Chapter 300 Lu Chen Ascends the Throne

Middle palace.

Empress Zhou complained to Emperor Huilin: "You have given your Zen position to Chen'er, and you still keep this hand. The older you get, the more childish you are. Be careful, if Jin Niang has an emergency, Chen'er will be jealous of you." .”

Emperor Huilin said: "The fourth day of July selected by Qin Tianjian is an excellent day. I really didn't mean it."

"Chen'er won't believe you didn't do it on purpose!"

The Ceremony Department and the Qintian Supervisor had already planned the enthronement ceremony. The Shanggong Bureau had also been rushing to make the tapestry dragon robe half a month ago. Now they have received news that they have to rush to make a phoenix robe. The Ministry of Rites also needs to go through an additional process of sealing the queen. .

The Minister of Rites almost turned half of his head gray, "Your Highness, no, your new Majesty, isn't this just nonsense? The Queen is pregnant and is about to give birth. How can she be crowned Queen on the same day?"

The minister said from the side: "It shows His Majesty's deep love for the Queen. It's just one more process. It's not difficult."

The Shang Gong Bureau had already prepared the fabric for the phoenix robe, and the embroiderers in the Shang Gong Bureau had time to rush together to make it.

The three days passed very quickly.

Early in the morning, before dawn, everyone in Chang'an got up early. Officials stood on both sides of the ancestral temple, and the enthronement ceremony began with the playing of ritual music.

As soon as Qiao Jinniang woke up, she was put on a phoenix robe by the palace maids. Because she was really afraid of the heat, the 12-layer dress was reduced to six layers and she arrived in front of the Tai Chi Palace.

Lu Chen walked to her side, held Qiao Jinniang's hand and said, "If you feel sick to your stomach later, remember to tell me."

Qiao Jinniang nodded lightly.

The grand ceremony of enthroning and enthroning the queen is actually no easier than the wedding ceremony. It takes half a day to worship ancestors and announce the world in a long article.

After coming out of the ancestral temple, Qiao Jinniang was supposed to be separated from Lu Chen. Lu Chen went to the Taiji Hall to receive the ministers to pay homage to the new emperor, while she went to Changle Palace to pay homage to the concubines.

Lu Chen asked her to get on his dragon chair and drive her out. Although it was against the rules, no one dared to point out the flaws in the rules at this time.

His Majesty is happy to pamper him. If he comes out at this time, he is deliberately trying to embarrass himself.

When they arrived at the Taiji Palace, there were many clan officials on both sides, followed by the clan's married women. Qiao Jinniang followed Lu Chen to the dragon chair. At a glance, she felt that it was too cold in the high place. Thousands of people were kneeling in front of her. The person's feet.

Shouting long live your majesty, a thousand lives my empress.

This scene was unforgettable for Qiao Jinniang.

"hiss!"

Suddenly a burst of pain hit her, and Qiao Jinniang took a breath of cold air.

After Lu Chen let the ministers stand up, he hurriedly sent Qiao Jinniang back to the East Palace.

Originally, the palace should have been moved to Changle Palace, but preparations for the birth were all done in the East Palace.

When I gave birth for the first time, there was not such a big battle. At that time, I relied on a few cooks and aunts to stabilize and help.

When Xi'er was born, Lu Chen was in the delivery room, but Mrs. Wen realized it later and kicked him out.

Fortunately, Xi'er was sensible and didn't bother her for long. Qiao Jinniang held Lu Chen's hand in unbearable pain and said, "If I have a difficult delivery, you must be kind to Xi'er and my daughter..."

Lu Chen frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Didn't the imperial doctor say that your fetal position is correct? Don't think nonsense."

"Your Majesty, men should not be in the delivery room. Your Majesty, please go outside!"

Qiao Jinniang was sweating profusely and said to Lu Chen, "Get out."

Lu Chen kissed her gently on the forehead before leaving the palace.

