I really didn't take the emperor of the enemy country as a stand-in

In the plum grove, the cold wind blew a faint fragrance, and finally lingered between the two of them.

Wen Yao likes plums.Each plum tree in this plum grove is a precious variety carefully selected from all over the country.However, none bloomed more beautifully than Wen Yao.

Zhong Lan naturally knew that he opened his tail like a peacock today, probably on purpose.

Wen Yao is always prone to overthinking, perhaps because of that part of his soul.He picked up a bit of snow on the branch, his fingertips were wet, and he said casually: "Since Your Majesty has returned to the court, I will retreat from the previous court. These days, my regent has no proper status, and I am no longer fit to show my face... "

"Wen Yao."

Zhong Lan suddenly called out.Although his voice was soft, but determined and sincere, the clear voice seemed to hit Wen Yao's heart, making him suddenly awake, eyes wide open, and looking at Zhong Lan.

Zhong Lan smiled at him, his eyes bent into the shape of the moon: "You don't need to test me. In front of you, I never call myself Zhen."

Wen Yao's reserved, decent and seductive expression finally disappeared, his eyes were wet, like a little wild wolf that has found its master, and finally found its own embrace amidst sharp claws and uneasy struggle.

"I understand what you want." Zhong Lang was about to tell him about the queen.

Suddenly, a finger touched his lips.

"Your Majesty, you can make an order." Wen Yao squinted his eyes and approached softly, "No words are needed."

Zhong Lan: "?"

Suddenly, a hairpin made of plum branches appeared in Wen Yao's palm, exactly the same as the bodhi wood hairpin.Wen Yao approached, and inserted the hairpin into Zhong Lan's bun.

Two identical hairpins echoed each other in their hair.

"Your Majesty, your dowry has already been given to me." Wen Yao smiled and bit his earlobe, "If the entire Luo Kingdom was not enough, then this is my dowry."

He whispered in Zhong Lan's ear: "Marry me."

The date has been set, but the Ministry of Rituals has encountered difficulties. The most important thing is that there is no precedent. No one knows how to treat a male queen, or a queen who can hold power.

Early in the morning, the servant of the Ministry of Rites learned that Shangshu was "suddenly caught in a cold and unable to stand", and his colleagues asked for leave one after another.Those courtiers who knew about Nanqiong's old affairs back then hid like turtles, leaving only a group of newcomers who were ignorant and didn't know about the relationship between Wen Yao and Zhong Lan.

"The date of the ceremony is set to be [-] days later, and the dress has already been prepared, but this phoenix crown is really rare. In the past, the phoenix crowns of every country were passed down from generation to generation. After the ceremony, they will be received in the Queen's Palace, waiting for the next generation After the monarch is established, the queen mother will pass on the phoenix crown. The most gorgeous phoenix crown at present should be the one from the original Xin Kingdom, but this style..."

The servant naturally knew what the problem was: this phoenix crown on a man's head is too ridiculous.

A young and ignorant junior said: "I don't think there is anything to worry about. If you are a queen, then both men and women must respect the ancestral system. This is also respect for your majesty. This phoenix crown must be worn."

From this, it can be seen that Shangchao is standing at the back, a dazed young man who has not even seen the honor of the "Queen" herself.Wen Yao hid behind a screen in those days when he replaced Zhong Lan as regent, and Li Quan relayed all his words, no wonder they were ignorant of his brutality.

The servant thought to himself: This kind of respect is nothing more than folding one end to match the other, but who dares to bend the edges and corners of the devil?

"You don't need to bother about this matter, I will discuss it with His Majesty." He could only bear it painfully.

On the [-]th, it will definitely be too late to redo the phoenix crown.The servant asked the craftsman to come up with a plan overnight, and changed the phoenix crown into a style that is not obtrusive for men to wear. Within three days, the blueprint came out, and he immediately went to the palace to ask His Majesty for instructions.

Sure enough, Zhong Lan thought the same way, and praised his work again and again.He was also worried that he would be unhappy if Wen Yao was allowed to wear women's clothing according to the ancestral system, and everyone in the world watched him.

"Li Quan, take the servant of the Ministry of Rites to fetch the phoenix crown, and order the craftsmen to reform it as soon as possible."

