The Red Phoenix Gate was already open.
All the officials in Chang 'an, all the ministers, and their families had already passed through the Red Phoenix Gate and entered the Great Ming Palace.
Tens of thousands of people gathered behind the Red Phoenix Sect on the wide square on both sides of the Imperial Bridge.
They stood according to their positions and ranks. The higher the rank, the higher the rank, and the closer the position of their families were to Hanyuan Palace.
Only the person with the highest status had the right to stand in Hanyuan Palace.
Every single one of them was a big shot whose will could cause an earthquake in the entire empire.
But now, in front of Hanyuan Palace, under the huge Dragon Tail Path, these people were as tiny as ants.
The huge palace and the insignificant officials showed the solemnity and holiness of the empire, the supremacy of the imperial power.
Finally, the palace servants and eunuchs began to sing.
"The auspicious hour has arrived!"
"Saint!"
In an instant, tens of thousands of people outside Hanyuan Palace-whether they were the palace guards, the important officials of the imperial court, or the noble ladies, young masters, and daughters-all knelt down respectfully.
Even if it was arranged by the Ministry of Rites, the musicians in charge of playing the music could only kneel and play the music!
Only the Retired Emperor and the Empress Dowager who were waiting for the arrival of the Emperor and Empress to hand over the jade seal and phoenix seal were still standing.
There was no cheering or clamor. In the huge square outside Hanyuan Palace, there was no sound other than the magnificent music.
The huge jade carriage that could only be carried by forty-eight people carried the two supreme emperors of the empire through the Red Phoenix Gate and stepped onto the imperial bridge with the honor guard of more than a thousand people.
On the jade carriage, under the cover of his wide sleeves, Bai Musheng gently held Zhu Menghuang's hand, silently warming her.
With Bai Musheng's warmth, Zhu Menghuang no longer felt that inexplicable sadness.
Like Bai Musheng, she tried her best to put on a solemn expression, but in reality, she was constantly sizing up everything in her sight.
It was a scene that was even more shocking than what he had seen on the road to the Red Phoenix Sect.
All the high and mighty lords knelt in front of her and her husband.
Perhaps some of them had ulterior motives, or perhaps some of them were plotting something, but at least at this moment, these people could only bury their heads deeply.
The closer they got to Hanyuan Palace, the stronger Zhu Menghuang could feel the emperor's dragon aura around Bai Musheng.
It was almost tangible.
This was…the wife's status depended on her husband?
It felt surprisingly good.
I didn't expect that one day, I would feel happy because of the honor brought by a man…I've fallen!
Hearing the little girl's grumbling, a smile appeared at the corner of Bai Muchuan's lips.
Zhu Menghuang couldn't help but raise her head slightly as the palace music reverberated throughout the Great Ming Palace.
In the crowd, some people couldn't help but secretly size up the two noblest people in the world on the jade carriage.
The Son of Heaven was like a god. Under the golden sunlight, no one dared to look directly at him. It was as if stealing a glance at him was an unforgivable blasphemy.
In comparison, the Empress was not as awe-inspiring.
The beauty's exquisite appearance was like a carefully carved immortal from the heavens. It was a little too rich and gorgeous, and a little too dull. It was just the right amount of beauty.
She was wearing a golden phoenix crown, her long black hair was tied up into a cloud, her skin was snow-white, her eyes were bright, and her teeth were white. There were peonies between her eyebrows. She was wearing a phoenix embroidered gold-woven pomegranate red phoenix robe with a slim waist belt and beads. She was wearing a gold-embroidered eight-pleated skirt and her embroidered shoes were inlaid with pearls. Her noble aura was natural, and her every frown and smile were dazzling.
Li Lingcheng clenched his fists tightly and almost spat out blood.
That person looked very much like the rumored most beautiful peony in Luoyang.
However, the beautiful peony was now the high and mighty empress, the person he needed to respectfully address as " Empress ".
Her gaze suddenly swept over, but it did not stay on Li Lingcheng for a moment. It only swept past without feeling anything, and then stopped on Tian Zi beside her.
He never moved away again.
Finally, the long Imperial Bridge came to an end.
The jade carriage slowly ascended along the Dragon Tail Path and arrived in front of Hanyuan Palace.
Bai Musheng got off the carriage, turned around, and stretched out his hand.
Zhu Menghuang had a smile on her face. She placed her fair and smooth hand on Bai Musheng's palm and got off the jade carriage with his help.
The ritual ended.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites began to recite the funeral rites loudly.
As the eunuchs who were arranged to stand in the crowd at regular intervals sang, the funeral oration spread throughout the entire square.
After they finished reciting the eulogy, Bai Musheng and Zhu Menghuang held hands and bowed to the heavens three times respectfully.
He turned around and bowed three times to the Retired Emperor and Empress Dowager.
There were already palace servants kneeling beside the Retired Emperor and Empress Dowager, raising the trays in their hands high above their heads. On the trays were the jade seal and the phoenix seal, symbolizing the authority of the emperor and the empress.
Bai Changge picked up the jade seal with both hands and handed it to Bai Musheng.
"The world."
"I'll pass it on to you."
"I hope that my son will not forget the oath he made that day.”
Bai Musheng knelt down and took the jade seal.
"I will not live up to the world. I will not let down my people."
On the other side, Empress Dowager Gu Lan also handed the seal to Zhu Menghuang and gently patted her hand.
Although she didn't say anything, the smile in her eyes made Zhu Menghuang understand what she meant.
Celestial Empress stood up and turned to face the people who were still kneeling in front of Hanyuan Palace.
Finally-
" Tian Zi-!!!!"
"Long live!"!!!!!!”””””””
"Great Qi Wannian!"!!!!!!”””””””
Zhu Menghuang's eyes widened as she shouted.
The dragon aura around Bai Musheng seemed to have broken through a bottleneck. It transformed from a dense golden mist into a small golden dragon that only she could see, circling around him.
At the same time, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared between heaven and earth!!
