Chapter 48: The Bestowal of Seals
He gritted his teeth and rushed straight to her face: "The moment I promised the queen mother, my heart was broken, and I promised the ministers to canonize the concubines, and my heart was dripping blood!" Any idea what I want to do? I want to throw the royal robe, kick over the dragon chair, turn around and take you away. I don't care about my will, no matter what my children are, I don't want to carry so many things. I only need you, as long as I have a couple for the rest of my life......" His eyes were red, almost roaring: "But, I can have the world, but I can never have you again!" ”
He has always refused to accept a concubine, because he doesn't want to lose her and his promise in Red Leaf Peak. He knew that once he had another woman, he would no longer be entitled to have her, and even if he died, he could not blaspheme her. But now, he finally had to break her and his promise.
Yan Ran choked hard in her throat and almost suffocated, but the pain in her heart rushed out of her eyes and trickled down. All along, she always thought that she was just a sister and brother affection for him, but when he said that he wanted to take a concubine, the bitterness and sense of loss at that moment shocked her. It turns out that she is not completely ruthless towards him! However, she can't admit this kind of affection herself, let alone admit it to him.
She can't live up to her brother Tairan, and she can't live up to her promise to the queen.
She sobbed and said, "I have never ignored your feelings, but...... I've lost many, many things, so I don't dare to expect too much from myself. All I want is a simple and peaceful happiness. I am like the most silent grass on the earth...... And you, are the days of many people. Minglang, you can also be my god, so that I can look up at you as soon as I look up, isn't it great? ”
"I can't give you simple tranquility, can Xie Tairan give it?"
Yanran nodded: "Perhaps...... He can give. ”
Minglang looked at him sadly: "Actually, we are very similar, I just need a simple and quiet happiness, Lianhuatang, you and me...... Hateful fate can't be left to me. Okay, I'll be your God, but it must be your God, otherwise, I will overturn this world and catch you in my hands! ”
Yanran felt pain in her heart, and couldn't help gasping, Minglang hurriedly hugged her in her arms and smoothed her back.
Yanran leaned on his arms, stroked his red eyes, and said softly: "Tomorrow, you are the king of a country, and you must have the majesty of a king." These days, you shed too many tears, remember to apply ice chips to your eyelids before going to bed, you can remove redness......"
"I know, you rest first. Tomorrow evening, I will come to eat with you. ”
"If you want to have a concubine, don't come here......"
Minglang interrupted her: "No, this is the only right I insist on." If you don't want to, I won't take a concubine!" ”
Yanran sighed.
Minglang was afraid that she would still have heartache, so he asked her to lie down and said, "I'm leaving." You hurry up and go to sleep, I will let Qinglian call you on time. He folded the quilt for her: "If I can accompany you like this for the rest of my life, it is also good." ”
Yanran closed her eyes. Minglang stood silently for a while before leaving.
Listening to the sound of his footsteps disappear, her tears finally rolled down.
At three o'clock, Qinglian Momei woke up Yanran. After washing, together with Youlan and Bai Shao, dress up for her. The clothes of the Shangyi Bureau have been delivered, and there is a large box of gold and silver jewelry. Yan Ran saw that it was a purple women's court dress. She was a little surprised, purple was the second most noble color in the palace after bright yellow, and it was generally only used by the queen. Could it be that the customs of Chimelong Country are different from those of Yuezhao Country?
She asked Qinglian, but Qinglian shook her head and didn't know. They only knew how to dress her up as the prince had instructed. Yan Ran had to swallow her doubts and toss with them.
After a whole hour, the four of them dressed up Yanran properly, and before they had time to look in the mirror, there was an attendant to inform them, saying that the ceremony began in the main hall of the palace, Longxuan Palace, and they must first go to the side hall of Longxuan Palace to wait.
Yan Ran didn't even eat breakfast, she was carried by four maids, and she went to Longxuan Palace without touching her feet, and sat down in a side hall to wait. I only saw people coming and going in front of the hall, and their footsteps were in a hurry, all of them were busy for the ceremony.
Yan Ran sat for a while, and her neck was sore because of the phoenix crown on her head, so she turned her head to the left side for a while, and to the right side for a while. If she had known that Minglang's "dress" was so terrible, not only would she have to wear five or six layers of clothes, but also bring a phoenix crown weighing more than ten catties, and she would not have agreed to kill her. She can pretend to be sick and lie on the bed and eat melon seeds to study the "Poison Sutra"!
was annoyed, a chamberlain hurriedly came in, bowed down and offered a plate of snacks to Yan Ran, saying that it was specially ordered by the official family to send it.
