Feeling the murderous aura that suddenly filled his body, Shen Dingzhu held his fingertips and smiled: "How could she be bullied so easily? The emperor loves me very much, and I have the confidence to bully her." Pretty much."
Xiao Langyan only then calmed down a bit of his anger: "I have wronged you. I will deal with her in a few days."
Shen Dingzhu knew that he had plans for Fu Yunqiu, so he stopped asking, just nodded with a smile, then glared at Shen Bi with a pair of dark and moist eyes.
"Next time you talk so quickly, I will punish you cruelly."
Shen Bi stuck out her tongue, knowing that Shen Dingzhu would not really be willing to punish her. She rolled her eyes and blurted out the words again.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Fu's maid said that she once flaunted her power and showed off that you once praised her nails for being beautiful when dyed with peony. No matter what our queen says, she won't be allowed to do it this time."
Shen Dingzhu raised his hand: "Shen Bi! Talk too much."
Shen Bi covered her head and left in a hurry. Xiu Cui chased after Shen Dingzhu for a few steps and scolded with a smile: "You girl! The queen is angry, be careful of the emperor punishing you."
Shen Dingzhu asked them to step back, and when she was pouring tea for Xiao Langyan, she saw him sitting at the table, looking at her with a pair of deep thin eyes, full of smiles.
"Why are you smiling again, Your Majesty?" He was still smiling so brightly.
"I didn't praise her."
"Of course I know that the emperor is not that kind of person." Xiao Langyan was not so meticulous.
Suddenly, he took her hand and pulled Shen Dingzhu to sit on his lap.
Xiao Langyan smiled with his sword eyebrows slightly raised, looking extraordinarily handsome: "But I like the way you eat, no matter what you grab, when you care about me so much, it's best to spend more time."
Shen Dingzhu's eyes were blank, looking at him, her palm-sized white face, with patches of blush rising on her cheeks.
She shook her head helplessly and couldn't help but laugh: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. There is no reason to be jealous. It's just that Chengcheng will enter the palace soon. She likes to eat sweet cakes made of peony nectar. Even if I don't know Fu Yunqiu, I will do it for my daughter." Let’s fight for it.”
The smile on Xiao Langyan's face fell instantly. He put his big palm on the back of Shen Dingzhu's waist and narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Aren't you jealous?"
Shen Dingzhu felt his movements, her back straightened silently, and her beautiful and flawless face became a little more irritated.
"I'm jealous." She followed his words, as if to coax him.
Xiao Langyan just accepted this trick. He didn't care about the truth or falsehood. In his eyes, Shen Dingzhu was willing to say that she cared about him. No matter how sincere her words were, he had the right to take her as serious.
Xiao Langyan took her hand and kissed the back of her hand. Then he stood up with a smile and pulled her to the table.
"It doesn't matter if Chengcheng likes peonies. I sent people to plant flowerbeds near her Fangcao Island."
Then, he pointed to the two words on the table that he had written when Shen Dingzhu didn't come back.
"I have decided on a name for my son. He will call him Xingche, which comes from 'Wherever he is able to control, he will be at his best'. What do you think?"
Shen Dingzhu's heart suddenly trembled, and he was stunned.
The origin of Xingzhe's name mentioned by Xiao Langyan is a sentence in the Heavenly Sacrifice of Emperor Jianwu when he ascended the throne, which means: As long as I reign for one day, I will carry out my rule to the end.
It was an extremely heroic and powerful statement, and Emperor Jianwu was Xiao Langyan's imperial grandfather, the old emperor who had cultivated him with great care.
The weight of Emperor Jianwu was the same as that of Xiao Langyan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, who played a decisive role in Xiao Langyan's heart.
But now, Xiao Langyan gave this name to his unborn child, and the meaning is obvious.
He wanted the son she gave birth to to be the crown prince! !
Shen Dingzhu could not recover for a long time.
Xiao Langyan had been patiently waiting for her to respond, but after waiting for a long time, he saw the water in her eyes shaking with shock.
He waved his big palm in front of her eyes: "What's wrong, are you so happy?"
Shen Dingzhu came back to her senses: "How did the emperor know it would be a boy? What if it was a daughter again?"
Xiao Langyan smiled, with a phoenix-like appearance and a dragon-like appearance, full of gentle patience.
"It's better to be a daughter. I love you three. If it's a son, it will be me and him who will protect you and Chengcheng."
After saying that, he held Shen Dingzhu's hands and looked into her eyes: "Mr. Cen told me privately that this baby is most likely to be a son. Shen Dingzhu, you are going to give birth to my first prince." .”
The existence of the child is enough to increase Shen Dingzhu's weight. What Xiao Langyan planned is being realized step by step.
It could be seen that he was in a good mood, Shen Dingzhu followed his words and said: "I like this name very much because I admire Emperor Jianwu's majestic military strategy. If the child is really a man, he will be a bit like Emperor Jianwu. Concubine That’s enough.”
Xiao Langyan smiled and took her into his arms. He lowered his eyes, his eyes were full of doting, and his voice was low and sweet: "You are so stupid, you are eight points like me, and two points, you are the best."
At night, Xiao Langyan was indeed too busy to come to have dinner with Shen Dingzhu. When it was time to go to bed, Shen Dingzhu couldn't sleep. She asked Shen Bi and Xiucui to retreat, and she walked out of a hidden grid on the Duobao shelf. Inside, take out a box.
