"Lord Hu Yong is right. Only the Fourth Princess can revive the Great Xia Empire. We beg the Fourth Princess to take the throne!"
The rest of the officials knelt down in agreement.
Xia Wan 'an understood that there had never been an Empress in the Cangxuan Continent. Her ascension to the throne, to put it nicely, was unprecedented, but to put it bluntly, she was risking universal condemnation. If there were loyal ministers who were not afraid of death, they would certainly jump out to oppose her.
However, there were no such loyal officials in the Imperial Court of the Great Xia Empire, which made her experience the feeling of being supported by the public.
"Okay, I will be the Empress."
Xia Wan 'an directly agreed without the slightest bit of hypocritical politeness.
"I will not disappoint you. I will become a wise Empress."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The officials changed their words.
Then Xia Wanan discussed the coronation with them. The Minister of Rites understood her eagerness to take the throne. He pinched his fingers and said that two days later was an auspicious day, which was very suitable for the coronation ceremony. Seeing that he understood her intentions, Xia Wanan handed the matter over to the Ministry of Rites. For a time, the entire Imperial Court was preparing to welcome the new Empress.
The Great Xia Empire was not the only one preparing to welcome the new Empress. The Great Zhou Empire, Great Qi Empire, Great Qin Empire and Great Han Empire were also preparing for the coronation. Su Changcun ascended with the five emperors, causing the five empires to be without a ruler. It was urgent to establish a new Empress.
After the four empires retreated, an unprecedented piece of news swept across the Cangxuan Continent. The story of Xia Wanan defeating millions of soldiers with one sword strike and saving the Great Xia Empire was known by countless people. It became a hot topic for the people of the five empires. Everyone in the streets and alleys were talking about it.
The next day, the Great Xia Empire announced that the coronation ceremony for the Fourth Princess would be held tomorrow at noon. The new Empress would be enthroned and the people would be exempted from taxes and labor.
When this announcement was made, the Cangxuan Continent was in an even greater uproar. Countless people and cultivators could not believe it. They felt that their worldview had been impacted. A princess becoming an Empress only existed in novels. It was a little too shocking for a plot in a novel to be played out in reality.
"The Fourth Princess is the Empress. This is a first!"
"So what if she set a precedent? The reason why the Xia Dynasty can still exist is all because of the Fourth Princess. Without her, we would have become slaves long ago. She should be the Emperor!"
"The Fourth Princess defeated a million soldiers with a single strike of her sword. She's so powerful that she's even qualified to be the Heavenly Emperor, let alone the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"You people who gossip behind people's backs, be careful. It is said that when a cultivator's strength reaches a certain level, they will be able to sense if someone is speaking ill of them behind their back."
"…"
The people of the Xia Dynasty were in heated discussions. After learning of Xia Wan 'an's contributions to the Xia Dynasty, most of the people were extremely supportive of her. Only a small portion of the people who had a strong sense of gender had some complaints.
After the Xia Dynasty made the announcement, the other four Empires all expressed their congratulations to Xia Wan 'an, saying that they would definitely send envoys to Yingdu Prefecture with great gifts to congratulate her. This undoubtedly created another wave of momentum for Xia Wan' an.
Time flew by. Three days later, the streets of Yingdu County were packed with people from all over the country who came to watch the coronation ceremony.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, when Xia Wan 'an appeared in a golden dragon robe, her beautiful figure instantly stunned countless people.
"So, the Fourth Princess is so beautiful?"
"She's simply a fairy from heaven!"
"So beautiful … three days ago, was it really her who defeated a million soldiers with a single strike of her sword?"
"The first time I saw the Fourth Princess, I understood that the new emperor could only be her, and it must be her …"
"…"
The scene of the coronation was chaotic. The people looked at Xia Wan 'an with eyes full of fanaticism and admiration. They only felt that she was incomparably noble and sacred, perfectly satisfying all their fantasies of a fairy.
"Silence! Silence! "
The guards shouted sternly, trying their best to maintain order and suppress the commotion.
Xia Wan 'an stood on the high platform and looked at the countless people who were looking up at her. She couldn't help but feel a thousand emotions in her heart.
A month ago, she was just an unknown abandoned daughter of the royal family. Her future was bumpy and bleak.
However, today, a month later, she was already standing at the top of the Cangxuan Continent and looking down at the world. The short experience of a month was actually longer and more exciting than a lifetime.
"Everything I have now was given to me by the owner of the Internet café …"
Xia Wan 'an thought silently. When she thought that she was about to complete the task of the Internet café owner, she couldn't help but feel excited and look forward to it.
"Your Majesty, this is the coronation edict."
The minister of the Ministry of Rites walked behind her and respectfully handed over an edict.
Xia Wan 'an opened the edict and glanced at it. This edict was personally written by the minister of the Ministry of Rites according to her wishes. The writing was beautiful and the format was strict, without the slightest mistake.
Then, under the gazes of countless people, she recited:
"The previous emperor ascended to heaven and returned to the five elements. I am blessed by the heavens and become a saint …"
Xia Wan 'an's voice was supported by spirit power and swept through the nine heavens and ten earth. It was as sacred and majestic as the heavens issuing a decree. As she continued to recite, the hundreds of thousands of people below all pursed their lips and didn't dare to make the slightest movement for fear that they would blaspheme the new emperor.
"… Relying on the virtuous relatives, seeking a new rule, amnesty for the world, and a new beginning for the people.
Soon, the entire coronation edict was recited.
The civil and military officials had been waiting for her for a long time. They all knelt down and shouted:
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The kneeling of the civil and military officials seemed to have triggered a chain reaction. The hundreds of thousands of people below also knelt down and kowtowed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty …"
The sound waves covered the sky and earth, rolling in.
Xia Wan 'an took a deep breath. Before she could make her final statement, a row of light suddenly popped up in front of her:
[Congratulations to the player for completing the main quest and becoming the first empress of the Great Xia Dynasty. The player is rewarded with the Family Emperor's Sword.]
"I've finally completed the quest!"
She was overjoyed. The next moment —
"Rumble!"
Thunder rumbled and lightning roared.
Everyone looked up and saw a gap suddenly appear in the sky. A bright golden light descended from the gap and floated in front of Xia Wan 'an.
"A miracle! This is a miracle! "
"Even the heavens have sent a congratulatory gift for Your Majesty's coronation. Your Majesty is the true Son of Heaven!"
The officials exclaimed. They were shocked and excited. One must know that when the previous emperors ascended the throne, such a phenomenon didn't happen.
"Is this the Emperor's Sword?"
Xia Wan 'an thought about it and reached out to touch the golden light.
The moment the two touched, the golden light slowly dissipated and revealed a beautiful golden holy sword. The majesty of an emperor spread on the surface of the sword.
