The enthronement of the crown prince was a major national event. Although Emperor Jianzhang told the Ministry of Rites that the country was facing internal and external troubles and there was no need to make a big fuss, he still took money from the treasury to let the Ministry of Rites worry about the enthronement of the crown prince. The father of the crown princess, Luo Zhizheng, was reinstated, his elder brother Luo Jingxi was awarded the third-rank Jinyiwei commander with salary, and his younger brother Luo Jingxi was already a judge, and was awarded antique colored silks, etc.

When the news reached Gaoping, Luo Zhizheng was climbing the mountain with his disciples. Although he was old, he was in good spirits and did not look tired at all.

The disciples around him advised: "Sir, why don't you take a rest here? There is a pavilion here."

Luo Zhixiao stroked his beard, smiled and nodded as he sat down. He talked about everything along the way, feeling extremely happy. He recited Wang Yuzhen's "Record of the Newly Built Bamboo House in Huangzhou": "When the public retires, he wears a crane cloak, a Huayang scarf, holds a volume of the Book of Changes in his hand, burns incense and sits in silence, dispelling worldly worries. Beyond the mountains and rivers, there are only sails, sand birds, smoke and bamboo trees. When he sobers up from the alcohol and the tea and smoke stop, he sees off the setting sun and greets the white moon, which is also the beauty of exile."

"My lifelong wish has been fulfilled."

Everyone knew that Luo Zhizheng resigned from his position and returned to Beijing when he was about to make great achievements. How could he be calm in his heart? The disciples around him also knew about his revenge and hoped that he could recover as soon as possible.

Although such a quiet and peaceful life is good, but at present, the country's wise men all live in seclusion in the mountains and countryside. How can the court have anyone useful?

At this moment, the Luo family received an urgent call from three hundred miles away. The Luo family's servants brought the local governor and chief envoy over. The visitor said: "Master, the fifth girl of our family has been named the crown princess." , the emperor has also issued an order to reinstate you and immediately enter the cabinet, and our eldest son has been granted the title of commander of the third-grade Jinyi Guards and his salary. "

Luo Zhizheng himself had not expected to be reinstated so quickly, and his daughter was even named the Crown Princess. He led all his disciples in kneeling down to express their gratitude.

Of course the disciples knew that the Luo family had a Princess Chen. Many people thought that this princess would marry a disciple of Luo Zhizheng. After all, what Luo Zhizheng valued most was the imperial examination, and the marriages in the palace were all between nobles. Little did they know that Princess Chen Luo stood out and married the emperor's most favored prince, and now she has become the crown princess.

The entire Luo family was in an uproar. Yu, Fan, Wang and others came to congratulate them. Fan's wife, Luo Jingrou's daughter Song Jie'er, also came.

She and her husband are cousins, and she inherited her parents' looks and intelligence. When she married back into her maternal family, she felt like a fish in water.

Because Fan heard that Song was treated harshly by Dou, she felt very sympathetic towards her daughter-in-law and took her with her when she was the housekeeper. Song thought she had reached the top.

But what we see today is that because Fifth Aunt was named Crown Princess, her maternal grandparents and even her own uncle and father-in-law all benefited from her. Even Luo Jingxi seemed to have forgotten his own sister, his own mother.

Seeing Yu calling her Madam all the time, he said, "When I am ordered to escort you and father to the capital, I will be able to attend the crown prince's enthronement ceremony. This will be a great honor for our Luo family."

"Yes, Yao Niang has finally made it. She really has to thank the emperor for his grace." Yu knew in her heart that her daughter was very aggrieved. The child was almost framed, her husband was not at home all year round, and the Hong family was eyeing her covetously. It was like powerful enemies lurking around. But she managed to make it through on her own.

The personnel changes in the palace are very fast, especially when Yao Niang is in the middle of it, she can feel that other people's attitude towards her is unusual.

This change is certainly a good thing, but she still behaves according to etiquette and never shows any complacency just because her status has improved. Even Empress Hong couldn't help but nod when she saw her. This is a prudent person.

How many men, when they suddenly become rich and powerful, can't help but feel proud and tremble with fear, but she was just the same as usual.

She used to mention the children often, but now she hardly ever mentions carrying them. When she's here to talk to her, she only talks about Buddhist scriptures or interpersonal relationships, and her daily needlework. She often tells a few jokes, but never says much and doesn't ask too many questions.