They have changed their name to call him "official".
He must have expected that she hadn't eaten breakfast, and he didn't forget to bring snacks in his busy schedule. Yan Ran sighed in her heart and ate all the pastries one by one.
At the end of the day, the bells and drums in the palace rang in unison, and the rui qi shone all over the place. Minglang was dressed bare, sat in the front hall of Longxuan Palace, and accepted the worship of officials at all levels in the palace and the people watching the ceremony in the square in front of the palace. After the worship, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu invited to the main hall of Longxuan Palace to ascend to the throne and become the emperor. Immediately, the drums played in unison, and officials at all levels took turns to kneel and bow nine times. The whole process took an hour and a half.
At three o'clock, as a rule, the new emperor issued an edict. The ministers waited to listen to the new emperor's new decision, but they knew that the praise official opened his mouth, but he read an edict to give the seal: Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Ji's Yanran daughter, deep strategy, wisdom and ingenuity, was named the lord of the town and county, announced to the world, and the salty envoy heard about it. Chin this!
Everyone inside and outside the hall looked at each other, and the first edict of the new emperor turned out to be a blessing! It turned out to be a county lord who gave the title! Who is this lord of the town?
Yan Ran in the side hall was also shocked: The county lord of the town country? What is the Lord of the Town? He actually made me the lord of Zhenguo? Didn't she dress like this to congratulate him on his accession to the throne? She stood stupidly, touching the purple clothes on her body, and gradually understood in her mind that he had already arranged it.
The chamberlain came to urge the county lord to go out and ascend to the throne and accept the worship.
Yan Ran's mind was blank, but the situation did not allow her to hesitate and resist, and the four maids who had been prepared supported her left and right, huddled behind her, and came out of the side hall. Walk through the wide corridor in front of the hall, walk in front of the black crowd in the square, and come to the main hall of Longxuan Palace, the bright right side.
On the square, there were three or four thousand officials from all over the country, as well as the envoys who watched the ceremony in the moonlight and the heavenly sky, and they saw a slender woman in a high-crowned purple dress fluttering by, and her beautiful complexion was like the morning sun, illuminating everyone's eyes.
Emperor Xuanyuan, who was dressed in bright yellow, couldn't see his expression behind the crown on his head, but she could feel his eyes, and his gaze hadn't left her since she appeared.
Emperor Xuanyuan had a purple chair under the steps on his right, and the chamberlain brought her to sit down. Her position was only one step below Emperor Xuanyuan, right under his nose. In front of everyone's eyes, she felt extremely uneasy.
The praise officer shouted: "The lord of the town and the county is elevated, worship!" ”
The big and small officials suddenly knelt on the ground again, and the cries of "see the county lord of the town and country" were like a sea of mountains. Yanran's legs were weak, and she just wanted to stand up. Minglang whispered, "Sit down, and you'll be fine right away." ”
She was a mess in her head at the moment, completely out of control. When he heard Ming Lang say this, he sat still obediently.
"Say no courtesy," reminded him clearly and in a whisper.
Yan Ran did like a wooden man: "No courtesy, flat body!" ”
The people of the whole place stood up together like listening to the sound of immortals. The people in the hall lowered their heads, although they really wanted to see the appearance of this county lord, but they were restrained by etiquette and could not satisfy their hearts. But the people outside the hall were much more relaxed, and the crowd tried to lean forward, tiptoeing to see her demeanor from afar. Among them, Qiu Wanli, the martial arts teacher of the new emperor, was even more excited. When he heard the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne, he immediately returned to the palace by starry night. But he didn't have a job, so he couldn't enter the main hall. Seeing Yanran's little girl sitting upright to accept everyone's worship from a distance, she couldn't help but be envious and afraid: fortunately she was not really demolished in Hongye Peak, otherwise he would have been full of people who didn't know if the little emperor would have demolished it.
Seeing that everything was in order, the official announced the successful conclusion of the enthronement ceremony. Yan Ran was like being pardoned, and her body was soaked with sweat for several layers.
At the end of the ceremony, the emperor retired first. Minglang got up from the dragon chair, walked down the steps and took Yan Ran's hand, Yan Ran was always stunned, and he pulled him to his side, and the two of them walked out of the main hall and walked away. The ministers in the hall were shocked and dropped their eyes......
