Chapter 4: Enthronement Ceremony
"Why is Your Majesty here?"
Lu Cichuan, who had finished taking care of the affairs of the court, returned to the mansion after the sun was setting in the west, but he saw that Dongfang Han did not know when he would visit the palace and was waiting for him to come back in the study.
He sneered: "The affairs of the court are all taken care of by this king, and your majesty the emperor is idle." Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, Your Majesty did not prepare for relevant matters, but came to my house, what is the matter? β
Dongfang Han smiled gently: "I haven't read any books since I was a child, and I haven't practiced calligraphy, I'm afraid that the crooked words will make fun of the courtiers in the future. β
Lu Cichuan looked at the girl in front of him, the palace will be raised for a few days, and she has lost her original sick appearance, and even her voice and tone of voice are more energetic than a few days ago.
Empress Dongfang Qin is a well-known talented woman in the Great Jin Dynasty, and after sitting on the throne of God, she showed that she was proficient in Wen Taowu and Wu, why would she pass the emperor's position to a straw bag that couldn't even write a word?
Dongfang Han grabbed Lu Cichuan's cuffs, and said earnestly: "Lord Wang, please teach me to write." β
The sight happened to collide with it, and Lu Cichuan felt a strange feeling of crispness and numbness in his heart for some reason, and this feeling appeared for the first time in his twenty-five-year-old life.
He didn't want to say yes, but somehow, the image of this woman kneeling on the ground that day begged him for shelter like a wounded kitten.
When the words came to his lips, he took them back, walked to the table, and spread out the paper.
"Come here, write a few words for this king to see."
Seeing that he agreed, Dongfang Han breathed a sigh of relief, walked to his side happily, and wrote a few big characters on the paper.
Looking at her ugly words, Lu Cichuan frowned slightly at first, and then was amused, and the corners of his mouth outlined a smile: "This word...... It's ugly! β
Dongfang Han stared at him, "This is the first time I've seen the prince smile." β
Lu Cichuan was stunned, immediately smiled, and put on that cold appearance again.
Seeing that she continued to write, he directly stretched out his hand to wrap her cold and white right hand: "You have to move the pen like this." β
When the palms touched, the two of them were stunned, warm and cold, and collided like ice and fire.
Dongfang Han subconsciously wanted to break free from the warm palm that was slightly callooned, but he was firmly bound by the palm and couldn't move.
Lu Cichuan thought of men and women at this time, but he still pretended not to care, and secretly said in his heart-
As long as this king is not embarrassed, it is you, the little emperor, who is embarrassed!
β¦β¦
The lights in the study of the Chu Wangfu have been turned on, but no one has come out of the house.
The guards Yun Feng and Jing Hong sat on the eaves not far away, looking at the figures under the two lamps that did not overlap in the front and back of the study.
"What's going on now? The master was unusual for this new empress. Jing Hong asked.
Yun Feng nodded, and said self-affirmatively, "The current situation is that the little white rabbit broke into the wolf's den, and the little chicken strayed into the eagle's den." β
β¦β¦
After Dongfang Han left, Lu Cichuan came to the backyard, stood in the deep pit that Yunfeng ordered to dig a few days ago, and quietly looked at the "scenery" in the pit.
In the deep pit, there is a python as thick as a man's arm, and at the same time, in the corner, there is a rabbit as white as snow.
"Heh, it's been so many days, and I haven't eaten the rabbit yet...... Useless stuff. β
He seemed to be speaking to a python, a playful smile on his lips, and his eyes were dark and indistinct, as chilling as a demon.
Yun Feng and Jing Hong, who were standing behind their masters, only felt a chill crawling on their backs.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a well-known "pervert" in the entire Great Jin Dynasty, who can single-handedly break into the enemy camp, cut off more than 50 enemy heads in one night, and hang them on the city wall...... They can also use all means to torture prisoners, so that they cannot survive but die......
Now he is so "perverted" that he puts the snake rabbit in one place, just to see when the snake swallows the rabbit whole......
That's it, the master's mind is always something they can't guess.
β¦β¦
The next day, the succession ceremony of the new emperor was held.
Dongfang Han wore a dragon robe and ascended to the throne of God for the first time.
She stood up, overlooking the courtiers, and her heart began to beat wildly, not nervous, but excited and expectant.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long liveβ"
The ministers worshipped and chanted.
Unexpectedly, this time the regent Lu Cichuan also bowed to the lady emperor on the throne.
"Zhongqing's bodyβ"
Dongfang Han pretended to be timid and said softly.
She has always been like this all these years, because she committed the crime of trespassing, she was not loved by her mother, and she was sent to the palace at the age of three.
"Oh, the dragon robe on the Holy One is actually embroidered with a three-clawed dragon!"
The Ministry of Rites exclaimed.
Everyone's eyes looked at itβ
Indeed, the dragon robe was embroidered with a three-clawed dragon, not the five-clawed golden dragon that the emperor's dragon robe should embroider.
"What about the people in the Shangfu Bureau!"
"Your Majesty ascended the throne and wore a three-clawed dragon suit, which is not in line with etiquette, and it seems that today's enthronement ceremony will be postponed."
"The country cannot be without a monarch together, and if the enthronement ceremony is not held, Your Majesty will not be able to govern in person, which is not conducive to the society of the country."
"Since the funeral of Her Majesty the Empress, government affairs have been cut by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and there is no mistake."
β¦β¦
The ministers argued one after another, completely forgetting Dongfang Han on the throne.
Her existence is very easy to ignore.
Dongfang Han measured Lu Cichuan, who was at the head of the ministers.
Dressed in a purple court robe, holding a jade wat board in his hand, he straightened up and looked calm.
Dongfang Han found that he never participated in the discussions of the ministers, but watched everyone's every move as an observer.
The mind is like a huge abyss, unfathomable.
"What does the prince think about this?" The courtiers looked at Lu Cichuan one after another.
Lu Cichuan said leisurely: "Since the dragon robe is not in line with the etiquette system, then we will choose a good time to hold the enthronement ceremony." Anyway, it's not been a day or two since this king acted as the ruler of the court, and he doesn't mind working hard for a little longer. β
Dongfang Han secretly said in his heart: If you want this throne, just say it, why bend around and put on a last resort!
Just when the courtiers were at a stalemate, a woman dressed in the palace maid's costume broke into the court in a panic, she raised a new bright yellow dragon robe above her head, knelt heavily on the ground, and her voice trembled slightly - "Please forgive your majesty!" β
"The little girl is the palace maid of the Si Yi Division, and yesterday she accidentally bumped into the dragon robe used in the enthronement ceremony by Guo Shangfu. This morning, the original dragon robe was found and presented in Guo Shangfu's dormitory, in order to carry out the ceremony smoothly. β
The Ministry of Rites Shang Shu approached and confirmed the style of the dragon robe and the golden dragon embroidered on it: "This one is right." β
Lu Cichuan said: "Since the correct uniform system has been sent, then please ask Your Majesty to change the dragon robe in the apse and continue the enthronement ceremony." β
