==Chapter 36 Promise==

Yongchang thirty-seventh year, April 16th.

This time, the Queen's birthday was jointly organized by Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites. Due to the frequent wars recently, everything except sacrifices was kept simple.

Every married woman in Beijing must attend the dinner.

Su Ling and Xiao Yu followed the palace officials to Kunning Palace.

At this time, there were only Sun Zhaoyi and Princess Changning in the palace. When Changning saw Su Ling, she couldn't help but smile and wave, "Emperor's sister-in-law!" Princess Changning only loved pearls. When she swayed, the pearl hairpin on her head also rang.

Sun Zhaoyi coughed lowly, "Changning, this is Kunning Palace, please follow some rules."

The little princess pursed her lips and sat upright.

Queen Chu smiled and said: "Chang Ning is only fifteen now, which is a lively age. My sister, please don't restrain her all the time."

Sun Zhaoyi follows the good deeds and says, "I will listen to my empress."

Su Ling and Xiao Yu entered the door one after another and saluted together to say hello. Then, Su Ling presented the set of December Flower God Cups.

There are twelve December Flower God Cups in total, all of which are thin and covered with white glaze.

Twelve kinds of flowers are painted on the outer wall with blue and white colors, namely narcissus, winter jasmine, peach blossom, peony, pomegranate, lotus, orchid, osmanthus, chrysanthemum, hibiscus, rose and plum blossoms, one flower cup. Even though Empress Chu was used to seeing rare and rare treasures, she couldn't help but notice that she had two different intentions. (1)

Queen Chu smiled and said: "I can tell at a glance that Ah Ling chose you carefully."

"As long as the queen likes it."

Princess Changning looked strange and couldn't help but said: "Where did the royal sister-in-law find such an exquisite object?"

Su Ling said: "I also asked my brother to find him."

When the Queen of Chu heard the word "brother", she said, "I remember Mr. Su is already past his prime, can he get engaged?"

Su Ling nodded, "We haven't gotten engaged yet, but we are discussing it, and it will be soon..."

Speaking of this, Princess Changning's ears suddenly twitched and she interjected nonchalantly: "Whose girl is she from?"

‌‌No matter how gentle the question is, it has changed its flavor.

Princess Su Huaian, who was in the capital during the Ming Dynasty, was no exception.

"Changning!" Sun Zhaoyi frowned.

The Queen of Chu glanced at Princess Changning and teased: "Speaking of which, Changning has also reached the age to discuss marriage."

Princess Changning subconsciously touched the hairpin on her head, blinked, and murmured: "I, I didn't mean that. Did Changning make a mistake..."

The Empress of Chu was amused by her cute and innocent look, and raised her hand to pinch her face, "I really want to know, among our eldest sons, who can be a princess?"

Sun Zhaoyi looked at her daughter and couldn't help but sigh.

After talking for a while, Sun Zhaoyi saw that Empress Chu was always hesitant to speak, so she knew that she had something to tell Princess Jin privately.

She coughed lightly, pulled Chang Ning to stand up, and said: "The palace banquet will be in an hour. I have some medicine to drink today, so I will go back to Zhongcui Palace."

The Queen of Chu glanced at her worriedly, "But is it serious again?"

Sun Zhaoyi said: "It's all old problems, it doesn't matter."

After Sun Zhaoyi and Princess Changning left, Queen Chu sighed and said, "Aling, it will be some time before you and Sanlang get married."

After saying that, Empress Chu glanced at her belly quietly, with gentle eyes and no reproach, but Su Ling felt like something was being stabbed into her body. The cold was biting.

Su Ling lowered her head, raised her head again after a moment, and said slowly to Empress Chu: "I actually have two things in my mind today that I want to tell my mother."

Empress Chu took her hand and said softly: "My child, why are you polite to me? Just say it."

