Seven days later, the new emperor ascended the throne and the whole world celebrated.

Emperor Retired Song Junyin was half-lying on the couch until the sound of drums from the celebration reached his ears, and then he slowly lay down.

The entire bedroom fell silent.

He lowered his eyelids, recalled the scene when he ascended the throne, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

As I thought about it, a tear slid down the corner of my eye.

"Your Highness..."

Concubine Wei wiped the tear marks at the right time and said worriedly, "If you have anything on your mind, please tell me."

"My beloved, Xuanlin is easily emotional. From now on, you are the Empress Dowager. Although the child of the Feng family saved your life, you still cannot lose your reason and judgment."

"I understand."

Concubine Wei nodded. "This child has grown up under our care. He is very sensible and will never interfere in state affairs..."

"It seems you haven't understood yet. This is not what I'm talking about."

Song Junyin opened his eyes immediately after hearing this.

If he hadn't been so weak, he would have even wanted to roll his eyes, "I want you to remind Xuan Lin that it's not enough to have only one woman in the harem. We need to take in more concubines so that the royal family can expand."

"this......"

Concubine Wei was surprised. This is what His Highness was talking about.

She thought for a moment and then looked troubled: "Other things are easy, but this is the most difficult."

“Why is this the most difficult?”

"You know Xuanlin is a stubborn child. Besides, they are about to get married. How can I ask him to do it?"

"If you don't tell me, I will drag my old bones to the door of their room and tell them before they go to the wedding night."

Song Junyin is now bedridden and his temper is becoming more and more like that of a child.

These words made Concubine Wei laugh and cry.

"Your Highness, you can't do that. I will just do as you ask."

Concubine Wei agreed verbally, but the scene of the previous day in Wei Mansion suddenly flashed in her mind.

"Xuanlin, after you ascend the throne, are you really going to take Yun'er as your queen?"

"Uncle, I don't want to wait any longer."

Song Xuanlin looked at Wei Xun with a firm look in his eyes, "Besides, Yun'er has made great contributions in saving the emperor, and the emperor has already agreed."

Wei Xun glanced at Song Xuanlin's stubborn expression and felt mixed emotions.

After the rebellion of Prince Jin was quelled, he recognized Rong Sheng.

He knew that Rong Sheng had a hard time in his two lives.

Now, as a master, he feels more guilty when facing his most proud disciple.

Four years ago, if he had been able to detect the conspiracy of the deposed prince in time and stop the Shen family army from going to Camel Hump Valley, things might not have turned out like this today.

Moreover, when he was wrongly imprisoned in the Dali Temple, it was Rong Sheng's mediation that got him released.

"Master, once a teacher, always a father."

At that time, Rong Sheng, who had already woken up, comforted him, "Yun'er, you should do all this, and you must not say anything polite."

He knew that Rong Sheng said this so that he could go to the Southern Region with peace of mind.

But just as he was about to leave, Song Xuanlin and Rong Sheng suddenly decided to get married, catching him off guard.

Wei Xun sighed softly: "Xuanlin, although I am your uncle, I am also Yun'er's master."

He said earnestly, "Yun'er has experienced all the pain and suffering in life in her last life. After you get married, don't hurt her feelings again."

"Uncle, don't worry—"

Seeing that Wei Xun's concern was about this, Song Xuanlin vowed, "I, Song Xuanlin, swear that Yun'er is the only woman in my life!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two seven-foot-tall men's eyes sparkled with tears and they smiled at each other.

"Ugh--"

Concubine Wei came to her senses and sighed secretly.

Of course she understood the emperor's painstaking efforts.

But she was once a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love.

Before entering the palace for selection, I also longed to be with someone for the rest of my life.

It’s a pity that once you enter the palace, it’s like entering a deep sea.

The beautiful vision that belonged to the youngest daughter became a luxury that would never be realized in her lifetime.

If she could be lucky enough to see her descendants living together forever, she would have no regrets in her life.

Who cares about those stupid rules of the royal family?

After thinking for a moment, Concubine Wei began to remain silent.

After all, if Song Junyin knew what she was thinking at the moment, he would definitely die on the spot.

As for the people of Dazhen, they hardly understood the royal rules.

Therefore, they were not surprised that the new emperor ascended the throne in haste.

They were not surprised that the emperor announced that he would establish a queen as soon as he ascended the throne.

The only thing that surprised them was that the woman who was about to become the new queen of a country was from the Feng family, who had just returned to the capital not long ago.

In the past, the Feng family could be considered a family of scholars.

Even with Feng Zhongpei, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and the support of the Shen family as a family in-law.

But looking at the capital city where many nobles gather, it is not that prominent.

What's more, a few years ago, the Feng family had been hiding for a long time in order to stay away from the court disputes.

Now that he has returned to Beijing, his momentum is no longer as strong as before.

Ever since the palace announced the candidate for empress, the Feng family has been the topic of conversation in the streets and alleys of the capital.

At this time, in a teahouse, several people were drinking tea, listening to music and chatting.

"Hey, have you heard that the new queen will be the eldest daughter of the Feng family, whose name seems to be Feng Sheng." A dark and thin man suddenly said.

"Well, this name sounds familiar," a fat white man took over the conversation, "but why do I remember that the eldest daughter of the Feng family seems to be called Feng Xing'er?"

