: The Queen

Author: Yang Azhai

A few days later, Luo Chengjing and Lu Wanning finished their game. Luo Chengjing moved his eyes from the black and white chess piece on the table to Lu Wanning's face and said, "A few days ago, the minister wrote another letter to me to enthrone the queen."

"Ah?" Lu Wanning raised her eyes and looked at Luo Chengjing, as if she was puzzled by what Luo Chengjing told her about this.

"Doesn't you have anything to say?" Luo Chengjing said.

Lu Wanning shook his head, "Emperor, I dare not speak casually about such things as the Queen."

Luo Chengjing looked at Lu Wanning pretending to be stupid and twitched, and said directly: "Do I want to ask my beloved concubine if she is willing to be my queen?"

Lu Wanning complained in a sweet voice: "What did the emperor ask me to answer?"

Luo Chengjing said leisurely: "Just as long as the beloved concubine answers truthfully."

If you answer the truth, Lu Wanning of course thought. Which woman in the harem would not want to become the queen?

What's more, she still has Chun'er and Heng'er now. If she could become the queen, Chun'er and Heng'er's identities would be different.

Lu Wanning was silent for a while before slowly speaking: "Of course I am willing and looking forward to being the emperor's wife."

Luo Chengjing was very satisfied with Lu Wanning's answer. He reached out to hold Lu Wanning's hand, and smiled between his eyebrows and eyes.

"Since my beloved is willing, then my beloved be willing to be my queen."

In February of the 15th year of Mingde, Luo Chengjing issued an order to appoint Concubine Shu as the queen. Because the queen's auspicious clothes were also required to prepare, the enthronement etiquette was selected by the Imperial Heaven Supervision and the auspicious day was set on May 16th.

After the imperial edict was issued, the Ruichang Palace was suddenly filled with people. Concubine Kang, Concubine Xian and others took the lead in expressing congratulations to Lu Wanning.

Although some ministers in the court were a little disappointed with such a result, they were somewhat aware of it, and there was no opposition in the court.

The Ruichang Palace was even more joyful.

Three months passed in a flash.

On the morning of May 16th, just dawned, and Ruichang Palace became busy.

The queen's dress was delivered a few days ago. Lu Wanning stood in front of the bronze mirror and was served by Qingzhi and others, wearing layers of queen's dresses and queen's phoenix crown.

When the auspicious time comes, the chief and deputy envoy escort the Jincai Jinbao to the gate of the harem and hand it over to the internal supervisor to send it to Ruichang Palace.

The main hall of Ruichang Palace had already been furnished. After the internal supervisor led the guard of honor to enter, Lu Wanning knelt down in the queen's dress and knelt down. He listened to the official reading of the book and received the book treasure.

After the completion, Lu Wanning still needs to go to the Supreme Hall to accept the visits of all officials.

Praise the whip, beat the bells and drums, and play the great music. All officials knelt down. Lu Wanning slowly walked towards the hall, walked up the steps, and walked to Luo Chengjing step by step, standing side by side with him.

The entire canonization ceremony was grand and complicated. After the canonization ceremony was over, Lu Wanning's entire neck was almost stiff after returning to Fengyi Palace.

In the next few days, Lu Wanning would accept the worship of his destiny, the worship of the concubines and princesses in the harem.

Among the princes and princesses, Lu Wanning saw the eldest princess. The one-year confinement of the eldest princess had already ended. I don’t know if it was the nanny’s teaching that played a role. After this year’s confinement, the eldest princess’s entire personality changed.

Now the eldest princess is much quieter. Lu Wanning heard that even if the punishment has been over, the eldest princess will now copy Buddhist scriptures for a while every day.

Lu Wanning was happy to see such a change.

In the 18th year of Mingde, Lu Wanning was pregnant again and gave birth to his next son Luo Yu in June of the following year.

In the 22nd year of Mingde, Luo Heng, who was only eight years old, was determined to be the crown prince after being inspected by the Grand Tutor and Luo Chengjing.

In the 28th year of Mingde, the fourth princess Luo Chun Nian Fang was sixteen, and it was time to choose a prince consort.

In Fengyi Palace, Lu Wanning's table was filled with portraits of young men from various families collected.

Concubine Kang, Concubine Xian, and Concubine all gathered in the house and picked and chose the young masters of the aristocratic family in the portrait.

"This second son of Lord Ding's family looks like a jade-like face, but he is a handsome young man." Concubine Kang said with a portrait in her hand.

"I look so weak, how can I match our fourth princess?" Hepin shook his head and said, "I think the eldest son of General Mu's family is tall and mighty, and he is so heroic that he can barely deserve us.

The fourth princess.”

Hepin is the daughter of a general and has always admired heroic men. Last year, she chose the son-in-law for the third princess, and she chose the descendants of the generals.

"Although the young master of General Mu's family is good, he is a warrior, and I'm afraid he will be a little confused." Xianpin said gently and gentlely, "I looked at the young master of Chi's family, and I heard that his literary talent was also outstanding.

He is a talented and beautiful person, but his family background is a little bit inferior to our fourth princess."

When Kang Ping heard this, he said, "Sister is wrong. As our fourth princess, no matter which family background is, it is not enough to be seen in front of her. As long as she is outstanding enough, it is enough."

Lu Wanning smiled and watched them discuss, but she didn't say anything. In fact, the portraits of these young masters could be sent to her, so they were naturally very outstanding in all aspects, but whether it was the Queen Mother, Luo Chengjing, or Kang Ping, they could always get from these people.

Pick out the shortcomings.

Especially Luo Chengjing, Lu Wanning mentioned to him some time ago about choosing a princess for the fourth princess. He immediately turned dark and said, "Chun'er is still young this year, so there is no hurry to choose a princess."

But in fact, the fourth princess is already sixteen this year, so it is actually too late to start choosing the prince consort now.

It is not easy to choose the right one in a short while. Maybe you have to choose a year or two, and then prepare for marriage after choosing the wedding date. It will take one or two years or two, and then the fourth princess is about the same.

It's already eighteen or nineteen, and it's already considered late to marry.

After hearing what Lu Wanning said, Luo Chengjing finally felt relieved and asked Lu Wanning to look at the fourth princess first.

However, after seeing the portraits of the princes of the aristocratic family in Fengyi Palace last night, Luo Chengjing still had no good expression and picked all the princes of the aristocratic family in the portrait.

After talking for a long time, Concubine Kang and others did not select anyone who matched the fourth princess from the portrait.

After Concubine Kang left, Lu Wanning looked at the portrait on the table and was worried. All the young men from the aristocratic families were good, but they couldn't just look at this when they got married.

"My Mother!" Lu Wanning was staring at the portrait on the table in a daze. The fourth princess walked in in a hurry, "My Mother, I heard that you are choosing a prince consort for your son-in-law."

Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Who did you hear?"

"If you hear me, don't worry about the queen." The fourth princess hugged Lu Wanning's arm and said coquettishly: "My mother, my son doesn't want to get married. My son will accompany you, your father, and the emperor and grandmother in the palace for the rest of her life.

”

"Nothing nonsense." Lu Wanning smiled and scolded: "Who will never get married in your life?"
