"No, there are better ways than this." Xie Jian embraced Chen Heng and said gently, "Ah Heng, when the dust settles, you promised me that we would be together for the rest of our lives, sharing three meals a day and four sunsets."
Chen Heng hugged him tightly and said, "I will never break my promise."
In June, the emperor issued a self-blame edict, saying that he was immoral and incompetent, which led to chaos, rampant evil, and unrest in the world.
At that time, another abdication decree was issued, stating that the throne was not permanent and would only be passed to the virtuous Si Qi, head of the great Si clan. He quelled the crisis and allowed the royal family to continue. For the sake of the world and the people's popularity, he respected the will of heaven and solemnly accepted the mandate of heaven.
Since then, as Si Qi, three pushes and three concessions are necessary.
When Liu Tang asked for the fourth time, Si Qi took the throne reluctantly and promised that Liu Tang and his descendants could still live in the palace, enjoy the treatment of an emperor, and be named King Changliu.
In this regard, Prince Changliu Liu Tang was quite sensible. He moved out of the palace that same day and temporarily lived in a royal villa outside the city.
In July, there was a ceremony to crown the Queen. After the ceremony, as usual, the ladies of honor would meet and greet each other in the afternoon.
Chen Heng had predicted this day several months ago, but when she actually saw Liu Zhiyue become the queen, she still sighed at the fate.
Who would believe you if you said she wasn't a maiden from another dimension or the chosen one?
Chen Heng wondered if she was just a tool for Liu Zhiyue to ascend to the throne. Otherwise, why was she so ordinary?
"Stand up." Liu Zhiyue sat upright on the phoenix throne, her stately court attire and the slight distance on her face creating a faint sense of oppression. She looked down at the court ladies below her. Some were her friends from her youth, some friendly, some hostile. Regardless of the type, they all saluted her with trepidation.
Only Chen Heng was in a daze at this time?
"Thank you, Queen."
The happiest person was Liu Xinyue. Who would have known that her cousin would have such good fortune.
"I'm a little tired, you all can go back." After the process was over, Liu Zhiyue was too lazy to reminisce with these people, so she asked them to leave, leaving only Chen Heng and Liu Xinyue.
After changing out of their court robes, the three of them went for a walk in the imperial garden.
Liu Xinyue took her cousin's hand and said, "I don't care. You must ask the emperor to transfer Ouyang back. I still want to give him another child."
"You've been talking more and more outrageously these past few days. Okay, I'll tell the emperor tonight." Liu Zhiyue had a very close relationship with this cousin, and she cherished this friendship.
Liu Xinyue took a step back and bowed: "Thank you, Queen."
The two smiled at each other.
Liu Zhiyue turned and looked at Chen Heng: "Why isn't the Prime Minister's wife speaking?"
Shen Heng was still lamenting her fate when a charming voice rang out, "I greet the Empress."
The three of them looked over.
Chen Heng blinked. Peng Yunrong? She was dressed in an elegant palace dress, with golden hairpins and silk shoes. She was already quite good-looking, and now she looked even more charming. The palace maid behind her was holding a boy about one year old. This should be Peng Yunrong's second child. Yun Zhao had said that Peng Yunrong had given birth to a girl as her first child.
Liu Zhiyue's eyes turned cold.
Peng Yunrong seemed to be unable to bear Liu Zhiyue's unhappy expression, and stepped forward and took Chen Heng's arm affectionately: "Sister A Heng, I see you again. I missed you these days."
Chen Heng: “…” Actually, I’m not very familiar with her.
