After being struck by lightning and being in the world of women

Emperor Showa really passed away.

Zhong Ruhuang was stunned for a moment, then knelt down.

The eldest princess and the others knelt down behind her.

To be on the safe side, Emperor Showa wrote an imperial edict to pass on the throne and read it in front of all civil and military officials. The general meaning was that after her death, the throne would be inherited by her personally-appointed princess Zhong Ruhuang, and no other princesses would be given any chance at all.

As Emperor Showa's personal female guard, Hou Songlin personally arranged Emperor Showa's remains and laid them in the coffin.

Yan Shijun in the coffin also changed his appearance and was placed in the side hall of the mourning hall.

Zhong Ruhuang succeeded to the throne in front of Emperor Zhaohe's spirit and became Emperor Shengwu.

Emperor Showa read out the imperial edict of succession in front of all the civil and military officials, but he emphasized that Zhong Ruhuang was a congenital master.

Therefore, when the Ministry of Rites was drafting the title of emperor for Zhong Ruhuang, they chose several, but only Emperor Shengwu was the best.

Saint, noble character, and extraordinary wisdom.

Needless to say, the word "Wu" refers to the title of King Wu that Zhong Ruhuang had before she became the empress.

This can also be regarded as a characteristic of female emperors, which will include the royal title before ascending the throne.

Zhong Ruhuang became the new empress of Qinglan. She had to deal with the funeral of Emperor Showa and important affairs of the court. She was very busy.

At the same time, she also had to arrange people to go to Chaotian Pass to pick up Zhong Yaoye and the others.

After all, she can handle the affairs of the court, but the affairs of the harem are difficult to handle.

Therefore, she sent a pigeon message directly, asking Sun Younv to lead the remaining 27,000 cavalry to escort Zhong Yaoye and his group of male relatives back to Chaotian City.

Zhong Ruhuang still trusts her brother-in-law, Sun Younv.

At the same time, Fang Yuehua led 2,500 cavalrymen into Chaotian City to guard the safety of the imperial palace.

Fang Anran brought people to guard Zhong Ruhuang's safety.

As Zhong Ruhuang's old Taishan, Zhong Wuwen led the Jingji Camp to guard the safety of Chaotian City, strictly screen people entering and leaving the city, and control Chaotian City.

The development of things to this point has really exceeded Zhong Wuwen's expectations.

Originally, when she learned the news of Emperor Showa's death, she had already decided to surrender to Zhong Ruhuang and join her in the rebellion.

Anyway, Emperor Showa is dead, so it’s not like she’s betrayed her.

After all, she also has to consider her granddaughter.

To be honest, although Emperor Showa became the empress by rebelling, he was still good to these meritorious officials and did not do anything like abandoning them.

The Zhang family of Cheng'en Mansion has always been prosperous.

She, the Prince of Chang, is alive and well and has a large army under her command.

Only the general Zhao's mansion had all its heads chopped off because they followed the second princess in a rebellion.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Showa used the same trick against Zhong Ruhuang and made her the crown princess, deposing Zhong Huaiqi.

What surprised Zhong Wuwen even more was that Zhong Ruhuang had become a congenital master at such a young age. She was truly extremely talented.

The wealth of Prince Chang’s Mansion was secured, at least for her granddaughter’s generation.

As for her great-granddaughter in the future, it depends on her granddaughter's efforts.

She is old, and she is very lucky to have brought wealth to the Changjun Palace for two generations.

People should be content.

The eldest princess and her companions obediently kept vigil for Emperor Showa, and all the male relatives in their house, except those who were pregnant or in confinement, came to mourn.

Zhong Ruhuang would burn incense to Emperor Showa every day, and spend the rest of her time familiarizing herself with state affairs.

Emperor Showa's body had to be kept for 49 days before it could be buried in the imperial mausoleum, so many ice beads were placed in the mourning hall, including her coffin, to temporarily prevent her body from rotting.

Zhong Yaoye, who was far away in Chaotian Pass, was very happy when she received the news that Zhong Ruhuang had succeeded to the throne as empress.

With a five-month pregnant belly, she had people pack their luggage, arrange a boat, and set off back to Chaotian City with the men and children of Prince Wu's Palace.

Sun Younu was accompanied by cavalrymen for escort.

They traveled by water, which was faster and safer than by land.

