Jiang Li and the other person quickly climbed over the wall and came back to eat.

Aunt Lian glared at them and said, "Please ask Uncle Zhou to tear down the wall in the future, so that you two won't have to climb over it all day long."

Both of them blushed and lowered their heads in silence.

It was the first time that Xie Changan had been scolded by someone other than Liao Wuyong, like an elder in the family, in a "fair and polite" manner. He couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. Aunt Lian really accepted him!

After Aunt Lian finished scolding him, she remembered that this man was an official of the fourth rank, the notorious second in command of the East Factory!

But now he was like a little cat slave, listening obediently in front of her. She was suddenly at a loss as to what to do, but felt extremely relieved in her heart.

Lord Xie is really kind to his little cat servant. He loves her and her family, and doesn't mind her overstepping her boundaries at all. If the young lady knew about this, she would be relieved.

Aunt Lian looked rather embarrassed. She made an excuse to go to the kitchen to see if the dessert was ready, and fled out of the inner courtyard.

Jiang Li was very happy. Finally, someone helped her share Aunt Lian’s “anger”.

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Aunt Lian treats me as her own family member. In the future, I will treat her as an elder in the family like little Li Nu does, and respect her well."

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory finally selected an auspicious day to hold the ceremony of enthroning the prince.

In the early morning, outside the Fengtian Gate, flags were fluttering and the ceremonial guards were solemn.

The Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards were lined up on the east and west sides of the Meridian Gate, looking heroic and awe-inspiring.

Civil and military officials also gathered outside the Meridian Gate and stood in line according to their ranks.

As drums and music sounded, the guard of honor went to the East Palace to welcome the Crown Prince, while the three grand secretaries of the Cabinet and the commander of the imperial guards went to welcome the Emperor.

Nangong Qinghe looked even more handsome and graceful in his crown and robes as if he were a prince.

He arrived outside the Fengtian Gate, surrounded by the guard of honor and officials from the Eastern Palace.

Nangong Qinghe's heart was pounding and he was extremely excited. He had finally waited for this day!

Mother, did you see this? One day, your son will redress your grievances and avenge you!

His only regret now is that Ari cannot witness his glory at this moment openly.

The emperor came to the Fengtian Hall in the imperial carriage. With the help of Liao Wuyong, he ascended the high throne and sat on the dragon chair.

He was wearing the emperor's robes and crown, and although his face looked sick, he still looked dignified and solemn.

The court musicians played elegant music, and Nangong Qinghe, led by four guides, entered the Fengtian Gate and stood in front of the steps of the main hall.

Nangong Taihe, Nangong Xihe and other princes and nobles were at the forefront of the ministers.

The two of them watched Nangong Qing, wearing the crown and robes of the crown prince, walking step by step towards the Fengtian Palace, and they were filled with mixed emotions and jealousy.

Especially Nangong Xihe, who was about to get the position of crown prince, but the always unknown third brother suddenly appeared halfway and snatched the position of crown prince from him. How could he not hate him to the core?

Nangong Xihe stared viciously at Nangong Qinghe who was standing in front of the Danbi, and sneered in his heart, "Third brother, just wait and see, it's still unknown who will win!"

When the auspicious moment arrived, the ceremonial officer shouted loudly: "One bow! Two bows! Three more bows!"

Nangong Qinghe performed the ceremony as instructed.

The officer in charge shouted loudly: "Yes!"

The ceremonial officer shouted in response: "Kneel!"

Nangong Qinghe knelt down solemnly, his posture upright and his expression solemn.

The official who announced the decree announced: "The Prince of Jin, Nangong Qinghe, is appointed as the Crown Prince."

Then, four ushers led Nangong Qinghe into the Fengtian Hall and knelt before the throne.

The emperor sat on the throne and looked at Nangong Qinghe who was walking slowly towards him. Wearing the crown and robes of a crown prince, he had the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of the sun and the moon. He could not help but nod secretly, feeling very pleased.

The official holding the book knelt down in front of the desk and solemnly handed the prince's book to the official reading the book.

