Rong Xia did not expect that there were these secrets in the palace, which even he did not know.

The eldest princess Dening is an amazing and strange woman. No wonder countless men in the capital fell in love with her and called her the most beautiful woman in the world. Rong Xia thought that the eldest princess Dening could afford it. This reputation.

"Huahua," Rong Xia gently held Banhua's hand, "I want to give my grandmother a title."

Banhua was stunned for a moment, smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Grandma doesn't care about these false reputations after death, but she does. She hopes that people in hundreds of thousands of years will know that at the end of the Daye Dynasty, an extremely amazing princess appeared.

History books also favor those who have achieved success and fame.

"Thank you." She leaned into Rong Xia's arms, listened to his heartbeat, and slowly closed her eyes.

Rong Xia patted Banhua's shoulder gently, her movements as gentle as if she were treating a unique treasure. Banhua moved in his arms but said nothing. There was a lot she wanted to say in her heart, but when she was about to speak, she felt that words were the most feeble.

Maybe he understands her.

Two days later, Banhua got up before dawn for the Queen's Conferment Ceremony.

Clean your face and do your makeup.

Every piece of jewelry is a treasure that is hard to find in the world, and every strand of silk thread on the body is carefully selected. The moment the red embroidered dragon and phoenix long tail robe was put on Banhua, all the palace people present Everyone is amazed.

They are all respectable servants in the palace. They have seen Empress Dowager Fuping wearing a phoenix robe, but they have never seen Empress Dowager Fuping wearing such a luxurious and beautiful phoenix robe. This kind of flamboyant, luxurious and noble beauty may become frivolous and flamboyant if it is applied to other people. But when worn on the Queen's body, the clothes seemed to be specially custom-made.

No wonder the emperor specifically ordered the embroiderer to make such a phoenix robe according to the description in ancient books. It seems that only your majesty understands the beauty of the empress best.

The phoenix robe is added to the body, but the phoenix crown is not worn. Banhua, accompanied by his eighth wife, took a phoenix chariot to Zhaoyang Hall. Above the main hall, the ministers and wives were arranged according to their rank, waiting for the phoenix to arrive.

"The Queen is here!"

Twelve chants were sung, one after another, reaching the hall. After Banhua stepped into the hall, all the ministers and women knelt down and worshiped.

"The Queen is a thousand years old."

The floor was paved with eight layers of red brocade. Banhua's feet stepped on the brocade, as if they were stepping on clouds.

Rong Xia stood at the highest point in the palace. Banhua walked along the red brocade, stopped in front of the golden steps, and said to Rong Xia slowly: "I have met Your Majesty."

Rong Xia walked down the steps, stretched out his hand to help Banhua up, and said in front of the ministers and wives: "The queen is my hand, my foot, and half of mine. Don't be so polite in the future."

Everyone was in an uproar. In front of everyone, your majesty praised the queen like this. This was too much.

Rong Xia didn't care what the courtiers thought. He put all his effort into sitting on the throne of God, not just to please these courtiers. He turned around and took out the phoenix crown from the tray held high by the ceremony officer, and put it on Banhua's head with his own hands.

The phoenix crown, like the emperor's crown, is a symbol of status. Generally speaking, at the empress conferment ceremony, the queen's phoenix crown is worn by a highly respected concubine, and the same is true for the phoenix seal treasure book. If the queen mother personally sees it, it is possible for the queen mother to crown her, but the emperor personally crowns the queen. This incident has never been recorded in history books.

My old friend Zeng Yun said that men are the sky and women are the earth. The sky is higher than the earth. How can the emperor personally crown the queen? This is too inappropriate.

The officials who were preparing for the sealing ceremony secretly wiped away their sweat. They did not expect that His Majesty would do something like this. Turning to look at Mrs. Zhou, whom they invited, the leading official smiled awkwardly and said: "Mrs. Zhou, look at this..."

"It's very good," Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "The harmony between the emperor and the empress, the dragon and the phoenix appear auspicious, which is the blessing of our Ying Dynasty."

"Mrs. Zhou is right, the presence of a dragon and a phoenix is ​​a sign of good luck."

The time has come. If it’s not a good omen, it must be.

The phoenix seal and treasure book were handed over to Banhua by Rong Xia personally. Banhua held the golden book in his hand, looked up at the gentle man in front of him, and smiled slowly.

"Come." Rong Xia stretched out her hand in front of Banhua.

