Sheng Luo hadn't cried in many years.

When I was young, I would cry when I was angry with Sheng Ting, and I would cry when I was taught by my mother in public. But when she knew that her parents had strong expectations for her, and when she made up her mind to be the prince of Great Qi, she cleaned up all her weaknesses.

No matter how tired and hard she was, no matter what difficulties she encountered, she never cried.

Today, because of his father's words, he cried sadly and aggrievedly.

Sheng Hong was quite distressed when he saw his daughter crying, so he slowed down his voice and said comfortingly: "Ah Luo, I know you are reluctant to us." But I had already made a decision a long time ago. ”

"Don't be sad, you are our only daughter, and we have no reason not to cherish you. We're not trying to leave you behind. You have grown up, you have a husband and three children, you have a supportive courtier, you have ambitions and ambitions. ”

"In your world, we have long since taken a back seat."

"Your mother and I are no longer young. We want to get out of the palace and live a life entirely of our own, while we are strong. ”

"Ah Luo, I think you will be able to understand and support us."

Sheng Luo gradually stopped crying, and looked at Sheng Hong with red eyes: "You just want to leave the palace like this?" ”

Xie Mingxi's figure appeared at the door at some point, and a voice came: "Yes." ”

Sheng Luo turned around and looked at her mother: "Queen Mother!" ”

Xie Mingxi came slowly and looked at Sheng Luo steadily: "Ah Luo, I have never liked this palace. Back then, your father had no choice but to ascend the throne as emperor. He couldn't leave the country behind, but he never liked that dragon chair. ”

"He had a pact with me many years ago. When you grow up, I will pass the throne to you, and the two of us will leave the capital together. Travel all over the world, and finally go to our Shu Mansion to stay. We will not be by your side in the future, but we will still look at you from afar and care about you all the time. ”

"Ah Luo, your time has come."

……

An hour later, Sheng Luo returned to the East Palace with red and swollen eyes.

Lu Tianyou saw her crying like this, not to mention how distressed she was. Wringed a towel with warm water and wiped her tears. He asked softly, "What did the father and queen mother say?" ”

Sheng Luo replied sullenly: "I said a bunch of nice things, but I was just coaxing me." It's not to leave me alone, the two of them are free to leave Beijing. ”

Lu Tianyou was silent for a moment before he whispered: "Sister Aluo, my father and queen mother have been in the palace for twenty years, and I am tired of life in the palace, so I want to pass on the throne to you and leave the capital." ”

"You have me by your side, Brother Hua, Sister Liu, Brother Feng, and so many people who follow you who are loyal to you. Whether your father and queen mother stay or not will have no effect on you. You don't want them to go, because you can't bear them. I can understand that. If you insist on keeping them, it will be a bit selfish. ”

As soon as the word selfishness came into her ears, Sheng Luo's expression stiffened slightly, and she subconsciously refuted herself: "I want to do my filial piety as a woman......"

"What is filial piety?" Lu Tianyou asked softly: "Taking care of the wishes of your parents and fulfilling them to live the life they want is filial piety." ”

"Sister Aluo, you are their only daughter. The person they love most is you. They want to leave, they want to travel around while they are healthy, and they don't want to leave you alone. When you open your mouth to say this, how is it different from poking your parents' hearts? ”

"If you are truly concerned about them, then you will gladly respond to the matter of succession. When they depart, send them away with joy. ”

Sheng Luo: "......"

Sheng Luo was finally speechless, silent for a long time, and then said reluctantly: "What you said is reasonable." I just couldn't accept it for a while, and reacted a little more violently. I'm not going to stop them. ”

Lu Tianyou gently hugged Sheng Luo into his arms: "Sister Aluo, I will always be by your side." ”

Sheng Luo's heart was sour and gentle, and she hummed softly.

Parents will eventually grow old, and it is their husbands who will really stay with them day and night and accompany them all their lives.

This truth has long been clearly understood by the father and the queen mother. So, after she had a beloved husband and children, they gave birth to the heart of leaving.

