Feng Yulin looked at his insincere smile and pursed her lips.
Three days later, Ryan's child sat on the dragon throne.
On the eve of the full moon banquet, the old wise king brought the late emperor's will and the oriental seal, and Shangguan Yu blocked Emperor Qianyuan in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, tomorrow is the Crown Prince's full moon banquet. Should we draft the abdication edict tonight?"
"Uncle, I will read out the abdication edict to all the ministers in the court the day after tomorrow and support Ayi to take the throne. I will not go back on my word!"
"Feng Yanzhi." Shangguan Yu pulled him away with an anxious look on his face and whispered, "Hurry up and draft the decree. Feng Yulin is getting married now, and he's using the late emperor's will to take back the throne. I'm using the Dongjun royal family's 100,000-strong army to put pressure on him and make him give up this idea for the time being. If you keep dithering, the old virtuous king will force the palace to read out your father's will!"
Emperor Qianyuan looked back at the old wise king holding the golden dragon rosewood box that his father used to store imperial edicts, and his heart tightened.
No wonder Feng Yulin was indifferent to the throne before, it was just that he was single.
Now he wants to take back the throne for the sake of Gu's daughter!
Where does he put Ruian?
Wasn't he fond of Ruian, so fond of him that he planned to help Ayi take the throne?
It seems that his affection is fake. Isn't it the same as him that I fall in love with every girl I meet?
"Don't look at it anymore. Quickly draft the abdication edict, and also draft the edict passing the throne to Ayi, and hand them over to me for safekeeping. With these two imperial edicts, I can legitimately stop Feng Yulin!"
Emperor Qianyuan glanced at Shangguan Yu and handed the child over to him for safekeeping. Wouldn't his life be in his hands tonight?
Emperor Qianyuan turned and came to the old virtuous king and the Eastern Seal, "Uncle, I can draft an edict, but the late emperor's will must be burned tonight."
The old virtuous king nodded and said, "Two imperial edicts have been prepared. The emperor will personally read them out in front of all the ministers the day after tomorrow, confirming that Ayi is on the throne. The uncle will personally destroy them in front of you."
Emperor Qianyuan did not hesitate and ordered Li Haiying to bring two blank imperial edicts...
After the Old Wise King and others left, Emperor Qianyuan let out a breath of foul air.
Afterwards, he drafted two imperial edicts for him and Empress Dowager Du.
On the day of Xiaowu's full moon, Gu Yunshu covered her face and entered the palace with the Eastern Seal.
"Rui'an, Feng Yanzhi has already written the abdication edict. You don't need to hide your face when entering the palace."
A fierce look flashed in Gu Yunshu's eyes: "Don't let Feng Yanzhi see my true face before we get married."
Feng Yanzhi had to wait until she gave birth to his senior brother's child after seeing her true face, as he would be close to death by then.
Dongfang Seal shook her hand and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
A long queue had formed at the palace gate, and palace servants including Li Haiying checked the names of officials and their relatives before letting them into the palace one by one.
When the carriage from the prince's mansion arrived at the palace gate, Bai Yi drove directly into the palace, making the officials who were still queuing very envious.
Emperor Qianyuan and Empress Dowager Du came to the Eastern Palace early and were coaxing Xiaowu.
"Xiao Wu, this is the little bell with the golden dragon playing with a pearl that Grandfather gave you. Do you like it?"
Emperor Qianyuan shook the small bell in front of Xiaowu, and the sound made Xiaowu babble happily.
Xiaowu stretched out his two little hands to grab it, and Emperor Qianyuan hung the small bell on Xiaowu's fingers.
Xiao Wu imitated what Emperor Qianyuan had done just now and shook the little bell. When he heard the bell, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.
He happily jingled the little bell and refused to let go.
"Mother, Xiaowu likes me very much. Look how happy he is."
The four Su brothers and sisters outside the door looked at each other after hearing this.
Could it be that Xiaowu really likes the Emperor and the Queen Mother?
Xiao Xier whispered, "When we were so young, how could we understand whether it was liked or not? We will understand it when we grow up."
When the three brothers heard this, they remembered that when Xiao Xier was still crawling on the ground, she was just like Xiao Wu. If they gave her a grasshopper made of leaves, she would be happy all day long.
"Sister, do you still like the grasshopper that big brother made for you?"
Xiao Xier chuckled, "The gifts given by big brother are all carefully prepared. Of course I like them."
At this time, a palace attendant's voice was heard outside, announcing loudly, "Prince Dehe, Miss Gu Yunshu of the Gu family has arrived."
"Master, Master!" The four brothers and sisters greeted them happily.
Emperor Qianyuan hurriedly stood up and followed him out. He wanted to see with his own eyes what was so special about Gu Yunshu that made Feng Yulin want to take back the throne?
"Stop!" Empress Dowager Du called him back. "You are still in power. You are the emperor and he is the minister. How can you go to greet him in person?"
Emperor Qianyuan felt that what Empress Dowager Du said made sense. As long as he was in power, Feng Yulin would always be his subject.
Soon, the four brothers and sisters entered the main hall with the Oriental Seal and Gu Yunshu.
"Greetings to the Emperor, and to the Empress Dowager." Feng Yulin bowed slightly, saluted the two, and then stood up.
"I, the humble servant Gu Yunshu, pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager." Gu Yunshu lowered her head and bowed to Emperor Qianyuan and Empress Dowager Du.
Gu Yunshu did not ignore the two of them like Dongfang Yinzhang did, and maintained a bowing posture.
Dongfang Yinzhang was reluctant to let Gu Yunshu suffer, so he helped her up without waiting for Emperor Qianyuan to ask for permission.
Gu Yunshu still kept her head down.
Emperor Qianyuan looked at her figure and his heart trembled.
If he had known that Gu Yunshu looked like this... he would have taken her into his harem long ago!
It turned out to be a good deal for Feng Yulin!
hateful!
Empress Dowager Du looked at her figure, her brows slightly furrowed, then quickly relaxed.
What’s the point of having a good figure if you can’t conceive?
"I have heard that the men of the Gu family, the richest family in the capital, are as handsome as Pan An, and their daughters are even more beautiful than fish and geese. Raise your head and let me take a closer look."
At this time, Su Xingyi and Xiao Lingyu came to the main hall and greeted the two of them.
"Ayi, Xiao Yu'er, please stop being polite."
Su Xing saw that Gu Yunshu had put on makeup to conceal her face, and he felt relieved and pulled Xiao Lingyu aside to stand aside.
"Miss Gu?" Empress Dowager Du called again.
"Empress Dowager, these are just rumors from outside, don't take them seriously." Gu Yunshu slowly raised her head and looked at the two people in the first position.
"You are really beautiful. No wonder Yulin wants to marry you." Empress Dowager Du felt that it was a pity that Gu Yunshu, who was so young and beautiful, married Feng Yulin but could not have children.
Emperor Qianyuan looked at her eyes, which resembled Shangguan Ruian's, and understood.
Feng Yulin married Gu Yunshu only because he liked her eyes!
This is treating a good girl as a substitute for Shangguan Ruian. Isn't this ruining her?
Emperor Qianyuan despised Feng Yulin, but at the same time he felt unwilling to accept it.
Why didn't he take Gu Yunshu into the palace?
"Brother, you really want to marry the eldest daughter of the Gu family, not..."
"This prince sincerely wishes to marry Miss Gu. I will dote on her and protect her thoroughly. Your Majesty, please do not worry about whether this prince and Miss Gu will be happy together. The time has come, and Xiaowu's full moon ceremony can begin..."
