299 The Succession of the Empress
The eunuch carried the dragon robe and hat and stood beside the Emperor.
“Empress, let me ask you, if someone bullies the citizens of the country, what will you do?” The imperial preceptor looked at Jiang Xi and questioned him loudly. The emperor’s answer to this question was to rule the world with benevolence, courtesy first, then force. The former emperor’s answer was to give him a taste of his own medicine. As it turned out, their answers at the beginning had a lot to do with the ideas they used to govern the country.
Jiang Xi knelt on the ground and took three incense sticks. “I must kill him! Those who humiliate my people must be killed!” Jiang Xi’s eyes were filled with killing intent, and even the wind and snow around her became stronger. It was a terrifying sight.

Hearing this answer, even the emperor’s hand trembled. As an emperor, the mediocre lived the longest.
“Empress, change your clothes and put on your hat!” The palace maid took the empress’ new clothes and put them on Jiang Xi respectfully. The throne with the golden dragon engraved on it was placed in front of him. The emperor stood at the side, full of reluctance. The eunuch held the heirloom seal on a tray and stood in front of the emperor to complete the ceremony. From then on, Jiang Xi would be the real empress of their country.
The imperial preceptor looked at Jiang Xi as he put on the dragon robe, and her slightly childish face seemed to be a little serious. To his surprise, Jiang Xi did not smile at all when she was sitting on the throne. Her face was indifferent from the beginning to the end, as if inheriting the throne was as simple as eating and drinking. As expected of the first empress, she was so bold!
Others could not see it, but the imperial preceptor could see it. The morning star that represented this country was getting brighter and brighter, he was afraid… Jiang Xi was really the wise ruler that the country had been waiting for!
The emperor walked in front of Jiang Xi and looked at her chubby little face, which seemed to be soft and harmless. His heart was filled with suspicion. “Although you’re my biological daughter and came here with a myriad of good fortune, but… If one day you do anything that harms the interests of the country, I will be the first to not forgive you! This country was fought for by our ancestors bit by bit, and it took hundreds of years to reach its current territory. If you lose even a little bit, you will be a sinner of the country, and you should just give it on the throne.” The emperor’s face darkened. If it was a boy, he would have directly said that he should commit suicide to apologize for his offense. However, Jiang Xi was a delicate girl, so the emperor could only change his words.
Jiang Xi raised her head slightly and said with a rare serious expression, “I, Jiang Xi, swear on my head that I will expand the territory of my country to every inch of land I have ever traveled! Every step I take, it’s my land. Every inch I step, it’s my world!” Jiang Xi was dressed in a dragon robe. Every time she said a sentence, Song Yun and Zheng Shan’er’s eyes lit up.
‘Every step I take is my land!’
‘Every inch I take is my world! ‘

Prince Ding’s head drooped down. ‘It’s over, it’s over. Where’s the travel adventure?’ Not to mention that he did not have a harem, the position of overlord is also gone and he had to be suppressed by those people in his previous life… He just wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.
The emperor was also ambitious. However, the longer he had been an emperor, the more he did not dare to stir up disputes. Now that Jiang Xi had revealed her ambitions in front of the world, he was excited. “We will wait, we will wait for that day!”
The emperor clenched his fists, took the heirloom seal from the eunuch behind him, and solemnly handed it to Jiang Xi. The moment the heirloom seal was in Jiang Xi’s hand, the white snow reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye. The dark clouds in the sky seemed to have dispersed all of a sudden, revealing the piercing sunlight.
“This heavens… really treat different people differently.” The emperor’s expression was extremely ugly. Was this God a lackey? The snow stopped the moment he handed over the heirloom!
The imperial preceptor supported Jiang Xi as they walked towards the throne. Jiang Xi’s thin shoulders carried the hopes of the entire country. The imperial astronomer looked at the time and the auspicious time had arrived. He led the officials and shouted, “The empress shall ascend the throne, please kowtow!”
All of the officials knelt down in unison, their knees straight. “Long live our empress! May our country’s five grains be bountiful, and our people have enough food and clothing!”
There were countless people kneeling inside and outside Jing City. The sounds of them kowtowing made people’s hearts tremble, and even gave them layer after layer of goosebumps.
“Rise!” Jiang Xi raised her right hand.
