Chapter 3 Drums 3

At that time, Wang Quan, who was disguised as Yan Ziming, had already climbed several steps along the stairs on the left side of the "Royal Road", but Yan Qingqiu, who was standing in front of the "Ten Thousand Steps", never took a step forward and stepped forward to keep up with Wang Quan's footsteps. *With *dream* small* say wwwlā

In front of the "Ten Thousand Steps" of the majestic and solemn Chongyang Palace, I saw Yan Qingqiu, who was wearing a peacock red gold phoenix crown, wearing a big red bird Chaohuang wedding dress, and stepping on the big red embroidered shoes of mandarin ducks and ducks, standing in place with a dignified posture, quietly leaning up her white jade neck, looking at the black and red figure that walked up the stairs unhurriedly, although Yan Qingqiu's face was still calm, but her beautiful eyes were full of doubts and puzzles.

I don't know why, just now, when he looked at the prince of Xu, for such an extremely short moment, Yan Qingqiu actually felt a kind of anger from the prince of the Red Ice Country, who always had a silly smile on his lips and his eyes were dull but not losing his clarity!

Although Yan Qingqiu has lived in the deep palace for a long time, he does not know martial arts, let alone any internal strength, but it is precisely because Yan Qingqiu has lived in the deep palace for a long time that he has grown up in the deep palace wall that eats people and does not spit out bones......

What's more, the perception of danger is the instinct of a person! And the more intelligent and alert a person is, the stronger the perception of danger!

Even if you don't mention that Yan Qingqiu grew up in the deep palace walls full of calculations since she was a child, Yan Qingqiu has long developed the instinct of observing words and feelings, seeking good fortune and avoiding harm, that is, Yan Qingqiu herself, she has been praised as a "natural talented girl" by her father and queen mother since she was a child, as well as Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Yurong, Zhang Feiruo and others, therefore, as smart as Yan Qingqiu, her perception of danger is naturally far greater than that of ordinary people.

Although the aura emanating from the Prince of the Red Ice Nation was very light, and even a little erratic. However, Yan Qingqiu, who had experienced countless dangers and calculations, had already learned to perceive the fluctuations of the aura around him clearly and unmistakably, and still felt it very keenly.

No, it wasn't just the anger that emanated from that Red Ice Realm Prince. Yan Qingqiu could feel that in that seemingly nonexistent aura, there seemed to be a more faint ...... Murderous!

Although the murderous aura mixed with the aura was very faint, so faint that it was almost imperceptible, Yan Qingqiu could be very sure of the faint aura mixed with the aura of anger. It's murderous! Just like back then...... And over the years, those who wanted to hurt her felt exactly the same way when they approached her!

If Yan Qingqiu was not sure at the beginning, the aura that seemed to be nothing, mixed with a very faint murderous aura, emanated from the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom who always had a silly smile on his lips and his eyes were dull but clear, then, after the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom turned around and walked up the stairs along the side of the "Royal Road", Yan Qingqiu could be 100% sure -

There is nothing like it, and it is mixed with a very faint murderous aura. It was indeed emanating from that Red Ice Monarch!

Because, the moment the Red Ice Monarch turned around, the aura that seemed to be nothing, mixed with a very faint murderous aura, dissipated invisibly!

Yan Qingqiu didn't understand very much: Why did the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom suddenly exude a murderous aura? She remembered that Aunt Rong had told her that although the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom was stupid, he was pure and good in nature, and since he was pure in nature, how could he exude a murderous aura? Even if it was her prince brother who had been honed in the military camp. and Brother Ye, who was born in Jiangmen, none of them have this kind of aura that makes her feel terrified......

Of course, this kind of thinking. It's just Yan Qingqiu's unilateral idea, whether it is Yan Bo, who has been sharpened in the military camp, or Ouyang Ye, who was born in the general's door, they have all calmed down bandits, used real knives and guns, and seen bloody breath. There is no lack of murderous spirit in them.

It's just that whether it is Yan Bo or Ouyang Ye, when facing the delicate Yan Qingqiu, they all invariably reined in the kind of aura on their bodies that can make ordinary people feel frightened, in order to not want to frighten their little princess sister who was born in the heavenly family, but has a bad fate......

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you should go to the palace with His Royal Highness Prince Xu. A familiar, soft and warm voice suddenly sounded in Yan Qingqiu's left ear.

Yan Qingqiu followed the sound and looked at her left back, and in the next moment, she saw the person who spoke, and sure enough, it was Mrs. Yurong who was wearing a crimson palace dress.

