C107
Who didn't know of her name? In the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, no, in the entire world, she could be considered a "resounding" existence.
Foolish, ignorant, the royal marriage to the regent.
Everyone was shocked into silence when they heard this. The next thing that happened left everyone dumbstruck, and that was the Nine Sparrows' wedding.
With one piece after another, it was hard not to be famous.
Everyone's curiosity and conversation about her increased day by day. Many people wanted to personally see her, but who would've thought that after her marriage with the Regent, she never stepped out of the Regent's Manor. Furthermore, she had no interactions with the other noble wives.
And today, after passing the words of the Regent, everyone had discovered one more thing.
The faces of many of the women in the audience changed. They must be feeling even worse now that their expressions had changed.
Seated on the main seat, Xuanyuan Hong Xi gave a calm and dignified smile, but his gaze towards Xuanyuan Wentian darkened.
He knew that the moment Xuanyuan Po entered the hall, he had silently declared one thing to everyone, and that was his beloved wife.
He was telling everyone that he and Ulan were a loving couple, so that his imperial edict would become an evil executioner who would break up lovers and be denounced by the people of the world.
Xuanyuan Hong took a deep breath, but did not answer Xuanyuan Yun's words. Instead, he reached out his hand and indicated the closest spot to his left.
"The Regent should take his seat first."
Gao Yuan tactfully stepped forward to help Xuanyuan, pulling open the rosewood chair.
Xuanyuan Yun smiled indifferently, "Alright." He sat down.
The melodious sounds of silk and bamboo once again rang out as the dancers of various colors began to enter the stage one after another. For a moment, the air was filled with the fragrance of wine as their sleeves fluttered gracefully danced.
The ministers began to happily chat again. As a foil, they naturally had to abide by their responsibilities.
Gao Yuan helped Xuanyuan Yun out of his chair but did not leave. Instead, he stood beside Xuanyuan Yun, respectfully poured wine for him and set down all of his dishes.
After this series of actions, everyone not only raised their eyebrows.
As an eunuch, Gao Yuan wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but as an eunuch by the emperor's side, he was different.
What did it mean for him to become the Lord Regent's servant tonight?
This meant that the emperor had given the Regent enough face today, and that the current emperor was secretly warning Xuanyuan that he could not disobey his orders regarding what happened next.
They were all smart people, and could see through the situation without revealing any of it. Their smiles were all filled with calmness.
However, there was only one person amongst them who could not remain calm. That was the peace.
At this moment, an ashen face and tightly clenched fists could be seen. An aura that prevented strangers from approaching him emanated from all over his body.
When the jovial Yueze saw such peace, he frowned in displeasure, lowered his head, and shouted in a low voice.
"How did father say it to you in the manor? Who are you showing such an expression to now!"
"Also, do not do anything wrong when the imperial edict is passed down!"
"Father, this is unfair to Lanyi!"
Hearing that, Wei Ze's eyes widened. "What do you mean by 'fair is unfair'? The Emperor said that the greater picture is the most important. The Regent's marriage to Princess Nanxuan is a consideration for the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. As for Lanyi, since she doesn't have this kind of weight, she should naturally concede."
"This!" This is going too far! "
"Damn it!"
The last time he went to the Sleeping Dragon Pavilion, he had already gotten an important military report from the border. He didn't even say a word to 'Lanyi' before he got up and rushed to the border.
After settling the matter with great difficulty, he hurried back. However, as soon as he returned to the manor, he heard a secret message from Gao Yuan.
He said that he wanted the duke to go to the Residence of Regent to bring back Ulan tomorrow, and the reason was that the damnable situation was more important!
She could only feel a lump of anger in her throat. It was so bad that she could not even swallow it down. She was almost suffocating him to death.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Hongxi, who was sitting on the main seat, raised her glass for the first time.
"My dear ones."
The moment these three words were said, the sound of silk, bamboo, conversation and low voices all stopped. The entire hall instantly became quiet, until only Xuanyuan Hongxi's voice could be heard.
"I am very happy today. Even though East Han is a powerful country, its people still suffer from the war. Now that I have found a way to resolve it, I will say this today that I am willing to marry Nanxuan and we will take over the small countries that invade its borders together, and from now on, East Han will no longer have to worry about war!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials kneeled down and started shouting.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
The sound of people kneeling in the hall was deafening.
Looking at the kneeling figures of the crowd, Xuanyuan Hongxi let out a smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Regent."
Xuanyuan Yun raised his head calmly and stood up, but he secretly gave a cold laugh. Seems like it's about to begin.
"This humble subject is here."
"Accept the decree!"
With that, Gao Yuan, who was serving beside Xuanyuan Yun, quickly took out a bright yellow edict from his sleeves and released it.
But just as it was about to be read out, a woman's voice could be heard from the entrance of the hall.
"Your Highness."
At once, everyone turned to look at the door. Gao Yuan also stopped.
He saw an elegant and beautiful woman wearing a dignified and expensive princess attire walking down the thick carpet towards him.
The woman's face was bright white with a smile on it. She looked heroic and her coiled hair was adorned with gold and white jade. Under the illumination of the palace lamps, the crown of the concubine shone brilliantly.
Everyone was stunned as they watched.
Although the woman in front of him wasn't as devastatingly beautiful as Princess Nanxuan, her aura, her appearance, and even the way she walked made it hard for people to look at her. They always wanted to look at her again, then look at her again.
Who is she?
At this moment, someone suddenly whispered, "She is Weiwei, she is the Regent's Consort."
The whisper was like a bomb dropped in the crowd.
The crowd was stunned.
The Regent's Consort?
Lan Yi?
That fool?
How is this possible!?
How could such a beautiful girl with such an extraordinary charm be the rumored fool in people's mouths!?
At this time, Xiao Lan had already walked in front of Xuanyuan Wentian and gave him a gentle smile.
"Prince, chenqie is here."
At this moment, Xuanyuan Yun was actually just like the rest of the people, blankly staring at Xiao Lan, especially when Xiao Lan smiled at him.
When everyone saw this, they were even more certain that Xuanyuan Xue and "Wan-Yi" loved each other.
A person's reaction and gaze couldn't be faked. Didn't he see that the dignified Regent was completely bewitched by his wife?
At this moment, not far from the two of them, Duanmu Zimo was tightly clenching his fists. When Xiao Lan revealed a smile, a terrifying baleful aura surged from his body.
This killing intent immediately filled the large hall.
Everyone couldn't stop their bodies from trembling. They all raised their heads in shock and carefully looked at their surroundings.
What was going on?
