Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

"Don't worry, it's just a little rain, it won't delay anything."

Ye Jintang's light words were exchanged for countless eunuchs, guards, and palace maids.

At that moment, a group of people were braving the rain and had been putting up the retractable awnings one by one since the first half of the night. Starting from the moment Ye Jintang left the house, a large red retractable awning would be put up wherever she passed by today.

When it rains, it is opened to protect Ye Jintang from the rain. When it does not rain, it is folded up, becoming a scenic spot on Ye Jintang's road to becoming the queen.

Soon Xiao Mo came over. He personally put on the heavy queen's phoenix crown for Ye Jintang and led her out of the main hall holding her hand.

The moment the door curtain was lifted, he only felt a festive red before his eyes.

"Is this your secret?"

Looking at the neatly arranged awning, Xiao Mo was amazed. There were bead curtains around the awning, so people wouldn't get a single drop of rain on them when they walked underneath.

Not to mention the value of the crystal clear pearl curtain, this large awning alone is probably worth a lot of money.

Fortunately, Ye Jintang had money in her hands. If she had gone through so much trouble to take money from the national treasury, I'm afraid all the petitions would be about her tomorrow morning.

"Your Majesty, how do you feel about the awning?"

"Coming from the Queen's hand, it must be excellent."

Xiao Mo held Ye Jintang's hand and walked under the awning, out of the gate of Wutong Palace, and the two of them got on the sedan chair together and went to Zhenghe Hall where the court officials were paying their respects.

The awning here is much higher and larger than those in other places. Standing on the steps, Ye Jintang can clearly see the court officials kneeling below.

If it had rained so heavily at any other time, the court officials would not only be soaked, but even their court robes would be stained with mud when they kneeled down.

But today, they didn't have to worry about these things at all. When they entered the palace gate, all the places that could be exposed to the rain were covered with awnings and scarlet carpets.

All the officials present standing under the awning were so shocked that they could not utter a word.

Some people even asked officials from the Ministry of Revenue how much money was spent on the lavish ceremony of enthroning the queen. The national treasury was already empty, and it was really inappropriate for the queen to be so extravagant.

As a result, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue said they didn't know. The silver used in the ceremony of conferring the empress came from the inner treasury, the emperor's small treasury. Naturally, they didn't know how much silver was used.

The shocked officials could hardly believe their ears. They were very curious about where Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang got so much money. It was rumored that Ye Jintang was very good at business, and it seemed to be true.

After the ceremony, everyone followed Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo to the altar, where they saw bright red awnings on both sides of the high altar. However, the awnings on this side did not have bead curtains, only a circle of bright yellow tassels hanging from the edge of the awning.

Ye Jintang took one look at the altar with hundreds of steps and wanted to curse in her heart. Who came up with the stupid idea to let her climb such a high altar wearing court robes weighing dozens of kilograms?

If she were a little weaker, she might not be able to climb up.

"Jintang, I'll hold you."

Xiao Mo stretched out his hand towards Ye Jintang. He knew how tiring it would be for a weak woman like Ye Jintang to climb so many stairs.

"it is good."

Placing her hand gently in Xiao Mo's palm, Ye Jintang smiled sweetly at Xiao Mo, and the two walked towards the altar together.

All the officials under the altar were looking at the two men.

Strangely enough, as the two walked towards the altar, the rain became lighter and lighter, and by the time they were halfway there, the rain had stopped.

The sky, which was covered with dark clouds just now, suddenly cracked open, and a ray of sunlight slowly fell on the altar.

The open red awning was folded up with a clatter, and the sunlight shone on Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo.

The dragon robe and the phoenix robe emitted a faint halo, and from a distance they looked like immortals descending to earth.

"I didn't expect the sun to come out now."

Ye Jintang, standing in front of the altar, glanced at Xiao Mo beside him with a smile.

"It's a beautiful day, but it's raining."

“We are all blessed by God.”

The two of them stepped forward together to burn incense and pray for the Qin Kingdom. Many officials under the altar knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor" and "A thousand years and a thousand years of long live the queen."

The ordinary people standing at the outermost circle watching the ceremony knelt down one after another after seeing such a strange sight. They were more superstitious than the officials, and at this moment many of them already regarded Ye Jintang as an immortal.

Looking back at the empress-enthroning ceremonies and enthronement ceremonies of several dynasties in the Qin Dynasty, there has never been any empress or emperor who would experience strange phenomena during the sacrifice to heaven. Ye Jintang is the only one.

After burning incense on the altar, the dark clouds in the sky all dissipated, and two rainbows appeared on the horizon.

The people who had just stood up knelt down again. This strange sight told everyone that Ye Jintang was different.

The ceremony of crowning the queen was grand and lively. The sun came out and the sound of drums and music began. After a whole morning of tossing and turning, Ye Jintang felt as if his whole body was falling apart.

"Madam Zhang, change my headdress and court robes for me. I don't want to wear such heavy clothes to attend the luncheon."

Ye Jintang was sitting on the chair, so tired that he couldn't even lift his arms. The phoenix robe looked good, but it was too heavy and uncomfortable to wear.

"Your Majesty, according to custom there will be a banquet at noon, and Your Majesty should wear a phoenix robe to attend."

"Customs are dead, but people are alive. I don't want to tire myself out, so I'll just take the phoenix robe made of Yuehua Brocade."

There are differences between phoenix robes. The phoenix robe that Ye Jintang wore this morning was the one that Xiao Mo had started to prepare when he was preparing to start his army. It was a heavy-duty court dress for the empress. It took two years to make this dress, and hundreds of embroiderers were employed to complete it.

Yuehuajin's phoenix robe is inferior in terms of both the material and the embroidery patterns. Similarly, this phoenix robe is not that heavy.

As for the phoenix crown on her head, she chose a new one that was more gorgeous, but had a lower gold content so it wouldn't weigh down her head when she wore it.

Ye Jintang's original intention was to make himself feel more comfortable, but in the eyes of the court officials, Ye Jintang actually changed his clothes for lunch, which was really arrogant. Which queen was so rich that she would change into several phoenix robes on the day of the coronation ceremony?

Ye Jintang was almost busy throughout the whole day. She just met with the children and then went to do other things. She was busy until the end of the dinner, when she finally had some free time.

"I have tried my best to shorten the various procedures of the coronation ceremony, but I didn't expect to be so exhausted after a day."

Ye Jintang lay on the bed in an ungraceful manner. She had never felt her bed was so lovely as it was today.

"I'll rub it for you."

The Queen's coronation ceremony was very exhausting. It was already great that Ye Jintang could hold on for a whole day without having to drink refreshing medicine in the middle.

He had heard his mother say before that when she was crowned queen, she had to take stimulants in the afternoon, otherwise she would not have been able to hold on.

"Well, I'm in pretty good shape."

"Oh, today is such an important day, shouldn't we celebrate it properly?"

"We've already had two banquets, and we haven't celebrated enough."

"Of course, I haven't eaten yet."
