Chapter 1184 The Ceremony Is Over


    Qian Liu came in with Chengye in her arms. As soon as she entered the room, she put him down.


    Chengye walked towards Yun Shang. He looked up at Yun Shang for a long time before he pped his


    hands and smiled, "Mother, you look good."


    Everyoneughed, "Even the Prince praised your majesty is beautiful. His majesty will not be able to


    take his eyes off youter."


    While they were talking andughing, a maid''s voice came from outside, "Your majesty, the Phoenix


    chariot is waiting outside our pce. It''s time to go to the pce gate."


    Yun Shang nodded. The headwear was too heavy for her to do that easily. Qin Yi hurried to help Yun


    Shang up. Qian Zhuo and Qian Liu helped Yun Shang straighten the hemline of the long dress. Yun


    Shang lifted her foot and slowly walked out of the Weiyang Pce.


    It was fine today. There was no cloud, and there was a breeze. Although it was cold, it was still a little


    warm because of the sunlight.


    Yun Shang looked up at the blue sky and heard Madam Qi''s voice, Get up."


    The chariot shook and was lifted up. They passed the Imperial Garden, the Moonlight Gate, the


    Happiness Gate, and the Gate of Tranquil Longevity before they arrived at the pce gate.


    WhenYun Shang got to the gate of the pce, she saw Luo Qingyan go to the bell tower in a dark robe


    embroidered with a golden flying dragon. Her eyes kept following Luo Qingyan''s back. She put her


    hands on Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo''s and got off the Phoenix chariot. Soon after Luo Qingyan went up


    the bell tower, the drawn-out sound of the bell started ringing out one after another for twelve times.


    After it stopped, Luo Qingyan went downstairs and walked towards Yun Shang. Yun Shang couldn''t


    help smiling. Looking up at him, she was moved.


    She was born and raised in the court. She had once hated it, hated the fights in the pce, hated the


    scheming inside, and had even thought of escaping from it with her mother. But now, she had


    experienced a lot of things. Ever since today, it really meant that she might be locked behind this heavy


    pce wall for the rest of her life. All her experiences including the ups and downs of her life,ughter


    or tears, would be witnessed by the court.. But at this moment, when she saw Luo Qingyan walking


    towards her step by step, she felt extremely steadfast in her heart,. Even if she would be locked up by


    the pce wall for a lifetime, as long as he was by her side, she felt that everything was worth it.


    Luo Qingyan came up to Yun Shang and smiled at her, his eyes full of tenderness. All the civil and


    military officials had been lined up on both sides, standing quietly with their heads down.


    Luo Qingyan blinked and held Yun Shang''s hand.


    "The Emperor and the Empress enter the Taiji Pce!" Liu Wenan''s voice came from afar.


    Yun Shang took a deep breath and was about to lift her foot when Luo Qingyan suddenly pinched her


    hand, which almost made her jump up.


    Yun Shang turned around and saw Luo Qingyan standing beside her quietly like any dignified emperor.


    Yun Shang red at him, and Luo Qingyan smiled. Both of them lifted their feet together, walked


    through the long pce road, stepped on the stairs, and headed for the Taiji Pce.


    "…… If we want to promote appropriate governance, we must reform the old and turn over a new leaf.


    We should not only rely on virtue, but also rely on our rtives and virtuous people to seek new


    treatment for the state together. From the first day of the first lunar month next year, it will be the first


    year of Sheng''an, when an amnesty should be issued, and a new beginning can be achieved. Since


    November 17th, all criminals should be granted an amnesty, and those who couldn''t be pardoned


    should be forgiven. My wife, is from the Ning n, virtuous and prudent. She has always been a model


    of rectitude. She is very much a mother of the country This is toply with the instructions. She is


    appointed Empress with the treasure book. Here is the imperial edict... "


    Liu Wenan''s voice echoed in the Taiji Pce, with a bit of solemnness. All the civilian and military


    officers knelt down there.


    "Hail Your Majesty, the Emperor! Hail Your Majesty, the Empress!" The voices came in unison. Luo


    Qingyan and Yun Shang sat straight on the dragon and Phoenix chairs facing the officials.


    "Arise," ordered Luo Qingyan. He was still as cold as usual. Yun Shang turned to Luo Qingyan and


    smiled at him before the ministers stood up.


    It seemed very peaceful today. Everything went well for both the enthronement ceremony and the


    Empress coronation, but Yun Shang knew that this calmness resulted from her and Luo Qingyan''s


    careful and longtime arrangement, and it was only a temporary peace.


    Now that they were the Emperor and Empress of the State of Xia, they had to go forward hand in hand.


    They might encounter all kinds of obstacles, but it didn''t matter. No matter how big the obstacles were,


    they could clear them away one by one. Anyway, they still had a long way to go in the future.


    After receiving the worship from the officials, Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan returned to the back hall of


    the Taiji Pce.


    "The pce is heavily guarded today. From this morning till now, there are three groups of assassins


    who wanted to sneak into the pce and were all caught by the guards. What''s more, someone


    intended to use the eagle to do something during the Emperor''s heaven worship ceremony, but they

    were found and punished by the spies and secret guards in time, "


    Liu Wenan reported as soon as they returned to the inner hall.


    Luo Qingyan nodded, "Is there anything happening in every part of the city?"


    "The enthronement ceremony and the Empress coronation have juste to an end, and the news


    from all parts of the city has yet to be sent back, so we don''t know anything about it for the time being."


    Yun Shang said, "Even if there is any trouble in the city, now that the grand ceremony hase to an


    end smoothly, it doesn''t matter much. We will deal with itter if there is any trouble."


    "You are right," Luo Qingyan nodded and went on saying to Yun Shang, "There is still a banquet in the


    pceter. You are going to..."


    "I have to go back to the Weiyang Pce to change clothes," Yun Shang held her neck and said, "This


    phoenix cor is too heavy. I feel my neck is almost broken."


    Luo Qingyan couldn''t help smiling, "Thank you for your hard work. Please go back to change your


    clothes."


    Yun Shang replied and left the Taiji Pce.


    The Phoenix chariot was waiting outside the pce. Seeing Yun Shange out, the servants hurried


    forward and helped Yun Shang get on the chariot.


    The Weiyang Pce was repaired. Yun Shang had moved back to it a few days before.


    Before they entered the Weiyang Pce, Yan Pin had prepared the clothes for the banquet. She was


    waiting in the hall with the servants in the hall. When they saw Yun Shang, they curtsied to her, "Hail


    Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"


    "Get up."


    Everyone stood up in a hurry and Yan Pin said in a gentle voice, "Your majesty, these clothes are for


    you to wear at the banquetter. I made them myself and have checked them inside and outside for


    countless times. Please don''t worry, your majesty."


    Yun Shang nodded and entered the inner hall, "Help me get changed."


    The servants took the clothes from Yan Pin''s hands and began to change clothes for Yun Shang.


    "I''ve investigated into the matter about the underwear. All the people who used to handle it have been


    locked up and inquired carefully. However, the dresses used for the ceremony were all under the watch


    of the Shangyi Bureau''ste steward, Yu Nian. Now, Yu Nian is no longer here... "
