In the autumn of the nineteenth year of Jianye, Xie Zijin married into the Li family and became the wife of the Li family.

There is another loving couple in the capital.

Li Qin came to wait for Xie Zijin every day as usual. However, now that the identity is different, you can enter the East Palace in a bright and bright way, have tea and snacks, and wait for delicious food and drink.

When Xie Mingxi saw Xie Zijin, he would also smile and joke: "In the past, I refused to marry." How does it feel to marry a wishful husband now? ”

Xie Zijin blushed a little shyly, and said coquettishly: "I've been teased by my cousin many times. Now even my aunt comes to make fun of me. ”

Xie Mingxi smiled dumbly, and sure enough, he didn't tease and make fun of it anymore.

Xie Zijin Xiao seems to be when she was young, but she is much happier and smoother than when she was young. She has never hidden her favor and affection for this niece.

It is precisely because of her preference that Xie Zijin has had an outstanding status in the Xie family since he was a child, and he has been favored by his elders and has never been wronged.

The grievances and pains she has suffered, Xie Zijin has never had.

Xie Zijin's life is the life she once longed for in her heart.

"Zijin," Xie Mingxi stared at Xie Zijin, and through those clear and bright eyes, he seemed to see another self: "You must live happily." ”

Xie Zijin raised his eyebrows and smiled, his tone full of confidence: "Of course." Auntie, I am very greedy, I not only want to be a husband and wife, but also want to make a difference in the court. In the future, I will do my best to assist my cousin, and I want to become a virtuous minister of the Great Qi generation! ”

What an ambitious Xie Zijin!

Xie Mingxi smiled: "Okay." Aunt wait and see! ”

……

In the winter of this year, Concubine Mei passed away.

Concubine Mei is nearly sixty years old, her body is delicate, and she is recuperating all year round, and it is beyond everyone's expectation to have such a longevity. By the time the funeral is over, it will be the early spring of the next year.

Sheng Hong was quite sad and fell ill after Concubine Mei was buried.

Over the years, Sheng Hong has been busy with government affairs and has never had a day of leisure. This illness is not good if you don't want to stop. Fortunately, the state has a prince, and Sheng Luo is young and vigorous, shrewd and decisive, and has not made any mistakes in ruling on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Sheng Hong also recuperated with peace of mind, and lay on the bed for more than half a month.

Xie Mingxi handed over the trivial matters of the harem to a few henchmen and female officials, took care of her husband in person, fed medicine and other things by herself, and did not pretend to others.

Sheng Hong sighed heartily in his meticulous and gentle care: "Mingxi, if it weren't for this illness, I would have almost forgotten that I was old. ”

Xie Mingxi smiled and glanced at him: "You are only forty, you are the prime age of men, where are you old?" ”

Sheng Hong insisted: "I have gray hair on my head, which is a sign of aging. ”

Out of the black hair, a white hair somehow popped out. Sheng Hong didn't allow Xie Mingxi to pull out this white hair, and insisted on keeping it as a proof of his "getting old".

For the sake of Sheng Hong's rare illness, Xie Mingxi generously decided not to mind his hypocrisy, and followed his words: "Yes, yes, you are old." ”

Sheng Hong was unhappy again: "Do you dislike me for being old?" ”

Xie Mingxi: "......"

Lie on the bed all day and have nothing to do, right?

Xie Mingxi couldn't cry or laugh, and stretched out his hand to twist Sheng Hong's handsome face: "The illness is almost better, just go to the Qingqing Hall to see the twists and turns, don't lie in the Jiaofang Palace." ”

Sheng Hong cooperated very well and shouted "eh".

The old husband and wife are numb, which is not interesting.

After laughing for a while, Sheng Hongcai said in a low voice: "Mingxi, in two months, it will be my fortieth birthday." After my birthday, I will pass the throne to Arlo. Let's leave Beijing and go to Shudi! ”

Xie Mingxi was stunned, and subconsciously said: "I thought that I would have to wait a few more years." ”

"Wait a few more years, and I'll be really old." Sheng Hong smiled: "While you and I can walk, let's take a walk around." The rivers and mountains of Daqi will be handed over to Ah Luo! ”

Sheng Luo has been in contact with politics since he was fifteen years old and has been carefully taught the way of the emperor for nine years. It has been six years since he was appointed as the prince.

Over the years, Sheng Luo has ordered his ministers to be happy and convinced with his extraordinary ability and diligence. Today, the court is full of courtiers loyal to the imperial princess.

At this time, there will be no turmoil in the court.

Xie Mingxi thought about it and nodded: "Okay, this day will come sooner or later, let's pass on the throne this year!" ”

……

Sheng Hong saved the heart of passing on the throne, obviously the illness was cured, and he did not go to the court, and continued to "recuperate" in the Jiaofang Palace.

Sheng Luo Lu Tianyou led three children to greet him every day. Seeing that Sheng Hong's complexion was getting better day by day, he was even fatter than before.

Sheng Luo muttered in private: "My father's illness has long been cured, and he refuses to return to the dynasty for a long time, this is to be lazy!" ”

Lu Tianyou laughed in a low voice: "My father has been in power for twenty years, and he has never slackened. This time, while you are sick, you should be filial piety. ”

Sheng Luo just complained a few words, was appeased a few words, and continued to deal with political affairs in high spirits.

The Son of Heaven's 40th birthday came in the warm month of April.

The birthday banquet of the Son of Heaven was held, and the ministers sent congratulatory gifts one after another.

The Son of Heaven, who had recovered from his illness and was flushed, announced an important decision at the birthday banquet. He wants to pass the throne to the prince.

The inheritance of the throne of the Great Qi Dynasty was succeeded by the prince after the death of the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven can live for at least another thirty years in the Spring and Autumn Period, what will he pass?

The ministers were shocked, and even Sheng Luo herself was shocked by this unexpected "surprise", and she was speechless for a while.

As soon as the birthday banquet ended, the ministers left with different expressions.

Sheng Luo couldn't hold back for even a moment, and went to see Sheng Hong with a tense face: "Father, you have never told me about the succession. Why did you suddenly announce this in front of the ministers today? ”

Sheng Hong was not weak at all, and said earnestly: "Ah Luo, I have taught you carefully for several years, and now there is nothing to teach. You're a good prince. I believe that you will be an excellent son of heaven in the future. I've been sitting on the dragon chair for twenty years, and it's time to hand over the country to you. ”

Sheng Luo was not coaxed at all, and snorted: "Jiangshan handed it over to me, what are you doing?" You are in the prime of life, can you be the emperor in the palace? ”

"Of course not." Sheng Hong said righteously: "I will continue to stay in the palace as the emperor, and the ministers still put my mind first, and you will be affected everywhere." How can I sit on the dragon chair? ”

"Therefore, after the succession ceremony, I will leave the capital with your mother and travel around, and when I am tired and can't walk, I will go to Shudi. Live in our Shu Palace. ”

"Ah Luo, this palace, the rivers and mountains of Daqi, we will give them to you!"

Sheng Luo: "......"

Therefore, they are going to leave her behind, and the husband and wife will leave the capital and be free everywhere!

Sheng Luo was annoyed and aggrieved, and two words popped out with red eyes: "No!" ”

No, I won't let you go.
