Qin Yining was immersed in the joy of reunion. He kept chatting with the Sun Clan all the way, so he didn't notice that the Sun Clan was a little hesitant.
The group of people returned to the inner residence. Naturally, the elders went to see Brother Xuan and Sister Yun happily first. Madam Ma liked them very much. Madam Zheng and the Sun Clan teased the children together.
Yao Clan stood outside the crowd with her hands crossed. She just stretched her neck and looked curiously at them. Then she turned back and pulled Pang Xiao aside to talk.
"Son, I heard that you were fighting with the Tatars. I was so anxious. Your grandparents were so worried that they couldn't sleep and eat all day. Now you won the battle and the emperor committed suicide. Who has the final say in the world? Can you … "
"Madam Dowager." Pang Xiao interrupted Yao Clan and said with a smile, "You are tired. Don't worry about these trivial things."
Hearing this, Yao Clan's face changed immediately. She couldn't help raising her voice, "I haven't seen you for so long. You still don't want to call me mother? Can't you figure out who is the closest person to you after such a long time? "
"Madam Dowager, you must be joking. We are such a rich family and you have a noble status. We don't want to call you mother. Look at other rich families. Which one of them doesn't call you mother according to your status? You are Madam Dowager. "She looked at Yao Chenggu who frowned," You are Old Master. My grandmother is Madam Dowager. But my grandmother is free and easy. She has never cared about status. Naturally, I still call her grandmother. "
"I don't care!" Yao Clan shouted.
Pang Xiao looked at her in confusion, "You don't care? Really? "
Yao Clan thought of her complacency on the way back to the capital. If Pang Xiao usurped the power of Li Qitian, she would be the Empress Dowager! At that time, she would be rich and noble. She would have the final say in the harem. Wouldn't she wake up from her dream with a smile?
Now facing Pang Xiao's suspicious eyes, Yao Clan couldn't say that she didn't care. She knew her son too well. Pang Xiao was not a person who could be fooled. If she lied, it would only deepen her son's hatred of her.
Yao shi only turned around and said: "Alright, alright, alright, whatever you say. Is that okay? "
Her tone was full of tolerance for ignorant children.. com
Pang Xiao smiled and didn't talk with the Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu anymore..
Yao shi held her breath, but she was also afraid that others would see her embarrassed state and lose face. She could only suppress her anger and complain to Yao Cheng Gu in a low voice: "Father, look at what he's like. He's only thinking about outsiders. He doesn't even know who his mother is. I don't know what that little vixen of the Qin Clan said to him. "
Yao Chenggu frowned and reprimanded, "You still don't know how to restrain yourself? It doesn't matter if the Qin Clan is right or wrong. Dai Fu likes her. She did give birth to children. But Zhao Ge 'er and Han Ge' er are suspicious. Xuan Ge 'er is your grandson, and Yun Ge' er is your granddaughter. " He lowered his voice and said, "Don't forget. If Dai Fu can become the Emperor, she will be the Empress!"
"So what? So what if she is the Empress? When Dai Fu becomes the Emperor, will he only like her? She will be old and withered, right? Besides, Dai Fu can have many Empresses and concubines, but I am the only Empress Dowager. "
"Is that so?" Yao Chenggu sneered, "Then wait and see. There is only one Empress Dowager. But the Empress Dowager and the concubines are the same. You can have them all."
Yao Clan's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Yao Chenggu in disbelief and whispered, "Father, it can't be …"
"You little girl. If you don't believe me, just wait and see." Yao Chenggu flung his sleeves and turned to sit down.
Yao Clan's heart was nervous. Happiness was in front of her. She couldn't miss it just because she didn't like the Qin Clan.
Anyway, there was still a long way to go. As long as she could stand firm, so what if she was the Empress? She still had to respect her mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Yao Clan's heart was filled with anticipation that Pang Xiao could become the Emperor.
However, something that disappointed her happened very quickly.
After coming out of the desert, the Yao Clan put on airs and didn't interact much with the people below. Therefore, Yao Clan had no idea about the changes in the court.
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Prince Zhou Lian of Bei Ji ascended the throne and announced to the world that the country was still called Bei Ji and the era was called "New Beginning."
Da Zhou, who had been powerful for ten years, was just a flash in the pan in history.
After the new Emperor ascended the throne, he pardoned the people and rewarded them.
Li Qitian, who was imprisoned in a secret room in the palace, found out that the new Emperor was Zhou Lian. He stared blankly for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.
Pang Zhixi didn't want to be the Emperor himself?
This wasn't in line with his style at all!
But he was a "madman" now. A madman wouldn't care about these things.
Li Qitian was full of doubts but couldn't show it. He lost weight in a few days.
Like Li Qitian, the Yao Clan also lost weight.
Originally, she came with a happy heart. She only thought that she was going to be the Empress Dowager. In the future, she would be the most honorable woman in the world. She could forget about the suffering she suffered in the early years because she had enough to make all the women envious.
But now, the duck in her mouth flew away!
Even if she was Wang Ye's mother, how could it be more honorable than being the Empress Dowager?
The Yao Clan didn't eat for a few days. When she saw Qin Yining playing with the children and heard them laughing and playing, she panicked. Naturally, she didn't have a good expression.
Madam Ma didn't care about this. She saw the Yao Clan's gloomy faces several times and directly scolded them away, "If you're unhappy, don't come out and be an eyesore. Go back and lie down."
The Yao Clan was really afraid of Madam Ma's slaps and soles, so they could only go back.
The subtle atmosphere in the family lasted until the twenty-first of the twelfth lunar month.
No one expected that the new emperor, who had just ascended the throne for ten days, would announce to the world that he was going to abdicate Prince Zhongshun before the end of the year.
At the imperial court meeting, Prince Zhongshun repeatedly refused, but the immature new emperor said bluntly, "I don't have this ability. I can't do anything for the people of Beiji. If I force myself to sit in this position, I will slowly become an incapable ruler like the two former emperors. I don't want things to become like that. The people have been tormented for nearly twenty years. Someone should give them a peaceful and prosperous era. "
His words caused all the officials to fall silent.
No matter what the people thought, no one in the imperial court objected. More than half of the officials even knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty is devoted to the people. Your Majesty is wise."
"Prince Zhongshun has worked hard and made great contributions. His talent is outstanding. We agree."
Sitting upright on the Dragon Throne, Lian Xiaocong secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She felt relaxed as if she had finally thrown away a hot potato. She immediately handed over the country to Pang Xiao without any hesitation. She personally issued a decree that the Great Hall of Abdication and the Empress Coronation Ceremony would be held tomorrow.
This was a delicate time. There were only ten days left until the new year. According to the old customs, the new emperor had to use the former emperor's reign name when he ascended the throne. He could only change it to a new reign name after the new year. In other words, Pang Xiao didn't have to wait for a long year. After ten days, there would be a change of dynasty.
The news spread throughout the capital.
The new emperor said that he didn't have the talent to rule the country. For the sake of the people, he abdicated the throne to the great hero in the hearts of the people. Although it was unexpected, the people could accept it.
Qin Yining was taking an afternoon nap with the four children at home. Ji Yun quickly walked in. She didn't care about anything else and gently pushed Qin Yining awake. She lowered her voice and said excitedly, "Wang Fei, after the abdication ceremony tomorrow, it will be the coronation ceremony. Wang Ye ordered people to come to the fu to bring the entire family into the palace."
Qin Yining stilled and slowly sat up. A moment later, he smiled in relief.