Ban Hua blinked and put her hand into his palm.

Rong Xia took her and stood at the highest point in the palace, where there were two dragon and phoenix chairs. The couple held hands and sat down.

"Kneel down!"

All officials, both civil and military, ordered women and their families to kneel down together and perform the great ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows.

In the Daye Dynasty's empress conferment ceremony, the queen usually received the ceremony separately. The courtiers performed one bow and three kowtows, and the ordered wife made three bows and nine kowtows. This kind of rule that the queen is worshiped by both men and women does not exist in the Daye Dynasty. The most recent record in history is that of Queen Chunming nearly a thousand years ago.

Queen Chunming shared the joys and sorrows with Emperor Kaiyuan, laid the foundation for the next generation, was loved by the emperor and respected by the courtiers, and was a rare heroine in history.

However, there is another theory in unofficial history. The relationship between Queen Chunming and Emperor Kaiyuan was not very good for ten thousand years. Emperor Kaiyuan was suspicious of Queen Chunming and even planned to depose the prince born by Queen Chunming, but the court officials dissuaded him. Emperor Cai gave up this plan.

Empress Chunming assisted three emperors in total. When she passed away, her grandson was in mourning. On the twenty-eighth day after leaving court, he was still in mourning every time he mentioned this grandmother.

The courtiers in the court are all familiar with history, so when they saw that the emperor insisted on using the regulations of the Queen Chunming ceremony to confer Queen Ban, they understood the queen's status in His Majesty's heart.

This Queen of the Class is a legend of her generation. She was born into a noble family, but her engagement was broken off three times in succession. Just when her reputation was ruined and she might not be able to find a good son, she ended up being the most beautiful woman in the capital. The man's Majesty is engaged.

Later, His Majesty was punished by Emperor Yunqing and rejected by the second prince who was in charge of the country. When everyone was hesitant, the Queen of Ban took the doctor to the Marquis of Cheng'an Mansion.

This is a sentimental and righteous act, but it is also a very impulsive behavior. At that time, Emperor Yunqing was in poor health and had a bad temper, and was often angry with others. The Ban family's move could be said to be against Emperor Yunqing.

The Ban family has no actual position in the court. If Emperor Yunqing is disgusted, life will be difficult for the Ban family. But everyone in the Ban family was so stubborn, and their attitude toward His Majesty, who was still the Marquis at that time, remained the same.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when the time is right. They somewhat understood why His Majesty was so kind to the Ban family after he ascended the throne. If they have an in-law who will always treat you no matter whether you are prominent or poor, they will also be grateful for this kindness.

Speaking of which, this family's luck is really inexplicably good. They cannot be killed by assassination, but a family of dandies can live a prosperous life.

This is fate, it is destined by God, and others cannot even think of it.

Mrs. Zhou quietly returned to the queue of women. The Yin family who was lined up with her nodded and smiled at her when she saw her return.

As the emperor's mother-in-law, the Yin family had a very high status among the female relatives, and even Mrs. Zhou had to give way to her. Seeing Mrs. Yin smiling at her, Mrs. Zhou smiled back. She whispered beside Mr. Yin, "Congratulations, madam, for finding a good son-in-law."

I still remember that she proposed marriage to the son of the Yan family three years ago. At that time, in the eyes of everyone, the second son of the Yan family was dizzy, and the Ban family was even more eye-catching. Even the talented and handsome second son of the Prime Minister's family I don't like them all. Unexpectedly, fate is so interesting. The Yan family has long since declined, and the Ban family is still the Ban family that few people dare to mess with.

If the Ban family had been a little cruel and let Queen Ban marry Yan Erlang regardless of their daughter's wishes, the Ban family would no longer have a foothold in the court.

Chenglong is a quick son-in-law, Chenglong is a quick son-in-law, the Ban family has really found a Chenglong son-in-law. Anyone with a daughter would not envy his family's vision.

"It's only three times that you've had bad luck three times. Why don't you just wait and save the good luck for later?" Mrs. Yin knew that Mrs. Zhou was trying to show her kindness. She smiled and looked up at the emperor who was standing side by side in the palace. The smile on my daughter's face was a little indifferent, "I don't ask for much, I just hope that she will have a worry-free life and grow old hand in hand with His Majesty."

Mrs. Zhou’s eyebrows moved slightly, she opened her mouth and fell silent.

How can a woman who has become an emperor be free from worries in this life?