After all, there are two pregnant men among the male family members.

It’s better to take the water route, it’s not so bumpy.

Emperor Showa's birthday was on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, and his death was on the seventh day of the sixth lunar month.

It was already a month later when Zhong Yaoye and her male relatives boarded a boat to Chaotian City.

Zhong Ruhuang thoughtfully sent Zhong Wuwen to pick up the boat.

The mother and son haven't seen each other for more than a year.

Although Zhong Ruhuang has not yet been canonized as a concubine, Zhong Yaoye is already the emperor's husband in name only.

Zhong Wuwen knelt down.

"Your humble servant greets the Emperor."

Zhong Yaoye held Liuli's hand, got off the boat with red eyes and a six-month-old belly.

"Mother, please get up quickly."

Zhong Wuwen got up and looked at the rosy-faced Zhong Yaoye, knowing that he was living a good life after getting married.

"My dear husband, His Majesty has sent me to take you to the palace."

Zhong Wuwen’s meaning was very clear: now was not the time to talk.

Zhong Yaoye also understood this and got into the carriage.

Zhang Yufeng and his companions also got off the boat one after another and got into the prepared carriages.

Dozens of horse-drawn carriages marched into Chaotian City and headed towards the imperial palace.

It has been a month since Emperor Showa passed away, and it will take another nineteen days before he can be buried.

Zhong Ruhuang is really busy these days.

Managing Chaotian Pass is already very busy, let alone managing the entire Qinglan Dynasty.

The affairs of the harem are temporarily managed by Huang Guifu Xiao Jin and Sun Guifu.

Sun Guifu is on Zhong Ruhuang's side, and he is a brother of Sun Liushi.

Zhong Ruhuang has not yet had anyone clean up the Phoenix Hall, Emperor Showa's bedroom, so it is temporarily uninhabitable.

Therefore, Zhong Ruhuang lived in Xuanzheng Hall, which was convenient for handling government affairs.

Upon learning that Zhong Yaoye and the others had arrived and entered the palace, Zhong Ruhuang had them taken to the Wohuang Palace.

There was no room available in the harem, so they were arranged to stay in the Wohuang Palace.

Wohuang Palace is a palace where only the princess can live, so it is reasonable to let Zhong Yaoye and others live there.

After all, Zhong Ruhuang had only proclaimed himself emperor in front of the spirit and had not yet officially ascended the throne.

After finishing the important government affairs at hand, Zhong Ruhuang got up and left the imperial study and went to the Wohuang Palace.

There are dozens of palaces in the Wohuang Palace, which are enough for Zhong Yaoyi and others to live in for the time being.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Zhong Ruhuang, wearing a plain white robe with a phoenix pattern and her hair tied up with a large white hairpin, entered the Wohuang Palace.

In the Wohuang Palace, Zhong Yaoye had just allocated living quarters to Zhang Rufeng and the others and was drinking water.

Hearing that Zhong Ruhuang was coming, he quickly stood up to greet her.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

As she said this, she was about to kneel down, holding her six-month-old belly.

Zhong Ruhuang grabbed him and said gently, "No need to be polite, you are still pregnant."

When Zhang Yufeng and the others received the news and rushed over, they saw the emperor and his wife getting along, and they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"The captive servant pays respects to His Majesty."

"Fushou pays respects to the Queen Mother."

"Fuan pays respects to the Queen Mother."

A series of greetings rang out.

Zhong Ruhuang held Zhong Yaoye's hand and looked at Zhang Rufeng and the others.

"Everyone, get up."

Zhong Ruhuang first looked at the children, from Fu Shou to Fu An, one by one, and finally held Fu Yun in her arms.

Fuyun is already seven months old and looks white and plump.

"Mother Queen."

A small, clear child's voice sounded, with a hint of hesitation.

Zhong Ruhuang followed the sound and saw Fu Chun in the arms of the secretary.

She smiled in surprise: "Fuchun, you can call me Queen Mother now."

She handed Fuyun to Liuli, then walked over and held the one year and ten month old Fuchun in her arms.

Zhong Ruhuang has always been worried about this child, fearing that she can't speak.

"Shout again."

"Mother Queen."

"Hey!"

Zhong Ruhuang teased Fu Chun and called out to him several times, unable to hide the smile on her face.
