Three days later.
The Imperial Clothing Office sent over Su Renzhong's grandson's auspicious robes early in the morning, along with auspicious robes for Duanmu Junyu, Su Xuening, Su Yun'an, and even Xiao Bao.
In fact, Helian Rong had already instructed the Imperial Clothing Bureau to prepare Su Renzhong's grandson's auspicious attire long ago.
As for Duanmu Junyu, Su Xuening, and Su Yun'an's auspicious attire, it was all made in a rush recently.
However, Helian Rong did put in a lot of effort. He personally designed the auspicious clothes for Su Xuening and Su Yun'an, but he didn't put much effort into Duanmu Junyu's auspicious clothes.
However, the fact that the Imperial Dressing Department could make both Duanmu Junyu's auspicious attire together already shows their thoughtfulness.
Su Renzhong changed into the auspicious robes of the Crown Prince, and Duanmu Junyu also graciously changed into the auspicious robes that had been sent to her.
Logically speaking, it would be perfectly reasonable for an empress of Western Liang not to wear the so-called auspicious attire of Northern Wei.
After all, the status of a Crown Prince's Consort is completely inferior to that of the Empress of Western Liang, but for Su Renzhong's sake, she still wore the auspicious robes of the Crown Prince's Consort.
Su Xuening and Su Yun'an also changed into their auspicious attire.
Even Xiao Bao was dressed in auspicious clothes from the Northern Wei Dynasty by Su Xuening.
Except for Xuanyuan Zhan, who was not dressed in auspicious attire, the whole family went out dressed in auspicious attire.
Today's ceremony for establishing the Crown Prince is being held at the Imperial Ancestral Temple of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so the whole family has to go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple together.
Helian Rong was waiting at the gate of the Second Palace early in the morning. When he saw that the whole family had come over in their best clothes and were all dressed in the auspicious robes of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Helian Rong was overjoyed and looked much better.
"Great-grandfather".
"grandfather."
The whole family stepped forward to pay their respects to Helian Rong.
"Good, good, good boys." Helian Rong nodded to them happily: "I have prepared two imperial carriages for you. Get in and don't miss the auspicious time."
"Yes," they all replied in unison.
Su Renzhong and Duanmu Junyu rode in one imperial carriage with Su Yun'an, while Su Xuening, Xuanyuan Zhan, and Xiao Bao rode in another.
The group set off together for the Imperial Ancestral Temple in a grand procession.
The imperial edict to establish the Crown Prince has been issued, and the people of Northern Wei all know that the ceremony to establish the Crown Prince will be held today. So they all crowded at the gate of the palace and on the road leading to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, waiting to see the Crown Prince in person.
After Helian Rong's imperial carriage came out, two more imperial carriages followed behind.
The imperial carriage and the two imperial palanquins were escorted by Azure Dragon Guards, while the White Dragon Guards lined both sides of the road. The Black Dragon Guards had been waiting at the Imperial Ancestral Temple for some time.
The common people had no way to get close to the imperial carriage; they could only watch from afar.
"Is that His Highness the Grandson of the Emperor in that imperial carriage behind? And that woman next to him must be his concubine, she's so beautiful!"
"I heard that this imperial grandson's wife is actually the Empress of Western Liang!"
"Really? His Highness the Imperial Grandson's concubine is the Empress of Western Liang? I've never heard of her before!"
"You don't know this, do you? His Highness the Imperial Grandson was wandering outside before and married the Empress of Western Liang. He was only found by the Emperor a few years ago. Now, on the Emperor's 80th birthday, the Empress of Western Liang came to find her husband and also to wish the Emperor a happy birthday. I heard she even gave the Emperor a lot of treasures as a birthday gift!"
"Did you see that huge fire phoenix in the sky a few days ago? That was the Vermilion Bird divine beast. It was that Vermilion Bird divine beast that carried the Empress of Western Liang here!"
"This grandson of the emperor is too capable! He actually married the Empress of Western Liang. No wonder our emperor directly appointed him as the crown prince!"
"Our Imperial Grandson's abilities are not limited to these. Do you see that imperial carriage behind us? Sitting on it are the Imperial Grandson's daughter and son-in-law, who are also the Emperor and Empress of Eastern Chu. I heard that the Imperial Grandson's son-in-law is the new Emperor of Eastern Chu, and his daughter is the Empress of Eastern Chu."
"I've also heard that the new Emperor of Eastern Chu and the Empress of Western Liang came to celebrate our Emperor's birthday together because of our Imperial Grandson. I heard they came to find someone."
"My God, the Empress of Western Liang is his wife, the Empress of Eastern Chu is his son-in-law and daughter, and the Emperor of Northern Wei is his grandfather. Doesn't that make our Prince Consort invincible?"
"Isn't he invincible now? The Emperor didn't even appoint the three princes, but directly appointed him as the Crown Prince. Having two powerful backers, Western Liang and Eastern Chu, makes all the difference!"
Hearing the whispers of the people outside, Duanmu Junyu couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and look at Su Renzhong: "I suspect that the person speaking outside was sent by your grandfather, otherwise how would he know so much about us!"
Su Renzhong was amused by her: "You are too naive to know the power of these things to spread. When you all celebrated the old man's birthday together, all the civil and military officials and all the imperial relatives were present. It was such a wonderful show, how could they not spread it around?"
They caused quite a commotion back then, with the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise appearing in broad daylight. The people outside aren't blind; surely someone saw it!
Moreover, such a wonderful scene at the birthday banquet would definitely be spread by word of mouth. Once it spreads, it will spread to ten people, and then to a hundred, and soon all the people of the capital will know about it.
Duanmu Junyu smiled helplessly, "Wasn't I just there to help you save face?"
He arrived in Northern Wei alone, powerless and without influence. She wasn't afraid he would be bullied, which is why she made such a high-profile appearance. She wanted to tell everyone in Northern Wei that Su Renzhong was her man, not powerless and without influence. Su Renzhong had her, and he also had the entire Western Liang.
Moved, Su Renzhong pulled Duanmu Junyu into his arms and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her: "Ayu, I love you."
...Su Yun'an huddled in the corner, speechlessly watching the two people being all lovey-dovey.
Can't his parents consider his feelings?
If he had known this would happen, he should have sat with his sister and brother-in-law.
Knowing her son was there, Duanmu Junyu blushed and glared at Su Renzhong.
Su Renzhong immediately raised his hand to cover Su Yun'an's eyes, then stopped Duanmu Junyu and gave her a deep kiss.
Duanmu Junyu's face turned bright red.
Isn't this guy just burying his head in the sand?
He covered his son's eyes; how could his son not know what he was doing?
Besides, what good is it to just cover his son's eyes? There are so many people outside.
Su Renzhong didn't care what the people thought; he just wanted to kiss her, right here and now.
To be honest, seeing the two of them looking so loving from the outside, no one seemed to mind; most people were envious.
Of course, most men envied Su Renzhong. After all, Duanmu Junyu's beauty and figure, as well as her status as empress, made it impossible for any man not to envy Su Renzhong.
Even Xuanyuan Zhan, riding in the imperial carriage behind, was somewhat envious of Su Renzhong.
Of course, he wasn't envious of his father-in-law for having a mother-in-law, but rather he envied his unrestrained courage.
Xuan Yuanzhan stared expectantly at Su Xuening, who immediately blushed and glared at him, warning him in a low voice, "Don't do anything reckless!"
Xuanyuan Zhan sighed helplessly, no longer daring to harbor any ill intentions.
