Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

On September 1st, the sky was blue, the sky was clear, the sun was shining, and the clouds were soft. It was indeed a good day calculated to hold the coronation ceremony. The weather was so good that it seemed like a painting.

The huge square in front of the Xuan Zheng Hall was almost full of people in each division and team.

Everyone straightened their backs as much as possible, and watched the tall, bright yellow figure climbing the stairs with concentration and worship.

The stairs came to an end and the bright yellow figure turned around.

The Emperor is the supreme ruler, with natural majesty.

The emperor's eyes were as sharp as torches, deep and domineering, making people involuntarily want to submit to him.

"kneel!"

Everyone knelt on their knees.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

……

The majestic "Long Live" soars into the sky, and its echo lingers for a long time.

The emperor surveyed the square with his deep eyes and then turned and entered the Xuanzheng Hall.

A very small number of people who were standing at the front stood up silently, bowed slightly, and followed the emperor.

These people include Mu Yao and Gu Yan.

Not including Cheng Wan.

Although Cheng Wan was a marquis and qualified to participate in such a grand occasion, her official position was too low and she was not qualified to enter the Xuan Zheng Hall on the day of the emperor's enthronement ceremony.

In the square, Cheng Wan knelt on the ground like everyone else, listening to the imperial edicts coming from the Xuanzheng Hall.

First, he changed the reign title to Qitai and issued a general amnesty.

Second, Mu Yao's mother was named Queen Zhenyuan.

Third, Mu Yao was named the crown prince.

……

Finally, open Enke.

"rise!"

When Cheng Wan's legs were almost numb from kneeling, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony finally shouted "Stand up".

The coronation ceremony ended here, and what happened next had nothing to do with those people kneeling in the square.

Cheng Wan gently rubbed his sore knees and hurried to find Old Lady Lin and Wang.

Cheng Wan, Old Lady Lin and Mrs. Wang stood in different areas and teams.

The people around Cheng Wan are all lords without real power, while the area where Old Lady Lin and Wang live are all inhabited by noble ladies.

"Marquis Zhaoping runs really fast."

The elderly Guangde Hou looked at Cheng Wan's back and flicked his sleeves with disdain.

The person next to him stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Why does Marquis Guangde care about a little girl? Why don't you go to my house and have a drink?"

……

On the other side, Cheng Wan had already found Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang, who were at a loss and looked panicked.

"Mother."

Cheng Wan quickly ran to Old Lady Lin and Wang and supported Old Lady Lin.

"Oh..." When Old Lady Lin saw Cheng Wan, she wanted to blurt out "Ouch", but suddenly realized that this was the imperial palace, and she swallowed half of the word.

She held Cheng Wan's arm, and her anxious heart finally calmed down a little.

"Ah Wan, is this the end?"

Wang held Mrs. Lin's other arm and asked Cheng Wan in a low voice.

Cheng Wan shook his head and said softly, "Not yet, but what happens next has nothing to do with us, we can go home now."

"That's good, that's good..." Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

It was so uncomfortable for her.

Wearing the imperial crown and robes, the whole person seemed to be imprisoned, especially the head. For a long time, he dared not move, for fear of shaking the imperial crown askew.

My body feels uncomfortable and my mind feels even more uncomfortable.

Born as a peasant woman, she entered the palace and was surrounded by elegant and dignified ladies. She always felt that she did not fit in with them. She even couldn't help wondering if she had done something wrong, which caused others to ridicule her and brought shame to her daughter.

Cheng Wan and Wang supported Old Lady Lin and walked out according to the palace servant's instructions. Wherever they passed by, they always attracted a lot of attention.

These looks are full of curiosity, disdain, and contempt...

People are different, and their perspectives are also different.

Cheng Wan completely ignored the gazes from others. While supporting Old Lady Lin, he whispered to Old Lady Lin and Wang about the buildings they saw.

She had strolled around this palace before.

Of course, I should seize the opportunity to introduce it to my family.

Cheng Wan's behavior made people around him disdainful.

Some people even took a few quick steps to move away from Cheng Wan and the other two, as if they were afraid that if they were any slower they would be contaminated by their rusticity.

However, no matter how unhappy they were with Cheng Wan and the other two, no one said bad things to them or took the initiative to cause trouble.

We are all people of status and we cannot do such degrading things.

More importantly, in today's situation, anyone with a normal mind would not take the initiative to cause trouble.

Outside the imperial city, there were carriages one after another.

Further away, the people of Beijing were shoulder to shoulder.

The emperor went to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices in the morning and came back. The people of the capital had been waiting on both sides of the roads before dawn. They watched the imperial carriage leave the city and saw it off when it returned. Until this moment, they were reluctant to leave.

Old Lady Lin looked at the people standing on tiptoe in the distance and couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought that one day we would become nobles in the eyes of ordinary people."

"Who said it wasn't?" Wang felt indescribable emotion in her heart.

In the past, the Cheng family would have thought it was a daydream to enter the palace, let alone the capital to watch the fun.

No, I would never daydream like that.

Thinking of this, Wang turned her head to look at Cheng Wan who was helping Old Lady Lin get into the carriage, her heart filled with pride.

The carriage rumbled away from the imperial city, and Old Lady Lin's back, which had been straight for most of the day, finally relaxed.

"Oh, I will never come to the palace again. It's too tiring and scary!" Old Lady Lin grabbed Cheng Wan's arm, looking scared:

"Ah Wan, you don't know that if I stand with your mother, I will be just like fools.

I dared not say a word or make any noise, for fear of attracting someone's attention!

And this imperial crown is so uncomfortable to wear. It would be better to wear a piece of cloth on your head!"

Wang nodded heavily, then quickly reached out to hold the imperial crown on her head: "Those ladies are really amazing. I saw them standing for such a long time, and kneeling for such a long time, as if nothing had happened. I can't do it anymore. It feels much more tiring than working in the fields!"

Cheng Wan was amused by Old Lady Lin and Wang, and reached out to take off the imperial crown for Old Lady Lin.

“Don’t!” Old Lady Lin quickly dodged Cheng Wan’s hand and coughed, “It was still dark when we left the house this morning, and your father and the others couldn’t see clearly. Now that you are wearing something so revealing, let’s go back and let your father and the others take a good look.”

As she spoke, Old Lady Lin carefully straightened her imperial crown, which was not crooked.

Cheng Wan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, then turned to look at Wang.

Wang blinked and cleared her throat.

OK.

"Come to think of it, I only saw the emperor's back today, but not his face. I don't know what he looks like."

Cheng Wan helped Old Lady Lin smooth the large folds of her clothes and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince looks very much like the Emperor. If you imagine what the Crown Prince looks like, you will probably know what the Emperor looks like."

Prince?

Old Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang fell into reminiscence.

"By the way, I heard that the emperor promoted A-Yan to the title of Crown Prince's Guest? What is the title of Crown Prince's Guest?"
