Chapter 123123 What am I?
Chapter 123
Seeing the girl in his arms with her eyes wide open, looking confused and without her usual cleverness, Qi Jingyan couldn't help but chuckle.
But she wondered, hadn't Ah Ning ever thought he'd ascend the throne? Then why had she mentioned a few days ago, when she was talking about helping her grandmother manage harem affairs, that she'd eventually take over?
Qi Jingyan thought quickly in his mind, thinking about the "dreams" that An Ning had mentioned at the beginning, as well as those sleep talking, he understood.
Without a word, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, repeating softly, "A Ning, it's me who will ascend the throne."
Meng Yuning heard it clearly this time, but was also stunned.
Qi Jingyan ascended the throne? How is that possible? In the original book, it was clearly Yi'er who succeeded to the throne, and he served as regent!
But on second thought, that was the plot in the original book.
In reality, although Qi Jingyan has always taught Yier with all his heart, he has never mentioned that he wants Yier to become the emperor.
Did he never intend to push Yi'er onto the cold and lonely throne from the very beginning, or did he change his mind later because of changes in the situation?
But no matter what he is like, Meng Yuning felt from the beginning to the end that compared with the little Yi'er, the adult Qi Jingyan is more suitable to be in charge of the precarious Daxing.
In the original book, after Qi Jingyan helped Yi'er to secure his throne, he became disheartened and died alone in front of a tomb, leaving Yi'er all alone and unhappy for the rest of his life.
Although many things are different now and Qi Jingyan is going to marry her, she still has a vague worry in her heart. She is actually quite afraid of the so-called "Way of Heaven", that is, the ending of the key characters in the book cannot be rewritten no matter what, and no matter how they struggle, they will eventually go towards their predetermined fate.
But now, Qi Jingyan wants to be the emperor. As an emperor, he will be responsible for the country, the people, and he also has to take care of Gu Yier. He will always have responsibilities that he can't get rid of, and he will never commit suicide because he thinks life is boring.
And Yier could have spent his childhood peacefully and grown up happily like any other child.
When he grows up, he can decide for himself whether to be a wise king who helps the country, or to be a rich and idle person who lives a carefree life.
Instead of being forced to climb onto the cold dragon throne that is higher than him at such a young age and ignorant.
Thinking about it this way, Qi Jingyan's ascension to the throne is indeed a great thing.
But, originally she thought she would be the regent princess, now he is the emperor, what about her? What is she? Empress?
Seeing Meng Yuning's eyes wandering, Qi Jingyan gently rubbed her face, frowning slightly: "What's wrong? You don't like me being the emperor?"
Meng Yuning quickly shook her head: "Yun Zhou, there is no one in the entire Daxing who is more suitable to be the emperor than you."
Qi Jingyan's face brightened upon hearing this, but he was still puzzled: "Then why do you seem unhappy?"
Meng Yuning couldn't honestly tell her thoughts about the original book's plot, so she just asked, "Yun Zhou, if you become the emperor, what should I be?"
Qi Jingyan didn't expect Aning to ask such a childish question. He thought such a silly girl was cute and a little funny, so he couldn't help but chuckled, his chest shaking slightly.
Meng Yuning rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm talking to you seriously, be serious."
Qi Jingyan suppressed his smile, his eyes warm: "A Ning is naturally my queen."
Although she had this guess in her mind, when she heard Qi Jingyan say it himself, Meng Yuning's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Qi Jingyan suppressed his smile and nodded seriously, "Of course."
If it wasn't An Ning sitting on the Phoenix Throne, what would this supreme position mean to him?
Meng Yuning studied him carefully for a moment, then her eyes curved. She stood on tiptoe and pecked him lightly on the lips, then said with a smile, "Okay, I agree."
Meng Yuning is good in every way and outstanding in everything. What's wrong with her being a queen?
Qi Jingyan laughed out loud, picked up the energetic girl by the waist, and spun her around several times under the moonlight.
This is his An Ning. No matter what time, she is always this open and honest An Ning.
The two people's cheerful laughter echoed in the courtyard. Although the people in the various palaces of the Cining Palace didn't know what they were laughing at, they couldn't help but laugh along.
The Queen Mother shook her head in the hall and said to Madam Tao angrily, "These two children always like to talk in the dead of night in the wind. Why don't you come over here and sit and talk in the warmth?"
Aunt Tao couldn't help but laugh along.
