488: Let Out some Anger

The funeral of the late emperor was held in great splendor. The prince has been following the government in recent years. The other princes, Prince Rong, followed the prince steadfastly. King Jing and King Wu were also obedient. Only one prince, Prince Xiang, was still unable to stick to the wall. The succession to the throne was also very smooth.

Except for the first day when His Majesty was in a coma during his last few days, His Majesty was very conscious in the following days and explained the matter clearly. The Crown Prince's ascension to the throne was justified.

Su Xinyi has been confused these days. The Queen Mother, oh, she is the Queen Mother now. She will do whatever the Queen Mother says. After the Crown Prince ascends the throne, it will be Su Xinyi's Queen's Ceremony. What Su Xinyi did not expect is that Yan Heng was named the prince.

Not just Su Xinyi, everyone was surprised.

Even when Yan Heng was still young, some courtiers were dissatisfied and raised questions.

Then, Prime Minister Wang took out His Majesty's imperial edict, which sealed Yan Heng as the crown prince.

As soon as the late emperor's edict came out, everyone shut their mouths.

His Majesty left two final edicts: the first enthroned the prince, and the second made Yan Heng the prince.

One is Su Xinyi's husband, and the other is Su Xinyi's son.

At this time, countless honors fell on her, and courtiers and wives, both inside and outside, looked up to this bloodline that the Duke of Qi brought back from the countryside, the woman they once called a village girl.

After the conferment ceremony, Su Xinyi and Yan Junchu, the most noble couple in the world, finally had time to get along quietly.

Su Xinyi tried to force out a smile, but for some reason her eyes turned red and tears fell first.

Yan Junchu sighed softly, hugged the person into his arms, and his eyes turned red.

Su Xinyi cried heartily, and the depression in her heart finally dissipated. The two of them lay side by side in the tent and whispered.

"I will be very busy next time. Please take care of yourself and don't let me worry." Yan Junchu never expected that Xin Yi, with such a strong temperament, would be so sad at the late emperor's funeral.

"I know." Su Xinyi was wrapped in two lifetimes of sadness mixed together. The sadness was not only because of the death of the late emperor, but also a lot of sadness and melancholy that she couldn't explain clearly. She just wanted to have a good time. Have a cry.

She has always had a cautious and restrained temperament. Except for the flames in her previous life, she rarely acted so unscrupulously. Even though she lived a comfortable and comfortable life after her rebirth, there was always a tension in her heart.

If she wanted to push the brothers and sisters of the Duke of Qi's mansion forward, and if she wanted to lead this head up by herself, she had to be strong-willed to open up the situation. She also wanted to repay His Majesty the Crown Prince's kindness, but in the end, she was granted a marriage by His Majesty. Because of this, after getting married, she seemed not to offend her, but privately she was even more cautious, for fear of causing trouble to His Majesty.

She is living a more comfortable life than in her previous life, but as she stands in a higher position, she actually has to be more cautious.

She knew what she would face in the future, but she never imagined that before his death, His Majesty would pave the way for her and make Yan Heng the prince.

According to the title given by the late emperor, if Yan Junchu's relationship with her really changes in the future, no one can change the position of the prince.

Because of this, Su Xinyi actually felt even more uncomfortable. She didn't show much respect to His Majesty, but in the end she received such a great favor. She felt guilty when she thought about it.

Yan Junchu was surprised that Xin Yi was so sad. The more she felt like this, the more he felt that she was a temperamental person, hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

Hugging the person tightly, Yan Junchu whispered to Xin Yi: "The new emperor will grant amnesty to the world when he ascends the throne. I am afraid that the matter between Taishi Li and Concubine Li will be delayed, but if you are punished with death, you will not be able to escape."

Su Xinyi expected that in this situation, it is really not good to go too far. She said softly: "Where is the Concubine Li? The Queen Mother has sent me a letter. I will go over to discuss this matter with her tomorrow." thing."

Su Xinyi moved into Yuanhui Palace. Before the decree of canonizing the queen came down, the queen took the initiative to move to Furui Palace. Furui Palace was originally a place for the queen mother to live. The late emperor's biological mother and aunt's mother did not live long. Therefore, not long after he ascended the throne, Furui Palace was idle and was well repaired. It was no worse than Yuanhui Palace.

Yuanhui Palace is the residence of the Queen. The Queen Mother is so knowledgeable, and Su Xinyi naturally has feelings in her heart.

Yan Junchu turned his head to look at Xin Yi's thoughtful look, and said thoughtfully: "Since it is a general amnesty for the whole world, you can ask the Empress Dowager, is the Shu family willing to grant a reward?"

