Yanjing City was not a monolithic entity. Seeing that the Xia Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, some smart nobles united and surrendered. They took the initiative to open the city gates and let the army led by Wei Guang march straight in.

  At that time, Uncle Wu was still discussing matters with Queen Mother Wu in the palace, and was caught red-handed by Wei Guang.

  Hearing the palace servants hurriedly coming to report the news, Uncle Wu sat down dejectedly on the armchair, "It's over!"

  The process of the succession of imperial power was cruel. Jiang Yanlan did not let go of the Wu family, nor did he let go of those aristocratic families who were fat and extravagant. Blood flowed layer after layer at the East Street Market, and even the cracks in the bricks were stained with a strong smell of blood. Those who were chopped were all nobles who were high and mighty in the past.

  The people of Yanjing City locked their doors and windows and did not dare to go out for half a month.

  Jiang Yanlan was very busy. He was busy with rewarding people according to their merits, appointing officials, and cleaning up the government... Because of the incident with the contraceptive soup, he also discovered his previous mistakes, and he immediately conferred the title of Duke Zhenguo on his father-in-law and the title of Marquis Xuan'an on his eldest brother-in-law.

  There are two dukes and marquises in one family. When Wei Guang received the imperial edict, his hands shook so much that he almost dropped it - is the new emperor sincerely rewarding them, or is he trying to flatter and kill the Wei family?

  The father and son did not sleep all night, and the next day they went into the palace with huge dark circles under their eyes to see their brother.

  After they arrived there, they discovered that Wei Chengyue actually lived with the new emperor in Shengchen Palace. The two of them were like an ordinary couple and never slept in separate beds!

  They entered the palace too early, and Wei Chengyue hadn't gotten up yet. He only got up lazily after hearing the palace servant report that his father and elder brother had come to talk.

  "Dad, brother, you're here?" Wei Chengyue yawned. The weather had just gotten a little cooler, and he put on a thin white fox fur coat. His face had become rounder, and it was obvious that he was pampered and living a very good life.

  Wei Guang and Wei Jinfeng looked at him with complicated eyes. They were trembling with fear outside the palace and couldn't sleep at night, but their little brother was happy and fat. I wonder if he can see the current situation of the Wei family's prosperity behind the raging fire?

  "It's so early, Dad, have you had breakfast yet? Tell the palace servants what you want to eat. The chefs in the palace are better than those outside. Everything they cook is delicious."

  Wei Chengyue slumped in the chair with his head propped up, mumbling to himself and yawning at the same time.

  If it was any other time when his younger brother was so lazy and unruly, Wei Jinfeng would definitely hit him on the head. But now his status and position are different, he can only silently persuade himself not to offend his superiors.

  Wei Jinfeng moved closer and asked in a low voice, "Are you and His Majesty okay?"

  "Okay." Wei Chengyue nodded without thinking.

  The two of them had just made love for half the night last night. When Yan Lan left early in the morning, he wanted to take him with him, but when he saw that he couldn't get up, he left alone.

  Wei Jinfeng was a little anxious when he saw that he didn't understand, but he was surrounded by palace servants and couldn't explain it too clearly. "Your Majesty rewarded my father and me yesterday, one is the Marquis of Xuan'an, the other is the Duke of Zhenguo..."

  Wei Jinfeng pointed at himself, then at his father who was sitting next to him with a big horse and a golden sword.

  "I know. Your titles were thought up by Yan Lan and I. How about it? Sounds good, right?" Speaking of this, Wei Chengyue became much more energetic.

  "No..." Wei Jinfeng was a little anxious. He was about to speak after thinking about his words, when a palace servant suddenly came in and asked, "Breakfast is ready. Do you want to eat it now or later?"

  "Now!" Wei Chengyue's eyes lit up.

  He had not yet been canonized, so the palace people all called him the noble lady.

The palace servant agreed, and soon a row of palace maids came in, each holding a tray in their hands. The wafting aroma of food filled the hall, making people salivate.

