Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Things have developed to this point, and it is obvious that the emperor is unwilling to go against the new emperor.

No one has time to figure out the reason for this, and some people even think about the eldest princess. Princess Anqing is the only member of the royal family with the highest seniority in the capital, and she is also the current great-aunt. She may not be able to interfere in other matters, but she can say a few words about the selection of the successor.

Unfortunately, it is disappointing that Princess Anqing also caught a cold and closed the door to see no outsiders.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the imperial edict sealed in the Ministry of Rites could no longer be suppressed. The cabinet can refute it again, but it has already been refuted once before. Refuting it again is obviously tearing the face with the new emperor.

Moreover, the cabinet, and even the court, are not united, and everyone has their own thoughts. It is reasonable for those who have daughters of marriageable age to fight, but why bother for those without daughters.

When people are passionate about something, they must have interests that match it, so that people can make a big bet. So far, there is no certainty of winning, and no one dares to burn their boats.

On the sixth day of the second month of the first year of Jin'an, the emperor canonized Princess Su as the queen, announced it to the world, and the whole world celebrated.

The morning light was faint, but the Kunning Palace was brightly lit.

Before dawn, Yao Niang got up, took a hot bath with the help of the palace maids, and washed her long hair. The palace maids like water rushed up and retreated, a busy scene.

Today is a good day for the queen, and it is also a good day for the entire Kunning Palace. Everyone had a happy look on their faces, and Yao Niang was laughing since she got up, and she kept laughing until Emperor Jin'an couldn't help but look at her and said, "You are so stupid."

But she didn't think so, and she put away her smile after saying it, turned her head and laughed again.

"I'm leaving first, don't panic."

"Your Majesty, I'll see you off."

In theory, the emperor and empress cannot sleep together on the eve of the ceremony of the coronation of the empress. The emperor and empress will bathe and fast for three days, and can only meet on the day of the coronation.

But it is obvious that this so-called rule is just a decoration in the eyes of Emperor Jin An. If he doesn't mention it, naturally no one will tell Yao Niang about it. Therefore, during these three days when he should have bathed and fasted, Emperor Jin An spent a very comfortable time.

Emperor Jin An left, and Kunning Palace continued to be busy.

Until Yao Niang put on the empress's crown and clothes, and checked again and again to make sure there were no mistakes or omissions, she would not stop.

"Your Majesty is so beautiful!"

Yao Niang looked at the person in the mirror. The dark blue Zhai Yi was woven with twelve pairs of Zhai Bird patterns and small round flowers. The red collar, hem, hem, and hem were woven with small golden cloud dragon patterns. There were also jade leather belts, knee guards, and large belts. She wore a crown with nine dragons and four phoenixes, one of the dragons held a big pearl in the middle, a jade cover on top, a pearl knot hanging down, and three bo hairs, which were magnificent.

Yao Niang looked cute and innocent, but she had a charming body. If she sat still, didn't talk or laugh, it would be just right. But once she moved, she was a little more charming.

And this solemn and solemn queen's crown and clothes neutralized her charm. In addition to being beautiful, it also added an inviolable and lofty majesty to her.

Yao Niang also felt that the person in the mirror was beautiful. She had never been so beautiful before, and she was so beautiful that she felt dizzy.

"Second Prince, you must not do this!"

This voice brought Yao Niang back to her senses, but she found that Xiaobao and Erbao had come at some point.

Erbao did not change his nature. He wanted to bump into Yao Niang as soon as he saw her. But Yao Niang spent half a day dressing up, but she couldn't stand his bump.

"Be obedient and stand still. I'll make your favorite braised pork later."

It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but once she did, she let the cat out of the bag. Which queen would say something like making braised pork right next to the ceremony of the queen's coronation?

Xiaobao came up and bowed: "Son greets mother."

This action seemed to remind Erbao, and he hurriedly followed his brother to do it.

Yao Niang smiled and said angrily: "You two little naughty boys, you come to make fun of your mother."

"Today is a good day for mother, you deserve it."

While talking and playing, there was suddenly a sound of bells and drums from afar.

It was just a monotonous drumbeat, and people couldn't even distinguish the melody in it, but it made people feel inexplicably terrified.

"Father has already arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Sure enough, the bells and drums stopped, and the music of "Longping Chapter" sounded again.

The music was very faint when it reached Kunning Palace, but today was the ceremony of conferring the empress, and everyone was paying attention. There was no other sound in the entire Forbidden City except for the ceremony related to the conferring the empress, so even if you were sitting in Kunning Palace, you could still hear it vaguely.

The "Longping Chapter" stopped, and then the "Qingping Chapter" and "Xianping Chapter" sounded.

Yuchan helped Yaoniang up, Xiaobao pulled Erbao away, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs followed and stood at the main hall door.

The festival tables, incense tables, and treasure tables in various places in the courtyard had been set up, and six female emcees had already stood in various places waiting.

From a distance, there was music getting closer and closer.

