Empress dowager, the queen sighed

Chapter 78 The Big Wedding

When it comes to Li Lexi, most people will say Heng Wang's childhood sweetheart, the imperial concubine Heng Wang.

Even Chu Yuan knew that the late emperor had appointed third brother a scholarly lady, and knew that it was his sister-in-law, but she was thinking what she shouldn't.

When Li Lexi entered the palace, it was already dark, his father was dissatisfied, men and women were on guard, brother and sister-in-law, the emperor was not in the right mind.

Li Lexi glanced at his father, and said softly: "Father thought of the rules at this moment. When Li San seduced his brother-in-law, did he ever think about the rules?"

Li Tongfu was speechless by his daughter's words, he was stunned for a long time, and then said: "The thing has happened, it's too late to regret it, maybe you still want to be a queen."

"Father favors one and discriminates against another, be careful and suffer a great loss." Li Lexi didn't want to say more, she knew the truth herself, and she would never wake up a person who pretended to be asleep.

The carriage set off, and Li Tongfu felt uneasy. The emperor was still young, and he had not been in power for a long time. If he messed up his senses, the Li family would become a joke.

Seeing the carriage go away, he ruthlessly asked someone to prepare the carriage and went to Prince Heng's mansion in person.

****

Chu Yuan was walking around in the hall wearing a dark black dragon robe. She felt a little uneasy, and regretted it after the decree was made. Men and women were different, and it was dark, so people would criticize Li Lexi.

She looked at Nan Jia, who narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty has not greeted the Queen Mother today."

"Yes, take Miss Li to the Empress Dowager." Suddenly enlightened, Chu Yuan ordered Nan Jia to go quickly, and went to see the Empress Dowager himself first.

The Empress Dowager slept late, and had just walked back from the garden when she saw the lights slowly approaching from a distance, and after waiting for a while, she saw the Emperor running towards her.

It is running, not walking.

"Queen, my son met a girl today, it's very interesting."

The Empress Dowager stood firm and didn't blame the emperor for running unreasonably, she just smiled lightly: "Li Lexi?"

"The queen mother predicts things like a god." Chu Yuan smiled embarrassedly, stepped forward to put his arms around the queen mother's arm, backed away from the left and right, supported the queen mother by himself as if entering the palace, and said quietly: "My son thinks she is very interesting, there is a touch of gentleness in her." She is indifferent, like a hermit in the mountains, and like a goddess in the mountains."

"Why, are you tempted?" The queen mother sat down on the couch, looked at the happy expression on the emperor's face, and frowned, "I remember that Li Lexi was the concubine appointed by the late emperor to King Heng, why did you get so moved?" ?”

Chu Yuan sat down beside the Queen Mother. When asked about this delicate relationship, he felt uncomfortable, so he said, "Heng Wang likes Miss Li San and wants to marry a wife. It will make King Heng dislike it, so I will go and have a look."

"Li Lexi has a beautiful appearance. His mother died young, and she is the successor of everyone. I have seen her mother, who was gentle and beautiful, but unfortunately died young. Li Tongfu is too pedantic to make such a scandal come true. I think the Li family is not strict. But the Ai family would not agree. Hired as a wife and Ben as a concubine, Li San will either be a concubine or Qingdeng Gufo."

The Empress Dowager spoke with displeasure, obviously she wanted to take care of this matter.

Chu Yuan didn't expect the Queen Mother to be angry. For a while, she didn't know what to say. The Queen Mother spoke before her, "If you like, you can accept a concubine, but have you ever thought about your identity?"

Regardless of the identity of the uncle and sister-in-law, the queen mother is most worried about whether the identity of Chu Yuan's daughter's family will be exposed.

She made a perfect idea and prepared a queen candidate for Chu Yuan many years ago. As long as Chu Yuan nodded, she would have a sensible queen and a smart son.

All this will happen after Chu Yuan nods his head. If Chu Yuan disagrees, she will not force it.

"Mother, you're overthinking. I just think she's interesting. I just want to see her. I don't have any other thoughts." Chu Yuan argued for himself.

The queen mother asked Chu Yuan in awe, "What about after we meet? Send her back again? Are you willing to send her away, are you willing to send her away?"

"This..." Chu Yuan was speechless, she didn't think too much, "It's just a meeting, how can it be as serious as you said?"

"The beginning of love is nothing more than a meeting. After the meeting, A Yuan, you should think clearly." The queen mother did not reprimand, nor was she unhappy, she only asked slowly, without showing any impatience, she had a lot of patience, I just want to make the person in front of me understand something.

