The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1414: What status should be given to her?

Zhong Siyu glanced at the sky and said, "It's so fast. Then Princess Youning and Princess Zhuoyang will be caught in the rain before they even leave the palace."

Wan Lianxing said: "Don't worry about them, these two are just greedy, and their minds are not on praying for blessings at all."

"Your Majesty...really understands Princess Zhuoyang."

"When I was an official in Dalang, I went to the palace almost every day to drink tea and chat with the emperor. I have seen this man all the time. I can say that he grew up under my care. Apart from being willful, he doesn't have any major shortcomings."

Just as they stood up, light raindrops began to fall from the sky, but not heavily.

Wan Lianxing took Zhong Siyu's hand and squeezed it, "She is too thin. I will ask the imperial physician to check the Queen's pulse and see if there is anything wrong."

"I am not sick, I just couldn't bear to leave the emperor in Lingchen Temple, so... that's why I lost some weight."

"I miss you too!"

Zhong Siyu seemed very calm, but her little maid Zhu'er stared at Wan Lianxing with a suspicious look. She didn't believe it. From the laughter and noise just now, it was not difficult to tell that Wan Lianxing had been living a very comfortable life recently and probably forgot about their queen.

Wan Lianxing raised the fan in his hand and knocked it lightly on Zhu'er's forehead, "You are a child but you are not smart enough. Why are you making random assumptions? The queen was led astray by people like you."

Zhu'er felt pain and cried out "ouch", covering her forehead with her hands. It was strange, she couldn't think in a confused way. As long as she didn't think well of the emperor, the emperor would know it, and in the end it would be her forehead that would suffer.

Before Zhu'er could explain, Wan Lianxing had already pulled Zhong Siyu forward.

Wan Lianxing's hands were very hot, and his big hands were tightly holding Zhong Siyu's small hands. The heat from his palms was continuously transferred to Zhong Siyu's slender hands, but Zhong Siyu could not feel any warmth. She was cold all over, and her lips trembled slightly. Like a soulless puppet, she was pulled forward by Wan Lianxing with her whole body stiff.

She felt choked up in her heart and her eyes were sore, but she didn't dare to openly disobey Wan Lianxing.

In this palace, she didn't want to see Princess Zhuoyang, and she believed that Princess Zhuoyang didn't want to see her either. Although the two of them were not incompatible, neither of them could tolerate each other.

The raindrops gradually became more dense from the sporadic drizzle just now.

Zhong Siyu suddenly stopped, and Wan Lianxing was forced to stop as well. "What's wrong?"

Zhong Siyu stared at a plant on the ground and asked Wan Lianxing, "Your Majesty, can you still recognize what kind of flower this is?"

“Isn’t this the old crow petal?” The flowering period has passed, but the petals are still there. Although Wan Lianxing knows very little about flowers and plants, he can recognize this old crow petal at a glance.

Looking at the old crow petals that have already withered, only two green leaves are left, growing close to the ground, being washed away by the rain, and no different from weeds.

The raindrops hitting the crow's eye petals were like raindrops hitting Zhong Siyu's heart. She felt cold all over and even more desolate. Her tears slid down with the drizzle, and she looked at herself in the mirror and felt sorry for herself.

She stared at the old crow petal on the ground in displeasure for a moment, her shoulders trembling imperceptibly, her lips trembling, and her voice trembling as well, "Hand in hand in the drizzle, walking leisurely, leaning against the apricot blossoms outside the fence, looking up to each other, in their prime. The west wind and strong rain, the branches swaying, the leaves falling, the flowers still smiling, better than the old crows and fragrant bushes."

Wan Lianxing sighed helplessly. His queen should be the most fragile queen in history. She dared to claim second place, and no one dared to claim first place. "When the old crows came, it was still early in spring. She is simple but not arrogant. In my eyes, she is the best among flowers."

Wan Lianxing pointed to Zhong Siyu with the fan in his hand and said, "Queen, look at the leaves of this old crow petal. There are only two leaves, and they grow opposite each other. It is very similar to me and the queen. We grow together and watch each other. There is no room for a third leaf in the middle. If either of us is missing, we will be lonely. So the queen and I grow together and complement each other."

How could Zhong Siyu not be moved after hearing Wan Lianxing's words?

But the Princess Zhuoyang standing between them was like a wall that could not be pushed over or climbed over. Zhong Siyu, feeling as if she were facing a formidable enemy, could only endure it silently in her heart, until self-pity could not dispel the loss in her heart.

At this moment, her mind was still filled with the lively figure of Princess Zhuoyang in a yellow silk dress. Then, looking at her own pale and thin face, she felt embarrassed and lonely.

"Although the petals of this old crow are beautiful, they bloom early and fade quickly. In this imperial garden where hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, how can the emperor not love other flowers?"

"It can be faster than the Epiphyllum! Even the flowers that bloom wantonly will wither, and so will the old crow petals. Don't look down on this small old crow petal. In the next spring, it will still bloom as scheduled in the spring breeze and under the spring sun. No matter how many years of wind and rain it has experienced, and how many years of baptism it has endured, it is still itself, and it is still pure and elegant. Queen... Spring goes and autumn comes, the seasons change, the years alternate, and all things cycle. Don't be sad because of the blooming and withering of flowers. The world is full of flowers and they compete for beauty, which has nothing to do with me. What's more, there are several exotic flowers and trees in the imperial garden. I only take one of the three thousand weak waters. Yu'er... You can rest assured. Since I have made you the queen, as long as you don't abuse your power, abuse your power for personal gain, and bend the law for personal gain, you will always be my queen. As a begging queen, you should have confidence in yourself and should not compare yourself with other women. In my eyes, you should be the first among all women in the world."

"But Princess Zhuoyang..." Zhong Siyu regretted it the moment she opened her mouth, but she still did not avoid Princess Zhuoyang. She wanted to know what identity Princess Zhuoyang had here. She couldn't stand others blatantly snatching Wan Lianxing from her.

Wan Lianxing sighed again: "Princess Zhuoyang is begging alone, she can't compare with you. You have me, the power of the queen. She is stranded in a foreign country, unable to return to Dalang, nor can she marry into the southern Yan Kingdom. She is in a dilemma. Although there is a deep grudge between me and her father, the disaster will not affect my children. Since I have saved her life, I cannot let her fend for herself. I watched her grow up. When I first saw her, she was only this tall, with big round eyes." Wan Lianxing measured the height with his hand for Zhong Siyu to see.

"I am not a jealous person. Your Majesty has spared her life and kept her in the palace. What kind of status does Your Majesty intend to give her?" It took Zhong Siyu a lot of willpower to ask this question.

"Status? How dare the Queen say that." Wan Lianxing wanted to say, what did he do to Princess Zhuoyang, what kind of status could he give her!

"Won't the emperor give her a title?"

"When will I give her a name?"
