Ma Liang's words brought the atmosphere at the scene to its peak. While the civil and military personnel knelt on the ground and kowtowed, they kept shouting to Liu Cong!
"Forget it, since both civil and military officials support it so much, I will do my part."
"My lord is wise!"
The civil and military personnel were happy and excited at the same time, and the atmosphere of the banquet was once again pushed to a climax!
There are too many things that need to be prepared to become king. The Ministry of Rites has to consult the classics to determine the auspicious day, and then Liu Cong will worship in the ancestral temple.
The Ministry of Industry must prepare the high platform for the king's proclaiming, the king's crown, crown, chariot, etc., including the clothes of the queen and several wives, as well as Liu Cong's children. They must also build the royal palace, ancestral temple, etc.
The Ministry of Personnel needs to carefully select the people in the palace and prepare eunuchs!
…
After everything is ready, Liu Cong will choose an auspicious day and personally worship the heaven, the earth, and the ancestors. He will inform the gods of heaven and earth and the ancestors that he, Liu Cong, is king today!
After the banquet, Liu Cong didn't feel drunk at all, and walked towards the backyard with a skip and a jump. Xing Daorong behind him looked worried.
"Squeak."
Pushing the door open, Sun Shangxiang was still hugging little Liu Chang. Not only her, but Ping'er on the side was also hugging Chunxi and coaxing her.
When Ping'er saw Liu Cong coming in, she quickly saluted and said, "I have met you, Your Majesty."
"Get up." Liu Cong walked directly to the bed and sat down next to Sun Shangxiang.
Suddenly, Liu Cong got a little playful and said with a serious face, "Tomorrow, you and a few of them will go to Changsha with your mother and children."
Sun Shangxiang was stunned and turned to look at him, "Why are you so crazy?"
"Cao Cao and Liu Bei jointly attacked, with a total of 800,000 troops. Huainan, Jiangdong, Wancheng, and Fancheng have all fallen. I can't resist it anymore."
"Ah?" Sun Shangxiang exclaimed, "What about you?"
Liu Cong said in a deep voice, "This is the inheritance left by my father. I can't just give it to them."
Sun Shangxiang's almond-shaped eyes were slightly red, "No, we have to go together. If you don't leave, I won't leave either. Let them take their children."
"Hahaha……"
Liu Cong couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Seeing how anxious you are, I lied to you."
"Oh, it hurts, don't hit me!"
Sun Shangxiang put the child on the bed and beat and pinched Liu Cong. Liu Cong was so painful that he cried for father and mother.
"Okay!"
While the two were entangled, Liu Cong hugged Sun Shangxiang and lay down, "Listen to me, I lied to you about Cao and Liu joining forces to attack Jingchu. But it is true that they have to move out for a while."
Sun Shangxiang blinked his big eyes and asked, "Why?"
Liu Cong pinched Sun Shangxiang's cheek and bit it hard. After a long time, their lips parted, Liu Cong hugged Sun Shangxiang and asked happily, "Do you want to be the queen?"
"Being a queen? What does that mean?"
"Gu is going to be king, and you will be Gu's queen." As he said this, Liu Cong stood up with Sun Shangxiang in his arms, teasing little Liu Chang beside him, "Chang'er, from now on you will be the crown prince!"
"Proclaimed king?" Sun Shangxiang covered his mouth in disbelief.
Although Liu Cong had expressed his ambition in front of her many times, Sun Shangxiang was still surprised when Ji Ran heard that he wanted to become king.
Isn't this too fast? She has only been married to Liu Cong for more than three years, and Liu Chang is only two years old. How long has it been since Liu Cong has become the king?
After the surprise, Sun Shangxiang was endlessly excited. In any case, after Liu Cong became king, she would be the queen, and his son would be the crown prince. From now on, her son will inherit whatever empires Liu Cong has conquered!
"Okay, let's go to bed."
With that said, Liu Cong waved to Ping'er and said, "Ping'er, go and call the two maids to take the children out."
"Husband, I...I can't serve you tonight."
"Huh?" Liu Cong, who was taking off his coat, stopped and asked, "What's going on?"
Sun Shangxiang nodded shyly, "How about letting Ping'er serve you?"
"ah?"
"ah?"
One sound came from Liu Cong, and the other came from Ping'er, who was holding Xiao Chunxi.
"Miss, I..." Ping'er blushed and couldn't say a word, and she didn't dare to look at Liu Cong and Sun Shangxiang anymore.
Although Liu Cong was moved, he still said reservedly, "How can this be done? Ping'er is your maid, I..."
"She is already twenty this year. Do you want her to be my maid for the rest of her life? She doesn't want to get married and has been staying in the Marquis's mansion. Can't you give her a title?"
Not to mention, this girl Ping'er is already a tall girl at this age. When I first met her in Jiangxia, she looked like a pretty girl.
Nowadays, both her figure and face have grown. At the age of twenty, she is not married yet, so she is already considered an old woman. But in Liu Cong's eyes, she is just right.
"Hey, ma'am, I..." Liu Cong showed a bit of a mean smile, actually feeling a little embarrassed.
"What are you doing? Ping'er has been with me since she was a child. We are called master and servant, but we are actually sisters. It gives you an advantage." With that said, Sun Shangxiang stood up and stepped forward to snatch the child from Ping'er's arms.
After putting the child on the bed, Sun Shangxiang went outside the room and pushed Ping'er and Liu Cong.
"Squeak!"
"Bang!"
After closing the door, Sun Shangxiang walked to the bed, looked at the two children on the bed, and remembered what Liu Cong said to her when she gave birth to the child.
"The boy's name is Liu Chang. He will inherit my inheritance and make Jingchu prosperous in the future!"
"No, no, no, I will destroy all the princes in the future. When I become the emperor, our son will be the prince!"
"My daughter's name will be Chunxi. When I become emperor, she will be Princess Chunxi!"
"Prince Liu Chang, Princess Chunxi." Sun Shangxiang looked at the two children with eyes full of love.
Mother is more valuable than her son. Although Liu Cong doted on her, she still had to rely on these two children for the rest of her life.
Outside the house, Liu Cong looked at the closed door and smiled bitterly, then turned to look at Ping'er. She was standing there with her head lowered, holding the corners of her clothes with her hands and constantly picking at them.
"Ping'er, if you don't mean to be alone, I won't force you."
Ping'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Liu Cong's face. Feeling the breath in front of her, Ping'er's voice was almost inaudible, "Slave... slave is willing."
"ha…!"
Liu Cong laughed and quickly stopped. He was still outside Sun Shangxiang's house.
He stepped forward and took Ping'er's hand, whispering, "Follow Gu."
Liu Cong only had eight women, and including Ping'er now, there were only nine. The courtyard in the backyard was not used up at all.
But he didn't drag Ping'er to any courtyard. After all, no one had lived there, and it had to be cleaned. Liu Cong couldn't wait any longer. He pulled Ping'er's soft catkins and went to the study room where he worked.
In Liu Cong's study, behind the screen where he worked, there was a bed for Liu Cong to rest when he was tired.
"I'll just stay here for the rest of the night, and I'll give you a house tomorrow."
"Um."
"ah!"
Liu Cong sat on the bed, pulled Ping'er over and put her into his arms.
Holding her tightly with one hand, he lifted her chin with the other hand, "Don't you dare to look at Gu?"
Ping'er closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at Liu Cong. Liu Cong smiled and suppressed it amidst the beauty's exclamation...
