At the top position, Nangong Qing wore a nine-clawed crown on his head, a golden five-clawed dragon robe, sitting in a straight posture and smiling. Next to him is Queen Su Yi, wearing a phoenix crown, wearing a red embroidered gold dragon and phoenix pattern, a round pearl necklace the size of a pigeon's egg hangs in front of him, the smooth pearl light reflects the snow skin, dignified atmosphere.

The former queen has become the queen mother, but Luo Qingluan didn't see her at the birthday banquet.

Since the abdication of Emperor Xichu, he has nominally been recuperating in the deep palace, but everyone knows that he was forced to abdicate, so he is uneasy, but he has been seriously ill for only half a month. Originally, Nangong Qing was reluctant to give this birthday banquet, but the queen mother persuaded a few words, to the effect that she would take this opportunity to get close to her ministers and pay equal attention to grace and power, so that she could slowly get used to her current status.

Although he became an emperor, Nangong Qing still respects the mother concubine who raised him. Even though she stayed in Tianol Palace to take care of Emperor Xichu, Nangong Qing still greeted her first, and then brought Queen Su Yi here.

Looking at Su Yi, Luo Qingluan noticed that there was actually a bit of loneliness hidden on her smiling face. There is even a trace of unconcealable sorrow looming between the eyebrows, and the smile is a little far-fetched.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, we're not late, are we?" Luo Qingluan walked over and saluted.

"Qingluan, don't be polite, come and sit on my side." Su Yi spoke first. As soon as she saw Luo Qingluan, she finally had a sincere smile, and directly asked Luo Qingluan to sit beside her.

Although her position is not as formal as that on the Jinluan Palace, she is next to the emperor, which is not to be taken lightly. As soon as Su Yi said this, she attracted countless envious eyes to stare at Luo Qingluan.

Luo Qingluan's identity was infinitely beautiful when she was the queen at the beginning, and now, whether it is the newly enthroned emperor Nangong Qing or the queen Su Yi, they all have a good relationship with her, which is not something that everyone can envy.

When Nangong Qing was still the crown prince, he was almost pointed out by the queen mother as the crown princess, if it wasn't for the king of Chu to take the lead, now Luo Qingluan would be the queen's mother. Some people who knew what happened at the beginning even now secretly speculated whether His Majesty still had indelible feelings for Princess Chu, but they just thought that the relationship with King Chu had to be hidden in their hearts.

And Su Yi's attitude towards Luo Qingluan also made everyone know.

Now this queen mother is not displeased with her because of the rumor that Her Majesty likes Luo Qingluan, but is still so affectionate. From the fact that Su Yi did not prevent Nangong Qing from raising the two former maids as concubines, everyone could see a few points. First, the queen mother is kind and generous by nature, and second, she may still have a little gratitude, after all, she was still the prince's majesty at the beginning, but because of Luo Qingluan's matchmaking, the two were together.

No matter how everyone guesses, Luo Qingluan doesn't have so much thought, Su Yi is good to her, she is good to Su Yi. If Su Yi started to distance herself from her because she became a queen, then she would not lick her face and stutter.

Because of Nangong Chen's accident, Su Yi lost her grandfather, Luo Qingluan originally wanted to go to see her when the situation became clear, and comfort her, who knew that she had been pestered by Nalan Ye and couldn't get out of the house at all, until now, she had the opportunity to tell Su Yi about it.

After a few polite words with Nangong Qing, Luo Qingluan ignored Nalan Ye's hot gaze and only talked to Su Yi.

With such an attitude, it is natural that Luo Qingluan is still angry in his heart. If it weren't for the birthday banquet today, I was afraid that Nalan would still be obsessed with her, like an energetic little wolf dog all day long, and he wouldn't let her go. All kinds of love words are endless, as if she is in a hurry, no matter how she puts on her face, begging for mercy, the soft and hard ones are coming, but Nalan Ye is still like this.

This month, she didn't know how much she had taken tonics, otherwise she was afraid of losing her body. And this kind of thing can't be said yet, it's happiness and hatred, it's just two heavens of ice and fire, Luo Qingluan is angry and funny, glaring at Nalan Ye fiercely, and really doesn't look at him.

"Qingluan, your relationship with the King of Chu is really good." Su Yi's tone was a little envious: "In front of so many people, the King of Chu has been looking at you, and he didn't even pay attention to the third princess toasting him just now." ”

Nangong Wan'er has now become the eldest princess, and she is not married yet, and the talented son who pursues her is also like a carp crossing the river. But Nangong Wan'er just didn't pick one, although it became different from before, and she would travel to the banquet with the suitors every once in a while, but it was obvious that her heart had not been withdrawn from the King of Chu.

Glancing at Nalan Ye not far away, Luo Qingluan's gaze glanced at Nangong Wan'er, who was still not leaving, and then took it back, and whispered, "How is Your Majesty treating you?" I heard that today someone wants to use the name of celebrating His Majesty's birthday to let his daughter perform or something, such an old trick, you have to be careful. ”

I thought that Su Yi would say something indifferent, or that Nangong Qing was good to her, she was relieved, but who knew that Su Yi shook her head, and she didn't have the shyness and sweetness of her daughter's family at all: "How can I care about this now." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Luo Qingluan was a little worried, thought about it and asked her, "But is it because of your grandfather?" Su Yi, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to mourn. His Majesty has posthumously crowned the Marquis of Wei Yang as a loyal and brave duke, isn't it still asking people to build a memorial arch? His Majesty also felt sorry for Wei Yanghou's affairs, but fortunately, Nangong Chen was dead, and he could be regarded as avenging Wei Yanghou. ”

Su Yi sighed lightly and nodded: "I'm just thinking about my grandmother, since my grandfather died, she has changed into a person, and she is not even human." It's only been a month, she's already sick, and I can't go back to visit her, so what's the use of sending someone to send something back? ”

became a queen, and she seemed to have grown up a lot immediately. In the past, I only felt that I would be a couple for a lifetime, as long as there was love, it was enough, but now, the crown prince has become His Majesty, she has become the queen, and there is a relationship between the two, but if you want to be like what she imagined, it is simply impossible.

