Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Ruhui Palace was much noisier than usual today. The palace servants walked briskly, and everyone had a joyful expression on their faces.

Ji Chaoxi was pulled out of her sleep. She let the other nannies dress her up and let out a big yawn.

Why does she have to get up so early when Xiao Yanchen ascends the throne?

When Ji Chaoxi regained some of her senses, she looked at herself in the mirror with a blank expression. She was wearing an extremely formal black dress with gold patterns, and the collar and cuffs were embroidered with clouds and dragons in gold thread.

She silently stared at the old woman in the mirror, the two of them staring at each other.

The old woman smiled, her face crinkling with wrinkles: "It's like this, Lord Ji, the Seventh Prince said he wants to wear the same clothes as you so that the ministers will all know about your relationship."

This certainly fits Xiao Yanchen's personality.

I don't know if it's because he was too busy today, but he didn't appear at Ruhui Palace.

The azure sky was cloudless, the air was extremely transparent, and even the finest dust particles could be seen in the air. Sunlight shone on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, refracting a dazzling white light.

The giant bell in the Bell and Drum Tower of the Forbidden City, which had been silent all night, was struck.

"Thump—"

The bell tolled with an air of majesty, echoing between the palace walls. It rang out 108 times, each time striking heavily.

After the bells of the Bell and Drum Towers ceased ringing, the giant drums of the Taihe Gate began to beat in unison again. Amidst the resounding chimes, all the civil and military officials were waiting on the white marble square. The civil officials, led by the Grand Secretaries, lined up on the east side, while the military generals, clad in armor, lined up on the west side. Tens of thousands of imperial guards stood around the square.

When everyone had settled in the white marble square, the sound of bells and drums stopped.

The square fell silent instantly, and all the officials held their breath, waiting for the king's arrival in the sunlight.

"Welcome—Luan—"

The master of ceremonies blushed, raised his voice, and drew out the last syllable, his voice piercing the sky.

The doors of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were slowly pushed open.

The dimly lit hall was immediately filled with sunlight from the square. Ji Chaoxi stood expressionless in the center, but those who knew her knew that she had been there for a while.

A warm hand gripped her palm tightly, its fingertips brushing against the back of her hand.

Xiao Yanchen did not let go; he held Ji Chaoxi tightly as they stepped out of the main hall side by side.

Amidst solemn drum music, the two walked step by step up the white marble steps.

The dragon robe made a soft rustling sound on the ground, a sound that amplified infinitely in the square. The imperial guards on both sides stood with their heads down, forming two endless rows.

Finally, after crossing the last step, the sunlight shone on the crimson gold nine-dragon throne, making it appear even more supreme.

Ji Chaoxi stood in front of the dragon throne, while Xiao Yanchen stood beside her, watching her intently.

Ji Chaoxi was a little confused by him.

what……

Before Ji Chaoxi could react, Xiao Yanchen gently placed his hand on her shoulder and pressed her down onto the cold dragon throne.

The officials below were also completely bewildered by what they saw.

The Minister of Rites walked over shakily, just as he was about to raise the imperial seal and shout "Long live Your Highness!"

Xiao Yanchen calmly took out the imperial edict bearing the emperor's seal from his bosom, his voice clearly penetrating the air.

"By imperial decree, Your Majesty, I am of capricious nature and unfit to inherit the throne. The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, Ji, possesses the talent to save the world... Therefore, I abdicate in favor of Ji Chaoxi."

A deathly silence fell over the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Minister of Rites next to him rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot, scattering the things in his arms all over the ground. The white-haired civil officials standing at the front had even more blank stares.

Ji Chaoxi's mind went blank from being exposed to the sunlight.

She silently observed the expressions on the faces of the officials below—shock, anger, sadness, despair—but there was one who always wore a smile. She looked closely and realized it was Eunuch Liu.

He kept watching the expressions of the officials around him, his face beaming with delight.

