"Respect Yao, respect Yao······ Is Jing Yao back? The old man on the bed looked at the people around him and asked eagerly. Unexpectedly, it was only three years, and the body of the emperor Huang Fu had already deteriorated like this. At this time, he has reached the time when the oil is exhausted, and before he closes his eyes, he must see Jingyao again, because he still has very important things to order.

"Back to the emperor-" The chief eunuch Chen Jing just wanted to speak, but the queen suddenly spoke, "You forget, King Rui is leading a large army to fight against the Huns at this moment, and the army is deep in the hinterland of the desert, and there is no news." The messenger has gone, and he has not heard from King Rui until now. "The queen actually lied, because she sent someone to fly the pigeon to pass the message to the henchmen of the border pass, so that he could intercept the messenger.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it." Huangfu Lin struggled to get up.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care, the Imperial Doctor has instructed you not to be excited." Chen Jing anxiously persuaded.

"Alright, you guys go down first, I want to talk to the queen." Huang Fu Lin suddenly calmed down, and his expression also glowed.

Everyone withdrew, but the queen remained in the house.

"Queen, you are finally going to get your wish." Huangfu Lin exposed the queen in one sentence.

"What the emperor said, the concubines don't understand."

"Don't understand? Why didn't the queen arrange this deadline for me? ”

"The concubines are frightened, what the emperor means is that the emperor who harmed the concubines is like this." The queen looked innocent.

"Queen, there's no point in pretending anymore, I've been married to you for so many years, and I still know your methods."

"The concubine wants to hear what the emperor has to say." The queen suddenly laughed.

"Since the prince's wedding three years ago, you have started to poison my daily diet." At this time, Huangfu Lin didn't look like a dying patient at all.

"The emperor said so, the concubines will be punished by the nine clans." The queen's words were diametrically opposed, and her face was relaxed.

"Now, the power of the DPRK and China is all in your hands. I underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be so vicious. ”

"I'm vicious, if I'm not vicious, then today, I'm afraid it's not our mother and son who are about to take charge of this harem." The queen's words suddenly sharpened. For a moment, her face turned hideous.

"Yes, I originally wanted to cultivate the prince well, and then use Chu Huaifeng's power to contain you, so that the prince may be able to succeed. However, in the past few years, I have seen coldly that although this boy is kind-hearted and diligent in his work, he really does not have the talents of a king. ”

"So, you moved the idea of Yi Chu, and wanted to put Xiao Yunyi's slut's son on the throne."

"I feel ashamed of Yunyi, so she ends up depressed."

"Hmph, I knew you still had a crush on that slut." When Xiao Yunyi was mentioned, the queen gritted her teeth. As soon as this singer entered the palace, she snatched all the favor of Huangfu Lin.

"However, I want to be easy to store, not for the sake of clothes, but because only Jingyao, this child, can carry the burden of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, Jingwen has always been filial to you, aren't you afraid of breaking his heart if you do this?"

"I can only consider the century-old foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Consider? The concubine doesn't have to worry about you anymore. In the future, the Great Zhou Dynasty will naturally have our mother and son to manage it, and the emperor should go with peace of mind. After saying that, the queen suddenly covered Huang Fulin's head with the quilt and pressed it until Huang Fu Lin stopped struggling, and she laughed insolently.

After a while, the queen adjusted her voice and emotions, and cried and shouted outside the door: "Come on, come on, come on, the emperor has died." ”

Chen Jing was the first to rush in, shouted "Emperor", and knelt down. Behind, Huangfu Jingwen and the princes, as well as Chu Huaifeng led the hundred officials to all kneel outside the hall.

The queen walked to the door of the palace and announced loudly to the officials: "The emperor has decreed that the crown prince and the crown prince will be on the throne." ”

The ministers kowtowed, and their mouths read: "Obey the will of the emperor." He bowed to the emperor and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

When Chu Huaifeng knelt down, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart: The emperor's body has declined so quickly in recent years, is it really because of years of state work as the imperial doctor said? In addition, what the queen announced just now was an edict, why didn't the emperor prepare the edict early in the morning?

