My Princess Has Been Reborn

Chapter 136 "Despicable"

The next month passed quickly, and I didn't know the passage of time when I was busy.

The matter of the emperor's Zen position as grandson went smoothly. Although the kings and ministers were a little unbelievable, the emperor had reached a consensus with the prime minister and others in advance.Later, if someone raises an objection, there is no need for the emperor to say anything. The prime minister and the others will help to deal with it.

However, within three days, the Ministry of Rituals hastily prepared the ceremony, and the grandson was still in mourning clothes, so he was promoted to a high position without knowing it.Many people didn't really see the appearance of the new monarch until now. Although he was young and could not see his talents for a while, the new monarch still had the shadow of the former prince, which made many ministers place high hopes on him.

After the new king ascended the throne, the king of Chu was indeed reinstated, and became the first object of the little emperor's favor.

I don’t know whether King Chu is grateful to the little emperor, but King Qi and King Wei are really angry and resentful these days—as princes, how could they have no ambitions for the throne? There are unique opportunities.However, the ups and downs are only a day away, but when they turned their heads, they had to bow their heads to their young nephews.

Convinced?How can it be!They didn't expect the eldest grandson to have any other advantages besides being the son of the prince.Even he himself is a concubine like them, and it is not up to him to talk about the progeny, the elders, and the virtuous, so how can it be convincing!

It was right for the old emperor to take the Zen position in advance, otherwise, if he closed his eyes, these unconvinced uncles would immediately cause trouble.

Fortunately, the process of the Zen position went smoothly, King Qi and the others did not dare to make a fuss at this juncture.The old emperor did not die immediately after taking the Zen throne, he sent his grandson to the throne with his last breath, and even supported him to take care of him.

Until a month later, the position of the new emperor gradually stabilized, and the old emperor, who was holding on to his last breath and refused to swallow, also let go.

Before the spring blossoms, Liang Guo ushered in a national funeral.

Everyone has been prepared for this, but when this day really comes, there are still not many people who cry bitterly.The crying and mourning during the wake for several days may be fake, but the first tears and mourning are all real.

In the public office, the old emperor and his ministers have enjoyed each other for decades.Personally, he has always been the reliance of the princes and princesses.As far as the people in the world are concerned, he has even created the peace and prosperity of the Liang Kingdom today.His death is a blow to everyone, and as the news of the emperor's death spreads all over the world, the sorrow will also be heard everywhere.

Qi Yang sent off his elder brother and father one after another, unable to bear the grief any longer, wept bitterly in front of the old emperor's spirit.She never missed the vigil for several consecutive days, and she didn't even go back to the princess mansion once. She looked haggard and thin.

King Lu looked at Qi Yang who was crying sincerely, and then at the princes and princesses who were still doing all kinds of tricks in front of the mourning hall, and sighed in his heart, at first he couldn't bear to watch.He tried to persuade Qi Yang twice but it didn't work, so he turned his head and blamed the son-in-law again.Dao said that she usually looks clever, and she is also very affectionate with Qi Yang, but when it comes to the critical moment, she doesn't know how to persuade the princess?

Lu Qipei smiled wryly when he heard the words, without explaining anything, he bowed his head and let King Lu blame him.

What can she say?Now Qi Yang is feeling uncomfortable, and he is afraid that he doesn't want to see her even more, and her appearance in front of her is just an obstacle to the other party's eyes.

Fortunately, the late emperor's funeral was also carried out quickly. Even though the little emperor who was in charge was still lacking, the funeral was still carried out in an orderly manner.When the first emperor's Zi Palace entered the mountain mausoleum, this grueling funeral will be over.

It's just that Lu Qipei waited for two days in the princess mansion, but he didn't wait for him back.

Qi Yang stayed in the Jingchen Palace for a while, because another busy event had already followed - although the little emperor had been enthroned for more than a month, he was still under the care of the late emperor before, and now the late emperor has gone, all kinds of things are going on. pressed over.

The prime minister is very capable, but we must guard against his monopoly.King Lu is very prestigious, but he has not asked about political affairs for many years.Not to mention General Zhen Guo, he is a warrior at heart, he can lead troops to fight, but he really can't manage politics.So at the end of the matter, it still fell on Qi Yang, who had no name as a government assistant, but was left alone by the former prince.

After Qi Yang finished dealing with the backlog of government affairs during the funeral, he became haggard again.

Lu Qipei felt distressed watching it, but didn't know what to do.Because Qi Yang rejected Lu Qipei on the first day he returned to the mansion, she coldly said to her: "I have to keep my filial piety for my father."

In ancient times, it took three years to keep filial piety for parents, more precisely, it was 27 months.During this period, no drinking, no having fun, no marriage, no banquets, and of course, couples are not allowed to have sex.Qi Yang's reasons are irrefutable, and Lu Qipei has no choice but to agree to share the bed.

Lu Qipei's things were quickly removed to the study room, and the bedroom that originally belonged to two people suddenly became much emptier.

At night, Lu Qipei stood in front of the bedroom and hesitated for a long time, while Qi Yang lay on the couch, obviously exhausted, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time - it wasn't that she couldn't fall asleep tonight, in fact she had been suffering from insomnia recently.