Would you say she represents the pinnacle of honesty?

Xiao Yanchen turned around and, under everyone's gaze, accepted the emperor's crown adorned with pearls.

His voice was deep, but his eyes were full of smiles.

"Since Father is unwell, then I, Father's only eldest son, will personally crown the new emperor."

Xiao Yanchen carefully placed the crown on Ji Chaoxi's head, and the clinking sound of the pearls on the crown could be clearly heard in the square.

Several ministers were already unsteady on their feet. They supported each other, and amidst the horrified gazes of everyone, he was the first to kneel down before Ji Chaoxi on the dragon throne.

"Your subject, Xiao Yanchen, pays respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Tens of thousands of imperial guards outside the arena knelt down in unison, their armor striking the ground with a thunderous clang that echoed throughout the entire square.

"Long live! Long live! Long live the Emperor!"

The shouts of tens of thousands of people terrified the civil officials who were still discussing the matter, turning them pale and forcing them to kneel down.

Ji Chaoxi's eyes lit up as she watched this scene.

She silently vowed in her heart that she would definitely be a good emperor in the future!

The new emperor laid the foundation and granted a general amnesty.

Consort Gui and Xiao He were also released from the palace and lived in a house in the capital.

The palace was a place of sorrow for the imperial concubine, first for herself, then for her father, and finally for her son.

Fortunately, Xiao He was there to keep her company.

The person who accompanied her into the palace was Xiao He, and the person who accompanied her out of the palace is still Xiao He.

After Ji Chaoxi ascended the throne, she was extremely excited, addressing herself as "I" repeatedly. She sat on the dragon throne reviewing memorials and had Xiao Yanchen serve her tea and water.

The night was deep, the sky a rich, deep blue, and without any clouds to obscure it, the stars were exceptionally bright.

As soon as Xiao Yanchen entered the palace, he saw the newly enthroned emperor lying on a pile of brocade, holding the law he hadn't finished reading, and fast asleep.

Xiao Yanchen leaned closer, his eyes full of tenderness, and he secretly touched the dark circles under her eyes.

Emperor Ji Chaoxi went to bed earlier than Detective Xiao Xizi.

So the next day, Ji Chaoxi began her life as emperor.

Between three and five in the morning, before dawn, the palace was already bustling with activity.

She lay on top of Xiao Yanchen with her eyes closed, letting him dress her.

Xiao Yanchen kissed her forehead, frowned, and said, "Xixi, how about we skip the inner court?"

Ji Chaoxi opened her eyes with difficulty and said seriously, "No, since I have become the emperor, I must fulfill the duties of an emperor."

The morning sunlight streamed through the wooden window and fell on the long table.

Ji Chaoxi wore casual clothes, her long hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and after drinking a few sips of tea, her eyes gradually cleared.

Xiao Yanchen sat beside her, relaxed, sipping his tea.

The high-ranking official opposite him held the folding tablet tightly in his hand, his face showing extreme caution.

The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was all smiles. Just a few days ago, he had been mocking Ji Chaoxi because of his experience. He never expected that Ji Chaoxi would turn around and become the emperor.

Ji Chaoxi held the dossier of Qin County.

"Lord Lin," Ji Chaoxi said calmly to the Minister, "this file says that the money allocated to Qin County will not arrive for three months, but I remember that the corruption case tried by the Court of Judicial Review this year still had cash on hand."

The Minister of Revenue was sweating profusely. He stammered, "Your Majesty, that's for backup purposes..."

Xiao Yanchen, who was standing next to him, sneered.

Minister of Revenue: ...

Ji Chaoxi coughed lightly and said, "My idea is to address the immediate crisis first. As for the national treasury, once I have finished investigating the wrongful convictions, the confiscated assets will be used to replenish the national treasury."

She looked at the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who straightened his back and nodded.

The Emperor is indeed worthy of coming from their Dali Temple. It's still better to stay with Dali Temple!
