In the twenty-fourth year of Kaibao's reign, on the second day of June, the emperor Bintian came.
Prince Mu Ying inherited the throne and gave the emperor the posthumous title "Mu".
This year still uses the year name of Kaibao, and next year is designated as the first year of "Qikang".
The direct consort Wu was canonized as queen.
The late emperor is newly mourned, and the canonization ceremony will be held on the queen's birthday next year.
Although no grand ceremony was held, according to regulations, the wife of the bride had to enter the palace to congratulate the queen.
Rongzheng also had to put on makeup according to the etiquette and prepare to enter the palace to congratulate the new queen.
Mei Fen brought in the red lacquered and engraved boxes, opened them and showed them to Rong Zheng.
The box contains several pieces of jewelry that Rong Zheng requested.
There are big emerald flowers, silent steps carved with Chinese jade, white agarwood bracelets, and cat's eye necklaces.
These are not rare things, but giving them away is the safest thing.
Rong Zheng took a closer look at each item, compared the gift list, and after confirming that it was correct, she asked Mei Fen to close the lid.
Rongzheng entered the palace, and the queen's bedroom had been moved from the former Chengqian Palace to Kunning Palace.
The new queen accepted the congratulations from her concubines in the front hall of Kunning Palace.
The trivial matters in the palace are very complicated and cannot be described one by one.
When Rong Zheng had time, she went to Yuming Palace.
Rongjun is now the head of the Yuming Palace.
The previous concubine Qing passed away two years ago, and because Rongjun gave birth to the ninth princess, her status has also been upgraded from a talented person to a noble person.
Thanks to Rong Zheng's early intervention, the Ninth Princess did not die young like in her previous life.
Fortunately, she grew up to this day and looks very healthy.
Rongzheng saved the life of the ninth princess, which made Rongyun full of gratitude to Rongzheng.
So when she heard that Rongyun came to see her, she was so excited that she pulled her daughter out of the banquet room to welcome her.
"Third sister, you are here" Rong Zheng saluted Rong Yun's blessed body.
Rong Yun grabbed her and said, "Don't be like this.
There is no need for sisters to be polite when they meet each other."
Rong Zheng smiled and said hello to the Ninth Princess.
The Ninth Princess was not yet seven years old and looked very cute, a bit like Rong Yun.
"My sister is here to congratulate the new queen, right?"
Rong Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, I sat in Kunning Palace for a while, and I was thinking about my empress, so I took the time to visit you and the princess."
Rongjun wore plain clothes because he was maintaining the order for the late emperor.
"They said they wanted me to move to the Shoukang Palace area.
But I don't want to go.
I have been here for more than ten years and I can't bear to leave here."
Rongjun looked at the furnishings in the room.
She was already full of enthusiasm for this place. emotion.
The Shoukang Palace area is where the old queen and the old concubines live, close to the Buddhist temple.
Anyway, they, the concubines of the former dynasty, have been with the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng all their lives.
Rongzheng could understand Rongyun and said with a smile: "It's the same as when I left Bianliang.
It's the same mood."
The Ninth Princess looked up and asked, "Third Aunt, why didn't you see Sister Yuan coming?"
Rongzheng bent over and said with a smile: "Princess, your sister did not come out with me today.
I will bring her to pay my respects to the princess another day."
Rongzheng could not sit for more than a cup of tea.
A female official from Kunning Palace came and asked Rongzheng to come over.
Rongzheng had no choice but to say goodbye: "Empress, princess, please take care of yourself and I will come back to the palace to pay my respects to you."

Rong Jun nodded and smiled: "The queen is calling you, go quickly.
Don't miss the business."
When a new emperor ascends the throne, something will inevitably happen.
When Mu Xuan returned home, she had already been updated.
There were several candles lit in the candlestick near the corner, illuminating the whole room.
Mu Xuan didn't see Rong Zheng's figure.
Seeing that the room next door was also lit with candles, she opened the curtain and walked in.
Mu Xuan saw Rong Zheng sitting under the lamp, holding her chin in one hand, staring blankly at the candlelight.
She didn't know what she was thinking, but she was so fascinated that Mu Xuan even walked up to her without even realizing it.
Mu Xuan gently covered Rong Zheng's eyes.
Rong Zheng broke Mu Xuan's hand away, stood up, tried her best to smile, and said, "I came back quite late today."
"There's nothing I can do about it.
I've been busy lately.
After I've been busy for a while, the emperor has promised me to rest for a while.
