In the end, it was Xiao Tingyun who dissuaded Long Jiu from seeking a beating, thus allowing the commander, who was fishing and playing chess by the lotus pond, to escape.
While Long Jiu was videotaping with Xiao Tingyun, people appeared next to him from time to time holding documents. Although Long Jiu couldn't see the person coming, Long Jiu could find that these people were not the same person.
While Xiao Tingyun was signing the document, he was still busy joking with her. Even though Xiao Tingyun was able to deal with it with ease, Long Jiu still felt sorry for him. Usually, if the two of them were separated in two places, they would often not talk to each other for even one or two times. The hour would never be cut off, but now because Long Jiu felt sorry for him, she was ready to end the video after just half an hour.
Xiao Tingyun was a little surprised and asked, "Is there anything else going on later, baby?"
Long Jiu shook his head and said distressedly: "Brother, you have too many things to do. You should deal with your own affairs well. Tomorrow is the succession ceremony. There must be many things waiting for you to make decisions. I will take care of it tonight. But I came to see you. After you finish handling the matter, have a good rest at night. I will come to see you again after the succession ceremony is over."
Xiao Tingyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "It turns out it's my baby who feels sorry for me."
Long Jiu nodded: "I just feel sorry for you, so be good and I will go to the palace to accompany you after the succession ceremony."
Now that Xiao Tingyun's succession ceremony is coming soon, Nebula College also knows that as Xiao Tingyun's fiancée, she will definitely attend, so she has already applied for an extension for the holidays, not to mention that Nebula College is currently in the middle of the midterm assessment. , even if she doesn't extend her vacation now, it's too late.
And because Long Jiu had extended his vacation, he could spend more time with Xiao Tingyun in the Imperial Capital.
After hearing what she said, Xiao Tingyun originally wanted to say that he didn't have to worry about him being too busy, and that he could ask Long Jiu to go to the palace to find him even tonight. But before he could say anything, the door of the study room was knocked again. , someone came to him again with documents.
Xiao Tingyun glanced at the person at the door, pinched his brows helplessly, and first signaled the people at the door to wait, and then sighed to Long Jiu: "Okay, then I will endure it tonight and wait for the succession tomorrow. After the ceremony, please remember to come and accompany me, baby."
After hearing this, Long Jiu nodded quickly and promised obediently that she would definitely go find him tomorrow night.
The video connection was cut off by Long Jiu under Xiao Tingyun's reluctant eyes, and the virtual screen quickly disappeared.
Long Jiu lay down on the bed with a groan, staring blankly at the ceiling with his big eyes, muttering to himself: "Why didn't I realize that I am so clingy before? I have been so clingy all night. I can’t see you, I’m probably going to have insomnia tonight.”
Long Jiu, who worriedly said that he might have insomnia, was slapped in the face at night.
Facts have proved that not only did she not suffer from insomnia, she also fell asleep early and slept until the next morning without waking up once.
Early the next morning.
After Long Jiu woke up and looked at the time, her expression was a little indescribable.
Probably I didn't expect that not only could I sleep, but I could sleep so well.
Just when Long Jiu was still sitting on the bed holding the quilt, speechless, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Long Jihuai's angry voice came in along with the knock on the door.
Long Jihuai: "Smelly girl, it's almost seven o'clock. Don't sleep in. Get up and wash up quickly. The Fuhua Master and the others are here."
This time the new emperor's succession ceremony was broadcast live throughout the empire. Due to their status, the Long family was in the front row at the auditorium to watch the ceremony. In order not to be disrespectful, the Long family had already booked the best hotel in the imperial city. The makeup team was in place to serve the only eldest lady of the Long family.
Long Jiu turned over and jumped out of bed, and opened the door to the room without even wearing slippers.
Long Jihuai stood at the door and looked at the little dinosaur pajamas that Long Jiu was wearing. Especially when he saw that there was a green tail behind her butt, the corner of the handsome man's mouth twitched suspiciously. The handsome man didn't know what kind of pajamas other people's eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls would wear, but the pajamas worn by his own girl simply made the handsome man look down on him.
You are a nineteen-year-old girl, do you still think you are a nine-year-old girl?
Long Jiu didn't notice the disgust in the handsome eyes. After she opened the door to the room, she turned around and went to the bed to find slippers. Moreover, her slippers matched her pajamas. They were the same style of green dinosaur. After putting on the little dinosaur slippers, Long Jiu went directly to the bathroom.
Long Jihuai watched her green figure swept away to the bathroom like a gust of wind, pressed his eyebrows that danced happily, and said helplessly: "Should we let the makeup artists come in, or should we let them wait in the cloakroom next door?"
