The news of abdicating the throne after giving birth to a daughter soon spread throughout the daughter country, causing an uproar in the court.
In the morning of the next day, no one dared to mention the coming-of-age ceremony again.
Xiaobai is so confident, she naturally has her own confidence. Xiaobai is an excellent emperor, achieving a very clever balance between the common people and the nobles. At first, many people opposed her ascension to the throne. First, she was too young and was not qualified enough.
In order to be qualified for the position of monarch of the daughter country, the second reason is that Xiaobai has already made a name for herself in the political arena of the daughter country, and the officials are afraid that the little queen will be difficult to control.
Now seven or eight years have passed, and the daughter country is getting stronger and stronger without harming their interests to a great extent. The officials naturally support her. She has abolished many laws over the years, and they turn a blind eye.
One Eye, to put it mildly, is following the little master, but to put it worst, they are also afraid that the little master will be really angry, so they dare not confront him forcefully.
Coming of age ceremony, I already knew that there was a tough battle to be fought.
She had already become full-fledged and hardened, who could control her, and Zhou Fan did not express his position, so the Prime Minister and his party were silent along with him. The officials of the old school were helpless, and the situation was one-sided. The Queen and the Prime Minister had always been
In contrast, their influence in the court was far greater than that of any official. This time, Zhou Fan unexpectedly stood on a united front with Xiaobai, and Long Tengyue and the others naturally couldn't take advantage of them.
Everyone has a deep understanding of Xiaobai's temper. She said that abdicating the throne was not a joke. Losing a wise and powerful emperor for the coming of age ceremony was not worth the loss. Long Tengyue and the others had to admit that they had lost another round.
At this point, the coming-of-age ceremony officially became history.
"Sister, did you say that to the clan leader on purpose?" Su Mo was very confused. No matter how willful her sister was, she would not rashly abdicate.
No wonder she wasn't in a hurry for the coming-of-age ceremony. It turned out that she had already prepared a killer move. Hey, she thought she was going to have a good show? It's really boring.
Xiaobai drank tea leisurely. The scented tea made by the palace maid was getting better and better, and she remembered to reward Shang Shiju later.
Tomorrow is the National Birthday. Without the coming-of-age ceremony, I can live naturally and comfortably. It’s the beginning of the year again, and Xiaobai’s life is very fruitful. “It’s my birthday tomorrow, what should you give me?”
"Are you sorry? I'm only a few years old. I have no money and no power. What can I give you?" Su Mo patted Xiao Bai's outstretched hand and said seriously, "Sister, please don't harm me. Don't talk about abdicating the throne in the future."
thing."
Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, what is this?
Su Mo was angry and yelled, "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know? If you are really going to abdicate, won't it be my turn?"
Her sister said she would abdicate easily, but she was worried. She had no daughter now, and Su Mo was the first heir. If Xiaobai abdicated, she would definitely be captured and change her surname to sit on the throne.
She cherishes life very much, and there is nothing she can't think about, so she needs to communicate with Xiaobai first.
Xiaobai smiled, and there was a cry of a baby in the room. Shu Nian woke up, and Su Mo ran in excitedly. She also likes Shu Nian now, and always teases her with Su Yue. Su Yue is possessive and often bullies her, which makes her more and more angry.
It's getting tighter and tighter.
On the night of the 13th, a grand banquet was held in the palace. The atmosphere was very harmonious. It lasted until the second watch. Xiaobai excused himself because he was drunk, and the atmosphere of the banquet became even more lively.
After three rounds of drinking, the mood was already a bit high. Xiaobai was watching from a high position. They were always a little uncomfortable and did not make a fuss. Once Xiaobai left, the sense of oppression was gone, and it naturally became lively.
The ratio of male to female officials in the Daughter Kingdom is balanced. After Xiaobai came to power, she promoted a group of young officials. She has a serious problem with appearance. Naturally, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful. Some people who don’t usually interact with each other can take advantage of being drunk.
Very engaged in conversation.
Xiao Baiping retreated from the ruthless and gentle breeze, and was blowing the wind alone in the Imperial Garden. The evening breeze was very cool. She drank wine and her face was very hot, but she was not drunk. There was only a little bit of heat. The wind was blowing slowly, which was quite comfortable.
of.
Thirteen years old...
Xiaobai held his chin, and as the years passed, he slowly grew up...
And even more lonely...
"What are you doing here alone?" Zhou Fan's voice came from the side, he walked into the pavilion and looked at her with a frown.
Xiaobai pouted, "If you don't have fun with them, what are you doing here?"
"You've already left, what's the point of me being there?" Zhou Fan said softly.
Xiaobai's heart trembled and she looked at him in confusion. What did he mean? It was strange that her heart trembled because of his unclear words. She was really committing an evil act.
Zhou Fan may have realized that he was being abrupt, and coughed slightly, as if to quibble, "I mean, they started to play around as soon as you left. I simply left too, and they were even less restrained."
Xiaobai lowered his eyes to cover up his disappointment, said oh, said nothing, and looked at the night with his head propped up.
"If you're drunk, why don't you go back to the palace and rest?" Zhou Fan's voice was rare and gentle. He felt distressed when he saw her sitting alone in the pavilion. It was her birthday, others were having fun, and she couldn't even shadow her.
All so lonely.
"It's okay, sit down for a while." Xiaobai didn't look at him.
The two of them were silent for a long time without saying anything. Xiaobai looked at the night, feeling depressed. He should be happy obviously, but his heart was blocked.
