Balala the Magic Fairy

After intense preparations by the Ministry of Rites, the day of the coronation ceremony finally arrived.

On this day, the Shang Palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and was filled with joy.

Civil and military officials gathered together, waiting for the new king's coronation ceremony.

Ruyi stood in front of the bronze mirror, and the palace maids put on the dragon robe and crown that symbolized royal power for him.

"Empress, no, now I should call you Holy Emperor Yihui." Yan Lili walked in with a smile on her face and her eyes full of respect.

Ruyi turned around and looked at Yan Lili, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes.

"Madam Lihua, you have been my right-hand man over the years. Now that I have ascended the throne, you will be my right-hand man. Let's work together to make Shang State even stronger."

Yan Lili nodded and said, "Holy Emperor, I will do my best to assist you in governing the Shang Kingdom."

In the southern suburbs of the Shang Palace, Ruyi was standing in front of the Temple of Heaven, wearing a dragon robe woven with gold thread and a crown inlaid with gems.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on him. He held three incense sticks in his hands and prayed to the sky, declaring that he would soon take on the heavy responsibility of the Shang State.

"God bless the Shang Kingdom, and may our ancestors protect us. Ruyi will live up to everyone's expectations when she ascends the throne today."

Ruyi's voice floated in the morning breeze, and his eyes were firm and pious.

After the ceremony of reporting to heaven, Ruyi went to the Taimiao, where the tablets of the kings of the Shang Dynasty were enshrined.

He knelt before his ancestors and made a silent vow.

"Ancestors, Ruyi has taken over the heavy responsibility of the Shang Kingdom today. May your heroic spirits guide me forward and allow me to lead the Shang Kingdom to glory."

As bells and drums rang, Ruyi, surrounded by civil and military officials, slowly walked into the Taiji Hall.

The hall is magnificent and the atmosphere is solemn and dignified.

Ruyi announced that the reign title would be changed to "Yide", implying that she would govern the country with virtue and promote the virtues of the previous kings.

His voice was firm and powerful, echoing in every corner of the hall, allowing everyone present to feel the new emperor's determination and majesty.

"My dear ministers, from today on, the Shang Kingdom will usher in a new era. I, Ruyi, will use 'Yide' as the reign title and lead everyone to write the glory of the Shang Kingdom together."

Following Ruyi's order, the ceremonial officer began to read the accession edict.

The edict elaborated in detail the new emperor's philosophy of governing the country, advocating benevolent governance at home and advocating peace abroad. At the same time, it promised to reduce the tax burden on the people and strengthen the country's defense capabilities to ensure the long-term stability of the Shang State.

"The Holy Emperor is wise, and the Shang Kingdom will surely usher in a prosperous era!" A white-haired old minister said excitedly, his voice trembling but full of power.

After the imperial edict was read, all the civil and military officials shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor." The sound shook the earth.

Ruyi stood up slowly and his eyes swept over everyone.

"My dear ministers, I declare a general amnesty today. I hope all my subjects can feel my benevolence and contribute to the prosperity of the Shang Kingdom."

At the end of the coronation ceremony, Ruyi held a grand banquet in the palace to entertain all the ministers.

At the banquet, there were fine wines and delicious food, singing and dancing, and Ruyi drank with all the ministers.

"Holy Emperor, your benevolence and wisdom will surely lead us to a bright future." Weibei General Mu Nihuang stood up and raised his glass to salute.

After the banquet, Ruyi, accompanied by the palace maids, slowly walked back to her bedroom.

The day of selecting the concubine was sunny and the harem was bustling with activity. The maids were busy preparing the venue, while the eunuchs were responsible for guiding the concubines who came to participate in the selection.

Ruyi, wearing a dragon robe woven with gold thread and a crown inlaid with gems, sat on the main seat in the selection hall. Yan Lili assisted her, looking carefully at each of the ministers to ensure that each of the candidates met the selection criteria.

"Holy Emperor, the selection of concubines has been completed, and the ministers are already waiting outside the palace." Yan Lili reported to Ruyi softly.

Ruyi nodded, and his voice echoed in the hall: "Call the ministers to enter the hall."

Following Ruyi's order, a group of ministers dressed in various costumes slowly walked into the hall.

Some of them are heroic, some are noble, and each of them has a vision for the future and awe of the royal family.

Ruyi's eyes swept over the ministers one by one. He knew that some of these immortals would become his ministers, and some would become eunuchs in the palace. Their fates would change today.

"My dear ministers, you have all gone through layers of selection to be able to stand here." Ruyi's voice was gentle but powerful. "I hope you can cherish this opportunity. No matter what the result is, you must maintain your dignity and character."

The ministers all saluted, their voices in unison: "We will follow the instructions of the Holy Emperor."

The process of selecting attendants was rigorous and orderly. Ruyi and Yan Lili considered the attendants based on their appearance, temperament, talent and other aspects.

In the end, several ministers stood out and were selected as ministers of the harem.

As the selection of concubines came to an end, Ruyi and Yan Lili both felt a little tired. But their hearts were also filled with satisfaction, because they knew that this selection of concubines not only added new members to the harem, but also injected new vitality into the future of Shang.

"Madam Lihua, you have made a great contribution to today's event." Ruyi expressed her gratitude to Yan Lili for her assistance.

Yan Lili smiled slightly, with a hint of humility in his eyes: "Your Majesty is too kind, I am just doing my duty."

Ruyi nodded. He knew Yan Lili's ability and loyalty, which made him full of confidence in the future of Shang Kingdom.

As night falls, the lights in the harem gradually light up, giving this ancient palace a mysterious veil.

