palace heart

Chapter 27
Maybe it's because she got enough sleep in the afternoon, but Li Qianlan is not sleepy now, and all she can think about is Yurong's calm eyes.At first she just thought those eyes were pure, but now, she doesn't think that way anymore.It's not that Yurong's heart is impure, but what kind of environment can force him to be like that?

Yu Rong's words filled his mind, "Of course, if you want to pull me down, I don't blame you."

Don't blame her!

The next day, early in the morning, Li Qianlan put on her official uniform and waited outside the imperial study.The foreign envoy just arrived today and stayed at the embassy in the imperial city.Li Qianlan will not be able to see her, and she will not be available until tomorrow.

Emperor Ying came down from the morning court, saw Li Qianlan standing outside, and was embraced by the maids and eunuchs into the imperial study, and it took another two hours before he summoned Li Qianlan.In any case, it is a good thing that she has entered the imperial study.

Li Qianlan handed her newly edited summary to Eunuch Xi, and then to the emperor, reciting the things the emperor should pay attention to.Zheng Chenghao nodded again and again when he heard it. Although he looked a little haggard, but because his daughter's "vengeance" was also avenged, he also got some comfort, but he was also energetic.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Emperor Ying thought that Empress Zheng was not there, so he said to Li Qianlan: "Receive Princess Anton Eketa well."

"Yes." Li Qianlan bowed gratefully.

Gao Chengen next to him coughed, and Zheng Chenghao's eyes flashed with pain, he still stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the country cannot live without a king, and the harem cannot live without a queen. Let the empress dowager take charge of the palace, there is still a more polite way, What's more, there are some things that require the empress to come forward, your majesty, you should consider the matter of becoming an empress as soon as possible."

Emperor Ying became impatient after hearing this, and stood up, stood up.I married a woman I didn't love to be the queen before, and now I want to marry another one?But he said, "There is no rush to establish a queen. Now that Fanguo is coming to court, not to mention, my queen has only been gone for less than a month, and I want to be a queen. How can I be worthy of our husband and wife for more than ten years? Zheng Aiqing, Don't mention it again, I know your patriotic and respectful thoughts. I will always respect you as an elder!"

Yingdi's words reached Zheng Chenghao's heart.His eyes were a little red again, and he quickly knelt down to thank him.And Emperor Ying also avoided the matter of becoming a queen, and looking at the Manchu Dynasty, there are not many candidates suitable to be a queen, and the Zheng family has no unmarried daughters.Apart from the Zheng family, there are only the Gao family and the Shen family.He didn't dare to have the Gao family, and neither could the Shen family.Zheng Chenghao can persuade him to marry again for the sake of righteousness, and he has to be able to marry and willing to marry!
If the foreign envoys come to see him, if they are of ordinary status, Emperor Ying only needs to meet him in court and exchange documents.But now, it is the prince and the princess who come, and I heard that this princess is the most beautiful flower that spins silk.Moreover, they intended to marry the princess, but they didn't mention that they wanted to marry the emperor, and no one said it.

But everyone loves beauty, and Emperor Ying couldn't help but look at her a few more times during the dinner.

After Xi broke up, Li Qianlan was ordered to accompany Princess Eketa, and Princess Eketa seemed to be very interested in Li Qianlan. "Is every woman in the palace as beautiful as you? The emperor doesn't even look at you?"

Li Qianlan looked at Princess Eketa blinking her big eyes with an innocent look, and relieved a lot of her dull mood for many days. "Qianlan is just a small female official. The concubines in the palace are all ladies and ladies selected from all over the world. Naturally, Qianlan is not as good as them. The princess is the most beautiful woman in weaving silk. Compared with the women in the Central Plains, she has a bold beauty. It's not a good comparison."

"If you ask me, the emperor's concubines are not as good as you." Princess Eketa said bluntly.

Li Qianlan has long practiced the ability to not be surprised by honor or disgrace, and smiled modestly: "The princess is ridiculous."

Li Qianlan wanted to miss the topic, but Princess Eketa didn't want to let her go, "The queen is gone, that seat is vacant, don't you want to fight? Don't say you are a little court lady. I heard what the prince said yesterday , there hasn't been a female officer for ten years, and you are the only one in ten years, don't say you are just a little female officer, I don't believe it!"

Li Qianlan forced a smile and stopped entangled in this topic.

"Tell me, what kind of woman does the emperor like?"

After hearing this, Li Qianlan felt a headache. This woman opened her mouth and said she is the emperor. Could it be that the rumor is true?She wants to marry Emperor Ying?Even want to be this queen?
Even if Princess Eketa really wanted to be a queen, it had nothing to do with Li Qianlan.

Seeing Li Qianlan's tense face, and showing a pure smile again, he said without any hesitation: "Isn't it the position of a queen, don't be so nervous. It's not about grabbing other people's things, that position is vacant, as long as you want to , let’s fight!”

Looking at that heartless face, Li Qianlan suddenly felt envious.Once upon a time, I was as innocent as her.

