Chapter 1149: Side by Side with You
Just after midnight, Shen Qingqian was called up.
"Why are you here so early?" She yawned and couldn't open her eyes.
Last night, Liang held her and talked to her until midnight, hesitantly gave her a fire avoidance map, and before leaving, she also reminded her that no matter what Sheng Ze asked her to do, she must not resist.
How could it be possible that she wouldn't do anything that made her uncomfortable.
Shen Qingxiao smiled and said, "It's getting late. I heard that many adults don't have time to sleep tonight. The coronation ceremony is scheduled for the end of the Yin hour. Those who live far away simply came to guard outside the palace gate after dinner last night."
Thinking that Sheng Ze must have gotten up by now, Shen Qingqian immediately felt balanced. As long as she was not the only one suffering, it was fine.
The Shen family was well prepared, and the coronation ceremony in the palace went smoothly. Sheng Ze ascended the throne and named the reign Qiyuan. After the new year, the new reign was used, the first year of Qiyuan. This year was the year before Qiyuan.
Today's procedure is that the coronation ceremony will be held at the end of Yin hour, the wedding ceremony of the emperor and empress will begin at Chen hour, and after noon the emperor and empress will go to the imperial mausoleum together to worship the sky.
Sheng Ze personally went to the Shen family to pick up the bride, and attracted many people to watch along the way. Fortunately, this situation had been anticipated and many people were arranged to maintain order.
The wedding ceremony of the emperor and empress of the Great Jin Dynasty was very complicated. Fortunately, the first one or two hours were occupied by the emperor and his ministers. It was not until the end of the Si hour that the phoenix sedan chair carrying Shen Qingqian landed outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Shen Qingqian sat upright in the phoenix sedan chair, listening to the festive music outside. She was not nervous at first, but suddenly she became nervous.
How come she got married in such a daze?
At this moment, Shen Qingqian seriously suspected that she was tricked by Sheng Ze.
Outside the phoenix sedan chair, the ceremonial officer shouted, "Welcome the Queen to the palace!"
Then came the voices of hundreds of officials paying respects, "Congratulations to our emperor on his great wedding! Long live the emperor! Long live the empress!"
These people seemed to have been trained, their voices were in unison, and it made people feel excited.
Shen Qingqian suddenly understood why so many people like to pursue power. Looking at her current status, she knew that people with weak willpower and determination could not resist this temptation at all.
While she was distracted, she was already being carried away.
"Your Majesty, please shoot the sedan door."
The next moment, Shen Qingqian heard the sedan door open.
Before she could react, the door of the phoenix sedan was opened and Sheng Ze's smiling face appeared before her.
Today, Sheng Ze was dressed in full court attire, looking exceptionally noble and imposing. The joy in his eyes and brows made him seem much more approachable.
"Qianqian," Shengze stretched out his hand, his voice full of laughter, "Give me your hand."
Shen Qingqian took a deep breath and handed his hand to him.
Sheng Ze held her hand firmly and led her up the steps outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony step by step.
When the two men stood side by side, all the officials knelt down again to congratulate them.
Sheng Ze said to Shen Qingqian in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "After the ceremony is over, you should eat something first. You still have to offer sacrifices to the heavens in the afternoon. Don't starve yourself."
If Sheng Ze hadn't been afraid that she would change her mind, he wouldn't have been so anxious to marry her back to the palace.
He still remembered that Shen Qingqian once said that she didn't want to marry into the family of a noble or general. He was in the imperial palace, so it would be a lie to say that he wasn't worried.
"Yeah, you too." Shen Qingqian replied in a low voice.
Sheng Ze held her hand tightly again, and Shen Qingqian held it back, and soon their hands were intertwined.
After the wedding ceremony, Shen Qingqian was carried to Qifeng Palace.