Longjiujiu has a specially set aside 300-square-meter cloakroom, which is full of custom-made new seasonal dresses. There is also a huge dressing table next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, which is also filled with all kinds of dazzling products. cosmetic.
But since she changed to Longjiu, she only visited it once and never went into that room again, let alone used the things inside. This was not only because of respect for Longjiujiu, but also because of Longjiu and Longjiu. The aesthetics of wine are different.
Long Jiujiu prefers pink princess clothes, but Long Jiu doesn't like those sweet ones.
This time Long Jihuai suddenly mentioned it. Long Jiu, who was washing his face in the bathroom, paused for a moment, and then said, "Go and wait next door. I'll be there right away."
Long Jihuai nodded, and then asked Uncle Chen to bring up the makeup team.
After Long Jiu finished washing, she went to the next door wearing her little dinosaur pajamas. However, this time she was stunned as soon as she entered.
Because all the sweet dresses that originally belonged to Long Jiujiu in this room have been replaced, the clothes, shoes, and accessories in the entire cloakroom are all brand new, and they all agree with Long Jiu's preferences.
Long Jiu stared blankly at the brand new cloakroom, unaware of Long Jihuai approaching behind him. It wasn't until Long Jihuai let out a sigh that Long Jiu came back to look at him behind him.
Long Jihuai whispered: "This is what Lao Chen replaced after Longyin Star came back after the New Year. They were all chosen according to your preferences. Although you have never come back, Lao Chen releases new models every quarter. Someone will bring it to you and prepare it."
Long Jiu was dumbfounded for a moment, and finally said softly: "What about those in the past?"
Long Jihuai seemed to smile and said: "Old Chen put it in a box and put it in the collection room."
"When did he know?" Long Jiu asked hesitantly.
Long Jihuai lowered his eyes and looked at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "I guessed it when I accompanied you to Xingyun College to enroll. Wouldn't he be able to notice if the child he raised single-handedly has changed? What's more, you It’s not even covered up at all.”
Long Jiu was silent.
Long Jihuai looked at the makeup artists in the room and saw them. He patted Long Jiu's shoulder and whispered: "Don't think too much, go and clean up. It's getting late."
Long Jiu didn't speak, just nodded and walked inside.
Long Jihuai stood by the door and looked at Long Jiu who was surrounded by the costume masters. After watching for a moment, he turned around and left.
An hour later, Long Jiu, who was well dressed, came downstairs.
In the living room, Long Jihuai, Duan Lishu, and Lin Yunzhou had been waiting for a long time. After seeing her come down, Long Jihuai raised his hand and glanced at the time, then stood up slowly and said, "Let's go."
Duan Lishu smiled and stretched out his arm towards Long Jiu, gesturing for Long Jiu to take his arm. After Long Jiu hesitated for a moment, he smiled and said, "The little girl has really grown up. She is so beautiful after dressing up like this." .”
Lin Yunzhou, who was following Long Jihuai, turned around when he heard this and said with a smile: "She is beautiful. Waiting for it to be broadcast live and being seen by everyone in the empire, I'm afraid I will gain a lot of admirers."
"It's a pity that the famous flower has a master." Duan Lishu joked: "No matter how many admirers you have, you can only watch."
Long Jihuai, who was walking at the front, turned around angrily after hearing this and said to the two of them: "She's just a bastard girl, she's not as exaggerated as you said."
Duan Lishu smiled exaggeratedly and said: "Commander, are your eyes blurred by something? Our Jiujiu is so beautiful. If you search all over the Imperial City, you can find a few girls who can compare to our Jiujiu."
Long Jihuai sneered, glanced at Long Jiu, and turned back with a hum.
When the group of people walked outside, Uncle Chen was also there. Uncle Chen looked at the carefully dressed Long Jiu with a smile, his eyes narrowed to a slit, "The young lady looks really handsome in this outfit." After that, he asked again: "Bao. Did Rico bring sunscreen spray? There is nothing to cover the viewing platform. The sun will get strong soon, so don’t get sunburned."
Not to mention, the makeup artist actually stuffed a small sunscreen spray into the small handbag in Long Jiu's hand.
Long Jiu looked at the smile on Uncle Chen's face, let go of Duan Lishu, turned to hold Uncle Chen, and asked with a sweet smile: "Uncle Chen, won't you come with us?"
Uncle Chen was a little surprised to be so close to her, but he still shook his head and said, "I don't."
