In the luxurious palace, Concubine Shu leaned on the soft pillow with a white face.
Emperor Qianhua had just left, and the eunuchs, maids, and concubines who followed him all left like a tide.
The only person in front of her now was Tantai Shi with a cold face.
"Mother, why?"
"Don't disobey your father," Concubine Shu stared at Tantai, "Everything you have now was given to you by your father. You should learn to be content and don't fight for things that don't belong to you."
When she stretched out her hand to pull Tantai, she didn't move away. Her fingers were as cold and stiff as a stone.
"I don't want this." He said solemnly: "We are also our father's children. Why does the prince agree to everything he asks for? And I can only tolerate obedience and regression?"
Why didn't the queen know that Emperor Qianhua was interested in Lingchan? But she ignored it and only cared about the prince's wishes.
And his mother would only advise him to give up.
"I am not willing to accept it," Tantai said: "If you want me to be servile and obedient, I would rather die."
Slavish and obsequious, obsequious and obedient.
Concubine Shu clenched her fingers. She came from a humble background and was lucky enough to be favored by Emperor Qianhua. She lived like a dodder flower depending on Emperor Qianhua.
She never dared to say no to Emperor Qianhua.
She was the concubine that Emperor Qianhua had favored for ten years, and she was his only true love since he became emperor.
……no.
She is a shield for gossip, a gateway to a poor family, and even a whetstone for him to test his courtiers.
She is the tool of Qianhua Emperor.
Because she made herself useful and convenient enough to be pampered for ten years.
Emperor Qianhua didn't have any tenderness for her, so how could she dare to be so proud of him? Where did she get her pet from?
Tantai knew all these things, but he refused to give in and docilely remove his bones like his mother-in-law, leaving only a pool of beautiful flesh.
A weak person like her raised a child with the strongest backbone in the world.
This was her child, and she watched him grow into a boy as straight and as hard as a green pine... She should fulfill his wish.
"Okay," Concubine Shu said, "If you want to marry a girl from the Fu family, my mother will help you."
…
Concubine Shu does what she says.
The next day, she invited Lingchan to be a guest in the palace, and asked Lingchan in a gentle voice what she thought about Prince An's marriage proposal yesterday.
Lingchan's cheeks turned red and her voice sounded like a mosquito, "His Royal Highness, King An, looks like a dragon and a phoenix. I have nothing to say against you..."
"Oh?" Concubine Shu said, "But my son is usually very picky. Since you two are in love, you must be able to take good care of him after you get married, right? Do you know what he likes to eat? What kind of things he likes to do? What kind of incense does he smoke on weekdays?" "
Lingchan: "..."
The system quickly searched for the original work: [I looked for it... and found it! 】
Ling Chan smiled obediently and said: "Your Highness usually washes his face with mountain spring water from Yuquan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. After the water is warm, add two drops of toilet water and soak it in the silk cleansing water... The underwear should be made of comfortable fine cotton and linen. It takes three times before you can put it on your body...the fragrances you smoke in spring, summer, autumn and winter are different, and you have to find a special perfumer to make them every season..."
Concubine Shu: "!"
She just asked casually! This girl is really so affectionate towards her son, even she, the mother-in-law, doesn’t know about these trivial things!
She smiled more gently at Lingchan, changed the subject, and talked about common things.
That's enough.
She knew that these words would reach Emperor Qianhua's ears.
Emperor Qianhua will be like her, as Lingchan wishes.
Concubine Shu knew Emperor Qianhua very well.
The aloof emperor neither covets the looks of beauties nor enjoys high beds, soft pillows, gold and silver jewelry. His only interest is to manage the country in his hands and make the Yong Dynasty more prosperous day by day.
What Emperor Qian Hua wants has never escaped, and Ke Lingchan is just a beautiful and dispensable pet for him.
At the celebration banquet, Emperor Qianhua would not let King An get his wish because King An's gesture of asking for marriage was almost coercive. Emperor Qianhua would never allow anyone to offend his majesty like this.
Emperor Qian Hua will never eat hard food, but he may eat soft food.
An afternoon of fun for both host and guest.
When Ling Chan left the palace, he happened to meet Emperor Qianhua standing in the octagonal pavilion in the imperial garden, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance.
The setting sun is bright, covering the emperor in a robe of light, dazzling.
Ling Chan saluted from a distance, and then wanted to take a detour, but was invited over by the eunuch.
Emperor Qianhua asked calmly: "Do you really like Prince An?"
Lingchan blinked, her dark brown pupils were like melted honey in the sunlight, sweet and sticky, "I like it."
She said: "I was not sincere to His Highness Prince An, but His Highness treated me wholeheartedly... He said he would come back and marry me when he achieved military success. I have been waiting for him."
"Do you think he loves you?" Emperor Qian Hua seemed to chuckle. He turned around with his back to the light. The thick black shadow obscured all the expressions on his face, and only the thin and red corners of his lips could be seen. Pick it lightly, like a knife that kills people without showing blood.
"We are in love." Lingchan blushed, her voice small and firm.
"this is for you."
Emperor Qianhua stretched out his hand, and in his separated palm lay a crystal clear rabbit head. The gap at the neck was uneven, as if someone had broken it violently, separating the head and body.
Lingchan took it hesitantly.
Emperor Qianhua retracted his hand and strode away. The moment he passed by, he dropped a cold word, "If you regret it, come to me with your head."
The next day, the imperial edict granting marriage came down, and Chan became Tantai's unmarried wife. The wedding was scheduled for April of the next year.
Learning the rules, embroidering the wedding dress, preparing the dowry... Ling Chan's time was very tight. Mrs. Fu loved her and gave her the last night to rest well and enjoy the leisure of being a girl.
Lingchan sat in front of the dressing mirror, admiring her beauty in the bronze mirror. Guanqin was behind her, combing her smooth black hair with a sandalwood comb.
The window beside me rang twice.
Guan Qin said amusedly: "The second young master is here again? Why are they so frequent recently?"
She opened the window and saw that it was Fu Wenzhang.
Fu Wenzhang's black hair was disheveled, and he was randomly wearing a dark blue robe. The collar was not straightened, exposing a large amount of chest underneath.
Lingchan turned her head and stopped looking at him, and hesitated: "Brother? Your clothes???"
Fu Wenzhang frowned, watching the girl's slender neck slowly turn red in the window... He turned around and suddenly felt his throat was a little itchy.
Fu Wenzhang stretched out his hand impatiently, grabbed his collar, covered the well-defined muscles on his chest, and said quickly: "Why is Fu Wenci so crazy that he invited the prince to his home?"
"Today, His Majesty has granted you a marriage to His Royal Highness Prince An... The prince has come to our house. He doesn't know what kind of monster he is going to do. You should be careful. Turn off the lights and go to bed early. Arrange a few more people to watch over you."
Lingchan turned around in surprise, his long eyelashes trembled, and said: "...let him come to me, brother."
"Some things should be explained face to face... It's not that I failed him, there's nothing I dare not face."
