[Three Kingdoms] I am the queen of the Great Wei Dynasty

Seeing that Tang Ling was so flustered, Ah Sheng thought she was being harassed by some hooligans. As soon as she arrived at the mansion, she hurriedly checked her body for any injuries. Who bullied you? Don't be afraid, I'll bring a few servants to help you fight back."

"No, no—" Tang Ling murmured and shook her head desperately, but she seemed very shy, and forced herself to hold back a word for a long time.

A Sheng thought she was being bullied and dared not speak up, and shook Tang Ling's shoulders with hatred, with a helpless and eager tone: "Tell me, how can I help you vent your anger if you don't tell me?"

Tang Ling faltered for a while, and seeing that the veins on A Sheng's forehead were about to pop out, he stammered, "I, I told you, don't—don't tell brother-in-law Wen He."

When Ah Sheng heard it, many question marks popped up in his mind, Wen He?Who is Wenhe?This Tang Ling's words are incoherent, people don't know the east, west, north and south after listening to it.

"What Wen and brother-in-law?" She couldn't help asking in doubt.

Only then did Tang Ling realize that she covered her mouth as if she knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and smiled embarrassingly: "That, I made a mistake, it's brother-in-law Wen Ruo."

A Sheng couldn't help but looked around Tang Ling suspiciously, and her keen intuition told her that Tang Ling hadn't been bullied at all, and there was a high probability that she had met some man who made her heart flutter, which caused her to be out of her mind.

Thinking of this, she grinned at the corners of her mouth and showed a meaningful knowing smile, and looked straight at Tang Ling who was rubbing the corners of her clothes, making Tang Ling think that she had been seen through, and simply expressed her constantly struggling emotions to A Sheng confided: "It's only today that I understand what it means to fall in love at first sight."

She looked at the revolving lantern in her hand, the flame of the candle seemed bright and dim, against the backdrop of the dazzling and bright light mountain in the distance, it looked fragile and tiny, as if it could be blown out by a gust of wind.

She lowered her head, and seemed to be muttering to herself again: "I think he is also happy with me in his heart, there is light in his eyes when he looks at me."

"Since you really like it, then you don't have to be afraid of scruples, and go show your heart to him." A Sheng felt that since Tang Ling could meet a man who made her fall in love at first sight, if it wasn't for the disparity in family background, she could definitely give his heart to him. To put it bluntly, if you are in love with each other, you can ask a matchmaker to ask for your name.

Tang Ling nodded when she heard the words, and gently hung the revolving lantern under the pergola outside the door, as if she was afraid of accidentally dropping it.

In the early morning of the next day, Tang Si ran into Tang Ling's yard just as the crisp warbler's cry sounded, his steps full of ecstasy.She opened her eyes wide in excitement, and urged loudly to her sleepy-eyed younger sister, "Wake up!"

Tang Ling rubbed her sleepy eyes. She stayed up all night last night, thinking of Wen He's smile when he handed her the revolving lantern.She yawned and asked, "What's the matter, sister?"

The smile on Tang Si's face overflowed: "The Empress Dowager He is grateful for the kindness our father has given her, and invited you to attend her banquet with those ladies from the family. If you can win the favor of the Empress Dowager He, then our brother will be able to rise to the top It will not be difficult to continue the Tang family's glory, our Tang family will be a first-class family."

"Isn't the current Tang family not well-fed enough? Why bother to fight for that high position?" Tang Ling didn't understand why her sister wanted the so-called glory so desperately. .

Tang Si didn't know why her younger sister was so easy to satisfy, she frowned and patted Tang Ling's forehead, her tone was a little helpless: "Do you know why your brother-in-law has always been lukewarm to me, and only treated me politely?"

Tang Ling didn't understand why her sister asked this question, but she often saw her sister playing the piano or reading in the pavilion, Xun Yu was not indifferent to her sister, he would answer her questions and show her music that she didn't know , It seems that it is not the lukewarmness that my sister said.So she looked at Tang Si with puzzled eyes: "But, I think the relationship between brother-in-law and you is very harmonious."

Tang Si couldn't help laughing, thinking that this younger sister is really innocent in seeing things, and her voice suddenly became a little sad: "Harmony. What I want is just the word harmony. I don't understand what he usually thinks at all, and he never Will tell me. I don't want this so-called respect as a guest, I want him to treat me as his lover and take the initiative to talk to me."

As she was talking, she leaned against the wall dejectedly, and gave a low laugh: "Three years have passed, and I only now understand that he was really unwilling to marry me back then."

Suddenly, she firmly grasped Tang Ling's shoulders and became excited: "It's all because our Tang family is in decline, and the Xun family looks down on us from the bottom of our hearts. We must show them that the Tang family will be more powerful in the future. The Xun family is stronger."

After finishing speaking, she looked at her sister who had been silent all the time with expectant eyes, and said: "Empress Dowager He once came from a humble background and could not gain a foothold in the harem of Emperor Lingdi's three thousand beauties. It was father and Zhang who supported them and gave birth to Today's young emperor, since then she has been able to sit on the current empress dowager position with respect to mother and child. As long as you please her, she will definitely reciprocate and help us."

