Chu Yuxiao reached out with a smile and said, "Everyone, no need for formalities, please be seated."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Once everyone quietly sat down, Chu Yuxiao had Eunuch Wang read the imperial decree.
"By the grace of heaven, the Emperor decrees... Su's virtue and benevolence, deeply bonded with me... I hereby confer upon her the title of Empress Jinrong of the Great Nan Dynasty... By imperial command!"
Eunuch Wang's reading of the decree left everyone present stunned.
Su Yan widened her eyes in disbelief, hardly daring to believe that Chu Yuxiao had suddenly made her Empress.
The enthronement ceremony was to be held the day after tomorrow, yet she knew nothing about it.
Feeling somewhat touched, she was also angry that he hadn't given her a heads-up.
The surprise was too great; it was almost unbearable for her.
Although she knew he would eventually make her Empress, she hadn't expected it to be so soon, without any mental preparation.
