Chapter 285 The Throne Ceremony

Yunchuan and the Shi father and son returned one after another and caught up with Xu Wusheng's coronation ceremony.

It was not yet dawn, but the palace was already bustling with activity.

Palace maids and eunuchs shuttled between the palaces, making final preparations for the upcoming coronation ceremony.

The palace was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity.

For this coronation ceremony, Shi Jin and Fan Hua also received invitations to enter the palace.

As soon as the sky turned pale, the two of them set out in their best attire.

After arriving at the palace, there was still some time before the ceremony officially began, so they took advantage of the free time to stroll around the palace.

As they walked leisurely into the garden, the palace maids passing by stopped and saluted them respectfully.

Occasionally, Shi Jin and Fan Hua would hear the palace maids whispering in the distance.

"They are the Prince of Shengqing and the Crown Princess. They look such a good match." A young palace maid couldn't help but whisper.

Another maid nodded in agreement, her eyes sparkling with envy: "Yes, a talented man and a beautiful woman, standing together is really pleasing to the eyes."

"Just now, the daughter of the Yun family, the future empress, also entered the palace. She is so gentle and lovely." Another palace maid gossiped in a low voice.

"Your Majesty and the daughter of the Yun family are equally matched. If they stand together, it will be a real feast for the eyes."

When Shi Jin heard these discussions, he suddenly remembered the plot in the book.

Not long after Xu Wusheng ascends the throne, he will marry Yun Youying, and this will be the finale.

Thinking of this, Shi Jin turned his head and asked Fan Hua beside him softly: "Is the wedding date of His Majesty and Ying'er coming soon?"

Fan Hua nodded slightly, with a hint of smile in his eyes, and replied softly: "Yes, after careful calculation, it is indeed less than a month."

At this time, Xu was sleeping silently in the palace.

Xu Wusheng took Yun Youying's hand and came to the gorgeous dragon robe.

Xu Wusheng's voice was full of emotion, "Ying'er, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

As he spoke, the days in the past when he had been planning day and night and running around in order to ascend the throne flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Yun Youying nodded slightly, her eyes filled with tenderness and trust, like a deep lake, reflecting Xu Wusheng's figure.

"Congratulations to your Majesty for achieving your wish. Your Majesty cares about the world and will surely be a benevolent ruler who works hard and loves the people in the future."

Xu Wusheng couldn't suppress his inner emotions, and gently embraced Yun Youying in his arms, saying firmly: "In the years to come, I want to grow old with you, govern our country, and let the people live a peaceful and prosperous life."

After that, he let go of Yun Youying slightly, looked at her affectionately, and said, "Our wedding date is approaching. I have ordered the best embroiderer in the palace to use the finest silk and precious threads to carefully sew a phoenix crown and bridal robe for you. Please take a look and see if it suits your taste. If there is anything wrong, feel free to send someone to redo it. I will make sure it satisfies you."

Yun Youying gently stroked the bright red wedding dress, her fingertips running across the delicate silk, feeling the exquisite embroidery on it.

The phoenix embroidered on the wedding dress looked lifelike, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly high.

Yun Youying raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile: "I like it very much, thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Wusheng looked at the shy and charming Yun Youying in front of him, and couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead.

His gaze slowly moved down and landed on her delicate red lips, and an irrepressible lust flashed in his eyes for a moment.

He lowered his head slightly and slowly approached, his breathing becoming a little rapid.

When Yun Youying noticed Xu Wusheng's action, her heart skipped a beat like a deer's. She nervously and subconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes with her hands.

A blush appeared on her face and spread to the tips of her ears, making her look like a ripe apple, so beautiful and tempting.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming more and more charming, Eunuch Hong suddenly appeared at the door. He said in a voice full of urgency and joy: "Your Majesty, the time is almost up, we will change your clothes..."

Seeing someone suddenly come in, the two of them quickly distanced themselves.

Yun Youying felt her face burning, and she turned away as if she was afraid to face anyone.

Seeing this, Xu Wusheng smiled.

Don’t worry, you will be his soon, and there is still a long way to go.

