The following days were busy and hurried for Chu Yi, she would take time to go back to Qiyunxuan every day to see Cheng Zian recovering from his injuries, but most of the time she stayed in Longteng Hall to accompany Chu Zhao.

It was probably because the death of the first emperor had dealt a heavy blow to Chu Zhao, coupled with the busyness of these days, he lost weight and his complexion became more and more ugly.Even with Xu Ze's help, the momentum couldn't be restrained. Later, Chu Yi had to use all means of coquettishness, coercion, etc. to persuade Chu Zhao to rest.But even so, his complexion never got better again, as if his dilapidated body had been injured again, and he couldn't recover easily.

Chu Yi was worried about this, but she was not a doctor, and she didn't have any means to fight against the sky. Apart from persuading Chu Zhao to rest and taking over some affairs, she couldn't do much.

Fortunately, the emperor's observance of filial piety is always based on the day instead of the month. After 27 days, the filial piety period for Chu Yi and others is far away, and Chu Zhao will go out first.He changed out of his white clothes and put on the dragon robe that the Shangfu Bureau rushed to work, and he looked much more energetic.

A month is just a rush compared to the past, but many things can happen in this month now.For example, Cheng Zian's wounds were already healed, so Chu Yi asked Chu Zhao for some secret medicine to remove scars.For another example, most of the lingering vassal kings in Beijing have already left, leaving only a few brothers of the old emperor, Chu Yi and Chu Zhao's serious uncle Wang.Another example is in the sky prison, the former King Zhao and King Wei have been interrogated many times, but unfortunately there is nothing more useful to be asked from these two people...

One month later, Chu Zhao's enthronement ceremony will arrive.

Chu Yi has also experienced the enthronement ceremony once, so he naturally knows how cumbersome the steps are.Thinking of Chu Zhao's pale face, I was always worried that he would not be able to bear the fatigue.

It was a sunny day, and it was considered a good weather. Chu Yi ran to Chonghua Hall early in the morning—because the Longteng Hall’s sleeping hall was burned down, Chu Zhao didn’t rush to move there, and only ordered to rebuild—today The old Chu Zhao looked more energetic than before, with a pair of black eyes that were full of energy, and looked like a person who was refreshed on happy occasions.

Facing Chu Zhao's still pale face, Chu Yi didn't want to dampen his interest, so he smiled and said, "Brother Huang looked extraordinarily energetic today, and it turns out that people are in good spirits when there are happy events. A Yi can't participate in the ceremony, so he will be in the grand ceremony." Congratulations to the emperor first."

A rare smile appeared on Chu Zhao's face, but he waved his hand and said, "Ah Yi will go with me today."

Following his movements, some palace servants presented a gorgeous court dress with gold patterns on a black background, obviously well prepared.

Chu Yi hesitated for a moment, she looked up at Chu Zhao, but there was only pure expectation in the other party's eyes, as if she just hoped that she could participate in this hall, without any further meaning.But Chu Yi knows that princesses have always been in the minority to participate in politics, even in the state of Chu, where a female emperor once ascended the throne. Every time a princess participates in politics, it represents a huge change in the court, and even the state of Chu...

To be honest, Chu Yi didn't want to stand on top of the main hall of Xuanzheng Palace at all.From her previous life to the present, she has never had any ambitions. In her previous life, she just muddled along, and in this life, she only wants to guard the only two people she cares about and live her life in peace.

But some things are never involuntary.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Chu Yi raised his hand and took the court dress from a palace official.

The smile in Chu Zhao's eyes became stronger, he smiled gently, and said to Chu Yi very naturally: "It's getting late, Ah Yi hastened to change his clothes, he happened to be walking with me."

Chu Yi didn't hesitate after taking the court clothes, and followed the palace servants to the side hall to change clothes after accepting it.

The white plain clothes were replaced, and the court clothes with black background and golden patterns looked heavy and gorgeous, which was not suitable for teenage girls to wear, but Chu Yi had an aura of his own, which crushed the clothes to death , not to make people feel ridiculous, but more noble.

Coming out of the side hall, Chu Yi saw Chu Zhao waiting outside.He raised his eyes to look at the person, and said with a smile, "That's right, this suit should really be worn by Ah Yi." After the compliment, he looked up at the sky, then waved to Chu Yi and said, "Okay, Ayi, let's go, we will miss the auspicious time if we are later."

Chu Yi stepped forward to walk with him, half a step behind Chu Zhao.

************************************************** ******************************

The enthronement ceremony was cumbersome and boring, offering sacrifices to heaven, issuing edicts, accepting edicts, and worshiping officials, all of which could not be spared, and it took half a day to do everything, which only made people feel tired.Chu Yi even saw an old official's court clothes drenched in sweat, crumbling. It was only by the people around him who secretly helped him that he managed to survive the entire enthronement ceremony.

Compared with these old and frail veterans, Chu Zhao's physical condition is better, but it is also limited.Especially today was his enthronement ceremony, and as the person in charge, he couldn't relax at all, and he was even more tired than anything else.