She is much luckier than ordinary girls, right?
Beauty, wealth, she has it all.
She also has wisdom and health.
She has everything that ordinary people desire, but why does she still feel unhappy?
Especially with Zhou Fan standing next to her, she felt even more upset. She didn't know when she started to get tired of this ambiguous relationship.
"If you're fine, go back first." Xiaobai's voice was cold and he issued an eviction order.
Birthdays in previous years were not as uncomfortable as this year. Her most hated coming-of-age ceremony was cancelled, and her relationship with Xu Mubai was perfectly handled. Everything went smoothly, but she still felt that something was missing.
She turned her head and looked at Zhou Fan. Was she too greedy?
The young man under the moonlight was handsome, tall, and outstanding. Xiaobai felt suffocated and turned her head away. The moon was round, clear and slightly cold, and the sky was filled with stars. She actually felt empty.
A very delicate sandalwood box appeared in front of her. Xiaobai raised his eyebrows in surprise. Is it a gift? What's the wind blowing today? I haven't seen him give anything to her on birthdays in previous years.
Zhou Fan felt a little uncomfortable and his voice trembled, "This is for you."
Xiaobai could hear the nervousness in his voice. It was really strange that the prime minister who had seen strong winds and waves would be nervous. Xiaobai found that her fingertips were trembling a little.
The heart beats out of whack.
The moonlight today is so beautiful.
"What is it?"
"Open it and take a look."
Xiaobai opened it, and there was a rose jade hairpin lying on the red satin. There were three small pink gemstones on the rose flower. The warm color and exquisite carving made Xiaobai fall in love with it at first sight.
Seeing that Xiaobai liked it, Zhou Fan also smiled slightly. Only he knew that his palms were so nervous that they were sweating. He was really afraid that Xiaobai would refuse with a cold face.
"It's so beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
"I carved it myself." Zhou Fan said in astonishment, "But the gems were set by others."
Xiaobai was stunned, looked at Qiangwei Jade Chai, then looked at Zhou Fan, lowered his head, and smiled sweetly.
The touch of white jade was warm and slightly cool. Xiaobai couldn't put it down and whispered thank you.
The moonlight pours down, and the imperial garden is extremely beautiful.
"Zhou Fan... put it on for me." Xiaobai took off the crown and gave him the jade hairpin. Zhou Fan approached, took it, and inserted it into her cloud-like hair.
"Does it look good?"
Zhou Fan nodded, "It's... pretty."
Xiaobai smiled and then lowered his head. Both of them were poor talkers and didn't know what to say at the moment. The atmosphere of silence was awkward and ambiguous.
Zhou Fanchu looked at her there, while Xiaobai lowered his head and looked at the floor.
"Um... do you want to set off fireworks?" Zhou Fan cleared his throat. Xiaobai looked at him and nodded. Zhou Fan quickly left the pavilion and brought several fireworks after a while.
Tonight is the National Life Festival, and there are a lot of them in the palace in the evening. Every year, Xiaobai watches them, but has never lit them himself.
Seeing the fireworks he lit and the fireworks rising into the sky with his own eyes, Xiaobai also chuckled with joy.
The night is really beautiful...
Xiaobai suddenly fell in love with birthdays.
Zhou Fan was also pulled by her to set off several fireworks. The colorful fireworks were blooming like brilliant flowers.
"Why did you think of giving me something? And setting off fireworks with me?" Xiaobai asked curiously. With Zhou Fan's character, he would not have such romantic thoughts.
Zhou Fan looked obviously uncomfortable, "Xiaoyu taught me."
Obviously, our great prime minister was too honest and did not understand the girl's thoughts at all. He carved the jade hairpin a long time ago, always thinking that if he had a chance, he would give it to Xiaobai.
, but the two of them kept arguing and missed too many times. In Zhou Fan's mind, it was the first time that he liked someone. He didn't know how to please her or make her happy, and his self-esteem did not allow him to ask others.
, Xiaoyu knew that today was China Life, so she took the initiative to provide a solution.
For Zhou Fan, it was really difficult for him to do such a thing, but Xiao Yu said that girls all liked it, so he gave it a try.
He doesn't know how to fall in love, but he is willing to learn.
But when Xiao Bai heard that it was Xiao Yu who taught him, his face darkened, and all the joy he had felt was gone. He glared at Zhou Fan angrily, turned around and left.
Zhou Fan didn't understand why she was angry, so he quickly pulled her and asked, "Why are you angry?"
"Let go, damn Zhou Fan, I hate you, I hate you..." Xiaobai struggled to push him away, but her eyes turned red with grievance, and she was so angry that Zhou Fan was so anxious that he lowered his head and kissed her.
lip.
Their breaths mingled, Xiaobai's eyes widened in vain, the only feeling was on the four hot lips, his heart was beating fast, he came back to his senses and punched him twice, signaling for him to let go. Zhou Fan held on arrogantly,
He put one hand around her shoulders, clasped her head, and kissed her deeper, inserting his tongue into it, clumsily plundering her breath.
Xiaobai was stunned and her eyes opened even wider. Zhou Fan let go of her slightly, his breath a little unsteady, "Xiaobai, close your eyes..."
Xiao Bai was stunned. He really obeyed and closed his eyes. His vision was dark and his touch was more sensitive. When Zhou Fan kissed him again, a trembling feeling ran down Xiao Bai's back...
