Daming: I am the Crown Prince

On the 14th day of the 11th lunar month in the 30th year of Hongwu, the imperial city of Yingtianfu was bustling with activity, as many people were preparing for some major events.

Xu Miaojin hurriedly checked the list handed over by the female official and said, "Just do it according to these. You go and watch it in person. Make sure you don't lose etiquette."

The female official immediately obeyed the order. She was Xu Miaojin's maid who came with her dowry, and also her confidant. Naturally, some things could be assigned to her.

Xu Miaojin then asked with concern, "Have the imperial physician and midwife come?"

The female official immediately replied, "Your Highness, everything has been arranged."

"Be sure to take good care of him." Xu Miaojin said seriously, "Royal blood is important, and it should be taken even more so at this time."

As the Crown Prince's Consort, Xu Miaojin naturally knew the priorities. When a concubine was pregnant, she, as the Crown Prince's Consort, had to comfort her when she should, and take care of her when she should.

After the child was born, even if she might not be really loved, she still needed to be loved when it was necessary, simply because she was the Crown Grand Consort and the legitimate mother of all Zhu Yunhuan's children.

The female official naturally understood this truth. This was the requirement for women in today's era, and the mistress of the house should also have such magnanimity.

As they were talking, Zhu Yunhuan, the crown prince, hurried to Chunhe Palace and said, "Miao Jin, please have someone tell the eldest and second aunts to go to the palace earlier during the celebration tomorrow."

Xu Miaojin asked hurriedly, "Your Highness, how can you ascend the throne earlier? These are all rules, how can you change them without authorization?"

There is definitely nothing wrong with this statement. Ascending the throne to the throne is not something that can be done whenever you want. There are "auspicious days" and strict etiquette requirements.

Only after Zhu Yunhuan sat in the palace and accepted the congratulations of all officials, could Xu Miaojin go up to the palace to accept the worship of the ladies of honor. This was not something she could decide.

Zhu Yunhuan also understood what Xu Miaojin meant and said, "According to etiquette, you have to wait until the afternoon at the earliest."

"It's afternoon, how can we miss the courtesy?" Xu Miaojin said with a smile, "Your Highness is just worried about Grandmother's health. I have also thought about these things."

Seeing Zhu Yunhuan nod, Xu Miaojin continued, "It's true that grandma is ill, but she can rest in advance. When the emperor goes to the palace, let grandma wait. We must not let the old lady get tired."

"Okay, then let the second and third aunts accompany grandma." Zhu Yunxun said with a smile, "Tomorrow you should also be more lenient. After all, they are all women, how can they force themselves to hold on?"

Xu Miaojin said quickly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I have already told the ladies and servants that the rules of the inner court will not be too strict tomorrow. After all, we are not in the court, and we don't need to observe the ceremony, so the rules will naturally be relaxed."

There is definitely no big problem with this statement. There are still some differences between inside and outside. Of course, it also depends on who is doing these things.

If there are some important ceremonies in the court, the rules will naturally be extremely strict, or the standards will be exceptionally high, and no one dares to be negligent in these matters.

Otherwise, if you are guilty of disrespect, it will be too late to regret it. Therefore, you must strictly control your words and actions and cannot let others find any fault with you.

It is actually the same for the ladies of high rank. If they are strictly required to do so, their words and deeds will also be strictly regulated, and they cannot be disrespectful in any way, otherwise they will inevitably be punished.

However, it is obvious that Zhu Yunhuan and Xu Miaojin have no intention of being serious about these things, so they should be more tolerant when necessary, and there is nothing wrong with that.

After all, this is in the inner court, and many things happen behind closed doors. This is not in the court, so not so many people can see it.

Xu Miaojin was still a little worried, or even very concerned, "Your Highness, you haven't gone to see it yet? I always feel that there are some things that Your Highness should go and see."

Zhu Yunhuan understood what Xu Miaojin meant and said, "It's not like I have to put on the dragon robe and go to rehearse, right? It doesn't matter if I don't go. The ceremonial officers and others will know what's going on. I just need to go there when the time comes."

There really is nothing wrong with this. Things like the coronation ceremony naturally have strict regulations. Every word, action, and every procedure has strict standards and requirements.

