Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight
Chapter 203: The Cold and Noble Prince (57)
After Xiao Shixu passed away, although Cui Jingyu was "heartbroken", she still insisted on organizing his funeral personally. Overnight, the deep love between the emperor and the empress became widely known among the people.
Because Xiao Shixu died suddenly and the "baby" in Cui Jingyu's belly had not yet been born, all the ministers were confused for a while and there was a tendency for them to be leaderless.
Emperor Cheng'an had three sons in his life, but some of them died or were disabled. For a while, no one could sit on the throne of emperor. Someone suggested letting Cui Jingyu adopt a descendant of the Xiao family's side branch.
At this time, the empress dowager, who had been ill for a long time, reappeared. Holding a bright yellow imperial edict in her hand, she made the final decision on the vacant throne.
The Queen Mother was wearing gorgeous clothes, and Cui Jingyu was standing beside her. The Queen Mother read the contents of the imperial edict: "The throne will be passed to the Queen's son, and the Queen will temporarily handle government affairs."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar below. Some people questioned the authenticity of the imperial edict. After all, the child had not yet been born, and it was unknown whether it was a boy or a girl. The Queen had been in charge of government affairs during the years when he was growing up. This was tantamount to passing the throne to the Queen.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly upon hearing this and shouted, "I have lived through three dynasties and fought together with my ancestors to conquer the world. How can I treat such an important matter lightly?"
The Queen Mother's words were still very authoritative. Once she said this, no one present dared to object. From then on, Cui Jingyu became the ruler of this dynasty.
After the court session, Cui Jingyu followed the empress dowager all the way to the Cining Palace. She knelt down as soon as she entered the hall. The empress dowager did not help her up when she saw this. Cui Jingyu kowtowed firmly on the ground and said in a solemn voice, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your support."
There were only the two of them in the hall. Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother snorted coldly and said to Cui Jingyu lying on the ground, "You are so brave. I underestimated you."
Upon hearing this, Cui Jingyu lowered her head even more, and she answered seriously, "I, your granddaughter-in-law, know that I have committed a heinous crime. Without the help of the Empress Dowager, I would have suffered a lot."
The Queen Mother looked at the strong woman kneeling on the ground, sighed and said, "Forget it, you can get up." Hearing this, Cui Jingyu raised her head. The Queen Mother looked at her and said, "I have two requests."
The Queen Mother looked directly into Cui Jingyu's eyes and said word by word, "First, since you sit on the throne, you must work hard to work for the welfare of the people of the world. Don't let my Xiao family's foundation be destroyed in your hands."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Jingyu immediately swore, "Cui Jingyu swears on behalf of my entire Cui family that if I let down the people of the world, my entire Cui family will suffer a devastating disaster."
The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this. When she came to her senses, sadness filled her eyes. She said to Cui Jingyu, "My second request is that you keep them alive."
The King of Qi was retaliated by the jailer and suffered inhuman torture. He had gone mad at this time. The King of Heng was also tortured by Xiao Shixu and became neither human nor ghost.
Cui Jingyu immediately assured her, "This is natural." Hearing her words, the Queen Mother nodded and waved her hand for her to leave.
Cui Jingyu walked out of the hall and looked at the blue sky, which was cloudless. The sun had risen. Spring had arrived and all things were about to revive. She had succeeded.
Cui Jingyu did not forget the Queen Mother's words. She restored Prince Heng and Prince Qi to the throne and kept them in honor in her mansion. This news was praised by the people.
A new official has three things to do when he takes office. With the Cui family as civil officials and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion as military generals, Cui Jingyu is really good at doing things.
Naturally, some people were dissatisfied with a woman handling state affairs. Even though Cui Jingyu had made some achievements before, there were still people who opposed it at this time. Cui Jingyu always treated such stubborn people coldly.
I agreed to your resignation and found someone to fill your position the next day. You shirked your responsibilities and refused to handle the affairs, so I found someone to take your place, undermine your power, and turn you into a truly idle official.
After her actions, the voices of opposition gradually subsided. In the second month of Cui Jingyu's handling of state affairs, the emperor was "born".
As soon as she came out of confinement, Cui Jingyu had no more restrictions and started to do things in a big way. Don't like her style? Then you just have to put up with it, after all, she never tolerates anyone's temper.
When things were almost settled, the matter of Emperor Cheng'an granting marriage was put on the agenda.
After Cui Jingyu returned from the Cining Palace, she saw Jiang Rou in the room. She was gently teasing the little emperor. When she saw her come back, she smiled and called her "Sister".
Cui Jingyu forced a smile at her with difficulty. Jiang Rou didn't notice that something was wrong with her and said to Cui Jingyu, "Sister, look at him, he's so cute."