"You may not know, but I heard that this eldest daughter was taken away by mistake a long time ago. Unlike the Feng family, she started practicing martial arts since she was young."

The other bearded man finally spoke after hearing this.

He carefully glanced around before lowering his voice and continuing, "Some time ago, when the Prince of Jin rebelled, I heard that it was this Feng Sheng who saved the life of the retired emperor. Otherwise, such a good thing would never have happened to the Feng family."

"Oh, I see—"

The other two suddenly realized, "But if she had been practicing martial arts since she was young, wouldn't she have been brought to a poor family? Wouldn't her appearance be hard to describe?"

"Well, maybe, but the royal family probably doesn't care about this, right?"

Words like these were circulating in the streets of the capital for several days.

It wasn't until Rong Sheng's stunning appearance on the wedding day that these rumors were dispelled.

It was evening now, the sky was full of red clouds, and everything was illuminated.

The auspicious time has arrived, and a luxurious and colorful gold-inlaid carriage is slowly moving from the Mingshun Marquis Mansion towards the Imperial Palace.

Along the way, people were eagerly waiting.

At this moment, people's heartbeats seemed to merge with the sound of bells and drums of the guard of honor.

There was a gentle breeze, and the gauze curtains around the eaves of the car fluttered in the wind, revealing what was happening inside the car.

The woman in the car was wearing a golden phoenix crown on her head and a bright red bridal robe on her body.

Under the round fan with intricate patterns is a beautiful face.

"Ah, I saw it, it's so beautiful!"

"Yes, the Queen is so beautiful!"

"Wow, it's like a fairy from heaven!"

"No wonder the emperor is so anxious. The daughter of the Feng family is truly stunningly beautiful!"

As the ceremonial guard walked away, Rong Sheng's beautiful appearance was captured by the people around her.

Listening to the praises filling his ears, Rong Sheng quietly moved the fan away, looked into the distance, and found that this road had no end in sight.

"Ugh--"

Rong Sheng sighed secretly. The procedures before the wedding in the past few days had already made her dizzy, and she was half asleep and half awake last night.

At this moment, bound by court robes and phoenix crown, she even felt that it was more painful than going to the battlefield.

"Liu Ling, when can we get to the palace?"

At this moment, Liu Ling was holding the Queen's seal and following the team in an orderly manner.

When she heard this, she turned her head and immediately caught the tiredness in Rong Sheng's expression. She hurriedly whispered, "Your Majesty, hold on a little longer, you will see the emperor soon."

Yes, I will be able to see Xuanlin soon...

When Rong Sheng thought about the fact that she was about to marry the person she had always loved, her spirits instantly lifted.

She quickly straightened her graceful posture and raised the fan over her chest again.

It wasn't until she reached the palace gate that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Song Xuanlin had been waiting in the hall for a long time. If the eunuch had not stopped him, he would have almost left the palace to carry the queen over.

"When will my queen arrive?"

"Your Majesty, please do not be impatient. Everything must be done according to the rules."

The eunuch's calm tone made Song Xuanlin even more anxious: "Forget it, it's not too much for me to go to the palace gate to greet him, right?"

"Ah, Your Majesty, you can't do that..."

The eunuchs were about to stop them, but they saw the queen's carriage appear in the distance.

"My queen is here!"

At this moment Song Xuanlin was as excited as a child.

Ignoring everyone's attempt to stop him, he quickly walked to the carriage and carried Rong Sheng down.

Afterwards, his eyes were always fixed on Rong Sheng's beautiful figure, unable to move away at all.

As a result, Song Xuanlin was absent-minded during the subsequent ceremony and other procedures.

"Your Majesty, please lower your head."

At this time, Rong Sheng reminded in a low voice.

From the time she entered the palace until now, although she also wanted to see Song Xuanlin's face, there were too many rules, so she didn't dare to glance at him.

But what she didn't expect was that Song Xuanlin's infatuated gaze made her almost burst out laughing.

Now it was time to drink the wedding wine together. She was afraid that if she didn't remind Song Xuanlin, the wine would spray on his face.

"Yun'er..."

After Song Xuanlin drank a glass of wine, his voice became a little hot and hoarse.

Upon hearing this, Rong Sheng choked on half of the wine, but did not dare to cough out loud, and his face turned red.

Song Xuanlin looked up, his face darkened, and he said solemnly to the eunuch beside him: "Are there any other procedures?"

"Reply, report to Your Majesty, no more."

"Then don't get out!"

"Yes, I am resigning!"

As the door closed, Rong Sheng finally dared to cough loudly.

"Ahem, Xuanlin, is everything over?"

"It's over, it's all over, Yun'er, you are my wife now."

Song Xuanlin patted Rong Sheng's back and consoled him, "Are you feeling any pain anywhere else, huh?"

"call--"

"Nothing."

Rong Sheng finally caught her breath and relaxed as she hugged Song Xuanlin's neck. "Your Majesty, do you know how much I've missed you these days?"

"Yun'er——"

Song Xuanlin felt Rong Sheng's soft embrace, and his heart had already melted into water. He picked up Rong Sheng and came to the bed.

"After tonight, you will belong to me completely."
