185. Enthronement Hall

On this day, the wind is light and the clouds are light, and the warm sun is shining.

The New Year is less than half a month away, and Jinling City has already entered the cold winter. Although Nangong has never snowed much, the cold taste in the air still makes people feel uncomfortable. However, today, the entire Jinling City seems to have forgotten the sorrow of the death of the previous emperor and the cold of winter. The new emperor ascended the throne, and the whole world celebrated. There are not many things that the grass people need to understand, they just need to happily celebrate the new emperor's accession to the throne and wait for the amnesty to the world. Others, on the other hand, secretly thought in their hearts about the direction in which the new emperor who was about to ascend the throne would take Great Xia.

Although it is said that the first emperor has just died, he is simple. But the new emperor's ascension to the throne is a big thing after all, and no matter how simple it is, it can't go anywhere. Early in the morning, Nangong Mo followed Princess Changping into the palace. In order to show respect for the elders, the new emperor had decreed the two remaining imperial aunts, Princess Changping and Princess Lingyi, who could be regarded as the eldest princess, the day before he ascended the throne. Since then, people need to call Princess Changping "the eldest princess of Changping." "That's it.

There is a difference between men and women, and Princess Changping can only tell the three Xiao Qianchi brothers and Xiao Qiannan, the prince of King Qi, who just arrived in Jinling last night, and only took Nangong Mo into the palace. However, Xiao Qianjiong has been tamed by Nangong Mo, and without him making trouble, presumably nothing will happen to the four cousins.

Entering the palace, the princess and Princess Yue, who were already six or seven months pregnant, were responsible for receiving the ladies in the palace. Or should it be called the Queen Mother and the Empress.

The Empress Dowager's expression was a little melancholy and pale, as if she were two people from the princess Nangong Mo had seen in the Prince's Mansion. It seems that becoming the first empress dowager of the Great Xia Dynasty does not make this woman happy. However, the queen is a little richer than she has seen before, with a big belly and a faint and appropriate smile on her face. This woman seems to have completed the transformation from a princess of a county to a queen of a country in a short period of time. Wearing a phoenix robe, because of his heavy body, he didn't wear cumbersome jewelry, but his not outstanding face still gave people a kind of lofty majesty. I believe that no one who sees her will think that she is not worthy of the position of queen. It's just that... Nangong Mo looked at the queen's faint eyes, and knew it in his heart. In the eyes of the queen, there was no longer the melancholy and bitterness caused by her husband's half-heartedness, only complete calm. This not-so-beautiful woman gave up her love for her husband.

"I've seen the Queen Mother, I've seen the Queen."

"Fifth sister, hurry up, and the county lord of Star City should also get up." The Queen Mother hurriedly smiled, raised her hand and sat down with the two of them in their lower positions. Except for Princess Lingyi, no one present could have a higher identity than Princess Changping, and Princess Changping naturally sat in the first position on the right. Nangong Mo also took advantage of the situation and sat next to Princess Changping.

Princess Lingyi sat opposite Princess Changping, because this time the time was tight, and the princes and princesses from all over the country did not come, so there were not many people in the royal family sitting at this time, except for the two princesses and a few concubines of the prince.

The Queen Mother looked at Nangong Mo, who was sitting next to Princess Changping, and her eyes were a little complicated. laughed softly: "It is said that the fifth sister and her daughter-in-law have a good relationship like a mother and daughter, and now that I see that this is the case, the mourning family is really envious." ”

Princess Changping smiled: "This child is obedient and sensible, and if Jun'er is not in Jinling, she is the only one to accompany me." The queen and all the ladies in the palace are filial, why should the queen mother envy me? Princess Lingyi smiled: "What the fifth sister said is, sister-in-law, you are going to be jealous when you say this." The queen smiled slightly, looked at the queen mother and said, "Exactly, doesn't the queen mother like her daughter-in-law?" ”

The Empress Dowager patted the Queen's hand and smiled: "You are a good boy, how can the mourning family not like you?" "The Queen Mother's words can be regarded as heartfelt words, whether it is as a wife, the princess of the county or the queen, this daughter-in-law's mansion has done a very good job. Virtuous and generous, and good temperament. Originally, there was some arrogance of the daughter who was born two years earlier, but since she became pregnant, she has become more and more docile and generous. Still looking at Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo, and then looking at his son and daughter-in-law, the Queen Mother, he still couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If the queen had the ability of Nangong Mo, would these things not happen now? However, the queen mother also knew in her heart that a woman like Nangong Mo might not be something her son could control. So there is no dissatisfaction with the queen.

