Chapter 567 Ascending the throne as emperor
May is the most beautiful month of the year, when the warm breeze makes people intoxicated.

Tea, fruits and snacks were placed in front of the wooden window of the Princess's Mansion. Puyang Yi sipped them slowly, raised her head and looked at the fallen flowers in the courtyard.

"It's already May. What on earth does Prince Yonghuai think?"

The eldest princess smiled and said, "He is still waiting."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

Puyang Yi asked seriously. The princess brushed the fallen flowers off her sleeves and asked instead of answering, "When will my son-in-law arrive?"

When Puyang Yi mentioned Wen Xingsu, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

She always couldn't help smiling whenever she thought of Wen Xingsu.

"It should be soon. Mother, wait a moment. I'll send someone to urge him..."

Before she finished speaking, footsteps were heard.

The maid happily reported:
"Your Highness, County Lord, General Wen is here."

Puyang Yi glanced over.

Wen Xingsui appeared at the other end of the flower path. He approached slowly, glanced at her, and bowed to the eldest princess.

"I'm late, I hope my mother-in-law will forgive me."

The eldest princess raised her eyelids lazily.

"sit down."

Wen Xingsui knelt obediently on one side and smiled back at Puyang Yi's innocent smile.

The princess looked at the two people looking at each other, curled the corners of her lips slightly, and asked Wen Xingsu about some things in the camp, and inquired about the recent movements of the Beiyong Army.

When the Beiyong Army was mentioned, Wen Xingsu fell silent.

He was in trouble, and Puyang Yi became anxious.

"Mom!"

The eldest princess frowned, "What's wrong? Can't I ask?"

Puyang Yi has never felt so powerless...

On one side is the beloved mother.

On one hand is her husband.

Now they are each doing their own thing, and she is stuck in the middle, like being tangled in a tangled mess, unable to struggle out and feeling powerless.

"Didn't we agree that today is just a family gathering and we won't talk about politics? Why did you go back on your word, mother?"

Seeing Puyang Yi's eyebrows raised and her complexion becoming increasingly worse, the princess smiled and signaled the servant to pour tea for Wen Xingsu, saying indifferently:
"Mother didn't talk about politics, but she was hesitant and wanted her son-in-law to help her with some matters."

Puyang Yi raised the corners of his lips, looked at her, and said nothing.

Wen Xingsu hurriedly cupped his hands, "If mother-in-law has something to say, you can speak frankly."

The eldest princess looked at him and smiled faintly, "You and Pingyuan have been married for so many years. I treat you as my own family. I am not shy with you. I will tell you whatever you want to say. I hope you will do the same."

Wen Xingsu nodded, "Of course."

The princess pondered for a moment, fiddling with the teapot with her left hand, and asked in a low voice, "In your opinion, how can the deadlock in Xijing be resolved?"

Wen Xingsu seemed to be prepared.

Without hesitation, he slowly raised his sleeves and, using the tea in the cup, wrote a word leisurely on the wooden desk.

"from."

The eldest princess watched the water stains spread and flow, and after a moment she raised her eyes and looked directly at Wen Xingsu.

"from?"

Wen Xingsui smiled and nodded at her.

"The only way for now is to be safe."
-
The weather in May was pleasant, and the city of Xijing was warm. The gentle breeze blew away the dark clouds in the sky, making people feel much more comfortable.

On the tenth day, Emperor Wenzhi, who had not attended court for a long time, summoned all the civil and military officials, princes and relatives to the Minguang Hall to discuss matters.

Under the scorching sun, Emperor Wenzhi, dragging his sick body, walked feebly up the steps with the help of eunuchs, sat on his dragon throne for the last time, and read out the abdication edict in front of all the court officials.

Pei Jue wanted to refuse, but the court officials had already knelt down on the spot, shouting "Long live the emperor".

Emperor Wenzhi, sitting on the dragon throne, bowed and saluted, repeatedly expressing his intention to abdicate and let others take over.

After a tug of war, Pei Jue was escorted to the throne and sat on the dragon chair.

The sound of shouting "Long live" echoed throughout the hall.

"Whatever is destined by heaven" will become a reality.

Emperor Wenzhi let out a long sigh and was helped out of the palace. It was unclear whether it was the relief of having unloaded a heavy burden or the worry about the future, but he hunched his shoulders and looked very lonely...

The turning point of history came quietly and swiftly during this season of blooming flowers.

At noon, the sun was still hanging red in the sky. At night, there was lightning and thunder in Xijing City. Bright streaks of lightning fell from the sky, as if splitting the sky open.

The heavy rain started coming down suddenly.

"The celestial phenomena are very strange."

"The emperor abdicated, and the sky showed strange signs. This is the leader of the revival."

"Who knows? Maybe it's God's wrath?"

All private discussions were drowned out by the heavy rain.

Things went smoothly and there was hardly any opposition.

The rumor of Emperor Wenzhi's abdication had been circulating for a long time, and the fire had finally been ignited. For many people, it was like a huge stone had been lifted off their shoulders, and the dust had finally settled.

The coronation ceremony was prepared in a hurry. Because Pei Cong did not like extravagance, he just followed the traditional rituals and did not hold a grand ceremony.

The new emperor issued an edict to change the country's name to "Yong" and the reign title to Jingning. From then on, Yong replaced Jin and abdication became a good story.

Pei Cong did not kill all the Yuan royal family members.

