Chapter 407 I Will Protect You Forever

"The Emperor and Empress have arrived!"

When everyone heard the sound coming from outside the hall, they all stood up.

Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo were seen wearing wedding robes with dragon and phoenix patterns, slowly walking into Zehua Palace.

Xiao Chengjin held Jiang Ruo's hand tightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips deepened a little.

Everyone in the hall saluted in unison and said, "Welcome, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and a thousand years, ...

"No need to be so polite." Xiao Chengjin's tone was very pleasant.

Under the gaze of everyone, he and Jiang Ruo walked straight to the upper position.

Little Phoenix followed Jiang Ruo and looked at Xiao Chengjin with envy.

The dog man stole the show today.

Manager Lin stood to one side, holding a tray in both hands, on which was a red brocade box.

Sheng Yunshao, who was sitting in the front, looked at the red brocade box, and a light flashed in his eyes.

No wonder he was asking me questions in a roundabout way some time ago, it turns out he was waiting here!

I never thought of making couple rings.

Xiao Chengjin sat beside Jiang Ruo and glanced at everyone.

When he saw Sheng Yunshao giving him a thumbs up, he couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Xiao Chengjin coughed lightly and said slowly: "Today's banquet is not just for the coronation ceremony."

When everyone heard this, they pretended to listen attentively.

Xiao Chengjin held Jiang Ruo's hand and said with emotion: "When I was a prince, I was attacked and fell into a coma. It was the queen who married into the palace to bring me good luck."

"After the Queen married into the palace, she took great pains to take care of me."

"Demoted and exiled, she encountered assassinations and banditry on her way to exile... The Queen never complained."

"I can wake up thanks to my queen."

Let me show you, our feelings are very deep.

Jiang Ruo: "..."

Why is it suddenly so sentimental?

To be honest, I was forced to do it to bring you happiness...

The unmarried women said: If we knew that you would become the emperor, we would rush to bring you good luck no matter what.

Jiang Ruo squeezed Xiao Chengjin's palm and said with a curled lip: "Your Majesty, we are husband and wife. What you said is what I should do."

Seeing that the timing was right, Xiao Chengjin waved to Manager Lin.

Manager Lin took a few steps forward with the tray and presented the brocade box with a smile.

Jiang Ruo looked at the brocade box on the tray, her eyebrows raised slightly.

Could it be a family heirloom?

Xiao Chengjin took the brocade box and slowly opened it...

Everyone present stared at the red brocade box with curiosity on their faces.

Jiang Ruo looked at the wedding rings in Xiao Chengjin's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

Wedding rings?

When did he prepare it?

Little Phoenix leaned close to Jiang Ruo's ear and said in a low voice, "Sister, this is a surprise he prepared for you."

Xiao Chengjin looked at Jiang Ruo with eyes full of affection, "Ruoruo, this pair of dragon and phoenix rings is the design I drew myself."

"Come, I'll put it on for you."

Jiang Ruo's cheeks turned slightly red and she stretched out her right ring finger.

Everyone: “…”

The emperor drew the blueprint himself, he really put a lot of effort into it!

Jiang Ruo looked at the ring on her ring finger and said softly, "Thank you."

"As long as Ruoruo likes it." Xiao Chengjin curled his lips slightly and handed the other ring to Jiang Ruo, "Put it on me."

"Okay." Jiang Ruo took the dragon-patterned ring and carefully put it on the ring finger of Xiao Chengjin's left hand.

Xiao Chengjin looked at the rings on their fingers and felt that they matched better.

Noticing everyone's curious eyes, Xiao Chengjin held Jiang Ruo's hand and raised it, showing the couple rings on her hand to everyone.

"This pair of dragon and phoenix rings represents the unswerving love between me and the Queen." As he said this, Xiao Chengjin let go of his clenched hands.

Then, he looked at Jiang Ruo with tender eyes, "Ruo Ruo, I will protect you for the rest of my life."

Jiang Ruo also looked at Xiao Chengjin affectionately, "Never leave, never abandon, depend on each other through life and death."

Everyone: “…”

Are the Emperor and the Empress showing off their affection?

The eyes of the unmarried women present were filled with envy and jealousy...

Led by Chief Steward Lin, everyone bowed and congratulated in unison, "May the Emperor and Empress live in harmony and grow old together."

Xiao Chengjin stroked Jiang Ruo's fingers and watched everyone's reactions.

"Thank you all for your blessings. Please take your seats!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Everyone sat back in their seats.

Sheng Yunshao squeezed Princess Anran's palm and whispered, "Ruoxin, you don't have to be too envious."

"I'll draw the picture right away when I get back."

Princess Anran nodded slightly when she heard this.

Sheng Yunshao couldn't help but feel proud.

Ning Jinghuai's eyes lit up when he looked at the wedding rings on Xiao Chengjin and the other man's hands.

He turned his head and blinked at Chu Ruoyan: Yan'er, do you like it?

Chu Ruoyan nodded: I like it.

Okay, after the banquet is over, I will ask the emperor for advice.

The Nangong family was completely relieved this time.

Manager Lin, who was standing nearby, looked at the envious eyes of the women and snorted.

Be envious and jealous, you can only watch.

After Xiao Chengjin finished showing affection, he restrained his expression slightly, "Butler Lin, serve the meal."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Steward Lin bowed and left.

A moment later, palace servants carrying delicacies, wine, and fruits filed in...

After the palace servants left, Xiao Chengjin told Chief Steward Lin, "Let's start the banquet!"

Chief Steward Lin shouted at the top of his voice, "The Emperor has decreed a banquet."

Xiao Chengjin picked up the serving chopsticks and started to pick up some food for Jiang Ruo...

During this period, the ministers raised their glasses to toast Xiao Chengjin.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively.

The women present secretly looked at Jiang Ruo who was sitting above, and their jealous eyes could not be hidden.

Ye Wanshu quietly left her seat and went to the back row, gathering with her usual friends and whispering, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the Empress is currently enjoying the Emperor's favor."

"If she cannot give birth to a child for the emperor, she will soon fall out of favor."

"Yes, it's been so long, and the Queen still doesn't have any children?"

"The Queen can't be... Hehe!"

Ye Wanshu and the woman covered their lips and laughed softly.

Sheng Yunshao pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation and snorted coldly.

You guys are just nagging.

Alas, there are some gossipers here, they will definitely discuss this matter in private...

Thinking of this, Sheng Yunshao looked up at Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo.

Son-in-law, I give you three months to get pregnant.

Then, slap them in the face...
