Although Mo Rongyi's incident was infuriating, because he was not here, Ye Zhen could not scold him even if she wanted to. So, she had to suppress it for the time being. After the ceremony, she would return to Jin Kingdom to settle accounts with him.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the ceremony.
Shui Yichen stood on the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a two-foot-wide imperial edict in his hand. All the civil and military officials stood on both sides of the square. He held the imperial edict in both hands and walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. In the Dragon Pavilion outside the Meridian Gate, drums and ceremonial guards sounded. The civil and military officials then escorted him. Liu Zhanhu knelt down and kowtowed three times before he took the imperial edict from the yellow table on the platform. Standing on the platform facing the west, he began to read the edict.
The civil and military officials knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to thank the emperor for his kindness.
After reading the imperial edict, Liu Zhanhu placed it in a wooden plate shaped like a phoenix and placed it in the mouth of the wooden phoenix in the middle of the city tower. At this time, Ye Zhen, who had long been ready to ascend the throne, was ready to step onto the majestic and sacred Dragon Throne. In order to show the difference, the Dragon Throne of Yuan Kingdom was rebuilt with the image of a phoenix.
The chair was carved according to the image of a fire phoenix.
"Greetings, Heavenly Consort."
The voice of the singing spread and resounded through the sky.
Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongzhan standing in front of her. She was a little nervous and excited.
Once, she was full of hope that one day she could stand side by side with Mo Rongzhan, not just standing behind him and being protected by him. She did not want to be a golden bird, nor did she want to rely on him like a dodder to survive. Now that her wish had been fulfilled, she still could not truly feel at ease.
She was a little confused.
Mo Rongzhan looked at her with burning affection, as if he knew what she was thinking. His handsome and clear face showed a smile, as if he was comforting her.
When Ye Zhen saw his handsome and moving smile, the uneasiness in her heart was miraculously soothed.
Step by step, she walked forward.
Today, Ye Zhen was wearing a sky-blue robe embroidered with lifelike phoenixes. The hem of her skirt resembled the waves of the sea, making her look both dignified and elegant. This brocade robe was drawn by her own hands. It was the elite soldiers from the sea who helped her obtain the Yuan Kingdom. She would never forget her roots. It has to be said that when many people saw the brocade robe on Ye Zhen's body, they felt warm and touched.
Mo Rongzhan looked at Ye Zhen, who was surrounded on the throne, and felt a subtle sense of loss. In the future, it would be more and more difficult for him to monopolize her time.
"Long live the Heavenly Consort! Long live the Heavenly Consort!" The officials cheered in unison.
Thus, the Yuan Kingdom was established, and Ye Zhen becoming the Heavenly Concubine was an irreversible fact.
Ye Rou finally had time to catch her breath at the Founding Ceremony dinner that night.
The change of dynasty in Dongqing was a matter of great concern to the world. Originally, everyone thought that Ye Zhen would merge Dongqing with the Jin Kingdom. Who knew that she would actually create another country? From then on, there would be a Yuan Kingdom that no one dared to underestimate.
However, even if the Jin Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom were not merged, Ye Zhen, as the Heavenly Consort, was the Empress of the Jin Kingdom. The two countries were fundamentally one. As the most powerful country in the world, the Qi Kingdom should feel the most threatened. They all thought that Zhao Yong would not appear in the Yuan Kingdom. After all, everyone knew that Zhao Yong had deceived the Princess of the Qi Kingdom.
Therefore, when they saw Zhao Yong sitting on the upper right side of the hall, the envoys of other countries were very surprised.
"The King of the Western Liang has arrived."
"The Emperor of the Northern Dark Kingdom has arrived …"
The announcer outside sang one after another. All the distinguished guests who came to participate in the Founding Ceremony had arrived.
When he heard the arrival of Beitang Yu, Zhao Yong cast a cold gaze over and saw a thin and tall figure slowly walking in.
The hall, which was originally filled with laughter, became silent for a moment when they saw Beitang Yu.
No one had forgotten the war two years ago. If Beitang Yu had not started the war, the world would still be at peace. Western Liang would not have lost more than half of its territory, and the Founding Ceremony of the Yuan Kingdom would not have happened today. Therefore, no one present liked Beitang Yu.
Beitang Yu did not seem to notice the gazes on him. Under the guidance of the palace servant, he sat down. According to the arrangement of status, he sat below Zhao Yong.
He and Zhao Yong had an old grudge, but Beitang Yu did not show it on his face. He even smiled when he saw Zhao Yong.
"I didn't expect the Northern Dark Kingdom to dare to come to the Yuan Kingdom." After Wanyan Xi sat down, he could not help but look at Beitang Yu with resentment.
If Beitang Yu had not sent Wan Ziliang to occupy Western Liang, his Western Liang would not have been reduced to the capital. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. If he did not want to form an alliance with Lu Yaoyao, he would not have the face to sit here.
"Who are you?" Beitang Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Wanyan Xi, asking arrogantly.
Wanyan Xi was wearing the unique leather clothing of Western Liang. Anyone with discerning eyes could immediately recognize that he was the Prince of Western Liang. Beitang Yu's high and mighty attitude was obviously despising him. He simply looked down on the Prince of Western Liang.
"It doesn't matter who I am. It's enough that everyone knows who you are." Wanyan Xi suppressed the anger in his heart. He had already lost more than half of his territory, and he could not lose face here. Even if Beitang Yu looked down on him, he could not be angry and be laughed at.
Beitang Yu smiled faintly. "So what if you know me?"
Zhao Yong glanced at him and said, "Good. Stay away from me, lest you get infected."
"I still don't know who is the one who is infected." In front of Zhao Yong, Beitang Yu no longer had a relaxed demeanor. His gentle eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness and resentment.
"Why are you here instead of cleaning up the mess in the Northern Darkstar Kingdom?" Zhao Yong asked with a smile, as if he did not notice Beitang Yu's displeasure.
He used to sleep with Beitang Yu's woman, but he did not know the relationship between the woman and Beitang Yu at that time. Who knew that Beitang Yu regarded him as an enemy who killed his father. If the Northern Darkstar Kingdom was not strong enough to attack the Kingdom of Qi, Beitang Yu would have killed his way to the capital.
Beitang Yu smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. "This used to be my vassal country. Now that the Heavenly Princess has changed, it's unreasonable for me not to come."
When he spoke, he didn't have the slightest arrogant attitude. His tone was refined, just like a humble scholar. However, the words that came out of his mouth didn't sound pleasant to the ears.
Did he think this was still Dongqing?
Zhao Yong glanced at him with a smile. It seemed that Beitang Yu had not seen Lu Yaoyao and did not know what kind of person she was.
"It's good to come. Maybe the Northern Darkstar Kingdom will become a vassal country of Yuan in the future." Tang Zhen, who had been sitting in the back seat, said.
