"Empress, please change your clothes and enter the Heavenly Hall."
"The emperor is waiting for the empress in the palace."
"Empress, this way please."
"Empress, please put the little princess down first."
"Empress …"
Bai Xiangxiu felt dizzy. She seemed to have guessed something because they called their daughter the little princess.
If they called her that, she might have thought that the emperor in the palace had gone crazy. But now, it seemed that the one who had gone crazy was Long Heng!
He, he, he, he actually became the emperor?
How was this possible? What happened to traveling freely in the frontier fortress? What happened to traveling long distances as a family?
After being forced to change, there were eunuchs and palace maids knocking outside. It turned out that they were about to set off for the palace.
Damn, she had become the most respected woman in the entire dynasty. She couldn't get used to it!
She waited until she entered the palace and entered the Heavenly Hall. Sure enough, there was someone waiting there.
It was Long Heng, who was already wearing a bright yellow robe.
She never thought that Long Heng would be so handsome in his dragon robe. He was aloof and majestic. He actually looked more like an emperor than the previous two emperors.
Alright, was this the rumored fate of being an emperor?
Bai Xiangxiu, who was still in a daze, was about to kowtow. Of course, this kowtow was accompanied by hesitation. Was she really going to leave him?
As the emperor, there was a beauty pageant every three years. There were countless beauties in the palace.
At this moment, Long Heng had already walked over and held her hand. In that instant, his heart seemed to have trembled. He felt that Bai Xiangxiu had made a terrifying decision in her heart. How could he not see the determination in her eyes after being married for so long?
"You and I are husband and wife. There's no need for this."
The eunuch on the other side said, "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abolished."
Long Heng turned to look at the eunuch and said, "Oh?
Why don't you be the emperor? "
The eunuch jumped in fright and hurriedly knelt and said, "This servant doesn't dare, this servant doesn't dare."
"Take him away and deal with him."
Long Heng was completely different from the previous two emperors. He was domineering, decisive, brave, and resourceful.
Even if he didn't care about these empty formalities, he wouldn't give anyone face either.
After all, he was forced to do something beyond his ability. They only thought that everyone loved to be the Emperor, and since he was newly appointed, they naturally wanted to teach him some of the rules of the palace.
But after they left, Long Heng pulled Bai Xiangxiu up and said to everyone, "Rules are made by people, but not by you.
Don't try to impose any rules on me. You don't have the ability to do so. "
That's right, the people in the palace all thought that they were old people, and they felt that the servants were bullying the masters.
Therefore, after Prince Rong and his Princess Consort moved in, there were many rules for them, including arranging for beautiful concubines to sleep with.
Those were the rules of the previous emperor, so why should he abide by them?
Let's not talk about how the country would fall into chaos if he didn't abide by the rules. If Prince Rong abided by the rules, wouldn't the situation become even more chaotic?
"You are all servants of Zhen and the Empress, so do what servants should do.
In the future, the empress would be the one in charge in the imperial harem. Anyone who dared to disrespect her would be killed.
Those who dared to deceive their superiors and deceive their subordinates would be killed.
Anyone who dares to send women to my house will be killed. "
Hmm?
Huh?
Even this would be killed?
Bai Xiangxiu blinked and raised her head. Then, her lips curled into a smile.
Her gorgeous face was exceptionally beautiful. She had just finished her confinement, so she had become more mature.
This smile could be said to be more beautiful than a group of women in the imperial harem.
"The previous Emperor, who is the current Prince Rong, is in chaos in the imperial harem. Most of it was caused by servants like you. In order for Zhen to be able to handle state affairs with peace of mind, Zhen will use this as a warning to others in the future. I won't harm the country because of women.
Get up and do what you need to do.
The ceremony should be tomorrow. "
Long Heng's words were domineering at first, but there was a reason behind it. He didn't want to harm the country, so he spoke with a strong sense of righteousness that inspired reverence.
Bai Xiangxiu stared at him speechlessly. He was becoming more and more like an Emperor. Why didn't she notice it before?
No, she noticed it long ago.
Because he stood with the previous Emperor, or even with the previous Emperor, Long Heng's bearing was unmatched. Even if he was in a crowd of ten thousand people, he would be the first one to notice.
No, wait, she suddenly thought of something. Up until now, she hadn't read the book. Now that she thought about it, didn't the Prince's Runaway Concubine become the Empress in the end? She was now snatching the position of the Empress from the female lead?
Bai Xiangxiu silently mourned for the female lead for a few seconds, but she didn't regret snatching her position. Of course, she didn't feel apologetic either.
She had already given birth to three children for him. Not only did she take care of this family, but she also fought with him. She had taken on a lot of responsibilities, so it was natural for her to enjoy all of this.
As Long Heng pulled her to the front, she puffed out her chest and raised her head. She had the aura of an Empress.
Long Heng whispered as they walked, "Were you thinking of escaping just now?"
"How did you know?"
Bai Xiangxiu was shocked. Did she accidentally say what was on her mind?
"Let's see how I'll deal with you tonight."
"This is in front of everyone."
"How would they dare to listen to us?"
"They wouldn't dare."
They had just established their power, so no one dared to come over and talk about rules with the Emperor and Empress.
Just like that, the two of them rested in Heavenly Palace for the night. No one could tell how they felt.
The next day, they held the sacrificial ceremony early in the morning. Although Bai Xiangxiu and Long Heng hadn't held a formal wedding ceremony before, this ceremony was completed.
Moreover, it was completed in front of everyone. It could be said that it was the grandest wedding ceremony ever.
She was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. However, she still had to act like an Empress in front of everyone.
There was no other way. She didn't come from a good background.
Long Heng still took good care of her. Even though he had a lot of things to do, he held her hand the entire time. This saved her a lot of energy.
What they didn't know was that because of this, the outside world's impression of the solemn Li Of Gojoseon had completely changed.
They thought that he was a man who valued relationships and kept his word. Because his Princess Consort was deeply loyal to him, he repaid her with the position of Empress and was very respectful towards her.
But no one would've thought that Long Heng didn't even have a choice. He only had this one daughter-in-law, and she had even given birth to his children. So, he didn't even hesitate to think that Bai Xiangxiu would definitely be the empress candidate.
It wasn't like what the outside world thought. He considered it, bestowed it, or did it for the sake of face, etc.
After the ceremony, the Empress Dowager and the two Princes and Princess were invited into the imperial harem. They immediately made Long Lin the Crown Prince.
There were also some officials who supported the old emperor's faction. They thought that after Long Heng became the Emperor, he should pass the position to someone from the original imperial family.
Long Heng sneered, "Are you all treating me like a fool?
Why don't you take the position of Emperor and pass it to the previous Emperor's bloodline after you're done? "
Who was stupid? He finally became the Emperor and worked so hard for a few years before returning it to someone else's child.
Especially since Long Heng originally didn't want to be the Emperor. Now, he was very resentful.
The ministers were all speechless. Every suggestion was rejected in a straightforward manner.
However, they really didn't dare to take the lead and become the Emperor. Otherwise, the army at the border wouldn't be just for show.