Chu Yi was wearing court clothes, and stood in front of all the officials under Chu Zhao's signal.Thanks to the blessing of staying in Longteng Hall every day in the past few days, almost all the important officials in the court know Chu Yi now, and they also know that Chu Zhao loves her a lot.Seeing her appearing at the enthronement ceremony in court attire, these people's eyes flickered a few times, but they didn't say much after all, it was acquiescence.

Finally, the tedious enthronement ceremony came to an end after Chu Zhao sat on the dragon chair and all the officials paid homage.

After standing up with all the ministers, Chu Yi secretly raised his head to see Chu Zhao's face, but standing under the imperial steps and looking at the people above was completely different from sitting on the dragon chair above and looking at the people under the imperial steps.Sitting on the top, you can have a panoramic view of everyone's expressions in the hall, but standing under the imperial steps and trying to see the expression of the superior, you will find that the other person's face seems to be covered by shadows, and you cannot see clearly .

After raising his eyes for a few times, he couldn't see Chu Zhao's expression, so Chu Yi looked away resentfully.After she withdrew her gaze, Chu Zhaofang glanced at her lightly, without expressing anything.

The next step is to promulgate the new emperor's edict.

The first way is to amnesty the world.

The second way is to bestow rewards on the people in the harem, and give titles to the widows of the late emperor, which is considered a common practice.

The third one was somewhat unexpected, it was actually an edict for Chu Yi to participate in politics.

When Chu Yi took over the court clothes, he had already expected this to happen, but he didn't expect Chu Zhao's movements to be so fast.If she hadn't made that trip to Chonghua Palace this morning, when is he going to take out these things?Or is he going to order directly?

Thinking of what to do, Chu Yi still accepted the order calmly, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.

Today is the day when Chu Zhao held his enthronement ceremony, and it was also the first time he formally promulgated the imperial edict.If it were normal, Chu Yi's participation in politics as a princess would probably cause an uproar, and more than half of the court officials would not easily agree.However, the timing of Chu Zhao's selection was just right. No one dared to object to the edict issued by the new emperor for the first time.

The enthronement ceremony is over, and there will be a palace banquet to be held afterwards.

Chu Yi put away the imperial decree, glanced at the tiredness of those old officials, guessed that they must be more willing to go home and lie down now, rather than continue to support their bodies that are about to fall apart to participate in the Laoshi womb banquet!

As the emperor, Chu Zhao left the stage first, and the ministers were arranged to rest in Xuande Hall first.

Chu Yi was not in the mood to be courteous to these unfamiliar ministers, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and stepped out of the Xuanzheng Hall. It was too long, and Chu Zhao didn't have that much time to rest in Chonghua Hall, so he could only rest in the apse of Xuanzheng Hall, and then went to Xuande Hall again.

Perhaps the guards had already received their orders, so Chu Yi arrived at the apse of the Xuanzheng Hall unimpeded, and found Chu Zhao who was resting there.

But half a day later, Chu Zhao's face became paler, and although his eyes were still bright, his brows were unconsciously showing a bit of fatigue.

"Brother Huang, are you okay? Do you want Xu Ze to come over?" Chu Yi didn't hide it, his eyes were clearly worried.

Chu Zhao smiled as if he didn't care, perhaps he was already used to this weak state: "Don't worry, Ah Yi, it's all right. After the enthronement ceremony is over, things are temporarily over, and I'm not as busy as before. You can rest well."

Chu Yi sighed secretly when he heard the words, and looked at Chu Zhao with a little helplessness in his eyes - she is not a child, she has even been an emperor, and knows the beauty and suffering of that position.When will something happen to this huge country?Today the west is dry, tomorrow the east is flooded, one day the south is full of bandits, another day the north is attacked by enemies, there is no time to rest.

As far as Chu Zhao's usual diligence is concerned, Chu Yi doesn't believe that he can rest and recuperate at all!

Stared at by Chu Yi's quiet gaze, Chu Zhao felt a little guilty for no reason.However, as an elder brother, this kind of guilty conscience cannot be shown at all. He raised a gentle smile and was about to say something, but Chu Yi sighed quietly: "Brother Huang, you once told me , everything depends on you. I hope that after many years, this sentence still counts."

The gentle smile on Chu Zhao's face was slightly stiff, and he opened his mouth, wanting to affirm it.But in his heart, he is more aware of his physical condition, and he is unwilling to make promises that may not be fulfilled, which will only add sadness and resentment.

His hesitation fell into Chu Yi's eyes and made her heart sink even more, but her original intention was to persuade Chu Zhao to pay attention to his body, not to force him to bear anything.So after saying this, she frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, Ah Yi has grown up, you don't have to bear it alone if you have anything to do, just tell me, and I can help you too." .”

Hearing this, Chu Zhao raised his eyes, and the girl in front of him had bright eyes and bright teeth, tall and straight, full of dignity, and she was no longer the thin and pitiful appearance when they first met.That's right, as early as half a month ago, she had already reached Ji, but it was a pity that she missed Ji's ceremony because of her filial piety.
