At this moment, Yuan Zhao had already arrived at the Rong residence and was bowing to heaven and earth with Rong Ruo.
Just then, a voice outside suddenly announced:
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Yuan Zhao was truly stunned.
The Emperor has actually arrived?
Before she could think further, Rong Ruo had already taken her hand and said:
"Go and greet the Emperor."
Yuan Zhao realized what was happening and quickly followed Rong Ruo, completely unaware that Rong Ruo was holding her hand and how intimate their actions were.
Many court officials have come to attend the wedding today.
Even though not many people actually liked Rong Ruo, no one dared to offend him.
Even the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were present, which shows how much influence Rong Ruo had.
However, to their utter surprise, the Emperor himself came.
It was merely the wedding of a courtier, and the wedding itself was absurd—a eunuch getting married, yet the emperor actually showed up to support him. This shows how much the emperor valued Rongruo.
For a time, the court officials were filled with mixed feelings.
Yuan Zhao was even more uneasy, because the emperor's arrival today made her feel that her guess was correct.
Rong Ruo is most likely the emperor's son.
But why did the emperor make him hide his identity and make him the head of the secret police?
At this moment, Yuan Zhao's mind was in complete chaos. It wasn't until Rong Ruo led her to the Emperor that she came to her senses.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects. Long live the Emperor!"
Upon hearing Rong Ruo's voice, Yuan Zhao also knelt down.
She was incredibly grateful that she was wearing a red veil, so no one could see her expression.
"Get up, everyone."
Yuan Zhao heard Emperor Xuanwu's gentle voice.
She had never met the emperor, and now, hearing his voice, she could not reconcile it with the man from her previous life who had ordered the execution of her entire Yuan family.
With Rong Ruo present, she didn't need to sit down; she could simply stand respectfully to the side.
Emperor Xuanwu did not stay long. He said a few words of encouragement, left the gifts, and departed.
Even so, the court officials clearly knew Rongruo's importance in the emperor's heart, and they all looked at him with increasingly obsequious eyes.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince witnessed all of this, and a hint of displeasure flashed in their eyes, but they quickly concealed it.
After the emperor left, Yuan Zhao was quickly led to the bridal chamber.
Since Rongruo had no relatives, it was impossible for anyone to dare to cause trouble during his wedding night.
So the room was quiet, with only Linglong, Wenfeng, Qingcheng, Hongzhao and others keeping Yuanzhao company.
Qingcheng and Hongzhao were given to Yuanzhao by Rongruo. After the matter was settled, she asked Rongruo to take them back, but Rongruo ignored her. So she kept them in the General's Mansion, but did not give them important positions.
This time, she brought the two of them back with her when she got married.
Qingcheng and Hongzhao were clearly much more relaxed here than Wenfeng and Linglong. They spoke up:
"Madam, would you like something to eat first?"
Yuan Zhao was indeed a little hungry. She nodded and was about to lift the veil when she heard the sound of a young eunuch bowing outside the door. Rong Ruo had returned.
So fast?
This is the thought in everyone's mind.
Logically, Rongruo should have gone to offer a toast before returning.
However, given Rong Ruo's personality, if he didn't offer a toast, no one would dare to say anything.
As expected, it was Rong Ruo who entered. He said:
"Go down."
Upon hearing this, even though Wen Feng and Linglong were worried about Chu Qing, they had no choice but to go out.
As they were leaving, a hint of worry flashed in each other's eyes.
After the people inside left, the room became completely quiet.
Rong Ruo didn't speak, and Yuan Zhao, unsure if he was still there, could only tentatively call out:
"The Chief Supervisor?"
No one responded.
Yuan Zhao frowned, and was about to lift the veil when her hand was suddenly grabbed.
It was still the familiar cold, just not as cold as before.
Then Yuan Zhao heard a voice coming from above:
"You've been married once already, don't you know the proper etiquette?"
"The veil cannot be lifted by oneself."
Hearing this, Yuan Zhao felt a little awkward. She was about to say something when she suddenly felt the veil on her head being pulled off, and her vision became clear.