If your majesty can never forget the old relationship and always love the queen, that will be the best ending.

She understands this, and presumably Duke Jingting also knows it, but she can't say it, and Duke Jingting doesn't want to understand.

After the empress sealing ceremony was over, the banquet began. Banhua replaced the heavy phoenix crown on her head and reappeared wearing a Fengxiang Jiutian Palace skirt and a Feiyun bun.

The emperor and empress shared a table, and after drinking three cups with the ministers, everyone became casual.

Banhua secretly rubbed her neck, with a small look on her face, but whispered: "Is my neck bent?"

"It's still straight and looks good," Rong Xia pinched her back, which made her shrink away from it, "Don't make trouble, it's itchy."

Rong Xia whispered in her ear: "When you get back, I'll give you a massage."

"Just a massage?" Banhua looked at him suspiciously. ,

Rong Xia gave her a very gentle smile.

"Beast." Banhua cursed in a low voice.

"I'll treat you like a beast." Rong Xia said righteously, "You must be responsible for me."

Banhua raised her eyebrows: "I'm not good enough to you in normal times?"

Rong Xia secretly squeezed Banhua's hand on the table: "It can be better."

Wang De stood upright behind the emperor and empress, his face serious, but his heart was already in turmoil. Who would have thought that the emperor and empress could talk so...shamelessly?

"Father," Ban Heng, who was sitting below, whispered to Ban Huai, "have you heard about it?"

"What?" Ban Huai put down his chopsticks, lowered his head and took a sip of wine, with a blush on his face after drinking.

"Recently, some ministers have prepared a plan to report to His Majesty, asking him to recruit more people into the harem and spread the branches." Ban Heng felt that these courtiers were quite nosy, and they would worry about other people's harem affairs when they had nothing to do. If you have this intention, why not think about how to benefit the people.

"I think these ministers have bad intentions. His Majesty has just ascended the throne and the throne has not yet been warmed up, so they are eager to let your Majesty have a concubine. Does this make the people of the world think that your Majesty is an impatient person?" Ban Huai scolded. He said, "Whoever says this is trying to disrupt the foundation of our great victory. Maybe he is a remnant of the previous dynasty."

Ban Heng nodded: "Father is right!"

The female relatives looked at the intimate movements between the emperor and the empress, and they were extremely envious of Banhua. She just married the most beautiful man in the capital, but who would have thought that this handsome man would turn around and become an emperor, and she would suddenly become a queen.

When they were young, they couldn't compare with Banhua, but they didn't expect that even after changing dynasties, they still couldn't compare. This is so jealous that they can't even get jealous.

"I wonder if women from the Yang family will regret it later?" A female family member glanced at the female family member sitting at the end and said in a weird tone, "That's the Yang family, right? I didn't expect that she could come to this occasion today. , Aren’t you afraid that His Majesty will be in a bad mood when he sees her?”

"What can be said about this kind of woman?" Another female family member laughed sarcastically, "His Majesty's brother's body was still cold, so she couldn't wait to remarry. At that time, many people said that Yang had long since married the man he married. I don’t know, I’m just waiting for Rong Dalang to die.”

"This...can't be true. Didn't it mean that Yang had a child in her belly at that time?"

"When Rong Dalang was so ill, it was unclear whether the child was his." The female family member's laughter became even colder. "Who knows why she didn't have that child? Anyway, if I were Your Majesty, I would never forget this. Humiliation."

The other female family members kept silent. After all, this matter involved the private affairs of His Majesty's family. They were afraid that if they talked too much, it would be of no benefit to His Majesty.

Ms. Yang didn't know that the other female family members were talking about her. She was sitting at the end of the hall, not even daring to raise her head. She never thought that the ten-year-old child of the Rong family would have the courage to rebel and become the emperor of the new dynasty.

Her current husband's parents thought that she had a close relationship with His Majesty, so they tried their best to get her to appear in the hall, but her hands and feet felt cold and she didn't even have the courage to look at the Emperor and the Empress.

At the end of the banquet, Ms. Yang didn't take a few bites of the food. She stood up in a daze and followed the flow of people out of the hall. It wasn't until sharp laughter came from behind that she came to her senses.

"Your Majesty is so kind to your empress."

"The queen looks so beautiful in her phoenix robe, majestic and gorgeous."

"No, with the Queen here, we people are like gray dumplings."

