Donggong Zhangjiao

The next day.

In front of the civil and military officials of the court, Pei Yao announced the appointment of the fourth prince as crown prince.

This was the outcome that everyone had expected, so there was no objection to the matter and it was settled smoothly.

The fourth prince was not yet old enough to go to court, so the imperial edict was handed over to him only later.

Although he is young, the fourth prince already knows what a prince is.

After becoming a prince, he is different from other brothers.

After receiving the order, the fourth prince was led by the palace servants to Jingqian Palace to express his gratitude.

Pei Yao left the fourth prince in the royal study and had a solemn and solemn talk with him for the first time.

The path of the fourth prince will be different from now on. He needs to be taught how to be a prince and how to be a good prince.

After the imperial edict was issued, the next step was to leave it to the Ministry of Rites to handle the canonization ceremony and other matters. It was still quite busy.

Fengxuan Palace.

After the queen learned that the fourth prince was established as the crown prince, she was silent for a while.

Xuan Zhi laughed at himself, "If I had known that today would be the result, why would I have put in so much effort, exhausted many people in vain, and made my son suffer."

"My Majesty, please don't say such things. Your Majesty can't predict the future. This situation is not what your Majesty wishes, and I know it in my heart." Minsi comforted her softly.

The queen narrowed her eyes and said, "You don't have to comfort me. I don't regret anything now. There will always be some unsatisfactory things in this life."

After hearing what the queen said, Minsi sighed and said nothing more.

After a long while, the queen whispered again.

"It doesn't matter if he is the fourth prince. I see that the child has a kind heart. He is also very nice to Xu'er. Children will never act."

"It's good that your Majesty can think so." Minsi said softly, "After all, your Majesty, you will still be the Queen Mother from now on."

The queen smiled and said nothing.

Looking out the window, the winter scene has slowly emerged, and I have my own plans in mind.

After the crown prince was appointed, Pei Yao immediately announced something to the public.

From today on, his harem will no longer be drafted.

The emperor's draft was originally for the purpose of spreading branches, not for enjoyment. Now he has four sons and three daughters, which is quite a lot. Moreover, the prince has been established and there are successors, so there is no need to accept any more concubines.

On the one hand, the large number of people in the harem can easily cause trouble, and on the other hand, now is the time when the new territory is being governed, so it is not easy to be distracted by the affairs of the harem.

Although the courtiers felt that it was inappropriate for Pei Yao to not choose a concubine from now on since he was still young.

But then I thought about it, there is no man who is not fond of women. As time goes by, he will feel bored and boring, and there will always be another move. Why bother to forcefully admonish him for this matter at this moment, which will make the emperor unhappy? Woolen cloth.

So the matter passed as it was, and none of the ministers objected.

Pei Yao also devoted himself to the management and construction of the northern part.

It was almost the end of the year and I was busy with government affairs. Now I had to take care of the new territory that I had opened up, which made it even busier.

In a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve.

During this period, Pei Yao was not only in Jingqian Palace, but also in Yuzhang Palace.

Originally, Pei Yao meant that the Queen was temporarily deprived of the rights of the Sixth Palace. It was most appropriate for Fang Yun to take care of the Sixth Palace. However, Fang Yun said that the Seventh Princess was still young and needed to be taken care of, so she was afraid that she would be too busy. Come, so I brought Concubine Jin and Concubine Song along with me.

The Queen has not been deposed. As long as the Queen is here, the power of the Sixth Palace will not be in his hands, so why bother himself.

Furthermore, Concubine Jin and Concubine Song were also close to her originally. Some people did not use them, and they became useless after being left for a long time.

The night before the New Year's Eve palace banquet, Pei Yao rested in Yuzhang Palace as usual.

After the bath, the two lay down, and Fang Yun took the initiative to bring up the matter of Fengxuan Palace.

Fang Yun said that as the mother of the country, it is better for the queen to attend such a big event as the New Year's Eve palace banquet.

Sooner or later, the queen will come out. It's only beneficial for her to open her mouth first, so why bother with the matter that concerns people for half a month.

She didn't want others to talk about her. She became frivolous and disrespectful of the middle palace because her son became the prince. In this way, her reputation would be damaged. She was afraid that it would bring down the reputation of the fourth prince and make the world think that the prince had the throne. The biological mother of the villain.

Pei Yao originally had this idea, and was thinking about how to deal with Fang Yun. After all, the queen's personal maid wanted to poison Fang Yun not long ago.

Now that Fang Yun took the initiative to speak, he was surprised and relieved.

I feel from the bottom of my heart that Fang Yun understands the overall situation.

