It snowed heavily for several days and stopped on Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony on the first day, Qionghua Fangji, the clear sky is blue, and the glazed tiles of Yongnian Palace are shining golden on the first day of Lang Lang, which is a good sign of the renewal of the yuan and the renewal of Vientiane.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites sent the dress to the Jiqing Palace where Ling Li stayed overnight early in the morning.

Ling Li asked the ceremonial officer to guide him, and Shu Mei personally dressed him for him. After the complicated clothes and crowns, he looked cold and stern, and he looked even more majestic and awe-inspiring.

"How does it look?" Ling Li stretched out his hand and asked.

"Your Majesty is majestic, and the concubines just want to kneel down and salute when they see it." Shu Mei looked up and down, back and forth, and replied seriously.

Ling Li shook her hand and said helplessly: "My biggest regret is that you can't walk side by side with me in Queen Zhai's clothes." ”

"The number of ceremonies for the enthronement ceremony is too complicated, it's hard to remember, it's best for the concubines to follow behind Your Majesty, don't worry about making mistakes." Shu Mei smiled.

At about the hour, Ling Li, who was dressed in a crown robe, took the concubines, princesses and relatives of the Ling clan to the Zanglong Temple to worship the ancestors, and announced the edict to posthumously crown Emperor Chengde as Emperor Chengzong Wen of Nanyue, and posthumously crown the loyal and obedient concubines as the Empress Dowager Duan Jingyide.

After returning from the Hidden Dragon Temple, Ling Li changed his ceremonial dress and was sent to the square in front of the Vertical Arch Hall by six pure-blooded BMW horses.

"The auspicious time has come, please ——! new emperor ascend to the throne"

After the praise official shouted, Ling Li, who was wearing a cirrus crown and a silk robe, stepped up to the nine-story platform in front of the vertical arch hall and sat on the brand-new dragon chair, officially announcing his accession to the throne and inheriting the Nanyue Sheji.

In the Yongnian Palace, the ceremonial music bell rang in unison, and Huanghuang played the great music of Dan Majesty. Subsequently, under the order of the Majesty Guard, the guard of honor sounded three whips, and under the command of the praise officer, the civil and military officials knelt three times and bowed nine times in unison.

Subsequently, Lichen slowly lifted out the bronze tripod that symbolized the enthronement, and inscribed the record of Ling Li's accession to the throne on the tripod.

After the ceremony, the neighboring and friendly countries who watched the ceremony presented and read out the congratulatory messages in turn.

After the enthronement ceremony in front of the vertical arch hall, the ceremonial official put the imperial enthronement edict into the gilded dragon pavilion, and carried it to the main gate of the Yongnian Palace by sixteen Luan honor guards. After the guard of honor, the civil and military officials came to the Houde Imperial Road outside the main gate of the Yongnian Palace, and respectfully bowed to the ground to listen to the announcement.

The enthronement edict began here and was sent to the entire territory of South Vietnam, announcing to the world: the new emperor Ling Li inherited the unification of South Vietnam and changed the name of the year to Yongjing.

This day is the first day of the first year of Yongjing.

*********

Since Shu Mei made a pony out of bamboo bones for Ling Juan, Ling Juan pestered her all day long, and asked her to make some bamboo cattle and bamboo sheep, so that the auspicious omen would have companions. Shu Mei thought about it, it would be better to put together a set of zodiac signs. So, for a long time, she collected all kinds of feathers, felt, and velvet with Ling Juan during the day, and was very busy making the zodiac signs.

On this day, she took Ling Juan to the Inner Government Bureau to find sable skin, which was ready to be used to make bamboo rats. When he returned to the palace, he met Wei Shen, who was doing a handyman in the outer courtyard of Jiqing Palace. As soon as Wei Shen saw her, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to say goodbye.

Since Shu Mei entered the palace, he has not been accustomed to the rule that palace maids and eunuchs kneel when they see their masters. I feel that in this winter, I kneel down at every turn, the ground is cold, and my arms and legs are tired. She told the palace maids and eunuchs of Jiqing Palace that they would not kneel without outsiders.

So seeing Wei Shen so solemn, she was a little displeased, "You get up." I said you don't need to kneel, didn't Huo Diantou tell you? ”

"Back to Niangniang, Huo Diantou told the minion. The slave has something to report to the mother, and begs the mother to take a step to speak. ”

remembered that the last time he was so mysteriously reminded her to be careful of the people in Yanqing Palace, and later Dong Yuejiao sent Nansha ginseng to answer her for a long time. Shu Mei said to Mama Zhou beside her: "Mama, it's cold outside, you can take the princess back to the palace first." ”

Mama Zhou nodded in response, took Juanjuan's hand and took her away.

