Chapter 1598: Ascension (2)

“Why did you get angry out of the blue …” Second uncle Xu tried to reason with his wife.

Xu Qi ‘an glanced at his eldest sister and said, ”

Alright, alright. There’s no need to quarrel because of them. Second uncle, let’s drink.

Xu lingyue said sweetly,

“Big brother, let’s drink.”

She obediently poured him some wine.

Look at that sister from Yunzhou, she only wants to harm you, unlike me, who only cares about big brother.

………

At seven o ‘clock in the morning, the sky started to brighten.

The drums in the palace sounded in unison, forming a Grand movement.

The coronation ceremony was unusually cumbersome. First, the minister of rites would lead the officials to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth for the new king.

After it ended, the new emperor wore his mourning clothes and offered sacrifices to the ancestors of the Imperial temple.

After these two steps were completed, the coronation ceremony officially began.

The minister of rites led the officials to the Temple of Heaven, the agricultural altar, and the Imperial temple to inform the gods and the spirits of the previous emperors that the new emperor was about to succeed the throne.

After he returned, the ceremonial music was played and the majestic sound of the bell echoed outside the throne room.

The eastern Palace.

Huaiqing put on a large fur crown with the help of the palace maids.

The uniform’s structure was extremely complicated, consisting of a crown, a middle piece, a coat, a black robe, and a woven garment. The crown was made of gold, and there were twelve beads hanging down.

The shirt was painted with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, Dragons, and Chinese insects. There were six patterns on the lower garment, including embroidered algae, fire, rice, Zong Yi, Yi, and Qian, with a total of twelve chapters, thus it was also called the twelve-chapter garment.

After dressing up, the two Palace maids carried a bronze mirror that was as tall as a person and placed it in front of huaiqing.

In the bronze mirror, the eldest Princess had light makeup on and her long brows were drawn, accentuating her heroic spirit.

She was originally a cold and Noble woman, and now that she was wearing twelve-chapter clothes and twelve-chapter crown, she exuded a noble and majestic aura.

Even the head Palace maid, who was usually all smiles, did not dare to breathe loudly at this moment. She lowered her head and brows, as docile as a quail.

There were few women in the world who were so domineering.

An official from the Ministry of Rites stepped through the eastern Palace gate and respectfully said through the curtain, ”

“Your Highness, the time has come.”

Huaiqing grunted in acknowledgment and left the eastern Palace, escorted by the palace maids and eunuchs. Under the majestic sound of the bell and drum, he headed for the throne room.

After crossing the Golden water Bridge and the square, Huai Qing walked on the Imperial carriage and looked at the throne room in front of him. He could vaguely see the throne high up in the resplendent Hall.

What flashed through her mind was yuan jing, who was suspicious by nature and could not tolerate his talented son to be in power;It was Wei Yuan, the great National warrior with white hair on his temples.It was the great Guardian supervisor who had calculated everything;It was Yongxing who was weak, incompetent, and lacked courage.

When she waved her sleeve and sat on the throne, there was no one in her eyes.

It was all in the past!

It would be her time, no, her time with Xu Qi ‘an.

She and he were the two people who stood at the peak of power in Da Feng.
