Chapter 34
Accompanied by Ning Yuezhao's shout, the palace people waiting outside filed in one after another.

"Bring water!" The tears in the corners of Ning Yuezhao's eyes were still wet, and joy was already showing on his lips.

The palace people were also very happy to see the queen wake up early.

Ning Yuezhao took the water glass from the hand of the maid, scooped up the water with a small spoon, and fed it to the queen bit by bit.

The queen was still very weak, her dry throat was moistened with clear water, and she could finally make some voices, "Don't... worry about me... life and death... life, don't... blame others..."

It turned out that although the Queen was in a coma, she knew exactly what happened during the period.

Ning Yuezhao nodded, "Emperor Mother, I promise you, but you must also get better!"

The queen showed a forced smile and shook her head, "Silly boy..."

Ning Yuezhao handed the empty cup to the maid, and said willfully: "My son is stupid, as long as you can get better."

The queen looked at Jiang Nian next to her, raised her hand with difficulty, and patted her head, "I...the only thing I can't rest assured about...is you..." At this point, she paused, and looked at Jiang Nian's face. Fang Fang glanced, "But now...with Jiang Nian here, I can rest assured...You guys have to be good..."

Ning Yuezhao grabbed the Queen's hand, choked with sobs and said, "We will, my son... My son will issue an edict immediately to advance the wedding date!"

The queen smiled gratifiedly, did not speak, but wiped Ning Yuezhao's tears hard, and Ning Yuezhao grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

Shaking her head helplessly, the queen looked at Jiang Nian and stretched out her other hand towards him.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian took the initiative to pass his hand over.

The empress folded her hands together and solemnly said: "You must be of one heart and one mind, and support each other..."

Jiang Nian's hand was on Ning Yuezhao's, and he could easily feel the boneless softness under his palm. Without hesitation, he held that hand tightly.

Ning Yuezhao also noticed the hand that tightened suddenly, and it was difficult for her to withdraw it due to the empress' burning gaze.

Seeing the two of them like this, the empress smiled in relief, feeling that she had no regrets in this life.

The palace people in Shenglong Hall, seeing this scene, also secretly wiped their tears with their sleeves.

That night, Ning Yuezhao wrote the imperial edict with her own hand, and when she finished writing the last word, her eyes felt moist.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, picked up the big seal, and covered it heavily.

Her marriage to Jiang Nian was brought forward ten days later.

Because the officials from the Ministry of Rituals had already prepared the auspicious wedding dress, the dress that belonged to her had already been sent to the Fairview Palace, but she never tried it on.

After the wedding date is finalized, it's time for the wedding ceremony.Because time is tight, I try to be as simple as possible.

But even so, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are still too busy.

Just when the crowd was so busy waiting, the empress summoned Jiang Nian into the palace.

On this day, the queen woke up in a much better spirit, and saw that the sun was shining outside the window again, which was a rare fine weather.

Ning Yuezhao ordered someone to prepare a wheelchair so that the queen could go around the imperial garden.

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian also had a little "unhappiness" about who should push the queen.

"I'm a man, so I should naturally do this kind of hard work." Jiang Nian said.

But Ning Yuezhao was not to be outdone, "So what about a man, I am my mother's daughter, I push her as a matter of course. Besides, I am not the kind of weak woman who can't push a wheelchair."

In the end, she didn't wait for Jiang Nian to speak again, and directly pushed the queen to the imperial garden.

Looking at her back, Jiang Nian smiled and followed her slowly, walking side by side with her.

It is already midsummer at this time, and the lotus in Taiye Pool has entered the blooming period.

In view of the bad memories brought by Bing Tilian before, the three of them automatically chose to avoid this area.

Ning Yuezhao pushed the empress towards the Ziwei Garden. There were few flowers in summer, but the Ziwei flowers were in full bloom.

Midsummer green covers the eyes, and the house is full of bonuses.

Walking in the sea of ​​red, white or purple flowers, there are piles of beautiful flowers and fragrant fragrance, completely forgetting the sorrows of the world.

The palace people had already laid wooden boards on the stone steps of the gazebo, and Ning Yuezhao pushed the wheelchair onto the gazebo without much effort.

This pavilion is built on a slightly higher ground in the Ziwei Garden. Looking far away, there is a sea of ​​flowers, coupled with the rockery corridor in the garden, it is indescribably pleasing to the eye.

Ning Yuezhao parked the wheelchair, and carefully helped the queen tuck the thin blanket on her lap.

The empress lovingly pinned a strand of hair behind her ears, and said with a smile: "How time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, my Azhao is already a big girl."

Ning Yuezhao smiled, took the teacup from the maid, and handed it to the queen.

Because the queen is ill, it is not suitable to drink tea, and the cup is filled with warm water.

Looking at the scene where their mother and daughter were cuddling each other, Jiang Nian suddenly felt moved and suggested, "Your Majesty, how about I make a picture for you and the princess?"

When the empress heard the words, she immediately responded, "Very good. Come here, and fetch pens and ink."

Ning Yuezhao knew that he was good at Danqing, as he could see from the previous Bingdi Liantu, so she acquiesced without saying a word.

