After a long wait and preparation, the day for the prince's accession to the throne finally arrived, and this day was also an important day for Bai Qige to become Yi Chenjing's wife and the queen of Yaoguo.
It can be said that this day was not smooth from the beginning. Before dawn, Yaohuang suddenly fell ill. He coughed up more than half a bowl of blood and fell into a coma. He only woke up when Yi Chenjing was so anxious that he almost canceled the ceremony. Fortunately, Yaohuang was not there.
The man who made a fuss calmly ordered the ceremony to be held as usual, dressed up under the Queen's service, and appeared at the altar earlier than scheduled.
"There's less than an hour left. Where's Bai Yatou? Where's Jing'er? And where are those gang of wine and rice bags who only eat and sleep? I'm already here, why are they still dawdling?" Looking at the empty altar, Yaohuang Leiting
Furious.
"Your Majesty, calm down. According to the rules, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come from the east side of the altar later and is waiting in the east side hall at the moment. The Crown Princess said she felt unwell after getting up early and is on her way here; as for the civil and military ministers..."
Eunuch Tao bent over, his empty sleeves neatly tied around his waist, and his face was red with a smile. "Since last night, you all have been sending congratulatory gifts to the East Palace. It was only this morning that all of them were recorded. I guess
We are arriving in a group at the moment, and we will arrive in a short while."
Recalling that when he was canonizing Sima Tu'er as the queen, he spent a whole night dealing with the ministers. Emperor Yao felt relieved. After coughing twice, he waved his hand and leaned back in his wheelchair with his eyes closed to take a nap.[
Sure enough, in just one cup of tea, civil and military officials in court uniforms arrived in twos and threes, and the conversation under the altar gradually became lively.
The altar was bustling, but the East Palace was in a panic - Yi Chenjing went out early in the morning to prepare for the ceremony, leaving Bai Qige, who was dressing up, to look pale at dawn.
When Hao Xi was putting on her Xia Pei, she suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, scaring the makeup girl into a mess.
Bai Qige had already woken up when Fu Chu arrived after hearing the news. Her smile had not diminished, but her face had become paler.
"Sister Bai, reach out and let me take a look." Thinking of the dazzling blood drops that fell on Li'er when she was embroidering the Luanfeng handkerchief a few days ago, Fu Chu felt flustered and insisted on taking Bai Qige's pulse. However, Bai Qige just shook his head and said nothing.
Willing to reach out.
"It's just that I didn't sleep last night. It's not a serious problem. The time is coming soon. It's time for you to pick up Li'er, Fu Chu. Don't let her wait anxiously in the side hall alone." Kai Yuche's tightly holding hand was alone.
Standing, Bai Qige tried her best to appear normal, "Look, am I not fine? You will faint if you get up too quickly. Don't be so nervous."
Fu Chu was dubious, and just wanted to give him a few words of advice, but Ye Huawan's shouting suddenly sounded outside.
"Brother, come out quickly! Sister Bai is getting married. What are you causing trouble? No men are allowed in right now!"
Just now, Fu Chu was worried about Bai Qige's situation. He forgot the etiquette and barged in. At this time, after being reminded by Ye Huawan, he remembered that in Dayao custom, the bride is not allowed to see other men except her husband on the day of her wedding. The makeup lady and the serving maids met.
Bai Qige seemed to be fine, and her anxious heart was put back in her stomach. She huffed and surrounded Fu Chu and coaxed the embarrassed young man out.
"Miss, are you really okay? If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, you must tell me, but you can't hold on!" Yu Che was also worried, and kept chattering beside Bai Qige for a long time, but was hit by Bai Qige's hard chestnut, which made him cry.
Then he closed his mouth and followed closely with a happy face.
Only Bai Qige knew that her fainting just now was not accidental.
In fact, she had been feeling vague abdominal pain since the night before. Although the severity was not as severe as the onset of cold syndrome, the pain would take away all her strength and turn her into a ball of chaos, even her steps would be light. She couldn't rest well? She was too nervous? Bai Qige secretly thought
After thinking about several possibilities, she finally remembered something, which instantly gave her a chill.
The "medicine" left by Qi!
Fu Chu said that 70% of the medicine was poison. She secretly took it behind everyone's back in desperation to get pregnant, but she had no reaction after that. Could it be that the poison only took effect now? If so...
Life or death could only be left to fate, but today she had to persevere no matter what.
After going through so many twists and turns and sufferings, the two of them have been apart and reunited countless times, separated by joys and sorrows. Isn't this the day they have been waiting for? Even if she dies, she cannot retreat or fall at this time, but not today.
She was going to become Yi Chenjing's wife. It was different from the shameful marriage she had done in Zhaoguo. Instead, she came to him in an upright manner and promised to stay with him forever with the most solemn oath.
"Miss, what are you thinking about? It's time to go out!"
The crisp shout brought back her thoughts. Bai Qige took a deep breath in the mirror and forced out a graceful smile.
"Yu Che, please put on the phoenix crown. We will get up in the sedan chair now."[
Music started playing in the East Palace and the sedan chair set off. When Yi Chenjing and Emperor Yao were handing over the throne at the altar, Bai Qige was sitting in the sedan chair approaching the altar.
After several years of chaos in the palace, after several years of war and war, the country is peaceful and prosperous, watching the one you love come to dominate the world and become a wise king, and making a marriage for a hundred years with your own hands, what else can be compared?
