The enthronement ceremony of the new emperor lasted for a whole day.

On this day, Xie Mingxi, as usual, went to Jiaofang Hall with Xiao Yuhan to ask for peace. and the Empress Dowager Yu, who is not smiling, has had a verbal confrontation. Then the two of them went to Hanxiang Palace together.

Compared with the calm and calm Xie Mingxi, Concubine Mei can almost be described as "too excited to help herself".

Concubine Mei deliberately picked out a palace dress that was not so plain and not too eye-catching, and put it on, and deliberately dressed up, but she had a little bit of the style of the first beauty in the harem in the past.

However, no amount of delicate makeup could hide her slightly red and swollen eyes.

I don't know how long Concubine Mei cried the night before.

Xie Mingxi opened her mouth and shouted to her mother, and Concubine Mei couldn't help crying with joy: "Xie, I really didn't expect to see Hong'er ascend the throne in my lifetime." ”

Xiao Yuhan, who was standing aside, turned his head awkwardly and silently.

Xie Mingxi resisted the urge to frown, held Concubine Mei's arm, and said a few words of relief: "The good life that the mother concubine didn't think about will be more in the future." Today is the great day of the emperor's accession to the throne, and the queen mother can't cry or cry. ”

After speaking, he smiled apologetically at Xiao Yuhan: "The mother's surprise was too excited, which made the imperial sister-in-law smile." ”

Xiao Yuhan barely cheered up and responded softly: "For such a happy event, it is also the proper meaning of the concubine to be happy." ”

Concubine Mei was shocked to realize that Empress Xiao, who had become a widow at a young age, also came, and suddenly became embarrassed and annoyed. Although she said it unintentionally just now, as far as Xiao Yuhan is concerned, it is no different from poking her heart.

Eh, she's useless. can't help at all, and always makes trouble for his son and daughter-in-law.

Concubine Mei hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and apologized to Xiao Yuhan: "I lost my honor just now, please don't be embarrassed by the queen." ”

Xiao Yuhan showed an extraordinary bearing at this time, and said with a slight smile: "The concubine said such things, but she will be outside." The seventh brother inherited the throne, and I, as the imperial sister-in-law, were also very happy in my heart. ”

"In a few days, the queen canonization ceremony of the seven brothers and sisters should also be held. When the time comes, don't call me the queen mother. Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to go down with my seventh siblings. ”

This kind of self-deprecating and joking tone is very human.

Concubine Mei didn't know how to answer, and subconsciously looked at Xie Mingxi.

Xie Mingxi had already laughed: "Where is the embarrassment, I think it's quite interesting." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Concubine Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief first, and soon became apprehensive again.

The alternation of the struggle for power in the palace is always accompanied by conspiracy and calculation, and even accompanied by bloodshed. Empress Xiao doesn't care at all now, she is both generous and virtuous. Who knows what she really thinks in her heart?

In case she secretly stumbles Xie Mingxi without caring about it, and then Empress Dowager Yu is eyeing her, how can Xie Mingxi, the queen, be stable?

and Sheng Hong, who was used to being lazy in the past, but now he is forced by the situation not to sit on the dragon chair. Once the son of heaven, how can it be so easy to do? There is no need to elaborate on the hard work, in case you can't convince the public, you will end up like Emperor Jian'an......

Concubine Mei subconsciously shuddered.

Xiao Yuhan was quite self-contained, and he ignored the complicated complexion that Concubine Mei could barely hide, got up and said with a smile: "I still have something to do, go back first." Seventh brother and sister, you can talk to the concubine for a while. ”

……

As soon as Xiao Yuhan left, Concubine Mei no longer had any scruples, and she couldn't care about her inexplicable timidity towards her daughter-in-law on weekdays, so she grabbed Xie Mingxi's hand and said all the worries in one go.

Xie Mingxi resisted the urge to sneer and sneer, and silently recited several times in his heart, "This is Sheng Hong's mother-in-law, this is the face that your mother-in-law should give", and then opened her mouth and said with a pleasant face: "Mother is too worried." ”

"The imperial sister-in-law and I have known each other for several years, and I know her very well. She's not the kind of person who double-stabbed. ”

"Besides, I'm not a messy person. Whoever wants to completely turn his face with me must weigh it carefully to see if he can bear the consequences. ”

Looking at Yan Yanyan's daughter-in-law, Concubine Mei suddenly felt a chill behind her.

Inexplicably, there is a feeling of "the daughter-in-law is too powerful, and the mother-in-law is a little afraid".

Xie Mingxi still smiled with his eyebrows in his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "As for the emperor, the mother concubine doesn't have to worry. All affairs in the DPRK and China are handled by the six ministers and important ministers of the cabinet. As long as the emperor knows how to use people and has the capacity to accommodate people, he can sit firmly on the dragon chair. ”

In short, if you don't die, you won't die.

It is also rare to die for Emperor Jian'an.

Hearing Xie Mingxi say this, Concubine Mei's flustered heart slowly calmed down: "Eh, my mother-in-law, there is nothing durable." If I don't make trouble for Hong'er, I'll be satisfied. ”

Concubine Mei's biggest advantage is that she is self-aware.

Xie Mingxi silently praised in his heart, and comforted him meaningfully: "The mother concubine is too humble. ”

Concubine Mei didn't see Xie Mingxi's true intentions at all, and took the conversation quite seriously: "I'm not humble. Over the years, Hong'er has followed me and suffered a lot of grievances. ”

"I fell out of favor, and my mother's family had no power, and when Hong'er was the prince, there was no help. Therefore, there is no ambition to compete for the prince, even if you want to fight, you can't compete with the rest of the princes. ”

Now it seems that he is blessed. I went to the domain early and avoided fratricide. This throne also fell on him. ”

"As long as everything goes well with Hong'er, it will make me close my eyes immediately, and I am willing."

When it comes to the last sentence, the heart of the love son is clearly visible.

Xie Mingxi's slight dissatisfaction with Concubine Mei also quietly dissipated.

In this world, not all women are smart and capable. Not all women are born strong and brave. Although Concubine Mei is weaker and not smart enough, she is a good mother.

……

In the evening, the new emperor set up a palace banquet to entertain the ministers.

There are also palace banquets in the harem.

The princesses of the feudal clans, who were under house arrest in disguise, were rarely allowed to leave the palace today and come to the palace banquet together.

The three of them sat down and watched Xie Mingxi and Xiao Yuhan sitting on the left and right sides of Empress Dowager Yu. His frustration and confusion brought out Xie Mingxi's spring breeze pride.

is Yin Xiaoxiao, who is the most friendly with Xie Mingxi, and her heavy heart has added a little obscurity.

Li Xiangru said even more, her heart was so jealous that she was about to drip blood.

Zhao Changqing also lost his sleek and clever past, perhaps because he was too worried about his husband, so he stood up at the palace banquet and pleaded for his husband while crying: "...... His Royal Highness made a big mistake, and his daughter-in-law had no shame to intercede for His Highness. It's just that I pity Brother Ji and Sister Rong. I haven't seen my father in days. The daughter-in-law pleaded with the queen mother for mercy, and allowed the daughter-in-law to lead the children to meet His Royal Highness. ”
