Lu Luanti wore a lavish Zhai Clothes, with a Phoenix Crown on her head, her face blushed, radiant as peaches and plums.

However, at this moment, her mind was a complete mess, her thoughts in disarray.

Lu Luanti was wondering what on earth was going on, how she had confusedly ended up standing here, wearing this attire only an Empress would wear.

Oh right! It was last night.

Chu Xisheng suddenly invited her to drink and chat in the backyard of the Iron Banner Gang headquarters.

At that time, Lu Luanti was very happy.

She knew how busy Chu Xisheng was upon returning to the Iron Banner Gang, yet he took time away from his busy schedule at this critical moment before the founding of the country to accompany her.

In the pavilion of the backyard, they talked about everything under the sun, reminiscing about their first meeting, and the experiences of the past few years.

So when Chu Xisheng said ’Would you be willing to marry me as my wife’, she didn’t even think about it, just blankly agreed.

Then—then she lost all awareness, as if she drank herself into a stupor.

Lu Luanti’s eyes were filled with suspicion, what kind of drink did Chu Xisheng use?

What kind of top-notch divine brew stolen from the Central Earth Giant Spirit, specifically for Tributors to the Gods, could intoxicate her, a dignified Third Grade Lower Tier dual cultivator of Magic and Martial Arts!

When she regained clarity just a moment ago, she found herself already changed into a new set of clothes, being escorted by a group of female officials, and in a daze led here.

It was not until she entered this Taizheng Hall, filled with the assembly of ministers with Chu Xisheng and faced numerous gazes from people, especially the surprising looks of Iron Madman at the lead of many officials including her father, Lu Chen, that Lu Luanti suddenly realized what happened.

Instinctively, she had an impulse to flee.

However, at this moment, another hand of Chu Xisheng reached over and tightly grasped her small hand.

"You promised me, you can’t go back on your word."

Chu Xisheng’s expression was solemn and serious, yet his voice carried three parts of laughter and seven parts seriousness: "This is the founding ceremony, Li’er if you run away now, my face as the Primordial Emperor will be completely lost, and the prestige of the Dalv Dynasty will be swept away. Li’er, you wouldn’t want to see me embarrassed on the first day of founding, would you?"

Meanwhile, Chu Yunyun coldly glanced at the hand Chu Xisheng was holding with Lu Luanti.

She felt slightly uncomfortable in her heart, but then she thought of the words in Chu Fengge’s will.

Chu Yunyun sighed quietly, forcing herself to look away.

Lu Luanti was in a daze for a while.

She looked at the thousands of courtiers in the Taizheng Hall and the same number of generals.

The square outside the hall, where countless soldiers were waiting.

Lu Luanti’s heart trembled slightly, immediately calming her expression and demeanor, trying to display a gentle and graceful posture.

She then ground her teeth slightly, thinking this is nothing but a deception, right?

Yet, being in this place at this moment, even if she wanted to explode, to settle accounts with Chu Xisheng, it should be after the grand ceremony is over.

Lu Luanti couldn’t help but think again.

Why was she wearing the Zhai Clothes Phoenix Crown, attire only an Empress would have.

What on earth was Chu Xisheng planning?

At this moment, she noticed she was holding a small piece of paper in her left hand.

It seemed to be slipped into her hand by a female official while she was led over in her stupor.

Curious, Lu Luanti glanced at the paper while turning around on the imperial steps.

As the writing on the note came into view, her face instantly turned deathly pale, devoid of all color.

At this moment, a Ritual Officer stood below the imperial steps and unfolded an imperial edict, loudly proclaiming.

"——Only the Dao embodies the original Heaven and Earth, the Beginning (Qian) depends on the faithful (Kun) to accomplish, the king holds symbols to govern the universe, succeeding to uphold the culture. Secure in all directions, relying on external support; commanding the six arrays, relying internally is essential. Thus, the rise of Tushan, assisting the Yushun and extending afar; marrying from Youshen, aiding the rise of Tang’s fortune and prosperity——

——Now there is General of Northern Town Chu Yunyun, born in the Ding Clan, educated in the Public Palace. Celebrated for her virtues and esteemed for her elegance. Gentle and leisurely by nature, embodying benevolence and integrity.

Moreover, with military prowess unparalleled, courage leading all three armies, allowing me to pursue heavenly endeavors without worries of the internal affairs, gaining success through difficulties, jointly striving in founding the nation, as now the universe is cleared, I ascend to the grand throne, indeed consistent in achievements, should take the official title. Now specially delegated by envoy to confer the gold booklet and gold treasure upon you, to uphold the orthodoxy of humanism, to be the motherly figure of the world, and to set an example for the Six Palaces!"

This is the decree appointing Chu Yunyun as the Empress of the Central Palace.

However, the next two decrees stirred a buzzing commotion among the assembled ministers within the hall, before calming down again.

"——Only the Dao embodies the original Heaven and Earth, the Beginning (Qian) depends on the faithful (Kun) to accomplish. With humanity’s guidance, governs the grand ethos, matching virtues of the consort, to foster inner governance. The sages have manifested their beginnings, hence the creation of boats in anticipation of readiness; the poets have expressed beauty through transformation, thus the continuous wind of the South of Zhou bears its start.

Now there is the Ice City Queen Ween Suyi, blessed with an illustrious lineage, nurtured in a distinguished family, with a gentle and kind heart, graceful in demeanor, with complete virtuous conduct, long acclaimed for her noble virtues. In the past, assisted my troops of many thousands, as a cornerstone of the Dynasty, with conquests in all directions, unfailingly successful. Now established with the treasure book as Vice Empress, stationed in the West Palace, all ceremonial codes, in the same capacity as the Empress."

"I have heard that precious light radiates brilliance, pairing with the Qian axis to accompany. Golden mud casts its shine, issuing commands to spread benevolence. Only the Central Palace is indeed the foundation of the king’s transformation, and inner governance is the basis of human ethics.

Lu Luanti from Rumeng Manor, formerly entrusted with the bright mandate, reverent and dutiful in household affairs, gentle and virtuous, elegant and dignified. Now established with the treasure book as Vice Empress, stationed in the East Palace, all ceremonial codes, in the same capacity as the Empress!"

When the decree was fully announced, all the ministers kneeling to hear decree immediately bowed in worship.

After the ceremony was completed, the ministers rose and couldn’t help but turn their heads slightly to exchange glances with their colleagues beside them.