  Wei Chengyue had already run to the seat and was waiting, and he did not forget to greet the two of them, "Dad, big brother, come and sit down, we can eat and talk at the same time."

  Wei Guang wiped his face and smiled habitually, "Okay, Dad will eat with you."

  Wei Jinfeng pinched the bridge of his nose. His father was like this in front of his younger brother. He always doted on him and coaxed him, not even willing to say a harsh word.

  "Brother?"

  Wei Jinfeng sighed, "Here it comes."

  Wei Guang and Wei Jinfeng, father and son, had no appetite for the food, but Wei Chengyue ate very happily. While eating, he did not forget to share his favorite dishes with his father and brother to taste.

  The three of them, father and son, are big eaters. But as they were eating, both of them keenly realized that something was wrong - wasn't their Yueyue eating too much?

  This appetite is almost surpassing both of them!

  Wei Guang put down his chopsticks and asked tentatively, "My dear, are you...pregnant?"

  Wei Chengyue was biting into a juicy steamed dumpling. Hearing this, he blushed and said embarrassedly, "No, the imperial physician just took my pulse last week."

  He almost thought he was pregnant, but he didn't control his diet and gained weight...

  When Wei Guang heard this, he became even more worried.

  Wei Chengyue stuck out her tongue, touched her bulging belly, and silently put down her chopsticks. Forget it, eat less and lose some weight...

  After the three of them finished eating, the palace maids quietly took away the dishes and served a pot of fragrant hot tea.

  Seeing his brother sipping the fragrant tea with a carefree look, Wei Jinfeng suddenly couldn't utter the words that were welling up in his throat.

  Wei Guang was the same. The one he felt most sorry for in his life was Yueyue. Because of his tolerance and concession, Yueyue didn't even remember what his mother and father looked like. He was away fighting for many years, so Yueyue was almost raised by his brother. Everyone said that he doted on his little brother, but in fact, he felt guilty...

  Wei Chengyue had no idea what the two were thinking, and he secretly wondered why his father and brother ran into the palace early in the morning just to ask him if he knew that they had been promoted?

  Yes, in the past, every time my father and eldest brother got promoted, they would have a meal together to celebrate.

  Wei Chengyue was amused and was about to make a joke when another palace servant came in to report, "My dear, your enthronement robe is ready. His Majesty sent someone to ask you to try it on. If it doesn't fit, ask them to alter it as soon as possible."

  Anyway, his father and brother were not outsiders, so Wei Chengyue was also curious about what it looked like, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Bring it in."

  The dragon robes of this era were also mainly bright yellow. Jiang Yanlan waved his hand and made his own robe yellow and black, and the queen's robe yellow and red, both of the same style.

  Wei Guang and his son breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the bright yellow color on the tray and the four-clawed golden dragon pattern embroidered with golden silk thread.

  The formal attire for the empress was very complicated to wear with so many layers. Wei Chengyue was very happy at first, but after letting the palace maids wear it for a while, she felt a tightness in her chest for some reason and couldn't help but urge, "How long will it take?"

  "My Lord, it will be ready soon."

  In order to let his father and brother see how he dressed up, Wei Chengyue endured the discomfort and waited until the palace servants put on the tassels, jade pendants and other accessories. Then he strode out of the inner room with great interest, "Father, brother, does it look good--"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but rush to the nearest vase and vomited loudly.

  "Your Excellency?!" The palace servants were in a panic.

  "Yueyue!" Wei Guang and his son also rushed over.

  ...

  When Jiang Yanlan heard that his future queen was unwell, he dropped his official business and ran back without saying a word. As soon as he reached the palace gate, he heard a burst of joyous sounds inside.

  The consul's palace servant hurried out and fell to the ground with joy when he saw him, "Your Majesty, the noble lady is pregnant!"

  "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

  "..." Jiang Yanlan took a moment to react, then slowly smiled, "Okay, pass the order down. Since the queen is pregnant, all the palace servants in Shengchen Palace and Wanshou Palace will have their salaries increased by half a year!"

