Queen's favorite

Qi Changle lowered his eyes and landed on the imperial decree in his hand.

The yellow silk was rolled up, and the content inside could not be seen clearly, but at this moment, Qi Changle held his breath slightly, as if he had some kind of premonition.

She didn't open the edict immediately, but trembled slightly with her fingertips, and looked up at Zhong Liyu.

"The content here..." She paused slightly, "Is it what the concubine thinks?"

Zhong Liyu chuckled, "How do I know which one you're thinking of?"

Then she touched Qi Changle's cheek, "Changle, tell me, which one are you thinking about?"

Qi Changle's eyes moved slightly, "Chenqie..." For some reason, she couldn't continue.

Zhong Liyu chuckled twice, his voice revealing connivance.

"Why don't you continue talking? Or do you think that what you think in your heart... I won't give it to you?"

Qi Changle is not sure.

At this moment, she has made it clear that Zhong Liyu loves herself, not ordinary love for pets, nor love for a new gadget, but serious, the kind of love she wants.

Now that Qi Changle didn't need to ask any more, Zhongliyu's feelings for her had already been revealed from her actions.

If he didn't like her, how could he be so close to her? If he didn't like him, how could Zhong Liyu have repeatedly declared her to be his servant, and even as the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he was willing to lie down and let Qi Changle do whatever he wanted.

The various moods of the other party that night are still reflected in her mind.

but……

Qi Changle also couldn't tell what he was hesitating or worried about.

Zhong Liyu didn't urge him, instead he talked about other things.

"Didn't I say it before, when I wake up, I will tell you something myself."

Qi Changle was startled slightly, thinking of that matter.

What Zhong Liyu said was about her relationship with Su Muhe.

"Yes." She replied softly, "The concubine said, I just want to hear His Majesty tell the concubine personally."

Zhong Liyu bent his lips, covering the blackness in his eyes.

"Then let me tell you."

Zhong Liyu did not urge Qi Changle to read the imperial decree immediately, but instead turned to other topics.

Slowly, she slowly told Qi Changle the things she hated and suffered the most.

What she once hated to the bone marrow was finally able to slowly fade away now.

Zhong Liyu trapped himself so much, and now he can finally let himself go.

Zhong Liyu originally thought that explaining such things to Qi Changle would make her feel very painful and even a little ashamed.After all, her life experience was so unbearable, and her birth was not blessed.

It can be said that there is nothing worse than her.

But unexpectedly, when she embraced the warm body in her arms and sniffed the sweet fragrance lightly, the unswerving emotions in Zhong Liyu's heart seemed to be soothed, and slowly calmed down.

She spoke softly with a kind of quietness and peace that she couldn't even imagine.

Qi Changle opened his eyes wide in astonishment.

She only guessed that there might indeed be some kind of connection between Zhong Liyu and Su Muhe, but she never expected that the two were relatives.

It has never been guessed that everything from Zhongliyu's secret savings to his success in ascension to the throne was inseparable from Su Muhe's hard work and help.

He doesn't have any grudges against Zhongliyu, he is really like a brother who loves his family, silently helping Zhongliyu, leading her to the highest position step by step.

Although Qi Changle had never actually seen it, but at this moment, she seemed to have caught a glimpse of Zhongliyu's difficulties in the past.

After all, one can imagine the difficulties in ascending to the throne as a woman.

Qi Changle opened his lips. For some reason, his heart suddenly ached.

She hugged Zhong Liyu back and whispered, "Did your Majesty have difficult years?"

Zhong Liyu didn't seem to expect that her first sentence would be such a question, so he was slightly startled, and then laughed lightly after a while.

"Hard work and difficulties...of course there are."

She was not a prince in the first place, and no matter how favored she was, she had no natural advantages.So going this route will be extremely difficult.

In addition, the queen doesn't like her, and Zhongliyu doesn't have the strength of her mother's family to help. The reason why she was able to get to that position step by step is indeed inseparable from Su Muhe and the Su family.

Later, Zhong Liyu finally won over some of her own power, but without Su Muhe, she would not have been able to take that step at all.

But with such a step-by-step approach, Zhongliyu got used to it.

Whether it's hard work, difficulties, daily toil, or enduring headaches, Zhong Liyu is used to it.

She had no place to confide in, and she was not allowed to show weakness, so gradually, she felt that it was nothing.

But now, when she heard Chang Le's worrying softly, her heart softened uncontrollably.

It's like removing all the entangled thorns.

Zhong Liyu leaned against her, silently chuckling.

She stroked Qi Changle's long hair, and said softly: "But it's all over."

In any case, now she has become a queen, those difficult days are over, and now she is the world.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, rubbing against Zhong Liyu like a small animal, with a soft expression, full of pity and distress.

She also showed such emotions before, but at that time she was pretending, acting, and trying to survive.

Qi Changle doesn't know and doesn't want to know about Zhong Liyu's affairs. To her, he is just a tool to win favor.

But now it's different.

When she was moved, she could no longer stay out of it.

Now thinking of what Zhong Liyu may have suffered, Qi Changle is in unbearable pain.

