Chapter 20

His Majesty the Emperor is currently under the quilt and refuses to see anyone.

Fugui had already been repelled to the outside of the hall. In the huge bedroom, he was lying on the dragon bed alone, hugging the quilt and mourning.

It's so sad, how could you treat him like this?He is the emperor, how could he be reduced to the point of being robbed of the queen by his uncle?

God, I'm ashamed to see people, don't live, don't live, don't live...

While paddling his legs under the quilt, a dull voice suddenly came from behind his head: "Your Majesty..."

The little emperor's back stiffened, he turned his head away, and sat up in a jerk, "Wen Aiqing, when did you come in?"

Wen Su twitched the corners of her mouth and raised her hand to salute, "Your Majesty is relieved just now that I came in."

The emperor's face turned dark. Didn't these words clearly mean that she saw everything?

"Then how did you get in?" The emperor planned to clean up Fugui later.

Wen Su saw the annoyance in his expression, and hurriedly said: "The minister was anxious to tell His Majesty the solution, so he rushed in regardless. Eunuch Fugui never stopped the minister, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." .”

"You said there is a way?" Upon hearing this, the emperor naturally no longer cared about her crime of trespassing, immediately lifted the quilt and sat upright, raised his right hand towards her, "Ai Qing said quickly. "

Just now she looked dejected, but now she suddenly stared at her with burning eyes, the quick change really made Wen Su feel funny.But thinking that there was still business to do, she hurriedly looked serious again, raised her hand and saluted and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, do you have any interest in Queen Qinghai?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, his face was suddenly stained with two blushes, "Wen Aiqing, why do you ask such a question?"

"If it's unintentional, there's no need to say what the subordinates have to say."

The emperor's lips parted and his eyes began to flicker.

"That's intentional." Wen Su glanced at him and made a final decision.

The little emperor lowered his head, his ears burning hot.He hadn't had much contact with women since he was a child. Apart from his arrogance, the queen of Qinghai Kingdom was unparalleled in beauty. It was normal for him to be happy, but he still felt very uncomfortable when asked so directly.

Seeing his appearance, Wen Su didn't hold back any more, took a step closer, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty thinks that His Majesty must not lose to the Regent!"

The emperor raised his head abruptly, with a look of astonishment on his face, "What did you say?"

Wen Su's right hand slowly clenched into a fist in front of him, impassioned: "What I mean is that Your Majesty should take the Queen from the Regent!"

"Seize?" His Majesty looked bewildered, "How to seize?"

"Use your aura!" Wen Su stared at him closely, with a stern expression on his face, "Your Majesty must remember that you are the master of Daliang, the emperor of the real dragon, and the emperor of ninety-five. Who can compare with you? What do you want?" Show your courage and have the confidence to capture the Queen!"

The emperor stared at her dumbfounded. After a while, he suddenly jumped off the bed, nodded with his fists clenched, "That's right, I am the Son of Heaven, why would I lose to the Prince Regent? I don't believe in this evil, it's just a Girl, can you still escape from my palm?"

"Your Majesty is wise, that's right." Wen Su gave encouragement in a timely manner.

"Okay!" The emperor clapped his hands vigorously, but was stunned for a while, and raised his eyes to look at Wen Su, "Then what exactly will I do?"

"..."

Wen Su sent someone to the post house to invite the Queen of Qinghai Kingdom, without saying anything else, only that His Majesty the Emperor specially set up a palace in the palace as a residence for her, and asked her to move here immediately. Don't be afraid of running out of opportunities.

The emperor also thought it was a good idea. Putting her in the post house was too free, and he would go to the regent every now and then, no wonder something would happen!
It's a pity that the idea was too good, Her Majesty the Queen didn't accept this at all, and directly declined, so the emperor waited for a long time without even seeing him.

Wen Su felt that this was not a problem, the more it dragged on, the more troublesome it would be.

It was almost evening, and she hadn't gone back yet. She kept thinking about it, and in the end, she had no choice but to borrow a pen and ink letter from the emperor, and asked Fugui to deliver it to the regent. He teaches.