Chu Yuan was left speechless by the question, and remained silent for a long time, so there were still so many things to do.

The queen mother saw that she was ignorant and did not seem to be assertive in the court, and sighed: "Do you still want to see her after seeing her once? See you every now and then, every day, every moment, and the rest is only liking and love."

Chu Yuan smiled, "Then I'm gone."

It doesn't matter if you don't see or see, she said: "The Li family's affairs are left to you, I will go back first."

The Empress Dowager smiled knowingly, "You won't go to see someone if you snatch them into the palace? Ai's family wants to have dinner, won't you stay?"

"No need, I'll go back first, I'm playing too much today, and the memorial hasn't moved yet." Chu Yuan calmed down in time and suppressed the restlessness just now.She is the emperor and the lord of the people, so she shouldn't waste time with these personal affairs.

In the dark night, Li Lexi's chariot also stopped in front of the palace gate, just in time to meet Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan suddenly stopped, and Li Lexi was greeted by Nan Jia to get out of the car. She lowered her eyes and walked up to the emperor, bowing down to salute, "I have seen Your Highness."

Chu Yuan stared blankly, didn't cry out, didn't make a sound, his eyes fixed on her saluting hands, her throat moved, she stretched out her hand in a daze to touch it.

Stretching into the air, Nan Jia exclaimed: "Your Majesty..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief under the dark night, Li Lexi trembled even more, and lowered his head even more.

Chu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, "It turned out to be Miss Li. The Queen Mother summoned her, so don't be afraid."

"My lady, thank you Your Majesty." Li Lexi's ending sound was nasal, soft and waxy.

Chu Yuan didn't move, but walked up to her and leaned close to her ear.Nanjia gasped, and hurriedly approached to pull the emperor back.

Chu Yuan leaned close to Li Lexi's ear, approaching beyond common sense, intimacy beyond etiquette, she said softly, "The Queen Mother doesn't like Li San."

Li Lexi's body trembled violently, and she could hardly control her breathing. The 'man' breath sprayed on her ears, like charcoal burning her skin.

Chu Yuan straightened up quickly, and boarded his chariot, with a smug smile on his lips. Li Lexi's frightened yet persistent posture was really interesting.

She has changed her mind again.

She was leaning against the chariot, holding a hair that had been torn from her body in her hand, staring at it under the dark light, if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see anything.

She smiled, turned around to look, Li Lexi was still standing at the gate of the palace, was she nervous and scared?

The Empress Dowager's word 'snatch' is very interesting. If she snatches Li Lexi into the court, King Heng will be very happy, after all, she solved such a big trouble for him.

Back in the dormitory, Nan Jia hurried back and shouted: "Little ancestor, you are a frivolous sister-in-law."

"Nanjia, I want to marry Li Lexi as the queen." Standing under the lamplight, Chu Yuan stood tall, his eyebrows and eyes were coquettish, and he spoke with the disdain and pride of an emperor.

Nan Jia's head was in a daze, "Are you trying to cause chaos in the world?"

"No, you see Li San is pregnant, the emperor was furious, and canceled the marriage between King Heng and the Li family. Everything is so logical. Go invite the national teacher, I want to calculate the marriage with Li Lexi." Chu Yuan Said.

Nan Jia didn't dare to disobey, leaned over and exited the bedroom, and immediately sent someone to invite the national teacher.

The national teacher lived in the palace and brought his apprentice Bailishu over.The national teacher is developing the longevity medicine recently, and he is so busy that no one sees him. When he hurried over, he could still smell the medicine on his body.

Chu Yuan asked him to count their birthdays, and she looked at Bailishu who was behind the national teacher who was drooping and said nothing, "When did the national teacher accept his disciples?"

The national teacher did not answer immediately, Bailishu bowed and saluted, "I have seen Your Majesty before, I have been with Master for many years, and I was raised by Master."

After hearing the words, Chu Yuan stopped asking, and quietly waited for the national teacher to calculate.

After a while, the national teacher frowned and shook his head towards Chu Yuan: "It's not right, it's a sign of great danger."

Chu Yuan smiled. The four characters of the national teacher made her a little interested in the calculation. She glanced at the few turtle shells in his hand and said, "The national teacher should remember that it is a sign of great joy."

The national teacher chuckled, "Your Majesty is embarrassing my minister again, but I will not stay in the palace when I went to southern Xinjiang to gather medicine recently. If your majesty has anything to ask, I can ask my disciples."

