After waiting for a long time, the Eighth Prince, whom the people of the whole country were looking forward to, finally arrived after a long journey. The old emperor and the Eighth Prince, who had not seen each other for almost ten years, were as loving as father and son as soon as they met. There was no barrier at all. I shook my arms.
, I expressed condolences to my son for his hard work during the feudal period at the border of Sichuan. His eyes filled with tears, and he kept saying that it was really hard work for his father, who had to work hard all day long and fell ill. Standing next to him was a bewildered Queen Li who was very old and had not entered the state at all. It was really auspicious.
a family of three.
A group of civil and military ministers below also cooperated with the atmosphere. They all rolled up their sleeves and wiped their tears, moved by the deep love between father and son of the royal family. No wonder my country is peaceful and the people are peaceful and everything is going smoothly. It turns out that I am a role model! After the father and son recognized each other, the old emperor held his son's hand.
With trembling hands, he introduced the ministers. Come, come, come, this is the chief minister of the cabinet who escaped death, that is the hard-working Wenyuan Pavilion bachelor, the few over there are the five major cabinet ministers, and the following few are
...There were so many names that Minglan didn’t remember them all.
"Father, what does the Eighth Prince look like?" Ru Lan said bluntly. In fact, what she asked was what the female family members here wanted to know.
Sheng Hong looked loyal and patriotic, raised his head and said: "Your Highness Bai Ran has the eyes of a dragon and the pupils of a phoenix, his literary and military virtues, and his extraordinary talents.
The female relatives firmly believed that the next generation of national leaders would always be more handsome. Changbai glanced at his father secretly and remained silent with an expressionless face. In fact, the Eighth Prince has a square head and big ears, and he is considered decent at best.
It is said that Emperor Fang Chogao, a hero of a generation in troubled times, was also a generation of unparalleled ugly men. His ugly genes are so tough that even after generations of beauties have improved them, they have yet to show results. But having said that, the king of a country wants to be safe with this kind of appearance.
The old emperor probably couldn't hold it any longer, so the considerate Qin Tian Jian Zheng immediately calculated the nearest auspicious day and immediately performed the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince. The ministers then presented congratulations, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Taichangsu who had been prepared showed their talents.
The moment came. Early in the morning on the auspicious day, before dawn, the Sheng family father and son went out in the dark and went to the Fengtian Hall to attend the ceremony. They knelt again and again and stood up and down for a whole day. Finally, the prince took the treasure.
The ceremony was completed by going to the central palace to thank the queen, then paying homage to the ancestral temple and offering sacrifices to the ancestors. Even so, Sheng Hong also said that it was because of the chaos a year ago that the old emperor was mentally and physically exhausted, so the ceremony of the ceremony had been simplified a lot.
The people in the capital were very aware and knew that the royal family was happy, so they lit up fireworks that night. Rich families simply set off fireworks and distributed alms to the poor people to show universal celebration. Xiao Changdong was also very happy, because the ceremony for the appointment of the crown prince.
Their school had a holiday for a few days. When he came back on the day of the holiday, he secretly told Minglan that he heard the beggars who went to receive rice and porridge saying, "It's happened twice in the past few months. It would be great if the prince was appointed every day."
, so Minglan couldn’t help but smile.
Changdong is eleven years old, and his childlike appearance has gradually grown longer. He is usually respectful in front of his father and brother, but he is still naughty when he meets Minglan. Minglan encourages Changdong to scoop up the articles praised by his husband and show them to Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong praised him several times, and Changdong worked harder and harder in studying. He had to wake up early and stay in the dark, and his eyes were dull when talking to people.
Minglan was afraid that he would become stupid with his studies, so Chang Kai explained that he should not be too obsessed with it: "Learning literary and martial arts will bring you to the emperor's family. Nine and a half out of ten people who study are for officialdom; but those who are good at studying will definitely be able to do so."
How are you doing as an official? You are already very good in class, but if you don't get a conspicuous ranking, you will always be asked to get on the list. The most important thing is to learn more about the principles of the world. In the future, you will be able to get along with your mentors and colleagues, and you will be able to get along well. If you are an official
, it can also be a blessing to the people, don’t lose your head reading "Jiang"." In the final analysis, Changdong is not as qualified as Changbai, he just relies on his stubborn energy.