The matter of feelings is really clear to the authorities, and Wen Su is much more transparent about the emperor's affairs than she is.

At this time, she was instilling an idea in His Majesty, that is, she must win the Queen of Qinghai Kingdom once and for all!

Not long after, the regent who received the letter rushed over in person. When he arrived at the bedroom, Wen Su had just finished teaching. He looked puzzled, her face was flushed, and the two looked at each other, suddenly feeling strange.

"Why did Wen Qing suddenly enter the palace?" Xiao Zheng asked, his head turned to where the little emperor was sitting, and he understood a little bit when he met his resentful and angry eyes.

"Your Majesty will explain to the prince later, but I don't know if the prince has invited Her Majesty the Queen into the palace?"

"Of course, you said in your letter that the king expected something to happen, so he immediately sent someone to invite you."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Fugui's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, the palace servants have come to report that the Queen of Qinghai Kingdom has entered the palace."

The emperor glanced at Xiao Zheng coldly, blood dripping from his heart, he called out with a word, and he was indeed more entertaining than the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go." Seeing his sad face, Wen Su hurriedly reminded him.

"Oh……"

The emperor stood up with his head drooping, straightened his clothes and crown absently, and walked out with his head drooped.Everything was normal, but his expression suddenly changed the moment he passed by the regent.

As if deliberately trying to provoke him, Xiao Zheng looked at him sideways, with a smile on his lips, a trace of mockery, and suspicion in his eyes.

So the emperor was stimulated by this look, he clenched his fists and snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and strode out.

I don't believe that I can't beat you this time, you just wait for me!

Wen Su was stunned by the appearance of the uncle and nephew in front of him, and hurriedly followed after realizing it.

She will keep a close eye on His Majesty's behavior in order to propose amendments in time.

Xiao Zheng, who was behind him, guessed that she must have had some other idea, shook his head and smiled, and followed her up.

Half of the setting sun is hidden, the sky is getting dark, and the snow on the branches can still be seen from time to time in the imperial garden, which is cool and quiet.

The stacked rockery stands majestic and quiet, and His Majesty the Emperor stands silently under it, staring at the girl in front of him.

This is the first time they have had such close contact. Dongde Yusong is older than him, and he has already shown a girly and charming figure, and he is also a little taller than him, so His Majesty the Emperor stepped back a little later and stood up. Finally, the stone had the aura that Wen Su spoke of.

"Why are you here?" Dongde Yusong was obviously a little impatient, and he didn't salute, treating the emperor as if he were a man from his own country.

The emperor naturally wanted to remind her of the fact that this is a large beam, so he raised his head and said, "This is my palace, so I should be here, but you, why did you come here?"

"What?" Dongde Yusong frowned, gave him a gouging look, turned and left.She still has to go to the regent, so she doesn't have to waste time with him.

However, before she could take any steps, a hand was already blocking her in time.

"How dare you leave before I speak?"

Dongde Yusong raised his eyebrows, "What is His Majesty the Emperor doing?"

"Do nothing, just won't let you go, how about it?"

Hiding behind the rockery, Wen Su, who only showed a pair of eyes, looked excited, Your Majesty, keep going!

Xiao Zheng, who was squatting with her, was puzzled, what's so exciting about this?
"Dongde Yusong, I ask you, do you really want to marry Daliang?" After a start, the next step will be much easier, His Majesty the Emperor is already used to this kind of posturing.

"Yes, Gu does intend to marry Liang Guo, but not with you, Your Majesty, so you don't need to worry about it."

Facing the arrogance of His Majesty East Germany, the emperor finally broke out, "Presumptuous, you can only marry me if you want to marry!"

shhhhh--

The person in front of him and the two people behind the rockery were all shocked.

Wen Su is even more excited, His Majesty, your acting skills are really good, keep going, look after you!
"You, what are you talking about?" Dongde Yusong couldn't recover. When did the little emperor, whom she always regarded as a coward, become so strong?

