Chapter 1169: The Name of the Queen
Baoqin forbade the imperial concubine to eat and drink as much as she wanted.
Xiao Xixi was very dissatisfied: "I am a pregnant woman, how can you let a pregnant woman starve?!"
Baoqin acted particularly hard-hearted at this time.
"I have already consulted the imperial physician. Even if you are pregnant, you must eat properly. Eating too much is not good for you and the fetus. I will take these snacks away first."
After saying that, she picked up the box of snacks in front of Xiao Xixi and walked out without looking back.
Xiao Xixi was so angry that she slammed the table: "Give me back my snacks!"
However, it was useless. After Baoqin took the snack box away, it never appeared in front of Xiao Xixi again.
After losing the snacks, Xiao Xixi felt like she had lost the whole world.
She lay weakly on the table, silently mourning her snack box that was gone forever.
At this time, Lao Wang came in from the window holding a small dried fish in his mouth, and his cat's paws gently landed on the ground.
Xiao Xixi raised her head and her eyes immediately lit up when she saw the dried fish in Lao Wang's mouth.
There is food!
She rushed over, squatted in front of Lao Wang, and asked in a flattering manner.
"Can you give me half of the dried fish?"
Lao Wang: “…”
What's wrong with these humans? Why do they even covet the food of kittens? It's simply insane!
It let out a roar and swallowed the whole dried fish into its mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound.
Xiao Xixi: “…”
Even the fat cat has snacks, but she doesn't!
She's living worse than a fat cat!
After eating the dried fish, Lao Wang began to lick his little paws.
Its cat ears suddenly moved, and it stopped licking its paws. It turned its head to look towards the door and saw the emperor walking in.
As soon as Lao Wang saw this human, he immediately stood up and bared his teeth at him.
This scheming boy is here again!
Seeing Xixi squatting on the ground with a frown on her face, Luo Qinghan immediately reached out to pull her up and made her face him so that she could not see the dead fat cat on the ground.
Luo Qinghan asked: "What are you doing squatting here?"
Xiao Xixi sighed: "I'm watching a fat cat eating show."
Luo Qinghan: Eating broadcast? ?
Lao Wang: Fat cat? ?
Xiao Xixi touched her increasingly round belly and said in an extremely complaining tone, "I really want to eat snacks."
Luo Qinghan had already learned from Baoqin that Xixi couldn't eat snacks.
As a pregnant woman, Xixi should supplement more nutrition, but not too much, and she should also control her diet. If she eats too much, the fetus in her belly will be too big, and she will definitely suffer a lot when giving birth in the future.
Luo Qinghan hugged her and comforted her in a gentle voice.
"If you're hungry, you can eat some fruit."
He had someone bring in some washed and cut fruits and fed them to Xixi himself.
Xiao Xixi is not picky about food. She likes meat and vegetarian food as well.
Luo Qinghan was originally a little worried that Xixi would be nervous because of the upcoming enthronement ceremony.
Now seeing her eating the fruit with big mouthfuls, I suddenly felt that all my worries were unnecessary.
Xiao Xixi swallowed the fruit in her mouth and said, "Don't you have to deal with government affairs today? Why did you come to me?"
Luo Qinghan: "There haven't been any major events in the court recently. As for those minor matters, the cabinet can handle them on its own. I can take this opportunity to relax for a while."
The only place in the palace where he could feel relaxed was Yunxiu Palace where Xixi was.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today is the Queen's enthronement ceremony.
Before dawn, Xiao Xixi was awakened by Luo Qinghan.
She was pushed in front of the dressing table in a daze, and all kinds of rouge and powder were smeared on her face.
It was not until breakfast time when she smelled the aroma of food that she woke up completely.
Since the enthronement ceremony would take a long time, in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of having to urinate urgently during the process, Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan did not even drink a sip of soup for breakfast, let alone tea.
After they had packed up, they took a carriage to the Taimiao.
Civil and military officials and princes and relatives followed closely behind.
There were guards in front and behind who blew gongs to clear the way.
Xiao Xixi was wearing a bright red queen's gown and sitting upright in the carriage. The curtains on both sides were rolled up. She only needed to turn her head to see the people kneeling on the ground on both sides of the street.
Luo Qinghan was sitting next to her.
Today he was wearing a dark black brocade robe, a golden dragon crown on his head, and his brows were as cold as frost.
He stretched out his hand from his wide sleeves and quietly held Xixi's hand.
Xiao Xixi lowered her head slightly, and the golden phoenix hairpin on her head trembled gently, the golden thread swayed, and the red gem held in the phoenix's beak reflected a dazzling light.
Her eyes fell on her held hand, and her red lips curled up slightly.
The team arrived at the Taimiao in a grand manner.
In front of the royal ancestors, the Minister of Rites took out an article he had written long ago and praised the empress harshly from head to toe, praising her to the point that she was the best in the world and that she was the only one worthy of the position of empress, using extremely exaggerated words.
Xiao Xixi didn't understand a single word.
She was so sleepy after listening to it that she almost snored on the spot to show her respect.
After the Minister of Rites finally finished speaking, it was the turn of the clan representatives to take the stage.
Even though the clan members had many dissatisfactions with the new queen, they had no other choice.
Now all the concubines in the harem have been dismissed, and the emperor is determined to enthrone the noble concubine as empress. If they still go against the emperor, the final outcome will be to be rejected by the emperor.
If they didn't want to be disliked, they could only do things according to the emperor's wishes.
According to the procedure, the clan representatives also praised the new queen in various ways, using even more exaggerated words than the Minister of Rites.
Next is the worship of ancestors and heaven and earth.
Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan knelt down and kowtowed together, then stood up and knelt down again...
This was repeated three times.
Luo Qinghan was worried that Xixi wouldn't be able to stand steadily and might fall, so when she stood up, he reached out to help her up.
This action is against the rules.
But no one present dared to speak out and reprimand, so they could only play deaf and dumb and pretend that they saw nothing.
Eunuch Chang held the golden book in both hands.
This golden book records the names of all the royal family members since the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty. Every time a new member is added to the royal family, a new name will be added to this golden book.
Luo Qinghan personally opened the golden book and turned to the page with his name on it.
Next to his name was a blank space.
This place should have been filled in with the name of his legal wife, but it has always been left blank.
Now it can finally be filled.
Luo Qinghan picked up the brush and wrote three words carefully:
Xiao Xixi.
When he saw these three words, Eunuch Chang's eyelids twitched slightly.
But he said nothing. After the ink dried, he closed the golden book, put it into the sandalwood box, and locked it again.
In this way, Xiao Xixi's status as queen was completely confirmed.
From now on, she will be Luo Qinghan’s only original queen.
Even if she died in the future, she would be the only one qualified to be buried with him.
Whether they live or die, they will never be separated again in this life.
Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
Long live the emperor, and a thousand years of life for the queen!
