Chapter 127: The big wedding night is a blockbuster! 10
On the wedding night, it was a blockbuster! (10)
In the square in front of the palace, on the eight giant pillars lining both sides of the square, everlasting lanterns swayed in the night wind, making the entire square in front of the palace shine like day.
On the palace wall, strings of red lanterns hang densely, reflecting in the river surrounding the palace under the city wall and shining with the starlight.
In the middle of the square, a red carpet was spread from Tongtian Street to the Orchid Palace, which was newly decorated tonight. The main entrance of the palace, which had been closed at this time on weekdays, was also wide open, and the forest guards all wore new helmets.
On both sides of the square, two teams of blue-robed disciples of the Shen Sect were holding swords and performing a blessing ceremony. This was only done when the emperor was getting married, but tonight it was an exception for the Red Flame King.
Those who didn't know about it just thought that the emperor had a special friendship for this third brother. They looked at these pretenders through the window screen of the sedan chair, but Chu Tianjiao, who was sitting in the sedan chair, raised his eyebrows slightly, vaguely smelling something wrong in this.
Naturally, no one knew what the bride in the sedan was thinking. The welcoming procession crossed the white jade bridge over the river, marched into the palace, and went straight to the main hall of the palace - the Hall of Prayer to Heaven.
Today, the Emperor himself will host a grand ceremony for the newlyweds, and the wedding banquet will be held in this Hall of Prayer to Heaven.
The entire Hall of Prayer to Heaven was also decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was full of joy. Tables and carpets were set up throughout the hall. Officials of the fifth rank and above from the capital were all at the side of the hall. Many of them even brought their families and lined up on the red carpet.
Those on both sides are in high positions, while those at the back are just minor characters.
On the high steps, the Emperor He Lanxuan, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat at the throne. On his left and right sides, there was a long table painted with gold. On the left, the old Queen Mother was dressed in new clothes with a smile on her face. On the right, there was a long table.
Sitting behind him is tonight's other protagonist - Scarlet Flame King He Lanji.
Tonight, He Lanji was also dressed ceremoniously, a bright red wedding dress that was gorgeous and exquisite, which made his handsome face even more picturesque, as if his brows had lost a bit of the usual desolation.
On both sides of the steps, civil and military ministers attended on the left and right.
Naturally, the first among the civil servants was Zhang Yanqing, the Prime Minister of the Left. At this moment, although his face was calm, there was hatred in his heart and eyes.
"The bride has arrived!"
At this time, a eunuch's high-pitched singing was heard from the palace gate, and then the sound came in from the outer hall one floor at a time. Chu Tianjiao's sedan was carried into the front of the hall and stopped outside the inner hall door.
A group of nuns and happy ladies got off the sedan and came all the way on the red carpet.
All the civil and military officials stood up from the carpet. Chu Tianjiao was the princess, second only to He Lanxuan in terms of status, so these ministers naturally stood up to greet her.