He respected Emperor Wenzhi as his "sworn brother", retained the etiquette of the emperor, and conferred him the title of King Yining.

The same applies to the eldest princess and members of the royal family; their titles, honors, ceremonies, and salaries should be retained and remain the same as before the abdication.

The whole court and the people praised him. It was not easy to have a good ending after abdicating. Everyone said that the new emperor had a broad mind. The eldest princess secretly sent people to the streets to build momentum, praising the new emperor for his foresight and wisdom. She always said whatever sounded good...

Just so that the royal family can have a "good end".

Feng Yun did not participate in this excitement.

She still stayed in Pei Mansion as usual, not making friends, not seeing guests, and not caring about the matter of enthroning the Queen that concerned countless people.

At first, Pei Yuan thought it was a done deal, and on the day Pei Cong ascended the throne, she came to congratulate him, holding hands with A Zuo and A You.

She even instructed the children to call her "Aunt Queen."

But half a month had passed since the coronation ceremony and it was almost June, and there was still no news at all.

Not only were other people gossiping about it, but even the people in Pei’s residence were beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed.

Xiaoman, Huan'er and the others saw that Feng Yun's gaze was becoming more and more obsessed, and they wished they had eight hundred mouths so they could ask them soul-searching questions.

The king ascended the throne as emperor...

Then shouldn’t it be natural for his first wife to be crowned queen?
Why did the new emperor delay in issuing an imperial decree?

Why aren't you in a hurry at all?
Everyone was about to get furious, but she had the leisure to prepare meals for Aozui and feed him until he was plump and healthy, as if he was a different cub and much stronger.

Later, Pei Yuan couldn't bear it anymore.

She brought the twins to Feng Yun's residence again and talked about many family matters in a roundabout way. Seeing that Feng Yun was smiling, she refused to talk and finally couldn't help it.

"Sister-in-law, don't blame me for being nosy. Although I don't understand the affairs of the court, I know family affairs very well... You can't wait like this any longer."

Feng Yun took a palm-leaf fan, waved it gently, and smiled nonchalantly.

"Sister, where did you get this from?"

Pei Yuan glanced at her with an angry look on her face, as if she hated her for not fighting back. She asked the maid to take the two children away, and then she sat closer.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Hurry up and urge Ah Jue to issue an edict to establish a queen."

Feng Yun looked at her sideways.

Pei Yuan's eyes were full of worry.

That is a kind of empathy that comes from a woman.

"But I heard that the emperor has no one to serve him, and those who are eager to offer their beauties are almost scrambling to get a head start. You are not in a hurry, but there are many who are."

After saying that, she paused for a moment, and seeing that Feng Yun was still unmoved, she sighed helplessly.

"Don't take it lightly. Most men in this world are unfaithful. Even if he is my brother, I will still say the same thing... Who knows when he will change his mind? You are a legitimate and upright person, and it is natural. What are you afraid of?"

Feng Yun smiled slightly.

"Thank you, sister. Your Majesty has his own plans, and I have my own future. Neither of us cares about this matter..."

not give a damn about?
Or "they"?
Pei Yuan couldn't understand what she was thinking.

"you are silly?"

Feng Yun looked at the sincere concern in her eyes and pursed his lips, "I will return to Andu when my father is better."

Pei Yuan was startled and choked.

Pei Cong's ascension to the throne did not shock others, but it only shocked his father greatly.

The Pei family is full of loyal and valiant people, and Pei Chong is even more loyal. Even though it was Emperor Wenzhi who took the initiative to abdicate, he still felt that the Pei family had done something wrong. He was so ashamed that he refused to see anyone and even made himself sick from anger, and was bedridden.

Pei Yuan thought about her father's life and shook her head.

"In my opinion, my father just can't get over it and can't forgive himself. After some time, he will get used to it and it will be fine..."

Feng Yun nodded.

Some ideas are deeply rooted.

If you want to change, it won’t happen overnight…

She said, "I have already told Doctor Yao to use more liver-soothing and spleen-benefiting medicines, but Doctor Yao will have to leave soon, so I will have to worry about the rest."

Pei Yuan frowned.

"Are you really going to leave?"

Feng Yun laughed softly: "Yeah, look at me here, isn't it embarrassing? I'm not embarrassed, but you're embarrassed for me."

Pei Yuan was unhappy.

This is not wrong.

She felt embarrassed for Feng Yun.

"I'll take care of this Ah Ji... If I don't fight for you, I'll fight for myself. Look, all the Yuan clan members have been settled down. How can I treat his family and wife well? What's going on?"

Pei Yuan was a straightforward person. She did what she said. She handed the two children to Feng Yun and turned around and left. Feng Yun couldn't stop her even if he called him.

"Eh……"

It’s over.

Pei Gou has to take the blame again.

Feng Yun looked at Pei Yuan's angry back, shook his head and laughed, then stood up and prepared to go to the bathroom. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and the sun above his head seemed to have split into two.

Was it exposed to the sun for too long?

This weather is neither cold nor hot, which is not right.

She managed to hold onto the table, and A Zuo and A You quickly rushed over, one on each side supporting her.

"Aunt, how are you?"

"Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm going to see the doctor."

"Let's go find the doctor!"

Feng Yun shook her head. She had no idea how ugly her expression was and smiled gently at the two children.

"Aunt is fine, just sit for a while."

Just one chapter today, my darlings...see you tomorrow.
