The next morning at the Drunken Soul Pavilion
Today, the entire street where the Drunken Soul Pavilion was located was bustling with activity. It was packed with people early in the morning. Everyone had heard that the Emperor had decreed that the most popular performer of the Drunken Soul Pavilion, Feng, would enter the palace as a concubine and would send a guard of honor from the palace to welcome her. This matter was unprecedented in the history of the Sky Bearing Empire. For a male actor to receive such respect, it could be said to be the envy of others. Everyone huddled and squeezed, hoping to see this man's face. They wanted to see what kind of national beauty could make the current emperor unable to give up. He actually didn't care about his lowly status and insisted on keeping him by his side.
"Kaede, don't forget me! After entering the palace, you must be happy and must not be petty to the emperor. The emperor's heart is unpredictable! Today, the emperor has taken a fancy to you, but it's hard to guarantee…Ah, pui, it's not hard to guarantee.”Qiuniang had personally dressed Di Xuanxun up today. In the wee hours of the morning, the palace had sent someone to deliver her palace clothing. Qiu Niang was tidying up and worriedly reminding him. She was like a mother sending her daughter off, thinking about every possible oversight and reminding him again and again. She had always treated Feng as her own son. Looking at the beautiful face in the mirror, Qiu Niang couldn't help but sigh in her heart. A man born with such a face, she didn't know if it was God's favor or a hidden disaster!
"Mom, don't worry. If there's a chance, I'll come back to see you.”It was impossible for Di Xuanxun to stay in the palace for the rest of her life, so the Unfathomable Monarch's Heart did not affect him.
"Don't be silly. How can you come to such a place after entering the palace? Once one entered the noble gate, it was as deep as the sea, let alone the palace gate.”Qiu Niang only thought that it was Feng's words to comfort her, but she didn't know that what he said was true.
"Hehe, Mom, how do I look in this dress?”Di Xuanxun knew that he must have taken Qiu Niang as a joke, so he did not argue and changed the topic. He stood up and spun around to feel his new outfit. Usually, only those who were performing or performing would call their attire. However, Di Xuanxun really regarded the gorgeous palace attire as attire at this moment because he was indeed going to act.
"You're really a national beauty. Feng, no matter how much I praise your appearance, I can't express it.”Qiu Niang admired her own craftsmanship and Feng's peerless appearance with satisfaction, and her words of praise were overflowing.
The translucent red palace dress embroidered with golden silk fluttered in the wind, and the belt fluttered. Maple's enchanting and charming face looked even more luxurious and graceful under the contrast of this dress. His face was like a warm jade crown, his eyebrows were like black mountains, his pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes were slightly raised, but there was no hint of filth in them. His lips were red without a touch, his nose bridge was high, and his facial features were exquisite as if they were meticulously crafted.
"Oh, Mom, you praise me too much. It's almost time for me to go.”Di Xuanxun picked up the red muslin on the table and covered her face, making her face look hazy but more attractive.
Di Xuanxun's appearance when they stepped out of the Drunken Soul Pavilion attracted a lot of noise. Even though there were guards blocking the way, they could not stop the crazy voices of the surrounding people.
The eunuch read out a long string of red tape and handed the imperial edict to Di Xuanxun. The whole process was free of kneeling. "Congratulations, Master Feng. Please follow me back to the palace!”
Di Xuanxun nodded gracefully at the right time and got into the carriage in a graceful manner.
The curtains on all four sides fell down, completely blocking everyone's line of sight. After leaving, he was still as calm and arrogant as a king. Di Xuanxun would forever be a legend.
The ceremonial procession proceeded. After about two hours, Di Xuanxun arrived at Chengyun Palace. This was the first time he had come here openly. At this moment, Di Xuanxun's new life began.
The carriage arrived at the designated location and landed. Di Xuanxun stepped down and the eight people slowly moved forward. They were not shy and timid. Instead, they strolled leisurely like a king. They were not overbearing, but confident and calm.
At this moment, Xiao Luochi had already led the civil and military officials and concubines to stand on the side of the road, waiting for the arrival of this person. Xiao Luochi's ritual was to announce to the world: Di Xuanxun was his! He wanted to give Xun the grandest welcome and the highest courtesy so that he would not regret his decision to enter the palace.
Seeing Di Xuanxun walk towards him in her luxurious attire, Xiao Luochi could not suppress his excitement. He stepped forward and held Di Xuanxun's arm. "Xun, be my queen!" Xiao Luochi spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"You know that I won't be here forever. Don't embarrass yourself.”Di Xuanxun did not speak. She only gave Xiao Luochi her answer through secret sound transmission. She was indifferent but firm.
Hearing this, Xiao Luochi's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he immediately covered it up." Okay, but the imperial concubine, at least."”
"Yes." This time, Di Xuanxun did not refuse.
