Soon, it was the day when Ling Xiao was canonized.
The emperor sent Ling Xiao a dress long ago, as well as many rare treasures. People in the palace said that the emperor sent all the rare things in the palace to Ling Xiao.
Many of them said this with the intention of flattering Ling Xiao, but the emperor did treat Ling Xiao with unprecedented kindness.
Ling Xiao could also feel that the emperor liked to come to him very much.
After returning to the palace for so many days, the emperor stayed in Ling Xiao's palace almost all the time except when he was dealing with government affairs, and was with Ling Xiao.
He even moved his usual utensils into Ling Xiao's palace one by one, as if he intended to live here for a long time.
This day is a big day to be canonized as an emperor, as today's protagonist, Ling Xiao was scooped up by the maids early in the morning.
After being washed up in a daze and fed a few mouthfuls of porridge, Ling Xiao was put on a heavy dress and pushed into the sedan chair.
In this world, men are superior to women.
Because of this, the canonization ceremony of the male concubine of the Mu Kingdom is much more grand than that of a female concubine.
If a man is favored by the emperor and canonized as a concubine by the emperor, regardless of his rank, there will be a canonization ceremony.
The canonization ceremony must be witnessed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. The emperor will give the male concubine part of the right to assist the government during the ceremony.
This right is dispensable, big or small, depending on the emperor's own wishes.
It is impossible for women to obtain the right to assist the government. Even the queen can only manage the harem and cannot interfere with the government.
The specialness and difference of the male concubine made the king of the Mu country very cautious in conferring a male concubine.
Even if many men are favored by the king, it is difficult for them to be concubines all their lives. Most of them stay in the palace as male favorites and serve the emperor exclusively. They are called "Xianggong".
Ling Xiao's current title - 'Emperor', is actually similar to that of an imperial concubine.
In a palace without a queen, he is considered the biggest.
But even if he is the largest, as long as the authority to manage the harem is in the hands of Concubine Xian, he will still fall behind Concubine Xian.
However, in the eyes of others, this is already the emperor's all-encompassing favor to him.
Ling Xiao himself was still an eunuch at the time, and when he heard that the emperor could make himself an emperor, he also had a look of astonishment.
He couldn't believe that the emperor would make himself a concubine.
Later, Ling Xiao understood.
Although the emperor made himself a concubine, the emperor would not let him have any rights in his hands.
The emperor actually held himself in the palm of his hand and pampered him, not letting himself out of his control.
From this, Ling Xiao knew.
No matter how grand this canonization ceremony is, the emperor will not grant himself the right.
Thinking this way, Ling Xiao became a little careless about this canonization.
But it's just a false name.
When we got to the scene, all the officials were there.
The emperor sat on the gold-plated dragon chair in the center of the Golden Luan Hall, dressed in a golden dragon robe, and awe-inspiring in all directions. Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood on the left and right, leaving an empty path in the middle, covered with a luxurious red carpet.
Ling Xiao was assisted to walk in, and all court civil and military officials knelt down, respectfully and loyally shouting "Your Majesty, thousand years old!"
That posture completely awakened Ling Xiao from the daze of just getting up.
He widened his eyes in surprise, scanned his surroundings, and found that he didn't know most of the officials, and the only one he knew was Lan Wei.
Looking around in silence, Ling Xiao stepped on the gorgeous red carpet and walked towards the emperor carefully step by step.
He was wearing a red dress today, which was wrapped in three or four layers.
The outermost layer is a floor-length bright red shawl, embroidered with auspicious clouds, which is at least two meters long behind it, with gold thread borders rolled on the side.
The inside is a gorgeous bright red men's skirt, which is long on the inside and short on the outside, wrapped in two layers.
The hem of the skirt looked very layered, and it seemed that Ling Xiao's figure was quite slender.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and watched Ling Xiao approaching intently. He usually loved plain clothes, but now he was dressed in bright red, which was very flamboyant.