It is obviously impossible to perform freely, and there is no need for Zhu Yunhuan, the crown prince, to rehearse in advance because there are people who care more about details than him.

Xu Miaojin thought about it and it made sense. She said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Highness. I am a woman after all, and my knowledge is still a little short-sighted."

"You are just too worried. It would be a lie to say that I am not worried." Zhu Yunhuan said with a smile, "Be it Zhang Fusheng or that fake monk Daoyan, they have been keeping an eye on what is happening over there these days."

This is what Zhu Yunhuan said honestly. It seems that sometimes he doesn't care much about the preparations for the coronation ceremony, but this does not mean that he really doesn't care about anything. He cares about many things.

Zhu Yunhuan said with emotion, "It has only been a few years, and I have gone from being the infamous third grandson of the emperor to the Chengkang Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Xu Miaojin didn't know what to say, because she was a little confused about some things, and some things developed too fast and were completely beyond anyone's expectations.

Xu Miaojin had naturally heard of Zhu Yunhuan's reputation before. He was the most incompetent among the emperor's grandsons, and no one thought he had a chance to inherit the throne.

But now, not only is he going to inherit the throne, but as his partner, Xu Miaojin also feels that her husband must have been framed in the early years, which is why he has been carrying a bad reputation for more than ten years. It makes her angry just thinking about it.

The female official whispered at this time, "Your Highness, in half an hour, Your Highness the Crown Grand Consort will go to see Your Highness the Crown Princess."

Zhu Yunxun immediately smiled and looked at Xu Miaojin, "Why are we going over there at this time? I guess she doesn't want to see us anymore. It seems a bit stingy!"

"Your Highness, you are joking. Tomorrow is such a big event, so of course we have to go there." Xu Miaojin said, "No matter what, we should be polite, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to my father and mother."

That's true. Even if Zhu Yunhuan and Xu Miaojin no longer had any good feelings towards Princess Lu, they still had to give her some superficial respect for the sake of the deceased Zhu Biao.

For example, when Zhu Yunhuan ascended the throne, he would immediately confer the title of Emperor on Zhu Biao and the title of Empress on Crown Princess Chang. As for the living Crown Princess Lü, who was also Zhu Biao's second wife, she would definitely be promoted to Empress Dowager.

Even if she is just a queen mother in name only, she still needs to act in the coronation ceremony tomorrow. As a royal family, sometimes you can't just think about "revenge", but also think about being a role model for the world. This is also part of politics. A qualified politician is naturally a good actor. When it's time to act, you must act.

Zhu Yunhuan said jokingly, "Tomorrow she will be the empress dowager, and I will make you the queen. That means Wen Yao will go from being the great-grandson of the emperor to the eldest son of the emperor, and he won't even be able to be the crown prince."

Xu Miaojin was not worried at all and said with a smile, "Wen Yao doesn't care about those things. He just wants to play now. It's just that the brothers and sisters can be sealed later, but the affairs of the uncles and aunts cannot be delayed."

Zhu Wenyao would definitely not be made the crown prince immediately. After all, he was too young, just over one year old. How could we rush to make him the crown prince?

But this would not affect his status. Everyone knew that he was Zhu Yunhuan's eldest son and was raised personally by Emperor Hongwu. No one could threaten his status.

"The aunts will naturally become the Grand Princesses, and these things will not be done tomorrow." Zhu Yunhuan said with a smile, "Tomorrow will be your and my status, the status of our parents, and everyone else will have to put it aside."

After hearing what Zhu Yunhuan said, Xu Miaojin said after careful consideration, "Your Highness, I can wait until the day after tomorrow to be conferred the title. Tomorrow is your highness's big day."

There is nothing wrong with that. No one stipulates that the emperor must appoint a queen immediately after ascending the throne. Even if the crown prince has a wife when he ascends the throne, he can wait for a while, or even a long time, before appointing a queen.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled and said, "There is no room for discussion on this matter. Tomorrow, when I ascend the throne and offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, I will naturally make you the queen. This is what my grandfather did when he ascended the throne, and I should do the same."

This is the Zhu family's style of doing things. Once the man in charge climbs up a step, he immediately and eagerly lets his wife and son follow suit.

There is naturally no problem with this. There is no need to drag on some things, and there is no need to leave some positions empty and watch others fight for them with all their might.