"I said, if you want to marry, you can only marry me. Don't forget, you are the king of a country, and only the title of empress of the empire is worthy of you. Are you willing to have the title of princess?"

The emperor snorted coldly, stepped down from the stone with a straight face, and approached her, "I am the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and everything in the world belongs to me alone. Now I just want you to say a word. If you nod your head and agree to marry me, If not..." He squinted his eyes, his voice became colder: "You don't want to get anything, including my uncle!"

Dongde Yusong opened his mouth wide, and for the first time in his life, he was so shocked that he had no image.

Could it be that his previous appearance was all pretended?Otherwise, how could it change so quickly?
Still in deep thought, his wrist had already been grabbed by him. It seemed to tremble slightly at first, but it disappeared after a moment, as if the trembling just now was her own hallucination.

"Yu Song, if you agree to me, I will give you everything, even this country, I will not take it seriously."

The original strength suddenly turned into gentleness, the little boy's eyes were full of stubbornness and tenderness, but more of it was the purity unique to this age.He is still too young, so he doesn't know what love is, but it is this kind of youthfulness that makes people feel irresistible.

Dongde Yusong is more mature than the little emperor regardless of age and mentality, so she can better understand the meaning of the emperor's transformation.

Saying this sentence, the previous dominance became a false threat to her, and the purpose was just to keep her.

Was she so important to him?

At the same time as this question came up, the little queen couldn't help but feel a little joy in her heart. The emperor of a country values ​​himself more than the country. Is there anything sweeter than this?

At this moment, looking at the young man's eyes again, compared with the deep and indifferent gaze of that man, he felt that his previous decision was a bit hasty.

She sighed, smiled self-deprecatingly, and shook the emperor's hand back, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, I have just made a note of it, and I will definitely consider it carefully and give Your Majesty an answer."

"No!" The emperor returned to a strong state and clasped her wrist tightly, "You give me an answer now!"

Dongde Yusong glanced at his stubborn face, frowned and said nothing.

Time passed bit by bit, the two people behind the rockery and His Majesty the Emperor both looked calm and nervous.

"Promise or not?"

"Gu still needs to think about it."

"Promise or not?"

"Gu... need to... think about it."

"Promise or...promise?"

"Lone... huh?"

Dongde Yusong finally nodded in frustration until his wrist was pulled so painfully, "Okay, Gu... I just promise you first."

She is not one of those hypocritical girls from the Central Plains. As a monarch, she has always been used to doing whatever she wants.

At first, he looked down on the emperor because he was too young and cowardly, but seeing this situation now, he must not be a thing in the pool in the future.And compared to the regent, who was difficult to control, those words just now really moved her.

After all, that person would not take her so seriously.

She had a lot of thoughts here, but the emperor smiled when he got the answer, and even opened his arms to hug her.

The two people behind the rockery were determined, looked at each other with a smile, and quietly retreated...

When he was about to leave the palace gate, Wen Su felt emotional: "Your Majesty seems to be sincerely moved by the queen, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say such beautiful words, even Jiangshan would not be in his eyes, tsk tsk, what a man..."

Xiao Zheng snorted coldly, "How could he say such things as a child, but who instigated it!"

Uh... Wen Su shrank his neck, "My lord, you know, your majesty is actually very smart. If others are a little bit more intelligent, he can learn from one thing and infer other things, cough cough..."

Xiao Zheng looked at her with a smile, "Yes, this king is very clear, but Wen Qing also needs to know that being nice to you is not about saying a few nice words or really abandoning the country, but..." The voice paused, He stretched out his hand to hold her hand hanging by her side, "It's a sincere heart that counts."

Wen Su's heart trembled, and he was about to withdraw his hand, but he held it firmly, and his voice became annoyed: "Wen Su, how long are you going to hide?!"

How long are you going to hide from?

After returning to the palace, Wen Su was still thinking about this question.

She only remembered the regent's eyes, which were still calm, but they were filled with too much emotion at that time, fearing to disturb her pity, and wanting to suddenly wake her up in anger.