"What's the matter with you?" Shu Mei led Wei Shen into the corridor next to him, avoiding the wind.

"The official of Dali Temple who handled the case asked the slave to deliver a message to the mother." Wei Shen moved closer and whispered.

"Dali Temple?" Shu Mei looked puzzled. Since she was named Concubine Mu, people have constantly begged her to say good things in front of Ling Li's brother, as long as she does not involve the state affairs of foreign dynasties, she always can't bear to refuse. Why did even the people from Dali Temple pass the words into this deep palace this time?

"The people from Dali Temple said that during the interrogation, they found out that they had murdered the Shu County family in Anyuan, and they wanted to meet their mother."

"The person who hurt my father?" Shu Mei's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "How did they find out?" ”

"It is said that I learned about it by accident during the trial of other cases."

Shu Mei was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why didn't they tell me Grandpa?" ”

"Now Niangniang is the celebrity around the emperor, and the people of Dali Temple naturally want to ask for merit and reward in front of Niangniang." Wei Shen said with a smile.

"How did they get in touch with you?" Shu Mei was puzzled: Wei Shen was just a harem eunuch, how could he collude with the officials of the previous dynasty?

"A few days ago, Huo Diantou arranged for the slave to go to the market to buy Cizhu for the mother, and the slave met the people of Dali Temple as soon as he left the palace. They bribed the slave with a golden bun and asked the slave to deliver the message to the mother. As he spoke, Wei Shen took out a yellow golden bun from his arms and handed it to Shu Mei, "The slave doesn't dare to take it privately." Thinking that if the mother wants to have clean ears, this golden bun is the best evidence, so she brought it into the palace. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Niangniang is now the most favored, and there are more and more people who want to curry favor with Niangniang. Niangniang is the most soft-hearted, these things have been promised a lot, and it is not good for Niangniang. The slave thought that if he could kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys and punish a few people, the mother's ears would be much cleaner. ”

Seeing Shu Mei staring at Jin Fuzi and pursing his lips silently, Wei Shen said again: "Niangniang is the savior of the slave, although the slave has no chance to serve Niangniang closely, but the slave is thinking of Niangniang in his heart, and I hope that Niangniang and the emperor will have a deep love and be concentric for a hundred years." ”

"The people of Dali Temple said that they want to face? I am in this deep palace, how will they be? "Shu Mei just wants to see them right away and ask who the real culprit of the revenge of the Sect is who is?!

"Naturally, they can't enter this deep palace, but Niangniang can go out."

Wei Shen woke up the dreamer with a word. Shu Mei reacted, after she entered the palace, she had not returned home to save her relatives.

That night, Shu Mei and Ling Li proposed that they wanted to go back to Persimmon Lane to visit Grandpa and Grandma.

Ling Li hugged her and said with a smile: "Yuan Zheng has taken a vacation, your grandfather has to enter the palace every day, and I will arrange for you to meet tomorrow." Your grandma is a first-class lady, and she can come to the palace to accompany you at any time. ”

"My grandmother is old, her body is not good, and the winter weather is the most difficult. I had to go home and check on her daily medication and diet to be reassured. ”

"Then wait for the Yuan Festival to rest on the morning day, and I'll go back with you to see the second elder."

With him by his side, where would the people of Dali Temple dare to come to see her? Shu Mei frowned and said, "The last time I stayed in the Funing Hall overnight, the officials talked about it for a long time. If Brother Ling Li oversteps the rules on the Shangyuan Festival to accompany me home to save my relatives, I am afraid that they will discuss it again, and I don't want to be a demon concubine who will bring disaster to the country and the people. ”

"Demon Princess?" Ling Li couldn't help but laugh and scratched her jade-like nose with his hand, "Isn't it?" After you entered the palace, I felt that the early dynasty system set by Taizu was really annoying. I was late, and the officials were unforgiving, and they reminded me to take care of the dragon's body......"

"Funing Hall is the closest to the Vertical Arch Palace, Brother Ling Li lives in Funing Palace, so he can get up later in the morning." Shu Mei said seriously.

Ling Li nodded, "So I still have to find a way to let you move into the Ciyuan Palace, so that I can sleep for half an hour more every day......"

Ciyuan Hall is the closest palace to Funing Palace, but it is the queen's bedroom. Shu Mei wanted to let Ling Li go back to Funing Hall to live, but Ling Li still thought about the matter of the future.