Only the main wife can sit in the position of queen, so naturally other people cannot give them any room for imagination, not even the slightest bit of extra thoughts.

Zhu Yunhuan really had no intention of dragging things out. Not to mention that he and Xu Miaojin had a very good relationship, no one was more suitable to be the queen than her.

The Ming Dynasty really needed a queen mother, which was in line with Zhu Yunhuan's interests. Moreover, this would be of great help to the future of the Ming Dynasty, not only considering Zhu Wenyao's status, etc.

Xu Miaojin thought about it carefully, and suggested to Zhu Yunhuan, "Your Highness, even if you appoint me as your concubine tomorrow, it would not be good to bypass my aunts and sisters."

"You are the king, and they are the subjects." Zhu Yunhuan looked at Xu Miaojin and said seriously, "You should understand these principles. Born in a family like this, there are some things that we cannot decide. When the aunts see me, they can only be subjects."

Xu Miaojin didn't know what to say now, because emotionally this seemed a bit cold. But rationally speaking, there was definitely nothing wrong with doing this.

Zhu Yunxun said with some depression, "You can still talk to me now, but it's hard to say about other people. In the early years, my aunt and sister began to look at my face. I believe you also know this, right?"

Xu Miaojin did not hide it, "Your Highness is right. In the past few years, my aunt and sister have often watched your face."

What can be done about it, because Zhu Yunhuan is the crown prince, he is the monarch. So even if the relationship is good in private, you still have to look at his face, the identity of monarch and minister is here.

Zhu Yunxun sighed and said, "Ordinary families are more or less the same. If their children are successful, their parents will pay more attention to them. If they become wealthy, their relatives will try to please them when they see them."

Although this statement was somewhat sweeping and extreme, Xu Miaojin knew that there was nothing wrong with saying it. This was the actual situation and she could empathize with him.

Back then in the Duke of Wei's Mansion, her brothers and sisters-in-law treated her very well, but when she was chosen as the Crown Prince's Consort, everything changed. The whole family became extremely attentive to her, and family affection seemed to have begun to change.

For Zhu Yunhuan, there is a high probability that he will become a "lonely man" in the future, there is no doubt about it.

Even though he and Lao Zhu seem to be very close now, most of the time, he would carefully pay attention to Lao Zhu's expression and try to figure out some of Lao Zhu's intentions.

It is true that Zhu Yunhuan and Xu Miaojin have a good relationship, but sometimes he will not think too much about what his partner is thinking. Xu Miaojin, on the other hand, will seriously think about Zhu Yunhuan's thoughts.

Ultimately it comes down to status. Once he becomes emperor, everyone will consider his thoughts.

This is actually quite good. It is better to try to figure out what other people are thinking, which makes things a lot easier.

After talking with Xu Miaojin for a while, everyone naturally went back to their own business. No one could be idle now, so they all worked overtime to get things done.

Although Zhu Yunhuan said that there was no need for rehearsal, he still had to ask about every detail, especially some ceremonial matters, which some officials also explained in detail.

All officials need to be careful about their words and actions, and Zhu Yunhuan is actually the same, and cannot make any mistakes. Even if the requirements for him are not high, if there are any shortcomings, it will be a big joke.

Zhu Yunhuan obviously could not accept such a situation, so he had to be careful at this time.

Looking at Zhang Fusheng who was following him, Zhu Yunhuan asked, "Are all the princes of the royal family ready?"

Zhang Fusheng quickly replied, "Your Highness, all the princes are ready. We have sent people to ask, and the Ministry of Rites has also sent people over. All the princes are aware of the etiquette."

Zhu Yunhuan nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Send someone to tell Gao Chi and the others that they will enter Yingtian Prefecture the day after tomorrow."

The coronation ceremony was not a one-day event, although in the eyes of some people it was just a one-day event. The formal ceremony was only the ascension to the throne and the acceptance of the worship of the officials. The subsequent offerings to heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, etc. were all secondary.

Zhu Yunhuan was naturally very satisfied with the progress of some things, and it seemed that everyone was making full preparations.

This is naturally the best thing. His Grace Enthronement Ceremony does not necessarily have to be the most grand and perfect, but one thing is certain, that is, there must be no faults to be found! (End of this chapter)
