These people had caused quite a bit of trouble when Long Heng was' dead '. They were so close to beating up a widow like her.
They were still putting on a show of familial love in front of her. What a joke.
"Who are you putting on this show for? Don't you find it disgusting?"
Bai Xiangxiu snorted and glared at Long Heng.
"You just have to give them face. You don't have to pay too much attention to them."
"But they came here to give face to Uncle Li Of Gojoseon and his brother, so they have to act like an uncle.
When you passed away, they bullied me a lot. At that time, I was pregnant and had to protect the family business while fighting with them. I was so angry that I almost died.
Later, when you were alive, they became more well-behaved. They changed their attitude and asked to see me. They did give me gifts, but they kept complaining about how poor they were. "
Long Heng smiled and said, "I don't believe that you will be taken advantage of."
This wife of his was so stingy. She only took things in and not out.
If they wanted to make her spend a lot of money, it really depended on who they were!
"Don't be angry. Go to the front after you've rested. Tonight …"
"Tonight what? I don't have any scenes tonight. I'm so tired."
Long Heng was stunned at first, then his face turned red. He said, "I wanted to go to the palace with you tonight, but now I suddenly don't want to …"
"Uh, go to the palace!"
Bai Xiangxiu also blushed. She was really too impure.
"It's fine if you don't go. It's not a big deal."
"I'll go. Why wouldn't I go?"
Bai Xiangxiu stood up and walked out in a panic. In the end, she almost fell.
She secretly despised herself in her heart. She had already given birth to three children. Why was she still so easily embarrassed?
Long Heng couldn't help but twitch as he watched her dashing figure. She must be his mother, right? Why was she still so cute like a young and inexperienced girl?
She didn't look mature, but he liked it.
But he didn't know that it was because of him that Bai Xiangxiu became like this.
If a woman was spoiled by her man, her mental age would forever stop at 12 or 13 years old in front of him, or even lower.
Bai Xiangxiu was in this situation, so in Long Heng's heart, she would probably still be a little girl even if she was eighty years old.
Li Of Gojoseon's mansion was peaceful and lively, but the Emperor's harem was filled with gloomy clouds.
Although the Little Princess's poison had been cured, her health was not good. The Empress, on the other hand, had fallen ill due to excessive worry.
Although the Emperor's health was better, he felt as if there was a stone pressing down on his heart, and he couldn't lift it up no matter what.
At this moment, he knew that Long Heng was going to move his family to Ning City.
Was he planning to run away and hide?
Prince Rong, the current Emperor, finally lost his composure.
Oh, the late Emperor and his woman offended you, so you instigated others to rebel. You instigated others to trick the late Emperor into personally leading the army. In the end, you forced him to ascend the throne, and he wants to go to the side and relax?
How was this possible?
Thus, he discussed it with his empress overnight, and then secretly wrote an imperial edict.
One day, Long Heng swaggered to court, thinking that in a few days, he would be able to bring his family to Ning City. He would teach his son how to ride a horse while teaching his daughter martial arts. That little girl's body was too weak, so he had to take care of her. He had even given her a nickname, Third Girl.
His dream was very rich, but the reality was very frightening.
The Emperor, who was coughing as he climbed onto the dragon throne, didn't look too good. He didn't have the strength to speak while sitting there.
He stretched out his hand to have everyone rise, then weakly said, "My beloved subjects, please rise. Since becoming the Emperor, we have been trembling with fear. We believe that we were not born with the mandate of the Emperor, so we are afraid that we will let you down."
"Your Majesty, we are afraid."
"Although we have a few good-for-nothing sons, the oldest is only 12 years old.
The late Emperor's son is only 10 years old. He is too young to take on this great responsibility, so we have decided to follow the example of the ancient Emperors and give the throne to a virtuous person. Does anyone have any objections? "
Yes, yes, yes. You can give the throne, but who you give it to is a big problem.
"Announce the imperial edict."
The Emperor finally had the courage for once. He didn't wait for the people to ask, and didn't wait for Long Heng to speak. He unfolded the imperial edict.
After a series of praises, it was finally written that the Emperor would give the throne to Long Heng, the general who quelled the enemy's chaos and protected the country.
This news made everyone stunned. Long Heng directly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you can't, this is not in accordance with the rules."
This was his sincere kneeling. Obviously, he promised his little wife that he wouldn't be the Emperor, but just a virtuous Prince.
Who knew that there would be an additional Emperor's throne inexplicably? Was this the rhythm of a fire in the backyard?
"My beloved subject Long, if you don't take the throne, who else here has the qualification?"
The Emperor emphasized the qualification, then raised his face to look at the group of people kneeling below.
Which one of them would be able to subdue Long Heng?
He was afraid that no one would dare to take him out alone.
Because of this, he made this decision because no one dared to disagree. They couldn't afford to offend him.
They dared to offend him. There were tens of thousands of troops in the capital, and hundreds of thousands in Ning City.
Even he, the Emperor, didn't dare to offend the man who held the military power of the country. Since he didn't dare to offend him, why would he still sit on the throne? It was better to give it up and have peace of mind.
Long Heng didn't want to take it, but the imperial edict was issued, and the ministers were silent. No one jumped out to oppose it. They only said that the Emperor should think twice.
He thought three times and four times before he made this decision. Even if you asked him to think again, he wouldn't consider it!
Therefore, Bai Xiangxiu, who was playing with her child at home and packing things, didn't know that she had inexplicably become the Empress.
Because no one knew what happened in the imperial court, and the Emperor deliberately concealed it, there was no news at all.
While coaxing her child, Bai Xiangxiu thought, today's morning court was really slow. Usually, he would have come back by now.
Could it be that the Emperor had something for him to do after court? Why didn't he send someone to pass on a message? She was still waiting for him to eat breakfast!
Seeing that it was getting late, her stomach was growling. She was about to let Xiao Shi set the table for her to eat first. Who knew that a group of palace maids and eunuchs would suddenly come, and they even came with music.
Bai Xiangxiu was startled. Even the two children who were crying on the side were startled. Why had a group of people suddenly appeared? How colorful!
"You are …"
"This servant, this servant, greets the Empress. May the Empress have good fortune and peace."
Everyone said the same thing. Bai Xiangxiu was confused.
"Please rise. Did you call me the wrong way?"
Where did the Empress come from? Were they used to calling her that in the palace, so they came here to call her that?
She was the Wang Fei, not the Empress. If they called her the wrong way, they would be beheaded.
But these people didn't listen to her at all. A row of beautiful palace maids came out of their own accord, holding trays in their hands.
On the trays were beautiful phoenix coronets and cloaks, but they were bright yellow and embroidered with flying phoenixes.
No matter how she looked at them, they were the Empress' clothes, right?
This time, Bai Xiangxiu was even more confused. She reached out and picked up a child to calm her down, but she found that her little daughter had the same expression as her, staring blankly at the group of people.
