Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

"Siyue is very powerful. She can think of many things that I can't think of. But she is slow in some things. I hope I can give her a stable living environment, and Daxia is such an environment."

"You take your family very seriously."

"It's better to say that everyone in the Xia Kingdom attaches great importance to their family members. Your Majesty, I have seen a lot during your time in power. You are indeed a qualified emperor. At least, you can make most of the families in Daxia feel at ease. Living in peace and stability, at this point, is already hard to come by."

"Just qualified?" Xia Yuxiao asked with a smile.

"I don't dare to speak big words. After all, there are so many virtuous and wise rulers in Great Xia before us. Compared with them, Your Majesty, you should be a little more humble?"

"Ha, yes. However, I don't think I have the ability to let the people of Daxia enjoy peace forever. The reason why the late emperor was willing to pass on the throne to me is because the late emperor has reached his limit, and the rest depends on me. This descendant will complete it—in fact, my brothers and sisters may not be inferior to me. In terms of talent, my brother who died is not inferior to me, but if they are facing the next thing, they may not be able to do it well. "

"Your Majesty, what exactly are you facing?"

Qin Ji didn't have so many so-called rules when chatting in private, so he simply asked directly.

"...Anyway, I'm going to get married. Let me tell you in advance, it's a chance for you to regret it."

Xia Yuxiao said with a wry smile.

Afterwards, she sat beside Qin Ji.

"Qin Ji, if I say that I may plunge the entire Great Xia into a war that will sweep across the country in the future—or even a war that may destroy the country if it fails, then are you still willing to support me?"

Qin Ji froze for a moment.

He looked at Xia Yuxiao, and from her expression, he couldn't see any joking elements in it.

At this moment, images of countless war madnesses in his original world appeared in his mind.

Will she do it?

"Your Majesty, I want to ask, is this an inevitable war?"

"At present, I am afraid it is inevitable."

"...Then I feel that I have no other choice but to support you. However, perhaps, as rumors spread by some people, it may be avoided after I replace you?"

He made a joke.And only he can make such a joke.

"Maybe, but I don't dare to gamble anymore."

Chapter 76 Big Wedding

wedding day.

On this day, all the inside and outside of Tai'an City were completely put under martial law by all kinds of sentries, and the Dragon Guards were responsible for guarding the safety of the palace, while the dangerous factors in Tai'an City and its surrounding areas were ruled out by Huilin.

Lingyan woke up early in the morning and started her own busy work. She recalled a considerable part of Huilin's forces outside, and then specially set up secret sentries and plainclothes on the important streets of Tai'an City. These Linlin guards are always watching everyone's actions on the street. , once an abnormality occurs, the danger will be ruled out as soon as possible.

Of course, the work of Lingyan is not done for nothing.

I will definitely not be able to catch up with today's wedding, and even if I make it, it is not particularly friendly to her to see the young master and His Majesty get married-after all, although she is very open-minded, she is really married. Knowing enough to go to watch the wedding.

After finishing today's work, Lingyan's most likely place to make herself happy today is the last link of marriage - the bridal chamber.

According to the tradition of Daxia, even the emperor, the last part of marriage is to enter the bridal chamber, that is to say, tonight is a big challenge for Xia Yuxiao.

As for Lingyan, as a person who often "exchanges feelings" with Qin Ji, she is naturally very aware of the gap between the two. In order to make herself fully happy today, she had her own bad intentions early on——

First of all, during the period before the big wedding, she never asked Qin Ji again, which is also reasonable. She has just recovered from her injury, and she is not suitable for such a big move now.

In addition, in the name of taking care of Qin Ji, she arranged for the imperial physician in the palace to prepare a lot of tonic for Qin Ji.The implementation of this plan is quite laborious, because Qin Ji's physical fitness is already strong enough, if he supplements it forcibly, it may be counterproductive, so the tonic prescribed by the imperial doctors still took a lot of effort to design. of.

Finally, before the wedding day, she always told Qin Ji not to forget to practice kung fu.

All in all, it's all part of the plan.

And the ultimate goal of this plan...is her personal selfishness—to avenge her previous revenge "a little bit".

