Dumb Queen

Chapter 5 The Dumb Queen 1
In the sixth year of Emperor Xuanzong's reign, on August [-]th, Zhuang Yi was holding the phoenix chariot hovering with a golden phoenix. Behind him was the majestic inner eunuch, and following the layers of open arches, Zhuang Yi couldn't help but secretly clenched his hands.

In my heart, how I longed to see the back of my heart.

The road in the palace is so long, it seems that there is no end to it.

After an unknown amount of time, the sedan chair finally stopped.

The first-class woman knelt down to Xuanzong who was wearing a golden dragon robe: "All blessings to the emperor, the empress and empress are coming to enter the palace in person, please lift up the sedan chair curtain in person."

Xuanzong kept a silent face, never showing any joy.

After a short pause, he walked to the phoenix chariot, opened the sedan chair expressionlessly, and stretched out his hand.

Zhuang Yi's heart suddenly beat violently, and finally mustered up the courage to stretch out his hand to Xuanzong's palm, only to feel a coldness.

During the canonization process, I never heard a word of Xuanzong.

Zhuang Yi had no choice but to salute politely, and the phoenix crown on his head seemed to fall to the ground all the time.

"After the ceremony, send the queen back to Changyi Palace." The eunuch's sharp and long voice gradually sounded from the temple, and it spread far away as if it resounded to the sky.

Everyone watched Xuanzong and Zhuang Yi go away, and also avoided Zhuang Zhengxun's presence, so they all knew how to keep silent.

"King Zheng," Yin Wang pushed Chu Zheng's elbow, "Going back to Beijing from Jiangnan last night?"

While answering Chu Yin's words, Chu Zheng nodded to Princess Yin who was standing beside him: "The emperor's wedding happened suddenly, so I hurried back to the capital."

All the ministers dispersed one after another and headed towards Shanglin Garden.

Chu Yin walked behind: "It's not a good thing that old bald donkey did. The emperor wanted to occupy power when he was old enough to be in charge, so he specially arranged for his daughter to enter the palace."

Chu Zheng raised the corners of his lips: "I've heard people talk about this before."

Concubine Yin sighed: "Poor Concubine Wen, after following the emperor for so many years, she actually let a dumb girl become queen in the end."

Chu Yin stopped him: "Why are you saying these words? Aren't you looking for trouble?"

Concubine Yin couldn't help being angry: "As a woman, she is naturally worthless for Concubine Wen. How can she, Zhuang Yi, be a queen? She can't even speak! What's more, the emperor only has Concubine Wen in his heart. What is she?"

Chu Yin's face became more and more ugly: "The affairs of the palace are the same as those of the imperial court. Why do you meddle so much with you, a woman?"

Chu Zheng hurriedly smoothed things over: "Prince Yin and Concubine Wang should stop arguing, today is the day of great joy for the Emperor and Empress, so don't say such words."
