Chapter 1080 Jingxing Queen Huo Yingzi
Chapter 1080 Jingxing Queen Huo Yingzi
The palace banquet has not yet ended, but all the ladies are already heartbroken.
One moment I was still dreaming about "Emperor Ren falling in love with me with a rash on my cheek", and the next moment I was roaring in my heart, "Is Emperor Ren blind? He actually wants to make a vulgar woman his queen?"
Indeed, in the eyes of the noble ladies in Beijing, Huo Yingzi was extremely vulgar.
All day long, he points his spear at the setting sun, his robe is stained with dust from the battle, and he even mixes with the troops, riding side by side with the generals. How can such a person be worthy of being the mother of the country?
Some ladies of the royal family cursed in their hearts that "the upper beam is crooked, and the lower beams are crooked too". Their Queen of Liang State gradually became crooked, starting with Queen Yu Zheng.
But no one dared to say this, as the "Chengyu Disaster" was still fresh in people's minds. If they were to lose their official hats and the heads of their entire clan for a moment of verbal pleasure, no one would complain about their long life.
Moreover, the laws of Liang State have not yet followed the example of Beiyi in abolishing the punishment of punishing nine generations of a clan, so who dares to act rashly?
Before the ink of the memorial from the Minister of War to relinquish his duties and return to the countryside had dried, the ceremonial procession for the new emperor's wedding had already filled the streets of Luo City.
The scene was no less spectacular than the celebration held across the strait between his mother and father.
After all, the capitals on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are full of royal relatives, so it is impossible not to be lively.
The northern wings of Xiliang celebrated together and paved the roads on both sides of Huaixing River with red silk, stretching for ten miles.
Xiliang people: "Today is our emperor's wedding!"
Beiyi people: "Today is the big day for our Weibei Marquis to get married!"
Emperor Ren of Xiliang: "I will grant amnesty to the whole world for my wedding! I will exempt taxes for one year!"
Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Wing: "My little nephew is getting married, and I will grant amnesty to the whole country! I will reduce taxes for one year!"
The people on both sides of the strait were jubilant.
On the Huaixing River, the long bridge newly built by the Ministry of Industry of the two countries is like a rainbow lying on the waves. Anyone with a pass can pass through. It is very lively for visiting relatives, sightseeing, and doing business.
After the new emperor’s wedding, Cen Yuan’s long-planned trip to “go out and see the world” finally came true.
On the eve of her departure, Shi Anxia gently stroked her daughter's hair. The candlelight cast the shadows of the mother and daughter on the screen painted with "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". "Er Er, are you really not in a hurry to get married?"
She could clearly see that Er'er had feelings for Huo Linchuan, and Huo Linchuan also had feelings for Er'er, but these two were decisive in everything they did, but they were slow when it came to relationships.
It's really worrying.
She thought that she might not be able to come back for a year or two, and if her daughter was interested, it would be better to do it first before leaving.
Before Cen Si could reply, Cen Yuan, who was just entering the palace, heard her and answered, "Why are you in such a hurry? My daughter is still young. Let's talk about it when she grows up."
Shi Anxia laughed dumbly, "Why didn't you say your son was still young?"
"As for sons, it doesn't matter if they are older or younger. As for daughters, you should be more cautious. You can wait until they are older, observe more, and test them more. Marriage is a lifelong thing."
The Emperor and Empress who were coming in to see him off: "..."
We sound very casual, as if marriage is not a lifelong thing.
Queen Jingxing Huo Yingzi laughed softly.
Emperor Ren sighed heavily, "It's no wonder that my father and mother suppress me. I heard that when I was in my mother's womb, I took away the nutrients of my two younger sisters, causing them to almost die in the womb."
"Is there still this?"
"Yes." Emperor Ren said softly, "Since I became aware of the situation, I have known that my father's mind is not on the court at all. From the moment he ascended the throne, he has been counting the days until he abdicates. I am his only son. If I don't work hard, there will be no one to protect this country, and the people will not be able to live in peace."
