Chapter 235: Combined with wine, the ceremony is complete
Lu Yuan was someone who could not be trifled with in the past, but now that he has Grandpa Wang Miao, he is even more untouchable.
But he is just a small minister, he cannot offend the governor, nor can he offend the emperor!
"Grand Governor, this... I'm afraid it's against the rules."
For God's sake, it's not your wedding, so why are you so anxious?
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "If the Supreme Emperor is to blame, I will have my grandpa to shoulder the responsibility."
Minister of Rites: “…”
At this time, King Miao didn't know that his grandson had sold him. He suddenly felt a chill on his back and sneezed twice inexplicably.
"Xian'er must have missed me."
Xian'er, Lu Yuan's grandmother.
"After we finish dealing with matters in the capital, we'll go see Xian'er and take that brat with us. Xian'er won't beat him out."
Thinking of this, King Miao swaggered with his hands on his hips, full of energy, and looked more attractive than the groom.
He glanced at the heavily guarded official and said, "Tsk, why don't you come?"
During the wedding of the emperor and the empress, some officials went to the Duke's Mansion to welcome the bride, while others and the emperor's relatives waited outside the palace gate for the empress' honor guard.
The civil servants were in the east and the generals were in the west. King Miao was originally placed on the east side, but he didn't want to stand with Xun Xiangguo, so he went to the opposite side.
But what is puzzling is that the old man on his right is also very annoying.
He frowned and looked at the other person up and down.
The other party saw his Miao clothes and guessed his identity from his position, and greeted him politely: "King Miao."
King Miao wondered: "You are -"
The other party smiled and said: "Yao Guogong's Mansion, Yao Sheng."
King Miao's body trembled: "You are that man—"
Yao Sheng looked at King Miao strangely, wondering what happened to King Miao. Could it be that he was shocked by his identity?
His daughter was the Supreme Concubine, and his granddaughter became the Queen of the Middle Palace. It was no wonder that King Miao had such a big reaction.
King Miao put his hands on his hips and rolled his eyes to the sky: "Concubine!"
Liu Qingyun was impatient to wait here for someone else's daughter-in-law, so she carried Baoshu to Concubine Li's Changchun Palace early.
Concubine Li said angrily: "What are you doing here? I am very busy and have no time to entertain you!"
Liu Qingyun hugged Baoshu, who was asleep in the carriage, and sat down on the chair. She showed no mercy to her sister: "You are not the Supreme Queen, so you have to go and accept the homage and the Empress' gift!"
Concubine Li was stabbed in the foot, and the knife swished in the eye!
Liu Qingyun touched Baoshu's little cheek: "You don't want your eyeballs anymore?"
Concubine Li tightened her veil fiercely and timidly.
Meng Qianqian did not enter the palace. She took Yu Li and Tan'er to wait for the queen outside the palace gate.
Tan'er held a bunch of candied haws in one hand: "Sister, when will the queen arrive?"
Meng Qianqian frowned: "I forgot to ask."
Yu Li said softly: "The canonization ceremony will begin at Chenshi. It will take about two hours to complete the process and then drive from the Duke's Mansion to the palace. If nothing else, we should be able to arrive at dusk."
"That long?"
Tan'er is about to break, "My forehead is dripping and my belly is so hungry!"
Meng Qianqian curled her lips: "That's why I bought you candied haws."
Tan'er pursed her lips: "I want to eat meat... I want to eat Imperial Braised Pork..."
Meng Qianqian couldn't stop laughing.
Except for those who were welcoming the bride, the officials of the fifth rank and above were all waiting here at the palace. Lu Xingzhou and Lu Lingxiao also came.
However, their official positions are not high enough and they are far away from Meng Qianqian.
The two of them had actually seen Meng Qianqian early in the morning. Lu Xingzhou only glanced at her and looked away coldly, while Lu Lingxiao kept staring in Meng Qianqian's direction. He couldn't imagine that that dazzling woman was the businesswoman's wife that he once despised.
When she was at the Lu family, she always looked lifeless and very boring.
But now she has a beautiful smile, beautiful eyes, and a smile in her eyes. Her whole body exudes the brightness and vitality of a girl, just like a bud waiting to bloom.
Just when he was lost in thought, Meng Qianqian suddenly looked over here.
He was so shocked that his breath froze and he subconsciously avoided her sight.
"It's here!"
The officials beside him shouted excitedly.
He came back to his senses and looked along the official road, and saw Lu Yuan leading the way, leading the Jinwu Guards with Han Ci to **** the Queen's honor guard coming in force.
Lu Yuan was wearing a court uniform, but I don't know if it was everyone's misunderstanding, but I always felt that the treacherous official's expression was as if he was getting married again.
Meng Qianqian was petrified in situ.
What's going on? Didn’t my cousin say it would arrive only at dusk? It was just after noon.

How do your officials from the Ministry of Rites do things? Is there one less process to go through?
I traveled half way around the capital for my wedding, are you sure the Queen doesn’t need to travel around half of the city?
How many times do we see each other in life? Have the common people witnessed the Queen's phoenix?
Tan'er was very excited: "The Governor is so handsome! It's so fast! I like it so much!"
Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Didn't your mother say that men are too fast?"
Tan'er pursed her lips and thought for a while: "Eniang, you are not active in eating, and there is something wrong with your thinking!"
Meng Qianqian: “…”
The Queen's guard of honor arrived earlier than expected, and all the officials were unhappy.
Even though it’s autumn, the heat is still there. Who would be willing to stand in the scorching sun and dry it into dried fish?
In this way, under Lu Yuan's methodical arrangements, the civil and military officials and clan members quickly and smoothly completed the ceremony to welcome the queen.
Immediately afterwards, he entered the Jinluan Palace to pay homage to the emperor.
"My concubine, Mrs. Yao, please pay homage to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
"Cousin..." Zong Zhengxi was just about to let Yao Qingluan stand up when he caught a glimpse of Lu Yuan's serious look, and he sat back uprightly.
Eunuch Qin: "Please ask the emperor and empress to move to the Shouhuang Palace."
Zong Zhengxi and Yao Qingluan went to the Shouhuang Palace to pay homage to their ancestors, then to the Buddhist Hall to pay homage to the Queen Mother, and finally to the Zhaoming Palace to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Queen.
Eunuch Qin raised the dust in his hand and said, "Enter - Jiaofang Hall -"
Lu Yuan asked Eunuch Qin: "Is this the ceremony?"
Eunuch Qin said with a smile: "Not yet, I have to drink Hexin wine."
Lu Yuan frowned: "What kind of wine?"
Eunuch Qin said: "He-Ning Wine, the Governor, you also drank on your wedding night. Only after drinking the He-Ning Wine can the ceremony be considered truly complete. Don't worry, Governor, He-Ning Wine is not intoxicating and your Majesty can drink it even at a young age."
A bolt from the blue flashed over Lu Yuan's head.
"Grand Governor."
"do what?"
"Wine, are you still drinking?"
"You still want to drink? What? Are you going to do whatever you want to the governor when you're drunk?"
That night, she was talking about Hexin wine? !
Eunuch Qin noticed something was wrong with Lu Yuan's face and asked with concern: "Grand Governor, what's wrong with you?"
"nothing!"
Lu Yuan left with a livid face!
King Miao walked over in a swaggering manner: "Huh? Grandson, why are you going? Ignoring people? You stinky boy!"
He waved his hand and entered the Zhaoming Palace with a smile on his face: "The Emperor! The banquet is about to begin!" (End of this chapter)