So Wen Su finally couldn't help but reminded: "Your Majesty, I feel that the marriage between His Majesty and the Queen has become a major event."

Once the marriage is completed, she will lose her role as a female official, and she will return to the beginning only after a suitable reason.

Xiao Zheng was startled, she had already gently pulled away from his hand, and left first.

This time, she didn't go out, and her food, clothing, housing and transportation were all taken care of by the servant girl Xi Que. She sent someone to report sick leave to the court, and she completely became a coward.

I heard that Liu Ke wanted to see her, but she refused.

King Pingyang once arrived at the door, but only sighed a few times through the door and left.Wen Su felt that he was really her close friend, and she understood her distressed mood at the moment.

As for the Prince Regent, I haven't seen him for many days, and I haven't heard any news about him.

This shrinkage continued until the Shangyuan Festival, when Her Majesty the Queen suddenly sent someone to invite her to see her.

The palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

Wen Su groomed and tidied, entered the palace with a strong spirit, and was guided by the palace staff all the way to the palace where Dongde Yusong lived. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the exotic atmosphere in the palace.

It seems His Majesty is very attentive.

There were no attendants in the hall, Wen Su walked all the way in, only heard a soft ringing of silverware, Dongde Yusong had lifted the bead curtain and walked out of the inner hall.

"See Her Majesty the Queen." Wen Su hurriedly bowed down, glanced at the Queen's attire quietly, saw that she had changed into the Central Plains costume, her complexion was rosy and radiant, and she was very pleased in her heart.

Speaking of which, the teaching and instigation to the emperor that day was actually deliberated from the character of the little queen, and it was really lucky that it worked in one blow.

Because of their young age, the relationship between the little emperor and the queen is more like friends of the same age, but it can be regarded as steadily improving.Compared with adult men and women, the relationship between you and me is less strong and more innocent, but it is more natural.Now it can be regarded as being in love with each other, and even the queen has restrained a lot of pride, which is really not easy.

"Master Wen, you don't need to be too polite. I invite you here because I have something to say."

Wen Su obediently got up, lowered her head and secretly thought about her intentions.

"Lord Wen, what His Majesty the Emperor said to Gu last time was taught by you, right?"

Eh?After thinking for a long time, she didn't expect that what she was going to say was this, Wen Su quickly raised her head, "Your Majesty, the subject didn't say anything, and those words came from His Majesty's sincerity."

The queen sneered, and she showed her beauty, "Why are you so nervous? I'm not blaming you."

She walked slowly and sat on the couch, beckoned to Wensu, pointed to a soft stool beside the couch, and signaled her to sit down and talk.

"Master Wen, it's the first time for Gu to come to Daliang. Although it's not long, it's not difficult to see the style of Daliang." She paused, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Wen Su, who was much deeper than before, "Gu saw Daliang has changed his attitude towards women, so the New Deal is just a cover, right?"

Wen Su was startled, and when she was about to speak, she raised her hand to stop her, "Don't worry, I'm not here to crusade against Liang Guofeng, I just want you to know, I know everything about Gu."

Really a great character.Wen Su pursed her lips and remained silent.

Dongde Yusong stared at the person in front of him, as if to see how long she could stay calm, but he couldn't wait for her response.Wen Su seemed to relax completely after hearing that she knew everything, without panic.

She curled her lips in frustration, and removed the queen's deep disguise, "Well, I'll just say it bluntly. Although Liang Guo is pretending to have a new deal, I don't care, because I have already decided to make it real."

"What?" Wen Su finally raised his head with surprise.

Dongde Yusong blinked at her, and became lively, "Master Wen, you should know what it means to be lonely. You have talent, so you should serve the country, right?"

Wen Su frowned and pondered the meaning of her words carefully, and understood, "Is Her Majesty worried that she will not have helpers after becoming Queen Liang?"

"Tsk tsk, why are you talking so directly?" Dongde Yusong shook his head, and then laughed again, "But it's true, that's exactly what Gu meant."

