The story of searching for post-modern imperial concubine Part II

Chapter 20 When did modern fairy tales happen?

On Thursday afternoon, Win Hao got off work from the Ministry of War in advance and went to MuRongLing's home to pick up the heart of the empire-Worry-Free Palace.

Before getting on the bus, I saw Su Jin look listless. The more worried she was, she held her hand and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be nervous. It doesn't matter what they say. "

What a born rebel! Su Jin saw his one eye and said nothing.

It is said to be a palace, but in fact, a building covering dozens of hectares is no different from a small town. After several reforms in modern times, there are only a few palaces centered on Taiji Palace where members of the royal family live, which are generally called "Forbidden Palace". Other places have been transformed into office areas for the Cabinet, Senate and Parliament, and some have become the Palace Museum, which is open to the public.

The emperor's office and city hall are both in Taiji Palace.

Because the invitation is positioned as a family banquet, it is located in Qifeng Palace where the Queen lives.

After passing through the powerful outer door of Worry-Free Palace, which is tens of meters high, the car will slow down to 20 kilometers per hour. Su Jin sat in the special car that won the Yue Yue, and slowly passed through the majestic inner door and the beautifully designed royal garden. In a trance, she felt that she was driving on the just visiting, witnessing the changes of the times.

Imperialist democracy ... Through these buildings, Su Jin seems to have a deeper understanding of his motherland. No wonder many people want to visit the Worry-Free Palace not far from Wan Li, because it is like an ongoing history.

I found that Su Jin was obviously interested in Worry-Free Palace. Wen Hao Yue whispered, "I'll show you around next time."

With him, I should be able to see many valuable antiques that are not usually on display. Think of this layer, Su Jin has nodded readily.

Until this moment, Wen Hao Yuecai really felt that the anger of serious loss after the outbreak of the X Weekly incident returned to Su Jin, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor and queen have arrived first. Win Hao Yue and Su Jin waited in Hou Jianting for a while and were led to the living room. As soon as he walked in, he found the emperor sitting in the main seat of the living room, and Queen Shen was sitting there with him. These two figures often appear in newspapers and magazines. Su Jin has never been idolized, so when he meets a real person, he won't feel passionate.

She meticulously performed numerous court ceremonies for the two men. After looking up, she saw the emperor smiling and motioning with his hand, indicating that she would sit in his next position.

Sandalwood carved chair, no cushion. Su Jin quickly glanced at where he was going to sit, and immediately decided that his hips would suffer a little. Old-fashioned things are inhuman.

Although I complained in my heart, I sat down quietly with my face down. According to the standard court sitting posture, my ass only occupies a quarter of the seats.

Win more after she sat down, sitting next to her.

After drinking a round of tea, the queen first spoke reluctantly: "How long have you been dating?"

"Mom, we have been dating for almost a year." Because the queen didn't specify who she wanted to say, the more impolite the answer was.

The queen frowned slightly, discontentedly accusing Hao Yue of winning: "Why are you so ignorant? After dating for so long, I never mentioned it. We still know it through newspapers. "

Don't! Su Jin secretly gave the queen a message. Almost all her life has been calculated by this old woman, and she still pretends not to know her here. That's nonsense ... Su Jin thought disdainfully.

See Su Jin didn't speak, the queen was embarrassed, wanted to think, and decided to go directly into the program.

"The incident happened suddenly. We don't know much about Miss Su ... I don't know where your father works?"

Eighty percent of the ancestors of the eighteenth generation have been turned over by you, and you still don't know the situation!

Su Jin, who thought so in his heart, gave an absolute standard answer: "My father is a partner in a law firm."

……

The queen asked a bunch of miscellaneous questions, and Su Jin answered them politely, while the emperor always wore an elegant smile and refused to comment. After so many exchanges, the queen finally used her killer weapon: "I heard that when Miss Su was studying abroad, she had a' very close' boyfriend. Why did she break up? "

The queen particularly emphasized the words "very thoughtful", and the more she listened, the more uncomfortable she became, frowning.

Although it is normal for modern society to have several boyfriends before marriage, the queen's problem is actually very difficult. If Su Jin says that the breakup is due to weak feelings, the queen can say that she will not manage feelings; If she is tired of that man, the queen will say that she is not durable enough; If you are dumped by the man, it will undoubtedly make the winner lose face. After all, what she wants is a woman who is not wanted by others. ...

