Chapter 1260: Chapter 1260: Ancestral Sacrifice at the Ancestral Temple, Eve of Siblings’ Reunion

His Majesty suddenly conferred the title of Empress, hastily arranging the coronation ceremony.

The civil and military officials did not understand the reason, but no one else stood up to obstruct it.

The Prime Minister, having proposed to bestow the title of Empress to General Su’s daughter Su Guifei, is now detained at home by His Majesty, and it’s uncertain whether he can return to the court in the future.

Everyone knew the Emperor had made up his mind, and the State Preceptor had once plainly stated that a girl of unknown origin should be crowned Empress.

From the Royal Family officials in the Daqian court to the millions of common people, all held deep-seated belief in the State Preceptor.

With the Emperor of Daqian and the State Preceptor standing on the same front, what reason did they have to oppose?

The weather this day was fine, with clear skies, just-right sunshine, and a gentle breeze.

The Emperor of Daqian stood atop a flight of one hundred steps, while the civil and military officials knelt on the ground below.

Eunuch Anjin, standing beside Xiao Jun’an, once again proclaimed the intent to crown the Empress.

His voice was soft yet firm, clear enough for the officials below to hear distinctly.

The ceremonial music resounded.

Dressed in the Phoenix Robe and wearing the phoenix crown, Huo Yuning made a resplendent appearance before the crowd.

She stood below the hundred steps, looking up at the ruler in the Dragon Robe standing in high position.

Huo Yuning took steps towards the high seat with steadiness, each step betraying an eager undercurrent.

Upon standing before Xiao Jun’an, he reached out his hand: "Empress—"

This time Huo Yuning did not resist.

Hand in hand, the two proceeded to the Ancestral Temple amidst the overwhelming support of the civil and military officials.

Sitting in the imperial palanquin, Huo Yuning was whispering secrets with the imposing and domineering Emperor of Daqian.

"How well-prepared are our arrangements at the Ancestral Temple?"

Xiao Jun’an, looking ahead, replied gently: "I have ordered Commander Mu to station ten thousand imperial troops for protection."

What he did not say was that to avoid unforeseen events, today’s city gates were tightly shut, the citizens were not freely coming and going, and nearly one hundred Imperial Guards were arranged around the Ancestral Temple.

As the Ancestral Temple drew near, Huo Yuning’s heartbeat began to quicken.

She licked her lips and asked again: "What about the carriage transporting the weapons? Is it ready?"

Perhaps sensing her nervousness, Xiao Jun’an looked sidelong at the person beside him.

Huo Yuning was very beautiful, strikingly so, and even the solemn Phoenix Robe could not suppress her inherent charm.

Xiao Jun’an raised his hand to gently pat the back of Huo Yuning’s hand resting on her knee, soothingly replied: "Everything has been properly arranged, Empress. Be at peace."

Huo Yuning paid no heed to his small gestures, her voice cold and brisk: "Let’s make it clear that I’m not sure I can break the barrier today. If I can’t, you can’t blame me.

If the barrier does indeed break, my Huo Family will be the first to prepare superior weapons, and you must quickly arrange for the weapons to be transported to the Northern Frontier as soon as possible."

Even with full confidence, she needed to make her stance clear beforehand.

Huo Yuning wanted to go home.

To return to her modern social circle.

If possible, to take advantage of the barrier opening to leave this primitive era.

That is, provided her brothers could withstand the pressure from their mother, and that the opening barrier would not go against this world’s destiny, preventing her departure.

Huo Yuning did not believe that being kicked into this era by her mother would mean she could leave easily.

The Ancestral Temple arrived.

The Emperor and Empress ascended the steps hand in hand.

Only members of the Royal Family could enter the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifice, and Xiao Jun’an, with Huo Yuning and the following royal kin, entered the hall to kneel and worship.

Xiao Jun’an and Huo Yuning were the first to rise, receiving the incense from the Palace Attendant beside them, and stepped forward to place it in the incense burner.

The two stood before the ancestral line of the Royal Family, exchanging glances that flashed with a depth of understanding between them.
