She is a stranger
The sky was clear and bright. The sky was blue and cloudless. The sunlight was still on the ground. The entire general's platform was filled with dazzling brilliance, but it was not hot at all. Waves of breeze brought with it a slight chill, refreshing the heart.
Green vines climbed up the platform, full of vigor and vitality.
And here, the coronation ceremony of Yue Country Emperor Jun Changyou was about to take place.
"Boom —"
A deafening bell sound instantly resounded throughout the entire Yue Country.
There were ninety-nine eighty-one large bronze bells lined up on one side of the podium, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. As far as the eye could see, they formed a long bronze dragon, very imposing.
A thousand soldiers stood on the other side of the podium, lined up in neat rows, their heads held high and their chests puffed out. All the officials of Royal Family of the State of Yue wore official robes and lined up in a long line according to their rank. They all arrived at the entrance of the palace in a uniform.
A long red carpet extended from the entrance of the palace all the way to the counting platform.
Today, Qi Yun changed from his usual white robes to a black eagle python robe, holding onto a small, exquisite boy.
All the citizens of the city were gathered together, wanting to see this legendary person who had ascended the throne at the age of ten, surpassing Emperor Jun Changyou.
Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, Jun Changyou walked up the red carpet step by step while being led by the hand of the Regent King.
In the end, he stood at the highest point of the platform, with a stern and dignified expression, he looked down at the civil and military officials, as well as the citizens of Yue Country.
Shang Zhiqing stood at Jun Changyou's right side. She wore a cyan long robe, and her black hair was completely tied up. On the other hand, Qi Yun stood to Jun Changyou's left. Both of their expressions were as calm as water.
Jun Changyou had a feminine appearance, with exquisite facial features, red lips and white teeth, his appearance was top-notch. If he disguised himself as a woman, when his facial features matured, he would have a devastatingly beautiful face.
Wait? Women's wear? Jun Changyou looked very familiar, as though he had seen it somewhere before.
Xie Qingrong set her gaze on Jun Changyou's body, as though she could burn a hole in the dragon robe on Jun Changyou's body. After carefully recalling for a while, she finally came to a realization.
It was her! That day, at the Fangfang Feast, standing beside Qi Yun. The girl he saw that day was a little naive and timid. He never would have thought that she would actually be the Yue Country Emperor who was disguised as a man today, Jun Changyou.
This Qi Yun really had a lot of guts and courage. It was no wonder that the Qi Family would push him to be the new Regent. It wasn't without reason.
Xie Qingrong's gaze swept across the hundreds of officials lined up on the stage. All of them were extremely respectful, and no one doubted Jun Changyou's feminine appearance.
If it wasn't for the wrong place, she really wanted to clap her hands and clap her hands. No wonder Xuanyuan Chen said yesterday that the Qi Family had a huge ambition, to be so daring, to steal the day from the heavens.
As he turned his head, his gaze made contact with Xuanyuan Chen's gaze. As expected, Xie Qingrong was able to read the astonishment in Xuanyuan Chen's eyes, it seems like Xuanyuan Chen had also just found out that Jun Changyou was a woman.
Interesting, he actually managed to hide Xuanyuan Chen from him.
Xie Qingrong curled her lips and teased: "I thought you knew that there was nothing you couldn't do. I assume that you only found out about the identity of the Yue Country's Little Emperor just now."
After Xuanyuan Chen heard this, his handsome eyebrows twitched, and his lips hooked into a slight smile. "A horse has its hooves, looks like A Rong has very high requirements for this king. If this king wants A Rong to trust this king, I'm afraid it will take even more energy."
Xie Qingrong laughed faintly: "But then again, this Qi Yun is indeed a big deal. He can actually conceal the fact that Jun Changyou is a woman, and also lied to everyone, making everyone submit to Jun Changyou."
Xuanyuan Chen scratched Xie Qingrong's straight, delicate and small nose, and explained to Xie Qingrong with a smile: "A Rong mustn't underestimate these subjects. For these people, it is the same no matter who sits on the position of the Yue Country's Emperor. As long as Qi Family doesn't fall down, Yue Country will still have to follow the rules and live life.
Moreover, this Qi Family was already one of the strongest, if the matter were to be exposed, Qi Yun only needed to find an excuse. These ministers were also willing to die a miserable death. After all, they were all willing to give whatever was in their hands to Qi Yun. So, as to whether Jun Changyou is a woman or a man, maybe all these ministers are well aware of this. "
Xie Qingrong nodded.
Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong's gazes were entirely focused on Qi Yun and Jun Changyou, but they seemed to have forgotten about Shang Zhiqing who was at the side.
And the first thing Shen Haoxuan saw was Shang Zhiqing, who was standing at the side with a serious face and imposing manner.
Xie Qingrong saw that Shen Haoxuan was in a daze, she touched Shen Haoxuan's arm and asked worriedly: What's wrong, why do you look so worried and worried?
"Look at that Shang Zhiqing, does she change a lot?" Shen Haoxuan asked as he pointed at Shang Zhiqing who was standing on the stage with a slightly disappointed expression.
"It's her, but …" Where did she change? " Xie Qingrong asked somewhat puzzled.
"Eyes, manner, action. All of these told me the change in Shang Zhiqing. "Shen Haoxuan said with a bit of disappointment, he hesitated for a while, and then continued:" Actually all of these aren't important, the important thing is that what happened to Shang Zhiqing.
"Where do you think she's changed? When we meet …" Xie Qingrong proposed, but before she finished, she was pushed to the side by the crowd, leaving Shen Haoxuan and Xuanyuan Chen far behind.
Xuanyuan Chen followed Xie Qingrong and was pushed behind him. Shen Haoxuan asked, "What happened after we met?" Turning his head to look, he saw that Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen were already gone from his side.
It was not the Shang Zhiqing that the Heavenly Sage had met before. It was the lively, naive, weird and clever Shang Zhiqing.
At the moment, Shang Zhiqing's entire body was releasing the aura of an emperor, she was not one bit inferior to Jun Changyou and Qi Yun. He knew that she was now the tutor of the Yue Country Emperor Jun Changyou, the first female teacher that the Yue Country had taught the Emperor since the founding of the Kingdom.
Such a strange Shang Zhiqing, he suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and shifted his gaze away, no longer looking at her.
Shang Zhiqing, along with Qi Yun and the rest of Yun Yun Yun's group who were looking down from above, had long noticed Shen Haoxuan, Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen.
