The new emperor ascended the throne, and everything in the palace was replaced with a new one.

However, because Xindi advocates simplicity, everything is simple in terms of food and clothing.

Originally, according to tradition, the new emperor was supposed to live in the palace before the old emperor.

However, the new emperor changed his routine and moved to Yonghe Palace.

Yonghe Palace has become a place where the new emperor handles government affairs every day and receives ministers.

After ascending the throne for more than half a month, the new emperor still looked unsmiling all day long.

The beautiful face with a cold look, like a snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, makes people only dare to worship from a distance, and dare not approach the blasphemy.

King Nanyang returned to King Nanyang for retirement as early as the second day of the new emperor's accession to the throne, so now the prince of Nanyang has taken over the position of regent of King Nanyang and takes care of court affairs for Gu Jinli.

The last time Qi Hao returned to Beijing, he initially rectified the court.

Many traitors were dealt with and implicated in a wide range of ways.

When many seats in the DPRK and the Central Committee are vacant, they have to be filled by selecting talents.

The most important thing is the post of prime minister.

Gu Jinli and Chen Zexuan looked at the list of ministers of the DPRK and China several times, but did not find a suitable candidate among them.

coldly, Chen Zexuan read out a name that was not on the list, which made Gu Jinli stunned for a moment.

Thinking of that person's temperament that has no quarrel with the world and does not want to be contaminated with mundane things, she thoughtfully considered: "Zi Ke is full of economy and is quite capable of governing the country, but he doesn't like officialdom, I'm just afraid that he doesn't want to." ”

After a pause, she added: "Besides, Zi Ke is too young, and the old ministers in the court will inevitably believe him." ”

Although Chen Zexuan corrected Gu Jinli many times, Gu Jinli was still unwilling to call herself "I" in front of Chen Zexuan.

As an emperor, there will be a lot of last resort.

She must be unemotional and undisturbed in front of people.

In this way, it can be invincible.

The people around him found that since the enthronement ceremony that day, all of Gu Jinli's clothes have also turned black.

She became more and more reticent, and although she didn't deliberately keep a cold face, her expression was too calm.

It's like a turbulent stagger hidden underneath, making it impossible for people to walk in and get through.

No one dared to mention Qi Hao in front of her, and everything related to Qi Hao.

Qi Hao is an indelible scar in Gu Jinli's heart, so everyone tacitly agreed not to talk about it.

But Gu Jinli didn't realize that invisibly, she was becoming more and more like Qi Hao.

Her dress, her eating habits, and the way she frowned and thought, pursed her lips and said nothing, holding a pen and writing with her head down.

Aiyue, Hexiang and Ah Qiao, as well as Chen Zexuan, who get along with Gu Jinli day and night, see the shadow of Qi Hao in her words and deeds.

They knew that Gu Jinli would not be able to get out of the sadness of Qi Hao's departure in this life.

It's just that she hides her sadness in the depths of her heart.

Chen Zexuan was willing to retreat behind Gu Jinli and silently be the man behind her because he loved her.

Before Gu Jinli ascended the throne, Gu Nianshi also planned to resign as the commander of the Praetorian Guard and leave the capital after witnessing Gu Jinli's accession to the throne.

But the thrilling scene at the enthronement ceremony still makes Gu Nianshi tremble when he thinks about it.

Therefore, for the sake of Gu Jinli, Gu Nianshi was also willing to give up his freedom, accompany her in this deep palace, and protect her.

He wants to take his Praetorian Guards to build an iron wall for Gu Jinli, so that no one can hurt her.

And Yin Zike, he also admires Gu Jinli, so Chen Zexuan guessed that as long as Gu Jinli needs him, he will definitely not refuse.

It's just that he can't say these words to Gu Jinli.

pursed his lips, and could only say in a deep voice: "Leave this matter to me, don't worry." ”

Seeing Gu Jinli nodded, Chen Zexuan continued to point to the vacant official positions on the list, and said seriously: "I think Liang Kuan is more suitable for this position." ”

"Also, the Dongshan Barracks used to be ......"

He almost blurted out the name of "Qi Hao", he hesitated for a while, quietly looked at Gu Jinli's expression, and said in a low voice: "Dongshan Military Camp, hand it over to Du Jiang and Qin Feng." ”

"They are old men in the barracks, not to mention their deep relationship with the soldiers, and they also have quite a lot of combat experience."

