Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

eighteenth day of the first lunar month

In order not to delay the new emperor's coronation ceremony, the Ministry of Rites discussed with Leng Yu and decided that the burial date of the Supreme Emperor would be three days later, on the twentieth day of the first lunar month.

Last night, Leng Yu and Luo Lan proposed to keep vigil for the Supreme Emperor, but Liu Xi persuaded them to come back.

Today is a very important day. They must keep civil strife at bay and prevent foreign enemies from invading. The two of them must keep their spirits up.

So, last night, Leng Yu stayed in the Yangxin Palace, and Luo Lan stayed in the Fengyi Palace.

On the first night they entered the palace, they slept in separate rooms.

The auspicious time was set at four o'clock in the morning. When she got up in the morning, the nuns from the palace would come to dress Luo Lan.

Looking at the luxurious phoenix clothes embroidered with gold and silver threads and the phoenix crown inlaid with phoenix beads, Luo Lan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

In the past, she might have been very happy, but it was different now. She felt particularly depressed.

The coffin of the Supreme Emperor was still placed in the longevity hall. Leng Yu and she were vomiting. They didn't know where Huaiyu was. People from Beihai Kingdom would make big moves today.

Each one of these things made her feel irritated.

At this time, Ah Hong walked in from the outside with a solemn face.

"Empress, the Emperor said that after you freshen up and dress up, you should accompany him to the 3rd 9th Longevity Palace. First, offer incense to the Supreme Emperor, and then go to the main hall."

"I see."

"A Hong, is there any news outside the palace?"

Ah Hong nodded,

"Yes, last night, His Majesty the Duke led people to storm the Qingfeng Inn. After interrogation all night, most of them admitted that they were Beihai people, and they also confessed that they had sneaked into the capital a long time ago. , waiting for today to cooperate with the people outside the city, and rush into the palace..."

hiss!

Luo Lan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

She suddenly felt that if Huaiyu hadn't informed them in advance that the Beihai people in the Qingfeng Inn were in turmoil in the city, even if Leng Yu had made preparations in advance, he would have been in a hurry. Thinking about such a scene, she felt terrible.

"Well, continue to send people to investigate the situation outside the palace. Even if these people are arrested, the people of Beihai Kingdom will not give up."

"Yes, the servant will go here."

After Ah Hong accepted the order, he quickly retreated.

Ah Cai brought her a plate of snacks and said softly:

"My Lady, please eat something first. There will be many ceremonies later and it will take a long time. It is inevitable that you will be hungry."

Luo Lan didn't feel hungry at all, and with so many things to do, he couldn't be in the mood to eat.

"My Lady, tell me, is Huang Yun really the princess of Beihai Kingdom? She has been staying in our Prince Yu's Mansion for five years, and we just didn't find out. She is really a thief."

"What does this mean? She can still run away under our noses. I think it's not that she is a thief, but that we are not careful enough in our work and let her take advantage of the loophole."

"But there was too much chaos in Prince Tianxi's Mansion. She took advantage of the chaos to escape. This doesn't mean that we are not careful enough! There is just one thing that I don't understand. Is there any collusion between Lengxi and the people of Beihai Kingdom? There is collusion. Well, he shouldn't have locked up Huang Yun, but if there was no collusion, it doesn't seem to make sense?"

"Okay A Cai, this is not your concern. You talked a bit too much today."

As she spoke, she glanced through the bronze mirror at the two nuns who were carefully playing with her hair accessories. A Cai suddenly realized that she shouldn't discuss these things in front of outsiders, at least not yet. Are the two nannies available?

She hurriedly shrugged her shoulders, not daring to say anything more.

At the beginning of the hour, Leng Yu and Luo Lan dressed up and came to the coffin of the Supreme Emperor to offer him incense.

Leng Yu put on this ginger-yellow emperor's uniform, with a majestic face, sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a face like a crown jade, like a prince who walked out of fairyland.

When Luo Lan put on this phoenix crown and Xia Pei, she looked more dignified and majestic. She had a domineering feeling. Even compared to the fairies in the sky, she was not inferior in the slightest.

