The Story of the Charming Empress - C58
“You — you won.” Chen heard my sarcasm and glared at me, unable to say a word.
I turned around and led the group away. During this night, it was likely that no one in the Yuan Xin Pavilion would be able to sleep in peace.
I didn’t sleep all night, I only taught people to be gentle with Yuexin, and even so, after thirty boards Yuexin still lost half her life, just a breath of life.
“Pleased heart, you can only be at ease and guard the Royal Tomb. I will teach people how to take good care of you.” I cried.
“Empress …” Empress, there is no need to be like this. This servant, this servant, I have earned my punishment for my crimes. ” Yue Xin gasped for breath, her voice was extremely weak. Her pale face slightly frowned, and she forcefully endured the pain.
“No one is around right now, so you don’t have to say it again. I definitely don’t believe that you would drug the soup.” I kept a close eye on Pleasant, and though I was sure she was pleasant, there was still a trace of indecision in my voice, and I hoped she would tell the truth.
Pleased, she nodded and softly said:
Last night, I personally made the ginseng soup and personally delivered it. I did not encounter any problems on the way, so the Empress must be careful, Chen Zhen will not let this go. Her goal is to take your place.
I solemnly nod my head. In that case, Hong Hua must have been personally sent to Chen Ying Hall, since the maids never had the chance to approach Shen Tang. In that case, I’m afraid that only Chen Chong could do this!
I sighed in my heart. This is so cruel. For the position of Empress, I would not hesitate to make a move on the fetus in my womb. How is this any different from a snake or a scorpion? Compared with Yang Guang’s viciousness, Chen Wu was even more vicious.
A sneer surfaced on his face as he said:
“In the future, I will definitely be a hundred times more careful and not give her any more opportunities to take advantage of me.”
There was a smile on her face, but also a trace of contempt.
This is the pity of the heavens. She did all she could think of, but she did not consider the deep feelings the crown prince had for the empress. For the empress to receive such love from the crown prince, life in the palace will be much easier in the future.
No matter how terrible Yang Guang is, he still has some feelings for me as husband and wife. If I am heartless, I’m afraid that the Empress’s court dress that was made for me all night long will have to change hands.
When the sun rose, she arranged a sedan chair and told Ah He to send her heart to the imperial mausoleum. She also secretly gave her a lot of money to help her pass the time away from the palace guards of the imperial mausoleum.
Today is the day of Yang Guangxing’s inauguration ceremony, morning, the sun is warm, I wear vermilion court dress, specks of gold embroidery in the sunlight overflowing a body of brilliance, inlaid with different colored gems gold phoenix crown, eye-catching, behind me, the maidservants supporting me long drag the skirt, breeze gently, magnificent.
Zhao’er was also dressed in luxurious clothing. She had a jade crown on her head as she followed by his side. Her small figure stood straight and covered up her usual naughtiness. Her expression was grave as she walked forward in accordance with the steps I taught her.
Walking out of Yuanxin Pavilion, I saw Chen, who was leaning against the door frame, staring at me and Zhao’er. His face was filled with resentment and unwillingness, but his complexion was a bit haggard. I saw that it was still early, so I turned back and walked a few steps to Chen, who greeted me with a cold voice:
“Your servant greets the empress!”
I didn’t try to support her, but I smiled with concern.
“The wind outside is strong, my sister is weak, you must not go out, if you hurt the son of the emperor, what should I do?”
“This servant will follow Empress’s instructions!” Chen’s language, each word comes from the gap between the teeth.
“According to the rules, little sisters are not allowed to attend the inauguration ceremony. However, the Emperor has already passed down the imperial edict to confer little sister the title of ‘Honorable Chen’. After noon, someone will naturally come to pick her up and bring her to the palace.” I raised my head and lowered my eyes, speaking to her in such a haughty tone. Although she didn’t raise her eyes, I could see the jealousy and hatred on her face.
“Thank you for Empress’s concern, but this servant has also reminded Empress that the wind is strong in the Heavenly Altar, and it is extremely cold in the high places. You must wear the phoenix coronet tight, or else it will be easy to blow over.” Finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room.
I smiled coldly, took Zhao’er’s hand, and left.
The ascension ceremony was extremely complicated. First, Yang Guang, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, went to the Heaven Altar to offer sacrifice to the Emperor.
I took Zhao’er to the altar, lit three incense sticks, performed three kowtows and nine kowtows, pressed my hairpin rings on my head, shook my feet to bring light. Fine pearls hung down on my forehead, and as I bent down to pay my respects, I covered up my bright eyes and felt the brilliance in front of me, noble to the extreme, but also had an indescribably cold feeling.
High above the cold, I repeatedly savor Chen Fu’s words, the heart is even more awe-inspiring.
“This official wishes His Majesty thousands of years of life, Her Highness the empress thousands of years of life, and His Highness the crown prince thousands of years of life!” Together with Yang Guang, he stood shoulder to shoulder on top of the Heaven Altar, looking down on all the other officials, glancing at Zhi Zun beside him. His smile was bright, like the spring breeze blowing, it was filled with pride.
