The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

The palace maids were well-trained. They followed Shen Yiran closely, always paying attention to whether her skirt was messy or her headdress was crooked, and they would remind her softly from time to time:

"My Queen, please be careful where you step."

"My lady, please walk slower and be more polite."

Shen Yiran listened to these reminders and could only respond helplessly, but she thought in her heart, being the queen is really not an easy thing. Just the outfit alone is enough to deal with, and she didn't know how many complicated ceremonies would be waiting for her at the enthronement ceremony.

After a lot of effort, they were almost at the ceremony site. The melodious palace music was already clearly audible. Shen Yiran took a deep breath and secretly encouraged himself, thinking that no matter what, this was the only time, he just had to grit his teeth and get through it.

At this time, the square was already filled with court ministers, royal relatives, and envoys from various countries who came to watch the ceremony. There were so many people that it was almost a sea of people, but the scene was completely silent, and everyone was quietly waiting for this historic moment to arrive.

Shen Yiran looked at the front of the square, where a tall and magnificent enthronement platform was built. On the platform were placed various ritual objects symbolizing the imperial power and the position of the empress, including a golden jade seal, an exquisitely carved phoenix crown, and a ruyi made of precious jade, etc. It looked particularly solemn.

Then, the enthronement ceremony officially began with the melodious palace music.

The first ceremony was the coronation of Emperor Yu Gongxian. Wearing the dragon robe that symbolized supreme power and a crown on his head, Yu Gongxian walked slowly onto the throne with steady steps.

The dragon robe he was wearing was really gorgeous, with the golden dragon on it baring its fangs and claws, as if it was about to take off. The jewels on the crown sparkled brightly in the sun, making him look extremely majestic and solemn.

Immediately afterwards, Prime Minister Ren, holding the enthronement edict symbolizing the transfer of supreme power, slowly walked up to the enthronement platform with a solemn expression.

He first slowly unfolded the edict, then took a deep breath, and then read it aloud in his loud and penetrating voice:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have observed that the eldest son of the Emperor, Yu Gong, is a man of both talent and virtue, both wise and courageous, and has made great contributions to the country and the people.

I abdicate now and pass the throne to the wise. I hope that he will inherit the throne and ascend the throne. He will live up to the great heaven and earth and live up to the people. He will govern the world with a benevolent heart and protect the country with a resolute will. He will shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing the country and lead our dynasty to the road of prosperity. I decree this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers bowed and shouted "Long live the emperor" one after another, echoing throughout the entire square.

Next, there were the coronation ceremonies for Shen Yiran and Imperial Noble Consort.

Shen Yiran wore an extremely gorgeous phoenix crown, which was inlaid with countless precious jewels. They reflected colorful light in the sunlight, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

Wearing a gown embroidered with phoenixes, she walked up to the stage with great grace, like a fairy walking out of a painting.

When Shen Yiran stood in the center of the conferring platform, Prime Minister Ren held the edict of conferring the empress and read it out in a loud and solemn voice: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:

Shen Yiran is virtuous, intelligent, and has made great contributions to the country and has deep affection for the imperial family. She is now canonized as the empress and the mother of the country. I hope she will uphold benevolence and assist the emperor to write a glorious chapter for our dynasty. I decree this!"

Shen Yiran respectfully took the imperial edict, and then took the phoenix seal that symbolized the queen's power. She bowed slightly and performed a standard court salute towards the audience and Yu Gongxian above, her eyes revealing determination and solemnity.

She said loudly: "I thank Your Majesty for your grace. I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty and the expectations of the people. I will join hands with Your Majesty to protect our country and the well-being of our people." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, but it also carried an unquestionable majesty.

Next, it was the ceremony of conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort. The Imperial Noble Consort also attended the ceremony in her best attire today. She wore a graceful and elegant brocade robe with exquisite auspicious patterns embroidered with gold thread, and a gorgeous crown on her head. Although it was not as dazzling as the phoenix crown, it also showed her nobility.

Likewise, Prime Minister Ren stepped forward and read the imperial edict: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The Imperial Noble Consort, gentle and virtuous, has assisted the late Emperor for many years and cared for the royal family. Now that the late Emperor has abdicated and the new Emperor has ascended the throne, she is specially canonized as the Empress Dowager and is given the highest honor. I hope the Empress Dowager will take care of herself, protect the harem, and bring more auspiciousness to our royal family. I decree this!"

When the Imperial Concubine heard the contents of the imperial edict, a trace of relief and emotion flashed in her eyes. She slowly walked up to the stage to receive the imperial edict and the seal that symbolized the Empress Dowager's status, then bowed slightly to Yu Gongxian and the people below the stage, and said in a kind but solemn tone:

"I thank the Emperor for his grace and for the protection of my ancestors. From now on, I will stay in the harem to share His Majesty's worries and pray for the royal family. I hope our dynasty will be forever stable and the people will live and work in peace and contentment."

After saying that, she raised her head and glanced calmly at the people in the audience. Her eyes seemed to carry a kind of calmness and composure that came from years of experience, which made everyone feel respect for her.

At this time, the ministers, royal family members and envoys from various countries in the audience knelt down and shouted: "Greetings to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years! Greetings to the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

The shouts came one after another, echoing throughout the palace square.

The sun still shone brightly on this grand enthronement ceremony, adding a bit of sacred glory to this solemn and festive scene, and seemed to indicate that under the leadership of the new emperor, the new queen and the empress dowager, the country was about to usher in a more prosperous future.

Five years later.

Since his enthronement and the ceremony of crowning the queen, Yu Gongxian and Shen Yiran have worked together to govern the country. Shen Yiran cleverly applied modern concepts of governance to ancient times, leading the rapid development of Northern Tang Kingdom and making it the most advanced and prosperous country at that time.

As regent, Umiya Tamaki also assisted Umiya Ken wholeheartedly. The two brothers worked together to deal with various affairs inside and outside the court.

At the same time, he was lucky enough to find his own love. He married Bai Jing, a princess from the Western Regions, who was as smart and beautiful as Shen Yiran.

Because of the happy event of the marriage alliance between the two countries, and the deep friendship between Umiya Ken and Shirahabe Kawa, the previous disturbing border wars will no longer exist.

The two countries began to support and help each other and moved steadily towards the goal of common prosperity.

Speaking of Shen Yiran, she had a very quiet life in the harem. Without any disputes in the harem, she focused all her energy on assisting Yu Gongxian in handling state affairs.

Yu Gongxian and Shen Yiran have a son and a daughter. The son is smart and clever, and has a lot of his father's style. He has shown a strong interest in governing the country since he was a child.

Her daughter is well-behaved and cute. She inherited Shen Yiran's kindness and beauty. She has a strong interest in medicine and shows a strong desire to explore and study in the field of medicine.

The family lived happily together and often took walks and played in the garden of the palace, enjoying the family happiness.