On the way back to the main hall, Leng Yu glanced at Luo Lan and said coldly,

"You look beautiful today, and this dress suits you perfectly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."

Her polite treatment made him stunned for a moment, but he then nodded and walked forward with long strides, immediately distancing himself from her.

Luo Lan knew that she was still angry with him, so she sighed softly and quickly followed his footsteps.

……

The auspicious moment has arrived. In the main hall, Liu Xi held up the imperial edict and read out with a solemn face:

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor issued an edict, saying:

The late emperor suddenly passed away and returned to the Five Elements. I inherited the late emperor's edict, ascended the throne as emperor, and inherited the throne. I will take the world as my own responsibility and put talents first.

Liu Luolan, Liu Dechang's eldest daughter, is a virtuous and virtuous woman who abides by women's ethics and manages her family well. I am now specially conferring her the title of queen. After inheriting from me, we will jointly rule the world and make all people live and work in peace and contentment.

The legitimate son, Leng Tengfei, has a beautiful natural talent and a brilliant appearance. I hereby strictly comply with the order of the Supreme Emperor, confer a book of treasures, and establish him as the crown prince. He will be in the East Palace, with a ten thousand-year lineage, and the heart of the four seas.

Today I have ascended the throne, and I should rejoice with all the people. I have made a special decree to celebrate with the whole world and offer amnesty to the whole world. I hereby announce it to the world. All the envoys will know it and appreciate it! "

"Your Majesty, may you be blessed with peace and prosperity. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please honor the world and pray for good weather in Daning Kingdom."

Leng Yu sat on the high dragon chair, accepting the worship of hundreds of officials, with a serious face that made people dare not look directly at him.

Luo Lan sat next to him, with a rare majesty in his beautiful face.

These people include Leng Xi and Leng Ming.

"Dear ministers, I have ascended the throne as emperor today. From now on, the people's affairs will be no small matter. From today on, the voices of the people complaining are not allowed to happen. No matter what happens, no concealment or underreporting is allowed to happen. Within three days , I will guard the lattice for my father and will not go to court. After my father is buried, I will organize the court affairs and give rewards and punishments. Please respect yourself."

These words undoubtedly frightened the ministers.

After so many years as an official, who can guarantee that he has not committed any corruption or bribery?

There are three things a new official needs to do when he takes office. When the new emperor takes office, can't he develop a sharp eye?

"I respectfully abide by the Emperor's teachings."

As soon as the ministers' voices fell, Zhang Yuan hurried in,

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have just returned from the city gate, and the people from Beihai Kingdom are already approaching the city."

Leng Yu's face showed neither surprise nor joy, and he nodded calmly,

"How many people came?"

"There were about a few hundred people who entered the city and infiltrated among the people. Most of them were stopped by our people outside the city. However, they kept shouting outside the city, saying that they asked you to go out and fight in person."

Leng Yu frowned in confusion,

"They're quite aggressive. Keep observing. I'll be there soon."

"Yes, by the way, the Duke of Guo arrested the people from Qingfeng Inn last night. After interrogation, it was found that these people are all from Beihai Kingdom. They were the plan of Beihai Kingdom to sneak into Daning Kingdom in advance. They were originally planning to cooperate with people from outside. We don’t want to be taken advantage of by the Duke of Guo. This time, if the Duke of Guo hadn’t taken action in time, it would have been really difficult for us to deal with it.”

Hearing this, Leng Yu looked at Liu Dechang in surprise,

"Your Excellency, you have made great achievements in protecting the country this time. When you come back, I will reward you well."

Liu Dechang took two steps forward, bowed and clasped his fists, saying:

"Your Majesty, I originally wanted to report to you later. In fact, the Queen Mother ordered me to do this."

Leng Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and he suddenly thought of the eight characters that Luo Lan showed him. What was mentioned there was Qingfeng Inn.

Could it be that he was really unjustly accused of conceiving jade?

However, it is inconvenient to say more about this matter above the main hall. .gonЬ

He nodded immediately,

"Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded by me. The people of Beihai Kingdom want me to go out to fight in person. I have no reason to sit idly by. If anyone comes, please place them at the gate of the city. Ministers, please come with me."
