Chapter 1134: Grand Finale: Return of an Old Friend (42)
"Your Highness," Pei Lang said with a smile, holding a wine cup. "Now that your great cause is accomplished, you're on the throne, and you'll have the kingdom and perhaps even beauties in the future. But I still have to remind you: don't let yourself regret it." His voice was low. "If you regret it, there will be no turning back in this life. Every day of pain will be torture."
Xie Jing Xing looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "Have you ever regretted it?"
"I once spent my entire life trying to regain it. Although I regained some of it, what was lost can never be regained." Pei Lang sighed.
The two were silent. At this moment, Aunt Tao hurried over. Seeing Xie Jingxing and Pei Lang drinking together, she spoke awkwardly, "Your Highness, the two young masters are crying non-stop. The wet nurse and the old woman can't do anything about it. You should go and take a look."
The first and fifteenth day of the lunar month were coaxed by Xie Jingxing every day, and their temperaments were completely spoiled. No matter how others tried to coax them, it was useless, but Xie Jingxing's coaxing was the only thing that would stop them. It was strange to say, Shen Miao's temperament was very calm and she never caused trouble for others, but these two children she gave birth to were like debt collectors. It was fine before, but as soon as Xie Jingxing came back, his temper became more and more unruly. Fortunately, Xie Jingxing was patient with the children. If it were any other young father, he would have thrown in the towel long ago.
Xie Jingxing stood up and said, "I'll go take a look." Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to look at Pei Lang, staring at him and saying, "You're quite interesting. But thank you for the reminder." He drank the remaining wine in the glass and said, "I never do anything I regret, nor do I do anything that makes others regret. You, worry too much."
Xie Jingxing and Aunt Tao left. Pei Lang shook his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and murmured softly as he watched their backs. "Did I worry too much?" His expression gradually turned bitter. "Really? They didn't even give me a chance. How despicable..."
…
On the day Xie Jingxing ascended the throne, the sky was bright, the sun was warm and the wind was clear.
His name was Xiaojing.
Nine-tiered palaces towered majestically, and a furious dragon danced in the Golden Throne Hall. Officials lined the stage, flanked by court officials. The young emperor donned a golden-ground, leather-silk, peacock-feather dragon robe. The yellow robe was delicately embroidered with golden coiled dragons. The hems of the robe were intricately detailed, awe-inspiring, and its golden brilliance was too dazzling to gaze upon.
He was extremely handsome, with a well-proportioned crown, but he had a pair of cynical peach blossom eyes. Even so, wherever he looked, it was like the cool October breeze, with a chilling and murderous meaning.
No one dared to underestimate this young emperor. Although he was the youngest person to ascend the throne in the history of the Daliang Dynasty, he had actually carried the battle flag, fought on the battlefield, and swept away the generals of Qin and Ming Qi. He was also good at using cunning schemes in the court and forced people into a miserable state.
The decree of succession has been issued, and the imperial seal is in hand. From then on, the world of the Daliang Dynasty welcomed a new master.
After the ceremony, he unexpectedly walked aside. The court officials did not dare to look up until they heard the emperor's voice: "Appoint the queen."
Everyone knew that the Princess of Rui was in a deep sleep, so why was she appointed as the Queen? Everyone was puzzled. When they looked up, they saw the young emperor holding the girl in his arms and placing her on the Queen's throne on the other side with great care, as if he was treating a rare treasure.
Among the court officials, except for Gao Yang and Ji Yushu, everyone else showed expressions of shock. Someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this cannot be done!"
"Oh?" Emperor Jing turned his head and looked at him. His eyes shifted and he smiled, "Why not?"
"My dear... Madam has not yet woken up. How can the mother of a country be unconscious?"
