Chapter 118: Enthronement Ceremony
Northwest Battalion
The last emperor has died, the remnants of the previous dynasty have not become a climate, and the number of Ji Dynasty has been exhausted, and everyone gathered in one place to discuss the establishment of the country, and determined the name of the country as Zhao, which means light.
Halfway through, it was mentioned where to set the capital, and the ministers discussed a lot, until one of them proposed that the old capital go to Beijing, and the atmosphere was quiet for a while.
Three years ago, the king of the northwest led the generals to leave Shangjing, and the terrifying scene was still vivid, and everyone looked cautiously at the head of the people.
The man was dressed in light armor, plump and handsome, but now not many people dared to look directly at his appearance, and the momentum between his eyebrows was even more imposing than three years ago, only sitting at the head of the desk, and the whole room seemed to be shrouded in the man's coercion.
Qi Cun's face was cold: "Shangjing is really good." “
Everyone said, your expression really doesn't look like it's good.
It's just that he didn't say anything after that, after everyone discussed, the number of people who recommended going to Beijing was the largest, and in the final link, seeing that the king of the northwest did not object, he knew that he acquiesced, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Putting aside the past, coupled with the Ji Dynasty, Shangjing is already the ancient capital of the four dynasties, the geographical location is superior, and there is a heavy heritage, the capital here, it is more suitable.
The deliberations were carried out in an orderly manner, the articles of association were improved step by step, and everyone was excited, and the establishment of the capital was the great cause of thousands of generations, and many people dreamed of the ideal throughout the ages, and they were more and more glad that they had made up their minds to follow the prince.
One will talk about the excitement and can't help but take a step forward.
Qi Cun looked at him lightly.
The general was stunned for a moment, thinking that the prince did not like others to approach, so he retreated with interest and continued to make high-minded speeches.
Only Su Min, who was closer, knew the inside story.
He has a shrewd temperament, and has made a lot of useful suggestions to the prince in the past three years, standing out from many staff, and now he is a confidant of the king of the northwest.
The prince's seat faces south, and if you tilt your head slightly, you can see out the window.
The powerful people in Beijing like to move mountains and divert water in the house, covering everywhere, the northwest region is vast, the people here like the rough and heroic style, and there are many open spaces in the house.
As long as you look at it from the position of the prince, you can see the scene outside the window at a glance.
Just now, this stupid big man blocked the prince's view. Su Min didn't have a trace of strangeness on his face, and by lowering his head to drink tea, he glanced out, and sure enough, he saw a group of people putting paper kites in the open space not far from the window.
Among them, the most conspicuous is the beauty who is embraced in the middle, and in the sun, the hands, neck and face that are not visible in her coat are particularly white and delicate.
The northwest is windy, ordinary people walk outside unexpectedly and face the dust, such a willful wind meets the beauty is particularly affectionate, only gently brushing the broken hair on her jade white face, even the corners of the clothes are curled up in the arc.
Su Min was about to retract her gaze, but saw the beauty suddenly squatting down, and the corners of her skirt spread out like flowers.
Sure enough, in the next moment, he heard the prince at the top stand up and say, "That's all for today's discussion." “
The people below were stunned, but fortunately, the important matters had been resolved, and only some details remained, so they didn't think much about it and bowed out.
Su Min was the last, went out the door, walked out along the corridor, and at the last corner he inadvertently turned around, and saw that their wise and martial prince had walked up to his wife, squatted down and pressed on her feet, but picked the person up.
The local atmosphere is open, and the people around them silently squeeze their eyebrows when they see it, but the little beauty from the gentle township still can't let go, and shyly buries her face in the man's chest.
The two are very different in size, Qiao Yuan is held in his arms, and he is even more clean and delicate like a porcelain doll, the pink and white clothes are delicate and soft, covered with light armor that symbolizes tough force, how to look at it and how it doesn't match, but it is full of strange harmony.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind is blowing and the grass is low, and at this moment, no one believes that they will not be together forever.
Qiao Yuan broke her foot when she put the paper kite, Qi Cun carried her back to the house, took off her shoes and socks, and saw that her ankles were a little red and swollen, so she found medicinal oil and applied them.
The jade feet on his knees are snow-white and delicate, and they are also a little powdery, looking delicate and fragile.
Qi Cun suppressed the little beastly thoughts that popped up in his heart at this moment, and concentrated on pushing the medicinal oil away.
Qiao Yuan looked at the man crouching in front of her. He was tall, taller than her even when he squatted, like a hill, his shoulders were strong and broad, his big hands were still around her ankles, and the hot temperature of his palms melted into his flesh and bones little by little along the thin skin.