If she hadn't tied her hair into a bun, she would have looked exactly like an unmarried girl, Yunying. She was well-educated, beautiful, intelligent, and she could clearly distinguish between public and private matters.

As expected, she looks like the queen mother. In fact, she originally liked Gao Xuance the most, and she also liked Yao Niang. However, because King Zhou was the eldest son, she had a bad impression of Yao Niang in order to protect her younger son, and thought she was very ambitious.

But now it seems that she is just a woman. Even if she has some schemes, she has not harmed anyone. Her son did not do it for her, but for his own ambition.

"Mother, this is a scripture that my daughter-in-law has just copied. I heard that this scripture is the Diamond Sutra that the Fifth Patriarch Hongren preached in those days. It is profound and profound, and it was translated by Master Kumarajiva. Please take a look." Mother Yao handed the scripture she had copied to Empress Hong.

In any case, she did show her filial piety.

This Xu Qingrong is different. She comes to visit her mother-in-law regularly, but she rarely spends time thinking about what to give to her mother-in-law.

She even didn't understand that even if they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, being too close was not a good thing. Yao Niang kept a certain degree and didn't get too close.

Once people get too close, disaster begins.

Empress Hong took the scripture and saw that she had copied it in such an elegant handwriting. She also knew that she was old and her handwriting was quite large, so she understood her intentions.

"You are busy now, why are you doing these?" Queen Hong smiled and accepted her filial piety.

Yao Niang said, "This is what my daughter-in-law should do. You don't have to be so polite."

Queen Hong nodded and asked Xu Qingrong, knowing that King Zhou had recovered a little, so she went to see her eldest son after they paid their respects.

The King of Zhou was recuperating from an illness in bed. Actually, he had almost recovered, but was only demoted to a lower rank. Moreover, he would have to grovel before his younger brother in the future, which made him feel uncomfortable and unwilling to go out. He had already submitted a petition requesting to be granted a fiefdom.

He was granted a vassalage in advance and did not have to attend his brother's crown prince ceremony. It was truly "I was your neighbor in the past, but now I am your subject."

But when he heard that Empress Hong was coming to visit him in person, he had no choice but to get up. It was rare for Empress Hong to ask him about his health in detail. When he heard that he was going to be relocated, he felt how unpredictable life was.

Before, she had forced her eldest son to swear to treat her younger son well. At that time, the eldest son was so high and mighty, so arrogant. But now, he is lying on his sickbed, too embarrassed to submit to his younger brother and only wants to become a vassal.

"Now that you are feeling better, I am relieved. I have heard from your father about your enfeoffment. Your father said that he has chosen Weihui Mansion for you." Queen Hong also revealed to him what she knew.

The King of Zhou was silent and pondered.

Weihui Prefecture was in Henan, which is located in the Central Plains with fertile land, so the King of Zhou felt a little relieved.

Even though the King of Zhou wanted to be enfeoffed immediately, he had to build a palace and allocate land, which could not be done in a short time. The King of Zhou could only claim illness and not go out, otherwise he would have to pay homage to his brother.

Gao Xuance knew it, and joked with Yao Niang in private. Yao Niang said, "I have something to say about you. When people are proud, they don't care about things. If you were him, you would definitely feel uncomfortable. Since you have decided not to care about him and let her go to the vassal state normally, why do you have to do this? You are a mean person in vain."

It is good to be vindictive, but it is best for people to focus on themselves.

"I understand." Gao Xuance hugged Yao Niang happily.

Yao Niang stood up and said, "You can still listen to me now, but I'm afraid you will find me annoying in the future."

Gao Xuance shook his head quickly. He was also very good at reading people's expressions, so he couldn't help but say, "No, don't worry."

It is also said that Cheng Yun will be sent to Emperor Jianzhang to be raised. The first person who is reluctant to let him go is Yao Niang. She had originally decided to spend the rest of her life with her child to make up for the past life. Little did she know that Gao Xuance, in order to secure his future, let his son be raised by the emperor. Although this is better for Cheng Yun's future, as a mother, she cannot bear the pain of separation.

Yao Niang, who usually remained unmoved even when seeing others doing something shady, was so sad that she couldn't help crying, which made Gao Xuance at a loss.

"What's wrong with you?" He tried to wipe her tears with his hands, but he was anxiously worried about hurting her skin.

