The two were intimate on the couch for a while, and they didn't return to Chengqian Palace until Wang Muhan rushed to Bitaoyuan to urge Chu Shaoling.

Before leaving, Chu Shaoling coaxed and tricked Wei Ji to stay in the Bitao Garden to rest, and took Wang Muhan out by himself. As soon as he left the dormitory of the Bitao Garden, Chu Shaoling's face relaxed, and he said in a low voice, "I was negligent today. ,Remind me to be more careful in the future, Wei Ji has good ears, fortunately I didn’t say anything important today, otherwise how would it end,”

Wang Muhan quickly agreed, "Yes, this old slave didn't expect it. I will definitely care about it in the future. Don't worry, Your Highness."

Chu Shaoling let out a long breath, fortunately Wei Ji didn't ask carefully, he still had to wait until the day when he could have a showdown with Wei Ji, he would not be afraid of anything.

Chu Shaoling got on the chariot and turned to ask Wang Muhan, "Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? Isn't it already noon?"

Wang Muhan patted his head and said anxiously: "The slave is in a daze, it's the Empress Dowager looking for His Highness, asking His Highness to go to Ci'an Hall."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "Then go to Ci'an Hall first..."

"Your Highness..." Wang Muhan said in a low voice, "How can I be so anxious about this matter? I heard about it... Today, some wives from the Ling family also went to the Empress Dowager's Palace, and brought the Ling family with them. A daughter of yours."

Chu Shaoling understood that the daughter who could enter the palace was either Ling Yun or Ling Yi. I am afraid that Ling Yun would not be able to leave the house in such weather, and that could only be Ling Yi, whom the Queen Mother favored the most...

He is married to Ling Yi, so seeing each other like this is not beyond the courtesy, but after all, it is Guadatian Lixia, it makes people suspicious for nothing, and it is not easy to explain to Wei Ji when he turns around...

Chu Shaoling stroked the jade pendant on his waist and thought for a while, "Changing the road, go to the House of Internal Affairs."

Wang Muhan was stunned, what did he go to the House of Internal Affairs for?

Chu Shaoling closed his eyes, the Queen Mother wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the palace to let him see Ling Yi, so that both of them could have an idea, so Chu Shaoling simply messed up the pool of water even more.

Chu Shaoling went to the House of Internal Affairs and asked directly for ten boxes of swallow lamps, twenty sticks of old ginseng, and a cage each of deer antler and poria. He ordered someone to carry it, and a group of people went to Ci'an Hall.

After entering the side hall, Chu Shaoling respectfully saluted and greeted her. The queen mother smiled and said, "Get up, your aunts and your little cousin are here. I haven't seen you for a long time. Let you come and have a look."

Chu Shaoling lowered his eyes, but Ling Yi was not seen in the hall, he presumably hid behind the screen in advance, Zi Junhou's family's tutor was really good, Chu Shaoling bowed slightly: "Aunts are well." Several imperial wives standing below Not daring to accept the gift, he quickly turned sideways to avoid it, and blessed Fushen to say hello, Chu Shaoling turned his head and smiled softly to the queen mother: "Last night there was another heavy snow, and the north wind blew all night, the emperor's grandmother slept How are you?"

The Empress Dowager grinned in her heart, and smiled: "The earth dragon in the pavilion is well cooked, and Ai's family didn't feel the cold."

"That's good." Chu Shaoling lowered his head, "The day before yesterday, my grandson took a fancy to a five-butterfly holding longevity inlaid blue silver hand stove, and ordered someone to bring it over. Did the imperial grandmother see it?"

The Empress Dowager smiled: "Isn't this in use?" The Empress Dowager opened the cover of the hand stove she was holding in her hand, revealing a delicate and exquisite hand stove. The Empress Dowager Mian felt that she had a bright face, and she was much more filial than the Daxing Emperor who came to Chu Shaoling, and this filial piety was real, and it was the most heart-warming. The Empress Dowager smiled and looked at the things placed below and asked: "What's this?"

Chu Shaoling smiled: "I heard that some aunts brought their cousins ​​here..."

The queen mother smiled and was about to take the opportunity to let Ling Yi out, but Chu Shaoling went on to say: "Cousin Ling Yun has always been in poor health, and my grandson thinks that she is a close relative of flesh and blood, and sending something else is also heretic, so I ordered someone to prepare some good ones." Here’s the tonic, it’s freezing cold, let’s nourish Cousin Lingyun’s body.”

