Three hundred and twentieth chapters palace affairs
The new emperor came to Huangjue Temple in person, and all the monks in the temple came out to greet him.
The Queen Mother led the female family members out. When she saw that the new emperor in dragon robe was the King of Jin, her eyes flashed and she silently stepped aside, revealing Jiang Changning following behind.
"Empress, I'm here to pick you up." The new emperor smiled.
Jiang Changning saluted and said, "I have met Your Majesty and would like to extend my greetings to Your Majesty."
"Still so polite." The new emperor smiled and stepped forward to help her up. "The matter is settled. Ning Ning will follow me back to the palace."
"Okay." Jiang Changning put her hand in his, and the new emperor personally escorted her onto the phoenix chariot.
When the new emperor sat down on the dragon chariot, Chang Youzhong said loudly: "Get up and drive back to the palace."
"Best farewell to Your Majesty, and farewell to the Queen." Everyone saluted.
Jiang Changning has not yet been canonized and is not considered a queen yet, but the new emperor has already called her the empress, so she is definitely the empress.
But she is a step-mother, so it is unknown whether the new emperor will pursue the title of his first wife?
But even if she is granted a posthumous title, it is just a tablet and will not affect her status.
Jiang Changning directly followed the new emperor into the palace and temporarily stayed in Tiancheng Palace.
After the new emperor finished handling the affairs of the previous dynasty, he issued the first decree regarding the harem, which was to order the Ministry of Industry to repair Qiyuan Palace from now on.
The second decree was to repair Zhongjing Palace and change the name of the palace to Ciren Palace. It was obvious that this palace was for the former Jin Dynasty Princess to live.
The Queen Mother returned to the palace and saw Emperor Xun who was still alive. She was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Shen'er, you're awake!"
After Emperor Xun ascended the throne, the Queen Mother named him Helian Shenyi.
"Mother, my son is very good." The little emperor smiled easily.
He worked very hard as an emperor. Those collections of classics and histories, the art of emperors, and major political affairs made him miserable and exhausted.
King Qing rebelled, and he was actually quite happy. King Jin was willing to become emperor, and he was even happier. He was finally handed over the heavy responsibility of governing the country.
"Let's go to Fushou Palace." said the Queen Mother.
She was going to ask the Empress Dowager why she wanted to collude with Prince Qing?
There were more than a dozen guards with swords standing outside Fushou Palace. When they saw the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xun, they saluted and said, "I have met the Madam and I have met the Young Master."
"The young master and I want to go in and see the old lady, is that okay?" the Queen Mother changed her title.
"Madam, please." The guard stepped aside.
The Queen Mother and Emperor Xun entered the Fushou Palace. The palace was very quiet. They didn't meet any maids along the way. It seemed that the new emperor had dismissed many people.
Also, the Empress Dowager loved to have fun, and the number of people she served around her had long exceeded the number set by Emperor Taizu.
Due to etiquette, she could not restrain the Empress Dowager on such trivial matters, but now that the dynasty had changed, the Empress Dowager was no longer the Empress Dowager, and she could no longer live a luxurious life.
The Queen Mother's mood suddenly improved. When she entered the apse, she saw the Queen Mother wearing wrinkled clothes and looking listless.
She didn't salute and asked directly: "Why do you do this?"
The Empress Dowager did not answer her question, but looked at Emperor Xun angrily, "Why don't you die? You actually gave up your ancestral country to others, how can you be worthy of your father?"
"If he dies, the country still needs to be replaced." The Queen Mother said coldly before the Emperor Xun could do it.
The Empress Dowager stared at her and breathed heavily. She had never liked this daughter-in-law.
"Don't look at me like that. When you colluded with Prince Qing to seize the throne, you should have thought that Prince Jin would pick the fruit." The Queen Mother no longer had the slightest respect for this mother-in-law.
"You are already the Empress Dowager, aren't you satisfied?"
"Don't you want to be the queen?"
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "Why not?
Emperor Xun was shocked. He really didn't expect his grandmother to have such ambitions.
The Queen Mother chuckled, "You really overestimate your capabilities. You still want to be the Queen. You have no talents and no military power. How can you secure the throne?"
"Grandma, the King of Jin has proclaimed himself emperor. He has rewarded me with a large mansion. If you come out of the palace with me, I will take good care of you." Emperor Xun said sincerely.
"Leaving the palace? I won't leave the palace." said the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother chuckled again, "Whether you can leave the palace or not is not your decision."
"I am the Empress Dowager. Let me see who dares to force me to leave the palace." The Empress Dowager said proudly.
At this time, a burst of noise came from outside the hall.
Then they saw Concubine Song and others being escorted in by the guards. The leader of the guards told them, "Please stay in Fushou Palace temporarily until the renovation of the house is completed before leaving the palace."
"Go and ask He Lianyu to come. I want to see him." The Empress Dowager said loudly.
The commander of the guards did not hear anything and left with the guards.
"Shut up, everyone." The Queen Mother was so noisy by what the women were saying that her brain hurt.
After a moment of silence, Concubine Song Taigui said disdainfully: "Why are you so arrogant? You are no longer the Queen Mother."
"Even if I am not the Queen Mother, to ordinary people, I am my legitimate wife and you are my concubine." The Queen Mother smiled evilly, "Concubines are in business. Do you think that if I sell you, will the Song family buy you?"
"How dare you!" Concubine Song Taigui said with a stern look and an innocent look on her face.
The Queen Mother sat down on the chair, straightened her skirt slowly, and then slowly said: "You can give it a try and see if I dare?"
Concubine Song was so honest that the others did not dare to say anything and found a place to sit down in a polite manner.
The Queen Mother restrained these people and did not allow them to leave Fushou Palace, but Jiang Changning, who was busy handling palace affairs, ignored them for the time being.
Jiang Changning had been busy all day. After she took a bath, her fatigue was slightly relieved. She leaned half on the soft bed and closed her eyes to rest.
Xiaochun took a dry handkerchief and wiped her hair.
At this time, the voices of palace people greeting the new emperor came from outside the palace.
Jiang Changning opened his eyes, then closed them again after a moment.
When the new emperor came in, what he saw was a picture of a beauty sleeping in spring. He smiled slightly and waved Xiaochun to leave, and he personally wiped her hair.
It wasn't the first time he wiped her hair, but it was the first time he became emperor.
In the past few days, the couple had been busy with matters concerning the former court and the harem, and had never met each other.
Jiang Changning pretended to be awakened by him, "Your Majesty..."
"Ning Ning, you forgot what I said again, you must be punished." The new emperor picked up Jiang Changning and walked to the inner hall.
"Yong Zhou, I was wrong. Isn't it okay that I was wrong?" Jiang Changning said quickly.
This man is already a glutton, and now he has been a vegetarian for so many days. Can she, a little fish, still see the sun tomorrow?
Just when the couple was loving each other, a carriage drove into the back door of the Anding Marquis Mansion.
Marquis Anding and his wife looked at their daughter getting off the carriage, their brows furrowed so hard they could kill mosquitoes.
"Dad, mother." Mrs. Pu called with a tearful voice.
"Silence." Marquis Anding said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Pu pursed her lips and said, "Mom, look at dad, as soon as I came back, he was mean to me and I got angry."
Mrs. Anding Hou sighed softly, "Master, go and talk in the room."