"Let's go together." Long Jihuai spoke at this moment, interrupting Uncle Chen, "I don't know if we will ever see such a grand event again in this life, so we all go together, and there is nothing to say. Not to be missed.”
The next succession ceremony.
Everyone present thought of Xintei, who was now only in his twenties.
Apart from anything else, if the new emperor reigns for too long, Long Jihuai and Chen Bo, who are already over a hundred years old, may not be able to see them.
But the new emperor will be in the next succession ceremony.
Duan Lishu chuckled and said happily: "I should be able to see it, but the person who holds the succession ceremony next time will be Xiaojiujiu's son, right?"
As soon as Duan Lishu finished speaking, several other people looked at Long Jiu with strange and subtle eyes.
With Long Jiu and Xiao Tingyun's desire to be together all the time, it is certain that the next successor will be their biological son.
Long Jiu: "."
What nonsense are you talking about! ?
Her son?
hehe!
Maybe even after you are buried, you may not have any. Do you really think that dragon cubs are so easy to conceive? If the dragon clan had prosperous heirs, Dahuang would have belonged to their dragon clan long ago.
Long Jiu was a little annoyed by the sight of several people, and said angrily: "This new emperor has not yet succeeded to the throne, and you are already thinking about the next one. Isn't it a bit treasonous?"
Duan Lishu laughed loudly and said, "Oh, are we Jiujiu so angry?" After saying this, he received a glare from Long Jiu. Duan Lishu immediately apologized and said, "Okay, okay, it's uncle's fault, uncle." You shouldn’t make fun of our little wine.”
Lin Yunzhou and Long Jihuai shook their heads and laughed when they saw Duan Lishu begging for mercy so willingly.
But in the end, because the commander spoke, Uncle Chen followed them to the viewing platform.
But in the middle of the way, the Marshal and Duan Lishu did not go to the viewing platform together because they were in official positions. Instead, they entered the palace and prepared to go there with the officials. However, Uncle Chen finally accompanied Long Jiu to the viewing platform first. waiting.
The Long family has a pivotal position in the empire. Even when Xiao Junchen was in power, he did not dare to neglect the Long family. What's more, the new emperor who is about to succeed now relies heavily on the Long family and is even the future grandson-in-law of the Long family. Therefore, among the powerful families in the entire empire, the Long family is the leader. Even the Lu family of Canglang Star is a few points lower than the Long family.
Therefore, the Long family's position on the viewing platform was deliberately arranged in the front and center, the closest position to the coronation of the new emperor.
Long Jiu sat on the viewing seat, looking around calmly with a straight face. Although there was no obstruction here, there were railings separating the seats.
While Long Jiu looked around calmly, many people in the nearby viewing seats were also looking at her.
The people who could sit in the nearby viewing area were all the family members of officials who held high positions in the palace. These people had long heard that the eldest lady of the Long family had been living in the Prince's Mansion since before the palace change. On the day of the palace change, many people knew that he went to the palace with His Royal Highness.
Therefore, after all kinds of rumors, these people were naturally curious about the eldest lady of the Long family.
We all knew in the past that the eldest lady of the Long family was the future crown princess. The late Emperor Zhaoxu had booked her for the crown prince since she was a child. However, Xiao Junchen was the emperor at that time, so many noble ladies were not very optimistic about this in their hearts. Yes.
Unexpectedly, the crown prince defeated the emperor in one fell swoop, and the future crown princess of the Long family also jumped over the crown princess and became the future queen.
Are these noble ladies feeling sour? That must be sour. Which of them doesn't have a girl? Who doesn’t want his girl to fly up the branches? Today's new emperor is not the original prince. Even though the current new emperor has great power, it is not an exaggeration to say that the original prince was in an embarrassing and precarious situation. Although he knew that the prince had a fiancée long ago, he was still the only one in the Long family. Heir, but these ladies are not envious at all. After all, no one knows whether the original prince can successfully succeed to the throne.
However, things are different now. Not only did the prince get rid of the previous emperor, but now he will immediately succeed to the throne and hold great power. These noble ladies began to feel sour in their hearts.
What a wonderful golden turtle son-in-law, and this is not a golden turtle son-in-law anymore, he is really a golden dragon son-in-law.
But although these ladies are sour in their hearts, no one dares to act like a monster. Firstly, the new emperor is not a master who can be manipulated by others. Secondly, the Long family is not just a decoration. Thirdly, and most importantly, , who among the powerful families in the imperial city doesn't know that the new emperor cares deeply about his fiancée. Let alone letting anyone interfere with these two people, even inserting a needle is difficult.
