Before exile, the imperial concubine emptied the palace

Liang Jingyao was afraid that Prince Rong would anger Lin Xiaoyue, so he quickly explained: "Father, this has nothing to do with Yue'er. The child just feels that he still needs to practice, and I hope the father understands. Besides, there is an old monster of wine to regulate the body of the father, and he will surely live a long life. Hundred years old!"

Prince Rong said angrily and funnyly: "Spoof! Forget it, I will give you three years as a father. When the three years are over, you must sit on this dragon chair! I am old, so I can only do this for you."

When Liang Jingyao heard the back, his nose suddenly became sore. His father's hair has turned gray a lot this time when he came back from the northern border, and his originally tall and straight body began to be a little rickety. His father is really old!

"Thank you, father! My son is going to invite Qin Tianjian now!" Liang Jingyao saluted respectfully, and then withdrew from the Palace of Qinzheng.

Seven days later, the loud bells rang, and the birds seemed to have been summoned, flapped their wings and flew out of their nests, and the people took to the streets in new clothes, and the streets were festively decorated with lanterns and festoons, as lively as the New Year generally.

In the palace, because Prince Rong's concubine died of illness a few years ago on the way to exile, all matters related to enthronement were handled by Princess Mingzhu. I haven't been back to my eldest princess mansion for days.

"Yue'er, has the Ministry of Rituals prepared everything according to the rules? There will be no mistakes in the enthronement ceremony, otherwise it will be a crime of disrespect." Princess Mingzhu has already counted twice, but she is still worried about herself. What will be missed.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Princess, don't worry, everything is ready. The servant of the Ministry of Rites has already gone to the Temple of Heaven to wait, and it's time for us to go."

Princess Mingzhu suddenly remembered that she hadn't gone to pay her respects to the Queen Mother in the morning, and said angrily, "Oh no, why did I forget to pay my respects to the Queen Mother! Has the Queen Mother already gone to the Temple of Heaven?"

Lin Xiaoyue felt the nervousness of Princess Mingzhu, stepped forward to hold her hand, squeezed Princess Mingzhu's palm, and comforted: "Princess Princess, I have gone to greet the Queen Mother on your behalf in the morning, Queen Mother I don't blame you, she should still be waiting for us to set off together. Let's go!"

Princess Mingzhu heaved a sigh of relief, and walked out holding Lin Xiaoyue's hand.

Because there is no female family member in Prince Rong's mansion, after Princess Mingzhu and Queen Mother Yan met, they set off to the rooftop together.

At this time, the rooftop was already full of civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor, and the eunuch said, "It's auspicious time! Play music!" Everyone's eyes were focused on the man on the top.

This man is Prince Rong who is about to enthroned as the emperor. He is wearing a blue dress today. Amidst the music, Prince Rong went to the altar to offer incense, offering jade and silk, and then the eunuch handed the Zhu Wen to Prince Rong. Prince Rong began to recite the Zhu Wen aloud.

After reading the Zhu Wen, Prince Rong once again saluted, offered gifts, and bestowed silk...

After the Heaven Sacrifice Hall was over, the enthronement ceremony was held. At this time, it was still dark, and the pine, cypress and sandalwood were ignited in the burner, and the attendants put the prepared yellow robe on for Prince Rong.

Prince Rong was wearing a yellow robe and looked at the officials. The officials stood on both sides. Master Guo presented the emperor's jade seal to congratulate Prince Rong. age!"

At this time, Prince Rong officially became the new Emperor Ronghuang of Dongsui Kingdom. He raised his hand and said, "Everyone loves you forever!"

The enthronement ceremony went very smoothly, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles, because the late emperor had always praised Prince Rong for his benevolence and compassion for the world, and Liang Jingyao, as Prince Rong's son, had always been outstanding and won People's hearts, so the enthronement of Prince Rong is like a booster, boosting everyone's confidence in the future.

Back in the Hall of Qinzheng, Liang Jingyao was the first to go up to congratulate him, and said, "Congratulations to the emperor's successful enthronement, our Dongsui Kingdom will surely prosper forever!"

"Hahaha!" Rong Huang laughed loudly and said, "You kid is also very glib now, don't forget what you promised me!"

Liang Jingyao nodded guiltily, and said, "Of course, I will worry about my father, father, you can rest assured!"

Ronghuang heard something wrong, but today is a good day, Ronghuang didn't think about it carefully, and there were hundreds of officials outside waiting for him to go out to the banquet, Ronghuang changed his clothes and came out and urged Said: "Let's go, don't make everyone wait."

