Chapter 325 Draft
The emperor and empress passed away, and all the officials went to the funeral.

Princess Anning, who had just been sent back by Xie Yongfu, arrived late.

The princess knelt down in front of the emperor's coffin, in disbelief for a long time.

When she left, her father and mother were obviously still alive, but when she came back, they were gone.

At this moment, An Ning resented herself for being too willful.

She stepped forward, wanting to lift the coffin and see the Empress for the last time, but was stopped by Lu Zhan.

"Princess's condolences." Lu Zhan said, "Let father and queen rest in peace."

Princess Anning burst into tears, "It's my minister who is unfilial, my minister deserves to die!"

Her father and mother loved her so much, but because of a man, she couldn't see her father and mother for the last time.

They must have thought of her before they died.

Princess Anning cried out in grief and passed out.

The funeral lasted for 49 days, and the emperor and empress were buried together in the mausoleum. Princess Anning insisted on guarding the tomb for three years, but the new emperor could only agree.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, according to the usual practice, he promoted the three princesses to be the eldest princess, respected Shen Yue as the empress, Liang Wan, the righteous daughter of the Marquis of Liang, was the noble concubine, Rong's son Xin was the concubine De, Kou Ya was the concubine Yaxian, and the granddaughter of Liang Taishi's family was the concubine Shu. .

Because the new emperor was young and hadn't reached the crown yet, the most important thing in his daily life was reading. The queen mother invited several great Confucian scholars to teach the new emperor to read.

The new emperor, Lu Zhan, also had a special eye. Whenever he came to the court, whenever a courtier asked for a major event, he would first ask the ministers for advice, and then focus on asking the regent's opinion.

The emperor and empress respected each other as guests, and the emperor also treated Shen Guogong, the father-in-law, with extra courtesy.

This satisfied Shen Guogong and the regent.

Three years have passed since the late emperor's death, the filial piety period has passed, and there are more banquets in the capital.

Those few people came and went in the palace, neither the previous emperor nor the new emperor were lustful people, and up to now, there are only a few children of the aristocratic family in the new emperor's harem.

The most important thing is that in the three years since the new emperor's ascension to the throne, not a single heir has come to the world.

This made the ministers panic, fearing that the new emperor would follow in the footsteps of the previous emperor, so they invited the new emperor to be drafted.

The new emperor pondered for a while when he heard the words, and turned to look at his mother, the empress dowager.

The original concubine Shen, the current mother empress dowager is very satisfied with the new emperor's obedient appearance, in fact, from the standpoint of the Shen family, the new emperor and Empress Shen respect each other as guests, and spend most of the time in the room of the empress Shen Yue every month .

The Shen family is very satisfied with the current position.

But it happened that Shen Yue couldn't bear children, so by taking this opportunity, Shen's daughter entered the palace as a concubine and gave birth to an heir, so it could be recorded in Shen Yue's name.

Empress Dowager Shen agreed.

When the new emperor saw that the Empress Dowager Shen agreed, he himself easily let go.

Afterwards, Shen Guogong came to the palace of Queen Mother Shen.

"Father," although she was already the empress dowager, when she saw her father, the empress dowager Shen dared not take Joe at all.

She knew very well that she was able to achieve her current status entirely because of her natal family behind her, the Shen family.

Shen Guogong's face was not very good-looking, "Today's emperor's draft, why did you agree so easily?"

Empress Dowager Shen said: "The new emperor has been on the throne for three years but has no heirs. The most important thing is that Yue'er can't bear children. He always finds an excuse to send our Shen family's daughter into the palace. Why don't we use the name of the draft."

"My daughter is thinking, when the daughter of the Shen family gives birth to the new emperor's heir, then the new emperor will be useless, and we can also support our own grandson. Isn't it easier to control when he is young?"

Hearing what Queen Mother Shen said, Duke Shen's face turned pale.

"That's not necessary." Shen Guogong said: "The regent has the power to be a regent, wouldn't it be easier to support him."

Empress Dowager Shen naturally knew that Duke Shen wanted to be close to King Han.

"However," Empress Dowager Shen had her own opinion, "Although King Han is born of my aunt, my aunt is only the stepdaughter of the Shen family, and King Han is a little too old to control. What good will he do to our Shen family?"

"Before there was no other choice, but now"

However, Shen Guogong directly interrupted the Empress Dowager Shen, "Stop talking, King Han was raised by me alone, he is different from others."

"As for the draft, since the matter has already been decided, I need you to pay more attention to the matter of the harem. As a father, I don't want to have children in the harem in a short time."

Although the first emperor had his last words on his deathbed, Princess Jiangling and the Liu family became empress dowagers in one step.

Needless to say, Mrs. Liu, although she has a pretty face, she was born in a brothel, so she is timid and cowardly, so she can't get on the stage.

Princess Jiangling was ill all day long.

As the Queen Mother, they all consciously obeyed the Queen Mother Shen's words, and they could only enjoy the glory in peace.

It can be said that this harem is now dominated by the Shen sisters.

Empress Dowager Shen didn't understand her father's intentions of being obsessed with King Han, but she knew that Duke Shen didn't like people disobeying her, so she didn't insist on this issue.

She is the daughter of the Shen family, she only gave birth to a daughter and no son, so naturally the Shen family is the first.

Father is the head of the Shen family, so he will never do anything bad to the Shen family.

Empress Dowager Shen nodded very obediently.

Late at night, in Yikun Palace.

The former Princess of Jiangling, the current Empress Dowager Qi has lost her sickly appearance in the past, and her well-dressed makeup looks even more seductive under the dim candlelight.

On her couch, a man was sitting.

The third master of the Shen family is [-]% the same as Shen Guogong in appearance, but because the third master Shen is thinner, even though he is in his early forties, the third master Shen still vaguely looks suave.

Third Master Shen skillfully embraced Empress Dowager Qi into his arms.

"A Huai, I really want to hold you in my arms every day like today." Third Master Shen whispered in Empress Dowager Qi's ear.

Empress Dowager Qi said: "Third Master, please be more careful. After all, although I am the Empress Dowager now, I am only a nominal Empress Dowager. If someone finds out, I am afraid it will be bad for the Third Master's future."

"However, if the third master wants to stay with me like this every day, I hope the third master can provide Zhan'er with more help."

"That's easy to say." Third Master Shen said, "After all, you and I are already on the same boat."

"Since I first met in the capital more than 20 years ago, I have always missed you, and I don't want you to come back to the capital one day."

Third Master Shen looked devoutly, "For you, I will do everything willingly."

"I used to be able to encourage my elder brother to attack Empress Rong for you, but now I can also risk my life for you."

An aunt of the Empress Dowager Qi married a distant cousin of the Shen family. When the Empress Dowager Qi was young, she came to visit her aunt and lived in the Shen family, so she met the third master Shen.

At that time, boys and girls were in love with each other, but because they were too young and too reserved at that time, they did not express this feeling.

Later, the Empress Dowager Qi returned to Jiangling and married the King of Jiangling according to her parents' orders.

Shen Sanye also married the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department.

After many years, the Empress Dowager Qi came to the capital with her son. Because the person she wanted was huge and she was isolated and helpless, she contacted Mr. Shen.

Empress Dowager Qi also learned about the situation of the Shen family from Third Master Shen.
