For Zhong Ruhuang, since months are used instead of years, she only needs to observe mourning for three months, so this is no problem for her.

It's just right. She can use this time to familiarize herself with the government affairs and get started as soon as possible.

Therefore, from August to October, she rarely went into the harem. Even if she went there, she only came to see the children and left after that, and did not stay overnight.

At the same time, the secret guards left behind by Emperor Showa were also taken over by her.

The leader of the secret guards is Hou Songlin.

Hou Songlin handed over everything she knew to Zhong Ruhuang, then resigned from the position of leader of the secret guards and went to the Mausoleum of Emperor Zhaohe to guard the tomb for Emperor Zhaohe.

To her, Emperor Zhaohe was someone she was loyal to. If she had not needed to assist Zhong Ruhuang for a period of time, she might have followed Emperor Zhaohe to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Fan Yu was good at martial arts and was a first-rate master, so he became the leader of the secret guards, used to collect information for Zhong Ruhuang, spy on intelligence, and secretly investigate court officials.

What’s interesting is that the deputy commander of the secret guards is actually a man, and a man who has just reached the age of 15.

Hou Songlin also explained this matter when he went to the imperial mausoleum. In order to control the secret guards, the commander of the secret guards is usually a close person, and the deputy commander of the secret guards hides in the dark, handling all kinds of dirty things, and needs to be loyal.

Moreover, the deputy commander of the secret guards usually serves the queen, but it is not known to others.

The current deputy commander of the Dark Guards, Ying Rushi, is the successor selected and rigorously trained by the previous deputy commander of the Dark Guards.

As for the former deputy commander of the secret guards, he had been buried alive and had drunk the poisoned wine on his own initiative.

Being able to follow Emperor Showa for many years without being known by anyone, she naturally loved Emperor Showa so much that she didn't want to live alone.

Zhong Ruhuang had naturally met the deputy commander of the secret guards, Ying Rushi, an extremely cold beauty.

Such a cold and beautiful woman naturally made Zhong Ruhuang's eyes light up.

However, she knew that he was in mourning, so she did not take any action against him, but let him continue to hide.

During the days of mourning, Zhong Ruhuang was very busy.

In the past, when he was at Chaotian Pass, Zhong Ruhuang was very busy in the first two years after he arrived at Chaotian Pass, but he had a lot of free time after he got the job.

If the second princess had not suddenly rebelled, Zhong Ruhuang might have continued to have nothing to do.

Managing the huge Qinglan Dynasty is really busy for Zhong Ruhuang.

Fortunately, she ascended the throne legitimately, so the eldest princess and the others did not dare to get angry and they all behaved well.

Even the Third Emperor's daughter, Zhong Jinhuang, who was not very convinced, fell silent when her father, Zhang Taixian, moved into Shou'an Palace.

She suddenly remembered Emperor Showa's last words, and thought about her husband and children.

She still has her father to consider, so she can't be as willful as before.

Especially when she wrote a letter to invite Zhang Taixian's husband to her Qing Palace to take care of him, she was rejected by Zhong Ruhuang with a smile.

Zhong Ruhuang is not stupid, so how could he easily let Zhang Taixianfu leave the palace and go to Prince Qing's Mansion? With him around, the third princess Zhong Jinhuang could be more obedient.

So, the third princess Zhong Jinhuang became obedient.

On the third day of September in the first year of Zhengtong, Yu Qiucao gave birth to the eighth prince.

When Zhong Ruhuang learned that he had given birth to a prince, she was very disappointed, so she only rewarded him with things and did not promote Yu Qiucao.

Zhong Ruhuang gave the newly born eighth prince the nickname Meimei.

As for a name, one has to wait until the child is one year old before he or she can be given one.

Zhong Ruhuang saw the child once. He didn't look like her. Instead, he looked very much like Yu Qiucao. He looked like a fox. I guess he would be a little fox when he grew up.

I just don't know who will be the wife of this eighth prince in the future.

