The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Ji Bingyan, dressed in a gold-embroidered phoenix robe, sat gracefully on the phoenix throne!

Song Zhaoruo took a step forward: "Hush!"

Civil and military officials: "Long live the Emperor!"

Song Zhaoruo sang again: "Hail, mountain!"

Civil and military officials: "Long live the Emperor!"

Song Zhaoruo: "Let's shout again!"

Civil and military officials: "Long live the Emperor!"

Amidst the shouts of "Long live the Emperor!" from civil and military officials, Ji Bingyan, the new emperor, finally ascended to the throne!

"Everyone is safe!"

After Ji Bingyan put on the phoenix robe and wore the phoenix crown, her aura was completely different from before!

"Thank you, my emperor!"

After the coronation ceremony, Ji Bingyan returned to her palace.

Today is the day she has just ascended the throne, so there are no state affairs to handle. After this, it's like she's off work.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Jia Daoshi was in his bedchamber, bowing to his empress.

"My lord! You're so annoying!"

Ji Bingyan gave a playful, slightly annoyed rebuke.

Unexpectedly, this sentence aroused Jia Daoshi. He looked at the empress in front of him wearing a phoenix robe, stepped forward, picked her up without saying a word, and walked towards the dragon bed.

Jia Daoshi had been waiting for this day for quite some time; he wanted Ji Bingyan to wear the Empress's uniform, and then...

……

After all that fuss, another two hours passed.

Ji Bingyan straightened her torn phoenix robe, speechless: "I've only worn it for half a day..."

"Hahaha..." Jia Daoshi laughed heartily.

"You're so mean, I'll make you laugh!" Ji Bingyan opened her small mouth and bit Jia Daoshi's shoulder.

Although she was the supreme empress in the imperial court, she could only be bullied by Jia Daoshi.

"Alright, my lady, how does it feel to sit on the phoenix throne? Do you feel any burden facing all these court officials?"

Jia Daoshi put his arm around his wife's waist and asked with concern.

Ji Bingyan nodded gently and said, "Yes, there are definitely burdens. Sitting in this position, there are too many things to consider. The vast country and the people under heaven, I am very worried that I will not do a good enough job and let everyone down."

"No matter what happens, your husband is here. Actually, you don't need to have such a heavy burden. There are still so many ministers here! Especially the Left Prime Minister Ruan Zhaoxiang, that old man is very powerful. Just make good use of him."

Jia Daoshi stroked Ji Bingyan's head, comforting her with a gentle expression.

It's a consensus that being an emperor is indeed not easy.

They look impressive on the outside, but they're actually really tired.

Of course, if you want to be a tyrannical ruler who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, that's another story.

Ji Bingyan took over the position to prevent internal strife in the Great Jing Dynasty, as she herself had no interest in the position.

"Yes, with my husband here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Ji Bingyan nestled in Jia Daoshi's arms. Only in front of Jia Daoshi could she become that little woman, that young lady.

Jia Daoshi felt Ji Bingyan's affection for him and was deeply moved.

On the path to becoming emperors, they will rely on each other and walk together!

While Jia Daoshi and Ji Bingyan were enjoying their tender moment, the Fifth Prince Wu Quan, far away in Jiangnan, was extremely anxious!

"How laughable! After all the fighting among the nine princes for the throne, Ji Bingyan actually managed to snatch it all away!"

Wu Quan was furious. He slammed his palm down, smashing a rockery in the garden into dust.

However, this did not seem to be enough to vent his anger!

That's true. All that scheming over the past few years has led to this mess. To outsiders, it's a joke!

"Fifth Prince, please calm down. There should be a turning point in this matter."

An aide appeared to offer comfort.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Wu Quan turned his head and saw that the speaker was the strategist he had invited. He immediately suppressed his anger and asked.

The advisor knew this wasn't the time to show off, so he said directly, "Fifth Prince, I believe that Princess Taiping's ascension to the throne will be beneficial to us!"

"If His Majesty were to bestow titles upon the three princes and allow the eldest prince's son to succeed to the throne, that might be able to intimidate the world."

"But now, it's not like that. Instead, Princess Taiping has been made to succeed to the throne, which means that the Great Jing Dynasty will have a second female emperor!"

"Princess Taiping's methods are far inferior to those of the Empress. I believe that soon, the various vassal kings of the Great Jing will rise up in rebellion!"

"Especially General Mingheying!"

"When the Great Jing is in complete chaos, we can raise an army and take over the capital directly. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Quan immediately laughed.

That does sound like it.

The landscape appears peaceful now, but beneath the calm surface lie turbulent undercurrents.

Among them are many ambitious individuals whose sights are not merely to be a carefree prince!

Especially those brothers from when the late emperor was on the throne.

With two empresses rising in succession, the princes are bound to be restless.

"What you say is quite true, but just waiting like this is definitely not enough. This prince has to do something, but it's hard to quell the fire in my heart!"

Wu Quan's lips curled into a cold smile; he was not one to sit idly by.

"You may all leave. I need to make some plans!"

"Yes!"

After the strategists had all left, Wu Quan walked through the garden and came to a secluded courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, Wu Quan arrived at the door of a meditation room, then pushed the door open and went inside.

The rooms inside are small and simply furnished.

An old monk dressed in yellow robes sat in the middle of the meditation room.

"Master Bujie, this prince requests your help to kill two people!"

Wu Quan first put his hands together and bowed three times to the old monk, then spoke.

The monk Bujie, who had been chanting sutras with his eyes closed, spoke up after hearing Wu Quan's words: "I wonder who the Fifth Prince intends to kill?"

"Killing the two great generals in the court would be tantamount to severing a pair of arms of the imperial court!"

Upon hearing this, Monk Bujie stopped chanting and said, "I know who the Fifth Prince is talking about, but dealing with the two of them will be very troublesome. Behind them are my old rivals. If I make a move, they certainly won't stand idly by."

"Master, do you still have old rivals? Could they be from Daowu King Valley and Liushu Heavenly Palace?"

Wu Quan was taken aback. The old monk in front of him was a peak-level cultivator of the Free and Unfettered Realm, a top-tier member of the Cloud Drum Thunder Peak.

If he has any old rivals, they can only be in Daowu King Valley and Liushu Tianque!

Only within these two sects would there be someone that Elder Monk Bujie is so wary of.

"The Fifth Prince is right." The old monk Bujie nodded and did not hide anything. "She's just a restless madwoman in Liushu Tianque. But Your Highness doesn't need to worry. I have already sent a message back to Yun Gu Lei Feng about this matter. Since we have chosen to stand on the Fifth Prince's side, we will naturally help the Fifth Prince share his burdens and solve his troubles."

"Then thank you very much, Master Bujie!"
