Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

"The Emperor's edict... Look, it's the Emperor's edict. The Emperor abdicates and the Regent ascends the throne..."

"You are still called the Regent, His Majesty..."

The imperial edicts were posted in busy streets all over the capital, and the people who gathered around were extremely noisy.

Jiang Qingwu and Wan Yuexing arrived here and were pushed to the back.

"Here... there is also the daughter of the Shunqing Marquisate... the daughter of the Shunqing Marquisate who is engaged to the Prince Regent."

"Yes, no wonder she didn't get married and become a princess. It turned out that she became the queen directly."

"Shh... keep your voice down. You are the emperor and empress from now on. Do not offend them."

Jiang Qingwu listened to the discussions of the people and felt dazed and filled with emotion.

"Girl..." Luo Ming hurriedly found Jiang Qingwu from the crowd.

Jiang Qingwu also came back to his senses and walked silently towards a sparsely populated place not far away.

"What's the matter? What's the hurry?"

Luo Ming's face was filled with joy, and he looked at Jiang Qingwu breathlessly, "Eunuch Zhong from Shangyang Palace is here to announce the decree, and he is already in the mansion."

"And...Miss, please go back to the mansion soon. The Marquis and the Young Master are back."

Father? Big brother?

Yan Xiuchen just told them to return to Beijing these two days, so why are they here today?

Jiang Qingwu looked stunned, then turned around and hurried away.

When Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the family members were standing in the yard.

Jiang Ruhai, Jiang Qingbai, Yuya, Su Su, as well as Eunuch Zhong who came to deliver the imperial edict and Gu Yanbai who was sitting in the corridor enjoying the view.

"Father?!" When Jiang Qingwu saw the weather-beaten Jiang Ruhai, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. Wanyue behind him also knelt down.

"After several months of absence, I came to see my father..."

"Hurry up, get up... You can't kneel in front of me now." Jiang Ruhai hurriedly pulled Jiang Qingwu up.

Seeing this, Eunuch Zhong on the side hurried over.

"Your servant Zhong Quan pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen..."

Jiang Qingwu was stunned and his heart tightened slightly.

Although Yan Xiuchen told her yesterday that the succession decree would be announced to the world today.

But she was a girl yesterday, and today she has become the queen?

This was the first time she heard someone call her Queen. She was not used to it and remained silent for a long time before she responded.

"Get up, you come...to announce the decree?"

"Yes, I am here to deliver your order..."

As he spoke, Zhong Quan bowed slightly to Jiang Qingwu and walked forward.

"Marquis Shunqing Jiang Ruhai, Queen Jiang Qingwu received the order..."

Hearing the sound, everyone knelt on the ground.

Jiang Qingwu and Jiang Ruhai knelt side by side at the front, followed closely by Su Su and Yuya.

According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:

I have inherited the destiny of Heaven and carried on the great cause, thanks to the spirits of the ancestral temples and the country, and the assistance of the entire Jiang family.

Shunqing Hou was specially appointed as the general guarding the country and the leader of the princes.

His wife, Ms. Su, was granted the title of Lady Shuhui, a first-rank official.

His eldest son Jiang Qingbai was the Minister of War, and his second son Jiang Qingyu was the Hewu General of the Fengtian Camp in Kyoto, in charge of the Kyoto troops.

Jiang Qingwu, the legitimate daughter of Shunqing Marquis, has a noble character, is kind to the world, and is both virtuous and talented. I have admired her since I was young and have been seeking her for a long time.

Today, I confer the title of Empress Zhaowu to Jiang Qingwu, grant her the residence of Fengxiang Palace, and grant you the Precious Phoenix Seal, and allow you to manage the affairs of the world with me.

From then on, the queen no longer had to follow the rules of propriety, fulfill her duties as a wife, or bear the responsibility of having children...

My hope is that you can continue to be like before, doing what you want, being free and easy.

Admire this!

……

"I accept your order and thank you..."

The voices of Jiang Ruhai and his family drowned out Jiang Qingwu's dazed mumblings.