Ah Sheng hid under the wisteria trellis outside the door and heard it clearly.She wasn't someone who eavesdropped on the corner, but just now when she couldn't help herself and came to Tang Ling to ask about what happened yesterday, she saw Tang Si running over with a happy face, and didn't notice her existence.She was curious, so she hid and listened for a while.

After hearing Tang Si's confession, she was not surprised.A Sheng could see very clearly that Xun Yu's affection for his wife was only "treating each other with courtesy" as Tang Si himself said, which was his bottom line as a modest gentleman.

But what's the point of asking for this kind of love that respects each other like a guest and raises eyebrows.

What I want is the sincerity from my future husband.I want him to see me all, and he can only have me, and no one else will be tolerated.

***

Two days later, it will be the day of Empress Dowager He's banquet. This morning, Shi Xiang combed Tang Ling's hair.While Tang Si was gesturing, he kept disliking the maid's hand-cutting skills.

Seeing that Shi Xiang was in a hurry for a long time, Tang Si couldn't wait, and personally tied a delicate Ganoderma lucidum bun for her sister.She looked left and right with satisfaction, and before sending her to the carriage to the palace, she looked at Tang Ling meaningfully: "Remember what my sister said the day before yesterday."

When Tang Ling timidly got out of the carriage, she couldn't help being shocked by the scene in front of her.The Changle Palace in front of you is majestic and majestic, the glazed bricks and tiles are covered with thick snow, and white clouds hover over the palace, adding a sense of sacredness and overlooking all living beings.

This deep red brick palace wall is endless, as if once you walk in, you will be imprisoned forever, and you will never be able to break free from now on, and you can only be imprisoned here for life after life.

"This is Miss Tang, right? Just as she raised her eyes to see the scenery," an eunuch with a flattering smile came forward holding a whisk, and said with a shrill smile.

Tang Ling hurriedly nodded in agreement, then cupped her hands at the inner prison and said, "Eunuch Lao will lead the way."

The inner eunuch raised his right hand to a small path on the right, and bowed at the same time: "Miss Tang, please."

Tang Ling followed the eunuch into the imperial garden, where the wintersweet was in full bloom, and a sweet fragrance could be smelled from a long distance away.The pale yellow flowers bloomed alone against the cold in the wind, compared to all the flowers and trees in the world.

From a distance, she saw Empress Dowager He, wearing a phoenix crown and a fine dress with dark cloud pattern and gold trim, sitting in front of the crowd, and quickly sat down in her own seat.She kept her head down and didn't dare to look directly at the magnificent and overbearing Queen Mother He, but she could hear the latter chatting kindly with other women from other aristocratic families around her.She didn't dare to speak, just listened quietly.

Suddenly, Empress Dowager He called her name, her voice was full of love and majesty as the mother of a country: "Which one is Tang Ling, the youngest daughter of Tang Heng's regular attendant?"

When Tang Ling was called by her name, she hurriedly left her seat and fell down on the ground, not even daring to vent her breath, she replied tremblingly: "The young girl is Tang Ling, the young girl who used to serve Tang Heng, to see the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager He saw that she was trembling and trembling all over, so she couldn't help smiling, so she asked Tang Ling to stand up in a kind manner: "Miss Tang, don't be afraid, get up quickly and let Aijia see how you look."

Tang Ling resisted the profuse sweat from her head, and raised her head in panic, her eyelids drooping.Empress Dowager He looked at her carefully and couldn't help admiring her.

Tang Ling in front of her face is covered with lotus, her eyes are full of autumn water, her shoulders are narrow and her waist is thin, and she is wearing a jade-colored multi-feathered cloak that further outlines her petite and charming figure.What Empress Dowager He appreciates the most is her innocent eyes that have not been deeply involved in the world, as if she is full of expectations for the future and completely unaware of the dangers of the outside world.

"It's really a stunning beauty." The Queen Mother He and the maid beside her looked at each other, showed a look of approval in unison, then looked at Tang Ling and said, "I heard that Tang Heng's wife is a famous beauty in the past. My daughter is also so beautiful."

Many women present cast jealous glances at Tang Ling. It was their dream to win the favor of Empress Dowager He, but now that the limelight was all taken away by this little girl, how could they be reconciled.

Tang Ling felt the burning eyes behind her, and quickly bowed her head to the ground again, resisting the original fear, and tried to calm her voice: "Little girl has no talent or virtue, how dare she be worthy of the empress dowager's praise."

Empress Dowager He signaled to the inner eunuch, who brought a paulownia box knowingly.He walked up to Tang Ling and opened the key, and in front of him was a painted peony hairpin decorated with twelve golden tassels.Ambilight, bright and dazzling, at first glance, it is a treasure that can only be found in the imperial palace.

All the women around me gasped, they all knew that this was a priceless treasure, but now it was given to Tang Ling by the Empress Dowager herself, and the audience fell silent in an instant.

"Miss Tang, don't need to be humble. The Ai family likes you very much, so they specially gave you this gold hairpin. As far as its origin is concerned, it was a gift from the late emperor after giving birth to Bian'er in the Ai family. I hope Miss Tang will cherish it well." Empress Dowager He looked at Tang Ling who was flattered, and smiled.

Tang Ling was stunned and didn't know why the queen mother gave her the reward from the late emperor, but she knew that the royal things could not be turned back, so she took the paulownia box respectfully, held it and bowed to the queen mother: "Thank you Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has no future."
