Chapter 197 Queen's Ceremony
"She is sick, ignore her."
Emperor Jingxuan spoke concisely and without mercy.
Ah Sui was stunned, instantly feeling guilty. "What's wrong with her? Is it serious? Is it an eye disease? Can it be cured?"
After four consecutive questions, Emperor Jingxuan was speechless and turned to the child's mother for help.
Yun Wan glared at him angrily, telling him to keep his mouth shut.
Emperor Jingxuan touched his chin awkwardly, forgetting that his son was a pedantic scholar who was always eager to get to the bottom of things.
Yun Wan pulled Asui in front of him and asked, "She glared at you, what did you do?"
Asui: "I glared back like this."
He frowned hard, bulged his eyes and glared at people, thinking that he looked "fierce".
If he had known that the prince's mother was ill, he would have been more magnanimous and not glared back.
It seems that she didn't glare at me on purpose. It must be that her illness was out of control, so she needed someone to help her go back.
Emperor Jingxuan chuckled, "You're cross-eyed, silly boy."
This little appearance has no killing power other than making the other person laugh.
Yun Wan's smile widened as he cupped Asui's cheek and rubbed it, "Don't frown at such a young age, or you'll turn into an old man."
She glanced at Emperor Jingxuan vaguely and whispered, "Just like your father."
Asui immediately relaxed his brows, and his chubby little face suddenly puffed up without a single wrinkle to be found.
"I heard it, madam." Emperor Jingxuan looked very displeased.
Yun Wan sighed inwardly, turned around, raised her hand to smooth the faint vertical lines between his eyebrows, and coaxed him softly: "I was just joking, Your Majesty is not old at all."
As he said, Emperor Jingxuan was extremely handsome, with a pair of phoenix eyes like torches, eyebrows like swords, a high nose bridge, and deep and firm features.
Compared with young and energetic men in their teens and twenties, he has a more mature charm, and the emperor's magnanimity is reflected in him so vividly that people ignore his appearance.
In order to show their maturity and stability, men over 30 years old in the Great Qi Dynasty who had already established a family liked to grow beautiful beards. Emperor Jingxuan also grew one before, but he shaved it off after Yun Wan disliked it because it hurt his little flower.
Seeing that his father was unhappy again, Asui blinked and quickly got down to business:
"Congratulations, my mother, for becoming the queen. Asui congratulates you!"
After saying this, he did not forget to thank Emperor Jingxuan, "I also thank you, father, for your insightful vision in making my mother the empress."
At such a young age, he already knows how to keep a balance and give in to others.
Yun Wan was so happy that she hugged the child.
Knowing that there are differences between men and women, Asui, who is mentally stronger and more mature than his peers, blushed, but was still reluctant to push away A Niang's closeness.
Emperor Jingxuan curled his lips slightly. This kid makes people love and hate him.
Leaning in his mother's arms, Asui looked towards Emperor Jingxuan, his eyes full of curiosity: "Then, Father, my mother is the empress. Does that mean she is your wife?"
The emperor and the empress are one body, just like Pei Qian's parents, Aunt Yongshou and Duke Cheng'en.
Emperor Jingxuan raised his eyebrows, and naturally reached out to embrace Yunwan, interlocking their fingers, with a self-satisfied look on his face: "Of course, your mother is the only wife I will have in this life."
He had no wife before, but from now on, the lady will be his wife.
He turned his head to look at Yun Wan, his eyes burning like fire.
Ah Sui nodded, not quite understanding, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind -
It’s a pity that my father is not my mother’s only husband.
He raised his eyes and glanced at it secretly. His intuition told him that he couldn't say this out loud, otherwise he would get beaten.
Although Asui has never been beaten since he was a child.
At the same time, he thought, since A Niang is the queen, does it mean that he is more qualified and capable of taking the position of crown prince?
So this is what A Niang meant by helping him?
Asui's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Yun Wan intently.
Yun Wan stroked his head, and the mother and son understood.
Emperor Jingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
I always feel that the mother and son are secretly hiding something from him.
........
The ceremony of conferring the empress was held one month later. Normally, the Ministry of Rites would prepare for the ceremony for three to six months, but Emperor Jingxuan could not wait.
Moreover, when the idea of establishing a queen first came to his mind, he had already ordered people to prepare for the relevant matters in secret, all for this moment.
In early June, the morning light began to appear, and the palaces and buildings of the Great Qi Imperial City stood in a row. The glazed tiles on the red palace walls sparkled in the sunlight.
From the Meridian Gate to the Taihe Hall, the imperial road paved with red silk lichen stretched straight. The entire palace was decorated with red silk, exquisite palace lanterns, and countless exotic flowers and plants.
The armored Yulin soldiers inside and outside the imperial city were ready to go, lined up in rows, demonstrating the royal majesty.
With the sound of a long and majestic trumpet, the master of ceremonies shouted "The Emperor and Empress have arrived", and the ceremony of crowning the Empress began.
Yun Wan, wearing a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, came before Emperor Jingxuan surrounded by palace servants and raised her hand with a smile.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Emperor Jingxuan, wearing a robe with twelve dragon patterns and an imperial crown on his head, took Yunwan's hand, stepped onto the green steps, and headed towards the Temple of Heaven.
When the golden bell rang, all the civil and military officials, royal relatives and nobles below waited eagerly with solemn expressions.
There was a noticeable dent in the row. Pei Qian muttered quietly, "Cousin, I saw the Crown Prince was staring at you just now. Is he planning something bad?"
Ever since he knew that Asui was his uncle's biological son, he became very familiar with calling him "cousin".
Ah Sui kept a straight face and looked straight ahead: "It's a solemn occasion, so no talking is allowed."
Pei Qian nodded: "He glared at you, he must be dissatisfied."
"But don't be afraid. Your mother is already the queen, my aunt. As long as you raise your hand, I, your cousin, will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
He has been unhappy with the prince for a long time. He looks down on people all day long and is too arrogant.
Ah Sui's face was tense: "........I know, just be quiet first."
Pei Qian also wanted to be quiet, but he was really bored. Standing for two hours at a time was more tiring than sitting in the classroom listening to lectures.
He was only quiet for a quarter of an hour before he felt uncomfortable all over.
When he wanted to speak again, Ah Sui quickly took out a piece of cake from his waist pouch and stuffed it into his mouth, "Only one piece, and no sound."
Pei Qian was delighted: "You are indeed foresighted."
He was just hungry.
These were the things Yun Wan had ordered people to prepare for Asui in the morning to fill his stomach, and Emperor Jingxuan tacitly agreed.
Asui took out another piece and gave it to the third prince, and so on, giving one piece to each person. When it was almost the crown prince's turn, there was nothing left.
The veins on the minister's forehead throbbed wildly. He closed his eyes and pretended not to see it.
Pei Qian, who had eaten his fill, approached Asui and said with a frown, "Cousin, the prince keeps looking our way. He's so annoying."
"How about you take away his crown prince position, and we will support you to take the throne?" He covered his mouth and whispered.
Zhang Lian and his companions: .....Can you guys be louder when you plot?
They are afraid to speak, not deaf or dead.