"Okay, you go to work." Chu Yuan didn't care about his words, but looked at Bailishu who was on the side, "You count."

"I take orders." Bailishu was afraid of Tian Yan, and unconsciously became nervous, and he did not forget to glance at the emperor.

The emperor was 17 years old, his lips were red and his teeth were white, but his eyes were especially beautiful, as bright as stars or underwater.

Bailishu was slightly lost in thought, the little emperor was so good-looking, with just a quick glance, she pulled herself together and calculated carefully.Bailishu's skills are all taught by the national teacher, and the calculation method is also general, and the final result is the same as the master's. However, she speculates that the emperor does not want the master's results, otherwise she will not let her test again.

After thinking briefly, she changed the final result, and leaned over to congratulate the emperor: "It's great joy."

Chu Yuan just laughed, and the national teacher showed a surprised look, then frowned in confusion, and hurriedly led the apprentice away.

After a while, Chu Yuan walked towards the queen mother's palace, she knew that Li Lexi would not leave tonight.

Walking to the Empress Dowager's Palace, Li Lexi was still sitting in the hall, but the Empress Dowager was nowhere to be seen.The maids around did not speak to her, she just sat alone.

Chu Yuan went back and forth, and passed the results of Bailishu's calculations to Li Lexi.

The hall was brightly lit, and it was clearly visible that Li Lexi's nervous hands were entwined.She took the result of the calculation, "This is not the horoscope of His Royal Highness King Heng."

Chu Yuan straightened up, "It's my horoscope."

Li Lexi was shocked, and immediately stood up from the chair, in disbelief, "My daughter, my daughter, I want to go back to the manor."

"Miss Li, I want to marry you." Chu Yuan spent all his time waiting for Li Lexi to cry in panic.

Li Lexi was dazed for a while, looking at the emperor's proud attitude, her upbringing made her feel shameless towards the person in front of her, and her mind became even hotter, she stretched out her hand to hit the person in front of her.

A slap was slapped on Chu Yuan's face, and the crisp sound stunned the maidservant.

Chu Yuan touched his slapped face and felt a little pain. He has a really strong temper. He looks gentle and can be bullied, but he is so stubborn in his bones.

She didn't seem to have done anything outrageous. If she did, Ms. Li would not be able to kill her with a knife.

She rubbed her face, her thoughts drifted, and when she met Li Lexi's eyes, she smiled and humbled herself: "Except for the queen mother, no one has ever beaten me. Miss Li, go back and prepare to become a queen." .”

"My daughter won't agree." Li Lexi gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes.She stared at the emperor in front of her, not knowing what was wrong, why did the emperor torture her when she first saw her.

Chu Yuan showed a little casualness, Li Lexi wants to become a monk, why not be her queen and honor her life, isn't it good?

She wanted to comfort her, but then thought that she was beaten, Li Lexi should come to comfort her, she pretended to be cold, "I am the Son of Heaven, and the entire family of the Li family is in my hands."

Li Lexi cried, and the tears rolled down impatiently, tears streaming down her face.Chu Yuan frowned, but seeing the bubbles on her head turned black, he felt dissatisfied, "I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it yourself. You can either become a queen, or marry Li San to be King Heng."

"Send her back." Chu Yuan was irritated by the black bubbles, walked out of the palace regardless, and ordered Nanjia to send her out of the palace.

If you don't give it a chance, you will lose face.

Chu Yuan was so angry that he couldn't calm down, and hurried back to his bedroom, still feeling pain in his heart, looked at the servants around him, trying to calm himself down, not to be disturbed by an ignorant woman.

I pity her, but she doesn't appreciate it.

Chu Yuan felt that he was being affectionate, so he didn't need to worry about her, and just follow her, and if love became a doormat, he should be a doormat.Her heart hit her chest, and the violent beating made her feel uncomfortable.

After the anger and hatred passed, Chu Yuan quickly calmed down and forced himself to close his eyes to rest. After a long time, he went back to the copybook, reviewed the memorial, and did what he should do.

****

King Heng's carriage entered the palace and Li Lexi's carriage passed by. He was told that it was the queen mother who invited Miss Li to the palace to speak, and his heart sank.

He quickly caught up with Li Lexi, boarded the carriage logically, and took a ride with him.

And Li Lexi looked indifferent, not even looking at him.Heng Wang was impatient, so he reached out to touch her, but she didn't want to, so she hid to one side, "Heng Wang, you know the rules."