I've already planned to take you and the children back to Bianliang during this period of time. " Rong Zheng lowered his head and said, "Okay, it's been a long time since I've been back."
Mu Xuan held Rong Zheng's face and stared at her face carefully through the warm candlelight.
He could never see enough of this face, and said with a smile: "I have good news to tell you."
"Well, what good news?"
"The emperor said that he would reward me with a title."
"What title?"
Rong Zheng was a little surprised.
Mu Xuan said with a smile: "Guess what."
"Marquis" Mu Xuan shook his head.
"Assistant Duke" Mu Xuan still shook his head.
"That's the Duke of Zhenguo" Mu Xuan said with a smile: "No."
"The rest" "He is a county king.
The king's title has been drawn up, and he is just waiting for the decree to be announced.
It may only be in the next few days."
Rong Zheng looked at Mu Xuan in surprise.
How is this possible, how could he suddenly be made a county king?
Although Mu Xuan is also a member of the clan, he is not the heir apparent and has lost the qualification to inherit the title.
Although he stayed in the military camp for a few years and made some military exploits, it was all several years ago.
In the past few years, he had been the commander of the personal guard.
In terms of merit, he had eradicated the King of Wu on behalf of the prince.
He was suddenly reused and did not recover for a while.
But Rong Zheng wasn't that surprised anymore when she contacted the Queen of the Day and told her.
"The queen summoned me privately today and said a few words to me."
"Well, what did the Queen say?"
Rong Zheng's voice became deeper and deeper as she said, "The Queen wants to adopt our Sister Yuan as her adopted daughter."
This time it was Mu Xuan who was surprised.
He didn't come back to his senses for a long time and said in surprise: "Why did you reply?"
"Can I still disobey the Queen's will?
However, I did not agree immediately and said that I would come back to discuss it with you.
Junhua, what do you mean by the Queen?"
"What do you mean?

Isn't it obvious?
The children raised by the queen are all sons, not daughters.
The emperor only has a daughter, only half a year old.
The emperor needs a princess."
Rong Zheng said with tears: "It's not easy to fall in love with Princess Yuan.
I can't bear to let Sister Yuan leave me.
She is still so young."
"Now the world is at peace and the world is at peace.
There are very few marriages.
But if Sister Yuan really becomes a princess, we will not be able to decide her future marriage."
Rong Zheng felt heartbroken.
Over the years, she and Mu Xuan have been on good terms and have become more affectionate.
So far, she has raised a total of three children, and her daughter is only Sister Yuan.
Sister Yuan was naughty when she was a child, but now she is getting older and more obedient, and it hurts like a baby.
I don’t want Sister Yuan’s son to be raised in the palace.
On August 15th, the canonization edict came down.
Mu Xuan was given the title of "Xiping" king.
If the descendants have non-war merits, they will be reduced to one level and inherited.
Not just Fan.
This is not a special case in Daxia's hundreds of years of history.
At the same time, there was also a decree from the queen to adopt Mu Xuan's eldest daughter as her adopted daughter, and wait for her marriage before she could be given the title of princess.
At the same time, the decree also stated that Princess Xiping would bring Sister Yuan into the palace every fifth day and let her accompany the queen in Kunning Palace.
On an ordinary day, I live in Xiping Prince's Mansion.
When Rong Zheng heard what happened, she almost burst into tears.
Fortunately, the queen still allowed her daughter to stay with her most of the time.
Mu Xuan was granted the title of Princess and became a new member of the imperial court.
Many princes and nobles came to congratulate her.
Rong Zheng was also called "Princess" by everyone in her family.
Her sudden new status made her quite uncomfortable.
For this reason, the emperor specially allocated a piece of land to Mu Xuan to build a mansion, and also rewarded him with thousands of hectares of fertile land.
Mu Xuan could finally come out of the background of being the eldest son of Prince Yu in this life.
He finally broke out of the world by relying on his own abilities and gained his own achievements and status.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything is settled.
Mu Xuan took Rong Zheng into the palace to request the emperor's order, planning to return to Bianliang.
The emperor didn't say anything.
The queen just couldn't bear to leave Sister Yuan, and said to Rong Zheng: "Leave the princess with me."
Sister Yuan had long wanted to go back to Bianliang, and she burst into tears after hearing this.
Seeing her daughter like this, Rongzheng had no choice but to say: "Empress, I still want to take Sister Yuan back to Bianliang.
Her aunt has been talking about her for a long time and really wants to see her.
