On September 27th of the fourth year of Yonghe, Emperor Qianyuan abdicated and his throne was crowned Prince Wei.

But the matter was not decided so quickly. According to the regulations, the prince had to cry and resign, but the emperor insisted again and again. Only after three attempts, the name was officially changed.

Of course, everyone has already started preparing for the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

Zhang Chun, who was the first hero to support the founding of the People's Republic of China, had a busy family. People came and went, the concierge was overwhelmed, and the servants were busy. Most people left after handing in posts and gifts. Only some relatives and friends could be invited.

Go in and have a cup of tea.

The male guests were entertained by Zhang Chun's eldest son, while the female family members were accompanied by Zhang Chun's wife.

"Where is Mr. Jiangzhou?"

Are you busy with the new emperor's ascension to the throne?

"I'm going to the academy. I have a few books to talk about and articles to write." Zhang Chun's eldest son said with a smile.

The guests were stunned when they heard this. What kind of academy are you going to lecture on at this time?

"The life of the people has been established, but the sacred science still has a long way to go. My father dare not slack off." Zhang Chun's eldest son replied.

Does it mean that Zhang Chun will not take court affairs as a priority? He will not succeed Chen Shao as prime minister, but will still be his official collation?

Why bother?

However, everyone was relieved immediately. Even if he was not the prime minister, Zhang Chun's life-saving grace to the Queen Mother and his support of the new emperor would ensure that his status in the court would be stable and important in the future.

The hall became more lively and joyful.

In the inner house, people were also laughing and talking.

"Today we have to stay for dinner before leaving." A lady said with a smile, "It's hard to find a cook at your house, so why not come to your house and try out the cooking?"

This statement made other ladies in the room smile and respond, and some people started to order food.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and shook her head.

"What a coincidence," she said, "even if you come to my house, it's hard to find a cook."

The people in the room were stunned.

"The cook is not at home today." Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "I have something to do."

The servants of my family have gone out because of something? Couldn't the mistress call her back with just a word? What could happen to the servants? The mistress's affairs are the most important thing for the servants.

The cook in this house is really... extraordinary.

"Of course it's extraordinary." After leaving the Zhang family, a lady whispered, "Have you forgotten whose family this Banqin cook in the Zhang family originally belonged to?"

The women looked at each other and suddenly understood.

Crown Princess!

No, it’s not just the Zhang family’s cook, there are several cooks in the capital who claim to be trained by the Crown Princess.

Those from other families are just that, they are all sent as apprentices by their own servants, but the cook girl from this family is a real member of the Cheng family, and was given to the Zhang family by the Crown Princess when she was in Jiangzhou.

Now that the Crown Princess is about to become the Queen, the Zhang family's cook, who is a former servant, is not ordinary. How can the Zhang family treat her like an ordinary servant and call her around.

"but."

A lady suddenly thought of something and lowered her voice.

"Can the Crown Princess still become the Queen?"

When the prince becomes the emperor, the husband and wife become one, and the husband is honorable and the wife is noble. At other times, naturally, the crown prince should be canonized as the queen, but at this time, the crown prince is a little different.

"The one who is very ill is in a coma." A lady whispered, "Just like the Supreme Emperor, it has been almost two months."

This is so!

The ladies looked at each other.

That's a serious disease. Even in ordinary homes, it can be treated in another hospital, even if it's seven months old.

"Isn't the Supreme Emperor also awake?" someone said.

"But if the Supreme Emperor is unable to speak or move, it's the same as waking up and not waking up." Some people shook their heads and said, "Do we want to canonize a queen like that?"

At this point, she paused.

"It is possible to pursue the title. I heard that the Queen Mother is already preparing to choose a concubine for the emperor, and Princess Xiu also brought several young women to the palace to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother. I dare not say anything else. At least on the issue of heirs, the Queen Mother and

Princess Xiu should be of the same mind."

…………………………………………………….

Noon is the busiest time in Taiping Residence. There is a long queue of people waiting for a table in front of the door. There is a straw hut set up with several tables and hot tea and snacks.

"We might as well set up a table outside." Someone said, holding a tea bowl and drinking tea. "In summer, you can have cold tofu and you won't be afraid of the heat. In winter, you can have fun and be comfortable and you won't be afraid of the cold."

Others stood in front of the door and read the words on the door plaque.

"This is Madam Cheng's authentic work."

"It's a different font from Maoyuan Mountain."

"Why are you still calling her Mrs. Cheng? She is the Crown Princess, so she is the Queen."

"There are thousands of crown princes and queens, but there is only one, Mrs. Cheng."

"Peace, peace, it is indeed peace with Mrs. Cheng here."

There was chatting and laughing in front of the door, and someone hurriedly came over and squeezed through the crowd.

"Hey, wait in line." Someone shouted quickly.

The man looked back.

This is a young woman who looks ordinary but is dressed unusually.

"Miss Banqin is here." The waiter in front of the door greeted us hurriedly.

It turned out that he was not a diner, so the guest in front of the door ignored him and watched the woman hurrying up the stairs.

"Miss Banqin."

A clerk knocked at the door of a house.

"Miss Banqin is here."

A half-hearted girl said two things.

The door of the house was opened and the girl hurried in and saw Banqin standing up.

"Why are you here?" Banqin said tremblingly, looking at the girl and taking a step back, as if he didn't want to see her.

"Sister Banqin, don't be afraid." The girl said, "There is no news about my wife."

No news is good news. Banqin put his hand over his heart and sat down to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I can't do it, so I don't dare to stay in the capital. I'm afraid that I can't help but run to the palace to find my wife. Hiding here is at least better." She said, raising her hands to wipe her tears.

"The emperor has woken up, and the throne has been given to the prince. The prince is about to ascend the throne." The girl said.

Banqin raised his head and looked at her.

"Then can we see my wife?" she asked urgently. Whether the emperor is awake or dead, whether the prince is enthroned or not, these things that are being discussed by everyone in the capital are of no importance to her.

There is only one problem.

The girl forced out a smile.

"Soon." she said.

Banqin was happy when he heard this, turned around and knelt down to worship the Bodhisattva standing beside him.

Looking at her, the smile on the girl's face turned bitter.

…………………………………….

In the Immortal Residence, Su Xin, holding a calculation chip in her hand, raised her head when she heard the words.

"The old lady said something like this?" she asked.

The girl nodded, the smile she showed just now in Taipingju was not at all on her face, instead it was filled with sadness.

"Yes." Su Xin murmured, looking out the window, "How can they accommodate such a queen? They can only accommodate a posthumous queen. They have gained both fame and profit, and they will not delay the appointment of a new one.

.”

"Sister Su Xin, I'm going to beg the master, we don't want anything else, we don't want the queen, we don't want anything, as long as the wife is returned to us, we can go far away," the girl cried.

"Yes, we can ask for the posthumous queen, as long as they are merciful and hand over the posthumous queen to us." Su Xin said, standing up, "I will go too, I will also go and beg the master."

The girl nodded and quickly stood up.

"There are many people at home, so I have hid out in the academy." She said, "Let's go."

The two of them drove quickly to the academy in a carriage, but did not see Zhang Chun.

"Please, just tell the master that it's Banqin, and it's Banqin who wants to see him." The girl said with tears in her eyes.

The child sighed.
