Qian Liu came in with Chengye in her arms. As soon as she entered the room, she put him down. Chengye walked towards Yun Shang. He looked up at Yun Shang for a long time before he clapped his hands and smiled, "Mother, you look good."
Everyone laughed, "Even the Prince praised your majesty is beautiful. His majesty will not be able to take his eyes off you later."
While they were talking and laughing, a maid's voice came from outside, "Your majesty, the Phoenix chariot is waiting outside our palace. It's time to go to the palace gate."
Yun Shang nodded. The headwear was too heavy for her to do that easily. Qin Yi hurried to help Yun Shang up. Qian Zhuo and Qian Liu helped
R ] straighten the hemline of the long dress. Yun Shang lifted her foot and slowly walked out of the Weiyang Palace.
It was fine today. There was no cloud, and there was a breeze. Although it was cold, it was still a little warm because of the sunlight.
Yun Shang looked up at the blue sky and heard Madam Qi's voice, Get up."
The chariot shook and was lifted up. They passed the Imperial Garden, the Moonlight Gate, the Happiness Gate, and the Gate of Tranquil Longevity before they arrived at the palace gate.
WhenYun Shang got to the gate of the palace, she saw Luo Qingyan go to the bell tower in a dark robe embroidered with a golden flying dragon. Her eyes kept following Luo Qingyan's back. She put her hands on Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo's and got off the Phoenix chariot. Soon after Luo Qingyan went up the bell tower, the drawn-out sound of the bell started ringing out one after another for twelve times.
After it stopped, Luo Qingyan went downstairs and walked towards Yun Shang. Yun Shang couldn't help smiling. Looking up at him, she was moved.
She was born and raised in the court. She had once hated it, hated the fights in the palace, hated the scheming inside, and had even thought of escaping from it with her mother. But now, she had experienced a lot of things. Ever since today, it really meant that she might be locked behind this heavy palace wall for the rest of her life. All her experiences including the ups and downs of her life, laughter or tears, would be witnessed by the court.. But at this moment, when she saw Luo Qingyan walking towards her step by step, she felt extremely steadfast in her heart,. Even if she would be locked up by the palace wall for a lifetime, as long as he was by her side, she felt that everything was worth it.
Luo Qingyan came up to Yun Shang and smiled at her, his eyes full of tenderness. All the civil and military officials had been lined up on both sides, standing quietly with their heads down.
Luo Qingyan blinked and held Yun Shang's hand. "The Emperor and the Empress enter the Taiji Palace!" Liu Wenan's voice came from afar.
Yun Shang took a deep breath and was about to lift her foot when Luo Qingyan suddenly pinched her hand, which almost made her jump up.
Yun Shang turned around and saw Luo Qingyan standing beside her quietly like any dignified emperor.
Yun Shang glared at him, and Luo Qingyan smiled. Both of them lifted their feet together, walked through the long palace road, stepped on the stairs, and headed for the Taiji Palace.
" If we want to promote appropriate
governance, we must reform the old and turn over a new leaf. We should not only rely on virtue, but also rely on our relatives and virtuous people to seek new treatment for the state together. From the first day of the first lunar month next year, it will be the first year of Sheng'an, when an amnesty should be issued, and a new beginning can be achieved. Since November 17th, all criminals should be granted an amnesty, and those who couldn't be pardoned should be forgiven. My wife, is from the Ning clan, virtuous and prudent. She has always been a model of rectitude. She is very much a mother of the country This is to comply with the instructions. She is appointed Empress with the treasure book. Here is the imperial edict... "
Liu Wenan's voice echoed in the Taiji Palace, with a bit of solemnness. All the civilian and military officers knelt down there.
"Hail Your Majesty, the Emperor! Hail Your Majesty, the Empress!" The voices came in unison. Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang sat straight on the dragon and Phoenix chairs facing the officials.
"Arise," ordered Luo Qingyan. He was still as cold as usual. Yun Shang turned to Luo Qingyan and smiled at him before the ministers stood up.
