Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General-Chapter 84: The Ceremony of Crowning the Queen

"This is undoubtedly the most glorious moment for our Martial Arts Club. Everyone, let's take lots of photos."

"I'll post it on the forum to promote us. Next year, our club's membership should exceed thirty."

As a qualified club president, recruitment was an issue that had to be considered.

Feng Qingyi suggested, "I think before recruiting, we should first find some reliable martial arts instructors."

"Although it's just an amateur club, we still need to teach something. Otherwise, aren't people just paying to kill time?"

Luo Nuo strongly agreed, "I think you're right, senior. The current martial arts instructor in our club isn't really up to par."

Luo Qingyu nodded, "I'll consider what you've said and try to find suitable instructors as soon as possible. We'll strive to expand our club quickly."

After the martial arts competition, the 500 points had been successfully credited. Looking at the remaining balance, Feng Qingyi was in high spirits.

She hadn't bought anything for a while, and now her remaining points had reached 9,230.

She could easily purchase all the remaining items in the level two store.

However, her current learning progress couldn't keep up.

Although she was curious about what the higher-level stores had to offer, Feng Qingyi restrained herself.

Buying too many courses would lead to the mentality of "I've bought them all, I can learn anytime," which would affect her learning efficiency.

Even though Feng Qingyi believed she could manage her time well, having too many courses at once would create a lot of pressure.

Step by step, slowly but surely. After all, she still had plenty of time.

After the martial arts competition, Feng Qingyi noticed a very strange phenomenon during class.

Her classmates were unanimously keeping their distance from her, as if facing a fierce beast.

Feng Qingyi didn't understand. Was she really that frightening?

She went to ask Shen Hanyue about the situation, but even the usually gossipy Shen Hanyue looked bewildered this time.

"I think it might be because you're too good-looking. They feel inferior when they're around you."

Feng Qingyi rolled her eyes. This explanation was utterly ridiculous.

Qu Jingqiu, overhearing their conversation, handed her phone to Feng Qingyi.

"This message, you'll understand once you see it. It was posted on the school's official public account."

Feng Qingyi opened it and found it was a promotional article for the Martial Arts Club written by Luo Qingyu.

The article itself wasn't problematic, just listing some benefits of practicing martial arts and encouraging people to join the club.

But at the end, Luo Qingyu had used flowery language to exaggerate and embellish her and Luo Nuo's performance in that recreational competition.

It claimed that she and Luo Nuo, with just the two of them, had swept through four major universities, their strength unmatched.

Reading this content, Feng Qingyi found it absurd. Would anyone really believe this?

"So they're keeping their distance because they saw this and think I'm a martial arts expert?"

Qu Jingqiu: "There are high-resolution photos below, which match what he wrote. It's not surprising that people believe it."

"To be honest, I was also very surprised when I saw this."

They were all university students, yet they lacked the ability to discern truth from fiction. What you see isn't always true!

"He's totally exaggerating. It's obviously fake!"

Qu Jingqiu: "You've always presented a gentle and weak image. Suddenly becoming a martial arts expert is hard for people to accept at first."

Feng Qingyi was exasperated but decided to let it go. It wouldn't affect her anyway.

In Shengjing, at the General's Mansion.

Qin Yuchuan returned home after the morning court session, his expression grave.

Xuanyuan Xi, seeing Qin Yuchuan standing by the pond, instructed Bai Wei to bring him a cloak.

"Yuchuan, has something happened?"

Hearing Xuanyuan Xi's voice, Qin Yuchuan replied, "It's nothing, Mother. You needn't worry."

"With such a furrowed brow, how can it be nothing?" Xuanyuan Xi knew her son well.

"Imperial Noble Yan is pregnant. His Majesty has decided to hold the ceremony to crown her as Empress in three days."

Although he hadn't uncovered what role this Imperial Noble Yan played in the Southern Border affair, he had a gut feeling that she wasn't simple.

Xuanyuan Sheng's rush to make her Empress might lead to problems.

Xuanyuan Xi, having lived in Shengjing all her life and attending palace banquets during festivals, had some understanding of Imperial Noble Yan.

After hearing Qin Yuchuan's words, she asked slowly, "Is there something wrong with Imperial Noble Yan?"

"She's from the Southern Border."

Xuanyuan Xi, who had some understanding of Shengjing's situation and the dynamics between various countries, quickly said upon hearing this, "I am His Majesty's aunt. I'll go to the palace to persuade him."

Qin Yuchuan: "Mother, there are some things we can't prevent. Since he has already decided, he should bear the consequences himself, don't you think?"

Xuanyuan Xi was stunned. After a long while, she spoke, "You're right, Yuchuan. I don't ask for much in this life, only that you remain safe."

"After the war between Tianqi and the Southern Border, would you be willing to leave Shengjing with me, Mother?" Qin Yuchuan changed the subject.

Xuanyuan Xi said, "Although Shengjing is prosperous, I've grown tired of it after staying for so long."

"Yuchuan, since you've decided, I will respect your decision. You are wiser than your father." 𝔣𝔯𝖊𝔢𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝖔𝔪

Qin Yuchuan looked at the withered lotus in front of him, "Mother, the wind is rising. Your health isn't good, please go back to your chambers to rest."

Xuanyuan Xi: "After such a long period of recuperation, I'm much better now. Yuchuan, you needn't worry about me."

"I know you've always been discreet in your actions, but don't compromise yourself. Now, no one in Shengjing dares to touch you."

"Do what you want to do, and don't force yourself to agree to things you don't want to do."

"Although he is the emperor and you are his subject, nothing can be accomplished without you now."

"The Qin family has already done more than enough for this country."

In Qin Yuchuan's impression, Xuanyuan Xi had always been gentle, virtuous, dignified, and composed.

These words didn't seem like something she would say, but now he had heard them with his own ears.

"Mother, you needn't worry about me either. I understand everything."

Since ascending to the throne, although Xuanyuan Sheng had many consorts, the position of Empress remained vacant.

Upon learning of Murong Yan's pregnancy, Xuanyuan Sheng was overjoyed and immediately drafted an edict to crown her as Empress.

The ministers of the court argued incessantly about this matter, but Xuanyuan Sheng silenced them with one sentence: "This is my family affair, and no interference will be tolerated."

The empress's coronation ceremony was extremely grand. Xuanyuan Sheng, accompanied by Murong Yan, received the court officials' kowtows in Xuanzheng Hall.

Murong Yan gazed at the rows of kneeling ministers below, her smile dazzling.

What did it matter if they disagreed or disapproved of her? In the end, they still had to kneel and pay homage to her.

As long as she controlled Xuanyuan Sheng and bore him a prince, Tianqi would sooner or later be hers for the taking.
