Dayan has no precedent for martyrdom and burial, so most of Emperor Mingde's harem, except for the concubines who had given birth to princesses, were sent to the imperial temple.

Soon after Emperor Mingde was buried in the imperial mausoleum, Yuan Wang Zhao Yin was called into the palace.

Another three days, the enthronement ceremony.

Dressed in a dragon robe and a dragon crown, Zhao Zhen led all the ministers to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to the ancestors and the people of Sheji.

The new king succeeds to the throne, and the crown princess Qiu's family is virtuous, gentle and quiet, so she can be named queen.

He also named Yuan Wang Zhao Yin as the regent.

The name was changed to Yong'an.

After the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor Zhao Zhen had a grand banquet for the ministers. More than two hundred tables were set up in the hall and outside the hall. Although the princes had not been ordered to return to the palace, they all ordered their sons to return to Yandu just like King Qing.During this palace banquet, all the kings and princes were present at the banquet.

Because Emperor Ming De had just passed the funeral, even if there was a banquet in the palace, Le Fang still did not dare to indulge in silk and bamboo.Although the dancers who entered the palace were beautiful and danced gracefully, the ministers just kept their heads down and drank, not daring to look too much at these dancers.

The current Empress Dowager only sat for a while, took a few sips of wine, and then ordered her mother to help her leave.The queen mother also drank a few cups, and left the palace to the new emperor.

"After all, she is a dancer in the palace. She has a unique appearance and skills." A bold prince looked at the dancer who was leading the dance, and licked his lips. "Such a beauty must have a different style on the bed."

Qiu Xin sat on one side and snorted lightly when he heard this.The Zhao family seems to prefer Hu girls. Over the years, the small country outside Guanwai has sent many beauties with high nose bridges and blue eyes to the palace one after another according to Zhao's preferences.Most of them are dancers, and some are rewarded to others.

"This girl has a beautiful figure. Since Prince Qi likes it, why don't you ask His Majesty to reward you with this girl?"

Qiu Xin's voice was neither high nor low, and all the princes heard it. Looking at the prince of Qi who was pinched by the concubine next to him, all of them held back their laughter.

Zhao Duqing sat aside, glanced at Wu Ji, and lowered his head to drink.

After drinking for three rounds, many people in the hall were a little half drunk.Zhao Duqing rubbed his forehead, took advantage of changing clothes, went out to blow some air.

Yinhua, the eunuch next to the new emperor, stepped forward at this time.

"Your Majesty wants to see this king?" Zhao Duqing was a little surprised.

When Zhao Zhen was still the crown prince, Zhao Duqing's relationship with him was not that close.All the kings have fiefs, and most of their children are in the fiefs. Most of the people who have good friends with Zhao Zhen are from the Qiu family.Hearing that Zhao Zhen wanted to see him, Zhao Duqing was somewhat surprised.

"My lord, Your Majesty cannot leave for too long."

Yinhua urged twice, Zhao Duqing nodded and followed closely, and soon saw Zhao Zhen who was standing in the distance with a few ladies.

The young prince didn't even have time to shed his childishness before he was embarrassingly pushed to the throne.

Now that the dragon robe is added to the body, it still looks unsuitable.

"His Majesty."

Zhao Zhen was in a trance, when she heard the voice, she suddenly turned her back and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand.

Zhao Duqing was a little surprised: "Your Majesty is crying?"

Zhao Zhen shook her head: "A bug flew into the eye."

Zhao Duqing understood: "Do you want to wipe?"

"No problem." Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Cousin, I'm looking for you, I want to entrust my cousin to do something."

Zhao Duqing was silent, just looked at Zhao Zhen and waited for him to speak.

"Cousin, don't worry, I don't want you to do anything outrageous, but I... I want to know why my father... died."

The cause of Emperor Mingde's death was said to be a sudden death, but only the Queen Mother and the others knew that he died of the extremely disgraceful medicine of tigers and wolves.

