When Jun Ruohan came in, he smelled faintly of alcohol, Shen Qiuyun saw that his expression was gloomy, and subconsciously felt a little confused.

"Qiu Yun pays respects to the emperor."

Jun Ruohan supported her and didn't let her salute: "Sit down, I'm here, I have something to ask you."

Shen Qiuyun sat down anxiously, Yingying's eyes were half looking and half avoiding.

"Is there anything the emperor wants to ask Qiu Yun?"

Jun Ruohan sat down opposite her, and didn't make any detours. He knew that Shen Qiuyun was smart and did too much foreshadowing, so he might as well cut to the chase: "Even if you know that I don't have any friendship with you, are you still willing to be my queen? "

Shen Qiuyu really raised her eyes this time, and looked at the man in front of her seriously. She knew that Jun Ruohan didn't like her, but she didn't expect to hear him say it himself.

"I would," she said, without hesitation.

With pity in Jun Ruohan's eyes, he stood up after a long silence: "In that case, you should rest early!"

"Your Majesty." Shen Qiuyu stopped him for the first time.

Jun Ruohan stopped and turned to look at him.

"Your Majesty... But does your heart belong?"

Shen Qiuyun is a good girl, but Jun Ruohan didn't want to lie to her: "Yes."

"Is it... Qiu Yu?" Shen Qiuyun asked again.

"No."

Shen Qiuyun bit her lip. If the emperor likes Qiu Yu, then she is willing to give up this position. If not, she would rather fight again and become his queen. She believes that no matter how cold the stone is, it will be warmed eventually. one day.

"Since the emperor has a sweetheart, after a few days of the draft, you can... also let her enter the palace and stay by your side in the future." Shen Qiuyun said, since you want to choose a concubine for the emperor to fill the harem, it is better to choose the emperor's favorite concubine. of.

Jun Ruohan smiled helplessly: "He won't come, and he can't."

Shen Qiuyun nodded, although he didn't know why: "Qiuyun, there is one more thing, I want to hear the emperor's opinion."

"speak."

"Qiu Yu came to see me tonight. She said...she also wants to participate in the draft in a few days, and her father has already agreed. When the time comes, I..."

"No." Shen Qiuyun was stopped by Jun Ruohan before he finished speaking, and his tone became tough, "Tell Song Guogong, one girl from the Shen family is enough, if I want to send both, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it." This is a blessing for all.”

"Yes." Shen Qiuyun blushed and sent Jun Ruohan out respectfully.

The next day, when Gu Fang was woken up by Uncle Fu, he couldn't remember where he was for a while.

After lying on the bed for a long time, the picture of last night was pieced together little by little, and smelling the clothes, the smell of alcohol was not too strong, but it was a little hard to describe after being covered in the quilt all night.

"Master, go wash up quickly, today is going to participate in the empress ceremony." Fu Bo said.

After hearing this, Gu Fang got up from the bed and almost forgot about it.

After washing, he tidied up in front of the mirror for about half a stick of incense, and finally dragged Jiang Tong to show him for a long time, and then left the mansion satisfied.

Jiang Tong stood on the porch and looked at the back of the person walking out the door: "Those who didn't know thought you got married today!"

Gu Fang, together with Qi Yuan, Tang Long, and Zhuang Zhou of Zhang Jiansi, arrived at the gate of the palace and was led by the little eunuch Yinli to the outside of the Baohe Palace.

Zhuang Zhou saw that Gu Fang seemed very different today, so he leaned in front of him: "Did you...did you dress up specially today?"

Although his voice was not loud, it still attracted the attention of the two people in front. Qi Yuan and Tang Long both turned their heads to look at Gu Fang.

It was rare for the person being looked at to feel embarrassed, and elbowed the talkative person: "I'm a big man, why don't you dress up, can you study hard?"

"Then you look...why are you so, so radiant today?" Zhuang Zhou said.

"It's the same as what you wear. If you have to say that I look radiant, it can only be said to be natural!" Gu Fang raised his nostrils.

"I said you're fat and you're still out of breath?" Zhuang Zhou laughed a few times, but couldn't help but look left and right at him, and when he was done, he pinched his chin and frowned, relentlessly, "Where is it? the same?"

"You're almost done. It should be because you haven't seen me for a long time that you feel this way." Gu Fang said, he went to see him the day before yesterday, but this fellow ran to the Cangchun Tower.

Zhuang Zhou suddenly realized and nodded: "It is possible."

Today is indeed a good day, it has entered the early winter, but the sun is still shining brightly.

While the few people were chatting, the ministers rushed to the Baohe Hall before the auspicious time, found their seats, and stood in line.

This was the first time in Gu Fang's life that he participated in the Empress Dowager Ceremony, and apart from a little awkwardness in his heart, he was also faintly excited.

Da Yue's post-sealing ceremony is not cumbersome.

Long carpets embroidered with dragons and inlaid with phoenixes were spread from the front of Baohe Hall to the outside of Duanyang Palace. treasure case.

As soon as the auspicious time comes, the inner supervisor will leave after displaying festivals, books, and treasures in various cases in the palace.Then, it was Jun Ruohan who led the new empress wrapped in a phoenix robe, and walked slowly from the inside of the palace gate to the front of the Baohe Hall amidst the kneeling of the officials shouting long live and thousand live, and stood in Danchi.