Su Xinyi knew that Yan Junchu was reciprocating the favor and the Queen Mother treated her with courtesy, so he was naturally willing to honor the Shu family and bring glory to the Queen Mother.

Su Xinyi was really not sure what the Queen Mother meant, "I'll ask the Queen Mother tomorrow."

Yan Junchu nodded, and then said: "You are the queen now, so you should be rewarded by the Su family. What do you think?"

Su Xinyi was stunned, "The Su family is already the Duke's palace, how can we seal it? At most, it can only be sealed."

As usual, the empress's natal family mostly received titles such as Cheng'en and Feng'en. Looking at the scenery, their foundation was actually very weak. But the Duke of Qi is different. With a serious family background, there is no need to add such a title.

But it has to be sealed, which is embarrassing.

Su Xinyi frowned slightly as she thought about this matter, and said softly: "Now that the Su family has reached the highest level of Dukedom, there is no title for it. In my opinion, your Majesty might as well reward you with some gold and silver."

This is low-key and affordable, and also prevents the Su family from being roasted on the fire.

Yan Junchu suddenly became happy, "I knew you would say this. That's the kind of temper you have. You have to be careful in everything."

Su Xinyi:......

"What do you mean, Your Majesty? Come and let me hear it." Su Xinyi snorted. Could he have a better way?

"I have an idea, please listen to it."

Su Xinyi nodded, "You say."

"Have you ever thought about offering incense to your father-in-law's adopted heir?"

Su Xinyi was startled, remembering what happened in her previous life. She hesitated and then said, "I am willing, but my mother is not willing."

After speaking, he sighed again, resting his head on Yan Junchu's shoulder and neck, and wrapping his arms around his waist, "This matter was discussed in the family before, but my mother refused directly, and my grandfather and grandmother were not willing to force my mother, so this matter The matter was settled.”

Yan Junchu didn't know about this, so he thought about it and said, "It was in the past. Before you got it back, my mother-in-law probably felt that there was no need to cause trouble anymore when she had nothing to offer, but it's different now. With you and Yan Heng, my mother-in-law’s thoughts may not have changed. Besides, I think Su Li is a good adoptee, what do you think?”

Su Xinyi sat up in surprise and looked at Yan Junchu.

Yan Junchu also sat up and looked at Xin Yi, "You don't want to? I was thinking about Su Li who has been walking with the caravan in the past few years. I admire both him and Su Deng. It's a pity that Su Deng is the legitimate son, and I'm afraid that Huaining The Su family is reluctant to adopt him. "

Su Xinyi had always felt ashamed of her mother in her previous life. Her mother focused all her thoughts on her, and she worked so hard for her that she suffered a physical breakdown and died young.

She always thought that her mother didn't like children, but the last time Xie Kun and Shi Yun were raised at her place, she really felt that her mother was completely different during those days.

Therefore, she knew that her mother loved her children.

She looked at Yan Junchu and suddenly became a little nervous, "I don't know if my mother will agree. I hope that my mother will have children and grandchildren around her for the rest of her life and be happy and healthy. She is so good to me, and I want to honor her."

"Ask your mother to come into the palace and have a good talk with her. If your mother-in-law doesn't like Su Li, you can choose an adoptive one you like. All these can be discussed." At this point, Yan Junchu looked at Xin Yi and said softly: "My father-in-law has a great reputation throughout his life. I also hope that he can be worshiped by future generations."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a long time before she fell into Yan Junchu's arms. She didn't expect that Yan Junchu would take the time to think so much about her when he was so busy when he ascended the throne.

She also understood what he meant. The Duke of Qi's Palace was the Duke of Qi's Palace. Su Yi and her relationship were indeed very good, but if it continued, there was no telling what would happen to their descendants.

However, the fourth family adopted an heir, and that was their orthodox branch, passed down through the same line, and could be continued by descendants.

From now on, it will be a good thing for her as the queen and Yan Heng.

Therefore, since the Duke of Qi's palace could not be sealed, the fourth room was separated, and her position as the queen would be more stable. This was Yan Junchu's way of announcing to the world that he valued her as the queen.

Su Xinyi's mind was in a mess, "Let me think about it and then talk about it."

Such a big matter needs to be discussed with the family.

"Think about it slowly. When you think about it, I will have room here to arrange this."

Su Xinyi nodded. There were many people waiting for the reward after the new emperor ascended the throne. They had to queue up slowly. It was not a big deal for the courtiers to come first, and the queen's family to move back slightly.

"Go to bed early, you have been working hard these days."