The death of her father and brother is one aspect, and the heavy heart is another aspect, and the most important thing is that the familiar temperature and atmosphere around her are missing, which makes her feel uneasy.Even when I fell asleep, I always woke up in a nightmare.Sometimes I dreamed that I couldn't ask for it in my previous life, and sometimes I dreamed that the assassination was found out, which dragged Lu Qipeixiao to the public...

These days, after one after another of nightmares, Qi Yang is almost in a trance, no wonder she is so haggard.

Now that he finally returned home, the moment he saw Lu Qipei, Qi Yang actually wanted to throw himself into her arms and lust for her warmth.But when the matter came to an end, he remembered the tragic death of the prince and emperor, and felt a thorn in his heart for no reason.

The assassination is actually not related to Lu Qipei, but people's hearts are so complicated, there is no reason to vent their anger.

Qi Yang couldn't sleep, so he raised his hand to cover his slightly sore eyes, and for the first time felt that he was despicable - there was no reason for other people's anger, but her anger was justified, because of guilt and annoyance.

One month is enough time for her to understand many things.She could understand Lu Qipei's innocence in this matter, and naturally she could also think of her own inaction in this matter.After all, Lu Qipei didn't hide anything from her. On the first day of the new year, Zibert deliberately invited Lu Qipei to meet him. Both of them noticed something unusual, but neither of them really took it seriously.

Looking back now, Qi Yang felt that it was already a sign.If she had put her heart into it then, would the result have been different?

Lu Qipei also had this kind of thought before, she was annoyed, Qi Yang was regretful.But people always have some bad roots, that is, they don't want to admit their mistakes, but want to attribute all the mistakes to others.

Qi Yang is not a saint, so she chose to vent her anger.But at the same time, she knew in her heart that it was unfair to Lu Qipei.She stayed in the palace because she was busy and escaped, until today when she saw that person again, she finally had to admit her despicableness.

There were tears sliding down the corners of the eyes, and the covered eyes were sore and sore...

Qi Yang sobbed silently, not knowing how to face Lu Qipei, and how to face himself.

Lu Qipei, who was hesitating outside the door, reached out several times to knock on the door, but finally gave up.She lowered her hands in frustration, looked at the door and sighed deeply, and finally turned around and walked towards the study in dejection.

The bedroom was pitch black, but there were lights in the corridor, which clearly reflected her shadow on the window.

Qi Yang originally covered his eyes and cried, but at this moment he seemed to feel something.She sat up, put down her hands covering her eyes, and looked at the shadow that was fading away through her tearful eyes, feeling even more mixed in her heart.

She didn't chase after Lu Qipei who left, she just hugged the bed and buried her head deeply - wait a few days, she will tell Ah Pei all these thoughts in a few days.Just like she never hides anything from herself, neither should she.

Qi Yang made up his mind, and finally fell asleep gradually under the environment filled with Lu Qipei's breath.

It wasn't a peaceful night, but there were no nightmares either.

In the early morning of the next day, Qi Yang got up to call for someone, but it was not Zhi Ting or the maid who entered, but Lu Qipei who was carrying the washing things.She looked a little cautious, looked at Qi Yang's dazed look, and called out timidly: "A'Ning."

Qi Yang blinked and retracted his gaze. He didn't know how to face Lu Qipei for a while, so he just gave a soft "hmm".

Seeing that she didn't reject her, Lu Qipei was relieved, and when he put down the things in his hand, he took another peek at Qi Yang, and soon found that the other's eyes were slightly red and swollen.She thought that Qi Yang was still sad about the death of the emperor, and she wanted to persuade him but felt that she had no position, so she had to twist the veil carefully and hand it over: "A Ning, don't be too sad, Your Majesty doesn't want to see you like this."

Qi Yang didn't say anything when he heard the words, he just raised his eyes to look at her, his red and swollen eyes had lost the charm of the past, but people couldn't help but feel distressed.

Seeing that she didn't pick up his handkerchief, Lu Qipei's eyes turned slightly uncomfortable.But thinking of the indifference and estrangement between the two of them in the past month, she was a little flustered, so she decided to be cruel, and took a veil and gently applied it to Qi Yang's eyes.

In early spring, when it was warm and cold, the hot water was naturally used for washing in the morning, but the handkerchief was wrung out for a while, but it cooled down quickly.When Lu Qipei applied it to his eyes, it was ice-cold, which relieved the soreness and discomfort in Qi Yang's eyes a lot.

Qi Yang raised his hand and held down Lu Qipei's hand covering her eyes.

Lu Qipei's heart beat faster by two minutes, and there was a feeling of trepidation when the two first met in a trance.But it was only for a moment, and she quickly returned to reality, realizing that there was still a gap between the two that she didn't know how to break.

The heart sank when he mentioned it, Lu Qipei thought that Qi Yang still didn't want to get close to him, so he pursed his lips and planned to withdraw his hand.It turned out that the hand that pressed him was quite strong, and whether he pressed it or took it away, the meaning was obviously different.

Lu Qipei was surprised, and was a little surprised by the sudden thought, so he called out again in a slightly raised tone: "A-Ning?"

Qi Yang didn't move, she pressed her hand to cover her eyes, and gradually felt calm in this brief darkness.