Su Ling's lips had a hint of ‌, "‌I went to Prince Cheng's Mansion to present a gift two days ago. I saw the pink and cute little emperor's grandson. She really liked it. I couldn't help but feel anxious for His Highness, but the doctor said that I I am weak and need to rest for a while, so I thought it would be better to take in two concubines for His Highness. What does the Queen think?"

Hearing this, Empress Chu smiled, patted her hand and said, "It is really his blessing that Sanlang married you."

Xiao Yu nodded and drank tea without saying a word.

"It is what a concubine should do to share His Highness's worries." Su Ling said: "Then... I wonder if there is anyone who can choose the queen?"

The Queen of Chu pretended to be thoughtful, and then said for a long time: "Speaking of it, there are two people, I think it is acceptable. One is Wen Caining, the daughter of Wen Dashou, the young minister of Taichang Temple, who is seventeen years old, and the other is an official Zuo Qingqing, the daughter of Zuo Yang, the minister on the right side of the ministry, is also seventeen. Both of them are excellent in appearance and talent. Does Aling know about them?"

After all, Su Ling is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. The Queen of Chu also cares about her face. The princess has no heirs yet, so the status of the concubine should not be too high.

The daughter of the fourth-rank Taichang Temple minister, and the daughter of the third-rank right minister, are not from aristocratic families, and neither of them is comparable to the Su family.

Just right.

Su Ling said: "I have met them once, and they get along very well."

Seeing that she was so smart and open-minded, Empress Chu couldn't help but feel a little more interested in her eyes, "In that case..."

At this moment, the man who seemed to be aloof from the incident suddenly put the tea cup on the table and said lightly, "Wait a little longer."

The Queen of Chu looked at him and said, "What are you waiting for?"

Waiting means refusing.

Xiao Yu said slowly: "Mother, please let your son think about it again."

The tone is calm, but powerful.

Chu Houxiao glared at him, "With me and Aling working together, all your hard work just now was in vain?"

Xiao Yu stood up and said, "I will apologize to my mother."

Xiao Yu personally rejected the matter. Although he was disobeying Empress Chu's wishes, Empress Chu would not lose face because of it. He only said softly: "It's just commonplace. Talking about apology is serious, but Sanlang, you have really wasted Aling’s heart.”

The corners of Xiao Yu's lips slowly widened and he said: "It's because I don't know what is good and what is good."

Su Ling was stunned when she saw the man in front of her, her heart felt like it was being pinched, and she kept curling up.

She took a breath, came back to her senses, and quickly smoothed things over: "Before I had time to discuss it with His Highness, I came to tell my mother that I didn't think well."

The Empress of Chu nodded at Xiao Yu again and said: "You are not thinking carefully, you are clearly a good person who has been taken advantage of."

After the dinner, Xiao Yu and Su Ling returned to Prince Jin's Mansion.

The two were silent in the carriage for a long time before Xiao Yu finally said, "When did you see the doctor?"

Su Ling was startled when he heard this, and after a while, he said: "I saw it once last month."

Xiao Yu took her hand and lowered his eyes at her, "He said you are weak and need to rest?"

Su Ling avoided his probing gaze and admitted honestly, "No, the doctor said I'm fine. Maybe it's not time yet and asked me to wait."

Su Ling added, "Maybe we'll have it later."

"I heard for the first time that the child was waiting for me." Xiao Yu gave a slight sigh, with a frivolous expression between his lips and teeth, and pinched her waist gently and gently, and Su Ling secretly pushed her. He pointed his hand in the direction of the coachman and mouthed: We'll talk about it when we get home.

The light smile turned into a chuckle, and he asked knowingly: "What did you say when you go home?"

Su Ling's demeanor was still dignified, but her face and neck were as red as the sky full of red clouds. She refused to look at him again.

The sound of the carriages and horses gradually faded away. The driver tightened the reins, sighed softly, and turned around: "Your Highness, Princess, we have arrived."

Su Ling lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage without looking back.

Xiao Yu followed her.

The two stepped on the clear shadow of the full moon and returned to Chang'en Hall.