"Rules? This king also wants to know whether you are perfect..." Heng Wang is noble, and after being rejected by her, he suddenly felt that he had hurt his face, and the words he said were also malicious.

King Heng was even more annoyed that the emperor called his wife into the palace regardless of the rules, and the emperor coveted his concubine with bad intentions.

He admits that Li Lexi is beautiful, but Li Lexi can only be his and cannot be touched by anyone else.

Not even the emperor.

His words made Li Lexi's eyes widen. She felt that the man in front of her had become unreasonable. She was no longer what she used to be. She didn't like him, but she would do her duty as a wife. What about him?

"His Royal Highness, let's cancel the engagement, and I will give Li San a place."

"Impossible, Li Lexi, you want to abandon this king to seduce the emperor, it's impossible, even if you die, you can only be my ghost." King Heng was furious, with a gloomy expression on his face, he stretched out his hand to grab Li Lexi's Arm, pulling the person in front of him.

He felt that he had been betrayed like never before, and it was a great shame.

Li Lexi didn't know where the courage came from. She responded with a sneer, and said carefully: "King Heng, the Queen Mother knows about this. If you dare to do anything to me, I will show you to death. You betrayed me before, why do you ask me to give up?" I should guard the position of Concubine Heng for you. Also, is the position of Concubine Heng still clean? I feel disgusted to share it with my own sister. "

"Let me marry you, death is impossible!"

****

Before Mao's time, Chu Yuan woke up and sat on the dragon bed without speaking.

She pursed her lips, went to bed and changed her clothes as usual, and called Nanjia after she was dressed. She never let others touch her. This was a habit she had developed since she was a child.

After dressing up, go to court.

Li Tongfu was absent today, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials asked for leave for him. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was not happy about the emperor's summoning of the eldest daughter yesterday.

Chu Yuan is not a muddleheaded person, Li Tongfu gave her a face, she naturally would not hide it, and said in front of everyone: "Heng Wang wants to marry his aunt Li San as his wife, Master Li does not agree. , but Li San is already pregnant, I feel a little tricky, what do you think should be done?"

When the private matter was brought to the court, there were different opinions for a while, and they all talked about it with the attitude of watching the excitement.

Every word you say, you want to see the jokes between Heng Wang and the Li family, and Heng Wang is so ashamed that he wants to sneak into the gap.

After a long time, Chu Yuan said: "The first emperor valued the Li family. I can't let the first emperor Jiuquan not understand, so I respect Lord Li's wishes and cancel the marriage contract of the three of them. There is a folk rule to hire a wife and Ben as a concubine, so Li San can't." As a wife, in this way, King Heng accepts her as a concubine. However, this would be somewhat unfair to the Li family, I thought about making Li Lexi the heir as compensation, and it would also be considered as an explanation to the late emperor, what do you think?"

At first glance, it sounds like King Heng has done something wrong to the Li family, and His Majesty has no choice but to continue the mess.

Only King Heng understood that the emperor wanted to rob her, so he immediately objected, "Your Majesty, the daughter of Li's parents is the concubine of the late emperor. I'm afraid that you will make the late emperor feel cold."

The three brothers fought, and no one else dared to speak casually.

Chu Yuan has been the emperor for more than ten years, and he came to the throne at a young age, so he has a clear understanding of the elder brother's temperament. Since he was facing each other, she didn't need to show mercy, and replied directly: "The first emperor didn't let you be with his own. My aunt and sister have a secret knot together. The Chu family only has three brothers, you and me, and there are no other brothers, so I have to explain to the Li family."

Unwilling to be reconciled, King Heng asked Chu Yuan, "Why did you privately summon Li Lexi into the palace last night?"

"The queen mother was upset when she heard about this, so she called Miss Li to comfort her. She went to see the queen mother when she entered the palace. Ask the people in the palace if she has ever been to my palace. King Heng, what you did is dirty. Forget it, don't use this kind of thinking to speculate on me. Although Ehuang Nvying is good, it depends on whether the girl is willing or not. Hengwang thinks that I can't handle it well, so you can find a way to accept Li San as a concubine, Li Lexi For the princess, do you agree?"

Heng Wang fell silent, thinking about the consequences of this incident, he hesitated.

Chu Yuan immediately seized the opportunity, "You have hesitated, so it can be seen that you have no sincerity towards Miss Li, and the marriage is over. If the Li family agrees, then send the daughter into the palace as the queen, and let's break up."