Gu Jinli's eyes dimmed, and when she heard the Dongshan Military Camp, she naturally remembered Qi Hao.

She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Okay." ”

Chen Zexuan noticed Gu Jinli's low mood, and changed the topic: "By the way, Yunguo was defeated and has not ceded the land for compensation, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Jinli thought for a while, raised her eyes and looked at Chen Zexuan deeply, and said slowly: "Brother, the emperor and empress of Yunguo are your biological parents after all, do you really have no ideas?" ”

Gu Jinli didn't mention it, Chen Zexuan has been so busy recently that he has forgotten his other identity.

However, not mentioning it does not mean that you can avoid it forever.

Seeing that Chen Zexuan's face stiffened and he didn't speak, Gu Jinli said: "Brother, Zike has the talent to govern the country, but he has no ambitions, so he is only suitable to be a virtuous man who is honest and honest and has clean sleeves." ”

"And brother, you, are resourceful, no one in the world can match you, and you have ambitions in your heart, so ......"

Chen Zexuan's fists clenched unconsciously, and his voice trembled slightly: "Sheng'er, are you driving me away?" ”

Gu Jinli shook her head and said with a straight face: "Brother, how can I drive you away?" ”

She sighed, and there was a little helplessness between her eyebrows: "There is only one prince under the knee of the Emperor of Yunguo, but that prince is not mentally complete, if you go back, maybe you can still ......"

Gu Jinli wanted to speak and stopped, how could Chen Zexuan not understand what she meant?

The muscles of his face tightened, he gritted his teeth, and said in a firm tone: "Sheng'er, I can give up the throne of the Qi Kingdom, let alone the position of the prince of the Yun Kingdom?" ”

Taking a deep breath, he said word by word: "If you say something like this, you won't say it again in the future." ”

After that, he walked towards the door and said, "I'll go to Yin's Mansion to visit Yin Zike." ”

Knowing that Chen Zexuan was like this for herself, Gu Jinli was moved in her heart, she suddenly thought of something, and stopped Chen Zexuan: "Brother." ”

When Chen Zexuan turned around, Gu Jinli showed a rare smile: "You tell Ah Qiao that there is nothing in the palace, so she doesn't have to rush back to the palace." ”

On the day when Yin Zike and Gu Nianshi were injured by Gu Chengen's gunpowder, Ah Qiao looked at the injured Yin Zike, his eyes were red on the spot, and he couldn't give up all day.

Later, I couldn't help but worry, so I embarrassedly proposed to Gu Jinli that I wanted to go to Yin's house to take care of Yin Zike.

Gu Jinli is from the past, looking at her shy little daughter posture, she understands everything in her heart, so she sent Ah Qiao to Yin's house with the new emperor's condolences to Yin Zike.

Although Ah Qiao is just a servant girl, she is also a good woman.

Yin Zike is a humble gentleman, whether it is his background or appearance, there are very few people in Beijing who can compare.

Such a man has no shortage of women's admiration.

Only, who can guarantee that there is no adulteration in those people's love?

Instead of being an outsider, Gu Jinli hopes that the person who can accompany Yin Zike is Ah Qiao.

After all, Ah Qiao can be regarded as knowing the roots.

However, in the affairs of men and women, it is not enough to be wishful thinking, and it is necessary to be happy with each other.

I am fortunate to have it, but I am not killed.

If Ah Qiao can really get together with Yin Zike, then Gu Jinli will find a highly respected minister in the court and recognize Ah Qiao as a righteous daughter.

In this way, Mrs. Yin will no longer dislike Ah Qiao's low status in the future.

In other words, it is okay to canonize Aqiao as a county lord or something.

Chen Zexuan didn't know Ah Qiao's thoughts, he said "um" and closed the door.

Gu Jinli raised her hand and picked up a fold, and just opened it, suddenly a nauseous feeling welled up in her chest, she bent over and retched a few times, because she hadn't eaten in the morning, but she couldn't vomit anything.

Uncomfortable drank two sips of tea and pressed it, her mind flashed, and her other hand quickly put on her wrist.

After a while, a bright light lit up in her cold eyes.

