Last time, it was said that all the veterans came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to petition the emperor: the queen will accept the concubine.Xuanming was furious, but he still restrained himself and ordered Zhao Xian to draw up an order in front of the veterans: "Everyone of our people who interferes with the royal marriage will be executed! Courtiers who win over concubines in the harem will implicate the nine clans!"

For a moment, the air seemed to be frozen in the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After Xuan Ming promulgated the decree, he walked away in a huff.

It turned out that Ming Hanxiang already knew Jia Yuanchun was about to do something the night before, so he came from the West Sixth Palace overnight to meet Xuanming.

Ming Hanxiang didn't have any polite words, and after sitting down, he said: "The Ai family knows that the emperor is in charge of many affairs, and the state affairs are onerous, so he skips the red tape between the monarch and his ministers, and directly explains the purpose of coming. If there is any impoliteness, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Xuanming said: "Since the late emperor passed away, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty resigned with me and returned to his hometown. He didn't care about the government. With the temperament of the Ming concubine, she should plan to leave the palace and stay away from the disputes in the harem. Today, the Ming concubine is still staying in the palace. In the process, there must be an important task entrusted by the late emperor?"

Ming Hanxiang smiled slightly, and presented the scroll in his hand to Xuanming, saying: "The emperor is indeed very wise, and there is no need to conceal the Ai family. The Ai family was indeed entrusted by the late emperor: Lin Daiyu is the queen. The Ai family I have the imperial decree of the late emperor in my hand, and I was in the period of filial piety of the late emperor, so it is inconvenient to announce the decree. Now that the filial piety is full, the Ai family must quickly complete the entrustment of the late emperor, and then they can go back to the mountains with their father and live a peaceful life. "

When Xuanming opened the scroll, it was the imperial decree written by the first emperor himself——canonize Lin Daiyu as Xuanming's queen!

Xuanming couldn't help sighing in his heart that the former emperor had the eyes to know pearls. Lin Daiyu was intelligent and upright.

Xuanming put away the imperial decree in his hand, with a rare kindness on his face, and said to Ming Hanxiang: "Thank you, Concubine Ming, for your heartfelt heart to the late emperor. I have the same thoughts in my heart as the late emperor, and I also think that Lin Daiyu is the best candidate for empress, but The time is not yet ripe, because Lin Daiyu needs to give her heart completely to me, so that she can be a good queen. It is because I have not done enough, and now Lin Daiyu has not been able to do this, so I have to trouble Concubine Ming to stay in this palace for a while In time, I will work hard to confer Lin Daiyu as empress as soon as possible."

Ming Hanxiang frowned, and said worriedly: "The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. It is not impossible to confer the title of Lin Daiyu first, and then slowly take her sincerity. The main reason why the Ai family said this is that someone has long been eyeing the post. Knowing the details, she must have known that the Empress Dowager Yuan has made some moves. She must have summoned the old officials of Jia's Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong to persuade the emperor to welcome the imperial concubine as the queen. How should the emperor resolve it at that time? The decree is moved out, and it is announced to the world that Lin Daiyu can be named queen, saving a lot of trouble."

A trace of disdain flashed in Xuanming's eyes and he said: "Toffee don't have to worry, I am the king of a country, if I just want to save trouble, wouldn't it be more despised by this swindler who hides private interests. The Jia family In addition, those old ministers, relying on their meritorious service, will not do whatever they want for a day or two, if they continue to indulge, how can I be respected by the people of the world? Do not worry, Concubine Ming, I have my own way to deal with it."

After Ming Hanxiang left, Xuanming had already figured out a countermeasure.That's why there was the scene of promulgating the edict that courtiers and concubines are not allowed to interfere with the canonization of the queen.Xuanming didn't start a killing spree, but warned the crowd, making all the veterans surrender in their hearts, and Jia Yuanchun also raised his eyebrows in anger. Once the edict came out, it was no longer possible for the concubine in the harem to interfere in the canonization of the queen, but Jia Yuanchun Where are you willing to give up?Next, think day and night to come up with a countermeasure.

At night, Lin Daiyu went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review the pleadings. She also heard about what happened during the day, but she didn't take it to heart.When Lin Daiyu finished reviewing the papers, seeing Xuanming raised his hand, all the father-in-laws retreated in unison, and closed the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. A dozen internal eunuchs walked in from the shop, all holding items such as clothing.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help being stunned, Xuanming walked up to Lin Daiyu and said: "Lin Daiyu, rest later today, can I take you to a place?"

