Chapter 418 Coronation Ceremony
Ji Sheng left Fengluan Palace after dinner.
Cao Zhengxing originally said that he would come again, but he did not appear in front of Zhou Yunshu and Xixi until the evening.
The coronation ceremony is tomorrow. As the protagonist, Xixi is as free as usual. The busiest person is Ji Sheng. He didn't show up until Zhou Yunshu wanted to take Xixi to bed in the evening.
Xixi went to bed very early. After all, she was the protagonist of the coronation ceremony the next day, so she had to get up early and wash up.
Zhou Yunshu and Xixi were woken up by Ji Sheng before dawn the next morning.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Ji Sheng, who looked like he had not slept all night, and could not help but admire his strong energy.
The five sets of dresses of different styles that Xixi will wear for the coronation ceremony today were rushed out overnight by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past few days.
The first one is a dragon robe sewn on both sides with gold thread on brocade.
To be honest, this dress is very heavy. When Zhou Yunshu was holding it in her hand and preparing to put it on Xixi, she asked Ji Sheng, who was feeding Xixi beside her, "How long will this dress last?"
"In about half an hour, we will go to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices. We need to change into sacrificial clothes and recite the inscriptions to the heavens and ancestors..."
Zhou Yunshu felt very distressed when she heard that Xixi had to do so many things today.
She is so young, can she hold on?
Ji Sheng saw Zhou Yunshu's thoughts and said, "This is the ceremony process that I have streamlined after discussing it with the cabinet. It cannot be streamlined any further."
After Xixi finished eating five dumplings, she turned to Zhou Yunshu and said, "Mom, I can do it."
"good."
Because Zhou Yunshu and Ji Sheng were going to accompany Xixi together, she also had a custom-made dress, and like Xixi, she would change as many outfits as Xixi did.
During the coronation ceremony of the new emperor, Zhou Yunshu was too concerned about Xixi and didn't pay any attention to the civil and military ministers and royal relatives around her.
She didn't even care about the King of Huainan, and of course she didn't care about the various discussions people had about her appearance.
After the coronation ceremony was over, Zhou Yunshu, who had accompanied Xixi throughout the entire process, immediately held Xixi in her arms and took the sedan chair back to Fengluan Palace to rest.
On the way back to Fengluan Palace, Xixi was so tired that she fell asleep in Zhou Yunshu's arms.
When she returned to Fengluan Palace, the imperial physician was already waiting there. Only after Zhou Yunshu confirmed that Xixi was just too tired and fell asleep and there was nothing serious did she feel completely relieved.
But Xixi's mission today is not over yet, she still has to appear at the banquet in the evening.
Xixi was the unattainable new emperor at the coronation ceremony during the day, but he still had to attend the banquet in the evening to celebrate with his subjects.
It was not just the imperial palace that was celebrating; the entire capital was immersed in a sea of joy over the new emperor's enthronement.
When Xixi woke up, she nestled in Zhou Yunshu's arms without saying a word.
Zhou Yunshu gently massaged Xixi's body, hoping that she wouldn't be so sore that she couldn't get up tomorrow.
"Mother."
After a long while, Xixi held Zhou Yunshu in her arms and said weakly, "Is being an emperor so tiring?"
Zhou Yunshu paused as she massaged Xixi, then said to her, "This is probably the only time I've felt this tired."
"Then I can do whatever I want tomorrow!"
Zhou Yunshu looked at the expectant light in Xixi's eyes and shook her head, "No."
Xixi pouted and buried her face in Zhou Yunshu's chest.
"Do you remember when you were in Dongchuan?"
"At that time, you will also go to school with your brothers, and it will be the same in the palace."
When Xixi heard this, she looked up and asked, "Then I will have new friends, right?"
Zhou Yunshu smiled and nodded. When the time comes, no matter whether they are royal relatives or high-ranking officials, they will send their children of school age to the palace to accompany Xixi to study.
If there were more people around, she might not feel as lonely as she does now.
"My brother and the others can't come, so can He Zizhen and the others also come to the palace to accompany me to study? I like studying with them! I also like Wu Ciyi, he is the worst student in our school."
But Wu Ci Yi always has some interesting little things, like the poisonous insect on her body, which was taken from Wu Ci Yi.
Xixi suddenly missed Wu Ciyi.
"Not for now. Their parents and relatives are all in Nanzhou, aren't they?"
Xixi was silent.
Her mother also had to return to Nanzhou, but she still had to attend classes in the palace.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Xixi's depressed mood and was reluctant to tell her another bad news.
That means Xixi needs to start attending court starting tomorrow.
Before going to court, Xixi still has to attend class.
In other words, Xixi has to get up at around 3:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, which means she has to get up at 3:00 a.m. in modern time to prepare for class.
After class, we have breakfast, and after breakfast we go to court. After the court meeting, there is a small court meeting. Even though Xixi is just a "mascot" now, she still has to play a role.
At noon, Ji Sheng arranged lunch and a special nap for Xixi. He was also afraid that Xixi, who was too young, would not be able to hold on at this intensity.
But lunch and nap only take an hour and a half, and in the afternoon Xixi still has riding and archery, classics and history, and policy essays...
In short, Xixi can only rest around 10:00 p.m.
Zhou Yunshu was suffocated when she saw Xixi's so-called schedule, but this schedule was also edited by Ji Sheng, the Prime Minister, the Grand Tutor and others according to Xixi's age.
"well."
When Zhou Yunshu heard Xixi's long sigh in her arms, she couldn't help laughing at first, wondering how Xixi could sigh at such a young age.
But when she thought about the days Xixi would face, Zhou Yunshu felt sad again, and her nose turned a little red.
"Xixi, listen to your mother. If you feel tired, you must tell your father and the master. Don't force yourself. You are a child and need to rest."
Xixi hugged her mother's soft back and said, "But they said the emperor doesn't need to rest. The emperor must study hard, work hard, and..."
Xixi couldn't remember clearly, she just felt that being an emperor was really too difficult, and she really couldn't understand why so many people wanted to do such a hard job.
"You must also take good care of your body, because your body is your capital."
"I understand, mother."
Zhou Yunshu looked at her pitiful daughter and said, "Since you're awake, let's eat something first."
I might not be able to eat anything at the dinner party later.
Almost everyone tacitly accepted that someone would cause trouble at the evening banquet.
Zhou Yunshu and Xixi had just finished their meal. Ji Sheng, who had been busy and nowhere to be seen, came back to give them another reminder and had his second meal of the day.
Ji Sheng ate the morning meal with Xixi when she was feeding her.
"Is the dinner about to start?"
Ji Sheng nodded, and after half an hour of eating dinner, he said to Zhou Yunshu and Xixi, "In another half an hour, you will go to the main hall. If any swords are drawn during the banquet, you will retreat immediately."