……

Five days later, the Son of Heaven promulgated the decree of succession at the Great Imperial Conference.

The courtiers burst into tears and struggled to stay.

The Son of Heaven said softly: "I have been with you for 20 years, and you are reluctant to me, and I am reluctant to you." But everyone has to look forward, and life has to move forward. ”

"Since the beginning of the Great Qi Dynasty, there has been an imperial concubine. Also since the beginning of my life, in the lifetime of the heir is located in the prince. The transition of the throne was smooth, and the country and the society were inherited steadily. ”

"This is the last thing I have done for the Great Qi Court."

A sensational remark made the ministers full of tears.

The Son of Heaven suddenly wanted to pass on the throne to the crown princess, and even Sheng Luo himself didn't know about it, and Lu Chi, Chen Zhan, and Zhao Qi didn't know anything beforehand. After the initial shock, the same thought flashed through my mind.

For the sake of the throne and the imperial power above 10,000 people, it is not uncommon for husband and wife to turn against each other, father and son become enemies, and brothers kill each other.

The monarchy said that he would let it go, and he did not remember it. Throughout the ages, I'm afraid there is only Sheng Hong alone.

Among the ministers, they secretly rejoiced in their hearts, and they were afraid that only Xie Jun was the only one.

The son-in-law sits on the dragon chair, and his father-in-law lacks confidence. Soon changed his granddaughter to sit on the dragon chair, and his own granddaughter will be the empress's close confidant......

The blessings of the Xie family for decades are all in front of you!

In a weeping face, Xie Jun's expression on the top of his eyebrows was particularly eye-catching.

Sheng Hong didn't care about his father-in-law anymore, and opened his mouth to order: "Xie Shangshu, choose an auspicious day to hold a succession ceremony." ”

Xie Shangshu said loudly.

……

The Ministry of Rites chose a recent auspicious day and held a ceremony for the succession in early May.

More than 100 years after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the ceremony of the Son of Heaven in the prince is also the first time, and there is no front line to follow. Xie Jun led the Ministry of Rites to be busy for more than half a month, and the succession ceremony was solemn.

Sheng Luo, dressed in a dragon robe, received the imperial seal symbolizing imperial power from Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong said in a deep voice: "Sheng Luo, from today on, this is your country and your great Qi." I hope you love the people like a son and cherish the officials. For the government to be diligent, for the gentleman to be wise,"

Sheng Luo's eyes flashed with water, but her voice was extremely calm: "Yes, my daughter will always remember her father's words." ”

In the 20th year of Jianye, the legend of Emperor Jianye was located in the crown princess.

The era of Empress Jianzhao began.

Empress Jianzhao worked hard and was eloquent. During his reign of 20 years, the Great Qi Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous.

A few years later, Quanzhou and Fuzhou trained two brave sailors. These two sailors leveled the pirates in the sea. Under the will of Empress Jianzhao, Quanzhou sailors went to sea by boat to open up the territory of the sea and spread the prestige of Great Qi to distant overseas.

That's all for later.

After Emperor Jianye abdicated, he lived in the palace with Empress Xie for several months, saying goodbye to relatives and friends.

Gu Shanchang was getting old and could no longer afford to leave the palace, so he stayed in the palace and was supported by Sheng Luo for the rest of his life.

……

In the crisp autumn of September, Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi finally left Beijing.

Father-in-law Wei and Xiang Hui are both old men who have been serving for decades, and they want to go along. From Yu Fuyu and others, they all accompanied him. There are also 1,000 royal forest guards, accompanying the escort.

On the day of leaving Beijing, Sheng Luo and Lu Tianyou saw them off in person, as well as Sheng Fu and his wife, Xie Zijin and his wife, Chen Yin and his wife and other juniors. Lu Chilin, Weiwei and others of the same generation also came.

The king of Fenyang and the king of An also came.