After opening it, she looked at the red jade hairpin inside. It was the only thing that stayed with her when she was reborn, and it was also the most important item that her father asked her to keep.
My father said that before his death, Emperor Jianwu entrusted him with important secret orders and asked him to wait until the Ming Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty ascended the throne before giving the secret orders to the Ming Dynasty.
Father Shen hoped that Shen Dingzhu would hold back and observe again. However, Shen Dingzhu felt that she should give this thing to Xiao Langyan.
His kindness to her was unreserved and worthy of her handing over the secret order.
Shen Dingzhu thought about it and realized that it would be a good time for Chengcheng to be named a princess and enter the Xiao family tree, so she planned to give the secret order to Xiao Langyan on that day.
Coincidentally, on the ninth day of February, Shen Dingzhu's maternal grandfather, Duke Pingyi, brought the Su family to Beijing.
Xiao Langyan looked out for Shen Dingzhu's face and gave the Su family enough pomp. Not only did he send the Imperial Guard to escort him along the road, but he also asked two third-grade cabinet ministers to go to Guangtianmen to greet him.
The location of the Su Mansion in the capital city was excellent, close to the imperial city, and surrounded by the mansions of dignitaries. The Duke of Pingyi felt proud. When he left the capital, the Su family was already declining. He relied on his son-in-law Shen Xiang's support. Only with great power can one be granted the title of Duke.
Now, when he comes back, his granddaughter Shen Dingzhu has become the emperor's only favorite concubine! The emperor sealed the six palaces for her and refused to accept any concubines or concubines. He rewrote the history of the country for her, promoted children from poor families, and paved the way for the Shen family.
Just look at the things Xiao Langyan sent people to add to the Su Mansion. Every brick and tile seems to be full of nobility!
The days to come are bound to get better and better. Pingyi County Duke is already sixty-four this year. The journey along the way is tiring, but he is not tired.
On the contrary, not long after he put down his things, he wanted to go into the palace to pay his respects and show his goodwill to Shen Dingzhu.
The deputy of the imperial army handed over his hand: "The emperor has already given instructions in advance. The imperial concubine is currently pregnant with Liujia, and the months are getting late, so it is inconvenient to see foreigners. If the county prince wants to see him, he can naturally wait until the empress gives birth and is well taken care of. Late."
Hearing the words, the old prince nodded repeatedly: "What you are saying is that the emperor is more considerate than the old minister. He also asked this lord to express condolences to the imperial concubine on my behalf. The old minister thanked the emperor for his grace, and even remembered the imperial concubine's kindness."
The Forbidden Army nodded, and after finishing the matter, they took everyone away and evacuated.
The door of Su Mansion was closed, and a family of more than fifty people were dazzled in the big house.
Su Wenhua was already married. After she was sent back to her ancestral home in the East Palace, the Su family regarded her as a shame and took the initiative to recruit her locally. Now they have brought her to the capital together.
Looking at the gorgeous mansions around her, she felt very uncomfortable. If she hadn't been negligent and fell into Fu Yunqiu's way, she would be able to enjoy such wealth now that she was married to the prince.
Seeing her sullen face, the old prince could naturally guess what she was thinking, so he scolded her with a straight face: "Stop having those unrealistic dreams. If your cousin hadn't been so powerful, I would have let you marry the prince." , our Su family is going to be doomed too!"
"Hurry up and freshen up, and go with your mother to contact old friends in Beijing. We have just returned to Beijing and need to take care of our connections. You should be sensible and be like your cousin. Don't let me worry!"
Su Wenhua heard that the old princess kept protecting Shen Dingzhu. She gritted her teeth and was dissatisfied, and finally curled her lips: "Grandpa, don't be too happy too early. The emperor doesn't know about it yet. If he does, do you think the emperor will still do it?" Will you pamper your cousin?"
After saying that, she stomped away. The angry old county man raised his white beard and smacked his heart: "You have raised me so well and so well, and you have created a bad thing. If you dare to say these words again, your cousin's Qingyun Road will be cut off." , see if I will break your legs!"
The Su family returned to Beijing in a high-profile manner. The old prince opened the door to recruit old friends, and the emperor's rewards were sent batch after batch from the palace. For a time, the Su family's fortunes were rising, and the Su family was in the limelight.
On the other hand, Shen Dingzhu's biological parents lived quietly behind closed doors. The old county man sent people several times to invite Shen Dingzhu's mother to return to the Su Mansion for a reunion, but Shen's mother found reasons to refuse.
The tenth day of February.
Su Xincheng entered the palace and was canonized as a princess.
Shen Dingzhu got up early in the morning, dressed up, and was very happy about it.
Shen Bi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is really a blessed person. The Emperor has only been on the throne for less than five years and has only two children, both of whom are born to you. In the future, your Majesty may want to..."
"Shen Bi!" Shen Dingzhu stopped her in time and looked at the pretty face in the mirror, "Today Chengcheng recognized his ancestors at the Clerk of Ceremonies. I heard that the emperor is also going, why don't you go and replace me?" I would like to ask when the emperor will pass by so that I can accompany him."
Shen Bi hurried away and came back after a while, saying: "My servant did not see the emperor, but Eunuch Xu said that the empress can go there first. Don't waste the auspicious time. The emperor is receiving foreign ministers. Come when you are done."
Shen Dingzhu nodded: "Okay, let's go first."
Xiao Langyan held her hand last night and told her to wait for him. He would pick her up and take her to the ceremonial office, but now he couldn't come as promised. He was probably caught up in government affairs.
