248: Succession Ceremony
In the end, it was Xiao Zhiyun who dissuaded Long Jiu's idea of looking for a beating, so he also let the handsome man who was fishing and playing chess by the lotus pond escape.
During Long Jiu's video with Xiao Zhiyun, someone appeared next to him from time to time with documents, although Long Jiu couldn't see the people who came, but Long Jiu could find that these people were not the same.
Xiao Zhiyun signed the document, and at the same time, he could still laugh with her with a few hearts, even if Xiao Zhiyun coped with it easily, but Long Jiu still felt sorry for him in the end, usually if the two were separated, they would never break it if they didn't video for an hour or two, but now Long Jiu felt sorry for him, so she was ready to end the video for half an hour.
Xiao Zhiyun was a little surprised, and asked, "Is there anything else to do with the baby later?" β
Long Jiu shook his head and said distressedly: "It's my brother, you have too many things to do, you better take care of your own affairs, tomorrow is the succession ceremony, there must be a lot of things waiting for you to decide, I won't come to you tonight, you can rest well at night after you deal with things, and I will come to you after the succession ceremony is over." β
Xiao Zhiyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that my baby feels sorry for me." β
Long Jiu nodded: "I just feel sorry for you, so you are obedient, I will accompany you in the palace after the succession ceremony." β
Now that Xiao Zhiyun's succession ceremony is imminent, Nebula Academy also knows that as Xiao Zhiyun's fiancΓ©e, she must be attending, so she has already applied for an extension of the holiday or something, not to mention that Nebula Academy is now in the mid-term assessment period, even if she doesn't extend the vacation now, it's too late.
And because Long Jiu has extended his vacation, he can accompany Xiao Zhiyun more in the imperial capital.
Originally, Xiao Zhiyun wanted to say that he didn't have to worry about him being too busy, even tonight he could let Long Jiu go to the palace to find him, but before he could speak, there was a knock on the door of the study again, and someone came to him with documents.
Xiao Zhiyun glanced at the person at the door, pinched his eyebrows helplessly, first signaled the person at the door to wait first, and then sighed to Long Jiu: "Okay, then I will bear with it tonight, and when tomorrow's succession ceremony is over, the baby will remember to accompany me." β
After hearing this, Long Jiu nodded hurriedly, and obediently promised that he would definitely go to him tomorrow night.
The video connection was cut off by Long Jiu in Xiao Zhiyun's reluctant gaze, and the virtual screen disappeared.
Long Jiu lay down on the bed with a sigh, staring at the ceiling with a pair of big eyes open, and muttered to himself: "Why didn't Benjun find out that he was so clingy before?" I can't see you all night.,I'm probably going to lose sleep tonight.γ β
Long Jiu, who said worriedly that he would probably lose sleep, was slapped in the face at night.
As it turned out, not only did she not suffer from insomnia, but she also fell asleep early, and she slept until the next morning, without waking up once.
Early the next morning.
Long Jiu woke up and looked at the time, her expression was a little indescribable.
I probably didn't expect that I would not only be able to sleep, but also sleep so well.
Just when Long Jiu was still sitting on the bed with the quilt and couldn't say anything, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Long Jihuai's angry voice came in along with the knock on the door.
Long Jihuai: "Stinky girl, it's almost seven o'clock, don't sleep lazy, get up and wash up, the chemist is here." β
This time, the succession ceremony of the new emperor is a live broadcast of the whole empire, and the Long family is in the front row when watching the ceremony on the viewing platform because of its status, in order not to be rude, the Long family has already booked the best makeup team in the imperial city, and is in place to serve the only eldest lady of the Long family.
Long Jiu rolled over and jumped out of bed, and went to open the door of the room without putting on his slippers.
Long Jihuai stood at the door, looking at the little dinosaur pajamas that Long Jiu was wearing, especially after seeing that there was a green tail behind her buttocks, the corners of Da Shuai's mouth twitched suspiciously. What style of pajamas will other people's eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls wear, Da Shuai doesn't know, but the pajamas worn by his own girl simply make Da Shuai look at it.
Nineteen-year-old girl, do you still think you're a nine-year-old girl?
Long Jiu didn't notice the disgust in Da Shuai's eyes, she opened the door of the room and turned around to look for slippers by the bed, and her slippers were still matched with her pajamas, the same style of little green dinosaur, after putting on the little dinosaur slippers, Long Jiu went directly to the bathroom.
