The four countries sent their congratulations, and hundreds of officials knelt in welcome. Outside Yuheng's newly built Tianqi Hall, both sides of the 399 white jade steps were filled with people!
This scene was grand, and it indicated that Yuheng had turned a new page.
When Kim Yoon walked to the bottom of the jade steps, he felt his restless heart calm down. He felt everyone's gaze on him, and at that moment, he felt something in his heart.
His world might not be as vast as GongYimo's, but his starting point was already very high. He had a lot, but … he glanced at GongYimo, but he didn't have GongYimo.
He couldn't keep her …
He smiled.
He also wanted to let go of everything and leave with Mo'er, but now, the path to Tianqi Hall was right in front of him, and he couldn't let go.
So he brought GongYimo here. She had accompanied him through the most difficult times, and he hoped that this most glorious journey would also be with her.
The appearance of the two immediately caused a huge uproar! There was no other reason, because at this time, even the Empress couldn't stand by his side.
Immediately, a minister came forward to object.
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate. She can't go up the white jade stage with you."
Jin Yun faintly glanced at him. In that instant, he understood what the Emperor's prestige was and what the Emperor's authority was.
"She … is my coronator."
Kim Yoon said this, and it was considered an explanation.
That person was even more shocked! Wasn't the coronator already decided? Was it Grand Tutor Wu Jian? Grand Tutor Wu Jian had been a senior official for three dynasties, and only he had the qualifications. And this girl … if he wasn't wrong, this was Dai Yu State's princess? What kind of scandal was this?
"This is not allowed. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
As soon as he said this, all the ministers hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Kim Yoon held GongYimo's hand as they stood at the bottom of the white jade steps. Suddenly, he revealed a smile that GongYimo was familiar with. His smile contained confidence. The Kim Yoon who was originally only dazzling on the stage had come alive — he had completely transformed, becoming a stage anytime, anywhere.
The humble and courteous Second Prince was not here. He was the Emperor of Yuheng and had his own edge.
"We have decided. It's her. It's her."
This was a notice, not a question.
"This …!"
The old official's eyes widened as he raised his head. Kim Yoon had already brought GongYimo up the white jade stairs.
Kim Yoon's tough attitude was a clear indication of his determination! What could these old officials say, no matter how old they were?
Thus, the officials no longer made a sound. They watched as this person, who did not belong to Yuheng, was pulled onto the high platform by the Emperor.
What did it mean to be the center of attention? This was what it meant to be the center of attention!
GongYimo could not get used to Kim Yoon's sudden change. She was pulled up high by him. At the top were the envoys from the four countries and the various kings. They watched as Kim Yoon forcefully brought a woman to accompany him on this heaven-like platform. This … was an honor that even the Empress would not have!
But when they saw who the woman was, they were strangely calm. The Dai Yu State's envoy stood behind the pale-faced Gong Dai. He secretly thought to himself that their Dai Yu State's princess was really shameless no matter where she went!
Lou Ye's envoy was thinking that it was fortunate that the King did not come. Otherwise, he would definitely go berserk.
As for Yu Qi's envoy, he was deep in thought. He glanced at GongYimo and revealed a scheming expression.
But Kim Yoon did not notice any of this. He pulled GongYimo past all the envoys and walked up to the highest platform. At that place, other than the person holding the imperial crown, there was no one else who could stand there.
That person was Imperial Tutor Wu Jian. At this moment, he had already retreated a stone's throw away. When he saw Kim Yoon come up, he quickly knelt down and raised the golden plate in his hands. That imperial crown was placed in front of GongYimo.
"Princess, please crown His Highness."
Imperial Tutor Wu Jian was an old man in his seventies. He could clearly see that today's crown was being crowned by Dai Yu State's Gu Country's princess.
He was one of the earliest people to follow Kim Yoon. He knew how important GongYimo was in Kim Yoon's heart. It was no exaggeration to say that without GongYimo, there would be no Kim Yoon. Even Yuheng's situation would change!
Therefore, he knelt down because she deserved it!
Wu Jian was definitely the authority in the hearts of all the old officials! They were still in a daze. But since Imperial Tutor Wu Jian had knelt down and willingly gave up the honor, what else could they say to make the new emperor unhappy?
Therefore, they all knelt down and shouted in unison.
"Princess, please crown His Highness!"
"Princess, please crown His Highness —"
The shouts were deafening and could almost be heard in the entire Yuheng Imperial Palace.
GongYimo turned around and saw hundreds of officials kneeling on both sides of the jade platform. When they knelt, the palace servants and guards all knelt down as well. Layer by layer, they were like dominoes that stretched out to the outside of the square.
Their expressions could not be seen, but at this moment, their status was at her feet. So what if this was Yuheng?
On the highest platform, Kim Yoon actually knelt down on one knee!
He looked at GongYimo with a sincere expression.
"Mo'er, please crown me."
At this moment, the originally stunned GongYimo suddenly felt sour in her heart. Kim Yoon, he had completely placed her in the highest position!
So much so that on this day, he was willing to lower his head and let her crown him.
Now, in the entire Yuheng Imperial Palace, she was the only one standing. Today, Kim Yoon should be the most dazzling one, and this honor was given to her.
GongYimo suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and personally removed the crown from Kim Yoon's head. She lifted the crown on the golden plate with both hands and held it high above Kim Yoon's head.
"Yuheng's Fourth Emperor, Kim Yoon, please raise your head."
According to convention, GongYimo could represent the heavens and make Kim Yoon swear three oaths. Therefore, her tone was solemn. When their eyes met, their hearts trembled.
"First, I promise to devote my life to the people and grant Yuheng prosperity."
"Yes."
Kim Yoon closed his eyes and solemnly replied.
GongYimo looked at him. At this moment, she actually felt that Kim Yoon was in pain!
Why was he in pain?
"Second, I promise to devote my life to peace and grant Yuheng a hundred years of peace!"
Kim Yoon suddenly glanced at her and finally made this promise.
"Yes!"
GongYimo smiled and gently tied the crown on his head.
The twelve strings of beads at the front of the golden crown covered his excessively beautiful eyes. At this moment, in GongYimo's heart, Kim Yoon had already become the emperor. But in Kim Yoon's heart, he thought of the night she had left Yuheng, the night he had danced for her, the night she had tied the crown for him.
Now that he thought about it, it was still vivid in his mind, but the reality seemed to be a lifetime ago.
If he hadn't missed her back then and caught her a little earlier, would the ending have been different?
At this moment, he heard GongYimo's gentle expectation.
"Third, I promise to be happy."
Kim Yoon suddenly looked at her. At this moment, the beads on his forehead collided, showing the turbulent emotions in his heart.
