69. Chapter 69 Queen's Majesty
Anfu Palace.
Ever since the death of the third prince Nangong Ye, the Queen Mother has not had a good look towards her son Nangong Ao, who is now the emperor.
Nangong Ao came to Anfu Palace to pay her respects many times, but she rejected them all. Although she had always been partial to Nangong Ao, she felt the same pain for Nangong Ye. Now that Nangong Ye is dead, she resents Nangong Ao to some extent in her heart.
I had suspected that Nangong Ye's death had something to do with Nangong Ao.
Nangong Ao, who was standing in the courtyard of Anfu Palace, heard the eunuch Xiao Quanzi next to the Queen Mother reply, "Go back to the Emperor. The Queen Mother is ill and doesn't want to see anyone."
After hearing this polite rejection, Nangong Ao did not leave immediately, he stood there steadily.
Standing in the courtyard, Nangong Ao was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. He was standing tall in the wind. He had an outstanding temperament and exuded the aura of an emperor. However, such a man had a gloomy look on his eyebrows and looked worried.
.
Looking at the open door of Anfu Palace, Nangong Ao felt a tight pain in his chest, thinking that although Nangong Ye's dead empress dowager had never said a word of blame to him, she still blamed him in her heart and was using her actions to punish him.
Expressed dissatisfaction.
He stood in the yard for a long time, until a strong wind blew in the yard, blowing the branches and leaves on the trees and falling on him. Zhang Fugui stepped forward and reminded, "Your Majesty, it is late autumn, be careful of catching a cold."
Hearing Zhang Fugui's voice, Nangong Ao looked back at Zhang Fugui and said emotionally, "Go back to the palace."
Nangong Ao changed his doctrine on the way back to Yang Palace and went to Yongshou Palace where Shen Ruhui lived.
Shen Ruhui, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was very weak. Although her face had some blood color, it was still sallow and lacked the round blush before she fell ill. Nangong Ao ordered her to make ginseng soup every day to replenish her body and bones.
Sitting at the table and drinking ginseng soup, when she saw Nangong Ao coming in, Shen Ruhui immediately put down the bowl in her hand and greeted him happily, "Your Majesty, you are here."
"Yeah." Nangong Ao looked at the joy on Shen Ruhui's face, and he also laughed happily.
Seeing that Shen Ruhui was only wearing an undershirt and a robe, Nangong Ao frowned and said, "Hui'er, the weather is getting cold and winter is about to begin. You should wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold."
Hearing Nangong Ao's concern, Shen Ruhui stood in front of Nangong Ao, raised her face and said coquettishly, "I'm not cold, as long as I can see you, my heart will be as hot as a flame."
Looking at the smile on Shen Ruhui's face, a pair of silhouetted eyes looking at him passionately, and the playful smile at the corner of her mouth, Nangong Ao felt that his lively Hui'er was back again.
"Hui'er, I can't live without you. Don't scare me again in the future." Nangong Ao thought of Shen Ruhui's miscarriage experience. He was frightened. He reached out and held Shen Ruhui in his arms and said softly.
Shen Ruhui was very happy to be held in Nangong Ao's arms. She leaned her head in his arms, listening to Nangong Ao's strong heartbeat and the panic and earthiness in her words. Shen Ruhui was extremely proud.
After a serious illness, Shen Ruhui's bones were very weak. Although she did not lie in bed all day, she basically spent all her time on the bed except for three meals. So after she drank the ginseng soup, Nangong Ao urged her to get on the bed.
Lie down and rest.
Shen Ruhui was lying on the bed obediently, and Nangong Ao was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her. She reached out and held Nangong Ao's hand, holding it tightly as if she was afraid that Nangong Ao would run away.
"Your Majesty, will you lie down with me for a while?" Shen Ruhui moved her body into the bed, making space and said to Nangong Ao.
Shen Ruhui looked at Nangong Ao with a pair of sparkling black eyes. She already felt sorry for Shen Ruhui, but now Shen Ruhui looked at him expectantly with a pair of black eyes. There was no way he could make her disappointed and sad.
He shook Shen Ruhui's hand firmly and said with a smile, "Okay."
Shen Ruhui was ecstatic and smiled brightly at Nangong Ao. When Nangong Ao said that he wanted to lie with her for a while, she looked at Nangong Ao with a stupid look. His stupidity at this time was compared with his usual shrewdness. They are simply two completely different people.
As soon as Nangong Ao lay on the bed, Shen Ruhui placed her hand on his waist, "Your Majesty."
"Yes." Nangong Ao watched Shen Ruhui cuddle into his arms with a shy look on her face. His hands naturally wrapped around her waist and brought her into his arms.
Shen Ruhui, who had not been with Nangong Ao Wen since she fell ill, was very greedy for Nangong Ao's embrace. Her eyes became moist when she smelled the familiar scent of sandalwood on his body.
Nangong Ao noticed something strange about Shen Ruhui, "Huier, what's wrong?"
Nangong Ao was fine before he said anything. As soon as he said something, Shen Ruhui couldn't help crying.
Looking at Shen Ruhui sobbing and crying in his arms, Nangong Ao's heart clenched.
Shen Ruhui cried sadly, and Nangong Ao was heartbroken and kept asking, "Hui'er, what's wrong with you?"
"There are so many new beauties in the harem, and there is also a great beauty like the queen. I'm afraid the emperor will forget Hui'er one day and no longer want Hui'er." Shen Ruhui cried.
The uneasiness and worry of the person in his arms made Nangong Ao feel pain in his heart. He comforted him, "No, I forgot that no one will forget my Hui'er.