There are always a few tricky questions in the interview. Su Jin, who has experienced various interviews, is actually used to it. Without losing the number of revolutions of dual-core CPU, I quickly figured out the danger of this problem. Su Jin evaded the importance and answered cleverly: "Buddhism believes that people can be together by fate. Without the great wisdom of the Buddha, I really can't say' why'. "

"Miss Su, the new Buddha?" Before the queen could speak again, the emperor interjected with interest and said the first sentence of the night.

As we all know, the emperor believes in Buddhism, which is one of the reasons why Su Jin just chose the answer. Judging from the emperor's reaction, it should be that she got the right answer and started the hidden plot. The emperor chartered her to go directly through the first level of the game and enter the next level.

If you know that the more Su Jin wins, a person who doesn't go out for a long time is thinking about the gap between games. I'm afraid he even has a mind to strangle her, but he is nervous for her in vain.

"My mother is a devout believer, and I am more interested in Buddhist classics." Su Jin answered honestly.

"Well ..." The emperor smiled gently. "I invited the Prophet Master to give a speech in the palace next week. You can come and listen together if you are interested. " Master Saint is a famous Buddhist master, and Su Jin has also heard of him.

However, it seems that the emperor handed out the olive branch so easily that everyone was surprised. Su Jin stared blankly for a moment, looked at the queen, and found that she also looked like she didn't know the situation. It is estimated that the invitation was an impromptu work of the emperor, and he obediently agreed. Anyway, even if you wanted to assassinate her, you wouldn't choose Worry-Free Palace.

The emperor may not have the will to continue the joint hearing, so he passed the dinner without giving the queen a chance. After eating, he sent them away happily.

"What is this attitude?" On the car, Su Jin couldn't help asking to win Hao Yue. Winning doesn't matter. "It's hard to guess what your father does. But as I said before, their attitude is not important. "

Staring at Chang Shenghao with a black line for a long time, he was completely speechless ... This family really has a personality.

The next day, the public and Su Jin learned about the emperor's attitude towards this matter in the newspaper. A spokesman for the Emperor put it this way: "The empire is a democratic country, and every citizen is given the greatest degree of autonomy. As individuals, members of the royal family also have the right to handle their own private affairs. Therefore. I hope that the media and the public will fully respect the privacy of members of the royal family and not care too much about the personal feelings of members of the royal family. "

This is a very high-profile statement. The implication behind it is that the more you win, the more you want to fall in love with him, which is purely his private affair. Whether he finally married a commoner or a nobleman has nothing to do with the royal family. Therefore, people should not associate who he marries with the degree of democracy in this country.

Although the emperor's attitude of herding sheep was unexpected, before the emperor changed his mind, Wen Hao Yue quickly and decisively confirmed to the public through the public relations office that he and Su Jin were in serious contact, and specially allowed more serious media to interview him and Su Jin, completely "eight" everything that everyone wanted to gossip, and finally calmed down the scandal.

The next day, the Northern Metropolis Daily published an editorial article entitled "Walking Down from the Altar", arguing that the changes of the times inevitably eliminated the differences between clansmen and civilians, and the emperor chose to follow the trend and support the royal family members to walk down from the high altar with a non-interference attitude and stand on the same horizon with the people. This decision is undoubtedly wise.

As the first person who dared to step down from the altar, Wen Hao Yue was also known as "the pioneer of reform".

In the next few days, opinion polls began to show that the popularity of Emperor and Wen Hao Yue soared, and they seemed to be the two most popular people in the royal family. This is probably an unexpected harvest, which neither the emperor nor Hao Yue expected.

At the emperor's birthday party the day before the court meeting, Hao Yue was left behind by the emperor. This is the first time that the father and son have talked alone since they successfully returned to the Imperial City.

After drinking a cup of tea in silence, the emperor stood up and walked to his desk. He raised his hand and touched the photo of the late Shunshu Queen. After half a ring, he said, "The other day, X Weekly reported about you, and I went to see Master Wen when I was in a dilemma. I asked him what I should do about it, and he only asked me,' Does your majesty want to do what Empress Dowager Cixi did to you?' "

Master Wen is a contemporary Confucian scholar. In addition to being an imperial teacher, he is also one of the few remaining dukes in the empire. He never entered the DPRK or participated in politics, but he became the most trusted and respected person of the emperor.

The more you win, the clearer your eyes flash. The emperor wanted to marry Shunshu, which was strongly opposed by the Empress Dowager. After marriage, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been disharmonious, and even many people suspect that Shunshu's early death has a lot to do with the empress dowager.

The emperor was silent for a while, then turned to face Hao Yue, the winner: "I figured it out then. You are my son. After all, I don't want you to blame me for this. " When the emperor said this, he indirectly admitted that he had been complaining about the Queen Mother.

