The member of the Royal Guard smiled awkwardly and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Xia is really humorous."
"You will be safe. Your personal guards cannot enter. Only you can enter."
As he spoke, he called a female guard and took Xia Chujian in.
Xia Chujian felt a little regretful that Huo Yushen would not be able to see her heroic appearance when she was awarded the title.
But then I thought, Huo Yushen and the others could also watch the live broadcast outside...
That's okay.
With a smile on her face, she followed the female guard into an antique car and entered the place where the titles were awarded.
She was taken to the square outside a hall in the imperial palace.
Xia Chujian had never been to this place, but he saw a plaque hanging on the main hall with the words "Yingwu Hall" written on it.
There is a thirty-six-step staircase connecting the square to the main hall.
Above the steps is the Danbi in front of the main hall, which has been arranged as a venue for the conferment ceremony.
The flag of the Beichen Empire fluttered at the entrance of the hall.
The live broadcast equipment has also been set up.
The female royal guard who had brought her in just now had disappeared.
In the empty square below the steps, where ten thousand people could stand without being crowded, she was the only one standing there.
Would the others be standing on the steps, on the steps in front of the hall, looking down at her?
When Xia Chujian looked at the layout here, he felt a little uncomfortable.
She is a hero with great military achievements, not a clown to be watched by others.
Are we really here to award her the title today?
Xia Chujian pursed her lips, not intending to stand alone in the square below.
She walked up the stairs.
After she had walked a few steps, the female royal guard who had brought her in appeared again.
She quickly said, "Lieutenant Colonel Xia! You can't go up there!"
Xia Chujian looked back at her and said, "Why?"
"Aren't you going to be awarded a title?"
"How can I confer a title while I'm standing below?"
The female royal guard smiled and said, "It's being awarded below."
"That's where the nobles sit. You can't go up there."
Xia Chujian thought, the place up there is for nobles to sit, and she can't go there, so she is not a noble, but a lowly person?
Hehe, hehehehe…
Xia Chujian sneered in her heart, already knowing that today's awarding of titles was definitely not an occasion to honor her.
In all likelihood, not only will she be asked to carry a sedan chair, but she will also be humiliated!
But she couldn't understand why the Empress Tan Tai Zijun did this?
She has only been on the throne for a few days, and she is already doing this. Is she seeking death?
Xia Chujian thought calmly that the sentence was not a rhetorical question, but a narrative sentence.
She took a deep breath, turned around and walked down the stairs.
However, as soon as she came down, she saw another group of people coming from the other side of the square.
The person walking in front, who is the most conspicuous, the most elegant and handsome, is actually Quan Yuxun!
He saw Xia Chujian standing alone at the bottom of the stairs, and for some reason, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had been stabbed by a Zerg's forelimbs.
He walked over quickly, smiled and said to Xia Chujian, "Why are you standing here alone? I'll take you upstairs."
The female royal guard hurriedly stopped her and said, "Chief Quan, you can't... This is not the procedure..."
Quan Yuxun's expression was gentle, but his tone had turned cold. "What procedure? Are you sure you want to debate procedural issues with the Senate's chief legal advisor?"
Those who study law are the ancestors who manipulate procedural justice!
His aura was so overwhelming that he immediately intimidated the female royal guard.
She wanted to say something else, but the people who came in with Quan Yuxun had already pushed her and Xia Chujian apart, and she could no longer reach Xia Chujian.
He could only watch as Xia Chujian was held hand by Quan Yuxun, walked up the steps, and came to the Danbi in front of the Yingwu Palace.
After going up, Quan Yuxun found a seat directly below the stage closest to the awarding of titles, and asked Xia Chujian to sit next to him.
Xia Chujian didn't know where he should sit.
But she definitely didn't want to be left alone in the square at the bottom of the thirty-six steps.
So she sat next to Quan Yuxun.
The female royal guard had no choice but to grit her teeth and rush out to report the news.
It was obvious that this arrangement would not succeed.
…
Xia Chujian sat next to Quan Yuxun and listened to him whispering to her about the people who came to watch the ceremony today.
"There are the Speakers and leading members of the Senate and the Upper and Lower Houses, as well as the chief legal adviser like me."
"Over there are the five chiefs of staff of the military. You should know them. They are your immediate superiors."
"The row of seats facing the investiture platform and the main entrance of the hall is reserved for the Cabinet Chief and ministers."
"Those seats at the right rear are for the noble representatives."
Xia Chujian took a quick look and saw many "familiar faces".
Of course they looked familiar to her.
Because they were all seen at the previous two major ceremonies.
One was the high mass ceremony for the burial of the late Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan, and the other was the coronation ceremony of Empress Tan Tai Zijun.
So these people are the ones coming and going in the upper echelons of the empire.
Class solidification, class solidification...
Xia Chujian sighed, but he also knew that the class structure of the Beichen Empire had been solidified for ten thousand years.
Think about the royal family that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and the aristocracy that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
The ceiling for ordinary people to strive for is citizenship.
The lowest guaranteed status for the royal family and the nobility is citizenship.