Even if Mrs. Yurong had doubts about Yan Qingqiu's stoppage, and reluctantly reminded Yan Qingqiu because of Yan Qingqiu's long-standing motion, Mrs. Yurong always had supple eyebrows, and there was always a faint smile on her lips, which was her usual dignified and gentle.

But what Yan Qingqiu saw was the set of red gold inlaid ruby hair ornaments on the hairpin of the picturesque, gentle and kind Mrs. Yurong, who was combed into a solemn cross bun, and the gold and red lights flashed with each other in the morning light, dazzling, and at the same time, Yan Qingqiu's eyes hurt.

Therefore, just glancing sideways at Mrs. Yurong, Yan Qingqiu turned her head as if nothing had happened, continued to look up at her white jade neck, and looked at the black and red figure walking on the stairs on the left side of the "Royal Road".

And at the moment when Yan Qingqiu looked sideways at Mrs. Yurong and then looked back, the black and red figure walking on the left step of the "Royal Road" probably noticed that Yan Qingqiu had not kept up with him, so the black and red figure had stopped walking up the steps.

So, when Yan Qingqiu looked back again, looked up at her white jade neck, and looked at the black and red figure walking on the steps on the left side of the "Royal Road", the owner of the black and red figure was also standing above the stairs on the first floor on the left side of the "Royal Road", turning sideways and looking down at Yan Qingqiu standing under the "Royal Road".

Looking up at the white jade neck, Yan Qingqiu calmly looked at the black and red figure standing in the backlight, because of the backlight, Yan Qingqiu couldn't see the expression of the owner of the figure at this time, but Yan Qingqiu could see that under the backlight of countless warm mornings, the figure standing on the high stone steps was so heroic and vibrant.

And Wang Quan, who stood above the "Royal Road", stood quietly on the top floor of the first stone step of the "Royal Road". Leaning sideways, he looked condescendingly at the foot of the "Royal Road", looking up at the white jade neck, obviously his eyes were full of doubts. But Yan Qingqiu, who looked at him calmly.

If you look closely, you can see that although Wang Quan's lips still have that silly smile, the look in Wang Quan's Danfeng eyes, which have become narrow because of his disguise, is very obscure.

So quietly looked at Wang Quan, who was standing above the "Royal Road" and couldn't see his face clearly, for a few seconds. Finally, Yan Qingqiu gathered the doubts in her eyes, turned around indifferently, and walked up the stairs along the right side of the "Royal Road".

"Royal Road" is also known as "Majesty". The so-called "Royal Road" was originally the building form of the palace of the former Tiancheng Kingdom, and it was a ramp between the platform and the floor and the stairs on both sides of the central axis of the palace, and it was a road that only the successive sons of the Tiancheng Kingdom could use.

Later, the Tiancheng Kingdom was destroyed, and the current Nine Kingdoms are rising, but in many architectural forms and national etiquette and etiquette systems. Today's Nine Kingdoms have all inherited the architectural form, etiquette and etiquette of the destroyed Tiancheng Kingdom, and this "imperial road" that only the Son of Heaven can use has also been inherited.

However, after the founding of the nine kingdoms of the Tiancheng continent today, the emperors of various countries enter and leave the palace to take advantage of the public opinion, and the sedan chair man can only walk on the steps, so the nine countries carve the "royal road" into the auspicious cloud and dragon pattern, in order to show that the emperors of the nine kingdoms are now "true destiny".

And in the history of the current nine countries of the Tiancheng Continent, including the history of the Tiancheng Kingdom that has been destroyed for more than 200 years, people who can embark on the "royal road". Generally speaking, there is only one emperor. But in history, in addition to the emperor, there are three types of people who can walk on the "royal road" -

The first category: the emperor. When the emperor's father left the palace, he could walk on the royal road by car.

The second category: the queen and the prince of the country. However, it is different from the "Emperor Taishang". The queen and the prince are not always able to walk the royal road.

Let's talk about the queen first. Whether it is the Tiancheng Kingdom of the previous dynasty or the nine countries of the Tiancheng Continent today, the queen can only enter the palace by phoenix chariot from the main gate of the palace on the day of the "big wedding" with the emperor, and walk through the "royal road".

When the Tiancheng Kingdom was not destroyed, the queen's phoenix could go to the Wutong Palace in the last three palaces. In other words, Wutong Palace is the cave house of the emperor of Tiancheng Kingdom. When the other concubines of the emperor of Tiancheng Kingdom were canonized into the palace, they could only take a pink soft sedan chair and be sent into the palace from the back gate of the imperial city at night.