Chu Shaoling glanced into the hall and turned his head to Lingyun Lingyi's mother-in-law Mrs. Feng, said: "Cousin Lingyun is probably avoiding her when she sees the orphan coming. Auntie, take these things."

Mrs. Feng was very touched. This is not the first time that Chu Shaoling has sent medicinal materials to Zi Junhou's mansion, and they are hard-to-find tributes on the market. It is the most suitable tonic for Ling Yun. Mrs. Feng thanked her again and again. The most important thing is Chu Shaoling's intentions for Zijunhou's Mansion. All the wives are relieved. After Chu Shaoling ascends the throne, Zijunhou's Mansion will definitely have a different style.

The empress dowager was very disappointed in her heart, she only blamed Chu Shaoling for being too honest, Chu Shaoling's words fell to the ground, how could she say that it was not Ling Yun, but Ling Yi, who had missed a good opportunity, the empress dowager did not suspect him, she just blamed and doted on him He glanced at Chu Shaoling and said with a smile: "Ling'er has a heart, that's all, Chengqian Palace can't do without you, go."

Chu Shaoling smiled in satisfaction, saluted the Queen Mother in a proper manner, turned around, and before leaving the bedroom, he heard the Queen Mother laughing inside: "The prince just doesn't talk much, but in fact, he always remembers your family."

Mrs. Feng quickly interjected: "Who says it's not, the face is cold, but the things you do are heart-warming. It's not that the concubine is abrupt, the blessing of the empress dowager is behind."

The queen mother laughed again and again...

Chu Shaoling got out of the Hall of Ci'an and got on the chariot. Wang Muhan was sweating before, but now he finally felt relieved, smiled flatteringly and said: "The prince is very cunning, I didn't see you after all, so I left a little room."

Chu Shaoling gently rubbed the center of his brows: "My grandfather's family is incomparable to others, so I can't deal with it casually."

Wang Muhan bowed his head and said: "The prince will reuse Zi Junhou's mansion in the future, and it can be regarded as the friendship of these years."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "Naturally, my grandfather helped me a lot, how can I live up to it... By the way, how is the repair of the Qianqing Palace? But it was cleaned up according to what I said?"

"Prince, don't worry." Wang Muhan bowed his head and agreed, "The servant has been watching, every plant and tree came according to His Highness's order, and the maintenance and protection are more luxurious than those in the Painting Halberd Hall. The repaired house is cold, and the servants ordered people to burn the earth dragon every day, so the house is very dry, just waiting for His Highness to open the palace after he ascends the throne."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "Tell them to hurry up, enthronement is just a blink of an eye."

Indeed, in the blink of an eye, fifteen days later, Emperor Daxing went to the funeral, posthumously titled Sejong Fa Tianlong Yunjian Zhongbiao Wenwu Yingming Fenwu Yongrenrui Sheng Xiaomin Kuan became the emperor, Chu Shaoling showed his filial piety and benevolence, and sent his spirit off on the same day On the road, every time he passed through Lu Dian, he would personally burn paper and kneel down to worship, and finally he was reluctant to return to the city after being persuaded by hundreds of officials.

After Emperor Daxing was buried, everyone in the palace began to be busy with the enthronement ceremony again. Chu Shaoling ordered everyone to keep everything simple on the grounds that "the war is at an early stage of peace, and I can't bear to labor the people and waste money." It was time for the new emperor to return to the sky, and the reputation of being lenient, benevolent and harmonious spread throughout Da Chu. Chu Shaoling looked at the congratulatory letters sent by the old princes in the fief and smiled: "What they said is really nice..."

Chu Shaotao smiled: "Now it's spread all over the outside world, the new emperor is better than Yao and Shun, Qianqiu..."

"Okay, I can't afford to even say this." Chu Shaoling picked up the booklet sent by King Rong and handed it to Chu Shaotao and said lightly, "King Rong also invited me to the imperial city to watch the ceremony, and I agreed."

Chu Shaotao smiled coldly: "Thank you, Prince, rest assured, I will not make a move until the enthronement ceremony. When everything is over, I will make a result when I return to the fief with my father."

