment was the late night when the late emperor secretly executed Ning Xu many years ago. He begged all he could, but he was locked in the bedroom and could do nothing... Almost everyone thought that Ning Xu was bound to die.It wasn't until a long time later, when he had already ascended the throne, that he learned from the Ning family that the corpse was not Ning Xu's. Then he realized that it was a golden cicada that escaped its shell, and that Ning Xu did not die that night in Ye Ting. .

No one should have known about this except the Ning family, except...

Except for the person who helped Ning Xu escape.

I will know later.

How could she know...

"Walking around, it still ends like this." Empress Xu's expression was calm, but very complicated.She was not surprised by Fu Nanyin's life experience, nor by Ning Xu's death, but looked at the old painting on the wall illuminated by Buddha's light, and remained silent for a long time.

Such a look and reaction were definitely not what Fu Nanyin had imagined.He instinctively sensed that Empress Xu must be hiding some secrets related to the events of the year, otherwise all the whole picture that can be outlined by a single emotion, why did she overturn the heavy ink and color but still only show a corner?

If he felt innocent, he would resent him during the five years of confinement; if he felt ashamed, he would not be so calm on his face; if he was really calm, he would not show that regretful expression when he mentioned Ning Xu's death.

So weird.

Li Pei can also see it naturally, but his position is much more complicated, he is afraid that his mother will resent Fu Nanyin, and he is also afraid that Fu Nanyin will have a grudge against his mother.But both of them were too calm at this time, but one fell into memory and the other fell into confusion.He was the only one who looked a little anxious beside him.

In fact, after not seeing Xu for five years, even though the biological mother and child are still a little strange.What's more, why is his purpose today to talk about old disputes again?He clearly came for the marriage offer.

Just now when he met Empress Xu alone, he mentioned it, and he even mentioned Ah Fei.

Coincidentally, the wet nurse had just finished feeding the little emperor's grandson in the side hall, and was about to bring the child in, but when she saw the silent saint standing behind the curtain, she was startled, and her hands were almost unsteady.

It seems that there is a special connection between the biological "mother" and the child. Before the wet nurse entered the door, Fu Nanyin subconsciously turned her head away. In the arms, there was no time to salute the saint in the future, and there was no time to reprimand the nurse, so the tight body collapsed to reveal a lingering fear.

At that time, the kneeling nurse realized that she had almost caused a catastrophe, and she was already shaking like a sieve.The saint was obviously also angry, and pulled him out with a sullen face to deal with him.

Only Ah Fei didn't know anything, and the baby's babbling broke the dead silence in the hall.

After the crisis was over, Funanyin let out a slow breath after a while.

Both Li Pei and Queen Xu looked up at him.

The sage came too late without realizing it, but he also turned his head to look at him.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites."

Empress Xu slowly said the four-character title.

If it was a foreign minister, he would be more familiar with the little emperor's grandson's movements in a natural way, and in anyone's eyes, he would be able to say a few words: This was born by me.

Funanyin: "..." careless.

His momentary inattentive reaction finally pierced the concealment he had just entered the door, his earlobe was a little red, and he subconsciously looked at Li Pei, but he was bumping into the long and narrow eyes full of gentle smiles.

"Aren't you going to explain, Shangshu Ning?"

But he said such embellished words.

Blushing again, Fu Nanyin still maintained her composure, not wanting to be disrespectful in front of Empress Xu, but looked at Li Pei with a bit of embarrassment in her eyes.He handed Ah Fei to the man's arms, and threatened in a low voice:

"Shouldn't His Highness explain this kind of words?"

It is rare for Li Pei to see Fu Nanyin look so annoyed and angry, the corners of his mouth are grinning behind his ears, but he still holds back his smile and nods solemnly,

"Ning Shangshu really wants to speak alone?"

Although there is a fat man between the two, they are still very close, and the charming atmosphere of mutual connection between lovers cannot be concealed.Empress Xu watched from the side, and also smiled silently. In the past, she might want to look at the saint at the side, but now she has no such habit.

She is relieved to see that her son can find someone he really likes, and doesn't have to be a pair of seemingly incompatible couples like she and the saint.

Seeing that the man was actually Ning Xu's child, she felt a little relieved in her heart.

It is good after all.

"My son brought the Minister of Rites into the palace today, and one is for the palace banquet in a month's time. Minister Ning has not been in office for a long time, and he doesn't understand the tricks. I also ask my mother...and my father to send someone to give me some pointers."

While speaking, Li Pei carried Ah Fei in his arms to show Queen Xu and the saint.

With his back turned, he only listened to the voice, but seemed to see the dazed look on Funanyin's face, as well as the hesitant look on his face, "...what palace banquet?"

Li Pei smiled even more, but didn't look back: "Don't Ning Shangshu know? Naturally, it's the hundred-day feast of the eldest grandson of the emperor."

Ah Fei was born prematurely in Mobei Palace two months ago, and will be [-] days old in one month.

The hundred-day feast of the eldest grandson of the emperor has always been a big feast for the whole world to celebrate. At that time, the sage will give the name and officially record it in the royal family's name and announce it to the world.One month seems a bit rushed, but what Fu Nanyin didn't know was that the sage had already ordered people to prepare for this matter when they were still in Mobei, and he, the Minister of Rites, only needed to go through the motions.

What's more, besides being the Minister of Rites, he also has another identity...

The sage didn't know what these people in the room were up to.He had heard that the crown prince and Fu Nanyin had both arrived at the Penglai Hall, and he wanted to tell Empress Xu about their wedding, so that he could choose a date to make an order.As a result, he was disturbed for a long time because of what the queen said just now, and he almost forgot.Now hearing Li Pei calling Fu Nanyin "Ning Shangshu" in front of the queen, I thought there was something awkward between the young couple.

Then look at Funanyin's weird expression with a hint of aggrieved expression.

Sure enough, something was wrong... The saint thought to himself, and couldn't help but glared at Li Pei.

Saint: "The Hundred Days Banquet is not a big deal, the main thing is..."

"Father!" Li Pei felt that the saint's eyes were wrong just now, so he hurriedly interrupted him, facing the obviously displeased Longyan, and for the first time in five years, lowered his head and explained softly, "Don't worry , Ning Shangshu asked my son to tell me."

The saint looked at him with a frown, but was comforted by the smile of Empress Xu who was beside him.

Li Pei turned his head and glanced at Fu Nanyin, then knelt down towards the empress, and said solemnly:

"Secondly, my minister has been pleased with Ning Shangshu for many years, and I will not marry you in this life. I also ask my father and queen mother to give me a marriage."

At that moment, Funanyin's mind suddenly went blank.

He didn't expect it.

Everything seemed to be caught off guard.

Even though he knew rationally the purpose of Li Pei bringing him into the palace today, he never thought that Li Pei would have such a proposal, would be here, at this moment, with such a tone and expression, after such a sentence...

I couldn't hear what the saint and the queen said, couldn't hear the laughter next to my ears, couldn't see the expression in front of me clearly, I just vaguely saw someone calling his name.

"Ayin..."

"Crown Princess..."

"Ning Shangshu..."

"The three books and six ceremonies, the dowry of the East Palace, and the dowry of the crown princess, so I have to worry about the Minister of Rites..."
