There was silence in the hall.
When everyone saw this, they all lowered their heads and became uneasy.
Nangong Ke quickly reminded in a low voice: "Empress Dowager..."
The Queen Mother seemed to have come to her senses at this time. There was still no joy on her face. She said in a cold tone: "Get up. In fact, you can just worship the heaven and earth. There is no need to worship an old woman like me."
Nangong Ke's face changed, and he said quickly: "Feiyang, Your Majesty, quickly serve tea to the Queen Mother."
Luo Qingzhou took the tea from the tray brought by the palace maid, lowered his head and handed it to the Queen Mother, saying respectfully: "Mother, please have some tea."
When the Queen Mother heard the name, she looked at him coldly and did not reach out to take it.
At this time, Nangong Huoyue, who was kneeling beside him, slowly raised his head.
Although she was wearing a red veil and her face could not be seen, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn and tense.
Chang Sun Wan'er, who was standing nearby, quickly whispered, "Queen Mother, today is the day of His Majesty's wedding, and there are so many guests outside watching..."
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment before she reached out her hand, took the tea and took a sip.
Changsun Wan'er quickly took it and put it aside.
"Your Majesty, tea is served."
Nangong Ke reminded in a low voice.
The palace maid held the tea, lowered her head, and handed it to Nangong Huoyue respectfully.
Nangong Huoyue paused for a moment, then raised her hand to pick up the tea, lowered her head slightly, handed it over, and said in a cold tone: "Mother, have some tea."
The Queen Mother gave her a cold look, then she reached out to take the tea, lowered her head and took a sip. After a moment of silence, she said, "You are now the emperor, you have everything, and your mother has nothing to give you. If your brother were here, he might be able to reward you with something, at least, let Feiyang hold an official position."
Nangong Huoyue stood up and said calmly, "He doesn't need it."
The Queen Mother looked up at her, her lips trembling a few times, and said, "Huoyue, tell me, did you see your brother for the last time that day?"
Nangong Huoyue said coldly: "No."
The Queen Mother stared at her for a moment, then suddenly revealed a trace of self-mockery on her face. She sighed and said, "Your Majesty is indeed old and ignorant. If you had seen your brother that day, you would not have let the thieves kill him. No matter what, you are siblings. Your brother has been telling your Majesty that he will give you many gifts when you get married, and he will confer an official title on your husband in front of the whole world..."
"Queen, it's getting late."
Nangong Ke, who was standing by, interrupted her respectfully and said with a smile, "You can talk to the couple about these things later. The guests outside are waiting."
The Queen Mother looked at him for a moment, then looked outside.
Outside, the sun had set and night was falling quietly.
The Queen Mother smiled sadly and said, "Yes, it's getting late, it's already dark, I won't bother anyone here anymore."
After that, he stood up and said, "Wan'er, let's go back to the palace."
Nangong Ke hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, there is a wedding banquet..."
"I am not feeling well, please join us."
The Queen Mother said this calmly and walked quickly to the back.
Changsun Wan'er hurriedly followed behind.
The hall fell silent again.
Nangong Ke hurriedly shouted: "Bride and groom, send them to the bridal chamber!"
The joyous music sounded again.
Luo Qingzhou supported Nangong Huoyue and walked along the red carpet beside them from the inner room to the back, then passed through the side door and walked towards Yaohua Palace.
Petals are flying all the way.
The palace maids walked in front, carrying flower baskets and lanterns.
Two rows of female guards with swords, all dressed in red, followed behind.
On both sides of the road stood silver-armored guards with grim faces.
The two of them walked slowly on the red carpet, not speaking a word along the way, and seemed to be thinking about their own thoughts.
When they arrived at Yaohua Palace, the palace maids and guards stopped at the door.
Only Moon Dancer and Moon Shadow followed behind.
Nangong Huoyue stopped in the corridor, raised her hand and took off the red veil on her head, and said coldly: "I still have to attend the dinner, you go back to your room and wait."
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Yes."
Nangong Huoyue turned her head and looked at him. She was silent for a while and said, "I will put it on again when I return to my room. You can help me take it off and drink the wedding wine with me."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "I obey your command."
Nangong Huoyue stared at him for a while, said nothing, and turned away.
After walking a distance, she stopped again, turned her back to him, and said coldly: "There are no guards in Yaohua Palace tonight, and no restrictions are opened underground. If you don't want to spend the wedding night with me, you can leave at any time."
