Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

There was a buzzing sound, and then there was complete silence, with everyone's mind going blank.

Although they had guessed that it was an imperial decree to crown the Empress, they were still a little slow to react when they heard with their own ears that Imperial Noble Consort Xian had been crowned. That was until they heard a steady female voice:

"Your servant accepts the order. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

Regardless of everyone's reactions, Kangxi looked at Shi Nanxi with a smile in his phoenix eyes. He stood up and helped her up personally. He felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Finally, Nanxi became his wife. He had been waiting for this moment for four years.

Shi Nanxi felt an uncontrollable excitement in her heart at this moment. She became the queen, the queen of Kangxi.

After all, she came from the modern era. Although she told herself to adapt to the local customs, no matter whether she was Empress Xian, Noble Consort Xian, or Imperial Noble Consort Xian, they were all concubines in the final analysis. Only the Empress was the wife. She looked at Kangxi.

Their eyes met, they smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

At this time, Liang Jiugong took the lead and knelt down, touching his head to the ground, and said loudly:

"Your servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

At this time, the people below finally came to their senses. No matter what they were thinking, at this moment everyone bowed their heads and shouted:

"Your servant, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

The shout started from the Jiaotai Hall and spread farther and farther along the palace gates of the Forbidden City. Everyone who heard it knelt down and shouted, and the sound resounded throughout the sky of the Forbidden City.

Shi Nanxi turned around and faced the people kneeling on the ground below. She raised the imperial decree to crown her as queen and said with a smile:

"Everyone, please get up."

"Thank you, Queen."

Then Shi Nanxi handed the imperial edict to Hongying and sat down again. Only then did everyone stand up, looking a little dazed.

However, before everyone could continue to be shocked, Liang Jiugong picked up the second imperial edict, and everyone suddenly woke up.

The news that came out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the beginning was that the Emperor was going to make Consort Xian the Empress. Now that this news has been confirmed, the second imperial edict should be the Emperor's edict of amnesty to celebrate the birth of the fifteenth prince.

The Crown Prince had a stiff expression, and everyone else had different looks as well. With Imperial Noble Consort Xian being crowned Queen, and an imperial decree issuing a general amnesty to celebrate the Fifteenth Prince's birthday, the direction of the entire capital would change from now on.

Some old officials and royal relatives in the court were genuinely worried about the instability of the government, and had already made preparations to request the withdrawal of the imperial edict. It would have been fine if Consort Xian was crowned as the queen, after all, she had made great contributions in giving birth to an heir to the royal family.

But the Fifteenth Prince was still young, and now he has become the legitimate son. If he makes such a move again when there is already a Crown Prince, it will shake the Crown Prince's position and be detrimental to the government.

It is true that beautiful women are always the cause of troubles since ancient times. The Emperor has really been blinded by Imperial Concubine Xian, no, now it is the Empress!

The more they thought about it, the more worried and sad they became. They had already imagined that the Qing Dynasty would be in chaos and the people would suffer because of the fight between the two legitimate sons. They wished they could just snatch the imperial edict and destroy it.

Who is Kangxi? He sat high up at the table, able to see clearly the expressions and thoughts of the people below. He casually placed one hand on the armrest, his eyes deep and it seemed that Nanxi was more perceptive than him.

He used to think that at only fifteen years old he was much younger than his dozen older brothers, so even if he showed some favoritism, it would not have any impact on the Qing Dynasty. But now, seeing the expressions of his group of princes and civil and military ministers, he realized that he was too idealistic.

However, thinking of the imperial edict that would be coming soon, Kangxi curled his lips and looked at Shi Nanxi. These people all regarded him as a tyrant who was bewitched by beauty. Unfortunately, even though he wanted to be a tyrant, there were people who didn't want him to be one.

Noticing Kangxi's gaze, Shi Nanxi looked over and secretly blinked at him with a sly smile in her eyes.

Only the empress dowager, who knew about the situation, noticed the two's little actions. A smile flashed in her eyes. The emperor and the empress were really teasing, but she also showed a hint of interest on her face.

