After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Two more days passed.

Emperor Chengren announced at the morning court that he would abdicate early and pass the throne to the crown prince.

When this decision was made, all the court officials were very surprised.

Some approve, while others discourage.

No matter what the court officials said, Emperor Chengren was determined to abdicate.

The court officials also accepted it. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ability in managing state affairs was obvious to all.

In this way, the Ministry of Rites selected an auspicious day and would hold the coronation ceremony for Xiao Yujing on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.

That day was also New Year’s Eve, a day for family reunion.

When the news came, the whole country celebrated.

In a joyful atmosphere, Duke Jiang invited the two elders of the Ning family to his house to discuss the marriage of Jiang Ci'an and Ning Yilan after the new year.

Sitting in the reception room, both families had joyful looks on their faces.

The two elders of the Ning family are completely confident in Jiang Ci'an, and they are very satisfied with this son-in-law.

Duke Jiang and Madam Jiang were familiar with Yi Lan's character and were naturally very satisfied with her.

Soon, under the guidance of the matchmaker, Mrs. Zuo, the two families finalized the wedding date and various details.

The wedding date is set for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the New Year, the Lantern Festival.

The two families were naturally very happy.

Jiang Cijin looked at his second brother who was about to get married, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't expect that my second brother is getting married now. Just think about how he was foolishly deceived by a woman into getting pregnant with his child a year ago..."

As soon as the words fell, the whole room fell silent.

Censor Ning frowned tightly, "What did you just say?"

Jiang Ci Jin suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"I...I was just talking nonsense, Lord Ning, please don't take it to heart..."

Censor Ning looked at Jiang Ci'an, "What does he mean by this?"

Jiang Ci'an's scalp suddenly went numb and he looked at Mrs. Jiang for help.

Madam Jiang tried to maintain her smile, "Lord Ning, this is a long story..."

Mrs. Jiang explained what had happened in a concise and clear manner.

After hearing this, Censor Ning stood up suddenly.

"Humph, I didn't expect General Jiang to have such a romantic affair. I think we should discuss this marriage another day!"

After saying that, he took Madam Ning and Ning Yilan and walked out.

The Jiang family members were panicked, and their eyes were as sharp as knives and shot at Jiang Ci Jin.

Jiang Ci Jin felt that he had done something wrong and stood aside silently.

Duke Jiang and Madam Jiang didn't bother to scold him and ran out in a hurry.

"Master Ning, Madam Ning, please don't leave yet..."

Jiang Ci'an punched Jiang Ci Jin hard on the shoulder and quickly chased after him.

The rest of the people looked at Jiang Ci Jin with dissatisfaction, and Mrs. Zuo looked at him in shock.

She has been a matchmaker for so many years, but this is the first time she has seen her own family members sabotage her.

Jiang Ruoli sighed helplessly.

"Third brother, you're on your own..."

She really didn't expect that this matter would be brought up again after so much time had passed.

Jiang Ci Jin felt the blame coming from all sides and looked at Song A Yao with grievance.

"Ayao..."

"Don't call me, idiot!" Song Ayao was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to him.

Jiang Cijin couldn't help but wail in his heart:

God has eyes, he really didn’t do it on purpose!!!

-

late at night.

Jiang Ruoli fell into a deep sleep lying on the bed.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a knock on the window, but Jiang Ruoli was sleeping so soundly that she didn't hear it.

Xiao Yujing waited outside for a while, and when he heard no movement in the house, he used his internal strength to pull out the wooden bolt on the window.

Opening the window, Xiao Yujing turned over and went into the house.

After closing the window, he quickly walked to the bed.

Looking at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, Xiao Yujing's eyes were soft.

Ever since he sent her home that day, the two of them haven't seen each other for seven or eight days. Logically, tomorrow is his coronation ceremony, and he shouldn't leave the palace so late at night.

But he missed her so much that he was going crazy, and couldn't help but sneak out of the palace to see her.

Xiao Yujing sat on the edge of the bed and raised his hand to touch Jiang Ruoli's face.

Perhaps feeling the heat, the person in his sleep couldn't help but rub his palm.

Xiao Yujing chuckled.

Really like a little kid...

Looking at her affectionately, Xiao Yujing felt infinite satisfaction and happiness in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to ask his father to grant him a marriage, but he didn't expect that his father would directly pass the throne to him on the grounds that his health could not support it.

Now he no longer needs anyone's will.

He will definitely give the highest honor to his beloved girl.

Xiao Yujing gently held her hand, the chilblains on it were still very red and swollen.

He kissed her hand lovingly.

Li'er, wait for me.

When I ascend the throne, I will marry you into the palace and make you the most honorable queen of Dacheng.

Jiang Ruoli didn't know what she was dreaming about in her sleep, and she muttered something softly.

Xiao Yujing stroked her hair lovingly.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips deeply...

-

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventieth year of Dacheng is an auspicious day.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, court officials all entered the palace early to attend the coronation ceremony.

Xiao Yujing, dressed in a dragon robe, ascended the Temple of Heaven for sacrifice under the watchful eyes of the public.

Worship, pray, and bless.

Afterwards, all officials came to congratulate him and he accepted the worship from other officials.

At the end of the ceremony, the accession edict was issued.

Xiao Yujing looked at the civil and military officials kneeling below and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This Dacheng kingdom is his after all...

After the coronation ceremony, Xiao Yujing finished his first morning court session and felt inexplicably tired.

He returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, took off his heavy dragon robe, and sat down in the armchair.

"Your Majesty, would you like to rest for a while?" Eunuch Luo saw him rubbing his forehead, seeming to be feeling a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Yujing waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Bring up the memorials from the past two days."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Luo responded and withdrew.

Xiao Yujing tilted his head and his eyes fell on the little bamboo rabbit hanging above the dragon bed.

The whole person was stunned.

When did such childish stuff appear in his temple?

He couldn't help but walk to the bed, reached out and held the little rabbit, looking at it carefully.

When Eunuch Wu saw that Xiao Yujing was taking a long time to come out, he went into the bedroom and saw Xiao Yujing staring at the bed.

"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?" Eunuch Wu asked puzzledly.

"This thing..." Xiao Yujing raised his hand and pointed at the hanging bamboo rabbit with some confusion.

Eunuch Wu understood.

"Your Majesty, don't you remember? This was the New Year's gift Princess Yuyao gave you last year..."

"Yuyao?" Xiao Yujing was a little surprised.

When did Xiao Yuyao have this idea and think of giving him a gift?

However, the workmanship of this little thing was not very fine, and it was obviously made by a novice. He could not think of anyone else except Xiao Yuyao.

What I didn't expect was that he would actually hang this gift on the head of the bed.

Xiao Yujing shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to ask Eunuch Wu to take it down, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart for no reason.

Xiao Yujing suddenly covered his heart.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Eunuch Wu stepped forward in panic.

Xiao Yujing recovered from the heartache and waved his hand.

"Nothing, go to the study."

Eunuch Wu looked at him with some concern.

Xiao Yujing straightened her clothes and walked out the door.
