The day Gu Beiheng ascended the throne was also the day Su Qi was crowned queen.
Su Qi changed into a bright yellow phoenix robe. In Guanju Palace, Qin Wan, Yun Manyu and Liu Qingyin were all there.
Gu Beijing, Gu Beiting, Gu Beihe, and several girls from the second house were also here. Susan and her three sisters were also here. Su Qi also invited Huang Ruxin to come.
"Qiqi. From now on, you are the mother of the Qin Dynasty." Qin Wan put the phoenix crown on Su Qi's head.
Bai Zhi put on the finger gloves for Su Qi.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is waiting for you. He said he would take you by the hand and lead you up to the high platform of the palace."
Su Qi hummed, turned around and saw her four children looking at her.
"Mom, you are so beautiful today."
"Mother is the most beautiful."
Yuebao laughed and said, "Beautiful."
Only Xibao drooled, his mouth slightly open, "It smells good."
Su Qi smiled and turned to walk out.
Following behind him were Ying Yi and others who were wearing official uniforms, and Bai Zhi, Xiang He and others were also wearing the clothes of female officials.
Su Qi walked slowly to the main hall.
Gu Beiheng abandoned all the previous rules. To him, no matter how many rules there were, they were nothing.
He just wanted to hold Su Qi's hand and go up to the high platform of the hall to receive the worship of all the civil and military officials.
Gu Beiheng was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown on his head. He looked through the crowd and looked at Su Qi with a smile.
He walked towards Su Qi.
Finally, he stood opposite Su Qi, his eyes as gentle as water. He stretched out his hand and waited for Su Qi to put her hand in his big hand.
Su Qi gently placed her hand in Gu Beiheng's hand.
As he climbed up the platform of the hall step by step.
Gu Beiheng's eyes flashed with the sight of Su Qi returning from the Northwest, the scene on the road to exile, and Su Qi's desperate efforts to find him. Unconsciously, he thought of the torture Su Qi suffered in the underworld in his dream.
Just to show my dissatisfaction and to give them a chance to start over.
"Qiqi, I will never let you down in this life. In the next life, or in all the lives to come, I will never let you down." When they arrived at the high platform, Gu Beiheng turned around and whispered in Su Qi's ear.
Su Qi's eyes were filled with tears.
Her efforts were not in vain after all.
She believed that the husband standing beside her, her young lover, had grown up.
"Beiheng. I believe you."
The two held hands tightly and accepted the worship of civil and military officials.
In order to accept the homage of all officials together with Su Qi, Gu Beiheng argued vigorously in the court. He almost angered several Confucian scholars to death, and many civil officials wanted to blackmail Gu Beiheng.
The generals who followed Gu Beiheng to conquer the world did not speak either.
Everyone was just playing with a few jade pendants in their hands.
The civil officials took one look and instantly fell silent. The jade pendants were all worn by their descendants. It was obvious what they represented.
He had no choice but to change all the procedures for ascending the throne with tears in his eyes.
According to Gu Beiheng.
First, he issued the edict of enthronement, and read out a bunch of words that Su Qi couldn't understand. He only heard that he was informing the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country, and then he ascended the throne.
Then came the change of name and a general amnesty. From then on, there was no longer a Dashun, a Nanli, a Dai Viet, or a Dongqi. Only the Daqin.
Su Qizhan's legs were shaking, and the coronation ceremony was finally over.
Then the imperial edict to confer the title of empress was read out, but Su Qi didn't pay attention. She was definitely not the one who was virtuous, good at arts and history.
All the imperial seals and imperial books representing the queen's status were presented.
Bai Zhi took it.
Next, all officials came to pay homage.
After doing all this, we have to go to the Taimiao.
When he returned from the Taimiao, Su Qi felt that even walking was a strain on himself.
Back at Guanju Palace, Su Qi quickly took off the phoenix crown from her head. She stretched her neck and couldn't help but sigh. "This is too heavy."
"My Lady, I have placed a number of flower petals in the bathtub. Please soak in it for a while."
"Okay." Su Qi followed Xiang He to the bathhouse in Guanju Palace to take a bath.
