Chi Zhen arranged the enthronement ceremony and the conferment ceremony on the same day.
Speaking of the Queen's Ceremony
It wasn't until the day before, when Grandma Sun gave her instructions on the process, that Yuan Yao realized how complicated and cumbersome it was.
Chi Zhen seems to have added all the unnecessary procedures.
He gave her the most solemn ceremony in the world.
If you don't know, you might think this is a wedding where the emperor and empress just got married.
Even the interior decoration of Kunning Palace looks like a wedding room, with joy everywhere.
But Yuan Yao didn't care about this.
By the time it was all over, she was extremely tired.
But when she saw that Chi Zhen seemed very happy, she didn't want to disturb his mood.
However, before going to bed at night, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Before going to bed, she habitually wanted to extinguish the burning red candle on the table, but Chi Zhen suddenly stopped her.
His eyes fell on the two red candles and he said to Yuan Yao, "Let them keep burning tonight."
Yuan Yao looked at him, feeling that he seemed to have something on his mind, and his expression was a little unclear.
As if thinking of something bad.
Yuan Yao was suddenly confused.
She tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Chi Zhen paused, did not answer her question, but suddenly picked her up and walked to the bed, saying in a calm tone, "Tonight is very important, we can't waste it."
Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she was directly suppressed by him.
Before she was so tired that she was about to fall asleep, she turned her head slightly and saw the dancing candlelight in her hazy sight.
Suddenly I understood what Chi Zhen meant by "very important".
Her consciousness gradually blurred, she closed her eyes, put her arms around his neck, and murmured softly, "Don't worry, I said I will always be with you and I won't leave."
"."
Chi Zhen froze slightly.
He looked at her peaceful sleeping face and felt that his whole heart was sore and swollen.
Chi Zhen was indeed what he said. Even after he became emperor, he never had a concubine.
The ministers had admonished him many times for this, but Chi Zhen proved with his strength that he could secure the throne without any concubines in the harem.
The ministers gradually calmed down and thought.
But a few years later, they suddenly discovered that the Queen and His Majesty had been married for so long, but they were still not pregnant with a son.
At this time, some people's minds suddenly became active again.
Even though Chi Zhen lost his temper several times over this, they still persisted in persuading him to enrich his harem and spread its branches.
Even General Zhenbei, despite his deepest reluctance, forcefully persuaded Chi Zhen to take a concubine in order to prevent his daughter from being called the "demon queen".
Yuan Yao saw all this.
She asked Huahua secretly in private.
Huahua said that since she herself was not a tribulationist, she would not leave her bloodline in the mortal world, and Yuan Yao understood all the reasons.
She immediately felt very sorry for Chi Zhen, but didn't know what to do.
He is an emperor, and if he has no descendants, he cannot explain himself to the world.
Therefore, when another minister came to give advice, Yuan Yao was ready to test Chi Zhen's thoughts by making some subtle remarks.
If he really wants to take a concubine for this, she actually
Yuan Yao didn't know whether she was willing or not.
I just feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
But some things still have to be considered from the overall situation.
However, just when she was about to suppress her discomfort and raise this issue with Chi Zhen, Chi Zhen seemed to understand her thoughts first.
There was a faint smile on his lips, but the look in his eyes was a little dark and unclear, "Yao Yao, are you going to push me to others again?"
Yuan Yao paused and felt a chill on his back.
So, when the words he wanted to say reached his lips, he turned around and said, "No. I just want to ask you. What do you want to eat tonight?"
Chi Zhen looked at her meaningfully.
In the end, he just held her hand, squeezed it gently, and said softly, "You like it."
Seeing that he no longer pursued the issue, Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
However, the next day, she heard that Chi Zhen had adopted the son of a neighboring prince into his name and asked the Taifu to teach him.
And those ministers who proposed to let him take concubines suddenly became extremely busy during this period, so busy that they had no time to show their faces in front of him.
From then on, no one dared to mention this matter in front of him.
Yuan Yao was slightly silent.
She stood in front of Kunning Palace and looked into the distance. Looking at the empty but peaceful palace, she suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with this kind of life.
Only she and him can be safe and happy in this life.
