Chapter 217 The New Emperor's Ascension to the Throne and the Empress's Conferment Ceremony (shuhaige.net)



At the end of December in the third year of Tianhe, the enthronement ceremony was held.

Regent Mo Beichen, in accordance with the will of the people, ascended the throne and changed the era name to Yongjia. The following year will be the first year of Yongjia.

Of course, the ascension of a new emperor is a cause for celebration throughout the country.

Therefore, after the enthronement ceremony, Mo Beichen ordered an imperial edict to be drafted, announcing a general amnesty and exempting the world from corvée labor and taxes for three years.

But getting rid of the old and innovating is not an easy thing.

Fortunately, a series of laws had been discussed with the ministers before his ascension to the throne and were promulgated smoothly.

As for its implementation, only time will tell.

On the first day of the first month of the first year of Yongjia, the ceremony for the investiture of the empress was held.

Yun Qingluo was so nervous that she didn't sleep a wink all night.

The next day, it was pitch black when I was pulled out of bed to wash and change.

"I haven't slept all night, and now I'm sleepy." Yun Qingluo yawned, looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but chuckle as she saw that she didn't look like an empress at all.

Yun Tao asked curiously, "Your Highness, oh no, Your Majesty the Empress, what are you laughing at?"

Yun Qingluo glanced at Yun Tao, "You, so talkative. I just never imagined that being an empress would feel like this. It's like, well, getting married again. Except this time, it's being witnessed by so many people."

Yun Tao spoke of this with some sadness, "To be honest, when she first married into the royal family, the princess was unwilling, but her attitude changed drastically after their wedding night."

Yun Qingluo tugged at Yun Tao's sleeve, "Alright, let's not talk about the past. If people keep dwelling on the past, how can they start a new life? Aren't we doing fine now?"

"His Majesty also dotes on you. He has replaced all the people in the palace with people from the Prince's Mansion. Even the Princess Consort doesn't have many old palace servants around her. The old nanny sent by the Empress Dowager was rejected by His Majesty."

“Our Empress is so wonderful, of course the Emperor has to dote on her,” Yun Tao said proudly from the side.

The palace maid came in with a stern face. "Why isn't it ready yet? You two are slacking off again. I told the Emperor that we need to find experienced people to serve us, but he just won't listen."

Yun Qingluo turned her head and looked at the smile in Gong Mama's eyes. In the end, she did not expose her.

When Yun Qingluo watched the TV series in modern times, she only felt that the coronation ceremony was spectacular and magnificent.

But I didn't expect it to be so troublesome and tiring.

It took her two hours just to do her makeup, jewelry, and clothes, even though she insisted on keeping everything simple.

However, all of this vanished when he saw Mo Beichen, who was dressed in a bright yellow robe.

Because of him, everything was worth it.

Mo Beichen stood on the steps, watching his beloved approach him step by step, and even his breathing became lighter.

He remained outwardly calm, but his fists clenched tightly inside his sleeves.

His Luo Luo is getting closer to him.

The day he had been waiting for finally arrived.

However, when he touched Yun Qingluo's heavy headdress, a dark look appeared in his eyes.

Such a heavy crown, with so much gold jewelry, has finally suffered.

Just as Mo Beichen was about to lift his foot and walk towards Yun Qingluo, he was stopped by Yun Qingluo's sharp eyes.

Yun Qingluo took each step with great heaviness, because her clothes and headdress were really heavy.

But she felt very happy and proud.

From now on, her man will no longer have to submit to others, no longer be controlled by others, and no longer have so many concerns.

Her Ah Chen should have been in a high position.

In this life, she will accompany him, step by step, to the highest position.

She will accompany him and help him achieve his goals step by step.

Even though she was his target, as an emperor, seeing his people living peaceful lives under his rule must have given him a great sense of accomplishment.

Yun Qingluo looked up at her young man.

Her steps were slow, but composed and determined.

Yun Qingluo's excitement throughout the day was entirely sustained by her love for Mo Beichen.

However, after the coronation ceremony ended that evening.

Yun Qingluo couldn't wait to return to the newly built Empress's Palace and go to her room to sleep.

"Yun Tao, Yun Xin, hurry up and take it off for me, I feel like my neck doesn't belong to me anymore." Yun Qingluo sat down in front of the dressing table as soon as she returned, urging Yun Tao and Yun Xin.

After Yunxin and Yuntao removed the decorations, they discovered that Yun Qingluo's forehead was covered in red marks.

Yun Tao took a breath, her expression full of heartache, "This is too torturous. This is a crown that the Emperor specially made to be lighter, but I didn't expect it to cause injury."

Yun Qingluo didn't mind. "Phew, I feel much more relaxed. And these clothes... Oh right, quickly prepare the hot water. I want to take a shower, I want to take a hot bath."

After taking a bath, Yun Qingluo, dressed in her nightgown, lay on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yi came out and mocked her, "Are you that tired? When you saw your man, your eyes were practically sparkling. I almost thought you had fainted from being frightened by the entire court of officials, and I was about to give you first aid."

Yun Qinglu snorted, "Hmph, do you know how heavy that costume is? I feel like I'm covered in sandbags. Do you know how heavy that headdress is? I suspect I'm carrying a bucket of water weighing dozens of kilograms on my head."

Xiao Yi couldn't help but laugh when she heard Yun Qingluo's description. "Would you dare say that to the Emperor?"

Yun Qingluo quickly glanced towards the door and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one was there. "This is a gift that Achen carefully prepared for me. If he knew I said that, he would be so upset. I was just complaining casually; I was more happy than anything else."

"Yeah, I know you're happy, like a bride-to-be, so excited you didn't sleep all night. But we're an old married couple, what's there to be excited about?" Xiao Yi hummed.

Okay, it just can't stand seeing the clouds pledging and torturing itself.

Is it worth staying up all night for such a trivial matter?

It was still pestering me for energy-boosting medicine first thing in the morning. Doesn't it have any idea what's wrong with its own body?

Yun Qingluo sensed the worry in Xiao Yi's voice and said with a smile, "Xiao Yi, I'm really happy."

After her rebirth, her hope is to accompany A-Chen to the highest point.

They have already taken a big step toward their goal, how could she not be excited?

Next, it's time to dominate the world!

Although there is still a long way to go, with Ah Chen by my side, even the bitterest journey will be sweet.

Xiao Yi spoke coldly, "You should be thinking about how to save your life. There are still four months left. When are we going to Southern Xinjiang?"

Yun Qingluo said patiently, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon."

Xiao Yi grew impatient. "Every time I ask you, you say it'll be soon, that you'll go after Mo Beichen ascends the throne, and after the empress is appointed. What are you waiting for now? Hmm? Do you even know how much time you have left to wait?"

Yun Qinglu fell silent, and the atmosphere became somber.

Xiao Yi calmed down and suddenly felt a little guilty.

"I didn't mean to ruin your good mood..."

Yun Qingluo said calmly, "I know, Xiao Yi, I know you want me to be well more than anyone else. I understand, sweetie, don't blame yourself."

However, the envoys from various countries are already on their way, and as the Empress, I cannot be absent. After this matter is over, I will tell A-Chen that I am going back to Shenyi Valley to see Qiu Shui and Qiu Yue, and then I will take the opportunity to leave.”
