A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 2037 Ceremony, Madam Min falls into the trap

The Ninth Prince attached great importance to the coronation ceremony and the empress enthronement ceremony, so the officials under him naturally did not dare to neglect it. In order to hold the ceremony successfully, Dongling spent huge amounts of money and spared no manpower and material resources to ensure perfection.

Led by officials from the Ministry of Rites and with the cooperation of other ministries, the ceremony was arranged in just one month to be both grand and dignified, with no room for fault.

As the protagonists, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen got up before dawn to change their clothes, and led the way to the Imperial Ancestral Temple with the Imperial Guards. The civil and military officials had already been waiting in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, just waiting for the Emperor and Empress to arrive...

The two of them were traveling in the same car, surrounded by guards. Not to mention assassins, even a fly could not fly in. If Madam Min and Feng Li Qingge wanted to take action, they could only start from inside the Taimiao.

Feng Qingchen was originally very curious about how Madam Min could get past the heavy troops, enter the Taimiao, and reveal her identity in public. However, after getting the exact information from Feng Lizhi, Feng Qingchen was disappointed.

"It's actually a secret passage. This is too uncreative. However, I didn't even think of such an uncreative method. This shows that I don't have the potential to be a bad guy." Feng Qingchen boasted without hesitation, and the Ninth Prince couldn't help laughing.

With Feng Qingchen around, even boring government affairs become much more interesting.

The coronation and establishment ceremonies of the empress had fixed procedures. As soon as the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen arrived at the Taimiao, officials from the Ministry of Rites came forward to instruct them on what ceremony to perform and when.

Every move has strict requirements and there cannot be any mistakes. For today's ceremony, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen spent several days practicing these movements.

After the ceremony, the Ninth Prince read the sacrificial text in front of the altar, and then an official came forward and read the edict of accession to the throne and the edict of establishing the empress.

Feng Qingchen didn't quite hear what the edict contained. The clothes she was wearing were so heavy that she almost couldn't breathe. She only knew that as soon as the edict was read, an old and respected minister came forward to crown the Ninth Uncle.

After the coronation, all officials came to pay homage. Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince stood high at the foot of the steps. Under the guidance of the ceremonial officers, all the civil and military officials knelt in unison, shouting "Long live the emperor" and "A thousand years for the queen".

Although he knew that the words "ten thousand years" and "a thousand years" were all fake, Feng Qingchen couldn't help but feel excited when he heard it.

The scene was so shocking, rows of officials kneeling at her feet, surrendering before her. This was not something that could be shown on TV. Only by experiencing it yourself could you know how exciting it was to stand at the top of the pyramid and have control over the life and death of others.

No wonder those princes and grandchildren of the emperor were determined to win the throne even at the cost of their lives. It was such a great feeling to be high above everyone else and to be admired and worshipped by everyone.

After the officials paid homage, the new emperor was supposed to confer titles on all officials and grant amnesty to the people. However, the Ninth Prince did not do so. The officials of the Ministry of Rites had already received the Ninth Prince's hint and announced that the ceremony was over.

The civil and military officials frowned, with a bad feeling. The Ninth Prince first ascended to the throne and then held the grand ceremony. When he ascended to the throne, he did not grant amnesty to the whole country, let alone reward the officials. Now he is not granting amnesty to the whole country or rewarding the officials. What does this mean? Is he dissatisfied with the officials? If so, they are in trouble.

Those officials who were worried and timid became uneasy and pulled the people around them to ask questions. However, before they could open their mouths, they heard the eunuch's sharp urging: "The emperor has ordered that all the adults return to the palace immediately without delay."

"Return to the palace? What for?" Someone asked, but was met with the eunuch's indifference. Wang Jinling stood alone on the periphery, watching the noisy scene, vaguely thinking of something, suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Wang Jinling forced himself to go forward and persuaded: "It is better for all the adults to return to the palace as soon as possible, so as not to delay the emperor's business."

Wang Jinling's words were full of meaning. After he finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and stood facing the wind, looking mysterious. Everyone couldn't help but wonder if Wang Jinling knew something.

Although everyone was guessing, no one stepped forward to ask. The ministers present had worked with Wang Jinling for many years and knew his character. So far, no one had been able to get something out of him that he didn't want to say.

With Wang Jinling's reminder, the civil and military officials naturally did not dare to stay, and walked out with big strides, for fear that they would be late and cause dissatisfaction to the Ninth Prince.

The crowded Taimiao was soon empty. Except for the secret guards and a few confidants, the Ninth Prince sent everyone else outside, leaving the main hall empty.

The personal eunuch was very perceptive and quickly brought two large chairs for the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen to sit on. After serving two cups of hot tea, he left without the Ninth Prince saying anything and walked far away...

Feng Qingchen picked up the tea and found that the tea in her cup was red date tea. He couldn't help but praise her: "The people around you have good eyesight."

"Let him serve you." The Ninth Prince didn't like palace maids, and was surrounded by eunuchs. This was known to everyone in and outside the palace. Feng Qingchen was the opposite. She didn't like eunuchs serving her: "No need. I have Chun Hui and the other four by my side. That's enough."

Feng Qingchen did not allow Tong Jue and Tong Yao to enter the palace. Once the four beautiful maids, Chun, Xia, Autumn and Dong, entered the palace, they became the four palace maids around Feng Qingchen, assisting Feng Qingchen in handling palace affairs.

There is only Feng Qingchen in the Ninth Prince's harem now, and there are not too many trivial matters to deal with. Almost all the affairs in the palace are handled by the four beautiful maids. Feng Qingchen only needs to ask a few questions.

"They are not young anymore. They will be released from the palace in two years. You need to pick a few suitable ones to train. Naibao also needs people." The Ninth Prince said calmly, reminding Feng Qingchen that it was time to train confidants. However, Feng Qingchen did not think that she needed to train these people. She knew that the Ninth Prince had many such people, so she asked directly: "Send a few little girls to Chunhui and the others later. Naibao is not needed for the time being. The wet nurse and the nanny are enough. When he is older, pick a few companions."

The companion is the future confidant and right-hand man, and these people must be trained from childhood. Not only themselves, but also the family behind them, can only be loyal to the baby.

It was obvious that the Ninth Prince Uncle valued Naibao, so Feng Qingchen naturally didn't need to hide it and could openly give it to his son and cultivate his confidant.

She believed that the Ninth Prince would not be like Kangxi, who would be wary of the Crown Prince whom she had personally raised as he grew older, and would certainly not do so now.

As expected, the Ninth Prince was very happy to accept it, and he did not think that there was anything wrong with Feng Qingchen's actions. The fact that he was able to hand over the 300,000 troops that Feng Liyou had handed over to Naibao was enough to show his determination to hand over everything to Naibao.

Naibao is too young. If he were an adult, the Ninth Prince would hand over the throne to Naibao without hesitation, because he doesn't like being an emperor at all.

Compared with being an emperor and governing the country, he prefers conquering the world...
