According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:

Today we have Shen Jingyi, who comes from a prominent family, is both talented and virtuous, gentle and virtuous, with noble character. She has been influenced by poetry and books since childhood, has dignified manners, and has won my heart and the praise of the harem.

I have seen that Shen Jingyi is a model mother of the country and has the ability to assist the wise monarch. She is indeed a good match for the prince. Therefore, according to the family rules of our ancestors and the way of heaven, I hereby appoint Shen Jingyi as the crown princess to rectify her status, stabilize the foundation of the country, and reassure the people.

From the day of the canonization, Shen Jingyi should abide by the code of conduct for women, be diligent at home, assist the prince with virtue, and work together for the prosperity of the country. I hope you can inherit the royal style, be a model for the harem, be a good wife for the prince, and build the glory of our dynasty together.

Admire this!

"My daughter-in-law Shen Jingyi takes the paper. Long live the emperor."

Shen Jingyi raised both hands to take the imperial edict, then stood up with the help of the prince.

Their eyes met, both filled with affection and joy.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. Live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years." Everyone shouted in unison.

The prince smiled and said, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone expressed their gratitude.

The Emperor had already named Prince Xuan the Crown Prince in the court, so what was read out now was only the imperial decree to name the Crown Princess.

"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Zhang. Today is our baby's full moon day. How about you stay and have a drink with us?" The prince warmly invited Eunuch Zhang.

"I couldn't ask for more." Eunuch Zhang replied with a smile on his face, and at the same time took out a small and exquisite box from his arms and handed it to the prince.

"This is a small gift from my family to the Fifth Young Master. Please accept it."

The prince took it with a smile, opened it and took a look. He saw a emerald green jade pendant lying inside. It was of warm color, without any impurities, translucent throughout, and exuding a faint luster.

He couldn't help but admire: "My father-in-law is so polite, this gift is so valuable.

It's just a small full-moon banquet, how dare you trouble me to spend so much money?"

Despite saying this, he handed the box to Shen Jingyi without hesitation.

"Your Highness, you are joking. It is my honor to attend the Fifth Young Master's full moon banquet." Eunuch Zhang replied quickly.

The two of them walked towards the front yard while chatting and laughing, leaving a group of women looking at Shen Jingyi with envy and jealousy.

Among them, there were several ladies who considered themselves to be the principal wives and had just shown disdain for Shen Jingyi.

There were also a few people who had just been dissatisfied with Shen Jingyi and spoke rudely. Their eyes flickered with regret. They should not have said such things just now.

Shen Jingyi looked around, a barely perceptible smile flashed across her eyes, and then she said calmly: "The banquet is about to begin, everyone please take a seat!"

After saying that, she walked gracefully towards the main table, laughing secretly in her heart. Thinking about what those people had said to her just now, she wondered if their faces were hurt.

"As a concubine, why does she dare to wear red? Has she forgotten her status?"

“I think she is just a concubine, yet she dares to be so ostentatious.

She is just relying on the fact that there is no princess in the palace now! Wait until the prince marries a new princess in a while, and then we will see how she still acts so arrogantly. "

"That's right. She's just a concubine. Isn't her attire a bit out of line today?"

"We are both the principal wives. Why would the King of Xuan let a concubine come out to entertain guests? Didn't he invite Princess Cheng last time?"

Now Shen Jingyi found it funny when she saw people avoiding her gaze.

Princess Cheng also looked at those people and curled her lips, saying softly, "How boring."

She wanted to stand up and speak for Shen Jingyi just now, but was stopped by her. It turned out that this was the effect she wanted!

Looking at this group of people now, how dare they move forward?

Shen Jingyi had a very relaxing day today. Everyone was vying to please her, fawning over her, and saying funny things.

Even those who wanted to send the girl into the mansion did not dare to come forward today, for fear of offending Shen Jingyi. Then she would settle all the old and new scores with her, and it would be difficult for them to step down.

Therefore, except for some discordant noises at the beginning, the atmosphere of the entire banquet later became very harmonious and happy.

When night fell, King Xuan came back and was conscious. Now that he had become the crown prince, those people naturally did not dare to force him to drink.

So, after Xiao Ziyang had eaten his fill and fell asleep, his father asked the wet nurse to take him away.

Faced with a young and strong man who had abstained from sex for several months, Shen Jingyi almost couldn't resist.

She only remembered that she fell asleep crying, so she woke up in the morning rubbing her waist and cursing.

"This bastard!"

If she didn't have to go to the palace to express gratitude today, she wouldn't want to get up.

The two of them brought several children into the palace, and of course also brought the cook of Concubine Shu with them, and sent them back today.

However, Xiao Zihong did not go with them. He has become extremely silent now. Apart from attending classes every day, he reads and writes in his yard and rarely goes out.

However, Shen Jingyi did not treat him unfairly or deduct anything from him. She was just too lazy to pay attention to him.

The group entered the palace and first went to the imperial study to meet the emperor and express their gratitude.

Then they went to Concubine Shu's place, where they stayed for the whole day in a lively atmosphere. It was not until the evening that they left the palace and returned to their mansion, with Concubine Shu reluctant to leave.

Early the next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window, and Shen Jingyi slowly woke up.

She stretched herself and thought about what she was going to do today, with a sense of anticipation rising in her heart.

After she got up and washed, she began to arrange the move.

The East Palace had been completely renovated and cleaned before, so they only needed to pack their belongings and move them into the palace.

However, such a large mansion cannot be moved in a short time.

Shen Jingyi summoned all the servants in the mansion and assigned tasks to each person in detail.

She listed everything that needed to be taken away. Everyone was busy, and the whole mansion was full of energy and vitality.

However, moving is not an easy task.

This is especially true for such a large mansion.

It took them a week to finish moving everything.

Every day, Shen Jingyi personally supervised the progress of the move and made sure everything was carried out and arranged according to plan.

Finally, on the seventh day, all the belongings had been moved into the East Palace.

Everyone followed suit and moved in.

Shen Jingyi also began to adapt to the new living environment.
