The palace was decorated with lanterns and colors, orchestral music was played, incense was burning on the main hall, and melons and fruits were placed on top. The bright moon on the top of the hall shone brightly, creating a splendid palace.
The ministers who entered the palace stood on both sides with different expressions, and the expressions of the princes and princesses were also different. The wedding was so hasty that some people only found out about it in the past two days and were not well prepared.
Changle, as the ninth princess of the Xuanwu Kingdom, was considered an important guest who had been admitted in advance. She lifted up her skirt, moved her steps lightly, and tried her best not to draw attention to herself.
When she walked into the main hall, there were already many people standing inside. Looking at herself in the bronze mirror beside the main hall, Changle was really not used to it.
With Ling Xiaowan's face, she could only keep a low profile as much as possible, because Ling Xiaowan was a very low-key person, and if normal times, she would have become the center of everyone's attention.
After a while, all the congratulatory ministers and envoys arrived. From a distance, they heard the eunuch shouting at the top of his voice: "The emperor is here, the queen is here, the queen is here, the prince is here!"
The eunuch's voice was loud and drums were playing. After a while, the emperor in bright yellow dragon robes led his concubines into the hall.
Chang Le and others saluted the emperor one after another. The emperor, with his gray beard tangled, glanced at everyone in vain, then narrowed his eyes slightly, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked ashen and defeated again.
He sat on the dragon chair and snorted softly. Now his body was fatter than before, his eyes were a little swollen, his skin was slightly pale, and he looked very sick.
The queen beside him was still as beautiful as a flower and charming, but her originally bright eyes had recently become very coquettish and cold. Her eyes looked directly at the emperor, and from time to time glanced at Chu Wuyou, with a look in her eyes.
It has infinite meaning.
Concubine Xue glanced at the queen coldly, cursed in her heart a "slutty fox", and then sat in her seat very indifferently.
Chu Wuyou stood in front of the ministers. His dark eyes were as bright as if they were stained with ink. His whole person was shining with the clear light of the sun and the moon, and he was as beautiful as an elf who had fallen into the mortal world.
He was wearing a gorgeous bright yellow velvet robe and a jade crown on his head. He glanced at the crowd with his beautiful eyes. This sweep made the girls feel confused.
What a beautiful man. It's a pity that he wants to marry someone else.
"Is everyone here? Tomorrow is the prince's wedding. Mr. Xiao, have all the matters in the palace been arranged?"
The emperor spoke coldly and followed the question. He was referring to whether the security measures in the palace were in place.
Xiao Lingfeng pondered for a moment, then slowly stepped forward, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, we have already made arrangements. The ministers have transferred the Royal Guards to the palace and made arrangements everywhere. Please rest assured, the emperor, not even a fly can fly."
Come in."
The emperor trimmed his beard and nodded solemnly. The queen and Concubine Xue beside him had the same expression on their faces, with dissatisfaction and disapproval written all over their faces.
Concubine Xue's eyes were rolling. Changle was once her daughter-in-law, but now she was marrying the prince. Her son often complained in front of him, asking her to find a way to get Changle back.
However, now that the overall situation has been decided, she wanted to object, but the emperor did not agree because he was partial to Xu Changle and Chu Wuyou.
I don’t know what is so good about Xu Changle that makes every man fall in love with him.
Xu Changle was still her enemy and knew her secret. There was no way she could keep such a woman. If it weren't for her son, she would have sent a killer to kill Xu Changle.
