Chapter 558 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3](62)
Bai Wu was dissatisfied and scolded: "The priest is really ruthless. Ah Wu has always heard that the high priest of the temple is the most gentle and courteous. Why are you driving people away several times today? Is it possible that there is something about Ah Wu that makes you afraid?"
Rong Chen gradually tightened his fingers, calmed down and then said: "Eldest Princess, please forgive me, I am not feeling well."
Bai Wu then stood up and said "Oh": "Let me just say, the wind was so strong last night. You must be tired from praying all night, so you feel sick now."
"In that case, I won't delay you sir. New Year's Eve is coming soon, and the priest will definitely attend the banquet with you."
After saying this, she smiled and left with the palace full of people.
Rong Chen stood in the palace, his eyes following the red dress until he disappeared at the end of the palace wall.
Si Tong looked where he looked and muttered to himself:
"This eldest princess is really arrogant, and she doesn't take our temple seriously. Sir, do you really want to see her sit in that position?"
"Oh, by the way, sir, the carriage you told me to prepare yesterday is also ready. When will we set off back to Lingguang Mountain?"
Rong Chen dropped his gaze and turned back to the palace.
Behind the screen, his clear voice came——
"I won't go back."
Si Tong:?
The new emperor ascended the throne and was the second female emperor in the history of Dongli Kingdom. When the time came, the Ministry of Rites entered into intensive preparations.
The royal family was dead and scattered, and now only such a princess was left. Those ministers were eager for her to ascend the throne as soon as possible to consolidate the imperial power, and they had no objection to this.
When they heard that the eldest princess had even obtained the high priest's handwriting, they no longer dared to object.
This is equivalent to the temple recognizing her identity.
How could they, who are believers, dare to disobey the Son of God?
So on New Year's Eve, the ministers gave up their rest and came to the Chengqian Hall to attend the coronation ceremony of the empress.
Unexpectedly, the heavy snow that has been falling for several days has stopped today.
The clouds are clear, the wind is calm, there are no clouds in the sky, and the sun is shining brightly.
It's a good omen.
Bai Wu finally put on the red dragon robe embroidered with southern pearls, a golden crown on her head, and a rhinoceros belt around her waist. She was beautiful and majestic.
There is also a cold light in the eyes that belongs to the Nine-Five Master, which makes people feel intimidated.
The officials were surprised to find that the domineering princess they had been criticizing had grown into a king who could hold up any scene and overlook the world.
While sighing, I was also full of awe.
This kind of royal family with its own majesty is the king they are willing to bow to.
The succession ceremony was complicated and trivial.
First, the people from the Ministry of Rites crowned the people, then went to the Temple of Heaven to worship the ancestors, and finally started from Taihua Gate, accepting the kneeling of officials all the way to Chengqian Hall before finishing the ceremony.
Each link needs a specific person to host it.
First of all, the people from the Ministry of Etiquette had to think hard about the crown ceremony.
After much thought, they didn't know who had the qualifications to crown the empress.
In the end, I don’t know who mentioned Prince Wei of Zhenbei Palace.
The young Crown Prince Wei not only had meritorious service and honors, he was also the betrothed son-in-law personally designated by the late emperor to the eldest princess.
After the eldest princess ascends the throne, he will be the future queen.
It is most appropriate for him to perform the crowning ceremony.
The Ministry of Rites immediately made the decision, and the next day, the edict was sent to the Zhenbei Palace.
The whole government was happy, but Wei Changce had a gloomy look on his face.
He didn't like the eldest princess, so he tried every means to cancel the marriage.
Now she was asked to crown her in public.
Isn't it the same as telling everyone in the world that they are engaged?
He will not go even if he dies.
However, that night, the sound of his ghost crying and howling was heard from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
According to the servants' recollections, this was the second time in more than ten years that they heard such a miserable scream from the young prince.
The first time was when their youngest son was five years old, he wounded the only son of the general next door with a bullet, and was chased half the mansion by Princess Wei with a riding crop.
So the next day, Wei Changce limped and got dressed and waited in the East Palace early.
When Bai Wu first entered the door, she saw him looking like he was mourning for his concubine, so she joked:
"Why, Prince Wei looks happier than me, who is about to ascend the throne?"
Wei Changce: "."
As expected, the eldest princess was as naughty and arrogant as the rumors said.
So he buried his head lower.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare. Please stand up quickly, princess, so that Wei Chen can crown you and then return to the house to resign."
Bai Wu smiled and stood in front of him.
"Is Prince Wei planning to keep his head down and crown me like this? After all, we can be considered an unmarried couple."