Palace of Preserving Harmony.

At this time, the singing and dancing in the hall was peaceful, the tables were filled with food and wine, and the ministers had already entered the venue with their families and sat down.

Emperor Rong sat on the dragon chair, Liang Jingyao sat on one side as the prince, and on the other side were Empress Dowager Yan and Princess Mingzhu. The two rows of officials sitting below were arranged according to their official positions.

"Today is a happy day. This is the first glass of wine I have to offer to the Empress Dowager. It is the Empress Dowager's trust in me that allows me to sit in this position." Emperor Rong turned to face Empress Dowager Yan and drank the wine in his glass.

Although the Empress Dowager Yan was not feeling well, she let go of her resentment and unwillingness under the persuasion of the eldest princess these days.

"Emperor, this is what the people want. Aijia hopes that the emperor can live up to the expectations of the people and make our Dongsui country even stronger." Empress Dowager Yan raised her glass and drank the wine in it.

Regardless of whether Empress Dowager Yan said this sincerely or falsely, Emperor Rong himself was very happy, because in front of all the officials, Empress Dowager Yan did not lose face to himself.

"Yes, I will definitely remember it in my heart!"

"For this second glass of wine, I will respectfully list you as ministers, and I will ask you to assist me in the future to ensure the safety and prosperity of Dongsui country!" Rong Huang poured himself another glass of wine and said.

All the officials below stood up, held their wine glasses in both hands and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After drinking the second glass of wine, Emperor Rong poured himself a third glass of wine. He said to the outside of the palace: "This third glass of wine, I want to respect the people of Dongsui Kingdom. To end famine and war and bring more happiness to the people!"

The officials were infected, knelt on the ground and shouted: "The emperor's sages are the blessings of Dongsui and the people!"

……

On this day, before dawn, Liang Jingyao put on the original coarse clothes and left the capital with Lin Xiaoyue.

"Brother Liang, if you leave without saying hello, aren't you afraid that Emperor Rong will be angry?" In fact, Lin Xiaoyue didn't know Liang Jingyao's plan at all, and she felt unreal walking on the street now.

Liang Jingyao said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already left a letter to my father. You have suffered so much with me before, and now I should accompany you to see the great rivers and mountains of our Dongsui. I believe my father I will understand. And when we travel around, we can also visit privately, help the father to investigate the people's sentiments, and track down corrupt officials. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Lin Xiaoyue never imagined that Liang Jingyao could think so much for herself, but her face...

"Brother Liang, I... I haven't taken off the human skin mask you gave me. Aren't you curious about my real identity?" Lin Xiaoyue touched her face unconfidently, wondering if Liang Jingyao had any information before she crossed over. I have seen the original owner.

If he had seen it, then Liang Jingyao would have known at a glance that she was the noble concubine in the palace, so would he still treat him as well as he does now?
Liang Jingyao smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Xiaoyue's hand, and said, "Don't you want to say that you were once the Concubine Yue of Xiaoyue Palace?"

Lin Xiaoyue's hand fell down vertically like a kite with a broken string. She looked at Liang Jingyao in amazement with her bright eyes, and asked, "You, why... I, I didn't..."

Liang Jingyao hugged Lin Xiaoyue who was about to escape, and explained: "I didn't know at first. Yesterday I drank too much to get the wind out. I saw you sitting alone in Xiaoyue Palace in a daze, and then...he died..."

Lin Xiaoyue felt a momentary crit in her heart, she pushed Liang Jingyao away, and said angrily: "Damn him! If he hadn't been fatuous, I wouldn't have been exiled and lived in hiding! Only if he died, I would still Only then can you be safe! Now that you know the truth, you have regretted it. If you want to be killed or cut, it is up to you!"

Liang Jingyao looked at Lin Xiaoyue guarding against him like a hedgehog, and he was really helpless and distressed!
"Fool, if I regret it, why would I still bring you out? I will settle everything for you. After three years, you can just wait to be my queen! In this world, only you are worthy to share with me! Yue'er, you are you willing?"

Lin Xiaoyue felt that the high embankment built in her heart collapsed suddenly, and warm liquid flowed from the atrium, flowed through the limbs and bones, and finally condensed into a drop of crystal tears and slipped from the corner of the eye. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue was really sure of her heart and answered affirmatively. Said: "I am willing to..."