Standing on the high platform with Di Xuanxun, Xiao Luochi announced to the audience,""Feng is your esteemed monarch, so you don't have to kneel in front of the monarch.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Di Xuanxun immediately bowed.
Xiao Luochi's decision stunned everyone below the stage. However, on such a grand occasion, and Xiao Luochi's meaning was so firm that no one could refute it, so no one dared to discuss it in person. They could only keep their surprise in their hearts. They didn't expect that the Emperor would not only welcome Feng into the palace, but also grant her the title of Imperial Consort and exempt her from kneeling. This was obviously telling everyone that Feng held a very important position in Xiao Luochi's heart.
Xiao Luoli, who was standing on the left-hand side of the stage, stared at Di Xuanxun. She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her flesh without her realizing it. The edge of her sleeves was dyed red. Xiao Luochi must have done it on purpose. He wanted everyone to know that Di Xuanxun was his woman! The first to strike is the strongest, and the name is established. "Xiao Luochi, you are despicable!" But why not just make her queen? With Xiao Luochi's personality and his concern for Di Xuanxun, he would not just be a noble…unless Di Xuanxun refused! " No, that's not right. Xun admitted that she loved her brother, so how could she refuse?" Xiao Luochi, I'm really too kind to you. Not only did you occupy that position, but you also snatched Xun away. You're forcing me to do it!”
Xiao Luoli was not the only one who was gnashing her teeth in anger at Xiao Luochi's actions. The expressions of the concubines in Xiao Luochi's harem changed again and again. They felt indignant, resentful, and jealous at the same time. However, when they saw Di Xuanxun's face, they also felt some unreconciled admiration. Their emotions could not be described as chaotic. They couldn't believe that a man could have such a perfect face. He was charming, but he was proud and domineering. He was not inferior to Xiao Luochi at all. Therefore, everyone had their own plans.
The consort ceremony ended after Di Xuanxun received the golden seal. Throughout the entire process, Xiao Luochi could be said to be very pleased with himself. He had a gentle smile on his face as he gazed at Di Xuanxun longingly. However, he still noticed the reactions of the people below the stage. Those ministers who had always supported him were very well-behaved, but those who had disloyalty were probably trying to use this as an excuse to plot against him. Today, he was making such a big fuss to kill three birds with one stone. The most important thing was to let Kaoru feel that she valued him. On the other hand, Xiao Luoli's reaction did not disappoint him. His actions were only a hint to him that he could only fight for what he wanted with his own strength. He was not afraid of his challenge. As for those ministers who jumped out, he would investigate them properly and completely remove the hidden threats.
These two short hours were as long and difficult as living in hell for Xiao Luoli. She wished she could leave immediately! At this moment, it was hard for him to not be jealous. If he was the emperor, Di Xuanxun would not be his brother's concubine today. Xiao Luochi had used this supreme royal power to establish his status! Power was indeed worth going crazy over. Today's incident had strengthened Xiao Luoli's determination to become a Supreme Martial Artist. He would never give up. Whether it was that position or Xun, he would take it for himself!
After the ceremony ended, Xiao Luoci returned to the Heaven Temple with Di Xuanxun and dismissed everyone. Xiao Luoci could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart and hugged Di Xuanxun tightly. "Xun, you can finally be with me! Do you know how long I've waited for this day?”
"I'm already here." Compared to Xiao Luochi's excitement, Di Xuanxun was very calm, but her tone was gentle and distant. Although Xiao Luo loved him, he was probably showing off his power to Xiao Luoli. Di Xuanxun noticed Xiao Luoli's gaze on her, but he chose to wait and see. Ha, could status trap Di Xuanxun? These two people actually cared so much about this illusory thing.
"Xun, must you be so cold to me? Is it so difficult to accept me?”Xiao Luochi just didn't understand why he couldn't do it.？
"I didn't treat you coldly. Chi, you're thinking too much.”Accept…How could he accept it if his heart died?
"Xun, from now on, you can live in the Heaven Temple. This way, I can see you every day.”Xiao Luochi didn't care if it was reasonable for the concubine to stay in the main palace. He just wanted to see Xun and keep her in his sight.
"I don't want to be an arrow target. Give me a spot in the harem.”Humph, living in the Heaven Temple, Xiao Luochi really could think of that.
"Uh…Xun, you can stay in Kunyi Palace.”
"Kunyi Palace? Isn't that the bedroom of your future empress? It's a waste for you to let me stay…"
"No, I just hope you like it.”Xiao Luochi's tone was hopeful when he said this, but the hope was very slim...
"Don't tell me you're rejecting me even for this?”After saying that, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, let's go there. I'll go back first.”
"Xun, stay with me today, even if, even if it's just to talk to me. You seem to have changed a lot recently…"
"Then tell me what you think I've changed.”It seemed that he would have to wait for another day to gather the Eight Demons of the Underworld…
