As dawn breaks, all things revive.
The Ministry of Rites prepared for today's coronation ceremony for three days and three nights.
Finally, worried that the emperor might not be satisfied, the Minister of Rites specially invited Li Xun to provide some guidance.
After all, everyone in the palace knows that Li Xun is now a favorite of the emperor.
Asking for his opinion on everything can save you a lot of trouble.
Yong'an City remains prosperous today, only now it has gained a touch more prosperity and celebration.
The wedding procession proceeded in a grand and orderly fashion from the imperial city to the Su family's gate.
Red silk ribbons were hung on both sides of the road, and dozens of children carried flower baskets, scattering flower petals all over the red carpet along the way.
Pink and red, each flower petal is delicate and beautiful, adorning this land into a magnificent and splendid fairyland.
The crowds on both sides, each with a bright smile on their face, craned their necks to watch this once-in-a-century wedding...
Today is the Emperor and Empress's wedding day. According to the customs and etiquette of Northern Liang, Xiao Heye only needs to wait in the main hall for the wedding procession to bring the bride back before proceeding with the rest of the ceremony.
No matter how the people from the Ministry of Rites tried to persuade him, they couldn't stop him.
Xiao Heye insisted on personally visiting his new wife to pick her up.
So what if it's against etiquette?
Anyway, this wasn't the first time Xiao Heye had broken the rules and etiquette.
Just after Chen Shi (7-9 AM), Xiao Heye and his wedding procession were already waiting at the door.
The man's red brocade robe accentuated his tall and slender figure, and a dark red belt with gold cloud patterns was tied around his waist. His black hair was tied up high with a gold crown.
His face was refined and handsome, exuding an innate nobility and aloofness.
About half a cup of tea's time had passed.
Su Sui led Su Tiyue out of the courtyard slowly.
Then she personally handed her daughter's hand to Xiao Heye.
Xiao Heye lowered his brows and took those soft, boneless fingers, his deep gaze lingering on her for a long time.
Su Tiyue wore a red wedding dress, with an extremely soft and light scarlet gauze over it. A small section of her fair wrist was exposed at the loose cuffs trimmed with gold, which was dazzlingly white against the backdrop of the bright red.
A crimson bridal veil concealed her stunningly beautiful face, revealing her rosy lips, white teeth, and captivating eyes.
The tassel-embroidered auspicious cloud belt around her waist accentuated her slender waist.
With each step she took, lotus blossoms seemed to float beneath her feet, her skirt trailed on the ground, and a subtle fragrance wafted through the air; her beauty was breathtaking.
Xiao Heye held her hand and sat with Su Tiyue on the dragon carriage.
Everywhere you look, there are ten miles of red bridal processions.
Through her bridal veil, Su Tiyue gazed at the bustling crowd on the street, her palms glistening with sweat.
This scene made her quite nervous.
Xiao Heye gently squeezed her slightly cool fingertips, seemingly noticing her unusual behavior.
He turned around and said to her gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Su Tiyue did not answer, but turned her face and looked at him gently through the bridal veil.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Heye took out a piece of candy from his sleeve, slowly unwrapped it, and placed it in Su Tiyue's palm: "Today's ceremony is complicated and time-consuming. If you get tired or hungry, just tell me, and we can stop it at any time. Anyway, it's all just a formality, and I don't want you to work too hard."
Xiao Heye understood her. There were many rules in this kind of occasion, and Su Tiyue was reasonable and knew the big picture. No matter how hard it was, she would persevere.
But marriage is a joyous occasion, and this day should be unforgettable and deeply etched in one's memory.
Su Tiyue looked down at the candy in her hand and whispered, "Mm."
The candy was Su Tiyue's favorite lychee candy when she was in Suzhou.
When the two first met, the candy Su Tiyue gave to Xiao Heye was also lychee candy.
The procession, in a grand and imposing manner, passed through Yong'an City and then arrived at the palace.
This was followed by a grand investiture ceremony and sacrificial rites.
By the time all the ceremonies were over, it was already evening.
The Imperial Household Department prepared a new palace for the Emperor and Empress, not far from the Bright Hall, called the Moon-Embracing Hall.
It is said that the name of the palace was personally bestowed by the emperor.
To grasp the moon, to embrace the bright moon...
It means to embrace the bright moon and bring it into my heart.
As for that bright moon, who else could it be besides Su Tiyue?
