After Leng Shuang sat down as she was told, she heard Mrs. Leng say: "Just now, the emperor sent someone to deliver the invitation. Three days later, he will hold the enthronement ceremony. Please prepare yourself. Then, we will accompany you into the palace."
Leng Shuang lowered his head and clenched his fists slightly.
She is an orphan, without parents since she was a child. She grew up in the palace, which is a cage. She doesn't like the intrigue life, and she hates the intrigues in the palace.
She wanted to marry Gu Tingyu not for money, nor for vanity, but simply to find a man who would love her for the rest of her life.
"Do you have anything to tell me?" Mrs. Leng stared at Leng Shuang and asked.
Leng Shuang raised her head, looked at Mrs. Leng, and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will find a way."
Mrs. Leng said: "That's good. You go back and rest first. Mom is tired too, so I won't leave you alone."
Mrs. Leng closed her eyes tiredly and said, "Okay, go back and remember what I just said."
"I understand." Leng Shuang nodded, and then left the Ronghua Palace.
"Madam, did the eldest lady agree?"
"I agreed," Mrs. Leng opened her eyes and said, "That's fine, I don't want her to stay with that family all her life."
Mrs. Leng is unwilling to let Leng Shuang enter Beijing, partly because of her origin, and partly to protect Leng Shuang.
If Leng Shuang enters the palace, she cannot guarantee that she can still take care of her daughter as she does now, so at this time, she would rather sacrifice Leng Shuang than take risks.
Leng Shuang walked out of the Ronghua Palace and met a familiar figure.
"Little sister." Leng Yue's eyes immediately turned red when she saw Leng Shuang. She ran over, hugged Leng Shuang, and said with a choked voice, "Little sister, I'm sorry. It's my sister who has caused trouble for you. I'm sorry."
"Idiot," Leng Shuang stretched out her arm, put her arm around Leng Yue's waist, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly: "Between you and me, there is no need to apologize."
Leng Yue let go of Leng Shuang and said, "Little sister, have you really decided?"
Leng Shuang glanced at Leng Yue and said calmly: "Since it has been decided, there is no need to change it. I will go to my father to explain this matter clearly."
Leng Shuang nodded and said, "Well, I want to talk to my father.
Leng Yue took Leng Shuang's hand and said, "Don't worry, no matter what decision you make, my brother will support you."
Leng Shuang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "How are you doing lately?"
"I'm pretty good," Leng Yue said, "I've learned a lot over the years."
"As long as you like it."
The two sisters chatted for a long time. It was not until the eunuch announced that the emperor had come to the Ronghua Palace to announce his decree that they stopped communicating and walked to the palace gate together.
At the palace banquet, all civil and military officials, all neatly dressed, gathered in front of the Ronghua Palace. Leng Shuang and Leng Yue stood on the left and right of Prime Minister Leng, while Mrs. Leng stood on the right with a group of concubines.
At this moment, the emperor is sitting on the dragon throne.
"My beloved sires, I want to marry Concubine Jing. This is a consensual agreement between me and Concubine Jing. I am here today to announce to all my dear sires that I will confer Leng Shuang as the fourth grade Jieyu." The emperor looked at Leng Shuang with a smile and said:
"From now on,
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor." All the ministers bowed in obeisance.
Leng Shuang lowered her head, with a smile on her lips.
It turns out that she is not only Gu Tingyu's savior, but also Jieyu who was appointed by the emperor.
Although she didn't care about this identity, she had no reason to refuse.
"All my dear friends, please live in peace," the emperor waved his hand and said, "Reward."
Afterwards, the eunuch brought the reward in, and Leng Shuang knelt down on the ground, receiving the order and thanking him.
The emperor smiled and said, "Everyone loves you so much."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and stood respectfully.
"I called you into the palace today because I have something to tell you."
Leng Shuang raised her head, looked at the emperor suspiciously, and asked, "I wonder what the emperor's orders are?"
The emperor smiled and said: "I plan to accept Jing
The concubine is the concubine."
"What?" Leng Shuang's eyes widened in surprise, and she said in surprise: "Your Majesty, I don't want to enter the palace."
The emperor frowned and said: "Shuang'er, how can you say such nonsense? We are all royals, so naturally we should follow the ancestral precepts and enter the palace as a concubine. Besides... the queen died young and the harem was vacant. This concubine
Only Concubine Jing is suitable for this position. I hope you can understand my difficulties."
Leng Shuang shook his head and said, "My daughter does not want to enter the palace."
"Shuang'er, I watched you grow up. I know your temper and character. If you refuse to enter the palace, I will never feel at ease in this life. Shuang'er, you must think about it." The Emperor
He persuaded with earnest words: "Shuang'er, you are my child, I don't want to wrong you."
"Dad, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind." Leng Shuang said.
"You...hey..." Prime Minister Leng sighed, changed the subject and asked: "Shuang'er, have you thought about our daughter?"
