Chapter 421 Becoming a King in Troubled Times

When the first forsythia blossoms bloom, Shangguan Chen ascended the throne as king!

He chose Yanqing Hall as his bedroom, while Hua Rongrong moved into the Qifeng Hall where the queen should have lived, which caused speculation among court officials.

The Empress Dowager was also quite cruel. When she learned that Que Yun was not her biological son at all, after Que Yun was locked into the heavenly prison, even Que Yun's concubines were originally punished and all were driven into the cold palace.

Concubine Hui was no exception. She was also instigated to the cold palace together with her original eldest son!

At this time, Hua Rongrong was already six months pregnant and his body was quite bulky. He defeated Que Yun's conspiracy and obtained the peace of Chen State. When everything was calm, Hua Rongrong became the most leisurely person. He wandered around the palace every day. Today he went to the imperial kitchen to steal a chicken. Tomorrow, he sneaked into the imperial pharmacy to make trouble. He mixed all the herbs together, and then the person involved was very lucky!

After being told about these "evil deeds" one by one, Shangguan Chen looked at the person who came to complain impatiently, frowned, and dug his ears without any image. Everyone was dissatisfied with different opinions, and complained about Hua Rongrong in tears. In the end, he was just a shook his sleeves and replied coldly: "You are too idle, you are so idle that you have time to care about these trivial matters with a pregnant woman!"

The doctor of the main hospital of the Imperial Hospital replied tremblingly and very seriously: "The emperor's words are unreasonable, which makes me unacceptable!"

Shangguan Chen took a breath, looked at the old doctor with a little anger, and asked back: "Where is I unreasonable?"

The old doctor took a step forward, trembling with his mouth with few teeth left, and said word by word: "The concubines of the first emperor and concubines all entered the cold palace. Why is Rong Rong unique? Concubine Rong is not as dignified and virtuous as a lady from a wealthy family? The emperor should use virtuousness and virtue as the standard for a concubine. Therefore, I believe that Concubine Rong is not allowed to enter the harem again, which is a disaster!"

Wang Xiao, who was watching the joke on the side, couldn't help laughing, walked to the old doctor, helped him with anger, and asked, "Why should the old doctor be angry? Whether Hua Rongrong entered the palace to be a concubine, this is the emperor's family matter, and I am the empress, so I can't say anything! Besides, she is a girl, why should the old doctor not get along with her..."

The old doctor raised his turbid eyes and looked at Shangguan Chen very sharply, "The emperor doesn't know anything..."

Shangguan Chen frowned and looked at him. The old doctor trembled his lips, as if he wanted to tell Hua Rongrong's crimes one by one!

At this time, an unpleasant bird cry came from outside Yanqing Hall. Shangguan Chen immediately looked at the door, and saw Hua Rongrong showing only a small head, waving his hand, and signaling him to come out!

Shangguan Chen felt a little moved, and immediately coughed twice, pretending to be serious and said, "I have a sense of my duty in this matter. If all the officials are not involved, please come back!"

After saying that, regardless of the expressions of everyone, they walked straight out of the hall, walked to Hua Rongrong, lowered their heads and took a kiss, and then squeezed a pastry from the small plate that Hua Rongrong held and threw it into their mouths. Finally, the two hugged each other, leaving only a group of stunned old ministers in the hall!

Hua Rongrong was surrounded by Shangguan Chen in his arms. While walking, he pointed at a group of old ministers in Yanqing Hall and asked casually: "Are these people here to sue me?"

Shangguan Chen lowered his head and kissed her, shook his head, "Ignore it, a group of idle people!"

However, this thing that seemed like a trivial matter ended up in the Queen Mother’s place!

At the beginning, everyone only knew that when Que Yun was in power, he had enthroned a concubine of the King of Ming as a concubine, but no one knew that it was Hua Rongrong. Now, after Shangguan Chen ascended the throne, Hua Rongrong's identity was exposed. The original Concubine Rong was now in Shangguan Chen's heart, but Shangguan Chen did not give Hua Rongrong a title after ascending the throne. Everyone in the palace only knew that the emperor was very pampering about Hua Rongrong, and he did not dare to cause trouble for Hua Rongrong!

The Empress Dowager didn't think so. Although there was Hua Rongrong next to Shangguan Chen, he did not enthrone a concubine, let alone enthrone the queen. Therefore, the Empress Dowager also quietly made a small plan in her heart!

Then, the Empress Dowager invited both Hua Rongrong and Shangguan Chen to the Luanfeng Palace in the name of inviting Shangguan Chen to taste the new tea after the rain!

Hua Rongrong has a very good appetite recently. She stared at the snacks on the small plate and drooled all kinds of times. She ignored what the queen mother was talking about, and only cared about eating and drinking by herself. She ate two snacks of snacks and tea, and she was very happy. Shangguan Chen felt a warm feeling. Seeing the residue on the corner of her mouth, he reached out to wipe it off for her. Then, the two looked at each other and smiled. The queen mother realized that she had been talking for so long, and it turned out that neither of them had listened to each other!

The Empress Dowager immediately coughed twice, and then the two of them turned their attention to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager looked a little ugly and said embarrassedly: "At the beginning, Yun'er was sorry for you first. The Ai family knew that you were nostalgic for the past, and Concubine Le was really a good woman. Why not take her out of the cold palace!"

Shangguan Chen raised his eyebrows, thought about it, but he still agreed, "Everything should be done as the Empress Dowager said! I have no objection."

After leaving the Luanfeng Palace, Hua Rongrong asked, "So you know Concubine Le?"

