Chapter 253 The scholar is still a scholar, and the woman is still wearing a white dress.
On the high platform, Empress Dowager Yan, who was standing aside, tightly grasped her sleeves and looked at Huang Wei coldly.
She didn't know what Huang Wei meant!
In recent days, I have heard from my younger brother that Huang Wei from the Wanjian Sect is wavering and even hinted to other aristocratic families to compete for the position of queen.
But Empress Dowager Yan couldn't figure it out.
Yan gave Huang Wei a lot of things and respected him very much. She never did anything to let him down.
And the relationship between the two sides has always been good.
Why did he change his mind?
Empress Dowager Yan turned her head again and looked at Yan Shanao who was not far away.
Yan Shanao also shook his head solemnly, not knowing what was going on.
In fact, Huang Wei was also a little nervous at this time.
As the saying goes - it is better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage.
I really don't want to be such a bad person.
Not to mention that he had already promised the Yan family to support him.
But recently it has been causing more trouble.
I'm afraid that after today, my reputation will plummet.
But since it is the order of the sect leader, what else can I say?
That’s right, there is one thing Huang Wei doesn’t understand.
The clan leader doesn't want the talented woman from the Yan family to become the queen of Zhou. Isn't it just a matter of a word from the clan leader?
Who can go against the leader's opinion?
But the sect leader seemed to be worried about something.
"Forget it."
Huang Wei shook his head in his heart.
Just do your own thing. After today, I will find an excuse to go back to Wanjian Sect.
I have a feeling that something will happen to the King this week, and I can’t stay here any longer.
"Cough cough cough"
Huang Wei coughed a few times and explained why he objected.
"Although nine stars formed a circle yesterday, there were also seven stars forming a line, like a sword, standing beside it. This suggests that within perfection, there may be hidden dangers.
After my deduction, it is best to follow your country's normal etiquette today and refrain from making arbitrary changes that could cause trouble."
"Elder Huang is right. A wedding ceremony is no joke. This solemn ceremony must be performed in a formal ceremony. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
"I hope Your Majesty will reconsider!"
"Your Majesty! How can we get married at this time? Our ancestors would think we are playing a trick on them."
After Huang Wei spoke, other court officials quickly followed suit.
As they listened to the voices of these court officials, Empress Dowager Yan and Yan Shanao's faces turned frighteningly dark.
Both of them knew that these ministers knew that they were likely to lose the support of the Wanjian Sect.
Without the firm support of the Wanjian Sect, even though the Yan family has considerable influence in the court, the other ministers and clans can unite and keep each other warm to prevent Yan Shanao from doing anything reckless.
"Your Majesty, what Elder Huang said makes sense. Let's wait until the day of the official ceremony to hold the wedding ceremony." Empress Dowager Yan stepped forward and said.
Although Empress Dowager Yan was unwilling, what else could she do now?
It’s better to take a step back and give yourself some dignity.
"Since the Queen Mother has said so, let's just forget about it today." Xiao Mo nodded.
Xiao Mo looked calm on the surface, but he was actually secretly happy.
Judging from today's situation, the Wanjian Sect does not seem to be so supportive of the Yan family.
Something must have happened between the Wanjian Sect and the Yan family. After all, the cold Fairy Jiang looked unhappy when she mentioned the Yan family.
The reason they haven't turned against each other now is probably just to save face.
After two sticks of incense, all the procedures of the wedding were completed without any mistakes.
After the ministers left, Yan Ruxue was also taken away by Empress Dowager Yan.
Xiao Mo returned to the palace, changed into a loose Taoist robe, and then went to the imperial study.
Although Xiao Mo devoted himself to practicing Taoism and basically ignored the affairs of state, some important state policies still required Xiao Mo's seal to be stamped.
Every once in a while, Xiao Mo would go to the imperial study to deal with it.
However, because Xiao Mo increased the speed of time flow in the Book of Hundred Worlds, his mind became a little tired. In addition, the failure of this tribulation brought a considerable shock, so Xiao Mo's spirit was not very good.
After dealing with a few memorials, Xiao Mo lay down on the table to rest, intending to recuperate.
At the same time, in Lingxin Hall, Yan Ruxue had taken off her wedding dress and put on a long skirt again.
After Yan Ruxue exchanged a few words with Empress Dowager Yan, she left the palace with Huang Shangyi's farewell.
When Yan Ruxue passed by the outer wall of the imperial study, she couldn't help but stop.
Huang Shangyi saw this scene and said with a smile: "Miss, I heard that His Majesty is handling government affairs in the Imperial Study. Would you like to go in and take a look?"
"Is it okay?" Yan Ruxue asked, "According to Zhou Dynasty etiquette, Your Majesty and I can't see each other before we get married, right?"
"According to the Zhou Dynasty's etiquette, that's true, but people are alive, and rules are dead." Huang Shangyi smiled. "Besides, so many civil and military officials didn't give the Queen Mother face today, and she's very angry. What's wrong with not following some rules?"
Yan Ruxue lowered her head, thought for a moment, and smiled, "In that case, let's do as Huang Shangyi says."
Seeing Yan Ruxue agreed, Huang Shangyi hurriedly signaled to several palace maids to go and send away the palace maid and Wei Xun serving at the door.
After there was no one outside the imperial study, Yan Ruxue crossed the square in front of the imperial study.
When she walked outside the imperial study, Yan Ruxue faintly heard the steady breathing of the man inside.
Yan Ruxue smiled slightly, did not knock on the door, but quietly opened the door and walked in slowly.
In the imperial study, Xiao Mo was sleeping on the desk.
"Um"
Suddenly, Xiao Mo frowned, as if he had had some dream, and he looked a little painful.
Yan Ruxue stretched out her finger and gently tapped Xiao Mo's forehead.
Warm spiritual power entered Xiao Mo's body.
Soon, Xiao Mo's brows relaxed and he slept even more soundly.
The woman gently brushed the hem of her skirt, squatted down, folded her hands on the desk, rested her fair chin on her arms, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes blinked at the sleeping man.
The sun shone through the window sill into the study. The fine dust reflected the midday sun and quietly fell on the two of them.
As she watched, the woman stretched out her white and tender fingers and gently poked his cheek.
Xiao Mo felt itchy in his sleep, rubbed his cheek against his arm, and continued to sleep.
The woman smiled and continued to look at him quietly.
Seven thousand years ago.
In a small village, there was a scholar who liked to read in the yard.
The scholar has a habit.
If he was too tired, he would lie on the stone table to rest.
At this time, the girl in the white dress would be like a kitten, with her little hands scratching on the desk, looking at him level, and poking his cheek from time to time.
Just like now.
Seven thousand years later.
Even if a scholar becomes an emperor.
Even if a woman controls the world.
But it seems.
A scholar is still a scholar.
The woman was still wearing a white dress.
