Liu Feiyan said puzzled, "Didn't you mean the queen?"
Elder Wang smiled wryly and said: "Your father and daughter beat him hard. He got angry and refused to make you a concubine. I said it anyway, so he let go and made you a concubine. Let's do this first, with the backing of the sect, It's only a matter of time. You should coax him more, follow him, and don't make him angry again. "
Liu Feiyan was so angry that it seemed to be all my fault. However, she is no longer naive and knows that it is useless to fight. She nodded wryly.
Her life has been ruined, and she doesn't want to make her father and family suffer because of herself.
As long as her family can live safely, she would rather sacrifice herself.
As long as her family lives well, she is willing to suffer all kinds of hardships.
Elder Wang said gratifiedly: "Feiyan is really good. Tomorrow is the canonization ceremony. You have a good rest, I will call someone to serve you."
Only then did he let Feiyan's two followers come in.
The two attendants didn't know what happened. Seeing Liu Feiyan, they said unhappily, "Miss, why are you still here? Aren't we going back to the mountain today?"
Liu Feiyan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't go back."
The two attendants asked puzzledly.
Liu Feiyan didn't hide from them, and said with a wry smile: "I'm going to enter the palace as a concubine."
The two followers were dumbfounded.
Looking at the young lady's appearance, they knew that she was unwilling, and they were afraid that she was forced.
Even if the young ladies are powerless to resist, they can't do anything about it.
They cried sadly for the young lady, Liu Feiyan annoyed them and stopped them.
After falling asleep, Liu Feiyan faced the wall alone, but couldn't stop crying. But she didn't dare to cry out.
She could feel that someone was watching her all night. Afraid that she would run away, that she would harm herself, that she would commit suicide.
Seeing that Liu Feiyan had fallen asleep and Elder Wang was urging people to hold the concubine ceremony overnight, Yu Qingyao was sure that the matter was a foregone conclusion.
She also washed up and went to bed, ready to recharge her energy, so that she can continue to watch the fun tomorrow.
The next day, the canonization ceremony was officially held.
Wearing a dragon robe, Li Huaide stood on the high platform and awarded the gold book to Liu Feiyan who was dressed up.
Under the stage stood civil and military officials and Taoist priests from various sects who came to watch the ceremony.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, except for the newlyweds who were not at all festive.
The emperor was wearing a red dragon robe, looking handsome and majestic like a dragon among men.
Liu Feiyan carried a phoenix crown and was dressed in a silver-red phoenix robe, as beautiful as a concubine or fairy. There is a sense of immortality in the high temperament, and the well-dressed bride's attire also reveals a different kind of charm.
Look, what a couple.
Elder Wang did a lot of tricks during the canonization ceremony, like Liu Feiyan's title was temporarily changed to Concubine Xiangui. Because a minister pointed out to Elder Wang that since ancient times, there has been no title of Concubine Jian. Under the empress, the common titles of high-grade imperial concubines are virtuous and virtuous, tolerant and respectful.
Elder Wang listened to the opinions of the ministers as good as he could, and used the word virtuous.
When Li Huaide heard it, he rolled his eyes and didn't bother to argue with him.
He is a man of etiquette, and it would be too disrespectful to make a fuss in such a public place.
Elder Wang knew this about him, so he dared to do this.
When the canonization ceremony was completed, Elder Wang even tampered with it without any trace. Taking this opportunity, he also conferred four beauties. Li Huaide was so angry that he stared straight at him.
The four beauties are all the daughters of the minister's family, and they have gone through Elder Wang's door.
Elder Wang hurriedly reassured him: "Your Majesty, there are only four, and there are no more. There are hundreds of beautiful girls in one selection. It is really unreasonable for you not to choose one, and all officials will have opinions. If you don't like it, I will help you." Pay money to raise them. The palace is so big, throw it anywhere to raise it. If you think about it, go and play. If you don’t think about it, just let them fend for themselves in the palace.”
Li Huaide snorted coldly and didn't bother to talk to him.
He has no time to talk to Elder Wang now, and his mind is on Liu Feiyan.
After careful observation for a while, Li Huaide was sure that Liu Feiyan didn't want to enter the palace, but was forced to enter the palace.
After Liu Feiyan went through this ordeal, although she suddenly became sensible, her heart was miserable and unspeakable. She was always loved and was not good at hiding her emotions. In fact, many people can see the forced smile.
Many ministers knew in their hearts that this was the woman the emperor forced to come. They all laughed secretly, it turns out that the emperor can also play rogues, and this rogue played well. Marrying such a woman can get more support from Tianlong Temple. Now that the matter has come to this, can Elder Liu not help his son-in-law? Don't want your daughter to be a queen
Tianlong Temple was willing to send a talented female disciple like Liu Feiyan into the palace, and it sent a strong signal that Tianlong Temple recognized the emperor very much.
Other Taoist temples and princes no longer dare to underestimate the orders issued by the court, which is very good for the stability of Wu State.
As for Liu Feiyan's temporary reluctance, everyone didn't care.
As a woman, after the bridal chamber, you have to be willing if you don't want to. After getting married, you will turn your mind to your husband.
After the ceremony, Li Huaide held a royal banquet and invited all the ministers to drink.
Liu Feiyan was sent to Ganquan Palace, surrounded by a group of female officials and wives. They are all speaking good words for the emperor, congratulating her, persuading her to accept her fate, serve the emperor well, be a good concubine, and become a good queen in the future. After giving birth to a son, teach him well, and he will surely inherit the throne.
Sitting on the marriage bed, Liu Feiyan was ashamed and angry, but she had no choice but to sit there and listen.
At the time of canonization, she looked carefully at the audience, but she didn't see her father. She was a little sad, thinking that her father must be very sad, and she didn't want to see her enter the palace, so she didn't come. For a moment, I felt that my father didn't know that I was going to enter the palace. For a while, I felt that my father might be imprisoned by Guanzhong because of his own resistance.
When she saw Xu Guanzhu standing under the stage smiling, she felt a chill in her heart.
As night fell, the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, and the ladies dispersed. Two or three female officers were still chatting about each other.
The cry of the emperor's arrival came from far and near, and the footsteps got closer and closer, and they reached the gate of the palace.
All the maids and eunuchs in the palace knelt down to worship.
"Excuse me! Get up!" the emperor said.
Liu Feiyan heard it sincerely, her heart couldn't help beating wildly.
He is here, what should I do? Am I really going to let him do what he wants? But what if you don't follow? It doesn't matter if I die alone, I can't harm my father or my whole family.
Liu Feiyan gritted her teeth and sighed silently. She comforted herself as if she had been bitten by a dog.
The sound of the emperor's footsteps entered the room, Liu Feiyan, supported by the maid, knelt down like putting a candle in the hijab, and said in a trembling voice, "Welcome to the emperor!"
Li Huaide looked at Liu Feiyan, who was wearing a silver-red phoenix robe, waved his hands at the other court ladies and eunuchs, and said, "You are not needed here, you all go out!"
Everyone retreated silently and closed the door.
Li Huaide walked to Liu Feiyan's side, and knocked off the hijab and the phoenix crown on her head casually.
Liu Feiyan was completely unprepared, and screamed in pain.
