Chapter 8 Killing

The day after the mourning period is over, the coronation ceremony will be held.

"Your Majesty, what if there are still people who don't support it tomorrow?"

"killed."

As Bai Nanyu stepped onto the white jade steps, the atmosphere of the entire palace reached a climax. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, which made him look even more dazzling in the sun. The golden color was like the sun, illuminating the entire palace.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites had already been waiting outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, holding trays with various items needed for the ceremony. When they saw the new emperor appear, they immediately stepped forward and respectfully presented the dragon robe, jade seal and other items. Bai Nanyu nodded slightly, taking these items that symbolized the imperial power, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Bai Nanyu was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a jade crown, sitting on the dragon throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. His eyes were like torches, scanning the civil and military officials below, and he exuded an air of dominance.

The melodious sound of the bell spread to every corner of the palace, announcing that the auspicious time for the new emperor to ascend the throne had arrived. Bai Nanyu slowly stood up, walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and stepped onto the white jade steps. Every step seemed steady and powerful. All the officials knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting "Long live the emperor".

Because Bai Nanyu did not have a wife before he ascended the throne, it stands to reason that he could only establish a queen the following year.

Just as the bells echoed, Shen Nianshu and others had arrived outside the palace. They were dressed in gorgeous palace attire, with charming faces and elegant temperaments. When the palace guards saw them, they immediately bowed respectfully and let them go. Everyone stepped into this splendid palace with a bit of anticipation and nervousness.

The atmosphere in the palace was solemn and solemn, completely different from their daily lives. Shen Nianshu couldn't help but clenched the handkerchief in her hand, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down. They followed the palace maid's guidance and walked through corridors , finally arriving at the square outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Many important court officials, maids and eunuchs had gathered in the square, and their eyes were all focused on the new emperor Bai Nanyu . Shen Nianshu and others looked from a distance and saw Bai Nanyu standing on the white jade steps, tall and straight, with extraordinary momentum.

Following the instructions of the palace maid, Shen Nianshu and others knelt down at the designated position, bowed their heads and waited respectfully for the next ceremony.

Nanyu sitting inside . His eyes slowly swept across the people in the square, and finally settled on Shen Nianshu and others.

At this time, Eunuch De read loudly the decree of conferring the title of concubine . His voice echoed in the square, and every word was clearly heard by everyone. Shen Nianshu was named Concubine Shu, Mrs. Jing was named Concubine Jing, Mrs. Xi was named Concubine Xi, and Mrs. Yun was named Concubine Yun. What people did not expect was that Shen Nianwan was named Imperial Concubine.

Complex emotions surged in Shen Nianshu's heart. Imperial concubine, a position of honor second only to the queen. Unexpectedly, Shen Nianwan would reach the sky in one step and be above them. This news is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Night fell, and the palace lights were as bright as day. Shen Nianshu stood alone in front of the window, looking at the starry night sky outside, with mixed feelings in her heart. Tomorrow morning, she would go to say hello to Shen Nianwan. She could think of Shen Nianwan's triumphant look with her eyes closed.

The next day.

Shen Mianwan sat on it, with a proud smile on her face, and the maids knelt on the ground, serving respectfully.

Shen Nianshu, Concubine Jing, Concubine Xi, Concubine Yun , and everyone else entered the dormitory one after another. They had decent smiles on their faces, but they had their own concerns in their hearts. Shen Nianshu was wearing elegant palace clothes and a beaded crown, looking dignified and beautiful. Concubine Jing, Concubine Xi and Concubine Yun also wore gorgeous clothes, showing different styles.

Everyone knelt down and saluted, and said in unison, "I, my concubines, are waiting to see you, the imperial concubine. May your concubine be in good health."

Shen Nianwan sat on the soft couch and smiled. She specially dressed up today, and her bright palace outfit made her look radiant. She glanced at everyone with satisfaction, especially when she saw Shen Nianshu, a trace of pride flashed in her eyes.

Shen Nianwan smiled, but had no intention of getting them up. She slowly tasted the tea in her hand, seeming to enjoy this supreme honor. Her eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally landed on Shen Nianshu, with a hint of imperceptible provocation flashing in her eyes.

Shen Nianshu's heart sank slightly, but she quickly adjusted her emotions and still maintained a decent smile on her face.

At this moment, Shen Nianwan put down the tea cup in her hand and said softly, "We are all sisters, no need to be polite, just get up." Her voice was soft and warm, as if the spring breeze was blowing on her face.

After hearing this, everyone stood up one after another. Shen Nianshu also stood up and looked up at Shen Nianwan. He saw her looking at him with a smile, and there seemed to be a hint of deep meaning in her bright eyes .

Shen Nianwan waved gently, and the maids immediately came forward and served fragrant tea and exquisite snacks to everyone. Shen Nianwan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and spoke slowly, "Now that we sisters have entered the palace and become the emperor's women. I hope that everyone can abide by the palace rules , live in harmony, and share the emperor's worries together."

As she spoke, her eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally landed on Shen Nianshu, and smiled slightly, "Especially you, sister Shu. You have always been smart, and I believe you can adapt to life here quickly."

Shen Nianshu's heart trembled , she lowered her head respectfully and said, "Yes, the Imperial Concubine."

Shen Nianwan nodded with satisfaction, chatted a few words with the others, and asked everyone to retreat.

As night fell, the palace was brightly lit and peaceful. Bai Nanyu sat on the dragon chair, reviewing the memorials with deep eyes. Eunuch De walked in quietly and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the cards tonight."

Bai Nanyu put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his temple, and a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes. He nodded and signaled Eunuch De to present the sign.

Eunuch De carefully placed an exquisite wooden box on the dragon table, opened the lid, and revealed the neatly arranged green cards inside.

Bai Nanyu stretched his hand into the air and suddenly paused. He frowned slightly, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he said softly, "Ask the Imperial Concubine to come and serve."

Eunuch De was stunned for a moment, then he bowed his head respectfully, turned around and exited the hall. After a while, Shen Nianwan was led to the imperial study room by the palace maid. She was wearing a pink dress and her gait was light, like a blooming peony.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"Pink suits you."
