Chu Si lifted the sedan curtain with her right hand and bent down to get out of the sedan.
When the bearers saw the prince getting out of the sedan chair, they got on the sedan chair and ran away.
It seemed that what happened before still left them with lingering fears. As for the money for the sedan chair, the prince's father-in-law had already paid it.
Chu Si looked at the open space in front of the Zhengtai Gate filled with civil and military officials.
Not far away are the princes and princesses who have left the palace. Chu Si straightened her clothes and went straight there.
He came to a young man in a python robe and saluted: "I have met the First Emperor Brother," and then looked at a beautiful woman in purple palace attire and said with a smile, "I have met the Second Emperor Sister."
"Brother Si, you have lost a lot of weight." The eyes of the second emperor sister Chu Zhiruo reflected tenderness.
"Thank you, Second Princess, for your concern." There was a complex meaning in Chu Si's eyes. She was the only one in the royal family who could treat others equally and tolerate them all with tenderness.
Then he spoke to a man wearing a golden carp suit: "I've met the Third Emperor Brother."
Chu Lin looked at the man in front of him: "Fourth brothers don't need to be polite, they are all brothers."
Chu Yu felt strange at this moment: "I don't have such a brother."
"Chu Yu, shut up! You haven't apologized to the Fourth Emperor Brother yet" Chu Zhiruo's eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
Chu Lin said: "That's it, what does the third brother say?" "You have no control over what I say." After saying that, Chu Yu walked aside with a flourish of his sleeves.
Chu Lin looked at Chu Si, wearing a hypocritical mask, and smiled slightly, "Fourth brother, I apologize to you on behalf of third brother."
Chu Si didn't care about Yaoyao's head, but the second emperor sister was interested in exchanging interesting things with him.
After waiting for today, everything will be rewritten!
The fifth prince Chu Heng, who was wearing a golden carp uniform, came to the third prince and comforted him in a low voice: "What's wrong with third brother? It's a good thing that the eldest brother became the prince. Why are you losing your temper with the eldest brother again?"
Chu Yu was not angry: "I'm just not convinced. Why is he better than me in everything? My father only notices him every time. No matter what I do, my father doesn't notice me. Everything is It belongs to the eldest brother. Even the position of the prince belongs to the eldest brother. This is unfair."
Chu Heng replied: "Third brother, the eldest brother is the eldest son. The position of the prince belongs to the eldest brother. Have you forgotten what the queen mother told us? We are brothers and we should support each other."
"I understand the truth, but I'm still not convinced." Seeing Chu Heng, he wanted to persuade him: "Thank you, fifth brother, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I will figure it out."
Chu Heng didn't believe it: "Third brother, just listen to me. Don't do anything bad today. Otherwise, your mother will worry about you again. Don't treat fourth brother like this again. No matter what After all, he is also the heir of my father."
Chu Yu frowned: "Why did I make my mother worry about me again? Am I like the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation? As for 'him', I never thought that 'he' was our brother. Hmph, don't worry. Yes, I will pay attention." After Chu Yu said this, he turned and walked aside.
Even though he said that, Chu Heng looked at Chu Yu's expression when he left and knew that Chu Yu meant what he said. Looking at his back when he left, Chu Heng's lips revealed a hint of a sneer.
A bell was rung in the square
When Chen time arrived, all civil and military officials walked in from the east side door of Zhengtai Gate according to their official positions.
The princes and princesses entered from the west side door. As for the main entrance of Zhengtai Gate, only the emperor could enter and exit.
When the emperor gets married, the queen enters once, and the three people who win the first prize, second place, and third prize in the imperial examination can walk out of this door once.
Ministers of civil and military affairs can enter and exit through the east door, and royal family members and princes can enter and exit through the west door.
Chu Si naturally entered through the west door and followed a road to the Huaqing Palace on the central island of Qingyi Lake.
After arriving at their positions, civil and military officials at all levels stood in line with their rank. Chu Si stood with his brothers, waiting for the emperor's arrival.
Huaqing Hall
This is where the crown prince has always been enthroned. Everyone stood in the open space of His Highness Hua Qing and waited solemnly.
Beside the clearing, there were a large number of imperial guards standing. There were more than a thousand of them, all of whom were masters of Anjin. The chief and deputy chief of the imperial guards were even masters of 'Hua Jin'.
At this moment, a high-pitched voice sounded: "The Emperor has arrived."
I saw a group of people walking from the side of Huaqing Palace, headed by a man, wearing the emperor's regular clothes, over fifty years old, with a majestic appearance, walking like a dragon or a tiger. It was the current sage, Emperor Jiankang, Yuanqi of Chu.
Next to her was a beautiful middle-aged woman, wearing the queen's uniform. She was none other than the current empress, Zhou Ning, and her father was the current imperial master Zhou Yanru.
Behind the emperor were the pen-writing eunuch, Eunuch Liu, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
When the emperor and the empress arrived at the center of the hall, the civil and military officials were led by the chief minister Murong Wenzheng. He knelt on his knees, kowtowed to the emperor and the empress, and shouted: "See you, your Majesty, my emperor is long live, my queen is a thousand lives, a thousand lives, a thousand lives,"
At the same time, all the princes and princesses also knelt down on their knees under the leadership of the eldest prince, shouting: "My sons and ministers see the father, the emperor, and the queen. Long live the father, long live the emperor, and the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
At this time, the emperor said: "Get flat." Everyone shouted again to thank the emperor.
After everyone stood up, Old Eunuch Liu took out the imperial edict from his hand and looked at the eldest prince Chu Lin who was kneeling in the front: "The eldest prince accepts the edict."
Chu Lin was overjoyed after hearing this. He immediately knelt down and shouted: "My son, I have received the order."
Old Eunuch Liu opened the imperial edict and continued the harsh voice: "The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven. The edict says: The eldest prince Chu Lin has a kind heart, a humble and filial man. He loves brothers. He is the first heir of the clan and belongs to God's will. I hereby strictly abide by the initial edict. After the ceremony, I obey the public opinion, and I sincerely inform the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the state, and confer treasures in the book, and establish him as the crown prince. He will be enthroned in the East Palace to maintain the lineage for thousands of years and to spread the heart of the four seas. I admire this."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Although Chu Lin knew that he would become the prince today, he was still excited.
A young eunuch next to Mr. Liu took the imperial edict from his hand, trotted down the steps, and handed the imperial edict into the hands of the eldest prince, no, the prince.
During this process, the third prince kept staring fiercely at the imperial edict in the hands of the eldest prince, with a look of unwillingness on his face, and his eyes were full of jealousy, while Chu Si looked as usual from the beginning to the end.
After seeing all this, Chu Yuanqi turned around and entered the main hall. As the queen, Zhou Ning naturally followed closely behind. Civil and military officials, princes and princesses entered the hall one after another, and the banquet officially began.
In the main hall
The floors are paved with ancient blue marble. There are eight vermilion dragon pillars in the hall, and the emperor's seat is under the top plaque with the words "Honored Virtue".
After they were all seated, the meal began. All kinds of exquisite meals were served one by one by the palace maids.
After the emperor had finished his meal, everyone present began to use their chopsticks. At the same time, some singers came up to perform singing and dancing.
Tasting the delicious food and enjoying the singing and dancing, the atmosphere in the hall was joyful. But although everything here seems calm. But under the invisible sea, there are already dark waves and murderous intent.