Your Majesty, don't you want to ask the young master for a prince, so let you enjoy the process of "making a prince" until you don't want to enjoy it anymore.

Thinking of this, Lingyan showed a happy smile.

"To be honest, today is really not peaceful."

Deputy Commander Li next to him sighed and kicked the tightly bound boy.

"Your Majesty and the young master are married. Representatives from so many countries have come here, as well as envoys from various countries. Naturally, there are everyone in it, and there are definitely not a few people with malicious intentions."

The big wedding this time is going to be paraded among the people of Tai'an City. After the wedding ceremony is over, Xia Yuxiao and Qin Ji will take a driving tour in Tai'an City together, so that the people can share the joy of the king of a country. For the joy of a big wedding, in addition, respected people from all over the world will be invited to come to Tai'an City to watch the drive and have a banquet.This gave many people with malicious intentions the opportunity to attack.

Naturally, Xia Yuxiao would not have missed this point, so from the very beginning, Huilin was given a lot of power.

"It's not peaceful, and it's not a bad thing for us, at least it can prove that we are not empty-handed," Lingyan said with a sneer, "This time His Majesty entrusted us with the safety of Tai'an City, which is a rare opportunity for us." If this wedding can be successfully completed, then we will definitely benefit from it."

"That's true, but Commander," Lieutenant Commander Li muttered in a low voice, "Not long ago, the change in the dragon's veins caused everyone to have lingering fears. Some people outside said that this is a bad omen, which means that the royal family will change."

"Who said that?" Lingyan asked with a glint in her eyes.

"Some officials, but I have told them to shut up before. But even I don't know what was the reason for that time. It's okay to say that it was His Majesty's order, but if it wasn't..."

"This time the dragon vein mutation happened not far from the palace, that is to say, it is very likely that it was ordered by His Majesty. As for whether it is good or bad, I don't know. What we have to do now is to do it well." Things within the scope of duties. As for other things, it is not yet time to consider."

Lingyan could feel the changes in the dragon's veins before, it was definitely not a trivial matter, and Xia Yuxiao was not there at that time, and her teacher also left on the grounds of something, which is enough to show that they probably all went for the ceremony of.In the ceremonies and ceremonies of the royal family in previous years, there were no sacrificial activities at this time.

But now, what is the reason for the change in the dragon's veins, and what consequences will it cause, these are not things she can consider.Qin Ji didn't even know the ins and outs of this matter, let alone her.

.......................

Great Xia, above the main hall.

At this moment, inside and outside the hall, civil and military officials and members of the royal family all gather here. Inside the hall are members of the royal family, higher-ranking central officials, envoys and representatives from various countries, while outside the hall are local officials and people with high morals and high esteem. people, as well as a group of newborn babies and their parents.

Inside and outside the hall, black and gold patterns coexist. Nine golden copper tripods are placed on the jade steps outside the hall.In the center of the jade steps is a golden dragon, which is swallowing clouds and blowing fog. On the top of the jade steps is a lifelike black bird, soaring with wings.The maids and guards walked through together, and the imperial guards and guards intertwined.

With the sound of rites and music, Xia Yuxiao walked out of the hall surrounded by maids and officials, came to the top of the jade steps, and looked down at the courtiers below.

"Worship heaven and earth, respect Taixuan, play!"

A long bell rang, and with the ringing of the old bell that was older than Prime Minister Long present, the Yuefu played the music of the celebration, and with the sound of the music, Qin Ji walked slowly from the center in a formal dress Come.

Xia Yuxiao stood on the steps, watching the familiar yet unfamiliar figure walking towards her.

Speaking of which, in the previous ceremonies, Qin Ji had always been wearing a formal armor, but it was rare to see him dressed like this - a black, red, and gold intersecting Xuanxuan.It looks quite dignified.

Then he lowered his head and glanced quietly at his thighs covered by the robe.

Grandma, how can he dress so solemnly, my clothes are just...

Hey, what can I do? If I choose it myself, I can only wear it to the end.

In front of the jade steps, Qin Ji stood still, and then, accompanied by music, he bowed.One is to worship the emperor, the second is to worship the Jiuding, and the third is to worship the golden dragon and the black bird.

After worshiping, he got up and climbed the jade steps.

