Mārkaṇḍeya said: Having duly acknowledged the deeds accomplished, he installed him as crown prince. Then Śrī Rāmacandra—foremost among warriors—reached Kiṣkindhā and, accompanied by Vibhīṣaṇa and Sugrīva, showed Videha’s princess Sītā the beauty of the forest while traveling in the Puṣpaka aerial car. There he consecrated Aṅgada—who had displayed great valor in the war at Laṅkā—to the office of heir-apparent. Thereafter Rāma proceeded further in the company of those very allies, together with Saumitrī (Lakṣmaṇa).

Educational Q&A
Just rule honors proven merit: after conflict, a dharmic leader stabilizes society by rewarding valor and service with legitimate office (yauvarājya), strengthening alliances and ensuring orderly succession.
After the Laṅkā war, Rāma travels with Sītā in the Puṣpaka-vimāna, accompanied by Vibhīṣaṇa and Sugrīva, reaches Kiṣkindhā, and installs Aṅgada—renowned for his valor—as crown prince; then he continues onward with his companions and Lakṣmaṇa.
