Chapter 181 A Perfect Match
Shen Yue lowered her eyelashes obediently, "Of course it's from our Hengheng family."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuheng's eyebrows curved into a beautiful arc.
"Hengheng misses Xiaoyueliang very much and wants to kiss her right now."
As he spoke, he involuntarily lowered his head and moved closer.
Hou Yuan's voice jokingly came from behind: "Your Majesty is so anxious, is he afraid that the Queen will run away? Haha!"
When Shen Yue heard the voice, she noticed the tens of thousands of guests in front of Fengtian Hall.
Her cheeks flushed and she took a step back.
"Let's get married first!"
Xiao Yuheng stopped teasing her, took her hand, and walked up the steps in front of the hall step by step to the sound of ritual music.
With every step they took, their heartbeats quickened and their smiles deepened.
When they reached the highest point, the ceremonial officer shouted, "The auspicious moment has arrived. The Emperor and Empress will perform the ceremony together!"
"Bow to Heaven and Earth, and the universe will be in order!"
The two of them bowed deeply towards the vast sky and earth.
"Bow to your parents, may they live a long and healthy life!"
The two men turned around and bowed to Pei Ji and Jiang Rou, who were standing behind the curtains in Fengtian Hall.
"The Emperor and Empress pay their respects to each other, a perfect match!"
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of guests, the two men faced each other and bowed solemnly.
When they raised their heads again, both of them had tears in their eyes.
"Ayue, don't ever think about running away from me again."
Shen Yue chuckled, "Well, I won't run away. I will stick to you and you won't be able to get rid of me!"
When our groom heard this, he was so happy that he almost flew to the sky, but the corners of his eyes became redder and redder, and crystal tears hung on his thick eyelashes.
"With pleasure."
Shen Yue didn't want others to see his pitiful appearance, so she quickly changed the subject:
"Can we start the meal now?"
"etc."
Xiao Yuheng turned around, took the phoenix seal from the envoy, and handed it respectfully to Chen Yue.
“It’s not awarded, it’s handed in.”
"Huh?" Shen Yue was confused.
Xiao Yuheng didn't respond, but just smiled at her for a while, then turned around and announced loudly to the civil and military officials and tens of thousands of soldiers:
"The Empress and I share the Mandate of Heaven and rule the country together. From this day forward, the Empress may attend court with me and discuss state affairs. Her words shall be as I command, and her orders as I decree. The Emperor and Empress share the same dignity, ruling the country together, and we will never let each other down!"
As soon as the words fell, thousands of people knelt and shouted:
"Your Majesty is wise and wise! Long live Your Majesty! Live the Empress a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"
Xiao Yuheng was speechless. "Why don't they understand what I'm saying? I've already said that the Emperor and Empress are equally respected, so naturally, they should both be honored with Long Live..."
"Oh, that's enough. It's like you can really live for ten thousand years."
Shen Yue resisted the urge to roll her eyes and continued to ask him:
"Hengheng, what you meant just now is that I will be your equal in the future and can even discuss politics with you?"
"Exactly."
"Is that so?" Shen Yue rolled her eyes. "If that's the case, I do have some ideas about state affairs."
"Hey...Ayue."
Seeing that she was about to start a long speech, Xiao Yuheng quickly spoke up to stop her.
"Let's discuss state affairs later. We still have important things to do!"
"That's right."
Shen Yue chuckled and raised her phoenix sleeves high, and her gorgeous clothes drew a graceful arc in the air.
Face the guests and announce loudly: "Dinner is served!"
The sound was clear and loud, just like the cry of a phoenix in the sky, and it echoed in front of the Fengtian Hall for a long time.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the guests cheered in unison.
The palace servants held trays filled with all kinds of food in their hands and shuttled around the palace like nimble flying swallows, busy as a whirlwind.
They were all sweating profusely, but their faces were full of joy.
After all, the Queen Mother was very generous and had already given them a lot of reward money.
