daughter in power

Chapter 214 Birthday

There is a solemn scene in the palace.

Everyone lowered their heads and dared not look more.

Everyone held their breath, for fear of disturbing Xia Xi who was on the throne of the dragon chair.

An untimely question came from the corner.

All eyes turned to the young master in an instant.

Qiqi also looked at Qiqi standing beside the young master.

Qiqi's cheeks burned and she lowered her head.

The little boy was still looking at Xia Xi in the distance, his eyes wandering up and down his legs.

Very curious about his changes.

A disabled person suddenly regained his health overnight, which inevitably aroused everyone's speculation.

It's just that the person involved is the monarch of the Great Xia Kingdom, no one dared to offend him, so naturally he pretended to be deaf and dumb and refused to ask more questions.

Only a pure and kind child like the young master would have such doubts.

Xia Xi looked over coldly.

Qiqi hurriedly grabbed the young master's hand, lowered her head: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Bing'er is just... just curious."

Xia Xi didn't speak, but still looked at the young master calmly.

The little boy was not afraid at all, he looked straight into his eyes.

Everyone was apprehensive, and Qiqi felt a strange feeling in her heart.

"Are you still used to living in Yangxi Palace?"

The sudden opening of the new monarch does not belong to the category of enthronement ceremony.

The Chief Inspector of the Ritual Supervisor hurriedly said auspicious words, trying to cancel Xia Xi's strange words.

However, Xia Xi looked indifferent.

In the center of the hall, everyone is watching, everyone is timid, and everyone is afraid.

The enthronement ceremony, which has not changed for a hundred years, has undergone changes, and everyone does not know how to deal with it.

Had to pretend to be deaf and dumb again.

In the entire Chaoyang Palace, only Xia Xi still maintained a gentle attitude.

Let the little boy not be so depressed.

The young master nodded: "It's okay, but I'm homesick and want to go back and live with my adoptive father."

Xia Xi's eyes flashed, but she didn't speak.

With her eyes flickering, Qiqi took the young master's hand and exerted a little force.

It seems that there are all kinds of reluctance.

On the opposite side, Xia Xi nodded faintly: "When General Dongfang returns, let him pick you up."

The little prince's eyes widened in disbelief, and he kowtowed in a dignified way: "Thank you, my lord, Your Majesty."

Sure enough, he returned to his full adult appearance.

Xia Xi curled her lips and smiled: "Let's be flat. Dongfang Yibing, I will give you the right to walk freely in the palace, and I will give you the right to run horses in the palace. I only hope that even though you go home, don't forget to go to the palace often." Come and visit the Queen."

For today's enthronement ceremony, the Ministry of Rites did not plan a ceremony for the appointment of the queen.

In other words, Xia Xi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, but the empress was still vacant.

Everyone looked at him in astonishment, wanting to hear something more from his mouth.

The young master nodded half-understood: "The villain will, the empress... treats the villain very well, and the villain will often visit her."

Xia Xi nodded and smiled, turned around and walked up the Nine Dragon Steps, towards the throne inlaid with gold and jade.

Not a single word about the Queen.

The inspector of ceremonies sang loudly.

Xia Xi saluted meticulously.

After saluting on his side, he was sitting upright on the dragon chair.

The courtiers began to kneel down and shout long live according to the libretto of the supervisor of ceremonies.

One sound, shocking Xiaoyu.

The eardrums trembled.

The young master knelt beside Qiqi, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty...is he a good person?"

She didn't expect him to ask this question at such a young age.Busily sorting out his thoughts, he said seriously: "The emperor is the ninth son of heaven, the heir chosen by the holy immortal of Jiuyin, so he is of course a good person."

The young master blinked: "But the national teacher and the Nine Yin Saint Immortal are both bad people, how can the emperor be a good person?"

He said it in a serious way: "My foster father said that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. A good person can only be called a good person if he plays with a good person. If a good person plays with a bad person every day, then this good person must also be a bad person."

Fortunately, they were standing in the corner, and there were no ministers beside them.

If not, the young master's remarks will immediately attract the attention and criticism of the courtiers.

Her eyes flashed, and she whispered: "Maybe... it's because..."