Immediately, the bright light turned into a dotted mist.

The sadness that I endured for many days, the strength that I pretended to be for many days, with tears, all of them were released at this moment.

Her hand was carefully placed on her flat lower abdomen, and her suppressed low sobs gradually turned into choked throats: "Qi Hao, thank you, you left me a thought." ”

The night before Qi Hao's expedition was June 14, and today, August 15.

Her menstrual affairs have been a little inaccurate in the past six months, and she forgot about it when she was busy.

Unexpectedly, she was pregnant for two full months.

Qi Hao is gone, she thought that she would be lonely in this palace for the rest of her life.

However, God still favors her and Qi Hao.

In the rest of her life, she has company and support, which is good.

"Qi Hao......" pronounced the two words that made her heart pierc, Gu Jinli's heart twitched again.

Tears dripped down the folds, staining them with ink.

Outside the main hall, Qin Feng and Du Jiang came back from outside, just in time to see Aiyue and Hexiang coming towards them.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them have known each other for so long.

The person who Qi Hao valued most during his lifetime was Gu Jinli, so Qin Feng and Du Jiang also took it as their responsibility to protect Gu Jinli and defend the Dongshan military camp.

As soon as Qin Feng saw Aiyue, he still couldn't change his habit of teasing and ridiculing her.

In the palace, they met for three days and two ends, and they quarreled as soon as they met, and the same is true for this one.

Seeing that Aiyue had a pox on her head today, he said cheaply: "Tsk, Aiyue, you were stung by a hornet's nest on your head, right?" What a big bag! ”

"If you want me to say, you should bite more, so that the head bulges out, it's like holding a longevity peach, how festive!"

Aiyue has been spicy recently, and it can be said that every meal is not spicy, so her body is damp and hot, and she has acne.

was already in a bad mood, and listening to Qin Feng's yin and yang strange ridicule of herself, her little temper couldn't help but come up, "Hmph, why is your chin blue, could it be that your skills are inferior to others, and you were beaten?" ”

"Hmph, what kind of gold medal guard you call yourself all day long, tsk, you're just like that!"

When Qin Feng was competing with the soldiers on the school field just now, he was careless, and he was punched in the chin.

Seeing that Hexiang's eyes were also looking at his chin, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable on his face, and choked back: "You have such a bad temper, be careful that no one will marry you in the future!" ”

Qin Feng's words are probably the biggest curse for an unmarried girl who has a beautiful vision and yearning for love.

Aiyue was anxious, rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward and beat Qin Feng angrily: "You have such a stinky mouth, who dares to marry you?" ”

"Hey, can't you two talk well?" Seeing this, Hexiang helplessly pulled Aiyue.

Du Jiang also pulled Qin Feng on the side and persuaded: "You are a big man, what do you always care about with girls?" ”

"Girls?" After hearing this, Qin Feng sneered, squinted his eyes and said, "Look at her, what does she look like a girl?" Rude! ”

"Speak well? You see, this man can't say a word? Why should I play the harp to the cow! Aizuki pushed Hexiang's hand away, then stomped her foot and turned her head away.

When she passed in front of Qin Feng, she deliberately hit his arm with a lot of force.

Qin Feng also had an injury on his shoulder, he snorted, subconsciously covered the injury, gritted his teeth and said, "Dead girl!" ”

Du Jiang didn't miss Aiyue's red eyes just now, shook his head, and hurriedly chased after him.

Qin Feng didn't expect his good brother to chase Aiyue away, he snorted angrily: "Heavy color and light friends!" ”

He Xiang looked at Qin Feng's angry and helpless appearance, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Three maids, each with their own characteristics.

Aiyue is delicate and straightforward.

Hexiang's appearance is the same as her temperament, gentle and beautiful.

As for Ah Qiao, because he often stayed in the "Ten Thousand Caves" for training, he would give people a sense of peace and alienation.

Her appearance is also cold, but in the end, she is a little girl, and when she encounters love, she will become a shy rose.

The lotus smile, like a blooming lotus flower, made Qin Feng unable to take his eyes off it for a while.

Seeing Qin Feng's eyes staring at him without blinking, Hexiang was puzzled: "Guard Qin, what are you looking at me like this?" ”

Qin Feng said without thinking: "You smile so beautifully. ”

After speaking, he realized what he had said, and covered his mouth with a "snap", very embarrassed.