Gu Fang knelt at the foot of the steps in the distance. If you want to say that the closest time to Jun Ruohan was probably when he was leading the new queen and walking across the long carpet, the kingly aura that looked down on the world made people kneel at his feet, and it was like I can't help shrinking my shoulders, the Jun Ruohan today is very different from the Jun Ruohan before.

The emperor and the new queen stood there side by side, receiving worship from thousands of people.

Jun Ruohan had an unsmiling face, but now he looked serious and cold. He looked for that figure among the crowd of people who buried their faces and bent over their bodies. Unfortunately, there were too many people, even if they were standing in a high position, looking around Still no end in sight.

This made him a little flustered.

After the introduction officer introduced the new one, he knelt in the north of the place of worship and began to read the book.

"I have never been slack in inheriting the ancestral lineages of the late emperors or enshrining the ancestral temple. I have heard that those who are the sages must stand up and build the temples of the ancestral ancestors. Today, Shen Shi, the daughter of the Duke of Song, is reverent and respectful. It is good, it is advisable to build Changqiu to enshrine the ancestral temple. It is to recite the past, not to replace the old order, so that the envoy Chijie and the Taiwei will grant the queen the seal..."

Yinli Guande's voice was really loud, and Gu Fang could hear it clearly even when he was kneeling at the back of the pole.

After receiving the canon and the treasure, the new queen performed six sues and three kneeling salutes, and then the inner eunuch held the festival and left the palace.

Gu Fang followed Zhuang Zhou and the others, rubbing his legs and walking towards the gate of the palace. It turned out that it was not others who suffered the most in the empress ceremony, but the civil and military officials who knelt all the way.

But the scene was really shocking, he could feel the momentum of the earthquake just by kneeling below, not to mention the feeling of the pair of Bi people watching thousands of people bowing down at the top of the high rank.

"Gu Fang, after today, it's time to go back to the Zhangjian Division?" Qi Yuan, who was walking in front, said suddenly.

Gu Fang's movement of rubbing his legs froze: "Yes, I'll go tomorrow."

But he said in his heart, this Zhang Jiansi is really not for everyone, he is busy all day and night, and he has no boss.

He has only been back from Feng County for a few days, and he misses Jiangling very much at this moment. If he doesn't come back, he will have the title of minor envoy and work as deputy director general.

"Well, I'm getting old too, you young people should work hard!" Qi Yuan sighed.

Tang Long and the others knew what Director Qi meant when they heard it.

In fact, Qi Yuan has always been relatively close to King Yan and Taiwei Liu. After the two incidents in Fengxian County in Southern Xinjiang, he also saw that King Yan could not become a climate, and Jun Ruohan had completely established his footing. .

If he didn't retreat at this time, he would have to wait for someone to personally pull his pigtails.

Kneeling all morning, Gu Fang didn't eat any food when he got home, he just lay on the bed and was going to sleep, but he didn't want anyone to let him do whatever he wanted.

"Brother Gu, Brother Gu, are you back?" Jiang Tong watched him enter the bedroom, and knocked on the door after following him.

Gu Fang didn't take off his clothes, and turned over on the bed: "He didn't come back, he died."

"Then I'll go in and collect your body!" Jiang Tong said as he pushed the door open and entered, seeing him lying on the bed so swollen, he hurried forward to help him up, "You still have to wear this official uniform for the dinner party , why are you so careless!"

"It's all right for you guy, if you have nothing to do, go out and play with your muddy bastard." Gu Fang was sleepy and tired, and couldn't even open his eyes.

"I just want to ask you, is the Empress Dowager Ceremony good today?" Jiang Tong simply sat down on the bed.

"The queen is pretty." Gu Fang half-closed his eyes and said vaguely.

"Who asked you about the queen, did I mean the empress ceremony was shocking?"

"It was so shocking." After Gu Fang finished speaking, he slid his body on the pillow, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Seeing that he seemed to be really falling asleep, Jiang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and quietly left the room.

I thought this guy saw his sweetheart married someone else today, and he would cry under the quilt when he came back. It seems that he thought too much, this person's heart is not so big.

After Jiang Tong left, Gu Fang opened his eyes and sat up, took off his official uniform, didn't bother to go to the screen to hang it, and threw it on the ground casually.

After lying down again, Gu Fang touched the corners of his eyes, it was dry without even a little moisture.

Good.

When I woke up this time, the sun was already setting.

As soon as Gu Fang opened his confused eyes, he was startled by a big face that caught his eyes, and he couldn't breathe well.

He stretched out his hands to support the face away from above him: "Don't you like your brother? You have moved on so soon?"

"You're quite immodest, who's empathizing with you? I just want to see if you've fallen asleep or passed out." Jiang Tong stood up straight with his hands folded across his chest, "The sun has already set, so we can't go to the dinner party." Alright, I've changed my clothes."

Only then did Gu Fang wake up a little bit, and turned his head to look at him: "Are you trying to pretend to be my servant?"

"Yes!" Jiang Tong nodded.

"The palace banquet is served by the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and the boys can't get in." Gu Fang held back his heartfelt ridicule at Jiang Tong.

Hearing this, Jiang Tong stomped his feet angrily: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