Hao Yue nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you, Dad!"

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Miss Su is a very good girl, and your eyes are not bad. Remember to protect her and don't repeat my mistakes. "

Realizing that the emperor's mistake meant that he didn't protect Shunshu, the more serious he was, the more he responded, "I will."

The emperor drank another cup of tea and closed his eyes. There seemed to be something difficult to decide. It was a long time before he opened his eyes and said, "The Imperial Capital is a dangerous place for that girl after all. Have you considered taking her to a safer place to live? "

Hao Ying became more and more surprised and asked, "What does father mean?"

The emperor took a deep breath and said word for word: "Yingtai is the largest and richest colony in the empire." If I seal it for you, will you go? " Heredity is like land, but if you win and agree, it means giving up the right to inherit the throne.

Going to Yingtai is undoubtedly an easy choice, and for Su to come in, staying away from the Queen is also a way to make security more secure, but the more he hesitates, the more he shakes his head.

The emperor immediately said crossly, "Why? Is this position so attractive to you? "

This is almost the first time that father and son have talked about this taboo sharply and directly. Wen Hao Yue's response still shook his head: "If my father had put forward this proposal a year ago, I would have agreed without hesitation."

"Then why can't you promise now?"

Hao Yue looked up at the emperor's eyes and said, "Because I love this country. I think big brother is not qualified to be the monarch of this country in his present state. "

The emperor cocked his head and subconsciously avoided Yue Yue's eyes. He said firmly, "I don't see anything wrong with the prince."

The weaker the victory, he said, "Father has lost his common heart."

The emperor seemed to lean back in his seat wearily and didn't speak again. For a long time, he waved and said to the winner, "You can go."

Wen Hao Yue took a deep look at the emperor before leaving, and suddenly felt that this powerful father was really old.

Because the emperor made it clear that he acquiesced in winning the alliance with Su Jin, Su Jin was not embarrassed at the emperor's birthday party. With Yue's victory, and the escort of Murong Ling and Shen Yu, the banquet at Hongmen, which was originally expected, became no surprise.

"You don't want to take care of this?" During the dinner, Countess Lehman asked Queen Shen curiously.

Empress Shen sneered, "Who dares to take care of what people expect?" She covered most of her face with a fan. After looking behind the fan for a long time, Queen Shen laughed again. "But ... maybe people think that where it ends is the beginning of the story." Didn't Shunshu marry the emperor, too? What happened in the end?

"Renee"

Su Jin finally got rid of the nobles who were curious about her. When she wanted to go outside to enjoy the cool, a familiar voice sounded. Su Jin turned around and saw Yao Zheng standing behind him, and immediately burst into a bright smile: "I guessed you would come, after all, such a big event!"

Zheng Yaowei smiled and found a place to sit down at a polite distance. He didn't say hello, but simply said, "Someone wants to see you. What kind of help you can get in the future depends on him. "

Su Jin paused to react, and Yao Zheng came to keep his promise. At first, the condition of their alliance was that Yao Zheng needed to help her gain some influence in the imperial city.

"When?"

"I'll pick you up. You can come out alone, right? "

Talk it over with MuRongLing. There should be no problem. After all, she has a crush on Yao Zheng. And MuRongLing recently has been busy playing cat and mouse games with Chen Xuan, it is estimated that I can't bear to look at her.

Wanted to think, Su Jin must have nodded.

Yao Zheng took her to Pinxiang Building, one of the famous teahouses in the imperial city. The VIP room here is a small building dotted with bamboo forests. It is midsummer, and the bamboo forest is quiet, cool and pleasant.

At the entrance of the small building, Yao Zheng stopped and later told Su Jin, "He wants to see you alone. I will wait outside the door. "

What kind of person can make the owner of Yao Zheng's big family wait outside like a servant? Seeing Su Jin's anxious face, Yao Zheng comforted him and said, "Don't worry. You have no problem. "

If there is any problem, it is impossible to retreat now. We have to go in and run in. Taking a deep breath, Su Jin went upstairs along the bamboo ladder. After knocking at the door, she heard an old but elegant voice say "come in". She pushed the door and went in.

There is a screen after entering the door. Su Jin bypassed the screen with some trepidation and saw a white-haired old man with sage like type.

I have never seen it in the media or on any occasion ... Su Jin wants to know which powerful minister is so low-key. On the surface, she still leaned forward to pay tribute to her elders.

The old man smiled and nodded and asked her to sit opposite the coffee table. After Su Jin was seated, the old man took the initiative to pour tea for her, without any shelf. After Su Jin thanked her, she drank a cup with her hands to show her respect.