It was the first time Lin Daiyu heard Xuan Ming speak in an inviting tone, she was a little uncomfortable, and quickly replied: "Yes...but what is the purpose of these clothes?"

Xuanming didn't answer, Lin Daiyu looked at it for a while, and saw that the clothes were the official uniforms of the inner prison, which was the right size for Xuanming and herself, so she realized that Xuanming meant to go out in disguise.A small eunuch took Lin Daiyu to the side hall to change clothes, and when Lin Daiyu came out, she was taken aback for a while, Xuanming changed into the eunuch's clothes, and a person who was very similar in height and appearance to Xuanming was wearing Xuanming's clothes Dragon Robe, if you are not careful, you will not be able to tell that the inner eunuch is not Xuanming!

Just listen to Xuan Ming ordering the inner eunuch to say: "Go to the Ouxiang Hall to meet the noble concubine and spend the night." After saying that, he handed the inner eunuch an imperial edict.The inner eunuch led the palace servants to leave.

Xuan Ming turned around and looked at the dazed Lin Daiyu, secretly sighed in his heart that even though Lin Daiyu was wearing the clothes of the inner prisoner, she was still clean and beautiful, and her beauty was beyond the reach of ordinary women.Xuanming said: "Let's go, let's go to Xingxiu Palace, I have a lot to say to you today."

The Xingxiu Palace was originally the Xingxiu Department in the old days. Later, the late emperor deposed the XingXiu Department and transformed the XingXiu Department into the XingXiu Palace.The Xingxiu Palace has never been inhabited, and the late emperor would go stargazing late at night when he was upset.

The Constellation Palace is located on the northernmost hilltop of the Imperial Palace, in order to keep away from the candlelight at night and avoid the effect of the lights from affecting stargazing.Therefore, it takes a long time to walk from the Palace of Mental Cultivation to the Palace of Xingxiu. Xuanming grew up in the palace, so he knew that there was a path leading to the Palace of Xingxiu, so he took Lin Daiyu along the path that was not illuminated by candles.

Xuan Ming walked in front, Lin Daiyu followed behind, without saying a word for a long time.Xuan Ming suddenly stopped and turned around, Lin Daiyu, who was only walking with her head bowed, bumped into Xuan Ming's arms inadvertently.Lin Daiyu blushed, and was about to kneel down to apologize, but she was pulled into Xuan Ming's arms, Lin Daiyu couldn't break free with her tall figure and strong arms.At this time, Lin Daiyu could smell Xuanming's breath, as well as the temperature of his chest, all of which were not like the smell that a cold and heartless person would emit.For a while, Lin Daiyu didn't know what to do, so she could only maintain this posture stiffly. After a while, Xuan Mingfang let go of Lin Daiyu in her arms, but the big hand grabbed Lin Daiyu's small hand. Lin Daiyu couldn't break free, and could only Let him pull and continue to move forward.Xuanming said to himself, "The road ahead is paved with small stones. If no one walks for a long time, there may be moss. Be careful when slipping."

Lin Daiyu just blushed and agreed.

Xuan Ming said again: "Although I have married several women, I have not actually married any of them."

Lin Daiyu's face became even hotter, and she guessed a little bit why Xuanming would explain this to herself, and she remained silent.

Xuanming continued: "Before I met you, I was really obsessed with power. Because in my world, it seems that only power can arouse my feelings. But now, I am sitting on the world, and I have more feelings in my heart. In addition to the responsibility of governing the world, the position of the dragon chair does not seem to be so important. Sometimes I even think that if I live in the pastoral life, men farm and women weave, it is better than working day and night in this palace, taking on the responsibility of the world. Life and death are good. Lin Daiyu, can you understand what I feel in my heart?"

Lin Daiyu listened carefully to Xuan Ming's narration, and replied: "Daiyu understands, but the emperor is already sitting on the dragon chair, and he is doomed to face the safety of the people in the world, and the disputes between the court and the harem."

Hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Xuanming held Lin Daiyu's weak and boneless little hand even harder, stopped and stood opposite Lin Daiyu, the moonlight slanted down from the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, outlining Xuanming's tallness and Lin Daiyu's graceful lines.The breeze blew, and the sweet-scented osmanthus fell like snow around Xuanming and Lin Daiyu.
