the next day. The empress dowager’s decree came down, and the princess of Mingzhu was abolished and relegated to the side concubine. Gu Yalan is the new crown princess.
The canonization of the prince concubine is a major event and should be handed over to the Ministry of Rites to select auspicious days by the emperor's decree. But for two days after the decree came down, the Emperor Canghai didn't even mention the canonization. The officials had speculated a lot about the abolition of the Princess of Pearl, and now they are even talking about it.
The only point is that Emperor Canghai did not speak up, and no one took the initiative to bring up this matter, because everyone knew how fierce the battle for imperial power between the Empress Dowager and the ancestors and grandchildren of Canghai emperor and grandson was fierce, and how many officials were involved, beheaded, or ransacked into exile. I still have lingering fears when I get up.
The strength of the Empress Dowager and the forbearance of the Emperor Canghai are ready to go. Everyone standing below has a deep understanding. Except for King Beiyuan.
The Emperor Canghai looked at Xiao Beiyuan's consistent indifferent, and Ling Ao who only familiar people could find out of that indifferent. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze diverging to the others.
"About the canonization of the princess**..."
The courtiers lowered their heads slightly and looked at their toes without exception. The needle falling on the court is audible, highlighting the more majestic voice of Canghaihuang.
"The Ministry of Rites selects an auspicious day and will hold it again in the coming year."
What is this operation? Choosing an auspicious day, will it be postponed to next year
The Book of Etiquette naturally leads. When others saw his embarrassed expression, they would inevitably gloat in their hearts.
Gu Yalan moved to the Prince's Mansion the next day after Yi Zhi came down. The prince personally went to Shou'an Palace to greet him, which gave Gu Yalan a lot of face.
The empress dowager gave a lot of gifts, and Gu Yalan felt proud.
The prince and the empress dowager didn't have a deep relationship, so naturally they didn't want to stay longer, so they talked for a while before leaving.
"All of you go down, Yalan, you go choose some materials you like." This is to let her avoid. Gu Yalan was taken aback, then thanked him happily and walked out of the main hall.
There are only two people in the main hall, the prince and the empress dowager.
Facing an elderly woman, the prince still didn't dare to look directly into her eyes. He drew away in a flustered manner. He didn't know where to look, making him feel at a loss for a while.
I thought the Empress Dowager would reprimand, but she said with a smile: "When you grow up, you have your own ideas. It's just that you need to have enough strength before some ideas are implemented."
What do you mean? Zhou Yu is not clear
Bai looked straight at the Empress Dowager. This ancestor, who has played with power and applauded his entire life, has been extremely afraid since he was a child. Although he has no real power now, his position in Zhou Yu's heart is not affected in the least.
"Please make it clear from the ancestors."
He doesn't understand. It’s best if you don’t understand.
The wrinkles on the old man's face were a little deeper, and the smile and kindness were not close to each other, which made Zhou Yu feel like being calculated.
This may be due to nature, even if it is a straw bale, it is a straw bale with a higher starting point than a genius, and in some aspects it is inherently sensitive.
"You are the prince, so you should prepare earlier."
Zhou Yu was stunned. Is this temptation? still is... ...
He seemed to have dozens of giant drums in his heart, which made him confused and his heart beating wildly.
In the days of Emperor Canghaihuang, he, the prince, had always been ignored. In addition, he was beaten by Xiao Beiyuan a few days ago so decently that he had no face to stand above the court and face the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty. Therefore, Emperor Canghai did not object to the fact that he did not go to court. He also thought that it might be that the father used the hands of others to make him retreat automatically, and he even suspected that the father had moved to abolish his prince's thoughts.
"Old ancestors..."
"Yu'er, you are a dignified prince, you can't be depressed and decadent, let alone take the temporary success or failure to heart."
These words sounded in your ears. Zhou Yu finally showed joy and replied happily: "My ancestors taught me that religion."
"Well, it's good to know. The prince should learn a lot, so you have to earnestly let yourself master more as soon as possible! Do you understand what Ai Jia said?" The empress dowager Yin Yin taught, the look of expectation made Zhou Yu feel all over her body Full of energy.
What inspired him the most was nothing but one sentence: You are the prince!
Yes, he is the prince! Is the emperor of the future! So he must be strong!
Zhou Yu nodded heavily.
The empress dowager smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Gu Yalan may not be the best candidate, but she is still of great benefit to you, you can figure it out. As for Mingzhu, what should be done, take into account the attitude of the Ming family. Don’t make another strong enemy in North Korea."
This is even more straightforward. Zhou Yu felt that the Empress Dowager finally saw him. With her help, her strength would definitely be improved quickly.
"Old ancestor, Yuer
Be sure to follow your teachings. "
"Well, you know it."
"On the canonization ceremony, don't worry about it. Tolerance is the attitude that the prince should have." After speaking, he glanced outside and whispered: "Take good care of Gu Yalan!"
Zhou Yu nodded in response.
The palace man came in to report that the emperor had given a reward and asked the prince to return to the palace.
Zhou Yu kowtowed goodbye, the Empress Dowager was extremely pleased, and the Shou'an Palace was filled with warm atmosphere for a time.
Gu Yalan also came in to bid farewell, teary eyes. Regardless of whether she is sincere or acting, the empress dowager is a little moved. When I am old, I have feelings for the people around me, unlike when I was young, I didn't trust anyone and were on guard.
"The Empress Dowager, Yalan will come and wait for you every day." Gu Yalan is a talking and coaxing person.
The empress dowager was very useful, but she didn't agree, "What kind of decent is that. You are the princess, and you are no longer the maid of Ai's family. Don't lose your identity."
"Yes, I will follow the ancestors' teachings." The name changed suddenly, and the Queen Mother nodded, then stopped looking at the two, waved, and let them go.
Although there is no canonization**, the ceremony cannot be abandoned. Gu Yalan followed the prince Zhou Yu back to the house to receive the emperor's reward, and put on formal clothes to meet the queen.
Since the preparations for the imperial decree of the Ministry of Rites have just been issued, and the costumes that conform to the prince's court system have not yet begun to be produced, Gu Yalan only has to dress more formally, so as not to be blamed by the queen for having no rules.
The prince was afraid that she would be punished, and personally led Gu Yalan to see her mother.
The queen hadn't liked the Pearl before, and when she saw Gu Yalan, she could tell at a glance that Gu Yalan had a lot of motives, and she was not a good-natured master.
Looking at the smiling prince, he sighed inwardly. As a mother, if she chooses between Mingzhu and Gu Yalan, she would rather choose the former. As the queen, the mother of a country, and the future queen mother, she wisely told her that Gu Yalan in front of her was undoubtedly more suitable to be a princess.
"Get up. Seeing that you two are in harmony, my palace is relieved."
After seeing his mother, the prince seemed to like Gu Yalan very much, and the only worries in his heart disappeared.
Gu Yalan is good at this kind of scene, and won the queen's appreciation in a short time. The two stayed for an hour, got a big reward by the way, and returned contentedly.