No matter how many beauties there are in the harem, no one can compare with my Hui'er.
No matter how beautiful the queen is, she cannot be more beautiful than my Hui'er."
"Your Majesty." Shen Ruhui also shouted movedly, without thinking about how much of Nangong Ao's words were true and how much of them were false.
"Don't worry, I will use my whole life to compensate for what I owe you." Nangong Ao said, rubbing his face against hers.
Although Nangong Ao's guarantee was nothing, Shen Ruhui was still very happy after hearing it. Even if there were three thousand beauties in the harem, as long as he fell in love with her.
Although Ye Wange is a queen, in the eyes of the emperor Nangong Ao, as long as she, Shen Ruhui, is the most noble.
Although Ye Wange currently sits on the throne of queen, one day it will be her and Shen Ruhui's place.
Shen Ruhui felt that as long as Nangong Ao's heart was with her, then she could be inferior to ten thousand people, and the position of queen was nothing but a false name.
Funing Palace.
Ye Wange wore a white lining and a phoenix robe with red gold threads on the outside. The robe had complex patterns, with flying phoenixes, dragons playing with pearls, golden silver thread outlines, flowing clouds on the sides, and waves under the skirt. The design of the tumbling phoenix is flying, and the cuffs show the phoenix leaping among the flowers and flowing clouds. This phoenix robe is extremely gorgeous.
Ye Wange had a Chaoyang Five Phoenix hanging beaded hairpin tied on her head and a gorgeous dress with bright makeup. She stood there and held up a mirror to Xiaodie to let her see her beautiful face.
"The Queen is really a beauty who is as beautiful as a fish and a goose," Xiao Die praised.
Listening to Xiaodie's praise, Ye Wange smiled and said, "You are also beautiful in this gorgeous dress."
"The Queen is making fun of me. I'm just a stupid and ugly girl." Xiaodie said in a condescending way.
Hearing Xiaodie's self-deprecating voice, Ye Wange glared at Xiaodie and said, "Don't underestimate yourself like this, you are a good girl with a kind heart.
When I have avenged my great revenge, I will marry you to a good family."
"I thank you, your Majesty. I will not go anywhere and will stay with you all your life." Xiaodie said sincerely. Ever since she joined the Prime Minister's Mansion as a slave, she had always thought that she could one day redeem herself and live a comfortable life. Later, she followed
Ye Wange, her thoughts faded away.
Ye Wange was just about to say a few words to comfort Xiaodie, when she heard the sound of the crystal curtain on the inner room door being opened. Xiao Zhi opened the curtain and said, "The Queen, the concubines and ladies are all here to pay their respects."
Ye Wange stood there motionless, stretched out his hand to ruffle his hair, and then checked the robe on his body. He found nothing inappropriate about his appearance, and said, "Let them in."
She walked to the main seat in the middle of the main hall and sat down. She watched the concubines coming in one after another. She glanced at the concubines quietly. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and even the jewelry they wore were gold and jewelry.
Ye Wange raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly, and her eyes fell on He Yingchun. She was wearing a light pink dress and a jade hairpin on her head. She looked very well dressed and did not overshadow her as a queen.
of limelight.
"Good luck to you, the Queen." Several concubines bowed and saluted.
"Everyone, get up!" Ye Wange said softly.
After she finished speaking, another chorus of voices rang out, "Thank you, the Queen."
Looking at the concubines standing there, she said, "Don't stand, everyone, sit down!"
After hearing the Queen's words, several concubines immediately sat down on both sides of Ye Wange. Liang Fengyi sat on the left side of Ye Wange, He Yingchun sat on the right side, Han Yue sat on Liang Fengyi's side, Li Fei Jiang Licui and Jade Concubine Zhou Yujiao sat on He Yingchun's side.
Ye Wange saw everyone sitting down and said, "Although the sisters have just entered the palace, they must already know the rules in the palace."
"Yes." Listening to Ye Wange's question, several people responded in unison.
"I won't go into details about the rules in the palace.
As the Queen at the head of the Sixth Palace, I only hope that my sisters will love and respect each other, and not scheming, framing each other, forming gangs, or doing things that disgrace the royal family.
If you have any dissatisfaction or grievances, just come and tell me, my sister, and I will definitely uphold justice for you. You must not disturb the emperor who has just ascended the throne." Ye Wange said majestically as he sat there.
"Yes." Everyone responded unanimously.
"I have prepared a few snacks for everyone, and the sisters chatted while eating." Ye Wange said kindly.
The slave brought the snacks and put them on the table. Although the fragrance of the snacks was fragrant, the concubines were all sitting there dignifiedly, and no one dared to take a look at the drool-worthy snacks.
"Sisters, don't be constrained, feel free to eat as much as you like!" Ye Wange said, looking at the reserved looks of several people.
At her command, several concubines stretched out their hands to hold snacks and tea bowls as if responding to the occasion.
Ye Wange sat there dignifiedly, holding tea in her hand, and glanced at the concubines indifferently. Among the five people who had just entered the palace, she knew that Han Yue and Liang Fengyi were not Shen Liang's people, and He Yingchun was Shen Liang's.
Human beings, this is what she concluded. She has not yet found out the details of the remaining two, and does not know their origins.
Ye Wange observed Concubine Yu and Concubine Li, while He Yingchun, who was sitting on her right, was secretly sizing her up.
He Yingying looked at Ye Wange sitting high on the throne, her words seemed gentle, but her black eyes were serious, and her calm and authoritative demeanor showed the majesty of the queen.
