Rebirth: Phoenix Riding the Ninth Heaven

Once the imperial edict was completed, the solemn ceremony of conferring the empress began. The entire country was immersed in a festive atmosphere, and the Imperial City itself was particularly bustling with activity. On this day, citizens took action, thoroughly cleaning and decorating the city in preparation for this historic occasion. The streets were swept spotlessly, colorful flags fluttered, flowers bloomed, and an atmosphere of joy permeated everywhere.

On the day of the ceremony, Emperor Qian, clad in a magnificent dragon robe and riding in a resplendent carriage, led the civil and military officials to the palace. Along the way, the common people cheered and expressed their blessings and respect to the emperor. Inside the palace, a grand banquet was being prepared. The court band played cheerful music, and dancers danced gracefully, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere.

When Emperor Qian arrived at the harem, the candidate for Queen Kun had been waiting for a long time. She was dressed in a magnificent gown and crowned with a phoenix crown, her face beautiful and her demeanor elegant. Emperor Qian personally handed her the imperial edict and personally placed upon her the golden seal, phoenix crown, and bridal robe, the symbols of empresshood. At this moment, the entire harem erupted in thunderous congratulations, celebrating the birth of the new Queen Kun.

Afterwards, Emperor Qian and Empress Kun ascended the dais together to receive the homage and congratulations of their ministers. On this special day, Emperor Qian and Empress Kun became the center of attention, and their love story became a legendary story. Over the following days, various celebrations were held throughout the country to show respect and blessings for the new empress. This ceremony was more than just a royal wedding; it was a national celebration, showcasing the nation's prosperity and strength while allowing the public to experience the majesty and glory of the royal family.

The entire ceremony was solemn and elegant, imbued with a strong sense of ritual and sacredness. In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, civil and military officials gathered together, dressed in gorgeous court robes, with solemn expressions, quietly awaiting the arrival of this important moment.

Amidst the crowd's anticipation, the candidate for Queen Kun slowly stepped onto the stage. She was clad in a magnificent gown, richly embroidered with exquisite patterns and gleaming with golden light. Her face was dignified and beautiful, her eyes revealing a resolute and confident expression. With a smile, she calmly accepted the imperial edict. At this moment, she officially became empress, shouldering the heavy responsibility of ruling the country.

As Queen Kun received the imperial edict, the entire audience erupted in applause and cheers. People knelt in congratulations and respect to the new queen. In this thrilling moment, everyone felt the majesty and honor of the royal family.

Next, Huang Qian ascended the high platform. He was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, looking particularly majestic. He delivered an impassioned speech, announcing the good news to the whole world and placing high hopes on the new queen. He promised to work hand in hand with the new queen to govern the country together.

As night fell and the dust settled, each room unfolded its own story, showcasing the myriad aspects of life. In Wang Yuyan's palace, a joyful and peaceful atmosphere permeated the air. The maids surrounded her, chatting and laughing endlessly, seemingly with endless good things to say. They diligently served Wang Yuyan, meticulously attending to her needs, their joy overflowing, seemingly bursting from their bodies.

Wang Yuyan was also very happy when she saw their expressions. Nanny Li stepped forward and asked, "Miss, if you don't look at this old slave's mouth, you should call her 'Your Majesty,' are you tired now? Do you need to rest?" This old slave ordered the servants to get some hot water, so you can wash up and go to bed.

Wang Yuyan looked at Nanny Li, who had raised her since she was a child, with a deep sense of melancholy in her heart. She was both excited and confused. Excited that she had become the mother of a country, yet confused about the future. How should she go about it? How should she and the Crown Prince, who shouldn't be the Emperor Qian, get along?

Wang Yuyan forced herself to suppress these fleeting thoughts. She said to Li Ma, "Everyone's tired today. Let's get some hot water and wash up. It's time for everyone to go to bed, okay? Keep an eye on the eldest prince. Will you give everyone some rewards tomorrow?"

When Nanny Li heard this, she said with a smile on her face: Empress Kun, don't worry. You are now the mother of a country. Those little bitches don't serve you wholeheartedly. If they dare to have any second thoughts, I will beat them to death. Now, as their master's status has been elevated, their status in the palace is no longer the same.

Wang Yuyan said with a serious expression, "Today I am Queen Kun and I will be the role model for the harem. Your every word and action is being watched. Don't let your guard down or you'll give them a chance to rob you. Don't let the minions of the other palaces come up to our territory."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li expressed her loyalty with a serious expression and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will not let even a fly in here. I will make this place as hard as an iron barrel and will not let Your Majesty worry."

After hearing this, Wang Yuyan felt relieved and followed the senior palace maid to the side room of the main hall to wash up. Wang Yuyan took off her wedding clothes and stepped into the warm bathing pool with the help of the palace maids. In the bathing room, she asked the palace maids to massage her to clear her muscles and bones. Then the palace maids left and waited for Wang Yuyan on the side. She quietly recalled the young man enjoying a moment of tranquility in the water.

