Chapter 255: Book-sealing Ceremony
The East Palace is spacious, unlike the Princess Palace, which only has one bedroom.
The prince was very happy to get a new house. The entire East Palace belonged to him, Bei Jingchu, hahahaha!
After all, the East Palace must be large enough to accommodate the prince's entire backyard of wives, concubines, and offspring.
It feels so good to be a prince, there are so many places to build.
Bei Jingchu naturally thought of moving his own people over there, such as Xin'er.
She is completely different from what she was three years ago.
Not to mention that clothes make the man, a set of gorgeous clothes.
For example, the young county magistrate, who is now calm and well-behaved, is no longer the free and unrestrained little girl she once was.
There were some ink stains on her hands that were accidentally stained, and the thread left by holding the pen was a bit thick.
This shows the hard work he puts in on a daily basis.
She first congratulated him, and then asked what she was most concerned about: "Your Highness, when can we attack Tunning?"
"Can I help? I want to contribute. I want to avenge my mother."
She was alive, but Bei Jingchu always felt that she was trapped in the Ten Days Massacre.
Bei Jingchu could only give her a direction, just like every time she asked her before: "Study hard first. When you have learned well, even if you become an accountant in the military camp, it will be a help, right?"
Xin'er was comforted obediently again.
Bei Jingchu understood her; they were both entangled in the same hatred.
They are all motivated by revenge and looking for things to do.
Just like she was fighting for power.
How can we get out of this? We can’t.
Therefore, the cocoon in Xin'er's hand is so thick, and I don't know how much effort she has put in behind the scenes.
"That day will come."
"So you have to be prepared to welcome that day and add some strength to Dayue, right?"
She nodded obediently and leaned silently on her stepsister's shoulder.
"Your Highness, are we relatives?"
"I hope you say yes, because I have no other relatives."
......
Auspicious day.
Two quarters before dawn, all ceremonial officials were ready.
The imperial guards were on high alert to prevent any unexpected events from happening, and the Taiji Palace was under strict security.
Bei Jingchu put on the crown and robes of the crown prince and sat in the carriage.
The morning light is fading and dawn is about to break.
She waited for the auspicious moment, suppressing her nervousness.
Finally, the deacon came to announce that the time had come.
The wheels started moving, and the ceremonial entourage and civil and military officials followed behind, and they set off in a grand manner.
The three divisions were leading the way in the front, followed by the Crown Prince's carriage.
All the way to the Taiji Hall.
At this time, all the officials had already taken their positions. They had attracted the attention of the public more than once before, the only difference was that the clothes they wore were different this time.
Bei Jingchu walked in calmly.
Oh, and the location is different too.
She walked to the northern part of the East Court Hall, facing the ministers, just below the dragon throne.
Then the emperor arrived.
The musicians on both sides began to play music. The sound of the chimes was particularly prominent and the music was solemn.
The drums and music stopped only when the emperor took his seat.
The real canonization ceremony has begun.
The guardsman shouted: "Bai——"
Bei Jingchu lifted her robe and bowed.
"Bye again—"
All the officials followed suit and knelt down in worship.
Afterwards, the Minister of the Secretariat stood up, holding the case in his hand, and the Assistant Minister of the Secretariat stood opposite the Minister of the Secretariat holding the seal and ribbon.
After he checked the registration case, Xu Lanqi reported to the emperor, "There is a regulation."
Bei Jingchu stood up, took the imperial seal and ribbon, and bowed again with the ministers.
The Shangshu Ling read out the edict of the crown prince to the emperor.
Bow again.
From today on, she is the crown prince announced to the world.
Bei Jingchu felt a little dizzy.
That's how it was done.
Every moment of hesitation and deliberation is just to hit the target with one strike.
It turned out to be so smooth...I did it.
Aye gave her an encouraging smile but said nothing more.
Everything that needs to be said and taught has already been said.
After struggling for a whole morning, Bei Jingchu still couldn't take off his crown.
Fortunately, there is no heir in the palace, so there is no need to worship the empress.
She went directly to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices, and informed her ancestors after sealing the book.
While burning incense to the tablets and portraits in front of her, Bei Jingchu was thinking.
If some old and stubborn ancestors knew that Aye had made the princess the crown prince, would they appear in her dreams at night and scold her and Aye for being unfilial?
For example, her late grandfather was a recognized stubborn old man.
But who cares.
She is just disobedient, not virtuous, not gentle, and not well-behaved by nature.
She just wanted to argue and ask - on what basis.
[Ding~ Mission successful, congratulations to the host for achieving a hidden achievement, reward: Unbinding.]
Before Bei Jingchu could ask why the reward was to unbind, the system said: [Everyone on the favorability page can hear the host's thoughts~ After unbinding, the host will be a child with privacy hehehe.]
Bei Jingchu: !!!!!!