The death of the first emperor really kept the palace busy for a while. Now, the Forbidden City is again decorated with lights, because the March mourning period has passed, and preparations for the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor have begun. And at this moment, there is a very important question that is still unresolved, that is, how those women in the East Palace should be canonized.

"Queen Mother, Xiang Wan is the crown princess, with the highest status in the East Palace, and of course she should be canonized as the queen now." Huangfu Jingwen thought that everything should be done step by step, who knows, the queen mother actually proposed to canonize Fang Xiaozhou as the queen.

"Emperor, don't forget the purpose of letting her marry you in the first place, now that Chu Huaifeng's power in the court is in my hands, his daughter naturally has no use value. Queen, Chu Xiangwan doesn't even think about it. "Fang Ruwei, who is about to become the queen mother, is very angry, is this son's heart really all on Chu Xiangwan's body?" Besides, as the crown princess, she has been married to the East Palace for three years and has not come out, does she still have the face to occupy the position of queen? ”

"Queen Mother, every time I go to bed, I drink that decoction at night, how can I conceive the emperor's heir?" Huangfu Jingwen can't say that he and Chu Xiangwan haven't had a round house so far, so he can only push the matter of having no heirs on the contraceptive decoction, which can just plug the queen mother's mouth.

"Hmph, no matter what, Fang Xiaozhou has already given birth to your eldest son, and the mother is more precious than the son, of course she should be canonized as the queen." What Fang Ruwei thought was that the position of the queen was very important, and it must be in the hands of her own people, so that it would be convenient for her to control it.

"Everything else can depend on you, but this one, you can't. If this is the case, Erchen would rather not ascend the throne and be the emperor. Huangfu Jingwen let out a cruel word.

"You, you······" Fang Ruwei pointed at Huangfu Jingwen and was furious: "What kind of soup did this Chu Xiangwan pour into you, so that you don't even want the country for her, and you are so disobedient and unfilial, you are really angry with the palace." ”

"Queen Mother, you are angry." Huangfu Jingwen saw that the queen mother couldn't stop touching her chest with her hand, and her tone softened.

Fang Ruwei calmed down, and said: "That's it, since you are protecting Chu Xiangwan like this, then the queen mother has to take a step back." Emperor, what do you think of this? The queen mother will not force you to make Fang Xiaozhou the queen now, but Chu Xiangwan doesn't want to ascend to the sky in one step, so let both of them enter the palace as concubines. As for what is to come, it will depend on the creation of each of them. Fang Ruwei thought to herself, first ease the contradiction, what will happen in the future, hmph, can she, the queen mother, still fight a little concubine.

"Okay, everything will be arranged by the queen mother." This is the best result, everything will have to wait until after the throne, and Huangfu Jingwen also has his own plans.

On the first day of the fourth month, the day when Huangfu Jingwen ascended the throne. Minxun Hall is the emperor's dormitory, and at this time, Chu Xiangwan is helping Huangfu Jingwen sort out his clothes. Huangfu Jingwen looked at Chu Xiangwan, who was focused, and suddenly said: "You all go down, it's good that Concubine Yan is here." ”

When everyone withdrew from the door, Huangfu Jingwen grabbed Chu Xiangwan's hand and said to her: "Xiangwan, I wronged you because I didn't give you the position of queen." ”

"The emperor is serious, and the concubines have no grievances." Chu Xiangwan was telling the truth. In the past three years, she has seen clearly how Huangfu Jingwen treats her. Huangfu Jingwen's patience and concern for her had slowly melted Chu Xiangwan's heart, she was not hard-hearted, how could she be indifferent? After all, there are only memories left in the past, and drowning in the past will only make those who love them sad. Daddy is also old, and the glory and peace of the Chu family need her to preserve. Perhaps, touching can also be turned into love. So, just today, she made a decision.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say to you." Chu Xiangwan decided to accept the emperor's honor.

"Huh?"

"After the canonization celebration tonight, the concubines want to invite the emperor to come to Guan Ju Palace to admire the moon with the concubines, how about it?"

"Xiang Wan, what do you mean?" Huangfu Jingwen didn't expect Chu Xianghui to suddenly give him such a big surprise. For three years, he has been waiting for Chu Xiangwan's response, but what he didn't expect was that today, Xiangwan opened his heart.

