Chapter 398 From now on, you will be the one in charge of this harem!
The two hugged each other for a long time before slowly separating.
Bai Wutong raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, straightened her manners, and restored her usual dignity. "Your Majesty, how should we deal with that Turkic beauty?"
Zhang Chengyan held her hand, his expression calm, "Let them stay in the palace for now, don't worry about it. Wutong, don't worry, I won't make the same mistake again."
This time the case was handled properly thanks to the help of the miracle doctor before, but I may not be able to find a miracle doctor in the future.
Bai Wutong smiled knowingly and held his hand tightly back.
After coming out of Fengyi Palace, Bai Wutong paused and looked back at the plaque hanging high.
From now on, this is where she will be in charge of the harem!
Even though people have died here, is there any place in this deep palace that has not been stained with blood?
She doesn't care!
Only power is the most important!
Due to his busy government affairs, Zhang Chengyan returned to the Yangxin Palace first, while Bai Wutong returned to the Tishun Hall alone.
As soon as they entered the palace, Chan'er and other palace maids knelt on the ground in unison, their excitement evident in their words, "Welcome Her Majesty back to the palace, congratulations on your upcoming ascension to the throne!"
Which woman who entered the palace had never dreamed of becoming a queen?
Originally everyone thought that the position of queen would always be occupied by the previous queen, and even if there were changes, Jin Weige would take her place.
Who could have expected that Bai Wutong would reach the pinnacle of power in the harem in just three years!
Bai Wutong smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Everyone, get up quickly. No need to be polite. Chan'er, give everyone three months' bonus."
"Yes, thank you, ma'am!"
The palace maids immediately gathered around, and Yingchun took the opportunity to whisper, "Your Majesty, I heard that the empress's wedding clothes will be delivered tomorrow, and the ceremony of crowning the empress will be held in three days. Time is so tight, there will definitely be no accidents."
Bai Wutong nodded, everything will go well.
The sooner the ceremony is held, the sooner she can become queen!
Thinking of becoming the master of the harem, Bai Wutong was in a very good mood and told Yingchun, "Go prepare some fresh fish."
She wanted to offer sacrifices to her father and mother's tablets so that they could also know this joy.
Although on a day like this, she should have gone to visit Jin Weige, to show off and see how the other party's defenses broke down.
But before the coronation ceremony, she did not want to cause any more trouble and thought that it would not be too late to meet him after the ceremony was successfully concluded.
The carved wooden door slowly closed, and the room suddenly became quiet, with only Bai Wutong left.
She held the fresh fish in her hands and gently placed it in front of the cabinet. She looked at the tablet with red eyes and said softly, "Father, Mother, today is a really good day. I am so happy. Although I haven't avenged you yet, don't worry, it will be soon. When I become the queen and Jin Weige is imprisoned again, nothing can stop me!"
Jin Zhi is a bit troublesome, but she definitely has a way to make it beyond his reach!
After saying this, Bai Wutong kowtowed three times respectfully before standing up, his expression returning to calm.
The next day, people from the Imperial Household Department quickly delivered the Queen's auspicious clothes.
It is bright red in color and embroidered with phoenixes with fine craftsmanship.
You can see the phoenix spreading its wings, accompanied by swimming fish, and the dragon and phoenix bringing good luck.
Bai Wutong touched the clothes and found that many places had been altered. She knew that this was not made specially for her, but was modified from an old one.
But she didn't care. The queen coronation ceremony was approaching. As long as she could become queen, it didn't matter whether the clothes were new or old.
If you like it, just do it later. As long as you have the power, what can't you do?
Several palace maids came over and helped Bai Wutong change into the queen's attire.
Some were holding up the hem of her skirt, while others were adjusting her accessories, very carefully.
After getting dressed, Bai Wutong stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking radiant and beautiful.
Chan'er was stunned and couldn't help but admire, "Your Majesty, you are so beautiful. This Queen's phoenix robe looks like it was tailor-made for you!"
When she first entered the palace, although Bai Wutong was beautiful, she was thin and had the temperament of a delicate girl next door, lacking some grandeur.
The three years of palace life have made her calm and dignified, and now sitting there, she really has the style of the mistress of the harem!
Bai Wutong looked at himself in the mirror, and the corners of his mouth rose. "Well, it really suits me."
No wonder all women who enter the palace want to be queen. Not to mention anything else, the auspicious dresses and phoenix crown alone are extremely luxurious!
Any woman who loves beauty can't take her eyes away.
At this time, the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside, "The Emperor has arrived!"
Bai Wutong turned around quickly and saw Zhang Chengyan striding in.
He was immediately attracted by Bai Wutong, who was wearing the empress's auspicious dress, and his eyes were full of amazement. "I heard that the dress has been delivered, so I came to take a look. You look so radiant in it!"
Bai Wutong blushed, and turned back into her little bird-like appearance, "Your Majesty, I am embarrassed by your praise."
Zhang Chengyan looked at her with eyes full of doting.
After experiencing this life-and-death test, he felt that Bai Wutong's feelings for him were as solid as a rock. She was the only person in the harem who truly treated him, so naturally he had to cherish her!
"Wutong, I am telling the truth. This dress suits you very well. I will have someone pick out some fine eastern pearls and send them to you. They will definitely be more beautiful when inlaid on the phoenix crown. Take a look at this phoenix crown. Is there anything inappropriate?"
Bai Wutong nodded quickly, "Anything sent by the emperor must be good."
Zhang Chengyan shook his head. "Don't be so reserved. If you have any ideas, just say them. You will be the queen in the future. Don't put yourself in a difficult position."
Bai Wutong thought about it and picked out a small detail to bring up.
Zhang Chengyan immediately ordered the eunuch, "Hurry up and change it. It must be done before the ceremony!"
His eyes were always on Bai Wutong. "In two days it will be a good day for you to be crowned queen. Several masters will preside over the ceremony. Just do as they say and don't be nervous."
Bai Wutong nodded, thinking of the master who had performed the ritual before, and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, was this plan of destroying and then rebuilding something their idea?"
Zhang Chengyan nodded, "I guess so. I do this not only for the harem, but also to take this opportunity to punish the evil, to find out the villains who are endangering Darong Country, and to protect the peace of Darong Country!"
“Your Majesty is truly a man of great foresight. This fake collapse has exposed the true colors of many insincere people. I didn’t know before that in the harem…” Bai Wutong lowered her eyes and sighed softly, her fingertips grasping Zhang Chengyan’s sleeve.
Zhang Chengyan took her hand in his palm and said, "There is no need to mention these things. The master said before that there will be a lot of chaos in Darong Country in recent years because the position of Queen Mother is vacant. We need to hold the ceremony of enthroning the Queen as quickly as possible to consolidate the country's destiny. Therefore, this ceremony of enthroning the Queen will naturally be a little hasty and not as grand as before."
Bai Wutong didn't mind at all, and raised a gentle smile on her lips, "When I entered the palace, I never dared to hope to become the emperor's wife. Now I can always serve the emperor, which is already a blessing from heaven! Even if there is no grand ceremony, as long as I can be with the emperor, I think it is better than anything else."
She deliberately avoided the word "queen" and only kept saying the word "wife".
This gentle and humble gesture made Zhang Chengyan's heart tremble.
He lowered his head and saw the red tips of Bai Wutong's ears. He lifted her chin with his fingertips, "You...always speak to my heart!"
He leaned over and kissed her with a bit of tenderness, "After the ceremony, I will order people to reorganize Fengyi Palace. From now on, you will be the master of the harem!"