Long Jihuai watched her roll away the green back of the bathroom like a gust of wind, pressed her cheerful eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Do you want the makeup artists to come in, or let them wait in the cloakroom next door?" β
Dragon Wine has a specially set aside 300-square-meter cloakroom, which is full of private custom-made dresses of the season, and there is a huge dressing table by the floor-to-ceiling window, which is also full of all kinds of cosmetics.
But since she changed to Long Jiu, she has only been to see it once and has never entered that room again, let alone used the contents of it, not only because of respect for Dragon Wine, but also because Long Jiu and Dragon Wine have different aesthetics.
Long Jiujiu prefers the clothes of the little pink princess, but Long Jiu doesn't like the sweet ones.
This time Long Jihuai suddenly mentioned it, and Long Jiu, who was washing his face in the bathroom, paused for a moment, and then said, "Go and wait next door, I'll go over immediately." β
Long Jihuai nodded, and then asked Uncle Chen to bring the people from the makeup team up.
After Long Jiu finished washing, she went to the next door in her little dinosaur pajamas, but this time she was stunned as soon as she entered.
Because all the sweet dresses that originally belonged to Long Jiujiu in this room have been replaced, and the clothes, shoes, and accessories in the entire cloakroom are all brand new, and they are all in line with Long Jiu's preferences.
Long Jiu looked at the brand-new cloakroom in a daze, not noticing Long Jihuai approaching behind him, until Long Jihuai sighed softly, Long Jiu came back to look at him behind him.
Long Jihuai said in a low voice: "This is Lao Chen's replacement after Long Yinxing came back after the New Year, they are all selected according to your preferences, although you have never come back, but Lao Chen's new style every quarter will be sent to you to prepare." β
Long Jiu was dumbfounded for a moment, and finally said softly, "What about the ones from before?" β
Long Jihuai seemed to smile and said, "It was put away by Lao Chen in a box and placed in the collection room." β
"When did he find out?" Long Jiu asked hesitantly.
Long Jihuai lowered his eyes and looked at her, his eyebrows raised slightly, and said, "I guessed it when I accompanied you to the Nebula Academy to enroll, he took the child with one hand, can he not detect it if he is replaced or not?" Besides, you didn't hide it at all. β
Long Jiu was silent.
Long Jihuai looked at the makeup artists in the room and saw them, he patted Long Jiu's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't think too much, go clean up, it's not too early." β
Long Jiu didn't speak, just nodded and walked inside.
Long Jihuai stood by the door and looked at Long Jiu, who was surrounded by the service masters, and after looking at it for a while, he turned around and left.
An hour later, the well-dressed Long Jiu went downstairs.
In the living room, Long Jihuai, Duan Lishu, and Lin Yunzhou had been waiting for a long time, and after seeing her come down, Long Jihuai raised his hand to look at the time, and then slowly got up and said, "Let's go." β
Duan Lishu smiled and stretched out his arm towards Long Jiu, motioning for Long Jiu to hold him, and after Long Jiu hesitated for a moment, he smiled and said, "The little girl has really grown up, and she is really beautiful after dressing up like this." β
Lin Yunzhou, who was following behind Long Jihuai, also turned his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's beautiful, waiting for the live broadcast to be seen by the whole empire, I'm afraid that I will have to gain a lot of admirers." β
"It's a pity that it's a famous flower." Duan Lishu quipped: "No matter how many admirers there are, they can only just watch." β
Long Jihuai, who was walking in the front, turned around angrily after hearing this, and said to the two: "It's just a bastard girl, how can it be as exaggerated as you say." β
Duan Lishu smiled exaggeratedly: "Dashuai, are your eyes confused by something?" Our wine is so beautiful, you can find a few girls who can compare to our wine in the imperial city. β
Long Jihuai sneered, glanced at Long Jiu, and then snorted and turned his head.
When the group walked outside, Uncle Chen was also there, Uncle Chen looked at the well-dressed Long Jiu with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a slit, "The little lady is really handsome in this body." As he spoke, he asked, "Do you have sunscreen spray in your bag?" There's nothing to cover the viewing platform, and when the sun gets bigger, don't get sunburned. β
Not to mention, the small handbag in Long Jiu's hand was really stuffed with a small sunscreen spray by the makeup artist for backup.
Long Jiu looked at Uncle Chen's face full of smiles, let go of Duan Lishu and turned to hold Uncle Chen, and asked with a sweet smile, "Won't Uncle Chen go with you?" β
Uncle Chen was a little surprised to be so close to her, but he still shook his head and said, "I won't."
"Let's go." Long Jihuai opened his mouth at this time and interrupted Uncle Chen's words, "With such a grand event, I don't know if I can see the next time in this life, so we all go together, and I can't miss anything." β
The next succession ceremony.