Cai Yuezhao rolled over on the couch, pounding the quilt and lamenting, "You've been so lazy all day, have you ever considered the peace and quiet of a cultivator like me?"
Yuzhu listened to her daughter's clear laughter and started laughing too, tears welling up in her eyes. Seeing this, Meng Jin and the others quickly stuffed a handful of melon seeds into her hands, and they all began to crack them again, noisily.
Meng Yuning felt dizzy from Qi Jingyan's spinning and patted his shoulder: "Put me down quickly."
Qi Jingyan carefully put the person on the ground, then used his cloak to hold her in his arms again, and lowered his head to rub her flushed cheek.
Meng Yuning lowered her voice and asked the question in her heart: "But His Majesty is still alive. How can you ascend the throne?"
Qi Jingyan's eyes were calm: "Don't worry, His Majesty will personally issue an edict to pass the throne to me, and then I can be at ease as his emperor." Although this emperor may not have much time left.
Knowing that Qi Jingyan always planned things before taking action, Meng Yuning never worried about him. Seeing him so confident, she smiled and said yes. She then asked, "When will you ascend the throne? When will we get married? When can I become queen?"
During the years in Lingnan, she often visited the people in disguise with Mrs. Bai, and witnessed the suffering of many people, especially the difficult situations of women and children.
Although I felt sorry for them at that time, I was limited in my ability and could only lend a helping hand, but there was no way to completely change their predicament.
But if she became the queen, could she put all those ideas in her mind into practice? For example, she could open a girls' school, a women's medical clinic, a women's academy, and hold vocational skills training classes.
Thinking this in her heart, she shook Qi Jingyan's sleeve impatiently, blinking her big, dark but bright eyes, waiting for his answer.
Seeing how eager An Ning was to become his queen, Qi Jingyan instantly felt as if he had drunk strong liquor in winter or ice soup in summer, and his whole body felt indescribably comfortable and relaxed.
His eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles: "We will be married next month at the latest, and the wedding day will be the coronation ceremony."
Meng Yuning was delighted and nodded repeatedly in agreement. She then pushed him and said, "Then Yunzhou, go back and get busy."
Now is the time to get down to business. Stop being so clingy here. The most important thing is to make her the queen as soon as possible.
Qi Jingyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He gently tapped the girl with his finger, who was about to demolish the bridge before crossing the river. As usual, he wrapped her in his cloak, walked her into the door, and then turned and left.
Meng Yuning clung to the door frame, poked her head out, clenched her fists and said to him, "Yunzhou, come on!"
Qi Jingyan shook his head helplessly and walked away with a smile.
Meng Yuning watched him walk away, then watched him swiftly climb over the wall before closing the palace door. She happily threw herself on the couch, moved closer to Cai Yuezhao, and whispered to her, "Sister Zhao, His Highness will soon ascend the throne."
Cai Yuezhao said indifferently: "This is bound to happen sooner or later."
Seeing Sister Zhao acting as if the whole world knew about it, Meng Yuning felt a sudden heart attack. Could it be that she was the only one who didn't know?
But it wasn't too late to know now. She excitedly pulled Cai Yuezhao aside and started talking: "Sister Zhao, I want to open a girls' academy. Would you like to be the teacher?"
Cai Yuezhao was very interested: "Women's Academy? What do you want me to teach?"
Meng Yuning: "Of course it's Kung Fu."
"Okay." Cai Yuezhao agreed readily, crossed her arms again, and said in a proud and arrogant manner, "It's just that my salary is very expensive."
"No problem." Meng Yuning laughed heartily, holding her chin with her hand, her eyes full of longing: "I will set up a cooking department and teach cooking. Then I will set up a medical department and ask the genius doctor Tang Qiulian to teach medical skills... After the capital is settled, I will go to the various provinces and prefectures to open girls' academies..."

On the way back to Chengming Palace from Cining Palace, what Qi Jingyan couldn't get rid of in his mind was An Ning's green eyes when she asked him "When can I become the queen?" He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and he laughed all the way back to Chengming Palace and laughed in front of Emperor Kangwen's bed.
He calmly sat down in the wheelchair beside the bed, leaning back leisurely, looking at the person on the dragon couch with a smile, and said in a gentle voice as if chatting with family, "Your Majesty, your hand can hold a pen. Today is also an auspicious day. Why not write the edict of succession to me now?"
