C428 Calamity Star It Doesn't Exist
Yu Longchen stood outside and looked at the happy people in the room.
"The Emperor is not going in?" Changxu stood beside him. In Changxu's view, Yu Longchen's reaction was too calm.
"No." Yu Longchen turned around and left.
Changxu stood for a while longer before chasing after her. He stood to Yu Longchen's left and said, "Emperor, is this princess Empress?"
Yu Longchen turned his head and gave Changxu a smile before leaving without saying a word.
Changxu was somewhat nonsensical and had already believed most of it in his heart.
"Bring more people to tomorrow's crowning ceremony." Yu Longchen gave another order.
"Yes." Changxu answered and left.
The next day, the ceremony of enfeoffment.
The imperial palace's enfeoffment ceremony did not require the ministers to observe. The people from the Ministry of Rites only needed to prepare the relevant etiquette.
The conferring ceremony was originally held by the Empress. It was only because Meng Qingdie was Yun Meng's princess that the Ministry of Rites held the ceremony. This already gave Yun Meng a lot of face.
The conferring ceremony was in the ear room of the Imperial Clan Shrine.
The Imperial Clan Shrine was naturally not an ordinary decoration. The interior was made up of vermillion and golden colors, giving off a sense of majesty.
The entrance of the Ancestral Shrine was a hundred meters away from the main hall.
Every ten meters, there was a sandalwood pillar with white veined lanterns on it.
In the middle of the road was a round stone platform. On the stone platform, there was a square lamb horn cauldron. The candle in the cauldron was as thick as an arm.
Meng Qingdie, accompanied by a maid, wore a auspicious dress and sat in a palanquin before coming down from the door.
Looking at the vast Ancestral Shrine, before even entering, one would feel a solemn aura that made people not dare to mess around in the Ancestral Shrine.
She sighed. As long as she went in, she would be the concubine of Dayong. It would be impossible for her to return to Yun Meng in this lifetime and she would not be able to see her grandfather.
"Princess, it's time to go in." The maid looked at the time and reminded Meng Qingdie.
Meng Qingdie pulled her skirt and stepped forward step by step.
Meng Qingdie originally wanted to go in and bow before leaving. She never thought that Yu Longchen would wait for her inside.
When she saw Yu Longchen, she was completely stunned.
Yu Longchen raised his hand to her and the corner of his mouth curled into a beautiful angle. "Beloved consort, are you still not coming down? Zhen has been waiting for a long time."
"En." Meng Qingdie finally reacted and her heart felt warm.
Yu Longchen pulled Meng Qingdie and walked step by step towards the ear room.
The crowning ceremony was actually very simple. They just needed to go in and offer incense and kowtow. The name would be written into the family tree of the royal family.
Yu Longchen would accompany her in every ceremony.
Kneel, offer incense... even her name was written in Yu Longchen's own hands.
Meng Qingdie was thinking of something and was always in a daze.
Just as the ceremony was over, the two of them were about to leave the room.
The moment they went out, Meng Qingdie's clothes turned white under the sun.
The palace maid and eunuch standing at the side widened their eyes.
One of the eunuchs ran out and shouted as he ran, "Consort Qing is unlucky! The clothes on her body turned white. This is the warning of the royal family's ancestors! She is a disaster! "
The eunuch had just run to the door and stepped down the stairs when he was killed by Changxu on the spot with his sword in hand.
"Ah!!"
The people outside were so scared that they collapsed to the ground. They covered their mouths, not daring to speak. They were afraid that they would be the one to die if they made a sound.
Meng Qingdie was somewhat flustered. She pulled the clothes on her body and looked up at Yu Longchen, "Emperor, I... I don't know."
Yu Longchen gently caressed her face and smiled comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, I am here."
Meng Qingdie turned her head to look at Yu Longchen and suddenly said, "This dress belongs to Dayong. If there is a problem, of course I have to ask the people of Dayong. It has nothing to do with me. I am not a disaster."
Yu Longchen was stunned. It was different from what he thought. Shouldn't she be touched and then pounce on him?
"Emperor, this dress, let me take it off? Then the concubines will withdraw. If there is any news regarding this matter, I will trouble the Emperor to inform." Meng Qingdie withdrew and took off her white outer muslin light clothing and quickly ran out.
Yu Longchen looked at Meng Qingdie who disappeared at the door and withdrew his hand. He helplessly shook his head and smiled as he walked out with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that someone was processing Eunuch's corpse, he looked at Changxu and praised, "Well done."
"Thank you for the Emperor's praise." Changxu lowered his head to reply and then asked, "How should we deal with this matter?"
"First, let me warn everyone present. If this matter is spread out, all of them will be executed." Yu Longchen glanced at the people present. All of them knelt down.
"Yes."
"Go to the Shang Palace Bureau and investigate who made and whose hands made these clothes. Investigate for Zhen." Yu Longchen threw down the clothes he was holding in his hand.
Changxu picked up the clothes and left with the Praetorian Guard.
Yu Longchen looked at the carriage getting further and further away and felt happier in his heart. There was no reason to refuse now, right?
Changxu went to the Shang Palace Bureau.
The palace maid beside Wang Zhaoyi hurriedly ran back.
"Why hasn't the matter come out yet after such a long time?" This was the first sentence that came out of Wang Zhaoyi's mouth.
"Your Ladyship, something has happened." The palace maid did not even have time to catch her breath as she hurriedly shook her head.
"What happened? " Wang Zhaoyi's eyelids twitched intensely.
"When we were in the ancestral hall, this matter did not come out. I heard that the commander killed a father-in-law and Consort Qing returned to the hall safely." The palace maid finally managed to calm her emotions but her words were still a little frustrated. "Then, the Bureau Chief took the clothes and went to the Shang Palace Bureau. This servant also just received the news that Lingyue and the Bureau Chief came to our hall together."
"What? !" When Wang Zhaoyi heard about the Shang Palace Bureau, he became more and more afraid. Now, Lingyue, Changxu, was here too!
"Your Ladyship, we have not done anything. We cannot panic." The palace maid was still relatively calm as she looked at Huan Zhaoyi and said firmly.
"That's right, this palace is Zhaoyi. The lackeys and Commander of Praetorian Guard by the Empress's side are also unable to do anything to Bengong." Only then did Wang Zhaoyi heave a sigh of relief. Before he could completely relax, he heard the sound of footsteps at the door.
"Then this emperor can at least blame you, right?"
This voice came from outside the door. Just as Wang Zhaoyi was about to fall on the chair, his butt directly sat on the ground.
"Your Ladyship, Your Ladyship!" The palace maid pulled on Wang Zhaoyi.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open.
Yu Longchen lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Zhaoyi. His eyes were full of scrutiny.
Lingyue and Changxu escorted a few older palace maids into the room.
Lingyue threw the clothes in her hands in front of him.
Yu Longchen walked around to sit beside the table and did not look at her. "The witnesses and evidence are here. What else do you have to say?"
"Emperor!" Tears streamed down her face. She knelt on the ground and looked up at Yu Longchen. She had a charming look on her face. "It was not done by a concubine. Someone must have framed her!"
"You seem to have forgotten that Zhen did not come to hear you complain. He came to convict you." Yu Longchen had a teasing look on his face. There was not the slightest bit of tenderness for the fairer sex on his face.
