After Emperor Ji Wu was buried, these matters were completely resolved.

Next is the ceremony of King Xiaoyao’s enthronement.

Royal study room.

King Xiaoyao changed his excuse from the previous few days and asked someone to summon the Minister of Rites to come for an audience. He then instructed the Minister of Rites that the coronation ceremony must be conducted in accordance with regulations.

Minister of Rites: “…”

During the funeral of Emperor Ji Wu a few days ago, it was said that we should save money and keep everything simple.

How come it's your turn, you just...

King Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and glanced at him coldly, "Why, do you have any objections?"

"Uh, no, no!" The Minister of Rites shook his head like a rattle.

Who dares to have that?

"Alright, alright, get out of here! I want to go to my mother's bedroom for dinner!"

"Yes, King Xiaoyao." The Minister of Rites immediately walked away quickly, as if a tiger was chasing him.

King Xiaoyao was very upset when he saw the memorials piled up in front of him that were half his body high. He stood up, stretched, and cursed angrily, "What kind of shitty emperor is this? I'm so tired! I haven't even taken the throne yet, and I have to deal with a lot of shit!

It’s all Ah Ci’s fault. He didn’t want to be the one, but insisted that I be the one! Aren’t you trying to tire me to death?”

King Xiaoyao cursed and cursed, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. Suddenly, he smiled like an old fox.

He walked to the palace where Princess Xiaoyao and the young prince were temporarily staying. He immediately saw his princess, who was born a military commander, looking sad, with her head drooped and her face wrinkled like a bitter gourd.

Prince Xiaoyao knew what was bothering his princess. He stepped forward and asked, "Aye, what do you think of the palace?"

Princess Xiaoyao had a tearful face and shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, not at all. You can't do this, you can't do that, even when you sit you have to sit upright all the time! Our Xiaoyao Palace is still the best, I'm beginning to miss the days when you and I took our son out to travel around the mountains and rivers!"

"I also think it's not easy to be the emperor. There are so many memorials to review that I am almost dying of exhaustion."

The two held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, so pitiful.

Prince Xiaoyao leaned close to Princess Xiaoyao's ear and whispered a few words, then left her ear and asked, "Aye, what do you think?"

Princess Xiaoyao's eyes immediately lit up, and a smile spread across her face, "Will this work?"

King Xiaoyao nodded, "Of course I can!"

"That's great, hehehe, after we finish dinner we will..."

The couple smiled cunningly, like weasels stealing chickens.

Cixi Palace.

Fu Yanci and Feng Jiuyan were already sitting at the table with the Queen Mother, waiting for King Xiaoyao and his family of three.

After a while, King Xiaoyao came over with his wife and children.

The three of them bowed to the Queen Mother, who smiled from ear to ear, "Haha, no need to be polite. Although Aci's mother is far away in Youzhou and cannot have dinner with us, this dinner can be regarded as a reunion dinner for our family. This is something an old woman like me has been looking forward to for a long time, and I never thought that it would come true one day."

As she spoke, the empress dowager's eyes immediately turned red and tears flashed in her eyes.

"Grandmother, please don't cry. Your grandson loves you." King Xiaoyao's son Abao turned sideways and gently wiped the tears from the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes.

"Yes, mother, don't cry. Today is a happy day." King Xiaoyao comforted.

"Mother, Ah Ci is back now, this should be a happy day. Our family has waited so long for this day of reunion, we should be happy."

"Okay, okay, don't cry, mother. Come, have your meal quickly."

During the dinner, everyone was in harmony, talking and laughing, just like ordinary people living a normal day.

After dinner, everyone gathered together to drink tea and chat.

King Xiaoyao asked casually, "Aci, are you really unwilling to inherit the throne?" There was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Fu Yanci saw through King Xiaoyao's thoughts at a glance, and said seriously, "No, the emperor's uncle is more talented than Aci, and he should not be buried. Aci believes that after the emperor's uncle succeeds to the throne, he will allow the people to live a peaceful and prosperous life.

What's more, Aci has become accustomed to life in Youzhou City and is not used to life in the capital.

This is the Black Feather Order, please keep it, uncle."

As he spoke, Fu Yanci took out the Black Feather Order from his bosom and placed it in front of King Xiaoyao, completely thwarting King Xiaoyao's plan to persuade him to become emperor.

King Xiaoyao was a little disappointed and reluctantly put away the Black Feather Order. However, thinking of his plan, he looked at Fu Yanci meaningfully.

Fu Yanci was surprised, "Why is the emperor's uncle staring at his nephew like this? It's a bit creepy."

"Haha, A Ci is really humorous." King Xiaoyao laughed and quickly adjusted his expression.

When the group was done playing, Prince Xiaoyao left Cixi's palace with his wife and children.

Before leaving, King Xiaoyao looked at Fu Yanci meaningfully and said, "Ah Ci, Dayan depends on you."

Without waiting for Fu Yanci to speak, King Xiaoyao and his wife left quickly.

Feng Jiuyan looked at the back of King Xiaoyao as he left and said, "Aci, don't you think King Xiaoyao is a little abnormal?"

"Yes, it is indeed a little unusual. But it doesn't matter. After he ascends the throne in three days and exonerates your father, we will immediately take the Royal Grandmother back to Youzhou. Who cares if it is strange or not."

Feng Jiuyan felt that what Fu Yanci said made sense, "Ah Ci, you are right. Yawn~ I am sleepy, I want to go back to sleep."

Fu Yanci sent Feng Jiuyan back to the side hall, spent some time with her, and then returned to the side hall where he lived.

The next morning, Feng Jiuyan was awakened by a loud noise.

"What happened outside? Why is it so noisy and disturbing my sleep?" Feng Jiuyan looked grumpy as he woke up. He sat up hugging the quilt and said dissatisfiedly.

The palace maid Xiao Cui who served her ran in hurriedly, looking panicked.

"Xiao Cui, what happened outside? Why are you so panicked?" Feng Jiuyan asked curiously.

"My dear, something terrible has happened. Prince Xiaoyao and Princess Xiaoyao have run away with the young prince!"

"What!" Feng Jiuyan sat up in shock, and the sleepiness was scared away. "Xiao Cui, help me wash up."

"Yes, Miss Feng."

After Feng Jiuyan washed and changed her clothes, she hurriedly trotted to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

She saw Fu Yanci sitting at the tea table. His face was a little pale, and he held a letter and a token in his hand. The token was exactly the token that Fu Yanci gave to King Xiaoyao last night.

The Queen Mother sat opposite him, stroking her temple and sighing continuously.

Feng Jiuyan's heart skipped a beat, and his guess came out of his mouth, "What's wrong? What happened? Could it be that King Xiaoyao ran away with his wife and children and no longer wanted to be the emperor?"

Fu Yanci raised his eyes and looked at Feng Jiuyan, frowning tightly, looking at Feng Jiuyan with tears in his eyes, and said helplessly, "Ayan, you guessed right~"
