Chapter 155: The new emperor ascends to the throne
Feng Huanling originally thought that it was a miracle that the extremely strange dark clouds, thunder and lightning killed a dragon Jingming, but he didn't expect that after the rebellion in the front court was quelled, and then in order to avoid Emperor Xuan's remnants hiding in the palace and waiting for an opportunity to make trouble, he thoroughly investigated the harem and found that Feng Qingwan in the cold palace was also thundered to death by the thunder, and was circled by the palace people with straw mats and thrown into the mass grave.
However, all of this was only heard by Feng Huanling, because after Long Yucang guarded her and eliminated Long Jingming, he directly took her back to the Long'an Palace, which had been cleared in advance by the secret guard. said that they were afraid that she would get angry if she worked too hard, so they only stayed in Long'an Palace to remotely command the rest of the things.
The mess in the front court was mainly handed over to the Prime Minister of Nangong and Su Taiwei to clean up, and the affairs of the harem were handed over to Su Moxuan, who had just become the queen and was promoted to the "queen mother".
Although he hadn't seen the situation of forcing the palace to seize the throne a few times, Feng Huanling felt that they were afraid that after the successful usurpation of the throne, the most idle quasi-new emperor and quasi-new queen, right?
When it was time to go to bed, Feng Huanling found out, and he didn't know how Long Yucang did it, so he actually replaced everything in the dormitory with new ones, leaving no trace of the breath that Long Jingming had existed here, so it was no wonder that he was willing to stay here with her.
On the day Emperor Xuan was forced into the palace, the scene that happened on the wall of the West Palace, although the soldiers who were watching below couldn't hear what was happening at all, but in the end they all saw the terrifying picture of Long Jingming being thundered off the wall alive. Therefore, as the remnants of the rebellious party were eliminated, Emperor Xuan did too much evil to anger the Emperor of Heaven, resulting in the news that he was finally killed by thunderbolt.
In this way, there is no need to bother to operate the Nangong clan, which is bent on supporting Long Yucang as the emperor, and there is a call for the establishment of King Cheyue as the new monarch.
As the saying goes, the country can not be without a monarch for a day, Long Jingming conformed to the will of the people and succeeded to the throne as the emperor, and took the moon character in the original prince's title "Cheyue" as the honorific title for the Moon Emperor, and the year name was set as Cheyue.
Since it coincided with the end of the year, the new year was officially renamed the first year of Cheyue, and the official enthronement ceremony of the new monarch was also set at the beginning of the first month of the first year.
As soon as the new monarch ascended the throne, he granted amnesty to the whole world, and all the courtiers were promoted to the next rank, and those who could not be promoted were given other rewards.
In addition to the former queen mother promoted to the queen mother, the original queen was promoted to the queen mother, the first emperor's concubines who are willing to leave the palace can return to their own family to remarry, and those who are willing to stay will all move into Qianshou Palace, Banghua Palace, and Kang'an Palace, regardless of the rank of the concubine. The harem that belongs to the new Emperor Yue, only the Empress Feng is left, and she lives in Long'an Palace with the emperor.
For this reason, Xu Yushi and the old ministers made trouble for a while, but Emperor Yue would rather abdicate than resolutely change his original intention, and in the end they had no choice but to give up.
No matter how turbulent the previous dynasty was due to the new monarch's ascension, there was always a rare tranquility in the inner court of Feng Huanling and a queen.
Most of the concubines at the time of Emperor Xuan were still at the age of flowers, and many of the new ones who entered the palace last autumn had not even been lucky, so most of them were willing to go home from the palace, and whether they would marry again depended on the number of lives of each person. And in the end, there are only a handful of people who stay in the palace and become "concubines", including Feng Huanbing and Zhong Xiu.
Long'an Palace, Warm Pavilion.
Feng Huanling sat on the warm couch with a big belly that had been more than six months, and because Long Yucang went to the court to deal with government affairs, she found Su Moxuan, Feng Huanbing and Zhong Xiu to accompany her to pass the time.
"I said Empress Dowager Su, why is your body still so round, it can't be that you can't go back?" Feng Huanling saw that Su Moxuan, who had given birth for more than two months, had not lost weight, and was a little worried that she would be like this after giving birth, "No wonder you would rather be the queen mother than go out of the palace, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry if you go out like this?" ”
Su Moxuan, the empress dowager, who was only nineteen years old, teased the two precious sons in her arms, and said casually: "Are you afraid that you won't be able to lose weight after giving birth, and you will be disgusted by His Majesty the Moon Emperor at that time?" ”
Feng Huanling: "......"
"The emperor is so good to Niangniang, in order to insist that only Niangniang is left in the harem, and even the throne can be abandoned, where will he be disgusted because Niangniang gets fat after giving birth?"
It is clear that there is still a childlike and innocent little concubine Zhong Xiu, but she took Su Moxuan's words to tease Feng Huanling seriously.
Feng Huanbing smiled: "But Ling'er, I look at your belly seems to be bigger than in the same month, at least when Mo Xuan was pregnant with Qianfan, the belly for more than six months was not as big as yours." ”
In private, unless these little sisters are deliberately funny, they all directly compliment each other by their names, except for Concubine Zhong, of course.
