Three months later.
It had rained all night last night, and the weather had turned cold again this morning. Ye Jinsu loved to sleep. She slept on the bed until late morning, and only after Ning Yun had finished his morning assembly did she get up from the bed.
Xiao Hong came bounding in from the outside and pointed at Ye Jinxiu, "Look, Miss. This Spring Festival breed is so pretty. We have never seen it before in the Ye Residence."
Meng Lan took the Spring Festival from Xiao Hong's hands and pulled her a bit further away from Ye Jinsu, so that she wouldn't have to endure the cold spring air.
"It's no big deal, it's time to change his name."
Meng Lan lightly scolded Xiao Hong. She reached out her hand to insert Yingchun into a bottle beside her. She looked at Ye Jinsu and said, "A few days ago, this servant went to the clothes shop to see the Empress's dress. Although the time was short, I've already done enough.
It was now March, and the day of Ye Jinsu's ceremony was getting closer and closer. Ye Jinsu's imperial edict had come three months ago. However, it was still in the first month of the year, so he needed time to prepare for the grand ceremony.
This dragged on until March.
Ye Jinsu nodded as she listened. Meng Lan was watching over this matter, so she didn't need to worry.
"Is the previous emperor's Thoughtful Cloud Pavilion almost completed?" Ye Jinxiu suddenly asked, looking at Ning Yunlian.
Ning Yunyin was peeling pine nuts for Ye Jinsu, and her men were constantly moving around her body. She just gave a 'hmm' and continued peeling the pine nuts.
"It's about to cremate the previous emperor again, and cripple the harem as well. Didn't the ministers in the court eat you?" Ye Jinsu couldn't help but ask.
Ning Yunyin chuckled and handed a handful of pine nut seeds over to Ye Jinsu. She clapped her hands as she spoke, "There are a few stubborn old men in Central Plains, but I've been able to catch some of them recently. They've subsided a little."
It was all thanks to Ye Jinsu's move to send the tangerine.
It had truly messed up the situation in the imperial court. Apart from Ning Yunxiao, no one had seen anything like this. Ning Yunyin was currently pretending that she wasn't on good terms with the ministers, but in reality, she was secretly planning things out.
On the other side, there were also a few people who were indecisive, afraid that they would be in danger. All of them came to Ning Yun to draw allegiance to her.
In short, Ning Yunyin clearly understood that they were stuck in a muddle. No matter how much they tried to stir her, they would have to see her do it.
Those old rotten things really couldn't do anything to him.
Ye Jinsu chuckled and relaxed a little.
There was a squeak and the door opened.
Xiao Hong hurriedly ran in from outside again, provoking Meng Lan to scold her a few more times. Hearing this, Little Red pouted and ran over to Ye Jinxiu, saying, "Miss, the person you wanted to invite has already arrived."
Ye Jinsu's eyes lit up. She sat up and asked, "Little Rong'er is here?"
"So fast?" It was a long journey like this, and Ning Yunyin thought it would take some time.
"Quick, let her in!" Ye Jinxiu said excitedly.
Xiao Hong responded and quickly ran out, leading the two familiar faces in. Uncle Rong and Little Rong'er followed behind Xiao Hong with a stiff look, not daring to look up from their journey.
Seeing the two seated, Uncle Rong and Little Rong'er immediately kowtowed. "Greetings to the emperor and esteemed empress …"
Ye Jinsu stood up and helped Little Rong'er and Uncle Rong up. "Hurry and get up. Are you tired from the journey?"
Seeing the familiar face before her, little Rong'er hesitated for a moment. In the end, she looked at Ye Jinsu and said, "You, why didn't you tell me that you were actually the empress …"
When someone had come to pick them up, they had been so frightened that they had almost not dared to believe it.
Who would have thought that among the two people he had casually saved, one was the Emperor and the other was the Empress?
This was too scary.
A few days ago, because of this incident, little Rong'er didn't sleep well for a few days. Although it's a bit better now, little Rong'er is really not used to it.
Ye Jinsu shrugged innocently and said, "I wasn't the empress at that time."
After saying that, Ye Jinsu laughed, grabbed hold of little Rong'er and whispered into her ear, "I invited you here to participate in my wedding."
She had witnessed Xiao Rong'er's marriage, and now that it was her turn, she wanted Xiao Rong'er to be present.
Xiao Rong'er glanced at Ning Yunyin, who was standing to the side, and smiled in understanding.
She also leaned close to Ye Jinsu's ear and whispered, "I heard that the emperor crippled the entire harem for your sake."
"Do you know how it's transmitted to you from the outside?"
"How?"
"Everyone said that the emperor and empress have a deep affection for each other. They say that the emperor fell in love with you, but only you …"
Ye Jinsu laughed as she heard this, but didn't say anything as she glanced at Ning Yunyin.
The grand ceremony was set for the end of March, and the formal attire was delivered early. The reason why the post-sealing ceremony was delayed for so long was because the process of this set of clothes was too complicated. In addition to other accessories, the box full of clothes and ZhuiCui, looking at Ye Jinsu dazzled.
Meng Lan looked at the two large boxes that were sent over from the Internal Affairs Bureau. She could not help but sigh. "The Emperor treats the Empress so well."
"In all these years, there has never been an Empress who could match up to the Empress."
Ye Jinxiu's eyes softened as she saw this. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ning Yunyin, who was also looking at her.
Their gazes met, and the tender love in Ning Yunyin's eyes was like a storm that enveloped Ye Jinsu.
Ye Jinsu lowered her head and snickered.
"Quickly put it on for the Empress, or else the auspicious hour will be missed." Meng Lan urged from the side, pushing Ye Jinsu as she prepared to change into her dress.
After everything was settled, Ye Jinsu walked out with a huge head.
She still hadn't looked in the mirror, so she didn't know what she looked like now. All she knew was that this phoenix coronet that was full of jade was really heavy …
Ning Yunyin, who was standing outside, breathed heavily. The beauty in her eyes instantly turned into pitch-black pupils. Ye Jinsu looked at him, and then held the phoenix crown on her head, "Isn't it nice to look at?"
Ning Yunyin lowered her head and looked at Ye Jinsu with a profound gaze. She spoke with a deep and low voice, "She's very pretty …"
He felt that the complicated ceremony after this was getting in the way.
With a slight cough from the side, Ye Jinsu blushed and pushed Ning Yunyin away. Ning Yunyin also coughed dryly, realizing that she had lost control of herself.
Li De didn't dare laugh, but led the way with a serious face. He said, "Empress, the auspicious hour has arrived. Let's go."
Outside the Chong Yang Palace, etiquette and entertainment were ongoing.
Ning Yunyin looked at the slightly nervous Ye Jinsu and grabbed her hand. As the ceremony started, Ning Yunyin led Ye Jinsu and walked steadily towards Chong Yang Palace.
They walked through Chong Yang Palace hand in hand. They performed etiquette and music, and ascended to heaven from the altar. From the Supreme Temple down to the ancestors, they would tread on the brazier like an ordinary couple.
This path was very long, but it was very difficult for them.
But when they walked together down the long path, the result was that they ended up standing together.
