Chapter 1205 Zen

For the Emperor of Great Chu, this was just a hasty matter, but for Yu Congjinhe and Xie Mingxue, this was a great thing.

Xie Mingxue's second half of life can be said to have finally found a place to stay.

Xie Mingxue's purpose of entering the palace was not simple.

She knew that if she cowered behind Xie Mingfang, she would be shackled by her for the rest of her life.

So when Princess Yong'an asked her, she hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision.

She wanted to enter the palace, she wanted to become the princess's tutor, she wanted to improve her status.

She wants to find a better husband.

Now that she has done it, she is very happy.

But it's not just the Xie family. Now everyone in the palace who is studying in the Yuezhang Hall looks at her with disdain.

Especially those companions who enter the palace.

If Xie Mingxue got into trouble, it could be considered a slander against all of them.

I am afraid that everyone outside now thinks that these companions selected into the palace this time are all of bad character.

No matter how much people disliked her, there was nothing they could do.

Now that Xie Mingxue has been betrothed, according to palace rules, she can no longer stay in the palace as a companion.

Even if I wanted to give her a beating, I couldn't.

But with Xie Mingxue's departure, the position of the eighth princess's tutor became vacant.

After Lu Xingru learned about this, he just sighed and said, "Forget it. You don't have to bother looking for a study partner for me. This is good enough."

Maybe, this is her fate!

On the Xie family's side, although Mr. Xie was furious when he heard that Xie Mingxue had done something that brought shame upon the family, he was furious.

But since she had received the marriage from His Majesty, and her husband, Cong Jin, was a third-rank imperial guard, Lord Xie was relieved.

In any case, this Congjin has a high status in the palace, and he is highly appreciated by His Majesty. Given time, he will surely rise to prominence.

Even if he was only a third-rank official in the future, marrying a concubine's daughter like Xie Mingxue would still be considered marrying up for the Xie family.

Therefore, although the Xie family was dissatisfied with Xie Mingxue's secret meeting with Congjin in the palace, after weighing the pros and cons, they did not make things too difficult for her.

Since he had already decided with Lu Xingwan to leave the mortal world and go to Xuantian Gate, Lu Jingming was very anxious these days.

But Lu Xingwan suddenly relaxed.

Since the eldest senior brother has sent the news that Master has woken up, it means that Master is in good health.

Now, what happened between Xie Mingxue and Cong Jin is huge gossip!

She certainly didn't want to miss it.

So she comforted the eldest senior brother a little, and just told him to stay and see how the matter between Xie Mingxue and Congjin would be decided in the end.

Their journey was naturally delayed.

Because Lu Xingwan was busy investigating Xie Mingxue's affairs and preparing to return to Xianshan, she did not notice that her mother was acting strangely during this period.

During this period, my mother was eerily quiet.

In the past, my mother was just like me, and she was very concerned about the gossip in the palace.

Whenever there was any movement in the palace, she would always rush forward with great interest.

But now, she just responded with a few words with a faint expression.

It seems like I have no interest in anything.

It was not until the matter between Xie Mingxue and Congjin was settled that Lu Xingwan realized that something was wrong with his mother.

However, before she could study it in detail, news of an earth-shattering event came from the court.

This incident not only shocked the former dynasty, nor just the harem, but the entire imperial palace, the entire territory of the Great Chu State, and even the entire world.

All in all, this day was just an ordinary day.

To be more special, it might be called an auspicious day.

However, at the morning court session that day, although the Emperor of Great Chu looked calm as usual, he announced an order that no one had expected.

He wants Zen.

This is a shocking event.

As soon as the Emperor of Great Chu said this, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

But the Emperor of Great Chu was not angry. He just narrated the growth and transformation of the prince over the years in the court.

Now the prince can arrange all the affairs of the court in an orderly manner, and the Great Chu State is becoming more and more prosperous.

"I have worked so hard for the country of Chu these years, and now I don't have the energy I used to have. I just feel exhausted."

"Besides, the Crown Prince is truly my favorite, so now that I feel I can no longer bear the responsibility of being an emperor, I should hand over this land to the next generation."

As soon as the Emperor of Great Chu said this, the court was in an uproar.

Just now they even suspected that it was His Majesty's test of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again.

I didn't expect it to be true.

The ministers looked at each other, some with astonishment on their faces, some with flickering eyes.

In short, they were all speculating about the future changes in the court.

When this news reached the harem, the concubines there were also a little panicked.

But they calmed down quickly.

Your Majesty's meditation is actually a good thing for them.

If Your Majesty abdicates and the Crown Prince inherits the throne, although they will be canonized as Consorts Dowager, their status and treatment will always be better than before.

It's just that some young concubines became imperial concubines at such a young age, which is a bit regrettable after all.

However, there is an unwritten rule in the great Chu State.

Some concubines may be released from the palace.

Naturally, most of these concubines who left the palace were childless.

As long as the new emperor allows, they can leave the palace, return to their parents' home, or find a place of their own. In short, they will be free again.

If this is possible, it would be best.

But after all, it was a matter of the previous dynasty, and no one dared to discuss it too much, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem did not dare to make any loud noises.

Naturally, this incident soon caused heated discussions on the streets.

In fact, the prince has been in power for a long time, but it has no influence on the people.

But everyone is always happy when a new emperor ascends the throne.

It seems that this meditation will open a new chapter in the history of the Great Chu State.

To be honest, the sudden announcement of this matter in the court by the Emperor of Great Chu was a bit hasty.

Meditation can be said to be the biggest thing in a country.

Of course, an auspicious day must be chosen whether for the announcement or the ceremony.

Moreover, the Emperor of Great Chu had detained the Crown Prince for treason a few days ago, but now his mood has changed so quickly.

And Lu Xingwan also found out at this time why her mother had been acting so strangely during this period.

I'm afraid my mother has already known about this.

It turns out that the matter that my father came to Qingyun Palace to discuss with my mother was about this matter.

Lu Xingwan was a little surprised.

Isn't it too quick for father to figure this out?

Lu Xingwan hesitated for a long time, and finally entered his mother's palace.

For some reason, she suddenly felt very awkward, as if she didn't know how to face her mother.

Obviously, the current ending is what they wanted.