Su Xinyi lay down obediently, leaning against Yan Junchu's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat. She originally thought she would not be able to sleep, but she soon fell asleep.

Yan Junchu patted Xin Yi's back gently and closed his eyes for a while. There were so many people staring at the Duke of Qi's mansion, the queen, and the prince. He wanted to protect their mother and son.

The Duke's Mansion of Qi cannot be exposed to the fire, so it can only be divided into two. Adoption is the best way he can think of at the moment. It will not damage the glory of the Su family, but it will also make people think that he is afraid of separating the Su family. Only in this way can the Su family be stable, and the fourth house can be continued, which is worthy of his father-in-law's loyalty to Southern Qi.

On the second day, Su Xinyi got up a little late. Because the new emperor had no other concubines, she was quite relaxed as a bare queen.

The Queen Mother didn't let her set rules, so it didn't matter if she got up a little late.

She knew that Yan Junchu had gone to the morning court. She knew when he got up in the morning, but she was too sleepy to move.

I simply had breakfast with Yan Heng. At such a young age, Yan Heng did not understand the meaning of the late emperor's death. He changed his place of residence for a few days to freshen up, and then figured out the way to Zichen Palace, so he always headed there. She ran away, but could not see the late emperor. When he came back, he asked her with words and gestures.

Facing the expectation in his son's eyes, Su Xinyi could only smile and tell him that the emperor's grandfather had gone to a far away place, and he would find out when he grew up.

Yan Heng thought that the emperor's grandfather had gone out. He knew how to go out, just like his parents would go out.

Looking at her son's smile, Su Xinyi felt very melancholy. The child was still too young and would gradually fade over time, leaving only a mark. When he gets older, he will not remember what happened when he was one or two years old, and will forget the appearance of the late emperor.

Time will take away many things, and it will also bring many things. For example, the late emperor's love for him will be his greatest protection in life.

After breakfast, they simply took Yan Heng to the Queen Mother's place. The Queen Mother was really happy to see Yan Heng. They played with him for a while, but Yan Heng couldn't hold on anymore and ran away, so he had time to talk.

The Queen Mother was in good spirits. Su Xinyi knew that the relationship between the Queen Mother and the late Emperor had been worn away by the competition for favor in the harem. It was good that way, at least the Queen Mother could live a good life now.

"I asked you to come here because I have something to discuss." The Queen Mother sent tea and only left Zhao Ma to serve, and sent the others away.

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "Mother, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

The Queen Mother sighed lightly, "I have been busy all my life, and now I can finally relax a little. Don't think of asking me to work for you again."

Su Xinyi was amused at once. The Queen Mother's words were too straightforward, but she also secretly told her that she would not seize the power of the palace, so that she, as the queen, would be justified.

"Mother, you are my greatest support, and I feel at ease." Su Xinyi smiled. She and the Queen Mother have been getting along well in the past few years, and she hopes that they can continue to get along like this in the future.

After all, as the queen mother, it is impossible for Prince Rong to be taken away to be taken care of. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will have to live together in the harem for many years.

The queen mother smiled, looked at Xinyi and said: "What does your majesty have to do with Li's matter?"

Hearing the queen mother calling the former Concubine Li as Li, Su Xinyi could feel the queen mother's attitude. The two had been fighting for a lifetime, and now the queen mother finally sat in the position of the winner.

Su Xinyi remembered what Yan Junchu said last night, and said directly: "Mother, your majesty still has to rely on you for the affairs of the harem. Li is suspected of murdering the prince, and she will be punished sooner or later. However, your majesty has just ascended the throne and is busy with affairs, and he has to grant amnesty to the world, so this matter has to be postponed, but how to deal with it is still up to you."

The queen mother understood that the emperor was handing the matter of dealing with Li to her to let her vent her anger.

The Queen Mother was really relieved from head to toe. She smiled and said to Xinyi, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne. Reputation is more important than anything else. Li can no longer be the noble concubine. If you punish her with a white silk, it will inevitably cause criticism for the Emperor. I think we should demote her to a talented person."

Su Xinyi was startled. A talented person was the lowest-ranking concubine in the palace. If she was demoted to a talented person, she would not even be able to become a concubine. Moreover, with this position, the King of Xiang could not take her out of the palace to take care of her. In this palace, even a palace maid dared to bully her. I am afraid that she will be trapped in the harem for the rest of her life.

Su Xinyi naturally did not pity Li. After all, their family wanted to harm their own son.

Just when she thought of this, she heard the Queen Mother say, "There is another thing. You have to have an opinion in your mind. After the new year, the new emperor will ascend the throne and start the selection. You should plan early."
