Chapter 113 Meeting
After sitting in the carriage for several days, Song Huaixi looked a little tired. But when he thought about seeing Zhao Fangye soon, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
From time to time, he would lift the curtain of the carriage and ask Sun Shuo who was walking in front: "Adjutant Sun, how long will it take us to get there?"
Sun Shuo heard the voice and pulled the reins to the side of the carriage, feeling somewhat helpless. This was the third time Song Huaixi had asked him today: "My queen, we can reach the capital early tomorrow morning."
"Oh. Then can you walk faster?" Song Huaixi urged: "I want to see Zhao Fangye tonight."
Sun Shuo smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid that won't work. Your Majesty, you have to enter the capital from the Daqing Gate early tomorrow morning. The royal guards have already been prepared. They are all waiting for the Queen."
It seems that it is of no use. Song Huaixi doesn't care about the ceremonial procession he mentioned. He just simply wants to see Zhao Fangye as soon as possible.
Early in the morning of the second day. Song Huaixi was busy in the inn being supported by Chunhua and Chaolu.
She changed into the bright yellow phoenix robe that symbolized the queen's noble status. The phoenix embroidered with gold thread looked lifelike perched on the luxurious kesi fabric. She wore a nine-dragon and four-phoenix crown on her head. Each golden phoenix held a round oriental pearl in its mouth, as smooth as morning dew. The gems on the crown were dazzling.
"It's so heavy..." Song Huaixi sat in the sedan chair heading to the Forbidden City. Holding the phoenix crown on his head, he felt that his neck was about to be broken.
Chunhua arranged his accessories and clothes for him: "Queen, please be patient, it won't take long."
"This is just the ceremony for entering the palace, so it's still relatively small." Chaolu joked while busying herself, "When Her Majesty attends the enthronement ceremony in the future, the phoenix crown she wears will probably be much heavier than it is now."
"Ah... do I have to wear something heavier?" Song Huaixi felt a headache just thinking about it.
"Empress, the time is almost up. Please move to the palace gate." The eunuch's voice sounded beside the sedan chair.
Chunhua and Chaolu checked again and confirmed that everything was correct, then helped Song Huaixi slowly get down from the sedan chair.
The clothes on her body were too luxurious, and the phoenix crown on her head was too exquisite and complicated. Song Huaixi only felt that his body was heavy and every step he took was very difficult.
When the next sedan chair came, all the members of the Song family were waiting on the side in court robes. When they saw Song Huaixi coming down, they came over and followed him.
Zhao Qionghuan winked at Song Huaixi who was struggling to move forward, and Song Huaixi smiled at her when he saw her.
Following the eunuch's footsteps, Song Huaixi slowly walked towards the Daqing Gate with the support of Chunhua and Chaolu.
The vermilion door opened wide.
"The phoenix emperor is returning to the capital————" followed by a long shout from the eunuch. Song Huaixi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked through the palace gate and slowly walked forward.
Due to the difference in status, Chunhua and Chaolu lowered their heads and followed Song Huaixi with everyone in the Song family after entering the palace.
Song Huaixi walked slowly and looked nervously around him. Palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling on both sides of the avenue.
Everyone shouted in unison: "Welcome Her Majesty the Queen back to the capital. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years————————"
Song Huaixi's heart was beating fast. The scene before him was too formal. It made him feel more stressed.
The further Song Huaixi moved forward under the guidance of the eunuch, the fewer people there were kneeling on the ground, and of course their official positions were also higher. Without exception, they all shouted the same slogan.
He didn't dare to breathe and walked forward with trembling eyes. Finally, when I walked to the steps of the Qianqing Palace, I saw the bright yellow figure on the high platform.
The man on the high platform wore a golden crown and a golden robe with nine winding dragons, which sparkled in the sunlight.
Zhao Fangye looked at Song Huaixi who was walking towards him with gentle eyes, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. The pale eyes were filled with joy.
As soon as Song Huaixi saw him, all the tension in her body disappeared.
The joy in his eyes seemed to be overflowing, and I unconsciously quickened my pace. The rings and beads on his body and the pearl necklace on his phoenix crown collided back and forth with his movements, making crisp and pleasant sounds.
"Cough cough cough..." Noticing his excitement, the eunuch who led the way coughed softly and deliberately slowed down his pace.
Chunhua Chaolu behind her couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "Madam...pay attention to your manners..."
All civil and military officials were watching in full view of the public. The loss of etiquette in front of the palace caused a big joke.
Under the supervision and reminders of everyone, Song Huaixi finally restrained herself from running up with her skirt lifted up.
Looking at Zhao Fangye's eyes, he was still filled with excitement.
Coming to the stairs, he looked at Zhao Fangye who was right in front of him. Song Huaixi wanted to take a step forward and jump three steps at a time, but the eunuch in charge of ceremonies was in front of him so he couldn't rush forward and had to follow behind him and jump one step at a time.
Every detail of the expression on his face fell into Zhao Fangye's eyes. His stern face relaxed and even the corners of his eyebrows showed a hint of smile.
His Huai Xi is still as lovable as ever.
Taking a step forward, Zhao Fangye stretched out his hands towards his approaching lover. Almost instantly, the pair of hands with calluses from years of battle were held softly.
Song Huaixi's blunt, sparkling eyes collided with Zhao Fangye's eyes. The thoughts and worries that followed the separation of our eyes finally got a response at this moment.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of the empress——————"
Song Huaixi seemed to be deaf to the voices of the ministers. He stared at Zhao Fangye as if he couldn't see enough.
"What are you looking at?"
After the ceremony ended and they returned to the bedroom, Zhao Fangye sat beside him and looked at Song Huaixi who had been staring at him. The smile on his face deepened.
He had been staring at him all the way, and Zhao Fangye was almost stared through by him.
"Look at you!" Song Huaixi said honestly, his big eyes twinkling.
I haven't seen him for several months, but I don't know when Zhao Fangye started to have an indescribable strong aura. It added an air of majesty to his already sharp and handsome face.
Song Huaixi didn't understand, she just thought he looked better.
Zhao Fangye sat on the bed and reached out to take off the phoenix crown on his head. Seeing a circle of red marks on his forehead, he reached out and rubbed the flesh tenderly.
"Are you tired, Huaixi, after all the traveling these days?" Zhao Fangye asked in a gentle voice.
"Not tired! Not tired at all!"
Feeling relieved, Song Huaixi leaned into his arms and hugged his waist tightly: "When I think of seeing you, I want the carriage to run faster!"
At this point, Song Huaixi said with some dissatisfaction: "But Adjutant Sun said that the carriage can only run so fast! There is no way to run faster."
Zhao Fangye chuckled, put his arm around his waist and held him on his lap. Song Huaixi was held in his strong arms with her hands on his shoulders.
Zhao Fangye leaned close to his lips, his eyes burning: "I also want Huaixi's carriage to run faster so that I can see Huaixi sooner."
The two were close to each other, their breaths intertwined and the atmosphere was charming. Staring at Zhao Fangye's beautiful lips. Song Huaixi felt a warm feeling in his heart.
She hugged his neck and lowered her head, then kissed him on the lips and said, "No need to run! Huaixi has come to see you!"
