Chapter 196 Getting Better
"Wait until the Duke of Zhenguo, Chen Xuanmo, Yan Zhiyi and others return to Beijing." Pei Jingzhou replied.
"Oh." Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you asking 'why'?"
Jiang Zhaoyue asked uncertainly, "Because you want to wait for them to come back for the coronation ceremony?"
"I'll wait for them to come back and attend your coronation ceremony." After the battles in the border states and the southwest, Pei Jingzhou not only won the love of the people in the border states and the praise of the people in Dajin, but also proved his own hard power.
Occasionally a few court officials would find fault, but nothing would happen.
But Jiang Zhaoyue is different. Although she was born in the Chengning Marquis's Mansion, the Chengning Marquis's family is really not supportable. She has a weak background and it is inevitable that people will talk about her.
It just so happened that she had done a favor to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Chen Xuanmo and Yan Zhiyi, so he wanted to wait for them to come back and let them and Zhang Siyin and others support her.
"So, you are doing this for me?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"Yeah!" Pei Jingzhou nodded.
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately hugged Pei Jingzhou's waist: "Your Highness, why are you so kind?"
Pei Jingzhou was changing clothes, and with her hugging him like this, he couldn't even tie his belt. He didn't rush to do it, and said with a smile, "It's good that you know."
"I know, I know, Your Highness is the best, most handsome, most caring and strongest man in the world!" Jiang Zhaoyue started praising.
Even though he heard such sweet talk every day, Pei Jingzhou still couldn't get tired of it. He continued, "You only know how to use sweet words."
"Nonsense, I'm speaking the truth."
"It sounds better said than sung."
"So you think I haven't done enough?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked with his head tilted.
Pei Jingzhou suddenly hugged himself.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Pei Jingzhou said: "I have something to do later, so I can't go to bed."
Jiang Zhaoyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do I look like I'm trying to get you into bed?"
"You always are."
"Then do you like it?" Jiang Zhaoyue hugged Pei Jingzhou's waist tightly, resting her chin on his chest, and asked with a bright face: "Do you like it? Do you like it? Do you like it?"
Pei Jingzhou liked this bright, playful, lively and clingy look, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily: "I like it."
"Speak slower or I won't pull you to bed again." Jiang Zhaoyue said harshly.
Pei Jingzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Fortunately, you said it quickly enough."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "What are you mumbling about?"
Pei Jingzhou said hurriedly: "Nothing."
"Alright." Jiang Zhaoyue didn't care anymore. He let go of Pei Jingzhou's waist and fastened his belt while saying, "Then go get busy."
Pei Jingzhou looked at her and said, "Thank you for taking care of Yuan Yao."
"It's mainly led by my father."
"Then you do what you like."
"good."
"I'm leaving."
"Um."
Pei Jingzhou was extremely busy preparing for the coronation and coronation ceremony. He said he came back to change clothes, but in fact he just wanted to see Jiang Zhaoyue.
Now that I have seen it, I can get back to my work with peace of mind.
Jiang Zhaoyue took advantage of Yuan Yao's stay with Emperor Hong Qi to start dealing with various matters in the Eastern Palace.
While the couple was busy, Pei Maokun, Chen Xuanmo, Yan Zhiyi and others came back.
Pei Jingzhou conveyed the order of Emperor Hongqi and rewarded people according to their merits. Soon after, Pei Yan got married, Pei Che and Qin You got married, Qin Lu and Princess Duojia got engaged, and Pei Siya also got a fiancé. Before they knew it, the New Year had passed.
When spring came and flowers bloomed, he issued an imperial edict and ascended to the highest position in the Jin Dynasty. He accepted the subjects' shouts of "Long live the emperor", and then announced an auspicious day to hold the ceremony of crowning the queen.
Soon the day arrived. Before dawn, Jiang Zhaoyue got up, washed her face, combed her hair, put on a red dress with phoenix patterns, and wore a golden phoenix crown. She was busy for more than an hour.
Nanny Yun was explaining etiquette on the side.
Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but say, "Madam Yun, I've memorized it by heart, you don't need to say it anymore."
"Empress, I'm afraid you'll forget." Nanny Yun was extremely nervous.
"The ceremonial officer will guide it." Jiang Zhaoyue said again.