Because the mourning period had not yet ended, the third-day bath and full-moon ceremony were not held. The various palaces only gave Yu Qiucao gifts as a celebration.

In the blink of an eye, it is October.

After October 26th, Zhong Ruhuang's mourning period will be over.

To be honest, she has been a vegetarian for four months.

Throughout the palace, except for a few children who had meat every day, Zhong Yaoye, the pregnant husband, and Yu Qiucao, a woman in confinement, everyone else ate vegetarian food.

The same goes for Zhong Ruhuang.

These days, Zhong Ruhuang has been sleeping in the Xuanzheng Hall.

As for the Phoenix Hall, it was being renovated and repainted.

After all, this is the palace where Emperor Showa lived, so it still needs to be cleaned up.

On October 20th of the first year of Zhengtong, Zhong Yaoye was also born.

He gave birth to a princess for Zhong Ruhuang, the sixth princess.

Zhong Ruhuang was very happy about this. Zhong Yaoye's position had already reached the highest point, so all the rewards given to him were very generous.

The Sixth Princess's nickname is Fulian. She doesn't look like Zhong Yaoye, but more like Zhong Ruhuang.

The fifth princess Fuyun was only ten months old, and her father, the queen, gave her a biological sister. This was truly a cause for celebration.

There were still six days before the end of mourning, so the sixth princess Fulian’s third-day bathing ceremony was not held, but the full moon ceremony could be celebrated in a grand manner.

Soon, October 26th passed and Zhong Ruhuang officially no longer had to observe mourning.

The plain clothes in the palace no longer needed to be worn, and the entire palace suddenly became colorful.

Zhong Yaoye is still in confinement after giving birth.

The Chun'en Room has already prepared the Chun'en cards for the masters of each palace to sleep with.

Therefore, on the day of mourning, Eunuch Cao, the head eunuch of Chun'en Fang, personally carried a tray and entered the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to turn over your cards."

Zhong Ruhuang was reviewing memorials. Although Emperor Showa was old and senile, he had not caused any trouble. In addition, due to Zhong Ruhuang's status as a congenital master, all the civil and military officials were honest.

She is now gradually getting the hang of it and has a good understanding of the Qinglan Dynasty's background.

The succession of the throne in the Qinglan Dynasty has now gone smoothly without any major disturbances.

Once she has completely sorted out the affairs of state, it will be time for her to take action.

Anyway, the struggle for the throne between the Pingning Dynasty and the Shengyun Dynasty has not yet been decided, so she can take advantage of the situation.

When Zhong Ruhuang thought of this, a smile appeared on her face.

"It's Mo Shufu."

As he said this, he flipped over Mo Ruxian's sign and put it upside down.

She has been a vegetarian for four months, so she naturally won't let herself be wronged.

So, Mo Ruxian, who lived in Suirong Palace, the first of the six western palaces, received the news from Chun'enfang.

In the evening, Zhong Ruhuang was going to Suirong Palace.

Mo Ruxian was bewildered.

He is just a beautiful piece of trash.

I can do nothing but eat.

He didn't even realize his current status. He was the only one with the highest status in the harem besides Zhong Yaoye, the emperor's husband, and was a second-rank virtuous husband.

The only one who was on equal footing with him was Bai Songying and Bai Liangfu, who gave birth to the second princess Fu'an.

Everyone else, including Zhang Yufeng and Sun Pannu, had to bow when they saw him.

Both of them gave birth to boys. Although their family backgrounds were good, they were not very good, so they were noble princes of the second rank.

Qingyun was very happy to hear that His Majesty had finished his mourning and would be going to Rong Palace next year.

It seems that His Majesty is still concerned about his master.

Although I am concerned about my master's health, it is still a concern.

So, he looked at Mo Ruxian, who was in mourning and had his face covered in grease from eating the roast chicken, and rubbed his forehead helplessly. He walked over a few steps and confiscated his roast chicken.

"Master, His Majesty is coming soon, please go take a bath and change your clothes."
