Anshun stood opposite the two men and began to read the imperial edict.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:
Su Jingyao, the daughter of Shang Shuling, is gentle and virtuous, talented and virtuous, graceful and kind-hearted.
Her appearance is like the peach blossoms in spring, bright and beautiful; her character is like the bright moon in autumn night, clear and flawless.
Since entering the Eastern Palace, you have strictly observed the code of conduct for women, been respectful and obedient, and have won my heart.
Now she is eight months pregnant and will soon give birth to a dragon heir for me. This is truly a blessing to me and a good thing for the royal family. The fetus in her belly is like a treasure given by heaven, carrying the hope of the king and the country.
She is kind-hearted, generous to others, and has dignified manners, making her a role model for the harem.
In recognition of her virtue, I have specially appointed her as Empress, the model mother of the world.
I hope she can lead the harem with a kind heart and assist me with her wisdom.
After she gives birth, an auspicious day will be chosen to hold a ceremony to crown her queen, and the announcement will be made to the world so that everyone will know.
I hereby order you."
After Anshun finished reading it, he put on a flattering smile, collected the imperial edict, held it in both hands, and handed it respectfully to the queen.
Su Jingyao took it and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your grace."
After saying that, Su Jingyao handed the imperial edict to Miaoyun and asked her to keep it properly.
Miaoyun took the imperial edict with both hands and stepped aside.
Jun Zechen's heart was overflowing with indescribable joy. He had always been calm and steady, but for the first time he felt splendor and warmth.
It was an emotion he couldn't explain. It turned out that having her as his queen would make him so happy, as if the softest corner of his heart was filled with this joy.
At this moment, he lacked the usual calmness that was not in line with his age, and his deep eyes were filled with a sense of high spirits.
Jun Zechen raised the corner of his mouth and stood up from the couch. He stretched out his hand in front of Su Jingyao, his fingers long and straight.
"Let's go, my queen. I'll take you to Kunning Palace."
His voice was deliberately deep and gentle, as if he was specifically trying to seduce women.
Su Jingyao raised her head slightly, and Jun Zechen's handsome face was reflected in her beautiful eyes.
Her gaze lingered on his face for a moment, then she smiled sweetly, raised her hand slightly, and placed it on Jun Zechen's hand.
His palm was warm and broad, and as soon as it touched hers, he held her tightly, as if conveying a firm promise.
Jun Zechen took her hand and walked out of Shuining Palace step by step.
The two of them sat on the imperial carriage together, and he held her intimately all the way from Shuining Palace to Kunning Palace.
When they arrived at Kunning Palace, Su Jingyao stared at the familiar palace and fell into a trance again.
Those past events kept flashing through her mind.
However, Jun Zechen beside her was looking straight ahead and did not notice the complex emotions in Su Jingyao's eyes.
She has lived in this palace for two lifetimes. In the first life, she competed openly and secretly with the women in the harem, and also constantly played games with Jun Zechen's heart.
She relied on her own strategy to win back the position of queen and even won Jun Zechen's heart.
But at that time, Su Jingyao had never believed in a man's sincerity. After all, Jun Zechen was the emperor, and his love had no guarantee. However, Jun Zechen used his love and his sincerity for twenty years to gain Su Jingyao's trust and love.
But even though Su Jingyao loved Jun Zechen in her first life, she loved herself more.
In her second life, she and Jun Zechen already had the memory of being together for a lifetime. They started over again, deeply loved and trusted each other.
She is Jun Zechen's Crown Princess and his only queen. For her, Jun Zechen has withstood the pressure from his mother and the court officials. She is the only one who has been with him throughout his life.
In Su Jingyao's heart, Jun Zechen in the second life is not only her lover, but also a family member, and they are no different from each other.
Sometimes Su Jingyao felt that in her second life, she loved Jun Zechen even more than herself. She would feel sorry for him working day and night for the government, would be nervous and restless because of his illness, and even cared about his subtle changes in mood.
But Su Jingyao didn't feel bad, because these emotions made Su Jingyao feel more fulfilled, because Jun Zechen cared about her more than she did about him.
Her love was no match for the love Jun Zechen poured into her.
They accompany each other and make each other happy.
In the past, in modern times, Su Jingyao lacked both love and money.
But compared to love and money, she desires money more and wants to live a good life even if she is alone.
So after traveling through time, she pursued power wholeheartedly and wanted to firmly grasp her own destiny in this era of supreme imperial power, and in the end she did it.
She became the most noble woman in the dynasty.
Jun Zechen's love was unexpected and also a great surprise.
Because of him, Su Jingyao truly felt happy.
Because of Jun Zechen's love, she became a person with a full heart and no longer lacking love. Because of Jun Zechen, Su Jingyao even learned how to love others.
But in this life, the man beside him is him and not him...
Su Jingyao's gaze fell on Jun Zechen again, and she felt confused and conflicted.
She knew everything that had happened in this life, so she also understood that Jun Zechen liked her now, but this liking never reached the level of deep love.
After all, he had been an emperor for decades in his previous life, and had experienced countless power struggles and changes in the world. His thoughts and state of mind had long been very different. It was not easy to truly touch his heart.
But Su Jingyao also knew in her heart that if she wanted to make this man fall in love with her, it would not be difficult, it was just a matter of time.
Su Jingyao knew exactly what kind of woman Jun Zechen liked and what kind of personality he preferred.
