He will be enthroned tomorrow.
Lying on the bed, Xie Zhou held his wife, still excited.
Actually, he's been extremely busy these past few days; he might not be able to finish even if he doesn't sleep tonight.
But Xie Zhou had to spend the night with his wife.
Although this isn't my wedding night, and there are no women involved in tomorrow's coronation, I still need to have a wife.
Xie Zhou knew he couldn't sleep, so he turned the light on a little. Looking at his wife's dignified and delicate face, he felt excited.
Huan Yue remained silent, so let him do as he pleased.
Becoming an emperor is indeed a very important thing. Some people can become emperor several times in their lifetime, while others can never become emperor.
Xie Zhou held his wife and tried to be as quiet as possible, just like that.
In his previous life, she had already passed away when he ascended the throne.
However, this time is three years earlier than in my previous life.
Many things have changed; half of the people in the court have changed.
Lady Dong and Lady Cui are both gone, but the Emperor is still alive, and he has two lively and adorable sons.
These two sons are better than anything else; they were born to my wife, so my wife is the most important.
Actually, holding her in my arms feels especially reassuring.
Xie Zhou felt that if there were an afterlife, they would still be together. Although this life was still very long, it was a regret from their past life.
Such a deep regret, though not something that can be made up for in this lifetime, is already like reality.
Huan Yue yawned. Although there were no women involved in his ascension to the throne, there were still matters to be addressed in the harem.
The empress will be appointed soon. It'll be time to move to Changqiu Palace.
Xie Zhou got up, dimmed the light, climbed back into bed, and hugged his wife. He then covered her with the blanket.
Huan Yue felt quite comfortable sleeping in his arms.
Although I ignored him for a while after entering the palace, the eldest is now three years old.
Xie Zhou coaxed her to sleep.
Huan Yue asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Xie Zhou said, "I want to watch you sleep."
Huan Yue blinked.
Xie Zhou teased her, biting her ear: "After we're done with this busy period, let's have another daughter, and then we'll make her a queen."
Huan Yue laughed and said, "Let's forget about making him a king. Making him a marquis or a duke would be just fine."
Xie Zhou nodded: "I'll do whatever you say. If the merits are enough, then I'll make him a king."
Huan Yue said, "I still hope she doesn't achieve such great feats, and that she can just live a comfortable life with a few acres of land."
Xie Zhou said, "It still depends on her own wishes. If she wants to do nothing, we can support her. If she wants to do something, then so be it."
Huan Yue is now worried about having another son.
Xie Zhou was also worried. But there was no point in worrying about it; he would just have a son.
Actually, the eldest child is different; the second child still needs a companion.
In a couple of years, the eldest child will have learned even more, and if the second child doesn't like to learn, they won't be able to play together with the eldest.
Although I can play with Xie Kun, there are actually differences.
This cannot be forced; distance is also necessary.
When Xie Zhou ascends the throne, Xie Yu will be granted the title of Prince, while his three younger brothers will only be granted the title of Marquis.
Both Xieyi and Xietan are small and not sealed.
Others will also be granted numerous titles. This includes the privileges bestowed upon women after the establishment of a queen.
The eunuch came over and, knowing that His Highness was not asleep, whispered, "The delegation from the Great Stone Kingdom has made contact with the Nan family."
Xie Zhou sneered, thinking that the Nan family might come up with something else.
Huan Yue said, "If the Nan family's goal is the Great Stone Kingdom, then this contact is a natural progression."
When the new emperor ascended the throne, delegations from various countries arrived, including the Kingdom of Wunu.
Because it was announced early, people from more distant countries came, totaling more than twenty countries.
Some are very small, with the Great Stone Kingdom being the largest. This delegation is also quite special.
Because the Great Zhao and the Great Shi Kingdom had just fought, the Great Shi Kingdom was not there to negotiate peace, nor was it there to directly accuse them.