It really hurts.

Zhong Liyu moved his finger over and touched her cheek, probably sensing Qi Changle's mood, he couldn't help but chuckled.

She hoped that Qi Changle would be happy, but when the other party's concerns and sorrows were revealed because of caring for her, Zhong Liyu would feel a kind of abnormal satisfaction.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm telling you these things, Changle, not just to tell stories." She said with a smile in her tone, "After listening to this, I tried my best to hide the secrets that I never show to others, do you still feel that the thing in your hand is Imperial decree, can't I give it to you?"

Qi Changle paused, and after a while, he understood the meaning of Zhongliyu's words.

She pinched her fingers, a warm current filled with sourness in her heart, and she couldn't restrain her emotions for a while.

"His Majesty……"

She got it, got it all.

Zhong Liyu wants to tell her that she can confess to Qi Changle without hesitation about this kind of experience that she once hated to the bone, and even wished to get rid of it, so there is nothing she can't do for it.

It's just an imperial decree, it's just the position of a queen.

There is nothing Zhongliyu can't give Qi Changle.

Qi Changle closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

With a smile, Zhong Liyu rubbed her hair gently, "Open it and have a look?"

This time Qi Changle did not delay or hesitate any longer, but slowly unfolded the imperial decree.

The familiar handwriting came into her eyes little by little, Qi Changle's gaze flicked from the beginning, and then landed on the final jade seal.

Using her fingertips slowly, she scratched a mark.

It is the real will to confer the queen.

Qi Changle's eyes were sore, and the corners of his eyes were crimson.

Zhong Liyu's fingertips slid across the corner of her eyes, "Are you crying too?"

Qi Changle put down the imperial decree, turned around and fell into her embrace.

Her voice was muffled: "This is my concubine, happily."

Zhong Liyu laughed: "Okay, then be happy."

She hugged Qi Changle, and didn't mind the other party's loss of control at the moment, on the contrary, she was very happy to see Qi Changle showing a state of loss of control because of herself.

No matter what the emotion is, as long as it belongs to her.

"When do you want to hold the empress ceremony?"

Qi Changle was slightly stunned, "Concubine...you can do it anytime."

Indeed, any time is fine, after all, she hasn't thought about this matter yet, it came too soon.

"What about the palace? Are you going to move to Fengyi Palace?"

Fengyi Palace is the palace where every empress has lived.Located at the junction of the East and West Six Palaces, it is a real "middle palace".

Qi Changle was slightly startled, then shook his head hesitantly.

She hugged Zhong Liyu and whispered in his ear: "The concubine still wants to live in Changle Palace, is that okay?"

Zhong Liyu laughed: "Of course."

Qi Changle lowered her eyes and bent her lips. Leaning in Zhongli Yu's arms, she said softly and gently: "Because it was given to the concubine by His Majesty, and it was named after the concubine..."

Her lips moved slightly, and she swallowed the four words of token of love.

"It's fine to live here, just leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation." Zhong Liyu chuckled softly.

Then she said: "Speaking of it, there is one more thing."

Qi Changle raised his head slightly and looked at the other party.

Zhong Liyu pinched her chin smoothly, with an intoxicating light in his eyes.

"Chang Le, from now on, you don't need to use honorific titles for me, and you don't need to salute me when you see me, do you understand?"

Qi Changle was slightly surprised, and opened his eyes wide, "But this doesn't make sense."

Zhong Liyu gave a "tsk", and then sneered: "You think I'm the one who cares about these things?"

Indeed, if Zhong Liyu cared about these vain rituals, she would not call herself "I", and whether it was her attire or her own obedience, very few of them were bright yellow embroidered with dragon patterns, on the contrary, most of them were like The fancy clothes of ordinary royal family and nobles are so-so, it is difficult for people to guess that they are the clothes of the queen.

Qi Changle's eyelashes trembled slightly, he was a little hesitant, but at the same time, there was also some inexplicable joy that was rare.

"Concubine..."

Zhong Liyu's index finger touched her lips.

"Shh."

She looked like a smile but not a smile.

"From now on, if you mispronounce another title, then—"

Zhong Liyu raised the corners of his lips, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

"I'll punish you for opening your mouth..." She leaned close to Qi Changle's ear, and the remaining words fell into her ear gently.

Qi Changle blushed suddenly.

She raised her eyes, with shame and water in her eyes. "If Your Majesty said so, then the concubine wants to try it."

Zhong Liyu chuckled, with an undisguised smile on his face.

She pinched Qi Changle's chin, exerted strength with her arms, and brought him in front of her.

"It seems that it is time to punish him."

After that, she lowered her head and bit those red lips, then stuck the tip of her tongue, sucking from light to heavy.

Qi Changle closed his eyes, trembling slightly, enduring her demands.

Some silver threads flowed from the corner of the mouth to the neck.

Afterwards, Zhong Liyu slowly let go of her, her fingertips brushed the corner of Qi Changle's lips, the smile on her face deepened, and she said: "Changle, why don't you, just swallow it."

Qi Changle's cheeks seemed to be burning.

