Chapter 102: The Ceremony After the Seal
Knowing that the emperor was still reviewing the folds late at night, Zhang Yue whispered to Xiaotong,
"I'll wait here for Your Majesty, you go to sleep."
Zhang Yue took out a copy of "Tang and Song Poems" and looked at it.
Just after the ugly hour, the door opened gently, and a yellow figure flashed into the dormitory, Zhu Youzhu was surprised to find that there was a small lamp in the dormitory, and a shadow was reading at night.
"You're back!" Zhang Yue put down the book in his hand, walked quickly to Zhu Youjiao, and helped him remove the jade crown and coat.
Zhu Youzhu frowned slightly, "Yue'er, why are you still restless at night?" ā
"IāI've slept for a while, and when I woke up and saw that you hadn't come back yet, I thought...... Waiting for you to come back! ā
Zhu Youzhu stroked Zhang Yue's cheek, "Don't be so stupid next time, if I don't come back overnight, do you have to wait all night?" ā
Zhang Yue gently wrapped his arms around Zhu Youjiao's waist, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that you have so many affairs today, and you have wasted so much precious time, so that you can't sleep at night and deal with delayed state affairs." ā
The corner of Zhu Youzhang's lips gently kissed the corner of Zhang Yue's mouth, "Silly girl, accompanying you to do what you like is my greatest happiness!" Nothing is more important than you! ā
Zhang Yue's voice was a little choked, "I don't care, you promise me, if you are still so busy next time, you are not allowed to accompany me by my temperament." Seeing you stay up all night so hard, I, I feel distressed. ā
Zhu Youzhu hugged Zhang Yue tightly in his arms, "Okay, promise you, promise you." Now you can sleep. ā
Zhang Yue responded in a low voice, Zhu Youzhu picked up Zhang Yue, gently put her on the bed, and after covering her with the quilt, he just turned around to leave, when a pair of hands suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
He turned around and saw Zhang Yue's face a little red, "Don't, don't go." ā
Zhu Youjiao's eyes were deep, he was stunned, took off his boots, opened the quilt and lay next to Zhang Yue.
The two were silent for a while, and Zhang Yue whispered as if explaining, "That couch is hard and cold, you work so hard, or, it's still comfortable and warm on the bed....." The voice behind it was too low to be heard, because half of Zhang Yue's face was almost hidden in the quilt.
Zhu Youzhu looked at the ceiling and said softly, "Hmm! ā
After a while, Zhang Yue's steady breathing came from beside him. Only then did Zhu Youzhu turn around slightly, and slowly pulled down the corner of the quilt that covered Zhang Yue's face, revealing a delicate sleeping face, Zhu Youzhang's black eyes became deeper and deeper, like a lake bathed in the afternoon sun. Zhang Yue's lips unconsciously pulled up a smile in her sleep, and her red lips opened slightly, as if inviting people to taste. Zhu Youzhu looked at the person on the bed stupidly, and his eyes were dyed with a gentle and doting look.....
The bright moon outside the window is in the sky, and the years are quiet.

A few days later, Zhu Youzhu returned to the palace and gave Zhang Yue a small brocade box, Zhang Yue opened it and saw that it was a seal engraved with Zhen Zhiqi's name, which was very exquisite and pleasantly surprised.
Xiao Jing said beside him, "Niangniang, this is engraved for you by His Majesty!" ā
Zhang Yue looked at Zhu Youzhu with emotion, "The emperor will also carve!" It's so nicely carved! ā
Zhu Youzhu chuckled, "Do you like it?" ā
"I like it!"
Zhu Youzhu glanced at Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing immediately took out a scroll from behind him when he heard this, and after unfolding it on the bookcase, he said with a smile, "Respectfully ask Niangniang to seal it!" ā
Zhang Yue saw that it was her own work that day, and she said in surprise, "Why did you come back to me again?" ā
Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Yue with a smile, "It's originally your work!" How could I let her be left out. ā
Zhang Yue smiled gratefully, then dipped the seal in the ink, and said with a smile while dropping the seal, "By the way, Your Majesty, I have long wanted to ask you, why did you name me Zhen Zhiqi?" ā
Zhu Youzhu smiled slyly, "Can't guess? ā
Zhang Yue scratched his head, "Zhen Zhiqi, Zhen Zhiqi, do you mean that I am strange?" Zhen Zhiqi, I.... The wife... Scare! ā
Zhang Yue instantly blushed, and Zhu Youzhu smiled knowingly.