Heart disease still needs heart medicine, even if Luo Qingluan's medical skills are unparalleled, but if he wants to save a person who has the will to die, he can't. Maybe it's a good thing to really follow it. didn't want Su Yi to be sad anymore, Luo Qingluan could only change the topic and talk about tonight's birthday banquet.

"Your Majesty told me that the Queen Mother wants Her Majesty to choose a few women you like today to enrich the harem."

Su Yi had a little loneliness and helplessness on her face: "Actually, I have long thought that there will be such a day when I marry Your Majesty, but when this day really comes, I still ...... Still not used to it. ”

Glancing at Nangong Qing next to him, he and Su Yi sat side by side, but there was a distance of about two feet in the middle, Luo Qingluan and Su Yi were talking quietly, and he could hardly hear it. In addition, there were courtiers toasting from time to time, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to eavesdropping on the conversation between the two women.

Moreover, Nalan Ye also glanced at Nangong Qing from time to time, as if he was warning and hinting at something, so that even if Nangong Qing wanted to say a few words to Luo Qingluan, he didn't dare. The identities are different, so you have to pay more attention to the influence, in case it is accidentally rumored that the emperor is playing with the wife of a courtier, it will be a shame.

From the beginning of knowing Su Yi, Luo Qingluan knew that she had a gentle temperament and had no scheming, but now that she had only been married to Nangong Qing for a month, she had become so aggrieved, Luo Qingluan was a little reluctant. Compared with Nalan Ye's entanglement with her, although the enthusiasm made her a little unbearable, it was definitely better than Nangong Qing's respect for Su Yi, which was why Luo Qingluan never considered Nangong Qing.

The emperor's harem, that is absolutely indispensable, countless emperors for thousands of years, and who loves only one person?

"You are the queen, what are you afraid of, even if Your Majesty marries more, it is not impossible to shake your status. And there are some things, just if you really like them, you must fight for them, and don't regret losing them. Luo Qingluan looked at Su Yi seriously, since this was the path she had chosen, she could only insist on going. It's just that when she is the crown princess, she can still be docile and kind, but once she achieves the position of queen, she has to change something.

Otherwise, in this deep palace, if you can't strengthen your mind, stick to your rights and honor, I'm afraid that if you are the queen again, you won't fall well, and there will even be a miserable and miserable day.

As if he understood something, Su Yi clenched Luo Qingluan's hand and nodded.

Suddenly, a voice interjected: "What are the queen and Princess Chu talking about?" It's such a joy to say. ”

But it was Nangong Qing, the courtier who toasted him just now went down, and he was a little busy and quietly interjected. Luo Qingluan saw that the moment his eyes noticed her, it seemed that something had lit up, and he had a look of amazement, but then it dimmed and disappeared quickly.

With just such a look, Luo Qingluan noticed something, but he was afraid that Nangong Qing still had feelings for her. I don't know if I should be moved by his persistence and affection, or if I feel that he is dissatisfied with Su Yi's inability to be single-minded, Luo Qingluan frowned lightly and said lightly: "Naturally, I am talking about today's birthday banquet." ”

Without waiting for Su Yi to speak, Luo Qingluan had already said first: "Just now I saw that Marquis Xuanping toasted His Majesty, and it seems that by the way, I also invited His Majesty to go to the Hou Mansion for a banquet next month, right?" It seems that Xuanping Hou will also have his fiftieth birthday next month, but he is also very happy. ”

I don't know why Luo Qingluan mentioned this, Nangong Qing has no doubt about her: "Yes, Xuanping Hou mentioned this, but I have been busy recently, and I haven't decided whether to go or not." ”

"Then if Your Majesty wants to go, do you want to take the queen mother with you? I heard that the county lord of Yiyang has always been in love with His Majesty, but I'm afraid that on that day, Xuanping Hou will still give His Majesty a matchmaker, right? I don't know if Your Majesty likes the Lord of Yiyang, if Your Majesty is also interesting, then it's better to go alone, the queen of the province is present, and there are some things that are not easy to say. Luo Qingluan said that he was not sour, he was really angry for Su Yi.

Su Yi didn't seem to hear it, but said with a smile: "Qingluan, look at what you said, the county lord of Yiyang is both talented and good-looking, and he has always liked His Majesty before, if His Majesty thinks it's good, just tell Xuanping Hou about it, and this palace thinks it's excellent." ”

"Really?" Luo Qingluan smiled slightly: "If the queen doesn't object, then it's better to go and see with Your Majesty." ”

"Uh, you ......" It was very embarrassing for the two girls to sing and harmonize, Nangong Qing said: "The queen thinks too much, that's what Xuanping Hou himself meant, I didn't think much about it." ”

Su Yi immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty didn't think much about it, but it shouldn't be, if the Queen Mother asks tomorrow, how many women does Your Majesty like at today's birthday banquet and is going to accept a few concubines, how will Your Majesty explain to the Queen Mother?" ”