She will wait until she comes back from Bianliang.
She came to Kunning Palace to stay for a few days."
The queen gently stroked Sister Yuan's hair and said with some reluctance: "Well, I think the princess will also miss her niece.
She must stay here for a few days when she comes back."
Sister Yuan and Fu Li agreed.
The more the queen looked at her, the more she fell in love with her.

She praised her: "I have seen many little girls from princes and nobles, but Sister Yuan is the most beautiful.
How can anyone not like her?"
Sister Yuan replied happily: "Thank you very much for your compliment."
The queen took out a brocade box from behind and said: "This is the gift I prepared for the princess.
Say hello to her when I see her.
If she is not seriously ill, ask her to come to Beijing and say that Princess Ning is still thinking about her.
She did."
"Yes, I will definitely convey the Queen's wishes to her."
With everything ready, Mu Xuan decided to set off on August 21st.
Rongzheng took her children to Bianliang, where they had been away for many days.
From north to south, the road originally took half a month to pass.
Fortunately, it was a smooth journey and we stayed overnight at dawn, which was quite peaceful.
The hired carriages and horses were very fast, so it only took twelve days to get from Beijing to Bianliang.
Although Mu Xuan sent someone to write a letter to Qixia Villa before setting off, they arrived home a few days early, which still caught Princess Duanhui off guard.
She was overjoyed when she saw Mu Xuan's family.
"I also said it would take two days for you to arrive, but I didn't expect it to arrive earlier than expected.
It won't be easy with all the big and small things along the way."
Rongzheng held her youngest son Lang Geer, who had just turned one and a half years old, in her arms, and Mu Xuan held her seven-year-old Liang Geer.
Sister Yuan saw her aunt break free from the maid's hand and ran towards Duan Hui.
"Auntie, I miss you so much.
Why don't you come to see me?"
The last time we met was in the winter of the 22nd year of Kaibao.
In the blink of an eye, we haven’t seen each other for almost two years.
Duan Hui always liked children, but seeing Sister Yuan still so close to her, tears already filled her eyes.
"Niuniu, my good Niuniu."
The aunt and nephew were inseparable.
After a while, Duan Hui held Sister Yuan's hand, then smiled and said to Rong Zheng and Mu Xuan: "You must have worked hard along the way.
Fortunately, there are people cleaning the Qingyin Hall all the time, and the bedding and other things are all cleaned."
It’s ready.
It’s still liveable.”
Mu Xuan saw that his sister was wearing a plain azurite gown, a low bun, a jade hairpin, and a string of sandalwood beads hanging on her chest.
There were no other beads.
She looked a little older than when she came back two years ago, and felt a little sour in her heart.
She sincerely said, "Sister, how are you doing lately?"
Duan Hui said with a smile: "Okay, it's good.
I just want you to be careful."
Rong Zheng took advantage of the situation and said, "Sister, please go to Beijing with us this time.
We have many houses there and can accommodate them."
"Hey, now that I'm gone, who's guarding this place?
I can't bear to leave."
Over the years, Duan Hui has been living with memories.
It's rare for a family to be reunited, with laughter and tears.
As early as two years ago, Princess Duanhui became a layman at home, eating fast and chanting Buddha every day, and no one came to persuade her to remarry.
She went to Yuntai Temple to stay for a period of time every now and then, and her life was very peaceful.
Duan Hui already knew from the letter written by Mu Xuan that Mu Xuan was granted the title of king and Sister Yuan was adopted as an adopted daughter by the queen.

She said with tears in her eyes: "My mother and concubine must be happy in heaven.
After all, our room is not looked down upon by anyone.
It's just Sister Yuan."
Duan Hui said, hugging Sister Yuan's shoulders, and said with some distress: "That's all, there are few people in the world who can be as lucky as her.
I didn't expect that our team could have another princess."
Privately, Duan Hui and Rong Zheng said, "While you are still young, if you have another daughter, I will still help you raise her."
Rongzheng touched her nose in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Well, sister, the queen asked me to say hello to you, and also asked you to come to Beijing to stay for a while.
Princess Ningci misses you very much."
Rongzheng said directly Changed the topic.
Duan Hui asked: "Aunt Youyi, is she okay?"
Rongzheng said: "I often go to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, and it's nice to see her once in a while."
Rongzheng pulled Duanhui and begged: "Sister, let's go to Beijing together to celebrate the New Year and have a warm spring."
How about we go back to Bianliang when we have peace?"
