Chapter 79 Curtains

Sui Sui was woken up once by the loud cries of the palace people.

"Mom, what happened?"

Zhou Shuhe held his arm and put it under the quilt, and said calmly: "It's nothing, the emperor has passed away, I will be very tired today, take a good rest first, and I will wake you up when I arrive."

Sui Sui was still in a daze, couldn't hear what she said clearly, only felt that her tone was calm and gentle, and thought it was nothing serious, so she said "oh", turned over and fell asleep again.

The sky was getting dark, and the black armored guards were in the hands of Qi Yu, and they surrounded the imperial city early. The officials of the previous dynasty went to the palace one after another from Yinzheng, but they were blocked outside the palace gate, only to hear the death knell ringing deep in the palace.

The officials gathered in twos and threes to discuss, and one after another secretly cast their eyes on Zhou Shaochen. He looked up at the palace wall, and a stray wild goose was staggering across the dark blue sky.

Inside the palace wall, Zhou Shuhe, dressed in white mourning clothes, stepped into the Tai Chi Hall with Sui Sui.

To be killed by a concubine in the harem, this method of death is somewhat disgraceful, the imperial hospital consciously helped the royal family cover up the scandal, and brought the emperor's body back to the emperor's bedroom for burial.

The empress dowager was weak, she cried and convulsed after hearing the emperor's death, she was recuperated by the imperial doctor with acupuncture, the eldest princess got married last year, and now there is only the king of Chu in the palace.At this point, it doesn't matter whether there is a crown prince or not, and whether there is a will, but the process must be followed in a regular manner.

The Emperor Daxing sealed the coffin and enshrined himself, and all the people in the harem knelt outside the hall, and a large number of court officials also knelt on the imperial street. After the first crying ceremony, Yuan Xian, the chief of ceremonies, walked out of the hall , Loudly read out the edict of the first emperor, that the king of Chu ascended to the throne and succeeded the emperor.

Sui Sui quietly glanced at Zhou Shuhe.

Zhou Shuhe whispered, "Go, Auntie is here."

He just heard that Chu Chengji committed suicide, and the tears in his red and swollen eyes were not fake. Looking at him now, he really looked like a filial son and grandson who grieved for the emperor.

Sui Sui took a deep breath, stood up, took two steps forward and knelt down in front of the emperor's spirit, kowtowed: "My son will definitely live up to the grace of the emperor."

This is the autumn of the 28th year of Taiping. When the fallen leaves withered from the tall trees again, white silk was hung in the palace.

Emperor Taiping collapsed, and King Chu Chengyan, as the only surviving prince of Emperor Daxing, came to the throne in October of the same year after seven days of filial piety.

The young emperor ascended the throne, and the queen mother hung down the curtain.

Zhou Shuhe sat behind the yellow curtain in the main hall of the Tai Chi Hall, not as complacent as many concubines thought, nor as trembling as the courtiers imagined.

It's easy to say that the queen and the queen mother seem to be separated by a word, but they are actually very different. One is the woman who serves the emperor, and the other is the elder who the emperor wants to serve.It is common for Zhou Shuhe to become a queen mother at a young age, and to be the most honorable woman in the world.

As for trembling...

She rolled her eyes and looked obliquely forward.

The palm seal of the powerful Supervisor of Rituals stood on the left side of the new emperor. Through the translucent curtain, the tall and clear figure that was originally like a green bamboo was distorted and blurred.

Regardless of what the civil and military officials think, Daning is used to the weather, and Emperor Taiping can be regarded as a successful ruler in political affairs. Although there is not much money in the treasury, it is enough to be tight.What's more worth mentioning is that he is very afraid of death, and immediately invested a large amount of money in the capital's soldiers. The three major imperial guards, Jinlinwei, Habayashiwei and Heijiawei, are all elite soldiers and good generals.

Now it's all cheaper than Zhou Shuhe and the others.

It was the first time for Suisui to sit on the dragon chair to participate in the court meeting, but he was not at all afraid. After the court was over, he jumped off by himself, opened the yellow curtain and walked to Zhou Shuhe's side.

"Queen, why didn't you say anything today?"

To be an emperor, you have to look like an emperor. People in front and behind must be upright, and naturally they have to be more polite in terms of address. A Niang is the queen mother, and uncle is Ai Qing. This makes Zhou Shuhe a bit lonely as a mother, but he has to accept.

She smiled: "The queen mother is thinking about something."

Qi Yu came in after Suisui and asked, "What is your mother thinking?"

Zhou Shuhe raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were soft as if they were about to wring out water, Chun Ye's scalp was numb, but what she said was serious.

"Emperor Daxing's coffin has been inactive for ten days. Yesterday, spies came to report that King Zhao had ordered his men and horses without His Majesty's permission. He was going to leave for Beijing in seven days to see the late emperor's spirit."

