Finally, after climbing the steps, the entire Mingqi Hall came into view.
A magnificent palace, adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, appeared before them. Whether it was their imagination or not, the Mingqi Palace seemed to be radiating golden light.
Upon seeing the Mingqi Hall, everyone felt as if they had stepped into another time and space, their anger, worries, and sorrows vanished, leaving only endless tranquility.
A burst of music brought everyone back to reality.
Red silk ribbons were hung on the windows and door frames of Mingqi Hall, perfectly matching the atmosphere of today's wedding.
The worship ceremony officially began.
The Imperial Ceremonial Officer, holding a jade book, stood before Helian Jue and Qiao You and read aloud the contents of the book, which mostly praised Helian Jue and Qiao You.
"His Highness Crown Prince Helian Jue and Crown Princess Qiao You, accept the test from you all."
At the master of ceremonies' signal, Qiao You and Helian Jue simultaneously extended their right hands and placed them on the two indentations of the "Ten Thousand Character Stele".
Although the Wanzibei is a stone tablet, it doesn't look like stone; in some places, it looks like it's made of jade.
Qiao You placed his palm on the indentation, and slowly, he felt the place warming up, and the temperature gradually rising. At the same time, the spiritual spring water in the space was gurgling and trying to bubble out.
I don't know how to describe this feeling; it's very comfortable, like my meridians have been opened up.
"What's wrong? It looks like your palm is glowing." Because Su Shu had been paying attention to Qiao You, she noticed the unusual thing immediately.
The area where Qiao You's palm was touching emitted a distinct blue glow, which seemed to be growing larger.
"What's going on?" Su Shu tugged at Helian Cheng's sleeve, wanting to get an answer.
This swastika stele is a symbol of the royal family. Su Shu and Helian Cheng also held a similar ceremony when they got married, but it was a very ordinary affair with no special significance.
Helian Cheng's expression darkened slightly. After a few seconds of silence, he said to Su Shu, "In the written records of the Helian family, only the first emperor of the empire, who was also the founder of the empire, had such a situation on the day of his ascension to the throne."
"After that, it never happened again."
Su Shu wasn't interested in the Helian family's situation; she was only concerned about whether it would harm Guai Bao.
"No, this phenomenon shows that Wanzibei is very satisfied with Youyou, and he has made significant contributions to the empire."
Hearing Helian Cheng say this, Su Shu felt relieved.
After witnessing this scene firsthand, the Imperial Ceremonial Officer looked at Qiao You with considerable respect.
Su Xia was far away, and the viewers in the live stream couldn't hear what she was saying or see the unusual thing under Qiao You's palm. They were still immersed in marveling at the sacred atmosphere of the Mingqi Hall.
Having passed the test of the Ten Thousand Character Stele, Qiao You was officially incorporated into the royal family and became the rightful Crown Princess of the Empire, second only to His Majesty and the Empress.
After a whole morning, the entire ceremony came to a perfect and successful conclusion.
Qiao You felt even more that Helian Jue had a tough time, having to deal with so many tedious tasks every day.
"Baby, are you alright?" Helian Jue also noticed Qiao You's unusual behavior earlier. He suppressed his questions and asked about Xiao Yu's condition first, wondering if she was feeling unwell.
Qiao You shook her head. "Brother, I'm fine."
"Not tired at all."
Helian Jue led Qiao You toward Helian Jue and Su Shu.
Su Shu held Qiao You's hand and showed her concern for a long time, afraid that he might get tired.
While his mother was talking to Xiaoyu, Helian Jue asked his adoptive father directly what had just happened.
He must know about the affairs of the royal family and the Helian family, especially given his calm demeanor at this moment.
Helian Cheng repeated what he had just said to Su Shu.
"Jue'er, Youyou is of vital importance to the empire."
