Han Lingshi was shocked to hear this ethereal voice, but she still raised her head. Before her stood a phantom of an old man dressed in a white and moonshine blue robes. She spotted the a wide Crescent Moon embroidered across the chest of the person, and at this moment, she heard Hao Ren's voice in her mind, "He was the last King of the Moon Spirit Kingdom before it fell. In a way, he is your Great Grand Uncle." Han Lingshi was surprised, but then she bowed her head to the phantom and the phantom said, "I am but a left over energy of my last thoughts. It was your husband who retrieved my remains and those of my fallen family from the battlefields, purified us and brought us here to rest." The young lady did not say much, and the phantom continued, "I do not have much time left, I have watched the things that you have done for the people all these years, I am very happy, but I hope that you also remain vigilant. Guard the people, but Guard yourself as well. May your reign be prosper and eternal." Han Lingshi bowed once more and said, "I will heed your advice, thank you for your blessings." She did not feeling addressing the man as a relative out of the blues. The phantom nodded, and then he vanished. Hao Ren said, "The ancestor worship ceremony has been completed. Let us go to the throne room where you will be coronated and then you will have to address the people who are waiting for you outside the palace since last night." Han Lingshi was surprised, she did not expect something like this, after all, she was not strong and neither did she have a lot of fame in this world, so why would people care about her. However, looking at the young man beside him, she could understand that this guy was the one who pulled the strings. She asked, "Did you tell the people about me?" Hao Ren nodded and Han Lingshi complained, "Why did you? I wanted to earn this recognition with my own efforts." The young man shook his head and replied, "The reason they are waiting for you is because they know that I only listen to you. They are scared of me, and in the past few days, you have been working hard to mellow things out, the various policies that are been implemented because of your direct decisions. That is what have made them come to bless you. Learn to accept the grace Lingshi, leaders do not get recognition because they did something to stand out, but because they grab opportunities and lead their people to a better future." Han Lingshi sighed and said, "Do you really think I need you to preach all this to me? I am just asking you to not handle everything on your own." Hao Ren smiled and said, "I won't." ... The couple arrived in their rooms, where the Yin and Yang were waiting for them. Suddenly, Hao Ren said, "You two will go out and guard the room. I will dress up my wife." Yin stretched her arm towards Yang and the boy took out a spirit fruit, his eyes brimming with a great sense of loss. Hao Ren raised his brow and looked at Yin who said, "We bet on it, he initiated. I told him you will dress up Young Miss with your own hands." The young couple shook their heads, and Han Lingshi patted Yang on the head, "Don't be upset, I will get you a spirit fruit later." Yang nodded but his mood was still in the dumps. Hao Ren took out a spirit fruit from his space ring, and a mellow aroma lingered in the surroundings instantly. He coaxed the child with it and then went inside the room with Han Lingshi. The young lady told Yang to not bet with his sister again. It would be so troublesome if he kept losing to the clever Yin. Han Lingshi wanted to complain to Hao Ren because his 'daughter' was always exploiting her 'son'. Hao Ren led her before the mirror, and quickly undid the silk robes around her body. Han Lingshi was shocked, but then instantly she found herself wrapped in her undergarments. Hao Ren held his chin and scanned her from head to toe before he remarked, "Hmmm, lace looks good, well, getting on." Han Lingshi stood with her eyes wide open, because she could not fathom what Hao Ren was doing. Soon after, under his guidance, she put up a the phoenix robe. It was a robe made from white brocade with a golden phoenix embroidered on the back. The hem of the robe was also embroidered with delicate and beautiful flower vines. The entire piece of clothing was studded with precious gems. Han Lingshi was a natural beauty, but when she was dressed in the robe, her charm rivaled the world. Hao Ren then carefully ran his fingers through her hair and gently tied them into a bun before fixing them with a jade hairpin that was carved like a phoenix flying towards the heavens. Han Lingshi asked, "This is enough, right?" Han Lingshi smiled at him, before she made her way to the throne, under the greeting of everyone. Hao Mei gestured her to sit down, on the throne and she turned to the side to pick up the dragon and phoenix crown from the tray held by Maya Okudera. She looked towards the crowd and the VIPs before she asked, "Today, we are all gathered here for the Coronation of Han Lingshi, as the sovereign of the proclaimed territories of the Crescent Moon Kingdom. Does anyone has any objection? If so, then speak now or hold your silence till eternity." The crowd did not say anything. Hao Mei said again, "From the moment this crown is put over her head, her wish will be supreme, and we all will be at her service. If you have any objection, speak now or hold your silence till eternity." The crowd was silent, and Hao Mei said, "Then by the will of the people, I, Hao Mei, announce Han Lingshi, the queen of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, and the sovereign of the nation." That said, she placed the crown on Han Lingshi's head before she took two steps back and bowed her head in unison with the other courtiers, and said, "May your reign prosper for eternity, Your Majesty!" The courtiers cheered three times, and the crowd repeated the chant. It shook the skies, and then, Hao Ren took out the Imperial Seal, he walked up to Han Lingshi before slightly bowing and extended his hand as he said, "Infuse your spirit in the Imperial Seal, Your Majesty." Han Lingshi nodded, she was feeling a bit nervous, but she did as she was told. The spiritual energy entered the seal, and suddenly a golden light erupted in the skies. The VIPs all stood up and Duke Wen exclaimed, "The heavenly phenomena, even the heavens are acknowledging and blessing the Queen!" He was so surprised that he forgot to keep his voice low, and the crowd heard this. Someone cheered, "Heaven's blessed, Long Live Queen Holy Moon!" Following this, the entire surroundings lit up with the loud cheers, "Heaven's blessed, Long Live Queen Holy Moon!" Han Lingshi was stunned, and she looked at Hao Ren, who smiled and nodded. The young lady waited for the cheers to calm down a bit before she stood up from the throne. It was time for a word with the people. She stored the seal in her space ring and infused some spiritual energy in her throat before she said, "As your Queen, I will uphold your trust and expectations in the crown and the palace." The people all listened to her intently. Han Lingshi continued, "I wish my people will also uphold my trust and expectations." "We will!" Replied the majority of masses. Han Lingshi looked at Hao Ren and then at the people before she said, "From this moment on, if you see His Excellency Wandering Dragon, you will put his presence above mine. While I am your Queen, he is my King." This was a proclamation of her unbound love to Hao Ren. The VIPs knew about it, but they were still a bit stunned to see her do this publically, and the public was also stunned. Han Lingshi continued, "Today, the peace and prosperity you have, the foundation of it all was laid by him. I hope you will give up your prejudice and act respectfully towards him." A young teenager yelled, "All hail Wandering Dragon, the King of Crescent Moon!" His voice created ripples that were followed by a flood of cheers. The people knew about Hao Ren, and so they finally accepted him. Han Lingshi nodded, and said, "Within a week, the palace will hold exams to select imperial officials. Regardless of your education, regardless of your strength and status in the society, if you have the confidence, we invite you to participate." The crowd was stunned but then they all cheered again. Han Lingshi went on to say a few more things, while Hao Ren heard a notification, *Ding: Platinum level task complete, evaluation under process...*