Yaoniang went down the steps in front of the hall, and as soon as she stood still, she saw Emperor An of Jin wearing a black crown, followed by the chief and deputy conferring envoys and a large group of inner palace ceremonial officers carrying the book and treasure pavilion.

She was a little surprised and a little excited, but she couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

The emperor and the empress talked at a distance of one meter.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Ordinarily, the envoy who conferred the title should be an official from the Ministry of Rites, not Emperor An of Jin. At this time, Emperor An of Jin should be sitting on the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, waiting for the envoy to report that the ceremony was completed.

"I have been wondering if you would look good in this dress."

Yao Niang was a little embarrassed: "Does it look good?"

"Not bad."

Chapter 207

The ceremony of conferring the title to the queen is a major event for a country.

The imperial edict had already been announced to the world, so the whole capital knew that today was the day when the new emperor would be crowned as the empress.

When the sound of the palace bells rang out from afar, the entire Forbidden City and even the entire inner city could not help but quiet down. All the people who heard the sound of the bells and drums could not help but look towards the direction of the palace.

In a luxurious mansion not far from the palace, a woman in a green shirt was turning the soil in the flowerbed with a flower hoe.

When the palace bells rang, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that today was the day when the palace held the ceremony of crowning the empress.

She was a little absent-minded and a little dazed, and a sentence rang involuntarily in her mind, regret it?

If she was less noble and less arrogant, maybe the person who was crowned as the empress would be her.

For a while, many scenes appeared in her mind, including the disgust when she was young, the suffocating feeling of despair, the heartbeat when she saw her, the panic when she was told that she would marry the fifth prince, and the helplessness of not being able to die. There are... a lot of things. Her memory seemed to become clear all of a sudden, and the past events were vivid.

And with these memories, she felt sad, melancholy, and sighed. All these things intertwined together, and became a taste that could not be said to be sweet, sour, bitter, or spicy.

But at the same time, her heart was telling her that she did not regret it.

Maybe the process was bumpy, and maybe there were many filth hidden in it, but this was also an experience, a precipitation, and a kind of transparency after going through thousands of sails.

Think about it, if she had died at the beginning, how could she still taste all these flavors.

Death is so terrible, only living can bring light.

"Auntie, the young prince has woken up and is crying for you." A little girl hurried over and reported.

Xu Yanru smiled and put down the flower hoe in her hand: "I'll go now."

With the issuance of the imperial edict to confer the title of queen, the imperial edict to confer the title of Su family also followed.

This is a convention, which is considered to benefit the queen's mother's family.

Su Xiucai was conferred the title of Cheng'en Hou, Wu was the wife of Cheng'en Hou, and Su Yucheng was naturally the prince. Even the Yao family was rewarded. Yao Cheng was awarded the sixth-rank military cavalry officer. They only received salaries but no real power.

However, in order to correspond to their identities, the two were respectively given the positions of commander and deputy commander of the Wucheng Bingma Division. One was in Dongcheng and the other in Nancheng. Generally, such positions were given to royal relatives, who were given the positions but did not take care of the affairs.

The Su family suddenly changed from ordinary people to royal relatives. Even after several days, they had changed their houses, but they were still a little slow to react. It was not until the whole family entered the palace to thank the emperor that they finally realized that this was reality.

In Kunning Palace, Wu, Hui Niang and Lan Cao were all dressed in the official uniforms of the ladies, and Dong Ge'er and others were also brought.

Before entering the palace, the maids in the palace taught them the rules, so they did not see any impoliteness and performed the etiquette in a proper manner.

"Mother, elder sister, how can I ask you to bow to me."

Yao Niang hurried to support Wu and Hui Niang. Wu smiled and said, "You are now the empress, and your status is not ordinary. You must accept this gift."

Hui Niang and Lan Cao beside them also said the same thing.

Compared with Wu and Hui Niang, Lan Cao was obviously very reserved. He was usually very generous, but today he was a little restrained. Fortunately, Yao Niang was not a person who would argue. She was also able to put herself in other people's shoes. When she first entered the palace, she was also so restrained.

Yao Niang did not talk to Wu and the others in the main hall, but led them to sit on the big kang in the side room where only close people could come. She sat opposite Wu, Hui Niang and Lan Cao sat on the chairs below, and Dong Ge'er and his children stood beside them.

It can be seen that the children had been disciplined before entering the palace, and they were all very well-behaved. Yao Niang felt quite distressed when she saw them, because she had taken care of Dong Ge'er and his children before.

She waved her hand and said with a smile: "Why, you don't recognize your aunt and your sister?"

Seeing the familiar smile on Yao Niang's face, Dong Ge'er and the others found the shadow of their aunt in this noble woman in a gorgeous dress.

"Aunt." Dong Ge'er is the oldest, he is ten years old this year, and he has been with Yao Niang the longest. He took the initiative to come to Yao Niang. He came over, and Yuan Ge'er and Ming Ge'er followed him.

Yao Niang touched their heads one by one and said: "Although there are many rules in the palace, you don't have to be too restrained when you come to your aunt's place."
