I didn't expect that I inserted so many people to quietly enter the selection of horses, but she was secretly kicked out step by step.

The two newcomers slowly appeared in front of the main hall, and all the relatives of the emperor and the country in the main hall who were still talking and laughing were sitting in a precarious position, stretching their necks to look at the eldest princess and her concubine who would inherit the throne in the future.

If nothing else, the two of them will be the Venerable Ones above all the ten thousand people in this country in the future.

The empress nodded with satisfaction, the two stepped on the red carpet, step by step, and stopped in front of the female officials on both sides of the throne, the empress in the high place overlooked them, and she was wearing a particularly grand dress today, with a golden carving and a long robe of Huang Fengling draped on her body, the makeup was rich and magnificent, and the green silk was full of golden hairpins, graceful and luxurious, showing the domineering spirit of the empress.

The female official held the holy decree in her hand, and in front of everyone's eyes, spread out, and her loud and high-pitched voice sounded, "Salute-"

Lan Qing and Jiang Rin kept their hands tightly together and slowly bowed to the empress.

"Tea ceremony—"

The maidservant stepped forward and served Jiang Rin a freshly brewed new tea, Jiang Rin reached out and picked up a cup, raised it and saluted the empress, and the female official went up the steps and handed it to the empress.

The empress took a sip, raised the corners of her mouth, smiled, and raised her hand, "Reward!" ”

After speaking, the maidservants were familiar with the way and carried the dowries of the eldest princess of various colors in batches, and followed behind the two of them, in several rows.

"Perform three kneels and nine bows—"

Jiang Rin and Lan Qing glanced at each other, and cautiously the two knelt down together, leaning down slightly, and were about to bow their heads at the moment when they knelt down-

Lan Qing took the lead and straightened up suddenly, and the bead curtain that covered her face shook violently with this action.

It was too late, it was too fast, and a long arrow roared from outside the door, slashing through the gap between Lan Qing and Jiang Rin, and shooting straight at the hollow golden peacock in the middle of the steps on both sides of the throne.

"Not good! There are assassins! ”

I don't know who shouted in panic among the royal relatives and nobles, and everyone on the spot got up in a panic, and they didn't have time to worry too much, so they planned to run outside.

The Empress was also frightened and immediately stood up, but she did not panic too much, and immediately ordered, "Come on, close the door quickly!" ”

The eunuchs quickly ran to the door and closed it completely,

The empress stood on a high position, overlooking the chaos of the guests below, and roared domineeringly, "Calm me down!" ”

"Where are the guards?"

An upright and armoured guard in the crowd stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Please give the Empress the order!" ”

"Find out for me! Who is so bold?! The empress was furious, her red lips pursed, her heroic brows tightened, and her hands brushed her sleeves fiercely.

The scene settled down in time, but fortunately, the people who tried to disrupt the ceremony did not seem to have any further planning, and there was no further movement, and the imperial guards were ordered to immediately bring in troops to investigate outside.

The grand celebration was poured with cold water at once, and everyone lost the same interest as before.

Through the bead curtain, Lan Qing's expression was faintly invisible, Jiang Rin just felt that there was a momentary force in the hands that overlapped with Lan Qing just now.

She was...... Nervous? Or is it something else?

After that, the process passed quickly, and the empress was in an angry mood and it was not good to affect the eldest princess and the concubine, so she gave a serious advice, and let the two of them, who had worked hard for a long time, return to the East Palace.

On the way back, there were more people escorting the two than when they came, but this time, the two took the same sedan chair.