Duan Hui was still a little reluctant and said, "But the winter in the capital is really too cold."
"The earth dragon is burned, and there is a fire kang.
You don't go out much, so it doesn't matter.
The palace has allocated land and it will be built soon.
When the construction is completed, you can move in and live for a while.
You are the only one in Junhua.
A sister.
He is not worried about you staying in Bianliang.
Although the two places are not too far apart, you are getting older and your health is not good.
You have someone to take care of you here.
Now, you can come back to Bianliang anytime."
Why did we say we were staying for a short time, but it turned into a long stay?
This time Duan Hui did not immediately reject Rong Zheng, but solemnly said: "I'll think about it carefully."
Rongzheng saw hope, nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for the good news from my sister."
Another thing she wanted to do when she followed Mu Xuan back to Bianliang this time was to deal with the two shops in Bianliang.
At the same time, she came to pick up Ziying and Zisu's family and go to Beijing together to help her manage the property in Beijing.
Ziying and Zisu meet to pay their respects to Rongzheng.
"Grandma, we have long wanted to follow grandma to the capital.
This time we have decided not to change it."
Rong Zheng said with a smile: "It won't change.
I have also found a place for you to live in the capital.
I will rely on your help in the future."
Zisu and Ziying are both happy and full of yearning for the future.
Rongzheng hadn't returned to Bianliang for almost two years, so she talked to Zisu and Ziying about trivial matters about Bianliang.
Ziying's brother-in-law was still working as an errand in the Rong Mansion.
She knew more about the affairs of the Rong family than Zi Su, so she talked about the affairs of the Rong family with Rong Zheng.
"Two days ago, I heard my brother-in-law talking about my wife and the fifth lady.
He said that the fifth lady had been living at her parents' house for half a month.
The wife got tired of it and kicked her out.
The fifth lady had a falling out with her for some reason.
It's a big fuss.
The wife got angry and got sick again.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The whole house is in chaos."
Rong Zheng knew that twenty years after opening the treasure, his father proposed a marriage to Rong Sheng.
Rong Sheng married not the son of his father's colleague in his previous life, but an ordinary family in Bianliang.
The family's surname was Hu, and he had an only son.
Mr.
Ma despised the poor family and was dissatisfied with his son-in-law in every possible way.
The Hu family's son is an only son, and Hu's mother is very pampered.
Rong Sheng had such a temper that he could only live a good life for a few days a month.
The couple often quarreled, and Rong Sheng would come back to Qingyun Lane every time they quarreled.
After staying for a few days, Hu's mother asked her son to pick her up again.
This cycle starts over and over again.
She had never met Rong Sheng's husband, and she never wanted to have anything to do with this sister in her life.
After listening to Ziying's words, she frowned slightly and said nothing.
Seeing that Rong Zheng was not happy, Ziying simply stopped saying anything.
Mrs.
Xiao Wang came over and said to Rong Zheng: "Princess, the princess said she wants to invite Grandma Cui Qi to come and sit down.
You can decide when the time is right."
Rong Zheng thought for a moment and then said, "Just follow the princess's arrangements."
Xiao Wang said with a smile: "Well, I will go back to the princess right now."
Only then did Zisu and Ziying find out that Rongzheng had done what the princess did, and they both happily kowtowed to Rongzheng to congratulate her.
Rong Zheng smiled and said, "I'm not used to this new identity yet.
Don't be too restrained.
Just be the same as before."
In the evening, Xiao Wang and Rong Zheng mentioned something.
"Princess, do you still remember Mrs.
Liao from Nanyang?"
Rong Zheng said: "Remember, of course I remember, did something happen to their family?"
Xiao Wang said: "I heard that something happened to their in-laws.
Mrs.
Liao was afraid that the Liao family would be implicated, so she was encouraging the brothers of the Liao family to divorce their wives.
You said this is too cool, isn't that right?
Ms.
Jiang also raised a son and a daughter for the Liao family.
Isn’t it pitiful to leave a pair of children when she divorced her?
This Ms.
Jiang did not make any mistakes.
It is really chilling. " When Rong Zheng heard this, he seemed to have seen himself in his previous life, and was speechless for a long time.
Two days later, Fifteen Niang brought Brother Xiang to Qixia Villa to visit Rong Zheng, whom she had not seen for a long time.
Fifteen Niang looked more calm than in the previous two years, and said to Rongzheng, "I'm about to get over it.
Brother Xiang already has a reputation, and he won fourth place in the college examination this year."
