You are as gentle and cool as the moon

Huaguo held the enthronement hall, the fifth prince Zhao Yize officially became the emperor, and seven days later, a queen conferring ceremony will be held for An Qingling.

In the past few days, he has been busy with various matters such as enthronement, ancestor worship, funeral and post-war, and he has no time to visit An Qingling in Da Sima Mansion.

Today was the first opening of the dynasty, and he announced in court that Anthony would be posthumously named the Duke of An, and that An Bulie would inherit the title and be elected as the new Grand Sima.

After coming down to court, he personally came to An Guogong's mansion to bring An Qingling into the palace.

An Qingling held a fan to cover her face, bowed her knees and saluted: "Good luck, Your Majesty."

"Qing Ling, why are you like this?"

"The concubine has lost her beauty, so it is not suitable for face saints."

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Yize said boldly, "I have known you since I was a child, and we are childhood sweethearts with deep feelings. No matter what you become, I will always love you."

An Qingling asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty really won't dislike him?"

"It's too late for me to love you, so why would I despise you?"

Zhao Yize said confidently, "Your beauty is not just about your beauty, I am not a superficial person."

"Your father sacrificed for the country. I am very moved. I have also decided to confer on your mother-in-law as a first-rank lady on the day of the pawn ceremony, so that all the children of your natal family will be promoted to rank."

"Qing Ling, quickly show me how much precious beauty you have sacrificed for me."

Qiu Qiu and Tong Dong looked at each other, a little touched and also a little expectant, hoping that the emperor would still treat each other affectionately after seeing the queen's disfigurement.

"The concubine obeys the order." An Qingling slowly removed the fan.

Zhao Yize was startled suddenly, his face turned green and then red at a speed visible to the naked eye.He took a step back with wide eyes, trying to suppress his reaction.

He took a deep breath, forced a smile and said, "Ai, Concubine Ai is indeed... quite beautiful, Zhenzhen, of course I..."

He realized that he was incoherent, so he quickly shut up.He took a peek at An Qingling, and saw that her half intact face was full of disappointment.

He said guiltyly: "I just didn't expect to be like this, it was an unexpected shock, not because of your own appearance."

"My concubine, the left side of your face is still the same, it is in sharp contrast with your right side, it looks even more beautiful."

"So you are complementary, plus and minus points, and overall you are still as cute as before."

"Really? Then take a closer look, can you bear it?" An Qingling turned around, deliberately letting him look at her right cheek.

Zhao Yize plucked up the courage to look over, and saw that it was a wrinkled piece of fuzzy flesh with a little red thread, very leaky and horrible.

Although he felt sad for what happened to her, he still couldn't look directly at her ugliness.

He felt that if he kept looking at it like this, he would be ruined by nausea sooner or later.The only thing he can comfort her now is the position of queen, but his heart has been shaken.

He doesn't really want his queen to be a disfigured ugly woman.

Even if he doesn't care about it or dislike it, he still can't take her to meet civil and military officials and foreign envoys, that would be too embarrassing for him.

But if he repented temporarily, it would be difficult to explain to the world if she was only allowed to live in the harem as an imperial concubine. After all, both her father and her sacrificed their lives to save him.

Thinking of facing such a queen for the rest of his life, and thinking that future generations would laugh at his queen as the ugliest wife of all kings, he felt very sad.

He was so sad that he didn't have the heart to comfort and encourage others, because he himself needed to be comforted and encouraged before he could accept this kind of thing calmly.

Seeing his distressed expression, An Qingling said, "Your Majesty, do you still want my concubine to go back to the palace with you?"

Zhao Yize said duplicity: "Of course I do, you are the first woman I marry, so you can't stay outside the palace without going home."

An Qingling said expressionlessly: "Qiu Qiu and Tong Dong are ready to enter the palace."

"Yes, ma'am!" The maids immediately picked up their bags.

Zhao Yize smiled awkwardly, and deliberately came to An Qingling's left to lead her back to the palace.

"Aifei, that... where did Ding Huanxiang go?"

"She's in the room opposite, does His Majesty miss her?"

Zhao Yize stopped and looked at the other room: "I didn't miss her, but you are not in the mansion, so it's not appropriate to keep her here, why don't you bring her into the palace together?"

An Qingling didn't say anything, but just raised her hand to signal Qiu Qiu to ask Ding Huanxiang to come out.

Ding Huanxiang seemed to know that she was going to enter the palace a long time ago, and immediately walked out with the package on her back.

"Long live the emperor!"

"Stay flat, you also go into the palace together to serve the empress."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ding Huanxiang smiled slightly.

Zhao Yize also smiled, took the lead out of the mansion and helped An Qingling board the carriage.

He stared at the fan in her hand for a while, and suggested: "Aifei, why don't you wear a mask instead? It saves you the trouble of always covering your face with a fan."

"The concubine obeys the order." An Qingling's face was light.

Zhao Yize saw that she had a bad face, and felt sorry for himself: "Don't get me wrong, of course I don't mind your appearance, but I'm afraid that if you walk in the palace like this, you will attract more or less attention."

"Isn't it conspicuous to wear a mask?"

