Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

There were not many people near the palace gate, and when they saw the fight, they were frightened and fled in all directions.

In an instant, the street intersection became an empty battlefield.

Gu Yanbai is good at light work, so dodging arrows is no problem for him.

But the man in black who rushed out from the alley was very skilled and was in front of him in a moment.

Gu Yanbai looked at the person who was gradually approaching and chuckled.

"So it was a feint to the east and attack in the west, to lure the tiger away from the mountain. On the surface, they were here to deal with Jiang Qingwu, but in fact, they were here to capture me."

The men in black did not respond. The leader waved to the crowd and everyone rushed forward.

Fortunately, the Red Guards arrived in time. The eight Red Guards blocked the men in black from the front and back.

"Young Master, please enter the palace first, and leave this to us."

Gu Yanbai looked at the person standing in front of him and silently took a few steps back.

The moment the fight broke out, Gu Yanbai calmly mounted his horse under cover and headed towards the palace gate.

But before they had walked far, a masked woman in black, holding a bow, appeared on a tall building in the distance and shot an arrow at Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai didn't notice it, and by the time he realized the arrow was flying behind him, it was too late.

But when he saw the arrow was so close and he had no time to dodge it, a knife was thrown from the air and blocked the arrow.

Then a black shadow came from above, caught the sword, and at the same time caught the second arrow behind Gu Yanbai with his bare hands in the air.

Gu Yanbai looked at the other person. Although he was masked, he still recognized that it was Nan Xiuye.

"Enter the palace!" Nan Xiuye ​​threw down these two words and chased after the man holding the bow on the high ground.

"Be careful..." Gu Yanbai shouted, turned around, tightened the reins, and rode towards the palace gate.

The guards at the palace gate watched the fight happening in the distance, not knowing the cause and not daring to leave. They could only stare at the enemy with their swords drawn.

Seeing Gu Yanbai riding towards them, they all made way.

"Mr. Gu... Meet Mr. Gu."

"Someone is trying to assassinate us, call for help..." Gu Yanbai echoed, turning around and looking at the chaos in the distance.

It was not until two teams of imperial guards rushed out from behind and headed away that Gu Yanbai's vigilant and gloomy expression relaxed a little.

"Old thing...if you want to catch me, then show me your real skills." Gu Yanbai clenched his fists secretly and turned to enter the palace.

……

"Empress Zhaowu has arrived..."

The North Gate is the main gate of the palace, and the Jinfeng Hall is the main hall where all the ministers and officials in the palace attend court.

Jiang Qingwu's carriage and procession arrived at the steps. When he got off the carriage, Yan Xiuchen and all the officials were waiting in front of the hall.

It was the first time I saw Yan Xiuchen wearing a dragon robe. Previously, he had only seen Emperor Xuanhe wearing it. He was ten or twenty years older than Yan Xiuchen.

Now seeing Yan Xiuchen wearing it, this dragon robe looks much more upright and heroic.

"Your humble servant Jiang Qingwu pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live His Majesty."

Jiang Qingwu followed the rules that the Ministry of Rites had taught him all morning and saluted Yan Xiuchen in a proper manner.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers knelt down one after another, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Queen. May you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Yan Xiuchen raised the corners of his lips secretly and walked towards Jiang Qingwu, "Stand up..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The moment Jiang Qingwu raised her head, Yan Xiuchen had already walked up to her and extended his hand to her.

"The assassin didn't hurt you, did he?" Yan Xiuchen asked in a low voice while helping Jiang Qingwu up.

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, "No, I just don't know if Gu Yanbai..."

"Nothing happened. Nan Xiuye ​​saved him and is already waiting for a drink in Shangyang Palace."

Yan Xiuchen echoed, turned his head and met Jiang Qingwu's eyes, which gradually became hot.

"Look...what are you looking at? I took off two hairpins, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Jiang Qingwu whispered.

Yan Xiuchen smiled secretly when he heard the voice, shook his head, and took Jiang Qingwu to the Jinfeng Palace.

"I mean, the emperor was forced to do this as a condition of exchange."

"But the queen was the one I married willingly."

At this moment, this is what he was thinking about.

