Chapter 751 Ascension to the throne

"Princess, the auspicious time has come. Please come." Jiang Yun, the Minister of Rites of Nanping State, said respectfully behind Wu Ya.

Today is the day when the new emperor of Nanping State ascends the throne. All arrangements have been made. All the ministers in the imperial capital have also arrived. Now, everyone is just waiting for today's protagonist Wu Ya to appear.

Wu Ya did not stand up immediately after hearing Jiang Yun's urging. Instead, she frowned slightly and asked Luo Yue beside her: "Has he not come back yet?"

"No." Luo Yue shook her head.

Luo Yue knew that the "he" in Wu Ya's mouth was Wu Fan. From morning till now, Wu Ya had asked her this question more than once. Obviously, Wu Ya was looking forward to Wu Fan coming back to attend her coronation ceremony. After all, today was definitely the most important day in Wu Ya's life, and she didn't want Wu Fan to be absent.

Unfortunately, Wu Fan never showed up, which made Wu Ya very disappointed.

Wu Ya herself did not want to sit on the throne. She was willing to ascend the throne for the sake of Nanping State. She did not want to see Nanping State fall into civil strife and be annexed by neighboring countries.

Another reason was that this was what Wu Fan wanted her to do. She did not want to disappoint Wu Fan, so she sat on this position. It was precisely because this matter had a lot to do with Wu Fan that she wanted Wu Fan to be present when she ascended the throne.

However, now it seems that this wish is going to be in vain.

"He should be fine." Wu Ya whispered to herself.

She knew that Wu Fan had gone to Tianshan Mountain and knew how dangerous Tianshan Mountain was. Therefore, she was a little worried when she saw that Wu Fan promised to come back to attend her coronation ceremony but did not show up in time.

"Your Highness, the auspicious time has arrived. It's time to set off." Seeing that Wu Ya had no intention of getting up, Jiang Yun could not help but urge her again.

"Well." Wu Ya nodded and then slowly got up.

After all, ascending the throne is a big event. In order to hold this ceremony, Nanping State has spent a lot of manpower and material resources, so it naturally cannot be delayed. Moreover, this ceremony is watched by all officials and civilians in Nanping State. Although Wu Ya really wants to ascend the throne and become emperor under the witness of Wu Fan, Wu Fan cannot appear in time, so she can't postpone the ceremony and can only keep the regret in her heart.

Although Wu Fan is an important reason why she decided to become the emperor of Nanping State, now that she has reached this position, she has to be responsible for the entire Nanping State, and can't just consider her personal feelings.

"Princess, get up!" Seeing Wu Ya get up, Jiang Yun shouted hurriedly.

When Wu Ya walked out of her bedroom surrounded by people, there was already a guard of honor waiting outside. Wu Ya, with the help of the palace maids, sat on the phoenix sedan chair, and then the guard of honor slowly moved towards the square in the palace, and Jiang Yun followed Wu Ya's phoenix sedan chair closely.

About ten minutes later, Wu Ya's guard of honor arrived at the square, and the officials around the square immediately knelt down.

Wu Ya got off the phoenix chariot, and stood on the high platform with the help of the palace maids.

"The coronation ceremony begins now!" The star official in charge of the ceremony said loudly.

Then, the star official began to sing the sacrificial text, and Wu Ya's coronation ceremony officially began.

Wu Ya looked at the kneeling civil and military officials under the stage with a solemn expression. She had been talking about Wu Fan before, and suddenly felt a wave of pressure in her heart.

From today on, she will be the emperor of Nanping. No matter what caused her to come to this point before, and no matter what she experienced in the process, the fact is that once the ceremony is completed, she will be the new emperor of Nanping. She needs to inherit the will of her ancestors, lead Nanping to move forward, and bring prosperity and peace to the people of Nanping.

When she felt the pressure, Wu Ya hoped that Wu Fan could be on the scene at this time to encourage her and boost her confidence.

Unfortunately, Wu Fan still did not show up.

The ceremony of the coronation ceremony was very complicated and lasted for several hours before it came to an end. If Wu Ya had not always had a good physical fitness, she would have doubted whether she would faint during the ceremony because of standing for too long.

"The ceremony is over!" At the end of the ceremony, the star official shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please take a seat!"

Wu Ya slowly turned around and came to the prepared dragon chair. She looked at the chair that represented the supreme power, and her face was slightly complicated.

Her fourth brother invited the wolf into the house just to sit on this chair, causing the royal family of Nanping to be almost wiped out. Now, this chair is in front of her. Perhaps, her father, her fourth brother, and even everyone in the royal family would not have thought that she would sit in this position.

After calming down a little, Wu Ya slowly sat down on the dragon chair.

"Long live my emperor!"

After Wu Ya sat down, everyone around the square knelt down on the steps and saluted her with respectful faces.

Nanping Kingdom has a new emperor since then, and is no longer leaderless.

No matter what the people at the scene think, now the dust has settled, Wu Ya has become the de facto emperor of Nanping Kingdom. If anyone has other ideas, it is treason, which is a serious crime.

"Everyone stand up." Wu Ya said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone present thanked in unison, and then slowly stood up.

Wu Ya looked at the crowd and was about to say a few words, but at this time, the soldiers at the gate of the palace wall shouted loudly.

"The Shuiyue Kingdom delegation has arrived!"

The Shuiyue Kingdom delegation?

Wu Ya frowned slightly, a hint of hatred flashed between her brows.

Wu Ya knew that Shuiyue Country had always kept people in Nanping Country, but she had decided to break away from Shuiyue Country before, and would not rely on Shuiyue Country like she was the fourth brother, so she had never thought of inviting people from Shuiyue Country to the coronation ceremony this time.

However, Wu Ya did not expect that people from Shuiyue Country would come uninvited. At this time, Wu Ya did not think that they would come with any good intentions.

However, since the people from Shuiyue Country had already come, Wu Ya could not drive them away. After all, the strength of Nanping Country was not as good as that of Shuiyue Country. Although she was prepared to rely on Yanfeng Country, the matter had not been settled. She was prepared to write a letter to the emperor of Nanping Country as the emperor of Nanping Country after ascending the throne. Therefore, this matter had not yet been accomplished. In this case, it was natural that she could not tear her face with Shuiyue Country.

Wu Ya was just about to let the people from Shuiyue Country in, but the soldier who had just shouted spoke again.

"The Yanfeng Kingdom delegation has arrived!"

People from the Yanfeng Kingdom are here too?

Wu Ya was greatly surprised. When the officials present heard that the two great powers had sent people, they were also surprised.