"Queen."

In the distance, someone is calling her.

She was startled, forgot how to explain to the young master, raised her head, and looked at the person stupidly.

Xia Xi had already stepped down from the dragon chair.

Step by step towards her.

Go to her side.

She froze for a moment, not knowing whether to get up or continue to kneel down.

"Queen, get up." Xia Xi stood close and held out her hand to her.

The words are gentle and soft, not like an emperor, but like an ordinary husband.

Her eyes shivered, she looked up at his tall figure, and passed out her hand.

Then, he was pulled up by him.

The two stood facing each other, and all the courtiers bowed their heads to the ground.

In the huge Chaoyang Palace, there were only two figures left.

He said: "From today onwards, you are the queen of my Xia Xi, the mother of the Great Xia Kingdom. From then on, you will be honored by the mother and live in prosperity and well-being."

He spoke sincerely and made a solemn promise.

Her eyes flashed, not knowing what to say.

He turned his head, and the supervisor of ceremonies sent over a crown of pure gold with dots of emerald green, in the center of which was an egg-sized oriental bead, shining brightly.

The inner eunuch was half-hunted, with his head lowered.

But he held up the crown firmly with both hands.

He took the tiara, solemnly put the gorgeous tiara on her head, and said gently: "It's beautiful."

She couldn't see whether she was beautiful or not, she just felt that the top of her head was heavy and uncomfortable.

She blinked and raised her head: "It's too heavy."

He smiled: "They have reduced the size and weight of the crown according to my request. If it still feels heavy, just bear with it."

The thoughtful words reverberated in the Chaoyang Palace, and the jaws of the others nearly dropped.

The little boy raised his head: "Empress Empress."

Qiqi was startled, and hurriedly turned her head.

A certain little guy seemed to be kneeling very wronged.

There is helplessness in the eyes.

Subconsciously, she stretched out her hand and pulled the child up.

The little boy stood up straight and patted the dust off his clothes.

Xia Xi smiled slightly, wanted to touch his head but held back.

He turned his head, and his ashen complexion recovered in an instant: "Who cleaned the ground? It stained the young master's clothes, and the stick is responsible for twenty."

Outside the palace gate, an internal eunuch hurriedly took orders to carry out.

The young master tilted his head to look at him, with puzzlement written on his face: "Why do you want to blame the palace servants?"

Xia Xi's eyes flashed: "Because they stained your clothes."

The little boy shook his head: "But my clothes are not dirty, I'm just used to tidying up my clothes."

Xia Xi didn't make a sound.

On the first day of enthronement, to be slapped in the face by a little guy must not feel very good.

Qiqi hurriedly looked at Xia Xi's face.

The courtiers in the palace had already secretly glanced at his face, wanting to see what the new king is really capable of.

The little boy didn't respond.

Xia Xi looked at him, softened her face, and still turned her head and said: "After the [-]th rod duty, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and go out of the palace to retire."

"Here." At the gate of the palace, it was still the eunuch who answered.

However, a strange aura erupted from the entire palace.

What exactly is this smell like, Qiqi doesn't quite understand.

She just felt relieved.

But I felt that I secretly grasped my heart.

Not allowing her to think too much, Xia Xi has already held her hand and walked to the throne.

She was startled, turned to look at the young master, and finally let go of her hand.

The little prince stood there obediently, independent of all the courtiers.

Xia Xi nodded in satisfaction, smiled slightly, and pulled Qiqi further and further away.

There are hundreds of people kneeling in the huge Chaoyang Hall, and there are only three members of this family standing.

As Qiqi walked step by step, she could hear the voice of the ceremonial inspector singing in her ears, and her head was still a little dazed.

On and off, it's the bits and pieces of so many years.

From meeting and acquaintance to getting to know each other, from a beautiful woman to a palace lady to a concubine, and then to today's queen.

Experienced too much life and death, experienced too many lives hanging by a thread.

She originally had no strength to restrain a chicken, she only knew how to shoot a bird with a slingshot, and she is considered a martial arts expert even now.

He is proficient in horseback riding and archery, and he can control short swords and long swords freely.

Injuring people with darts, walking on walls, and marching in the Gobi are already a piece of cake for her.

