Birthday and Imperial Concubine Conferring Ceremony.
Inside and outside the palace, many ministers were working themselves to death. Finally, it was the day of the emperor's birthday.
Shi Sheng was forced to wear the grandest dragon robe. There were three layers inside and three layers outside. That heavy feeling made Shi Sheng feel as if he was carrying several dolls on his back. It was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
She really didn't know how those emperors could wear so much and still move like the wind.
Fortunately, this thing was not the daily dragon robe. It was only worn during ceremonies, birthdays, and other such large-scale events to make it look grand.
"Your Majesty, there will be envoys from other countries coming today. Please don't speak carelessly." Lingyi worriedly warned Shi Sheng. Now, with her Majesty's mouth, offending him was just a matter of one or two sentences.
"Then zhen will do …" Shi Sheng struggled to lift the robe and spat out the last word. "… What? Be a mascot? "
"That's right. You are the mascot. If it's not the most important time, don't speak."
"Their words are unpleasant. Zhen can't even retort back??" Shi Sheng was not convinced.
"Your Majesty, although our Feng Luan's strength is not bad, there are still several representatives from powerful countries coming today. Offending them will not benefit Feng Luan. Can't you just bear with it?" Offending those people would be a disaster for Feng Luan. It would start a war. Before the internal strife was settled, foreign enemies would invade. At that time, Feng Luan would really be at the end of the road.
"Zhen can't bear it." When encountering those who spoke unpleasant words, one would feel uncomfortable if they didn't retort.
Lingyi took a deep breath and acted like she was coaxing a child. "Your Majesty, you are now representing Feng Luan. You are a person with status. Today, everyone is here to congratulate you on your birthday …"
"It's true that they are here to watch the show, but it's fake to congratulate you on your birthday."
In such an occasion, who didn't come with a purpose and to watch a good show? Those who really came to congratulate him could be counted with one's fingers.
"…" There was no way to continue this conversation.
Lingyi spoke for half a day, but Shi Sheng did not even listen to half a word. From the moment Shi Sheng stepped into the main hall where he received the various envoys, Lingyi's entire heart was raised. He only hoped that everything would go smoothly today and that there would not be any side issues.
Shi Sheng sat coldly on the dragon throne that represented his status. To his left were the ministers, and to his right were the envoys from other countries. The envoys sitting at the front were naturally the representatives of the powerful countries. In order to arrange the seats for these envoys, the ministers had spent a lot of effort.
If they didn't line up properly, they would offend someone.
There was nothing wrong with the people who congratulated them one by one. Everyone behaved normally, and their gifts were also normal. They didn't give the Shi Sheng a chance to criticize them.
However, after the gift-giving segment ended, some people couldn't sit still and started to court death.
An envoy sitting in the third seat of the group of envoys suddenly said, "I heard that Her Majesty brought a beauty back to the palace from the street a few days ago. I wonder what kind of beauty caught Her Majesty's eye. Do we have the fortune to see this beauty with our own eyes?"
Although he said that he was carrying her, in fact, he was implying that the Shi Sheng had snatched her away.
The hall suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at the Shi Sheng who was sitting at the front.
The Shi Sheng tilted his head and looked at the envoy. His lips curved slightly. "You know about this too. You have planted many spies in my palace, right? Why don't I help you dig her out? "
At that time, the Imperial Guards had surrounded the area. Only the Imperial Guards, the people in the palace, and the ministers from the three parties knew about this. No one else could have known.
Everyone: "…"
This answer was a little shocking.
In this society, who didn't want to plant spies around other people? But why did you say it in front of so many people?
As expected, the envoy's expression turned ugly. He couldn't hide the anger in his eyes. "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean by asking me that question?" The Shi Sheng fearlessly met the envoy's gaze. I'm scared of you, you idiot!
I don't care who I bring back to the palace. Did I occupy your palace or spend your money, cat cake?
Who asked you to blabber blindly, and in front of so many people!!
The envoy's mouth twitched. After taking a deep breath, he said, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to see what kind of man Her Majesty has taken a fancy to."
"Don't worry, the person I like will definitely not be as ugly as you."
The envoy: "…"
Everyone: "…"
The scene fell into an awkward situation, and the atmosphere was very heavy.
Lingyi wiped away his cold sweat. He wanted to remind the Shi Sheng to calm down and not argue with this envoy. If you want to reject him, just reject him. Why do you have to argue with him like this? It will cause public outrage.
The crowd was very confused. They didn't understand what was going on. How did it get to the point where swords were drawn? The plot was developing a little too quickly!
"Ahem, this is Her Majesty's private matter. Marquis An, you don't have to interfere. Hahaha." Someone tried to smooth things over.
Marquis An snorted coldly and looked away.
"I heard that Her Majesty will confer a royal concubine today. I wonder when the conferring ceremony will begin? Let me see which handsome young master Her Majesty's royal concubine is. "Marquis An had settled down, but there were other people who didn't.
"To be conferred the title of royal concubine by Her Majesty, he must be a wonderful person."
"Hahaha, I just don't know if he can make Her Majesty happy. If …"
These men had always looked down on the men of Feng Luan who respected women. If it wasn't for Her Majesty Shi Sheng's identity, these people would probably speak even more harshly.
Shi Sheng looked at those envoys coldly. "Give me …"
"Your Majesty, it's almost time for the auspicious hour." Lingyi quickly went forward to interrupt Shi Sheng. If she spoke, she would definitely say something domineering like 'drag me out and behead me'. "Today is your wedding with Young Master Chen Bei. It's not good to see blood."
Shi Sheng snorted. It's not good to see blood today, right? Tomorrow is fine, right?!
"Everyone, please move to Xuanhe Hall." Seeing that Shi Sheng didn't object, Lingyi hurriedly had the people below move the venue.
The rules for conferring the title of royal concubine were much more troublesome than her birthday. Shi Sheng first had to change into wedding clothes, then welcome Chen Bei into Xuanhe Hall. After that, he would confer the title and confer the seal in Xuanhe Hall.
After conferring the seal, it meant that he was the royal concubine of Feng Luan and was in charge of the harem.
Shi Sheng had worn many wedding clothes, but this was definitely the thickest set of clothes that Shi Sheng had ever worn. It was even more terrifying than the one just now.
She clearly only saw the outermost one, so why did he have to wear so many layers inside?
When she saw Chen Bei appear outside Xuanhe Hall surrounded by people, she suddenly understood why there were so many layers of clothes.
The pattern on each piece of clothing was not complete, but when all the clothes were worn, it would form a complete pattern. That luxurious and exquisite pattern made the youth even more exquisite and handsome.
Chen Bei's expression was indifferent as he stood outside Xuanhe Hall with the crowd.
He watched as the people inside Xuanhe Hall walked towards him step by step. With every step, there seemed to be flames blooming under her feet and extending in front of him. The entire world became fiery red and dazzling.
A strange scene suddenly flashed in front of Chen Bei's eyes. It was so fast that he almost couldn't catch it.
A feeling of deja vu swarmed over him, but he couldn't remember why he felt that it was familiar.
