Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 5

When Du Xiaoyue figured out how to treat this emperor who didn't know whether he was square or round, he had already come to the Holy Cross.Like the other ladies, Du Xiaoyue lowered her head and glanced at the girls from the corner of her eye to see how they saluted, and then followed suit.

Needless to say, those people knelt down as soon as they came, and Du Xiaoyue also knelt down, and at the same time sighed in her heart: These knees have never knelt down before their parents, what kind of emperor of the Feiya Dynasty came here to kneel now!He didn't say anything about being exempt, he really wasn't afraid of losing his life!

"Daughters of the people see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Several young ladies spoke, speaking those old-fashioned lines.Although Du Xiaoyue's lips moved, she didn't make a sound.

After the worship, the whole hall was silent for a while.Du Xiaoyue and those women just knelt like that.I don't know how long I've been kneeling, but Du Xiaoyue got impatient after kneeling, her feet felt a little numb, and her right hand was boringly drawing circles on the palm of her left hand, when a majestic voice came from above: "Let's get down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Although Du Xiaoyue said this, she was already greeting the emperor's eighteen generations of ancestors in her heart.

"Report your names one by one!" Although the voice was majestic, there was a hint of impatience.Du Xiaoyue chuckled in her heart: Could it be that the emperor is still a little impatient with these beauties?

"The daughter of the people, Li Qianrou, is meeting the emperor." Li Qianrou said in a soft voice, with a nice voice, like a scholarly child.The ancients respected the right, and Li Qianrou stood on the far right, so she was the first to speak.

"Folk girls like smoke see the emperor."

"Minister girl Zhang Xueman sees the emperor."

"Liu Mengnan, a civil daughter, sees the emperor." When Liu Mengnan spoke, she was full of heroism, which matched her temperament very well.

The last one, of course, is Du Xiaoyue. Although she doesn't like this kind of price list that is like a commodity, she doesn't want to be unique. "Du Xiaoyue, the daughter of the people, sees the emperor." Du Xiaoyue put away her usual lazy and light tone when speaking, and injected a little trill, as if she was terrified in her heart at this moment!

"You all raise your heads, let Aijia and the emperor take a good look!" Another woman's voice that sounded kind but majestic came.

Listening to this voice, it should be the legendary queen mother.Du Xiaoyue guessed in her heart, and at the same time secretly screamed that it was not good: a person's eyes can convey a lot of information, and can truly reflect a person's state of mind—unless that kind of acting skills are excellent, or they can hide their emotions with their eyes. People who live on their minds.Du Xiaoyue thinks that she has not yet reached the state where she can hide all her thoughts with her eyes.But the queen mother did not dare to disobey the order, the only thing she could do now was to stop staring at the two people above when she raised her head.

Looking up, Du Xiaoyue didn't look at what the two of them looked like, but just glanced at their clothes.The one sitting directly above must be the current emperor.The body shape is a bit thin, not like the bulky body shape of the muscular men popular in Su Xiaoyue's era. With the bright yellow dragon robe, Du Xiaoyue can feel the innate nobility just by looking at that body.

If you look to the right, you are also dressed in yellow, except that the yellow is lighter than the yellow of the emperor's clothes. The beautiful phoenix embroidery looks like it will fly into the air in the next moment; the owner of the phoenix robe is a little fat, graceful and luxury.

"Emperor, take Yu Ruyi to pick the queen!" The queen mother spoke again, "You have to remember that the overall situation is the most important thing in everything!"

Ah!The queen mother did not forget to remind the emperor at this time!
"Mother, my son knows how to do it." This time, the majesty in the voice was a little less majestic, and a little more gentle.

Ming Huang stood up, Du Xiaoyue lowered her head, and glanced at the other four from the corner of her eye. They all raised their heads, but unfortunately Du Xiaoyue couldn't see every trace of their expressions.Heavy footsteps came and stopped three steps away.Du Xiaoyue felt a look of appreciating glances.Then footsteps sounded again, and Du Xiaoyue followed that figure out of the corner of her eye, only to see him stop in front of Li Qianrou: "Your name is Qianrou?"

"Back to the emperor, the daughter of the people is Qianrou." Li Qianrou performed perfectly, with a hint of tension in her seemingly flat voice.

"I heard that your poems and paintings are outstanding?" There was some teasing in the cold voice.

"Returning to the emperor, a commoner girl only knows a thing or two." Modesty is a traditional virtue, and she should be very proficient in one or two things!

There was a moment of silence, followed by another majestic voice: "Then from now on, you will be Concubine Rou!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Qianrou knelt down, thanking Li, and that bright yellow hand helped her up.If Du Xiaoyue read it correctly, Li Qianrou's daughter's coquettish look was obvious.

Then the bright yellow figure slowly moved towards Du Xiaoyue, and Du Xiaoyue's gaze followed him, and then stopped in front of her.Du Xiaoyue was startled, did she do something to attract his attention?
"You don't dare to look at me?" The majestic voice sounded, and Du Xiaoyue was also thinking about how to answer.

