[The tenth day of the second month of the tenth year of Daqian Jingyi, noon, Xingqing Palace of Chang'an City]

On the third day after the world was restored, Chang'an City ushered in another good news, Emperor Li Xi was going to marry Murong Yan, the eldest lady of the former Tianbao Pavilion, today. As soon as the news came out, the entire Chang'an City was jubilant again, and in the streets and alleys, regardless of men, women, old and young, everyone was talking about the emperor's marriage. Everyone's face was filled with joy and excitement, as if the emperor was going to marry not an ordinary human woman, but a fairy who descended from the heavenly palace. For the common people, the combination of the Son of Heaven and the fairy of the Heavenly Realm is naturally a great gift from God to mankind.

At this moment, a round of rising sun still rises from the east, hanging high above the clouds, and the dazzling sunlight illuminates Chang'an City exceptionally brightly. Houses, terraces, tiles, and stone-paved pavements were flooded with golden sunlight. People walk in the warm sunshine, all of them are calm, their faces are happy, they say hello to each other, and they smile from face to face...... Moistened by the sun and rain, this great city has been revitalized.

The Xingqing Palace was even more jubilant, and almost all the originally limited materials in the palace were taken out and used in this post-book ceremony. The entire palace has been cleaned overnight, every corner has been cleaned, and every wall has been freshly painted. The red carpet has been spread from the Zichen Hall to the gate of Xingqing Palace. All the walls, doors, columns, and walls are decorated with bright red silk cloth. On both sides of the trail and under the Danqi, there are many guards of honor to welcome relatives, and all the civil and military officials are gathered in the Zichen Palace. A gust of wind blew all kinds of colorful flags to hunt in the wind, and the strange fragrance wafted inside and outside the main hall...... Since the demonization of the world, it is the first time that Xingqing Palace has been so lively.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Murong Yan sat on the imperial chariot specially sent by the emperor to greet her, surrounded by the welcoming team, and went out of Liquanfang and went straight to Xingqing Palace.

Hu Yiyi and Yiqing were supposed to accompany them, but Murong Yan resolutely refused to allow them. The women had no choice but to say goodbye to her with tears, and watched her sit on the chariot, and as soon as the coachman raised his whip, the carriage drove away......

Escorted by the guard of honor, the carriage moved slowly eastward. Almost all the people in the city have gone out, and they are all standing on both sides of the road, vying to see the queen's face. Li Ci also sent a court band with a large number of people, and the sound of gongs and drums and suona was heard all the way...... This grand wedding, which was watched by tens of thousands of onlookers, can be described as unprecedented.

The people watched from afar, and under the red silk cloth cover, they only vaguely saw a slender woman sitting in the car. As for what the woman in the car looks like, what her body shape is, and how old she is, no one can see clearly. The people of Chang'an, who like to be lively, couldn't help but talk about it when they saw this:

"Do you know where this Miss Murong came from?"

"Of course I know, she is the eldest lady of Tianbao Pavilion before, and I heard that she is still the first beauty in Chang'an City!"

"'The first beauty in Chang'an'? no wonder, the emperor will take a fancy to her!"

"That's natural! I heard that when the emperor was still the prince of Jin, he already fell in love with Miss Murong! It's just that the king of Jin at that time came to the door several times to ask for marriage, but Miss Murong refused. Unexpectedly, this eldest lady finally agreed to this family business!"

"The situation is different! Back then, King Jin was just a prince, but now, King Jin is our long live lord! After Miss Murong entered the palace, she became the queen from now on, and her mother is in the world!"

"Ahem! I can't imagine that a person like Miss Murong, in the end, still values the status of the queen. ”

"That's for sure! Now, all the monsters are dead. In the future, the whole world will belong to us. Think about it, this queen's title, what woman in the world can refuse?"

"Yes, oh! I heard that our emperor is still a beautiful man, and he is already in his forties, and he still looks like he is in his early twenties! On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor personally went to Dongshi to comfort the people. The second girl next door to my house, when she saw the emperor's appearance, she quarreled with her father when she returned home and wanted to enter the palace to be a palace maid!"

"Hey, if I were a woman, I would also like to marry the emperor! Then again, our Long Live Lord is really infatuated! He has not been married in the past ten years, just waiting to marry Miss Murong into the palace today!"

......