Shangguan Chen didn't know how to explain to her for a moment, but he nodded unnaturally. Hua Rongrong didn't ask any more questions immediately. On the afternoon of the next day, she had just woken up and heard the little eunuch coming to report that it was Concubine Le who was here!

Hua Rongrong couldn't help feeling a little confused. Hua Rongrong really didn't have much thought about Le Fei. They didn't see each other many times. She just felt that Le Fei was a rare and quiet woman. Even the domineering Concubine Hui at that time could not find Le Fei's fault!

When Hua Rongrong walked out with her belly straight, Concubine Le was drinking tea. When she heard her coming out, she smiled and stood up, "When I left Bolan Courtyard today, I heard that Sister Rong was also in the palace. I thought I hadn't seen her for a long time, so I came uninvited and disturbed her at home!"

Hua Rongrong was a little confused for a moment, and Concubine Le's attitude changed too quickly! It turned out that the two people who had no intersection at all, at this time, these words came out of her mouth, and some unfamiliar people would definitely think that their relationship was very solid!

Hua Rongrong looked at Concubine Le with some discomfort. Concubine Le's face still had a calm smile. She didn't see anything wrong. Hua Rongrong was wondering in her heart. Could it be that she was thinking too much?

She didn't say it out loud at the moment, but just looked at Concubine Le with a smile, "Sister Le is so serious! In this palace, I only recognize you!"

Concubine Le smiled and agreed!

Hua Rongrong suddenly thought of the unnatural expression when the Empress Dowager and Shangguan Chen mentioned Concubine Le. She felt a little uncomfortable and asked tentatively: "Sister Concubine Le is an old acquaintance with the emperor?"

Concubine Le didn't expect that Hua Rongrong would ask so directly. At that moment, a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face, twisted her body, and felt a little uneasy, but she replied embarrassedly: "Think...that's right!"

Hua Rongrong looked at her expression and knew that there must be something wrong with it. She immediately did not ask anything, but instead made a few words with Concubine Le, and then made the excuse that she was a little tired, so she asked the palace maid to send the guest off!

Since Shangguan Chen took Concubine Le out of the cold palace, the call for the Queen of Stands in the court has become increasingly high!

When Que Yun was deposed, the official reason given by the Empress Dowager and Shangguan Chen was that Que Yun suffered from a serious illness and lost all five senses, so he was able to Zen. Moreover, because of the secret of Que Yun's identity, the originally favored Concubine Hui and the eldest son of the emperor were directly disgusted by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager even deprived him of the royal image and ordered someone to direct a good show. Finally, Concubine Hui had an affair with others and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. Therefore, Que Yun passed the throne to Shangguan Chen!

After all, the most unfair thing about this matter was Concubine Hui and the eldest son of the emperor!

The ministers made memorials based on this matter, hoping that Emperor Shangguan Chen would make a decision as soon as possible!

However, there was another dispute over the candidate for the Empress. Wang Xiaoshen's holy heart knew that Shangguan Chen had only Hua Rongrong in his heart, so he proposed to establish Hua Rongrong as the Empress. Some old ministers, whether it was the empress dowager's instructor, or they all thought about it together, and they all suggested to appoint Concubine Le as the Empress!

Shangguan Chen did not think of a suitable reason to oppose everyone for a moment, so he even waved his sleeves in anger and shouted loudly: "Retreat!"

When Wang Xiao saw Shangguan Chen's troublesome look, he followed him in a low voice! Shangguan Chen turned around and saw Wang Xiao following him with a smile on his face. His eyes threw over like a knife, and he roared mercilessly: "Follow me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Wang Xiao smiled and scratched his chin, and asked without fear of death, "Hey! Have you ever thought about how to block the mouths of those old ministers!"

Shangguan Chen made another eyebrow, Wang Xiao put it on very cheaply, and then asked, "Hey! Don't say it, you are still thinking about the old love! What should I do if Hua Rongrong!"

Shangguan Chen stared at him fiercely, as if he was about to take a look and poked a few holes on Wang Xiao's body, "If you are not afraid of death, just continue!"

Wang Xiao still smiled, "But if Concubine Le changed her heart and fell in love with Que Yun, wouldn't it be that she would have led the wolf into the house? Although she was your concubine before, she had been in the palace for many years. I heard that Que Yun also spoiled her very much. The possibility I just mentioned can exist!"

Wang Xiao was even halfway through his words. Shangguan Chen took the sword hanging from the wall. The next moment, the sword was already on Wang Xiao's neck. Shangguan Chen looked at him coldly, "If you dare to tell Rongrong about this, I will let you see the King of Hell!"

At this moment, a "thump" sound came from outside the door. Shangguan Chen looked up and saw Hua Rongrong standing there in a daze, a little helpless. Seeing that Shangguan Chen and Wang Xiao's eyes were already attracted by her, Hua Rongrong smiled and wiped his hands on his clothes, deliberately pointed to the fruit plate that fell to the ground, sniffed and said, "The pastries have fallen to the ground. I'll get some more when I go back..."

As she said that, she turned around without looking back and left!

When Shangguan Chen came to her senses, Hua Rongrong seemed to have gone far away. Shangguan Chen was both angry and angry. He immediately raised his foot and kicked Wang Xiao hard. He hit Wang Xiao with a "clang", and then hurried out to chase Hua Rongrong!

A Hua Rongrong, known for his strength, started crying after leaving Yanqing Palace!

She finally understood that the love words Shangguan Chen said to her were all lies, and she would never see him again!