Yanhong outlined his brows and frowned lightly, making him a bit coquettish.
The emperor's gaze deepened, and he saw Ling Xiao kneeling in the golden palace, saluted himself, and shouted "Long live"
The voice was slightly hoarse and very sexy. The emperor's eyes were heavy, and he waved his hand without moving his eyes to ask the eunuch next to him to read out the edict that had been drawn up.
"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Xiao Sheng of the Ling family is intelligent and quick, with excellent conduct, brilliant talent, both ability and political integrity, and wins my heart. After writing, he can be canonized as emperor, especially considering his talents. Its right to listen to the government and assist the government, Liu Qing, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, listened to his orders. Announced to the world, and the salty envoys heard about it."
Minister of the Ministry of Industry
Ling Xiao raised his head in astonishment, facing the emperor's deep double pupils, Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat, he quickly lowered his head, knelt down on the ground, and respectfully raised his hands to receive the order.
"Ling Xiao thanked the emperor Long En, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
When the imperial edict solemnly fell into his hands, Ling Xiao jumped in shock, as if it was a hot potato, holding it for some reason.
"Get up." The emperor said.
Ling Xiao stood up, looked at the emperor, and saw the emperor waving towards him.
"come over."
"..." Ling Xiao obediently held the edict, walked up the stairs step by step, and walked in front of the emperor.
The emperor stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, glanced at all the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, this is my only emperor, and also my minister of the Ministry of Industry, you will treat him as well as me , but I can hear you clearly."
"this… "
As soon as these words came out, the court was in chaos.
Treating the emperor and the emperor together was unprecedented in the Mu country, and the emperor took the emperor too seriously.
Some old ministers were already open to speak in the court.
The emperor squinted his eyes and opened his mouth to dispel their thoughts.
"I said this just to inform you, not to discuss with you."
"..." The court hall was silent, the emperor raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, and led Ling Xiao to sit on the dragon chair.
The gold-plated dragon chair is wide and cushioned, making it very comfortable to sit on.
But Ling Xiao felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
The emperor is too abnormal today.
He held power so tightly and controlled the overall situation so well, how could he let himself, a person of unknown origin, become a court official, even equal to him...
Ling Xiao frowned, listening to the words of the emperor and officials with a forced smile, his thoughts had already flown far away.
On the night of canonization, the emperor held a grand banquet in the imperial garden.
As the protagonist, Ling Xiao must be there.
For the banquet at night, besides the officials of the dynasty, the emperor also invited Fu Yujun and others, intentionally or not...
At this time, Fu Yujun was sitting below.
And Ling Xiao was sitting beside the emperor, with the emperor hugging him.
Ling Xiao looked at him nonchalantly, and found that he was a lot haggard. Although his face had been corrected, his face was pale and his cheeks were sunken. It could be seen that he hadn't had a good time these days.
As soon as he thought about it like this, he felt a pain in his hand, Ling Xiao looked back painfully, and found that it was the emperor looking at him displeased.
Ling Xiao swallowed, struggled slightly and resisted: "Your Majesty, you hurt me."
"..." The Emperor let go, pulled Ling Xiao closer, and made Ling Xiao get closer to him, saying: "You were just looking at... where?"
"Do you still remember what I told you? I am your man."
Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then he understood, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty, are you jealous?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows, and he did not let go of Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao pursed his lips, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Ling Xiao never had him in his heart from the beginning to the end."
Ling Xiao looked frankly, and when he was speaking, his eyes were directly facing the emperor, and he didn't dodge at all.
The emperor blinked slightly, and after a while, he let go of Ling Xiao, as if he had listened to Ling Xiao's words in his heart.
Ling Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, not daring to look at Fu Yujun again.
The banquet lasted until very late, Ling Xiao was tired all day and couldn't bear it any longer, so he asked the emperor to resign, and the emperor asked Xiao Lizi to accompany Ling Xiao back first.