Just as people in various viewing seats were looking around, someone came to the seat next to Long Jiu, and he was an acquaintance.
Mrs. Lu came with the old housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion. As she walked over, the ladies at other seats all stood up and said hello with a smile.
Which of the powerful ladies present is not a human spirit? Who doesn’t know that Mrs. Lu is the aunt of the new emperor, and she is also an aunt whom the new emperor respects very much? Just seeing that Mrs. Lu and his wife were greeted by the new emperor personally when they arrived at the Imperial Star, and they have been living in the Prince’s house since they were picked up. The government can tell that the relationship is close.
Moreover, everyone present did not know that the old housekeeper brought by Mrs. Lu was the housekeeper from the Prince's Mansion.
Mrs. Lu smiled and greeted all the ladies along the way. After seeing Long Jiu, the smile on Mrs. Lu's face brightened. Under the attention of all the ladies, Mrs. Lu directly crossed the Lu family's seat and sat down. He came to Long Jiu's side, holding Long Jiu's hand with a happy and cordial expression and wouldn't let go.
Mrs. Lu's attitude also represented the Lu family's attitude. The eyes of the powerful ladies flashed when they saw this scene.
However, Mrs. Lu, who had come here in a dignified manner before, leaned into Long Jiu's ear and whispered like a child: "I came all the way here just now, and my face almost froze with laughter."
Long Jiu looked at her with a smile and whispered: "I don't like to greet people with polite greetings, but fortunately no one came to say hello to me. Aunt Lin, you should learn from me. No one dares to come in with a straight face. Talked to you."
Mrs. Lu laughed out loud at her words and said happily: "I will learn from you next time." Le Wan stretched his face again, looked at Long Jiu dissatisfied and complained: "Little girl, you stopped last time." Yun Qing called my aunt, I haven’t seen you for just a day, and my aunt doesn’t even call me anymore.”
Long Jiu smiled sheepishly and explained: "Isn't this outside, and my brother and I are not married yet."
"You can't call me aunt if you're not married?" Mrs. Lu retorted: "Besides, you two will get married sooner or later, so you'll get used to it sooner."
Long Jiu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Mrs. Lu, "Just call me aunt. I just like to hear you call me that. Listen to me. Who dares to say anything? Just tell aunt, and she will go to them in person and say, .”
Seeing Mrs. Lu looking at him with a tigerish face, Long Jiu smiled and shouted obediently: "Okay, listen to auntie."
This aunt's shout made Mrs. Lu very happy. She gently pinched Long Jiu's cheek and said happily, "Hey, that's right."
The two of them talked affectionately, just like a mother and daughter. Uncle Chen and the old housekeeper Uncle Qian were also watching with smiles on their faces. The atmosphere here seemed to be quite harmonious.
Until nine o'clock, a bell rang slowly.
Under the viewing platform, hundreds of officials slowly entered the venue. After the officials were in their seats, Xiao Tingyun, wearing an imperial uniform, walked in on the red carpet.
Xiao Tingyun's imperial uniform was newly designed, a black uniform with a golden ribbon hanging on his body, and on Xiao Tingyun's waist, there was also a shining sword.
At this time, everyone in the audience stood up solemnly, and the whole place was silent.
Everyone looked at the young new emperor coming from a distance, watching him step by step onto the viewing platform, and then Long Jihuai in military uniform held out the imperial crown.
Now that the royal family has arrived, there are no other princes or clans. Therefore, Xiao Tingyun handed over the person who crowned the new emperor to the commander-in-chief Long Jihuai. Not only because Long Jihuai’s unrivaled achievements were that he was a star. The backbone of the Luo Empire, and because Long Jihuai was still the grandfather of his fiancée, he was the one to crown the new emperor, and all officials, both civil and military, had no objections.
Everyone watched silently as the new emperor lowered his head to be crowned, then watched silently as he turned to face the audience seat, and then in a state of silence and solemnity, he slowly drew out the sword from his waist and pointed it towards the sky.
The fireworks bloomed in unison at this moment, and everyone in the auditorium, as well as the officials below the auditorium, lowered their heads, placed their fists with their right hands gently on their hearts, and said loudly and uniformly: "I have met His Majesty the Emperor."
At this moment, everyone was saluting the new emperor, except Long Jiu. She quietly looked at Xiao Tingyun, who officially became the emperor, with a bright smile on her face.
The new emperor, who was being saluted by everyone, held the sword pointing to the sky in his hand, but looked quietly at Long Jiu who was watching the ceremony, and then slowly smiled at Long Jiu.
——
From now on, I will dedicate the entire empire to you!