  All the palace servants were delighted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

  Jiang Yanlan waved his hand and said, "Send someone to Wanshou Palace to announce the good news."

  "yes!"

  The richest man's father and his concubines all live in the Wanshou Palace. There are no regular concubines in this palace, but a lot of concubines will be canonized in the future.

  Jiang Yanlan took two or three steps into the bedroom. He thought he would see a listless little dog, but he was sitting by the window in high spirits. His eyes lit up when he saw him come in. "Yanlan!"

  "Ayue, how do you feel?"

  Wei Chengyue couldn't help but say as he spoke, "I have a child!"

  Jiang Yanlan was infected by his emotions, and her thin lips slowly raised, "I know."

  After saying that, she took a few quick steps and hugged him in front of everyone.

  Wei Guang and Wei Jinfeng looked at the two people hugging each other sweetly, and suddenly felt that they seemed to be asking for trouble? Their little brother and his emperor husband had a good relationship.

  The facts were just as they thought. Half a month later, Jiang Yanlan canonized Wei Chengyue as the queen at the coronation ceremony. He also refused all the beauty contests and stayed with the pregnant queen throughout her pregnancy.

  Once the time was right, Wei Chengyue gave birth to a son as she wished, and Jiang Yanlan could hardly wait to make him the crown prince.

  The ministers of the Great Qi Dynasty had countless grievances against their founding emperor. Don't get me wrong, he was indeed a rare wise ruler who knew how to use people well. Not only did he calm down the chaos that had lasted for decades, but he also allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

  But he doted on his queen too much. Not only did he let the queen attend court to govern the country, he also vigorously opened schools and improved the status of boys and girls.

  He was also a bit eccentric. Whenever a minister secretly recommended his son or daughter, the son or daughter would soon find true love, causing a sensation and making others laugh. However, these people all lived well after marriage. Over time, those families with daughters or sons who could not get married secretly worshipped the emperor, and it was said that the effect was quite good.

As soon as the prince turned eighteen, he couldn't wait to abdicate and become the emperor emeritus, and went out traveling with the queen.

  The former retired emperor was suddenly promoted to the wife of the retired emperor, and he was very dissatisfied with him - this title was too difficult to pronounce, and it made him seem very old!

  "Is Yu'er okay?" Wei Chengyue was riding on a horse. Due to good maintenance, he looked like he was twenty-seven or twenty-eight even though he was almost forty years old. His eyes were clear and bright, and there was not a wrinkle on his face.

  Jiang Yanlan has long black hair and bright peach blossom eyes. No one who sees him would believe that he is the current emperor. "Don't worry, my father, your father, and your brother-in-law are all watching. I also left him two key ministers, Shen Fu and Yao Xuelin. If this configuration doesn't work, he can just abdicate and let others take over."

  Wei Chengyue whipped him lightly with the whip, "How could you say that about your own son?"

  Jiang Yanlan pouted and said aggrievedly, "It was you who wanted to travel all over the country, and I made it happen for you, and you still hit me."

  Wei Chengyue rolled his eyes at him, "What you mean by realization is to capture Yu'er to serve as a soldier for you. Did you plan this long ago?"

  Jiang Yanlan touched his nose guiltily.

  He can't stay on the throne until his death, that would be so boring!

  ***

  Wei Yingying was stunned when she heard the news of the emperor's abdication from several prostitutes. Shen Yuan implemented many policies during his reign, and she gradually guessed that he was a time traveler like her.

  It's a pity that she found out too late. If she had known earlier that she had such a powerful "fellow villager", why would she have bothered to hook up with Xiao Junlin!

  She escaped by seducing the guards and wanted to live a peaceful life with him, but when they ran out of money, the man sold her back to the brothel.

  She is now old and her once vivid memories have slowly faded. She doesn't know when she started to suffer from insomnia all night, fearing the uncertain future...
