Shen Dingzhu's life gradually became peaceful and happy. Xiao Langyan continued to pour out his love for her. Everyone in the world envied Queen Shen when they mentioned her.
She has become a legend among others.
The most beautiful woman in the capital, she almost became a military prostitute because of her family's crimes, but she never expected to meet the husband who would protect her throughout her life, and this husband was the most noble man in the world.
No matter how many people are envious, it is too late.
Suddenly, there were several distant relatives who could not be named, and they came to the capital to establish relations with the Shen family.
Xiao Langyan was personally involved in government affairs, but he still took some time every day to teach his children, and stayed with Shen Dingzhu the rest of the time.
Sometimes he went to court and had to go to the imperial study, but he calculated that Shen Dingzhu would wake up and changed his route to Fengyi Palace to see her.
Occasionally, when he visited the garden with his ministers and saw gorgeous flowers blooming on the branches in spring, he would break them off with his own hands and bring them to Fengyi Palace to show her.
He went out incognito several times for three days planned by the Ministry of Rites, but he wanted to come back within the second day.
It seemed that wherever Shen Dingzhu was, his heart was there.
On this day, the sky was dark and there was a heavy spring rain. Xiao Langyan specially gave his ministers a day off to take a bath. He also took a day off to accompany Shen Dingzhu.
The emperor took his queen to the Yuheng Palace where his mother, Queen Mother Su Mu, lived during her lifetime.
"I originally wanted you to live here after entering the palace, but this place is far away from the Qianyuan Palace. Now I have an idea to ask the craftsmen to change it and give it to Chengcheng as a bedroom."
Xiao Langyan held Shen Dingzhu's hand and sat in the bright and clean hall.
The two of them wore bright yellow robes by coincidence. Shen Dingzhu was dignified and graceful. When she leaned in his arms, she looked very beautiful and lovely. She still had the coquettishness of a little daughter when she was pampered.
"Is it inappropriate for Chengcheng to live alone in such a big palace?"
"I only have a daughter like her, what's wrong with that? If you give birth to another little daughter for me, I will open up a Yaoguang Palace behind Yuheng Palace so that the two sisters can be together."
Xiao Langyan said, a pair of thin eyes under his sword-shaped brows gleaming with a smile.
When Shen Dingzhu mentioned the child, he felt extremely happy.
She thought about how Xiao Langyan had made her more and more excited these nights. Shen Dingzhu's cheeks turned red as she couldn't get enough.
The beauty lowered her head slightly, her pink-white neck was alluring, and a pair of topaz on her earlobes swayed as she wished, looking faintly charming.
Xiao Langyan loved her almost to the core. He liked everything he saw about her, so he reached out to play with her earrings, thinking that he would give her more beautiful jewelry and clothes.
He pulled Shen Dingzhu, and the two stood side by side in front of the window. Xiao Langyan pointed to an open space in the yard.
"When my mother was alive, there was a big tree here. Later, when the tree died, it was moved away. When Chengcheng moves in, I will plant a plane tree. What other flowers you like, let the craftsmen plant them on both sides of the road."
Shen Dingzhu replied tepidly: "Everything arranged by the emperor is fine."
Xiao Langyan lowered his dark eyes, glanced at her twice, and suddenly asked: "Why do I think you don't like Yuheng Palace very much?"
When he brought her here for the first time, Xiao Langyan still remembered that when she saw Yuheng Palace, there was only a moment of shock and sadness in her eyes. Although it was fleeting, he still saw it.
Shen Dingzhu pursed her red lips, her white face drooped slightly, and there was also a hint of sadness.
The rain that came with the wind touched her black temple hair, making her drooping eyebrows look delicate and beautiful, but like sad peonies.
Xiao Langyan stretched out his big palm, lovingly scraped the rain off her temples, and pulled her in front of him. He leaned his back against the window to block the rain and wind for her.
"What's wrong, tell me." Xiao Langyan asked patiently, his low voice was very pleasant.
He thought of something, his eyes were as cold as ice: "Did you have those dreams where you were bullied by me here?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Langyan understood so quickly. Shen Dingzhu felt bitter and couldn't help laughing.
She didn't hide it anymore and nodded gently: "Yes."
Shen Dingzhu raised her head slightly and looked at the real dragon pattern soaring into the clouds embroidered on his chest. It was so lifelike and its fierce eyes were slightly glaring, which made her vaguely recall the bitter days when she lived here in her previous life.
