Chapter 45

    In December of the eighth year of Yuntai, Xuanyuan Zhaoshen officially abdicated as the Supreme Emperor. From then on, he stopped interfering with political affairs and concentrated on resting his body.

    After the simple enthronement ceremony, Xuanyuan Hancheng once again sat on the dragon chair after a long absence, feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.

    In the days that followed, Xuanyuan Hancheng handled government affairs in an orderly manner, visited his father every day, and felt relieved to see his father's condition improved.

    Xuanyuan Hancheng was not in a hurry to move out of the Crown Prince's East Palace, and went back and forth between the Imperial Study Room and Pingle Garden every day as usual. Although Xuanyuan Hancheng only had Lin Jiabao, the Song family and the Yu family in the backyard, it would not be difficult to change the palace. But Xuanyuan Hancheng considered that Guaibao's body was heavy, and it would not be easy to get tired now, so the matter of moving the palace was postponed.

    Xuanyuan Hancheng only issued an imperial decree regarding the matter of the ministers' canonization of the harem. Canonize Lin Fangjun as noble monarch, and posthumously confer Zhang Fangfei as virtuous concubine. Both the Song family and the Yu family were canonized as concubines. In addition, no canonization ceremony was held.

    Xuanyuan Hancheng knew that now was not the time to make Guaibao the queen, so he didn't care too much about the absence of the canonization ceremony.

    Everyone inside and outside the court knew that this was because the Supreme Emperor was ill, and it was not good for the emperor to seal the harem at this time. Seeing that the emperor is still living in the prince's east palace, he has no intention of moving the palace for the time being. The ministers all praised the emperor for his pure filial piety, and they were much less worried about the new emperor's enthronement.

    When Zhang Shilang's family learned that their daughter was posthumously named a concubine, the whole family was very pleased. I am even more grateful to the emperor, full of gratitude. In the court, Zhang Shilang always followed the emperor's political opinions, and followed suit, which brought great convenience for Xuanyuan Hancheng's control over civil servants.

    Mrs. Yu broke a set of exquisite tea sets, "My lord! Your lord! You are just a twin, born as a palace servant. Now you have been named a noble, why!" The more Yu thought about it, the more unwilling she was, "My stomach I still don’t know what it is!"

    "Your Majesty, don't be angry, your body won't be worth it if you get angry." Biying, the big court lady beside Yu, persuaded her.

    "Oh...the palace is not moving, and there is no canonization ceremony, what kind of empress..." Yu continued to complain.

    "Your Majesty, stop talking, be careful..." Bi Ying looked out of the window worriedly, the partition wall has ears.

    Yu's mouth was silent, so he had to vent his anger on the handkerchief, and twisted two more handkerchiefs before giving up.

    In the afternoon, Xuanyuan Han returned to Pingle Garden after summoning several confidant ministers. He was not in a hurry to see Guaibao, but changed his clothes first, and then went to Guaibao's palace after getting rid of the cold air on his body.

    Once inside the palace, it was as warm as spring, and more than a dozen braziers were placed in the palace, all burning gold charcoal without a trace of smoke. This top-notch treatment is the only one in this harem except for the empress. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all good people, and everyone in the harem doesn't know who doesn't know Lin Guijun's exclusive favor status. Naturally, as soon as I have something good, I will send it to Pingle Garden, which is very courteous.
