Chapter 654 Even Heaven Has to Hold Its Breath for Me

en following Ye Wenyan these past few days. " 。She smiled: "Ayan still remembers me, you even left your personal guard to protect me." 。"Jiē Dù was unwilling to talk much with her, because he felt t...Her mother was frightened and immediately scolded her: "Shut up! How can you say such things Don't you want to live anymore" The young woman was unhappy, "I was just..." 。"That won't do either! The Ye family is now as powerful as the sun, they are no longer those two generals who were beaten and humiliated after their deaths!" 。"Yeah!" another lady chimed in, "Keep your mouth shut if you want to live a long life." 。Alright, let's not dwell on that. I heard that Prince Suyuan of the capital entered the city a few days ago. I wonder if he received an invitation to today's palace banquet. 。"Not only Prince Su Yuan, but also County Princess Gui Yue is here, so they will definitely be invited together." 。Su Yuan, the prince, was extremely handsome. But the high priest was eerie and sinister; he practiced sorcery and could control people invisibly, killing them without a trace. 。"Really that powerful How does it compare to our Emperor" "That's impossible to compare, the Emperor is unrivaled, the best under heaven." 。Finally, they could enter the palace. Led by the attendants in purple robes from Yanhuagong's Ziyigong, people walked towards Yanhuashan. Under the guidance of the purple-robed attendants, they began to climb the 199 steps of Yanhuashan. 。The wives who have always been pampered and well-protected haven't experienced such hardship. Even going to a temple outside the city for incense, they only climb gentle slopes and have never climbed stairs as high and steep as this. 。The other women, those men who came into the palace from Deyang Gate, each one panting and sweating profusely as they climbed. 。But fortunately, no one fell behind. Even though they were exhausted and gasping for breath, they all climbed with all their might, fearing that if they lagged behind, they wouldn't be allowed into the Yanhuadong Hall. 。The temple on the mountain is everyone's dream, now the dream is right in front of us, how can we not fight for it 。Finally, everyone entered the main hall. A large number of purple-clad palace attendants then stepped forward and led them to their designated positions. 。 The Yanhua Hall was exceptionally large, and it seemed magical, as the space inside was much larger than it appeared from the outside. 。Mingming was drenched in sweat after just climbing the mountain, but as soon as he stepped into the hall, a cool breeze swept over him. His sweat disappeared quickly, his clothes felt dry, and he even felt more refreshed than when he had left home. 。Some people exclaimed, “Could this be magic Is the Yanhuadang a fairy palace Fairy palaces have fairy magic. We are now surrounded by fairy magic, which is why we feel so refreshed.” 。"This must be what it feels like to be a fairy!" People gradually took their seats. The gates of the Yan Hua Hall remained open, and bursts of floral fragrance wafted in from beneath the hall. Paired with the coolness, it felt as if one were standing amidst a mountain stream. Some even heard the gentle babble of water and the soft chirping of birds. 。Look! The prince has a flower!” I don't know who shouted that, but because they were so surprised, their voice was very loud. Everyone in the hall heard it. 。Then, they all looked towards the palace gate and sure enough, flowers bloomed on the white jade ground. 。Those flowers were a riot of color, with hundreds of varieties blooming together. They sprouted from the ground and grew at an incredible speed, reaching their full height in just a short time. 。The gentle breeze carried wafts of fragrance into the palace, causing people to forget if they were in the human world or a fairyland. 。Even so, who ever heard of flowers growing out of thin air It was just the jade stone path we had walked on moments ago, and now it's covered in flowers, all sorts and kinds, chaotically yet intertwined, growing like a beautiful picture. 。Then butterflies and bees came quickly, so was this a real flower or a fake one And so, was the jade ground we just saw a fake, or were the flowers fake Just as people were in shock, a song rang out, playing — "The Emperor and Empress have arrived!"People knelt down one after another, all saying: "Welcome the Emperor! Welcome the Empress!" At this time, they should have bowed their heads, but no one dared to lower their heads, because everyone wanted to see what it was like when the Emperor and Empress appeared together. 。Then everyone raised their heads and looked towards the palace gate, and soon they saw Shi Liyuan in a crimson robe leading Ye Wenyan in a pale gold silk gown into the hall. 。Their hands were clasped tightly together, even with their wide sleeves it was possible to see their fingers intertwined. 。Since it wasn't a grand wedding, Ye Wen didn't adorn herself with overly extravagant headwear. She only wore a golden hairpin adorned with a phoenix shape in her hair bun, glittering softly. 。At this moment, the beauty of Lin'an's number one beauty was even more dazzling. Soon, some people noticed that Ye Sijie's face was no longer as pale as before, but had returned to its radiant complexion from before the beginning of December. 。For a moment, the fans of Ye Jia Mo's beauty stirred again, uncontrollably murmuring: "The number one beauty in Lin'an, this is the number one beauty in Lin'an!"Someone beside them reminded, "Just shut up, she's the Empress now. Someone you couldn't reach before, and you still can't reach her now." 。The Emperor and Empress entered the hall together, and soon walked to their place of honor under everyone's gaze. 。