The sunshine in spring is particularly bright, and the Royal Garden is ablaze with flowers, butterflies flying and bees dancing. There are still morning dewdrops on the gorgeous and delicate petals, which are crystal clear and bend the weak petals. The dewdrops slowly slide down and brush against the petals. The lines on it take away its fragrance and fall into the mud, raising a fragrance.
"Your Majesty looks particularly good today." Aunt Huang followed the Queen, and the master and servant took a leisurely walk in the imperial garden.
The empress said yes, "Maybe I don't have so many worries anymore, and my complexion has improved accordingly."
The queen's smile was as bright as a flower, and her gorgeous phoenix clothes were particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
"It's our Highness who wants to live up to his reputation." Aunt Huang said with a smile, "This can't be fake, and it can't be true. Sooner or later, the crooked evil will show its tail."
She was referring to the imperial concubine and her son. The queen nodded, "Song'er has grown up. That little lady looks good to me."
"Yes, looking at that appearance, temperament, and temper, they are a perfect match for our His Majesty. They look just like you and His Majesty back then." Aunt Huang recalled the past with a bright smile on her face, "What a couple. We have to be equal, like that noble concubine, who begs for men all day long, but in the end, men can only treat her as a toy."
"Who says it isn't?" the queen sneered. "The mud that can't be used to hold up the wall is as soft as bones. It never stands up straight and sits up straight. It's twisted all day long, like a loach."
The master and servant laughed and returned to Cining Palace facing the spring sun.
"It's almost time. Help me dress up and change clothes. I'm going to meet my future daughter-in-law."
The queen sat in front of the dowry, pointed at the pile of gold and silver jewelry and said: "Don't need any of these, keep it simple and look approachable. Don't let the little lady think I'm too big. I want to be a good mother-in-law."
Aunt Huang smiled and said yes, "My queen looks kind and kind, I believe she will fall in love with that little lady."
Wearing elegant and simple makeup, the queen wore an ordinary woman's lavender skirt. She looked energetic and kind. She looked in front of the mirror for a long time before going out uneasily.
Li Luansong had already made plans when he received the Queen's invitation. It had been a long time since he had seen his mother, so it was impossible not to be excited. But he had a mission in mind. After this trip, he was Shen Que, his mother's future daughter-in-law. He must leave a good impression on his mother. This was paving the way for his daughter-in-law.
He believed that Shen Zhen would not deliberately please anyone, but he could create the most beneficial situation for himself with everything around him, so why not do it with a little effort?
A child is better than his mother, and vice versa.
Li Luansong specially chose the venue at Zuixian Tower. From tea and refreshments to fruits, snacks, and dinner, everything is what the Queen likes to eat. Even the begonia vase placed on the long table, the burning citrus fragrance in the corner, and the gauze curtain embroidered with auspicious clouds and lotus branches are all the queen's aesthetics and preferences.
The Queen was simply stunned and asked, "Do these things the little lady likes?"
Li Luansong pretended to be relaxed and said, "I don't know what His Highness likes, so I arranged it according to my own preferences."
The queen said she liked it, "I really like it. It's just what I want. It seems like we are really destined to be together."
The title was changed, and Li Luansong lowered his head pretending to be shy.
The Queen seemed to be smacking some food and asked, "How can I decorate this restaurant? Does it mean that I know the owner of this restaurant?"
It is Li Luansong's strategy to go big when he comes out.
I saw him gently stroking the hair hanging down from his temples, and said slowly: "This is my own store, and I am the owner here, so I can dress up any way I want. Oh, by the way, I won't hide it from the queen, not only This family, this Qinglong Street, and Xuanwu Street and Baihu Street next door, except for the Suzaku Street where His Highness lives, half of which was expropriated by the royal family, the remaining half is also mine."
The queen was horrified: ...My son is so powerful.
Naturally, the person who becomes a queen does not care about other people's property. The queen said: "The little lady looks weak and delicate, but she didn't expect to be a hero among women. I'm afraid I won't be able to find another one with such intelligence and ability in this world."
Li Luansong thought to himself, right? After all, she is my queen mother, and she sees things thoroughly.
But he couldn't say that. He lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are ridiculous. There is no comparison between my daughter and your Majesty. Your Majesty is the leading woman in Daye. She accompanied your Majesty in all directions. She is virtuous and intelligent. I heard that Your Majesty He and the empress were childhood sweethearts, and they got through the most difficult days with the company of the empress. That’s why Daye can have such an enlightened and people-friendly monarch, and the people can live such a stable and comfortable life."
Look, after this call, who is not confused?
Li Luansong said: "My Majesty, you don't have to ask me to be so arrogant. Just call me Yura. It's an honor for Yura to see my beauty today. I really hope that I can be a person like your Majesty in the future, with my own preferences and independence." My personality is to do independent things and accompany my husband throughout the journey. I don’t want to be like that creeping vine, having to cling to men to survive.”
These words were sincere and consistent with Shen Que's character. Naturally, they touched the Queen's heart.