Qiao Yuan bit his lip and hesitated, "Are you going to be the emperor?" “
The little beauty was squeamish, it took a little strength to push away the medicinal oil, and it couldn't make her hurt, Qi Cun said casually: "Hmm." “
She stopped talking, and Qi Cun looked up in confusion.
The local characteristics are rich, the dress is very different from Shangjing, Qiao Yuan follows the local customs, part of the hair is mixed with colored silk ropes, braided into a delicate small braid, hanging on the thin shoulders, the jade face is snow-white, and it is incredibly beautiful.
Qiao Yuan hesitated, and said hesitantly: "Then you became the emperor...... Will it still be as good to me as it is now? “
The emperor is the co-lord of the world, with the greatest power and respectful status, and when the time comes, she will not be able to call him with peace of mind like now.
Qi Cun didn't expect her to think about it for so long to come up with such a thing.
Her slender and thick eyelashes trembled uneasily, and such a fragile little beauty seemed to be able to blow it down in one breath, and Qi Cun couldn't help but get closer.
"If you know I'm good to you, why don't you do what I asked you to do at night?"
Qiao Yuan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, his cheeks flushed, and he glared angrily: "I'll talk to you about serious things!" “
Every time he stays with her for less than half an hour, he has to reveal his true nature, and he should really let the group of men who admire him see what the real Northwest King looks like.
Qi Cun said stupidly: "Originally, I begged you many times and refused." “
Seeing that the little beauty was about to be annoyed and angry again, he quickly reined in: "Of course it will." “
He leaned in to kiss her, his dark eyes were deep, "It doesn't matter if I am the emperor or not, I will be good to you." “
Qi Cun said seriously, Qiao Yuan's fingertips buttoned the patterns on his clothes, thinking that Qiao's mother solemnly told her in the letter that this time is different from the past, and in the future, she can't be as presumptuous as before in front of Qi Cun, and the majesty of the emperor cannot be provoked.
It's so troublesome, the little beauty has lived a peaceful life in the northwest for three years, but I didn't expect that her head is about to grow big now.
For a while, she complained about why Qi Cun wanted to be this emperor, did she want to please him like an ordinary concubine in the future.
But she is not ignorant, the situation was turbulent at that time, even if they were in a safe corner, it was difficult to guarantee that others would not take the initiative to calculate, and the situation would be even worse at that time.
Qi Cun has this talent, and the people also need someone to lead them to end this vicious war, and only when Qi Cun becomes this emperor can he do it once and for all.
Thinking about it, he didn't know who to blame, so Qiao Yuan had no choice but to glare at Qi Cun.
The pampered little appearance is simply 108,000 miles away from what Qiao's mother told in the letter.
Qi Cun was stared at inexplicably, seeing that the little beauty had watery eyes, her hands were obediently propped up on the couch, and she thought she was asking for a kiss, so she leaned over and kissed her, but was pushed away in disgust.
The day of departure for Shangjing is approaching, and the packed boxes and cages can be seen everywhere, waiting to be carried into the carriage, and the house is also full of joy.
Qiao Yuan has lived in this place for three years, and when he first came, he was not used to it, and now he feels reluctant to leave.
This is a completely different scenery from the bustling Shangjing, there are not so many banquets, but it is not boring at all, and it has its own unique customs.
Qi Cun saw that she was sitting in the carriage and had to open the curtain from time to time to look out, as if she would never see her again, and couldn't help laughing: "Like here? “
Qiao Yuan nodded honestly.
Together, we are in a good mood.
Except for the first two years when he first joined the army, he was stationed in the northwest as the whereabouts of the troops were uncertain.
He grew up here, went to the battlefield to kill Hu Nu, made meritorious contributions, and it can be said that before he went to Beijing to meet Qiao Yuan, the northwest was his home.
He loves the little beauty a lot, and often feels that he will spend less time with her, and he can't wait to be the first to hug her when she is born, and then the two of them will experience life and death together.
Now when I hear Qiao Yuan say that I like it, it is as if I was a lonely teenager and also received comfort from the depths of distant time, and the two time and space empathize at a certain moment.
Qi Cun hugged her tightly: "If we have a chance in the future, we can come back to live." “
Qiao Yuan only regarded him as a comforter, if he became the emperor, he would have a lot of opportunities, where could he leave the palace for a long time.
The carriage was knocked.
Qi Cun lifted the curtain and brought a wooden box from outside.
Qiao Yuan opened, "This is...... Naan? “
Naan is a local specialty, made from baked bread and filled with dried fruits and preserved meat.
