The Promotion Record of a Crown Princess

37-42: Getting A Promotion?

The 23rd of the seventh month in lunar calendar, I finally entered Sheng City. Unexpectedly, Qi Sheng maintained my pride and personally went to the Palace gate to welcome me.

I had an uneasy feeling, thinking that he would send the Greek gifts for me, which meant he wouldn't be nice me.

Qi Sheng looked me up and down for a while. Then he said lightly, "Go back to the Palace to rest first. After a few days, there will be the ceremony for conferring the Empress, which would tire you so much."

Although Qi Sheng had promised that he would make me the Empress, when such words really came out of his mouth, I was a little incredulous. The feeling was like when you had just offended your boss and you were ready to get packed, your boss suddenly told you that he would give you a raise or promotion.

Do you believe it? Could you dare believe it?

Anyway, I dare not believe, even if I wanted to believe, I would first slap my own face, for at least slapped me to awake!

Because I was not conferred yet, I still resided in the Eastern Palace, where Lv Li was waiting for me and cried hard when she saw me.

I was in no mood to comfort her, I just asked, "Are you all right?"

Lv Li rubbed her eyes and nodded.

I quickly replied, "Then rest yourself in somewhere else. I'll stay by myself and think about something."

Lv Li, hearing what I said, walked out and turned her head back in every three steps.

I closed the door and began to think about what Qi Sheng was going to do. Did he really want to keep his promise, or just to appease the Family Zhang holding military power?

The second day, one from the Family Zhang came to see me, until then did I have a general understanding of the Fuping incident.

On the 17th day of the sixth month in lunar calendar, the old Emperor died suddenly at his Palace. According to the official news, he suffered from a stroke caused by the heat. In fact, it was caused by the beauties offered by the foreign countries whose sexual power was too much for him. When the old Emperor threw himself totally into it, he made a heroic "sacrifice" on the battlefield of beauty.

Lin shi, the Empress dowager, played her cards well, before Her Majesty the Empress had any reaction, she blocked the Palace in time and only sent the message to Qi Sheng who was then still in the ship on Wan River.

After receiving the news, Qi Sheng immediately commanded Fuping navy to detain Chu wang, and rushed back to the Palace to preside over the big picture. After discussing with the Empress Dowager Lin shi, they decided not to release the obituary. Instead, they lied to the public that there was turmoil in Yun Xi and then ordered the imperial army to escort the Emperor and concubines back to Sheng City. At the same time, he quickly dispatched 50 thousands soldiers from the Jiangbei Central Army Camp to guard the capital city and its environs.

Bathroom Lord, trapped in his ship, could do nothing but to watch what happened.

Even if Zhao wang was in Sheng city, he was not well-informed, so when he knew it, Qi Sheng's army was already in place, fail to resist.

Therefore, with the support of the Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince Qi Sheng, backed by Fuping navy and Jiangbei Central Army Camp, finally managed to ascend the throne of the Emperor.

The Empress and the Empress Dowager were ascended to Empress Dowager and the grandma-Empress Dowager naturally. Now, I was the only one who left in the same position, waiting to be promoted the Empress.