Murong Yan sat in the emperor's carriage, but she turned a deaf ear to the noise of the people outside the window. She had only one thought in her heart, Brother Innocent, are you okay now? I don't know if the emperor can fulfill his promise last night and put you home this afternoon. If he doesn't keep his promise, then I'll ...... Forced to die!

After half an hour, the big red imperial chariot finally slowly entered the gate of Xingqing Palace, and did not stop until outside the Zichen Palace. Song Jinhua, the chief administrator of the capital, personally led the guards to welcome relatives and respectfully welcomed Murong Yan into the Zichen Palace.

The world has been demonized for a long time, and the so-called "civil and military hundred officials" under Li Ci are actually only about 30 people, and there is not a single official who originally belonged to the Ministry of Rites. Regarding the canonization ceremony of the queen and the corresponding etiquette process, the emperor's ministers are not very clear. In addition, the Son of Heaven is eager to marry a wife, and the time is so rushed, with this so-called emperor and queen marriage ceremony, everything is just a temporary plan. It's more like a messy party than a grand post-album ceremony.

At this moment, seeing that Murong Yan had slowly entered the Zichen Palace, Li Xi immediately got up and left his dragon chair and walked quickly towards Murong Yan. The ministers saw that his face was full of joy, and his mouth was already smiling from ear to ear, and he couldn't wait to step forward immediately, and he was about to hug Murong Yan......

The ministers lined up on both sides of the main hall all showed surprised faces when they saw that the emperor had left the dragon chair and walked to the palace door in person to greet him. The ministers had to all get up and leave their seats, and they all followed the emperor to the palace gate.

Li Xi walked up to Murong Yan, couldn't help but hold her small hands, and said happily, "Miss Murong, you're here!"

Murong Yan pulled out her hands and asked first, "What about General Xu, when did you release him?"

Li Ci smiled: "Don't worry, in three hours, I will release him immediately!"

Murong Yan turned around and looked outside the hall, she looked up at the sky, it was noon, the sun was in the sky, the sky was cloudless, and there seemed to be a sweet smell in the air.

In the nine and a half years that the world has been demonized, she has barely taken a single breath. Covered in black smoke and poisonous dust, the air was filled with bitter and unpleasant smells. Usually, they need to wear masks when they go out, and if they go out of the city, they dare not open their mouths. At this time, Murong Yan breathed in the moist air around her, she smelled the sweetness in the air, but she suddenly felt a pain in her heart.

"Brother Innocent, Yan'er got married today, I want to lead me into the main hall The person who led me into the hall is you!" Murong Yan's cheeks, I don't know when, two tears have rolled down.

"Miss Murong, the ceremony will start soon, the ministers are waiting, please!" Li Ci next to him, stretched out his right hand and urged.

Murong Yan had no choice but to reach out and wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and step into the center of the main hall.

The hall has already prepared incense cases, red candles and other things, and the celebrant has also bowed down to stand beside the incense case. All the civil and military officials stood on both sides, waiting for the emperor to bow to her, and then the palace attendants read out the edict loudly.

Murong Yan walked into the hall step by step, and every step she took, her heart was like a knife......

At this time, out of nowhere, there was a melodious flute sound, although the flute sound was not very beautiful, but the person who played the flute seemed to have deep internal strength, and the flute sound penetrated the roof beam far away, and everyone in the whole hall could hear it clearly.

"Jinhua, what kind of flute are you playing at this time? Go and see, which musician is so careless?" Li Ci turned to face Song Jinhua, who was following behind, and said with a cold face.

"Yes, I'll go and see......" Song Jinhua answered, and was about to go to inquire, but after thinking about it, no, there is no one in our court band to play the flute?

The sound of the flute was getting closer and closer, and it was blowing louder and louder, and when Murong Yan heard it, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and she immediately turned around and ran outside the hall. Sure enough, outside the main hall, a young man suddenly slowly floated down from the roof. Others are in the air, playing the jade flute, and a dark robe is flying in the wind, like a god descending from the sky......

I saw that person, thirty years old, more than seven feet long, with a clear complexion, not angry and self-righteous, with a tall posture and outstanding demeanor, similar to the abyss and mountains, the breath is like a bright glow, and the posture of the dragon and phoenix, the table of the eyes of the sky!

