"Ah Qing..."

Xie Rang tried to plead for himself, but his credibility with Yun Qing was already close to negative, and he was ultimately ruthlessly suppressed.

The little princess couldn't bear to see her father so disappointed. After a long while, she gently tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "It's okay, Father. I'm only staying with Mother for one night. You can have her from now on, okay?"

Xie Ciying felt that she was very sensible.

Xie Rang raised an eyebrow slightly: "You keep your word."

The father and daughter made their deal in front of Yun Qing, who shook her head with a wry smile.

That evening, Xie Ciying lay in Yun Qing's arms. She thought her mother smelled sweet, so she secretly sniffed her and then tugged at her hair with a hint of worry.

"Mother, will I be a bad crown prince?"

Xie Ciying had heard about her mother's and father's achievements since she was a child, and she admired them greatly. She would also worry in private that she couldn't keep up, so she would work several times harder in order to become a little more qualified.

Yun Qing's gaze softened as she gently patted her back: "Of course not. Ci Ying is outstanding, more capable than many others. If you become the Empress, you can benefit more women. Even if the Great Xi Dynasty doesn't achieve gender equality in later generations, everyone will forever remember your achievements."

"To put it another way, becoming the Empress is your greatest achievement. How could you not be a good one? Just by standing there, you can show everyone that women also have the ability to establish themselves in the court through their own efforts."

"Besides, you have the system, and you also have me and your father. We are always behind you, so don't be afraid. Just keep moving forward."

Xie Ciying nodded vigorously: "I believe in my mother."

...

Yun Qing's words greatly shocked the little princess and she remembered them vividly for many years.

In any case, she absolutely believed it until the abdication edict was given to her.

After turning sixteen, Xie Ciying, who had grown into a young woman, glanced at Shunfeng, the Grand Eunuch of the Imperial Household, who had come to deliver the imperial edict, and was quite shocked: "Mother and Father have already left?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, Shunfeng quickly changed his address to Xie Ciying as His Majesty. He had watched the princess grow up, and now, seeing her again, he had a different feeling.

"hateful."

Xie Ciying held the imperial edict in her hand, her features already showing the beginnings of an empress's demeanor, exuding a noble and imposing aura. In the end, she couldn't help but sigh and only whispered, "Liar."

It looks more like he's just being stubborn.

Shunfeng suppressed a laugh and asked, "What about the coronation ceremony?"

Xie Ciying snorted: "Get ready."

She always had to take on this responsibility.