"Qianlan, Qianlan!" Princess Eketa put her hands on her waist, and was very angry at Li Qianlan for ignoring her. You can tell how angry she is just by looking at her pouted mouth and staring at her big black eyes .

Li Qianlan looked at Princess Eketa as if seeing her own sister, even though she was one year older than herself. "Let's go, I'll take you for a walk in the palace. In some places, the scenery is not bad."

Princess Eketa is not interested in the scenery, but more interested in Li Qianlan, "Are all the women in the Central Plains like you?"

"What kind of girl from the Central Plains?" Li Qianlan pretended not to understand, and "asked" Princess Eketa.

Princess Eketa twisted her body, walked in small steps, took about ten steps, turned her head, smiled exaggeratedly and shyly, and raised eyebrows at Li Qianlan, "That's it."

Li Qianlan laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up, "Women from the Central Plains don't look like you said."

"Why not!" Princess Eketa also laughed.

"At least, they won't flirt like you!" Li Qianlan rarely smiled so heartily.

"That's because you didn't see it. Many women on the road looked at my brother like this, and I saw it!" Princess Eketa smiled even brighter.

The scene of two peerless beauties laughing and laughing in the imperial garden is really beautiful!

Emperor Ying looked at the two of them, narrowing his eyes slightly.It was the first time he had seen Li Qianlan's bright smiling face, and it was a smile that captivated the city, but that's it.Princess Eketa's openness is something that girls from the Central Plains do not have.

Princess Eketa noticed Emperor Ying, and saluted Emperor Ying as a silk-spinning country. She stood up straight without waiting for Emperor Ying to call for flattening, but looked at Emperor Ying provocatively.

Dare to look directly at Yingdi's daughter, except for Empress Dowager Gao, she is the only one!It's not as rigid and gentle as the Central Plains women, it's like a bowl of strong wine, the stronger the wine, the more you want to be conquered!A desire to conquer arose in Emperor Ying's heart!

Seeing Emperor Ying, Li Qianlan immediately put away her ecstatic smile and stood upright.

The person who was fascinated by Li Qianlan's smile was not only Emperor Ying, but also the silk-spinning prince Habok next to him.Along the way, I saw the Central Plains woman who was used to Xiaojiabiyu, and then I saw Li Qianlan's gentle and elegant temperament, and I couldn't help being attracted.Although humble, she stands stubbornly, as beautiful as a flower that survives tenaciously in a storm.

Li Qianlan didn't know Prince Habok's attention to her, and when she heard the emperor said that she wanted to accompany Princess Ekota for a stroll, she tactfully resigned.

"Wait a minute." Prince Habok shouted, making everyone's attention focus on Li Qianlan, "Earlier, I heard about the matter of the female officer from my father, and I was also curious. Why don't Miss Qianlan stay here for a while? Accompany my sister to go shopping again."

Li Qianlan murmured that it was not good, but said with a smile: "Qianlan is just a small female official. When the monarch and his ministers talk, Qianlan dare not talk too much."

Emperor Ying did not look at Li Qianlan, but only at the woman in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Princess Eketa was not willing to let Li Qianlan leave, and stepped forward to hold her back, "Qianlan, come with us, didn't I just say that you are not a small female official, but the only female official in Dahong Dynasty You’re not too small!” As he spoke, he made gestures, he was a fist taller than himself, “Look, he’s a little taller than me.”

After finishing speaking, he still looked jealous, which was really funny.

The crowd laughed.

Emperor Ying said: "You were originally going to accompany the driver, but now you are responsible for entertaining Princess Eketa, so let's go along with you. My daughter is still young and can't take care of Princess Eketa. You will accompany her in a while." Let's go to see the Queen Mother together, and then have a banquet."

Li Qianlan quickly thanked her, but felt uneasy.Because when she was stopped by Prince Habok, she felt his scorching gaze.Such fiery gaze made Li Qianlan feel uncomfortable.

The three of them strolled around for a while, Emperor Ying and Prince Habok talked about state affairs, Princess Eketa shouted that she was bored, and begged to go to Queen Mother Gao.Emperor Ying agreed immediately.Before Li Qianlan could say nonsense about thanking her, she was forcibly pulled away by Princess Eketa.

"It would be great if you were born in our weaving silk." Princess Eketa said bluntly as always: "Looking at you, the emperor said a word, and you thanked him once. I am tired watching it! The princess here is not like We weave silk, and when we see the emperor, we also want to bow. But you are different, even though you bow down, you are tough in your bones, I like it."

Li Qianlan was shocked and was about to say something when Princess Eketa said again: "Okay, there are only you and me here, what are you afraid of! I won't tell anyone! Let's go, let's go, I heard that the Empress Dowager is also a beauty !"

What Princess Keta said gave Li Qianlan a headache. Why does this woman like to look at beautiful women?There are so many beauties in the harem who don't want to look at them, but they want to look at that empress dowager Gao who is difficult to deal with!

As if seeing Li Qianlan's thoughts, Princess Eketa snorted, "What's so interesting about those vases in the harem? If you really want to see them, go to Jiangnan and grab them."
