Three days later, the country mourned.

After all sacrificial ceremonies were over, the first emperor was finally buried, and the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor also proceeded as scheduled.

On the day of the enthronement pawn,? Everything has been arranged properly. All the clan nobles,? Foreign ministers, dignitaries,? All came to the scene in person, and prepared to worship the young and promising new emperor.

However, the much-anticipated His Royal Highness Su Wang walked up the steps slowly, only wearing a normal uniform.

Qiu Chen slowly sat on the throne, resting his elbows on the armrests of the seat, watching the various poses and expressions of the people below the steps in his spare time.

All the ministers were surprised when they saw that his hair was loose and he was just casually wearing a plain robe.

Qiu Chen left them to hang out for a while, and saw Yao Xue standing at the bottom of the steps, half amused, half looking at him helplessly, then frivolously winked at him.

After a long while, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qiu Chen finally said loudly: "Today, all of you gathered here to participate in this enthronement ceremony. I am very grateful. It's just that I am not the protagonist of today's ceremony."

When he said this, he met everyone's very puzzled eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to the kindness of the late emperor,? I was chosen as the heir to this throne. I am very terrified. It's just a pity, the supreme glory, the supreme power, It is not what I want in my heart. On such a grand occasion today, I would like to solemnly inform everyone that after careful consideration, I have decided to give up the throne to my elder sister, Qi Wenying. From now on, Qi Wenying is the most The rightful heir to the throne, and everyone here should respectfully address her as Your Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, all four people were shocked and there was an uproar.

Sure enough, many old ministers were so angry that they blew their beards and stared at each other, and they rushed to the center of the hall, yelling at Qiu Chen, regardless of etiquette.

Qi Wenying didn't know about it before, but she was standing at the bottom of the steps with surprise written all over her face, she just stared at Qiu Chen in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

Qiu Chen saw that the audience was noisy, but there was no disturbance on his face, as if everything was in his expectation.Lazily, he took out the late emperor's will from the hinge of the seat, and ordered his attendants to present it in front of the ministers, for everyone to read it one by one.

Qiuchen propped his head, and with his long legs crossed, he waited patiently on the seat.When the last person finished reading, he slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, looked down at the seat and said in a deep voice: "If you still have eyesight, you can see that this edict is written by the late emperor himself, and there is a letter seal as evidence. It is written in the edict Mingming, I am the heir appointed by the first emperor, so right now, before the emperor's sister ascends the throne, my words are the highest will of the entire Dayong. That being the case, I dare to ask all of you here, who else has any opinion on my decision just now? objection?"

Qiu Chen's demeanor appeared to be very peaceful on the surface, but in fact, his words were sharp, and there was a hidden madness, which meant that he was right.

Most of the people fell silent when they heard the words, and there were still a few stubborn veterans who insisted on coming forward and begged Qiuchen heartbrokenly, to the effect that how could the eldest princess, a mere girl, manage the whole country? Yong's thousand-year foundation must not be buried here, and so on.

Qiu Chen snorted when he heard the words, raised his eyes and looked at these people calmly, until the other party was a little timid, so he could barely look away.

He propped his head on one hand, smiled kindly at them, and took the time to say: "May I ask you all, do you know what duties you should perform as a minister? What kind of minister is worthy of treating your majesty?" , are you worthy of yourself?"

Those courtiers looked slightly startled, and were stunned for a moment.

Qiu Chen raised the corners of his mouth unobtrusively, and continued: "As ministers, what you have to do is to support the monarch, correct the wrong decisions of the monarch, and help him govern the country better, instead of repeating things here and again. She questioned the identity of the lord. The eldest princess is the queen's daughter, she has the world in her heart, and she is very alert, which is worthy of the throne. I think that the emperor of Dayong should not only have a noble status, but also have an incomparable status. Ability to reach. Am I wrong?"

Those few people were speechless for a while, just stuck in place.

Qiu Chen paused, and finally raised his voice: "That's all for now, there is no need to discuss further. If anyone has any objections, I will not force them anymore. Anyone who disagrees can resign from the official position, and I will definitely give him a hundred taels of gold." , and let him return to his hometown in fine clothes."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless for a while.After a while, several people came forward to resign.Qiu Chen clapped his hands, and the servants at the side immediately stepped forward, holding the gold and silver taels in their hands, and led those people back.

The hall was finally silent.Qiu Chen looked down the steps with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Then, for the rest of you, since you choose to stay, you should fulfill your duties as courtiers and do everything you can to assist the new emperor. On the other hand, if you lose Proper, if you do something wrong, you will embarrass yourself and your family, and you will be punished in the future."

When he said this, he stood up with a smile and nodded to Qi Wenying.The other party was still looking at him in disbelief, and after a short while, a group of servants came forward and embraced her to dress and change clothes.

Qiu Chen walked down the steps slowly, and all the officials stepped aside one after another, bowing to him tremblingly.Qiu Chen walked a few steps, but suddenly stopped, and said casually: "Oh, by the way, there is something I forgot to say just now." He said briskly: "I have removed myself from the imperial register. In the past, my name will never appear on the royal jade plate."

After he finished speaking, it seemed as if he had confessed an ordinary and trivial matter, and he started to walk forward again.

At that time Yao Xue had already retreated from the crowd and was waiting at the gate of the hall.When he saw Qiu Chen walking towards him, he smiled and held out his hand to him.

Qiu Chen held Yao Xue, waved his hands behind him, and said in a loud voice, "Greeting your new emperor well, don't forget me."

Outside the hall is a bright light that is somewhat dazzling.

……

a few days later.

