After ascending the throne, Emperor Jian'an was very diligent and got up early every day. He first took Empress Xiao to the Jiaofang Hall to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Yu. After having breakfast together, they went to the court to attend the meeting.
After the emperor's enthronement ceremony, the ceremony of canonizing the queen followed immediately.
The queen's canonization ceremony is much simpler than the emperor's enthronement ceremony. However, it also takes a whole day. She has to go to the Ancestral Temple to pay homage to her ancestors. When the queen lives in the Jiaofang Hall, she should also hold the phoenix seal.
This square phoenix seal is a symbol of the power of the queen in the middle palace.
The queen of the middle palace needs to use the phoenix seal if she wants to announce the phoenix decree. If she wants to rule the sixth palace, she also needs the phoenix seal.
Just like the emperor, how can he command his ministers without his royal seal?
However, Empress Dowager Yu lived peacefully in Jiaofang Palace and had no intention of moving out of Jiaofang Palace. The Fang Fengyin was also firmly controlled by Empress Dowager Yu. All the female officials in the palace obeyed Empress Dowager Yu's orders.
Xiao Yuhan, the queen, is the same as before except for the false name of a queen.
Can Xiao Yuhan be willing to do so?
Of course not willingly.
But it's useless to be unwilling. Only when you are in the palace can you know the power of Queen Mother Yu in the palace. Not to mention her as a queen, even Emperor Jian'an was respectful to Queen Mother Yu and did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Xiao Yuhan tactfully mentioned it to Emperor Jian'an: "...I am now a queen, so living in the East Palace is quite inconvenient."
Emperor Jian'an glanced at Xiao Yuhan: "There is no rush to move to the palace for the time being. It is human nature to be reluctant to move out of the Jiaofang Palace where the queen has lived for decades. You are still young, so there is no harm in waiting.
."
For Emperor Jian'an, the most important thing was to establish a foothold in the court and win over the courtiers. He could only ignore the affairs of the harem first, lest Empress Dowager Yu would be unhappy and stumbling upon him.
Xiao Yuhan had no choice but to continue to swallow his anger.
…
After the new emperor ascended the throne, Xie Mingxi followed Sheng Hong back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion...it has now been renamed the Shu Prince's Mansion. Even the plaque has been changed.
Chief Gu Shan stayed at Princess Changping's Mansion for a few days. Seeing that Gu Qing's injury was gradually improving, he returned to Prince Shu's Mansion.
After being apart for many days, the master and the disciples reunited again, each feeling happy in their hearts.
"Master, you have lost a lot of weight." Xie Mingxi whispered with some distress.
Gu Shanchang had indeed lost a lot of weight, and his expression was a little gloomy. He cheered up and said with a smile: "You are in the palace, and I have been thinking about you mother and daughter all day long. Then something happened to Aqing again, and I felt anxious and anxious.
, wherever you can eat and sleep. If you eat well and sleep for a few days, you will be healthy again, so there is no need to worry."
Xie Mingxi took a deep look at Gu Shanchang: "Master and Queen Mother had a falling out?"
Gu Shanchang: "..."
Gu Shanchang refused to admit it and quickly opened his mouth and said: "It's nothing, don't make random suspicions. The Queen Mother and I have known each other for many years, how could we have a falling out just because of a little quarrel?"
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows slightly: "So, is it still a quarrel?"
Gu Shanchang: "..."
It's not a good thing if a disciple is too smart! It's not easy for a master to hide anything.
Seeing that he could not hide it, Chief Gu Shan told the story of his coming to the palace to comfort Empress Dowager Yu in an understatement: "... Speaking of which, it is also my fault for being too busy. The Empress Dowager has her own opinions, and it is useless for me to say anything. Simply
I don’t want to talk too much anymore. From now on, I will go with you to the feudal lands, where the mountains are high and the rivers are far away. I just don’t have to worry about this."
Without waiting for Xie Mingxi to open her mouth to comfort her, she smiled and hugged A'luo: "We haven't seen each other for so many days, and A'luo has become even cuter."
Chief Gu refused to have an in-depth discussion on this topic, and Xie Mingxi did not force it. She followed the tone of Chief Gu's words and said with a smile: "Yes, Ah Luo has grown up a lot."
"The child is still young, and his appearance changes every few days." The more Mr. Gu looked at A Luo, the more he loved him. He stretched out his hand to caress A Luo's delicate little face: "It's a pity that A Luo's full moon wine has not been arranged. At the hundredth day, it's normal again.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, there is no wedding ceremony."
Xie Mingxi smiled casually and said: "His Highness has planned to submit a memorial and ask for vassal status. When we go to the vassal land in the future, we will hold a first-year banquet for A Luo Haosheng."
Gu Shan responded with a long smile.
"Princess of Shu," Cong Yu and others also changed their titles: "Young Madam Lu and Young Madam Li are here together."
When friends came, Xie Mingxi was in a happy mood and said with a smile: "Let them in quickly."
…
Lin Weiwei and Fang Ruomeng were both still young. When Emperor Jianwen passed away, neither of them had the qualifications to enter the palace and kneel in mourning. In total, they had not seen Xie Mingxi for more than two months.
After meeting, first look at each other.
"You've lost some weight." Lin Weiwei felt a little distressed.
Fang Ruomeng added: "You are in good spirits."
Xie Mingxi chuckled and said, "You two have gained some weight."
Lin Weiwei's premature birth was very hard on her body, so she took good care of her for several months and finally became plumper. As for Fang Ruomeng, her slender figure was more than round.
"Stop making fun of me." Fang Ruomeng laughed at himself: "I have headaches all day long because of two naughty bastards. Somehow, I haven't lost any weight at all, and I have become plumper."
"I can't wear the clothes I used to wear now. I have an excuse to make more new clothes."
Xie Mingxi and Lin Weiwei laughed out loud.
Fang Ruomeng can be said to have endured all the hardships until the end.
After giving birth to a pair of twins, Fang Ruomeng established a firm foothold in her husband's family. Nowadays, Li Mo and Li Xiangru are estranged and rarely interact with each other. The relationship between the couple has become deeper and deeper.
Big heart and fat body, this sentence is very appropriate when applied to Fang Ruomeng.
After joking for a while, Lin Weiwei suddenly whispered: "Does His Highness the King of Shu intend to establish vassal status as soon as possible?"
Xie Mingxi's heart moved and she asked calmly: "Why do you suddenly ask these questions?"
Lin Weiwei did not sell out, and said softly: "My grandfather is aware of the movements in the court. Last night, Brother Lu told me about this. He also discussed with me that he would like to go to Shu as an official with His Majesty the King of Shu."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi was extremely shocked and blurted out: "Sister Lin, are you kidding me?"
With Lu Chi's background and talent, there is no need to go out to become an official and gain qualifications. If he stays in the capital and starts as a sixth-rank official, if nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to steadily become a minister after more than ten or twenty years.
.
Fang Ruomeng obviously didn't expect Lin Weiwei's sudden appearance, and looked at Lin Weiwei in astonishment.
Why did Lu Chi, who had a bright future, suddenly go to Shu to become an official?
Lin Wei slightly suppressed his smile and said with a serious face: "Thank you, sister, how can I just make fun of such a big thing?"
"Brother Lu has always wanted to leave the capital and become an official. However, he has always been hesitant about where to go. His Highness the King of Shu intended to join the vassal state, so Brother Lu thought of going to Shu together. It can not only broaden his horizons, but also
Increase your knowledge. It may take five years or ten years. Once you are tempered, it will not be too late to return to the capital and join the Sixth Division."