After saying that, she quickly left, dragging her red skirt.
Luo Qingzhou stood in the corridor, watching her tall and majestic red figure gradually walk away with a complicated expression. Only after she disappeared outside the door did he retract his gaze and look around.
There was silence all around, no sound or presence of any kind, and indeed there was no one around.
"Squeak..."
The door outside slowly closed.
Luo Qingzhou stood in the corridor for a while before turning around and entering the bridal chamber.
The bridal chamber had already been decorated.
Red carpets, red curtains, red sheets and quilts, screens, mirrors, doors and windows were all covered with big "囍" characters.
A few thick red candles were burning quietly on the candlesticks.
The fireplace continuously emits heat, warming the entire room.
There were a few flower petals on the ground, incense was burning in the incense burner, and the whole room was filled with an enchanting fragrance.
On the table, there was a golden wine jug.
Next to the wine jug, there were two golden wine glasses with the word "happiness" engraved on them.
Luo Qingzhou walked to the window and pushed it open.
A scent of flowers wafts into the air.
There is a garden of precious flowers outside, and even in the cold winter, there are many flowers in bloom.
In the night sky, a silver moon hid in the clouds, with only half of its face exposed, shyly peeking at the world.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, took out the communication certificate, and when he was about to send the message, he stopped again.
He stared at the message in his hand for a moment, then put it away.
"Squeak..."
He closed the window and looked back at the warmly decorated new house.
At this moment, the communication token on his body suddenly vibrated.
He hesitated for a moment, but still took it out.
It was sent by the princess: Luo Qingzhou, your mother-in-law is very anxious and keeps asking me. Your queen is here too, when will you come
Luo Qingzhou quickly replied: Immediately
After saying this, he immediately put away the message, took out the jade rat, and in a flash, he sank into the ground.
The underground forbidden formation has indeed been closed.
He moved quickly toward the outside of the imperial city.
When we got closer to the city wall, we suddenly saw many more formations.
But he ignored it and passed through easily.
Soon, he arrived at the alley outside the city. He changed into a Confucian robe, took off the mask on his face, dressed up again, and then came out from underground.
When he landed on the ground, he immediately restrained his warrior aura, and his temperament instantly became weak.
He walked out of the alley, crossed the arch bridge over the moat, and headed towards the gate of the imperial city.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure at the city gate.
She was dressed in green, with a slim figure and a jade flute inserted around her slender waist. At this moment, she was responding to the words of the city gate guard with a cold expression.
Luo Qingzhou hurried over.
The guards immediately all looked at him.
Without waiting for the other guards to ask, the young guard immediately said with a smile on his face, "Is this Master Luo? Please come in. The princess and the prince have already told you that if you come, you should go to the Weiyang Palace for the banquet."
Linghu Qingzhu turned around and looked at him.
Luo Qingzhou bowed to the guard and said, "General, this woman seems to be from the Lingxiao Sect. Can we let her in?"
The guard said with some difficulty: "We checked and they are indeed from the Lingxiao Sect, but this girl is not on the list, so..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's okay. If your majesty blames me, I will take the responsibility."
When the guard heard him say this, he hurriedly said, "Since Master Luo said so, we naturally dare not stop you. Miss, please come in."
Luo Qingzhou said politely: "Thank you, General."
Then, he took Linghu Qingzhu into the city gate.
A guard's low voice came from behind: "Is that young master Luo? It is said that he is very favored by His Majesty."
The guard also whispered: "More than a favor, even though he is young, His Majesty respectfully calls him Sir."
Luo Qingzhou led Linghu Qingzhu forward and successfully passed through the gate of the inner city. When they came to an empty road, he turned his head and looked at her and said, "Uncle Master, why are you here again? The Sect Master and the Great Elder left long ago to avoid embarrassment and gossip from other sects."
Linghu Qingzhu said coldly: "Is it not okay for me to come and see you get married?"
Luo Qingzhou's face froze for a moment, and he whispered, "Keep your voice down, it's Chu Feiyang who's getting married, not me."
Linghu Qingzhu rolled his eyes at him.
Luo Qingzhou said: "We have finished worshipping heaven and earth, and now we have to go to Weiyang Palace to attend the dinner. It will be very awkward if Master Uncle goes. After all, you are the peak master of Lingxiao Sect, and our sect cannot just stand in line. If you go, should you call him His Majesty, or should you continue to call him the Princess?"