The official who read the edict knelt down before the emperor and read out the edict: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor has decreed that a successor be established to uphold the foundation of the country and to continue the prosperity of the royal family. The third son of the Emperor, Nangong Qinghe, is the legitimate son of the Empress. He is gifted and beautiful, gentle, respectful and frugal. He is the will of Heaven. I now abide by the initial edict and respectfully inform Heaven and Earth, the ancestral temple, and the country to grant him the imperial seal and establish him as the Crown Prince, taking the throne of the Crown Prince. This announcement shall be made to the world so that everyone may know it."

Afterwards, the reading officer handed the imperial edict to Prime Minister Liang, who took it, knelt down in front of Nangong Qinghe, and handed the imperial edict to Nangong Qinghe.

Nangong Qinghe suppressed his excitement and took it with both hands solemnly.

The emperor smiled and said a few words of encouragement: "I hope my son will inherit the throne in the future, work diligently and love the people, make the country strong and set an example for future generations."

"I will follow your father's teachings and put the country first in the future, work diligently in government affairs, and live up to your father's high expectations."

After Nangong Qinghe knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, he walked out of the Fengtian Hall holding the treasure book.

The princes, nobles, civil and military officials all knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the prince! A thousand years!"

Afterwards, Nangong Qinghe went to Fengyi Palace to thank Empress Zhang.

Then, accompanied by civil and military officials, he went to pay homage to the ancestral temple and pay respects to his ancestors.

The hundreds of miles long street was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. Common people lined the streets, vying to catch a glimpse of the appearance of the Crown Prince of the East Palace.

"Is this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He is indeed very handsome and has an extraordinary appearance!"

"If it is true as the rumors say, he is a modest gentleman, gentle as jade, and will surely become a wise ruler in the future!"

Nangong Qinghe's handsome face and elegant temperament won unanimous applause from the onlookers and made many young girls blush.

When the Crown Prince's procession passed by the Longmen Yaji, many talented scholars stood in front of the gate, some played the zither to praise, some recited poems to congratulate, and some bowed their hands in greeting, with their excitement evident on their faces.

Nangong Qinghe's heart moved, and he looked up, only to see a petite figure standing gracefully at the window of the private room on the second floor.

Seeing him looking up, Jiang Li took off her veil and gave him a brilliant smile.

Nangong Qinghe was dazzled by that smile and couldn't help but burst into tears.

A Li, I did it, are you happy?

Cui Jue, who was riding a horse beside him, noticed Nangong Qinghe's gaze and looked up. He was immediately stunned. The boss of Longmen was so handsome!

With such a talented and beautiful woman, it's no wonder that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so deeply in love with her and can't forget her.

He couldn't help but sigh. Jin'er had already been chosen to enter the prince's harem. How could she be a match for this Longmen boss?

I just hope that in the future there won’t be another imperial concubine who is the most favored in the harem and brings chaos to the government.

Nangong Qinghe remembered that Jiang Li had sent him a message, saying that she wanted to give him a big gift to congratulate him on becoming the crown prince.

He couldn't help but secretly look forward to it. What kind of gift would it be?

At this time, only the sound of birds singing could be heard in the air.

Everyone on the street looked up at the same time, and saw hundreds of birds gathered in the sky, circling above the prince's procession, emitting bursts of clear and melodious chirping sounds, as if they were also congratulating the prince.

"Hundreds of birds are coming to pay homage! This is a good omen from heaven!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly destined by heaven!"

"This is truly a blessing for our Great Chu! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will surely become a wise ruler in the future!"

The onlookers knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Long live the prince!"

All the officials accompanying the emperor were also stunned, and the Duke of Zhenguo and others were even more excited. This showed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed the one destined by heaven!

The talented scholars at the Longmen Gathering were already painting and composing impromptu poems to record this auspicious omen from heaven.

This scene will also go down in history.

Nangong Qinghe could hardly suppress his excitement. Is this the gift that A'li gave him?

What kind of magical power is this that can attract hundreds of birds to come and pay homage?
