A month later, the palace held a ceremony to enthrone the queen.

Since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, several queens have been enthroned, and Queen Liang is the youngest.

Empress Dowager Pei silently looked at Queen Liang in a red phoenix suit, and what flashed through her mind was her self more than ten years ago.

Back then, she was the substitute for her own sister Pei Wanqing in despair. On the day she was named the queen, she wore a red palace outfit and a heavy and gorgeous phoenix crown. A group of the maids knelt in front of her to salute. But she was not happy at all.

Looking at the domineering and cold Emperor Xuanping beside her, she felt even more suffocated.

The heart-wrenching memories of the past, when I think of it, there is a hint of warmth and sweetness mixed in the pain.

For the rest of her life, she could only rely on these memories to slowly live.

Queen Mother Pei sighed secretly and maintained a dignified and decent smile on her face.

She is the Queen Mother of Da Chu, the mother of today, and the most noble woman in the world. Even Queen Liang must be respectful in front of her, her mother-in-law. In front of everyone, she must have the demeanor and dignity of the Queen Mother-in-law.

After the enthronement ceremony was completed, Empress Liang knelt down in front of Empress Pei and bowed to the great ceremony: "My daughter-in-law Liang, I have met the mother."

Empress Pei waved all her chaotic thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't give me a gift, I'll be calm."

Then, the palace servants took out the phoenix seal representing the status and authority of the queen. The phoenix seal, the size of a child's fist, was placed in a sandalwood brocade box.

"After the enthronement ceremony today, you will be the Queen of Great Chu." Empress Pei said in a gentle voice: "This Phoenix Seal will be handed over to you today. The affairs of the harem will be entrusted to you. The Ai family can also enjoy the peace and happiness in the future."

Queen Liang looked frightened and frightened: "My mother, her daughter-in-law is still young and is not familiar with the affairs of the palace, so it is difficult to take on important tasks. I beg my mother to take back the phoenix seal and continue to take charge of the palace affairs."

Queen Mother Pei smiled slightly: "You don't have to be afraid. The harem is actually similar to the inner house. There are more people, more things, and more people looking at you. No one is born to be in charge of the harem's affairs."

"You take the Phoenix Seal first and learn slowly, and you will naturally know everything."

"If you don't know anything, just come and ask the Ai family. The Ai family doesn't hide it. Can you still not teach your daughter-in-law?"

The last sentence is quite interesting.

The concubines laughed kindly together.

Queen Liang was both grateful and moved.

She has been in the palace for a year and has always been in awe of Empress Dowager Pei. Empress Dowager Pei seems to be gentle and good-tempered, but in fact she is hot on the outside but cold on the inside. It is not easy to be considerate with her.

She originally thought that Empress Dowager Pei would not hand over the Feng Seal to her easily. Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Pei had no intention of taking power and gave the Feng Seal to her very readily and simply, with such a kind and amiable attitude.

People's hearts are full of flesh. Queen Liang's eyes were slightly red and kowtowed again to thank her: "The daughter-in-law thanked the queen. In the future, the daughter-in-law will definitely be filial to the queen."

After the palace banquet, Queen Liang helped Queen Pei back to the palace.

The Queen Mother and the Queen were at peace with each other, which also made the concubine and the palace people feel relieved.

It is rare to have some peaceful days in the palace. If the empress dowager and the queen are secretly competing, the harem will not be at peace. Now, it is best.

That night, Emperor Xuanping asked Queen Liang with a smile: "Ruyue, what I said before is right! The Queen Mother is the most gentle and will never make things difficult for you. Once the enthronement ceremony is passed, the Queen Mother will give you the Phoenix Seal. From now on, the affairs of the palace will be handed over to you. Don't let the Queen Mother down on her trust and love."

Queen Liang responded solemnly: "My mother treats me so well. I will definitely treat her as a mother in the future."

Emperor Xuanping was happy and reached out to embrace Queen Liang's slender waist: "So, it turns out that you pretended to be respectful and close to your mother before!"

Queen Liang blushed and whispered softly: "I'm not hiding it to the emperor. I haven't been in the palace for a long time. I'm not familiar with my mother's temperament and temper. I'm always trembling with me. I respect my mother, but I never dare to get too close to me. I always feel that my mother doesn't like me so much."

"Now, I know that my mother treats me well. I am not a sarcastic heart, so how can I not be moved?"

You understand me, and I understand you too.

If you are good to me, I will be better to you.

This is how mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along.

...

The next day, Empress Dowager Pei summoned Cheng Jinrong to accompany him, waved his hand to ask the palace ladies to retreat, and then asked Cheng Jinrong to sit beside him.

Cheng Jinrong smiled and walked forward, sat down beside Empress Pei, listening to Empress Pei's nagging.

Empress Dowager Pei was not a talkative person in the past. Now she is widowed in the deep palace, and the government has Emperor Xuanping. The harem is handed over to her daughter-in-law Empress Liang to take care of. Once she is idle, she will talk more.

"...The queen is young and knowledgeable, and it is difficult to take on important tasks for a while. The Ai family will have to worry about it for another two years. However, the phoenix seal belongs to her, so the Ai family should give it to her as soon as possible so as not to have a grudge in the queen's heart."

Cheng Jinrong smiled sincerely and said, "The Empress Dowager is really a good mother-in-law who is hard to find in the world."

Not to mention in the palace, even in ordinary families, it is not uncommon for mother-in-law to fight with daughter-in-law. There is no reason why daughter-in-law is in charge of the family when they pass by.

Empress Dowager Pei was in his prime, and Emperor Xuanping was extremely filial and obedient. If Empress Dowager Pei continued to keep the phoenix seal and took charge of the palace affairs, no one could say a word.

However, Empress Pei did not do this. She gave the phoenix seal to Queen Liang early and retreated willingly. With such a bold and gentle heart, Empress Liang is really blessed.

When Empress Pei heard these words, she stretched her eyebrows and laughed: "In front of you, the Ai family doesn't say those false and nice words. Everyone in the palace listens to the Ai family. Whether there is a phoenix seal will have no effect on the Ai family. The queen is the daughter-in-law of the Ai family, and she dares to disobey the Ai family. The Ai family is just a favor and coaxes the queen."

Cheng Jinrong laughed in silence: "It turns out that the Empress Dowager wants the idea for the sake of face."

This is of course a joke.

Empress Dowager Pei has no obsession with the desire for power. Therefore, let go when it is time to let go. This will save the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from being in a grudge.

Queen Mother Pei was amused and laughed: "After you said this, the Ai family is indeed suspected of making a show!"

The mother and daughter smiled at each other.

Empress Dowager Pei reached out and held Cheng Jinrong's hand and whispered: "Jinrong, now the Ai family has no other thoughts. First, I hope that you and He Qi and his wife will be in harmony. Second, the Ai family also hopes that the emperor and the queen and their wife will be in love and give birth to children as soon as possible."

In this way, when she got underground, she also had the honor to meet Emperor Xuanping.
