Chapter 265 The new emperor ascends the throne
Today is the full moon of the little tiger. In addition to the name given by his father, there was also a full moon banquet and full moon ceremony to be held in the palace.But because it was now a time of mourning, all banquets were avoided, so the emperor decided to only hold a simple full moon ceremony in the East Palace, with only a few close relatives attending.

Cheng Hanbai has been back from the North Zhili Guards Barracks for several days. He will not go back until he has witnessed the enthronement and empress conferment ceremonies.Qingyao stuck to Cheng Hanbai like a dog-skin plaster that couldn't be peeled off.

No, the couple came to the East Palace together.

"See you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Cheng Hanbai did not dare to put on a smile and said seriously: "Today, I, the uncle, have personally come to hug my nephew."

Haitang nodded hurriedly: "Everything is ready. Tiger is on the crib, and I asked the nanny to hold him. It's not a loss for you two to hold Tiger in your arms today. Maybe good things will come to you when you get back."

Qingyao knew what Haitang was talking about, and her face turned red. She pushed Cheng Hanbai, who was secretly laughing, and said, "What are you laughing at? Why don't you hurry up and hug me!" Cheng Hanbai felt strange: laughing is not allowed in the palace during the period of national filial piety. I'm already serious, how do you know I'm giggling?

The nurse has already come out with the little tiger in her arms. Today the tiger is dressed up like a little adult.

"Oh! The little tiger has grown up!" Han Bai shouted: "The last time I saw him was during the bath, his head was only as big as a fist, and now it is as big as a palm!"

"Why did you say it with fists and slaps, as if you were going to hit someone?" Princess Qingyao said angrily: "Be careful, don't make me cry!"

The tiger didn't recognize his life, and when he saw his uncle, he grinned toothlessly. He didn't know the rules of the country's filial piety.This made Cheng Hanbai so happy, he finally put away the smile on his face, ignored the emperor and empress, picked up the little tiger and went around, the nanny, girl, and mother hurriedly followed with all kinds of things.

When they came back, several princes and princesses also arrived. The prince came alone. Now the prince is close to giving birth and it is inconvenient to go out.Although it is just a simple salute, there are still many steps.

The emperor personally read the proclamation of praise, then cleaned his hands, offered incense to the ancestors and saluted, and read out the name of Xie Yunhui. Haitang held the child in her arms and recognized her uncles and cousins ​​one by one. Everyone clasped their hands to pray for Xie Yunhui.

Everyone came to the atrium with Xie Yunjue in their arms. The emperor took out his bow and arrow and shot an arrow in each of the four directions: east, west, north and south.Finally, his uncle Cheng Hanbai shaved off his fetal hair.This is considered a ceremony.

Prince Kang said: "Brother, with Yunhui taking the lead, the princes behind you have to follow! My brother has not announced the good news to you yet. Princess Pei is already three months pregnant."

"That's a great joy!" The emperor nodded and said, "Has the Queen Mother ever reported the good news? During this period, the Queen Mother and the Old Lady fell ill from overthinking. You should also go and make them happy."

Several women gathered around Pei Zhiheng and asked questions.Princess Pei was also shy and very happy. She was pregnant with the child before the two concubines, which made her secretly happy for a long time.She insisted on coming today because she wanted to get the blessing of the eldest prince, so that she could also give birth to a legitimate son in one fell swoop!

Princess Xu secretly sighed. Except for Mrs. Lin who gave birth to a daughter in Prince Xian's Mansion, there were many women in the backyard, but none of them moved.I heard from King Xian that the prince's palace in the fiefdom was being expanded, but he was afraid that there wouldn't be enough room for him...

Before everyone left, congratulatory gifts from various palaces were also delivered one after another.Yan Shiyi also asked Zhao Muche to bring a gift, which was a small bow he made himself.The emperor clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, coughed twice and said, "I wonder when the tiger will be able to draw this bow?"

A few days later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to send clothes to the East Palace for the enthronement ceremony.The Yangxin Hall has also been re-decorated. The late emperor has been practicing Taoism in Wuying Hall, but he has not lived in the Yangxin Hall for a long time.

It was supposed that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was going to put on a big show, but the emperor said that it could just be tidied up.The emperor only had one wife and no other concubines, and both of them were frugal, which saved the Ministry of Internal Affairs a lot of trouble.

What makes it even more troublesome is that there are not many concubines of the late emperor in the harem, basically there are only a few princes and princesses left.The emperor ordered that these new concubines do not need to move. Anyway, the palaces are empty and desolate, so it is better for them to live in their own way as before, so that there will be more people in the palace.

The only one who wants to move to the palace is Concubine Ji.She will soon be canonized as the Queen Mother, but the former Queen is still confined in Chiyun Palace. She is not mentioned in the edict to canonize the Queen Mother.

On the day of the emperor's enthronement and conferment ceremony, the autumn air was crisp and the sun was shining brightly.The young emperor took his dignified queen and stood outside the main hall to accept the worship of the officials.Although the late emperor had not yet surrendered his service and kept everything simple, the voice of the mountain shouting "Long Live the Mountain" still echoed over the palace with passion.

Xie Ruitang's heart was beating with great ambition. He wanted to make the country rich and powerful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.In his previous life, he gave up this right and responsibility and witnessed brothers killing each other, eunuchs taking power, and powerful officials forming cliques. In this life, he wants to correct all of this with his own hands.

Cheng Haitang seemed to be in a dream.She and Xie Ruitang got to know each other and fell in love with each other. Over the past two years, everything that happened is still vivid in her mind. Now, Xie Ruitang has finally reached the highest position in the empire and has taken on the greatest responsibility. .

The two people held their hands tightly together, as if they were talking about the past and promising the future.The warmth coming from Cheng Haitang's hand made Xie Ruitang feel so stable and full of excitement.

The first time he stepped into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart as a master, everything seemed familiar yet strange to Xie Ruitang.

"What others see is that you have supreme rights, but in your heart, you have to bear the heavy burden of the country and the country." Haitang untied Xie Ruitang's belt and said softly: "Look at you, you are just When you become an emperor, you learn to sigh."

"Don't you see? This mess that my father left for me is simply a mess and riddled with holes." Xie Ruitan really couldn't laugh this time and sighed again.

"The concubine once saw a woman spinning thread. When the thread ball was messed up, the woman was not in a hurry to untie it. Instead, she picked up the thread ball, shook it in the wind, found the end of the thread, and slowly arranged it along the end of the thread. That ball of thread can be straightened." Haitang asked Xie Ruitang to sit down, took off his hat, took the comb from the maid's hand, and slowly smoothed his hair.

When Xie Ruitang saw that there was no one in the inner hall, he turned around, pulled her to sit on his lap as before, and said with a smile:

"For your words, I must sort out this mess."