While Wang Yuyan was enjoying herself in the palace, the concubines were in turmoil. Qiao Xinran resented Wang Yuyan, feeling she was being given all the favors while she was merely a concubine. Although she had also given birth to a son, she could never understand why Wang Yuyan became Queen Kun while she was relegated to a lower position. This sense of unfairness filled her with anger and resentment, and she decided to take action to change her fate.

Qiao Xinran's face darkened as she slammed all the teacups on the table to the ground. The sound of shattering porcelain echoed in the air, but her fury remained unquenched. She scanned the surroundings, searching for her next target. Suddenly, she spotted a palace maid, immediately pointed out her fault, and rushed forward, slapping her hard several times.

"How do you do things? You can't even do such a small thing! Are you trying to scald me to death?" Qiao Xinran roared in rage. The maiden being beaten was named Xiu'er, and she felt deeply wronged. Regardless of whether she did something good or bad, Qiao Xinran always found a reason to punish her, sometimes even starving her or forcing her to kneel in the sun. However, whenever Wang Yuyan appeared, Qiao Xinran would become innocent and well-behaved. Not only would he stop beating or scolding Xiu'er, he would even praise her in front of her. This double-dealing behavior was chilling.

Xiu'er had been with Qiao Xinran for a long time, and he was no longer able to understand her. Qiao Xinran really couldn't stand him, but she couldn't stand Wang Yuyan. She was originally serving beside the Crown Princess, but when Qiao Xinran came, Wang Yuyan felt that she was more capable, so she sent her to Qiao Xinran to take care of her daily life. However, Qiao Xinran didn't think so. She thought that Wang Yuyan came here to monitor her every move in the palace.

Qiao Xinran had a perverse belief that beating Xiu'er was like hitting Wang Yuyan in the face, so she continued to torture and humiliate her, making her life in the palace a hell.

Xiu'er thought bitterly in her heart, if he really came to monitor him, then he would no longer know that when he was having an affair with the prince, he did not tell the princess about it, but helped to cover up for him. Since he can't get anything good, Xiu'er thought bitterly in her heart, if he really came to monitor him, then he would no longer know that when he was having an affair with the prince, he did not tell the princess about it, but helped to cover up for him. Since he can't get anything good, what should he do?

Xiu'er, these thoughts were running through her mind, and she was struggling with her conscience as Qiao Xinran's slaps continued to fall on her face. The kindness in Xiu'er's heart, who was not very old, gradually released the demon in her body.

Qiao Xinran kept beating until she felt pain in her palms and was exhausted, then she stopped. Xiu'er ordered the palace maids around her to drag her away, and strictly forbade anyone to apply medicine to her. Then, she walked to her son angrily. However, surprisingly, her expression instantly changed from anger to extreme tenderness. "Son, you are my mother's hope. In the future, our whole family will rely on you. You must work hard and be stronger than that brat! Only in this way can our family enjoy endless glory, wealth and status."

There was chaos in Qiao Xinran's palace, Wang Yuyan was jubilant, but Qi Zhenzhu was indifferent. He was neither angry nor discouraged. He knew that he, his mother's family was powerful, and the prince didn't like him that much, but he would not belittle his prestige in the court and the army, which was higher than his brother and father's. Sooner or later, he would be one of the four concubines, so he was full of hope for his future life. Besides, she was pregnant now, so who could say for sure what the future would hold?

And Meng Wanjun was just like usual, what should be done? It was no different from her normal life, but Meng Wanjun lying on the bed tossing and turning showed that he was not at peace. Wang Yuyan was named Queen Kun, so what about him? Would he promote himself? In his eyes, was he still useful?

Qi Zhenzhu is pregnant, Qiao Xinran has a son, and he has nothing. If he fights alone, what good will it bring? So should we make up our minds or call the police? Wang Yuyan's thighs followed him closely. In this cannibalistic harem, if no one supports him and paves the way for him, then he has no chance at all. Since he and Wang Yuyan have formed an alliance, he must stand firmly behind her and not waver. Thinking of this, Meng Wanjun made up her mind, lay quietly, her heart no longer fluctuating, and fell asleep in a moment.

The former Queen Kun, now the Grand Empress Dowager, is also Wang Yuyan's mother-in-law. She has a much more complicated mood. She has been in charge of the harem for so many years, and she is unwilling to hand over her power to her daughter-in-law. However, she has no choice. Her husband has a bad health and has passed away. Her son was born to her, but she can't stand the intrigue of the women in the harem. She can make people disappear without a trace by any means she uses secretly. She has been in charge of the harem for so many years, and she is not unaware of the tricks in it. She has a few lives in her hands.

The Empress Dowager was worried about her future life, not about her husband. She couldn't sleep that night. Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been a big problem. She didn't know what was waiting for Wang Yuyan.
