Chapter 1646 The Emperor and the Queen
A runaway chess piece?
Shi Xuanji frowned slightly, she didn't like this description.
"Your Excellency is really persistent in provoking me, but no matter what you say, you can't make me doubt the master, so you might as well say something else."
Shi Xuanji said coldly: "I want to know why you helped me twice. Is it because you want to use me to deal with my mentor, so you can't let me die?"
Zhao Mu shook his head: "No, I help you just because you are my old friend."
"Old friend?"
Shi Xuanji was confused: "Have we met before?"
"I have indeed seen it in this life, but what I am talking about is your previous life."
Zhao Mu stared deeply at Shi Xuanji: "I still don't know who you were in your previous life, but what is certain is that you must have been an old friend of mine in your previous life."
Previous life?
How come you even found out your past life?
What the hell is this guy talking about?
Shi Xuanji was a little confused.
At this time, in the divine tribulation jar placed on the table, the wailing sound of the Crown Princess had gradually disappeared, and it seemed that she was completely dead.
"Congratulations on killing another enemy."
Zhao Mu stood up with a smile: "Okay, let's say goodbye today. We will meet again later."
"Also, think carefully about what I said, and think carefully about whether your master really has a deep relationship with you as a master and a disciple?"
"Wait a minute..." Shi Xuanji wanted to stop him.
But unfortunately, Zhao Mu has disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace.
"You're walking really fast. I still have a lot of questions that I haven't asked clearly. Why does this person feel so frizzy? Is he a monkey demon or something?"
Shi Xuanji murmured, but she didn't know that Zhao Mu didn't really leave, but just hid beside him and heard her murmur clearly.
Zhao Mu smiled slightly and suddenly said: "Woman, it is not a good habit to speak ill of people behind their backs!"
Shi Xuanji was startled and looked around the room in shock: "You haven't left yet?"
"I'm really leaving this time!"
Zhao Mu teased and then stopped talking.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't leave!"
Shi Xuanji shouted quickly, but received no response.
She shook her head helplessly: "Hey, can't you just speak clearly before leaving? What a weirdo!"
Turning around and putting away the divine tribulation jar on the table, Shi Xuanji tidied up the room again, and after making sure there were no flaws, she opened the door.
"Princess!"
The two maids saluted quickly.
"Well, how's it going with the housekeeper?" Shi Xuanji imitated the princess and asked calmly.
"Reporting to the Crown Princess, the housekeeper has already led people to search the entire Prince's Mansion. I believe it won't take long for the results to be found."
The two maids answered quickly.
"Very good, let them search carefully and not let go of any clues."
"Yes, I will go and tell the butler now."
A maid bowed, turned and left.
Shi Xuanji looked at the other maid: "Go and order someone to boil water and prepare it. I want to take a bath."
"In the past, these matters were left to Qingluan. Now that she is dead, they will be left to you from now on. Don't neglect it!"
"Yes, Princess!"
The maid was overjoyed.
Does this mean that she may replace Qingluan and become the closest person to the Crown Princess?
This is a step to the sky. If other servants in the mansion knew about it, they would probably die of envy.
Shi Xuanji ignored the maid's reaction, turned around and walked back into the room.
From today on, she is the Crown Princess.
So from now on, she must imitate everything the Crown Princess does, and she must not let others see any flaws.
A night of silence.
According to the rules of the Holy Tree Fairy Kingdom, the day after the emperor's death, the family members of powerful officials were allowed to enter the palace to pay homage.
So early the next morning, Shi Xuanji packed up and took a carriage to the palace.
On the street, the families of other powerful officials were also rushing to the palace in carriages.
When Shi Xuanji's carriage came, all the carriages on the road gave way, and the family members on board got out of the car and saluted.
Many people watched Shi Xuanji's carriage gradually go away, with envious looks on their faces.
Because everyone knows that the woman in the carriage will truly reach heaven in one step when she enters the palace.
After the funeral of the late emperor is over and the new emperor ascends the throne, this general will honor the world and become the most noble woman in the Holy Tree Fairy Kingdom - the queen.
It's a pity that the dead princess can no longer see this scene, otherwise she might jump out of the coffin board.
She has spent many years planning to become the queen one day.
But now, the position she longed for was taken by another woman. Even if she was resurrected, she would be pissed off again.
…
Next time.
The late emperor’s funeral!
Worship the ancestral temple!
Sacrifice ceremony to heaven!
The new emperor ascends the throne!
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the excitement in Holy Tree City lasted for a long time before gradually calming down.
The chaos in the court gradually subsided.
The Holy Tree Longchang finally ascended to the coveted throne and began to handle government affairs as the emperor.
He likes this feeling of power.
After the morning court that day, Shengshu Longchang returned to the imperial study room to review the memorial.
Suddenly, Shi Xuanji, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked in from outside: "See your Majesty."
"The queen is here."
Holy Tree Longchang smiled slightly: "These days we are busy with government affairs, but I have never had time to go to the queen. The queen won't blame me, right?"
"How dare I? Your Majesty's diligence in government affairs is a blessing to the people of the Holy Tree Immortal Kingdom."
Shi Xuanji smiled very dignifiedly, but secretly mocked in her heart: "Do you think I don't know why you don't go to the Queen's bedroom?"
"Isn't it because you are inhumane and afraid that I, the Queen, will know about it, and even more afraid that it will be leaked out and make yourself a laughing stock in the court and the public?"
"But some secrets cannot be hidden just because you want to."
Shi Xuanji smiled and continued: "Your Majesty, I came here today to ask for an order."
"Ask for an order? Why does the Queen have to ask for an order in person?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the court's traditional rules, after the new emperor ascends the throne, the court will begin to select concubines."
"So I come to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to order the Ministry of Rites to start handling this matter, so as to fill the harem for Your Majesty."
This is really a pot that is not open!
A trace of shame and anger flashed in Shengshu Longchang's eyes, but he couldn't show it on his face.
He frowned slightly: "I have just ascended the throne not long ago, and there are still many things to deal with in the court. There is no need to rush the selection of concubines, right?"
"This..."
Shi Xuanji looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it has always been the rule of our Shengshu Immortal Kingdom to select concubines to enter the palace after the new emperor ascends the throne. There has never been an exception."
"If your Majesty does not select concubines to enter the palace, it is unreasonable and may cause criticism from the court."
"After all, it has always been the duty of the emperor to have many offspring."
Shengshu Longchang became even more angry!
And have many offspring!
He felt that every word of the queen in front of him was provoking his reverse scale, and he simply...simply suspected that she was doing it on purpose!
"Okay, Queen, I will consider the matter of selecting concubines to enter the palace, you don't have to worry about it!"
Shengshu Longchang said coldly.
"This...I obey the order!"
Shi Xuanji had no choice but to agree, but she laughed secretly in her heart.
Because she came here today, she wanted Shengshu Longchang's reaction.
