Chapter 470: Welcoming Her Majesty the Queen, Impatient
Ji Qingwu retracted his legs and said, "Your Majesty, my parents are still waiting for me at home."
Zhao Mingyan locked her waist and said, "I'll let you go back in a while."
Ji Qingwu did not object anymore, because she also missed Yuan Heng and Jiujiu, and she was excited to see the two children first.
All the way to Zhaoyang Palace.
Ji Qingwu looked at the familiar palace, got off the carriage and looked around, but did not see the two children.
"Where are Yuan Heng and Jiujiu?" Ji Qingwu asked anxiously.
At this time, Xiao Dongzi walked out of the palace and knelt down and said, "Your servant greets the emperor and the queen."
Ji Qingwu raised her eyebrows slightly, wondering why the Queen was being called now. But since there were no outsiders around, she did not stop them.
Zhao Mingyan said, "Get up, are you ready?"
Xiao Dongzi said: "According to the emperor's instructions, it has been prepared early in the morning."
As he spoke, he trotted open the palace door, and Ji Qingwu followed the emperor into the palace.
Ji Qingwu stood at the door, unable to move. It was not that she didn't want to go in, but there was no place to step.
The spacious hall was almost entirely filled with sandalwood boxes.
Xiao Dongzi handed a booklet respectfully to Ji Qingwu.
"My lady, please have a look."
Ji Qingwu glanced at the emperor and saw him nod. She took it and looked at it carefully, only to find that it was a list of gifts prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the empress, with a total of 575 items.
The empress's dressing table was extraordinary. There were more than a hundred items of court crowns, court beads, and court gowns alone, not to mention jewelry and the like.
Ji Qingwu knew that each piece was a treasure just by looking at the long names.
She took a breath and opened a tray covered with red silk cloth on the table. What she saw was a bright red phoenix robe with a phoenix with spread wings embroidered with gold thread. Its feathers were folded like clouds and decorated with pearls, jade and tassels.
Just looking at the embroidery work, it would take more than one or two months to prepare.
Ji Qingwu looked back at him, and asked with bright eyes: "Your Majesty, when was this prepared?"
Zhao Mingyan raised the corners of his lips, but did not answer. He just said, "Let Xiao Dongzi accompany you home first. We'll see you tomorrow."
Ji Qingwu returned home confused.
But this return home is no ordinary return home.
Ji Qingwu went back in a sedan chair with a golden roof and bright yellow curtains, which was a sedan chair that only the emperor and empress could ride.
Xiao Dongzi followed beside her sedan chair, with two rows of guards following behind him.
Ji Qingwu had just arrived at the door of his house, before he even got out of the sedan chair, he heard the voice of greeting.
"Welcome to Her Majesty the Queen!"
Ji Qingwu paused and quickly got off the sedan chair.
Looking at the Ji family members kneeling on the ground, including Old Lady Ji, she said in surprise: "Dad and Mom, get up quickly!"
Although the enthronement of the queen was a foregone conclusion and Ji Qingwu did not reject it, but was it too much to perform such a grand ceremony now?
There were also two little guys kneeling in the middle of the crowd in an identical manner.
Ji Qingwu said: "Everyone, get up, what are you doing?"
Everyone shouted, "Thank you, Queen!"
Jiujiu shook off Nanny Li's hand and immediately rushed over to hug Ji Qingwu, saying, "Mother, mother, mother."
Ji Qingwu smiled and kissed her cheek, saying, "Mom is here."
Yuan Heng and Jiujiu often stayed together these days, and his temperament was not that mature anymore. When he saw the person he had been thinking about appear, he walked up quickly and held Ji Qingwu's hand.
The little guy looked up at her and called out, "Mother."
Ji Qingwu clenched his little hand and said, "I miss you too."
Yuan Heng's dark eyes brightened and brightened, and she knew that he missed her very much.
Ji Qingwu held the two little hands, took a deep breath, and said softly: "From now on, we will never be separated again."
She walked to the door with the two children. Ji Bolian and Qiao hadn't seen Xiaowu for a long time, but because of their status, they didn't dare to get too close to him.
Ever since Old Madam Ji learned that the emperor favored Ji Qingwu, her illness has improved a lot and her spirits have suddenly risen.
Ji Bolian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are tired from the journey. You should go in and rest first."
Seeing that Ji's father was so polite to her, Qiao did not approach her and get close to her as she did in the past.
Ji Qingwu frowned and said, "Dad and Mom, what are you doing? We are the only ones who know the Emperor's will. You don't have to be so polite."
Madam Ji was surprised and asked, "You still don't know?"
"Know what?"
Madam Ji smiled lovingly, "Yesterday, the Secretariat issued an edict to establish a queen. Now everyone on the street knows that Beili has a queen, and she is from our Ji family."
Ji Qingwu’s eyes widened. Yesterday? Isn't it when they are still on the road?
Calculating the time it took for the news from the northern border to reach Lin'an, Emperor Wu Su should have started to take care of these matters after returning to the military camp.
However, after the edict was issued, the emperor and the empress could not meet again before their marriage.
What about the see you tomorrow he said?
Qiao's eyes were red, and she said with a look of sadness and emotion: "Your Majesty, the wedding ceremony will be held tomorrow, please prepare early."
*
The Emperor and Empress of Beili are about to get married.
Everyone could see that the emperor was getting impatient.
Because Emperor Wu Su was going to marry the empress into the palace on the second day after returning from the expedition.
But all aspects of the wedding ceremony were complete, and there was nothing wrong to be found.
What shocked the world was that not only was the queen from the Ji family, but the little prince in the palace was also born to Ji Qingwu, and there was one more heir to the throne, and also a princess.
As a result, Ji Qingwu once again became a prominent figure in Lin'an City, but this time it was all envy. Even though a few noble ladies from aristocratic families felt jealous, they did not dare to say it out loud to his face.
Who made Ji Qingwu the queen of Beili? Who dares to disrespect her?
The lights in Wutong Garden were on all night.
Last time, she was still unconscious and married into the Wei family in a daze. Ji Qingwu had no time to experience how it felt to be married.
Now, although she doesn't have much time left, it is still enough for her to experience it carefully.
Bubbles were gurgling in my heart.
Ji Qingwu couldn't sleep at all, and she didn't want to sleep. She looked at the phoenix coronet and bridal bridal gown placed in the room.
"Lanzhi..."
At the hour of Yin, Aunt Fanghua led Grandma Xi and the servants and knocked on the door of Wutong Garden.
When they entered the door, they found that the bride was sitting at the dressing table, fully dressed, and looking at them with a smile.
Ji Qingwu wore a nine-phoenix crown with round and bright oriental pearls inlaid with gold threads, and the necklaces hanging on her forehead looked like broken stars.
The brocade of the shawl was as gorgeous as clouds in the sky, with phoenixes holding peonies in their beaks, spreading out in layers.
Granny Xi was a blessed lady invited from the Duke’s Mansion, and her eyes dazzled by the beauty of the woman in front of her.
Fanghua said: "Empress, this is the second wife of the Duke's Mansion."
Ji Qingwu stood up and walked lightly. The pattern of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix under his phoenix robe bloomed one after another. His graceful and elegant demeanor made the pearly light on his body dim.
She nodded and said, "Thank you."
