The Destiny of Going to Hell

Chapter 185: Startling Steps 8 Fu Jin 15

The concubines in the harem followed the ceremonial procession on both sides according to their rank, accompanying them all the way to the Golden Throne Hall.

In front of the Golden Palace, civil and military officials in court robes knelt to welcome the procession.

The phoenix sedan stopped in front of the red carpet, and the highest-ranking lady in the royal family helped Minghui get off the sedan, straightened the wrinkles on her dress, and handed her the jade ruyi.

Kangxi had already stood on the stairs before Minghui. Next, Minghui was going to hold the jade ruyi in her hand, walk across the red carpet, up the low-key dragon-patterned stairs, and walk to the side of Kangxi.

From a distance, the two men looked at each other, and Kangxi's heart was filled with surging emotions.

Kangxi had imagined many times what Minghui would look like wearing a phoenix robe, but the fantasy in his mind was not as good as the reality today.

Minghui is beautiful and has a bold aura. Wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, she looks even more majestic, solemn yet gentle, dignified yet unparalleled in beauty.

The phoenix robe she was wearing was carefully woven with golden silk threads, extremely gorgeous and magnificent. The delicate golden threads sparkled in the sun, like flowing clouds and brocade, demonstrating her supreme nobility.

Minghui's long hair was like a waterfall, elegantly tied up by a golden crown inlaid with rare jewels. On the golden crown were pearls and precious stones carefully selected by Kangxi, sparkling with dazzling light. The gilded nine-tailed phoenix hairpin and the oriental pearl peony hairpin shone brightly as Minghui walked, complementing the luxurious phoenix robe she was wearing, setting off each other and adding a bit of extraordinary temperament.

Such a noble demeanor, like a fairy floating on the water, makes people fall in love with her and feel awe at first sight. She is truly the most beautiful woman in the world, with natural beauty and unparalleled elegance.

On the steps, Kangxi looked at the woman who was getting closer and closer to him, with a smile in his eyes that became even brighter. He suddenly strode down the steps and held Minghui's hand in front of all the civil and military officials.

"I will personally take you to my side. You are my wife."

Kangxi's ardent and sincere gaze enveloped Minghui, which was his pure and innocent true heart.

Minghui gently turned her hand and interlocked her fingers with Kangxi's. Her eyes were full of tenderness and determination. Kangxi murmured, "We will be together through life and death. I will hold your hand and grow old with you."

The two smiled at each other, walked up the steps together, and accepted the kowtows of the crowd. From today on, they were husband and wife forever, and Minghui was the second most honorable person in the world, the master of the Qing Dynasty!

The ninth brother below lowered his head tightly, and a tear rolled down the corner of his eye. From now on, she was his legitimate empress dowager.

The Tenth Prince, who was standing by, felt distressed watching this. He and the Ninth Prince had always been the best of friends, and it was only for the Ninth Prince's sake that he played with the Eighth Prince.

Later, the starling was gentle and comforting, and there was a bit more sincerity when they were together.

But in the end, Brother Nine is the most important.

Since Ninth Brother broke up with Eighth Brother for Minghui, no, for the Empress Dowager, then there is no need for me to go to Eighth Brother's house.

But, Ruoxi...

After much thought, the Tenth Prince could only go to Empress Yi to plead for mercy. After all, Ruoxi could no longer participate in the selection, and it would take a lot of effort to make her his wife.

Ruoxi struggled in the mansion for a long time, and finally decided that no matter whether it was the Qing Dynasty in her understanding, she could not stay in the Eighth Prince's mansion.

He was a loser in the original Qing Dynasty and ended up with a quiet end. Now his wife has been taken away and he has to hold a jar of wine every day. What good can one get from following him?

The heart-pounding feeling I had a few days ago was directly extinguished by her.

Apart from the Eighth Prince, the Tenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, and the Fourth Prince, who should I choose?

No matter what, the Tenth Prince was easy to talk to, and the Fourteenth Prince was also quite gentle, but the face of Yinzhen kept appearing in Ruoxi's mind from time to time.

He is the final winner, he is Yongzheng!

With her psychological balance swaying, Ruoxi wrote a letter.

Minghui was reading ancient books in the Qianqing Palace when she heard Concubine Yi asking for a meeting outside. She was very surprised and then asked Cuizhi to bring the person in.

What Concubine Yi wanted was simple: her son had grown up and needed to get married.

If the tenth son had not come to ask for help, she would have even forgotten that her own son had not yet married. The ninth son had a good appearance but loved business, which displeased the emperor.

The Tenth Prince even wanted to ask for help from Ruoxi, who was not allowed to participate in the selection by the Emperor himself, and who had a grudge against the Queen.

Concubine Yi was overwhelmed, so she went to Minghui and asked Minghui to suggest to the emperor that he should choose a wife for the two children.

As for the Tenth Prince's wish to marry Ruoxi, he can just take her as a princess in private. He won't ask for it. He will wait for the Emperor's order and the matter will be resolved.

Minghui readily agreed and just mentioned it briefly.

Kangxi also thought it made sense. The ninth and tenth sons had reached the age where they should be given wives, and the eleventh and twelfth sons were also waiting.

So when the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet arrived, Kangxi directly announced that he would grant wives to the ninth and tenth princes.

The Tenth Prince came with Ruoxi. He was so happy to hear the news that he looked at Ruoxi happily. Ruoxi felt a little dizzy.

Judging from the look on the Tenth Prince's face, could it be him? No way?

"I think Qishi's daughter Dong'e is suitable to be Yinzhen's wife. As for the tenth brother, Prince Wuerjin Galapu told me a few days ago that his daughter, Abagai Borjigit, is also old enough, so let you two be a couple."

Ruoxi felt relieved after hearing this, and the Fourth Prince also breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to confront the Emperor.

After Kangxi finished speaking, the Ninth and Tenth Princes were struck by lightning. The Ninth Prince knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have no intention of marrying. I only wish to devote my life to business."

The Ninth Prince had a firm look and a resolute face, which made Kangxi so angry that he took a deep breath. This child just thought about competing with the people for profit all day long.

Forget it, it’s better not to marry the daughter of the Qishi family to Lao Jiu. I’m really afraid that he will take their daughter to open a shop and work as a housekeeper.

He was just about to wave his hand and give up when the Tenth Prince knelt down and said, "Father, I already have someone I like, so I cannot obey your order."

He knocked his head loudly and the sound was sonorous and powerful.

Well, one by one, they all disobey me.

Kangxi said coldly, "Really? Which family is this girl from?"

The Tenth Prince seemed unaware of Kangxi's cold tone. He looked at Ruoxi and said, "I beg the Emperor to grant Ruoxi to me as his legitimate wife!"

Following the Tenth Prince's words, Kangxi looked at Ruoxi. This woman who once made Minghui angry acted without any regard for the sins of her family.

"Since you are interested, then grant her to be your concubine. As for the position of principal wife, she is not worthy yet."

Hearing Kangxi's words, Ruoxi just found it funny. Why was she treated like an object and given away?

Is this the emperor? He can decide people's fate at will and make them lose their freedom!

No, she didn't want to let others decide her fate so easily. She looked at Yinzhen for help, and the Fourth Prince also knelt down.

"Father, I am also attracted to Ruoxi. I beg you to give her to me."
