Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 195: Say goodbye to the night, say goodbye to the morning and evening

In the summer of the 24th year of Yangjia, the 50-year-old emperor closed his eyes forever, and the dynasty welcomed the departure of another master.

After the death of the saint, the queen became ill due to longing for him. The illness came like a mountain, and she passed away three days later.

The king of Qi sent a far-reaching seal to the land of Chu and went to the capital to keep vigil.

People in the palace were in panic. The late emperor's edict was passed on to King Zheng, and hundreds of officials went to the imperial mausoleum to invite King Zheng to ascend the throne.

The haze hanging over the imperial city finally dissipated after the new emperor succeeded to the throne.

The young emperor came to court for the first time, implemented the law of benevolent governance and granted amnesty to the world.

He went with hundreds of officials to the southern suburbs to offer sacrifices to the emperor, who was named Shengping, and started the following year.

The new emperor wore a gong mian and offered sacrifices in advance to the God of Haotian, Emperor of the Earth, Ming Dynasty, Night Ming, Stars, Sheji Taisui, Yuezhen, Haidu, Mountains and Rivers, and City God. He read the edict of enthronement in praise to announce to the world that the new emperor ascended the throne.

The Queen Mother is respected as the Queen Mother, and Concubine Shunde is the Queen Mother.

At the beginning of the new year, the queen held a banquet in the palace to entertain her bride.

Princess Mingzhu claimed to be ill and disappeared, and everyone knew that she would gradually fade away from being a core member of the royal family.

The new queen was once Princess Zheng. She was kind to others and did not put on airs in front of her destined wife.

He Shaoguang met the queen's eyes, and the queen winked at her, and then heard her say: "Cong'er should be awake, take her out so that all the ladies can see her."

Everyone only knew that the eldest prince was the only son of the new emperor, born before he ascended the throne.

After the eldest prince was taken out by the wet nurse and walked around in front of everyone, the ladies from each family praised the child for his good looks, strong body and smart appearance.

When the Queen heard these compliments, she smiled faintly: "Speaking of it, I heard that Sheng Cong was very dangerous when he was a baby, and the baby was so thin that he almost died."

"Now that the eldest prince is so healthy, it can be seen that the empress and the eldest prince are deeply blessed, and everything will go smoothly in the future!"

I don't know which official's wife she is, but she speaks very nicely.

"Thanks to the Empress Dowager and Madam Lu. If it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't have been able to give birth to this child. It was also thanks to Madam Lu's dietary supplement that Cong'er was able to grow up later.

In the future, when this child grows up, I will definitely ask him to accept Mrs. Lu as his godmother. "

She said these words very happily, and the ladies looked at He Shaoguang differently.

He Shaoguang was moved in her heart. She knew that Gao Wenxian was trying to make a face for her.

Mrs. Xue was so blessed that she followed the Queen's words and echoed: "My wife has a personal relationship with Mrs. Lu. She is indeed kind-hearted."

Many married women whom I didn't know before went out of their way to inquire about them after returning home.

Only then did I realize that the He family was now so dazzling.

These people turned out to be from the same family.

The Lu Mansion also received a letter from Xu Ruyun and Lu Ruqing. The letter said that the two lived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain for a long time. Like the local villagers, they worked at sunrise and rested at sundown.

At first, neither of them knew how to farm, so they hired a farmer to farm for them, and gradually they learned how to do it. Now they regard the two acres of thin farmland as a hobby, and they can also keep fit.

In vain, Lu Ruqing was not unable to adapt to the huge difference in status from a rich man to a wealthy farmer. Without the constraints of those dogmas in the capital, the relationship between the couple became even better.

The two concubines have arranged their own destinations according to their own wishes, and their lives are now much more enjoyable than in the mansion.

Xu Ruyun and Lu Ruqing no longer felt indebted.

The two of them let go. Although Mrs. Lu was angry, she didn't say anything in the end and snorted softly.

He Shaoguang held the thin letter and yearned for it.

She raised her head and looked at Lu Xiaowen. Lu Xiaowen understood his eyes and said, "When the period of filial piety is over, we will go and see the eldest brother and the others." They have been observing filial piety for six months and are not allowed to move around. Now the filial piety ceremony is about a month away.

It was early spring, and the sea of ​​flowers all over Zhongnan Mountain was a rare beauty.

Full of longing, she circled that day on her homemade calendar and invited Shi Nianjiao to go with them.

Mingrui can talk a lot now and is very excited about going on a long trip for the first time. Mingzhen also pats her chest and promises that she will be a good big sister.

Lu Fengju was still hesitant about whether to go or not. Finally, on the day of departure, he carried his luggage and chased him to the door, only to find that no one had any intention of inviting him.

It was Lu Xiaowen who was the most murderous and heart-wrenching one. He said seriously: "Third brother, you should stay in the capital to take care of your mother. We can't trust anyone else."

He Shaoguang nodded sharply and showed a harmless smile.

Lu Fengju was about to cry but had no tears. He opened his hands and said, "No, second brother, second sister-in-law, Nianjiao, I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time. I still want to see the scenery along the way."

Shi Nianjiao exposed him: "Are you afraid that you are the only one left in the house, and your mother will ask you to study every day when she has free time?"

……

OK, OK, squeeze him out!

Since Lu Fengju always spoiled the scenery with his words, the scenery along the way was so rare that he couldn’t live up to it, so in the end he didn’t take him with him.

A group of people set off on horses and carriages.

Perhaps because he had nothing to chase after, he was in a very relaxed mood for this trip. He Shaoguang became playful and wanted to borrow Lu Xiaowen's horse to run two laps.

She had learned how to ride a horse from him before, but she never rode much after learning it. She almost forgot about it. She yelled and screamed while riding on the horse and did not dare to use force at all.

Shi Nianjiao saw that she was cowering on the horse and that Lu Xiaowen was holding him from below, so she couldn't help laughing: "Do you feel sorry for the horse?"

He Shaoguang felt embarrassed and refused to ride. Shi Nianjiao pulled him back and said, "Don't leave. Why don't you compete with me?"

"Can you still ride a horse?"

He Shaoguang and Lu Xiaowen showed disbelief at the same time, which made Shi Nianjiao very disdainful: "What's so difficult about this? My horse dancing was unmatched by anyone back then."

After saying that, she lifted up her skirt, got on her horse, and made a gesture to invite He Shaoguang.

He Shaoguang slowly climbed up with her hand and sat in front of her.

Shi Nian pampered the horse and trotted around twice, his movements clean and neat.

After getting used to the feeling on the horse's back, he pinched the horse's belly and rushed out like an arrow from the string.

She chose a brown-red mare with a docile temperament, so Lu Xiaowen was not particularly worried.

After about a stick of incense, the two of them came back, unable to hide the excitement on their faces, especially He Shaoguang, who had just galloped on horseback, with the wind whistling past his ears and feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Her forehead hair was wet with sweat and fell limply into strands on her forehead. Lu Xiaowen didn't find it indecent.

Rather, they feel that they should be so vigorous and prosperous by birth, and there is no need to be submissive to others against their will.

When the two of them dismounted and walked toward him, he stood by the carriage and looked after the children.

The years are silent, the remaining clouds are scattered, and the bright river is covered with snow.

He Shaoguang asked him what he was thinking about?
Lu Xiaowen silently took back the reins and remained silent, earning a blank look.

After nightfall, he gently leaned into He Shaoguang's ear and whispered: "I bid you farewell to the evening, and bid farewell to the morning and evening."
