Chapter 173 Xiao 7 Gives Birth to a Child
He waved his hand and said, "My lords, please stand up. I have always wanted to live a carefree life, but the late emperor has abandoned the country, and I cannot ignore him.
From now on, you should do your best as you have done before.
If you have made contributions, I will reward you accordingly. If you have made mistakes, I will punish you severely.
The late emperor will depart tomorrow and be buried in the imperial mausoleum. If there is anything to report, please report it. If not, please withdraw the court."
The court began to discuss state affairs...
Those ministers did not think there was anything wrong with it. No matter who became the emperor, it would not be their turn, so they should just focus on their work.
Leng Xiaoran was sent to the imperial mausoleum, and the women who had been favored by him in the harem were all sent to the royal temple, often to accompany the green lamps and ancient Buddhas.
The next day, the resounding sound of bells and drums shattered the tranquility of the imperial city. The new emperor, Leng Jiuyuan, wore a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with nine five-clawed golden dragons, appearing noble and majestic. His steps were even, each one firm and composed.
The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world.
In front of the main hall, a red carpet was laid and flags were fluttering.
Civil and military officials were dressed in court robes, lined up in neat rows, and looked solemn and dignified.
The auspicious hour had arrived, and drums and music filled the air. The new emperor wore a dragon robe, a crown of red gold on his head, and twelve tassels of white jade beads obscuring his face.
His face was solemn and his eyes were firm, revealing an air of majesty.
Leng Jiuyuan sat on the Nine Dragon Throne, and the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor". The sound resounded through the sky and echoed in the palace.
The new emperor raised his hand to signal his ministers to stand, and said: I will work hard to govern the country and create a prosperous era.
He will put the people first, implement benevolent policies, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, resist foreign enemies, and maintain the security of Dong Qin.
The ministers knelt again and shouted: "Long live your Majesty! We will be loyal to you."
Leng Jiuyuan declared boldly: "My dear ministers, as long as the ruler and his subjects are of one mind and work together, we will surely make Dong Qin prosperous. In three days, we will offer sacrifices to our ancestors at the Taimiao."
Ye Qingyan was very happy that she actually married the emperor.
The people in the Regent's Palace began to clean up the yard as they were going to follow the emperor into the palace.
Ye Qingyan came to her grandfather's house, and the nameless master was playing chess with her grandfather.
"Grandpa, old man, we will move into the palace tomorrow."
Grandpa Ye waved his hands quickly: "I, an old man, won't go. There are so many rules in the palace. It's so good here. I can go out whenever I want.
I live here, it's your mother's home. If you have time, come back and visit us. I won't go to the palace."
Ye Qingyan shifted her gaze to the nameless ancestor again: "Old man, please follow me into the palace."
The Nameless Patriarch waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't go either, old man. I'll just play chess with your grandfather here and have a drink. That would be such a wonderful day."
Ye Qingyan shook her head helplessly, "I asked you to go with me into the palace, but you refused.
Now we are entering the palace, and you still don’t go, I really can’t do anything to you.”
Grandpa Ye put down the chess piece in his hand and said, "Yan Yan, Grandpa knows what you mean.
We two old men are really doing well here. We have food and drink, and we can go out and play whenever we want. You can live in the palace and don't worry about us."
Ye Qingyan took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the table. "Take these banknotes, you two elders. They will be enough for you to use for a while."
Grandpa Ye quickly refused: "Yan Yan, we still have a stack of money from what you gave us last time, hundreds of thousands of taels, we can't spend it all."
Ye Qingyan has always been generous to these two old men. "Take these."
"..."
Royal Palace
Leng Jiuyuan came to Ye Qingyan and said, "Queen, Zixia Palace is the best palace. It is very close to my bedroom."
Ye Qingyan teased, "Jiuyuan, now that you're the emperor, do you have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy concubines?"
Leng Jiuyuan laughed out loud: "Look, when I was a prince, I said that as long as you take a concubine, I will give all the properties of the palace to you.
Now that I have become the emperor, if I were to choose a concubine, I would have to give all the national treasury to you, and then my reign as emperor would be over.
At the beginning, I promised you that we would be together for the rest of our lives, and I will keep it until death."
Ye Qingyan smiled. Leng Jiuyuan had not changed. He was still the same as before after becoming emperor.
…………
After Leng Xiaoran's death, Queen Mother Chu seemed to have aged a lot. She knew that the emperor's death was not that simple, and even suspected that it was Ye Qingyan's doing.
But then I thought, with Xiaoran's personality, he would not stop until he got rid of Lao Jiu, so I didn't continue to investigate.
She tended to the flowers and plants in the palace every day and occasionally took a walk in the imperial garden.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Qingyan's due date arrived, and she ordered people to call Feng Yi and Hua Ling'er over and said, "Ling'er, Feng Yi, I'm about to give birth. Please be prepared. I have two babies in my belly, and you need to perform a caesarean section on me.
Everyone started to prepare again.
Leng Jiuyuan arrived, "Xiao Qi, how are you now?"
"I'm about to give birth. We'll go in right away. You stay outside the door."
When the Queen Mother heard the news, she also brought people over and sat in the courtyard, while two wet nurses waited outside.
Ye Qingyan brought Feng Yi and Feng Jiu and teleported into the space. She debugged the equipment.
She lay on the bed and Feng Yi gave her an anesthetic injection. When the time came, Feng Yi and Hua Ling'er cooperated to perform surgery on Ye Qingyan.
The silence of the operating room was broken by the cry of a baby.
"It's a boy!" Hua Ling'er said excitedly.
Then he carried out another one, "It's still a boy."
Ye Qingyan laughed after hearing this. As the emperor, Leng Jiuyuan must have a son, otherwise the throne will fall into the hands of others.
After the operation was completed, Ye Qingyan waved her hand and everyone left the space.
Feng Yi hurried out to open the door. She clasped her fists and said, "Congratulations to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Queen on giving birth to twins, both boys."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "A boy is good. Old Nine will have a successor."
After saying this, she walked into the house without anyone's help.
Ye Qingyan was lying on the bed. Seeing the Queen Mother coming, she said in a low voice, "Mother, I cannot greet you any longer."
The Queen Mother said happily, "Don't get up now, those are just empty formalities.
You have given birth to two grandchildren for me, and I will certainly reward you generously for your meritorious service."
She looked at the two babies in the nurse's arms, who looked like two chubby balls, and said, "Look, these two children look like Lao Jiu.
Xiaoqi, when these two children are older, send them to the Cining Palace to be raised, and I will take care of them personally."
"Then I have to thank you, Mother. I was just wondering who would help me look after the child."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Xiao Qi, you must have been exhausted after giving birth. You should rest first. I will come to see you again in a few days."
"See the Queen Mother off!" Ye Qingyan said, and Feng Yi walked out.
The nurse took the child away, and Leng Jiuyuan walked in: "Xiao Qi, thank you for giving birth to two sons for me. You are really my lucky star."