"The emperor has always cared for him, and the concubines were ignorant before, but from today on, the concubines want to be a really good wife, take care of the emperor, and accompany the emperor." Chu Xiangwan smiled and lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"Good, good, good." Huangfu Jingwen kept saying three "good" words, he was so happy, he hugged Chu Xiangwan and said, "It's been three years, I have finally waited." ”

Chu Xiangwan hugged Huangfu Jingwen for the first time.

On the main hall, all the palace ministers knelt three times and bowed nine times, and on this day, they ushered in the new masters of this dynasty, including Huangfu Jingyao.

It wasn't until the day before the death of the emperor that Huangfu Jingyao received the news that the emperor was critically ill. Although he has an eyeliner planted in the capital, the border is located in a remote area, it is difficult to communicate with the news, and there are people who deliberately obstruct it, and when he returns to the capital, the overall situation has already been decided. He also had doubts about his father's death, but now is a critical period, and it is not appropriate to act rashly, the queen is afraid that she has already arranged everything and wants to invite the king into the urn. Fortunately, he has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and no one can easily move him, and wait for him to find out the situation in the capital first.

The new emperor ascended the throne and canonized the harem at the same time. The crown princess Chu Xiangwan is a concubine and lives in Guan Ju Palace; Fang Liangyuan and Fang Xiaozhou are concubines and live in Chaoxia Palace; There is also Jiang Liyu, the daughter of Jiang Junfan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who later entered the palace, is Fu Zhaoyuan and lives in Changxi Palace; Shao Yue, the sister of the tiger general Shao Zhou, is Lu Xiuyi and lives in Pingyang Palace.

The canonization decree was read out, and the ministers were speculating: Fang Shangshu's daughter and Zuo Xiang's daughter are on an equal footing, so does it mean that Fang Tinglou, the household secretary, is also going to be one step higher? It seems that they have to grasp both sides well.

In the evening, there was a canonization ceremony in the palace, and all the princes and important ministers had to participate, and the emperor Jingyao had to respond to the story. At the moment of Shen, Huangfu Jingyao entered the palace. As he passed through the promenade of the Imperial Garden, a boy of about two years old suddenly hit him in the leg. He looked down and saw the little boy sitting on the ground crying, so he crouched down and stared at him. When the child saw him staring at him, he suddenly stopped crying.

"Hug." The little child suddenly opened his hands towards Huangfu Jingyao.

Huangfu Jingyao was embarrassed for a moment, he had never held a child, and he didn't know how to hold a child, so he was stunned in place.

The child still opened his hand, his small mouth pouted again, and he was about to cry again when he looked like him, Huangfu Jingyao hurriedly hugged him, who made him most afraid of the child crying.

"The slave greets the prince. Little prince, why did you come here? Concubine Yan is looking for you everywhere. A eunuch ran in the distance, and when he saw King Rui holding the little prince, he immediately knelt down.

"Get up." Huangfu Jingyao handed the child into the hands of the eunuch and turned to leave.

"Yuan'er, Yuan'er, are you okay, why did you run so far all at once? Let me see if it's hurt. Chu Xiangwan was anxious to check the child up and down.

Huangfu Jingyao suddenly paused, why? I heard the voice that appeared a thousand times in my dreams. He turned back to see who the owner of the voice was, but the eunuch just now blocked his view. He hurriedly took a few steps forward to find out. He thought to himself: Impossible? She's not going to be here.

"Mother Yan, hug." The child suddenly threw himself into Chu Xiangwan's arms. Fang Xiaozhou was dressed up in Chaoxia Palace because of today's canonization ceremony, so he asked the little eunuch to bring Yuan'er out to play. Unexpectedly, he met Chu Xiangwan halfway, and Chu Xiangwan took care of Yuan'er all the way and played with him.

"Okay, well, Concubine Yan likes to hold you the most." Chu Xiangwan hugged this small body and smiled happily. However, she didn't know that someone had been staring at her for a long time. That look went from hot to cold, and from cold to hot, and even the eunuch felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Chu Xiangwan also noticed something unusual, she raised her head, but she couldn't smile anymore.