Eunuch Hong did not expect to witness this scene and turned away in panic.

"This old slave deserves death, this old slave deserves death..."

Xu Wusheng quickly regained his composure and ordered in an orderly manner: "Eunuch Hong, come and change my clothes quickly, don't delay the time."

Seeing this, Yun Youying was about to leave, with a hint of shyness still in her voice: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

The next second, Xu Wusheng grabbed her hand, his tone was full of tenderness that could not be refused: "Ying'er, on such an important day, I want you to accompany me."

"Okay." Yun Youying responded with a smile, the blush on her face gradually faded, replaced by full happiness.

She stood aside, watching the palace maids silently changing Xu's clothes, her eyes full of love and expectation.

As the hour of Chen arrived, cannons roared and drums and music played.

Xu Wusheng, wearing a gorgeous dragon robe embroidered with nine golden dragons, walked out of the bedroom holding Yun Youying's hand and headed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the coronation ceremony was held.

Yun Youying was a little flustered when she saw Xu Wusheng wanted to take her with him to the coronation ceremony, "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with etiquette."

After all, in this strictly hierarchical imperial palace, rules and etiquette cannot be easily broken.

Xu Wusheng's eyes were filled with determination and courage. He held Yun Youying's hand tightly, as if giving her strength: "It's okay. I said I wanted you to accompany me at this important moment. Besides, you will be my queen soon. Nothing is impossible."

After saying that, he firmly took Yun Youying's hand and strode forward, both of them with happy smiles on their faces.

In the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the officials had already lined up in an orderly manner.

When they saw Yun Youying beside Xu Wusheng, their expressions changed and they all started talking in low voices.

The newly appointed Minister of Rites frowned, his face full of worry: "The coronation ceremony is so solemn, how can we bring her along?"

"Yes, it's not in line with our ancestral rules. It's not in line with our ancestral rules." A minister also echoed.

After saying this, his eyes did not forget to fall on Yun Zhengting, as if with a hint of blame.

It's okay to blame him for teaching his daughter.

Yun Zhengting thought he knew his daughter was well-behaved and sensible and would not do such a thing, so it must be the emperor's intention.

Yun Zhengting's face darkened, he bowed and looked around at everyone and said, "My daughter has always been polite and well-behaved. Your Majesty brought her to the ceremony today. How can we easily guess the deep meaning of this?"

Shi Wei was not used to it and said, "Your Majesty hasn't said anything yet, why are you worrying about it?"

King Shengqing: "Although the ancestral system cannot be abolished, it is not immutable. My lords, please do not just stick to the old rules. In my opinion, Miss Yun is a rare beauty with noble character and extraordinary intelligence. She and Your Majesty are in tune with each other. As the ancient saying goes, "A harmonious family brings prosperity." For the royal family, the deep love between Your Majesty and Miss Yun is a blessing for the royal family and the court."

"Shut up!" Suddenly, a low shout was heard, and everyone shut up. King Jing'an looked stern, and his eyes swept over everyone.

"Your Majesty has his own considerations. These are not things you should worry about. Please stop discussing them!"

Only then did everyone become quiet.

Xu Wusheng and Yun Youying climbed onto the platform surrounded by hundreds of officials, turned around and faced everyone, exuding their majesty.

All the officials knelt on the ground in unison and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Eunuch Hong, who presided over the ceremony, read the imperial edict aloud, announcing that the new emperor had ascended the throne and would rule the world.

Afterwards, Xu Wusheng delivered a speech after ascending the throne: "I have received the mandate of heaven and ascended this great throne. I must work hard to govern the country and benefit the people. I wish to create glory with you and usher in a peaceful and prosperous era!"

As soon as he finished speaking, deafening cheers rang out again.

What followed was a series of cumbersome rituals.

The new emperor worshipped heaven and earth, respectfully informed his ancestors, and prayed for peace and prosperity for the country and good weather.

After the coronation ceremony, Xu Wusheng returned to the palace accompanied by everyone.

Along the way, the people lined the streets to cheer and vied to see the new emperor's elegance.
