Chapter 216: Marriage
After walking through the long palace corridor, everyone followed the palace servants to the open space outside the Fengxian Hall.
Lu Xinran looked around subconsciously and saw a familiar figure at the front of the crowd.
Even though they were far apart, she could still feel his cold anger rising to the sky.
This person... today is not his coming of age day, why is he acting like a nagging woman?
She looked around and saw the ritual guests and palace maids waiting outside. She suddenly guessed why he was in such a state of mind.
The dog emperor is going too far!
Although human nature is biased, how could he be so biased as to be so biased as to be biased towards the creaky nest?
Song Junyan's life is not a life, so he can be used as a target? !
"Sister, do you think it's too late for us to plan an escape route now?"
She was afraid that she would not be lucky enough to enjoy the comfortable life promised in the book.
The dog emperor is not a human being, so they still have to make plans for themselves as soon as possible.
Lu Xinlan also scanned the surroundings and said, "It's still not too late. If you want to leave the capital, we'll start thinking of a solution when we get back."
A mumbling voice came from his heart, and Song Junyan turned sideways and looked at her indifferently.
The face that I cared about before inexplicably became unimportant at this moment. If they run away... I might as well take him with them!
As soon as the emperor came out of his chamber, he heard the familiar words "Dog Emperor" and also heard that the sisters were planning to escape from the capital.
What nonsense!
Did she really think that his Dragon Scale Guards were all good-for-nothings?
The main reason why she can live safely till now is due to his Dragon Scale Guard!
Not to mention that he wouldn't let the brothers kill each other, she couldn't go anywhere with this ability.
As he snorted in his heart, an official from the Ministry of Etiquette stepped forward quickly to ask for instructions. He glanced at him indifferently and nodded slightly.
Give this foolish boy the highest ceremony of coming of age. If he is willing to work hard for himself, the throne can be handed over to him.
Amid the sound of ceremonial music, Lu Xinran stood in the crowd and watched Song Junyan, under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, complete the most important ceremony of coming of age in his life step by step.
It was clearly the same person I was familiar with before, but his clothes and hairstyle had changed, and he was standing alone and cold in front of me. The feeling that came over me became completely unfamiliar.
However, "Tongzi, this life is really good. His biological mother must be a great beauty."
"If he can be the male lead in a romance novel, then he can't be bad."
I wonder if his appearance and demeanor are not bad, that, uh, cough~
The system coughed lightly. He was a serious ruler and would never admit that he had scanned Liu and Tang Quyan's booklets several times!
"What's wrong with that? How did it become like I'm getting engaged to him?"
The content of the book seemed to have fallen apart since she and Lu Xinlan traveled through it together.
The system wanted to put its hands up and even wanted to make a mouth to hold a cigarette, but it was just a poor ruler and could only sigh sadly.
"Why bother doing so much? Our goal is health points!"
It's not good enough to kidnap someone. There will be cases to watch every day in the future, and your health will soar while you enjoy the show.
Just think about it, its chips are so excited that they are about to smoke.
After standing for nearly three hours, the ceremony was finally coming to an end.
The emperor stood up and walked to the table. While he bowed, he picked up a pen and wrote the two words "Chengyu" on the paper.
"You have always been careful and thorough in your actions. I don't need to say much. I will give you the name Chengyu. I hope you will be broad-minded and honor your promises and responsibilities in the future."
"Thank you, Father, for the gift of this name."
Song Junyan took a seal from the palace maid beside him.
The princes below looked at the box with suspicion in their eyes.
Especially for the second prince Song Junsheng and the third prince Song Junhua, when they had their coming-of-age ceremonies, their father only gave them a character but did not give them a seal.
And, Seung Woo!
What does this mean? Why do we expect him to be broad-minded and honor his promises and responsibilities? !
There was a huge wave of doubt in their hearts, and the officials watching the ceremony were also full of suspicion.
At this time, everyone was hoping that Lu Xinran would take a look at the emperor's booklet and give them some hints.
Such a grand ceremony of coming of age, the meaningful courtesy name, and the seal carved from blood jade, every one of these things spoke of the uniqueness of this Fourth Prince.
The emperor values him and plans to focus on his training and let him live in the Eastern Palace in the future.
Or do you simply want them to misunderstand you?
Everyone looked at Lu Xinran anxiously. Lu Xinran was also curious. She opened the emperor's booklet and found that there was no answer in it.
[The emperor really wants to continue raising pigs, and he is not afraid of getting into trouble. ]
She muttered silently, making it even more difficult for people to guess the emperor's thoughts.
The emperor raised his lips with satisfaction. If everything he did was seen by this little girl, how could he continue to be the emperor?
He glanced proudly at Eunuch Fu beside him, and Eunuch Fu immediately came forward with the imperial edict.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, has summoned the Third Prince Song Junyan to be the King of Wei and to establish a government outside the palace..."
"Ms. Lu is a beautiful, kind, filial, and virtuous woman who is waiting to be married. She and the King of Wei are a perfect match. To make you a perfect match, I will betroth you to the King of Wei as his princess. All the ceremonies will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and we will choose an auspicious date for the wedding..."
Lu Xinran knelt in the crowd, never thinking that half of the imperial edict belonged to her.
Seeing that she was still a little confused, Pei quickly motioned for her to come forward and receive the order.
Lu Xinran stood up and walked to Song Junyan's side, and took the imperial decree of marriage from Eunuch Fu with mixed feelings.
Are you going to be completely tied to this guy?
But she still hasn't figured out what the dog emperor is thinking. Should she elope?
Song Junyan held the imperial edict in both hands, listening to the voices coming to him. Thinking of the courtesy name he had just received, he became increasingly uncertain.
What exactly does the emperor mean by this?
The emperor looked at the two people kneeling in front of him with satisfaction. No matter if this dead girl cursed him as a dog emperor in her heart, she would still have to call him father in the future!
He strode away after the ceremony, filled with the happiness of being promoted to an elder.
Before everyone stood up and surrounded him, Song Junyan took half a step forward, lowered his head and whispered something in Lu Xinran's ear.
"We will meet again at the courtyard where we talked before at 11 pm tomorrow."
As soon as Lu Xinran raised her eyebrows, she was surrounded by people who stood up to greet her, all of them congratulating her on finding a good marriage.
She looked at Pei for help; she really didn't know how to deal with such enthusiasm.
Lu Jinchuan looked at his granddaughter who was surrounded by people, and felt more proud than uneasy.
As he was criticized by his inner voice, he gradually realized a serious problem.
It is hard to say whether he can live to see the day when several princes fight for the throne...
The emperor is now in good health and can live another 20 years without any problem. In another 20 years he will be 80 years old.
As for his children and grandchildren, forget it. His old wife doesn't care about them and is too lazy to pay attention to them, and he doesn't want to spend all his energy planning for them.
He stroked his beard, listened to his colleagues coming to congratulate him, and kept smiling and nodding.
If the granddaughter marries the prince, then he is one generation older than the emperor~
Although he didn't dare let the emperor yell at him, just thinking about it secretly was enough to make him happy for a long time.
