Chapter 655: Master Arrives
maze of time and space. 。Everything is destined in the grand scheme of things, those who are meant to meet will eventually find each other, and those who are not meant to meet will inevitably only pas..."Today's palace banquet is to celebrate the Emperor and Empress's lifelong bond." 。The astrological divination, showed a favorable marriage match. After consultation with the head of the household last night, three letters and six rituals have been completed. Although the formal wedding has not yet taken place, the betrothal is already complete. 。"Everyone, congratulations!"
Lian Shi spoke again, and along with the banquet guests, bowed to each other once more. They all shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the Emperor and Empress on their auspicious union! May they live together for a hundred years, and enjoy many happy years, year after year!"
Shi Liyuan was very pleased with the phrase "many happy years," so he raised his hand. “You are dismissed!”
The crowd rose to their feet. Lian Shi spoke again: "After this banquet, Night Four Sister will be the future Empress. Everyone, listen carefully! Regarding this matter, no one should have any doubts or objections."
Otherwise, it means turning against the Yanhuagong. I shall punish you all!" He spoke with a smile on his face, using the most polite voice to utter the most threatening words. Hearing this, everyone present trembled. 。Everyone looked towards Ye Wen, and saw that her pale gold dress seemed not to be dyed gold, but rather radiated a faint golden light from within. 。The garment's original color seemed to be white, but under this layer of golden light, it felt more luxurious than the dragon robe worn by the emperor. 。Of course, besides being luxurious, it also carries a strong sense of mystery. 。And the phoenix hairpin on her head was also shining. All of this must have been bestowed by the Emperor, it seems. To be the wife of an Emperor, she could receive such divine treatment, and make mortals feel such supreme glory. 。For a time, the envious grew more envious, and the jealous, more jealous. 。Yè Wēn yán, right there in the midst of those envious and jealous gazes, opened her mouth to speak. She sat there, lips moving back and forth, not appearing to exert much effort, yet her voice reached every corner of the grand hall. 。"I have no grievances against anyone at present. Perhaps in my youth, I was reckless and caused a great deal of trouble in Lin'an City. Here, I apologize to those who were harmed by my past actions." 。For the title of "Night's Witch" that you bestowed upon me, I return it to you today as well. 。I consider myself worthy of Lin'an and everyone, but sitting in this position, there will surely be many people who are unconvinced. 。How can she, Ye Wenyan, become empress What qualifications does she have She's been married before, and yet, she still receives such a good marriage. 。Is it because she has a beautiful face Or is it because she is the only daughter of a first-rank general's family
Actually, neither! Not everything in this world has a reason. Some things just happen no matter how much you think about them, and they remain that way. 。I understand your dissatisfaction, but I hope you can keep it in your heart and not let it show. Don't let others see it either. 。Because even if you refuse to accept it, there's nothing you can do about it. Dwelling on this matter all day will only bring yourself trouble and won't change anything in my life or Emperor Zun's decision. 。"What's the point"
She smiled and continued, "I haven't contributed much yet in my time here, but I have done some good in Lin'an..." 。The two clinics are located outside the inner and outer city walls of Lin'an. As the emperor and empress, I have provided them to the people of Lin'an as a safeguard for their lives. 。I hope you will cherish this protection, and I hope that when you encounter illness, you will think of these two clinics first. 。I am not a divine doctor, but I do possess the skills to heal people. I hope that through these skills, I can bring peace and stability to the people of Lin'an and its surrounding areas. 。May there come a day when all suffering in the world will cease. 。She arrived, raising the wine cup passed by a palace attendant, “Thank you all for coming to celebrate. I toast to you all—” The Emperor and Empress raised their cups, the Imperial Lord also raised his cup, and the court officials all stood up, returning to their seats and lifting their pre-poured wine. 。After finishing the drink in one gulp, people understood that from now on, Ye Wenyan was truly Empress Dowager. 。 People resettled, and another palace maid's voice rang out from the hall— "Announce, Su Yuan, the envoy, is here to pay his respects!" Soon, Lou Qinghan entered the hall with A Man and the shaman. 。This time, the people of Suyuan were very courteous. They walked in an orderly manner, bowed respectfully, and greeted the Emperor and Empress with proper etiquette. 。Shi Li, with a slight nod, was led to his seat by a palace maid. 。Next was the audience with the County Princess of Guiyue. Feng Zhaolian came alone, without attendants or maidservants. 。Today, she wasn't wearing the red dress. Instead, like Night Fourth Sister, she wore a light pink long dress. She entered cheerfully and politely. 。Like the Suyuan people, he knelt in the middle of the hall and kowtowed to the upper part. 。The difference is that she talks a lot. After kowtowing, she looked at Shi Liyuan and Ye Wenyan: "Since Your Majesty has officially announced your relationship with A-Yan, then this marriage is considered settled." 。When will you two get married We should put that on the schedule. 。By that time, be sure to send me a letter. I must have it. 。"Ayan is my best friend in this world, so Your Majesty, you must definitely treat her well. If she suffers even the slightest grievance from you, I will seek you out for justice." 。I say that Zhao Lian is not very capable, and the country of Guiyue wouldn't change because of me. But personally speaking, at least I am not afraid of death, and I am not afraid of immortals. 。I only know that I hope Ayan will be well. If she's not doing well, even if I go to hell, I have to stand up for her. 。All the guests gasped, wiping their brows in astonishment. They had to admire how daring Princess Guiyue was, actually challenging the Emperor himself. 。Then, looking at the Emperor, he didn't seem displeased either. He simply told Princess Guiyue, "My feelings for A-Yan are evident to all, Princess, you can rest assured." 。If, someday, a noble person should entrust something to a certain individual... No, there wouldn't be such a thing. 。Fei Zhao Lian was completely satisfied. She even winked at Ye Wenyan playfully, then got up and followed the palace maids to her seat at the banquet. 。...It was just that the place she sat was rather delicate, because all the foreign envoys were there, so she sat at the same table as Su Yuanren. This delighted Feng Zhaolian greatly, who kept greeting Lou Qinghan with: "Hi, Hanzi!" Lou Qinghan felt like the world around her was suddenly plunged into darkness, it was particularly irritating... 。I went to Bei Qi, got three aliases: Lou Han, Lou Han Zi, one worse than the other. Even my white hair was mixed up! What kind of place is this Bei Qi It's a dragon's lair, a tiger's den! This place is too much, man! 。Feng Zhaolian, seeing that he ignored her, immediately became displeased. “What’s wrong Don’t you like to hear this Humph! Whether you like it or not, you have to listen!” 。
Grandpa, I have a score to settle with you today. Before we do, I'll give you a chance to turn yourself in.
