Jiang Zhimiao looked at Empress Dowager, who was numb on the bed, and said with a worried look, "Mother, the imperial physician said that your body is almost recovered. But I see that your complexion does not seem to be good. So, I will tell the Emperor that the enthronement ceremony will be postponed for two more days, and I will continue to serve here. As long asmother is not well, I will not leave!"

"And Lady Lin, Lady Lin has taken good care of mother these days. She will continue to serve mother in the future. Mother, do you feel fine?"

Empress Dowager didn't have time to say anything.

Lin Qingqing said with horror, "No, no, no, Empress Dowager's body is completely recovered, there is no problem at all. Now her complexion is not good, just because she has been lying for too long, as long as she gets up and walks around, she will recover!"

She had been tortured so much that she had not closed her eyes until now. Now she could even fall asleep while standing!

If she served for a few more days, she would die on the spot!

Lin Qingqing responded so quickly that Empress Dowager couldn't help but glare at her.

But these days, not to mention Lin Qingqing, she was also tormented around.

Anyway, the Emperor was determined to confer the title of princess, so what difference would it make even if it was delayed for a few days?

Empress Dowager gritted her teeth and said slowly, "Indeed. Is my illness almost cured?"

"Really cured?" Jiang Zhimiao was very worried, "Mother, please don't force yourself to do this just because you think I'm too tired. I'm still young, I'm not tired."

Empress Dowager squeezed out a word from her teeth, "It's really cured."

"That's good." Jiang Zhimiao looked relieved, "Then I think mother can personally watch the ceremony of conferring the princess today. The second princess must be very happy to see Empress Dowager coming."

Want her to attend the ceremony in person?

Empress Dowager's expression changed.

If she was present at such an occasion, wouldn't it be announcing to the world that she agreed with the Emperor and the second princess's nonsense?

"My body hasn't recovered yet, so I won't attend the ceremony..." Empress Dowager declined subconsciously.

"Is mother's body not recovered yet?" Jiang Zhimiao was immediately worried, "Then why were you being so polite before! Let's postpone the enthronement ceremony. I will serve you for a few more days."

Jiang Zhimiao looked eager and expectant.

Empress Dowager's teeth were chattering.

Serving the sick had always been a hard job, and being tortured to death like Lin Qingqing was the norm.

What about Jiang Zhimiao?

She was the type who had a rosy complexion, ate and slept well, and then tortured others to death.

Serving for a few more days?

She wanted to live a few more years!

"No need." Empress Dowager gritted her teeth, "I just felt it again, and my body should be almost recovered. I will attend the ceremony of enthroning."

After a few days, Empress Dowager understood a little bit.

The Emperor and the Empress were one, and Jiang Zhimiao's meaning was, to a large extent, the Emperor's.

Now Yue Lin was no longer something she could control.

It's useless to pretend to be sick.

The Imperial Observatory was useless.

This enthronement was inevitable.

It didn't matter whether she came out or not.

This was the fact.

Empress Dowager pretended to be sick and even asked the Imperial Observatory to leave.

But, the preparations for the princess' enthronement ceremony have never stopped.

On this day, the door of the Hall of Supreme Being was wide open.

Yue Lin sat in the main seat, Empress Dowager sat on the left, and the Empress sat on the right.

Outside the hall, the palace maids and eunuchs served on both sides.

Further away, there were members of the royal family.

Then came the officials of various ranks.

The fourth prince Yue Chen stood in the crowd, looking at his sister in auspicious clothes with a complicated look.

He knew his mother's thoughts.

His mother wanted to use his sister's marriage to please Yue Hua. She kept saying that she did this for his future.

But Yue Chen never understood.

Why did she want to please Yue Hua for his future?

Yue Lin had already ascended the throne. No matter how favored Yue Hua was, he was just a prince. In terms of rank, he and Yue Hua were the same, both princes of the current dynasty.

Why did he need to use his sister's marriage to please Yue Hua?

He also asked Concubine You.

Concubine You just kept saying that only by joining forces with Yue Hua was his only way out.

When asked why, Concubine You did not answer, but just repeatedly said that she would never harm them.

Yue Mian marrying Zhang Ziping was a good thing for herself and for her brother.

But was that really the case?

His sister was not married to Zhang Ziping now. She was the proud Princess of Yong Dynasty, the only princess who could have a title without getting married.

Originally, there were some strange rumors in the market.

They say that Zhang Ziping was innocent, he didn't want to marry the princess, but Yue Mian fell in love with him at first sight and insisted on marrying him, and would rather share a husband with a brothel girl for this.

Such rumors were simply absurd, completely trampling on the princess's face.

After Yue Chen left the palace and set up his own house, he didn't have many opportunities to meet Yue Mian. It was not necessarily true that their brother-sister relationship was so deep.

But this was his biological sister after all!

The current emperor could stand up for Yue Mian without hesitation.

As a brother, he just did nothing?

While suppressing the rumors, Yue Chen explored the identity of the rumor spreader.

As he investigated, he found the Zhang family.

As they searched, they found the An He Palace.

Yue Chen was furious.

His biological sister, the second princess of the Great Yong Dynasty, was almost married to a b*stard like Zhang Ziping.

Now she had finally escaped from the sea of suffering.

These people want to tarnish Yue Mian's reputation.

Fortunately—

Soon the news spread in the palace.

Yue Mian was about to be canonized as Princess An Le. As soon as the news came out, everyone knew that Yue Mian was deeply favored by the Emperor.

Just ask, if she was really willing to be humble as the rumors said, how could the current Emperor value her so much?!
