An Jinyan stood beside Ling Yue, glanced at her with the side of his eyes, and sneered softly. The sound was so small that only Ling Yue could hear it.
Ling Yue came back to his senses, clenched his teeth, and felt angry.
Su Jingyao has been pretending in front of His Majesty, but His Majesty has always hated scheming women. She doesn't believe that Su Jingyao can pretend in front of His Majesty for her entire life.
When His Majesty knows Su Jingyao's true nature, he will definitely regret his decision today!
Ling Yue ignored An Jinyan's ridicule, looked straight ahead, and kept comforting herself in her heart.
Lin Miaoyin, who was standing aside, had a complicated look in her eyes, her gaze fixed on His Majesty from beginning to end, and her thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the time when she first entered the palace.
At that time, all she wanted was to live peacefully in this deep palace. If she could get a little favor from His Majesty, she would be satisfied.
However, after entering the harem, her favor among all the new concubines stood out like a crane among chickens, and even Ye Yaqin was far inferior to her.
Look at His Majesty again, he is so handsome, like a god descending from the sky. Which girl would not be moved by him?
Before she knew it, her heart was completely devoted to His Majesty.
At this moment, the emperor and the empress stood together, so well-matched, as if they were a match made in heaven.
Lin Miaoyin looked at the queen and felt a sense of inferiority in her heart.
In terms of appearance, she knew that she was not as stunningly beautiful as the queen; in terms of family background, she could not be compared with the queen.
But in this feeling of inferiority, she had a vague suspicion in her heart.
Your Majesty is the emperor of the country, standing at the pinnacle of power. Such a person may not love anyone, including the queen.
Thinking about it this way, do I still have a chance?
Even though the chance was slim, it was like a small spark that ignited a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Ye Yaqin's eyes were fixed on the queen.
When she was still a student, people often compared her with Su Jingyao.
After entering the harem, she was ambitious and wanted to compete with Su Jingyao. She longed to sit on the throne of queen and restore the Ye family to its former glory instead of being inferior to the Su family.
But the reality is so cruel. Even after entering the palace, she is inferior to Su Jingyao in every way.
In terms of talent, temperament, and strategy, she was at a disadvantage.
Even in terms of His Majesty's favor, she is not as good as Lin Miaoyin.
All of this made Ye Yaqin feel unwilling and frustrated.
She didn't understand why she tried so hard but could never surpass Su Jingyao. This feeling of powerlessness followed her like a shadow, making it almost suffocating for her.
But her ambition will not be extinguished because of this. One day, she will let everyone see that she, Ye Yaqin, is no worse than Su Jingyao!
Above the hall, the emperor and empress sat side by side.
The ceremonial officer, dressed in solemn attire, read the enthronement edict aloud, his voice powerful and echoing in the hall.
"Today, the Imperial Noble Consort is enthroned as the Empress, the Mother of the Nation, and the Empress..."
All the ministers and concubines knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor" in unison. The sound rose and fell like waves, shaking people's hearts.
After the coronation ceremony, Su Jingyao returned to Kunning Palace surrounded by people.
Although Jun Zechen and she had already been husband and wife, today, he announced in front of all the people in the world that she was his queen and his wife. This day was of special significance and unique to both of them.
Su Jingyao returned to Kunning Palace without taking off her phoenix crown and gorgeous clothes. She sat upright on the bed, waiting for Jun Zechen to come in.
He arrived not long after. Under the guidance of the female official, the two completed all the rituals and then reported to the palace servants for dismissal. Only two people were left in the bedroom.
Jun Zechen slowly approached and personally took off her phoenix crown and hairpin.
In an instant, her black hair fell apart, and Su Jingyao was stared at by his hungry eyes. She felt as if his gaze had substance, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.
Her face began to blush, and she looked shy and charming.
But Jun Zechen's eyes were always fixed on her tender red lips, and her slightly opened lips seemed to be silently inviting him.
He looked at her quietly without saying a word, but his burning gaze was worth more than a thousand words.
Su Jingyao couldn't help herself after all, and raised her eyes to look at him, with the carefully outlined corners of her eyes, like a seductive fox.
"Your Majesty." Her voice was soft and shy.
Jun Zechen's Adam's apple rolled. Although today was not the first time he saw her wearing a bright red wedding dress, when she married him as a concubine, his mood was completely different from now.
When he saw her for the first time, he was stunned by her beauty, but he was wary of her in his heart, full of suspicion and vigilance.
And today, seeing her again in the gorgeous phoenix wedding dress, her face became even more beautiful and charming, which made Jun Zechen unable to take his eyes away for a long time.
"Yaoyao is very beautiful today."
Jun Zechen's voice is low, mellow and rich, like a fine aged wine.
In front of her, he always couldn't help being tempted by her, but he was an emperor, and he didn't want to be the only one to sink, so he would cater to her preferences, including his low voice, just to make her fall in love with him more.
In the ambiguous atmosphere, there seemed to be an invisible thread between the two, pulling them tightly, making them get closer and closer, unable to extricate themselves.
Jun Zechen moved closer to her and bent down to untie her wedding dress. As he moved, the upper part of her clothes gradually came off. Su Jingyao stood up and the gorgeous clothes fell to the ground.
Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly and gently placed her face against Jun Zechen's solid chest, while her hands began to untie Jun Zechen's belt.
In a moment, Jun Zechen revealed his muscular upper body.
Her right cheek was pressed against his strong left chest, and her left hand was placed on his right chest. The warmth from Jun Zechen's body was continuously transmitted to her through her cheek and fingertips.