So many ever.

Sad beyond words.

In a daze, his fingers were clenched tightly.

She turned her head and looked at Xia Xi's flirtatious face.

"Qi'er, I have finally fulfilled my promise to marry you as my queen."

She didn't know when he had made such a promise to her.

However, it seems that I have heard him talk about it with my own ears.

She smiled shyly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I don't want to be some queen. I just hope that our family... will be safe and together forever."

Her request is not too high for ordinary people.

But for the emperor's family, such a requirement is too high.

Xia Xi's eyes were gentle, and she looked at the little figure standing under the steps in a blink of an eye, and smiled slightly: "This is also my wish."

I have only heard of the dream of the emperor, the expansion of the frontier and the expansion of the land, the holy name of the eternal, and the legacy of the ages.

But I never knew which emperor had only such a small requirement for life.

However, what Xia Xi said was very serious and solemn.

She smiled, turned her head together with him, and looked at the little guy together.

Although he is small, his face is already peerless.

It's breathtakingly beautiful.

Behind him, many courtiers were kneeling, as if they were saluting to him.

Qiqi had a gentle face, thinking of the scene many years later, she couldn't help but smile sweetly.

Xia Xi said: "It's really like when I was a child..."

At the enthronement ceremony on June [-]th, Xia Xi and Qiqi were celebrated together.

The emperor's name is Tiancheng Emperor, and the year name is changed to Tiancheng. This year, the old name is still used as Zeyuan, and next year will officially be the first year of Tiancheng.

Empress Jiang Qiqi was also registered as Empress Xiyan, who lived in Yangxi Palace and enjoyed the first-class courtesy.

Then he rewarded hundreds of officials, rewarded the three armies, opened more cultural relics and imperial examinations, opened granaries in various places to release grain and porridge, donated money, and amnesty the world.

The joy of enthroning and proclaiming emperor spread from the palace to all places in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Everyone can't help but listen to it.

June [-]th is also the birthday of the young master.

Dongfang Xiu didn't come back, so Qiqi and Xia Xi spent this birthday with the young master.

The gifts were prepared long ago, and there were food, play, and everything.

The enthronement ceremony was only held during the day, and he was already extremely tired at night.

But in Yangxi Palace, a warm atmosphere was still created.

The young master sat on the mahogany flower chair in the center of the hall, looked at Qiqi and Xia Xi, and asked doubtfully, "How can the emperor and queen remember Bing'er's birthday?"

With a flash in Qiqi's eyes, Xia Xi spoke first: "Of course, your birthday is June [-]th, and the empress told me personally."

The young master turned his head to look at Qiqi: "How do you remember my birthday?"

She froze for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Because... I heard General Dongfang mention it, so I remembered it."

She has a lot to say.

However, it is useless to say more at this moment.

Now that he has just ascended the throne, too many people are waiting to shoot arrows and guns in secret. It is safer to hide the young master than to expose him.

The little boy muttered, "You have a really good memory."

Now, don't worry about it anymore.

Happy birthday.

Playing games, eating omelets, and setting off river lanterns are really amazing.

Qiqi personally ordered a bowl of birthday noodles for him, small portion, full of flavor and taste.

The young master stared at the bowl of noodles, hesitantly said: "Is the empress also able to make noodles?"

She couldn't help laughing: "Of course, I used to be the royal chef in the palace, so my cooking skills are naturally excellent."

Xia Xi hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Both of them smiled and looked at the young master. He smiled sweetly, stared at the birthday noodles for a while, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat slowly.

He didn't put down his chopsticks until he finished eating the bowl of noodles, and said with a smile, "I'm full, thank you."

Look at this appearance, he really doesn't have the energy to clamor for Dongfang Xiu before.

Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently.

The little prince said: "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."

In this way, it is natural that Gong'e quickly ordered Gong'e to make the bed and arrange the quilt to settle him down.

Chunlan came forward, ready to lead him to take a bath and sleep.

He even refused Chunlan: "I'm an adult, I should sleep alone."

Chunlan didn't dare to persuade him anymore and let him go.

So he bathed and bathed alone, and went to bed alone.
