This was all prepared by His Majesty.
In the palace they are husband and wife, and also emperor and empress.
But outside the palace, he was an ordinary man, and he wanted to marry the woman he loved as his wife.
A sedan chair carried by eight people and a ten-mile long red wedding dress.
To prove to everyone that he, Xiao Yu, had married the woman he loved.
Shen Fu's heart was pounding, and she opened the curtain to look behind.
The dowry team behind her was so long that she could not see the end of it.
Only then did Shen Fu realize that what His Majesty said was true.
He said he wanted her to be his only one.
"Empress, that's not all." Lin An suppressed the smile on his lips. He moved his intact legs and became more attentive to Shen Fu.
His Majesty also said that the concubines in the palace were dismissed early.
Every concubine returned home, but the monthly allowance was still given as usual.
Lin An swallowed his words silently: "From now on, I only want you, Madam."
Chen Fu's heart had already melted into a ball.
She looked at the phoenix coronet and bridal robe on her body, and the phoenix chariot on her head, which was topped with jade and inlaid with gems and pearls all around.
The backrest behind him is embroidered with auspicious dragon and phoenix.
䀴In front of her was a golden phoenix with its wings spread high in the sky.
Chen Fu sat in the sedan chair and watched His Majesty take her around Suzaku Street.
Afterwards, they stopped at the foot of the imperial city.
All civil and military officials wore red and kowtowed when they saw the ceremonial guard.
In front of all the people, Xiao Yu dismounted and moved Chen Fu out of the Phoenix Chariot.
Looking at Chen Fu in front of him, who was wearing a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, Xiao Yu's heart had never been so peaceful.
The sound of gongs and drums rang out, and the Ministry of Rites began to play music. Xiao Yu held Chen Fu's hand and laid them on the red silk.
They stood in front of the wedding hall and kowtowed to heaven and earth.
Lin An stood aside and read aloud: "I believe that the empress has ascended to the throne and is truly the mother of the world; the noble concubine Shen is both virtuous and beautiful, respectful, frugal, gentle, and diligent." Note 1
"I dismissed the concubines in the harem and specially appointed Chen Fu as the queen. From now on, I will only marry the queen, who will be the central empress and set an example for the other six palaces. I decree this!"
"Knowing the Emperor, knowing the Empress." All civil and military officials and the people bowed.
Everyone around fell to their knees.
Only the person in front of her held her palm.
Xiao Yu held Chen Fu's hand and took her to the city wall.
With every step, Xiao Yu's heart beat involuntarily.
He, Xiao Yu, was born into a royal family and was a prince since birth. He had something that no one else had.
After ascending the throne, he was even more powerful, and everything in the world was before him.
But he didn't know until he met the people around him.
It has nothing to do with wealth, glory, or power.
For the rest of his life, just the person in front of him is enough for him.
He held Shen Fu's hand tightly, and in front of everyone, he lifted Shen Fu's veil.
Under the phoenix crown, Shen Fu smiled at him softly, and their eyes met, both of them showing tenderness.
Xiao Yu gently brushed her hair, took her to the top of the city wall, and said to everyone below: "Today, I will use the country as a betrothal gift, and all the people will bear witness to my promise."
At the foot of the city wall, civil and military officials listened to the order. His Majesty's voice, from top to bottom, fell into everyone's ears:
"Xiao Yu only wants Chen Fu in this life. From now on, we will be together for the rest of our lives, until we grow old together."
Chen Fu clenched the palm of the person beside her, interlocked her fingers, and promised:
"In this life, Chen Fu only wants Xiao Yu. From now on, I will live with you until we grow old together."
Golden light scattered, and the breeze blew on the two of them. The bright red wedding gowns curled up together, entangled with each other.
All the people looked up and saw a pair of golden boy and jade girl standing side by side on the top of the city wall, enjoying the mountains and rivers.
Afterwards, the story of that wedding circulated for years.
Once upon a time there was an emperor who married his wife in front of all the people.
Loving each other for many years and staying together for a lifetime.
