Chapter 659 The Queen Ascends the Throne (Part 1)
January 3, 292 of the Britannia Empire.
Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Emperor's coronation ceremony.
In these three days, Su Cheng deeply experienced what "unexpected" meant.
Since Gozewen announced to everyone that Ilsa would be replaced as the new crown prince, he abdicated on January 3 and held the coronation ceremony of the new emperor, allowing Ilsa to ascend the throne and succeed as the 13th emperor of the Britannia Empire.
From the meeting two days ago to now, Su Cheng felt that his consciousness was a little trance.
He always wondered if he was dreaming.
Su Cheng was sure that there were many people who had the same feelings as him in these two days.
Everything happened too suddenly.
Everything happened too fast.
Gail was removed from his position as crown prince without any warning.
In 292, Ilsa, who was only 9 years old, was appointed as the new crown prince without any warning.
After the coronation ceremony that is about to begin, Ilsa will become the 13th emperor of the Britannia Empire and the new empress of the Britannia Empire.
At the meeting two days ago, Gozewen explained to everyone why he wanted to remove Gale from the position of crown prince.
However, he did not explain it in detail, but only vaguely stated that he felt that Gale was not suitable to be the head of a country, so he replaced the crown prince with Ilsa.
Gale and Ilsa, who were also present at the time, did not react excessively.
Gale had a blank expression from beginning to end.
And Ilsa lowered her head from beginning to end, making it difficult to see her expression.
Presumably, both of them should have known about this matter before and tacitly accepted this fact.
Su Cheng, who had arrived at the Emperor's Enthronement Ceremony early and was waiting for the ceremony to begin, looked up at the throne on the 9th level of the Imperial Steps in front of him, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear clearly:
"Ilsa... is she going to succeed to the throne... a 9-year-old young emperor..."
Even now that the ceremony is about to begin, Su Cheng still can't accept this fact.
Su Cheng took out his pocket watch and checked the time.
It is now 14:32 in the afternoon of January 3, 292 in the Imperial Calendar.
There are still 28 minutes before the start of the Enthronement Ceremony.
Because the year-end dinner of 291 happened to be held three days ago, there are still many nobles and important officials who are in the imperial capital and nearby.
At this time, the nobles and important officials near the imperial capital who are eligible to participate in the Emperor's Enthronement Ceremony have almost arrived.
The Emperor's Enthronement Ceremony was held in a hall in the Baiyang Palace.
The grand and majestic hall is mainly white and gold, solemn and majestic.
The long staircase under his feet stretched forward. On the left side of the staircase were the important officials of the empire, and on the right side were the nobles of the empire.
On the nine steps in the center of the hall was the throne that only the emperor was qualified to sit on.
In a moment, Ilsa would sit on this throne, put on the supreme crown, take over the imperial sword that symbolized the national military power, be crowned as the emperor, and become the new empress of the Britannia Empire.
Just as Su Cheng was silently waiting for the coronation ceremony to begin, a waiter suddenly came to his side secretly and whispered to him:
"Mr. Cheng, I am Mr. Jacob's man. Mr. Jacob has something to ask you."
"Mr. Jacob?" Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Okay, take me there quickly."
Although he didn't know what Jacob wanted to ask him at this critical moment when the coronation ceremony was about to begin, Su Cheng hurriedly followed the waiter and followed the waiter to find Jacob.
The waiter took Su Cheng out of the hall and turned around in Baiyang Palace.
The structure of Baiyang Palace was very complicated, and Su Cheng didn't know where he was in Baiyang Palace.
The waiter's footsteps were fast, so Su Cheng soon saw Jacob.
Jacob, who was dressed in a formal dress, was standing in front of a door with an ugly and anxious face.
"Mr. Jacob, what's wrong?" After coming to Jacob's side, Su Cheng immediately asked Jacob.
"Su Cheng, you are here." Mr. Jacob sighed lightly and said in a deep voice, "There is a big problem... Her Highness Elsa... is unwilling to leave the room and participate in the coronation ceremony. No matter how I persuade her or what methods I use, Elsa just refuses to go out."
After that, Jacob helplessly pointed his chin at the door in front of him.
—— So this is Elsa's room?
Su Cheng looked at the door in front of him in surprise: "Ilsa doesn't want to go out? Why?"
"...Because...Her Highness Elsa doesn't want to ascend the throne." After saying that, Jacob sighed again, "A few days ago, when Ge Zewen said that he would replace the crown prince with her, Her Highness Elsa started to make a fuss and said she didn't want to be the new emperor... At that time, after Ge Zewen's various persuasion, Her Highness Elsa finally calmed down."
"But who would have thought that at this critical moment when the coronation ceremony was about to begin, Her Highness Elsa actually..."
At this point, Jacob didn't want to say anything more.
Jacob turned his head and looked directly into Su Cheng's eyes:
"Su Cheng, the reason why I called you here is that I hope you can persuade Her Highness Elsa to come out and participate in the coronation ceremony."
"I have tried various methods, but I have not succeeded in persuading Her Highness Elsa."
"If it weren't for the fact that Gozewen was seriously ill and had no strength to come to Her Highness Elsa's room, I would have asked Gozewen to come and persuade Elsa."
"Su Cheng, you used to be Her Highness Elsa's teacher, and you have a very good relationship with Her Highness Elsa."
"If you go and persuade Her Highness Elsa, you might be able to persuade Her Highness Elsa successfully."
Jacob looked at Su Cheng with an extremely serious look, and said to Su Cheng with a tone that contained a hint of request:
"Su Cheng, can I ask you for a favor?"
"...I know." Without thinking too much, Su Cheng nodded seriously, "I am willing to do my best."
...
...
After Jacob opened the door lock of Elsa's room, Su Cheng entered Elsa's room lightly.
After Su Cheng entered the room, Jacob helped to close the door again.
There is not much time left before the coronation ceremony begins, so Su Cheng's task is urgent. He must persuade Elsa as soon as possible to get out of the room and attend the coronation ceremony.
Elsa's room is very large.
Although the room is large, it is very tidy.
Books, toys, and various sundries are neatly arranged.
There is a bulge wrapped in a quilt on the big bed in the room.
Su Cheng slowly walked towards the bulge wrapped in a quilt right next to the bed.
When Su Cheng approached the bulge, a familiar female voice with a crying tone came from the bulge:
"Don't come over!"
"Elsa, don't be afraid, it's me." Su Cheng whispered, "Su Cheng."
