Sheng Hong Xie Mingxi was actually in the main hall, talking to Queen Yu.

He was hung in the side hall and sat for half an hour, but the old seven husband and wife entered the main hall early!

The third prince was furious in his heart, and his face was kind and gentle: "When did the seventh emperor brother and seven brothers and sisters come to the Jiaofang Palace?" Knowing that you were also coming, we went to the Fulin Palace first and came with you. ”

The third prince's careful thinking, how could he hide it from Xie Mingxi.

Xie Mingxi smiled faintly and said, "Today, the master entered the palace to visit the queen mother. The queen mother knew that I was worried about the master in my heart, so she summoned me to the Jiaofang Hall to gossip. His Highness was idle, so he came with him. ”

Sheng Hong smiled and took the conversation: "I have to have dinner today." ”

The third prince immediately smiled and said, "It's lively when there are many people eating." Then he looked at Queen Yu eagerly: "Why don't you call the two emperor brothers and them over and dine with the queen mother together?" ”

Empress Yu said lightly: "No need. There are a lot of people, and the palace has a handful of old bones, I'm afraid it won't be able to bear it. ”

The Third Prince: "......"

The third prince has endured it recently, and immediately changed his words: "What the queen mother said is very true. The retainers were careless, thoughtful, and ashamed. ”

Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi quickly glanced at each other and remained silent with tacit understanding.

Empress Yu pays attention to food and does not say anything, and does not say much during meals.

Sister Fu and Ah Luo are still young, and it is inevitable that there will be trouble. The free nurses hugged it.

After quietly finishing dinner, the third prince took the initiative to stay and chat with Queen Yu. Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi retired with great interest and returned to the Fulin Palace.

……

"The behavior of the Third Emperor Brother is really unbearable."

Sheng Hong held back for a night, and when he arrived in the bedroom, he couldn't help complaining: "Even if you want to coax the queen mother, you don't have to look like this!" ”

Xie Mingxi pulled the corners of his lips sarcastically: "Only in this way can the queen mother be satisfied." ”

That's just as well.

Empress Yu's intentions are already quite obvious. It is to suppress the three princes in an all-round way, the three princes must bow their heads, and everything is based on the will of Queen Yu.

In order to ascend the throne smoothly, the three princes had no choice but to do so.

Sheng Hongdu was embarrassed by the three princes: "The dignified prince, it's too aggrieved to do this." ”

Xie Mingxi said disapprerovingly: "If you bow your head and give in in exchange for the throne, not to mention the third prince, even the fourth prince with an arrogant temperament will be willing to bow his head." ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

He wouldn't want to do it anyway!

Xie Mingxi seemed to see through his thoughts, and smiled silently: "In front of the throne, what dignity do you need?" Moreover, the face that is lost today will always be regained one day when the power is in hand in the future. ”

"It doesn't matter whether the third prince is sincere or not. The important thing is whether he will be able to successfully take power in the future. ”

Sheng Hong's eyes flashed, and he frowned slightly: "You mean, the queen mother has the intention of getting involved in the government?" ”

Xie Mingxi said lightly: "If she didn't have this intention, she would have stopped a long time ago, and waited steadily to be the queen mother." ”

The more Sheng Hong thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his brows twisted unconsciously.

Xie Mingxi stretched out his hand, gently smoothed Sheng Hong's eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Sheng Hong, we don't want to be involved in it, so we have to be prepared." The faster you go, the better. ”

Sheng Hong glanced at Xie Mingxi deeply: "Okay." ”

……

The long night, the night talk of the husband and wife, and the joy of the boudoir, there is no need to mention it.

On the second day, the weather was sunny and the spring was just right.

Hundreds of officials have come to the Jinluan Palace.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu personally presided over the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.

Worship the heavens and ancestors, announce to the world, the new emperor ascended the throne, and changed the year name to Jian'an.

From this day on, the third prince officially ascended the throne as the Son of Heaven and also became Emperor Jian'an.

The title of the second prince cannot be continued in the future. The second prince is called King Lu, the fourth prince is King Ning, the fifth prince is King Min, and the seventh prince is King Shu.

The Son of Heaven ascended the throne, and the ceremony was quite grand, and it was busy from the fifth watch until dusk. After that, it was the palace feast. Because the time of the death of the first emperor was still short, and he was still in the period of national mourning, he was not allowed to sing, dance, drink and feast. The palace banquet of the new emperor's accession to the throne was also a little serious and dull, and there was no laughter.

Emperor Jian'an, who wore a dragon robe, had a little regret about this, but more of an irrepressible ecstasy and pleasure. What if he couldn't smile on his face, he had already laughed a hundred times in his heart.

Sitting on the dragon chair, all the ministers knelt at their feet. The brothers, who were regarded as opponents in the past, also had to bow down to the Son of Heaven.

What a pleasure!

Emperor Jian'an tried his best to restrain the happiness in his heart, and sighed first: "My father's return to heaven is less than a hundred days." The country cannot be without a king for a day, and I will perform the gift of enthronement. ”

"It's just that I sit here, thinking of my father, and my heart is very sad. At today's palace banquet, I want to pay tribute to my father and emperor three cups. ”

After speaking, he stood up and spilled the water and wine in his hand on the ground.

Emperor Jian'an's move immediately attracted the admiration and imitation of the ministers.

Sheng Hong glanced at the new emperor who was pretentious, and secretly rolled his eyes in his heart.

Come on, do a full set of plays.

Sheng Hong also got up and spilled the wine in the cup on the ground. I said silently in my heart, Father, if you know the ground, bless my son to leave Beijing and become a vassal as soon as possible!

……

The ascension of the new emperor to the throne is a happy event celebrated by the whole world. The harem also set up a palace banquet.

It stands to reason that this palace banquet should be handled by Xiao Yuhan, the new queen. However, Empress Dowager Yu, who was promoted to the queen mother, obviously had no intention of delegating power, and still continued to follow the old routine.

Empress Xiao was silent.

At the palace banquet, Empress Dowager Yu sat at the top, Empress Xiao sat on the left side, and Princess Lu and Princess Ning sat down in turn.

Xie Mingxi, the princess of Shu, sat at the same table as Princess Min and Yin Xiaoxiao.

Today's palace banquet, it is not appropriate to say more, the two exchanged a knowing look, and each smiled silently.

Concubine Xian, who had been sick for many days and had not come out to see anyone, also showed up. Concubine Xian was better, only her face was haggard, but Concubine Li was thin and almost out of shape, looking a little older than Empress Dowager Yu.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Yu had to ask one or two: "Why is Concubine Li's face so bad?" Could it be that the illness has not yet recovered? ”

Concubine Li's little bit of pinching and strengthening thoughts disappeared at the moment when she witnessed Concubine Shu being killed by poisonous wine. These days of recuperation are by no means pretended.

Today, when the new emperor ascended the throne, she didn't dare to say goodbye to her illness anymore, and barely came out to see people. At this time, she was swept away by the Empress Dowager Yu's eyes, and Concubine Li's heart trembled, and she bowed her head and responded: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubine's illness has improved." It's just that it will take some time to heal. ”

Empress Dowager Yu snorted and said no more.

If Concubine Li escaped, her back was already covered in cold sweat.

Outsiders only know that Empress Dowager Yu is in charge of the six palaces, and only when she is in the palace does she know the weight of these four words.

Even the Empress Dowager Li, who was arrogant and domineering in the past, is now collapsed and unable to move or speak. Not to mention the rest.

If you want to survive in the palace, you should resign yourself to your fate and bow your head!