Let it go, let Hengwang completely lose the opportunity.

King Heng couldn't let it go, he went to the harem to complain to the queen mother regardless.

Since Chu Yuan came to power, the Empress Dowager no longer cared about the affairs of the court and stayed out of the world. When King Heng went to see her, she did not refuse, and asked someone to prepare tea and received him politely.

"The taste of tea in winter is not as good as that of spring tea. It lacks some flavor. Heng Wang, do you like winter tea?"

Before King Heng took a sip, he was thinking about how to answer, when the queen mother said: "Miss Li's mother died young, and her stepmother indulged her daughter in seduction. To seduce brother-in-law, Da Qi will never tolerate such a woman, and Aijia wants to give her death. The emperor said that she was pregnant with your child. Ai Jia thought about it again and again, thinking that the three of you love each other without fear of the worldly eyes, it is very touching. It is too cruel to kill Li San. It is better for you and Li Lexi to divorce the marriage, and it is all for the three of you affection."

"Queen Mother, the minister's wife will be handled by himself. Your Majesty shouldn't take over the minister's wife." King Heng's resentment was hard to appease. Even if he didn't want it, Chu Yuan shouldn't interfere.

Li Lexi is his woman.

The queen mother smiled slightly, "Look at you, how do you make the world think of the royal Chu family? If you play with Qingmei's feelings like this, who will trust the Chu family in the future? Li Tongfu is so angry that he can't go to court, and he is doing it for himself. daughter complained."

King Heng hurriedly defended: "Queen Mother, Master Li is angry at His Majesty for summoning Li Lexi in the dark night, not because he is angry with the minister."

The queen mother looked at him: "When the emperor summoned Miss Li, it was Ai's family who saw her. Don't talk nonsense. Well, since you like her, you should give him a title. You should be satisfied with the title of side concubine. If you don't With your flesh and blood, Aijia will surely die."

King Heng's head was buzzing, the queen mother was partial to the emperor, he was not convinced, "You are unfair, you are partial to His Majesty."

"Heng Wang was joking. Your Majesty was born to the Ai family. Naturally, the Ai family feels sorry for others. Is it possible to feel sorry for others? Well, why don't you think about her reaction before you sleep with your sister?" The queen mother's smile suddenly froze. , is no longer amiable.

King Heng knew he had made a slip of the tongue, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and left the palace in despair. He didn't want to just let it go, but went to find Li Tongfu.

The Li family received two orders at the same time, one was to withdraw the marriage, and the other was to grant the marriage. The people in the house didn't know, but Heng Wang broke in.

King Heng held a sword in his hand, with a gloomy face, and pointed at Li Tongfu: "One woman does not serve three husbands, Li Lexi should kill himself now to prove his chastity."

Mrs. Li's eyes were hurting, and she was extremely jealous in her heart. She echoed: "The Li family is not promiscuous. Your highness is right, my lord, please say something."

"The imperial decree has been issued, she is the queen, and we have no right to dispose of her." Li Tongfu met King Heng's jealous eyes. He didn't understand why the emperor suddenly came to meddle and put the Li family in a dilemma. Wife, shame on people.

The emperor is capricious and definitely not benevolent, but he doesn't know what to do.

King Heng refused to give up, "Your Excellency is her father, you have the right to dispose of her now."

Li Tongfu didn't say a word, Mrs. Li turned around in a hurry, and hurriedly went to his cuff, "Li Lang, the Li family can't keep such a daughter."

"Your Highness, the Li family's daughter, the Li family, will take care of herself. Take your sword away. The fourteenth day of the first lunar month next year will be the day when the Li family's daughter will enter the palace." Li Tongfu refused.

King Heng was trembling with anger, smashed his sword, turned and left, "Since this is the case, this king cannot marry the daughter of the Li family."

Mrs. Li fainted immediately after hearing the words, what should her daughter do?

****

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor gets married.

The dragon and phoenix candles were extremely bright, the room was scarlet, the red carpet was spread on the floor, and joy was everywhere. Gong'e stood at the entrance of the hall, chatting and laughing, listening carefully to what the empress had to say.

After Chu Yuan stepped into the palace, he didn't say a word, didn't go to see the queen, and said coldly: "If you don't hit me, maybe I won't marry you."

Li Lexi raised her eyes and looked at the young man under the candlelight. Is the emperor sick?

The author has something to say: Chu Yuan: I am not sick!

There are red envelopes in the comments in this chapter, and there will be money in the new January.
