Chapter 482 Testing
A month later, Lu Ji ascended the throne with the support of his ministers and changed the country's name to Eastern Zhou. Within ten days of his ascension to the throne, Lu Ji drove the Zhao royal family out of the capital and moved to Yidu. After he pacified the court with an iron-blooded hand, he appointed his first wife Qin Xiaoning as queen, his eldest son Lu Chengyun as crown prince, and his second son Lu Chengxi as King of Qin.

The day they moved to the imperial city was a sunny day. The couple held hands and each led a son as they walked into the gate of the inner palace.

Lu Ji renovated the bedroom for his queen and named it Changle Palace according to her title of princess.

It was the first time for the two children to enter the palace. They looked at the majestic and magnificent palaces with their eyes wide open, as if they couldn’t get enough of them. Especially Xier, she was as happy and excited as a bird just out of a cage.

Qin Xiaoning looked at the two children's happy faces, and she chatted with Song Zhi happily: "My two sons have hardly left the house since they were born."

Songzhi sighed, "In the past, I was so worried that I dared not take the children out of the house. Now, the prince has become the emperor and you have become the queen. You no longer have to be restricted by others, and you don't have to worry about someone plotting against you."

"There are still people who want to plot against us." Qin Xiaoning said, "We have just overthrown the Zhao family. Although my husband has become the emperor, he still needs time to sit firmly on the throne."

Songzhi smiled and sighed: "You are the queen who rules the country, and Yun'er is the crown prince. Now, you have entered the palace, but I still feel like I am dreaming."

The master and servant were chatting here, and the two children came running over after hearing the noise. Xier looked up and asked her mother, "Mother, what does the term 'crown prince' mean? Why do they all call my brother 'crown prince', but call me 'king'?"

"The prince is the future emperor."

Without waiting for Qin Xiaoning to answer, Lu Ji strode into the hall.

The man was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, which made him look even more majestic and noble, but he still walked with big strides and a breeze.

Upon seeing this, all the female officials and palace maids in the hall immediately saluted respectfully, but Lu Ji waved his hand and ordered them to leave. Then he came and sat down beside his wife, holding the two children, with one sitting on each lap.

Xi'er had just heard what her father said, and was now blinking her bright eyes in thought. However, she was still young and had a dull mind, so she asked her father, "Dad, they say you are the emperor now, so does my brother want to be the emperor too? You are both emperors, so why can't I be the emperor?"

After listening to his second son, Lu Ji cleared his throat and replied seriously, "Now that my father has become the emperor, the throne must be passed on to his son. Your brother is my eldest son, so I can only give it to him."

The principle is simple and clear, and children can understand it.

Seeing Xi'er nodded, Lu Ji added: "When you grow up, you have to help your brother, but remember, you can only help him. The throne belongs to him, and you can't compete with your brother. In the future, when father and mother are old, you have to listen to your brother in everything."

Seeing her father's serious expression, Xi'er nodded quickly. In order to please her father, she added, "Actually, nowadays, I listen to my brother more."

Qin Xiaoning was amused and glanced at her son's childish face. Lu Ji also wanted to laugh, but he held it back and said seriously, "You can listen to your brother, which is great. Daddy also praises you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun'er, who was also sitting on Lu Ji's lap, said to her brother like a little adult: "Brother praises you too."

Xier was very happy to be praised by both her father and brother. However, she felt something was wrong.

But he couldn't quite figure out what was wrong.

Seeing the young son being fooled by the father and son, Qin Xiaoning felt amused and helpless. She immediately took the children down and coaxed them, "Go and play outside with Aunt Songzhi."

Children are the most playful. When they heard that they were going to play, they would drop everything else and run out happily following the pine branches.

Only the couple were left in the huge palace. Lu Ji pulled his wife over and said in a gentle voice, "I heard that the phoenix crown and phoenix robe are ready. Have they given them to you to try on?"

Qin Xiaoning nodded: "I've tried them all, and they're very suitable." "The second day of next month will be the ceremony for the queen's coronation. In the next few days, you can ask the ceremonial officer of the inner court about the rules."

Qin Xiaoning nodded again, and then said coquettishly: "You have just ascended the throne, and there are still many important things to take care of. There is no need to be so anxious to be crowned queen."

Lu Ji was eager to make her the queen, and Qin Xiaoning was naturally happy, but now that his man was an emperor, she still had to say some polite words in private.

In this way, one can show his magnanimity and virtue.

How could Lu Ji not see through the thoughts of the little woman he raised? So he acted pleased and praised: "It's great that my queen is so virtuous and generous. It's great, very good."

He used the same tricks he had used to trick Xier again.

Qin Xiaoning snorted in her heart, but her face remained gentle: "My husband is now the emperor, and as his wife, I naturally have to be more strict with myself."

Hearing this, Lu Ji raised his eyes and glanced at the little woman, still nodding and praising: "It's great that you have this awareness."

She was just testing him, wanting to see if he could still favor her as before after becoming emperor.

The fact that he offered the queen position to her without hesitation only showed that the man was responsible and did not forget his roots, but it did not mean that he would still be able to love and pamper her wholeheartedly in the future.

Which emperor doesn’t have three palaces and six courtyards?

There are too many women and too many gossips, and a man's heart will be divided.

The young woman thought about this in her mind and tried to test the man with words, but she didn't expect that the man seemed to have two minds.

How could she feel happy?

She simply stopped talking to him, stood up angrily, and sat down in front of the diamond-shaped mirror. The little woman felt empty inside and didn't know what to do, so she just stared at the dressing table in a daze.

In public, she always appeared to be dignified and virtuous, but in private, she would often lose her temper with him.

This little thing, his outward skills are all just an act, he's just a pretentious person at heart.

But men just like her like this.

She thought she was cute and interesting, which made him unable to stop, and also encouraged him to tease her whenever he got the chance.

The man glanced at her angry back and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

"What's wrong?" He smiled in his heart but didn't show it on his face. His voice was clear and he pretended to be completely unaware of what she was thinking.

The little woman glanced at the man through her prism glasses and snorted inaudibly: "Nothing, I just miss home a little."

"Are you missing home?" The man walked up behind her and pretended to be surprised: "This is our home from now on, where else do you want to go? This is the most luxurious residence in the world, isn't it enough to satisfy you?"