Since Zhao Zhen returned to the palace, he had been restless day and night. Whenever he thought of his father's death, he felt that the dragon chair was so terrible that he dared not sit down.

"I want to know whether my father passed away suddenly because of the medicine of tigers and wolves, or because of other reasons." He was afraid of death, and even more afraid of being killed by the people around him.Since returning to the palace, Zhao Zhen didn't even dare to get close to the princess. Even if she went back to the East Palace, she could only stay in the room of several other side concubines who had nothing to do with the Qiu family.

He even dared not touch his only son.

He was terrified that the child had the blood of the Qiu family.

Looking at Zhao Zhen who was timidly trying to hold on in front of him, Zhao Duqing nodded his head with some reluctance.

"Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter. Your Majesty also needs to be more careful in the palace." He paused and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty can trust His Royal Highness Yuan Wang more, no matter what, His Highness Yuan Wang will not harm you. "

Zhao Zhen trembled, and finally calmed down after a long time. She pursed her lower lip and nodded heavily: "Okay. I, Uncle Xinhuang."

Different from the atmosphere in the palace, in Guiyan City, because of the new king's accession to the throne, the market has reopened.

The life of the people must continue, as long as the new emperor ascends the throne, the past will be over, at most it is just lamenting that the new emperor ascends the throne and amnesties the world, and many people are released from prison.

Chu Heng has also been a little busy recently.

The weather in Guiyan City is getting colder day by day, and it will be winter soon.When the seasons change, more and more people get sick, and the servants of Prince Qing's Mansion have coughing and falling ill every now and then.While Chu Heng followed the doctors in the city to prescribe medicine for the common people, he was still teaching several orphans who lost their parents due to the war to read and write.

Lu Ting went back to Prince Qing's mansion in the middle of the night, the servant carrying the lamp was about to go forward, when he turned his head, Lu Ting who was following behind him had disappeared.

"Lang... where did Mr. Lang go?"

"Let's go to the West Wing Courtyard to find Dr. Chu." The guard on the side touched the tip of his nose, "The general followed the prince out of the city to patrol, and he just returned today. I must miss Dr. Chu a little bit."

In the west wing courtyard, Chu Heng hadn't fallen asleep as expected.

The candlelight was flickering, and he was flicking his abacus under the lamp, and was checking the account books that Old Chen personally sent.Old Chen was the first to notice that Lu Ting had entered the courtyard, so he hurriedly stood up to welcome him out.

Lu Ting was a little surprised when he saw old Mr. Chen: "Chen Guanshi?"

The sound of "Chen Guanshi" made Chu Heng listen carefully. He looked up and saw the person, and hurriedly set the final calculation: "We will talk about the rest tomorrow, and Chen Guanshi should go back to sleep earlier."

Chen Guanshi knew about the relationship between the two, so he resigned immediately.The servants of the West Wing Courtyard quickly boiled hot water and delivered the water and tubs to the house.

Chu Heng cleaned up the table and case, and when he turned around, Lu Ting had already taken off his clothes and sat in the bathtub to take a bath.

The man's shoulders are broad and thick, and there are still a few obvious bruises on it.Don't be tempted to soak your bronzed body in the water.

Chu Heng's eyes lit up, he pressed his ten fingers, walked to the tub, stretched out his hands to massage his shoulders and neck, and rubbed away the bruises.

The man leaned against the bathtub, raised his hand to press the kneading hand on his shoulder: "Let's take a bath together?"

Chu Heng coughed subtly twice, and just about to be polite, the man suddenly stood up from the bathtub, reached out and picked him up directly, and put him into the water.

Chu Heng: "I'm still wearing clothes..."

The tub is big enough to accommodate two people and more.Chu Heng only now remembered why the look in his eyes was so strange after the servant went to buy a new bathtub for no reason a while ago...

The water covered his shoulders, and the clothes were tightly attached to his body in the water. Chu Heng helplessly pushed Lu Ting twice, and half pushed and half let him throw the clothes he took off out of the tub.