"Second brother!" Murong Yan hurriedly ran in front of Murong Huan and exclaimed in surprise. The person who came was none other than Murong Huan, the second son of Tianbao Pavilion in the past, who was known as "unparalleled in the world of martial arts".

"Third sister, the second brother is a step too late, and you have been wronged...... Murong Huan took a step forward, took his sister into his arms, patted her shoulder, and comforted her softly.

"It's not too late, it's not too late!, the second brother came just in time!" Murong Yan threw herself into her brother's arms, and couldn't help it, and she cried with joy......

"Bold thief! Dare to break into the palace gate and disturb the ceremony, do you know that what you have committed is a capital crime?!" I don't know which minister it was, but at this time, he shouted loudly at Murong Huan.

Li Ci smiled bitterly and looked at the minister's queue, and knew without guessing that the minister who shouted must have never known Murong Huan's name.

And the person who shouted was also very puzzled in his heart, he looked at the other civil and military officials in the queue, including Song Jinhua, the chief administrator of the capital who was in charge of the ceremony, and Shen Huan, the governor of the Tsing Yi Guard, who was famous as the Beijing Division, and even Sun Shunde, the prime minister who was like a fire, was silent at this time. Everyone didn't dare to speak in the face of this "uninvited guest". He immediately felt that there must be something strange in this, and he couldn't help but regret that he had just lost his words......

"It turned out that the eldest brother was here! When the eldest brother arrived in Chang'an, why didn't he send someone to inform him?" I might as well go out of the city to greet him personally!" Li Xi walked in front of Murong Huan and said with a smile.

"Who is your eldest brother?" Murong Huan raised his head, and two solemn gazes shot straight into Li Xi's eyes.

At this time, Murong Huan just stood quietly outside the palace gate, he didn't have any expression on his face at all, but his whole body exuded a king's breath. That kind of breath is just like a handsome dragon standing alone in the world, and a lonely phoenix soaring proudly in Huanyu, which makes Li Ci seem to be out of breath......

Li Ci couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look directly at Murong Huan's eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Murong City Lord, you came just in time! Today is the wedding ceremony between me and Ling Mei, after today, Murong City Lord is my eldest brother, we are all a family......

"Hahaha! This marriage event has always been the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and now that Xiao Yan's parents are no longer alive, I am her only relative. You want to marry my sister, have you asked me if I agree?" Murong Huan sneered.

"Presumptuous! Who dares to be so rude in front of the emperor! Take it with me left and right!" At this time, a group of guards hurriedly ran over outside the hall, and the captain of the guard who led the team saw that someone dared to be so arrogant and rude in front of the saint, and immediately shouted. It can be seen that the captain of the guard has not only never seen Murong Huan, but also must be in charge of guarding the palace gate on a regular basis, and is an extremely responsible leader of the guard.

Li Ci glanced at the captain of the guard, and reprimanded angrily: "Something that doesn't have long eyes, this is the famous Yanzhou City Lord, my eldest brother, why don't you apologize to Uncle Guo soon?!"

The captain of the guard was stunned when he heard this, he understood it, and immediately changed his good face, bowed down to Murong Huan and said, "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I don't know."

Uncle Guo is here, and I hope that Uncle Guo will forgive his sins, and forgive his sins will be a ......."

Murong Huan didn't even glance at the captain of the guard.

Li Ci said with a smile again: "Lord Murong City, the marriage between me and Ling Mei was discussed by the two of us, just because you are far away in Yanzhou, and it is inconvenient to communicate the message, so you didn't know until today." Originally, I had already thought about it, and after we got married, I would send someone to Yanzhou to inform my eldest brother's ...... of this happy event."

Murong Huan snorted coldly, turned his head to Murong Yan and asked softly, "Third sister, are you willing to marry him?"

Murong Yan shook her head.

"Let's go, let's go home!" Murong Huan took his sister's hand, turned around, and walked towards the palace gate.

At this moment, Li Xi's face was really a little unbearable. If ordinary people regret their marriage by the woman, they can't help but be angry and hold grudges. What's more, he is also a son of heaven, and now, being repented of in front of the world, how can he accept this kind of shame?

Li Ci turned around and glanced at Shen Huan, who was standing beside him. The meaning in that look is already very clear, the guards in the capital are all led by you, and your Tsing Yi guards are also dedicated to running errands for the Son of Heaven. Now that the Son of Heaven has been disgraced, how can I help me regain face? Who else can I give this matter to besides you?

