From Concubine Lan to the concubine, from the concubine to the queen of the main palace, and from the queen to the queen mother. In just a few decades of life, Meng Xilan has walked too long and too far, so that today, when she finally unloaded the burden on her shoulders, the deep fatigue in her heart was touched and out of control.

A heavy feeling of exhaustion spread out of her bones, absorbing all the strength in her body.

In a trance, there were two warm hands that woke her up.

Changsheng personally handed over the Empress Dowager's treasure book to his mother, and his eyes showed complex and incomprehensible emotions.

"Queen Mother, your sons will not let you down."

Meng Xilan looked at him fixedly: "Your Majesty, now that you are the master of this world, you don't need to be submissive to anyone." Take out the momentum of dominating the world and revive the prosperity of my Northern Yan Dynasty! ”

Changsheng nodded heavily, knowing that the road ahead was long and difficult.

After the enthronement ceremony, Meng Xilan returned to Cining Palace with high welfare.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the room knelt down to say hello to the queen mother.

"The Queen Mother is blessed, the Queen Mother is overjoyed!"

But after just one morning's work, the queen mother became the queen mother. Meng Xilan rewarded everyone. The new emperor ascended the throne, the whole world celebrated, and there was a joy everywhere.

"Queen Mother, the slave maid has prepared new tea for you, do you want to taste it?" Seeing that Niangniang looked tired, Baozhu stepped forward diligently.

The smile on Meng Xilan's face slowly faded, and she said lightly: "No need, change a cup of lotus seed Qingxin tea for this palace." ”

It's a big thing, but the little things that can be done are too many to count.

Baozhu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and nodded hurriedly.

"Niangniang, Xiaolizi is here, waiting for your orders."

Gao Fuli took the initiative to take a step forward and suddenly spoke, causing Chu Ansheng beside him to move his eyebrows slightly.

Meng Xilan glanced at Gao Fuli and said with a smile: "You, you, your eyes are too poisonous!" ”

When everyone rejoiced, only he knew the heaviness of her heart.

The crown prince has become the emperor, and Zhou Youchen is also respected as the emperor. He has completely become a puppet with an empty shell, and he can only open his eyes and wait for death every day.

"As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier. The emperor has just ascended the throne, and his fledgling wings are still in his infancy, and the ministers in the court and the central government now look obedient, but whether they are loyal or not, we have to see again......"

Gao Fuli took another step forward: "What Niangniang is worried about is what the slave is worried about. ”

"Then do you have a way to share the worries of this palace?" In front of the master, Gao Welfare never says useless words. Since he mentioned this, he must have been prepared.

"Niangniang, the minions have a lot of manpower outside the palace, although they have broken a lot before, but the minions are confident that they will consolidate and expand it within half a year. The slave can see people accurately, and he can check the news even more clearly, and he has never disappointed his mother...... Therefore, the minions wanted to set up a place specifically responsible for collecting news for the emperor and the imperial court. ”

Meng Xilan raised her eyes to look at him when she heard this: "A place...... Do you want this palace to give you an official position? ”

Gao Fuli lowered his eyes: "Niangniang, you know that the minions don't care about that." It's just that if a slave wants to act outside the palace and do things with people, he always needs a righteous and bright reason. ”

He is now the head of the inner house, and he is above 10,000 people under one person in the palace, but outside the palace, his reputation is afraid that it is not as loud as Jing Zhaoyin.

"This matter, Bengong thinks about it a little, and you can prepare again."

Although Meng Xilan didn't nod immediately, Gao Fuli knew in his heart that Niangniang would be on time sooner or later, but sooner or later.

Chu Ansheng listened quietly on the side, but saw Gao Fuli suddenly turn his head and glance at himself.

"Mother, the minion has a small request."

Meng Xilan nodded lightly when she heard this: "Say it." ”

"Xiao Shengzi has been following Niangniang for a while, and now it's time for him to go out and see the world."

He seemed to have something to say, Meng Xilan looked at Chu Ansheng's side face, and saw that he frowned slightly, as if he didn't like it in his heart.

"You're going to take him out of the palace and walk around?"

"Yes, sis!" Gao Welfare insisted in a tone and seemed full of confidence.

When Chu Ansheng heard this, he couldn't help but take a step forward and said: "Niangniang, since Father-in-law Gao has worked hard, the slave will walk around with him, and learn his ability by the way." ”

When he said this, his tone was not good.

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows: "Okay, you can go with him." ”

While talking, Baozhu came over with the freshly brewed lotus seed Qingxin tea.

Gao Fuli and Chu Ansheng silently retreated together.

Outside the hall, Chu Ansheng's pace accelerated, caught up with Gao Fuli in front, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law Gao, what do you want?" ”

Gao Fuli saw that his face was very ugly, so he said: "Don't think about it too much, the miscellaneous family is just planning for you." ”

Chu Ansheng was silent when he heard this, staring at him.

"If you want to live as a eunuch for the rest of your life, do you want to stay in the palace for the rest of your life? Niangniang has high hopes for you, and when the time is right, sooner or later you will be free! Don't you want to do something for the Chu family? ”

Chu Ansheng's face was heavy, and his heart was even more like being pressed by a thousand pounds of heavy stones, which was heavy, making him breathless.