Li Quan looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will not work."

Both Zhong Lang and the Minister of Rites showed puzzled expressions: "Why?"

Li Quan's eyes wandered, and he whispered: "The phoenix crown has been taken away, I'm afraid no one else can get it back except you."

Who took it away?

Besides Wen Yao, who else could it be?

Why did he take the phoenix crown so early?

When Zhong Lang returned to the harem, he saw that there were many palace people around Wen Yao's dormitory, and it was very busy with people coming and going.When those palace people saw Zhong Lan coming, they all knelt down and saluted.

"What are you doing?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has sent many samples of dresses, and the nobleman is trying them on one by one and carefully selecting them."

Zhong Lan's heart moved, he waved them all to retreat, and quietly walked into Wen Yao's sleeping hall by himself.After passing through layers of screens, he finally walked into the inner room. A huge bronze mirror fell in front of the window, and a fiery red figure was arranging his skirts facing the bronze mirror.

"Your Majesty is down."

The appearance of the bell ring was reflected in the bronze mirror, and the eyes of the two intertwined and collided in the air through the blurred reflection.

There are no palace servants in the house.

Wen Yao was waiting for him.

Zhong Lan understood, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on Wen Yao's head.

His throat was dry: "I wanted someone to change the phoenix crown into a man's style. You put it on yourself so early?"

"Today I have to choose a dress. Only by wearing a phoenix crown can I see which one is the most suitable and matches."

"But this..."

The second half of Zhong Lan's sentence was cut off in his throat.Wen Yao turned around slowly, those eyes tugged at his heartstrings as if seductive.The phoenix crown was very gorgeous and heavy, and the crystal and beautiful beads hung on his forehead, half covering his bewitching eyes, like sections of broken but strong picture scrolls.

It was only then that Zhong Lan discovered that Wen Yao's dress was not an ordinary men's dress.It is between men's clothing and women's clothing. Although it is wide and solemn, it has a narrow waist, and it matches the complicated and gorgeous phoenix crown on the head.

"Your Majesty, does this look good?"

Zhong Lan raised his eyes slightly: "Wen Yao, I've said it all, you don't need to test it..."

"This is not a temptation." Wen Yao interrupted him.

Zhong Lan: "?"

Wen Yao Shiran walked in front of him, and gently lifted a tuft of hair by his ear.Not only was he wearing a waist-tightening dress and a phoenix crown, but he also had a faint sweet aroma on his body, as if he had added a few spoonfuls of sugar.

Delicious, beautiful, arousing people's desire.

"This is not a temptation, but a seduction." Wen Yao said generously in his ear, "Are you hungry?"

Zhong Lan's lower abdomen produced a sense of emptiness in unison.He stared into Wen Yao's eyes, contradictory and addicted.

There is only one thought in mind.

Damn, how is this an attack?

The servant of the Ministry of Rites has been haggard due to working overtime recently.

Therefore, when his subordinates rushed to tell him that something happened to the uniform, the anger accumulated for a long time broke through the last line of defense in an instant, making him furiously attack the case.

"Is it the one who doesn't open his eyes and can't even do this thing well?"

His hands shrunk their necks and remained silent.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites snorted, feeling sad, and found that no matter how angry he was, he could only continue to work and fix the mess.So, his voice became angry and worried: "What happened to the dress?"

The subordinate swallowed his saliva, but hesitated to speak.

The Minister of Rites had no choice but to change the question: "Who broke the dress?"

I can answer this time.He craned his neck timidly: "Your Majesty."

Minister of Rites: "?"

Dress redo is not as troublesome as Fengguan.Zhong Lan told the Ministry of Rites that there was no need to change the phoenix crown, as both he and the queen liked it very much.

The entire etiquette department was at a loss, but they did it anyway.

There are still ten days before the ceremony, everything is quiet and peaceful, the days are busy, fulfilling and dull.

The whole country was beaming with joy.Everyone wants to see what the queen who can capture the legendary "man behind the scenes" Xin Guojun looks like.It is said that he is a man, and it is said that he can still go to court and participate in politics.