The queen smiled: "The retainer knows that the queen mother loves the retainer the most." ”

"You." The queen mother nodded the queen's forehead with a smile, not seeing the envious and jealous eyes of the concubines sitting next to her. As the former crown princess and the current queen mother, she naturally will not take her son's concubine in her eyes. I have experienced a loving mother-in-law like the first queen, and I have heard of many evil mothers-in-law, and the queen mother also knows the importance of the location of the main palace, whether it is a family or the palace. As long as the queen herself does not make any mistakes, she will only fully support the queen alone.

Even the Queen Mother praised it herself, and the other wives naturally praised Nangong well. When the queen mother was the crown princess, she had an excellent reputation among the wives, and now she is the queen mother, and she has not carried away at all, and even the queen mother's family is still as low-key as when the first emperor was reincarnated, which is not at all like the eagerness of many families today. I have to say that the first emperor made great efforts when choosing a wife for his children and grandchildren. Whether it is the queen mother, the queen or the step-concubine of King Yan or even the princesses of many other vassal kings, there is almost no such woman who does not know the depth of proportion.

After talking to the Queen Mother for a while, the Queen Mother let the young girls go out to play. At this time, Xiao Qianye was preparing for the enthronement ceremony, but he didn't have to worry about what the ladies would collide with in the harem. Although Nangong Mo is already married, she is still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child in the eyes of these older generations, so she was naturally kicked out to play. Nangong Mo also knew that the Queen Mother was afraid that she wanted to say something considerate to the two eldest princesses, so she resigned according to her wishes.

The harem is really not an interesting place

It's really not an interesting place, standing in the somewhat bleak imperial garden, Nangong Mo looked up at the sky and sighed faintly. Regarding the death of the first emperor, it is not true to say that he is not guilty at all. If she had been determined to save the first emperor, she might not have really had no way at all, but she still let Xiao Chun kill the first emperor and leave by herself. Because she knew that with Emperor Xian's temper and character, she would never let Wei Junmo go after knowing the secret of his life experience, even if he was his own grandson. Even, Xiao Chun and Xiao Qianye will not let Wei Junmo go, but Xiao Qianye doesn't know it yet, and Xiao Chun is not the emperor now, and the country is not his, so he is naturally not in a hurry. As an emperor, Nangong Mo felt that Emperor Xian was a very good emperor. Although he was mean and even cold to his courtiers, he was very good to the people. What's more, there is also the expulsion of the Northern Yuan and the creation of the inheritance of Great Xia. But... This was definitely not enough for her to cause Wei Junmo to fall into ruin.

Raising his hand and touching his arm, which was a little cold, even the temperature in the palace was a little colder than elsewhere.

"How can you not be cold when you wear so little?" Xie Peihuan's voice came from behind him, and Nangong Mo turned around and saw Xie Peihuan, who was wearing a light blue embroidered orchid pattern, strolling towards him. Nangong Mo smiled back, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It seems to be in good spirits?" Xie Peihuan smiled faintly, took Nangong Mo's hand and said, "Mo'er, thank you." ”

Nangong Mo was stunned, and said softly: "It's just to help bring a sentence." ”

Xie Peihuan shook his head and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it to the noble concubine, where would anyone think of this?" "Even if I remembered it, I didn't dare to mention it. Although the wedding cannot be held now because of the mourning period of the former emperor, the Xie Mansion can at least slowly look at each other and prepare. For Xie Peihuan, she is not in a hurry to get married, but at least she can understand that she is free, and her future life is not endless. Nangong Mo sighed lightly, thinking of Concubine Lin who died so decisively.