After drinking three cups of tea, the old man first broke the silence: "In fact, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. Until February this year, I thought you would be the daughter-in-law of one of my grandchildren. "

Su Jin's face was expressionless. When he almost began to doubt whether he was mistaken for someone else, he heard the old man say faintly, "I have two grandchildren altogether. One is Yao Zheng, and the other is Wen Qidong. And both of them seem to like you in unison. "

Su Jin accidentally dropped his chin and didn't close it for a long time. The world doesn't have to be so small, does it? She really should seriously consider emigrating to Mars.

Just when Su Jin tried to relieve embarrassment and stress by thinking about something, the old man may have found her reaction interesting and even giggled: "Don't worry. I didn't mean anything by it. They don't know each other that they are in love with the same girl. However, I always strongly feel the influence of fate on the people in you. "

Su Jin was inexplicably relieved to hear that Zheng Yao and Wen Qidong didn't know each other. Just when she wanted to argue that she and Yao Zheng were not boyfriend and girlfriend, she heard the old man talking about fate, and her mind jumped over. Her eyes lit up and she asked, "Can your husband tell fortune?"

Orz…… ............................................................................................................................................................................... ...

The old man clearly saw her intention, smiled again and shook his head. "Just a little bit about it. At that time, when I found that Zheng Xiao always took special care of you, I looked at your life. After reading it, I sentenced a very expensive case, and you come from an ordinary family, so I conclude that you must be expensive by your husband. " Seeing that Su Jin was confused, he patiently continued, "I just didn't think that this' extremely expensive' was really very expensive, and my two grandchildren were not qualified."

Su Jin finally understood that the old man was saying that her life was too expensive to catch the royal family, but ordinary cremation could not hold her. But ... "What does this have to do with life? All this is accidental, isn't it? "

The old man smiled faintly: "There are no real accidents in this world. All accidents are inevitable. "

When he was young, he didn't believe in fate or ghosts. However, after reading all the classics in the world, he always has some doubts about life.

So in the year of destiny, he began to study numerology with a critical attitude. As a result, after more than 20 years, he discovered that people's lives and the luck of the country were doomed. Only a few things can be changed by people's efforts the day after tomorrow.

Now he criticizes people's lives and predicts that the national fortune is inseparable, which is one of the reasons why the emperor always looks for him when there is something difficult to decide.

Seeing Su Jin's dubious appearance, the old man didn't intend to instill in her what he had spent his whole life understanding, and led the topic back to the right direction: "My grandson will never be with you anyway. In three months, you will become the first civilian princess in the empire. "

"Ah?" Su Jin is also one leng, and can't help but chime in, "We're not ready to get married yet! How to also want to next year? " It will take at least a few months to prepare for the royal wedding. Even if we start preparing now, it will be difficult to make it in three months. What's more, Su Jin always wants to run away at the first opportunity!

The old man just smiled unfathomably and continued, "I called you here today just to meet you and satisfy your curiosity." In fact, from the beginning, I decided to give you as much help as possible, which is also a kind of fate ... this will be the last thing I do for the empire. "

Seeing that Su Jin was more confused, he did not intend to explain: "Zheng Xiao has been waiting here for a long time. Go ahead. " Say that finish, just took a sip of tea.

The somebody else out of the marching orders, Su Jin also bad repeatedly asked what, a question mark in my head went downstairs, I don't know if it's his nervousness or the old man's nervousness.

"Your grandfather is so mysterious!" Su Jin saw Yao Zheng and thought for a long time to come up with such an adjective. Finally, he couldn't help asking, "Who is he?"

Yao Zheng seems not surprised by Su Jin's comments and questions. He smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of Master Wen?"

Su Jin let out a cry and looked at Yao Zheng with wide eyes: "Master? So ... is your grandfather ... Mr. Wen? "

Yao Zheng looked at her exaggerated reaction and nodded with a smile.

Taking a deep breath, Su Jin began to understand why the old man could promise to help her, and he promised so easily. That is the most respected old duke in the empire, and his students are all over the world. She once heard from Hao Yue, who was in charge of Yingzheng, that if she got his help, it is no exaggeration to say that she got half of the country, but he didn't help anyone but the emperor.

"Why did he ... promise to help me? People like him don't nod because you beg him, do they? If he is such a person, the emperor will not respect him like that. " Su Jin asked pointedly.

