When Changhua learned that her sister would be crowned queen through the Daqing Gate and that the wedding of the emperor and empress would be held again, she felt like a long-cherished wish had come true.

The Fucha family had long been prosperous, with not only the four father and sons all holding high positions and becoming the emperor's important ministers and favorites, but now they had become a royal family.

However, such glory and joy were not as satisfying as Changning's ability to truly become the most honorable principal wife in the world.

Bodel even burned several incense sticks to the Buddha at home, but was beaten several times by Socho Luo, who said that he was just causing chaos and foul air.

But this couple still often acted secretly. They looked calm as old dogs on the surface, but secretly they burned countless incense sticks to bless their daughter with a safe and wealthy life.

In their eyes, their daughter had finally gotten her happy ending after all the suffering she had endured.

Before, she gave birth to one baby after another to stabilize her status, and she fought with the concubine and the women in the backyard. It was heartbreaking to watch.

Now, my long-cherished wish has finally come true.

Changning was also very touched. She was going to become the queen, and her name, Fucha Changning, would be recorded in history books in the future, along with Yinzhen.

Yinzhen was also looking forward to this day very much and made sufficient preparations for it. He first ordered the Hanlin academician to lock the draft book in the academy and then draft the lyrics. However, he was not satisfied with it and wrote a thousand words himself, full of praise.

The next day, all officials listened to the announcement. Yinzhen personally went to Fengxian Hall to report, and also sent people to the Temple of Heaven and Earth, and the Imperial Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices, to report to heaven and earth, the ancestral temples, the state, and the various tombs, and to select an auspicious day and time.

The streets were cleared three days in advance, a general amnesty was declared, and the people rejoiced together.

On the day of the queen's coronation ceremony, Changning got up early in the morning.

The chief and deputy envoys had already brought the ceremonial objects for the empress's coronation. Changning was helped by about twenty people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to put on her court robes, and she knelt in the courtyard to listen to the reading of the edict.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I, in accordance with the Will of Heaven, have inherited the great plan and given birth to a daughter of the Empress Dowager. The Fucha family is a beautiful and well-known family. She is a woman of virtue and talent. She is a beautiful woman with a kind and gentle character. She is a model for the whole country. In compliance with the Will of Heaven, I hereby confer the title of Empress of the Central Palace. I decree this!"

Afterwards, the Minister of Rites Changhua personally handed the empress's seal to Changning.

Afterwards, Changning was helped by everyone to get on the empress's phoenix sedan chair, which was carried in through the Daqing Gate. Accompanied by the sound of bells and drums, she slowly stepped onto her own steps and embarked on the road to becoming the empress.

On both sides of the road were civil and military officials with solemn expressions.

And at the end of this road is Yinzhen wearing a dragon robe.

As she stepped onto the stairs step by step, Chang Ning felt very peaceful, as if the pace of the movie was slowing down and the scene was replayed in slow motion. She felt that she should be looking back on the past 28 years, but now she had no time to do so.

She could only see the long stairs in front of her, the hot sun above her head, the rare sunny weather today, and her future path, which was as bright and brilliant as the glazed tiles in front of her.

When they reached the end of the road, Yinzhen stepped forward and held her hand. Feeling the coldness and stickiness of her palm, he comforted her a little: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Changning smiled slightly, stood side by side with him, turned around, and looked forward with him to accept the congratulations from the civil and military officials.

The officials below saw the young and beautiful queen, who was extremely graceful and elegant, and whose aura of nobility was beyond words. Standing together with the emperor, they were truly a pair of stunning beauties. They all knelt down to pay homage, shouting, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of live the queen."

Changning breathed a sigh of relief, and in her ears was Yinzhen's affectionate voice: "Yaoxian, you are the only wife of my life."

The grand and solemn ceremony of the Queen's coronation was so grand that people were still talking about it three months later.

Zhongcui Palace

Concubine Yu Geng was eating melon seeds. Although the palace was now exquisite and luxurious, she still retained her previous habits when she was in the palace and liked to chat with others.

"Hey, you said that the emperor has been on the throne for three months, and he didn't leave anyone for himself in the selection. He only gave a concubine to the Prince of Zhi, and arranged marriages for other members of the royal family. Could it be that His Majesty is still planning not to accept any woman?"

Listening to her words, Concubine Ning Wu subconsciously wanted to taunt her: "Why, are you anxious again? Why do you care if there are new people? Anyway, it is impossible for you to be picked when the Yangxin Palace flips the card."

Yupin rolled her eyes at her and threw the melon seeds in her hand at her: "Bah! You're still picking on me every day even though you've entered the palace? I'm so old now, why would I still want to be favored?"

"Then why are you so anxious? The one in Chengqian Palace has always been the favorite. You know how much the emperor loves her."

Yupin curled her lips: "I know, but it's different now. Before, in the palace, I was just a prince, how could there be so many eyes watching me. Now it's different, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and although he has many princes, he can still have more. Who doesn't want to send his daughter to the palace to gain wealth and honor? So many eyes must be waiting for you."

Ningpin took a sip of tea and said, "It's useless to hope so much. Your Majesty doesn't have that intention at all. I can see clearly that Your Majesty is a sentimental person. For so many years, only the Empress has caught his eye. In his heart, with his beloved by his side, how can he have time to think about other women? Besides, haven't you heard that the front is clamoring to send troops now?"

Yupin was repeatedly scolded by her and was a little unhappy: "I haven't heard of it. Who is as well-informed as you!"

Ningpin was happy and said to her in a gentle voice: "It's just a small matter, what's there to be angry about? You are too narrow-minded. However, the court is really busy right now, and the emperor is worried, so he probably doesn't have the mind to care about the selection."

Yupin didn't care about whether there would be a war or not, and she had no interest in it. Suddenly, she had an idea and asked Ningpin in a low voice: "Hey, you said... the eldest prince is old now, why doesn't the emperor appoint a wife for him?"

Ningpin glanced at her and said: "Why, do you have a good girl in your family? Why do you keep asking about this."

Yubin was touched by what she was thinking, and smiled awkwardly: "I have a cousin in my family who also participated in this selection. I want to find out some information."

Ning Fei had been with her for many years and had some affection for her. She couldn't help but advise her: "You want your sister to enter the eldest prince's backyard? If you have no other thoughts, it's fine. But if you want to get close to him and bet on him in advance, you'd better give up this idea. You can see that the third prince has made outstanding contributions and is obviously loved by the emperor. Isn't it obvious?"

Yupin sighed: "The Third Prince is good, he has a good mother and a good family, but he is too young. And considering our family background, I'm afraid others won't look down on him."

"Don't worry about it. In a family like ours, it's already a blessing to have two queens. Don't expect to have a high position."