Looking at the clothes on Nangong Mo's body, Xie Peihuan frowned and raised his hand to untie the cloak on his body and give it to her, Nangong Mo hurriedly reached out and held her down and smiled: "Don't toss." I'm not cold, don't freeze myself. ”

Xie Peihuan said: "I'll be cold for you." "Everyone else is wearing thick cotton clothes and fox furs. Only Nangong Mo is still dressed in brocade, and he looks chic, but... It's cold......

Nangong Mozhi didn't mean to be a maverick, people who practice martial arts, especially killers, are extremely strict with their own physical reactions. Most of the masters of the spirit of internal strength do not like to wear too thick, which can not only exercise internal strength but also affect their actions. Just like Wei Junmo, Lin Changfeng, and Jin Hao, it is difficult for these people to imagine how they would wrap themselves tightly.

Nangong Mo smiled, reached out and touched Xie Peihuan's face, raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is cold?" ”

Xie Peihuan was speechless, raised his hand and touched his face, "Okay, I'm cold." "Her hands are actually warmer than hers, and she really can't compare with others, so she cares about her more.

"Thank you anyway, I'm glad you're here, otherwise it would have been boring today." Nangong Mo said with a smile. Xie Peihuan glanced at her and said, "Do you know how many people in Jinling City are envious and jealous of you now?" ”

"Why?" Nangong Mo was surprised, she has been so busy lately that she is about to exhaust herself, okay?

Xie Peihuan snorted lightly and said: "Of course, it's because you have a good mother-in-law, whether you are married to a wife or a boudoir, who doesn't know that the county lord of Xingcheng has a deep relationship with Wei Shizi Floice, and he is also as close as a mother and daughter to Princess Changping?" "Most of the nobles in Jinling are pampered and carefree when they are in the boudoir. The mother-in-law is simply the first test in their lives, and this test is mostly not good. In the end, I can only wait for my daughter-in-law for many years to become a mother-in-law, and then test my daughter-in-law, and so on. Just like in the palace of the Queen Mother, most of the girls in the boudoir sit on the side of their mothers, while the young daughters-in-law have to stand behind their mothers-in-law to serve.

Nangong Mo shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "My life is good." ”

"It's a bad beating." Xie Peihuan was speechless.

Sure enough, as Xie Peihuan said, although no one dared to be disrespectful to Nangong Mo, he still heard a lot of sour words occasionally. Nangong Mo doesn't care, she lives by herself, let others say it.

"You really don't mind?" Xie Peihuan poked Nangong Mo, who was calmly drinking tea.

Nangong Mo looked at her and said with a smile, "What do you mind?" They sour me proves that I'm better off than they are. If I'm having a bad time, they're going to come and comfort me now. ”

"Big sister." Behind him, a familiar voice was heard. Nangong Mo raised her eyebrows, there are really not too many people in this world who can call her eldest sister. When I turned around, I saw Nangong Shu standing outside the pavilion looking at them. Frowning, Nangong Mo said, "You're not well?" "It's been a few months since I last saw Nangong Shu, and Nangong Shu is even paler and thinner than then. The extravagant imperial concubine clothes on her body only made her look even more overshadowed, and she didn't have the appearance of the famous beauty in Jinling at all.

Nangong Shu moved the corners of her lips, and said with a reluctant smile: "Isn't that it, I haven't seen the eldest sister for a long time, but she still looks radiant." ”

Xie Peihuan also knew that the relationship between the two sisters was not good, so she stood up and bowed slightly, "I've seen Niangniang." But he had no intention of quitting. Nangong Shu didn't care, walked into the pavilion and waved away the palace maid who followed behind her and asked, "Eldest sister, the Duke of Chu ...... Mansion" Nangong Mo shook his head, "You should know that I don't have a good relationship with my father." "She doesn't have any deep hatred with Nangong Shu, the Zheng family is dead, and most of the things that Nangong Shu offended her took revenge on the spot, but she doesn't have to hold a grudge. But there is no need to talk about sisterhood, it's just something that didn't exist in the first place.

