After another month, the emperor was seriously ill, and Zhao Qi was named regent, so they had even fewer chances to meet each other.Cheng Ran drank too much alcohol and gradually emptied his body. When his mother saw him, she just sighed: "If my mother knew that sending you to Beijing to rush for the exam would make you so haggard, she would never ask you to come..."

Later, my mother said that she would live in the temple. She said: "Your mother deserves the wealth and honor you earned for her."

Cheng Ran begged his mother and said, "I will win the first prize soon, please stay and let my son be filial to you."

The mother suddenly shed tears: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until that day. Mother's illness cannot be cured, but Ran'er, if you go to high school, you can honor your ancestors, and mother will feel at ease even if she dies."

At the beginning of August of the same year, the emperor died and Zhao Qi succeeded to the throne.

After planning for such a long time, it is of course happy that he was allowed to stabilize the country before he could rebel. He immediately pardoned the world, reduced rent and tax, and opened warehouses to release grain.

All the counselors and retainers in the palace had other assignments, only Cheng Ran stayed in the palace alone.

Cheng Ran knew that his position was very embarrassing, so he always hid in the house and drank, but when he got up this morning, he felt something was different, it was too noisy, it hadn't been so loud for a long time.Cheng Ran asked the servants, and said that there seemed to be a female guest coming, so the yard had to be cleaned again.

Without a host, who is this lady guest visiting?Cheng Ran guessed that maybe Zhao Qi was coming back, he still had something to ask of him, and he was sure to win the first prize.

There are few people to take care of, and weeds have grown in the beautiful courtyard, the autumn is bleak, the fallen leaves are colorful and the flowers are poisonous.

Cheng Ran put the snacks on the table in the kiosk, and hid himself behind a big tree, vaguely remembering such a scene before.The footsteps are approaching, the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year. Which female guest is Zhao Qi receiving today?

I faintly heard a silver bell-like laughter, but how many vicissitudes were contained in the crispness.It turned out to be an old friend, Cheng Ran remembered that she was Yao Yao, the daughter of the Minister of Rites.

Yao Yao gave a big gift to Zhao Qi: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, who is sitting firmly in the country, without even spending a single soldier."

"Follow the destiny." Zhao Qi's voice was no longer evil, but became calm and sophisticated, full of vigor.

"The concubine once had an appointment with His Majesty. If His Majesty wears a yellow robe one day, he will let go of the father who disobeyed you." Yao Yao was very worried.
