Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 906

People always didn't care who the emperor was. As long as they could live and work in peace, they would be satisfied. If Xia Houjing could bring people a better life, the people would naturally welcome him. But if he robs them of their food, they would definitely hate him.

The same knife cut bread and fingers. If a ruler lost the support of the people, his rule would soon come to an end.

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and suddenly came up with an idea. Lady Hua Guo was right. If we wanted that position, we have to contend for it by fair means or foul.

Yun Shang curled up her lips into a smile. Xia Houjing did whatever he could to get the throne and insisted on blocking their way. She could also do anything to deal with Xia Houjing.

Seeing that Yun Shang smiled weirdly, Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Look at your evil smile. What tricks are you thinking about?"

Yun Shang stuck out her tongue with a smile and said, "Your Highness, you worry too much. I have no trick." Then she turned around and called Qin Yi in to wash up.

Before the case of disaster relief had any progress, the Grand Ceremony for the Empress had arrived.

The day before the ceremony, Xia Huanyu ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare a golden booklet and the scholar of the Imperial Hanlin Academy to write the content. He also sent the newly-appointed Imperial Astronomer and the Minister of Rites to pay respects the heaven and earth.

On the day of the Grand Ceremony, Yun Shang went to Weiyang Palace early in the morning in her court dress. The Phoenix chariot was already waiting in front of Weiyang Palace. Behind the Phoenix chariot were the Empress's ceremonious guards of honor.

The Ministry of Rites had also sent the Ministry of Music to wait in front of Weiyang Palace. The whole Weiyang Palace was bustling with noise.

When Yun Shang entered Weiyang Palace, she saw the Empress in a red robe embroidered with phoenixes and peonies. In the middle of the eight colorful phoenixes, the peonies were blooming brightly.

After the maid straightened the Phoenix robe, she took out a Phoenix crown, which was decorated with vivid pattern of six dragons and three phoenixes, glittering with lust.

Empress Hua had always been elegant and dignified. Now she looked more imposing in the Phoenix robe and Phoenix crown.

"Your Majesty are so beautiful today." Shocking by Empress Hua, Yun Shang could only think of the word "beautiful" though she had read a lot of poems.

Empress Hua slightly turned her head and looked at Yun Shang with a forced smile. "If I have to dress like this every day, I will regret coming back to the palace."

After a pause, she laughed. "It's too heavy. I think I can pick up a broadsword of twenty kilograms. But as soon as the Phoenix crown is pressed on my head, I feel that even my neck is not mine. Now I feel extremely painful when I turn my head around."

Hearing this, Yun Shang hurriedly said, "There is still some time before the ceremony. If Your Majesty feel uncomfortable, you could take off the Phoenix crown first." Then she stepped forward and help her take off the Phoenix crown. Yun Shang frowned and was surprised that Phoenix crown was really heavy.

Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Empress Hua laughed and said gently, "Is it heavy?"

Yun Shang nodded. Empress Hua looked at Yun Shang and said with a smile, "Don't laugh at me. I only need to endure the formality for one day. You are the one who'll suffer a lot in the days to come."

Yun Shang was in a daze for a moment. She didn't know why Empress Hua said so, so she just smiled and didn't respond.

After the two of them takled for a while, a maid rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, the Grand Ceremony is about to start. Please put on the Phoenix crown and get on the Phoenix chariot."

Empress Hua nodded and asked someone to put the Phoenix crown back on her head and fixed it carefully before she stood up and slowly walked out of Weiyang Palace with the help of several maids.

Outside the Weiyang Palace, the Phoenix chariot and the guards of honor had been prepared, and the music had also been played. The maids helped Empress Hua get on the chariot, and exclaimed, "Start."

Yun Shang was about to step back when she was stopped by the Empress. "Let's go to the Taiji Palace together. I'm at a loss."