Ruyi stood in front of the window, gazing at the starry sky in the distance, her heart filled with infinite longing for the future.

The next day, Yan Lili stood in the main hall of the harem. With a firm look in his eyes and a clear voice, he announced the new harem system to all the new ministers who had entered the palace.

"My dear ministers, from today on, we will manage the harem according to the new system."

Yan Lili's voice echoed in the hall.

The ministers in the harem listened to Yan Lili's announcement, with all kinds of emotions in their eyes.

Some feel excited, some feel worried, but more are looking forward to the future.

"The Empress is the legitimate wife of the Holy Emperor. This dynasty does not have one. I will temporarily take on the responsibilities of the Empress and manage the harem for the Holy Emperor."

"Your Majesty, your position is second only to that of the Empress. You will be appointed one person to assist this Madam in managing the harem."

"The next level, noble ladies, consists of four people, and their status is the same as that of the concubines in the previous dynasty."

"Next level, sir."

"Next level, my lord."

"One level again, Attendant."

"The last one is the promise."

Yan Lili's voice echoed in the hall. His eyes were firm as he continued to announce the most critical item in the new harem system.

"My dear ministers, in order to maintain order in the harem, from today onwards, every minister of the Holy Emperor will be planted with restrictions."

There was a hint of seriousness in Yan Lili's words to show the importance of this rule. "The existence of this ban is to ensure our loyalty to the Holy Emperor and the harmony of the harem."

"Once anyone is found to have committed adultery, the ban will be activated immediately, and the Holy Emperor and I will immediately receive the relevant information."

"As the Holy Emperor's assistant minister, we are not only his companions, but also part of the Shang Kingdom." Yan Lili continued, "Our actions not only concern our personal reputation, but also the stability of the Shang Kingdom. Therefore, we must always be vigilant and not slack off in the slightest."

Ruyi stood on the high platform, watching all the changes in the harem. He knew that all this was for the future of Shang State and for the harmony of the harem.

As Yan Lili finished her announcement, the new ministers who entered the palace took orders one after another. They knew that from today on, their identities and responsibilities would undergo tremendous changes. They would no longer be ordinary immortals, but members of the Shang Kingdom's harem, and their behavior would be subject to stricter requirements.

Under the new system, the ministers were given new titles, namely:

Chanruojun: Lee Min Ho, for his handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, was canonized as Chanruojun, and his status is noble.

Hanlin Jun: Kim Soo-hyun was canonized as Hanlin Jun for his outstanding talent and literary talent and was highly respected.

Noble Lady Jun: Lee Jong Suk, with his tall stature and resolute face, was canonized as Noble Lady Jun and held a prominent status.

Qing Guiren: Ji Chang Wook was named Qing Guiren for his handsome face and gentle temperament and was highly favored.

Bi Changshi: Cha Eun-woo was appointed as Bi Changshi for his gentle jade-like appearance and humble character, and he always accompanies the Holy Emperor.

Minister Mok: Lee Dong Wook was named Minister Mok for his dark eyes and steady demeanor, and was deeply trusted.

Jade Madam: Nam Joo Hyuk, with his fresh and refined face and smart temperament, was canonized as Jade Madam and was highly anticipated.

Qiong Da Ying: Huang Inye, who was canonized as Qiong Da Ying for his handsome appearance and lively personality, is full of energy.

Rang Da Ying: Park Seo-joon, with his sunny smile and cheerful personality, was canonized as Rang Da Ying, bringing joy.

The new ministers spent their first day in the palace. They were guided to their respective residences and familiarized with the palace rules and etiquette. They knew that as a member of the harem, they must strictly abide by the palace rules to maintain the harmony and order of the harem.

The next morning, the ministers got up early, tidied their appearance, and went to Madam Lihua's bedroom to pay their respects to her. They knew that this was their first formal greeting since entering the palace, and it was also an opportunity for them to show their etiquette and respect.

Led by the palace maids, the ministers came to the courtyard outside the bedroom. They stood in order according to the level of their titles, waiting to be summoned by Madam Lihua.

Soon, the door of the bedroom slowly opened, and Yan Lili walked out slowly accompanied by the palace maids. He was dressed in a luxurious palace dress and a beautiful phoenix crown on his head. He had an extraordinary temperament, majestic yet gentle.

Upon seeing this, the ministers immediately saluted, their voices in unison and forcefully: "Greetings, Madam Lihua."

Yan Lili nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes: "No need to be polite, my dear ministers. I am very pleased that you have adapted to the life in the palace so quickly."

The ministers expressed their gratitude to Madam Lihua one after another. They knew that being recognized by Madam Lihua would have an important impact on their status and future in the harem.

"My dear ministers, from today on, you are all members of the Shang Kingdom's harem." Yan Lili's voice echoed in the courtyard, "I hope you can be strict with yourselves, abide by the palace rules, and make your own contributions to the harmony and stability of the harem."

The ministers all expressed their willingness to abide by the palace rules and do their part for the prosperity of the Shang Kingdom and the harem.

Yan Lili nodded with satisfaction. He knew that these young immortal kings would be the fresh blood of the Shang Kingdom's harem, and their joining would bring new vitality and hope to the harem.

After paying their respects, the ministers returned to their respective residences under the guidance of the palace maids and began their life in the harem.

That night, the moonlight was like water, and Lee Min Ho was chosen to sleep with the emperor.

He stood in front of his palace, feeling both excited and uneasy.

This was the first time he was summoned by the Holy Emperor as an assistant minister.

After a while, a gorgeously decorated carriage slowly drove over. It was the "Phoenix and Luan Spring Grace Car" specially prepared for the minister.