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Wei Changce's face became even more gloomy.
Even though today is such an important day, he still wants to disobey.
But the moment he raised his head, he froze on the spot.
The woman in front of her was not only not even half as ugly as the rumors said, but instead she was bright and flamboyant, with the appearance of a heavenly being.
What's more.
She looks so much like his Meier.
Bai Wu was very satisfied with his half surprised and half panic expression at this moment. She raised her lips and smiled, and the red pearls on her ears swayed slightly with her movements, reflecting a stream of charming light.
"Why is Prince Wei looking at me like this? Don't worry, when we get married, you can rest assured and watch enough."
Her straightforward statement brought Wei Chengce back to his senses.
Yes.
I heard earlier that Miss Liu looks very much like Concubine Wen.
The eldest princess is the daughter of Concubine Wen.
It was only natural that they would be like each other, so there was nothing to surprise him.
The arrogant and bold princess in front of her is not half as graceful as Miss Liu.
Not even as good as his Meier.
So Wei Changce lowered his eyes coldly, raised his hand to take the ceremonial crown held by the waiter, and put it on Bai Wu's head.
He is naturally tall, and now he can easily put the crown on her head without even lowering her head.
fair enough.
He didn't want to have too much contact with the Bai family.
After the ceremony, he hurriedly took a big step back, bowed and said: "The ceremony is complete, princess, please leave quickly."
Bai Wu raised her hand and straightened the golden crown, smiling and saying:
"I'm afraid Prince Wei has forgotten that as the crowned one, you have to complete the journey with me."
Wei Changce: "."
My butt hurts even more.
The second ritual of worshiping ancestors could not help but fall on Rong Chen who was now in the palace.
He was originally the high priest of the temple.
Not only did no one object to hosting this ceremony, but they all welcomed him.
As a result, the area near the Temple of Heaven was crowded with twice as many people as the East Palace early in the morning.
Just to catch a glimpse of the high priest of the temple.
When the waiter in white went to that row, everyone held their breath and knelt down one after another, shouting in unison:
"Welcome to the priest."
Bai Wu saw this scene from a distance and couldn't help but feel emotional.
Even if the Lingnan Town Wu Xian incident was made known to the whole world by her, the position of the high priest of the temple would still be unshakable.
Just like today was obviously the coronation ceremony for her, the empress, but they all wanted to greet the son of the god first, not her.
Bai Wu narrowed her eyes and walked up to the altar with a slight smile.
Rong Chen put on a robe full of dark gold patterns, and a rare golden crown, but he still wore the gold mask on his face.
Except for her, it seems.
No one has ever seen the face of this son of a god.
No one knows what kind of beautiful face trapped in love lies beneath this seemingly indifferent mask.
Seeing her approaching, Rong Chen put his hands on his chest for the first time and performed a sacred ceremony.
Seeing him salute, everyone knelt down again and shouted "Long live the Empress".
Bai Wu's smile couldn't reach her eyes: "Priest, you are not fully recovered yet, so I make you work so hard. I, oh no, I am deeply sorry."
Rong Chen looked cold and cold: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I am already fine."
Looking back, he saw Prince Wei following closely behind him and frowned slightly.
Seeing him frowning, Wei Changce didn't hold back and mocked him directly.
"I heard that the priest was going back to the temple half a month ago. How come it's New Year's Eve and I can still see the priest?"
Rong Chen's eyes were slightly cold. He glanced at Bai Wu who was offering incense and said, "Your Majesty's kindness is hard to refuse. I have no choice but to do so."
Bai Wu:?
Ah.
When did she become "kind"?
besides.
Let him stay in this palace, is he so forced to do so?
Hearing this, Wei Changce also glared at Bai Wu's back.
The rumors that the eldest princess was extravagant were indeed true.
Even if he is a boy, she wants to stay by her side, right?
Bai Wu: Why does my back feel weird today? Is it because the dragon robe is too rough and sticks to my back?
…
After the worship ceremony, Bai Wu went to Taihua Gate with one more person in her team.
Taihua Gate is the inner gate closest to the main palace gate. Entering Chengqian Hall through this gate is a process that every emperor of Dongli Kingdom must go through.
And to perform this ceremony, someone needs to preside over it and lead the new emperor into this glorious path.
This honor naturally fell on the new emperor's uncle, King Wei Bai Yuming.
He had already changed into palace clothes and was waiting in front of Taihua Gate.
In order to match today's Bai Wu, he even had a dark red palace dress sewn for him in advance and a red gold crown.
