Chapter 422 What to do, I’m about to give birth
Seeing that Lu Wanyin was very interested in this specially made phoenix crown, the palace servant happily introduced it: "Your Majesty ordered people to make several styles of phoenix crowns. This one is the lightest. Your Majesty specifically instructed that it be used today."
Lu Wanyin felt warm in her heart and stretched out her arms: "Let's change clothes."
All officials have gathered in the Taimiao.
When an emperor ascends the throne, he must first inform his ancestors.
The Taimiao, which was always crowded in previous years, could now easily accommodate all the ministers in the court.
Lu Wanyin rode in a sedan chair and got off only when she reached the gate of the Taimiao.
The Taimiao is an important place. In the past, even the emperor had to walk here.
Lu Wanyin is the first one in history.
Hearing the noise at the door, Xie Jingci, who had arrived at the Taimiao earlier, ran to the door to greet him.
Everyone in the Taimiao felt that something was wrong, but no one dared to say a word.
Those who have ill intentions towards Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci are no longer here.
Xie Jingci personally supported Lu Wanyin and walked to a higher place.
He kept looking at Lu Wanyin's face, almost unable to move away.
This was the first time he saw Lu Wanyin dressed so gorgeously.
His wife was already extremely beautiful, and now she had specially put on rouge and dyed her eyebrows, which made her look even more captivating.
"What are you looking at?"
Lu Wanyin pulled him dissatisfiedly: "Are you going to stand here all day?"
Xie Jingci came to his senses and realized that the two of them had already reached the stairs without him knowing.
Just above the steps, there are two futons.
Xie Jingci helped her up the stairs, then turned around and helped her sit on a chair beside him.
Before anyone could recover from their shock, Xie Jingci knelt on the futon closest to Lu Wanyin and said, "Let's begin."
The ministers were shocked: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with etiquette."
"My words are etiquette."
Xie Jingci's eyes turned cold: "The Queen is not feeling well, are you going to embarrass my Queen?
If our ancestors don’t bless us, my wife and I will protect Da Sheng.
Don't forget what you are supposed to do now, keep going!"
The ministers fell silent instantly.
Xie Jingci's cold voice reminded them of the secret killings in the imperial city in recent days.
No one dared to raise any objection.
But the news that the emperor knelt down to listen to the ancestral teachings according to the law today, while the empress sat quietly on the side, was destined to be unforgettable for them for the rest of their lives.
Before the coronation ceremony began, all the civil and military officials had already realized that the future emperor and empress of Da Sheng would probably be extraordinary.
After the lengthy eulogy is read, the next step is the coronation ceremony.
All the officials were about to stand up and go to the Golden Palace to watch the emperor ascend the throne, but they found that no one stood up.
There were footsteps coming from the side.
Old Master Hou was supported by Hou Yuanji and walked to the cushion beside Xie Jingci, knelt down, and kowtowed respectfully towards the ancestral tablet on it.
Then, under the astonished gazes of the ministers, the old man cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I have come here today only to restore the new emperor's reputation in the presence of all your ancestors."
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.
What does this mean?
Correction of name
Is this to justify the new emperor's reputation as a traitor?
But even if we don't do these things, who in the world would dare to have any opinions?
Old Master Hou took in the expressions of the ministers below him and said, "You may not know this, but General Xie is the true Prince of Dasheng..."
Just at the beginning, the three views of the ministers present were shattered.
In the entire Taimiao, there was only the voice of Old Master Hou.
It turned out to be just an old story of replacing the prince with a cat.
There was never a traitor named Xie Jingci, but rather a simple and indifferent General Xie who was forced into a desperate situation and had to take revenge to correct his bloodline.
This was something they had discussed with Mr. Hou a long time ago.
The human heart is the most unpredictable thing.
You can control other people’s mouths, but you can’t control their hearts.
Lu Wanyin didn't want people who didn't know the truth to secretly think that Xie Jingci was a traitor.
He shouldn't bear such a stigma.
Mr. Hou’s eloquent words left the ministers stunned for a long time.
By the time he finished speaking and was about to return to the Golden Palace according to the procedure, Xie Jingci had already walked to the door with Lu Wanyin, and everyone else had not yet recovered from the shock.
Today's excitement is really too great.
"What are you all standing there for?"
Xie Jingci's cold voice startled everyone present.
When they came to their senses, the two protagonists had disappeared.
"Hurry, hurry, let's go quickly. If we are late for the coronation ceremony, we, as ministers, will not have a good ending."
"I'm so sorry, Your Majesty, please wait for me, this old minister."
"Master Liu, why are you running so fast? I'm already old. Please wait for me."
A group of ministers with excellent etiquette were so hurriedly crowded together that a stampede almost occurred.
With the rectification of Mr. Hou's reputation as a prelude, the coronation ceremony went very smoothly.
It's just that the process is a bit too complicated.
Lu Wanyin was approaching her due date, and even though Xie Jingci had given her special privileges along the way, she still felt a little tired at the end of the day.
The people who presented the gifts had not left even after three hours.
Lu Wanyin sat next to Xie Jingci and looked hungry.
She poked Xie Jingci in dissatisfaction: "What kind of thing is this? Being stared at by so many eyes, and clearly bringing a mountain of delicious food, but not being able to eat it, isn't this torture?"
In previous years, when the emperor ascended the throne, the entire process combined did not take as long as the gift-giving process.
Xie Jingci squeezed her hand and said, "Xuan Qi, bring up the prepared snacks."
The people who were offering their treasures below were all stunned.
He subconsciously glanced at what he had offered.
It is a rare medicinal herb.
Could it be that this thing made the new emperor of Dasheng hungry?
After a while, Xuan Qi came in with a group of palace maids and served several plates of snacks to each table.
He casually picked up a dish of Lu Wanyin's favorite and held it in front of Lu Wanyin: "Madam, it's inconvenient for you to bend over. If you want to change the taste, just tell me."
Having said that, Lu Wanyin didn't hesitate and pinched a piece of dessert and put it in her mouth: "Not bad, Xuanyi's craftsmanship is getting better day by day."
People from all major forces who came to offer gifts were all dumbfounded.
Why is the new emperor of Dasheng so...eclectic?
In comparison, the officials of Da Sheng were much calmer.
A group of outsiders who have never seen the world.
They had just seen the world in the Taimiao.
In front of the queen, their new emperor didn't know what the rules and principles were.
Their queen doesn’t even have to kneel to her ancestors.
After the process was officially completed, Xie Jingci officially became the new emperor of Dasheng, with the reign title "Yongchang".
The ministers in the hall shouted "Congratulations to Emperor Yongchang". Lu Wanyin, who was beside Xie Jingci, had already finished two plates of snacks.
Xuan Qi's brows twitched as he watched from the side.
Madam's appetite is still as strong as ever.
"It's finally over."
When I followed Xie Jingci out of the Golden Palace, it was already dark.
Lu Wanyin stretched lazily, feeling her bones stiffen: "Finally free.
I ate too many snacks and felt a bit sick.
My dear, I heard that the Imperial City is very lively tonight. There must be a lot of delicious food. Let's..."
Lu Wanyin's voice suddenly stopped.
She suddenly tightened her grip on Xie Jingci's hand, and remained silent for a long moment before she uttered a few words in a calm voice.
"What should I do, husband? I think I'm going to give birth."