Hexiang's face also turned red, after all, she had seen too much of Qin Feng's poisonous tongue towards Aiyue, and this seemed to be the first time she had heard him praise people.

Coughing lightly, she hid her embarrassment, but her eyes didn't look at Qin Feng again: "I'll go see the emperor." ”

With that, she walked briskly in the direction of the main hall.

A gust of wind blew, and the fragrance of lotus fragrance lingered in his nose, shaking Qin Feng's mind.

It was night, on the top of the desperate cliff, two figures were fluttering, and there was a feeling of returning by the wind.

Xiaoyaozi had silver hair, like an immortal, and stood beside the Master of Clearance.

He turned his head, looked at Master Clearance quietly, and said softly, "Senior brother, today is the fifteenth day of August. ”

The deep eyes of the master of the clear space also looked back at Xiaoyaozi, and he was silent for a long time.

Every year on August 15, it is the day they agreed to fight.

Before, Xiaoyaozi was injured by Mo Li, and in order to save Xiaoyaozi's life, Master Jingkong gave all his cultivation to Xiaoyaozi, so he now has no internal force in his body.

There is no doubt that the current Master of Clearance is not Xiaoyaozi's opponent at all.

Of course, Xiaoyaozi will not take the initiative to provoke the Master of Clearance this time as before.

Because, they made an appointment to wait until the day was settled, and they retreated to the mountains and forests hand in hand, and no longer asked about the world.

Now, Gu Jinli has ascended the throne as emperor, and it is time for Master Pure Sky to fulfill his promise.

It's just that as the Clearance Master was silent for a long time, the look of anticipation in Xiaoyaozi's eyes dimmed a little.

"That's it." He smiled bitterly, and his tone showed a little disappointment: "Senior brother, I know what you mean. ”

The Clearance Master's eyes moved slightly, and when Xiaoyaozi turned to leave, he unexpectedly held his hand.

Xiaoyaozi's body trembled suddenly, and he looked back at the Master of Clearance in disbelief: "Senior brother? ”

The gentle old eyes of Master Jingkong finally showed the gentleness that Xiaoyaozi had dreamed of for so many years, he clenched Xiaoyaozi's hand and said slowly: "Outside Jiangnan Saiwai, where does the junior brother want to go?" ”

Xiaoyaozi's old tears were rampant, and he choked up: "Wherever the senior brother goes, I will go." ”

After that, he hugged Xiaoyaozi and cried like a child who had lost his way home.

The Master of Clearance patted Xiaoyaozi on the back, and his eyes were moist.

The faint moonlight scattered on them, reflecting a circle of brilliance.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, with the assistance of the regent Chen Zexuan and the new prime minister Yin Zike, he built water conservancy, built embankments, built schools, reduced taxes, and did a lot of practical things for the people's economy and people's livelihood.

Of course, Gu Jinli also reformed the bureaucratic system, regardless of birth and status, and those who are capable live in it, which greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of talented examiners among the children of poor families.

For the old ministers in the court, Gu Jinli created a new "assessment system" by herself.

In other words, regardless of the size of the official position, it is necessary to conduct regular evaluations.

For example, the people can judge whether the officials are persuasive or not, and at the end of each month, they can suggest or supervise the work of the officials for the month.

At first, there were still ministers who complained, but after a long time, everyone gradually changed the bad habit of forming gangs and factions in the past, was honest and conscientious, and really solved the difficulties of the people.

Especially the prime minister, he used all kinds of shops in his hands to bring the people to get rich together.

The people's pockets are bulging, life is rich, social security is good, and every family is more down-to-earth and happy than when the old emperor was in power, so the new emperor only took more than two months to get a lot of praise and appreciation from the market.

The storyteller in the teahouse even used his three-inch incorruptible tongue to praise the new emperor as a mortal nine-day fairy.

No one cares about Gu Jinli's gender and identity anymore, after all, the people's requirements are not high, they just want three meals a day to eat and wear, and live a worry-free life.

However, the king of a country can't live without a harem!

Therefore, some people who are full of food and have nothing to do talk about the most after tea and dinner is whether to suggest that the officials play and ask the new emperor to enrich the harem.

