"It's okay, just drink less soup."
How could Lin Yiran not eat the delicious green onion and pork dumplings that were served to her?
All the chefs in the imperial kitchen have been retained, their skills are top-notch, and the Nine Clans’ Strict Selection is different.
The dumplings are small and exquisite, and they are delicious when you eat one bite at a time.
Lin Yiran took the bowl of dumplings, and the temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
The old nanny watched Lin Yiran finish a large bowl of dumplings, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.
There are at least 30 dumplings in this big bowl. If we eat so many, there will be no problems during the ceremony.
The old lady was very worried.
"You can put on the Zhaiyi later. Put on your makeup and get your headdress done first."
The old nanny ordered the palace maids to cleanse Lin Yiran's face and put on makeup again.
By the time Lin Yiran was fully dressed in her phoenix coronet and bridal robe, Xiao Yunzhan was already dressed in his dragon robe. After offering sacrifices to the heavens and ancestors, he slowly walked towards the throne in the Golden Palace as all the civil and military officials knelt in worship...
.....
"Quick, put on the phoenix-head shoes for the Queen."
"Give me that emerald jade bracelet..."
"Oh, why haven't you put on your earrings yet? The new emperor's enthronement decree has already been read out, hurry up..."
“.......”
Old Madam Xiao stared at Lin Yiran with a smile on her face, and kept urging the palace maids and old nannies, fearing that anything would be missed.
Lin Yiran's neck was stiff, her eyes rolled around, and she glanced at Old Madam Xiao.
Old Madam Xiao was seen wearing a dark blue imperial robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon on the front. This was the dress the empress dowager wore on formal occasions, symbolizing the solemnity and orthodoxy of imperial power.
Seeing that Old Madam Xiao was only moving but not moving her body, she knew that Old Madam Xiao was not wearing light clothes.
"Oh my god, the Queen is so graceful, dignified and elegant, she is absolutely stunning..."
Yao Wenhong walked in wearing a dark blue dress suitable for a princess and an exaggerated smile on her face.
Zheng Yunyun was also dressed in the dignified attire of a princess, holding a pretty and lovely little girl in each hand.
When Xiao Lingyan saw Lin Yiran, her eyes lit up, she let go of Zheng Yunyun's hand, and ran into the room with a grin on her face.
"Auntie is so beautiful..."
"Second sister-in-law, please don't tease me."
Lin Yiran glanced at Yao Wenhong with a hint of coquettishness, and her eyes fell on Xiao Lingyan.
She reached out and touched Xiao Lingyan's chubby little face.
"Our Ling Yan and Ling Hui are like little children, so cute."
Xiao Linghui smiled and walked to Lin Yiran, leaning against her softly, her round eyes turning into crescents from smiling.
"I'm telling the truth." Yao Wenhong smiled and walked forward to hold Lin Yiran's hand, looking her up and down with admiration.
"Third sister-in-law, do you think I said it?"
"Yes." Zheng Yunyun smiled and nodded, "Fourth brother's wife is so beautiful and graceful, no one can compare to her."
"I think my second and third sister-in-law are more radiant." Lin Yiran smiled and looked at the two of them.
Mrs. Xiao looked at her three daughters-in-law and smiled from ear to ear.
"They are all beautiful, and all of them are shining."
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting and laughing with each other, a palace maid hurried in.
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is receiving homage from all the officials and will soon read out the imperial edict conferring the title of Empress."
Madam Xiao nodded and looked at Lin Yiran.
"Let's go."
Lin Yiran hummed softly, and slowly stood up with the help of two palace maids, and walked out of Changning Palace surrounded by the crowd.
Xiao Yunzhan sat upright on the throne, looking at Lin Yiran who appeared on the imperial road, his eyes red with excitement.
Lin Yiran clasped her hands together and placed them on her lower abdomen. As the ministers knelt and kowtowed, she walked in the middle of the imperial road, heading step by step towards the highest power center of Yongchang State.
At the moment the Emperor and Empress clasped their hands, a ray of sunlight shone through the window lattice onto their hands...
.......
"Someone, prepare some water."
"First, take off the phoenix crown on my head..."
Lin Yiran frowned, slumped in the chair exhausted and looking utterly ungraceful.
If I don't have a good body, I really won't be able to withstand the stress of the coronation ceremony.
She had been holding her body upright all day, and her neck was sore.
"Empress." The old nanny paused slightly while holding the dragon and phoenix veil, and gently persuaded,
"Wait a moment, the emperor hasn't lifted the veil yet."
The old nanny put the dragon and phoenix veil in her hand into the hands of the little palace maid next to her, and raised her hand to gently rub Lin Yiran's neck twice.
I have to say that the old lady's technique is very comfortable. Lin Yiran's sore neck felt numb and comfortable.
"No need to wait, the bath water is ready, I want to take a shower and change clothes."
Lin Yiran half-closed her eyes and rejected the old lady's proposal without hesitation.
Xiao Yunzhan was still hosting a banquet to entertain civil and military officials as well as the nobles of the capital. The banquet would probably end at midnight. She would be stupid to wait there wearing such a heavy headdress.
The female members of the family were being taken care of by Old Madam Xiao and her two sisters-in-law, so there was no need for her, the bride, to stay there for long.
She just met the female relatives and came back.
The old nanny looked at Lin Yiran with an embarrassed expression, and after a long time, she gave the young palace maids a helpless look.
"Everyone, be careful."
The palace maids responded, bent over and came forward to surround Lin Yiran, carefully taking off her jewelry.
The dragon and phoenix wedding veil that hadn't yet covered Lin Yiran's head was thrown aside...
As soon as Lin Yiran finished washing up, the palace maid brought her a bowl of hot scallion oil and egg noodles.
"Hmm!? Third sister-in-law's craftsmanship?"