Zhongli Yu snorted and laughed, "Forget it this time, if you make a mistake again in the future, then..." She smiled, "You will be punished for one less bedtime."

Qi Changle: ...

But at this moment, she couldn't care less about having unnecessary embarrassment.She leaned against Zhong Liyu's arms, her eyes were slightly closed, her cheeks were flushed like peach petals.

Zhong Liyu leaned close to her ear with a soft voice: "Call me, listen?"

Qi Changle opened his eyes slightly, and pursed his red lips slightly.

Her heart was beating with joy, and then she said softly: "...A Yu."

Zhong Liyu hugged her tightly and bit her earlobe lightly.

"Call again."

"Ayu."

There was joy in Qi Changle's eyes, as if he had found warmth, and his mind was at peace.

……

After the imperial decree came down, the Queen's Hall immediately entered into intense preparations.

Although everyone was surprised, everyone fell silent after learning that the empress candidate was Concubine Jue.

If it was Concubine Jue... maybe it wouldn't be so surprising.

After all, she is No. 1 in the harem. Before her, no concubine could walk so close to Zhong Liyu, let alone serve her bed. She might never see Zhong Liyu.

Only Qi Changle can do what no one else can.

Therefore, if the queen is her, she will not be surprised.

From offering sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple, to setting up the treasure case, to the canonization ceremony of the day...

It's not fast, but it's busy and full.

Qi Changle wore a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown representing the empress, and walked up the steps slowly step by step.

She raised her head slightly, with ceremonial music in her ears, civil and military officials on both sides, and above... Zhong Liyu who was waiting for her.

The phoenix robe and phoenix crown are very heavy on her body, not to mention that she has to walk through the long Dan Bi to reach the top, which is undoubtedly very exhausting.

However, when Zhong Liyu stood above and looked over with lowered eyes, Qi Changle looked at her eyes, and felt that no amount of suffering was over.

Because she was there waiting.

Qi Changle walked up step by step, and the distance between Zhongliyu and Zhongliyu became closer and closer.

With a little smile in her eyes, she finally came to Zhong Liyu.

Zhong Liyu stretched out his hand to her.

Qi Changle put his hand in her palm, she raised her head with a real smile on her face.

"Ayu."

The canonization envoy on the side took over the imperial decree and unfolded it, and then began to read the decree.

Qi Changle has read these contents word by word, she is familiar with them, and has already memorized them in her heart.

When the last "Qin this" fell, Qi Changle should have knelt down and saluted.

However, Zhong Liyu suddenly grabbed her hand.

With a smile on the corners of the lips of the beautiful lady, she said directly: "You don't need to kneel."

She waved her hand, indicating that the canonization document and the queen's seal can be presented directly.

The envoys looked at each other in blank dismay, and originally wanted to say that this was not in line with etiquette, but when they touched Zhong Liyu's face, they all fell silent.

... Whatever is rude, His Majesty is the greatest courtesy.

So they shut up in silence and finished the rest of the matter in silence.

Zhong Liyu took Qi Changle's hand and intertwined her fingers.

Then, she took out half a piece of jade.

Qi Changle's eyes fell on Yu Jue, his eyes moved slightly, "This is..."

She is naturally familiar with it.It was given to her by Zhong Liyu when she became a concubine.

Half of it is with her, and the other half is with Zhongliyu.

And her title is also derived from this.

Qi Changle took out the half of the coin that he always wore by his side.

Zhong Liyu hooked the corners of his lips, pinched Yu Jue with his fingers, and aligned it.

Half of the flowers are good, and half of the moon is full.And at the moment they are also long-lived.

Zhong Liyu said softly: "Now the two are combined into one."

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly.

"Yes."

Zhong Liyu smiled and said, "Jue is a combination of two jades, and now you and I each have half of them. Changle, do you know what this means?"

Qi Changle looked at her with tenderness in her peach blossom eyes.

Zhongli Yu stared at her with black eyes.

"It means you belong to me, and I belong to you."

"Half Jue, half Yu (Yu)."

She hugged Qi Changle and kissed her lips when the ceremony was over.

Zhong Liyu once thought that he would end up alone all his life, and finally died of poison.

but now……

She met Qi Changle.

Jue does not refer to Changle.

It refers to herself.

She met her other half.

Zhong Liyu has always thought that the throne is lonely and cold.

She's at the top, but she's not having any fun.

But it's different now, she has someone to accompany her.

For a long time, for a lifetime.

The author has something to say: it is just right to finish the text here! !Next is the extra episode, some sweet daily routines will be dropped from time to time, such as disbanding the harem will be placed in the extra episode, because the words written here are still too abrupt, and then there is a plot that I want to write but it will not be available until the next draft I wrote it out, but the text (crossed out) can’t be written that long, so I decided to put it in the episode, before the dismissal of the harem

The current timeline is roughly, winter, snow, new year, new draft, dismissal of the harem (just the timeline is not in the order of the episode)

The front of the post-sealing is based on Baidu der, but the back is not. After all, who’s post-sealing hall is so short hahaha, but it’s overhead _(:з」∠)_
