Qian Liu came in with Chengye in her arms. As soon as she entered the room, she put him down. Chengye walked towards Yun Shang. He looked up at Yun Shang for a long time before he clapped his hands and smiled, "Mother, you look good."
Everyone laughed, "Even the Prince praised your majesty is beautiful. His majesty will not be able to take his eyes off you later."
While they were talking and laughing, a maid's voice came from outside, "Your majesty, the Phoenix chariot is waiting outside our palace. It's time to go to the palace gate."
Yun Shang nodded. The headwear was too heavy for her to do that easily. Qin Yi hurried to help Yun Shang up. Qian Zhuo and Qian Liu helped [云裳] straighten the hemline of the long dress. Yun Shang lifted her foot and slowly walked out of the Weiyang Palace.
It was fine today. There was no cloud, and there was a breeze. Although it was cold, it was still a little warm because of the sunlight.
Yun Shang looked up at the blue sky and heard Madam Qi's voice, Get up."
The chariot shook and was lifted up. They passed the Imperial Garden, the Moonlight Gate, the Happiness Gate, and the Gate of Tranquil Longevity before they arrived at the palace gate.
WhenYun Shang got to the gate of the palace, she saw Luo Qingyan go to the bell tower in a dark robe embroidered with a golden flying dragon. Her eyes kept following Luo Qingyan's back. She put her hands on Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo's and got off the Phoenix chariot. Soon after Luo Qingyan went up the bell tower, the drawn-out sound of the bell started ringing out one after another for twelve times.
After it stopped, Luo Qingyan went downstairs and walked towards Yun Shang. Yun Shang couldn't help smiling. Looking up at him, she was moved.
She was born and raised in the court. She had once hated it, hated the fights in the palace, hated the scheming inside, and had even thought of escaping from it with her mother. But now, she had experienced a lot of things. Ever since today, it really meant that she might be locked behind this heavy palace wall for the rest of her life. All her experiences including the ups and downs of her life, laughter or tears, would be witnessed by the court.. But at this moment, when she saw Luo Qingyan walking towards her step by step, she felt extremely steadfast in
going to..."
"I have to go back to the Weiyang Palace to change clothes," Yun Shang held her neck and said, "This phoenix coronet is too heavy. I feel my neck is almost broken."
Luo Qingyan couldn't help smiling, "Thank you for your hard work. Please go back to change your clothes."
Yun Shang replied and left the Taiji Palace.
The Phoenix chariot was waiting outside the palace. Seeing Yun Shang come out, the servants hurried forward and helped Yun Shang get on the chariot.
The Weiyang Palace was repaired. Yun Shang had moved back to it a few days before.
Before they entered the Weiyang Palace, Yan Pin had prepared the clothes for the banquet. She was waiting in the hall with the servants in the hall. When they saw Yun Shang, they curtsied to her, "Hail Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
"Get up."
Everyone stood up in a hurry and Yan Pin said in a gentle voice, "Your majesty, these clothes are for you to wear at the banquet later. I made them myself and have checked them inside and outside for countless times. Please don't worry, your majesty."
Yun Shang nodded and entered the inner hall, "Help me get changed."
The servants took the clothes from Yan Pin's hands and began to change clothes for Yun Shang.
"I've investigated into the matter about the underwear. All the people who used to handle it have been locked up and inquired carefully. However, the dresses used for the ceremony were all under the watch of the Shangyi Bureau's late steward, Yu Nian. Now, Yu Nian is no longer here... "