The soup in the copper pot gurgled, emitting bursts of tempting aroma, and curls of white smoke rose up. The world in front of the hall seemed like a fairyland isolated from the rest of the world, so beautiful that it seemed beyond the reach of the human world.
At the banquet, the guests sat at different tables, drinking and chatting happily.
Some old ministers were a little reluctant at first, but after a few drinks of Du Kang, they put their arms around each other's shoulders and chatted about all sorts of things.
Our Emperor thought that after the ceremony he could hug his wife and take a nap, but unexpectedly, his Queen took him to each table, holding a jade pot, to toast with wine.
Although he didn't mind toasting the guests as the host, there were thousands of tables of guests, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to toast even a hundred tables, otherwise the two of them would have to drink to the death.
So, under his strong request, Shen Yue only toasted to a few familiar tables, and after eating, she was forcibly sent back to Lan Yue Palace.
In the bridal chamber, red candles flickered.
The candlelight reflected on the big red wedding character on the wall, making it look particularly warm and festive.
The room was filled with a faint fragrance, a unique scent interwoven from flower petals and candlelight.
Shen Yue sat obediently by the bed, smelling the fragrance and stroking the brand new dragon and phoenix quilt, a happy smile on her face.
It’s great that she finally married her dark horse prince and she is finally no longer alone.
Inexplicably, the corners of her eyes became moist.
But no, today is her big day, she absolutely cannot cry.
She frowned, sat up straight, and was just debating whether to take off the heavy phoenix crown on her head in advance when she heard a commotion at the door.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"We are all my wife's family. I won't open the door unless you give me a red envelope!"
"We will stay together in harmony forever. I will only leave if you give me the red envelope!"
It turned out that Changfeng and Zhang Dayong were leading a group of shadow guards to rob his Majesty.
Xiao Yuheng looked at the crowd of people at the door of the bridal chamber and laughed helplessly.
The guests who came today were all gentle and refined ministers and dull and honest military generals. No one would dare to disturb the bridal chamber, but the shadow guards volunteered to guard the door. It turned out that they were waiting for him here!
Since they dared to make trouble, they must have had Shen Yue's tacit approval. How could Xiao Yuheng refuse them?
"I have already prepared it, one hundred taels per person, go find the precious pearl and get it!"
"Yeah!"
The shadow guards cheered and ran away, scrambling to find Baozhu. Only Changfeng and Bai Yunfei stayed where they were. Not only did they not intend to leave, they even knelt down.
Chang Feng was a little embarrassed to speak, "Your Majesty, I have an unreasonable request."
Xiao Yuheng had watched him grow up, so how could he not know what he was thinking? "Sure."
"ah?"
Changfeng was bewildered, but Xiao Yuheng smiled and said:
"You've been staying in the barracks all day and haven't seen Baozhu for a long time. This is indeed not right. I will make the decision and allow you to take her away. As for Lanyue Palace, I will arrange for her sister Zhenzhu to be the head."
"Really?" Changfeng was overjoyed and kowtowed several times to Xiao Yuheng, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!"
After Changfeng left, Xiao Yuheng walked to Bai Yunfei again.
"So what about you? Do you want to leave the Shadow Guard Division and work as a guard in the Imperial Hospital?"
"Uh, that's not the case."
Bai Yunfei blushed and kowtowed before saying:
"This subordinate would like to ask you for an imperial decree granting marriage. Sijin is... pregnant."
“…”
Xiao Yuheng's forehead twitched. These two people moved quite quickly.
"Okay! Can you let me go see the Queen now?"
All of them were spoiled by A Yue and chose to cause trouble for him on his wedding night.
"Yes, yes, of course."
The troublemakers were finally cleared out. Xiao Yuheng straightened his wedding gown, covered his mouth and blew out a breath, confirming that only the scent of scented tea was in his mouth, then he pushed the door open carefully and walked in.
"Madam, I'm coming~"