She also didn't notice that Dabao, Erbao, Yuebao and Xibao were not in the palace.
When Su Qi stood up, she found that Gu Beiheng had been sitting next to her without her noticing.
"What are you doing here?"
"Come and see my queen." Gu Beiheng handed a bright red nightgown to Su Qi.
He picked up a dry towel and wrung out Su Qi's hair.
"Qiqi. Today is my wedding night for you." After saying that, Gu Beiheng picked up Su Qi and went to the room.
Su Qi was so scared that she pounded him several times, "Put me down. We are already an old couple, who would want to spend their wedding night with you?"
Gu Beiheng smiled without saying anything, and carried Su Qi to the bedroom.
The bed was covered with a red quilt embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, and covered with red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, and longans. There was also a special smell in the room, a light fragrance that filled the air.
The burning red candle is jumping with sparks.
Gu Beiheng carried Su Qi to a chair, and there were wine glasses and dishes on the table.
"Have a drink with me."
The two first drank the wedding wine, and then cut their hair again and put them together.
Su Qi couldn't understand why Gu Beiheng insisted on doing this. Gu Beiheng said that this was a real wedding he owed Su Qi.
The two looked at each other, their watery eyes filled with affection.
In the mandarin duck tent.
Gu Beiheng told Su Qi how much he loved her.
The sun had just broken the horizon.
Su Qi was vaguely awakened, and when she looked again, Gu Beiheng had already gotten up.
She raised her weak arms. Su Qi said in a soft voice, "I can't get up."
"You sleep a little longer. I'm going to court first." Gu Beiheng wore his court robes. "Today is the day for me to bestow rewards. Is there anyone you want to reward in particular?"
"No." Su Qi waved her hand and fell asleep again.
Gu Beiheng left with a smile on his face.
In the court.
The first to receive the title was the Third Prince of the former Dashun Dynasty, who was buried as a prince of a different surname from the Qin Dynasty. The only surviving member of his wife's family also received a reward.
Next came Military Advisor Mo, Li Tianfang, Qiu Aotian, Li Dapao, Zheng Suocuo, Shen Zhishan... and those who followed Gu Beiheng in his battles.
Some are happy, some are sad.
As the rewards were bestowed, everyone understood that the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty was not a master who could be controlled by others.
Gu Wushen was granted the title of Marquis. However, he could not stay in the capital, but returned to Jinyang Prefecture. He received an annual salary and food to live on, which was already very good news for Gu Wushen.
It was also at this time that Gu Wushen learned that Liu Qingyin was still alive.
Seeing Shen Dashan accompanying Liu Qingyin, Gu Wushen finally did not go over.
Liu Qingyin was named Lady of Shun State and received the same salary and food. The difference was that there was no restriction on where she could live. Liu Qingyin knew that she would return to Changshan Mansion with her and Shen Dashan.
The fact that she is the adoptive mother of the current emperor will also be known to everyone.
After the reward ends.
Gu Beiheng retired from court and returned to Guanju Palace.
The palace is very lively today.
Liu Qingyin and the others are all in the palace.
Shen Dashan was no longer indifferent to fame and fortune, and he also understood Gu Beiheng's intention in sending guards to protect them. Following Liu Qingyin and the others to visit the Imperial Garden, he couldn't help but marvel at the vegetables there: "Look, our emperor and empress are better at farming than the peasants. They are truly the best at everything they do."
After Shen Dashan left the capital.
Back in Shenjiazhuang, everyone was talking about how good the current emperor and empress were at farming: the high grain yields, the lush vegetables, and the excellent fruit varieties they cultivated.
Soon the whole Qin Dynasty knew that the emperor and empress were clearly the chosen ones.
Let them bring a comfortable life to the people.
In the past, one mu of land could produce at most two dan of rice, but now it can produce five or six dan. As for coarse grains such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, the yield is even higher.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng also have a very high reputation among the people.
In addition, the medical school promoted by Su Qi made it possible for many people to get sick without worrying about not having a doctor or medicine. For a time, Su Qi's reputation among the people was slightly higher than Gu Beiheng's.