Ms. Yang turned around and saw several female family members gathered together, saying various good things about the Queen. She knew these women. When the Ban family was ransacked by the violent king, they were still gloating about the misfortune, but now they had a different look.

At this time, a woman passed by her, and Yang couldn't help but said: "Mrs. Zhao."

The person she called was Mrs. Zhao Zhong. She heard that Mrs. Zhao Zhong had a good relationship with the Queen. It would be great if she could meet the Queen with Mrs. Zhao's recommendation.

She did something wrong that year, but the three members of the Rong family died in strange ways. Although she didn't know who did it, they definitely did not die in a normal way. She is greedy for life and afraid of death, hard-hearted and cold-blooded. His Majesty can take revenge on her however he wants, but he does not dare to harm her family and her two children.

"Who are you?" Mrs. Zhao had not spent much time in the capital and was not familiar with the Yang family, so she was a little surprised to see a timid-looking woman calling her.

"I am the Yang family, the grandson-in-law of Wang Zijue."

When Mrs. Zhao thought about it carefully, she suddenly realized: "It turns out to be Mrs. Wang."

Ms. Yang looked a little embarrassed and saluted Mrs. Wang solemnly again, "I have met Mrs. Zhao."

"Mrs. Wang, there is no need to be polite," Mrs. Zhao said with a calm expression, "I wonder why Mrs. Wang stopped me."

"I have something to ask of you, please let Mrs. Zhao agree."

Mrs. Zhao guessed her intention and said directly before Yang could speak: "I probably know what you mean. I will mention this to the Queen. As for whether the Queen is willing to see you, I can't guarantee it." ."

Mrs. Zhao was very grateful for her willingness to help, so she thanked Mrs. Zhao repeatedly. Mrs. Zhao didn't say much to her, turned around and walked with Yin and other noble ladies.

Seeing how they were being complimented by other female relatives, Ms. Yang couldn't help but think that if she had not rushed to remarry back then, but waited for Rong Xia to get through the most difficult period before marrying someone else, what would she be like today? Couldn't he be one of them?

"Sister Zhao, did Yang just come to find you?" Mrs. Zhou looked back at Yang, who was standing there, and whispered, "She... you should stay away."

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, sister, I will do it."

Yin Shi said: "Looking at your temperament, you are not a nosy person. Could it be that the Queen Mother said something?"

Mrs. Zhao did not expect that Mrs. Jingting would guess so accurately. She lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty did mention to me a few days ago that she wanted to see what kind of person Yang is."

Yin Shi laughed and shook his head helplessly for a long time.

This child is still acting so unscrupulously. This Yang will definitely not be welcomed by His Majesty. Why should he meet someone who is not welcomed by His Majesty?

In the Dayue Palace, Banhua was lying on the dragon bed, lying weakly and bonelessly on Rong Xia, but her hands were dishonest, tapping him here and there.

"Huahua," Rong Xia grabbed her rebellious hand, "Do you still feel pain?"

Banhua blinked and smiled, "Guess?"

"You'll know once you try it," Rong Xia pressed the person under him, took her earlobe into his mouth, and said in a vague voice, "I'll rub it for you, and it won't hurt anymore."

This press lasted for more than half an hour. Banhua wrapped herself in the quilt and watched Rong Xia dress and tie her hair. She also stayed up late to review memorials. She felt an indescribable sense of schadenfreude and couldn't help but stretch out her hand. With smooth arms, he waved to Rong Xia and said, "Your Majesty, work hard."

"I think you are gloating," Rong Xia straightened her clothes, walked to the bed and bent down to kiss Banhua on the lips, "Didn't you say you wanted to practice calligraphy a few days ago? You just happened to accompany me to the study. ."

“Don’t you know that a woman’s words in bed can’t be trusted?” Banhua covered her face with the quilt and hid her whole body in the quilt, “Go quickly, don’t disturb my sleep.”

Rong Xia patted her **** through the quilt: "You heartless person, you don't mean what you say."

Poof.

Throwing out a jade pendant from the quilt, it was Rong Xia who dropped it just now.

"Hey, this is what I'm going to reward you, girl. It's worth a thousand taels of gold. Take it."

Rong Xia took the jade pendant from the quilt and tied it around his waist: "Girl, I'll come find you again in the evening." After saying that, he saw the small bag in the quilt move and went out with a smile.

The palace people, who have long been accustomed to such petty emotions between emperors and empresses, said that their emotions were very stable and they did not feel uncomfortable at all.