"Hanzi, tell me, back then when my uncle fell ill, did any of you have something to do with it" She said this, her gaze sweeping over Amnan and the shaman without any courtesy. But the two just sat there, saying nothing, not even looking at her, as if they hadn't heard a word she'd said. 。I couldn't help but let out another cold snort. "Truly, each one is more shameless than the last." 。"Lou Qinghan also snorted coldly, "Wang doesn't understand what the county princess is talking about. What does your country's king have to do with you" "Whether it's your business or not, Wang Ba knows it in his heart, and this county princess knows it too." 。Since I've decided to settle this account today, I will definitely settle it. 。Wait for me here, until you understand what's going on. None of you can leave Yanhuadang before then. 。"
Lou Qinghan's heart felt even more stifled. Damn it, the fourth place was born. You idiot, this is worse than the first three!
There was another voice outside the hall, this time it was "The Emperor has arrived". " 。
All the guests stood up and knelt down towards the palace gate, shouting, "Welcome Your Majesty!"
Quingcheng didn't have the heart to pay them any mind. He was now staring with fervent eyes at the Emperor and Empress above, his heart calling out incessantly, "Sister, brother-in-law..."
Because he felt that only such a title could show that they were their own people, a family. 。As he walked to the center of the hall, he knelt before the two figures at the head and first congratulated the Emperor and Empress on their betrothal. Then, he rose again, only to kneel once more. This time, it was— "Master, please accept my disciple's bow!"The fact that His Majesty would take the Emperor as his disciple had been spreading throughout the city for days, and people were mentally prepared for this. 。But to be mentally prepared is one thing, and to actually hear the Emperor and the Imperial Venerable call someone "Master" is another. This scene still brought a shock to them. 。The Heavenly Emperor hadn't taken an apprentice in hundreds of years, and he had never been too close to the royal family of Beizhou. 。Even in the history of Northern Qi, there were only a few emperors who, besides seeing the emperor once at his enthronement ceremony, never saw him again in their lifetime. 。 This is a revered and aloof Emperor, yet since ascending the throne, he has shown unprecedented warmth and support. He even directly accepted him as his personal disciple! This news has left all the courtiers present today in utter astonishment. 。With such a clear and powerful backing from the Emperor, the emperor's throne would undoubtedly be firmly secured. So what purpose did it serve for some of them to still revolve around the Regent King What could the Sixth Prince's status as the late emperor's direct son possibly amount to In front of the disciples of the Emperor, he was nothing! Between the Emperor and the late emperor, the choice would be clear: the Emperor without a doubt.Although these thoughts were not spoken aloud, they had already distanced themselves from those in power in their hearts. 。And the power calculation seemed to feel this distance too, its heart fluttered for a moment. 。After planning for so many years, he thought everything would go smoothly according to his plan. However, from the day of the wedding, all the rhythms were disrupted. 。Now he sees how Quan Qingcheng, that sapling, has grown into a towering tree. His so-called schemes are becoming more and more like a joke under the shade of this giant tree. 。He clenched his fist, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a gleam of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. 。There's no turning back, even if it's a joke, he has to keep going. 。This life, he only sought one thing. If he gave up halfway, what meaning would there be in his life He might as well give it his all once. Maybe he could still fight for a good outcome. 。Above the main hall, Shi Liyuan looked at Quan Qingcheng and listened to this voice of master, nodding slowly, "Good! Since you call this deity master, this deity cannot treat you poorly" 。"Qingcheng, look up!"ng brightly since noon. 。The new mistress's arrival at the residence is set for the wu shi hour, a time chosen by Night Scene after consulting with a master astrologer. 。That gentleman said that as l...