Then, the Emperor raised his hand, and the jade throne transformed instantly into a chair crafted from flowers. Against the backdrop of Ye Wenyan's light golden attire, it was as if a spirit had bloomed within the flowers; a truly celestial sight. 。Even the folks at home could see it, and Ye Si Jie sighed repeatedly: “She's really beautiful, this kind of beauty is different from before” 。She breathed new life into this face and this body, she was no longer the old Ye Si from before. 。The Emperor and Empress took their seats, the people bowed again, and voices rose in unison chanting “Long live the Emperor!” and “Long live the Empress!” 。The person sitting above seemed to hear none of these sounds, only addressing the girl beside him: "When we are wed one day, I shall have all the flowers below bloom in celebration of our union." 。Her voice was loud, everyone could hear her. For a moment many ladies were overcome with emotion and burst into tears. 。Some people's jealousy of Ye Wen deepened, and hatred was almost written on their faces, impossible to conceal. 。At that moment, for some unknown reason, the clear sky suddenly turned overcast. As soon as the high-hanging sun was obscured by a mass of clouds, the entire world lost its brightness. 。Just like before a storm, it's eerily quiet. 。People were indeed afraid because the supervisor had predicted that there would be no rain today, and that it would remain sunny for the next few days. 。It couldn't have rained like this suddenly, was it the inspector's mistake, or...or is this a warning from the master The Empress chosen by the Emperor, wouldn't she be the one favored by the masterSo some started to murmur: "This is inauspicious! It's a joyous occasion, yet it's suddenly overcast. This is an omen..." 。"Could it be that Ye Si and the Emperor are not meant to be Is this a sign from above" "Perhaps it's also possible that someone like the Emperor shouldn't get married at all. He should remain above everyone else, worshipped by them." 。“The speaker was a young girl, her eyes still red from crying. She had been weeping before but now seemed to have regained her composure.” 。> For over four hundred years, he was perfectly fine on his own, yet this year he insists on appointing an emperor. This is truly going against the natural order. 。"It’s not necessarily true, maybe it's just bad luck. This isn't a big deal, and the Imperial Commissioner can't really control when Lao He rains." 。People were buzzing with discussion and all looked towards Master Lǐ Fēn's direction. 。Shi Liyuan remained seated calmly, with Ye Sijie's hand still tightly clasped in his. It seemed as though this sudden oppressive atmosphere had nothing to do with him, and he was utterly unaffected. 。He even asked Ye Wenyan, "Do you prefer overcast days or sunny days" Ye Wenyan said, "I don't really mind, but it seems like most of the guests prefer sunny weather." 。Today is your turn to host, so you have to make sure the guests are satisfied. 。"So let's just go with their mood!" "Hmm, I trust your judgment." 。He does as you say, not as the guests feel. 。The guest's emotions are of no concern to him, none of these people down here matter to him, he only cares if his family's daughter is happy or not. 。Since you, Ayan, are willing to follow their lead, then let us follow theirs as well. 。"Humph! What auspiciousness or inauspiciousness, what should or shouldn't be done, Night Four Sister is this deity's favorite. Even if the old one disagrees, she has to swallow her resentment!" As the words fell, everyone saw the great sleeves of the Emperor sweep casually, and the gloomy sky instantly cleared. 。The outside of the hall, which was just dim a moment ago, is now bathed in brilliant sunshine. The flowers that grew on the flat ground are even more dazzling under the sun's rays. 。The Emperor's voice rang out again, he—“Four hundred years ago, when the Earthly Spirit power disappeared, even Dao could not help this deity” 。Four hundred years have passed, what does the old master amount to In my presence, besides A-Yan, no one can make decisions!” This statement ignited the crowd with passion. A fire burned in their hearts, fueled by their fervor and pride as citizens of Bei Qi, to have a divine being like Emperor Zun protecting them. 。But some were more composed. At the banquet, Quan Qinghua slightly furrowed her brow, gazing out at the palace with a thoughtful expression. 。The banquet for the emperor's betrothal shouldn't have been disrupted by my sudden arrival. 。The diviners have been predicting auspicious omens on important days for centuries, and their predictions have never been wrong. 。How could things go so wrong today It seems that some people have indeed taken rather unusual measures, but unfortunately, those methods are simply not enough in the face of a Celestial Emperor. 。He turned his gaze to Wang Quanji, the regent. Just as if by coincidence, Wang Quanji raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead, as if he were perspiring. 。He leaned in and whispered to Quan Qingyin beside him, “Sixth Brother, do you know what year and month our Imperial Uncle first had dealings with the people of Suyuan With the Suyuan Prince bringing priests and medicine men to Beiqi this time, what are their intentions” Quan Qingyin glanced at him, “Fourth Brother, why bring this up I don't know about Imperial Uncle's affairs either...” 。"Your Majesty truly hopes that you know nothing, absolutely nothing. When the time comes and someone seeks to clear your name, they will have a perfectly legitimate reason to do so." 。"Otherwise..." He shook his head, not continuing. 。 Even if it weren't Your Majesty, even I would be worried to death.” 。"Our prince has never suffered any hardship. Will the Regent lock him up and starve him""He dares!" Empress Li trembled with anger...