The next day, the news came to Fengxuan Palace, but the queen didn't say anything. At the New Year's Eve palace banquet that night, the queen also showed up according to the rules.

But after the palace banquet, the queen found Pei Yao and expressed that she wanted to leave the palace and go to the national temple to pray for the national destiny of Da Qi and the fifth prince.

Pei Yao did not agree, but the queen was determined and insisted on going.

Frankly speaking, if Pei Yao still cares about the relationship between husband and wife these years, just let her go. She no longer wants to stay in this harem. Besides, the national temple is not far away. The fifth prince is getting older and can visit more often. , she also sincerely wanted to eat well for a few years, pray for the Buddha for a few years, and pray for the fifth prince.

Moreover, the queen also stated that she would not go now, but would naturally wait until the first month is over and then leave the palace in February.

She had made up her mind to leave, and after a long silence, Pei Yao agreed.

After Fang Yun learned about this, he was also disappointed for a long time.

She wanted to say that the queen was more blessed than she was and could escape like this, but she felt that she was not qualified to say so.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she has already taken all the blessings. From such a humble background, to reaching this stage today is so glorious.

The sweetness, bitterness and bitterness of this world are always indescribable.

On the day the queen left the palace, Fang Yun went to see her off.

The two looked at each other in silence, but seemed to understand each other in each other's eyes.

"Concubine Zhao, I hope you can treat the fifth prince well."

Before getting into the car, the queen turned her head.

Fang Yun looked at her and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Madam."

The queen said no more, thanked her, and got into the carriage.

Watching the carriage gradually go away, Fang Yun also knew that once the queen left, it would be difficult to come back.

After the queen left, Pei Yao did something that no one expected.

He made Prime Minister Lu the fourth prince's tutor.

Originally, when the courtiers saw the queen leaving the harem and going to the national temple to pray, it was because the Lu family had lost their sacred heart. They didn't expect that Prime Minister Lu could become the tutor of the fourth prince.

Not only the courtiers, but also Prime Minister Lu were surprised.

He was wondering if Pei Yao was retreating in order to advance, and wanted him to take the initiative to resign.

Unexpectedly, when Prime Minister Lu came to see Pei Yao with such thoughts, Pei Yao said that he was sincere.

In any case, it was the Lu family that helped him when he was in all kinds of difficulties, and now he can see that Prime Minister Lu understands everything.

In this case, Pei Yao is naturally not a person who repays kindness with hatred.

Fang Yun didn't have any objections here.

After all, when it comes to knowledge, Prime Minister Lu is indeed one of the best in the court. He was Pei Yao's tutor at the beginning, and now he comes to teach the fourth prince. As long as he has no selfish motives and is willing to teach well, he will definitely not go wrong.

Facts have proved that Pei Yao was right.

Under the guidance of Prime Minister Lu, the fourth prince has made rapid progress in a few years, which is no worse than what Pei Yao did back then.

Seeing his son growing up so well, Pei Yao let go and started working.

He is in his prime, the country is prosperous, and there will be successors in the future, so there is nothing to worry about.

The previous dynasty was stable, and Pei Yao kept his promise, and there really was no new member in the harem.

After fighting for many years, he suddenly calmed down completely. Fang Yun felt that he was enjoying it but felt that it was unreal and unaccustomed.

Fortunately, there is a seventh princess by my side. The little girl is lively and cute, which adds a lot of fun to the ordinary days.

If there is anyone who is unsettled, it is Pei Yao.

Seeing that the children were getting older and could take care of themselves, Pei Yao began to whisper about going to sea day and night.

Not only does he want to go, but Fang Yun also wants to go with him.

Yes, from beginning to end, these stable days and unstable days are all because of him.

The ending is a bit sudden, but I feel that it really should end. Thank you to my readers who have been with me all this time. I am really grateful. You are the motivation for me to persevere.
Since the beginning of February, updates have been interrupted for a few days. I did have a slight health problem. I saw someone in the comment area guessed correctly. Yes, I am going to have a baby dragon. However, the early pregnancy was still very severe and I couldn’t bear the vomiting. , I couldn’t eat, and I was so sleepy that I couldn’t open my eyes. It was partly for this reason that I decided to stop writing the story here. I hope everyone will bear with me.
I will write some extras next, which is also my habit, as all old readers know.

I originally wanted to keep up with the new book, but now I really don’t have the energy to support it, so I have put the new work on hold for now. When I have the energy, I will continue to create. I hope everyone can still come to support me.

In the new year, I wish everyone all the best and a smile. I love you!