Linghu Qingzhu said expressionlessly: "I will just sit down and drink, looking at you, without saying anything."
Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment and said, "Uncle Master, why bother? I'm already under pressure..."
Linghu Qingzhu looked at him and said, "Do you feel any pressure in the wedding night tonight?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately changed the subject and asked, "Uncle Master, did you sleep for a whole day? Did you wake up at night?"
Linghu Qingzhu's face suddenly froze, he turned his head away, looked away, and said coldly: "I am practicing in the cave."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Oh."
Linghu Qingzhu turned around again, looked at him coldly and said, "You should tell her tonight and see if she will pay attention to you."
Luo Qingzhou asked with concern: "Has Master Uncle recovered?"
Linghu Qingzhu ignored him and walked forward quickly.
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly followed and said, "Then Uncle Master, please leave after you finish your drink. You can just escort my family back."
Linghu Qingzhu suddenly stopped, two cold sword shadows flashing in his eyes, and said, "You go to the bridal chamber and have fun with other women, and let me send your family back?"
Luo Qingzhou took a step back and said nothing more.
Linghu Qingzhu stared at him coldly for a while, the sword shadow in his eyes slowly disappeared, and he said: "Don't worry, I came here today just to take a look."
"I am not qualified to do anything."
After saying that, she continued to walk forward.
Luo Qingzhou followed behind without saying anything else.
The two soon arrived at the Weiyang Palace.
The palace was brightly lit, with singing and dancing, and it was extremely lively.
The gatekeeper immediately notified the eunuch at the door, and the eunuch hurried inside to report.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Luo is here, and he has brought a woman with him."
The Great Yan Queen, who was sitting on the high platform with a dignified face, suddenly narrowed her eyes and said, "Let them in."
Song Ruyue, who was sitting in her seat feeling very uncomfortable, finally breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily, "This kid, I thought he wouldn't come tonight. Come in later, I will definitely teach him a lesson."
Then he asked in confusion: "He also brought a woman with him, who could it be?"
"Mr. Luo is here!"
At this moment, the eunuch's sharp voice sounded in the corridor outside.
Everyone's eyes turned to the door.
Not long after, a young man wearing a Confucian robe, with a tall stature and handsome face, walked in from the door in a graceful and elegant manner.
"What a handsome young man!"
"This young man is handsome, elegant, calm, and has an extraordinary temperament!"
All the ministers and royal family members secretly admired it in their hearts.
Luo Qingzhou walked into the hall, bowed his head and saluted: "I am Luo Qingzhou, a humble citizen, paying homage to Your Majesty! Congratulations on Your Majesty's wedding, and may Your Majesty live long and long! May Great Yan prosper, and the people live in peace and health, and may life last forever!"
Nangong Huoyue stared at him coldly, with a sneer on her lips, and said, "Sir, you came too late and didn't see me get married in person. Tonight, you must drink a few more glasses and don't leave until you are drunk."
Prince Duan, who was standing by, said with a big smile on his face: "Yes, I won't leave until I'm drunk! Mr. Luo, come, come, sit down, and toast His Majesty first."
Luo Qingzhou bowed to him and walked towards the Qin family.
At this time, Nangong Huoyue suddenly said in a cold voice: "Sir, didn't you bring a woman in? Where is she? Is she your family? You can let her come in and have a drink."
Luo Qingzhou bowed and said, "I just happened to meet her at the gate of the imperial city. She is from the Lingxiao Sect and wanted to come in to drink a glass of wedding wine, so I boldly brought her in. She has already sat outside, Your Majesty, don't worry about her."
Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes and said, "Let her in. Since she is a distinguished guest of Lingxiao Sect, I naturally want to meet her and offer her a glass of wine. After all, my husband is also a member of Lingxiao Sect."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head, thinking about what to say, when Linghu Qingzhu walked in, bowed his head and said, "Linghu Qingzhu from the Sword Peak of Lingxiao Sect, greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
As soon as this name was uttered, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.
The faces of the Qin family members sitting nearby also changed slightly.
Miss Qin's gaze fell on the jade flute around her slender waist, then on her feet under her skirt, and finally, stopped on her towering chest.
Nangong Meijiao, who was standing by, also narrowed her eyes and looked her up and down.
At this time, Nangong Xiaoxin, who was sitting next to her, suddenly whispered: "Sister Meijiao, this sister's breasts are so big, they seem to be about the same size as yours..."
Nangong Meijiao remained silent.
