Chapter 365: It’s not their turn to interfere in our family affairs
After leaving the cold palace, Jiang Ruo felt refreshed.
She looked at the huge palace and asked in a low voice, "As the ruler of a country, you can't live in Xihe Palace. Where do you plan to choose your bedroom?"
Xiao Chengjin curled the corners of his lips, "Ruoruo, I have already chosen a location for my bedroom. It's very close to the Golden Throne Hall."
"Once the repairs are completed, we'll move there."
Anyway, he won't live in the Yangxin Palace...
"Manager Lin, remember to arrange for the renovation of Yongning Palace and rename it Yongle Palace. From now on, it will be the bedroom for me and the Empress."
Upon hearing this, Chief Steward Lin said with a smile, "I obey your command!"
Jiang Ruo: What the hell?
And live in a palace?
Do I still have personal freedom?
Jiang Ruo looked towards the harem and complained inwardly: Such a big harem is a bit of a waste.
Xiao Chengjin looked at Jiang Ruo's expression and knew what she was thinking.
"Ruoruo, I have been alone since I was young, and I don't want to live a lonely life anymore."
"Besides, when we were in Jizhou, you promised me that you wouldn't share a room with me..."
Before he could even utter the word "sleep", Jiang Ruo gave Xiao Chengjin a glare to stop him.
Is it appropriate to say these things in public?
Xiao Chengjin raised the corners of his lips slightly and added, "We must live together."
Jiang Ruo blinked and pointed in the direction of the harem, "Where is the harem?"
Xiao Chengjin slowly uttered two words: "Abolish, eliminate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon chariot shook slightly.
The young eunuchs carrying the dragon chariot understood from the word "abolition" that the emperor wanted to favor the queen alone.
But, can the emperor do what he said?
I always feel a little bit uncertain...
Jiang Ruo covered her lips and smiled, saying with a hint of meaning: "Tell me, if you do this, will the ministers..."
It can be imagined that if this dog man proposed to abolish the harem, he would definitely become the target of criticism from the ministers.
What about being jealous, seducing the monarch, and causing chaos in the court...
Haha, she is not afraid, she is just narrow-minded!
Xiao Chengjin snorted coldly, "It's none of their business to interfere in our family affairs!"
On the day of the Queen's coronation ceremony, she explained it directly to all the officials...and put an end to their thoughts.
Dare to object?
Pack up your belongings and go home.
When the dragon chariot arrived near Xihe Palace, a young eunuch walked over hurriedly.
"Your servant greets His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress."
"No need to be polite." Xiao Chengjin looked at the somewhat uneasy eunuch and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"
The young eunuch shuddered again when he heard Xiao Chengjin's tone.
He lowered his head and said with a hint of trepidation, "In reply to the Emperor, the Minister of Rites, Lord Wu, requests an audience."
Oh my god! This new emperor is so scary, my legs are a little weak...
Jiang Ruo noticed that the young eunuch was a little afraid of Xiao Chengjin, so she tugged at his sleeve and said, "Behave yourself."
Xiao Chengjin shook Jiang Ruo's hand, and restrained his expression slightly, "Tell Master Wu to wait in the imperial study."
"I obey your order!"
"I'll take my leave." As the young eunuch bowed and left, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Phew, mission accomplished!
Jiang Ruo looked at the eunuch's departing figure and said, "Your Majesty, I will return to Xihe Palace first. You can go and take care of government affairs!"
Xiao Chengjin took Jiang Ruo's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, "Ruoruo, I want cold noodles and fruit ice for lunch."
Manager Lin and Dongxue subconsciously covered their faces, looking as if they couldn't bear to watch.
Your Majesty, please remember your current identity.
Also, could you please be more reserved...
After hearing these words, the eunuchs who were carrying the dragon chariot felt their legs go weak.
Was the Emperor acting coquettishly with the Queen just now?
Jiang Ruo noticed the dragon chariot shake slightly, and he knew what these young eunuchs were thinking.
She curled her lips slightly and replied pretentiously: "Okay, I will prepare lunch according to the emperor's request and personally deliver it to the imperial study."
Seeing this, Manager Lin quickly waved his hand and whispered, "Get off the sedan!"
The dragon chariot landed smoothly.
After Xiao Chengjin helped Jiang Ruo get off the dragon chariot, he looked reluctant to leave.
"Ruoruo, I'll be waiting for you in the imperial study."
Jiang Ruo held his forehead helplessly, "Your Majesty, it's important to deal with government affairs."
"By the way, I remind you, don't forget the imperial decree granting marriage to my aunt and the old man."
"I'll take my leave!" Jiang Ruo said quickly, and then said to Dongxue, "Dongxue, let's go back to Xihe Palace."
Seeing this, Dongxue quickly bowed to Xiao Chengjin and said, "I'll take my leave!"
"Ruoruo..." Xiao Chengjin looked at Jiang Ruo who didn't even turn her head, and his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
Logically speaking, shouldn't there be a kiss?
Why is it gone?
The young eunuchs were completely stunned...
The emperor is a bit clingy!