Xia Yuxiao straightened her crown for the last time, faced his upward figure, walked down the third step, and stretched out her hand to take his arm.The two completed the final three levels together.

The two stood still, turned around, and worshiped the heaven and earth, the common people, and the ancestors.

Here, the real "wedding" officially begins.

Chapter 77 The Tired Wedding

Compared with the ceremonies of the previous Great Xia, the official wedding was much simplified, but the most important steps could not be simplified anyway.

Amidst the music, the Empress Dowager appeared above the hall in a grand gown, taking a side position—mainly to avoid the emperor's throne.Qin Ji and Xia Yuxiao jointly gave courtesy to the Queen Mother.Then, there was Qin Siyue on the other side.

In fact, in a normal wedding, Qin Ji's biological mother should be present to attend the ceremony, but Qin Ji's parents passed away early. For Qin Ji, the only real family members within the scope of blood are Qin Si. month.

Naturally, Qin Siyue cannot perform her duties as a mother. Therefore, Shaofu and Fengchangfu, who had considered this at the beginning, changed the etiquette in a timely manner-instead, Qin Siyue held a ritual vessel and received Qin Ji's responsibilities. worship.

The sacrificial vessel in his hand was a gold medal issued to the Qin family by the imperial court. In other words, it represented the ancestors and honor of the Qin family. Qin Ji saluted it, which was equivalent to saluting his ancestors and parents.

The two held hands and stood on the jade steps together. Afterwards, the staff of the Shaofu moved a "Dragon Chair"—that is, a large chair that allowed the two to sit together. Then the wedding ceremony began. The most important and the happiest part of it.

Feast.

The originally solemn ceremony and music suddenly became pleasant and lively, which means that the series of "ceremony" part of worshiping all parties just now is over, and the real "big joy" part of the wedding will follow.

Under the sound of flutes played by several crane masters accompanied by rites and music, pairs of cranes float up and circle in the air, while only a pair of cranes are left on the ground, playing in the middle.

A sumptuous banquet was laid out. For this ceremony, the Shaofu used almost all the maids and female officials in the palace, so that everything could be completed in an orderly and fast manner.

Each exquisite dish was passed along with Fengchang chanting the name of the dish loudly, and every time Fengchang called out the name of the dish, all the maids and female officials would agree in unison to show that the dish was guaranteed to be served. table, nothing is missing.

After confirming that the banquet was fully prepared, the two of them walked up to the dragon chair. Under Qin Ji's gesture of "please", Xia Yuxiao sat down first, and then Qin Ji sat on her left side.

The courtiers below have to wait a little longer.

Xia Yuxiao looked around the audience, then tapped the hand on the back of Qin Ji's hand lightly, indicating that she could proceed to the next step.

Qin Ji understood, and together with Xia Yuxiao raised the two jade cups placed on the table in front of them, the two held the cups to respect each other, and drank half of the wine.

Then, they exchanged their respective wine glasses and drank the other half of the wine in each other's glass.

The so-called ceremony of the wedding ceremony means the real establishment of the relationship between the two parties from the ceremony.

The courtiers congratulated in unison, Xia Yuxiao raised her hand amidst the congratulations:

"My lords, take your seats."

The banquet officially started.

......................

Looking at the happy and peaceful scene in front of him, Qin Ji felt as if he was in a dream.

From the panic when I just came to this world at the beginning, to the mysteries later, to all the misunderstandings, conflicts, and trusts I experienced with Xia Yuxiao...

It's only been such a short time, but now it feels like a long time has passed.

The current self has a higher and more important status than his father, holds military power, is in charge of many affairs in the court, controls the Huilin Office, and now officially becomes a member of the royal family... Now, he is in Daxia It is really a person who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Starting today, many of my ambitions may be realized.

only......

I always feel uneasy.

Ever since he came to this world, he has been trying to find the truth of his coming to this world—and Qin Siyue is the same.He didn't believe it was a coincidence that he was sent to this world, and he absolutely didn't believe that he and his sister could become the Qin Ji and Qin Siyue of this world by such a coincidence.

So far, the doubts in his heart have not been explained. Under such circumstances, he will feel uneasy from time to time.

"what happened?"
