Chapter 603 The new emperor ascends the throne
That night, Xiao Ce stayed at Wangyue.
Although this result did not surprise many people, everyone still felt that this woman Qin Zhao was too disgusting.
Early the next morning, someone saw Qin Zhao escorting Xiao Ce out of the East Palace.
Before leaving, Xiao Ce looked back frequently and looked in the direction of Qin Zhao.
Most people have not seen it with their own eyes, but some people might as well exaggerate this scene, saying that the new emperor has not officially ascended the throne, but signs of Qin Zhao's favor in the harem are already appearing.
When Qin Zhao learned about the news circulating in the East Palace about her charming and charming master, he was not surprised at all.
This time she was not sending Xiao Ce away from the East Palace, it was Xiao Ce who gave her the order. Now that he is the acting emperor, he only has to ascend the throne and officially be crowned king. Can she say no in this situation?
In fact, her popularity in the East Palace is very bad. Some people hate her with itch, while others can't wait to see her fall from her height.
But Xiao Ce's coming and going caused people who would never take the initiative to appear in front of her to come to Wangyue Residence, including Li Fengyi.
Li Fengyi deeply felt that Qin Zhao was very annoying, but she still could not offend her future favorite concubine.
According to Qin Zhao's current momentum, it is no problem to become the second Concubine Wu.
Seeing other people coming to Wangyue Residence, she followed them.
Qin Zhao has never seen so many charming guests rushing to Wangyue Residence before. This scene is very eye-catching to her. After all, everyone has a love for beauty, and she has always been a beauty control.
All the ladies gathered together to discuss Xiao Ce's upcoming accession to the throne.
Although we knew from the time we met Xiao Ce that Xiao Ce was the crown prince and would one day be the emperor, the late emperor was still alive at that time, and no one was sure whether the situation in the court would change in the future.
Now the man they are with will soon become the emperor of Daqi and the most noble man in Daqi. Why don't they get excited?
"Let me tell you, Sister Qin is the most powerful. When His Highness officially ascends the throne, Sister Qin will definitely be the first among the four concubines." The speaker was Zhang Fengyi, who had just entered the East Palace not long ago.
She never came to Wangyue Residence on weekdays. This time, because everyone came to curry favor with Qin Zhao, she had no choice but to follow the crowd and say flattering words without sincerity.
Of course, Qin Zhao knew that Zhang Fengyi was not serious about what he said, so she just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether your status is high or low. What all the sisters have to do is to serve His Highness well."
In her previous life, she was a concubine when she came here, and later became the Queen Mother. Speaking of which, she had also sat in the most honorable position, so she didn't attach much importance to her position.
The premise is that there is no queen sitting in the palace. Otherwise, I have to go to greet the queen every day. How tiring would it be?
Other beauties, including Zhang Fengyi, did not believe Qin Zhao's words.
Who doesn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince values Qin Zhao the most? Yesterday, when his Highness had free time, he came to Wangyue Residence to favor this woman. Therefore, he said that this woman Qin Zhao is hypocritical.
He obviously occupies all the favor, but he can still pretend not to care.
Of course, no one dares to tell these truths.
On this day, Qin Zhao was dropped off and she couldn't take a break until noon. She was about to have lunch when Wu Xirou came again, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
"I came here specially to have lunch, sister, you don't mind it, right?" Wu Xirou said with a bright smile.
Qin Zhaoxin said, could she say she disliked it?
"Although I haven't prepared lunch for my sister, I can share some with my sister and eat less for myself." Qin Zhaosha said in a serious tone.
Wu Xirou smiled when she heard this: "I feel wronged, sister."
"No grievance, no grievance." Qin Zhao said and asked Wu Xirou to sit down.
During the meal, the two occasionally chatted for a few words. When they were full and drunk, Qin Zhao suggested that they go out to eat.
Wu Xirou followed Qin Zhao closely, talking about irrelevant topics.
Qin Zhao was impatient. She knew that Wu Xirou did not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, so she might have come here specifically to talk to her about something important.
But until she finished eating, Wu Xirou didn't say anything serious. She couldn't help but be a little confused. Is it really as simple as eating when Wu Xirou came to her this time?
At this moment, Wu Xirou finally said the right thing: "I really hope that these leisurely days can last forever. Occasionally, I will have a meal like this with my sister, and say some thoughtful words to my sister when she is eating."
Qin Zhao's eyes flashed slightly and he responded: "Yes, I'm just glad that we live in a peaceful and prosperous age."
"When His Highness officially ascends the throne, he will definitely govern Daqi very well. Not only will Daqi become more and more prosperous, but the relationship between us sisters will also get better and better." Wu Xirou replied softly.
Qin Zhao felt that this was the real purpose of Wu Xirou's trip. This woman wanted to test her reaction, and she also wanted to know whether Xiao Ce would take action to get rid of her after he officially ascended the throne.
So she said that Wu Xirou was very thoughtful.
He said in his mouth that he wanted to be a good sister and good friend with her, but in his heart he was always on guard against her, consciously or unconsciously, otherwise Wu Xirou would not pry into her from time to time.
"According to His Highness' ability, Da Qi will naturally be governed very well. As long as we don't cause trouble to His Highness, the harmony in the harem will be the greatest support for His Highness." Qin Zhao said calmly: "Sister, don't you think so?"
"Sister, what you said makes sense." Wu Xirou immediately felt relieved: "Sister has the habit of taking a nap, so I won't disturb you."
Qin Zhao watched Wu Xirou go away. She yawned and planned to take a nap.
On the day Xiao Ce ascended the throne, the sky was clear and cloudless, which was a very auspicious day.
Qin Zhao got up early in the morning and was pulled up by Baoyu to dress up.
She also knew that today was a big day, and if she could, seeing Xiao Ce ascend the throne from a distance would be of great significance to her.
On this day, she deliberately dressed more solemnly and put on more makeup than usual.
"Is Liangdi very nervous?" Baoyu joked when he saw that Qin Zhao didn't smile at all.
Qin Zhao shook his head and nodded: "I have never seen such a big scene before, so I am a little nervous."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Shui came in.
"Your Highness specifically asked your servant to take Liangdi to watch the ceremony." Qiu Shui explained his intention.
Qiu Shui's dress today is also different from before, becoming more solemn.
Qin Zhao suddenly remembered that if she hadn't disrupted the situation, Qiu Shui in this life would have been one of Xiao Ce's harem. If Qiu Shui knew about this, he didn't know if he would hate her.
While she was thinking about it, she followed Qiu Shui out of Wangyue Residence and climbed onto the steps.
After that, she went to the Ancestral Temple.
At this time, the enthronement ceremony has almost begun.
Xiao Ce began to worship heaven and earth, and then worshiped the Ancestral Temple and Sheji.
After worshiping the ancestors of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, they arrived at the Fengtian Hall and the first drum sounded. When the drums ended, the civil and military officials arranged their court uniforms.
After that, the second drumming began, and the officials were sorted at the Meridian Gate according to their grades.
After the third tom-drum ended, all civil and military officials entered in order and took their places...