Are you happier now? Reborn from the water to find a destination in a turbulent world. This ending makes Bai Qige feel satisfied. Even if there is a trace of regret, it is really sweet at this time.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess has arrived." On the altar, Eunuch Tao whispered in Emperor Yao's ear.
The old but lustrous eyes glanced at the side of the altar, and the newly painted Luan sedan was parked firmly in the corner. Emperor Yao nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on his face: "The new emperor's enthronement ceremony has ended, Tao Shihai, please don't do it again in the future.
Call me the emperor. From now on, I will be in charge of this prosperous country. He is the emperor of the distant country. I can finally rest."
"Where does all this nonsense come from?" Beside the dragon throne, the Queen's phoenix eyes squinted, "Eunuch Tao, please go and order the following to reset the rituals and music of the ceremony, and the Queen's canonization ceremony will begin soon. Bai Yatou didn't know how to recover from the cold weather a few days ago.
Don't let her wait too long and get tired."
Tao Shihai responded, turned to face the ceremony officer a hundred steps away, and shouted throughout the altar: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a decree. Princess Qi'an of Zhaoguo has performed many meritorious deeds for me. She is a wise minister, and she has a deep affection for the Emperor."
, so I canonize Queen Zhanhe. The Ministry of Rites prepares the ceremony and music after the canonization, and all the officials will kneel down to welcome me, Queen Dayao, to the altar!"
This moment has finally arrived.
The nervous and excited mood miraculously calmed down. Yi Chen took a deep breath and turned his clear eyes to the Luan sedan. He saw the curtain of the sedan lifted up, revealing a bright red dress.
The skirt embroidered with colorful female phoenixes was the first to poke out, and then came the familiar thin figure. The jeweled phoenix crown on top of her head could not hide her erect body, which was graceful and proud. The elegant gauze that only covered half of her face revealed hideous scars and was laughed at.
, as if it was not a trace of pain, but a unique proof of glory in the world.
At the outermost edge of the altar, one of the envoys from various countries who came to congratulate was wearing a mask. Although he was out of place, no one would pay much attention to this important moment. When everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Qige, who was about to become the Queen of Dayao, this person
The person lowered his head and stared at the wooden box in his hand. His slender fingers gently opened the lock, and a brilliant soft light flowed out from the gap.
The scarlet-blood shark bead is a rare treasure. When the new emperor of the distant country receives this precious gift, he must be overjoyed, right? The woman who connects three countries will also become perfect, without any stain, and will be passed down for generations. Close the lock,
The young man didn't notice that he was smiling, but this smile was more peaceful and caring.
In the end, he couldn't help but come in person, just to take one more look at her, to see how the most beautiful moment in her life bloomed like a pixel-white flower, so that he could record this moment in his memory and remember it forever.
Since we are close friends, we are willing to devote ourselves to each other.
There are a hundred stone steps on the high platform for the ceremony. Every thirty-three steps have a small platform one foot wide. The last step is a large platform with a radius of fifty feet. If you want to stand side by side with Yi Chen on the stage, you must walk through these hundred steps step by step. For clothing,
It was not easy for Bai Qige, who was dressed in a gorgeous but heavy wedding dress.
Stepping onto the first small platform, Bai Qige paused and looked up. Yi Chen looked at her from the end of the steps and smiled. His handsome face was the same as when he first saw her, but there was less cold hatred and more tenderness.
One hundred, ninety-nine, ninety-eight...
While Bai Qige was counting the stone steps under her feet, Yi Chen was also counting down. Every time she counted one, Bai Qige got closer to him, and the smile on her face became gentler, until the last small platform was only thirty years apart.
Four stone steps up, it seems that the surrounding rituals and music can no longer be heard.
It only took a few steps to rush to her at such a close distance, but he had to endure it, waiting for her to come step by step, and then hold hands with her and kneel to the Emperor Yao and the Empress.
The hand hanging by his side could not help but move, and the palm was slippery and warm with sweat. Everything clearly showed Yi Chen's nervousness at the moment. And just when he was concentrating on Bai Qige's figure, he suddenly discovered that Bai Qige seemed a little nervous.
Something was wrong. No matter how steep the stone steps were, no matter how heavy the clothes were, she would not stagger. Why did her steps that were steady just now suddenly become light and even weak?
Only Bai Qige knows the answer. She may never be able to climb the last thirty-four stone steps.
The pain in her abdomen intensified rapidly from the moment she stepped onto the stone steps. Now it was so painful that she couldn't feel any strength in her body. Even her steps were barely lifted in a semi-numb state, and the dizziness caused by the severe pain was also taken away.
In her eyesight, Yi Chenjing's worried and anxious face is sinking into the darkness little by little, and is about to disappear.[
"Qige!"
"Crown Princess! Someone is here! Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician quickly!"
After shaking for a while, Bai Qige finally couldn't hold on and fell down. She must have fallen into Yi Chen's arms, right? It was so warm, and he kept calling close to her ears.
In the chaos, one could hear cries and nervous inquiries from many people, as well as the panicked voice of the imperial doctor: "Yes, it's a miscarriage! The princess suffered a miscarriage with massive hemorrhage! How could it be so sudden..."
Miscarriage?
Is there his child in your belly?
It turns out that in the past two months, God has finally lived up to his prayers and sent a miracle.
A difficult smile appeared on the pale-as-paper face. Bai Qige tried her best to open her eyes, and tried her best to reach out and touch Yi Chen's angular face. Reluctantly, the sight and sound faded together.