Presumably, when they walk hand in hand and walk along the flower path into the Chengqian Hall, they must be the most matched couple in the world.
But what Bai Yuming didn't expect was.
He was waiting for the elegant Bai Wu.
Two uninvited guests also arrived.
Bai Yuming's eyebrows instantly sank, and he sneered at Rong Chen at the front:
"Isn't the priest ready to go back to the temple a long time ago? How come the King of Japan can still meet the priest here today?"
Rong Chen: "."
He didn't want to answer this boring question again, so he simply ignored Bai Yuming and walked over, rubbing his shoulder.
So Bai Yuming could only turn the gun and point it at Wei Changce.
He raised his long eyes and glanced at his limping leg with a playful gaze.
"What's wrong with Prince Wei? He's so happy that he can't walk anymore?"
Wei Changce's face turned even darker.
He walked such a long way with someone he didn't want to see.
Finally, he met several people along the way that he didn't even want to see.
how.
Did the Ministry of Rites just let the three of them gather together because they couldn't choose anyone?
Wei Changce retorted angrily: "The King of Wei looks much happier than Wei Chen, otherwise he wouldn't be dressed like a peacock."
Bai Yuming's face instantly darkened: "What did you say?"
"I said."
"Two noblemen." Bai Wu quickly stepped between the two of them and stopped this imminent world war. "Today is different from the past. I don't know what conflicts there were between the two of you in the past, but I have succeeded to the throne. You will
They are all my right-hand men, so we must work together harmoniously."
Bai Yuming glanced at her faintly.
"Ah Wu, I am your royal uncle. Do you want to bend your elbow to an outsider?"
"I, the king, will say it first. I am without him, and he is without me."
Bai Wu: "."
Why are you married to the royal uncle again?
Hasn't someone been emphasizing that they are fake uncles and nephews who are not related by blood?
"The words of the King of Wei are wrong." Wei Changce said coldly, "What do you mean by an outsider? This prince is still engaged to His Majesty, and in public and private matters, the King of Wei can be considered an outsider."
Bai Yuming's eyes suddenly turned dark, and he glanced directly at Bai Wu and asked, "You still have an engagement with him? When did it happen?"
Just as Bai Wu was about to defend herself, she suddenly realized something. She blinked and asked, "When my father granted me the marriage, wasn't my uncle present?"
Bai Yuming's face was choked up, and he looked at Wei Changce with cold eyes.
"What does the unimportant human king remember so clearly?"
Then he reluctantly stretched out his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the time has come. It's better to follow this king into Chengqian Palace."
Bai Wu swallowed her saliva and put her hand up.
The moment he covered her, Bai Yuming held her hand tightly, as if he was deliberately showing off in front of Wei Changce.
Wei Changce did frown.
It's not because of jealousy.
But confused.
He had always heard that Bai Yuming had a better relationship with the third princess, and that he and the eldest princess had always been incompatible.
Why, looking at it now, the two of them are so good that something is wrong.
Bai Wu also looked at Bai Yuming intently, and when he turned around, she narrowed her beautiful eyes.
She should have noticed something was wrong with him long ago.
It seemed that it was time for her to investigate the true identity of her "uncle".
The team headed by four people marched toward Chengqian Hall in a mighty manner.
The square outside the main hall has long been filled with ministers from all walks of life standing side by side.
Civil servants and military generals stand side by side in rows, creating a magnificent scene that shows the prosperity of the dynasty.
The sunlight at noon fell directly outside the palace, falling entirely on Bai Wu who was dressed in a dragon robe, making her look even more noble and majestic.
With Bai Yuming's support, she walked step by step towards Chengqian Hall and climbed onto the Nine Dragons Purple Gold Seat where only the emperor was qualified to sit.
The chief eunuch began to read out the edict of succession. As soon as the high-pitched voice fell, the deafening sound of ceremonial whips sounded outside.
Hundreds of courtiers knelt down with the sound of whipping and shouted long live her.
Only now did Bai Wu fully understand why so many people had fought for this position throughout the ages.
Because only from this seat can we have a glance at the lives of all people, can the people of the world bow their heads, can be worshiped by thousands of people, and can be worshiped by thousands of people.
But Bai Wu also understood it very well.
There are also many people who worship unwillingly.
Just like Wei Changce who didn't even bend down.
For example, Bai Yuming just lowered his head.
Another example is Rong Chen, who never even bent his waist or lowered his head.
The smile in Bai Wu's eyes gradually faded and was gradually replaced by coldness.
Her net has been cast wide enough.
Now it's time to take it back.
She wants everyone, including them, to bow down willingly and only be her subordinates.
