After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Lu Linchu had just finished arranging the military deployment to the north when he saw Chu Huaixi walking in with a sullen look on his face.

"Who made you unhappy again?"

Looking at Chu Huaixi, he frowned and asked.

Chu Huaixi walked up to him, snuggled into his arms, and said softly, "It's been a long time since I last saw Your Majesty. I miss Your Majesty very much."

Lu Linchu subconsciously pushed her away, deliberately keeping some distance from her, and said solemnly: "Huai Xi, my mother just passed away. I was unfilial for not being able to rush back to attend the funeral. I can't violate the etiquette while I am on the front line now."

After saying this, he immediately ordered You Dian: "Go and prepare the mourning clothes for the sacrifice. From tomorrow on, I will mourn for the Queen Mother."

Seeing You Dian leave, Chu Huaixi felt unhappy. He always felt that His Majesty seemed like a different person after the peace talks with Song Weizhao, and was not willing to get close to him at all.

He didn't usually treat himself like this.

"It is my fault, Your Majesty. Please punish me," she pleaded pitifully.

Looking at her delicate face with skin as white as cream, Lu Linchu couldn't help but sigh: "Huai Xi, I know what you mean."

Holding her in his arms, he said in a deep voice: "After we defeat the Alkh people, I will find a way to bring your family back for you."

Chu Huaixi was very happy in her heart, but she pretended to be worried: "I'm afraid the Queen will be unhappy if she knows. I don't want to cause any rift between Your Majesty and the Queen."

"how come."

Lu Linchu comforted him, "Guiyun has always been kind, so why would he care about this matter? Your family was implicated for no reason back then. The late emperor was just brooding over some old matters, and he had no intention of involving your Chu family."

Chu Huaixi knew that if she wanted to gain power for herself and the Chu family, she had to rely on the deceased. Only by allowing Du Jiuniang to enter the Lu family's ancestral temple with legitimate reasons would she have a chance to succeed.

"Speaking of Sister Du, she also has a hard life."

Chu Huaixi said, "I have no intention of exposing the shortcomings of the late emperor and the empress dowager. Sister Du at least helped the Lu family to expand and gave birth to the eldest son and Princess Yu for Your Majesty. Your Majesty is now the emperor, but it's a pity that she can only be a lonely ghost."

At this point, she couldn't help sobbing softly: "I feel sorry for Sister Du. I'm really afraid that one day I will be like her, and die without even a incense offering to commemorate her."

These words struck directly into Lu Linchu's heart and immediately touched his heart.

Thinking of how Jiu Niang had suffered all kinds of grievances for him, how she was willing to become a concubine in obscurity, and how she had given birth to a pair of children for him, he felt unspeakable pain and sadness in his heart.

Although she was young and frivolous at that time, Jiu Niang was also just a young girl in her prime.

She never asked about his background or his name, but they were willing to be together regardless of everything just because they had such a tacit understanding.

She had given so much for me, but I ended up letting her down. No wonder she acted so rudely in front of my father and mother.

He really had let Jiu Niang down in so many ways.

"Chen'er is the future crown prince, I should give her a title."

Lu Linchu said in a serious tone: "I want Jiu Niang to live in peace in the afterlife."

Thinking of his father and mother, he could only say silently in his heart: "Father, mother, I hope you can understand my difficulties. I really can't bear to see Jiu Niang become a lonely ghost."

Having made up his mind, he immediately instructed the palace servants: "Draft an imperial decree to posthumously confer the title of Empress Duanren on Du Jiuniang and move her spirit tablet to the Lu family ancestral temple, where she will be forever enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

On the day the imperial edict was issued, the generals of the Jiangbei Army came forward one after another to give advice and make suggestions.

The leader was Lu Linxue: "Your Majesty, Du Jiuniang must not be posthumously awarded a posthumous title. This will not put the current empress in a good position. The empress is your majesty's first wife who was married in a formal ceremony."

Even Lu Hui could not tolerate this: "Yes, Your Majesty, although Du Jiuniang is the biological mother of the eldest prince, she is only born out of wedlock after all, and her status is lowly. It is not in accordance with etiquette and law and is not reasonable to confer the title of empress on her posthumously."

Fu Sinian immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please take back your order."

"presumptuous."

Lu Linchu was furious: "How did Jiu Niang become a concubine? Others may not know, but you, Princess Zhaoyang, and Lu Hui are not clear? Since she is Chen'er's biological mother, how can she not bear the posthumous title of Queen?"

"Since the eldest prince and Princess Yu have been adopted by the queen, the current queen should be respected. The current queen is not your majesty's second wife. She is your majesty's first wife who was married in a formal ceremony. How will the queen feel if your majesty posthumously confer a title on a concubine?"

Lu Linxue refuted: "Your Majesty, please take back your order for the sake of the Queen's hard work for Daning and the Lu family for so many years."

Just at this time, Lu Linfeng and Chen Lin also led a group of veterans in.

Lu Linchu was even more furious, and shouted in a stern voice: "I just conferred a posthumous title on you, and you are forcing me like this. Do you still regard me as the ruler of a country? Jiu Niang is just a dead person, what influence does she have on Yu Guiyun?"

"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter."

Lu Linfeng gritted his teeth and advised: "If Du Jiuniang was a woman with a clear background and had made any contributions to Daning and the Lu family, we would not have any complaints. She almost harmed the late emperor and caused the empress dowager to suffer from illness for so many years. Your Majesty, how can you be fair to the late emperor and the empress dowager by enshrining her spirit in the imperial temple?"

"What nonsense is Prince Li saying."

Lu Linchu clenched his fists and made a clattering sound. "The sacrifice is just to give Chen'er and Yu'er hope. How can it be related to the late emperor and the empress dowager? It is said that the final judgment is made after the coffin. Even if she really committed some unspeakable sins, it was only during her lifetime. Why do you want to force a dead person with a miserable life and make her restless in the afterlife?"

The more Lu Linfeng listened, the angrier he became. "It's not that we want to argue with a dead person. I want to ask who on earth has bewitched your majesty. Your majesty has been away from home fighting for many years, and you and the queen have been apart for a long time, making it difficult for the queen to have children. But she has been working hard to manage your majesty's family business and assist in government affairs, so that your majesty has no worries."

"She hasn't even been officially canonized yet, but Your Majesty is eager to confer a concubine. How will she get along with the eldest prince and Princess Yu in the future? When the queen dies a hundred years later, how will the princes pay tribute to her? Who will they respect? The queen treats the eldest prince and Princess Yu as her own children. I'm afraid the eldest prince will not risk the world's disapproval to chill his mother's heart in the future."

Kneeling solemnly, Lu Linfeng said righteously, "Your Majesty, please consider the relationship between husband and wife, and consider the Queen's hard work in managing the Lu family over the years, and withdraw your order."

Lu Linchu was extremely furious at this moment.

He was just conferring a posthumous title on a dead person, but no one agreed. He even brought Guiyun into the conversation. He had never thought of treating Guiyun badly. He would still hold her in his hands and respect her as the queen of a country. But no one understood his painstaking efforts.

He glared at the people kneeling in the tent, then ran out of the tent angrily.