Jiang Qingwu stared at Yan Xiuchen in a daze, and when he came to his senses, all the ministers and officials were kneeling on the ground to pay homage.

"Long live my emperor, long live my queen, and my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen."

There was a roar in Jiang Qingwu's ears. He took a deep breath and looked up at Yan Xiuchen, "Should I go and pay my respects to the Queen Mother?"

"I go with you."

"No need, you are going to the banquet at the Shangyang Palace, I can go."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingwu hurriedly tried to stop her. On the first day after entering the palace, she dragged Yan Xiuchen with her to establish her authority. The Queen Mother would surely be even more annoyed with her.

There is only one empress dowager in the palace who is above her, and the harem is empty. What is she afraid of?

"It's okay. It's my first day in the palace. The Queen Mother won't make things difficult for me."

Yan Xiuchen hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice, "Okay, then I'll go to Shangyang Palace first, you can come over later."

Jiang Qingwu nodded, then suddenly remembered something, leaned towards Yan Xiuchen, and whispered, "You have to say I."

Yan Xiuchen looked at the officials kneeling in the distance and moved closer to Jiang Qingwu. "There's no need to do this when I'm talking to you."

……

In Fenghe Palace, the Queen Mother seemed to have been waiting for Jiang Qingwu for a long time.

The scene was even bigger than every time he came to the palace.

Guards, eunuchs, and palace maids were all crowded around the courtyard and the main hall.

"When did so many people appear in the Empress Dowager's Palace?" Jiang Qingwu muttered in a low voice.

Xiao Luzi at the side lowered his voice and spoke quietly.

"There are usually so many people here, don't be afraid, Your Majesty. His Majesty has instructed that even the Queen Mother cannot let Your Majesty suffer any loss."

Jiang Qingwu smiled secretly when he heard the voice and looked at Xiao Luzi, "How can you make me not suffer any loss?"

"If the Queen Mother embarrasses you, I will go out and call the Imperial Guards."

Xiao Luzi said this and nodded slightly to Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu also came back to his senses, looking at the empress dowager sitting in the main hall, and his thoughts calmed down.

Then he walked slowly forward and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother.

"Your humble servant Jiang Qingwu pays respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be well and safe."

The Queen Mother sat in the highest seat, looking at Jiang Qingwu with disdain as usual.

He looked the man over carefully, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, his expression became even uglier.

"You officially enter the palace today and become the Empress of the Central Palace."

"It is your responsibility to pass on the legacy to the heirs and bless the harem."

"The royal family is dwindling, and the emperor has no sons or daughters. This is all your fault."

"In the future, when there are new people in the harem, you must be tolerant and generous, set an example for the harem, and think more about the heir and the emperor."

Jiang Qingwu buried his head, his legs numb from squatting, but listening to the Queen Mother's words, he felt even more numb than his legs.

Although, she knew this since the day she decided to become the queen.

He also knew that the oath and promise Yan Xiuchen had made in the palace was unrealistic.

As an emperor, Yan Xiuchen couldn't help but take concubines and wives, and he was the only one who had them.

But today is only my first day in the palace. Is there any need to be so anxious?

Although he was furious, Yan Xiuchen was still waiting in Shangyang Palace.

Avoid causing trouble and there is no need to argue too much.

Jiang Qingwu hesitated in his heart, thinking about withdrawing as soon as possible, and then he agreed respectfully.

"I will follow the Queen Mother's instructions."

Hearing Jiang Qingwu's words, the Queen Mother perked up, smiled, and clapped her hands outside the palace.

In a short moment, seven or eight gorgeously dressed and beautiful women walked into the hall.

"See the Queen, she is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Jiang Qingwu turned to look at everyone, but before he could come to his senses, the Queen Mother spoke to them anxiously.

"I've heard everything. The Queen has granted you permission to enter the palace. You will be selected at the Shangyang Palace tomorrow."

"If His Majesty takes a liking to me, I can be made a concubine... no, a noble concubine, that's fine."

Consort? Imperial Consort?

On the first day of entering the palace, you were blocked?

I have such a bad temper.

Jiang Qingwu snorted coldly and looked at the Queen Mother with cold eyes, full of annoyance...