Empress Jingxing had lived in the border for ten years and had seen many people from the lower classes who were hungry and cold. In the morning, the whole family was together, but in the evening, only a baby was left hiding in the wood stove.
Due to the cruel reality, she did not like the prosperity of the capital, nor did she like being the queen. She felt that living in such a luxurious palace was a sin.
But now, when Empress Jingxing heard Emperor Ren’s words, her heart was deeply moved.
These words moved her more than his handsome appearance.
She couldn't help but reach out and hold Emperor Ren's hand.
Emperor Ren also held her hand and said softly, "Tomorrow, my father and mother will leave for an inspection. I will ask them to take you with them. Go out and see the beautiful mountains and rivers and broaden your horizons."
Huo Yingzi came along to see him off today, and she did have this intention. She felt that the palace was boring and uninteresting, so she also wanted to go out and take a look.
It was just that she had just gotten married and was not very familiar with her father, the emperor and her mother, so it was difficult for her to speak up. She was just thinking about asking Emperor Yangren to help her intercede, but she heard such a touching voice from the heart.
She decided instantly, "No, I... Oh, no, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay in the palace to accompany the emperor. How about this, I'll go to the Ministry of War... Well, I'll go to the Ministry of War to train the troops for you."
Emperor Ren nodded, "Also, you don't have to call yourself your concubine in private. I allow you to say 'I'."
Huo Yingzi completely put aside the idea of "going out for a walk" and happily agreed, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I understand."
She was happy, and Emperor Ren was happy too.
Emperor Ren was completely impressed by his son Er Er.
What a plan! What a prediction!
Er Er said, "If you want to keep your sister-in-law by your side, it is not enough to just treat her well. You cannot tie down such a woman. Only when you add the burden of the country and the people together, she will truly realize her own value."
When he saw Huo Yingzi's expression just now, it seemed like she was going to abandon him and run away, so he suddenly tried it.
As expected...you really need to use your brain in every aspect of life.
Emperor Ren held the Queen's hand tightly.
Catch them, don't run! They finally got married after a lot of wits and courage, so he was reluctant to let them go.
Emperor Ren thought back to their wedding night when his queen was still very naive and thought she was just a shield and that the marriage with the emperor was a fake one.
Who knew that he would make her so sore that night!
……
The next day, when Empress Jingxing sent her parents and sister away from the capital, she looked at the tall ship going farther and farther away with envy in her eyes.
At that moment, Emperor Ren felt a little guilty.
His queen should have flown as freely as a bird.
It was his selfishness that broke her wings.
She should be compensated.
Emperor Ren took out a copy of "The Northern Wing Military Department's Iron Cavalry Ball Record" from his bosom and handed it to her, "Here you go."
Huo Yingzi was overjoyed, "Can you really show this to me?"
This is the secret of the North Wing.
Emperor Ren was silent for a long time, then said solemnly, "I have Beiyi blood in my bones. Beiyi is my mother's clan and the homeland I love. With the consent of the Ministry of War, I will give the "Nine Lights Hidden Soldiers" of Xiliang to Beiyi. Beiyi will give the "Iron Cavalry Sounding Ball Record" to Xiliang in return."
These two military books are confidential to both countries and only important officials are allowed to read them.
After hearing this, Huo Yingzi was deeply moved. "Then I'll finish reading it and return it to you." After saying this, she ran away.
In fact, Emperor Ren had given many things to Huo Yingzi.
Rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all of which were worth a lot of money. But Huo Yingzi took it and asked, "Can I sell it?"
First of all, these things take up space, and we are afraid of losing them. It would be such a pity if they were lost.
Secondly, she could get a large sum of money by selling it, which she could save secretly for emergency use.
She had been hungry and cold before, and she knew that holding a pile of calligraphy and paintings and treasures would not be of much help when she was starving and cold.
At least, she could buy some decent and warm clothes for her third uncle, aunt, and cousins.
Only this time, the gift touched Huo Yingzi's heart. She forgot to eat and sleep, and even thought it was a waste of time to say a few more words to Emperor Ren.
After being alone in his empty room for several days, Emperor Ren could no longer bear it and decided to... join the polo team himself.
