Chapter 184: Enthronement - The Gifts
Xing gave a victorious smile to her brother shaking his head at her knowing these tricks were all done by her somehow.
Oh, My dear Sister! What a way of self-preservation! You have managed to turn the hearts of an entire court towards you with over - exaggerated tricks! Now no one would bother to speak against you fearing the retribution of the Gods!
Xing thought all that’s needed for a comfortable, worry free life in the inner palace without having to bother her father each time,
have been met and she could leave this place that made her look down on everyone. She felt it to be extremely uncomfortable seeing her family and even the Oldman looking up on her. Also her body didn’t feel good either.
Being on a pedestal sucks!
" Isn’t this too much of a show?", the Emperor whispered so that only she can hear and she just shrugged,
"To have an easy life, nothing is too much"
Xing didn’t want to get comfortable in her role as the Empress but at the same time didn’t want to be unnecessarily suffering either. After all, she is supposed to help the kingdom somehow, so it is necessary for her to live in peace, right? Those old officials talking against her would bring her headaches... Not happening!
Shengli saw the reaction of everyone in the court and knew everyone will think twice before talking back at her or giving her a hard time.
Then the Emperor gave her the Phoenix Seal that is the authority she has as the Empress. Then a right red Cloak was brought that was the Emperor’s gift to her and everyone in the court gasped in surprise seeing a majestic golden Tiger embroidered in the cloak and not a phoenix or flowers as it would be gifted to women.