After Lu Chen left, the doctor girl said to Qiao Jinniang: "Queen, Your Majesty is so kind to you. The little prince will be born safely."

Jin Niang bit the handkerchief beside her in pain, and did not forget to correct her: "It's the little princess."

Lu Chen was waiting outside, his palms were sweaty. Little Lu Xi on the side also cried when he heard the shouts inside. He threw himself into Lu Chen's arms and said, "I don't like my sister anymore."

"Sister makes mother feel so uncomfortable."

Lu Chen advised Lu Xi, "Xi'er, your mother felt the same pain when she gave birth to you. Because she loves you and your sister, she is willing to bear such pain."

Xiao Lu Xi said with red eyes, "Okay, then I also like my sister."

Qiao Jinniang's birth lasted for an extra long time this time. There was no news from inside in the evening, and Lu Chen's heart was in his throat.

The summer sunset was filled with flaming clouds, and the pink clouds seemed to have a golden edge. Finally, a loud cry came from inside the house.

The medical woman came out holding the infant baby and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a new little prince."

Little Lu Xi got down from Lu Chen's arms, ran over and said, "Isn't she my sister?"

The doctor girl smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's the little prince."

Lu Chen gently took the baby from the doctor woman's hands and said with a slight smile: "Thank you."

Little Lu Xi wanted to go inside to see Jin Niang, but was stopped by the palace servants. Lu Chen said: "Don't worry so much, just get out of the way!"

Even though His Majesty has spoken, the maids dare not really stop him.

Lying on the bed, Qiao Jinniang was so depleted of energy and blood that she was sweating profusely. She shed tears when she saw Lu Chen, "Not my daughter."

Lu Chen held the child in his arms and said, "Is it possible that you don't like your son?"

Qiao Jinniang said: "No, I like it. I just want it to be my daughter. The clothes I got my name from are all for my daughter. Come on, show me..."

Lu Chen carried the child to Qiao Jinniang and said, "He looks exactly like Xi'er when he was born."

Qiao Jinniang stretched out her hand and gently stroked the baby's little face, and said weakly: "Yes, you and I were in a hurry when Xi'er was born. Not many people in Baiweilou dared to hold him."

When Xi'er was born, Qiao Jinniang was only seventeen years old, and Lu Chen was only eighteen.

Star Anise, Nuomi and others were not very old either. Qiao Jinniang was afraid of throwing the soft and waxy baby. Later, she saw that he was getting older and cuter, so she hugged him all the time without fear of falling.

Lu Chen saw that she was really weak and said, "You should have a good rest. Just leave the baby to the wet nurse to take care of her."

"Let me look at him a few more times. Maybe I can think of his name in my dream."

Lu Chen said: "What do you think of Lu Ang? Ang has a solemn meaning, just like his cry..."

Jinniang thought about it and said, "Ang'er, Ang'er sounds good..."

As she said that, she closed her eyes tightly. She was indeed tired today.

The new emperor ascended the throne and gave birth to a second prince, and the whole world celebrated the amnesty. Many family members of officials who had been implicated in the past also received amnesty.

When he went to court the next day, some ministers presented a memorial saying: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there is only one Queen in the Sixth Palace. Please elect your concubines as soon as possible to fill the Sixth Palace, spread branches and leaves for the royal family, and stabilize the foundation of our dynasty."

For a time, there were many ministers who seconded the proposal.

Lu Chen glanced at the ministers below and said, "When I ascend the throne, I will put national affairs first."

"Your Majesty, it is also a matter of state to expand the branches of the royal family. Your Majesty only has two sons... It is better to establish concubines as early as possible to increase the number of heirs, otherwise the country and the country will not be stable."

Lu Chen twirled the jade ring in his hand and said, "How can I be unstable if I have two legitimate sons?

The stability of the country should be based on the harmony of the people, not the recruitment of a harem.

I will only have one queen as my wife in this life, and I will no longer have concubines. "
