Resourceful beauty

Chapter 368 Enthroned
"Ben Gong decides on his own, the prince won't blame Ben Gong, will he?"

After finishing speaking, she brought Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan into the main hall of Wanfu Palace. Concubine Han looked at Chu Yuan with some anxiety and said.

Half of the walls with scarlet characters have been repainted, and there is no trace of the past. There are many palace people walking back and forth between the main hall, the inner hall and the warm pavilion, and some are cleaning with copper basins and towels. There are those who carefully carry the antiques and jades to buy and move. In the Wanfu Palace, after more than 20 years, because of so many people, they suddenly became much more angry.

"No, even if the mother concubine didn't order so, Gu would send someone to repaint the Wanfu Palace."

As Chu Yuan spoke softly, Concubine Han breathed a sigh of relief.

Near noon, the Wanfu Palace looked refreshed. Concubine Han pointed to every place and said to Fang Ruxuan, her eyes were full of memories, "Wanfu Palace is the most beautiful palace in the harem except Fengming Palace, but when you enter the main hall, Everywhere was decorated by Concubine Ning in a clean and elegant way. Not to mention that the king likes to come here, even this palace, he often came and went in the first few years. No matter who is like Concubine Ning, I am afraid that I will not hate it. It's a pity that she has become a woman of the Tian family, so if she is favored, she is destined to become a thorn in the side of others."

Most of the other concubines are favored like a flash in the pan, and after a while, it will fade away, so even if someone wants to plot against her, it will gradually pass away when she is not favored, maybe the person who targeted her in everything , but now she can turn an enemy into a friend.

But Concubine Ning is an anomaly in the palace, she does not fight or grab, and her personality is so gentle and elegant, but the king's love for her has always been seen more and more.

Even if Concubine Ning is not favored for ten days and half a month, whenever he sees something new at hand, even if it is just a plate of fresh grapes from the House of Internal Affairs, the king will always ask if there is any delivery from the Wanfu Palace. .

May I ask, how could the other concubines not be jealous of such a generous treatment?

Chu Yuandong and Fang Ruxuan naturally understood this kind of truth, so when Concubine Han Guifei said it, both of them felt proud and sad at the same time. Many kinds of feelings were intertwined. Then they looked at the familiar utensils and decorations. There is even more a sense of loneliness that the past can't bear to look back on.

"Okay, don't even think about it. After all, what happened back then is over. Concubine Ning is in the spirit of the sky. Seeing all this, she will be gratified."

Han Guifei said softly.

Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan nodded in agreement.

When they came out of the Wanfu Palace, the hearts of several people were relieved. Seeing Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan walking slowly with a pair of children, Concubine Han greeted them and went back to the palace on their own.

From the beginning to the end, she never asked a single question, and Chu Yuan's attitude towards her seemed to be indifferent.

Back then, Concubine Han Guifei recognized Chu Yuan as her adopted son, and both of them had an attitude of mutual benefit, but in the past few years, Concubine Han really loved Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan as her own children. After passing away, the Empress Dowager Lou went out of the palace to clean up, and the Queen of Zhou was demoted to a commoner and was not even allowed to be buried in the Emperor's Mausoleum and the Dongling Mausoleum.

"You said, back then, did mother know who framed her?"

Mingzhu was already asleep, Ming Geer was following Mingzhu's wet nurse every step of the way, Fang Ruxuan walked ahead holding Chu Yuan's arm, and asked softly.

Chu Yuan nodded, "My concubine also said that my mother is a very intelligent and penetrating person. Besides, she has a good idea of ​​what kind of person Lu Rufei is in the palace for many years. Entrusting me to Lu Rufei, Lu Rufei has taboos in her heart. , so he didn't dare to treat me badly, so I was safer in the palace. Besides..."

With a slight smile, Chu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the green trees in the distance, "Sending me to Da Yuan may not be Lu Rufei's idea. Otherwise, she would watch me grow up by her side all the time, while she How can she feel at ease when she is the one who framed her mother to leave?"

These were all Fang Ruxuan's guesses early in the morning, and she had verified them from various sources. Although there was no evidence, Lu Rufei was the most suspected of the situation based on the local situation at that time. Therefore, entrusting Chu Yuan to her was also the most certain thing for Concubine Ning thing.

It's just that Lu Rufei probably never thought that after going to Dayuan for more than ten years, Chu Yuan could come back again.

"The nine princesses..."

Fang Ruxuan hesitated for a while and asked.

These days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is busy with Chu Yuan's ascension to the throne, and the wedding of the Ninth Princess seems to have slowed down. Everyone is probably waiting and watching, thinking that Chu Yuan will interfere in this matter.

Chu Yuan smiled disapprovingly and said: "When has the grievance been reported? Lin'er is also my sister. What happened back then has nothing to do with her? Besides, before Concubine Lu Rufei left the Qian'an Palace, her father promised her that she would treat her well." Lin'er, so, at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you should go and say hello, in a few days, these things should have been handled by you."

Fang Ruxuan nodded.

Things in the palace are proceeding in an orderly manner.

