Amidst the gloom and gloom, the coronation ceremony arrived. All the officials outside changed into new official uniforms. The civil officials were led by Gao Xunzhi, the military officials were led by Wang Xinyong, and Qu Yunmie stood in the newly built palace, having Xiao Rong give him the final inspection of the details.
At this time, dragon robes came in all colors, but the most solemn color was black. Xiao Rong's hand stroked the dark golden dragon pattern on it, and after a moment of silence, he raised the corners of his lips.
Qu Yunmie stared at him, as if he couldn't get enough of him. He asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at, Ah Rong?"
Xiao Rong took a deep breath and said, "I laugh - the passing of time and the changes in people."
He raised his head and asked Qu Yunmie: "If it was a year ago, would you have thought that this day would come?"
Qu Yunmie also smiled silently. This was naturally unexpected.
No one could have imagined that he could become emperor, nor could they have imagined that he and Xiao Rong would end up together.
But precisely because he could not expect it, today seemed like a beautiful dream that he had strayed into, but he could not wake up from this dream. Every day when he opened his eyes, the beautiful dream was still there.
Qu Yunmie stared at Xiao Rong. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, making him unable to speak. He didn't know what he could say at this moment. But it didn't matter. Xiao Rong always understood what he meant. From the beginning to now, Xiao Rong always, always understood what he meant.
Raising his head, Xiao Rong took the initiative to kiss Qu Yunmie. The entanglement of lips and teeth lasted only a few seconds, but Qu Yunmie seemed to have left his soul in Xiao Rong.
Seeing Qu Yunmie's uneasy look, Xiao Rong couldn't help but smile again: "Okay, let's go quickly, we'll miss the auspicious time soon."
Qu Yunmie muttered: "It would be great if you would urge me like this on the day we get married."
Xiao Rong: “…”
Although he complained, Qu Yunmie still walked forward. There were no lights in the palace, and the brightest place was the palace gate. It was still early morning. The farther Qu Yunmie was from Xiao Rong, the longer his shadow became. This time, he finally met the best ending.
Xiao Rong lowered his eyes, feeling mixed emotions. Suddenly, he heard Qu Yunmie's unhappy voice: "You're just urging me. Why don't you leave? Are you going to regret it, Xiao Rong? It was you who said that as long as I memorized all the prayers, you would walk through the entire ceremony with me!"
Xiao Rong: “…………”
Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll lose your patience and quit? Otherwise, I wouldn't take on this hard job!
Holding his breath, Xiao Rong walked to Qu Yunmie with an unhappy look on his face, straightened his gorgeous clothes, and glared at Qu Yunmie: "You are so sensitive and suspicious."
Qu Yunmie said angrily: "You said you wouldn't scold me again!"
Xiao Rong: "You said you wouldn't bring up the past. Did you do that?"
Qu Yunmie was choked back by Xiao Rong. He was also holding back his anger, but he really couldn't win the argument with Xiao Rong. Looking at the civil and military officials waiting outside, Qu Yunmie gave in and said, "...get out first."
Xiao Rong also snorted: "I'll settle the score with you after the ceremony."
Finally, the two men went out one after the other, and the honor guard behind them looked at each other silently, with a feeling of vicissitudes in their hearts.
It was a nice day today, but why did they feel like these dark days had just begun...