As soon as she entered the palace from the palace, she was arranged to live in Yuheng Palace by Xiao Langyan. However, during the four years she lived here, she experienced all kinds of sorrows.
I still remember that it was such a gloomy and rainy day. Fu Yunqiu came to the door with his palace maid, saying that there was news from outside the capital that her father fell off a cliff and died many days ago. His bones were parked in Mobei, and no one was collecting his body.
At that time, she was already quite favored by Xiao Langyan, and he seemed to indulge her in every way. However, she didn't expect that when Shen Dingzhu asked Xiao Langyan about this matter, he turned cold and said, Tell her not to ask any more questions.
Shen Dingzhu was disheartened and fell on the slippery stone slabs on the way out of the imperial study.
At that time, she had forgotten what pain was, and fell to the ground, a little dazed, because all her family members died one after another, and her father also died under the cold cliff.
Shen Dingzhu hated herself, so-called seeking favor and seeking life for her family, but in the end, no one was saved.
Until the palace attendant’s scream pierced his ears: “Mother, you are bleeding!”
Only then did she see the blood flowing out from under her skirt. The palace people rushed her back to the palace in a panic. The imperial doctor and Xiao Langyan arrived almost at the same time.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. The dragon fetus was not saved, and the queen refused to take the medicine."
After the imperial doctor finished speaking, Shen Dingzhu was pulled up from the bed by Xiao Langyan.
She still remembered his cold, extremely angry eyes, full of rage.
"Why are you refusing to protect the fetus? Are you punishing me or yourself?"
Later, Xiao Langyan was angry with her and left. Shen Dingzhu was lying on the bed, looking at the roof of Yuheng Palace, with endless tears.
The memory slowly returned to the bottom of her heart. Shen Dingzhu raised her eyes and looked at the emperor who was looking at her with deep concern.
Xiao Langyan fell in love with her, so he stopped hurting her like that.
But the shadow of her past life, like a nightmare, tightly shrouded her heart.
When Shen Dingzhu smiled and told Xiao Langyan about losing a child for the first time in his previous life, his thin lips gradually pursed into a line.
There was also a bit of coldness in those dark and cold eyes.
"I really didn't care about your life or death after you had a miscarriage, and why did you go rowing with Fu Yunqiu?"
Shen Dingzhu nodded: "Although I later found out that Fu Yunqiu accidentally fell into the water where the emperor passed by, and the emperor rescued her, and the two of them took the same boat, but at that time..."
When she said this, her voice gradually dropped.
At that time, she was recuperating from a miscarriage and took medicine every day. Thinking of her father's death in the cold Mobei, she couldn't eat anything and shed tears all day long.
Xiao Langyan finally came to see her on the sixth day after her miscarriage, after having been with her for many days.
He wanted to care about Shen Dingzhu, but the words he spoke were so cold and stinging.
"I dote on you, but it's not love. Shen Dingzhu, the child is not yours alone. You are too presumptuous this time."
The bitterness of the past was spoken out by Shen Dingzhu in a calm tone.
Xiao Langyan, who was standing in front of her now, frowned deeply.
"The me in your dream must be a fake evil spirit." Xiao Langyan saw the gloom in her beautiful eyes and stretched out his hand to hold Shen Dingzhu tightly in his arms.
He kissed her hair lovingly, caring for her like a treasure.
"I'm sorry." He had no idea that he was treating her like this in the dream. Xiao Langyan was shocked when he heard what she said.
She didn't hate him, which was any different from a gift.
So Xiao Langyan hugged Shen Dingzhu, rubbed her ears and temples, and apologized repeatedly.
"sorry."
Shen Dingzhu felt a little relieved when he heard what he said. She had bright eyes and a beautiful smile.
"The emperor treats me very well now. I have almost forgotten all the dreams I had in the past."
Xiao Langyan didn't know what kind of nightmare she had been tortured by, so he held her even more lovingly.
"I will make up for it, including my share in the dream. I will make up for everything I owe you one by one."
Xiao Langyan has never been a person who tells lies.
The next day, Shen Dingzhu learned that Xiao Langyan had issued an imperial edict to the Palace Affairs Department, asking them to prepare for the emperor's wedding.
Three months later, he will give Shen Dingzhu a grand wedding.
To compensate, starting from the moment of marriage, give her the treatment she deserves as a legitimate wife that she has never received.
