The eighth day of the second lunar month is an auspicious day for ascending the throne.
Yes, it was the ascension to the throne, as calculated by Lou Qingming.
Red carpets covered the ground inside and outside the palace, and flags fluttered in the wind on the city walls.
The Imperial Guards on both sides of the red carpet have been replaced by Long'er's private army. They are no longer private soldiers; they are now the emperor's personal guards.
The girl was dressed in a golden dragon robe, with a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon.
There were also many people watching the spectacle outside the palace. After living for so many years, they were still able to see the Empress ascend the throne. But she was already the Prince of Zhenbei, so what was wrong with being an emperor?
The important thing is that they are marrying the emperor's grandson today.
Huo Xiaolong looked at the red carpet beneath her feet; this was a step she had taken fifteen years to take.
Throughout his life, Huo Xiaolong was a person who understood human nature and could empathize with the suffering of others.
The young girl walked on the red carpet toward the main hall.
The first thing I need to do today is to grow my hair to the temples.
The eldest princess has made all the arrangements; there are three things to do today, and they must all be accomplished.
When he reached temples, he was made empress and ascended the throne.
On the first step of the main hall, Hou Xiangxiang was waiting for her, holding a hymn of praise.
When she reached the age of twilight, she also wanted her friends to sing her praises. The king of the grasslands also wanted to sing, but the princess said that she was a foreign subject and it was against the rules. She suggested that he read the congratulatory message for her investiture as empress instead. That would be fine, at least it could be arranged.
Da Ni'er was furious. She thought it was against the rules and insisted on doing it her way.
Helpless, Huo Xiaolong held a coming-of-age ceremony at home and had Da Ni'er sing a song.
The dark-skinned woman has a big heart; I'm happy as soon as I finish reciting, no matter when.
May you be as pure and elegant as the morning dew, as resilient and unyielding as a pine tree, and as steadfast as the coldest winter. May your wisdom be boundless, your heart be kind, your courtesy be paramount, your sincerity be genuine, and your conduct benevolent. May you forge ahead on your life's journey, fearless of wind and rain, ultimately achieving your desires, enjoying lasting blessings, and attaining great success.
After the little girl finished reading the eulogy, she touched her forehead with the paper with the blessing written on it.
Xiangxiang dressed elegantly and dignifiedly today, instead of wearing her favorite clothes.
“Our Long’er will definitely achieve great success.”
The paper touched the pearl on the girl's head. Today, Huo Xiaolong had nothing else on her head except a golden crown, which was inlaid with the largest pearls from the phoenix crowns of the sisters who had married at Fengyue Tower.
The bright-eyed girl winked at Xiangxiang, tilted her head slightly, and replied:
"Absolutely."
As the little girl watched the girl she had grown up with climb the steps one by one, her eyes welled up with tears.
It's so wonderful to have met her in this lifetime.
When Long'er reached the middle platform, Lan Tingche was led out by a palace servant.
She was dressed in bright red and had no veil covering her head.
At that time, the eldest princess wanted her grandson to have his entire head covered by a veil.
Long'er stopped them.
What's the point of covering it?
My brother Tingche is so good-looking, he deserves to be seen.
Long'er placed her palm down, waiting for the man to place his hand in hers.
Everyone around was very happy. The older sisters were moved to tears as they watched their younger sister's happiness, and some of them had already started wiping away tears.
The two mothers looked at the newlyweds with loving eyes. Tingche was a good child; they had watched him grow up, and he was truly good to Long'er.
Only the eagle didn't look. He turned his face away, took He Yi's hand, and burst into tears in front of everyone.
He Yi retorted to him several times but couldn't hold back.
Why should she be friends with someone else? Can't my daughter be on her own?
Why does she have to have other men around? Let alone the emperor's granddaughter, any father thinks his daughter is the purest, cutest, kindest, and best woman in the world, and no one is good enough for her. Even if the Emperor himself came, he wouldn't like looking at her.
"Alright, stop crying. Look how many people are watching you. Your father is the Emperor. How embarrassing," He Yi whispered in Xiong Ying's ear.
"I just... I just can't bear to part with Long'er."
"What's there to be reluctant about? We're living in the palace, and our place is right next to our daughter, no more than ten steps away."
"I just don't want Long'er to have... men around her."
"But she's been surrounded by women since she was little, with Lan Tingche being the only man. Think about it, we've known each other since childhood. Wouldn't you feel even worse if it were someone else?"
He Yi coaxed and coaxed the eagle until it finally stopped whining.
Huo Shuwen thought about it and agreed.
I know exactly what it's like, I understand it all.
"Brother Tingche."
Long'er smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she looked at her beloved.
She had only ever seen one woman by Huo Xiaolong's side, and coincidentally, he suited her taste.
The girl had thought that if she never met the person who made her heart flutter, it would be fine to stay single like in her past life.
But there was nothing she could do; Tingche was just too much to her liking.
It seems like this person is her soulmate, they are a perfect match.
The man beside the girl tightened his fingers and closed her hand.
They are a perfect match, how could they not be?
From the moment they realized their feelings for each other, they knew they had to be a good match.
Long'er loves going out to fight, but is not good at housework.
That's something he excels at.
Long'er likes to climb over walls and play, but she's not good at sewing.
That's something he excels at.
As long as I'm by your side, what I look like doesn't matter; having you is the most important thing.
The man in the wedding robes was happier than if he had won a battle.
Hua Luan and Cen Ang held the memorial tablets of the former Crown Prince and Crown Princess, unable to hold back their tears.
Tingche also got married; she became the Crown Princess.
Our children have grown up.
"From now on, we'll live together, and you can make me soup every day."
Long'er is very open and straightforward in acknowledging and expressing her feelings.
In the future, she and Tingche will have children, and they will live happily ever after, hand in hand, until they grow old together.
Lan Tingche lowered his head shyly and said something.
"good."
The two of them were surrounded by a lot of pink bubbles, with Da Nier pouting as she looked at Yuwen Helan.
Can we begin? I need to read the wedding congratulatory message.
The woman winked at Da Ni'er, "Read it, read it."
But before reading, the grassland king still revealed his true nature.
"You must be good to Long'er, you can't lie to her, and you can't change your mind."
"Do you understand? Speak up."
Da Ni'er's voice was very soft. She hadn't been the Queen of the Grasslands for nothing. She had read a lot of history books about the power of maternal relatives and so on.
She wasn't worried about Lan Tingche having relatives by marriage, but she was afraid that Long'er would be heartbroken.
He's restless; just beat him up.
But how heartbroken Long'er must be! Betrayal by childhood sweethearts is the most painful thing.
"Don't worry, Da Ni'er."
The grassland queen was dressed in formal attire today, with several small braids on her head. She unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict in her hand and read a lot of it in a rapid-fire manner.
Anyway, Long'er only remembered the last sentence.
May you have a long and happy marriage.
"We will definitely have a long and happy marriage."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