The Queen's eyes narrowed into a thin line when she smiled. The more she looked at her, the more she looked like her. The more she talked about her, the more she liked her. The cost of food and clothing, her manners and conversation, her temperament... there was really nothing that was not to her liking.
Oh, my son is so lucky, and so am I.
After eating this meal, the queen was very happy, and she was looking forward to going back to pay the betrothal gift, marry a wife, and raise grandchildren.
This step went smoothly, and the next step is the main event.
His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, plans to confess his love seriously.
Didn't he say that he wanted to give Yu Yu a surprise? Li Luansong's idea was to get up wherever he fell, lest she remember that Chun Lie was all his wretchedness and violent waves in the future.
The nice spring hunting was ruined. It doesn't matter, let's do it again. Besides, hunting on horseback is definitely the general's strong point. After all, she has never seen his heroic appearance, so it must be arranged.
Li Luansong, it’s time to show your charm!
The sun was just right, and the location was chosen in a hunting ground in the suburbs. There were only some small animals here, but it was enough. He didn't want to take her on an adventure, so he rode a horse on the hunting ground, keeping within her sight. , Don’t make her nervous, don’t make her afraid, let her always see him.
Shen Que was sitting outside the tent, with the warm sunshine above her head, a soft blanket covering her body, and the hot milk Li Luansong prepared for her. It was a relaxing day.
She followed him closely and saw a hare on his left, a deer on his right, as well as pheasants and wild ducks...
This was the first time that Shen Que watched him riding a horse so seriously. Although she was a girl, her unstoppable heroic appearance could not be hidden. His face was filled with confidence, and you could see the heroic spirit in his bones and the grace of a noble man.
If we seriously talk about appearance and ability, I'm afraid no one in Daye can even compare to him.
Shen Que wondered whether she liked him at all. In fact, she did, but she felt that the two of them were completely different. She was born as a merchant, so it was not easy for her to marry into an official family, let alone become a prince's concubine.
She smiled sarcastically, and her face started to heat up as she thought about it.
In the afternoon, the sun is high in the sky, revealing everything before your eyes.
Li Luansong took the rich prey and started roasting it.
Shen Que wondered: "Your Highness, can you still cook food?"
Li Luansong hummed, "When marching and fighting, we often fight in the field. Baking and eating is a necessary skill. Over time, we have developed a good skill."
He said and handed her a pheasant leg, "Try it."
Charred on the outside and tender on the inside, grilled until sizzling with oil, and smelling fragrant. Shen was not pretentious, showing off two large chicken drumsticks in one go, and his mouth was full of oil.
Li Luansong looked at her, raised his head and took a big sip of wine, "It's best if you like it. I'll cook it for you often in the future."
Shen Que was a little embarrassed and advised: "Your Highness, you should drink less, your body can't hold it anymore."
She glanced at him and asked, "Your Highness brought me here because you have something to say."
Li Luansong used wine to hide his face and said: "Then I won't beat around the bush, Yuanyuan, I like you, what about you, do you also like me?"
Shen Que didn't know how to answer, his face turned red to silk, his hands were pinched together, and his palms were sweaty.
He said: "If you hadn't been injured and disappeared this time, I really don't know that I care about you so much. I am sincere to you. It's not because we are interchangeable and I have no choice but to marry you. I am really worried." You, it makes me sad to see you hurt and bullied, but I am also happy to see you happy. I have never been like this before. I will never give up on you. If you don’t agree to me now, then I will wait. Wait until you say yes.”
In short, he didn't give her any room to answer and talked to himself, locking the relationship between the two of them.
"But, we are not compatible."
"What does it mean to be compatible?" Li Luansong asked her, "Is it status or status? Do you really think so? I think that being in love, having the same temperament, and having the same mind is what is called matching. Family background and status are just appearances. I don't care about those. I My father, emperor and mother will not care about that either."
"But this is unfair to His Highness." Shen Que said, "I am a person who has been married once."
Her voice was very low, trying to suppress the fear and uneasiness in her heart, and her voice sounded a little trembling.
However, that person accurately grasped the key points of her words.
"So, what you mean is that you also like me, right? It's because of these messy worldly things that you refuse to agree to me."
He looked happy, like a child who got his favorite toy.
"Your Highness, you have to focus on the key points." Shen Que reminded him.
Li Luansong said: "What I pay attention to is the key point. It was my fault last time and I was rude to you. I apologize. I am not a casual person. I only lost my temper when I couldn't help myself. I will slowly make up for it in the future."
She must be calm at this time. Since she is talking to herself, there is no room for her to refute. She must be able to control the situation and move the rhythm. He continued:
"Okay, I've made it clear what I need to say today. Just think about it and see. Anyway, we are destined to be a couple."
On the surface, he was calm and calm, as if he had stabilized the situation, but in fact, he was panicking inside.
"Yuanyu, please go back and miss me, don't worry." He said: "Anyway, between us, you owe me and I owe you. We must give each other an explanation, otherwise... we are not human beings, we are... Scumbag."
Shen Quexin said, it's over, after just reasoning it out, she owed him, and if she didn't give an explanation, she would become a scumbag.
This ability to blackmail people is really innate.