Looking at the familiar faces, Sheng Hong's heart swelled with reluctance to part, but he said with a smile: "After Mingxi and I leave Beijing, we will walk around, and everywhere we go, we will write back to Beijing." At least two or three years will have to go before I go to Shudi. If you are worried about our husband and wife, you may wish to come to Shu to live for a while in the future. ”

Lu Chi, Chen Zhan, and Zhao Qi all smiled in unison: "We are all important ministers in the court, how can we have spare time to go to Shudi." ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

Seeing his father choked by everyone, Sheng Luo was amused, and the sourness and reluctance of parting dissipated slightly.

On this side, Xie Mingxi was also saying goodbye to his friends Lin Weiwei, Qin Sixing, Yan Zhenzhen and others.

Qin Siyun's words were gentle and earnest, and Yan Zhenzhen's words were lively and playful, diluting the sorrow and farewell.

Then, Lin Weiwei held Xie Mingxi's hand and said softly: "Sister Xie, from today onwards, you are finally far away from the palace, you can go anywhere you want and do what you want." The mountains and rivers are far away, I can't go along, and I regret it in my heart. I hope you have a smooth and safe journey. ”

Xie Mingxi's heart swelled with warmth, and his eyes swept over the faces of his friends one by one: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself." How precious you are! ”

In the end, Sheng Luo and Lu Tianyou walked in front of Xie Mingxi Sheng Hong.

What needs to be said, I've been saying it for months.

Sheng Luo looked at her parents who were in their prime, and thought to herself, Brother You was right. Taking care of the hearts of parents and letting them live the life they want is the real filial piety.

Rejoice in sending them on their journey!

"Father, mother," Sheng Luo calmed down, smiled and said, "Have a safe journey, take care." ”

Lu Tianyou also opened his mouth and said: "Please rest assured, father and queen mother, I will definitely take good care of Sister Aluo, you don't have to worry about her." ”

The mind of the daughter and son-in-law, can Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hongyan know?

The husband and wife smiled at each other, said cherished, said no more, and got into the carriage together.

The carriage slowly departed, drifting away.

Sheng Luo's eyes flashed with water.

The right hand was gently held by the person next to him.

Sheng Luo turned her head, and Lu Tianyou's gentle smile came into view: "Let's go back to the palace too!" ”

That's their home.

Sheng Luo snorted and returned to the palace hand in hand with Lu Tianyou. Everyone swallowed the emotion in their hearts and turned around with the new emperor and the emperor.

……

In the carriage, Xie Mingxi leaned his head on Sheng Hong's shoulder and was silent for a long time.

Sheng Hong's mood was agitated, and he was not in the mood to speak.

The husband and wife snuggled together silently.

After a long time, Sheng Hong noticed that his shoulders were a little wet. He tilted his head slightly, wiped the tears on Xie Mingxi's face, and teased by the way: "I thought you weren't sad at all." ”

From beginning to end, Xie Mingxi was calm and calm.

In fact, most of it is pretended.

Xie Mingxi didn't feel embarrassed: "If I were crying and crying, Ah Luo would have cried a long time ago, and everyone would have cried together." ”

That's just as well.

Sheng Hong carefully wiped away Xie Mingxi's tears, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I'm the only one who knows that you have cried, and there will be no second person who knows." Empress Xie's reputation for calm and self-control was not damaged in the slightest. ”

Playing poor again!

Xie Mingxi was amused, pursed his lips and laughed.

At this moment, the invisible shackles that had restrained her quietly dispersed.

"Sheng Hong, where are we going first?"

"Let's go to Quanzhou first, take a look at the harbor, take a sea boat, and maybe you can go to Xie Wuye's island to go around."

"It's okay, take a look at Sister Wei by the way. If the fifth sister-in-law is bored in Quanzhou, let her take Sister Wei to play with us for two years. ”

"That's a good idea. The fifth sister-in-law must be very happy. ”

"I'm afraid your fifth brother won't be happy."

"If he doesn't like it, he changes his name and follows us."

In the whisper, laughter gradually appeared.

The laughter was cheerful and unbridled.

The sky is high and the sea is wide, and the mountains and rivers are far away. So far, let us travel.
