Nina didn't know what choice Princess Xinya would make, but she knew that no matter what she chose, the princess could not return to Dayu.
Neither Nina nor Rose could help Princess Xinya, so they had to find ways to make her happy by getting her some food.
Some are happy while others are sad, but no matter what, life goes on.
Three days passed in a flash, and today was the day of the new emperor's enthronement and the ceremony of establishing the empress.
Early in the morning, all officials and their families got up early to prepare.
The Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites were also very busy, but fortunately Shangguan Lingyun had already sent people to prepare everything.
The palace maids brought the emperor and empress's dresses. Ye Xiaoxiao frowned as she looked at the heavy dresses and accessories.
"The ceremony is a bit long, you should eat something and drink some water."
Shangguan Lingyun gently reminded Ye Xiaoxiao of some precautions, and Ye Xiaoxiao nodded helplessly.
Tianxuan called the palace maids to come and help her wash and put on makeup. After about an hour of hard work, Ye Xiaoxiao was finally dressed up.
The same is true for Shangguan Lingyun, but compared to Ye Xiaoxiao, Shangguan Lingyun is busier.
He had to go to the meeting hall to preside over the morning court first, and then take Ye Xiaoxiao to attend the ceremony.
In the meeting hall, the court officials were discussing something.
When Shangguan Lingyun arrived, everyone immediately shouted "Long live!"
With the help of his father-in-law, Shangguan Lingyun directly ascended to that high position.
"My dear ministers, please excuse me."
All the court officials knelt down and stood up again, and then today's morning court session began.
Since Shangguandu was still there, the country's name was still Daxia, but Shangguandu became the emperor, and Shangguan Lingyun's mother became the empress dowager.
Other concubines and royal heirs also became corresponding concubines and princes and princesses.
After conveying Shangguan Du's intention to stay in the palace to all the court officials, the morning court affairs were almost settled.
"The coronation ceremony is about to begin. Everyone, please come in."
Shangguan Lingyun and Ye Xiaoxiao went to offer sacrifices to heaven first, and then the two returned to the court together to accept the worship of all officials.
After a series of tedious rituals, Ye Xiaoxiao felt like her neck was about to break.
After finally waiting for the palace banquet to begin, Shangguan Lingyun took her back to change clothes.
After the two of them changed into relatively light clothes, they returned to the hall where the palace banquet was held.
"Your Highness, your Highness, may your Majesty live forever, and your Majesty, may your Highness live a thousand years."
"My dear ministers, please stand up."
The two of them came to the high seat together. Ye Xiaoxiao looked down at the crowd below the palace banquet and couldn't help sighing in her heart.
[No wonder those ancient people would rather kill their fathers and brothers to ascend to high positions. Such positions are indeed comfortable.]
As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao finished her thoughts, everyone in the Ye family looked at Shangguan Lingyun beside her with a nervous look on their faces.
At this moment, Shangguan Lingyun was holding Ye Xiaoxiao's hand, so every word of her thoughts fell into his ears.
He looked at Ye Xiaoxiao lovingly, then raised his glass and looked at the people below the stage.
"Everyone, today is a happy day. The Queen and I would like to offer a toast to you all."
When the new emperor and empress toasted, the court officials naturally dared not disobey.
After drinking a glass of wine, Eunuch Yu immediately clapped his hands, and as the music sounded, the dancers began to dance gracefully.
The people below the stage ate and watched. Shangguan Lingyun saw that Ye Xiaoxiao looked a little tired, so he exchanged a few polite words with the court officials and then took her away first.
The palace banquet continued. Without the presence of the emperor and empress, everyone felt much more relaxed.
Especially some unmarried young men and young ladies from wealthy families became more active.
Today is a rare day for a man and a woman to sit together, so they naturally would not miss such a good day to meet each other.
What's more, today is an auspicious day for the new emperor to ascend the throne and establish the queen.
Seeing that everyone was moving, Mrs. Wang also became eager to take Wang Muyu with her.
When Prime Minister Wang saw her actions, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Wang was suddenly stopped by Prime Minister Wang and gave him a look of displeasure.
"It's a rare opportunity today. You, as a father, don't care about it. How can I, as a mother, not care about it too?"
Prime Minister Wang did not expect Madam Wang to be so impatient, and his expression became even more unfriendly.
"You'd better keep quiet. If you cause any trouble, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between husband and wife."
Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, without even looking at Prime Minister Wang, and pulled Wang Muyu out.
Prime Minister Wang was speechless, but with so many people around, he didn't want to embarrass himself, so he could only let them go.
After Mrs. Wang and Wang Muyu left, Wang Muxue also stood up.
"Father, I want to go and pay my respects to Concubine Jing. I hope you will allow me."
Prime Minister Wang glanced at his well-behaved eldest daughter and nodded with satisfaction.
"Go ahead. Your aunt has done a great favor to our Wang family. If you have time, you should visit her more often."
Wang Muxue nodded, and Prime Minister Wang let her go.
However, as soon as she left, Ye Chang followed her.
"Mu Xue, where are you planning to go?"
Wang Muxue did not hide it, and Ye Chang immediately expressed his desire to accompany her.
Wang Muxue hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed.
"That's fine. You and I are getting married soon, and Auntie definitely won't be able to attend our wedding. We might as well go talk to her first."
So, the two of them went together towards the palace where Concubine Jing was.
Just as they left, Mrs. Wang and Wang Muyu came out from not far away.
"This pair of bastards haven't even gotten married yet, and they're already hooking up. How shameless!"