As soon as she heard this, Su Moxuan also glanced at Feng Huanling's stomach a few more times, nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, when you were only three or four months old before, that stomach was about the same as when I was six months old." By the way, why haven't you seen those medical immortals enter the palace recently? He should help you see, with such a big belly, maybe it will be a twin! ”
"Twins?" Zhong Xiu immediately showed childlike joy, "The queen mother is so powerful, she was pregnant with two at once!" ”
Feng Huanling, who has been getting fatter and fatter recently, and her belly is a little exaggerated and worried, is also interested, "That guy Cangyun must be busy looking for the whereabouts of Yushu, why don't you ask Imperial Doctor Deng to take a look, it's been more than six months now, he should be able to diagnose if it will be a twin, right?" ”
Su Yue responded and hurriedly went out to tell the palace people to invite Imperial Doctor Deng, and when she came back, she heard Zhi Yao also say that the master's belly was much bigger than usual, and when she was pregnant with Changyou, it was only so big in seven or eight months.
Speaking of her son who died young, Zhi Yao's face that was originally happy for her master couldn't help but darken, but she quickly covered up the past, not wanting to make others sad.
It's just that Feng Huanling is already sensitive, and even more so after being pregnant, and then looking at Zhi Yao's still young and delicate face, it is a little distressing.
The women in this room at the moment have all experienced many hardships and dangers with her, and even been born and died together, but except for her being favored by Long Yucang, the other sisters have either not met their lovers yet, or they have no intention of remarrying because they have met someone unladylike before.
If they are all old and yellow, they are still beauties of the age of flowers, which really makes her feel extremely pity.
"Now this forbidden palace is different from the past, although you have all become the queen mother and concubine, but if you meet someone you like and want to leave the palace one day, I can promise you on behalf of the emperor that I will never stop you when the time comes." Feng Huanling said that he hoped that they could all find their own happiness, so he looked at Su Yue, Zhilan, and Zhi Yao, "And you too, as a woman, you have to find a good home after all, and you can't all be by my side for a lifetime." Of course, even if you get married, you can still communicate with me if you want to. ”
Su Yue, the eldest, couldn't help but smile and said: "Niangniang, anyway, the slave and maid plan to rely on you until you die, after all, you will be almost forty years old in a few years, and even if you can get married, it will just make people laugh." What's more, the slave maid promised Madame that she would always serve Miss You. ”
Su Yue was originally Su Molan's dowry maid, even though she was well maintained and looked like she was in her twenties, but in fact, she had already passed the age of marriage, and Feng Huanling was quite helpless when she thought about it.
Zhilan and Zhi Yao didn't speak thoughtfully, Su Moxuan was concentrating on teasing her baby son Qianfan as if she had nothing to do with herself, and Feng Huanbing was losing her mind thoughtfully, and the warm pavilion was quiet for a while.
Zhong Xiu, who was originally busy eating pastries, noticed something unusual, looked at the sisters, blinked and said with confused eyes: "Queen Mother, do we have to get married?" But Xiu'er thinks that it is not interesting to marry someone, if she can meet someone who is good to her mother like the emperor, otherwise she can only be wronged if she marries. Anyway, Xiu'er thinks that instead of marrying those bad men, it is better to stay by her mother's side to be relaxed and cheerful! ”
Looking at Concubine Zhong's serious little appearance, Feng Huanling couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, what we Xiu'er said is the most reasonable!" In fact, my sister also means that if you can meet a real beloved, you don't have to bind yourself here, if you can't meet it, you are willing to be a companion with me in this lonely deep palace, which is naturally the best. ”
The warm pavilion suddenly resumed the laughter and laughter in the room, but soon this relaxed atmosphere was broken by a sudden appearance.
"Does the lady really think that this deep palace is too lonely?"
Long Yucang, who was still wearing a bright yellow court dress, strode in, obviously the queen who had just come down to find him.
Although the identities of both have changed, their private names are no different from before.
"Hey, why did you go down so early today?"
Feng Huanling just slowly sat up straight on the warm couch, but the other ladies didn't dare to be rude and got up to pay homage to the royal driver, and then retired very interestingly.
No matter how tolerant the new monarch was to them, no one dared to indulge because of this tolerance, as if no one had explicitly stipulated it, but no matter the previous dynasty and the latter court, they only respected the new monarch as the "emperor", tacitly and deliberately distinguished from the "saint" that Emperor Xuan had called before.
Long Yucang didn't even look at them, he walked straight to Feng Huanling and sat down, as he did every day in the past, first carefully and gently stroked her belly, which was rapidly expanding as if it was blown up, and then kissed her increasingly round cheek.
Feng Huanbing, who finally walked out of the warm pavilion, saw everything in her eyes, and suddenly as if she had been pricked in the eye by a needle, she sped up her pace and left the ambiguous warm pavilion that suddenly made her feel depressed even breathing.
"How's it going today? Are there still restless courtiers who are deliberately looking for trouble? There were only the two of them left in the warm pavilion, and Feng Huanling simply lay down on his lap, "Didn't you order the withdrawal of the wanted Mo family before, and you also let it go out and say that as long as they want to come back, they can still be the original Mo family?" How's it going, is there any news of them? ”