Nangong Shu shook her head and said, "No, I want to ask... Qiao Feiyan's three mothers and sons......"

Nangong Mo looked at her and said lightly, "You still don't want to let go of Qiao Yuewu?" ”

"She killed my child!" Nangong Shu gritted her teeth and whispered, her eyes, which were always watery in the past, were full of gloomy hatred.

Nangong Mo sighed and said, "You should understand that you need your father now."

I need my father's support. "Nangong Shu is alone in the palace, and it is definitely difficult to move an inch without Nangong Huai's support. As for why her body is not good until now, Nangong Mo also knows in his heart, whether it is the palace or the harem, it is not a kind place.

Nangong Shu clenched the teacup in her hand, lowered her eyes and said, "I naturally know." Big sister, please... Can you help me bring a message to my eldest brother? ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, and Nangong Shu said, "You just say... I'm a little homesick. Please ask my sister-in-law to come into the palace to see me. ”

Nangong Mo understood that Nangong Shu was only afraid that she wanted to tell Nangong Xu about something, but it was not convenient for Nangong Xu to enter and leave the palace as a man, but Lin, who was the sister-in-law, did not have this scruples. Seeing Nangong Mo looking at him steadily, Nangong Shu smiled bitterly: "Eldest sister, don't worry, I just want to ask you to help me bring words." Since... My father never came to see me again. "The Duke of Chu Mansion does not have a proper housewife, and now Qiao Feiyan is not to mention going to the Yuejun Palace, even if it is inconvenient to go out. The Lin family has always had no brains and knowledge, and it is really possible that no one has ever visited Nangong Shu.

Nangong Mo naturally knew that things were definitely not as simple as Nangong Shu said, but he didn't care, just nodded slightly and said, "I'll bring it for you, but I don't know if my sister-in-law will come." ”

Nangong Shu nodded, and said with a bitter smile on her pale face: "I didn't expect that in the end, I could only ask for the eldest sister." "Stand up," disturb the eldest sister and Miss Xie, and take their leave. ”

Watching Nangong Shu leave without looking back, Xie Peihuan said thoughtfully: "Nangong Shu seems to be a little different. ”

"It's really different." After going through so many things, Nangong Shu has long been unfamiliar with the young lady of the Duke of Chu who was a little cautious and didn't have any brains at all. Xie Peihuan nodded and advised: "It's better for you to stay away from her, I always feel that something is wrong with her." Nangong Mo nodded and said, "I know, don't worry, if she really becomes smarter, she won't come to provoke me." ”

Xie Peihuan smiled, "Also, those who dare to provoke you are some unlucky people." ”

"I've seen the Lord of Star City." Outside the pavilion, a palace maid hurriedly came and saluted respectfully.

Nangong Mo saw that it was the palace maid in the Empress Dowager's palace, nodded slightly and asked, "What's the matter?" The palace maid said: "The county lord, the enthronement ceremony is about to begin, and the queen mother and the princess invite the county lord over." ”

"Got it, there's work." Nangong Mo and Xie Peihuan both got up.

"Don't dare, the slave and maid will leave."

The enthronement hall was held in the Qin'an Hall, the outermost part of the Imperial Palace. This is the place where important ceremonies are held in the palace, and ordinary concubines and concubines may not be able to come here once in their lives, except for the big day when the emperor ascends the throne. Because this place is far from the inner court of the palace. So when it came out, it was naturally led by the queen mother and the queen's phoenix sticky team.

followed the queen mother to the outside of the Qin'an Palace, and the outside was already covered with civil and military ministers and dignitaries.

"Knock on the Queen Mother, knock on the Queen Mother."

"Excuse me." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

"Empress Dowager Xie."

Nangong Mo stood beside Princess Changping, looking at the scene in front of him with some curiosity. Although I have participated in several palace banquets, it is the first time that such a big scene is held. There are many familiar faces among the officials opposite, Nangong Huai, the first spring of the Hubei Kingdom, the king of Jingjiang County, the princes of various feudal domains, and the heads of major families.

