Chapter 422: Enthronement_1

The first day of the New Year came in the blink of an eye.

First thing in the morning, four Palace carriages arrived, carrying two officers from Zhongshu Province, several Palace Maids holding gift boxes, a few eunuchs carrying ceremonial objects, as well as a group of guards on horseback.

They arrived at the gate of the Jiang Family house, calling out loudly: "A royal decree from His Majesty!"

The gatekeeper boy was startled and rushed into the backyard to announce the news.

Xu Chunniang and her daughter had gotten up early, dressed in new clothes, and were preparing breakfast when they were startled by the boy's announcement. They immediately called their two sons and Jiang Quan's Huzi to the door to receive the imperial decree.

A group of people was welcomed into the main hall to read the imperial edict, and the whole family prepared a ceremonial table, properly dressed and kneeling to listen to it.
