The queen is alluring

Chapter 1

Xuanye Kingdom, the 45th year of Emperor Xuande.The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Horns sounded outside the moat, accompanied by a mighty 15 elite troops, and the black five-element flag of the Xuanye Dynasty fluttered in the wind with flames and corners, making it tremble.This is Xuanye Kingdom's [-]-year Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. The court is full of civil and military affairs, and the surrounding vassal states rushed to the court to congratulate. Winding straight up, like an oolong soaring into the sky.

Xuande Emperor Ling Fenghao, who has been on the throne for 45 years, has been diligent in government and caring for the people. He has fought more than a hundred times, and all of them have triumphed.However, such a conscientious and conscientious generation of Mingjun is facing the biggest threat to his life and family: the prince is young, only 11 years old, but the emperor is already in his twilight years.

There are three officials in Xuanye Kingdom's imperial court assisting the government, two of them are very old, one is the old emperor's uncle and the eighth prince, and the other is the country's uncle Wang Yanying.These two veteran ministers have worked hard for the country all their lives, and they can be said to be diligent and respectful to serve their superiors, but now they are old and old, and they have to retire bravely to take care of themselves.

And the third assistant minister is Leng Zhong, who is in power at the time. He controls the government and has a resolute personality. All three of his sons hold important positions in the court.Among them, Leng Zhantian, the third son, stands out. Although he is only sixteen years old, he is already a third-rank general in the town with illustrious military exploits.The name has entered the history and spread throughout the world.

"When the auspicious time comes, the emperor moves to the Tianque Terrace, let's have fun!" When the auspicious time arrives, tens of thousands of horse-drawn carriages accompany, the small sedan chair stops, and a bright yellow dragon chariot descends leisurely. Step up the high platform and sing loudly.

A dozen maids in lotus-leaf green palace skirts hurried forward, opened the drape of bright yellow embroidered black dragon patterns, and supported an old man in yellow robes with a kind body, sharp eyebrows, and gorgeous hair at the temples.This person is the 72-year-old Emperor Xuan Ye, who is praised by the people all over the world.

"Your servants, bow down to the holy heaven, may my emperor live forever, the world will be stable, and the world will be peaceful." There was a sound of boots and clothes rustling all around, and all the civil and military dynasties, and the princes of the world, all bowed down and prostrated, and called the heavenly saint three times. Anji, prolonging the year without boundaries, praying for the people to have a good weather and a stable home and country.

The old emperor nodded compassionately, slowly raised his hand, and said majesticly: "Introduce paper, burn incense, and offer sacrifices to the crown prince."

"Nuo" the servant Guan responded, and then stepped up the stone steps built of white jade, took the incense table sent by the maid, turned around and proclaimed loudly: "The emperor has a decree, quote paper, burn incense, and the prince will sacrifice on his behalf."

"My emperor is wise, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old," the officials kowtowed.

I saw that as soon as a chariot drove up, a young man about eleven or twelve years old wearing a yellow python robe stepped down from the chariot. The young man was pale and seemed not very timid. Facial expression, golden crown in hair, yellow necklace hanging on the temples, and nine dragon beads and jade pendant on the waist, the whole is a light-hearted child, except for those dark eyes that no one dares to look at.

This young man is the prince of Xuanye Kingdom. It is rumored that the old emperor had a son, so the prince was weak when he was born and often fell ill. Now, although he is about ten years old, he takes medicine every day. When it is serious, he even eats food Can not take care of themselves.

"The sons and ministers see the father and the emperor." The crown prince Ling Yexuan walked up to the old emperor and kowtowed.

The old emperor looked at the prince with satisfaction, raised his hand to support him, his old but wise eyes glanced at a group of courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, laughed twice, and then his eyes fell on the minister who was still in the court, Leng Zhong's words On the body, he said meaningfully: "I am already old, but the prince is still young, I really can't be relieved. Leng Qing's family..."

Leng Zhong's body on the ground paused, and then he got up, with a kind face and a gentle expression, he stepped forward and said respectfully: "The minister is here"

"I heard that your Xinna's wife is eight months pregnant, but is it true?" The old emperor closed his eyes and hid the shrewdness and calculation in his eyes.

Leng Zhong sank, his heart moved, and he instantly understood what the emperor meant. He bowed his head gently and said: "Thanks to the emperor's concern, the old minister's wife is indeed pregnant, but the old minister is not blessed. daughter"

"Hahaha" the old emperor laughed loudly, he patted Leng Zhong on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Why did Leng Qing's family say this? If you are a daughter, it is also the blessing of the court and the world."

Leng Zhong's face changed, but he only catered to him and said: "The emperor laughed and said that although the old minister has three sons under his knees, the three sons are not outstanding. If the eldest son did not receive the holy grace, how could He De be in the court? The second son is even less promising. Long En took care of him and sent him to the Ministry of Industry for training, but he couldn't improve..."

"However, the third son of the minister is a general who has made great military achievements." The old emperor interrupted Leng Zhong, and looked sideways at him.

Leng Zhong's complexion suddenly became even uglier, he bent his knees suddenly, saluted, and said: "The old minister is terrified."

"Hahaha" the old emperor laughed again, he committed himself to supporting Leng Zhong, and said with a smile: "Why did the old minister say that? I just praised the old prime minister for his hard work, not only for assisting me for many years, but also for my court. General Leng is so talented as a general, and now, the crown prince has reached the age of weak crown, and the old minister gave birth to the crown prince and concubine for the prince, he is really a generation of virtuous ministers."

As soon as this remark came out, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty shouted in amazement, and even the princes of many countries raised their heads in surprise. For a while, everyone exclaimed incessantly, busy congratulating: "Minister, wait, congratulate Prime Minister Leng, congratulate the crown prince."

Leng Zhong's complexion was already sallow, and the power of the sky was unpredictable, how could he not know the emperor's intention?He kowtowed in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, this... this... old minister, He Dehe Neng, the little girl has not yet been born, this..."

"That's it. It's settled. The next day, I will give a decree to grant a marriage, so there is no need to say any more." After the old emperor said, he closed his eyes and paused for a while, then raised his hand to press the prince's thin shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Xuan'er, will you marry me in the future?" Inheriting the throne, you must treat your queen well. In a few days, you choose a good day, send the dowry to the prime minister's mansion, and take a look at your princess by the way."

Empress... Everyone was surprised again, and Leng Zhong's complexion became even uglier.The emperor's words just now are nothing more than telling everyone that the unborn baby girl in the womb of the minister's wife will not only be the crown prince's concubine, but also the future queen.

"My son obeys the order" The prince kowtowed and took the order, his thin body was wrapped under the robe, making him look extremely weak.

"My lord, I can't repay you for the grace I have received. I can only thank the emperor again. I wish my emperor long live, long live, long live." Sweat was already covering Leng Zhong's forehead, he suppressed the confusion and trembling in his heart, and he was still as usual She thanked Long En tenderly, but the hands under the wide sleeves of the dark blue court uniform trembled uncontrollably.