Seeing Nangong Mo, Xiao Qianjiong waved at her in a good mood. Ever since he was beaten by Nangong Mo and accepted a dagger from someone else, Xiao Qianjiong was no longer embarrassed to do anything right with Nangong Mo.

"The last time I saw such a scene was when my father ascended the throne." Princess Changping looked at the splendid Qin'an Hall in front of her, and sighed a little.

Nangong Mo said softly: "It's the first time I've seen such a scene, but the grand scene of the first emperor back then was not a chance to see it. Princess Changping smiled and said, "You weren't born at that time, but... When my father ascended the throne, it was much more lively and joyful than now. "Back then, who was not happy with the military generals of the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, I don't know what many people are thinking now.

"The first emperor has a spirit in the sky, and he will definitely bless the prosperity of the Great Xia country."

"I hope so."

"Your Majesty has arrived!" A high-pitched voice came, and the salutes and music rang out in unison. The carpet covered with red gold patterns stretches all the way to the arch. A few crisp sounds of the whip came, and the expressions of everyone present gradually became solemn. I saw Xiao Qianye wearing a golden dragon robe and sitting on the dragon robe. Under the twelve tiaras is a handsome and majestic young face. The dragon bowl stopped at the foot of the Qin'an Palace, and Xiao Qianye took the guard's hand and walked down the dragon bowl.

"See Your Majesty!"

Xiao Qianye raised his eyes and glanced at the Qin'an Hall above. Above the stairs there are only the Queen Mother and the Regent. No, even all three of them are still a little further down. In the end, he alone could stand on that supreme place. He suddenly remembered the words of the emperor's grandfather: The emperor, I should be the only one.

Closing his eyes, Xiao Qianye opened his eyes from the beginning, and his eyes were already firm. Yes, since he has come to this position, he should be the only one from now on.

Letting go of the guard's hand, Xiao Qianye stepped on the five-nine-forty-five steps step by step, and when he walked to the queen's side, he stopped and stretched out his hand to help the queen up, "Thank you, Your Majesty." The queen's delicate face had an appropriate smile.

Xiao Qianye nodded and continued to walk forward, until he reached the highest point, as for the Empress Dowager and the Regent, Xiao Chun were one order apart. Seeing Xiao Chun kneeling on the ground, Xiao Qianye suddenly felt a strange pleasure in his heart.

"All the kings are alive."

"Thank you!" The ministers said in unison.

The ceremonial music stopped suddenly, and there was a solemnity in front of the Qin'an Palace.

The secretary of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward with a holy decree in his hand and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Emperor Hong Wei Cheng'an, by the order of Tianming, Zhao created Hongji, Shengong Shengwu, and the descendants of the widow...... In the ninth year of Hongguang, the second ugly month is located in the Qin'an Palace. Take next year as the first year of Cheng'an... Amnesty to the world, proclamation at home and abroad, and knowledge of the salty envoys. Chin this. ”

"Grant the Emperor's Seal!"

The ceremonial officer stepped forward with the emperor's jade seal and respectfully presented it to Xiao Qianye. A hint of darkness flashed in his eyes under the crown, and Xiao Qianye reached out to take the jade seal in the brocade box and gently held it up.

"From this day onwards, I... It's Emperor Cheng'an! ”

"Majesty Xi à Long live long live!" Under the steps of the hall, the sound of Dao He was like thunder, the sound of salute music sounded again, and at the same time, there were 9981 salutes fired in unison. The sound of cannons that shook the sky was shocking.

"Your Majesty!"

"Zhongqing's life!"

Everyone thanked in unison, looking up at the young county king above the main hall. The era of the founding emperors of the country is completely over, and in the future, they will usher in the era of Xiao Qianye.

------Off topic------

Why, part of the edict on the enthronement is taken from the edict of Emperor Xianfeng's enthronement on the Internet, is it really not according to it. Knowledge, forgive me.