"I can't bear to give up Chengyun. I treated him badly in my previous life, and now we are separated as mother and son in this life." Yao Niang's tears flowed again.

Gao Xuance then realized that although his wife had ambitions, she always put family affection first. He blamed himself and said, "It's all my fault. I thought it was a good idea to do this. I agreed to it because my father said so. I'm sorry."

Yao Niang stopped crying, but still refused to speak and ignored him.

He panicked immediately and stood in front of her with his head down, like a child who had done something wrong: "Just scold me, okay? It's all my fault."

Seeing him like this, Yao Niang knew he was like this, but if she encountered something related to her interests, she would definitely give orders decisively.

Such a person is neither good nor bad. No matter how good he is to himself, he will never forget how to maximize his interests.

"Okay, I won't scold you. It's a big deal for you to be crowned as the crown prince. You should be happy about it." Yao Niang said softly.

But Gao Xuance did not dare to take it lightly and put on a smile: "Don't worry, I will have someone watching my son there."

Little did she know that Cheng Yun was not as reluctant as Yao Niang had imagined. Because Gao Xuance had been away from home for a long time, he became more familiar with Emperor Jianzhang. As an emperor, Emperor Jianzhang had a better temper.

Therefore, on the first day he moved to Funing Palace, Yao Niang was very worried, but he was sleeping soundly.

Emperor Jianzhang even slept with his grandson himself. In order to make his grandson admire him, he tried his best, so that Cheng Yun felt more comfortable with Emperor Jianzhang.

Because Emperor Jianzhang could directly order people to do whatever he wanted, and as an emperor his power was greater than that of his parents.

So, when they returned to the palace, Yao Niang quietly asked her son, "What are you not used to?"

"My son is fine with everything except me. It would be great if you could accompany me to Funing Palace." Cheng Yun held onto Yao Niang's hand and talked about how great it was to be with the Emperor's grandfather...

Yao Niang then realized that boys actually need their own space. No matter how good she is, she is still confined to the inner house.

Therefore, she felt a little relieved that her son was with the emperor.

Gao Xuance had been observing from the side, and he was relieved when he saw Yao Niang smile again. However, he had developed a habit, and no matter where he was, when Yao Niang was around, he would always look at her expression first.

This made Empress Hong feel particularly sad, as she felt her son was being controlled by the Luo family.

Even her son said to her, "Mother, I already have three sons and married a woman like Yao Niang. I have no regrets in my life. I am just afraid that my father wants to give me a woman. When the time comes, I will have to trouble you to refuse her for me. Otherwise, I don't want her to be sad."

Suddenly, Empress Hong was a little unhappy: "How can I change the emperor's decision? Besides, you are the crown prince, and the enthronement ceremony will be held in two months. The future emperor should have a well-fed backyard."

Normally, men of some status have three wives and four concubines, let alone a prince.

Gao Xuance said painfully: "I have regarded her as my life. If she dies, I will never live alone..."

She never thought her son would be so stubborn. No mother in the world could persuade her son to do what he wanted, unless her attitude was not firm enough. Empress Hong had no choice but to agree.

Who would have known that Gao Xuance looked very happy after he left the room, looking calm and composed, without any trace of pain from before. When he looked at Xing'er again, he walked forward and said as if warning her, "Don't meddle in other people's business."

Xing'er was shocked. Gao Xuance said coldly, "I trusted you because you were good at delivering messages. But you hid the Crown Princess from me. You are so brave."

"I don't know..." Xing'er trembled all over, "I have always been concerned about you, the Crown Prince, and I don't care much about other people--"

"The Crown Princess's affairs are as important as mine. This Crown Prince has regarded the Crown Princess as his life. You are incompetent and yet you covet this Crown Prince. Find a chance to get out of the palace. I will spare your life." Gao Xuance's voice became even colder.

Xing'er was originally very docile. When she heard Gao Xuance wanted her to leave the palace, she found it hard to believe: "Prince, I have always been wholeheartedly for you!"

"You're hurting my wife for my reputation. I already know about Concubine Yan's affairs. Don't use her as a pretext to gain a bigger reputation."

You all like my appearance, my appearance, my identity, but all of that is superficial, only Yao Niang is sincere to me. But even if she is not sincere to me, she is also for my appearance, I don't mind, I just don't mind her, the person I like is her.

He doesn't need or care about other people's likes.
