The new emperor ascended the throne, and congratulations came from all over.
Shengjing has recently been bustling with singing and dancing, and nearby countries and countries with good relations have sent envoys to congratulate her.
The new emperor put aside other things for the time being and put all his thoughts on this.
This is his first grand event since he ascended the throne, so he must not make any mistakes, otherwise he will become a laughing stock in the world.
The Lu family, the ancestral family of the new emperor, is now at its peak, and its threshold is almost being crossed.
Envoys from Xiling, Nanchu, and various small countries arrived one after another.
The new emperor reported about meeting these people at banquets almost every day.
The harem was peaceful for a while, and if the emperor did not enter the harem, they could not compete for favor.
As a queen, Tao Mingran not only had to manage the harem, but also received the female relatives who came with the envoys. She was so busy every day that she felt dizzy.
She closed her eyes and let the palace maid dress her up. Tonight was another dinner party to welcome the newly arrived envoy from the Lingxi Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, you are ready."
Tao Mingran looked at himself in the mirror, his majesty revealed a bit of exhaustion, and he looked completely unfamiliar.
She looked away and didn't want to look any further. She held the palace maid's hand and said, "Let's go."
The eldest palace maid, who had been serving her since she was a child, whispered, "The princess of Lingxi Kingdom is famous for her beauty."
I was specially brought here at this time, and my thoughts are clearly revealed.
There was no movement on Tao Mingran's face, "It seems like the harem is going to get lively."
Her status as queen is still stable.
Su Jingyi has enough status, but she is unfavored and the way she entered the house is a big black mark. Zhou Yao is a favorite concubine, but her family background is not enough.
Tao Mingran's goal was the original Empress Xie and the current Empress Dowager. All she had to do was become a qualified empress like her.
It has nothing to do with how many women there are in the harem and who the emperor favors.
Only by remaining emotionless in this harem can you reach the end.
The banquet was very lively, and ministers from several other countries besides Lingxi Kingdom were also present.
The new emperor looked at this scene and listened to the envoys praising him with great interest. It turned out that this was the feeling of having great power.
The climax of the banquet was when the envoy from the Lingxi Kingdom said, "In order to congratulate His Majesty on his enthronement, our most beautiful princess, Princess Mingxi, of the Lingxi Kingdom, specially presents a dance for Your Majesty."
The new emperor clapped his hands and laughed, "You have a heart."
The beauty came curling up, dancing lightly, with a pair of brown eyes that were very charming when she looked over.
The new emperor was fascinated by the beauty of this princess who had a somewhat exotic look, which was different from the concubines in the harem now.
Men love novelty the most.
After the dance ended, the princess saluted him and said, "On behalf of the Lingxi Kingdom, I wish your majesty peace in the world."
The new emperor showed a satisfied smile.
The envoy of Lingxi Kingdom took the opportunity to propose that for the sake of good relations between the two countries, he was willing to allow Princess Mingxi to marry her.
The new emperor happily accepted the beauty and named Princess Mingxi "Concubine Xi" on the spot.
Su Jingyi looked at the lively beauty with a stupefied face and almost tore the veil in her hand.
Another one who stepped on her head as soon as she entered the palace.
There are three people in the concubine position, but she has no title or favor. If this continues, will there still be a place for him in the harem?
The new emperor did not have many concubines in the harem, he himself was young, and the most important thing was that he had no children in the harem.
It is foreseeable that countless new people will enter the palace later.
Whoever gives birth to the child first will definitely be in the most advantageous position.
Su Jingyi felt angry when she thought of this. If her child had not been aborted, he would have been the eldest son of the emperor.
She was gnashing her teeth in hatred, and Concubine Zhao on the side retched and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
Su Jingyi looked over.
"My dear, are you okay?" The palace maid immediately handed her hot tea.
Concubine Zhao took a sip and said with a pale face, "Stop saying anything. Go tell the Queen that I'm not feeling well and leave first."
Zhou Yao is a person who understands the overall situation. With so many envoys here, if she makes a fuss, she will lose the emperor's face.
So she forced herself to retreat quietly.
Su Jingjing looked at her with eyes almost filled with venom.
Tao Mingran heard the palace maid's report, turned around and whispered, "Call the imperial doctor to take a look at her."
She was the emperor's favorite concubine, and she didn't want to offend her.
The emperor was sitting next to her and naturally noticed the movement.
As soon as the banquet was over, he immediately ordered to go to Zhou Yao Palace to see her.
Tao Mingran also went to show his concern.
Su Jingyi followed without hesitation.
As soon as they were walked in, they heard the imperial doctor say, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao has had a happy pulse for more than two months."
Calculating the time, I was conceived not long after my wedding.
This is his first pregnancy since he came to the throne. He still has no children, and besides, it is his beloved woman who is pregnant, so it is difficult to be unhappy.
The emperor said to Concubine Zhao, "You take good care of your child and give me a prince. I will not treat you badly..."
Su Jingyi pinched her palms tightly and felt that this scene was extremely dazzling, especially compared to the emperor's attitude when she was pregnant.
Su Jingyi lowered her eyes to cover the hatred pouring out of her eyes.
Her child was not born, so how could Zhou Yao's child be born smoothly?
The emperor has been in high spirits during happy events recently, and it is a time of pride.
The feudal king's envoys have almost arrived.
The King of Minnan did not arrive, but he wrote in a memorial that he had been ill and bedridden recently and could not come.
Although it looked fake at first glance, I found a reason and even gave him a bunch of gifts to celebrate.
What concerned the emperor was that Fosang, which had always been regarded as the emperor's sword, had no movement at all.
The Fusang people were strong and good at fighting, which could be said to be a powerful force in the hands of Emperor Daqi.
He had just ascended the throne and was in urgent need of such power.
The emperor said angrily, "What does Fusang mean?"
Duke Lu frowned and said, "Your Majesty can issue an imperial edict and summon you forcefully."
The Taifu sighed inwardly and said, "Fusang has always been unruly. Whenever there is a big disturbance, trouble will happen."
Fusang said that he surrendered to the Daqi royal family, but it would be better to say that he was defeated by the female general of the Shen family.
The current Fusang King grew up in the Shen family, which is a cancer that can break out at any time.
The late emperor would punish the Shen family for this reason, fearing that Fusang and the Shen family would be too deeply involved.
Duke Lu Guo suddenly had an idea, "Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to the south of the Yangtze River? I heard that the Fusang King Li Xi was raised by Mrs. Shen. Is Mrs. Shen still afraid that the Fusang King will not come?"
The emperor's eyes lit up, "What a great idea."
Immediately sent people to Jiangnan to capture the Shen family.
In a blink of an eye, the enthronement ceremony came. Witnessed by envoys from all parties, the new emperor walked towards the throne with the hands of the queen.
On the same day, King Fosang announced to the world that Fosangsang was officially independent from Daqi and became a country.
The world was shaken.
The emperor was so angry that he had a black face the whole time. Isn't it just a slap in the face that he chose this day?
The vassal states of Daqi and the vassal kings with military power in their hands were ready to take action.
Everyone can see that the new emperor's throne is unstable and now is the best time to cause trouble.
The world is in a state of flux, and this is destined to be an era in which heroes emerge in large numbers.