A bitter smile appeared on Changdong's face: "I just want to make my aunt live a better life.
Minglan looked at him for a while, then touched his head and sighed softly.
After the enthronement ceremony, the old emperor wanted to hand over the political affairs to the prince and take good care of his health. Unexpectedly, the prince was so filial that he ignored the courtiers' requests to see him and visited him everywhere. He only devoted himself to the old emperor and served him all day long.
I had to taste the decoction before taking each sip, and at night I slept lightly on the couch in the old emperor's palace. He did not rest day after day, nor did he go to court. After only ten days, the newly appointed crown prince had lost a lot of weight and became taller.
His robes were swaying.
The old emperor sighed and said: "My son is extremely filial, and Lian is very pleased. As the prince of the dynasty, you should take state affairs as your top priority."
The prince shed tears and said: "All our brothers can be princes, but there is only one son and father."
The old emperor burst into tears, and his father and son hugged each other and cried. When the courtiers inside and outside heard this, they all sighed and praised him.
Bo Tianwei, the right-hand governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, is very old and has been recuperating at home since the year before. He also said, "Don't you hear that the son wants to support him but his relatives are not waiting for him? The prince is indeed a virtuous and filial man. Later, he went to the palace according to the order and asked for help.
Soldier Talisman and the Prince.
Minglan raised the corners of her mouth slightly as she listened to the news from Changdong.
Half a month later, late one night, the death knell in the capital rang loudly, and the clouds rang, and Minglan counted them in detail, and then there was a panic and confusion outside. After a while, Danju came in and said: "The emperor has passed away.
.”
Minglan was not aware enough and did not feel so sad. The death of the old emperor was like the second boot on the roof. Everyone gritted their teeth and waited, but it never came. On the contrary, he was anxious and filled a lot of things for this.
cannon fodder.
All preparations were in place, and the new emperor ascended the throne the next day and issued a general amnesty to the world.
The funeral ceremony of the late emperor was carried out in an orderly manner. The palace issued an order to the world that all households with nobility and officials of the sixth rank and above were not allowed to feast and have fun for a year, and were not allowed to get married for a year. The common people?p

Immediately, the new emperor sealed the ceremony, consecrating Empress Li as the Empress Dowager Sheng'an, the imperial concubine as the Empress Dowager Seungdeok, and the other concubines in the harem who were buried in the harem were awarded according to their grades. At the same time, the Crown Princess Shen was conferred as the empress, and the whole country was immersed in the mother's honor.
In a state of grief.
An incident occurred during this period. The Prime Minister of Zuosi of Taipu Temple saw that the new Queen's palace was sparse and there were not many beauties, so he figured out the holy intention and wrote a memorial to ask the new emperor to select talents and enrich the harem to prepare for the expansion of the royal family. As a result, he was
The new emperor scolded him and took off his crown. He declared sternly: I have a son, and I will observe mourning for the late emperor for three years.
As soon as this edict came out, some families were happy and some were sad. Some powerful families in Beijing had been waiting for their daughters to be sent to the harem. It would take three years and many rich ladies would be past their prime. However, there were also many who were relieved.
, Minglan breathed a sigh of relief. She should get married in three years.
The funeral ceremony of the late emperor lasted for more than half a month, and finally the coffin and coffin were sent to the mausoleum. The farewell to the old and the new to the new came to an end.
Ru Lan hurriedly took off the plain clothes she had worn for many days, and quickly found her favorite bright-colored clothes to dress up; Mo Lan continued to compose her "resentful song style" poems, wiping two tears from time to time, and the people in Wang's room
The mother-in-law secretly ridiculed Mo Lan's appearance, "I don't know, I thought she was a dead man"; Ming Lan continued her "Back to Mountain" series of embroidery creations. To be honest, she was not a rotten girl, but she came to this restraint
After the world, otherwise there is no way to relieve the increasingly abnormal mood.
At this time, the Duke of Qi's Mansion was also going to pay homage. The servants scooped up the white lanterns, white silk emperors and other items quietly and neatly. The two houses were in a mess. Princess Ping'an's capable stewardess and maids were guarding the door.
