After the previous emperor was buried, it was time for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

The new emperor said that everything should be kept simple, but the Ministry of Rites still worked hard for a month and finally put together a decent coronation ceremony.

The seventh day of the sixth lunar month was an auspicious day selected by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. The new emperor held his coronation ceremony and changed the country's name to Shun'an.

Good weather and peace in the country.

When a new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing he does is naturally to reward people according to their merits.

Prime Minister Luo had followed King Zhao before. Although he was smart enough not to escape with them and finally survived with a group of ministers, everything he did was remembered.

On the day the new emperor came to power, he imprisoned him and the ministers who had defected to King Zhao's lineage, and no one was allowed to visit them.

King Zhao's most loyal followers were killed as a sacrifice to the gods. Prime Minister Luo was the last one to survive. He was lucky enough to think that he was still useful to the new emperor, but he didn't expect that the new emperor would use him as a target after he ascended the throne.

Prime Minister Luo was beheaded, the Luo family was raided, and the Manchus were exiled.

Ye Feiyan's father became the prime minister, and Ye Feiyan successfully entered the Ministry of Rites.

There were not many ministers from the prince's lineage, but Qin Zhuo had already compiled a list for the new emperor, and all the loyal and capable generals were on the list. The new emperor was also obedient and promoted officials according to the rewards from above. The court was in good order and had a vibrant look.

The most eye-catching among these heroes must be Princess Changle.

A thief and a rebel king, both died at the hands of Princess Changle.

He took the head of King Zhao in the midst of thousands of troops. It seemed like he was cooperating, but in fact he was disguising himself and killed the Sixth Prince easily.

The military commanders were full of admiration for the courage and bravery of the operation, while the civil officials had no idea how to find fault with it even if they broke their pens.

Say she is a woman? Oh, a group of men are inferior to women, it is simply a humiliation for themselves.

Do you say women can't be generals? Women shouldn't be officials?

The merits are there. If you want to find fault with them, ask the emperor or the King of Qi whether he agrees.

In the end, no one said anything.

The new emperor granted Li Xuan a divorce from Luo Yuanchen in accordance with her request and gave her a new mansion not far from Shen Ning's home.

The gold and silver rewards were small matters. The most important thing was that she was named General Changle, a second-rank title, and was given silver armor, a red-flame spear, and a fiefdom, and was appointed commander of the three divisions of the imperial guards.

Power, identity, and status are all possessed by one person, and she is a woman at that. This is simply enviable.

But no matter how jealous these people are, they have to hold it in. This is the merit of following the dragon.

When Li Xuan got the title, the first thing she did was to find Shen Ning. While sharing her joy, she gave Shen Ning a heavy blow.

The Luo family was exiled, and the Li family was also implicated and demoted. She did not use her status as a princess to save Luo Yuanchen as she did in her previous life, but instead kept Li Shaobai.

Let Li Shaobai stay as the manager of her house.

The most important thing is that Li Shaobai agreed.

Shen Ning: “…”

These sisters are surprisingly smart.

After all these twists and turns, is it possible that Li Shaobai and her will finally get married?

---------

After the reward, the emperor finally summoned Shen Ning.

A carriage was sent to pick her up, and Li Xuan personally led the troops to escort her.

This is impossible to refuse.

Shen Ning knew this day would come, and had someone make her a set of clothes. It was moon-white brocade with silver jacquard patterns, and a dark blue jacket embroidered with simple patterns. This way, her clothes would not look like mourning clothes, but they would not be too gaudy either.

Even though the emperor was buried, no ceremonies or fine clothes were allowed for at least ninety-nine days, so Shen Ning only wore three jade hairpins of different styles on her head to fix her hair, and her makeup was elegant and decent.

Since her rebirth, Shen Ning has preferred brightly colored clothes. Suddenly wearing this made her a little dazed.

From now on, everything in the past and present life has become different. The new emperor will ascend the throne, and it will be a new beginning.

On the way to the palace, the emperor knew that she was in poor health, so he specially sent a sedan chair to pick her up.

The sedan stopped at the gate of one of the emperor's palaces. Li Xuan took Shen Ning's hand and helped her down. He leaned over and whispered to her, "Luoxia Palace, this is not the place where the emperor officially receives outsiders."

Li Xuan didn't know what the little emperor was planning, but she told Shen Ning so that she would know what was going on.

"Miss Shen, please."

Shen Ning was led in by the eunuch and saw the table set up beside the lotus pond and the familiar figure standing there.

Bowing, she said: "Your servant Shen Ning pays respect to Your Majesty..."

"Sister!" The young man's joyful voice interrupted her speech. The corner of a white dragon robe embroidered with golden dragons flashed before her eyes, and she was helped up.

The five-dragon purple gold crown and the dragon robe all confirmed that the young man in front of her was the current emperor, but his expression was no different from the first time she saw him.

He smiled very sweetly and endearingly: "I finally get to see my sister."

As she spoke, her expression became very cautious: "You were so badly injured because of me, but I haven't visited you for so long, will my sister be angry with me?"

Shen Ning: “…” What is this little brat trying to do?

"Now that I see you here today, I am not angry anymore."

Li Yan smiled with narrowed eyes: "That's good, I was afraid that my sister would become estranged from me."

They're not ripe, are they?

He took Shen Ning to sit down. There were various snacks on the table and in front of them was a spacious lotus pond with koi fish as long as arms swimming leisurely in it.

"I went to see my sister that day, but I didn't expect to bring you into danger. We met twice in total, and it seems that I almost killed you both times..."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Shen Ning looked at him for a long time. It was hard to guess what this man was thinking. Although he was very young, it was actually very difficult for people to see through him.

This act of pretending to be good seemed more like the side of him that he wanted others to see, but she had never seen the real him, at least.

"It's all in the past. It's impossible for such a thing to happen again in the future. Your Majesty, there's no need to mention it again."

"Is this what your majesty summoned me to today?"

Li Yan stared at her, his dark eyes filled with disappointment: "I thought we were friends for life, but you treat me like an emperor and refuse to talk to me properly?"

Shen Ning: "...Then I'll forgive you for daring to offend me."

After saying this, she considered it for a moment before speaking: "I'm very happy to see you today."

The smile on Li Yan's face became more genuine: "Me too."

Shen Ning thought he was stupid: "How's your injury? Is it healed?"

Li Yan nodded: "It's okay now."

After saying this, his eyes fell on Shen Ning's hand, and he said firmly: "I will definitely let the imperial physician cure you."

Shen Ning raised his right hand: "It's not a big problem. Besides, even if it's broken, I can exchange one hand for your life, which is a huge profit."

Li Yan recalled that day. His consciousness was hazy, but he could still feel the blood flowing on his face, hot and sticky.

I heard that his face and neck were covered in blood. The imperial physician was shocked and thought that his neck was seriously injured. It was only after he wiped the blood clean that he realized it was not his.
