"Bang--"
Another soft sound.
The colorful fireworks were like paintings drawn in the sky, extremely beautiful.
Gu Jingchun looked up at the beautiful scenery in the sky, his eyes filled with amazement and emotion.
Then Shen Hechuan whispered in his ear.
Do you like it?
"Did I make this especially for you?"
Gu Jingchun raised an eyebrow.
"You did this?"
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"I was planning to surprise you with our wedding, but now that I know your birthday, I naturally want you to witness it in person."
As they spoke, the fireworks in the sky transformed into a red heart.
This drew gasps of surprise from the crowd.
As the noble ladies gazed at the stunning fireworks, their eyes fell upon Gu Jingchun, and then upon Shen Hechuan's deeply affectionate eyes.
Immediately, his eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
After all, few women could resist a handsome and affectionate young emperor.
At this moment, Shen Hechuan was unaware that the birthday gift he had specially prepared for Gu Jingchun had been deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the noble ladies.
Many noble ladies, after this day, went back to pester their fathers, desperately wanting to enter the palace to be selected as concubines.
At this moment, Gu Erli and Ye Wenxi came out after hearing the commotion, and both snorted coldly after seeing what they saw.
"Fancy and over-the-top!"
"You're such a sissy!"
The two exchanged a glance in unison, then immediately looked away in disgust.
After all the fireworks had faded, Shen Hechuan sat down next to Gu Jingchun.
Seeing that Shen Hechuan had sat down, everyone was able to sit down as well.
Soon, at Gu Jingchun's command, a wonderful performance began on the stage in the center.
On the stage, a man dressed in a dance costume, holding a long sword, began to perform a dashing sword dance, causing the noble ladies to blush.
Gu Jingchun, on the other hand, watched with great interest, completely unaware that Shen Hechuan's expression had become quite unpleasant.
Just then, countless birds suddenly appeared overhead.
Colorful birds circled overhead, forming a ring around them.
"Wow!"
A bird's cry with great penetrating power rang out.
Like jade striking each other, the sound is clear and melodious.
A huge bird flew into the middle of the flock.
Its long tail is like a brocade covered with stars, and its colorful wings spread out, shimmering with a glass-like luster in the sunlight.
The feathered crest on its head stood proudly, like a crown made of pure gold.
"Wow!"
Another round of debate ensued.
The bird had flown to the top of Gu Jingchun's head and was circling above him.
Its long tail spread out in all directions, like scattered rays of light.
It circled above Gu Jingchun's head again and again before leading the birds to take flight and continue soaring in the sky.
Everyone looked up, astonished by this strange scene.
"What kind of bird is that?!"
Someone murmured something, but no one answered.
Jiang Mingwan's usually calm face turned ashen at that moment.
Clever as she is, she immediately saw through the deception.
The people who were enjoying their meal at the entrance couldn't help but gasp in amazement at the sight.
The people rushed out of their rooms, looking up in astonishment at the scene.
"This is a phoenix!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, instantly eliciting gasps of amazement.
"This is a phoenix!"
"So this is a phoenix!"
"Why does this phoenix keep circling here?"
"Is that even a question? This phoenix is a divine bird. When a divine bird appears in the world, all birds sing in chorus. It's a once-in-a-millennium event. What does that mean?"
What does this mean?
"This means that Gu Jingchun is none other than our chosen Empress of Dacheng!"
"With her protection, our Great Cheng will enjoy favorable weather and abundant harvests, and the people will live in peace and prosperity."
The people nodded in agreement as they spoke.
Finally, no one knows who started it, but everyone spontaneously knelt down and began shouting in Gu Jingchun's direction.
"Long live the Empress!"
"Her Majesty the Empress enjoys good health and longevity, and is protected by the divine bird. She will surely protect our Great Cheng and ensure that everything goes smoothly for us."
The crowd kept shouting along.
The situation was on the verge of spiraling out of control.
Gu Jingchun glanced at Shen Hechuan.
Shen Hechuan patted her reassuringly before speaking:
"It's alright, go and make them get up."
Gu Jingchun nodded, then went out to calm the people down and told them to get up and go home as soon as possible.
When the people saw Gu Jingchun come out, they immediately stood up obediently, expressed their loyalty to Gu Jingchun, and then left.
The rumor that "the divine bird descended to earth to protect all living beings" spread rapidly throughout the entire capital and soon reached the entire Great Cheng.
However, Gu Jingchun did not show any joy on his face at this moment.
She looked up at the sky again, but the phoenix was gone.
But the noble ladies in front of him had different expressions.
Situ Mingji's face was full of resentment.
Jiang Mingwan's face was also extremely ugly.
Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, were clenched tightly together.
She didn't believe in any divine bird descending to earth; this was probably just a smokescreen used by Gu Jingchun to ensure a smooth marriage to Shen Hechuan.
but.
She looked at Shen Hechuan's expressionless face.
No emperor likes the feeling of being chosen by heaven and receiving a prophecy.
