Song Yu smiled and didn't care: "The fate of children is destined. Zi Yu will not force it, and big brother doesn't need to be obsessed with it. I just hope that big brother will be nicer to Yue'er in the future and don't let her suffer."
He looked towards the dark twilight, standing upright like a pine or cypress, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
Song Mo paused and couldn't help but look at him deeply.
Half a month later, the prince ascended the throne.
On this day, the wind and snow suddenly stopped, the sky was clear, and the flags on the Spring Terrace fluttered in the wind.
All the civil and military officials had solemn expressions as they watched the young emperor ascend the throne step by step. The nine five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on his dragon robe made him look noble and majestic.
On the jade steps and in the red courtyard, there were bursts of drum sounds and thousands of rays of rosy light descended.
The emperor turned around and sat on the dragon throne, with twelve pendants and nine patterns. At this moment, the emperor's luck was strong and reached the peak of a dynasty.
All the officials bowed and said: "Long live our emperor."
Hundreds of flowers gathered together, and the fortune of the mountains and rivers, which had been declining, regained new vitality at this moment.
After the coronation ceremony, the next step is to confer titles on the emperor. In addition to the concubines in the harem, the people who follow the prince will naturally be promoted as well, and the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty will be given titles and rewards.
Those who remained neutral were relatively calm, while those who were not on the emperor's side were so nervous that they kept their tails between their legs, fearing that they would be punished.
The emperor looked around and ruthlessly sent a group of people away, replacing them with his own men.
Song Yu was appointed as the third-class General Zhenbei and returned to the border soon.
The rest of the young generals were also rewarded one by one.
The most surprising of them was Song Jiadalang, who instantly became the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, a second-rank official, and took charge of important political positions in the capital.
This person had only appeared once at the palace banquet, and was unknown before that. It was only said that he was sent to a Taoist temple for education since he was a child and only came back a year ago.
So, he is actually the emperor's confidant?
All the officials looked at each other in bewilderment, but those who knew the truth had already stepped forward to congratulate him, and Song Mo returned the greetings one by one.
As for the female relatives, perhaps in order to make up for it, the document that conferred the title of County Lord on Chen Piaopiao was changed to Princess Changle with a title, jumping several levels, which surprised the female relatives in the capital who wanted to laugh at her.
However, Shen Piaopiao was not happy at all, and her eyes were fixed on the woman in the center of the hall.
The eunuch held up the imperial edict: "Heaven has blessed Jiang Yue'er, who has rendered meritorious service in curing the plague in Jiangnan... Her medical skills are beneficial to the world, she is noble yet frugal, and her virtuous and prudent nature is truly pleasing to my heart. I hereby appoint her the title of Princess of Yue. I decree it!"
The emperor said with a pleasant expression: "Is Yue'er satisfied?"
Xihe hesitated: "I'm so bold, Your Majesty, could you please think about it again?" Just give her a reward. She doesn't want to participate in any activities in the palace after the princess is enthroned and kneel down.
The emperor stroked his chin and said, "Well, how about I allow you to see the emperor without kneeling?"
Xihe leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, I accept your order."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily: "Good!"
The Song family had raised a fake daughter for more than ten years, but after kicking her out of the house one day, she jumped back into the family and became the most honorable princess of the Yue Kingdom.
The ministers were shocked, and when they realized what was happening, they urged His Majesty to reconsider. While curing the plague was remarkable, conferring the title of Princess on him was a joke. But after he finished speaking, he realized that most of the ministers were staring blankly, with no one agreeing. Suddenly, he was a little confused: "Your Majesty?"
The emperor raised his chin and said, "Li Xing'an, tell him why."
The chief eunuch stepped forward with a smile and said, "Replying to Master Zhang, in the autumn and spring of the eleventh year, His Majesty was assassinated on the terrace. The imperial doctors were helpless and his life was hanging by a thread. It was Miss Jiang who intervened and saved His Majesty."
The emperor smiled, but his eyes were filled with coldness. "Why? Master Zhang thinks my life is not worth the throne of a princess?"
How could Master Zhang know the reason behind this?
I secretly cursed my colleagues for being so disloyal as not to reveal such important information at all.
He immediately lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty's body is worth a thousand gold. I have spoken nonsense. Your servant Zhang He greets the Princess. May the Princess be well!"
The ministers: “…”
Is this face-changing speed worthy of your position as an honest and selfless bachelor?
Zhang Xueshi rolled his eyes. The new emperor was clearly no pushover. Didn't he see the retired emperor was lying on the couch, unable to get up? As the saying goes, a man of insight is a true hero. He had elderly parents and young children to support, so he couldn't do anything that would cost him his life.
He lowered his head and it banged loudly.
Xihe smiled and said, "Master Zhang, please stand up."
Shen Piaopiao clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and the moment Xihe turned around, their eyes met.
Xihe paused, nodded slightly, and then sat on the chair. In fact, she could understand the emperor's approach. As his younger sister, it would be easier to order him around in the future.
From planning to ascending the throne, she helped him save many people.
From the plague in Jiangnan to his mother, the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, and so on... He knew better than anyone else that she was an excellent doctor.
Just Shen Piaopiao...
Xihe looked at Song Yu, whose face was solemn.
The man was dressed in a military robe, with a handsome face and a slender figure. He did not say why he did not marry Chen Piaopiao, and out of respect she did not investigate without permission.
But since he has chosen this, let him do it.
After the enthronement, the emperor moved to a palace in the suburbs, and all the concubines followed him.
Thinking of the concubines who had fought with the original owner for a long time in the previous life, Xihe also took a look. As expected, most of them died in the palace fight, and most of the survivors were either unknown or kept to themselves.
The concubines who were once extremely beautiful are now listless like withered flowers.
"Is there anyone in there whom the imperial sister knows?"
The former Crown Princess, now the Queen, wondered.
Xihe shook her head and looked away: "No, sister-in-law, the little prince should be out of school by now, right?"
As soon as the prince ascended the throne, he appointed his legitimate son as the crown prince.
The queen smiled gently. "Yes, he was still talking about his aunt yesterday..."
The eunuchs and palace maids led the way in front, and the two of them walked hand in hand towards the Prince's Eunuch's Palace. In the distance, the young concubines got on the carriages heading to the temporary palace at the eunuchs' shouts, with the sun shining brightly above their heads.
Mrs. Song didn't believe that the girl she had raised for several years knew any medical skills.
She felt that Xihe must have used some magic to fool the emperor and the people of the world, but Lord Song ignored her, and coupled with the incident with Song Yu, she instantly aged more than ten years.
On the eve of her wedding, Xihe went to visit her at home.
She had walked through this door of the Song Mansion countless times, but only this time, a red carpet was laid out wherever she passed, and the maids and servants were respectful, for fear of angering the eldest princess who was personally appointed by His Majesty.
Xihe walked to the main courtyard and saw Mrs. Song lying sickly on the bed. She glanced at her and closed her eyes dejectedly.
The nanny trembled: "Miss, no, Princess, the lady has been in poor health recently, so..."
Xihe nodded: "Mammy, Yue'er has something to say to Madam, can you please go out?" Mammy was a little at a loss, and seeing that Madam had no objection, she hesitated and left the room.
The sun is shining outside the window and the air inside the house is quiet.
Xihe: "Madam, I'm getting married tomorrow, to Song Mo."
