After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 234: Conferring the title of Queen and Crown Prince

Wang Fuyang was also very excited, but after all, he had seen the world, so under the guidance of Eunuch Li Jin, he remained calm and spoke clearly.

The first decree issued was to confer the title of Empress Dowager on Consort Xian, and her title was Empress Dowager Zhaosheng.

When they heard the title in the imperial edict, all the civil and military officials present knew how important the virtuous concubine, also known as the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, was in the heart of the new emperor.

This was the first imperial edict, and it did not cause much of a stir. After all, the new emperor and his biological mother had always had a good relationship, which was a well-known fact. So although people were surprised that the new emperor gave such an honorable title, it was also expected.

What came next was the most important news. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Wang Fuyang to issue the second imperial edict.

The princess's finger joints turned white from pinching the iron bars, and she stared at the imperial edict in Wang Fuyang's hand without blinking.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I inherit the order of Heaven and carry on the great foundation. When the rites of the harem are righteous, the internal governance is complete. I advise you, Ji, to be a jade, a beautiful girl from a famous family, dignified and gentle... You should be placed in the center of the palace and be the mother of the world. Now you are canonized as the Empress, in charge of the affairs of the six palaces and commanding the concubines. I hope you will be faithful to your wifely duties, assist me in governing the country, and extend your grace to the world and your virtue to the people. I decree this."

After the words fell, the princess' heart was at ease and she showed a genuine and brilliant smile. Then she thought of her current identity and suppressed her excitement, showing a dignified and appropriate smile to everyone.

From today on, she, Ji Chengyu, is the queen, second only to the emperor and above everyone else!

At this moment, she was extremely grateful for her father's choice. Her father's vision was as good as ever!

Qi Shao and Qi Shu beside the princess were extremely happy at the moment, but no matter how happy they were in their hearts, they still maintained a decent expression on their faces. It was just that the fingers in their sleeves were pinched until they turned white, indicating the unrest in their hearts.

Now, apart from the princess and her son, the happiest person must be the princess's father, the Minister of Personnel. At this moment, the Minister of Personnel was smiling so hard that his teeth were exposed. He straightened his body subconsciously, feeling the envious glances of the ministers around him, and glanced in the direction of Qiao Yunshan calmly. That glance was full of deep meaning and a hint of provocation.

No matter how favored your daughter is, how powerful your grandson is, and how much support he gets from the ministers, the position of Queen and the position of Crown Prince will still be in the pocket of his daughter and grandson, humph!

The Minister of Revenue Qiao Yunshan, who was reminded by someone beside him and looked in that direction, happened to see the expression of the Minister of Personnel: He rolled his eyes at him indecently, secretly cursed, "What are you so proud of, old man!" Then he turned his head and looked away.

Then he stood calmly with his hands folded, occasionally looking in the direction of his daughter. He had just seen where his daughter was standing. Now that his daughter had entered the palace, it would be even more difficult to meet her in the future. Thinking of this, Qiao Yunshan became unhappy.

However, Qiao Yunshan still cared a lot about his daughter's future position. However, thinking of his current official position, plus You'er, the position that the new emperor would give to his daughter should not be too low. She must be one of the four concubines, right?

As for the ministers' speculations about the residence in the palace since yesterday, Qiao Yunshan didn't take it to heart. After all, the queen was still there, and the imperial concubine would basically not be given a title. He would be satisfied if his daughter could become one of the four concubines in the future.

Next, everyone present became even more nervous.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next thing will be the edict to enthrone the prince. Many ministers have some opinions on this, but the new emperor has taken office and this is a special period, so even if they oppose it, it would not be appropriate.

In the minds of the ministers, Qi Shao and Qi You were the ones they placed their main bets on, and even among the ministers, Qi You had a higher voice. However, Qi You lost to Qi Shao, the legitimate son, in terms of status, and Qi Shao was already the crown prince when the new emperor was still a prince. Therefore, many people privately felt sorry for Qi You.

They believed in Emperor Jingyuan's vision more than they believed in themselves. Emperor Jingyuan's vision was recognized and admired by all civil and military officials in the court, so Qi You also held a great position in their hearts.

The princess looked at Qiao Rongjin somewhat uneasily at this moment. She was a little afraid of accidents. After all, Qi You was really not inferior to her own son, and was even far superior to her own son. The most he was born a step ahead of her son. Therefore, she felt very uneasy.

Qi Shao also looked at Qiao Rongjin calmly, trying to see some other information on her face.

Not only these two people, Chen's gaze was even more direct and terrifying than that of the princess and her son.

Coupled with the stares from many ministers below, even a person with a slow reaction like Qiao Rongjin could feel it.

Qiao Rongjin who was watching with great interest: So, what does it mean to look at her entirely?

When Aunt Wu saw this, she understood what was happening, and moved quietly to cover most of her master's body, blocking everyone's view.

Qiao Rongjin was very satisfied with this. Aunt Wu was always very capable and had a thoughtful heart. Qiao Rongjin would generally bring her with him when attending large occasions. In addition to being able to teach him a lot of knowledge, she was also considerate and thoughtful, which was something even Qinglian could not match.

Everyone at the scene was nervous and anxious, and they all raised their heads waiting for the next imperial edict to be issued.

"I have inherited the will of heaven, ascended the throne, and rule the world. Among my sons, the eldest prince Qi Shao is both virtuous and talented, benevolent, filial, respectful, and has the demeanor of a gentleman... After careful consideration, I have specially appointed the eldest prince Qi Shao as the crown prince and placed him in the position of the Crown Prince. I hope that he will live up to my expectations, cultivate himself diligently, and hone his virtues... I decree this."

When Qi Shao heard the imperial edict, his nervous heart finally calmed down, and an indescribable smile of happiness appeared on his face. After all, he was a child, and at this moment, no matter how hard he tried to hide his emotions, he couldn't help but reveal his true emotions.

The queen also smiled at this moment, a smile that she couldn't suppress at all.

She was really happy that she had obtained the positions of Queen and Crown Prince. At this moment, she finally felt that her years of hard work had paid off. Now, facing the envious and respectful eyes of everyone, she felt like she was floating in the air.

"The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old!"

Then, there was another round of kneeling at the scene, and Qiao Rongjin and others followed suit.

Just when everyone thought that the coronation ceremony was over, Wang Fuyang took out another imperial edict.

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment, and many ministers began to wonder who this imperial edict was for. However, a few ministers had already looked in the direction of Qiao Rongjin.

Not surprisingly, they thought that this imperial edict would be addressed to the former concubine Qiao.

Seeing this, the Queen and the Crown Prince also had some guesses and looked at Qiao Rongjin beside them.
