Chapter 25 and Jun Cheng Qin Jin
The Heavenly Emperor's slender and delicate hand brushed the warm purple jade Ruyi, his joys, sorrows, and sorrows were hidden under the golden mask glowing with cold light, and only the indifferent eyes shone through the strange and cold diaphragm, staying on the purple jade Ruyi in his palm.
"The latter, the emperor's wife, the phoenix crown is fixed, and the hand is held against the elder."
The ancient characters engraved on Ruyi are clear and concise. The marriage of the Heavenly Monarch, since the fifth generation, has been chosen by the phoenix crown handed down from ancient times, and the phoenix crown has been given.
The three widows said in unison that the phoenix crown is a good couple, and the emperor and queen are all harmonious and happy.
The Emperor of Heaven indifferently glanced at Mei'er, who was standing a stone's throw away, and the gorgeous and colorful phoenix crown gathered his intended bride in the swaying light, and he couldn't see her face clearly.
A faint sorrow swept through his confused heart, from this moment on, there was no substitute for this girl in the mist, a long, long time ago, his destiny had already been predetermined—only she was qualified to stand by his side, and join hands with him to be proud of this vast time and space.
Mei'er lowered her eyes and lowered her head, the temple of the Heavenly Palace and the temple of the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa were naturally not the same, from the moment she stepped into the threshold, she felt an awe-inspiring majesty in her face, and for a moment she seemed to feel a pair of strong and powerful hands tightly around her throat, pressing her to the point that she almost suffocated.
She was busy secretly pranayama to resist the sudden strange air current, and she had no time or mood to look up at this Heavenly Domain Supreme - not because of shyness, nor fear, but because she was unwilling and unwilling to live her own life, so she was determined in a daze.
The pearl light on the phoenix crown is changing, her beautiful face is blocked by the bead curtain in front of the world, and the resentment in the autumn water can only flow secretly under the curtain, no one sees it, and no one knows the way.
They only saw a woman with a colorful phoenix crown on her head, wearing a Ming Huang palace costume, and a graceful posture, standing quietly in the moment.
The crisp jingle bells swept through the solemn and quiet temple, and the temple became brilliant, the Emperor of Heaven slowly turned around and faced Mei'er, holding the hand of Ziyu Ruyi and stretched out his hand flatly, the old man in the blue robe showed a pleased smile on his face, and said to Mei'er: "Please take the scepter of the Queen of Heaven." ”
Mei'er's body trembled slightly, through the flickering bead curtain, she saw that the so-called Queen of Heaven Scepter was being held firmly by a pair of slender hands, and her heart floated through a bit of unreal trance, the owner of this hand is the supreme emperor who is at the top of the heavenly domain, and everyone praises him, he can turn the clouds and rain at will, point to the rivers and mountains, and can also easily knead her within a square inch.
The blue-robed old man raised his eyes and glanced at the two masters who were silent and motionless, and he was a little depressed in his heart, today is a happy event that has happened once in hundreds of years in the Heavenly Palace, but the performance of these two masters is all cowardly. He saw that the master mother was standing still, so he had to repeat the words: "Please take the scepter of the queen of heaven!" ”
Mei'er's heart was shocked, her hand was raised, and something gently fell into her palm, and a melting warmth immediately penetrated from her palm into her heart, and she didn't have time to take a closer look, the purple jade Ruyi had turned around in her soft palm and integrated into her body. She pulled her hand back into her sleeve, and sour tears unconsciously overflowed from her eyes, slowly sliding down her white and delicate cheeks, and flowing into the corners of her mouth.
The three elders of the Heavenly Palace breathed a sigh of relief and showed a happy smile on their faces, they had been waiting for this day for many years, since they knelt in front of the old emperor fifteen years ago and received the order of the orphan, they have been conscientious, abide by their duties, and never dare to relax for half a minute.
The emperor is young and old, and he acts steadily, and he has been able to stand alone in the past few years, and now they have retreated to the background with peace of mind, waiting in the temple all day long.
Today, the emperor is finally married, and the burden of a thousand catties on their shoulders can also be removed, and they will be handed over to the master mother to love him and pity him, they are dying of old age, and they cannot be by his side forever.
The wedding was carried out in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the three old men, and when bowing to the jade statue of the Holy Ancestor who was high above, although Mei'er was depressed, she still couldn't help but look at the jade statue intently, she had heard her uncle say a lot of legends about this Heavenly Ancestor - this ancient legend, with his divine power and wisdom, opened up the heavens, cast mountains and open the sea, and was a peerless hero.
Aren't the thousands of living beings living in the heavenly realm now bathed in his divine light?
I didn't think I could see his dignity with my own eyes, it was really a blessing, oh, I saw that the jade statue was tall, with long eyebrows and handsome eyes, a high nose, a majestic demeanor, and a hint of a demagogic smile on his lips, and his appearance was extremely handsome and extraordinary.
Mei'er was a little stunned, and her heart moved slightly, this shape, this outline, why is there a faint sense of déjà vu? She bit her lip hard, ridiculous! How is this possible?
A warm voice whispered, "Master, it's time to salute." ”
Mei'er gathered her mind, silently followed the guidance of the old man, and bowed to the same silent monarch beside her, she lowered her eyes and breathed, numbly responding to the old man's various commands, until she heard the long voice echoing in the temple: "Licheng-"
Mei'er is a little confused, Licheng? Did she really marry this strange man?
She knelt in front of the altar, stunned and looked at the smooth purple jade floor tiles under her, I will be a frequent visitor here in the future, and the monthly sacrifice ceremony must be indispensable to me, and this man next to me will be the lover I entrust my life, will he carry the laughter and dreams of my life?
In a trance, someone gently touched her arm, the clear breath rushed into her nose without covering, the strength of the person's hand was used very skillfully, she involuntarily stood up with that skill, the hand was touched and released, Mei'er's face was slightly hot, looking sideways at the emperor standing beside her, through the shaking bead curtain, she saw that the golden mask on the emperor's face reflected the cold light, the mask made his whole person full of indifference that rejected people, Mei'er looked at him in a daze, as if there was a trace of trance floating through her heart.
The Emperor's deep gaze always stayed on the statue of the Holy Ancestor, his hands hung quietly on his waist, as if he had never moved for half a minute, and finally Mei'er came back to her senses, she turned her head and looked at the solemn and mighty jade statue on the altar.
After the long and cumbersome ceremony was completed, it was already dusk, and the three old men saluted respectfully to Mei'er: "Please go back to the inner palace to rest first, the emperor still has a ceremony that has not yet been completed, and he can enter the palace to accompany him later." ”
Mei'er replied in embarrassment, and as the three elders stepped out of the temple, there were already sixteen red-clothed palace ladies outside the temple standing on the purple jade platform, and the three elders bowed to Mei'er again, and then returned to the temple.
