Chapter 227 The Empress and Her Husband
Chapter 227 The Empress and Her Husband
The first generation of empress in the beginning of the Great Wilderness is about to appear. The whole Haoling is celebrating because they know that Princess Xiaoliu is actually Princess Haoling in disguise. A monarch who is dedicated to serving the people and the country is worthy of their support. In the past two hundred years, Haoling has developed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and has not let go of any remote place. All children can go to school, have enough food to eat, wear nice clothes, live in warm and sturdy houses, and even the homeless are well cared for.
These were all the contributions made by Princess Xiaoliu, her teacher Yan Mo, Chen Rong's military advisor Xiang Liu (oh, I heard he changed his name to Xiang Yao), and General Rushou, Princess Haoling and Qingyan. They deserve the people's love! Therefore, when this news broke, the entire country of Haoling celebrated, without a single voice of opposition. Even if the major clans expressed dissatisfaction, they dared not speak out. Their dissatisfaction wasn't about Xiaoyao's work, but simply because Xiaoyao was a woman. How could a woman hold power? And as the ruler of a country!
It is said that the people do not fight against the officials, but when all public opinions are consistent, the officials have to shrink back and act like turtles.
The power of Princess Haoling is obvious to all. This past month, news broke that Prince Xiangyao had led 200,000 demon soldiers into Haoling. Strangely, Haoling's original army actually engaged the demon soldiers without conflict, even hugging each other as soon as they arrived, or exchanging punches and palms in unusually affectionate exchanges. Alternatively, they'd set up a fighting ring, creating a truly lively scene.
Who dared to speak? Everyone knew the terrifying power of Military Advisor Chen Rong. I heard they were already married, so this was just a temporary solution. After all, the prince's husband needed a name.
The soldiers and commanders of the Haoling Army all looked at Xiang Yao with admiration. They had witnessed his terrifying power during their training trips to the islands. On several occasions, they even requested to set up battle formations against Xiang Yao. Even with a massive formation of ten thousand men, these commanders and soldiers were completely crushed to the ground, with none able to rise. They didn't complain, only worshipping and respecting him even more deeply. Some even clamored to see Xiang Yao's true form. Xiang Yao couldn't refuse the offer, so he went to the sea and, for the first time, revealed his true form in public. The looks they gave him were no longer filled with disdain, and he suddenly felt the urge to burst into tears. Even though he usually acted indifferent, in that moment, he was deeply moved.
In this vast wilderness, the prejudice of the gods against the demons was like a mountain that could never be broken. But Xiaoyao did it, for him and for the millions of demons living in darkness.
Today, the whole world celebrates! Haoling Jiuyao has been crowned emperor, bearing the title Yaohua Imperial Princess. The country's name remains Haoling. Yaohua Imperial Princess is committed to the equality of humans, gods, and demons, creating wealth together, and prioritizing the people. Sharing a prosperous and flourishing world.
(I really don’t understand these messed up titles, so I’ll just read on〒_〒)
Hong Jiang stood in front of the crowd, his eyes closely following the two figures walking up slowly. He felt relieved. After so many years of hard work, this day finally came.
Xiang Yao, dressed in a white gown, held Xiao Yao's hand tenderly and considerately, his steps somewhat strained by the imperial attire. Xiao Yao glanced at Xiang Yao with a smile, then raised her head to gaze suspiciously at King Hao Ling, who was watching them with a gratified smile from the dais. At this moment, she'd expected to be overwhelmed with emotion, but unexpectedly, she felt a profound calm. As soon as she stepped onto the dais, she became more than just herself, Xiang Yao's wife, but the spiritual foundation of the Hao Ling people, their support and backbone.
"Are you ready?"
King Hao Ling held the imperial jade crown in his hand and asked softly. Xiao Yao bowed respectfully and then knelt straight up, staring at King Hao Ling firmly, with an unquestionable tone.
"This was prepared three hundred years ago! If Jiuyao does anything wrong, she will be severely punished. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people. I hope my father will supervise this."
"Okay, my father believes that you are a wise ruler. We will seek common ground while reserving differences, and work together with Xiang Yao to create a new era."
