Xu Dong was not only moved by Lu Xu'er's words, but also moved by the ambiguous aura emanating from her, he subconsciously hugged Lu Xu'er's body and stroked her trembling shoulders with his hand.

"Alright. He said to Lu Xu'er, "If I decide to choose a concubine after I ascend the throne, I won't choose anyone, just you." ”

"Really. Even in the dark rockery, Xu Dong could see that Lu Xu'er's eyes were wide open.

"Really, I'm not going to lie to you. Xu Dong said seriously.

He didn't want to possess her casually, and felt that he should choose a solemn day, so he gently pushed her away, "Let's disperse first, and we'll talk about it when things are a little clear." ”

Lu Xu'er's voice was a little hoarse, "As long as the emperor takes me to heart." ”

............

At three o'clock on this day, the Chunyang Palace began to suddenly impose martial law, except for the Zhao royal family, the ministers of civil and military affairs and the eunuchs and maids who lived in the palace, other idle people were not allowed to enter and leave the Chunyang Palace.

The enthronement ceremony was held in the temple of the god of transformation, and hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the hall, and the old man in black presided over the ceremony, first sacrificing to the sky, the earth, and the gods, and then announcing Xu Dong as the new generation of monarchs of the Ratuo Kingdom.

When the ceremony was completed, a colorful auspicious cloud shrouded the golden roof of the Transformation Temple, and then more purple qi floated from the eastern sky like a cloud, and the entire Pure Yang Palace was shrouded in purple clouds.

The purple clouds surrounded the colorful auspicious clouds, forming a magnificent scene, this kind of cloud energy hovered over the Pure Yang Palace for a long time, and then rose towards the sky like a mushroom cloud.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live. ”

The civil and military officials knelt down to the ground together, wishing the new monarch of Ratuo to inherit the fortune of heaven and earth, good luck for a long time, peace for the country and the people, stability of the four seas, and peace in singing and dancing.

............

Xu Dong decided not to move out of the Seventeen Horse Mansion for the time being, but only to meet with the ministers or hundreds of officials in the palace to choose to be in the palace of "Transformation 'Essence' Palace", "Transformation of Qi Palace", "Transformation God Palace", "Returning the Void Palace" and so on.

Early in the morning of the second day of ascending the throne, the beauties of the harem took the palace maids of the palace and moved the lotus step towards the Seventeen Horse Mansion, which was the first time they met the new queen Zhao Ke.

The first to enter the house was Zhou Nan from the "Ice Wheel Palace", she greeted Queen Zhao Ke very respectfully, and then chatted with Zhao Ke generously.

"Oops. She pretended to be surprised and said, "You see that Niangniang looks like a fairy, and the slave and maid immediately look rough when compared with Niangniang, and the appearance of the slave and maid cannot be compared with Niangniang, but I beg Niangniang to teach the slave and maid some knowledge of dressing." ”

Zhou Nan's words coaxed Zhao Ke so happy, she only glanced at Zhou Nan, and knew that this 'girl' was not below her, which showed that this 'girl' was welcoming her.

Originally, she couldn't tolerate other 'women' sharing Xu Dong with her, but at this moment, seeing Zhou Nan greet her with his intentions, it actually gave her a sense of superiority over the crested, and she enjoyed the compliments of other 'women' very much.

"If my sister wants to learn some manners and dresses from me, she can stay with me for two or three hours a day, and I will teach her something she knows. ”

Xu Dong, who was listening on the side, said secretly in his heart, Zhao Ke, Zhao Ke, others have been in the palace for three years, you are a lady who has just turned from a princess to a regular mother, what do you have to be learned from you, what do other people treat you as what you have become.

"Okay, okay, the slave maid has come to study with my sister every day since Ming'er, and I hope that my sister will teach me without leaving a hand, and the slave maid should be an apprentice for my sister for life. ”

Zhou Nan chatted with Zhao Ke, knowing that the other concubines would also come to greet the queen soon, and it would not take up too much of Zhao Ke's time, so he reluctantly took the two palace maids out.

As soon as she retreated and was about to leave the house, Concubine Dong, who lived in the "Cold Cicada Palace", happened to step on the stage, and the two glanced at each other with resentment as they passed by.

Concubine Dong's eyes lit up when she entered the 'door', of course, it was not because her beauty and temperament attracted attention, but because of her wildness a few days ago, which left a deep impression on Xu Dong.

Xu Dong inspected many concubines and nobles in the harem, and only this 'woman' with the atmosphere of the countryside was fortunate by him before he ascended the throne, and her wild and uneducated left a mark in Xu Dong's heart: the 'flower' of the village is more fragrant and 'beautiful' than the noble peony.

He forgot to ask her name that day, he was the only concubine he didn't know her name, and now he saw her pretending to be weak and walked in, knowing that she was pretending to be stupid in front of Zhao Ke.

"The queen is auspicious. She pretended not to see Xu Dong, and lowered her eyebrows to greet Zhao Ke, "Queen Mother, the slave is Dong Yan of the 'Cold Cicada Palace', and I have come to the Queen Mother." ”

Zhao Ke said, "Be bold, didn't you see that the emperor was also there, where did your eyes go." ”

Dong Yancai raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Dong in fear, and said stupidly, "This is the emperor, the emperor is auspicious, and the slave maid has asked the emperor to say goodbye." ”

Zhao suspiciously 'confused' authentic, "Didn't the emperor inspect your palace, why can't you even recognize the emperor." ”

Dong Yan said, "The emperor has been to the palace of the slave and maid, but because the slave and maid look vulgar, the emperor disdains to look at me more...... Not opposite the emperor. ”

Her trick is also wonderful, so that Zhao Ke has no wariness of her, and the emperor refuses to take a look at the rough 'woman' person, for other 'woman' people, it is the most secure, and it is not worth 'spending' to guard against her.