Chu Shaoling sighed in his heart. King Rong and Chu Shaotao, father and son, were also enemies in the previous life. Chu Shaoling asked, "The matter of King Rong... how are you going to do it?"

Chu Shaotao smiled coldly: "Bichangsan, the princess ate the bird's nest of Duanchangsan back then, and now I also return him a bottle of Duanchangsan, so that when I arrive at the palace of the king of hell in the underworld, my poor princess and my son who is not yet a month old will also die." Well, there is a saying, Tit for Tat, and the two will be settled from now on.”

Chu Shaoling was speechless for a while, Chu Shaotao smiled: "Your Highness thinks I'm too vicious?"

Chu Shaoling shook his head, compared to Chu Shaotao, he actually did a better job, Chu Shaoling said: "I just think it's ridiculous, it's obviously the nature of father and son, but there are always situations like you and me in the royal family, haha..."

"Speaking of which, I am better than His Highness. The mother and concubine are still here. After we take care of these things, we will have a happy life in the fief." Chu Shaotao and Chu Shaoling cherished each other, and couldn't help sighing, "The prince has suffered more than me. There is a folk saying, 'It is better to die as an official father than to be a rice mother', the words are rough, but they also have some meaning..."

Chu Shaoling laughed: "No matter how I say it, I've made it through. You've helped me a lot in the past six months. I'll cover this up for you. After I'm done... I'll issue an imperial edict for you. A prince's name is indispensable. "

Chu Shaotao bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Chu Shaoling was always generous to his own people, and said: "If you don't want to be in the fief, I can allow your family to return to the imperial city."

Chu Shaotao suddenly felt sour, shook his head and said, "No need, I didn't get used to it when I first went to the fiefdom, but I'm used to it now, and besides, Qi Yu...he doesn't want to come back either."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "Understood, take care of everything, take care of my aunt for me."

Chu Shaotao bowed to salute, and was about to turn his head to go out, then turned back and said: "These days are very chaotic, and I haven't been able to see Wei Ji. Your Highness, please say hello for me, Your Highness...Wei Ji is a good person, Your Highness, don't let him down." .”

Now the person in front of me is still the prince. After the enthronement ceremony, he will be the emperor of Da Chu. Then everything will be different. Chu Shaotao couldn’t help worrying about Wei Ji when he thought of Wei Ji. Chu Shaoling approached with a smile and patted Chu Shaotao on the shoulder. : "Don't worry, even if I fail the world, I won't fail him."

Chu Shaotao was used to the impermanence of the world in the royal family, and he didn't believe it very much after hearing this, but he still nodded: "I remember this sentence, and I hope His Highness can remember it too."

Chu Shaoling smiled faintly: "Naturally."

At the enthronement ceremony on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Chu Shaoling wore a dragon robe and a triple dragon crown on his head, and led all the clan ministers to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to the ancestors, the clan, and the common people.

After offering sacrifices to heaven, Chu Shaoling was escorted back to the palace by the guard battalion led by Wei Ji. When passing through the gate of Taihe, the guards unloaded their swords, leaving only guard Ji to follow Chu Shaoling into the gate of Taihe.

From the Gate of Supreme Harmony to the Hall of Supreme Harmony through the Hall of Central Harmony to the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Chu Shaoling was guarded only by Wei Ji.

The two stepped on the bronzing red dragon carpet, Chu Shaoling was dressed in a dragon robe, Wei Ji was dressed in a military uniform, one noble and the other heroic, each with their own demeanor, a road that was neither long nor short, Wei Ji only walked for a stick of incense In time, Chu Shaoling has gone for a full 20 years.

At the back of the Baohe Hall, Chu Shaoling walked up the jade steps of the Panlong. In the hall, the Minister of Rites read out the edict of the first emperor loudly. Wei Ji took the jade seal from Zi Junhou. The jade seal was heavy in his hand. Wei Ji suddenly remembered the night before Chu Shaoling What I said to him: This world belongs to me, and it also belongs to you.

Wei Ji took a deep breath, turned around and knelt down, offering the jade seal with both hands, Chu Shaoling looked down at Wei Ji's eyes, paused for a moment to take the jade seal, and Wei Ji kowtowed first: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live! !"

The civil and military officials then knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The mountain in the hall shouted long live, Chu Shaoling raised his head slightly, from this day on, this world truly belongs to him.