Su Ling sat in the dowry, tilted her head and removed her earrings, and said softly: "Fuying has prepared the water. Your Highness, please go take a bath first."

Xiao Yuxing walked behind her, looked at her delicate face in the bronze mirror, and said seriously: "What about you?"

Su Ling was silent.

The silence was followed by exclamations and the sound of earrings falling to the ground.

As expected, a bath that tests concentration is really not suitable for a newlywed couple. When they returned to the couch, their clothes were still wet.

The blue bricks in the inner room are full of water and footprints of various sizes.

Xiao Yu hugged her and kissed her. Once the love bath opened, it was like the roar of the waves and the capsizing of the sailboat.

Su Ling put her hand against his hot chest. Under the man's thin underwear, he could see his broad back and lean waist.

The girl's voice was almost trembling, "Why didn't Your Highness respond today?"

Xiao Yu looked at the stubborn girl in his arms and told the truth: "Aling, I want you to give birth to me."

His warm palm touched her belly twice.

Su Ling's eyes turned red inexplicably when she looked at his deep eyebrows. The emotions that had been broken for a long time were on the verge of disintegration in an instant.

Xiao Yu put his arm around her waist, leaned on her shoulder in the most tender gesture, bit her ear lovingly, and snaked his way down her slender and fair neck. The itching was unbearable, and Su Ling couldn't help but groan.

My breathing was messed up, and the candlelight was shining brightly.

They had countless romantic affairs where they could not control themselves, but there was never a night that could make Su Ling so confused that she thought that two people could really become one.

She hugged him with some nostalgia.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yu got up and went to the study.

Yang Di and Lu Ze are both there.

Yang Di said slowly: "The Mu family has given up all its capital this time and handed over all the copper mines. If this continues, His Majesty may really decide to establish a reserve."

Lu Zedao: "Just wait, the King of Yan will not sit idly by and ignore him. After all, he has taken over the title, and the cabinet is all following him."

Yang Di hesitated for a while and then said: "Yes, in a while, there will probably be good news from Prince Yan's Mansion."

Speaking of this, Lu Ze said slowly: "The Queen has not mentioned the matter of having a concubine to Your Highness?"

"I mentioned it." Xiao Yu's Adam's apple moved slightly, "But I refused."

Lu Ze couldn't help teasing: "The princess is indeed the daughter of Su Jingbei, the daughter of a general. She never loses a battle."

Admittedly, when Lu Ze said this, he was just teasing.

Unlike Lu Ze, Yang Di considered for a moment and said seriously: "I know that Your Highness has always been thinking about the Duke of Zhenguo, but you must not underestimate the importance of your grandson..."

Xiao Yu was inexplicably irritated and could not help but clenched his fists. He solemnly said, "There is no need to mention this matter again in the future. I will not take a concubine until the princess is pregnant."

At the moment, Xiao Yu just felt that if the mistress of a high family was pregnant, the lord would not take a concubine, so why did he wrong Su Ling? If the concubine is pregnant and gives birth to her eldest son, how should she deal with it?

Furthermore, he is seizing power and profit, and wants to conquer the world, so he cannot scheming against his wife one after another.

Yang Di continued to speak boldly, but Xiao Yu turned a deaf ear and looked out the window.

The window was wide open, and the scorching sun was shining slantingly, which was particularly dazzling. He subconsciously raised his hand to block his eyes——

When Qin Juan opened her eyes, the hand on her waist just tightened. You don't need to think about it to know that it is the emperor's hand.

She recalled her dream and raised the corners of her lips vaguely.

Awakening from a big dream, really a big dream.

It turns out that she was always wrong.

But even so, it didn't stop Qin Huan from getting annoyed with his hands for a moment.

She turned over and avoided his shackles.

Xiao Yu's hand fell empty, so he went to look for her again, hugged her, and said softly: "But you're awake?"

Qin Juan pretended to be asleep and did not answer.

Xiao Yu carefully touched her ear again.