Qi Yu raised his eyebrows: "How to send it? Are you bringing troops to send it?"

Zhou Shuhe smiled and said, "Exactly, he will bring [-] soldiers to send them off."

The two of you talked to each other, and Sui Sui was also turning his little brain: "Bringing a large army to Beijing, Uncle Zhao Wang also wants to rebel?"

Qi Yu nodded: "Your Majesty is right."

"But the queen mother and Qi Zhangyin don't seem to be very worried. Are there any countermeasures?"

Zhou Shuhe applauded: "My son is really smart."

Sui Sui was praised so much by the two of them that his tail would be raised, and he also boasted to Zhou Shuhe in a very face-saving manner: "I guess, the queen mother will let him have an army of [-] without returning!"

After finally sitting in her current position, of course she would not give up the power she has acquired.

When the late emperor was around, he guarded these royal brothers very closely. Although King Zhao had some talents, he only dared to train soldiers secretly. Now, at least fifty thousand of the so-called [-] army came after the late emperor was seriously ill. Recruits recruited only after the political chaos.

At that time, the first emperor had no time to care about others, and Zhou Qi and the two were also focused on the change of the central regime, and lost their vigilance against these vassal kings.

"You can't say that. These vassal kings can't make any waves. Our spies are powerful, and the news comes early. Just let him mess around under the nose. Let's use King Zhao's matter to 'kill monkeys to warn monkeys. ' Isn't it beautiful!"

After dinner, Zhou Shuhe nestled on the imperial concubine chair in Yongning Palace, while talking, he ate the persimmon cakes he made a few days ago, until his mouth was full of orange fruit paste.

Qi Yu was originally reading the memorial, prioritizing all kinds of affairs for His Majesty, but seeing the empress dowager's unsightly eating, he couldn't laugh or cry, so he put down the memorial and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

"How old are you, how can you eat like this?"

Zhou Shuhe let him wipe his face up, without saying a word, his eyes stopped between his brows and eyes, she didn't know what she was thinking, she suddenly stuck out the tip of her tongue, and lightly licked the man's fingertips resting on her lips.

Touched by the soft, slippery and wet touch of her fingertips, Qi Yuqing couldn't help trembling, and the roots of her ears turned red.

After so many years, it is still difficult for him to resist her sudden teasing.

Seeing this, Zhou Shuhe's lips curled into a big arc, his eyes smiled into crescent moons, he opened his mouth to enclose his fingertips, sucked and wrapped them in his mouth, and acted sweetly.

"Xiaohe is about to turn 24, but no matter how old she is, she is one year younger than brother Xiaoyu."

That's right, Qi Yu was always one year older than her when she was alive.

Frost sequence in late autumn, geese fly from north to south, and today, who has died in the previous life, is an insignificant day in the life of a hundred years.

Just now when she came down to court, Qi Yu asked her what she was thinking about, and she said she was thinking about King Zhao's rebellion, which was a lie.

In fact, she was thinking that today is the day he died in his previous life.

Zhou Shuhe raised his eyes to look at Qi Yu. The young man's bones were strong, but his facial features were delicate and soft. His thick eyelashes cast a shadow in the corner of his eyes, which made people want to cover it with their lips and teeth.

And she did.

The skin under his lips was warm and soft, trembling. When kissing the corners of his eyes, Zhou Shuhe's heart seemed to be filled with warm spring water, and he couldn't help but sigh in satisfaction.

This is... different from the corpse hanging at the entrance of Xuanwu on a certain bleak autumn day.

She raised her hand to tightly hook his neck, stroked her lips from the corners of her eyes to her ears, exhaled wet moisture, and ordered softly.

"Qi Yu, carry me to the bed."

The young man paused, embraced her back obediently, tightened his arms, and carried Zhou Shuhe from the chair to the bed.

The body in her arms was warm and smooth, and the greasy white leather clung to her body like a snake. Qi Yu's voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyelashes trembled slightly: "Xiaohe, it's daytime."

"Isn't it okay during the day?"

"Daylight... is against the way of a gentleman."

Zhou Shuhe was unhappy, and bit his earlobe as punishment, grinding slowly between his teeth, and said vaguely: "I don't care, I just want to cling to you."

"……it is good."

The veil beside the bed was gently lowered, and the hazy sunlight reflected the blurred figures. During the joyous interval, Zhou Shuhe vaguely heard the sound of spring leaves coming from outside, as if he wanted to come in to deliver the tribute fruits this autumn, but was stopped by Jiyue again outside.

The author says:

Jiyue: Hello everyone, I am a good helper for the empress and a good example for the palace people!

Chunye: I'm so mad.