Looking at her lively expression, Cui Jingyu's expression eased a little. It was obvious that Jiang Rou loved children very much. She had come to see the little emperor often since he was born.
Thinking about the Queen Mother's words, Cui Jingyu asked, "Does Arou want to marry Ji Huaian?" She regretted it as soon as she asked, but there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart. However, when she saw Jiang Rou nodded without hesitation, the hope was completely shattered.
Cui Jingyu thought about what was about to happen, feeling sad in her heart but not showing it on her face. After Jiang Rou was shy and saw that she didn't say anything, she took the initiative to go into her arms and said, "Sister, don't worry about me. Huai'an treats me very well and I like him too."
Jiang Rou just thought that Cui Jingyu was worried about her. Upon hearing this, Cui Jingyu hugged Jiang Rou and said "OK" with difficulty after a long time.
On the second day, Cui Jingyu issued an edict, recognizing Jiang Rou as her sister and naming her Princess Fukang. Soon she married Ji Huaian, who had become a Duke.
The happiest place when the imperial edict came out was the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. After receiving the paper, they started to prepare for the wedding in a lively manner. When the others heard the news, those who should have given up had already given up.
If there was anyone who was most painful after hearing this decree, it would be the mother and daughter of the Shen family. They had originally wanted to use their status to marry into the family to suppress Jiang Rou, but now their hope was completely gone. Not only was there no hope, but they would have to live under the control of others in the future.
Naturally, no matter what other people did, they could not influence Ji Huaian and Jiang Rou. Since the decree was issued, Jiang Rou was brought to the palace. Ji Huaian, who had not seen Jiang Rou for a long time, had reason to suspect that Cui Jingyu deliberately stopped him.
When the first cicada chirped, the wedding of Jiang Rou and Ji Huaian began. The streets along the way turned red that day. The entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion was eye-catching red, and guests came and went in an endless stream.
Jiang Rou was going out in the palace, so the palace was also full of red. Jiang Rou was sitting in front of the mirror in her wedding dress, looking at the peerless beauty in the mirror.
The wedding dress was very elaborate. Cui Jingyu ordered dozens of maids from Chuxiu Pavilion to sew it in half a year. When it was worn by Jiang Rou, it was like the icing on the cake.
Cui Jingyu bent down and held Jiang Rou's shoulders and looked at her in the mirror. After a long time, she whispered, "Arou, you are so beautiful today." Jiang Rou's rouge-coated face turned even redder when she heard that.
Cui Jingyu suppressed the turmoil in her heart, turned around, took the red veil from the maid's tray, and said to Jiang Rou with a smile, "The auspicious time has come, I will cover Arou with the veil."
Jiang Rou nodded slightly with red eyes. As the veil fell, only red remained in Jiang Rou's eyes. Cui Jingyu had been beside her, chattering a lot.
The music didn't stop until it started. After a while, Jiang Rou saw a big hand with distinct joints appear under the veil, and a familiar voice sounded, "Arou, I'm here to pick you up."
Jiang Rou placed her hand in the big palm. She didn't have a brother to carry her out of the wedding. It was Ji Huaian who carried her into the bridal sedan. Before leaving, Jiang Rou heard Cui Jingyu say to Ji Huaian, "Treat her well, or I will take her back."
The sedan chair swayed out of the palace. The city was covered in red wedding gowns that eclipsed all the flowers. Jiang Rou sat in the sedan chair in a bright red wedding dress, listening to the music outside. Wherever she went, she was rewarded with money, and the people gave her blessings.
After the wedding ceremony, Jiang Rou was sent to the bridal chamber. She bent her waist as if to relax after everyone had left. The veil covered her head so that she could not see the surroundings, but all she saw was red.
Because of Ji Huaian's instructions, Jiang Rou took off her hair crown, ate something, and then sat on the bed waiting for Ji Huaian.
Ji Huaian reeked of alcohol when he came back, but his eyes were still clear and he was smiling the moment he saw Jiang Rou.
He looked down at Jiang Rou lying on the bed, and said in a voice so soft that it could drip water, "Arou, we are married."
When Jiang Rou heard his words and saw his silly look, she nodded. After getting her reply, Ji Huaian held her shoulders and sat on the edge of the bed, looking into Jiang Rou's eyes and said, "Arou, you look so beautiful today."
Jiang Rou blushed when she heard that. Seeing her like this, Ji Huaian's eyes became even deeper. His voice unconsciously became hoarse, and he said to Jiang Rou, "Madam, it's getting late, let's rest."
The red tent falls, the candles light
The clouds and rain are urgent, the lotus branches are weak, the wind stops and the waves calm, she lies on the cotton. She breathes heavily, her voice is tender, and the lotus is soft and sinks to her waist.
