Chapter 17

After buying Chuang Tzu of Qingyun Mountain, an Changqing went to find a craftsman to repair it, clean and sweep it. After such a repair, it was already in the twelfth lunar month.

Seeing that the Laba Festival was approaching, the palace sent a message calling an Changqing and Xiao Zhige into the palace.

According to the Royal custom, as a Northern War princess, on the wedding day, Changqing and Xiao Zhige will go to the palace together to thank you. It's just that a few people in the palace didn't like Xiao Zhige. In addition, an Changqing was also a male princess. Although it was good for all parties, she felt that she should be. Then he simply gave grace to them and saved them from entering the palace.

Therefore, up to now, Chang Qing has not entered the palace.

After seeing off the eunuch, an Changqing was a little worried. At this time of the last life, the palace did not announce them to the palace. After the last marriage, he never went out of the palace again. It was not until new year's Eve that he joined Xiao Zhige.

There are many rules in the palace. After entering the palace, his eyes are black, and he is afraid that he will make a fool of himself and make Xiao Zhige angry. He is even more cautious. He doesn't dare to glance at his eyes, and he is suffering through the new year's Eve in fear.

At that time, the Empress Dowager and the queen summoned him, but he didn't dare to say and see more. He was submissive and nodded his head. Somehow, he managed to deal with it, but he didn't even see what those people looked like.

Now that she was summoned to the palace ahead of time, an Changqing was worried about whether something might happen, and that she might get into trouble. But he smoothed and smoothed what had happened since his rebirth, but he didn't understand what went wrong, so he asked the queen to call him to the palace in advance.

Can't find the reason, an Changqing can only secretly raise vigilance, think there are two days, at least learn the rules of the palace. There are mothers from the palace in the palace. It's just that there are no female dependents in the palace, which has never been used.

Now an Changqing can call people to ask about the rules and precautions in the palace.

"You don't have to learn that." Xiao Zhige stopped and wanted to pass on the blessing of Mammy. He turned his eyes to an Changqing: "you will follow me at that time. They won't embarrass you too much."

An Changqing hesitated: "but Will that leave a handle? "

Xiao Zhige turned his mouth and looked slightly cold: "the more I have, the worse my reputation, the happier they are."

An Changqing slightly Leng, and think of all kinds of rumors spread outside, immediately clear.

A prince with a heavy hand, but without any mother family to rely on, not emperor heart, and doomed to lose the right to succeed. If you have a good reputation and become a hero of Daye, there will be countless guns and arrows waiting for him.

The first one who could not accommodate him was anqing emperor, who was sitting on the supreme throne.

Only now, in the name of being infamous and cruel, and not popular with the people, did emperor anqing dare to continue to hand over military power to him and let him guard the north for himself.

This is what the palace wants to see, and what the various parties in the court want to see.

An Changqing raised her eyes and gazed at him. The man sat on one side with a golden sword and a straight back like a long gun. Just sitting there quietly, he was as calm and reliable as a mountain, as if countless burdens could not crush him.

But an Changqing had seen him crushed.

He gathered the emotion in his eyes and suddenly understood the loneliness of the emperors in the past. In his last life, he had a chance to win, but he chose to let the leader of the Imperial Guard open the gate; he had a chance to survive, but he chose to make his own decision in Qiwu palace At that time, he should be tired of it.

The iron armour is long. Gun, guarding this big Ye River mountain alone, but be scolded by the people, nobody understand. Even his closest self, who should have been with him, regarded him as a monster and was afraid to escape. So in the end He finally chose to put it down.

If the country can't be defended, it won't be. If they call him a tyrant, he will be a tyrant.

If all the people in the world bear him, he will also bear all the people in the world.

In the end, it comes and goes alone.

An Changqing vomited out a mouthful of turbid air and pressed down the sour nose. Suddenly, she stood up, went to him, squatted down, covered the back of his hand with her hands, and looked up slightly: "but I don't want to hear them speak ill of you, you know So good. "

Xiao Zhige breathed and looked at him with dark eyes. After a long time, his Adam's apple glided up and down, and he made a hoarse voice: "if you don't want to hear it, don't let them say it."

The words are always overbearing, but an Changqing thinks that men's cold and hard faces have become lovely. He lies on his knees and rubs his hands: "well, I have to perform well this time, so I won't lose face to you."

Xiao Zhige's heart was slightly hot. His fingers curled up and covered his head rigidly. He stroked along his black hair: "I won't lose face."

"So I have to call Mammy. At least we can't make mistakes in the big rules. "

An Changqing raised her head, and her soft and smooth hair slipped along her fingers. Xiao Zhige held her hand sadly and said, "OK, listen to you."

***On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, an Changqing and Xiao Zhige entered the palace together.

On this day, Chang Qing got up early, and the dress for the audience was already ready. Because he is a man and doesn't need to dress up like a woman, he only changed into a complicated dress.Xiao Zhige also changed into the prince's dress. The pattern on the dress is the same as he. Only Xiao Zhige is black and red, and an Changqing is white and red. One is tall and strong, and the other is slim and handsome. They have two different temperament, but when they stand together, they agree unexpectedly.