Everyone present thought of Xindi, who is now only in his twenties.
Not to mention anything else, if the new emperor has been in power for too long, Long Jihuai and Chen Bo, who are already more than 100 years old, may not be able to see it.
The new emperor can succeed to the throne next time.
Duan Lishu sneered and said happily: "I should be able to see it, but the person who will hold the succession ceremony next time, isn't it Xiaojiujiu's son?" β
As soon as Duan Lishu's words fell, the other people all looked at Long Jiu with strange and subtle eyes.
With the relationship between Long Jiu and Xiao Zhiyun that can't wait to stick together all the time, the next successor is definitely their own son.
Long Jiu: "."
What nonsense!?
Her son?
Hehe!
Maybe you're all in the ground, and you don't necessarily have it, do you really think that the cubs of the dragon clan are so easy to bring? If the dragon clan had strong heirs, the Great Wilderness would have been their dragon clan back then.
Long Jiu was a little annoyed and angry by a few people, and said angrily: "The new emperor of this term has not succeeded to the throne yet, you are thinking about the next one, is it a bit rebellious?" β
Duan Lishu laughed and said, "Ouch, are we angry when we drink wine?" After finishing speaking, he received a glaring from Long Jiu, and Duan Lishu immediately said: "Okay, it's my uncle's fault, my uncle shouldn't make fun of our little wine." β
Seeing that Duan Lishu was so able to bend and stretch for mercy, Lin Yunzhou and Long Jihuai shook their heads and laughed.
But in the end, because the big man spoke, Chen Bo also followed them to the viewing platform.
But in the middle of the way, Da Shuai and Duan Lishu did not go to the viewing platform together because they were in official positions, but entered the palace to prepare to go over with the hundred officials, but Chen Bo finally accompanied Long Jiu to the viewing platform to wait first.
The Long family has a pivotal position in the empire, even Xiao Junchen didn't dare to snub the Long family when he was in power, not to mention that now the new emperor who is about to succeed to the throne relies on the Long family, and even the future grandson-in-law of the Long family, so among the powerful families of the entire empire, the Long family is the leader, even the Lu family of the Sirius Star is a few points lower than the Long family.
Therefore, the position of the Long family in the viewing platform was deliberately arranged in the front and middle, which was the closest position to the coronation of the new emperor.
Long Jiu sat on the viewing seat, looking around with a face silently, although there was nothing to cover here, but there was a railing between the seats.
While Long Jiu was looking around quietly, many people in the nearby viewing seats were also looking at her.
The people who can sit in the nearby viewing area are all family members of officials in high-ranking positions in the palace, and these people have long heard that the eldest lady of the Long family has been living in the prince's mansion since before the palace change, and even many people know about her going to the palace with His Royal Highness the prince on the day of the palace change.
Therefore, after all kinds of rumors, these people naturally became curious about the eldest lady of the Long family.
I used to know that this eldest lady of the Long family was the future crown princess, and Emperor Zhaoxu had ordered it for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since she was a child, but at that time, Xiao Junchen was the emperor, so many noble ladies were not very optimistic about this pair in their hearts.
As a result, who would have thought that the crown prince got rid of the emperor in one fell swoop, and the future princess of the Long family directly skipped the crown princess and became the future queen in one fell swoop.
Do you want to say that the hearts of these noble ladies are sour? It must be sour, who of them doesn't have a girl? Who doesn't want their girl to be able to fly on the branches? Today's new emperor is not the original prince, don't look at the current new emperor is in power, and the original prince said that the situation is embarrassing and precarious, although he knew that the prince had a fiancΓ©e early on, and he was the only heir of the Long family, but these ladies were envious at all, after all, no one knew whether the original prince could succeed to the throne smoothly.
However, now it is different, the original crown prince not only got rid of the previous emperor, but now he will immediately succeed to the throne and hold power, and the hearts of these noble ladies are beginning to sour.
What a good golden beetle son-in-law, and this is not a golden beetle son-in-law, it really has to be a golden dragon son-in-law.
But although these ladies are sour in their hearts, no one dares to be a demon moth, one is that the new emperor is not a master to be manipulated, the second is not a decoration, and the third is also the most important, now in the powerful family in the imperial city, who doesn't know that the new emperor hurt this fiancΓ©e on the top of his heart, these two people don't let people get involved, even if it is difficult to insert a needle.
Just when the eyes of the people in the viewing seats were flying, the seat next to Long Jiu came, and he was an acquaintance.