Rongzheng hurriedly congratulated Fifteen Niang and said, "It's been hard for you these past few years.
Brother Xiang is not young anymore, so we should get married soon."
The fifteenth mother said: "He said that he is still young and has not made a name for himself, so he dare not propose marriage for him."
"You are quite ambitious.
It will be much better if you have one more person to help you when your wife gets married."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The fifteenth mother nodded and smiled.
Sister Yuan was playing in Taohuawu when Brother Xiang came over.
Sister Yuan saw him, waved to him and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, come here.
Let's go by boat."
Brother Xiang hesitated for a moment before he stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Sister Yuan, and said humbly: "Greetings to the princess."
Sister Yuan's originally smiling face immediately dropped, and she hummed: "What a princess, even you are teasing me.
I ask you, why have you grown so much after not seeing me for more than a year?"
I stood on tiptoe.
I can’t reach you either.”
The maid behind him smiled and said: "Master Cui is growing, so he is changing quickly.
Princess, you will also grow taller in a year or two."
Sister Yuan pointed at Brother Xiang and said, "Don't grow up too fast, otherwise I will have to look up at you next time we meet.
It will be too strenuous."
Brother Xiang responded with a dumbfounded response.
Before he came, his mother told him that there is a difference between superiority and inferiority.
He should be polite when meeting the princess and never be as casual as he was when he was a child.
The boat girl over there had already prepared the boat.
Sister Yuan was brave enough to jump off the boat without help.
"Brother Xiang, come too."
Sister Yuan waved to Brother Xiang.
Rongzheng and Fifteenth Niang were sitting in the room chatting, and suddenly the maid came to report: "Princess, the princess has gone on a boat."
When Rong Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried and said, "Let's go take a look."
Rongzheng and Shifuniang came to the river, and there was indeed a grasshopper boat in the river.
The fifteenth mother took a closer look and saw that the person paddling the boat was not the boat girl.
It turned out to be Sister Yuan and Brother Xiang.
The fifteenth mother was so shocked that she broke into sweat.
Rongzheng frowned and said, "The children are really misbehaving."
He hurriedly ordered those who could swim to watch carefully on the shore.
Fifteen Niang took Brother Xiang to play in Qixia Villa until it got late before going back.
Before leaving, Fifteen Niang quietly handed something to Rong Zheng.
"Please help me pass this on to that person."
Rong Zheng was a little confused and said, "To whom?"
She looked at it and saw that it was a Book of Songs.
The fifteenth mother said: "There is something inside, you can take a look after I leave.
Azheng, in the early years you tried to persuade me, but I didn't listen to a word.
Over the years, I have always had a knot in my heart, until one day I turned over At this point, I understand everything in my heart.
Master Cui is also worried that he won't be able to express it until he dies.
As long as she sees it, he will understand everything."
Rong Zheng had vaguely guessed what it was.
She handed the Book of Songs into the hands of Princess Duanhui.
Duan Hui was puzzled.
Rong Zheng said: "This is what the fifteenth mother asked me to give to my sister.
If my sister reads it, maybe she will understand."
Duan Hui sat under the lampstand in front of Rong Zheng and opened the thick Book of Songs.
The sentences in it were all poems she had read when she was a child.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Finally on a certain page, her movements stopped.
Rong Zheng looked along the candlelight and saw a piece of paper sandwiched between the pages.
Duan Hui unfolded the paper, and a young woman of fifteen or sixteen years old was drawn on it.
She looked at the portrait for a long time without saying anything, until tears rolled down her face.
Rong Zheng glanced at the poem next to it, and it happened to be that one: "Jian Jia is green, white dew is frost.
The so-called beauty is on the side of the water."
"Azheng, my sister said she is willing to go to Beijing with us."
Rongzheng said happily: "This is great."
Mu Xuan frowned and said, "Why doesn't Shangzhou say anything?
Over the years, he has kept everything in his heart.
I will go see him tomorrow and I will give him a good scolding."
Rong Zheng said: "Don't scold him.
Those years were not easy for him."
Mu Xuan hugged Rong Zheng and said, "I know.
Azheng, I will treat you twice as well from now on."
Rong Zheng glanced at him in surprise.
Mu Xuan said: "While we are still young and together, I want to give you the best things in the world.
Then there will be no regrets in the future."
Rong Zheng understands that the most beautiful thing in the world is when two people have the same mind.
She spent two lifetimes and finally met the person in front of her.
She changed herself, and she changed him.
No matter what happens in the future, she will firmly go on with him.
