A pair of slender hands under the table were tightly clenched into fists. She would never let such a thing appear in front of her beloved man again.
Cen Xue had no appetite, so she simply ate some vegetables and drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge. She was already full. She sat next to Helianzhi, watching the pleasing performance in the audience, and her eyes met Zana's on the stage.
When he looked at her, he noticed that her expression today was completely different from that of that day. There was anger in her eyes. Could it be that it was directed at herself?
No matter what, with Elder Zhi and Mu Yue protecting her, she should be fine.
Helian Jue drank his wine gloomily, looking at Cen Xue from time to time on the throne. Seeing that Brother Wang doted on her in every possible way made him somewhat relieved. He hoped that Brother Wang would be kind to Cen Xue and treat her well throughout his life.
If he can give her happiness, he is willing to be the person behind Cen Xue who silently blesses them.
As soon as the child's hour passed, there was a continuous sound of firecrackers both inside and outside the palace. This is a custom. As soon as the new year comes, every household will light up firecrackers to welcome this festive occasion.
days, and now, a new year has begun again...
Outside the palace, in Wuyue Tower, there were horrified shouts early in the morning. It turned out that a dancer died in her room with her body covered in ulcers and bleeding from all her orifices. It was so terrifying that the little girl who found her body was frightened.
I had to run out with a pale face.
The government officials quickly intervened and investigated, and the result was that he died of poisoning. Sai Jinhua has never been able to believe this. How could he die of poisoning if he was so good?
The dancer who died of poisoning was named Liu Jin. She was not the most popular dancer in Wuyue Tower. It was originally planned that Bo Ji would enter the palace to perform the dance that night, but Sai Jinhua thought about it and realized that she was just an ordinary dancer.
They still didn't let her go to the banquet, so they went to Liu Jin instead. Unexpectedly, after she came back, she died of inexplicable poisoning, and she died horribly. The skin all over her body was ulcerated, and her flesh and blood were blurred, which was horrible to look at.
Such an unlucky thing happened on the first day of the new year. The government didn't want to take care of it. They suppressed the matter and got rid of it hastily. Sai Jinhua didn't want this kind of thing to affect the reputation of her No. 1 dance studio and made a public statement.
Liu Jin was valued by others and took her away with a lot of money.
Someone was very satisfied with this result. He narrowed his eyes slightly in the darkness and disappeared in an instant...
Helianzhi would never break his promise to Cen Xue. The day of his and Cen Xue's wedding and coronation was approaching day by day. He sent invitations to all close friends from nearby allies. He wanted everyone to know that he
Helianzhi will marry his most beloved woman in ten days.
Loulan Nation was celebrating, and Helian ordered Zhao Changde to select the most precious gemstones from the treasury to make a phoenix crown for Cen Xue. He would never wrong her, and he would definitely let her share the glory and wealth with him for the rest of her life.
"Zhi, I heard Zhao Changde say that you asked him to go to the treasury to select many gems to make a phoenix crown for me. Is this true?" Cen Xue has heard a lot of topics about her recently.
"Yes, what's the matter? Don't you like it?" Helianzhi looked at her face without a trace of smile.
"It's not that I don't like it, I just think it's too extravagant and wasteful. Just be more casual." Cen Xue heard the rumors from those in the palace and said that the king sent a hundred guards to catch rare birds and beasts just for the banquet.
purpose.
It was just a wedding, why go to war and kill those rare birds? This made her feel unbearable.
"Xue'er, do you still remember what Gu once said to you?" Helianzhi held her hand with a serious look on his face. He always puts it first when it comes to matters between them.
.
Cen Xue lowered her head and thought about it carefully. He said so many words, how could she know which sentence he was referring to?
Shaking his head, he asked puzzledly: "You said too many words, I don't remember which sentence they were."
A trace of disappointment flashed across He Lianzhi's face. It doesn't matter if she doesn't remember, as long as he remembers: "Gu said that he will definitely make you the envy of all women, so I will collect the most precious things in the world for you.
Things must use the rarest pink treasure
I will make a phoenix crown for you, and embroider a phoenix robe and wedding dress for you with the finest shining gold thread. I will sprinkle the red carpet with petals, let you step on the flowers, step by step towards the high platform, so that everyone can
Watch us, envy us..."
"Hold on..." Cen Xue whispered and hugged him.
She was an incompetent bride. She could become an enviable bride without doing anything or thinking about it. But he had so many things to do and had to arrange the details of their wedding in the midst of his busy schedule. How could he not be moved by her?
"What I said, I will definitely do it." He Lianzhi hugged her tightly, feeling the warmth of her in his arms.
"Well, I know you are good to me, but just think of it as praying for me and my children, and don't kill those rare birds and animals, okay? I beg you..." Cen Xue looked at him
, with firmness written all over his face.
Helianzhi never refuted her words. Since she had already spoken, he could only agree.