Mrs. Lu came with the old housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, and she walked all the way, and the ladies in the other seats all got up and smiled and said hello.
Which of the powerful ladies present is not a human spirit? Who doesn't know that this Mrs. Lu is the uncle of the new emperor, and she is also the uncle whom the new emperor respects very much, just looking at the fact that Mrs. Lu and her husband and wife just came to the imperial capital star, they were greeted by the new emperor in person, and they have been living in the prince's mansion since they took it, and it can be seen that the relationship is close.
And the old housekeeper brought by Mrs. Lu, who didn't know that it was the housekeeper in the prince's mansion.
Mrs. Lu smiled all the way and greeted the ladies, after seeing Long Jiu, the smile on Mrs. Lu's face became bright, under the attention of the ladies, I saw Mrs. Lu directly cross the seat of the Lu family and sit beside Long Jiu, holding Long Jiu's hand with a happy and cordial face.
Mrs. Lu's attitude also represents the attitude of the Lu family, and the eyes of the powerful ladies who saw this scene flashed.
However, Mrs. Lu, who had been dignified and decent all the way before, leaned into Long Jiu's ear and whispered like a child: "I came all the way just now, and my face was almost stiff with laughter. β
Long Jiu looked at her with a smile, and also whispered: "I don't like to greet people politely, but fortunately, no one came to greet me, Aunt Lin, you should learn from me, no one will dare to talk to you if you come in with a straight face." β
Mrs. Lu was amused by her words, and said happily: "I'll learn from you next time." After the music, he stretched his face again, looked at Long Jiu with dissatisfaction and complained: "Little girl, last time I called my aunt with Xue Yun, but I haven't seen you for a day, and my aunt doesn't call anymore." β
Long Jiu smiled embarrassedly and explained, "Isn't this outside, and my brother and I are not married yet."
"If you're not married, you can't call your aunt?" Mrs. Lu retorted: "Besides, you two will get married sooner or later, so you should get used to it early." β
Long Jiu wanted to say something, but was resolutely interrupted by Mrs. Lu, "Just call Auntie, I like to hear you call me that, listen to me, who dares to say anything, you tell Aunt, Aunt will go to them in person and talk to them." β
Seeing Mrs. Lu looking at her with a tiger face, Long Jiu smiled and shouted obediently: "Okay, listen to my aunt." β
This aunt shouted that Mrs. Lu's heart was overjoyed, she gently pinched Long Jiu's face, and said happily; "Eh, that's right."
The two of them talked affectionately, just like a pair of mother and daughter, and Uncle Chen and the old housekeeper Qian Bo on the side also looked at each other with a smile, and the atmosphere on their side seemed to be quite harmonious.
It wasn't until nine o'clock that a bell rang slowly.
I saw that under the viewing platform, hundreds of officials slowly entered the venue, and after the hundred officials were in place, Xiao Zhiyun, who was wearing an imperial uniform, stepped on the red carpet and walked in.
Xiao Zhiyun's imperial uniform was newly designed, a black uniform with a golden ribbon on his body, and at Xiao Zhiyun's waist, there was also a shining sword.
At this time, everyone in the audience stood up solemnly, and the audience was silent.
Everyone looked at the young new emperor who came from a distance, watched him step by step onto the viewing platform, and then Long Jihuai, who was dressed in military uniform, held out the imperial crown.
The royal family has long since had no other princes and clans, so the person who crowned the new emperor was handed over by Xiao Zhiyun to the handsome Long Jihuai, not only because Long Jihuai's invincible exploits are the backbone of the Xingluo Empire, but also because Long Jihuai is still the grandfather of his fiancΓ©e, so he crowned the new emperor, and the civil and military officials have no objection.
Everyone quietly watched as the new emperor bowed his head and was crowned, and then quietly watched him turn to face the viewing seat, and then in silence and solemnity, he slowly drew the sword at his waist and pointed it at the sky.
The ceremonial flowers bloomed at this moment, and everyone at the viewing table, as well as the hundred officials under the viewing platform, bowed their heads one after another, gently placed their hearts with their right hand into a fist, and said neatly and loudly: "I have seen His Majesty the Emperor." β
At this moment, everyone was saluting the new emperor, but Long Jiu, who quietly looked at Xiao Zhiyun, who had officially become the emperor, with a bright smile on her face.
The new emperor, who was saluted by everyone, held the sword pointing at the sky in his hand, but his eyes quietly looked at Long Jiu who was watching the ceremony, and then slowly showed a light smile to Long Jiu.
ββ
From now on, I offer the whole empire to you!
