She became a top rich woman by giving tribute to her emperor boyfriend

The ministers began to discuss:

"The Emperor really did announce the establishment of the Queen. We have finally waited for this day."

"Yes, I have finally waited for this day. I have been trying to persuade the emperor to fill his harem for many years, but there has been no progress. As a result, the emperor did not know about this until he announced it. Once he announced it, he directly appointed the empress. He has done great things quietly."

"This is a good thing. When Daqi has a prince to inherit it in the future, we won't have to feel guilty towards the late emperor."

"I have never heard of which girl the emperor has taken a fancy to before. I always thought that the emperor, as the rumors say, likes men..."

"Keep your voice down. The emperor is upstairs. If he hears me, the head I'm waiting for will be thrown here today."

"What do you think of the Queen's background?"

"Who knows? When the emperor was young, he spent most of his time outside the palace with the late emperor. He only returned to the palace before he ascended the throne. It's not surprising that he met a commoner girl, but what surprised me was that the emperor didn't care about the girl's background and directly made her the queen."

"Let's not find fault with the emperor. Regardless of his origin, at least the emperor is willing to marry a queen. This is a good thing. It's better than being alone forever."

On the jade pendant side, Jiayu listened to the discussions on the other end, with the corners of his mouth raised ever since.

It turned out that all the civil and military officials in the court hoped that Qi Tianlin would get married soon.

Those ministers, like Qi Tianlin's parents, have been urging him to get married for years, but they can no longer do it.

Now that they know their son is willing to marry and have children, they no longer bother to pick the conditions for the woman. As long as their son is willing to marry her, it's fine.

On Daqi's side.

Qi Tianlin's eyes were filled with unclear emotions. He looked at the ministers who were discussing fiercely below and asked:

"Do you have any objection to my marrying a commoner girl?"

Immediately, everyone in the hall fell silent.

At this moment, all the ministers felt the oppression emanating from the emperor and dared not raise any objections.

It seemed that as long as they dared to express their opposition, they would suffer the consequences.

Qi Tianlin added: "Say whatever you want to say. I won't blame you today."

In the end, Qiu Zizhen was the bravest and spoke first:

"Your Majesty, may I know what the Empress's background is like?"

People say he is brave, but he speaks weakly.

But after he said it, many officials nodded in agreement, and they all wanted to know the Queen's background.

Qi Tianlin was not displeased, and even said the prepared words generously:

"My queen comes from a very good family, is good at both literature and martial arts, and is extremely talented and beautiful. The queen is willing to marry me, which means I am marrying above my station."

These words shocked the court.

Almost all officials were curious about how outstanding the Queen was to receive such high praise from the Emperor.

You have to know that the emperor himself is the person with the highest status and the most honorable identity in their Daqi. Which woman can be better than the emperor?

However, in order for the emperor to feel that he is marrying above his station, the woman must be extremely talented and have the most beautiful appearance in the world.

Shangguan Fei suddenly thought of someone, and immediately touched Qiu Zizhen's arm, moved closer to Qiu Zizhen, and lowered his voice:

"I should know who it is."

Qiu Zizhen was itching to ask:

"Who?"

Shangguan Fei glanced upwards, not daring to talk about the Empress directly, for fear that the Emperor would hear.

So he said to Qiu Zizhen, "Master Qiu, I will tell you after the court session."

"Then... let's do it."

Qiuqiu Zizhen was anxious and wanted to know it right away, but due to the wrong occasion, he had to keep it to himself.

At this time, the modern side.

When Jiayu heard Qi Tianlin say that marrying her would be marrying above his station, she was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears.

Qi Tianlin is the emperor.

It was her great honor to have the emperor say that he was marrying up to her.

At this time, Qi Tianlin's words came over:

"Does anyone else have any questions? If not, let's discuss the matters concerning the enthronement ceremony next."

Jiayu listened attentively.

She couldn't help but think that if the enthronement ceremony was held, it would mean that she, the queen, would have to show up and complete the enthronement ceremony in person.

The last time Qi Tianlin told her, he was only announcing the establishment of the queen to the world, and considering that she was not by his side, he did not plan to hold a grand ceremony or wedding banquet.

However, it was announced today that the enthronement ceremony will be held in a while. What should she do if she is not there?

Does Qi Tianlin plan to find someone else to be her substitute and complete the enthronement ceremony?

If that's the case, it's not impossible. At least I can get away with it. It's just...

Thinking of the day of enthronement, when Qi Tianlin and other women worshipped their ancestors together, facing all the royal relatives and officials, as well as guests from neighboring countries, Jiayu could not help but curl her lips and feel regretful.

Although it was a last resort, she still couldn't be happy. She was the one who wanted to complete the ceremony with Qi Tianlin the most.

Only when she completed the ceremony herself did she feel that she was Qi Tianlin's true queen.

Since it wasn't done by myself, it feels a bit unjustified.

On Daqi's side.

Seeing that no one spoke, Qi Tianlin continued:

"The Imperial Master has chosen an auspicious date. The enthronement ceremony will be held on the fifth day of July. There are still about two months to prepare."

"In the next two months, all matters concerning the enthronement ceremony and the palace banquet will be handled by the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites. They must be completed for me."

At this time, the Imperial Master Xu Qingfeng and the Minister of Rites Qiu Zizhen stepped out and bowed to the emperor together, saying in unison:

"We will obey your orders and live up to your majesty's trust."

Qi Tianlin had finished explaining the matter and announced the end of the court session:

"I have finished my instructions. Since you, my dear ministers, have nothing else to report, let's stop here for today's morning court."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Weifu shouted outside:

"Retreat—towards—"

All the officials knelt down and said in unison:

"Congratulations to the emperor."

After Qi Tianlin left, Qiu Zizhen and Shangguan Fei walked out slowly.

Soon they were the last two ministers to walk out of the Golden Palace.

Qiu Zizhen looked troubled:

"Sir Shangguan, this is a huge responsibility. I am really worried that the emperor will not be satisfied after all this."

"I have worked in the Ministry of Revenue for many years, but this is the first time I have organized a ceremony related to the emperor's lifelong event. I don't have much experience."

"If the emperor had taken concubines every now and then, it would have been fine. At least I have some experience. But he made her the queen right away. That's too sudden."

Shangguan Fei smiled bitterly:

"Master Qiu, just be happy. It's more difficult to solve than the murder case in my Ministry of Revenue, right?"

When Qiu Zizhen heard about the murder, he thought of the hundreds of lives lost in Liaojia Village:

"Speaking of which, Lord Shangguan, is there still no clue about the murder case in Liaojia Village?"

Shangguan Fei sighed, his expression miserable:

"If I had any clues, the emperor wouldn't have asked me alone in the court today whether the Ministry of Justice had completed its report. He must want to know the truth."

Qiu Zizhen said: "Today, Gaosi and Beilin were both incorporated into Daqi, and the emperor announced the establishment of a queen. This is a happy day. Let's not talk about those unlucky things for now, let's talk about something else."

"By the way, when we were in court earlier, Lord Shangguan said he knew who the Empress's daughter was. Is this true?"

Shangguan Fei nodded, "I do know which girl it is."

Qiu Zizhen couldn't wait to ask, "Whose girl is this? Have we seen her before? Is it true, as the emperor said, that she comes from a very good family, is good at both literature and martial arts, and has both outstanding talent and beauty?"
