Chapter 379 Sit Together

On the day of the coronation, Su Ying and the others got up before dawn.

Mother Zhao led the palace maids to help Su Ying put on the phoenix robe for the grand ceremony layer by layer.

Su Ying let them manipulate her and felt that her waist was about to be broken.

The costumes for the ceremony were particularly complicated, and it was inconvenient for Su Ying to move. "Mother Zhao, loosen it up, quickly loosen it up, or it will collapse when you walk."

Mother Zhao felt sorry for Su Ying. Seeing that her waist was so tightly tied that there was no room for any movement, she rushed forward to help her loosen it up while the hostess was away. After she was done, Mother Zhao stuffed a few more candies into Su Ying's hand.

"If you feel hungry later, take two pills. Be patient, and you'll be fine after the ceremony."

Su Ying took the candy and nodded, "Got it."

The costume is not complete until the phoenix crown is put on.

At this time, Xiao Jin was holding a coronation ceremony. Only after the ceremony would he enter the palace to confer the title to Su Ying.

"When will Xiao Jin's end?"

"Don't worry, Princess. It should be finished before noon."

Su Ying glanced at the hourglass. It was still at least two hours until noon, so she quickly asked Mother Zhao to help her take off the phoenix crown on her head.

"There's still so much time left, why rush? There's no rush."

Mother Zhao was also afraid that Su Ying would be tired, so she asked the palace maid to bring up some snacks and tea.

When the female official saw this, she frowned unconsciously. Su Ying had already eaten several servings of snacks just now, why did she want more now? How much did she want to eat?

In order to keep her dress intact, Mother Zhao helped Su Ying lie down on the soft couch beside her after she had eaten, so that her dress would not easily get wrinkled.

"If you are really tired, please take a nap. I will wake you up when the time is almost right."

Su Ying was satisfied with this proposal, and closed her eyes after Mother Zhao lowered the curtain.

Su Ying felt that she had just closed her eyes when she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.

She sat up from the bed, opened the curtain and stood up.

The door opened at this moment and Mother Zhao walked in.

Su Ying frowned and said, "Mother Zhao, is it time yet?"

"Here we are! The Emperor has entered the palace and will be summoning the Crown Princess soon." As Mother Zhao spoke, she took the phoenix crown and put it on Su Ying. After she fixed her makeup, she saw a team of eunuchs trotting towards her.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess. The Emperor has already entered the palace. Please move to the main hall."

Mother Zhao supported Su Ying and walked out of the inner hall. "When the Crown Princess enters the hall, there is no need to say anything. The master of ceremonies from the Ministry of Rites will naturally take you through all the procedures."

Su Ying nodded slowly, straightened her back and walked out of the hall.

At this time, civil and military officials were already standing on both sides of the hall. When they saw Su Ying coming, they bowed slightly.

When they reached the palace gate, Mother Zhao let go of Su Ying's hand and stood by the door, letting her go in alone.

Su Ying raised her eyes and saw Xiao Jin, dressed in a red-gold dragon robe, sitting on the dragon throne above.

The moment he saw Su Ying, Xiao Jin stood up from the dragon throne.

When the people from the Ministry of Rites saw this, their eyes widened in surprise and they wanted to speak to remind them, but Su Ying had already walked in.

Su Ying came against the light, her fiery red phoenix robe emitting a hot and strong aura under the golden light, like a golden phoenix emerging from the fire, as if it could trample through all the darkness and filth in the world, like a ray of light, shining straight into Xiao Jin's heart.

The corners of Xiao Jin's eyes gradually raised. He walked to the bottom of the stairs step by step and slowly extended his hand towards Su Ying.

Su Ying looked at him in surprise, not knowing why he came down at this time. According to the rules, she should not salute and then stop the seal.

This kid must have been so happy about becoming emperor that he went crazy.

Su Ying reached out her hand, pinched his fingertips with her backhand, and whispered, "What? Should you behave yourself?"

Xiao Jin looked at her face so close to him and smiled, "Well, it's time. Come sit with me and you will be my queen."

Su Ying was skeptical, thinking that all the rules that Ling'er and the others had read to her had been swallowed by a dog.

"Are you sure?"

Xiao Jin held her hand tighter, "Sure, let's go, don't miss the auspicious time."

Su Ying looked at the dragon chair at the top. Never mind. It was just a stool. She just sat on it. "Okay."

Under the gaze of all the civil and military officials, Xiao Jin took Su Ying's hand and walked with firm steps to the dragon throne and sat down.

At the moment when the two of them fell on their buttocks.

"suck!"

There was a burst of gasps among the ministers.

Following Xiao Jin's eye signal, Zhang Shuming took the imperial edict and read out the decree to enthronize Su Ying.

The upright minister jumped out immediately.

"Your Majesty, the dragon throne has always been for the emperor, how can you let the queen sit on it?"

Xiao Jin looked carefully at the minister who was so angry that he wanted to throw his head to the ground, and said quietly, "Sir Wen, did the Queen come to your house a few days ago to save your father's life?"

Minister Wen choked, his expression was very complicated, "Your Majesty, this is what happened."

"I will take this kneeling as your thanks to the Queen. Please leave now."

Minister Wen looked up in astonishment, expressing his bewilderment, "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Jin raised his brows, "Are you not going to thank me?"

Minister Wen choked, "No, that's not what I meant..."

"No, you are still not leaving. I do not want to punish my subjects for being ungrateful on the day I ascend the throne."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Lord Wen doesn't look like an ungrateful person. Sir, why don't you thank the Empress quickly?" Zhang Shuming came out with a smile on his face to smooth things over for Lord Wen.

Lord Wen kowtowed to Su Ying subconsciously, "Thank you, Queen, for treating my father's illness. I will never forget your kindness."

"Okay, now is not the time for you to thank me, please leave."

When Lord Wen returned to his seat, he always felt that something was wrong. What was he trying to do when he stood up just now?

"It's a shame."

A sarcastic voice behind him made Lord Wen realize something, that’s right!

It's bullshit!

Lord Wen turned around in shame and anger, and met Zhu Lin's mocking eyes, which he had not yet had time to retract.

As a censor, Lord Wen has made a note of Zhu Lin in his little black book. Don't let him catch him by the tail! He will kill him!

With the example of Lord Wen, even if the rest of the people were dissatisfied, they just wanted to be quails at this moment. Everyone knew that the Queen had run around and saved many ministers in the past few days, from the Duke of Jingguo to some minor officials, and she extended a helping hand indiscriminately.

What's more, if they angered the queen, she would privately kill them with a single punch. Who could they turn to for justice?

Forget it, just turn a blind eye. The dragon throne isn’t for them to sit on anyway!