Only allowed to speak to mother and son.
"Nie Zhan. What did you say?!" Princess Pingning was trembling with anger.
Qi Heng chuckled coldly and sarcastically: "I said, now I have entered the Hanlin Academy. If there is a better marriage in the future, will my mother have to change her mind again? Why make the decision so early?"
With a 'pop' sound, Qi Heng's face tilted away, and a few fingerprints appeared on his fair and beautiful face. The princess sternly said: "You rebellious and unfilial thing, you are so presumptuous!"
There was a glint in Qi Heng's eyes, and his laughter was filled with sadness: "My mother clearly knows her son's intentions, but she is just one step away, yet she is so cruel.
Princess Pingning looked at her palms, feeling a dull pain in her heart. She took a few steps back tremblingly, then stood still and whispered: "That day when we were having a banquet, the three of us were sitting together. I wanted to ask tentatively.
Mrs. Wang looked at it and said a few words. Mrs. Yongchanghou interrupted halfway and said that she had fallen in love with Minglan. She even made it clear about the person to whom she was going to live. How do you call me your mother?! Go and meet someone.
Fight?"
Qi Heng knew that Bai Ji's mother was arrogant by nature. If it were different, he would have given in. But today, he felt angry and sneered: "My mother has always been quick in thinking. At that time, she immediately thought of marrying Yongchang Houfu."
It’s time to kiss her; besides, your daughter-in-law is a direct descendant, so she’s superior to others!"
The princess was choked. She had never thought that her gentle son, who had always been obedient and obedient, would behave like this. Ever since he found out about this, he had always kept a cold face and ignored her. The princess let out a sigh of relief.
He said: "I just talked to Sister Wang and didn't make an appointment. If you really don't like it, forget it. But... you will never want to see her again."
This sentence made Qi Heng stunned, his heart was ups and downs, he was sad for a while, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
When the princess saw her son like this, she couldn't help but burst into tears: "Don't blame me for coveting power. You have been held up and held up by everyone since you were young. You have never tasted the feeling of being down and out. But you have been in the "Shenchen Rebellion" for a long time.
Finally, you saw those snobbish faces, and some people secretly laughed at us..."
Qi Heng's face turned pale as he thought of that scene a year ago, and his delicate eyebrows furrowed.
The princess pulled her son over sadly and said softly: "Aren't all the things happening now because of the word 'power'? If you had a biological uncle, if your father was the heir apparent, if we were strong enough and capable, you would marry me if you wanted to
Marry whoever you want, mother, why don’t you want to fulfill your wish, even if you ask the Sheng Mansion to send a concubine to you as your side wife? But... Heng’er, we are just looking at the scenery now. A hundred years from now, your grandfather will
The Xiangyang Marquis Mansion will have to be given to others, and your aunt has always been at odds with us in the same room. We can't rely on each other. The new emperor has ascended the throne. Youdao is an emperor and a courtier. It is still unknown what happened to your father. What happened to him?
During the year of salt work, I don’t know how many people stared with red eyes, just waiting to catch their mistakes so that they could step on your father. How could mother not think more about the family?!
As he spoke, he began to cry miserably.
Qi Heng's vision was blurry. In a daze, he suddenly remembered something that happened when Minglan was a child. As a young girl, she squatted on the ground and used flower branches to draw two flat grooves in the soil. They were said to be parallel lines. Although the two lines looked like
They are very close, but they will never touch each other.
He deliberately teased her, so he caught a caterpillar on her skirt. The little girl screamed in fright and stamped her feet to get rid of the caterpillar. But he laughed loudly, pointed to the two lines on the ground where the footprints were pressed together, and said with a smile
: "Isn't this a coincidence?"
The little girl was as delicate and beautiful as a porcelain doll, and she looked extremely angry. Her delicate white skin was filled with the brightness of the juice from the mantis, which made people want to reach out and touch her. He quickly bowed and apologized, but the little girl refused to let him off easily.
, picked up a piece of mud and threw it at Bai Ji, then turned around and ran away.
| He wanted to chase after him, but was held back by the servant who came after hearing the sound.