Although the nine kingdoms of the Tiancheng Continent today no longer have the strict palace rules of the original Tiancheng Kingdom, the concubines who can enjoy this kind of treatment from the main gate of the palace and enter the palace by the phoenix chariot and embark on the "royal road" are still the only concubines who are the mother of the country, the "queen". As for the emperor's other concubines who were canonized into the palace, they were treated better than those concubines of the emperor of Tianchengguo in the previous dynasty.

Let's talk about the prince again. The prince is the same as the queen, only on the day of the prince's wedding, the prince can join his wife "the crown princess" to walk the "royal road". In addition, at any other time, even the prince of the country must bypass the "royal road" and can only walk the two stone steps on the left and right sides of the "royal road".

The third category: Jinke top three.

During the Tiancheng Kingdom, the emperor of the Tiancheng Kingdom would conduct the highest level of the imperial examination - the palace examination in the main hall of the Tiancheng Kingdom, the Taihe Palace. The palace examination was personally written, scored and evaluated by the emperor of Tianchengguo, and the top three in the Jinke were determined on the spot, that is, the top three in the imperial examination, that is, the champions, lists, and tanhuas that people in later generations were familiar with. In order to show the emperor's importance to talents, these three people can go out of the palace along the royal road from the Taihe Palace, and then ride horses in the capital to boast of the royal kindness.

Later, Tiancheng was broken, but the election system of the top three in the Jinke is still used by the nine countries of the Tiancheng Continent today, and at the same time, the etiquette system of the top three in the Jinke walking the "royal road" has also been followed.

Whether it is the Tiancheng Kingdom of the previous dynasty or the nine countries of the Tiancheng Continent today, except for the above three categories, to be precise, the four categories of people, no one else is allowed to walk the "royal road", and if there is a violator, it will be punished as a crime of disobedience!

To sum up, when Yi Rong became Yan Ziming's appearance, Wang Quan, who was wearing the black and red court clothes tailored for Yan Ziming, and Yan Qingqiu, who was also wearing the big red bird Chaohuang wedding dress tailored for her by the queen of Yan Kingdom, walked on the stone steps on the left and right sides of the "Royal Road" carved with dragons in huge stones, set off by waves and flowing clouds, Mrs. Yurong and Mrs. Yuling, who were only the first-class ladies of Yan Kingdom, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs of Chibing Kingdom and Yan Kingdom who did not even have a grade, they could only bypass the "Royal Road" , from the two stone steps on both sides of the "royal road" to the Chongyang Palace.

To tell the truth, the "Ten Thousand Steps" are only nine meters high, and such a height is not high at all for Wang Quan, who has internal force support and light power to protect his body.

In normal times, although there are hundreds of steps in a "Ten Thousand Steps", Wang Quan only needs a few breaths of effort to leap from the bottom of the "Ten Thousand Steps" to the top of the "Ten Thousand Steps".

But now is different from the past, Wang Quan naturally can't exert his internal strength and light skills as he wants, but if he goes up step by step, of course, it is very time-consuming.

However, whether it is Wang Quan or Yan Qingqiu, in order to maintain the solemnity and dignity of their respective images, they can only go up step by step.

Not to mention that Wang Quan had been standing on the "Royal Road" and waiting for Yan Qingqiu for a while, that is, Wang Quan and Yan Qingqiu were both wearing very heavy and cumbersome court clothes and wedding dresses today, which invisibly made Wang Quan and Yan Qingqiu more cumbersome in walking, and their pace slowed down a little.

And because the hem of Wang Quan's black and red court dress and Yan Qingqiu's big red bird and phoenix wedding dress are both swaying and mopping styles, if you walk on a gentle road, it is okay, but the hem that is too long is very unsuitable for walking on the stairs, and you will trip if you are not careful!

Therefore, when Wang Quan and Yan Qingqiu stepped on the top of the "Ten Thousand Steps" almost at the same time and stood on the Dan Majesty in front of the Chongyang Palace, they spent most of the time on tea.

And at the moment when Wang Quan and Yan Qingqiu climbed to the top of the "Ten Thousand Steps", in the Chongyang Hall where the middle gate was wide open, the sound of festive but solemn silk bamboo and sheng flute came out in a timely manner.

The drums in the Chongyang Hall are ringing, which means that today's wedding celebration between the Prince of Chibing Guoxu and the Princess Haoyue of the Yan Kingdom has officially begun...... (To be continued.) )
