As the night grew deeper, Xie Mochen knew he should go back.

He stood up and said to Bai Qianqian, "Qianqian, it's time for me to go back home. You should have a good rest."

Bai Qianqian smiled and nodded, then sent him to the door and watched Xie Mochen get on the carriage before turning around and returning home.

On October 15th, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the entire capital was shrouded in a solemn and festive atmosphere.

In the early morning, the sunlight shines on the glazed tiles of the palace, making them sparkle brightly.

Inside and outside the palace, guards dressed in neat armor stood guard with solemn expressions.

The palace maids and eunuchs were busy moving around, making final preparations for the upcoming ceremony.

As time went by, civil and military officials dressed in court robes came to the palace one after another.

Their faces were filled with solemnity and anticipation as they sat down in their designated seats.

Crown Prince Xie Jingyu, dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe and wearing a crown, walked slowly towards the throne surrounded by the crowd.

His eyes were firm and confident, and he exuded the aura of a king.

Crown Princess Bai Jinyan was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, and she followed Xie Jingyu with great grace.

There was a faint smile on her face and her eyes were full of joy and pride.

Concubine Liu and Concubine Liu, dressed in imperial concubine's attire, followed closely behind.

Their faces were also filled with joy, but there was a hint of complexity in their eyes.

The other concubines were called guest concubines. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and followed behind in order.

Their faces were full of respect and anticipation, but their eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and unwillingness.

When Xie Jingyu ascended the throne and Bai Jinyan sat on the queen's throne beside him, the entire hall fell silent in an instant.

Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted long live the emperor.

Xie Jingyu raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand up.

His voice was steady and powerful. "Today, I ascend the throne as emperor. I will govern the country diligently and benefit the people."

Everyone knelt down again and shouted long live.

Afterwards, Xie Jingyu began to confer titles on everyone.

He named the Crown Princess Bai Jinyan as the Queen, Concubine Liu and Concubine Liu as Imperial Concubines, and the other concubines as Guest Concubines.

All the civil and military officials in the court were delighted and took their seats one after another.

They looked at the new emperor and queen, their hearts full of anticipation.

King Dust Xie Mochen was sitting next to him with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a complicated look.

He looked at the new emperor and empress who were high above him, feeling filled with emotion.

Listening to the ministers' congratulations to the Left Prime Minister Bai Qingsong, Xie Mochen smiled faintly.

He knew that as the queen's father, Bai Qingsong's status would be even more respected in the future.

The ceremony lasted for a long time, during which various rituals and activities were carried out.

Finally, the new emperor announced the end of the ceremony and everyone dispersed.

Xie Mochen walked out of the palace with a smile on his face.

Now that the prince has ascended the throne, he can finally rest assured.

However, as soon as he got on the carriage, he froze.

Looking at the retired emperor and Eunuch Li sitting in the carriage, I felt numb.

"Father, you should be in the palace right now!"

The Emperor Emeritus glanced at him and said unhappily, "The throne has been passed to the Crown Prince. Why should I stay in the palace? If you abdicate, you must abdicate cleanly."

He doesn't want to create another father-son feud.

Prince Chen looked at his father with a headache, his eyes full of helplessness, "But you are leaving the palace just like that? Does my brother know? You are not in a hurry to go back to Guanzhou?"

The emperor glanced at Xie Mochen and his eyes spoke volumes.

Xie Mochen felt even more troubled because he had guessed correctly.

But he promised Bai Qianqian that he would not return to Guanzhou.

Moreover, my younger brother had asked about this before.

And I don't want him to go back to Guanzhou.

It is said that with him in the court, the new emperor can feel much more at ease.

Therefore, Xie Mochen did not plan to return to Guanzhou.

There is no war anywhere.

"Your sixth brother has told me that you will not return to Guanzhou, so send someone to send me back to Guanzhou." The emperor was not polite at all.

Xie Mochen had a headache on his face, "How about you wait a few more days?"

"That's fine. Anyway, I will live in your house and will not go back to the palace." The emperor said this with confidence.

Eunuch Li beside him was worried that King Chen would throw the person out in a fit of rage.

On the next morning at the court session, a minister suggested filling the harem.

In response to this, the new emperor looked very unhappy and even got angry.

"Let me fill my harem. Think carefully. I can leave it alone for three to five years. Can your daughters bear it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone in the court knelt on the ground and shouted that the emperor should not do this.

But Xie Jingyu is not the kind of person who would read other people's faces.

He even said that he would not participate in the selection of concubines before the prince was five years old.

All the civil and military officials in the court were dumbfounded.

Some were even bolder and cried out, "Your Majesty's bloodline is important. I am willing to die. I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards the pillar.

The right prime minister was standing nearby and reached out to grab the man.

The minister's face turned red and he was about to bang his head against the pillar.

The new emperor's eyes were filled with deep anger, and he shouted angrily: "Right Prime Minister, get out of the way and let him hit me. Even if he dies here today, I will not change my mind!"

The right prime minister had no choice but to let go of his hand. Seeing this, the minister was stunned for a moment and did not dare to really hit the pillar for a while.

The new emperor snorted coldly, "Everyone, please withdraw. There is no need to discuss this matter any further."

The ministers looked at each other, but did not dare to say anything more, so they had to retreat.

The new emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face.

After Queen Bai Jinyan learned about this, she came to the imperial study.

She looked at Xie Jingyu and said softly, "Your Majesty, the ministers are also considering the royal bloodline, you don't have to be so angry."

Xie Jingyu frowned, "I don't want to be influenced by them. I have my own ideas about the selection of concubines."

Bai Jinyan nodded slightly, "I understand. I will face it together with the emperor."

Meanwhile, in Prince Chen's palace, the retired emperor was leisurely drinking tea.

Xie Mochen said helplessly, "Father, your staying here is giving me a headache."

The emperor glanced at him and said, "Why? Can't I live here with you?"

Xie Mochen said quickly: "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that you won't be able to get used to it."

The emperor snorted, "What's there to be uncomfortable about living here? I'm just waiting to go back to Guanzhou."

At the same time, the turmoil in the court had not subsided.

Those ministers were still discussing privately how to persuade the new emperor to change his mind.

The new emperor, however, resolutely ignored it and devoted himself to state affairs.

King Chen went to Bai Mansion again.

But today Niu Niu was taken out by his parents, so Xie Mochen went straight to the backyard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Bai Qianqian, Qingqing and Qingyan turning the soil.

He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Qianqian, what are you doing?"

Bai Qianqian looked up and said with a smile: "I plan to plant some of those fruit cores."

She always kept the core of the spiritual fruit after eating it.

I thought that if I could grow fruit trees, I wouldn’t have to worry about not having enough spiritual fruits to eat.

Xie Mochen nodded, walked forward, pulled Bai Qianqian, and looked at Mo Er and Mo Si.

Without any instructions, the two of them took over Qingqing and Qingyan's work.