"I've thought about it," Leng Shuang looked at Prime Minister Leng seriously and said, "Dad, I don't want to stay in the capital anymore. I want to take my brother out to explore the world."
"I'm afraid this won't work," Prime Minister Leng shook his head and said, "If you go out, who will teach your brother his homework?"
Leng Shuang said: "I will find a master and teach him Kung Fu slowly."
"That's fine, you are going to Jiangnan anyway." Prime Minister Leng nodded and continued: "Since you have decided, as a father, I also respect your choice, but you two brothers and sisters must wait for three months.
Come back within three months. If you don't come back after three months, or if you are caught by other countries, I will punish you."
"Dad, I won't let you down." Leng Shuang looked at Prime Minister Leng seriously.
"Well," Prime Minister Leng nodded and said, "Thanks to you for what happened this time. Dad owes you a lot."
"Dad, I'm going to get angry if you say that," Leng Shuang said with a straight face: "I am your daughter, and it is only natural that I help my father. You don't need to thank me. Besides, I don't want you to be in trouble.
I don’t want the emperor to misunderstand you either.”
Prime Minister Leng was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, dad believes in you."
Leng Shuang showed a bright smile and blessed Prime Minister Leng, "Thank you, dad."
"Shuang'er, you should go with your second sister when you go out this time, so as not to bully you all the time." Prime Minister Leng said.
"Dad, I didn't bully her!" Leng Yue protested, "Obviously it's her who always bullies me."
"Stop contradicting your father and pack up quickly. Let's set off to Jiangnan," Leng Shuang said.
"okay, I get it."
After Leng Shuang finished speaking, he left and got ready.
Leng Yue looked at the emperor, then at Prime Minister Leng, but stopped talking.
The emperor smiled and said, "What's wrong? Just say what you have to say."
"I don't understand why the emperor suddenly wants to ennoble my daughter as Jieyu?" Leng Yue asked.
The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I just gave you a title."
"Oh..." Leng Yue nodded and said, "In that case, I would like to congratulate the Emperor and Concubine Jing on growing old together and being united forever."
"Hahaha, let me lend you some good words."
Leng Yue looked at Leng Shuang and said, "Congratulations, sister, from now on, you will be the emperor's woman."
Leng Shuang said nothing, but lowered her head to hide the complicated expression in her eyes.
Leng Yue smiled and said, "Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to Concubine Jing."
After Leng Yue finished speaking, she glanced at Prime Minister Leng who was standing next to her, and then said, "Your Majesty, I still have something to say to my father."
"Say." The emperor smiled and nodded, indicating Leng Yue to continue.
Leng Yue walked over and whispered a few words in Prime Minister Leng's ear. After hearing this, Prime Minister Leng looked troubled.
"What's wrong, Dad, is there something wrong?" Leng Yue asked doubtfully.
"This..." Prime Minister Leng hesitated for a while, looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not disobey the holy will."
"Prime Minister Leng, do you want to disobey me?" The emperor's voice suddenly became stern.
"I don't dare," Prime Minister Leng immediately knelt down.
Leng Yue hurriedly supported Prime Minister Leng and said, "Dad, what are you doing? Get up, you are the king and I am the minister. You don't have to pay me such a big courtesy."
"Okay." Prime Minister Leng stood up and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you just agreed to grant a marriage to your daughter and Prince Jing."
"How can you, child, talk like this? Your Majesty, my child is just impatient. We still need to let the Emperor make the decision for us regarding her marriage."
Prime Minister Leng's words made Leng Yue have the urge to vomit blood. She couldn't help but cursed herself a few words, Leng Yue, you are a princess now, a high-ranking princess. How can it be your turn to speak? Before you get married, you started.
Playing a big role.
"Okay, Leng Yue doesn't understand the rules, so please don't mind, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Leng raised his hands and said, "Now that the Emperor has agreed to us, we can rest assured."
"Okay, after you finish your wedding, I will marry you." The emperor said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Leng said happily: "Your Majesty, I will go down first."
"Well, go ahead."
After they left, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and pondered for a while, then said, "Here comes someone."
"The slave is here."
"Go and pass on my will, canonize Leng Shuang as Jieyu, title Jingfei, and marry King Jing."
"yes."
After the father-in-law who delivered the order went out, Leng Yue was a little confused. She was upgraded inexplicably. What on earth was going on?
"Your Majesty, aren't you being a little hasty in doing this?"
"What? What are you dissatisfied with?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, looked at Leng Yue and asked.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say before that you would grant me a marriage? But why did you change your mind again?" Leng Yue said in confusion: "Your Majesty, if you do this, I really don't know how to thank you."
"Silly girl, you are my only daughter, my dearest child, so naturally I don't want you to marry far away." The emperor patted Leng Yue's head lovingly.
"Your Majesty, I have a request, and I hope your Majesty can agree to it." Leng Yue said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to issue an order to allow my father and brother to stay in the capital. I hope that my parents can stay with me.