What else could he do with this ragged body?

Gao Fuli seemed to see through his thoughts: "Don't underestimate yourself, and don't underestimate the ability of eunuchs." The road you have to go in the future is still long, and it is still far ......away," he said, put his hands behind his back, and continued to walk forward, his back slightly stiff, revealing full of confidence.

Chu Ansheng stood in place, hesitated a little, and then followed.

……

After a bowl of Qingxin tea, Meng Xilan's mood did ease slightly.

Suddenly, Xie Zhenzhen came with the harem concubines to say goodbye.

She was dressed in the queen's palace costume and came to her dignified and gorgeous, and the three people behind her were also exquisite, and all of them were beaming with joy on their faces.

Meng Xilan looked at them and smiled slightly: "Today is a good day for the emperor, and it is also a good day for you." ”

"The peace of this harem depends on you in the future."

"What the queen mother said is that the concubines will definitely get along with their sisters in the future."

Meng Xilan looked at Xie Zhenzhen and said, "This palace has confidence in you. ”

She looked at Zhou Yan'er and them again: "You all have to be good, serve the emperor well, and spread the branches and leaves for the emperor as soon as possible." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were happy.

However, they know very well in their hearts that what the Queen Mother really wants is the prince, not the prince.

The corners of Xie Zhenzhen's mouth pursed slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

She must give birth to the prince as soon as possible and make him the crown prince as soon as possible.

……

The tedious rituals, the civil and military worship of the Manchu Dynasty, a whole day, is enough to make people tired.

After Zhou Youchen came down, although he still seemed to be full of energy, he was actually weak.

Shen Dan came over to serve tea and smiled sweetly: "The slave maid asks the emperor for peace, long live." ”

At today's ceremony, she couldn't see his scenery, so she could only wait until all the excitement was over before she dared to show her face in front of him.

When Changsheng saw her, a soft light flashed in his dark eyes.

"Where have you been all day?"

He hadn't seen her since morning.

Shen Dan smiled slightly and stepped forward: "The slave maid has been praying for the emperor in the Buddhist hall in the palace. Today is the emperor's big day......"

Before she finished her words, Zhou Youchen opened his arms to her and said, "Come here." ”

Shen Dan was slightly stunned, standing a little overwhelmed by standing in place.

Changsheng repeated again: "Come here." ”

Shen Dan was obedient this time, and walked slowly in front of him step by step. But he hugged her and put her in his arms. "I miss you so much......"

He rarely said such intimate words, Shen Dan was stunned when he heard it, and he bowed his head.

"I need you, and you will always stay by my side in the future."

Shen Dan burst into tears when he heard this.

When the two were in love, Xiao Chunzi from outside came in to report: "Long live Lord, someone from Kunning Palace has come, ask His Highness when will he pass?" ”

When Shen Dan heard this, he immediately withdrew from Changsheng's arms and stood up in an orderly manner.

Xiao Chunzi also knew that she was not at the right time, but since the queen mother had sent someone, he had to come over to inform him. Before, the queen sent someone over and asked him to send him away at will.

Changsheng looked at Shen Dan and said to Xiao Chunzi: "Send someone to inform the queen, I won't go tonight!" ”

“…… This ......" Xiao Chunzi was slightly stunned when she heard this, and her expression was slightly embarrassed.

Shen Dan spoke at the right time: "Long live Lord, on a day like this, you should celebrate with the queen mother." ”

Changsheng grabbed her hand, and then said to Xiao Chunzi, "Didn't you hear what I said? ”

"Yes, the minion will do it." Koharuko hurriedly responded.

The master has made up his mind, and he naturally does not dare to disobey.

Xiao Chunzi bowed and retreated, and Shen Dan looked uneasy: "Long live Lord, you are like this...... It will only embarrass the slave maid......"

Changsheng tightened her hand: "What are you afraid of?" I didn't stay for you, as the king of a country, I have to do a lot of things. ”

Shen Dan raised his eyes to look at him, and slowly pulled out his hand: "Since this is the case, the slave maid will wait for His Highness to approve the recital." ”

Changsheng curled the corners of his mouth: "Don't be in a hurry first, wait for me to change into more comfortable clothes." ”

Shen Dan was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that he was careless. I should have waited for His Highness to change his clothes and freshen up first, but I forgot about it now......

With a smile on his face, Changsheng turned around and strode towards the inner hall, and Shen Dan quickly followed, holding the civilian clothes and boots that had already been prepared.

The inner hall was silent, the two were silent to each other, and after the clothes belt was untied, Changsheng looked down, causing Shen Dan to blush slightly.

Changsheng took her hand, pressed it to his heart, and sighed softly: "Today is the first day of my ascension to the throne, but I don't have any joy in my heart. ”

"Why?" Shen Dan put away his shyness and looked up in confusion.

"Because my father ......"

Shen Dan bit his lip when he heard this, lowered his head, and stopped talking.

"Although my father's illness is very serious, there may be a possibility of recovery! What if one day he gets better? Changsheng's tone was low, suppressing his breathing: "Should I return this country to him?" Or ......"

"Shhhh......hh ”