Officials are embarrassed by this suggestion.

First, since ancient times, the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards have been women, and it is impossible for them to find women for the new emperor, right?

Second, the new emperor is a woman, and if the officials find a man for the new emperor, it will be ridiculous to think about it.

Qi Guofeng is not too conservative, but it is not open enough to let women blatantly go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion to find a young man.

After all, both men and women in this world are very harsh on women.

Many people will think that it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, and it is normal for them to hook up with each other outside like men, then they should be pointed out by thousands of husbands, let alone their new emperor?

Of course, the people who suggested stuffing men into the new emperor's harem completely felt that the new emperor must have an heir.

With heirs, the benevolence and ability of the new emperor to govern the country and the people can continue to be inherited, and they can also be stable and peaceful for generations as the children of the Qi country.

And those who oppose it feel that their new emperor is like a fairy-like person, and no stinky man in this world can be worthy of her!

Some people say that it is not unfounded, and the regent and the prime minister are very compatible with the new emperor in terms of age and bearing.

Kyochu was immediately divided into two major factions, and it is said that they quarreled all day long.

As for the new emperor of the party, she is compiling various incurable diseases into medical books with Wei Liao in the imperial study, and plans to popularize the book to the people after it is completed, so as to improve the quality of the people of the entire country.

"Your Majesty." Aiyue came in with a tea tray, and the corners of her mouth couldn't hide a smile.

Gu Jinli glanced up at her, continued to write something in her hand, and asked, "What is so happy?" ”

Probably has a little life in her womb, so Gu Jinli is trying to adjust her state, she eats on time, pays attention to rest, and people look at her body and are not as cold as they were two months ago.

Aiyue put down the tea tray and said in a brisk tone while pouring the tea: "The slave maid just heard from the ministers that the people want you to enrich the harem!" ”

"What?" Without waiting for Gu Jinli to speak, Wei Liao exclaimed in disbelief.

Realizing that he had lost some of his temper, he hurriedly lowered his head as if he hadn't heard anything.

The corners of Gu Jinli's mouth twitched, and when the pen was forced, there was an extra ball of ink on the paper.

Aiyue smiled and glanced at Ah Qiao, who was grinding on the side, and said deliberately: "By the way, Your Majesty, now the position of the imperial husband, the two people with the highest voices are the regent and the prime minister." ”

"Smack!" Ah Qiao's wrist flicked, and the ink splashed on his hand.

has been in the Yin family for a long time, and Ah Qiao's mind can't hide from Hexiang and Aiyue.

Knowing that Aiyue deliberately said it to Ah Qiao, Gu Jinli couldn't help but say angrily: "Aiyue, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Your Majesty, this is really not slave nonsense, if you don't believe it, Du Jiang and Qin Feng will come back later, you can ask them." Aiyue pursed her lips and snorted lightly: "You have been on the throne for two months, and everyone says that it is not good for the harem to be empty, otherwise it will be cold and deserted. ”

"In a while, there may be a minister with a portrait for you to choose a husband!"

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Wei Liao felt that he might make Gu Jinli even more embarrassed if he stayed any longer, so he found a reason to leave in a fun way.

Gu Jinli put down the brush, looked at Aiyue with an uncertain expression, and only after a while did her red lips open lightly, and asked faintly, "What you said is true?" ”

Aiyue nodded heavily, "Such a big matter, the slaves and maids don't dare to lie, many ministers have received letters of advice from the people, saying that the emperor wants to consider the emperor's heir." ”

Hearing the word "imperial heir", Gu Jinli's eyes overflowed with a chuckle.

Raising her chin, she said lightly: "Since this is the case, then you will send someone to spread my will." ”

Aiyue and Ah Qiao were stunned, they didn't expect Gu Jinli to agree so quickly, one was full of excitement, and the other was uneasy.

Who knows, but I heard Gu Jinli say: "I, I am nearly four months pregnant. ”

"As for the heirs, you don't have to worry about everyone."

The two maids seemed to have been struck by lightning, and their two pairs of eyes fell straight on Gu Jinli's lower abdomen, which she couldn't see at all, and she was dumbfounded.

"Bang!" Qin Feng, who had just entered the door, heard Gu Jinli's words, his feet did not stand firmly, and he directly hit the door frame.