But the naan in the box is almost three times the size of the usual food, and there are intricate patterns of flowers and several colorful sauces on top.
Qi Cun explained: "The grandma next door saw that we were leaving and had nothing to give, so she made this for us. “
What should this piece of naan cake have a special meaning, Qiao Yuan has been here for three years, and has eaten all kinds of styles, but she has never seen this, she looked at Qi Cun inquisitively.
Qi Cun suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, and lowered his voice in her ear: "This style of naan is usually taken out and eaten on the night of candles in the newcomer's cave room. “
Qiao Yuan's face flushed, no wonder she hadn't seen it.
Qi Cun continued, "The custom here is that when the groom and the bride eat the first bite of naan, whoever eats more will be the one who will be in charge of the family in the future. “
His voice was low, with a sultry flavor in the enclosed compartment space.
Qi Cun was full of interest, "Let's eat." “
He is about to become an emperor, Qiao Yuan hesitated, and said humbly: "You can invite it first." “
Qi Cun blinked, "Okay." “
He wrapped the naan in oiled paper and picked it up from the box, and the aroma of drying spread through the carriage.
Qiao Yuan felt that he was definitely going to lose, the little beauty had beautiful lips and ruddy lips, but she was just a fancy shelf, she couldn't eat much, and every time the leftovers were saved and solved.
Qi Cun brought the naan to his mouth.
Qiao Yuan looked at him nervously.
In the quiet carriage, all the movement seems to be displayed in front of you at a slow speed.
The light was blocked by the carriage, and it looked hazy when it shone in.
Qi Cun's eyes were rare pure black, like a ball of ink, thick and bottomless, but when he glanced at the little beauty, the ink seemed to melt away, making people clearly see the smile under his eyes, which was pure joy.
He was almost religious, carefully, gently sipping off a bit of crust.
How small is it, and the rest of the naan can be said to be almost intact.
Qiao Yuan felt the man touch her lips lightly in a daze. "From now on, your family will be your master, Queen Mother."
The enthronement hall and the sealing ceremony were carried out together.
Qi Cun knew that the little beauty was delicate and expensive and could not stand it, and the ceremony was cumbersome, so he asked people to make the phoenix crown as light as possible, but even after simplification, the crown was still inlaid with jewels and jade, and it was gorgeous and incomparable.
The phoenix robe was gorgeous and heavy, and then Qiao Yuan couldn't walk anymore, and looked at Qi Cun with tears in his eyes.
Baiguan knelt all over the ground, and few people on the left and right dared to really stare at them, Qi Cun stretched out his hand to support her waist, and the two walked the whole way hand in hand.
The wide court dress silently conceals the secret ambiguity that belongs to the lover alone.
The palace is majestic, after several dynasties of wind and rain, I have never seen such a strange and warm scene for hundreds of years.
When he returned to the dormitory, Qiao Yuan took off his phoenix robe and put on a comfortable Luo skirt, and asked people to take off the phoenix crown, and the white and tender forehead was indeed pressed out with red marks.
The palace people waited outside the hall, and the purple gold beast in the hall swallowed cigarettes, and a wisp of white mist dispersed, covering the luxurious and expensive furnishings with a layer of dim light veil.
The roaring salute came from outside the sky, Qiao Yuan woke up in a daze, opened his wet beautiful eyes, and subconsciously tilted his head.
The body temperature behind him is hot and real, and the iron arm is as always wrapped around the soft and white waist, embedded too well, as if it has been like this since ancient times, the beast carefully cares for the delicate flowers in the palm of the palm, a little bit carefully with love and coquettishness, thousands of years, finally got what he wanted.
She stared out the window for too long, and the man behind her turned her face dissatisfied.
Qiao Yuanyu's eyelashes were wet, stained with tears, and she couldn't fall, and the night pearl on the top of the tent exuded a soft halo, swaying and falling into the dilated pupils, making people's consciousness more and more as if soaked in warm water.
Qi Cun's eyes were soft, and he leaned down to hold her lips, "In the future, we will be born together and die in the same coffin." “
Even death can't separate the two. The man's shoulders were too broad, and Qiao Yuan's arms were weak and he could barely hold them.
Today's celebration is so important that the Ministry of Rites is eager to organize it perfectly, and even the fireworks at the celebration are the efforts of hundreds of excellent craftsmen, such as perfect works of art.
Once ignited, the sparks continued to accumulate strength and climb in the night sky, as if they were determined to let people see a magnificent feast like never before.
When the fireworks outside the hall climbed to the peak and bloomed with amazing magnificence, Qiao Yuan softly wrapped his arms around Qi Cun's neck and kissed him back.
