300 Congratulatory Messages From All Over
“Second kowtow!”
“Third kowtow!” The eunuch’s voice spread far and wide in the silent snow, and the sounds of kneeling could be heard from both inside and outside the capital. After three kowtows, the heavy snow suddenly stopped after Jiang Xi said ‘rise’. It was too obvious that the heavens wanted Jiang Xi to succeed the throne!
The emperor, who had been promoted to the retired emperor, had a straight face at this time, as if he had been slapped by the heavens. Then, he silently took out a wig from his arms. The imperial advisor took a look and felt that it looked familiar.
“I had someone make it based on your head.” The retired emperor raised his eyebrows and pointed at the imperial preceptor’s Silver hair. He put on the wig in front of the imperial preceptor.
“I thought about it carefully. It’s a bit embarrassing to abdicate with black hair. Now that my hair is white, it doesn’t seem so miserable anymore.” The retired emperor was looking for a way out.
The imperial preceptor smiled and did not say anything. He would not expose the retired emperor’s spirit.
Zhao Hongwei kneeled outside, dumbfounded. What was that? He had just been chased out of the house and his daughter-in-law had already become the empress?
“Marquis, Marquis, you have to come to my house tonight. I stole two cups of deer blood from my father. When the time comes, I’ll give them to you to nourish you.” As everyone knew, deer blood had an aphrodisiac effect, and the little widow who spoke looked shy.
“Why does he need to go to your house? Who doesn’t know that you lost your husband a long time ago? Your husband died because of you.” The other woman had her hands on her hips, and the fierce-looking flesh on her face was swaying, making her look very fierce.
Zhao Hongwei’s expression was as bitter as a bitter gourd. He did not know what went wrong. In the past, his luck with women had never stopped, and he had only attracted beautiful and young girls. However, the young girls had become old women now. Yesterday, two peasant women had fought because of him, and he… He was just glanced at by them while drinking, and then he was sent to the Yamen by the sons of two peasant women, who accused him of kidnapping a good woman! This was the seventh time this month! This was the seventh time this month! Even the government officials were asking him about it!
Zhao Hongwei was also in despair! What could he do?! He did not do anything! At this moment, the two women were chattering and gesturing, almost fighting.
“Alright, all of you get lost! Don’t think that I don’t know that your farm work is about to end. You just want to trick me into doing farm work for you! You wish!” Zhao Hongwei shouted and ran away with red eyes. Who knew what he had experienced during this period of time. When he was chased out of the house, he had said ruthlessly that he would only return to Zhao residence if Concubine Fang and her entire family invited him. Otherwise, he would make them regret it. He had always thought that the concubines in the residence were just scaring him. After such a long time of love, they could not live without him, so he had vowed to leave the Zhao Manor. Who knew… This was the result!
Zhao Hongwei’s heart was about to break. He had no money during this period of time and had been tricked into harvesting rice straws and corn. He had also been tricked into plowing the fields and mining coal… Zhao Hongwei planned to wait until the autumn harvest was over before coming out. He was so unlucky. Zhao Hongwei watched Jiang Xi ascend the throne from afar and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He wanted to have a son to inherit the family business, but now, his son’s wife had become the empress and even had the throne.
“Why is my life so bitter? God, did you eat too much bitter melon when you created me… ” Zhao Hongwei wiped his tears and walked away with a face full of vicissitudes of life. He was afraid that he would be dragged down by some family’s son to be beaten up again, saying that he had deceived their mother’s heart.
The moment Jiang Xi accepted everyone’s kowtow, the withered trees all over the city bloomed. Sister Yi and Song Yun were like her left and right arms, standing on her left and right. The retired emperor’s eyelids twitched. What the hell, his concubine, Zheng Shan’er, was actually his daughter’s subordinate? Zheng Shan’er was so obedient in front of Jiang Xi. She was not as tyrannical and willful as she was in front of him. Only God knew how scared he was after he brought Zheng Shan’er into the palace. He had to keep an eye on her at all times, afraid that she would do something that would harm the country.
Jiang Xi’s expression was calm. She was dressed in a dragon robe and holding the imperial jade seal in her arms. She looked into the distance and thought, ‘My husband, you must protect your chastity.’
The neighboring countries soon found out about the change of ruler. The mysterious woman surnamed Fang had taken over half of the Northern Border. After hearing about this, she immediately sent a priceless gift, which was said to have angered the emperor of the Northern Border.