His Majesty East Germany sees the problem very far-reaching. Although the official wedding is still far away, she has already made plans for the future.

Even if the emperor's words are nice now, but she is not familiar with the place in Daliang, it is hard to guarantee that those pedantic ministers will criticize her in the future.

She needs a right-hand assistant, not a confidant, as long as she can show up when necessary and give her some support.

Wen Su is a member of the regent, she is very clear, but that day when she learned that the emperor's confession was made by Wen Su, she had this thought.

This woman is more capable than she imagined, not to mention the high position of the third rank in the imperial court, even the regent and the emperor can be affected by her, so it should not be underestimated.

However, Wen Su only sighed in response to her words: "Your Majesty's meaning is understood, but this is not something Her Majesty is willing to do. Liang's new policy is to respect Your Majesty, not all women."

She got up and respectfully bowed to her, "I have done what I have done, and I should be able to retire in a few days. I only hope that the two majesties will be united forever to resist foreign aggression and stabilize the country. "

Dongde Yusong couldn't help being stunned by her appearance, "Why doesn't Mr. Wen want to be an official?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't." Wen Su lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly.

Maybe it was because he was not used to the sluggish appearance of women, Dongde Yusong was offended all of a sudden, "This is not good, if you want to, you should try your best to do it, is it possible that Master Wen doesn't mind the fact that you are a daughter? "

Wen Su was taken aback for a moment, then looked up, and saw indignation in her eyes.

"Women have never lost to men, why is Master Wen so timid?"

Cringe?

Wen Su smiled wryly, never thought that the crux of her avoidance was exposed by the little queen.

She avoided the Prince Regent's feelings, and repeatedly hinted at him, saying that he was avoiding her vague ambitions.

In the past, she just wanted to live an ordinary life, and her father had repeatedly taught her to live a simple life, and not to force herself to be ahead in everything.But after punishing those corrupt officials, this humble and small wish has changed.

The regent's words at the riverside woke her up, and gave her a sense of accomplishment.I haven't done any major things for so many years, but now I can eliminate harm for the people.

And this ambition also reminds her that her current official position is only temporary, and without the opportunity of the New Deal, everything will turn into clouds and fly away, disappearing without a trace.

But she never thought that the regent would show affection for her during this period. The closer he was, the more she wanted to keep this ambition. At least it was an opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Apart from this official robe, she What other qualifications do you have to share a ride with him and be in the same room?
The regent's protection of her, the injury she suffered, and even his painstaking confession to please her, is not unmoved, it's not that she is unmoved, but she dare not take this step forward.

As for Liu Ke who was silently waiting behind her, she really wanted to turn around and continue to follow the previous plan, so that she could live a simple life in the future.Still couldn't make up his mind.

She didn't dare to step forward, because she couldn't be sure about the future, and she didn't want to retreat, because she was unwilling, so she had to hug her head and shrink back, as if she didn't know what to do.

But now, everything was torn away by the little queen's inadvertent words.

What really made her cringe was that she couldn't be sure which way to go.

The regent had already seen through everything, so he repeatedly reminded her that she was suitable for officialdom, not a mediocre life.

But everyone knows that officialdom is only temporary.

"What Her Majesty the Queen said is very true. The servants are indeed cowering because women cannot be officials."

Seeing Wen Su's admission, Dongde Yusong's face softened a lot, "Master Wen, I know that Liang women are like Chinese men, and it is better to be gentle and virtuous, but since you have talents, you shouldn't be buried."

She raised Wen Su's chin with her hand, forcing her to raise her face, but because she was not as tall as Wen Su, this action was a bit like a support.

"Master Wen, you have to remember that women can do no less than men, and those who are capable in official positions are the ones who are the most capable. If you are obsessed with this, you are cowardly!"

Although she was young, she sounded like an elder when she said these words, with a tone of teaching.

Wen Su's heart skipped a beat, and she actually felt ashamed.