Even Anfu sighed in a low voice: "looking at it like this, the Lord and the young master are really a good match."

An Changqing quietly pursed the smile on her lips. Xiao Zhige glanced at an Fu. Although she didn't say anything, her expression was very soft.

They packed up and went out together.

When I went out, it was snowing outside, and the coachman came with a carriage. The heater in the carriage was still chilly and not long after it was on fire. As soon as Xiao Zhige lifted the curtain, he stepped back and asked Wang Fugui to go to the storeroom and bring his fox fur cape.

Fox fur cape is made of rare silver fox that he hunted in Yanzhou. The background is white, but the hair tip is silver gray. It looks like silver light in the light. After the cape was sewn, because he practiced martial arts and was Hardy, he kept it in the warehouse and didn't use it. At this time, it was just for an Changqing.

Wang Fugui came over with his cloak in his hand. Xiao Zhige took it off and threw it on an Changqing carefully.

An Changqing was really cold. Although the dress was very complicated, it was not warm. At this time, his fingers were cold. After Xiao Zhige put on his cloak, he was isolated from the cold wind outside.

Tie the tie, Xiao Zhige said: "go up."

An Changqing smiles at him and steps on the horse stool. Xiao Zhige doesn't ride a horse today. He also accompanies him in a carriage. An Changqing, wrapped in a thick fox fur and warmed by Xiao Zhige, drove to the palace gate in the shaking carriage.

After two doors, to the palace gate, you have to get off the carriage and change into a soft sedan. They got into the sedan chair and were carried by the palace people. One by one, they wandered to Kunyi palace where the Empress Dowager was.

Without the stove, an Changqing rubbed her hands, breathed a sigh into her palm, opened the car curtain and looked out.

The palace is the same as he remembered, but it is not as dead as he remembered. As the new year is approaching, there will be a banquet in the palace. The eunuchs in the palace are dressing up everywhere, and people in the palace can be seen all the way.

The soft sedan shook for nearly two quarters of an hour before it arrived at Kunyi palace.

An Changqing got out of the sedan chair, rearranged her clothes, took off her fox fur and gave it to the maid in waiting, and then walked into Kunyi palace with Xiao Zhige.

There is a fire in the inner hall. When you enter the door, there is a warm fragrant wind. An Changqing does not squint and follows Xiao Zhige to worship.

"Give me a seat." The Empress Dowager slowly raised her hand, and the maid in waiting brought two chairs. An Changqing and Xiao Zhige sit down and finally see the Empress Dowager and the empress.

The Empress Dowager is nearly 60 years old, but she is only in her early fifties. She has a kind face and a string of Buddhist beads around her left hand. She looks very approachable. The empress is sitting at the bottom of the Empress Dowager's head. She has beautiful facial features and delicate posture. At this time, she looks at an Changqing with a smile and says, "a few days ago, I sympathized with your newlyweds, but I didn't call you to the palace. Just today, when I entered the palace, I gave all the rewards I had prepared before, so that you wouldn't say that I'm partial to the crown princess. "

The Empress Dowager sweeps an Changqing and slowly twists her hands to the Buddha beads.

An Changqing dropped her eyes, and her heart came.

But he had been prepared for a long time. At this time, he only pretended to be frightened and said: "Changqing dare not. The crown prince and the concubine are noble, and they are also the elder sister-in-law. The mother should love them. There is no complaint between Chang Qing and Wang Ye. "

"That said, after all, I raised all my children. A bowl of water has to be leveled, and I don't want to hurt any of them." The empress smiles to signal the body side palace female general reward to take up: "see likes not to like."

An Changqing quickly stood up to thank her. On the tray brought by the maid of honor, there are jade pendants, calligraphy and paintings, which are all for men.

After receiving the reward, an Changqing sat down again, and heard the queen say: "the prince and Zhige are the two sons in our palace. The prince got married early, and the children can walk. Now, Zhige is the only way to make our palace worried. Now that he's finally married, it's time for him to break away... "

An Changqing's heart sank, listening to her continue: "you're newly married. Your mother doesn't want to be a nuisance. She's just impatient. Changqing, as a princess, what you should advise is to persuade. You can't just rely on his will. You have to inherit it by blood..."

An Changqing droops her eyes and thinks quickly about the intention of her words. In a sudden change of mind, there was a quick solution.

He suddenly got up, lifted his clothes and knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "please treat the emperor's grandmother and empress. Changqing can't obey."

"The child..." The queen was surprised and asked for help.

But an Changqing knelt down and refused to get up. He stubbornly raised his head and said: "Changqing has already made an appointment with the Lord. In this life and this life, I only wish that they would stay together and the LORD would never leave."
