Qiao Xuan couldn't help but laugh. She glanced at Ding Xiang and said, "Don't tease me! Remember to stay with me today."
Ding Xiang smiled warmly. "I'm not joking—it's the truth! Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll be here with you."
The capital takeover had gone very smoothly the previous day. Everyone who needed to be informed had been, and those who needed to be controlled were in place.
However, just to be safe, few concubines were allowed into the palace to offer their congratulations today—only those of second rank and above were permitted.
Women continued to enter the palace, lining up according to their ranks in the square in front of Kunning Palace.
As Shao Yunduan took the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the cheers echoed to Qianqing Palace.
Qiao Xuan looked up at the palace before her. Under the blue sky, the golden glazed tiles sparkled in the sunlight, adding to the grandeur and solemnity of the occasion.