"Yes, then Your Majesty, please stand up." Nanny Yun helped Jiang Zhaoyue stand up.
"Mother." Xiangqiao walked in holding Yuan Yao.
Nanny Yun scolded, "Xiangqiao, why are you bringing the eldest prince here at this time?"
"Just hold me!" Yuan Yao could say those two words after the Chinese New Year. When he heard Nanny Yun scolding Xiangqiao, he immediately retorted fiercely.
Nanny Yun suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
Xiang Qiao lowered her head and explained, "The eldest prince will look for the queen as soon as he wakes up."
"Yuan Yao has his mother in his heart, and his mother is very happy!" Jiang Zhaoyue said with a smile.
Normally Jiang Zhaoyue dressed comfortably and put on a little makeup, but she suddenly dressed so formally that Yuan Yao couldn't help but be stunned.
"What's the matter? Don't you recognize your mother?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Yuan Yao blinked his bright black eyes twice and said in a baby voice, "Mother! Beautiful!"
"Really?" Jiang Zhaoyue smiled.
"Yes, mother! Beautiful!"
"You are naturally sweeter than your father! I really want to kiss and hug you, but I am dressed too formally, so it is not convenient. After the coronation ceremony is over, I will kiss and hug you, okay?"
Yuan Yao answered decisively: "Yes!"
"We happily agree on this!"
"It's settled!"
"Then have fun with Xiangqiao. Mother will be busy now."
Yuan Yao habitually said, "Mother, kiss."
Jiang Zhaoyue pointed at her makeup and said, "We agreed not to kiss you."
Yuan Yao nodded obediently: "Yeah."
Jiang Zhaoyue touched her son's fair and tender little face, walked out of the bedroom, and under the guidance of the Palace of Rites, sat on the queen's carriage.
They set out from the harem in a grand procession, listening to the palace servants shouting "Long live the queen" all the way to the gate of the front palace.
He got off the phoenix chariot, walked to the incense table, and worshiped respectfully once, twice, and three times. When he raised his eyes, he saw the high jade steps.
"Empress, please go up the stairs. The Emperor and everyone are waiting for you," said the ceremonial officer.
Jiang Zhaoyue lifted her phoenix robe slightly and walked up the stairs step by step. She saw many people in gorgeous clothes standing on both sides.
She recognized Hu Jianzhi, Li Boyan, Tao Jin, Qin Lu, Pei Heng, Pei Che, Pei Yan, Qin Lu's mother Wang, Zhang Siyin, Pei Jingxiao, Pei Maokun, Yan Zhiyi, Chen Xuanmo, and many others.
"Welcome Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years." Pei Maokun was the first to shout.
The others followed suit.
The sound waves came like a tidal wave.
Jiang Zhaoyue continued to walk forward and saw the man standing at the highest point. He was dressed in a dragon robe and was as handsome as the cold moon in winter. He looked chilling, but his eyes were full of tenderness and warmth as he looked at her.
She continued walking forward.
Pei Jingzhou stared intently.
Jiang Zhaoyue walked up to him.
Pei Jingzhou held her hand and said, "You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and asked, "Shouldn't you call yourself 'Zhen'?"
"I don't need it for you."
"You can also speak sweet words." Jiang Zhaoyue teased.
Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, "Are you tired of dressing so formally?"
Jiang Zhaoyue spoke frankly: "I'm tired. I'm sweating."
"Hold on for a while. You can change into lighter clothes after the ceremony."
"Is it appropriate for us to whisper these things on such a solemn occasion?"
"They'll think we're talking business anyway."
Jiang Zhaoyue followed up with, "Then let me say a few more words."
Pei Jingzhou said with a smile: "You say."
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately praised: "You are very handsome today."
Pei Jingzhou was also stingy with his praise: "You are very beautiful today, and very well behaved."
"good?"
"Well, there's nothing wrong with that."
"Well, because of you, because of you guys, because of love, I want to become a better person." Jiang Zhaoyue entered the book with a playful attitude, but now that she has someone she loves, she wants to cherish them and become a better person.
Pei Jingzhou's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Let's become better together."
"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue responded.
The two smiled at each other, held hands, and then faced forward together.
The crowd's cheers of "Long live the emperor" and "Thousands of years live the empress" rose with the morning sun and echoed throughout the palace.
