In the second year of Xuanping, it arrived in the heavy snow of swan feathers.

This is the first New Year when the new emperor ascended the throne. The shadow of Emperor Xuanhe's death and leaving has gradually dissipated. The tense and cold murderous atmosphere in the palace has also eased a lot with the arrival of the New Year.

Empress Dowager Pei issued an oral order, rewarding all the palace ladies with a double share of the month ago. The palace ladies were all smiling happily and grateful.

This New Year, Cheng Jinrong and He Qi were unable to return home and spent together in the palace. Both husband and wife were in charge of the imperial court, and they could meet each other every day, and occasionally they could whisper together.

At the grand ceremony after the Lantern Festival, Emperor Xuanping wore a dragon robe and showed off his appearance in the Golden Palace.

This is the first time since Emperor Xuanping ascended the throne. The civil and military officials were thrilled and bowed to the emperor together: "I have met the emperor and wish the emperor good health and prosperity and the great Chu country for thousands of years."

The ministers knelt in a dark and dark way.

At this time, Emperor Xuanping was the only one standing in the Golden Palace.

The young Emperor Xuanping's eyes flew over the kneeling ministers, and a strange excitement and heat surged in his heart.

It turns out that this is the feeling of holding imperial power in hand and looking down at the ministers.

"Everyone is calm!" The clear and pleasant voice of Emperor Xuanping sounded in the Golden Palace. After the ministers knelt down to thank the emperor for their kindness, they each stood up.

The first grand ceremony of the New Year was a singular praise for the praises of the new emperor's kindness and lenient governance.

In fact, this year's heavy snow was unprecedented. Various parts of Dachu were affected by disasters, and many hungry people were frozen to death. Seven or eight counties submitted memorials and requested relief from the court.

These memorials were delivered to Emperor Xuanping on the third day of the New Year. Emperor Xuanping was worried and urgently summoned Liang Shangshu and others to the palace to discuss disaster relief.

Shangshu Liang did not have a good New Year. He moved into the Ministry of Revenue since the third year of the Chinese New Year. He led the Ministry of Revenue to clear the national treasury, allocate rice and grain, and raise disaster relief.

However, there is no need to discuss these things during the New Year's Day celebration.

After the grand dynasty meeting ended, Emperor Xuanping rewarded all officials with a banquet.

Halfway through the palace banquet, Emperor Xuanping, who had a pale face, left first and ordered Duke Wei and the Minister of Personnel to preside over the palace banquet together.

The ministers signaled with their eyebrows and eyes, and those who were more brave, gathered together and whispered.

"It's only half a day, I can't hold on anymore. It seems that the emperor's dragon body has not been well maintained yet!"

"The emperor's body was severely poisonous and almost died. Fortunately, Commander He took the emperor's poison pill in time, and Du Tidian helped him with all his strength, and then he pulled the emperor back from the Hall of Yama. However, the emperor also fell into the root of the disease. It was impossible to recuperate in a year or two."

"That's right. Fortunately, the emperor is young and his life will be long in the future, so it's okay to take care of him slowly."

"Du Didian worked hard and suffered a stroke. Now it is the imperial physician Cheng who is in the palace to be sick. The imperial physician Cheng is the best in the world. With her here, she will definitely keep the emperor safe and sound."

...

At this time, Cheng Jinrong was concentrating on applying needles to Emperor Xuanping.

Emperor Xuanping's handsome face was pale, his eyes closed, and sweat was on his forehead.

Empress Dowager Pei and Empress Liang were both on the side, each showing their worries. Especially Empress Liang, who was young and had nothing to do, saw Emperor Xuanping's weak appearance, his eyes turned red.

However, Cheng Jinrong is most taboo when applying acupuncture. When applying acupuncture on weekdays, Empress Liang has to avoid it. Today, Empress Liang insists on it, so Cheng Jinrong can barely respond.

No matter how panicked and afraid Queen Liang had to endure it. She bit her lips with a deep mark. She was afraid that she would make a sound, which disturbed Cheng Jinrong who was concentrating on applying the needle.

After half an hour, Cheng Jinrong finished applying the needle and took off the golden needles one by one. He picked up the handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads for Emperor Xuanping. As soon as the handkerchief landed on Emperor Xuanping's forehead, Queen Liang couldn't help but say, "Doctor Cheng, leave this little thing to me!"

Cheng Jinrong: “…”

Empress Liang is good at everything, but she is a little sensible and cares very much about Emperor Xuanping.

Cheng Jinrong responded and stood up to get out of his position. Queen Liang quickly sat down, picked up the veil, and slowly wiped the sweat beads for Emperor Xuanping. The heartache and pity in her beautiful eyes almost overflowed.

Emperor Xuanping opened his eyes and looked at Queen Liang, whose eyes were red. He smiled weakly and whispered: "Ruyue, don't worry, I'm just a little tired. Just take a rest."

Tears in Queen Liang's eyes slid out.

Emperor Xuanping raised his hand with difficulty. Empress Liang was reluctant to let Emperor Xuanping use too much force, so he hurriedly wiped his tears with his back and held Emperor Xuanping's hand with his other hand.

Cheng Jinrong and Empress Dowager Pei looked at each other and withdrew from the bedroom in a tacit understanding.

"The queen is careful and considerate. With her taking care of the emperor, the Ai family can rest assured." Empress Pei said this very implicitly. In fact, what she wanted to express is "the only daughter-in-law in her son's eyes is her daughter-in-law, but where is my mother."

Cheng Jinrong smiled and whispered to comfort the lost Queen Mother Pei: "After the young man married his wife, he became closer and closer to his wife, which is also common."

"It was the same after He Qi and I got married. The grandmother was also very disappointed for a while. When the emperor and the queen met, the queen gave birth to a lively and lovely granddaughter of the emperor. The queen enjoyed the joy of having fun with grandchildren, and then there would be no time to think about it."

Queen Mother Pei was amused and laughed: "The Ai family is looking forward to this day too!"

For Queen Pei, Heng Ge'er has no blood relationship with her. No matter how much she likes Heng Ge'er, she is separated by a layer, far less than A Yuan and Aman.

When Queen Liang gave birth to a child in the future, she would be her relative's grandchildren.

When Empress Pei thought of this, she became a little more tolerant of Queen Liang and said with a smile: "The queen is really good to the emperor. The young couple have a good relationship, and the Ai family is happy to see it."

The look of Queen Liang looking at Emperor Xuanping was a woman's passionate focus on loving her husband. Emperor Xuanping was also in love with Queen Liang.

Cheng Jinrong smiled and echoed: "What the Empress Dowager said is."

Empress Dowager Pei whispered to ask about Emperor Xuanping's physical condition: "...What is the emperor's body? In the past, Du Thidian had some reservations and refused to tell the Ai family truthfully. Jinrong, don't hide it from the Ai family, the Ai family must listen to the truth."

Cheng Jinrong sighed in her heart and told the truth under the gaze of Queen Mother Pei: "Mr. Tim and I have done our best. It is a blessing that the emperor's body has recovered to this point. The emperor should not work too hard and rest assured. Otherwise, his life span and his descendants will be affected."

Empress Dowager Pei's face turned slightly pale, and the veins of her right hand that she held tightly were exposed.

Empress Dowager Pei, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, is no longer the weak woman who often shed tears in the past.

Queen Pei was silent for a moment before whispering: "If the Ai family knows about this, please. When the emperor and the queen ask, you can say a word."

Cheng Jinrong nodded and agreed.
