Chapter VII Succession of the New Emperor
Returning to the palace, in the main hall of Tsinghua Palace, Shen Mu Chen Jing sat on the Tai Sui chair.
He slid down so that his neck could be placed on the back of the chair, and the tea surface was steaming, until the water was cold and he didn't drink it.
He closed his eyes and emptied his head, so that he could completely rest.
Just when I was most relaxed, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the door, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and followed by a bang.
The door was pushed open.
Shen Muchen knew who the visitor was without opening his eyes. There were not many people in this palace who dared to break in with such a "rules". He frowned impatiently and changed into a more comfortable position, and continued to squint his eyes and rest.
Without what he wanted, Yandong's voice suddenly penetrated into his skull, "Your Highness, where are you going? Something big has happened in the palace!" Yandong looked aggrieved. If outsiders saw him like this, he would definitely think that he had a habit of breaking his sleeves.
"If you have something to say," Shen Muchen straightened his waist and looked disdainful. He wanted to say that there was something more important in this palace than the death of the former king? Seeing that Yandong wanted to speak but stopped, Chen stood up and wanted to leave. "I'm sleepy and go to bed. You can rest as long as you have nothing to do."
"Mr. Qingyan County... entered the Imperial City late at night!" Yan Dongfang ran over and felt a little out of breath, and the whole sentence was mixed with gasping sounds.
When he heard the name Qingyan, Mu Chen's head began to hurt, as if he felt despair. "What are she going to do?"
"Tomorrow, Your Highness Tian ascended the throne, and the Lord of Qingyan County has just arrived in the palace."
"She had already had a engagement with Zitian, so what did she have to do with me when she came to the palace?" Mu Chen took off his coat and was about to walk towards the inner room.
"But she did not see His Highness Zitian when she entered the palace, but instead came to Tsinghua Palace!" Yandong, who had started to breathe heavily from the first sentence, finally reached the point. Chu Qingyan's team had settled half an hour ago, but the county lord had not entered Luchen Palace to find His Highness Zitian for a long time, but he had been staying in the room and wondering what he was doing.
A few minutes ago, someone saw the county lord change into a fresh dress. In addition to the palace walking towards Tsinghua Palace, now, it is probably on the way to come...
Just as Yandong's words had just fallen less than a second, the maid outside the door spoke, "Your Highness Chen, County Lord Qingyan, please see you~"
Without considering it, Mu Chen told Yandong, "Tell her that I have rested and no see you."
Shen Muchen's head was very clear. Chu Qingyan was originally Shen Zitian's fiancée's wife. Now it's late at night and the night before Zitian ascended the throne. When he met her rashly, he would definitely be polite. Pretending to sleep is indeed a smart choice.
After Shen Muchen ordered, he left the bedroom directly. Yandong nodded and turned around and opened the door halfway.
Standing at the door was Chu Qingyan. She has four identities since she was born. She was the eldest daughter of the Chu family. When she was ten years old, she was called the number one beauty in the imperial city by the people. At the age of fourteen, she was named the county lord by the former king. After she was fourteen years old, she made a marriage contract with Shen Zitian.
Yandong just opened the door and saw a light green elegant gauze skirt. He raised his eyes and said that Chu Qingyan was different from usual, and it was a bit unreasonable, but it was as delicate as before, but it faded a little and made it look more elegant.
"Mr. County Lord, Your Highness has rested. Tomorrow is the ceremony of His Highness Zitian's ascension ceremony, and the county lord should also rest early."
Chu Qingyan put his hands in front of his abdomen and looked inward. It was indeed pitch black inside without any candlelight.
"Why did Your Highness rest so early?..." Chu Qingyan knew about this.
"Your Highness has been in a state of trouble because of the affairs of the former king in recent days, and he fell asleep when he was tired." Yandong quickly came up with a countermeasure.
Chu Qingyan's eyes fell slightly, and she was full of disappointment. She said softly and turned around and left.
Yandong sent Qingyan away, closed the door, poured the water cup on the table and replaced it with a new one, turned around and walked into the inner room.
Yandong pushed the door open and saw Shen Muchen sitting at the corner of the bed, flipping through books under the moonlight.
"Your Highness really won't see the county lord?" He handed the hot tea to him. "Your Highness is not worried about dressing up but not seeing you?"
"She has nothing to do with me except for the friendship I have had since childhood." Shen Muchen's eyes stayed on the book, took the hot tea and drank it warmly. "Another, it's up to her relationship with my brother that I shouldn't meet her more often."
Yandong nodded slightly after hearing his words. "I understand, then I'll step down first."
"Well, in the future, as long as she looks for me, I will help me push it."
………….
The next day, all the officials and envoys outside the hall knelt on the ground. In the hall facing south, a set of crown robes were placed on the golden dragon chaise. The Prime Minister led all the ministers and the officials knelt in front of Shen Zitian: "The ceremony was completed, please ascend the throne."
Surrounded by all officials, Shen Zitian was wearing a robe embroidered with gold and black embroidered robe under Ban Le and slowly walked towards the dragon chaise.
On this day, Shen Muchen was also there. He stood at the front of the team, wearing a dark black suit, without too much decoration, just wearing a white dragon hollow jade pendant around his waist.
Shen Zitian walked to the front of the team and stood in front of the dragon chaise. Ban Le stopped. The eunuch walked from the side to the chair and held up the crowned dragon robe with his hands. There were 9 dragons embroidered on the dragon robe, with five-color clouds. The yellow and extremely noble dragon robe was just right on Shen Zitian. When he threw his long sleeves behind him, the ministers knelt down one after another.
"Long live the emperor!" The voice resounded through the sky and could almost spread throughout the imperial city.
Shen Zitian sat steadily on the throne and looked down at the ministers below. His expression was extremely cold and indifferent. Finally, he raised his hand and shouted majesticly, "Flat!!"
There were many rituals of all sizes at the ceremony, and more than an hour had passed after a ceremony.
After the ceremony, all the civil and military officials watched Shen Zitian leave before leaving one after another.
"Mu Chen..." Just as Shen Mu Chen turned around and was about to leave, Chu Qingyan's voice came from behind. If she hadn't called him, Mu Chen would have known that she had also participated in this throne ceremony.
After the ministers left, Shen Muchen turned around, with a cold and coldness that made people unable to get close to. He said, "Is there anything wrong?" He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.
Chu Qingyan was about to say something, but she didn't expect that he would be so cold. After a long time of awkwardness, her eyes slightly squinted to another place, and she chuckled and said, "We have not seen each other again in the three months since I learned that you were going to Yangcheng, but you are fine..."
Shen Muchen's eyes moved from Chu Qingyan to behind her. He interrupted her and saluted behind Qingyan. "Your Majesty, the county lord happened to be unable to find the way back to the palace and I had chatted with me a few more words. Since Your Majesty is here, I will hand over the county lord to Your Majesty and I will leave."
Qingyan turned around and saw a cold face. His eyes were as cold as wood. The man was Shen Zitian.
