Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites acted very quickly and formulated the charter for the new emperor to ascend the throne in just a few days.

The auspicious day for ascending the throne is March 26. Calculate the time, and it will be one month later. The official ascendance ceremony will be scheduled for next spring, which is one year later.

Emperor Xuanhe ordered the prince to get married first during the filial piety period. After the filial piety period was released, he would then reunite with the queen.

When Zhou Shangshu met the prince, he proposed that the Empress would be welcomed into the palace on the second day of ascending the throne. The formal marriage ceremony would be held for one year later.

The prince nodded and handed over all the matters to the Ministry of Rites.

When Duke Jingguo learned about this, he had already made a decision. Duke Jingguo was angry and whispered to Duke Wei: "I can see if it is not? The prince is dissatisfied with you and me. Before he ascended the throne, he has already started to reuse civil officials."

Theoretically, the two of them were the important officials of the reign of their lives set up by Emperor Xuanhe. However, the prince bypassed them and decided to welcome the queen into the palace. This was not a wonderful sign.

Duke Wei's eyes flashed and said lightly: "This was decided by the late emperor's will. The prince cannot stay now. He welcomes the queen to the palace first and performs a marriage ceremony next year, which is also a way."

"The prince is not dissatisfied with us, but is dissatisfied with the strong power of the military generals in the court."

Duke Yasukuni snorted: "Anyway, the situation is very unfavorable to us."

Duke Wei glanced at Duke Jingguo: "This is just the beginning, you have to calm down."

Duke Jingguo snorted again and said, "Not to mention this for now. Zhenyuan Hou of Jinning was imprisoned in the heavenly prison. Someone must be in charge of the Imperial Guards and the Divine Guards."

"We discuss and decide on the candidates and recommend them to His Highness the Crown Prince."

The Duke of Wei nodded.

Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince had no intention of suppressing them. Duke Wei and Duke Jin selected two generals together to temporarily replace Jinning Hou Zhenyuanhou. His Highness the Crown Prince nodded happily.

This is also because He Qi made a private statement: "Military generals are different from civil officials. Civil officials rely on imperial examinations to advance, and they value the same subject and fellow townsmen in the same year. Military generals value more factions."

"The Duke of Wei and Duke Jin must be their people. According to their wishes, they can also weaken the power of Zhenyuanhou of Jinning Hou."

The sixth prince trusted He Qi very much, followed his advice, and nodded quickly.

However, He Qi took the initiative to remind the Sixth Prince: "If you are a person, you will have selfish intentions. No matter how loyal you are to Your Highness, your Highness must consider it."

The sixth prince glanced at He Qi: "Since the father left, you have been more cautious when talking to me. Are you afraid that I will be afraid of you in the future?"

He Qi: "..."

This sentence came unexpectedly.

He Qi was choked and wanted to defend himself, but it was too late.

He Qi coughed and met the sixth prince's clear black eyes: "Your Highness misunderstood. I don't mean this..."

"You don't have to say it. I know everything you are thinking." The Sixth Prince sighed: "My cousin Rong left the palace early, because she was afraid she was too close to the imperial power!"

"I can now understand why my father is so suspicious. As the emperor, he is not kind and soft-hearted. He must be calm, decisive, and have the means to suppress all his ministers."

"I don't know how much changes will happen after I sit on the dragon throne. However, my trust in you and Cousin Rong will never change."

The sixth prince looked at He Qi deeply and whispered: "So, just keep it the same as before in front of me. I will never doubt you."

He Qi suddenly felt a little sore from his nose.

He suddenly understood what it means to "Your Majesty treats me with a national hero and I will repay you with a national hero."

He will remember this heavy trust and these clear and trustful eyes in his heart and will never forget it.

After a long time, He Qicai nodded: "Okay."

...

That night, it was finally Xiumu's turn to return home.

The couple has been separated for ten days. When they meet, they have endless things to say.

He Qi looked Cheng Jinrong's face carefully, and when she saw her face getting rosy, she felt very happy: "You are indeed much better than being in the palace when you go home to recuperate."

Is this a big deal?

I am always tense in the palace and I must not relax. After returning home, I relaxed. A relaxed mood is naturally very beneficial to the body.

Cheng Jinrong pursed her lips and smiled: "I have been staying around these two days. Even if I don't have much strength, I can't hold the child. Zi Su looked tight and hugged A Yuan and A Man far away every time. When A Yuan and A Man were anxious, they arched their little butt to me. Seeing this, they would crawl soon."

After not seeing each other for ten days, He Qi also missed his sons very much. He immediately asked the wet nurse to carry both children over. He held one in one hand and turned around from time to time. Then he threw the child up and caught it.

A Yuan Aman giggled constantly, Xiaoyuan's face was full of excitement.

Zi Su was nervous and murmured in a low voice: "This is too dangerous. What if the prince accidentally fails to catch it? It's better to persuade the prince to let go of the child!"

Cheng Jinrong smiled and said, "Don't worry. He is the child's biological father, and he cares more about the safety of the child than you. He knows it in his heart that he will not hurt the child."

Zisu stopped talking.

The father and son have been playing for a long time.

A Yuan and Aman were tired of playing and soon became sleepy. She was carried down by the wet nurse to sleep.

He Qi was also sweating all over. He quickly took a shower and changed his clothes and returned to the house. He hugged Cheng Jinrong and laughed in a low voice: "A Yuan and Aman are tired of playing today. You must sleep until dawn and will not disturb us."

Cheng Jinrong: “…”

Feelings have no intention.

Cheng Jinrong blushed slightly and spat at him.

She had injuries on her body and could not use force. However, her movements were lighter, so she could get close to her.

He Qi held it in for several months and was full of energy. However, he was worried about Cheng Jinrong's body, and after relief, he calmed down.

It was peaceful in the middle of the night, and the couple hugged each other and whispered.

He Qi told Cheng Jinrong what happened during the day: "...Your Highness is smart and keen, and he has long noticed my subtle changes. When he said that to me, I was really moved."

"No matter what he will look like in the future, I will be his most loyal minister."

Cheng Jinrong was also moved. She was silent for a moment before saying, "He Qi, do you want to stay in the capital forever?"

He Qi hugged her tightly: "No. My father is not young anymore. In a few years, he should retire and return to Beijing. I am the prince of the Duke of Pingguo, and only I can take over my father and take charge of the border army."

"So after another five years!"

"At that time, Your Highness was in his prime. He had been ascending the throne for five years. Five years was enough for him to control the court. At that time, I would tell His Highness that we would leave the capital with our children."

Cheng Jinrong stretched his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Okay, in five years, we will leave the capital."
