The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

The fourth year of Jian'an, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Emperor Jian'an Li Guo issued an edict to the world, adopting Prince of Qin Li Ji as his eldest son.

On the same day, Li Ji was appointed Crown Prince.

The adoption and enthronement ceremonies were extremely grand, and Su Li, the prince's former adoptive mother, attended the ceremony. Even the "seriously ill" Pei Heng dragged his "sick body" to reluctantly attend the enthronement ceremony.

In his words, he didn't want to miss the highlight of Huan Ge'er's life.

Hi, I really learned a lot of new words from Su Li!

Watching Huan Ge'er being crowned by the Emperor after offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, holding the seal of the Eastern Palace and the imperial edict, standing tall and graceful on the high platform, Su Li felt tears blurring her eyes.

Six years ago, when she first came into this world, Brother Huan was not even as tall as her chest.

When they first met that day, Huan Ge'er looked wary, like a hedgehog covered in thorns. He pulled Xi Jie'er, whose face was flushed, and asked defiantly:

"You, are that woman?"

In the blink of an eye, six years have passed.

Huan Ge'er was half an inch taller than her. At 14 years old, he was at the age of youth. After being crowned as the crowned prince, he looked even more majestic and imposing.

"Madam Dingguo, you are so lucky!"

The noble lady who was watching the ceremony couldn't help but try to please him.

"Not only has she married such a good husband, but her adopted son is also outstanding, and now he has become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'm so envious!"

"The Crown Prince has an extraordinary demeanor, which is a blessing to our Daqi. The fact that we have such a crown prince is truly due to the contribution of the Duke Dingguo's wife."

All kinds of compliments came like a tide.

Su Li smiled modestly and nodded.

For this day, Pei Heng even retired and pretended to be sick at home.

As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, and she understands this principle.

The higher you are in a position, the more careful you should be in your words and actions.

For myself and for Brother Huan.

With the previous preparations, Li Ji was enthroned as the crown prince, which was popular among the people, and the relationship between the monarch and his subjects was harmonious.

The only one who was unhappy was the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother had not made a public appearance for a long time. After the ceremony, Huan Ge'er and the Emperor went to her palace to pay a visit.

Because there will be a banquet after the ceremony, it would be unacceptable for the Queen Mother not to attend.

Looking at the two who are now father and son, the Queen Mother has very complicated feelings.

"The grandson pays homage to the royal grandmother."

Li Ji knelt on the ground and paid his respects, and instead of calling the empress dowager, he called her the imperial grandmother.

The Queen Mother's eyes turned red when she was called "Grandmother."

She had been angry with the emperor for a long time, but she couldn't harden her heart when facing Li Ji.

He secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up and helped Li Ji up.

"Good boy, get up."

Li Ji's brocade robe, jade belt, and gold-plated crown made him look even more handsome, noble, elegant, and outstanding.

The Queen Mother was very satisfied and couldn't help but praise him in her heart: what a good man of the Li family! What a good prince of Daqi!

"Grandmother, today the weather is clear and bright. The sweet-scented osmanthus in the Imperial Garden is fragrant, and the chrysanthemums are gradually blooming. Grandmother, you haven't been out for many days. Would you mind your grandson accompanying you for a walk to get some fresh air?"

Li Ji was as gentle as jade, and his voice was soft and pleasant, which made the empress dowager feel comforted.

It is said that good looks can make people happy.

It’s indeed true!

Faced with her grandson's goodwill, the empress dowager's depression of many days inexplicably dissipated.

It’s nice to have such an outstanding, obedient and filial grandson.

It is so much better than having an emperor who is disobedient and deceives him.

"Okay! It's all up to you."

The Queen Mother's mood suddenly cleared up, and all the kindness and gentleness on her face returned.

But only to good grandchildren.

She turned her head and glared at the emperor who was about to follow her, and said coldly:

"You! Don't follow me! I'm getting angry just looking at you!"

Initially, the Emperor thought the Queen Mother had forgiven him when he saw her beaming face. However, after being scolded by the Queen Mother, he still felt very aggrieved.

It was clearly Li Ji who came up with all the ideas, so why was he always the one who got hurt in the end?

Never mind, Li Ji also took it all for him.

He owed Ji'er all this.

In the royal garden.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

After the ceremony, the noble ladies and young ladies gathered in groups. When they saw the Queen Mother appear supported by the Crown Prince, they all surrounded her.

"Your Majesty, this is my youngest daughter."

"Your Majesty, this is my home."

"Her Majesty, and my family."

For a moment, the Imperial Garden was filled with laughter and joy, and was extremely lively.

Across the crowd, Su Li glanced at Li Ji from afar.

He had a smile on his face and was gentle and polite to others.

"His Royal Highness has really changed a lot."

Song Ci was dressed as a military general and stood beside Su Li in a heroic manner.

She now serves in the army, a female general personally appointed by the emperor. She is respected wherever she goes, instead of being ridiculed like before.

"Yes!"

Su Li said with relief,

"I'm very happy that he has finally let go of the past, let go of hatred, and is actively embracing the future."

"Sister, you taught me well."

Song Ci said sincerely.

Without my elder sister, who knows what will happen to the Pei family?

“I dare not take credit for it.”

Su Li smiled softly, "Aci, don't say such things again in the future."

Song Ci was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, sister."

When Li Ji became the crown prince, the person who was most happy was Xie An.

After a long period of rest, the long-term malnutrition was finally restored.

When I first returned to Beijing, I was dark and thin.

Now he has finally regained his image as a handsome young man.

It was also because of this that he finally dared to appear in public.

At this moment, he was bragging to a group of young boys.

"You know what, Prince? That's my brother, the one I grew up with! We skipped classes together, we fought together, and we were friends for life!"

"Xie An, you're bragging again!"

"How can you talk like that!" Xie An was unconvinced. "Go ask around. I played with the prince when he was still in the Marquis of Jinyuan's mansion."

"Everyone knows that. But you said the prince skipped classes and fought with you. That's a lie! Everyone knows that you were the one who skipped classes and fought. The prince is an excellent student with both good character and excellent academic performance! The teachers in the academy can testify to that!"

"That's right! The teachers always tell everyone how obedient, filial, and studious the prince was! He's nothing like you, hahahahaha!"

A group of children burst into laughter.

Xie An was so angry that he jumped up and down.

After venting his anger, he burst into laughter.

That's right, Huan Ge'er has become the crown prince, who would dare to dig up his dark past? Everyone will only glorify him! In the eyes of the world, the crown prince is a perfect man!

Thinking of this, Xie An was no longer angry.

Great! Now he was the only one who knew about the Crown Prince's scandal. He knew that he was the Crown Prince's only confidant.

Li Xun and Li Shou were also very happy.

In the past, they were convinced by Huan Ge'er and followed him around happily, calling him "Big Brother". Now he has truly become their big brother in name and in reality.

No one is worthy of competing with them for the positions of the first and second most important brothers around the prince.

Not to mention Pei Le and Pei Xi.

Ever since Li Ji showed up, Pei Le has been clinging to him like a leg pendant. Wherever Li Ji goes, he goes too.

Li Ji also doted on him very much.

Although he was busy talking to everyone, he would always give his little tail a piece of cake, a candy, a piece of melon, a cup of delicious drink, etc. from time to time.

Pei Le enjoyed his meal along the way.

Later, when they were tired from walking, Li Ji simply held him in his arms, not feeling tired at all, and carried him all the way, which amazed everyone.

Su Li pushed Pei Heng's wheelchair through the flowers.

Looking at the beautiful weather and the harmonious garden, the couple held hands and smiled knowingly.
