The seventh day of October.
Tomorrow is the day of engagement. The two monarchs are naturally different from the common people. This process requires very complicated etiquette.
Inside the palace of King Xuan.
The four maids Fenghuaxueyue and Xie Hongling were all busy in the room, choosing this and that for Lu Yunyan.
She had already changed several sets of clothes, and finally, at the suggestion of several women, she wore a bright red outfit.
The red brocade is gorgeous. Although it is not a wedding dress, it is still solemn and festive. It is similar to Hanfu and very grand.
She was absolutely beautiful, and under the bright red color, her fair skin was set off like the morning glow reflecting the snow.
After finishing arranging the classical women's hair accessories, she stood up and looked down at herself, then looked at Fengqing and others, and asked nervously: "How was it?"
The girls all looked smiling, and Xie Hongling immediately said, "Your Majesty is so beautiful."
"That's what you can say." Lu Yunyan's face turned a little red. Today, she was undoubtedly in a nervous and happy mood.
The eighth day of October.
The Xuanwang Palace was filled with joy, and all civil and military officials gathered to watch the ceremony.
Outside the palace, a red carpet paved an avenue.
Not long after, the majestic horn sounded, and Xiao Yuan and Lu Yunyan walked towards the palace unhurriedly.
She is dressed in bright red, with a floor-length robe, a gorgeous look, classical women's hair accessories, light makeup and delicate makeup, a beautiful face, and a hint of shyness.
We have gone through some complicated etiquette before. This is the last step. Once completed, the marriage is finalized.
But when the two of them were about to step up the steps, Yao Tingyu finally couldn't help it anymore, stood up and stopped Xiao Yuan, raised his hands and saluted: "His Royal Highness King Qin..."
Xiao Yuan knew what he was going to say even with his eyes closed. Hearing this, he was furious. Before he could finish speaking, he shouted loudly:
"Bold! You have blocked the marriage between me and Queen Xuan over and over again. Today, if anyone dares to say anything else and ruin the great celebration, I, the King of Heaven, cannot save him!"
Such words already mean that Xiao Yuan is furious. If he dares to stop him again, he will probably do whatever it takes!
After all, he is the King of Qin. Yao Tingyu couldn't help but swallowed when he heard this. He dared to say anything more, and he had already agreed before. Now he could only take one step at a time.
He quickly gave another salute, laughed dryly, and retreated angrily.
Xiao Yuan's anger remained unabated and he glared at Yao Tingyu fiercely.
Lu Yunyan pulled him lightly and whispered: "Brother Wang..."
Feeling her nervousness and slight complaint, Xiao Yuan secretly held her little hand, but looked around and said coldly: "These civil servants are so unreasonable! Do you really think I am still bullying you!"
These words seemed to be said deliberately to Minister Xuan Guo.
Hearing this, Yao Tingyu and others lowered their heads slightly and glanced at each other subconsciously.
Then, the ceremony continued as usual. After Xiao Yuan and Lu Yunyan arrived at the palace, they performed some complicated etiquette. Then, they stretched out their arms in front of a table, covered their right hands with their left hands, and sat on the ground facing each other.
This scene is like a wedding.
She is really beautiful today, with the morning glow reflecting the snow, her eyebrows picturesque, her eyes moving, her eyelashes thick and long, her light makeup exquisite, and her red lips alluring.
Being shy and nervous, he didn't dare to look at Xiao Yuan.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Xiao Yuan took out a gold hairpin and carefully inserted it into her hair.
Lu Yunyan lowered her head shyly.
Yan Ming acted as the etiquette officer at the scene. After Xiao Yuan finished these actions, he immediately shouted loudly: "Please raise your glasses to the two monarchs."
The two of them picked up the wine glasses in front of them at the same time. There were red threads on the glasses.
"Drink together——"
The two of them covered their mouths with their sleeves at the same time and drank from their glasses.
Yan Ming also shouted again: "Today Qin Xuan's marriage has been decided, a match made in heaven, and the ceremony is completed——"
At this point, everything has settled.
Xie Hongling, Fengqing and others were watching the ceremony with smiles on their faces, happy for King Xuan.
When Yao Tingyu and others heard Yan Ming's words of courtesy, they all shook their heads and sighed secretly.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Ming and others on the Qin side and Wang Su on the Xuan side knelt down at the same time, and said in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty——"
When Yao Tingyu and others who were opposed saw this, they all had no choice but to kneel down and shout together.
Lu Yunyan became more and more shy and her face turned red.
Xiao Yuan was also in a good mood. Looking at the shy girl in front of him, he really wanted to hold her in his arms.
But there were too many people at the scene. In the era at that time, it was too rude to do so, and he didn't dare. Besides, Xuan Guo paid the most attention to etiquette.
However, after the two of them stood up, he still held Lu Yunyan's little hand and said to all the Xuanguo ministers: "Now that the ceremony has been completed and it's getting late, please go to the banquet."
Everyone saluted.
Yao Tingyu looked at the minister next to him, and then couldn't help but stand up, cupping his hands and reminding him: "Your Highness, King Qin, you and my king are not married yet. Today is just an engagement ceremony. Please do everything with courtesy." Heavy."
As he said this, he glanced at Xiao Yuan's hand holding Lu Yunyan's hand, and the meaning was already obvious.
Seeing this, Lu Yunyan quickly pulled back her little hand and lowered her head slightly, obviously ashamed.
Xiao Yuan, who was in a good mood just now, was a little annoyed again. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pointed: "Yao Tingyu!"
Just when he was about to scold him, Lu Yunyan quickly tugged at his sleeve secretly and whispered urgently: "Brother Wang!"
Under such circumstances, Xiao Yuan could only take a deep breath, calm down his mood, stared at Yao Tingyu and said: "Master Xiangguo's words are serious."
The tone was a bit cold. Yao Tingyu carefully looked at his face, said nothing more, and then stepped back after saluting.
Regarding this veteran official of the Xuan Kingdom, Xiao Yuan knew his talents very well, and he was the prime minister. From his standpoint, he was naturally opposed to it.
Yao Tingyu had no fault. On the contrary, his starting point was to consider Xuanguo, but his perspective was different from Wang Su's.
Next, near noon, everyone began to go to the banquet place in twos and threes.
On the way, whispers are naturally inevitable.
Fu Qingyi said with worry on his face: "Prime Minister, the etiquette of Qin State is now complete and so solemn. I'm afraid this is going to be bad."
"In addition, the King of Qin is so domineering that he is almost furious. There is no way to stop him..."
Fortunately, it was Yao Tingyu who stood up and said a few words before. If it were him, he really wouldn't dare. Although Xiao Yuan is the Lord of Qin, in front of Xuanchen, his royal power is still there.
"Alas." Yao Tingyu also sighed and said quietly: "This is the end of the matter, let's take it one step at a time."
The ministers left here, and Xiao Yuan and Lu Yunyan were the last to leave.
Seeing how beautiful she was in her bright red dress, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but want to put his arms around her waist and kiss her lips.
But how could Lu Yunyan dare to let him do this in this palace? She hurriedly pushed him away, her face red.