That's right, she is too cowardly, not because she obeyed her father's teachings, nor because she was greedy for comfort, but because she was cowardly!She was used to accepting arrangements, but never thought of breaking them.

Now that you have an ambition, why can't you take the initiative to realize it?

Liang Guo used to be dominated by men, but now there is a gap, why can't it be completely opened up?
Finally raising her eyes that had been downcast, Wen Su took a step back, and bowed to Dongde Yusong, "Listening to the king's words is better than reading ten years of books. Today, Her Majesty the Queen woke up my servants, and I am very grateful. "

"Oh? So, you plan to continue to be an official?" Dongde Yusong smiled.

Wen Su nodded, with firm eyes, "I am not only planning to be an official, but also a good official."

"Very good!" Dongde Yusong clapped his hands, "Fortunately, you didn't disappoint Gu, otherwise Gu's hard work would have been in vain."

"Painful heart?" Wen Su was puzzled: "What painstaking effort?"

"It's just paving the way for Mr. Wen." Seeing that Wen Su was still at a loss, Dongde Yusong couldn't help but smile, "By the way, the regent is also happy to see it happen."

It was already late when we left the palace gate, and there were bursts of fireworks in the sky, celebrating the Shangyuan Festival.

On this day, the gates of the palace will be opened wide, allowing the palace people to go out to enjoy the lanterns, so at this time the palace becomes more and more quiet, but outside the palace is full of hustle and bustle.

Wen Su didn't take the car, and walked up the street step by step. The court clothes on her body attracted attention, but she didn't realize it.

The past life flashed quickly in my mind, and I didn't feel the difference until today.

Just because from today, she has a clear direction.

The bright lights are lit all the way along the street, the lanterns are hung, the laughter is cheerful, and the young men and women who are smiling are all in sight. It is really a good day to meet.

Wen Su's eyes lingered from the various lanterns on both sides, and stopped in front of a lantern booth surrounded by many people.

There was a person standing there, wearing only a simple green shirt and a cloak over it, because he was exposed to the cold wind, his face turned slightly blue, just like when we first met.

Her eyes flickered, and she quietly retreated to the calligraphy and painting stall on the side, and asked the stall owner in a low voice: "Can I borrow the brush and ink?"

The cold wind was blowing, she shrunk her hands and wrote the handwriting in a beautiful way. After a while, she finished writing a letter, sealed it and handed it to the stall owner, and took out some money from her arms, "Please give it to the person over there for me." Scholar in blue, thank you."

Looking in that direction again, Wen Su murmured in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Chaoqing..."

As soon as the words fell, a flash of insight suddenly flashed in her eyes, she lifted the corner of her skirt and ran back, boarded the carriage that had been following her, "Quick, go back to the palace!"

The Prince Regent's Mansion still had a row of cold and cold appearances, as if it was the same regardless of the New Year.

Wen Su jumped out of the car and ran all the way to the backyard, aiming at the West Pavilion.

Zhao Quanzheng, who was loyally guarding the door, was bored, and suddenly saw a person rushing towards him. He couldn't see clearly in the dark, and thought it was an assassin who came from somewhere. He was about to draw his sword, but he heard the person quickly say: "It's me. .”

The candles in the room were brightly lit, so the regent must be in charge of government affairs again.

Wen Su glanced at Zhao Quan, took a breath pretending to be calm, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." It was still Gujing's calm voice.

Wen Su pushed open the door, but was not in a hurry to go in. Seeing his quietly drooping eyebrows under the light, she felt a little excited in her heart.

After not seeing anything for a long time, Xiao Zheng finally raised his head, his eyes were slightly blue, it seemed that these days were very tiring.Seeing Wen Su standing by the door, his eyes flashed lightly, but he didn't say anything.

"My lord," Wen Su had no choice but to speak up, smiling coyly, "Do you want to eat Yuanxiao?"

Xiao Zheng was slightly taken aback, but only saw her slightly expectant face.

She rushed back in such a hurry, just wanting to spend a holiday with him.
