Chao Jinyu dismissed the harem.
Let them go home if they should, and from now on their weddings and funerals will have nothing to do with the palace or him.
And they have also been cleared of their innocence.
In such a restless day, the auspicious day of the queen's coronation ceremony soon arrived.
That day, Ji Chutang was woken up early by the palace maids and was tortured in various ways.
Finally, she changed into a solemn and luxurious phoenix robe that was interwoven with bright red and gold, and put on a priceless phoenix crown.
The palace was also decorated festively everywhere.
It was just like the wedding of the emperor and empress.
In fact, Chao Jinyu did come according to this configuration.
Moreover, Chao Jinyu's clothes were a mixture of bright red and emerald green, which was luxurious and beautiful.
However, the implication behind this made the court officials extremely want to oppose it.
However, when they saw it, they were already at the scene, and even if they disagreed in their hearts, they dared not say a word.
If anyone dares to make the emperor unhappy in such an occasion, he will make all nine generations of your clan unhappy.
When Chao Jinyu watched Ji Chutang walk towards him step by step, the joy emanating from his whole body was visible to the naked eye.
He even disregarded the rules of past dynasties and took the initiative to walk towards Ji Chutang. The two of them seemed to be running towards each other.
They met halfway, and then walked hand in hand towards the top of the ceremony.
The etiquette officer's next lines were also shocking, as they were actually the same lines that the master of ceremonies said at people's weddings.
After the ceremony, Fuliang read out the imperial edict to confer the title of queen.
This grand ceremony completely overturned the cognition of all court officials.
The emperor wore clothes mixed with bright red and emerald green, implying that the woman was marrying him.
It was also against the rules and etiquette for Chao Jinyu to walk towards Ji Chutang regardless of everything.
And the testimonies.
The courtiers had never felt so absurd.
When everything was settled, they left the palace and just had to wait for the palace banquet in the evening.
However, when they left, everyone sighed and walked in a floating manner.
The shock of Chao Jinyu's dismissal of the harem had not yet dissipated, and the ceremony of enthroning the empress came to stimulate them again.
They just feel that if they continue to be stimulated a few more times, they may not live long.
But Chao Jinyu was in power, and the queen he married was the pampered daughter of the two great families, Ji and Gu.
No matter how much others object, it will be of no use.
Before this, the Censor Chen had repeatedly advised against Chao Jinyu's move to disband the harem.
Unexpectedly, Chao Jinyu immediately arranged for the marriage of the daughter of Lord He, the Vice Minister of War, to Lord Chen's son.
But this...is not some heaven-sent marriage.
Lord Chen and Lord He have been enemies for a long time and can't stand each other.
He used this tactic to deal with anyone who opposed him.
Afterwards, no one in the court dared to say a word.
There was a reason why Chao Jinyu did this. He and Ji Chutang had never worshipped heaven and earth properly, which was different from ordinary couples.
And he doesn't want to.
He didn't want to miss any ceremony with his Tangtang.
In the evening, Chao Jinyu and Ji Chutang attended the palace banquet.
However, neither of them continued to wear their daytime clothes because they were too tiring.
Chao Jinyu naturally let her do as easily as possible.
The harem has been disbanded, so there is no need for any clothes or jewelry to support the queen's majesty.
Those who attended the banquet were at least officials of the third rank or above, who brought their families with them.
And among them were the concubines who had been dismissed from the harem.
Looking at Ji Chutang who was being taken care of by Chao Jinyu on the high platform, being pampered and coaxed like a child.
Many people had envy and jealousy in their eyes.
There were also women who admired Chao Jinyu, the handkerchiefs in their hands were about to be torn to pieces, but they dared not say a word on the surface.
On the one hand, they were jealous that Ji Chutang received all the favor and respect from the emperor.
On the other hand, he couldn't be as bold as Ji Chutang and find another shortcut.
Although it was not stated openly, everyone knew secretly that Ji Chutang chose to take a gamble and pretend to be a palace maid to seduce Chao Jinyu.
And she succeeded.
They were jealous of her, so they thought her methods were dishonorable.
But they didn't dare to be as brave as Ji Chutang, so they could only gossip behind his back.
Sitting on the podium is actually a very boring thing. Ji Chutang doesn't like this kind of banquet, so he just concentrates on eating the food in front of him.
There were ministers below flattering the emperor and empress.
There are also some people who speak with ulterior motives.
At this time, a minister suggested that the unmarried women below should take turns to perform, and the crowd became restless for a moment.
Chao Jinyu sneered. He knew exactly what these people were planning. He was about to refuse, but Ji Chutang held his hand.
"Let them do whatever they want. It just so happens that I haven't watched a play for a long time."
Ji Chutang muttered softly, and then realized that the reason he didn't go out to watch the show was because of the guy next to him.
I couldn't help but secretly twist the back of his hand, using a little force.
Chao Jinyu's expression did not show any abnormality. He looked at her with a smile, then nodded and agreed to the proposal of the minister below.
A glimmer of hope rose in the hearts of the ministers.
Some women who still admired Chao Jinyu were also happy and were ready to make a move.
Even if the emperor disbanded the harem for the queen, maybe he just wasn't interested in other people.
Anyone who is a little bit pretty has confidence in themselves. Maybe you are the exception.
So everyone tried their best, some played the piano, some danced, some recited poems...
However, Chao Jinyu didn't even look at him, but kept staring at Ji Chutang with his sharp eyes.
When the performing women looked up shyly, their faces were frozen with anger. On the contrary, Ji Chutang was watching with great interest.
After the palace banquet, the little hope that had risen in the ministers' hearts was completely shattered.
However, everyone thought that it would be impossible for the emperor to not choose a concubine for his entire life, so he could wait for half a year, a year, or three years.
He is not an ordinary peddler. Any wealthy man in this world would want to have three wives and four concubines.
Even farmers would think of buying a beautiful maid when the harvest is good.
However, year after year, the story of the deep love between the emperor and the empress continued to be passed down.
And apart from the harem issue, the ministers no longer had any problems with the emperor.
Chao Jinyu worked hard to govern the country and eventually created a prosperous era, which is known in history as the Ji Dynasty Prosperous Era.
In the year that was recognized as a prosperous era, Ji Chutang's mission was successfully completed, and her years of encouragement to Chao Jinyu were worth it.
A chaise longue was specially placed in the imperial study, and Ji Chutang lay on it, reading a storybook and eating grapes.
From time to time, he urged Chao Jinyu to finish today's government affairs as soon as possible.
System silence: [……]
At this moment, the system prompt sound of task completion rang in Ji Chutang's mind.
It is worth mentioning that Song Anyu also successfully built his own business empire in Yuchao and made great contributions to Yuchao’s GDP.
It also provides jobs for many women in society.
Although the Prince of Beiping has always been ambitious, Chao Jinyu has completely held the power. This time, without Song Anyu as his money bag, he has no chance at all.
……
After Chao Jinyu finally dealt with the government affairs, he happily took Ji Chutang on a secret visit and sneaked out of the palace to play.
This has become their daily routine.