Ling Xiao exited quietly.
However, on the way, he was stopped by Fu Yujun.
"Ling Xiao."
Fu Yujun called Ling Xiao with joy in his tone.
Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and frowned uncontrollably.
At this time, his status is not good enough to meet Fu Yujun.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Lizi called Ling Xiao from behind like a warning.
Ling Xiao looked at Little Lizi, then at Fu Yujun who was running towards him, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and went up to him.
"Emperor?" Xiao Lizi frowned, flicked his whisk, and followed with a sad face.
"Ling Xiao." Fu Yujun looked at Ling Xiao who was walking in front of him, his eyes were full of tenderness and lingering.
Ling Xiao paused slightly, took a step back and said, "Call me the emperor, Shao Guojun."
"..." Fu Yujun smiled wryly: "Are you mocking me? You don't know how I got here as a monarch."
"No matter how you became the monarch, you are the monarch, and you are the monarch, and you have responsibilities on your shoulders. Fu Yujun, you shouldn't come to see me." Ling Xiao said with a frown.
Fu Yujun frowned in pain: "I know, but I can't control it."
Ling Xiao blinked, his heart was very complicated.
"Ling Xiao, I..."
"Okay." Ling Xiao interrupted Fu Yujun, preventing him from saying more words that could not control the situation.
The interrupted Fu Yujun stood in front of Ling Xiao with a look of bewilderment. Ling Xiao didn't want to ignore him and left directly, but he felt a little soft-hearted when he saw this.
He added a word: "Fu Yujun, from the beginning to the end, I only regarded you as a brother. Really, don't have any more emotions that will destroy our brotherhood. That is something you can't afford, and I don't want it." , don't make things difficult for me."
"..."
Unable to bear to see the desolate expression on Fu Yujun's face, Ling Xiao took Xiao Lizi and left.
"Little Lizi." After walking a certain distance, Ling Xiao stopped and called Xiao Lizi behind him.
Xiao Lizi obeyed the order and stepped forward, respectfully waiting in front of Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao sneered and said: "I know you will tell the emperor what you saw and heard just now, I want to remind you that you will tell the emperor verbatim at the end, if I know that what you said is wrong, I will add more details..."
Ling Xiao approached Xiao Lizi's ear threateningly: "...then you know my wrist."
Xiao Lizi broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "Little Lizi understands, understands..."
"What's the matter?" Ling Xiao was about to teach Xiao Li another lesson when a gentle voice suddenly came from beside him.
Ling Xiao turned his head and saw a man in official uniform.
With a gentle smile, the man leaned lazily against the wall, his long hair was loosely scattered behind, and the broken hair in front was only tied with a hair rope behind his back.
It is clearly a slovenly dress, but it will not make the man look sloppy, it will only show his casualness and chicness.
The man's appearance is three points like the emperor's, and he is handsome with a little bit of vicissitudes that the emperor never had, which is very eye-catching.
Ling Xiao looked at him intently, feeling a little surprised in his heart.
He knew this person, it should be said that he knew this person in his previous life.
This person is the emperor's uncle, Prince Xiao - Mu Xiuning.
In her previous life, she also liked Mo Qi.
After Mo Qi became a concubine, she met Mo Qi for a few times and fell in love with her.
In this life, before he had time to meet Mo Qi, Mo Qi had already fallen. Ling Xiao thought that this person would never have any contact with him again, but who knows, he came out again at this time...
"Go down first." Mu Xiuning said to Xiao Lizi.
Little Lizi was so frightened by Ling Xiao that he couldn't figure it out. At this moment, someone helped him, so he got up quickly and ran away.
"..." Ling Xiao looked at Xiao Lizi's scrambling back, expressing that he was speechless.
Mu Xiuning chuckled lightly: "Look at you, how frightened people are."
He said, with a gentle tone that cannot be ignored, like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze in the bottom of the heart, and soothing the anxious heart.