Soon, the palace people set up a long table in the pavilion, and arranged the pens, inks, papers and inkstones and various paints in sequence.

Jiang Nian half-rolled up his wide sleeves, fixed them, and spread out the rice paper with a paperweight.

He was not in a hurry to write, but closed his eyes gently.

Ning Yuezhao frowned impatiently and said, "What are you doing?"

Who draws with their eyes closed?The palace people who were waiting on the side also looked at the number one scholar curiously.

Jiang Nian still closed his eyes, raised an index finger on his left hand, and made a silent movement, "Don't make noise."

The queen smiled indifferently, and pulled Ning Yuezhao's sleeve, "Don't worry, we've all seen Jiang Nian's painting skills, I guess he probably has some unique painting skills to display."

Jiang Nian opened his eyes suddenly, his black jade-like pupils were full of color, and said with a smile: "I don't have any unique secret skills. I just sketched the demeanor of your majesty and the princess in my heart. The most important thing is to draw characters vividly, so you don't have to stick to it." Stay still, be casual."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Nian picked up his pen and ink, as if there was spirit in his pen.

Ning Yuezhao looked at his focused expression, and a feeling of peace of mind arose spontaneously.

At this time, Jiang Nian just looked up at her, and their eyes met.

Jiang Nian smiled and continued to paint with his head down.

On the contrary, Ning Yuezhao felt a little embarrassed, so she could only look at the sea of ​​flowers outside the pavilion and divert her gaze.

Their little actions fell into the Queen's eyes, and she smiled softly, full of relief.

About an hour later, Jiang Nian put down his pen and breathed a sigh of relief.

Two palace men stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, picked up the painting, and showed it to the empress.

The queen in the painting was dressed in black uniforms and a tortoiseshell hairpin, with a dignified expression and no trace of illness.The princess in a red palace dress is snuggling on the queen's lap.There was a loving smile on the queen's dignified and majestic face, one hand was gently stroking Ning Yuezhao's temples, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

The queen looked at the painting, couldn't help but caressed her cheek, and asked in a daze, "Is this me?"

Jiang Nian bowed slightly, and said, "In my heart, this is the image of His Majesty."

The empress paused, then sighed: "If it was a few years ago, maybe she still had the charm, as for now..."

After a pause, she continued: "Forget it, you must always leave a good image, otherwise it would be too tortured to face the haggard portrait every day."

On the whole, the empress was very satisfied with Jiang Nian's paintings.

Ning Yuezhao was a little displeased, but seeing that the queen was so excited, she was too embarrassed to pour cold water on her, so she kept quiet.She slandered in her heart: "This Jiang Nian is clearly presumptuous in his paintings. Her pretty face and shy expression in the paintings are not in line with her image of a wise and mighty empress dowager at all!"

The empress happily ordered the painting to be framed, and Ning Yuezhao silently vomited blood.

After coming out for a long time, the queen's body was also tired, so Ning Yuezhao sent her back to the Dragon Palace.

After taking the medicine, the queen took a rest.

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian walked out of Rising Dragon Hall side by side. Compared with Jiang Nian's gentle and smiling expression, Ning Yuezhao's expression could be described as dark as the wind and rain.

Jiang Nian was going out of the palace, and Ning Yuezhao was going back to Jinxiu Palace. The two walked together for a while.

"What did you mean just now?" Ning Yuezhao asked with a sullen face.

"What?" Jiang Nian was confused by her question for no reason.

"Just, yes, just, just, that, picture, picture!" Ning Yuezhao gritted her teeth and said every word.

Only then did Jiang Nian suddenly realize, and then he smiled and said, "What's wrong with the painting? Your Majesty praised me for a good painting!"

It's okay not to mention the queen, but Ning Yuezhao became even more angry when she mentioned it, she said angrily: "What kind of broken painting do you paint me like that!"

"What does that look like?" Jiang Nian looked at her pretending to be suspicious, and said clearly, "Isn't that what you look like now?"

Seven points pretty, three points delicate.The halo of the crown princess on her head makes many people forget that she is actually just a 16-year-old girl.

No matter what, when she faced him, she was no longer that cold and tit-for-tat look.

Ning Yuezhao was so angry that she simply stopped talking to him, feeling that the more she cared about him, the closer she was to the charming image in the painting.

"Angry?" Seeing her bowing her head and walking silently, Jiang Nian approached her and asked.

"No." Ning Yuezhao didn't even give him a glimpse, and strode forward directly, getting on his own chariot.

Watching Yi Ren drift away, Jiang Nian touched his nose.

He still has a long way to go to win her heart.

After returning to her own Jinxiu Palace and taking a sip of the chrysanthemum Pu'er tea offered by the maid, Ning Yuezhao felt that the gloom in her chest had dissipated a lot.

At this time, she suddenly remembered that Zuo Ming had handed her a booklet a few days ago, but at that time the Empress suddenly fell ill, and she walked away without looking at it.

So, she came to the study.

The booklet was still thrown in the same place, if the study room was not cleaned by palace servants every day, it would have accumulated a layer of dust.

After flipping through the contents, Ning Yuezhao slapped the book on the table heavily!

 Sorry for the late update today.
