Since the farce in the Golden Palace, Emperor Jun Linzhou's health has deteriorated, and he has become increasingly powerless to govern the country.
In the thirty-seventh year of Canglan, the Crown Prince was deposed for his inaction, and Emperor Jun Linzhou, due to illness, was no longer able to govern and abdicated, passing the throne to the eldest prince, Jun Wuji.
In that year, the eldest prince, Jun Wuji, ascended the throne as emperor, and the reign title was Bei.
After ascending the throne, he dispatched troops to repeatedly defeat border countries.
At the end of the same year, the border countries submitted to Canglan in exchange for opening trade routes and paying annual tribute to Canglan.
They requested to restore friendly relations with the Canglan Kingdom, and promised never to wage war against Canglan again, and to maintain a friendly relationship with Canglan for a hundred years.
Canglan once again ushered in a prosperous new era, with the emperor granting a general amnesty and the whole country rejoicing!
Inside the Imperial Study of Canglan Palace.
On the fine sandalwood table, Jun Wuji held a wolf-hair brush, splashing ink as he spoke, his narrow eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Di Beiyao sat on a soft couch to Jun Wuji's lower right, holding a fluffy white Persian cat in his arms.
This cat is a purebred Persian cat, entirely white with not a single stray hair.
It was a tribute from a small border country, and she was delighted. Jun Wuji then had it given to her to play with.
After glancing at her husband's furious writing, Di Beiyao silently turned his head away.
Jun Wuji looks exactly like she did when she first ascended the throne.
The memorials piled up from morning till night every day. Just when you've finally finished reviewing them, dawn breaks, and it's time to go to the morning court session again.
Thinking of this, Di Beiyao couldn't help but shudder. "Damn it, the past is too painful to recall!"
A weight suddenly appeared on her shoulder, and she realized she was wearing a fox fur cloak. She looked up at the man beside her.
Jun Wuji reached out his large hand and ruffled Di Beiyao's hair.
"The weather is cold. If you feel cold, my lady, please go back to your bedchamber to rest. There's no need for you to stay here with me."
Di Beiyao got up and snuggled into Jun Wuji's arms, nuzzling his head against him.
"No, I want to sleep with my husband."
Actually, the bed was too big, and she was very afraid of getting cold, while Jun Wuji was always like a heater; sleeping with him in her arms was better than anything else.
"But I still have many memorials to review, so I'm afraid it will have to wait until later."
Jun Wuji felt somewhat helpless. He shouldn't have become emperor; now, he had no time to spend with his little one.
Di Beiyao blinked, glanced at the mountain of memorials, and struggled internally for a moment.
"How about I help you with the approval process?" Di Beiyao finally gritted his teeth. Sigh, it's too difficult, all for her human heater.
She would reluctantly help him if Jun Wuji didn't mind.
After all, emperors generally disliked the harem interfering in state affairs.
Jun Wuji's expression didn't change at all; on the contrary, he seemed extremely pleased.
He even picked up a wolf-hair brush and handed it to Di Beiyao.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam. Please, Madam."
Di Beiyao "..."
Why did she have this feeling of being tricked? Jun Wuji's attitude made her seriously suspect that he had been waiting for her to say that for a long time.
...
Fine, so that she can hold him warmly and comfortably as soon as possible and drift off to sleep, she'll just have to make this sacrifice.
And so, the Emperor and Empress of our Canglan Kingdom sat side by side at the sandalwood table in the imperial study.
Each held a fine wolf-hair brush, engrossed in reviewing the mountain of memorials.
The scene was quite harmonious!
However, in the words of the Empress, they are: a pair of unfortunate people!
It was one thing to be diligent and hardworking as an empress a thousand years ago, but to be a queen a thousand years later still requires the same diligence.
It's so hard for her! So hard!