On the second day of the Queen's Ceremony, another imperial edict was issued. The main purpose was to congratulate my queen on her official appointment. We want everyone to celebrate. This year, the national tax will be reduced by 30%.

Because of King Ru’s troubles, the people were more or less affected, and the 30% tax reduction was a great joy to them.

For a time, all the people in the capital were praising His Majesty and the Queen. Some wished them a long life, and some wished them a full family of descendants and filial piety. Within a few days, the rumor became that the Queen was a golden phoenix in the world who came specially to assist His Majesty in enthroning the throne. If His Majesty and the Queen were together, the Great Victory would be better and better.

This kind of mythical rumor is very popular among some people, but the courtiers do not take it seriously. After all, there are still people outside who say that His Majesty is a real dragon descending to earth, and that a real dragon is paired with a golden phoenix. This is all an old cliché in fairy tales.

This story is so old-fashioned that it is no longer popular in bookstores.

So not long after, officials reported that Your Majesty was in his prime and the harem was empty, so he should recruit more women into the palace to serve as female officials or concubines.

There are indeed not many people in the harem now. Some older ones were let out by Rong Xia, and no new ones were selected to enter the harem, so the harem seems to be a bit sparse. However, there are few masters in the harem now, and it seems that there are still some palace people left. If His Majesty takes concubines in the future, and princes and daughters are born, these palace people will not be enough.

The courtiers were also unsure of the extent of the emperor's feelings for the queen, so they did not dare to speak too harshly, so they listed the palace selector and the female selector together, giving them room to take a step back.

"The world is settled, and I cannot bear to waste the people and money, so there is no need to mention the matter of choosing a woman," Rong Xia said with a sullen face, "As the emperor, how can you indulge in female lust? You should put the people first."

"Your Majesty is benevolent."

"Your Majesty is so lucky for all people."

The ministers were so moved that they all knelt down and praised Rong Xia's benevolence. For a while, no one had the nerve to mention the concubine.

As for being addicted to women...

The emperor likes to be with the queen, how can he be called addicted to women? That was obviously a sign of the harmonious relationship between the emperor and the empress, their love for the empress, and the great victory of the dynasty towards its peak.

If His Majesty is not willing to accept a concubine now, then he will not accept her. They will ask again next year.

When Banhua learned that the court officials had written to let Rong Xia accept the concubine, he was playing with a bird in the bird room. After listening to the palace servant's report, she was silent for a moment, "I understand."

"Your Majesty," Ruyi said, "Your Majesty will not make your Majesty sad."

The empress gently touched the head of a parrot. The parrot obediently let her touch it. She couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't Your Majesty not agree? How come your expressions are uglier than mine?"

Ruyi forced a smile and said, "I'm just making a fuss out of a molehill."

With my temperament, how can I bear to share a husband with other women? If Your Majesty doesn’t accept a concubine now, can he not accept a concubine in the future? When the time comes, there will definitely be conflicts that are difficult to mediate between the Empress and Your Majesty.

"Ruyi, you have been with me for so many years, why don't you understand?" Banhua took back the hand that teased the parrot, took the handkerchief handed by the palace maid and wiped it clean, "I never worry about things that have not happened yet. things and add trouble to yourself."

As long as Rong Xia treats her wholeheartedly, she can enjoy it with peace of mind. If he changes his mind one day...

Ban Hua looked out the window. A man in mysterious clothes stepped through the door and walked in. He was imposing, completely opposite to the gentle look he had when they first met.

The man raised his head, and she leaned on the window lattice and waved to him.

The originally majestic man suddenly smiled, and his smile was so beautiful that he must have been gentler and more charming when they first met.

If that day comes, we cannot deny the feelings we have had over the years.

If he is ruthless, she will let him go. There are many beauties in the world. He raised his concubines, and she raised her male favorites. No one owed anything to the other.

"What are you thinking about?" Rong Xia walked to the window and kissed her forehead.

"I'm thinking about how to do things more fairly."

"Fair?" Rong Xia didn't know what was going on in Banhua's mind, so she climbed in the window like a young man, "As long as I'm here, Huahua doesn't have to talk to others about fairness."

His move scared the palace people behind him so much that they wanted to jump into the window first and put their bodies under Rong Xia's feet.

Huahua couldn't help laughing loudly when she saw Rong Xia climbing through the window.

"Okay."