"Okay, I promise you that, but those who have been killed will definitely be used by the imperial chef, so I can only promise you this." He Lianzhi looked at her with gentle eyes, hoping that she would understand what he meant.
"Well, I understand, as long as you take back the order." This man always thinks about her, so how can she blame him for being kind to her.
Mu Yue was also rushing to arrange the final matters. After receiving the invitation letter, many allies and neighbors sent envoys to Loulan Country to congratulate them. For a time, Loulan Country was very lively, and everyone was immersed in the joy.
among!
The wind is blowing, the flowers are fragrant, the people are beautiful, and the wedding day has finally arrived!
The long corridors in the Loulan Palace were hung with bright red festive palace lanterns and festive red silk. All the pavilions and corridors that could be refurbished were given new decorations, and even the tree branches were decorated with red ribbons.
The roads and steps inside and outside the main hall were all covered with a red carpet, which extended all the way to the palace gate. Today, the entire Loulan Kingdom was celebrating with joy.
The Dongou Kingdom has always been the best ally of the Loulan Kingdom. On such a festive day, the Dongou Kingdom will naturally not lose its etiquette. The second prince Chun Yuqian brought a congratulatory gift and personally came to the Loulan Kingdom to congratulate the King and Queen of Loulan.
.
There are also allies from various tribes who have sent representatives to send their own congratulatory gifts.
He Lianzhi put on a gold silk wedding robe and a crown on his head. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. The violence and evil in his eyes were gone, but a bit of tenderness and expectation were added, showing a new handsome image. His sword eyebrows were raised lightly.
, with an evil and sycophantic look flashing in his eyes, he turned to Zhao Changde behind him and asked: "Is everything arranged properly?
"Reporting to the king, everything has been arranged. Most of the guests for the banquet have arrived. Now when the auspicious time comes, the old slave will lead people to take the queen to the hall!" For today's happy event, Zhao Changde specially
She put on a set of more festive clothes and respectfully reported back to him.
He Lianzhi's lips curled up with a hint of joy: "You don't need to go, I want to marry Gu's queen in person!"
At this moment, Cen Xue, dressed by Lan Qi'er and several nuns, had her long hair tied up and put on a phoenix crown that symbolized the queen. Her palm-sized face highlighted her delicate facial features. Today, she even wore a little...
Pink Dai, paired with this gorgeous red wedding dress, embroidered with a phoenix that symbolizes the royal family's descendants, makes her look so noble yet elegant and beautiful!
"Master, are you satisfied with this?" Lan Qier stood behind her and asked her with a bright smile.
Cen Xue looked at herself in the bronze mirror intently. Wow, is this really her? It's so beautiful, so beautiful that she can't believe it...
"Qi'er, tell me, is this really me?" Cen Xue's voice trembled a little as she spoke.
"Yes, yes, this is really you, master. If you don't believe it, stand up and spin around in a circle and try it." Lan Qier stepped forward to help her. Now the master is three months pregnant, although the child is stable.
Some, but you still have to pay attention at all times.
Cen Xue stood up and felt that she was looking festive now. This day had finally arrived.
"By the way, are both Yu Wu and Ling'er here?" Thinking of the other two good sisters, he asked nervously.
"Don't worry, Miss Yuwu and Miss Ling'er are here, but this is the palace. For your safety, the king has ordered that no one else is allowed to approach, so today, my master, you can be the bride with peace of mind, and don't think about anything else.
." Lan Qier warned her politely.
Unable to convince her, Cen Xue had no choice but to follow Zhi's arrangements...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the king is here." Outside the door, an unknown palace maid suddenly shouted nervously.
Cen Xue looked out the door in confusion. She must be talking nonsense. The person who came to greet her should be Zhao Changde. How could it be Zhi?
Just as he was thinking about it, Helianzhi pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing her dressed up in front of him, he was stunned in front of the door for a while.
Cen Xue didn't expect that he would actually come to greet her in person, but seeing the awkward look on his face as he stood in front of the door, she immediately stepped back from the palace maid next to her, stepped forward and gently pushed his hand, saying softly: "Don't be so arrogant.
You are the king!"
"Oh... Well... I'm here to take you to the main hall. The auspicious time is coming soon. Let's go quickly. Don't keep the guests waiting in the main hall for a long time." Withdrawing his attention, he immediately took her white and tender little hand.
, put on a red hijab, and surrounded by everyone, left Xingqing Palace and headed for the main hall.
The further she took a step forward, the more Cen Xue felt unusually nervous. She looked at the man holding her arm beside her, took a deep breath, and tried to relax herself.
"Don't be afraid. You are here. Just follow Gu's footsteps." He Lianzhi could feel her nervousness. In fact, he was also nervous, but his joy was even greater. He couldn't tell where he came from.
of tension.
Cen Xue nodded, blinked her watery eyes, followed his steps, and stepped onto the red carpet step by step...
