He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

On the morning of the second day after King Cheng was executed, the emperor appointed Xie Jingyan as the crown prince in front of all the civil and military officials.

As early as when Concubine Chen overturned the verdict, the Emperor wanted to make Xie Jingyan the Crown Prince. Xie Jingyan refused on the grounds that the palace was unsafe and he was worried that if he went to capture Prince Cheng, it would be unsafe to leave Shen Wan and the child in the palace.

Now that King Cheng has been executed, Xie Jingyan's worries no longer exist and he has no reason to refuse the imperial edict.

The appointment of Xie Jingyan as the crown prince was something that all civil and military officials had expected long ago. No one was surprised, but only felt that the emperor had appointed him too late.

Normally, after Xie Jingyan was made the crown prince, he should have moved into the Eastern Palace, but Shen Wan was still in confinement after childbirth, so Xie Jingyan wanted to wait until Shen Wan finished her confinement before moving into the palace.

The emperor agreed to this small request.

However, people do not have to move into the palace for the time being, but memorials still need to be approved.

Then the gentleman returned to his life before going to the border.

Xie Jingyan was appointed as the crown prince, and the princes, royal relatives, and ministers all sent gifts and came to congratulate him.

The whole Yun family was happy for Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan, but when they thought that Shen Wan would soon move into the palace with Xie Jingyan, it would not be as convenient for her to leave the palace in the future. It would be even more difficult for the Yun family to see Shen Wan, as the palace walls were not so easy to enter. They were quite reluctant to let her go when they thought about this.

Old Madam Yun wanted to see her three little grandchildren very much. Shen Wan could still see them in Prince Ling's Mansion, but she didn't know when she would be able to see them again after entering the palace. Old Madam Yun came to the Yun family to see Shen Wan and the three children.

Shen Wan didn't expect that her grandmother, at her age, would come to Prince Ling's mansion to see her and the child. She said, "It's my turn to take the child to see grandpa and grandma."

Madam Yun smiled and said, "The child is young and can't stand the hardship. Grandmother, please come and visit. He will be able to handle it."

It was a rare occasion for Old Madam Yun to come to Prince Ling’s Mansion, and she sat with Shen Wan for quite a while before leaving.

Cheng Yao and Xu Huan also come one after another today and I come tomorrow. Shen Wan’s confinement period is really not boring.

That day, Yan Yue and Yan Qing'er came to see Shen Wan. They were chatting and laughing with Shen Wan when suddenly a bell rang.

I couldn't hear it clearly, but I could hear it vaguely.

This bell is no ordinary bell.

It's the death knell.

The bell can only be rung when the emperor dies, the empress dowager dies, or the queen dies.

This is……

The Queen Mother passed away?

Just as Shen Wan had a guess in her mind, Dong'er came in and said, "Princess, the Queen Mother has passed away..."

It turned out that the Queen Mother had passed away.

The Emperor has already deposed the Empress, and Empress Song is also dead. The Emperor is in his prime, so it is impossible for him to die suddenly. It could only be the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother's health has not been good since the affair between Prince Cheng and Queen Song was exposed. Her condition has not improved even after she moved to the temporary palace. It is not easy for her to hold on until now.

Shen Wan guessed that the Queen Mother must have known that Prince Cheng was executed by the Emperor, and the last bit of hope in her heart was shattered. The Queen Mother became blind, and the mother and son were alienated. She could not bear the blow, and her illness, which she had been holding on to, deteriorated rapidly and she died.

Upon receiving the news of the Empress Dowager's death, it was impossible for the Emperor to feel nothing at all.

The empress dowager moved to the temporary palace, and the emperor let it go. He neither advised nor tried to stop her.

He knew that the Queen Mother wanted to force him to see her by leaving the palace.

The Queen Mother indulged Prince Cheng in doing so many wrong things and even moved him to the palace to force him. The Emperor was already angry enough, so how could he possibly do as the Queen Mother wished?

Now that the Empress Dowager is gone, the Emperor feels a little unhappy.

When the Empress Dowager passed away, she needed to be brought back to the palace for funeral. The Emperor handed the matter over to the Ministry of Rites.

