When the time was approaching, Sheng Hong returned to Fulin Palace.
He carefully opened the door to the dormitory, only to see Xie Mingxi sitting lazily on the quilt, holding a book in his hand, reading with great interest.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Sheng Hong quickly walked to the bed and sat down, hugging Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled: "I have nothing to do. I'm reading a book and waiting for you to come back." He glanced casually and teased with a smile: "I will be the emperor tomorrow, and I have to change my name to the emperor. I wonder how the emperor feels?"
Sheng Hong rolled his eyes and pushed Xie Mingxi onto the bed.
The couple was having fun, and soon another fire was lit.
It took half an hour for it to stop.
Xie Mingxi exhausted all her energy and was covered in sweat.
Sheng Hong was busy and worried every day these days. He was busy in Yiqing Palace until very late before returning to Fulin Palace. At this time, he was so happy that he felt relieved from the depression in his heart.
Sheng Hong leaned into Xie Mingxi's ear and complained in a low voice: "I'm so busy and tired as a dog. I really don't know what's up for grabs for this throne! Whoever wants to take it away now, I guarantee you won't have any objections at all, immediately
Let me go back to the land of Shu and live happily."
Of course it is not that easy for the emperor to do.
Country, country, country, people.
These eight words weigh heavily on your shoulders, like two mountains. Those who cannot bear the mountains will gradually become gloomy, their temper will become more and more irritable, and their temperament will become more and more distorted. They will also become more and more moody and angry at others.
.
Just like Emperor Jian'an, he had a good eye but a weak hand, and mediocre talents, but he was unwilling and dared not to admit this fact. He tormented his brothers twice as much to show the majesty of the emperor. In the end, he also tormented his own life.
Xie Mingxi took a deep look at Sheng Hong and said softly: "You have come this far, and you are not allowed to retreat. From now on, you must not tell such jokes again. Even in front of me, don't open your mouth. Otherwise, you will betray yourself.
ambition."
The biggest advantage of Sheng Hong is that he can listen to the advice of others, especially to Xie Mingxi, and he is obedient. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Don't worry! I will only complain a few times in front of you. From now on,
Just don’t mention it.”
After a pause, he lowered his voice and asked, "You went to Jiaofang Palace with the emperor's sister-in-law today. How did your mother react?"
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes: "The queen mother asked me to write a letter to Shu and order someone to take A Luo back to the capital."
His daughter A Luo is Sheng Hong's lifeblood. Upon hearing this, Sheng Hong's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes lit up with flames: "What is she going to do?"
"She is A Luo's royal grandmother. She can do too much. And her methods are fair and aboveboard, which makes us miserable." Xie Mingxi said in a calm voice: "I have agreed."
"I will edit another letter and send it to Sister Lin. After Sister Lin reads the letter, she will naturally know what to do. However, she will have to wrong A Luo for a while."
If you want to report illness, you have to make a show of it.
A Luo, who is lively and active, has to be detained in the house and cannot come out to see anyone.
Thinking about that situation, Sheng Hong felt an unbearable pain in his heart, and said in a low voice: "This is just a temporary measure. We husband and wife are unwilling to bow their heads. With the queen mother's government, she will definitely think of other ways to make things difficult for you and me."
.”
"I am busy dealing with political affairs every day, and the queen mother can't reach into the court for the time being, so she can't help me. But you are in the palace every day, and I am really worried that she will deliberately make things difficult for you."
Xie Mingxi said calmly: "Don't worry. She will definitely deliberately make things difficult for me."
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong's eyes showed strong guilt.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Sheng Hong and chuckled: "Don't worry! I'm not a soft persimmon that can be rubbed by others. If she wants to rub me, it depends on whether she has the ability."
"When it comes to harem fighting methods, I have never lost to anyone."
The apology in Sheng Hong's eyes faded slightly, and he thought for a moment and said, "From tomorrow on, bring more people around you, and don't be left alone."
Don't be afraid of ten thousand in anything, just be afraid of the eventuality.
Empress Dowager Yu has been running the harem for many years and has many people at her disposal. If Empress Dowager Yu turns against her and takes action, there are countless assassination methods in the palace.
Xie Mingxi didn't show off and nodded in agreement.
The couple chatted for a few words and then stopped.
The new emperor's enthronement ceremony will take a whole day. Sheng Hong will get up at the fourth watch tomorrow. Xie Mingxi will also get up early together.
…
That night, Sheng Hong did not sleep peacefully.
He always slept well and rarely dreamed. But this night, he had endless dreams that never stopped. First he dreamed of the deceased Emperor Jianwen, and then he dreamed of the assassinated Emperor Jian'an.
Finally, he dreamed of eleven-year-old Sheng Hong.
Young Sheng Hong was wearing the clothes of the Sixth Princess, pretending to be a woman. He was thin and frail, looking at him silently and gloomily.
He did not feel guilty. He stood opposite the young Sheng Hong, leaned slightly and said: "I will live on your behalf well. I will be a good emperor of Qi. Of course, the standard of a good emperor in my mind may be different from yours."
Different. However, I will do my best to make Da Qi Dynasty stable and prosperous."
"I will love Mingxi wholeheartedly and treat her well. I will make her the happiest woman in the world."
"You don't have to worry about anything anymore, just go and be reincarnated with peace of mind!"
The beautiful and gloomy young man looked at him deeply, and his figure gradually blurred until he disappeared.
Sheng Hong also woke up completely. His mind was at a loss for a moment, but he soon woke up completely.
That gloomy and withdrawn introverted boy has passed away long ago. Now he is the real Sheng Hong!
He moved a little, and Xie Mingxi in his arms also woke up: "What time is it? Is it time to get up?"
Sheng Hong kissed her forehead and whispered: "When the time comes, someone will knock on the door to wake you and me. It's not the time yet, so let's sleep for a while."
Xie Mingxi raised her eyes, looked at Sheng Hong's slightly bloodshot eyes, and whispered keenly: "Did you not sleep well last night?"
Sheng Hong smiled helplessly: "Yes! I dream as soon as I close my eyes, which makes me sleep hard."
After a pause, he laughed at himself: "Actually, I am not as calm and calm as I thought. When I think that I will sit on the throne and become the emperor of Qi, I can't help but feel nervous. I am also a little excited and excited.
"
"Mingxi, am I hopeless?"
Xie Mingxi smiled: "This is nothing. I heard that Emperor Jian'an stayed up all night for several nights before he ascended the throne. You are much better than him."
Sheng Hong's somewhat tense nerves were soothed and calmed by Xie Mingxi's flowery smile, and he grinned.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and then Eunuch Wei's voice sounded: "It's the fourth watch, please get up, Your Highness."
Sheng Hong hummed and quickly got up and got down.
Today is an important day for him to ascend the throne as the new emperor. It is also the starting point for him to embark on a new journey!
