Chapter 409
The night before the enthronement ceremony, Yingyue and Siqi were still dragging Wang Yuetong to try on tomorrow's queen's court dress.

"Your Majesty, it took the palace people a month to make this overnight. Look at the materials and stitches. Tsk tsk, it is much more delicate than the imperial concubine's court dress!"

Siqi lightly stroked the pattern of birds and phoenixes on the court dress, admiring it endlessly.

In order to produce these clothes and headgear as soon as possible, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has spent a lot of effort, and even King Jing did not hesitate to ask about this matter.

"That's not true. Our concubine will be the empress of the Nangong Empire tomorrow, and her status will be different from the past. Thinking about it, if the emperor knows the news, he won't be so angry!"

"Okay, it's getting late, you two pack up these things, go back and rest quickly. You will be busy tomorrow."

Looking at the court dress crowns and gold and silver headgears weighing more than ten catties inside and outside, Wang Yuetong deeply felt that tomorrow would be a very exhausting day.

"Wangfei also hurry up and rest, I will take care of these things, Yingyue, you can change clothes for Wangfei."

Siqi still wants to look at these outfits again, touch this, rub that.

Seeing this, Wang Yuetong smiled helplessly. If possible, I really want Siqi to suffer instead of her tomorrow.

At this time, there were several knocks on the door outside.

"It's so late, who could it be?"

Yingyue, who was about to undress her, stopped and went over to ask.

"Who?"

"it's me."

The people outside said in a low voice.

"So it's the prince..."

Yingyue turned her head to look at her, Wang Yuetong tidied up her clothes neatly, and nodded slightly at her.

Opening the door, King Jing took a look inside.

Yingyue winked at Siqi, Siqi put down the clothes in her hand, followed Yingyue out.

"Why did your lord come so late?"

Tomorrow is his enthronement ceremony. As the next new king, he probably has to prepare much more than her queen.

Although they were not newlyweds, meeting each other on the eve of the enthronement ceremony was still not in accordance with the rules.

Coming here at this time, I am afraid that there is something important to discuss.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see you suddenly."

Seemingly seeing her thoughts, King Jing chuckled lightly, explaining his purpose of coming.

"Tomorrow morning is the enthronement ceremony, is the prince ready?"

"It's almost ready. How about your side?"

King Jing sat down and looked at the messy clothes on the table.

Shaking off the clothes, the patterns on them looked particularly bright.

"Have you tried on this dress?"

"I tried it, and it fits perfectly."

Suddenly, Wang Yuetong saw that the ornament hanging on his waist was actually the sachet she gave him that day.

A warm feeling rose in his heart for no reason. Since then, has he never taken it off?

"That's good. It's not in vain for me to find someone to supervise the work every now and then."

King Jing put down the clothes in his hands, naturally held Wang Yuetong's hand, and walked outside.

"Where is this going?"

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

King Jing turned around and looked at her, but he never stopped.

Walking outside the courtyard, the night wind blew rustlingly, King Jing went back to his room and took out his cloak, and put it on Wang Yuetong.

"It's been cold at night these days, remember to wear more when you go out."

Wang Yuetong lowered her head and smiled, if he hadn't brought her out to admire the moon on a sudden whim, she would have already slipped under the covers by now.

"Thank you, Lord, for your concern."

Hearing this, King Jing frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Now that things have happened, do you and I still need to be so polite?"

Wang Yuetong didn't speak, and looked up at the full moon in the sky.

"Look, my lord, the moon is full today. But if you take a closer look, you will find that it is also gapped."

Wang Yuetong's words seemed to imply something.

King Jing understood, she was talking about the relationship between the two of them.

"It seems that such a full moon will have some shortcomings, let alone people?"

Sure enough, Wang Yuetong sighed softly and looked away.

The relationship between her and King Jing is always put on a safe place.

There is affection for each other, but never overexpressed.

She thought, such a peaceful relationship is quite rare.

Such shallow feelings are suitable for the emperor's family.

"A person is a person, and a month is a month. They should not be confused. Yuetong, tomorrow is my enthronement ceremony and your canonization ceremony. Now that this is over, are you still unwilling to open your heart to me?"

On such a moonlit night, neither of them had a moment of peace in their hearts, and each was full of thoughts.

King Jing became even more irritable than ever before.

He had explained everything to her, but she hadn't completely trusted him yet.

But Wang Yuetong thought that what he said in front of the king that day was just to appease the king's emotions.

Once he takes the throne, this promise will become tenuous.

Since ancient times, there has been no emperor without the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, she is convinced of this.

Even if the love is as deep as respecting the king, it may not be able to resist it.

Not for women's sex, but also for the consolidation of imperial power.

"My lord, I can assure you that from now on, I will be a competent empress just like I was your concubine before."

"When it comes to being a competent queen, Princess Rongping may not be the best candidate."

Suddenly, King Jing mentioned Princess Rongping in a faint tone.

"It's too late for the prince to regret it now. There are less than four hours before the enthronement ceremony."

Wang Yuetong was slightly taken aback, lowering her eyes to hide all her emotions, her attitude was neither salty nor weak.

"But that's not the person in my heart, so no matter how well others do, it has nothing to do with me."

King Jing continued as if he didn't hear her proposal.

"The person in my heart... my lord, if you have always been so kind to me, I am afraid that I will not be able to become a competent queen in the future."

"What do you mean by that?"

From this, King Jing seems to have found the crux of her rejection of him.

"In another four hours, you will ascend the throne and become the new head of the Nangong Empire. With that, you will not only have the supreme glory, but also Yingyingyanyan who cannot be rejected."

"Even if it's not for yourself, you have to consider it for the country. It's a normal thing for courtiers' daughters to enter the palace. Doing so can not only win the hearts of courtiers, but also ensure the prosperity of their offspring."

Hearing Wang Yuetong's worries, King Jing sighed lightly, and gently attached his palm to the back of her hand.

"I made these things very clear in front of my uncle that day. No matter whether I am a commoner or a prince or lord, I will never favor anyone else except Wang Yuetong in this life."