The bun was untied, a head of black hair was loosened, and it was wetly draped on the chest and back. Chu Heng stretched out his hand to pull it up, but his waist was suddenly bound by someone, and he was pressed against the edge of the tub. Hot kisses.

"I miss you."

Lu Ting left Prince Qing's Mansion for a few days, and was deeply in love, not to mention he thought about it, even Chu Heng himself thought about it a little bit.

"It misses you too."

Who?

Chu Heng was a little dazed by the kiss, and the next moment, the hands that were used to hold the bow and sword grabbed his hand, and pressed the other party's lively place.

"It misses you, misses you very much."

The deep voice spoke emotional words, Chu Heng was burning hot all over, couldn't help but shake the things in his heart, and heard the man's panting by his ears, he finally couldn't hold it back and completely sank.

At dawn the next day, the morning light shone into the house, and Chu Heng barely woke up.

He was not awake yet, with his eyes half-opened, he only vaguely heard some familiar voices outside the door, and moved his head slightly. On the half bed to the left, the figure of the man had disappeared.

He got up from the bed, scratched his head and slept all night, his long hair was messy, his eyes glanced at the undershirt spread on the table, and his mind flashed that after he got out of the bathtub last night, he was pressed on the table for the second round Immediately, he completely recovered from the picture.

Getting off the bed, Chu Heng grabbed the wrinkled and stained jacket, gritted his teeth, threw it under the bed, and found another one from the cabinet to put on.

The sound outside the door had stopped, he put on his clothes, and went out to call someone to bring water. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Ting sitting beside the stone table in the courtyard, holding a knife in one hand and a cloth in the other, carefully looking at the water. wiped.

"Doctor Chu is awake." The servant said respectfully, and hurriedly turned to fetch the water.

Chu Heng glanced at the knife in Lu Ting's hand, and knew that the movement outside the door just now was because he was practicing kung fu, and asked, "Aren't you on duty today?"

When Lu Ting returned to Guiyan City, he did all the things in the camp.Going out early and returning late is not as easy as when Quyu acted as the governor.

"Father allowed me three days off. Coincidentally, these few days are Hairpin Festival here, I will accompany you for a stroll."

Dayan men do not have the custom of hairpin flowers. The reason why there is this hairpin flower festival in Yancheng City is that it was introduced to the city from tribes outside the pass through long-term trade exchanges.Later, it gradually evolved into a festival in Guiyan City, which is similar to other festivals. The most lively ones are the market, lanterns, and the hot sales of various handmade flower hairpins.

Chu Heng had heard about the Hairpin Flower Festival from other people, but he didn't expect that Lu Ting planned to accompany him on a stroll around the Hairpin Flower Festival. His heart became hot, and in front of the servants, he stretched out his hand to hook the other person's chin, She raised her lips and smiled: "Okay, I'll buy you a flower hairpin later on, and you can wear it for me to see."

Just kidding, Chu Heng did not intend to buy flower hairpins for others to wear.

Both he and Lu Ting are men, and no one needs to wear these things.It was only by accident that he saw a few flower hairpins with exquisite workmanship, and Chu Heng couldn't help but marvel: "The craftsmanship is so ingenious, why don't you send one back to Jingyuan Hou's mansion, your mother might like it."

Lu Tingben stood behind him, blocking the flow of people for Chu Heng. Hearing the sound, he glanced at the flower hairpin in his hand, with amazement in his eyes, but quickly reached out to pick up another simple but surprisingly elegant hairpin from the booth. flower hairpin.

"Aniang, she likes this kind of stuff." Lu Ting handed over the hairpin in his hand and asked, "How much does this one cost?"

The peddler who sold the flower hairpins was a barbarian, he could barely speak awkward Mandarin, and he quoted a price honestly, which was really a good way to earn some money for his craftsmanship.

Lu Ting paid an extra tael of silver and asked the peddler to find a box to wrap it up, and saw a flute that didn't look very good on the booth.He was about to ask, when suddenly there was an exclamation from the crowd.

"Someone passed out!"