The Empress Dowager Lou went out to the palace to meditate, and Queen Zhou and Concubine Lu Ru were demoted to common people and buried separately. Although Concubine Jing was not implicated by King Rui's rebellion, the restraining order was not resolved, and Chu Yuan's attitude was not very clear. After the king passed away, she ate fast and meditated in Chongxi Palace.

For the rest of the people, Concubine Liu Ning has gained peace because of King Xuan's resignation. Now, she is considered to be the most honorable in the harem except Concubine Han. As long as King Xuan is willing, maybe she can go out of the palace to reunite with her son's family in the fiefdom of King Xuan in the future , is also a kind of luck.

Outside the palace, those aristocratic families who were about to move around the New Year's Eve have now settled down, and some of them have already started flattering, collecting all kinds of rare treasures and sending them to the Prince's Garden to show their attitude.

Chu Yuan was noncommittal, and the big stewards in the other courtyard accepted all of them, but their attitudes were ambiguous. For a while, those people felt even more disturbed, wondering if Chu Yuan would take them under the knife after he ascended the throne.

"Xinlan and Luwu, what do you plan to do with them?"

The second day was the sixth day of June, the day when Chu Yuan ascended the throne, and after dinner, Chu Yuan took Fang Ruxuan for a walk in the imperial garden, and asked questions at the same time.

The two held Ming Geer and Ming Zhu hostage that day, although Chu Yuan didn't intervene, but the gloomy expression on his face immediately after knowing the incident represented his fury.

I planned to wait until a series of follow-up events were exposed, and these two people could be presented as witnesses, but King Yao left in a hurry, and Empress Dowager Lou immediately decided to go to Jingxin Nunnery to clean up, and this matter was left alone.

But in Chu Yuan's heart, this matter was always brooding.

"Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, so before that, I don't want anything to go wrong. When everything goes well, I plan to send them to be the company of the Empress Dowager Lou, with the green lamp and ancient Buddha, so that they can spend the rest of their lives well." Make atonement for the wrong things you have done.”

As Fang Ruxuan said, she turned to look at Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan frowned, but finally nodded, "You can arrange it."

There was something in her heart, but she was slightly uneasy. After hesitating for a long time, Fang Ruxuan said softly: "There was a change in the palace that day. I was afraid that you would not know it, so I asked Mu Mian and Concubine Hu to find you in the palace. Later, in order to protect Mu Mian, Concubine Hu Then they got lost in Shangyang City. When the time comes, I will make her a noble concubine, okay?"

Lost, chased...

Chu Yuan's heart paused, as if he already knew what happened.

Smiling and squeezed Fang Ruxuan's hand, Chu Yuan responded, "You are the master of the harem, so you can do whatever you say."

Fang Ruxuan was a little unbelievable that something she had been worrying about was lifted up high and gently put down by Chu Yuan, but Chu Yuan's calmness made Fang Ruxuan feel that the previous self was a little overwhelmed.

Finally letting go of one thing in her heart, and looking up at the crescent moon above her head, Fang Ruxuan only felt an indescribably happy heart.

The breeze was blowing, and the night was blurry. The husband and wife walked hand in hand on the stone path of the Imperial Garden. They felt peaceful and peaceful in their hearts. They didn't feel any abnormal excitement because of the change of identity on the second day, as if it was just an ordinary thing. The ultimate thing.

Back to Xuanyi Hall to rest together, neither of them felt sleepy, so they hugged each other and talked.

From the first meeting in the Dayuan Palace, to the mutually beneficial transactions between the two along the way, to the time when they had engraved each other deeply in their hearts, speaking of it now, it was obviously only a few years of work, the two of them But it seems that they have been walking hand in hand for a lifetime, and their hearts are full of charm.

In the blink of an eye, white belly was already exposed outside the window, and inside the main hall, Gu Dahai, Dingxiang and others were already busy.

After getting up and showering, Fang Ruxuan was sitting in front of the dressing table and making up carefully, Chu Yuan was already dressed.

He wears a golden crown on his head, and a black royal dress with gold trim on his body, and a five-finger golden belt around his waist. On the left side of the belt, he wears a jade pendant with dragon patterns that symbolizes the identity of King Yao.

Today's Fang Ruxuan is dressed in a red queen's formal attire, with a solemn phoenix crown on her head, coupled with the many elaborate and gorgeous phoenix hairpins, her whole person looks extremely noble and eye-catching.

Similarly, on the right side of the belt, there is a phoenix-shaped jade pendant that matches Chu Yuan's jade pendant with dragon patterns.

Their eyes met, and their faces were full of affection. They had gone through a lot, and they finally came to this day.

The auspicious time was approaching, and solemn bells sounded in the tower of the palace.

Inside the Yiyuan Hall, civil and military officials lined up on both sides, all with dignified faces.

Accompanied by the solemn music, Chu Yuan stepped into the main hall slowly, stepping on the jade steps step by step to the golden throne at the top.

When Chu Yuan was seated, all the officials knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live the king, long live the king, long live the king, long live the king."

"Everyone is flat..."

Chu Yuan's steady voice echoed in the hall.

After accepting the worship of civil and military officials, Chu Yuan led everyone to the Fengxian Hall to worship their ancestors. At the same time, the imperial edicts of rewards were sent out one after another from the imperial study room.
