The host is cute and charming, who doesn’t love the charming wife?

His tone was firm.

When talking about the prince, he emphasized his tone, and his eyes secretly paid attention to Ruan Miaomiao.

Sure enough, the person on the bed moved his eyelids this time, as if struggling to wake up.

efficient!

But not enough.

But for a moment, Xiao Chenjing couldn't think of anything else that could be the key to waking her up. He had a hunch that if there was no other way, he might really lose her.

The feeling of losing something makes one's breath stop and the heart seems to be tightly grasped by someone.

Maybe people will only max out their emotions when they are about to lose something. Xiao Chenjing slowly closed his eyes, a tear flowed from the corner of his eye, but it disappeared so quickly that people thought it was an illusion.

Leaning over and gently holding the person in his arms, Xiao Chenjing lowered his head and kissed Ruan Miaomiao's forehead.

He murmured, "Wake up soon. I really want to be with you, watch the two children grow up, and wait until Xu'er becomes the emperor. Then you can go wherever you want..."

This time he didn't notice that Ruan Miaomiao's eyelashes began to tremble, and it was more obvious than any time before.

"I know you have many small shortcomings and flaws, and you may not be a very good queen mother, but in my heart, you are the only one who is qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

"I also want to use the matter of Feng Xu'er being crowned as the crown prince to make you the Holy Empress..."

He had never told Ruan Miaomiao about this because he still had some concerns in his heart.

It’s not that he was hesitant about Ruan Miaomiao, but he felt that it might be too hasty.

After all, Ruan Miaomiao has only been in the palace for a few years, and the Ruan family really... has no ability.

Originally, he was thinking of training Ruan Miaomiao's younger brother and letting him pass the imperial examination to enter the court. By then, with the help of the prince's mother's family, he would definitely not be bullied.

But who could have expected that Brother Ruan had such mediocre talent? Not to mention being a scholar, even being a student took the exam three times before he was admitted.

And there is no guarantee that the county magistrate let him pass by because of Ruan Miaomiao's status.

How could Xiao Chenjing be trained? In the end, he could only be a minor official who did not do anything and just received a salary.

Ruan's father was too old and he was really too cautious. Even though his daughter gave birth to the eldest prince, he never showed off. He also did not allow his family members to abuse their power under the banner of Ruan Miaomiao.

If you think of him as an honest, sober person, that's not right.

A big part of the reason why he was like this was because he understood his daughter well. Even if she became the Holy Empress, let alone gave birth to Xiao Xu and Xiao Chan, he would not have taken any action.

After all, no one knows when Ruan Miaomiao will do something earth-shattering. He doesn't seek wealth and honor, he just wants a stable life.

Therefore, Xiao Chenjing didn't know how to promote the Ruan family.

No matter how biased you are, you still have to fight for it, right?

Now the Ruan family has made it clear that they are content with their current life. Even if Xiao Chenjing wants to support Ruan Miaomiao, the Ruan family has to stand on their own feet.

He was originally wondering whether he should wait for a while before making a decision.

But unexpectedly, due to this hesitation, Ruan Miaomiao encountered an accident first.

This made Xiao Chenjing's hesitation disappear instantly. He looked at Ruan Miaomiao, who had her eyes closed and was not sure whether she was alive or dead, and said in a firm tone.

"Don't worry, I promise! You will always be the most important person in my heart! No one will surpass you...

Even if you really go, the place beside me will only be reserved for you, and you will be the only mother of Xu'er and Chan'er!"

“Ahem…really?”

A weak female voice sounded intermittently.

If there was no one else in the hall and it was extremely quiet, perhaps Xiao Chenjing would not have been able to hear Ruan Miaomiao's voice.

He suddenly looked towards the bed. Ruan Miaomiao had opened her eyes and was trying to look up at him with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't even think about it. I, I heard everything."

At this time, Xiao Chenjing didn't know how to describe how surprised he was.

He immediately hugged Ruan Miaomiao, his face showing an expression of joy or something else, his hands were shaking with excitement.

"Awake? I'm glad you're awake!"

I was afraid she would never wake up again.

Xiao Chenjing subconsciously wanted to call for help. After all, although Ruan Miaomiao had woken up, her fever had not completely subsided.

But his action was stopped by Ruan Miaomiao.

"I'm fine. Hehe, am I going to be the Holy Queen? Xu'er is the Crown Prince, right?"

It seems that Ruan Miaomiao's condition has indeed improved after waking up.

Xiao Chenjing was so confused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that what she really cared about, what could stimulate her to wake up, was this!

Forget it, the person was finally rescued, and after experiencing this, Xiao Chenjing just wanted to cherish the present.

Since she cares about these things, let's satisfy her!

……

On his third birthday, Xiao Xu officially became the legitimate and only crown prince of the Xiao Kingdom.

Her mother, a commoner who rose from a palace maid and was favored by the emperor ever since, was canonized as the Queen of Xiao by the emperor.

It’s not that there weren’t some who opposed and protested.

In their opinion, the person who would ascend to the throne should be Concubine Xian.

As for being childless, what does that matter?

As long as she becomes the Holy Queen, she will be the Crown Prince's biological mother. There have been such examples before.

Even the current Empress Dowager has never been the Holy Empress. She became the Empress Dowager because Xiao Chenjing ascended to the throne, and it was her turn after the former Holy Empress passed away following the late Emperor.

Moreover, the Tang family has been officials for generations, and they all hold high positions. Letting Tang Rouer become the Empress is the most correct decision.

As for the biological mother of the prince and princess, Concubine Xi, it is not impossible for her to be promoted to the position of Imperial Concubine.

Given her background, it was a great honor for her ancestors to be able to become a royal concubine.

However, Xiao Chenjing firmly stated that the position of the Holy Empress must be given to Concubine Xi.

"I'm sure you all know that Concubine Xi once saved my life, and for me, she almost lost her life.

While lying on my sickbed, I promised her that if she could wake up, the position of Holy Queen would belong to her!

how?

Do you want me to be the treacherous person? And are you really thinking about me and standing in my shoes?

Now Xiao State is no longer afraid of any neighboring countries or those small vassal states. Even so, can't I choose someone who is sincere to me and whom I like to be my close friend? "

By the end of his speech, Xiao Chenjing already looked disappointed.

Of course, not all ministers were opposed.

Just as Xiao Chenjing himself said, several old ministers who had watched him grow up had no objection to his decision. In their hearts, as long as Xiao Chenjing himself liked it, it was fine.

With the support of these old ministers, Xiao Chenjing didn't say anything else. After all, this was his family and private matter.

Therefore, the imperial edict to confer Ruan Miaomiao the title of empress was drafted after the court session that day.

Xiao Chenjing originally wanted to give Ruan Miaomiao a surprise, but he didn't expect that the imperial edict hidden behind the plaque accidentally fell down the next day, and happened to fall in front of Ruan Miaomiao who came to deliver soup.

Well, now the surprise is gone.

But fortunately, the ending is good.

Just like that, after only five years in the palace, Ruan Miaomiao went from being a commoner to becoming the Holy Queen of the Xiao Kingdom.

According to later records, this empress was the most troubled of all recorded empresses and caused quite a bit of trouble when she was alive.

But who made her favored?

Not only did the emperor at that time favor her, but he also set up a harem for her, and the rest of the people became decorations.

Her son, Xiao Xu, always puts her first in everything.

His filial piety is also well-known.

Later generations were very curious about why this holy queen had such great ability that she could make the two emperors obey her orders.

All these puzzles were answered after seeing Ruan Miaomiao's portrait.

First of all, you have to have a pretty face!

Plus a little bit of luck and fate~