Zhao Ke turned to Xu Dong, "Xianggong, is this the case, are you judging people by their appearance like this?" ”

Xu Dong just wanted to argue, but when he saw a glimmer of light in Dong Yan's eyes, he knew that she was going to hint at him, so he changed his mind, nodded and said, "I really didn't look at her more." ”

Zhao Ke believed, "Your Majesty, this is wrong for you, how can you be like this, no matter whether the concubine is beautiful or ugly, you have to treat everyone equally." ”

"Yes, yes, because I don't look as good as the emperor wants, the emperor doesn't bother to talk to the slave, so he hasn't even asked the name of the slave. ”

Zhao Ke was even more relieved of Dong Yan, such a 'woman' would never be favored in front of the emperor, even if it was the emperor's turn to spend the night in her palace, the emperor would not necessarily be happy with her.

She thought again, the harem is full of such 'female' talents, no one will take Xu Dong away from her, if there are more delicate 'female' sons like Zhou Nan, then how dangerous she Zhao Ke should be.

"Forget it, I don't blame you, your appearance is so inappropriate, it really makes people feel pitiful, so come to me tomorrow, and I will teach you some ways to make up for your bad appearance. ”

Dong Yan said, "Thank you Niangniang for taking care of the slave maid, I have to worry about it, but I am afraid that the slave and maid will be 'sexual' dull and unbearable for the careful teaching of the mother, but it will ruin the mother's kindness." ”

Xu Dong was amused when he heard it, Zhao Ke said that he wanted to teach her how to make up for her bad appearance, in fact, this 'woman' used Zhao Ke to teach, she was very familiar with all the concubines in this palace.

Dong Yan's pretending to be stupid and stunned received a good effect, which not only eliminated Zhao Ke's vigilance, but also gained some of Zhao Ke's trust, and sympathized with this 'woman' in Zhao Ke's heart.

After reaping the desired effect, Dong Yan retired in time, and she took the two palace maids to nod to Zhao Ke again and again, expressing their respect, and then withdrew from the Seventeen Horse Mansion.

"Xianggong, anyway, I can't monopolize you in the future, I have to let you go to Linxing Concubine Xing, I might as well be generous as a person in the main palace, and I want you to go to the 'Cold Cicada Palace' to Lin Xing Concubine Dong tonight, how about it." ”

Xu Dong said in his heart, seeing that you Zhao Ke have to pretend to be mature, isn't this Dong Yan's way, you think that a vulgar 'woman' like Dong Yan will not invite pets, then you Zhao Ke is simply wrong.

But he had to hide his inner thoughts, cooperate with Dong Yan's performance in front of Zhao Ke just now, pretending to be the boss's reluctance, and his face was a look of Zhao Ke pinching his nose and asking him to eat.

"Can you do it well, I can never be a concubine for the rest of my life, you must not let me go to the 'Chilling Cicada Palace', I even lose my appetite when I look at such a 'female'. ”

"Yo ho. Zhao Ke said, "You will be picky, your soul has been taken away by Zhou Nan, I don't want you to go to the 'Ice Wheel Palace', why should I let you succeed." ”

Zhao Ke's self-righteousness helped Dong Yan, she defeated Zhou Nan easily and quietly, once again showing the strength of a mature 'woman', proving that "stuffy 'chicken' pecks white rice" is a truth.

Xu Dong pretended to be full of despair, "If you really want to embarrass me, then I have to stay in the 'Cold Cicada Palace' for the night, and it is impossible for me to do that kind of thing with this village 'girl'." ”

Zhao Ke said, "Okay, okay, don't put a bitter gourd face in front of me, then you can stay overnight in the 'Cold Cicada Palace', and I will give you a chance to raise your 'essence'." ”

When this matter was confirmed, most of the concubines who came to ask the queen for peace also arrived, and Concubine Yu of the "Laurel Palace" and Concubine Pang of the "'Jade' Rabbit Palace" entered the Seventeen Horse Mansion almost at the same time.

Hearing the pots and shovels greeting people at the entrance of the 'door', Zhao Ke hurriedly gave Xu Dong a 'look' and told him to hide behind the curtain, so as not to prevent those 'women' from seeing the emperor present and hindering them from fully performing in front of her.

"The queen is auspicious, the remnants of the 'Laurel Palace' have invited you to come here. ”

"The queen is auspicious, Pang Ying of the Jade Rabbit Palace has invited you to come. ”

After all, it was the first day to accept these concubines and nobles to greet him, and Zhao Ke put on a full show to show his prestige as a queen.

"Well, Yu Xianren, Pang Ying, why did you come now, half an hour later than Zhou Nan and Dong Yan in front, do you still have me, the master of the harem, in your eyes. ”

Yu Xiren hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Back to the queen, the slave maid originally wanted to come over earlier, but I was afraid that the queen mother and the emperor would not get up so early, and the slave and maid would not dare to disturb the queen mother and the emperor's recuperation." ”

Zhao Ke didn't really embarrass them, so he found himself under the stairs, "Well, this is also a reason, but you can wait at the 'door' in the future, and the emperor and I will let the personal eunuch inform you after we get up." ”

Yu Raider nodded frequently.

Pang Ying said, "You don't know anything about the queen, there is a rule in the hands of the emperor of the previous dynasty, and there is an order for the harem concubines to ask the queen for peace, that is, I and Yu Xianren can't rush in front of the two palaces of 'Ice Wheel' and 'Cold Cicada'." ”