"Min...min girl...not..." Du Xiaoyue tried her best to sound nervous, "Back...to the emperor...min girl...not..." Du Xiaoyue's eyes rolled around, and finally fixed her gaze on On the dark green ring worn on the thumb of the man's hanging hand.It was a jade ring. Although Du Xiaoyue didn't know jade, the one worn by the emperor must be worth a lot of money!Suddenly, Du Xiaoyue had the urge to reach out and pick up that ring—it was something that even antique players hadn't played with before!But now, that thing is right in front of my eyes, as long as I stretch out my hand...

"It's not what?" Du Xiaoyue didn't say a word for a long time. The emperor was obviously impatient, and his tone was not much better.

"It's worth it..." Du Xiaoyue unconsciously uttered a low voice. Just as the words came out of her mouth, Du Xiaoyue secretly twitched her lips. Why is she so fuzzy at this moment! "Go back to the emperor, Minnen...is...not...is dare." Finally finished speaking, as for whether there is an answer he wants, he can choose what he likes to hear from here.

Suddenly, someone lifted his chin, and a pair of cold eyes met Du Xiaoyue's eyes.Unexpectedly, the emperor would act like this, Du Xiaoyue was stunned for a second, then quickly rolled her eyes, her whole body trembled in unison, making herself extremely flustered.But at the same time, he also looked at the emperor inadvertently: he looks pretty good, with thick eyebrows, energetic but big eyes, double eyelids, straight and straight nose, slightly thin but very red On the whole, her lips should be someone Du Xiaoyue can remember at a glance.

"Huh!" The corner of his mouth was raised slightly, and a cold voice came out of his mouth. Then, the strength of Du Xiaoyue's jaw disappeared. Du Xiaoyue quickly buried her head again, listening to what he said, "Hold it!" coldly The voice came, accompanied by the cold jade stretched out in front of Du Xiaoyue.

Du Xiaoyue took the jade silently, her hands trembling slightly, and her voice trembling: "Thank you... Your Majesty... Your Majesty." But she was thinking in her heart that this jade should be worth a little, um, if one day the palace really can't accommodate it... If you don't own it, just take this jade away and sell it, it will be enough for half your life.

Without saying anything, he turned around and walked towards his emperor's throne.

"Okay, from now on, the Empress will be Du Xiaoyue." The Empress Dowager seemed relieved, and said briskly, "Emperor, what do you think about the wedding in three days' time?"

"Mother, I hate those red tapes, so the canonization ceremony will be waived, and the world will be called." The emperor's voice was still cold, and there was no sadness or joy, "The rest of them will all be named noble concubines."

The Queen Mother listened, but there was no more to say.Du Xiaoyue also heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. I heard from Hongsi that if there is any canonization ceremony, it will be very troublesome. I have to sacrifice to the heavens and ancestors, and I have to be kneeled by all the officials... In short, for Du Xiaoyue, If there was such a ceremony, it would definitely kill her.

"Come here, send the empresses to their respective palaces." The emperor said again, "By the way, Concubine Rou, get ready to sleep tonight!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Qianrou thanked her, with indescribable excitement and coquettishness in her voice.

Du Xiaoyue still lowered her head, thanked the other concubines together, did not even look at the two people in the upper seat, followed the palace servants, and left the palace.

"Zhaoyang Palace." Du Xiaoyue stood in front of a splendid palace with golden walls, looking at the plaque hanging above the main entrance of the palace, on which there were three dragons and phoenixes dancing in seal script.When Du Xiaoyue was still Su Xiaoyue, she didn't know seal characters, but after arriving here, as soon as she looked at this kind of characters, what it was would appear in her mind.

Zhaoyang Palace, in Du Xiaoyue's consciousness, only knew Zhaoyang Palace. In ancient Chinese history, the women who lived in Zhaoyang Palace were the emperor's favorite.

"Your Majesty, this is your future bedroom." The palace man who led the way said sharply.

"En." Du Xiaoyue nodded, continuing her previous thoughts: This Zhaoyang Palace should be the place where all the empresses lived.However, Du Xiaoyue always had a feeling: she would not live here for a long time!

Lifting your feet and entering the gate, the first thing you see is a main courtyard of about [-] square meters.The main road is paved with marble and leads directly to the main hall, but there are many court ladies and eunuchs kneeling on both sides of the road. "Servants (slaves) pay respects to the empress!" Du Xiaoyue had just stepped into the door when the group of court ladies and eunuchs shouted in unison, "May the empress have a thousand years and a thousand years!"

Du Xiaoyue was taken aback by this situation, but quickly calmed down—it was just a rotten plot on TV, so don't be too surprised.It's just that they were all kneeling, which made Du Xiaoyue feel very uncomfortable. She wanted to speak calmly, but she also saw that the palace guard who led her here should be someone close to the emperor or the empress dowager. He was also present when she met the emperor just now. If he is too calm now, it will arouse his suspicion, and then he will go back and report to... Thinking of this, Du Xiaoyue said softly and tremblingly: "Get up!"
