This sentence sounded like an apology, but He Lanji and Chu Tianjiao clearly understood that his generous gift was probably not something they could accept casually.
Soon, Zhang Yanqing walked out of the hall.
On the steps, He Lanxuan coughed lightly, put down the apple in his hand, and sat back on the dragon chair. His face had returned to its usual gentle and smiling look.
"Today is indeed a good day. Come on, come on, hurry up and finish the big ceremony with your third brother and Tianjiao. I can't wait to have a drink with you all!"
Immediately, all the ministers returned to their seats, and the presiding eunuch sang loudly again, "Continue to salute, the bride and groom bow to the high hall!"
He Lanji's parents were sick at an early age, and Chu Tianjiao was also an orphan, so it was natural for him to be the Queen Mother Anping.
Taking the initiative to stretch out his hand, He Lanji personally led Chu Tianjiao to the steps. The two of them saluted the Queen Mother Anping together. Before the two of them knelt down, the Queen Mother Anping had already stretched out her arms to support them.
"Tianjiao is a person inspired by the gods. You must not kneel down to the Ai family, otherwise it will shorten the life of the Ai family!"
The two of them did not insist, and immediately changed the salute to the bowing ceremony, and both bowed to the Queen Mother Anping.
Here the eunuch sang again, "The second homage is complete, the bride and groom pay homage to the emperor!"
The two of them turned around and walked in front of He Lanxuan. Chu Tianjiao immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Grandma Huang said that if I kneel down, my life will be shortened. In order for you to live a long life and live with the empire forever, my wife will not kneel to you!"
She can kneel to the sky or the ground.
Kneel down to Queen Mother Anping, she can kneel down.
But only this so-called emperor, Chu Tianjiao, would not kneel to him even if she broke her leg!
She said this in a child's tone, with an innocent and lovely face and such an innocent smile. Those who didn't know the inside story would only think that she was sincerely thinking about He Lanxuan.
He Lanxuan guessed what she was thinking, and his teeth were itching with hatred, but he smiled as gently as a big brother, "What did Tianjiao say? Our family doesn't have to be polite, so why do we have to kneel here and there? This ceremony
No need, come on, let’s all have a drink together quickly!”
Who dares to disobey the emperor's order?
At that moment, someone from the palace sent the wine glasses to He Lanji and Chu Tianjiao. Naturally, the ministers at the foot of the steps also held up their wine glasses.
He Lanxuan held the wine glass, walked slowly to the steps, and slowly poured the wine in the glass in front of the heaven and earth altar, "The first glass, to worship the gods!"