"That's different. Your dignity shouldn't be easily seen by others, and it's more noble to maintain a sense of mystery."

An Qingling looked into his eyes: "Your Majesty, do you still love concubines?"

Zhao Yize swallowed his saliva: "Why don't I love you? I have already said that I am not a superficial person. I have a deep relationship with you, how can I be alienated because of your change of appearance?"

"What's more, you and your father-in-law are kind to me, and I will never bully you in this life."

An Qingling curled his lips: "So, you will still give the concubine the title of queen?"

Zhao Yize felt that her smile was really weird and sinister with this face on her face.

He nodded helplessly: "Of course, I said before that as long as I am the son of heaven, you must be my queen. I am the emperor of ninety-five years, and I must keep my word."

"Very good." An Qingling smiled lightly, "The concubine thanked His Majesty."

Zhao Yize forced a smile: "Have you ever heard that because of my injury that day, I temporarily suffered from the fire dragon's inability to move?"

An Qingling seemed a little surprised: "Your Majesty, are you not joking?"

"Why would I take this kind of thing as a joke?" Zhao Yize pretended to be displeased, "Do you really not know or do you despise me?"

An Qingling held back her smile and said, "Your Majesty, of course my concubine will not despise you. I have never heard of your problem before, so I was a little surprised."

Zhao Yize asked arrogantly: "Didn't your brother tell you?"

"Second brother and his concubine have always talked less, so he probably wouldn't dare to spread His Majesty's faults everywhere."

Zhao Yize nodded: "The imperial physicians have said that I can still lift it up in the future, but before that, Concubine Ai must hold back her loneliness."

"The minister and concubine follow the order."

Zhao Yize added: "If you still don't recover within five years, I will choose the best one among my nephews to be your son, and raise him as a prince."

"The emperor is far-sighted, and his concubines admire him."

Zhao Yize felt that after the disfigurement, An Qingling became much more obedient than before, and he couldn't get used to it for a while.He didn't know whether he liked her more mischievous or well-behaved, he only knew that he missed her beauty very much.

"You have been disfigured, and I have been killed. We are a couple of fate. I hope that the world will be peaceful in the future, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. It can be regarded as a blessing to survive the catastrophe."

An Qingling asked earnestly: "Your Majesty, you have always known that my concubine is a person who loves freedom and playfulness. I don't know if I can go out of the palace to visit relatives and friends often after becoming a concubine."

Zhao Yize didn't want to lock her up in the palace to see her day and night: "You can leave the palace if you want, as long as you come back on time and don't cause trouble."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." An Qingling's smile was much more real this time.

A few days later, Xiao Wenzhu and Xiao Jiale entered the palace together to attend the empress's canonization hall.

As soon as Zhao Yize saw Xiao Jiale, he had an idea, and immediately sent eunuchs to meet her.

Accompanied by Xiao Wenzhu, Xiao Jiale came to see him: "May your Majesty be blessed!"

"Hurry up and get rid of the courtesy!" Zhao Yize asked eagerly, "Jewel Wizard, I have a serious illness that needs your treatment, I hope you can do your best, and I will never treat you badly!"

Xiao Jiale: "May I ask what intractable diseases His Majesty suffers from?"

Zhao Yize looked at Xiao Wenzhu with a blushing face, and said in a low voice: "I can't lift my fire dragon, and I don't even have a reaction, it's really embarrassing. Wizard, you must heal me, the royal incense depends on you !"

Xiao Jiale said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Caomin is not a god, and not all ailments can be cured. But Caomin will try his best to heal His Majesty, and I hope I can help you."

Zhao Yize pleaded: "You have to go all out, I can't be unable to lift it all the time, otherwise it's not a big deal for the empress, but a big problem for causing civil strife!"

"If I don't have any heirs, the clan's children will stare at each other and want to fight against each other. When Xia Guo sends troops to invade, Hua Guo will fall into internal and external turmoil, which is not good for the people."

"So please be merciful, be sure to heal my fire dragon, and let me regain my former masculinity!"

Xiao Jiale nodded: "Caomin will do everything he can, but the gem used by Caomin to use witchcraft is still in the hands of the empress, and she needs to return it first."

Zhao Yize didn't understand: "Why is your gemstone in the Queen's place?"

Xiao Wenzhu explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the empress was worried that the wizard would not heal the late emperor, so she wanted to keep the gems to prevent the wizard from escaping."

Zhao Yize: "Why didn't the wizard return the gem after healed the late emperor?"

Xiao Wenzhu: "Because the lady still wants to ask the wizard to help Mr. An to see a doctor. Mr. An has fought for the country all his life, and his body has long been exhausted. Although he looks very strong on the surface, he is actually very weak."

"There is such a thing?" Zhao Yize looked at Xiao Jiale, "Then why are the wizards always unwilling to help others, but only willing to help if the queen asks for gems as a condition?"

The corners of Xiao Jiale's mouth curled up: "The abilities of grassroots people are only average. You can't help others every time you encounter difficulties. This will not only damage your cultivation, but also bring disaster."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Yize smiled, "It's okay, I want the queen to return the gem later!"