Although the Empress Dowager said that the funeral should be simple, how could the Emperor listen to her? He just had to do what he had to do.

The Minister of Rites led his men to the temporary palace at full speed, and within seven days, the empress dowager's body was brought back to the palace. All the officials kept vigil for the empress dowager.

Shen Wan is still in confinement after giving birth, so naturally she doesn't need to do these things.

Xie Jingyan's vigil for the Empress Dowager was not like the one he had done for Concubine Chen. Xie Jingyan was away for several days in a row, so he only kept vigil for the Empress Dowager for one night.

The day of the Queen Mother's funeral was also the last day of Shen Wan's confinement.

It has to be said that Shen Wan is a blessed person. It is not an easy task to send the empress dowager off for funeral. Many ladies were so tired that they could not even straighten their backs. They envied Shen Wan more and more. She was in confinement when Concubine Chen was buried, and she was still in confinement when the empress dowager was buried.

Xie Jingyan had previously agreed with the emperor that he would move back to the palace after Shen Wan finished her confinement. Now that the empress dowager has passed away, music is banned inside and outside the palace for a hundred days.

Xie Jingyan postponed the matter of moving back to the palace.

The emperor didn't say anything.

After all, the prince moving into the East Palace is a great event, and the court will hold a palace banquet to celebrate.

The emperor had always been filial to the empress dowager, but eventually he became estranged from her because the empress dowager was too partial and protective, which made the emperor so angry. But now that the empress dowager is gone, the emperor cannot do anything that would make people think he is unfilial.

Chen Feng and Chen Yu felt that they were extremely miserable, almost like the prince of Duke Du.

After finally settling the marriage and happily preparing for the wedding, a war broke out at the border and the prince went to the battlefield, and they had to follow him, so the marriage was put on hold.

Now that I have returned to the capital with the prince, I thought I could finally have the wedding and hold a banquet after the princess has finished her confinement. However, the empress dowager passed away, and all music was banned for a hundred days.

Why is it so difficult to get married?

Hundred days.

God knows how hard it is.

The two secret guards Chen Feng and Chen Yu counted the days, and just after a hundred days, they sent the almanac to Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan, asking them to choose an auspicious day.

Shen Wan was also planning to hold their wedding banquet as soon as possible, and it was convenient to do these things in Prince Ling's mansion, as it was not possible to marry off a maid in a high-profile manner in the palace.

The wedding banquet for the two maids was really lively.

Cheng Yao and Xu Huan both gave dowries to Yin Shuang and Hai Tang, and even came to Prince Ling's mansion in person to attend their wedding banquet. Even Eunuch Yuan found out about it and asked Xiao Xizi to send a gift. Eunuch Yuan mentioned it to the emperor, and after the emperor found out, he also gave each of them a gold bracelet.

This kind of respectability is beyond the reach of even the most ordinary ladies from wealthy families.

Although Shen Wan was going to move into the palace, she still followed the previous plan and bought houses near the palace for Yin Shuang, Chen Feng, Hai Tang and Chen Yu. The two maids would follow her into the palace, but after all, they were married and could not be with her all the time. They had to have their own houses outside the palace.

In addition to the three-story house, Shen Wan also prepared two sets of jewelry for each of the two maids, one set of pure gold, and one set of gold inlaid with jade, as well as one thousand taels of gold as a treasure, sixteen pieces of silk, and fifty acres of fertile land.

The dowry is so generous that every maid in Prince Ling’s mansion would be envious.

After the wedding, they started to move into the palace. There were quite a lot of things to move, and it would take a whole day just to move the rewards given by the emperor.

It took seven or eight days to move everything.

The person who was most happy about Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan moving into the East Palace was the emperor, as he could often see his three little grandchildren.

Especially Jin'er, who can walk and speak a few simple words now. The emperor loves her very much.

What makes the emperor most pleased is——

Although Jin'er looks like Shen Jing, her intelligence is exactly the same as Xie Jingyan's when he was a child.

The country was handed over to Xie Jingyan, and then to Jin'er.

He is relieved.