Looking at the queen, she seemed a little annoyed.
Chief Steward Lin looked at Xiao Chengjin's useless appearance and reminded him, "Your Majesty, Master Wu is still waiting in the Imperial Study!"
"Set up the imperial study." Xiao Chengjin turned around and got on the dragon chariot.
Chief Steward Lin curled his lips and shouted at the top of his voice, "Get going!"
Xiao Chengjin turned his head to look at Jiang Ruo's back, thinking aggrievedly: This throne is such a burden.
However, it's okay to suffer a little for the sake of the people you want to protect.
Alas, in the end, I had to bear it all...
Outside the imperial study.
After the young eunuch came back, Lord Wu paced back and forth outside the imperial study.
The Ministry of Rites was extremely busy because of the preparations for the coronation ceremony and the empress-conferring ceremony.
When Lord Wu caught sight of the slowly approaching dragon chariot, he quickly stood still.
The dragon chariot landed and Xiao Chengjin strode over.
Lord Wu stepped forward, knelt, and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor."
"Lord Wu, please stand up and follow me to the imperial study!" Xiao Chengjin said, and walked directly into the imperial study.
Lord Wu lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." After standing up, he followed with his head lowered and his eyes submissive.
After Xiao Chengjin entered the imperial study, he looked at the newly decorated room and nodded with satisfaction.
He sat down at the table and said to Chief Steward Lin, "Give Sir Wu a seat."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, Chief Steward Lin winked at the two young eunuchs.
Two young eunuchs swiftly brought a seat.
Lord Wu looked at the seat, bowed to Xiao Chengjin and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."
Xiao Chengjin looked at Lord Wu, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and raised his eyebrows.
He asked in a deep voice, "Sir Wu, you are here today for the coronation and coronation ceremony."
Lord Wu nodded slightly, "I'd like to ask, what are the Emperor's requirements for the coronation and coronation ceremonies?"
Xiao Chengjin curled his lips and said, "Master Wu, for me, the coronation ceremony is secondary. The most important thing is the ceremony of crowning the empress."
Upon hearing this, Lord Wu frowned slightly.
The emperor meant: focus on holding the ceremony of conferring the empress.
He stood up, bowed and said, "Your humble servant obeys your command."
Xiao Chengjin waved his hand, "Master Wu, please step down!"
I also have to write an imperial decree to my father-in-law granting me marriage...
"I'll take my leave." Lord Wu bowed.
Xiao Chengjin stood up and took out a bright yellow blank scroll from the secret compartment.
Seeing this, Chief Steward Lin quickly ground his ink and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince Consort will surely be very happy when he receives the imperial decree granting the marriage."
The moment Xiao Chengjin sat down, Ning Jinghuai's face suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Manager Lin, arrange for someone to go to the Duke's Mansion and ask Prince Xuanning to come see me."
Good things come in pairs, so I wrote the imperial decree granting Ning Jinghuai’s marriage together.
I also need to send imperial edicts to various states, send news to my uncle, and send imperial edicts to neighboring countries...
Haha, Xiaofeng, thank you for your hard work in running errands.
"I obey your command!"
Chief Steward Lin hurried out of the Imperial Study and called over the eunuch who was waiting nearby. "Go to the Duke's Mansion. The Emperor has summoned Prince Ning to an audience."
"As you command." The young eunuch took the order and left in a hurry.
Manager Lin suddenly thought of Xiao Mocheng who was pretending to be crazy.
He turned back to the imperial study and stood by the desk, continuing to grind ink...
After Xiao Chengjin finished writing the imperial edict granting the marriage, he said in a servile tone, "Your Majesty, the deposed Crown Prince is 'mad'. I would like to go to the Eastern Palace with the Imperial Physician."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay."
"Before going to the Eastern Palace, first send the imperial edict granting marriage to the princess's residence."
Manager Lin was immediately overjoyed, "I obey your command."
He arranged all the affairs in the imperial study, and then went to the cold palace in person to arrange for the concubines to leave the palace.
Manager Lin secretly thought: I just took office and I'm already so busy...
But I really like this feeling of being busy.
The Duke's Mansion.
Ning Jinghuai, who was strolling back and forth in the yard, felt secretly delighted when he saw the doorman leading the palace servants towards him.
Could it be that the Emperor Xiao summoned me?
He restrained his expression, pretended nothing had happened and walked out.
The young eunuch saw Ning Jinghuai and bowed, "This servant greets Prince Ning."
Ning Jinghuai coughed lightly, "No need to be polite!"
"Prince Ning, the emperor summons you to the imperial study." The young eunuch stated the purpose of his visit directly.
"Okay, I will go to the palace soon." Ning Jinghuai suppressed his excitement.
After completing the task, the young eunuch bowed and said, "I will return to the palace to report."
"Hello!"
Ning Jinghuai looked at the little eunuch's departing back and felt very happy.
Xiao Chengjin summoned me, it must be about arranging a marriage.
His mother-in-law has already agreed to his marriage with Yan'er, and his father-in-law will definitely agree.
Haha, entering the palace...
