After ten years of seclusion, he forced the demon queen to marry him

A few days later, late at night,

Tiandu was completely new, and the traces of the war had long disappeared.

The streets were brightly lit, decorated with lights and colorful decorations, crowded with lively crowds everywhere, with heavy traffic, noisy voices, the sound of firecrackers resounding through every street and alley, and gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky. The colorful glow in the night sky still lingered over Tiandu for a long time, and people were looking forward to it and praying for blessings.

Tonight will be the most sleepless night for all the people of Tianzhou.

At the time of tomorrow's Mao time, when dawn breaks and the sun rises, it will be the time for the coronation ceremony of the first female emperor of Tianzhou!

The people of Tiandu cheered and welcomed the coronation of the female emperor.

Everyone firmly believed that Tianzhou would usher in a brand new prosperous scene!

In the palace, Zhou Anning wore a phoenix crown and a bright red and gold-threaded phoenix robe, standing dignifiedly in front of the mirror, allowing dozens of maids to dress her up carefully.

This was the first time in her life that she stood in front of the mirror and dressed up like a woman.

Some maids put rouge and powder on her face, some maids drew her eyebrows and painted her red, and some maids dressed her carefully. She wore hairpins, necklaces, and jewelry that had never been used before, as if they were free, as luxurious as possible.

After dressing up, Zhou An Ning couldn't help but look at the woman in the mirror in surprise.

With black hair and phoenix eyes, and eyebrows and eyes like a painting, she was a heroic and beautiful girl standing in the mirror.

Zhou An Ning couldn't help but stare at her.

Is this still her?

Langya lay on the ground with a look of despair.

He didn't care whether Zhou An Ning was a man or a woman, it didn't matter anyway.

He only cared about whether he had meat to eat, whether he could fight, and whether he could kill the hateful bird!

At this time, the little fire phoenix was jumping on his head, chirping non-stop. It would peck his head twice for no reason!

If Zhou An Ning hadn't asked, he would have used it to make roast chicken!

At this time, a maid entered the room and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the head of the Xia family and his wife are here."

Zhou An Ning and Lang Ya's eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to order:

"Please let Uncle Xia and Sister Su in."

""Yes."

The maid said and left.

Not long after, Xia Changming and Su Yueli entered the room.

Today was the most important day for Zhou An Ning, so Xia Changming and Su Yueli were specially invited to witness it.

As soon as he came in, Langya threw himself into Xia Changming's arms.

"Boss~！"

Xia Changming naturally grabbed his neck and lifted him up into the air, then threw him to Su Yueli.

Su Yueli held his head like she was carrying trash.

Langya curled up his head, not daring to move at all...

Zhou Anning slowly walked in front of Xia Changming and Su Yueli, and asked in a slightly immature and embarrassed tone:

"Uncle Xia, Sister Su, does An Ning look good in this outfit?"

Only in front of Xia Changming and Su Yueli would Zhou An Ning show her girlish side.

To Zhou An Ning, Xia Changming and Su Yueli were both irreplaceable.

Xia Changming nodded and praised:

"Very nice."

Zhou An Ning smiled, rarely showing a smile again.

But soon, the smile faded, Zhou An Ning's expression became extremely solemn, his palms clenched, as if he was struggling with something.

After a while, Zhou An Ning finally made up his mind, stared at Xia Changming seriously, and said:

""Uncle Xia, someone once told me that opportunities never come by waiting for others to give them to you. If you want them, you have to fight for them yourself!"

Xia Changming didn't understand.

Su Yueli looked at Zhou An Ning in surprise.

Why did this sound so familiar?

Wasn't this what she had taught Zhou An Ning in the secret realm?

What did she mean by saying this now?

"Sister Su, I'm sorry!"

Zhou An Ning first bowed to Su Yueli to apologize, then turned to Xia Changming again and mustered up the courage to speak:

"Uncle Xia, An Ning likes you!"

Xia Changming:"…(⊙ˍ⊙)"

Su Yueli:"…(⊙ˍ⊙)"

Xia Changming was stunned.

Su Yueli was dumbfounded.

She already regretted not burying Zhou An Ning in the secret realm that day... and shouldn't have taught her those words...

Now not only has he become the empress, but he also dared to declare war on her?!

Su Yueli inadvertently tightened her hand holding Langya's head and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Better find a chance to kill this little brat...!

To avoid endless troubles!

"Lady, Lady Empress... my head is about to split…！"

Feeling the pressure on his head, Langya quickly begged for mercy.

Zhou Anning stared at Xia Changming.

This made Xia Changming feel more pressured...

There was an inexplicable murderous aura around him, didn't you feel it, Anning...

Xia Changming sighed deeply, shook his head gently and replied:

"Sorry, I already have someone I love."

"I treat you as my own sister, nothing else."

Listening to Xia Changming's sincere answer, Zhou An Ning did not show any sadness or surprise, but said with a look of relief:

"An Ning knows…"

""Thank you, Uncle Xia!"

In fact, Zhou An Ning knew the ending from the beginning.

She could see that Xia Changming only had Su Yueli in his eyes, and Su Yueli did not hate Xia Changming as much as she said, and she didn't want to kill him.

It's just that she hasn't noticed it yet, or she doesn't want to admit it...

When she confessed, she felt Su Yueli's murderous intention...

Since entering the room, Xia Changming and Su Yueli have never let go of each other's hands.

The reason why she asked was just to get an answer to make herself feel at ease.

In this way, she can also be at ease to govern the country as a king and devote herself to governing the country.

The scene fell into silence for a while.

Zhou An Ning's expression quickly returned to normal, and she smiled and asked as if nothing had happened:

"Uncle Xia, you guessed An Ning’s identity when An Ning received the inheritance from the master, right?"

"That's right."

Xia Changming admitted

"No wonder Uncle Xia stopped touching An Ning's head since then.…"

"For the last time, can Uncle Xia let An Ning be willful one last time and touch An Ning’s head once?"

"As a brother?"

Zhou Anning looked at Xia Changming and pleaded.

"Of course."

Xia Changming was slightly stunned, then smiled and stroked Zhou Anning's head.

Feeling the familiar and reassuring palm on his head, Zhou Anning showed a comfortable smile on his face until Yue Zhuotian's voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty! The time has come!"

"The coronation ceremony will begin immediately. Prime Minister Liu sent me to call you."

"Got it."

Zhou An Ning replied calmly, slowly moving away from Xia Changming's palm, her face changing into a calm and indifferent expression.

From this moment on, she was the new emperor of Tian Zhou!

"Uncle Xia, Sister Su, let's go together."

Xia Changming and Su Yueli accompanied Zhou An Ning and walked slowly to the front of the Ascension Palace.

This was the place where Zhou An Ning ended the war with the imperial seal in his hand that day, and it was also the place where the whole Tiandu could be seen at a glance.

Civil and military officials headed by Liu Wen had already gathered here.

Countless armored soldiers stood on the steps leading to the palace, with their heads held high and their bodies straight, welcoming their new emperor!

Zhou An Ning walked to the front alone, drew his sword and pointed it at the sky, and shouted loudly:

"I, Zhou An Ning, will take the throne and guard the Heavenly Zhou with the Emperor's Sword to ensure the prosperity and peace of the Heavenly Zhou!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Phoenix Flame Feather Sword in his hand trembled, and the Fire Phoenix soared in the sky with a phoenix cry.

All the people and soldiers in Tiandu knelt down and bowed, shouting loudly:

"Welcome Your Majesty!!!"