Yao Zheng nodded: "Indeed, even if it is the Yao family's business, unless it is life and death, Grandpa never cares." Only this time, I'm talking about the alliance between you and me. Grandpa closed his eyes and wanted to think, saying that it is indeed possible for you to end the disaster in Sima, but only if you want to be the most politically influential woman in this country. "

Listen to this tone, this is another great prediction of Xuanxuan. However, the most politically influential woman? That's not me ... Su Jin rolled his eyes and disapproved. Even if one day she marries Wen Hao Yue and becomes a princess, there will be a queen and a princess in front.

Yao Zheng shook his head. "It's not impossible. I guess grandpa is not optimistic about the crown prince. "

"Ah?" Su Jin looked at Yao Zheng with a black line on his face ... Why is it more complicated to listen to his explanation? Even the crown prince was killed? The crown prince is deeply loved by the emperor. What does she think of him? He is like an emperor, and he is not like a short-lived man. Why does Yao Zheng's grandfather always predict something unreliable?

But ... well, since he agreed to help her, it is estimated that she will live happily in the imperial city until her divorce. Such a profound thing is beyond the care of an ordinary woman like her.

With a surname as a big backer, life is finally guaranteed. Su Jin thought of this layer and was in a good mood. What a surname said was mysterious and mysterious, and she soon left it behind.

Then Su Jin's good mood only lasted until the routine monthly health check-up in early August.

"Congratulations! You are pregnant with a little dragon grandson or a little dragon girl. " When Su Jin was happily told by the private doctor who won the Hao Yue, she only felt very dizzy, so she didn't see her side relieved ... This always trapped this slippery woman who could run away at any time.

As a result, Master Wen's prediction soon came true. In order not to wear a wedding dress with a big belly, we can only advance the wedding date. When does choose the auspicious day of the ecliptic, and then the emperor's royal approval reached Su Jin and Hao Yue, she deliberately calculated the date. After only two months and 28 days of marriage, she met a surname ... Su Jin's hair stood on end.

Fortunately, it is now 2 1 century, and the material is extremely rich. Although the wedding was sudden, it was not rushed to prepare. However, the jewelry worn by the royal family at the wedding is a national treasure antique, so there is no need to buy it now.

The only handmade wedding dress that needs more time was designed by Mandeli, an international fashion designer, with foresight before Murong Ling. After the news came out, Su Jin only had to choose from several already conceived designs.

However, to Su Jin's special regret, members of the royal family had to go to the ancestral temple to receive a big gift when they got married. If the man has a rank, he can wear a military uniform, but the woman must wear a crimson antique Hanfu, so there is no room for designing a big wedding dress. The white dress with fashionable design and exquisite tailoring can only be worn at the wedding banquet hosted by the guests in the state banquet hall of Worry-Free Palace after the big ceremony is completed.

Anyway, before Su Jin remarried, she missed the gorgeous wedding dress.

Busy, the whole country and even the whole world are paying attention to this grand century wedding. The royal spokesman reported the wedding preparation process to the public responsibly every week, and the newspaper also dutifully tracked the modern fairy tales.

There is a lot of pressure, so the nerves must be thick. This is Su Jin's conclusion after being tossed by the media for some time. The winning poker face didn't hold, so he stopped his work and laughed.

After trying it on and making numerous modifications, Su Jin's dress was finally finished one week before the wedding. With the help of Wen Hao Yue, she was not very excited to open the beautifully packaged box, but she accidentally opened a completely unexpected exquisite white wedding dress, which is Su Jin's favorite one in Mandeli's design. Later, I knew it couldn't be used, so I didn't customize it.

He knew her regret, so he made this dress specially for her.

Su Jin looked back and stared at the victory, and the surging waves in his heart welled up in his eyes.

At that time, it was a mess, and a thousand words came to my lips and became the shortest sentence: "I love you!" " "

When these words were finished, Su Jin froze. She loves him? When did this happen? Why doesn't she know? She always thought these three words were too heavy for her, and she couldn't have the courage to bear them all her life ... but now she said it, and in this chaotic situation. What the hell did she do?

Wen Hao Yue also paused, but when he saw Su Jin's expression, he quickly hugged her tightly before Su Jin changed her mouth and tried to express his feelings in a soft voice: "Me too."

Su Jin's brain completely collapsed this time. So, the two embraced silently for a long time in front of this white wedding dress symbolizing holiness.

Imperial memorabilia records: on 265438 10 +265438 10 +0, the third emperor of the empire won the battle to marry the commoner Su. Sue is the first woman in the history of China to marry into the royal family as a commoner.

In fact, when Su Jin and Hao Yue walked out of the ancestral temple hand in hand, we could say that Cinderella's fairy tale was over, but history had just begun.

(End)