"Luo Guojun" died in the Yan Kingdom before, although rumors spread and many people knew that he was not dead, but Wen Yao no longer has an identity in the world.

After that, he will live by his side as Zhong Lan's queen.

Everyone is counting the arrival of the ceremony.

However, eight days before the ceremony, civil unrest broke out.

The origin of the incident turned out to be Zhou Yi.

At that time, Zhou Yi sent the two Zhou family children to the people to hide in order to restrain and take revenge on Zhong Lang. Only the most core veterans of the Yan Kingdom knew about it.Zhong Lang would not press these old ministers, because Yan State was the overlord before, even if it was incorporated and cleaned up, the original organization remained in many places. The people of the country rebelled.

Zhong Lan never thought about these two children.

Until the early morning of that day, the watchman was walking on the street in the early morning with gongs and drums, and suddenly found that there were strange papers on the notice board at the gate of the city. When he looked closely, it turned out to be an arrogant notice from the kidnappers.

"The safety of the young children of the Zhou family depends entirely on His Majesty."

The original Yan people in the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.The veteran hurriedly asked someone to confirm the hiding place of the two children, but found that there was a solidified black blood stain in the yard.

The whole family who pretended to be the children's family and took care of them were all killed, leaving no one behind.The two children were nowhere to be seen.

The atmosphere in Ascension Cloud Hall was very serious.There was a small meeting in the hall today, and the participants were all former confidantes of Xin Guo and Nan Qiong.

"Your Majesty, this was done by the kidnappers, and the old people of Yan Kingdom cannot blame you."

Zhong Lan shook his head: "If, if I really want to pull out the nails planted by Zhou Yi with short-term pain, and want to minimize the loss as much as possible, what will I do?"

"Let the child's whereabouts remain unknown, and then conjure up a group of inexplicable robbers out of thin air, blame the robbers, and pretend not to know." Wen Yao sat beside him and took the words naturally.

The faces of the courtiers below changed immediately.

Someone said: "But the Empress Conferment Ceremony is imminent, even if Your Majesty wants to attack the Zhou family's children, why would you choose this time?"

Beside, an old voice said with a wry smile: "For those who believe that His Majesty did it, this will become a reason for us to carefully plan and excuse ourselves."

There was no sound in Shengyun Hall.

This post-closing ceremony was a strange one.The male queen, the male queen who can be regent, the male queen with a mysterious background.

For things that are not clear or understood, most people will think that this is just a cover for other purposes.

After the unification, Zhong Lang tried his best to treat all countries as equals, but because of Zhou Yi's dying arrangement, he inevitably became more wary of the former Ministry of Yan.Cleaning, disrupting, and reassignment, but the country of Yan originally had a vast territory and a large population. No matter what, there were people from the country of Yan from as low as the pavilion chief to as high as the northern generals.

Maybe some people will be recruited by Xin Guo after judging the situation, but Zhong Lang doesn't know how many people are loyal to the Zhou family in their hearts.Once a scale is formed, it will more or less cause riots.

Outside the hall, the chief guard hurriedly greeted him, and knelt down as soon as he entered the hall.

"Your Highness, the generals defending the four cities have lost contact."

Two hours ago, as soon as Zhong Lang received the news of the kidnappers, he ordered people to count the officials at all levels and asked them to reply immediately, while monitoring the senior officials in the capital.However, for the generals defending the city, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. In such a short period of time, it is difficult for Zhong Lang to do anything about them.

The chief guard's throat was a bit dry, and his voice was hoarse: "In addition, there is a letter from the Lord of Ice River City in the north, and the words in the letter are beyond words."

Zhong Lan said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"

"The letter stated that His Majesty violated the agreement, and they have the right not to obey the imperial court anymore."

A person next to him sternly said, "Absurd! The news is not confirmed. How do they know that His Majesty ordered someone to kill and kidnap?"

"It is written in the letter that the whereabouts of the Zhou family's children are very secretive. If it weren't for His Majesty who controls the entire empire, who would know that the blood of the Zhou family's royal family is hidden in that ordinary family?"

Zhong Lan's breathing stagnated, and somehow, what he was worried about finally happened.

Someone can know.

The tasker who has seen this world and this book is here again.
