On the eighth day of August in the sixteenth year of Kaiyuan, it was the first day of autumn in the capital.

This year's autumn has attracted special attention. The number of candidates coming to Beijing to take the imperial examination is also the largest since the founding of the dynasty.

Li Hansheng has been very busy recently, and of course it is not just him. All the officials in the capital have been in a hurry recently.

A month ago, a decree was suddenly sent to the palace that all the retired ministers at home should attend the morning court. On the next morning, Emperor Liang made a rare appearance.

Emperor Liang personally announced at the court meeting that day that he would abdicate the throne to Prince Liang Jingchen on September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival!

Since then, the uncertainties of all the forces have settled.

Royalists such as Li Hansheng and Xu Shengyuan were temporarily invited to help the prince.

Shen Zhi is in charge of the interior of the palace, Xu Shengyuan is in charge of guarding the outer palace walls, and Li Hansheng and Ning Shihui are in charge of the most cumbersome duties in the capital.

Originally there were responsible persons, but during special times Emperor Liang appointed officials to supervise and direct.

As for why it is distributed like this?

Ning Shihui: "That bastard Xu Shengyuan said the decision was made by drawing lots! He caught the outer palace wall!"

Li Hansheng, who had something to do when he entered the palace that day: "..."

[I was tricked by a colleague with whom I had a good relationship. How can I retaliate and go back to relieve my anger? 】

Liang Shengrui once thought about issuing certificates of credence to neighboring countries and inviting them to attend his Zen ceremony. After private discussions with some military generals, he gave up this idea.

Liang Shengrui just wanted to pass the throne to his eldest son smoothly and smoothly, and then sit in the capital for a while. After his eldest son maintained the throne, Liang Shengrui wanted to take advantage of his good health to visit the country he had conquered.

However, Emperor Liang still had one very important matter to deal with before that.

Among the adult princes of Emperor Liang, those who should be granted the title of king have all been granted the title of king, and those who should be given the title of nobility have also been given the title.

Now in the harem, only the youngest seventh prince, Liang Jinghong, has not yet been crowned king. The seventh prince has moved out of Queen Chen's Yongshou Palace since he was three years old.

The seventh prince Liang Jinghong entered the Master's Study Room for enlightenment at the age of four. Every young master was carefully selected by Emperor Liang.

Every young master once said that the seventh prince was very smart and talented in reading since he was a child. This is why the Chen family chose to bet their money on the seventh prince.

"The Queen, a message came from the Yangxin Palace, saying that the Emperor is coming to Yongshou Palace for dinner tonight!"

Queen Xiao Chen's bodyguard must kneel on the ground to report. If you look carefully, you will find that the little palace maid's whole body is shaking.

Since the emperor announced that he would give the throne to His Highness the Crown Prince, the porcelain ornaments and even the servants in Yongshou Palace have changed several times.

Little Chen silently turned the beads in her hand, trying to calm herself down, but how could she calm down.

It took a long time, so long that even the well-trained palace servants' salute postures became a little unstable.

The queen who was sitting on top spoke slowly.

"Why don't you go to the imperial dining room and order some of the emperor's favorite dishes!"

"Also, go and invite Hong'er to come over for dinner!"

The Seventh Prince is now fourteen years old. In recent years, he has rarely come to Yongshou Palace for meals, even if the Empress sends someone to invite him.

Even though the queen already hated the emperor, she still had to make a show of eating this meal with the emperor in order to see her son.

The palace man who just wanted to get up quickly knelt down again.

"Reply to the Queen's words, the people from Yangxin Palace said...said..."

"What did you say?"

"The emperor wants to have dinner with his wife alone!"

If such news had come from the Yangxin Palace in the past, all the palace officials in the Yongshou Palace would have congratulated the Queen, and all the palace officials would have received rewards.

But...the most favored maid today did not dare to say a word of congratulations.

The queen stopped turning the bead string, and she knew in her heart that she was preparing to settle accounts with herself.

"it is good!"

The palace man knelt on the ground, pressing his forehead firmly against the ground. The cold floor tiles in the Yongshou Palace kept the palace man awake at all times.

The queen only said "good" and said nothing more. The palace man quietly took a breath before slowly getting up, exiting the main hall and going to the imperial kitchen to deliver the message.

Queen Xiao Chen waved away all the palace servants who were serving her, leaving only her nanny.

"Aunt Shi, you keep my dowry list and various keys, right?"

"Yes! Queen! The old slave has always kept it!"

"I made some clothes for Hong'er. Send them to him when you have time! Send these things to him as well!"

Aunt Shi heard that the Queen seemed to be explaining her posthumous affairs, and she immediately knelt down and begged the Queen not to do anything stupid.

"Mom, you are my upbringing mama, you have watched me grow up! Have I done many stupid things in my life?"

"I've been a joke my whole life, and now the only one I can't worry about is Hong'er!"

"I don't need to worry about the Chen family. After all, they belong to the prince, oh~ I should say the future emperor's maternal family!"

"Only my Hong'er! He's still so young, he hasn't been crowned king yet, he hasn't gotten married yet..."

The queen, Xiao Chen, couldn't hold back any longer when she said this, and tears fell heavily, but her voice remained calm and desperate.

Which woman in this harem doesn’t want to have a son?

Which woman who gave birth to a son wouldn’t want her son to be the emperor.

Little Chen wants it too! But no matter what she did, Liang Shengrui kept a close eye on her.

Xiao Chen didn't pay much attention to it at first. She was still young and her Hong'er hadn't grown up yet.

Imperial power! What a tempting thing. Many emperors were wise when they were young, but became confused and jealous when they were old.

The first thing such an emperor is often suspicious of is the prince he personally selects, because looking at his young and outstanding son, the emperor always feels a sense of crisis.

Therefore, Xiao Chen is not in a hurry and can plan slowly.

However, what Xiao Chen didn't expect was that Liang Shengrui actually wanted to give the throne to the prince.

[You really like that bitch Chen Shu more! She wanted to pass the throne to her son! 】

In the fourteenth year of Kaiyuan, the young Chen family joined forces with the second and third princes. Unexpectedly, they were defeated at the beginning.

Xiao Chen acted cautiously without leaving any evidence, and was perfectly invisible during the whole incident.

Originally, only the second and third princes could kill the prince in the hunting ground, or simply kill the king directly, so that Xiao Chen could support her son to ascend to the throne as queen.

It's a pity that it failed...

Only Xiao Chen herself knew that she failed completely.

Because since the spring hunting ended that year, the emperor returned to the palace and increased the seventh prince's schoolwork, and replaced the seventh prince with a new group of people to serve him.

The people around the seventh prince were originally arranged by the emperor, but after so many years, they have been bribed by the queen.

The queen doesn't want to die! She also wanted to see her son get married and have children, and even more wanted to see her son become a queen and go to a fiefdom to live a happy and comfortable life.

But the queen knew that if she didn't die, the prince would be wary of Hong'er after he ascended the throne, and Hong'er's life would not be easy in the future.