No one dared to look directly at the three most honorable people in the royal family. Everyone's attention was focused on the second imperial edict that Liang Jiugong opened, and they knelt on the ground again to receive it.

Liang Jiugong looked at the imperial edict.

Read aloud:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that since ancient times, the emperors have succeeded to the throne and ruled the four seas, and their prosperity will last forever... I have inherited the throne for thirty-four years since the first year of the Kangxi reign. With the blessing of Heaven and the blessing of my ancestors, on January 27, the thirty-fourth year of the Kangxi reign, my fifteenth son was born, born to Empress Guarjia. In order to honor the Virgin Mary's kindness and comfort the people's love, I hereby grant a general amnesty and extend my benevolence."

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. It was indeed an imperial decree granting amnesty to the entire country. However, before anyone could react, the decree had not even been read out yet.

Liang Jiugong paused and continued reading:

"Although the fifteenth son, Yinyi, is young, he is my only legitimate son. The other legitimate son is the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty. He is virtuous and talented in both literature and martial arts. Today, the queen has submitted a petition requesting that the fifteenth son of the emperor be named the Heshuo Xiaoyao King, hereditary and unchangeable, in order to protect the country of the Qing Dynasty. The fifteenth son of the emperor will never enter the court and will never have the right of succession. This cannot be changed despite the vicissitudes of life. I decree this."

Silence, deathly silence. Everyone was dumbfounded. Let’s hear what the imperial edict said.

It is said that in order to stabilize the Qing Dynasty, the newly-appointed Queen Mother requested that the Fifteenth Prince be named Heshuo Xiaoyao King, and that he would never enter the court and would never have the right of inheritance. This cannot be changed, no matter how the world has changed!

Is this true? They must have heard it right. Not only did the Queen have no ambition, she even personally ruined the future of the Fifteenth Prince!

Among them, the prince had the biggest emotional reaction. He looked towards the queen in front of him, feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow.

I originally thought that the Emperor wanted to give his position as Crown Prince to his Fifteenth Brother because the Empress looked upon him differently. I was still secretly thinking that the wise Emperor was just like my ancestor, having lost his mind for a woman.

His previous respect for him was all fake, and the same went for the Queen. At first, she looked pure, humble, and had no ambitions, so he gave up on taking action on her many times. However, as soon as his fifteenth brother was born, she revealed her ambitions.

He thought a lot, even thought about his miserable fate after being deposed as crown prince, but what did he hear now?

There was a general amnesty at the full-month banquet for the fifteenth brother, and he was even conferred the title of Heshuo Xiaoyao King just one month after he was born. This was the only such case in the Qing Dynasty. However, along with the title of king, the fifteenth brother was never allowed to enter the court and would never have the right of inheritance. This was unchangeable.

In other words, even if all of Aisin-Gioro's direct descendants died, he would not be eligible to inherit the throne, which directly blocked all paths for the fifteenth brother.

The Queen's decision really caught him off guard. She truly had no ambition for the throne, and if she was just putting on an act she wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

The prince was now deeply ashamed of all his previous thoughts, and felt extremely guilty towards his fifteenth brother. If it weren't for him, the queen would not have to ruin his fifteenth brother's future like this.

The others had the same reaction as the prince at this time, looking at the queen in shock, trance, confusion, and disbelief.

However, Shi Nanxi smiled and said nothing. These people didn't know that the reason she did so was simply because she felt that being an emperor in the Qing Dynasty was too tiring, like being in prison, and she didn't want Yin Yi to suffer. Besides, the world is very big, and there are many more interesting things to do than being trapped in the Forbidden City for a lifetime.

At this time, the old ministers and royal relatives who had previously been involved in various conspiracy theories reacted the fastest and loudest, and immediately shouted loudly:

"The Queen is wise and selfless. Long live the Queen, long ...

Following this shout, everyone reacted and shouted in unison:

"The Queen is wise and selfless. Long live the Queen, long ...