His Royal Highness King Su, who was supposed to ascend the throne, abdicated to the Eldest Princess at the enthronement ceremony, and even removed himself from the throne forever, willing to become a commoner.

At the same time, the prestigious hussar general also resigned from the court, and the legend of the invincible battlefield came to an end.

And the first imperial edict issued by their new emperor was to announce to the world, rehabilitate the Li family who were convicted of treason a few years ago and the family members involved in the incident, and give them the honor they deserve.

There was a heated discussion in the Yong Kingdom, some opposed, some agreed, and some questioned it. It coincided with the folk celebration of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, and the whole country fell into a different kind of jubilation.In short, all the people of Yong Kingdom are using various methods to welcome their country's first female emperor.

Yao Xue and Qiu Chen had been idle in the mansion for a few days, and they finally had a sense of the current life.Now, they are finally no longer the protagonists in the never-ending disputes, and finally no longer need to be the focus of the torrent of power.

The street was full of gongs and drums every day, and it was extremely lively, but the two of them just hid in the house, did nothing, just leaned together, looked at each other, and felt the great satisfaction rising from the bottom of their hearts.

Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the noisy enthronement ceremony has finally come to an end.On this day, the two were packing their things and discussing where to go for a trip, when the servants outside the door suddenly came to announce that His Majesty had summoned them to the palace.

The two entered the palace leisurely, came to Qi Wenying together, bowed down and bowed respectfully.

Qi Wenying was sitting in front of the desk reviewing the memorial, with a serious expression.She is now wearing a unique costume in the world, displaying her talent to the fullest in this small world, exuding a different kind of vitality, and looking extraordinarily radiant.

Qi Wenying raised her eyes and saw the two, she quickly stood up and helped them up herself.She looked at Qiu Chen, speechless for a while, and after a while, tears of emotion welled up in her eyes.

Qi Wenying leaned over to salute Qiu Chen, choked up slightly and said, "Ziyin, I really don't know what to say. Thank you, thank you very much. I can't repay you for what you have done for me." .”

Qiu Chen hurried forward and helped him up.After hearing Qi Wenying's words, he just shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to thank me. I didn't do this for anyone. I just think that everything should be like this, but in many cases, the world is originally The gears that rotate regularly were slightly turned by some people, and they were misplaced. All I did was turn it back to the original correct position."

Qi Wenying was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly after a while.At this time, the servant brought tea, and the three of them sat down and chatted while drinking.

Not long after, the palace people sent Yijing over again, and the atmosphere suddenly became more active.When the child saw Yao Xue and Qiu Chen, he was immediately overjoyed. He ran forward in two or three steps, and climbed onto Yao Xue's lap and sat down very familiarly.

Seeing that the two of them liked children so much, Qi Wenying took a sip of tea, pretending to inadvertently said, "Speaking of which, it's been a while since the two of you have been together? Have you saluted yet? Today I Just act as the elder and choose a day for you to do it."

Qiu Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and after a while, he said with a trembling voice: "You...you know all about it?"

He never thought in his heart that Qi Wenying would take their affairs to heart and would support them.Yao Xue, who was sitting on the side, was also slightly surprised. He and Qiu Chen exchanged a glance, picked up Yijing on his lap and handed it to the servant, sat up straight, and looked at Qi Wenying, his eyes sparkling.

Qi Wenying nodded with a smile: "Both of you are born so handsome. Standing together, no one will say that you are a good match. If your story is spread to the people, it may be written into a storybook."

For a while, Qiu Chen just looked at Qi Wenying, his eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were full of gratitude.Although he did not hide his relationship with Yao Xue in front of others, he never made it known to others, and seldom gained the approval of others.

After a while, Qiu Chen just smiled at Qi Wenying: "I've already lost my imperial status, what are you doing so high-profile..."

Yao Xue suddenly squeezed his hand under the table, stood up and bowed to Qi Wenying and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." As he spoke, he took out a document from his sleeve, and handed it to Qi Wenying with both hands very solemnly. Qi Wenying.

The document was folded into [-] folds with red paper, and Qi Wenying opened it, and it turned out to be a letter of appointment.

Yao Xue bowed and said: "Ziyin's elders are no longer alive, you are his only relative now. I have been planning this for the past few days, just to fulfill his wish. I should be there in person, but I still want to ask for your permission in person as much as possible, so that he can have a complete wedding ceremony. It’s just that we only want to invite some familiar people, and we don’t want to make a big deal of it.”

Qiu Chen raised his head to look at Yao Xue, then stared blankly at the letter of appointment in Qi Wenying's hand, his vision blurred unapologetically.

Qi Wenying was very happy when she heard the words, and immediately agreed with a smile: "Naturally, it's all up to you. Feel free to ask me if you have any requirements. For nothing else, I will help me realize my long-cherished wish for you." When she said this, Looking at the two with a smile: "Also, don't call me Your Majesty in private, call me Eldest Sister."

Yao Xue and Qiu Chen thanked Qi Wenying, played with Yi Jing for a while, and left the palace.

As soon as he left the palace gate, Qiu Chen hugged Yao Xue very hard.Yao Xue was slightly taken aback by him, he smiled and put his arms around Qiu Chen's waist, gently stroked his back, and said softly: "What's the matter?"

Qiu Chen choked slightly and said, "Chang Shu, thank you. I'm really happy."

It was the middle of winter in February, and the snow had stopped, but a thick layer was still accumulated on the ground.Yao Xue put Qiuchen's waist around her, lifted him off the ground and walked a few steps forward, then put him down again, and looked at the footprints on the ground bearing the weight of two people together.

Yao Xue kissed Qiu Chen on the cheek, and said affectionately, "I'm happy too. You never have to say thank you to me."

"In a few days, we will be married."