Thanks to the spirits of the ancestral temple and the whole Jiang family for their support...

She had waited for these words from Yan Lin for many years.

In her previous life, the entire Jiang family supported Yan Lin, and in the end, even though she entered the palace, she never received this imperial edict.

It turns out that it’s never about not being able to wait, but about waiting for the wrong person.

"Your Majesty... please accept the decree." Eunuch Zhong leaned over and handed the imperial edict to Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu finally came to his senses, looked at Jiang Ruhai standing beside him, and took the imperial edict in both hands.

Then, Zhong Quan took the box held by the eunuch behind him and handed it to Jiang Qingwu.

"Your Majesty, the Queen's Phoenix Seal."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the queen's seal in the box and opened the imperial edict in a daze.

"I hope you can be like before, do what you want, be free and unrestrained..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the last sentence and murmured softly. No one could understand what this sentence meant to her.

Looking at Yan Xiuchen's handwriting and the imperial seal on the imperial edict, the depression in his heart finally dissipated a little.

"He wrote it down in the imperial edict. Is this for the public to see?"

Zhong Quan heard the voice and moved closer with a smile on his face. "Yes, of course. The imperial decree to establish the queen has been announced to the world by the Ministry of Rites and has reached all countries."

As he spoke, Zhong Quan bowed to Jiang Ruhai and said, "My Lord, pass on His Majesty's order."

"His Majesty said that he would come to the Marquis' Mansion tonight to have a reunion dinner with everyone..."

Zhong Quan said halfway, turned his head to look at Yuya and Jiang Qingwu holding the imperial edict and whispering, and leaned close to Jiang Ruhai's ear.

Jiang Ruhai looked at Zhong Quan in disbelief, his face full of shock, "This... This is against the rules."

"Yes, if Your Majesty says it is yes, then it is yes." Zhong Quan said with a smile, looking at Gu Yanbai who was not far away.

"Mr. Gu will take care of the rest."

As he spoke, Zhong Quan bowed to Jiang Ruhai and Jiang Qingwu.

"My lady, my lord, I will take my leave first."

"Okay, let's send my father-in-law off." Jiang Ruhai agreed.

Seeing Zhong Quan walking away, he walked towards the center of the courtyard. Jiang Qingwu, who was still holding the imperial edict and had not yet come to his senses, heard the sound of people from all over the mansion bowing.

"Your Highness, may your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Jiang Qingwu's body trembled and she was suddenly startled. She turned around and saw her parents, elder brother, Yuya, and the servants in the mansion kneeling in front of her.

"Father? Daddy...get up quickly, get up quickly..."

Jiang Qingwu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly helped Jiang Ruhai up.

"Daddy, are you trying to scare me to death? Don't ever do that again."

"According to etiquette, you have to kneel. From now on, you will be the queen in full honor." Su Su said with a smile, her eyes shining.

Seeing this, Yuya came closer and said, "Mother, the blessing of our Jiang family is yet to come."

"Yes, mother, now our Jiang family is at its peak, Your Highness..." Jiang Qingbai said halfway and then suddenly came to his senses.

"It should be your majesty."

"Your Majesty values ​​friendship and will not treat our Jiang family unfairly in the future."

Jiang Qingwu listened, and then hurriedly held the imperial edict in front of Jiang Ruhai, "Father, look here, look here, the merits of the whole Jiang family in assisting the emperor..."

"I see. You have made an indelible contribution to our Jiang family's current status."

"If you and Yan Lin had been engaged..."

Jiang Ruhai gently stroked Jiang Qingwu's head and sighed thoughtfully.

Jiang Qingwu also came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Ruhai, then turned to look at the people in the yard, and suddenly realized something.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the servants smiling and whispering in every corner of the yard, and looked at his family standing neatly in the yard, and couldn't help but think of the night when the Jiang family was massacred in his previous life.

In the same place, in this very yard, right at her feet, blood flowed like a river.

But the scene at this moment was completely contrary to the scene in her memory.

Suddenly, she felt a little dazed and felt that her past and present life were just a dream.

"I changed... all the tragedies of my previous life..."