King Hao Ling put the imperial jade crown on Xiao Yao and looked at Xiang Yao who was also kneeling silently beside him. His expression was a little strange.
"Ayao, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position..."
"No grievance, Xiang Yao is willing. Father, rest assured, I will protect Xiaoyao. She governs the country, and I will defend it."
"Good, good, good!"
King Hao Ling said "good" three times in a row, feeling even more satisfied with Xiang Yao. He picked up the jade crown that had been prepared on the side and gently put it on him.
In order to make it easier for others to distinguish the two of them, Xiang Yao had never worn a jade crown before, but now he finally put it on.
Shaohao helped the two of them up with satisfaction, and announced to the people below that he would abdicate and let Xiaoyao do better than him, his father. He hoped that in the future, everyone would work together to make Haoling better and better.
"We have met Princess Yaohua. Long live the Princess."
"My dear ministers, please stand up. Today is the day I ascend the throne. I know that since ancient times, most emperors have been men. Some people may not accept this, but I want to tell you today that women can also fight on the battlefield and save the country and the people. We should not define a person's ability and goodness and evil based on gender and race. I am making this clear today. Under my rule, as long as you have ability and are dedicated to doing good, you will be given important positions. Humans do not need to feel inferior, gods should not be superior, and demons should also be treated equally. My husband, , will lead 200,000 demon soldiers to jointly govern Hao Ling and manage the demon race. If there are any criminals, they will also be severely punished. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the demon race suddenly attacking and hurting people. Of course, the gods cannot take the initiative to harm the demon race! I, Hao Ling, will never have casinos, death arenas, or human slavery. Once discovered, they will be killed without mercy! As for my newly established national laws, they will be compiled into a book and will be disseminated throughout the country soon. I hope you all memorize them! Today is also a happy day for me and the king's wife, so I won't spoil your fun. I wish you a happy meal. "
Someone said, "Congratulations to the princess on her new life. May she give birth to a heir soon."
"Don't worry, don't worry, the baby has already been born."
Sui Sui's voice sounded unexpectedly, and everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Next, each family took turns to come forward to congratulate the new princess. People came from Haoling, Central Plains, and Xiyan. The leader of the Guifang clan, Guifang Yanqing, also came with a big fat boy in his arms. As early as thirty years ago, Guifang Yanqing and Yiying got married and gave birth to a boy soon after. However, Yiying asked for the surname Fangfeng for the first child, so he was named Fangfeng Di.
The gifts sent by the Guifang tribe were unexpectedly numerous and valuable, which made people look up to Princess Yaohua even more. It was said that the Guifang tribe was good at calculations. When the Black Emperor ascended the throne, the Guifang tribe did not make any big gesture and only sent an envoy. But now the Guifang tribe leader came in person, and seeing that they were having a very pleasant conversation, it was known that they had a close relationship. Things were about to change!
Xiyan sent Yinglong, who just gave a gift and then left.
"Aunt is so handsome."
Xiangze and Yueran stared at Xiaoyao on the stage with stars in their eyes. Yan Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, holding Xiangliu, who was dressed in ghost costume, and leaning gently in his arms. Life is long, and with him, I am never alone.
"When this is all over, let's travel around the world!"
"it is good!"
"Mom, I want to go too!"
"it is good!"
In a corner of the palace, Xuan Xuan, covered completely with a cloak, had been standing there motionless for several hours.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go back."
"Yujiang, you are Xiaoyao's man, right? And there is the demon clan secret guard who has always been by my side."
Yujiang knelt down hurriedly, his heart filled with guilt.
"Your Majesty, I did promise the princess to be her secret agent, but she never asked me to do anything. She only asked..."
"What are you asking for?"
Xuanxuan's heart felt like it was blocked by a cork, stuck there, unable to move in or out, and the pain was unbearable. He really wanted to know how much Xiaoyao hated him.
"I request that in the final battle, the person Your Majesty thinks you trust the most betray you. The princess said that if I do this, she can spare Chishuixian's life. Your Majesty, I cannot bear to see Ah Xian die. The princess is too terrifying..."
Long silence
"Yujiang... In this final battle, you knock Chishuixian unconscious and take her away... I owe her, and I will pay her back..."
