Playful Queen

Chapter 26

"Your Majesty, the time has come."

"Then let's get started!"

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Eunuch Hai, turned around and shouted in a shrill voice: "The ceremony has begun! Bless the incense, thank God!"

Yun Xi and Meng Li marked yellow incense one by one, bowed their faces to the sky, walked in front of the Wentian Cauldron, inserted the mysterious incense, and after a series of cumbersome rituals, Eunuch Hai, with the emperor's nod, respectfully handed down the imperial decree He took it out: "Xia Yunxi, the daughter of General Feng Xia Xun, the first-rank concubine Yun, bestowed on the head of the East Palace, Ningyun Palace."

Sure enough, it was the head of the Eastern Palace, which was completely within everyone's expectations.

"Yun Xi thanked the emperor." Yun Xi thanked the emperor excitedly.

Eunuch Hai picked up the second imperial decree, cleared his throat, "Feng Shen Mengli, the daughter of Prime Minister Shen..."

"Wait a minute!" The queen mother suddenly said, interrupting Eunuch Hai's words, and waved her jeweled hand, looking a little graceful and luxurious.

Zi Yechen looked at the queen mother, seeing her solemn expression, asked puzzledly: "I don't know what's the matter with the queen mother?"

The queen mother sighed, and looked at her son, "This matter is important, I hope the emperor understands." After finishing speaking, her face became serious in an instant, she raised her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Little Fuzi, I understand the emperor's last edict. Bar."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Ziwei Square was shocked. The last emperor's edict?All the people immediately knelt down and said in unison: "Long live the late emperor..."

"My son accepts the imperial edict from my father." Zi Yechen tossed off his robe, knelt down to receive the edict, wondering why there would be an edict to accept the imperial concubine?
Eunuch Fu walked out slowly holding a bright yellow brocade box in his hand, opened the brocade box in front of everyone, took out an old bright yellow imperial decree from the brocade box, and read it loudly in front of everyone, the sound resounded through the sky : "By heaven, the emperor ordered that Shen Mengli, the daughter of Prime Minister Shen, who has reached the age of seventeen, must live in Fengyi Palace when she enters the palace.

The chief eunuch finished reading the edict, bowed respectfully, looked at the emperor, and said tremblingly: "Please rise up, your majesty, this servant has already read the edict."

Zi Yechen stared at the edict angrily, wishing to tear it up, but after a closer look, it was indeed the handwriting of his father. Why did the former emperor leave such a will to make the arrogant and dandy woman a queen?
Zi Moyu's astonishment was not less than Ziyechen's. She thought that Mengli's ability to enter the palace and become a concubine was already the limit, but she didn't expect that now with the late emperor's edict, she would be the empress when she entered the palace, the head of the harem I thought that the empress mother meant that she wanted to fulfill Mengli on her birthday, so she said those words, and it turned out to be the late emperor's last wish!
The queen's position should be Xia Yunxi!I thought that after entering the palace, she would take that unique position step by step, how could this be the case!The hand in the cuff clenched into a fist angrily, she couldn't believe the facts she heard at this moment, how could it be...

Eunuch Fu has already held the will in front of Mengli, and bowed respectfully: "My servant congratulates the empress, please accept the edict."

Mengli raised her head and looked at Xie En's audience, only to feel jealous and shocked eyes shooting at her like dark arrows, fortunately it was just eyes, otherwise it would definitely be riddled with holes.

"Empress, please accept the edict." Eunuch Fu reminded again in a low voice, signaling to accept the edict quickly.

Only then did Mengli come back from her thoughts, stretched out her hand and slowly took the imperial decree, while being surprised, she secretly complained in her heart that when the emperor came, it was not good to be a queen to whom, so she had to give it to her?If you still have to read it like this, isn't it obvious that she will be resented by those harem women?
The empress dowager got up, walked forward, stretched out her hand to help Mengli up, and said with a smile: "Li'er, I would like to obey the emperor's last edict, and be competent as the master of the harem, and the mother of the world. From now on, the Ai family will hand over the affairs of the harem." Here you go."

Mengli lowered her head, muttering to herself, she is still the mother of the world, she doesn't want to be a queen at all, and she is already very reluctant to accept the order to enter the palace as a concubine, but now she is the head of the harem?In a world with many women, there are naturally many intrigues, so wouldn't it be exhausting?It was not for nothing that she had watched the Golden Branch Desire so many times, so she didn't want to get involved in this kind of boring and unprofitable gossip.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your great love. I'm afraid Mengli will not be able to take on this important task. Please think twice and take back the will!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the woman in front of them. This dandy is insane. Before, she tried her best to chase the emperor, but now she refuses one after another.That is the most precious woman in the world, a position that many people dream of.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Mengli in confusion, her face was a little displeased, and finally she said slowly: "How can this late emperor's edict be changed?"

Zi Yechen's eyes on the dragon seat were already burning with anger, and his hands under his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. He really wanted to tear up the will, but when he heard what this woman said, he was even more angry and wanted to Strangling her to death, this woman has been ignorant over and over again, and wants to make him lose face?

Shen Mengli, you damn woman!He just wants to leave her in the palace and torture you slowly!

Thinking of this, his lips parted slightly, and he said coldly: "Since it was the last emperor who issued the will, I formally confer the daughter of Prime Minister Shen Yanlang, and Shen Mengli is the queen of the Jin Dynasty, and bestowed on Fengyi Palace."

As soon as the emperor's words fell, everyone was astonished, and Meng Li was even more shocked. She raised her head and looked at Zi Yechen in disbelief. As long as he disagreed with her, she could not be a queen, but he...he didn't Could it be convulsions of anger?
Zi Yechen frowned, with Ling Han on his lips, glaring at his empress angrily, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I don't know if the empress is satisfied?"

The queen mother didn't speak, her face was ecstatic, and there was a sly smile on her mouth. Although her son was smart, he was still a little tender to her queen mother, but after that Li'er's life is going to be hard.

Mengli, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the pair of mother and son who were fighting each other, and she always had the urge to break out in a cold sweat. There was really no need to do this for an outsider like her. It seems that this queen mother aunt is determined to do this for the honor of the Shen family. She said a lot of good things for herself in front of the former emperor, which enabled her to become a queen...

It's a pity that she really doesn't want this position where she has to test with silver needles even for meals, "The Queen Mother..."

A trace of Ling Han flashed across the star's eyes, and he raised his head coldly, and said meaningfully to Meng Li: "Why, why don't you thank the decree soon, do you want to resist the decree?"

Mengli met his angry face, and could see the anger and unwillingness in his heart, hmph, it's best to die of anger!Don't think that she is so easy to bully, since this matter can't be changed, then she can only take it first, and take every step as she sees it. "Thank you, Master Lon, Mengli."