I guess they wanted to see how the Great Zhao was different from before, which led to the Great Shi Kingdom suffering such a great loss?
It's not surprising that the Great Stone Kingdom is acting this way, but if he continues to act recklessly in the Great Zhao, then he won't be allowed to do as he pleases.
Perhaps contacting people from the Great Zhao is the best way to understand the situation. Should he ask the Grand Secretary directly? Or go directly to the King of Wu?
The Zhao state could deal with the Nan family by claiming they had betrayed the country.
Let's make some more arrangements.
Huan Yue asked, "Should we select two docile women?"
Xie Zhou refused: "No need, I'll change that habit. How many women are truly docile? How many are unmoved by opportunities? How many with a background aren't arrogant? Even if we're not doing well at home, it's not our business."
Huan Yue nodded.
It wasn't that she meant well. It's just that sometimes, it really is a case of small investment yielding big returns.
Some things can't be changed immediately; they can only be changed gradually.
Even if she changes, when it comes to her son, people will bring up the old rules again.
When it came to her grandson, people talked to him about the old customs, the customs from hundreds of years ago.
Therefore, Huan Yue did not refuse to change, but rather became more composed.
Of course, it's better if they don't come; the palace will be quieter.
It wasn't exactly peaceful to begin with; the palace was connected to the entire nation.
Many matters need to be coordinated through the wives and young ladies; the imperial harem must shoulder this responsibility.
This awareness has existed for a long time.
Huan Yue should guide everyone to make this even better, so that the court and the harem can be like husband and wife, forming a closer unity.
The imperial harem does not need to interfere in politics, as there are already countless intricate relationships within it.
The women in the imperial harem no longer cared about their own affairs.
Female officials, like court officials, have responsibilities that extend far beyond their own homes; they must learn certain things.
Xie Zhou coaxed his wife, "Go to sleep."
Don't worry so much, she's already doing great. Let her sleep whenever she wants.
Huan Yue yawned and fell asleep in his arms.
Xie Zhou looked at her sleeping face, thinking about all the worries she had, but not herself.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
He didn't expect her to be completely selfless; this was good enough. She could show him some concern when she had time.
Xie Zhou didn't need a beautiful woman's feigned attentiveness; he'd be happy even if his wife beat him up.
It was late at night.
Xie Zhou suddenly had a dream.
It seems like I was pulled into a dream by my eldest son again, and then the four of us were in a bizarre and strange state, I don't know what was going on?
His wife grabbed a dragon and phoenix iron mace and smashed it all over the place, which calmed everyone down.
Xie Zhou was delighted. Her son was restless; he was old enough to be disciplined. He'd learn his mother's power later.
The youngest son thought he was his mother's precious treasure, and that he would surely return it when his mother beat him.
Xie Zhou hugged his beloved wife tightly and told her to sleep peacefully, as there would be plenty of work to do tomorrow.
The eunuchs outside couldn't sleep.
Excited!
Tomorrow, he will no longer be called Your Highness.
He ascended the throne in the Hanyuan Hall and became a sage. Previous sages were promoted to sage emperors.
The Holy Emperor was not present when he ascended the throne; a country cannot have two rulers.
Instead, after ascending the throne, he went to the Wanshou Palace to pay homage to the Holy Emperor.
Then they turned back to Xuanzheng Hall and began the new emperor's first court session.
Because it's the first day of the lunar new year, it's a normal morning court session, unlike the earlier morning court session.
After that, there were temple visits and grand rewards; it was a non-stop operation, and even the eunuchs had to take turns, otherwise they wouldn't be able to keep up.
The eunuch thought that the fact that His Highness could still sleep with the Empress at this moment was undoubtedly true love.
As for the Nan family merchant's daughter's pointless antics? He had no idea what she had done wrong.
Given Her Majesty's good fortune, perhaps another prince will be born next year, and the world will probably be a little more peaceful.
The eunuchs were all looking forward to it, but it was getting dark, and His Highness should get up.