Xiao Jing said next to him, "Niangniang, Your Majesty has included your Mobao in the palace this time, and it is rumored that the words of Zhen Zhiqi, the leader of the golden pen, have been appreciated by the saints today, and now the literati and writers in the capital are talking about the origin of Zhen Zhiqi?" There are also calligraphy and painting shops in the capital that buy your ink treasure at a high price. ā
Zhang Yue exclaimed, "It's really fake!" Ah Jing, what you said is so pompous! If that's the case, wouldn't I have an extra way to make money! ā
Zhu Youzhu admired the work and said, "Yue'er writes so well! ā
Zhang Yue smiled shyly. The atmosphere in the hall was very harmonious.
On the second day, Zhang Yue played together, wrote a few words in the name of Zhen Zhiqi, and asked Xiaotong to secretly take out the palace and sell them anonymously, and a few words were sold for a high price. For a while, there were many fakes written by Zhen Zhiqi's impostors in the capital, and the calligraphy and painting market was confused about the real and fake. I heard that someone actually poured all his family property in order to collect Zhen Zhiqi's words, but he accepted a fake. The heroine was dumbfounded when she heard it, and she didn't dare to pass on the work again. After a long time, Zhen Zhiqi's turmoil subsided.
People slowly forgot about Zhen Zhiqi, who had never seen a real person, and only Zhu Youzhu occasionally teased Zhang Yue.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Finally arrived on the day of Zhang Yue's post-sealing ceremony.
In the early morning, Zhang Yue, under the service of the palace people, wore the queen's Zhai clothes, wore a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, tied a jade leather belt around his waist, and wore a big belt, a big ribbon, a jade pendant and other ornaments. Her face was decorated with extremely bright makeup, and the whole person looked extremely noble.
The ceremony was held in the Taihe Palace. As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Zhang Yue was led to the front of the Taihe Hall by the celebrant and the ceremonial officer of the Ministry of Rites, on the golden dragon throne on the hall, Zhu Youzhu was wearing a crown dress and sitting in the middle, and on the smooth and white face behind the twelve beads of the crown, a pair of dark and bright eyes emitted a dazzling light, and the body exuded the noble momentum of the king, which made people dare not look directly, and the civil and military officials knelt down on both sides of the hall. Zhang Yue slowly walked to the center of the hall and knelt down.
Standing not far from Zhu Youzhang, Li Dongyang, who was wearing a court robe, glanced at Zhang Yue with satisfaction, then opened the holy decree in his hand and solemnly read it,
ā...... Zhang, the eldest daughter of Zhang Luan, is virtuous and dignified, virtuous and gentle, beautiful and soft, when I lived in the East Palace, the first emperor was named the prince and concubine. Its appearance and virtue have won the sacred heart, and it can really be the mother of the world. I hereby follow the order of the Queen Mother, with the golden book of Jinbao, Lier as the queen. Erqi only inherits Yi training, frugality to rate the six palaces, benevolence to be blessed. Chin!"
Zhang Yue praised in his mouth, "Concubine Zhang's thank the emperor for his holy grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ā
Immediately, according to the steps of the previous master of ceremonies, he gave Zhu Youzhu three bows and nine bows.
"The queen is exempt." From the hall came Zhu Youjiao's pleasant and majestic voice.
Zhang Yue stood up and looked at the hall, Zhu Youzhu stood up, stretched out his right hand, and looked at her with firm and expectant eyes.
Zhang Yue then walked up the stairs slowly, came to Zhu Youzhang's side, grabbed Zhu Youzhang's outstretched right hand, and turned to stand beside him. The two proudly looked down at His Royal Highness's ministers, who knelt on the ground one after another, and the mountain shouted long live, and the sound was deafening and enduring.