Shen Huan, the new governor of Tsing Yiwei, was originally hiding in the queue and was reluctant to come out, but when he saw the emperor staring at him, he knew that he could no longer shirk it. He had no choice but to step out of the queue and fly in front of Murong Huan.

Shen Huan arched his hand to Murong Huan, tried his best to put on a smiling face, and said respectfully: "Lord Murong City, let's stay first, stay first! Let's have something to say! Today's post-book ceremony, the emperor has already announced to the world. Besides, Ling Mei also promised it in person yesterday, how can she say that she regrets it?"

Murong Huan said coldly: "If I don't want to talk to you well......" As he spoke, his feet still didn't stop, until Shen Huan retreated behind him step by step.

At this time, the previous captain of the guard had also loudly warned him, and a team of 100 people stationed in Xingqing Palace surrounded him, blocking Murong Huan's way.

However, wherever Murong Huan's body went, everyone didn't see how he made a move, and more than ten guards fell out from a distance. Later, the guards did not dare to approach Murong Huan within ten steps, each holding a spear in his hand, and surrounded his brother and sister from a distance.

When the captain of the guard saw this, no one would be able to stop Murong Huan from going out. In a hurry, without waiting for Shen Huan to order, he shouted loudly: "Archer, prepare!"

Immediately, there were more than ten archers, with bows and arrows, on the periphery of the palace city, aiming at the two Murong Huan brothers and sisters from a distance.

At the same time, I don't know who sent the message, and a team of 100 people rushed in outside the palace gate and joined the battle group.

Murong Huan's face changed slightly, he suddenly froze, and said word by word:

"Li Xi, don't force me to do it...... Kill you!"

Everyone saw that Murong Huan didn't seem to move his lips, but those few cold words slowly entered everyone's ears. The voice was slow and powerful, like an ice pick, piercing everyone's eardrums, and several timid ministers couldn't help but tremble with fright.

When Li Ci heard this, a chill also felt on his back. He had long heard that the martial arts of the young master of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion were almost invincible in the world, and he really did not want to be the enemy of the other party today. What's the matter, this Murong Huan doesn't take him seriously today. If this matter spreads, what face will he, the emperor, have to rule over hundreds of officials and rule the world in the future?

And at this moment, Shen Huan, as the number one master in the main hall, although he followed closely behind Murong Huan, he still didn't have the courage to attack.

Li Ci's heart is at war with heaven and man, the contradictions are abnormal, and he wants to make peace, but the other party is unwilling to make peace with you, and he wants to endure it, but he really can't bear this evil breath. For a while, the emperor was also stunned, and he really didn't know what to say.

Although the two hundred guards in the palace surrounded Murong Huan layer by layer, Murong Huan only treated them as if they were nothing.

At this moment, the two sides faced each other. Originally, if the ceremony was completed, the two families would have formed the most intimate relationship in the world. But at this moment, the arena was already tense, and the atmosphere was extremely tense! And most importantly, Murong Huan was still waiting for Li Ci's reply. If the emperor does not order the removal of the archers and the rest of the guards. God knows what Murong Huan will do to him in the next moment?!

Time passed minute by minute, and fine beads of sweat oozed from Li Ci's forehead. He never dreamed that the big wedding he had carefully planned would end up in the deadlock in front of him.

I heard that this Murong Huan's martial arts are invincible in the world, but after all, I have only heard about it, I have not seen it with my own eyes, under the siege of soldiers and horses in my main hall, does he really dare to kill the king?

If he just let them go, would he still have me as the emperor in his eyes? What would the ministers think of me? What would the common people of the world think of me? With these archers here, he was still a little jealous, and maybe for fear of accidentally injuring his sister, he would relent and make peace with me. If I had ordered the archers to be removed, would he not have any more restraint and would have acted recklessly?

Li Ci was thinking like this, seeing that Murong Huan had lost his patience, he was about to burst out!

From Murong Huan's resolute and cold eyes, he could also sense that in this world, no matter who it was, if it endangered his sister's life, he would take action in an instant, and as a result, he would lose the other party's life. Even if you are an emperor who rules the world......

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the gate of Xingqing Palace, and the guards guarding the gate gave way to both sides, and another team of people rushed in.

The first woman shouted inside, "Stop!"
